Skypiea

The Hell Pirates Luffy to a height of several thousand meters.

Before long, they saw a vast expanse of white clouds overhead.

Unlike the rain clouds that had just passed by, this magnificent cloud formation did not vaporize; it resembled a flowing liquid.

It is located above Blue Sea White Sea, at an altitude of 7,000 meters.

This type of sea cloud is formed by a special kind of keratinous particles with extremely high density, possessing buoyancy equivalent to that of the ocean... It's not that different from the seawater of the Blue Sea, mainly in its shape.

With a bang.

Using his ability to manipulate air currents, Long carried the group without stopping, crashing into the sea of clouds like a cannonball.

Upon entering the 'seawater' of the White Sea, Dom and his companions experienced something quite strange, almost like being submerged in the ocean. However, the 'currents' were relatively calm, and what they saw did not resemble the real seabed. There was no mud or land, nor any aquatic vegetation. Instead, some peculiar creatures swam among the sea clouds.

Each of them was covered by an air shield, so they were not in any danger.

A moment later, after rising a distance through the sea of clouds, the group emerged from the water and hovered high in the sky.

Oboro was flying them too fast.

There was no obstruction as we passed through the White Sea from below.

The gentle sunlight streamed down from above.

Dom and the others looked around, their expressions changing slightly.

If it weren't for Oboro, they probably would never have seen such a scene in their lives.

I never imagined that there would be a 'kingdom' in the sky.

This is a completely different space from the world above the sea below.

Although I had been to the Shiki's territory before, which was also a floating island... the ecology on those islands wasn't anything special.

The situation is different here; many things are beyond our comprehension.

As far as the eye can see, there are only sea clouds... These clouds provide habitats and places for the aquatic creatures of the White Sea to live and swim. However, if it is a human, they will most likely fall from the bottom of the White Sea and land in the Blue Sea, just like the shipwreck that Mont Blanc Cricket and his team salvaged.

Even if sea clouds have 'buoyancy', there is still an upper limit.

Dozens of meters away from them, a red shrimp as big as a mountain poked its head out and stared at them, the group of visiting 'strangers'.

The prawn was moving its pincers, as if it were conveying some kind of message.

Although it couldn't speak, Dom and the others understood its meaning and asked it to follow them.

Seeing that the captain ignored the shrimp, Dom and the others didn't pay any more attention to it.

In addition, these clouds seem to have a real-world-like texture and can be shaped and constructed into different objects.

Because they could all see several huge, spiraling 'rainbow' passages in the distant sky, leading to a 'Heaven's Gate'.

What is called a rainbow is actually just the refraction of water vapor under sunlight; the actual object is still a cloud.

Before they could even take a closer look at and appreciate the scenery of the White Sea, Oboro and his crew soared into the sky once again.

Heading straight to heaven.

Beneath the enormous 'portal' of heaven, there is a miniature toll booth.

Generally speaking, any Blue Sea people who comes to the heavenly kingdom will arrive at the toll station here, which is the entrance to the Skypiea, if they travel along the normal route.

The so-called "normal route" refers to the White Sea creatures, Express Shrimp.

It functions as a means of transportation, bringing guests to this location.

At this moment, the Amazon grandmother, adorned with angel wings and a wrinkled face, emerged from the toll booth in a purple dress. She looked up at the One Piece flying overhead, completely ignoring her, her face expressionless.

She could hear the Express Shrimp tapping its pincers from a distance; it was a signal.

This means... these Blue Sea people attempted to illegally enter.

Just as I expected.

Watching the Blue Sea people fly towards Angel Island, Granny Amazon, who was acting as the monitor, walked back to the pavilion and made a call.

Inform the White Berets on the island that several Blue Sea people have committed crimes.

"These... are the residents of the Skypiea?"

A few minutes later, the six Hell Pirates appeared in the sky above Angel Beach. At that time, some islanders, mostly women and children, were having fun on the beach.

These people also noticed the Blue Sea people standing high in the air.

The children looked curious, while the adults looked terrified.

"Are their wings fake?"

Dorans observed for a few seconds and then laughed.

In addition to the feather-like structures on their backs, these people also have their hair braided into antenna-like shapes.

Oboro's gaze immediately locked onto the towering mountain behind Angel Island, some distance away from here... there were mountains, dense forests, and rivers.

This land did not originally belong to this sky, as it was originally part of Jaya Island. It was washed ashore by ocean currents to the White-White Sea, which the native inhabitants, who had never seen land before, found quite magical and regarded it as the 'Kingdom of God,' which is now Enel's territory.

"You stay here."

Long gave an order and then used his ability to place the five people on the beach.

He flew alone to the God's Island.

While Enel may not be as dangerous as Shiki, the unique nature of his Devil Fruit ability makes it incredibly easy for him to defeat One Piece like Kaka or Dorans. Most importantly, it's the Logia-type Devil Fruit's power: thunder and lightning.

It's too fast...

The reason why Enel is far inferior to Shiki is because the current Enel has a fatal weakness: he doesn't know Haki.

Although he awakened a portion of the Observation Haki known as 'Mantra', it was still very weak.

"Interesting... Look, those single-person speedboats that travel on the sea clouds seem to be propelled by the shells on the side panels." As soon as his feet touched the ground, Dorans stared at the Waver parked next to a resident and exclaimed in amazement.

This was something he had never seen before on the high seas.

"Their houses, public facilities... all seem to be made of clouds... such amazing technology."

Kaka ignored the islanders fleeing in panic and echoed his words.

However, the two men's commotion did not attract any attention from Dom and the other two.

Turning their heads, they saw that the three of them were staring into the distance at the mountain outline of God's Island.

"The captain just said... there's a guy here who claims to be a god."

"Yurivich said coldly."

"To call oneself a god in front of the captain?"

"Hehehe... Our captain is God Slayer."

Dom scoffed.

"So, the captain probably came to Skypiea for this person." This was just Rob Lucci's guess. He actually wanted to go with them, but Oboro had already given the order. "Is there really no need to go?" He looked at Dom.

Do you think something will happen to the captain?

Dom countered with a question.

Upon Rob Lucci remained silent.

"Compared to that god... let's deal with these guys first." Dom said, and the group's eyes focused on one spot. They saw a row of figures lying on the beach not far away, crawling towards their position.

Judging from their clothing, they appear to be guards from Angel Island.

This way of making an entrance is... a bit unusual.

"It's up to you now."

Dom looked at Rob Lucci and the other two.

After saying that, he and Yuri sat down on the soft sand, quietly waiting for Oboro's return.

Seeing Rob Lucci, Lucci remained expressionless and took the lead in walking towards the White Berets.
