Accumulated Emperor Clouds, Grand Line are clouds that accumulate at high altitudes. No matter how thick they are, they will not produce airflow or rain.
These clouds contain water with an astonishing density, which when put together form White Sea around Skypiea, can even produce astonishing buoyancy as the sea.
When the ship passed through the thick Accumulated Emperor Clouds, it saw an incredible and magnificent scenery.
At the end of the clouds, a golden sun slowly rose, blooming with dazzling light, dyeing everything in sight golden.
"Oh - my God! This... is this the sea of clouds in Skypiea?!!"
Ace endured the terrible feeling of losing strength all over his body and stood up from the deck holding on to the guardrail. He opened his eyes wide and tried to imprint this scene firmly in his mind.
Not only him, Ike also had a similar reaction, with a shocked expression on his face.
On the contrary, Robin, who is good at observing, noticed that his boss did not lose strength like other Devil Fruit userss on the ship, but still stood motionless on the bow.
Make no mistake, this is absolutely not normal.
However, she didn't say anything, she just kept it in mind to ask in private when she found the opportunity.
After all, there is Ace, an outsider borrowed from Whitebeard Pirates, on board at the moment, and it is not suitable to talk about something involving privacy and secrets.
"Yes! It is indeed a rare and magnificent scenery. In addition, I suggest you get used to the thin air environment here quickly, otherwise you may suffer big losses if a battle breaks out." Allen reminded casually.
If there is anything that is most troublesome about Skypiea, it is the relatively thin air, or relatively thin oxygen.
As we all know, the human body obtains energy by absorbing oxygen to decompose organic matter, mainly glucose.
Therefore, when the oxygen intake is insufficient, the whole person will involuntarily have altitude sickness, resulting in a lack of strength all over the body, and more serious symptoms such as dizziness and nausea.
Although people in this world have extremely strong vitality and physical fitness, and generally speaking they will not suffer too much discomfort due to environmental factors, fatigue is definitely inevitable.
"Damn it! If you didn't tell me, I would have thought it was the aftereffects of being soaked in those sea of clouds just now." Ace was the first to react and began to take in big gulps of air, trying to quickly adapt his lungs to the new environment.
You must know that humans are already quite susceptible to altitude sickness at an altitude of about 4,000 meters, not to mention that this is White Sea with an altitude of 7,000 to 10,000 meters.
Similarly, Robin stood up holding on to the mast and gently rubbed his slightly swollen head.
Just when everyone was busy adapting to the oxygen-deficient environment at high altitude, a black spot suddenly appeared in the sky not far away and flew towards this direction at an extremely fast speed.
When the distance reached a certain level, it was vaguely visible that it was an old man wearing armor and holding a spear, riding on a strange pink bird with a dot.
After flying above the ship's mast, the strange bird changed its shape and turned into its extremely ugly Pegasus shape. It assumed a pose that it thought was handsome, but in reality it was so ugly that it made people want to vomit.
You don't need to ask to know that this combination is Skypiea's predecessor, Shengan Fule, and his mount, Pierre who ate Horse-Horse Fruit.
"Enemy?!" Ike subconsciously clenched his fists in preparation for an attack.
But Allen gave him a calm look, then smiled and said hello, "Good day, elder Skypiea, what is the purpose of your visit to our ship?"
"Hello, humans from the Blue Sea, I just accidentally discovered your arrival, so I came over to take a look." Gan Fore also showed a friendly smile.
"Just for a look?" Allen asked meaningfully.
Gan Ful nodded slightly. "Yes, just to take a look, and by the way, I would like to remind you that it is best not to cause trouble. Because the temper of the god Skypiea is not very good now. Once he angers him, your lives will be in danger."
Regarding the old man's advice, Allen didn't take it to heart at all, and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Don't worry, the reason why we came to Skypiea is to solve this problem. If you don't mind, can you give us some direction?"
"Are you here to cause trouble for Enel?" Gan Fore's pupils dilated instantly.
As the god of Skypiea's predecessor, he is obviously not as ignorant as ordinary people, and he understands how many terrifying strong men there are in the Blue Sea below.
"You can say that. I am very interested in Enel and the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit he took. And I promise that I will never have any ill thoughts about Skypiea. As long as Enel is solved, we will leave immediately." Allen promised straightforwardly.
"Just for Enel?" Gan Fore's eyes flashed with strong doubts.
Obviously, he didn't trust the other party, and even thought that after defeating Enel, the group in front of him would take his place and continue to occupy that land and dominate.
"Just for Enel!" Allen emphasized firmly.
To be honest, he was not interested at all in a remote place like Skypiea, a place without much population and resources. At best, he would take some local specialties with him when he left, namely those shells with strange abilities.
"In that case, let me help you. Come with me. I believe you must not have used the Skypiea thin air now. Why not come to my house to eat something and take a good rest."
Having said that, Gan Fore rode Pierre to lead the way in the sky, while Allen allowed the ship to escape the influence of gravity again and followed behind at extremely fast speeds.
After a while, they came to a place that was barely considered land.
It's just that this "land" needs to be enclosed in quotation marks.
In fact, it is made up of a pair of special clouds, which give people a soft feeling when stepping on them.
As the host, Gan Fall cooked a table of simple meals for several guests, and then began to talk about things related to Enel.
Especially after this guy obtained Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he actually destroyed his own Hometown Bika with his own hands, and implemented an extremely cruel rule over the entire Skypiea.
No matter who it is, as long as it offends the rules set by God, or secretly speaks ill of God in private, Lightning Punishment will fall from the sky immediately.
"That is to say... this guy's Observation Haki covers the entire Skypiea?!" Ace opened his mouth in surprise.
This was the first time he heard that someone's Observation Haki could cover such a large area!
Even Whitebeard, who is known as the strongest man in the world and has trained both Observation Haki and Armament Haki to the extreme, can't do it.
"I think it has something to do with Rumble-Rumble Fruit." Robin carefully stated his speculation.
"Even if it has something to do with Rumble-Rumble Fruit, this is a bit too shocking. Allen, can you leave this guy to me?" Ace enthusiastically took the initiative to challenge.
"Sorry, this really doesn't work. Because I want to confirm whether he is qualified to be a partner. If so, I have to defeat him personally." Allen refused the request without hesitation.
