Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Sea Tower Stone - This special stone possesses the power of the sea, which can make a devil fruit user who touches it feel like falling into the sea, losing all resistance.

It itself is famous for its two characteristics of rarity and difficulty in processing.

In today's era, there are forces in the sea capable of using sea stones on a large scale, and only the world government!

Most of the sea floor stones are processed into the simplest shackles, which are used to arrest and detain criminals with devil fruit abilities.

A small number of navies will also add small pieces of sea stones to their usual weapons to deal with tricky ability user enemies.

But the craftsmen who made these weapons would never have imagined in their dreams that there is a secret passage made of Hailou stone in the sky ten thousand meters away from them!

No, more than that...

If there is a space at the end of the passage, and that space is also made of sea stones, then the total amount of sea stones buried underground in Shandora will reach a level that shocks the world!

...

The black stairs go down, and I don't know where they lead.

"What should we do now?"

Crocodile narrowed his eyes and looked at Rowan beside him.

"Want to go down and have a look?"

The complete version of this sentence is naturally "Send someone down to take a look".

After all, for devil fruit capable users, a passage made of Hailoushi with unknown conditions ahead is a dead end!

Regardless of whether they dare or not, ability users can't even walk in the passage with their own strength.

As for the non-capable people, although it is just an ordinary secret path in front of them, they still dare not enter it rashly.

After all, no one can tell whether there is a deadly mechanism in this passage.

If you want to go deep into it, you must be a non-capable expert who is quite confident in your own strength.

Among the people present, the only ones who met this requirement were Murloc Hoka, or 【Sky Knight】Gan Fall.

And Gan Fore just came into contact with the Universal Alliance. Although he is honest and kind, he still can't fully trust him, so the only candidate left is Huoka.

"Let me do it."

Huo Ka rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Luo Wen.

"Here, no rush."

Rowan hooked his fingers, and the surrounding gravel lifted up the scattered bricks, blocking the entrance of the passage again.

"Go back and prepare, and then go."

After all, the situation on Sky Island is quite complicated now.

In order to fight against Enilo, Gan Fore summoned a group of Sandia people, and after Enilo and the priest troops retreated, Bika was left unattended, not to mention the resettlement of many refugees after the war ended. problem.

At this time, it is really unwise to choose to explore a relic eight hundred years ago without any preparation.

Anyway, Gan Fall has agreed to consider joining the Universal Alliance. Once the route is completed, it will not be so troublesome to come to Sky Island again.

Gan Fall, as the representative of Sky Island, also nodded in agreement with Rowan's proposal.

...

Both parties had a day off.

On the third day after the end of the Apayado War, Gan Fore signed the agreement, and Sky Island officially joined the Universal Alliance!

The next job is to establish a safe and fixed route.

But completely different from Magnetic Drum Island, Sky Island is located at an altitude of 10,000 meters and cannot be reached by ordinary sea routes.

Soaring sea current?

Unless you are a desperate lunatic, or someone like Luo Wen who has a special way to deal with it, otherwise, going to the sky and going to the sky island is a near-death!

Of course, it is impossible for Rowan to accompany every ship that sails.

Not to mention that the climate of Sky Island is very special. Because of the scarcity of air, many people from Qinghai will feel extremely uncomfortable when they come to Sky Island for the first time.

and so on.

These troublesome matters must be resolved by the Universal Alliance.

As for the most critical traffic issue, the Sky Islander Habu proposed the most reasonable solution at this stage.

Habu and his teacher went to Qinghai many times to observe the climate, and the means of transportation was a special animal called "balloon octopus".

It lives in the White Sea and has the characteristics of a "balloon". It deflates to descend and inflates to ascend. It is a very interesting creature.

Hang a basket on the bottom, and it becomes the unique "octopus hot air balloon" of Baihai.

The adults of the balloon octopus are fierce, but the juveniles are cute and can be caught.

The only problem is that the larvae of the balloon octopus have limited load capacity, and two people can barely ride, but it is a bit difficult to achieve transportation.

This problem is easy to solve - for Rowan.

He took a boat to the habitat of the balloon octopus on the White Sea and walked around, his domineering look spread.

The population of balloon octopuses has become much gentler and kinder since then.

However, only the means of transportation is not enough. The climate in the high altitude is changeable, and you must be an elite navigator to fully master the control method of the balloon octopus.

That is hundreds of times more difficult than learning Weiba.

Therefore, until someone else learns how to control the balloon octopus, Habu can only be the only pilot.

...

Another two days passed.

The supporting equipment of the balloon octopus has been modified.

Rowan and others, as the first passengers of the balloon octopus airship, boarded the cabin and prepared to return to Alabasta.

Gan Fore also sat inside, planning to go to the desert country to take a look in person.

He approached Rowan and whispered:

"The vicinity of Shandora has been guarded by people, and no one usually goes to Apayado, so it is very safe there, please rest assured."

"There" naturally refers to the sea tower stone passage.

Gan Foer has already learned through the information what the Hailou Stone represents in Qinghai. The black stone is more precious than gold, and it can be used as a war resource!

If Qinghai learns that there is such a stock of Hailou Stone located in the empty island, I am afraid that the whole Qinghai will boil.

At that time, there will be no peace on Sky Island.

Gan Fall didn't want to see that happen.

Today's Sky Island has gone through six years of intermittent wars, and it really needs a "rest".

Whether it's physical or psychological.

Join the Universal Alliance, precisely for this reason!

...

After a week.

Marlin Vandeau, Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

With the information in his hand, Zhan Guo has been waiting at the table for a long time.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Pushing the door open, there were two familiar figures.

Karp, Crane.

"Oh, Sengoku, what did you call us here so early in the morning?"

Karp held a bag of senbei and ate it comfortably.

Hearing this, Zhan Guo rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "Actually... I didn't call you, I only called Xiaohe."

"Ahahahahaha, the old man is afraid that you need help, so the old man is here too!"

Garp sat down on the sofa and laughed loudly: "Let's talk, the old man will definitely be able to help!"

Zhan Guo paused, "I need you to use your brains and help me find a way."

Garp stood up from the sofa, "I'm leaving, goodbye!"

Warring States: "..."

In the end, it was Crane's light cough that stopped the nonsense, and he turned to Zhan Guo and said, "Is it about Alabasta?"

Warring States nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's not just Alabasta, it's the 'Four Seas Alliance' dominated by them."

Crane nodded and said, "I've heard that it's a business alliance, isn't it very common, isn't it, what's the problem?"

Warring States frowned, "Ordinary commercial alliances alone are not a problem, such as the Alabasta and Magnetic Drum Island alliance, which is a good thing for the people of the two countries, but the status of Sky Island is too special. "

"In addition to the previous Murloc Village, the Four Seas Alliance has been involved in the three directions of sea, land and air. Although it is only an ordinary business alliance at this stage, I am worried that problems will arise sooner or later."

Zhan Guo's eyes turned to Granny He, "So, I want to ask you, Xiao He, to think of a way."

During the speech, Karp has been automatically excluded.

But Grandma He was not surprised when she heard the question from the Warring States Period, on the contrary, she had already expected the other party to ask this question.

"Well, this problem is actually very easy to solve."

Granny He smiled and said, "We'll join too, shouldn't it be fine?"

"It makes sense, if we join in, we can keep track of their movements..."

Having said that, Zhan Guo suddenly froze.

He blinked, looked at Crane, looked at Cap, looked at Crane again.

The same is true of Cap's actions.

Crane shook his head helplessly, and repeated again: "We also join, isn't it good?"

Warring States: "..."

Garp: "..."

The two looked at each other again.

"ha?"
