Bloody Spearhead

Chapter 21: Bloody Spearhead

Vast clouds surged wildly from Roy's body.

As large masses of clouds originated from Roy, they continuously merged into the Sea of Clouds above.

With more and more white clouds floating upwards and integrating.

These white clouds, created by his ability, gradually spread out, enveloping the sky above, clouds containing Seastone particles.

"Disperse!"

Seeing that the white clouds he released had reached a certain level.

A roar erupted from Roy's throat.

The Sea of Clouds in the sky.

At this moment, it seemed to obey Roy's command as if it had a life of its own.

A tunnel was forcefully spread open from the cumulonimbus clouds.

"Hahaha, it really succeeded."

Feeling the clouds above, wrapped and containing Seastone particles.

Roy felt that in the future, he would no longer fear any Devil Fruit ability users.

The Sea of Clouds in the sky was equivalent to an ocean floating in the sky.

And as Roy clearly perceived that he could control this Sea of Clouds in the sky through this method of envelopment.

Thus, Roy, who was about to perform on the future stage, had gained another layer of capital.

From now on, any Devil Fruit user who had to fight Roy.

They would have to be wary of whether the white clouds in the sky would become a sea crashing down on them.

The Dark-Dark Fruit could nullify all Devil Fruit abilities.

And the Seastone particles contained within the Sea of Clouds that Roy could control had the same effect as the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Cumulonimbus clouds that had not dispersed for hundreds of years were abruptly pierced, creating a tunnel.

The sunset's rays from the sky shone directly through this tunnel.

Roy, bathed in the sunset's glow, looked like an emperor about to ascend to the heavens.

And this golden tunnel between the clouds seemed like a loyal sky, preparing a ceremony to welcome its king.

Without any hesitation, he looked up directly at the path of clouds he had opened with his ability.

"Sound Release!"

Roy shot upwards through the tunnel at supersonic speed.

Poof!

Bathed in the golden light, Roy passed through the thick Sea of Clouds.

What entered Roy's sight was a breathtaking scene.

The sunset's sunlight was evenly scattered across the Sea of Clouds.

And at this moment, the Sea of Clouds in the sky seemed like the Golden Fleece from Greek mythology.

Watching the golden clouds surge and churn with the passing breeze.

Roy could even see some large fish leaping out of these clouds.

The scene before him left Roy speechless, unable to find words to describe it.

However, fortunately, Roy did not forget his purpose for coming to the sky because of the scenery.

"Echo Map."

Silent sound waves began to spread out from Roy.

As Roy flew rapidly in the sky.

Roy was like a radar, quickly searching the sky for his territory.

The loyal sky would eventually welcome its master.

The current king of the sky was now searching for subjects to conquer.

"I'm hungry, so hungry, Becky, I don't think I can hold on anymore."

A girl with two small wings on her back was weakly crying to her companion.

"Emma, just endure it and sleep. You won't be hungry when you fall asleep.

Maybe when you wake up, Uncle Albert and the others will be back.

I believe by then, they will have brought back plenty of food from Kalia, and you can eat as much as you want then."

Beside the little girl, a slightly older girl, also hungry and weak, stroked her companion's dry, yellow hair and comforted her in a low voice.

"Uncle Albert, will they really bring back food, Becky? I feel so hungry!"

Looking at his companions beside him, their voices seemed to be fading.

The girl called Becky also had a look of bewilderment in her eyes at this moment.

It was clear that she wasn't very sure if Uncle Albert, as she called him, could bring back food.

This was because, according to the intelligence she had gathered from the adults.

Although the situation on Kalia's side was slightly better than on Puka, they had also encountered attacks from the Locust Fish Swarm.

The cloud islands in the sky were originally barren in resources.

And locust fish, creatures that eat almost anything they see, were almost synonymous with extinction in the sky.

Puka and the surrounding islands had unfortunately encountered attacks from this swarm of fish this year.

And the most tragic part was that Puka, which was originally the wealthiest, had become the main target of the swarm's attack.

Now, the soil that was once considerable on Puka had been almost completely eaten away by the fish swarm.

With a large amount of resources ravaged, Puka naturally fell into an unprecedented famine.

In such a situation, facing starvation, the people on Puka could not simply sit and wait for death.

Albert, the highest authority on Puka, the god, faced the starvation of his people.

In order not to let everyone on Puka perish from hunger.

He used his divine authority to gather all the men capable of fighting on Puka.

For the children, Albert said they were going to request reinforcements.

But the women and children left behind on Puka knew that these men were preparing to wage war for survival.

No one likes senseless slaughter, but facing this moment of life and death.

Almost everyone on Puka was praying in their hearts for their god to return safely.

It had been more than half a month since Albert and his expedition set out.

There had been no news from the front, which was causing the women and children left behind on Puka to gradually fall into despair.

Although bad feelings were slowly growing in their hearts, those on the verge of despair always held a plea for hope within them.

They hoped that the men who went on the expedition would return safely.

And that their spoils of war would allow the already collapsed Puka to prosper once more.

Hunger and bewilderment shrouded the once prosperous Puka Island.

It wasn't just Becky and Emma who lacked strength at this moment; the entire Puka was engulfed in the despair of hunger.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, all that could be seen with the naked eye was the vast, rolling sea of clouds.

When the sun in the sky was replaced by the moon, in the sea of clouds that turned silver under the moonlight, Roy was flying rapidly.

For several hours, Roy had not found any trace of a cloud island.

And his stamina, even with the replenishment from Sea King jerky, had not bottomed out.

But looking at the sea of clouds with no target in sight, a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes.

"Damn it, how can this sea of clouds be so vast! Where is the cloud island I'm looking for?"

With sonic speed flight and the Echo Map, Roy had almost swept the sky above Red Copper Island.

Looking at the moon, which was unobstructed and resembled a disc.

Just as Roy was about to give up, intending to return to replenish his stamina and continue tomorrow.

"Huh, what is that?"

Through the exploration of the Echo Map, a blood-stained spearhead appeared in Roy's line of sight.
