The Whereabouts of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! (Please Keep Reading!)

This was...!?

Conqueror's Haki?

Bai Ye sensed an indescribable aura.

He had actually awakened Conqueror's Haki at a time like this.

Though it became commonplace later on, it was still a ticket of admission. Only with Conqueror's Haki could one enter the high-tier powerhouse club. After all, how else could one train Conqueror's Haki infusion without it?

If he could cultivate it to Red-Hair's level later on, he could make Ryokugyu the disgrace of all Admirals from eight hundred miles away.

[Pirate - Aida D. Byakuya] (Affiliation: Rocks Pirates)

[Strength]: Vice Admiral level

[Abilities]: Intermediate Observation Haki, Intermediate Armament Haki, Beginner Conqueror's Haki, Swordsman's Iron Cutting.

His strength had risen from Rear Admiral to Vice Admiral?!

Bai Ye's strength had originally been stuck at the peak of Rear Admiral. Awakening Conqueror's Haki was not merely a matter of spirit; Armament Haki enhanced by Conqueror's Haki was on an entirely different level in terms of power.

And while Tree Climbing, he felt that his physique had also received considerable tempering.

Hokage Byakuya: [Not bad, man. You even awakened Conqueror's Haki!]

Yokai Byakuya: [I knew you could do it. Actually, even if you had fallen just now, it would have been fine. You could've just used my ability to fly down.]

Pirate Byakuya: [Fuck, I forgot.]

He had genuinely forgotten. This guy seemed to be able to fly.

Still, it was fortunate that he had forgotten. Otherwise, awakening Conqueror's Haki might have been delayed—or perhaps he might never have awakened it at all.

Looking at the final five hundred meters ahead, Bai Ye felt invigorated from head to toe. In one burst of effort, he climbed directly onto the White-White Sea.

"An illegal intruder?"

"This guy seems to have climbed up here."

The moment Bai Ye landed on the island, he was surrounded by a group of Sky Island soldiers.

Different Sky Islands had different policies toward people who came up from the Blue Sea.

For example, the Sky Island ruled by Enel in the original story was not particularly friendly toward people from below because of Enel's policies—unless they paid, of course.

"Where is Birka?"

"?"

Come on, man?

Had he not heard what they were saying?

One of the soldiers was about to say something when an older soldier beside him hurriedly pulled him back and signaled with his eyes not to act rashly.

This guy had fucking climbed up here!

And without exception, anyone who climbed up from below was an expert.

They could not afford to offend him. Compared to those who used clever tricks to get up here, the people of Sky Island naturally understood how to deal with someone who had climbed all the way up from below.

"Birka isn't far from here. If you want to go there, we can take you, but you'll need to pay a transportation fee."

The older soldier looked at Bai Ye nervously. The Sky Islands all knew one another's locations and how to travel between them.

Taking money to do a job was normal, but some people did not want to pay while still demanding service. He was afraid Bai Ye might be one of those people. If the other party refused, he would first test his strength. If he was powerful, then he would immediately back down and lead the way.

He had spent so many years on Sky Island and lived so comfortably by being disloyal, cowardly, and having a big sister-in-law.

"Sure. As long as you take me to Birka!"

Bai Ye had plenty of money. As long as they could take him to Birka, he would give them all of it.

Right now, there was only one thought in his mind: obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, the older soldier immediately relaxed. The younger soldier's expression also shifted from displeasure to amiability.

After taking out some gold, Bai Ye acquired a Wind-Pressure Shell-powered boat and a pointer to Birka from the soldiers.

He headed toward Birka, and before long, he arrived there. But once he reached Birka, Bai Ye ran into a problem.

He did not know where Enel had found it.

And Enel had not even been born yet.

Naturally, he could not use the method of following Enel to find the fruit.

After searching the island for about seven days, Bai Ye still found nothing. At the same time, he began to wonder whether his guess had been wrong. Had the Rumble-Rumble Fruit not appeared yet?

Hokage Byakuya: [Why don't you search places with fewer people? I remember Enel was ostracized in Birka, so like Naruto, he probably spent most of his time alone in the forest looking for food. Maybe he found the fruit somewhere secluded.]

Zombie Byakuya: [Logically, it should be somewhere like an altar or some other place. It's probably not somewhere crowded. Try places few people visit, or ask around whether there are any gods here that require worship. That could work too!]

The other Bai Yes in the Chat Group also began offering him advice.

Logically speaking, Enel could only have obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in two ways. One was by finding it in the forest. Since Enel himself had no wings and was ostracized on Sky Island, he naturally had to search the forest for food himself if he wanted to eat.

The other possibility was some altar or place of worship. Enel might have been starving and gone there to steal food, only to discover that it was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Pirate Byakuya: [I've fucking been treated like an outsider these past few days. Like hell they'd tell me. Wait, I have the Sharingan!]

Bai Ye suddenly thought of something. He could completely use the Sharingan to hypnotize a Sky Islander and question them.

He casually grabbed an older Birkian, hypnotized him with the Sharingan, and gently guided him with a question. "Do you have any altars for sacrifices here, or places that require rituals?"

After speaking, he paused and looked at the bewildered old man before him. Then, as if remembering something, the man slowly said, "A long time ago, Birka had living human sacrifice rituals. But because everyone opposed them, the High Priest and the others were executed. Yet when they were executed, Birka seemed to crack apart, and the altar collapsed. That was divine punishment. Since then, Birkans have not dared to mention anything related to the High Priest."

Just as he thought!!

After hearing those words, Bai Ye had a powerful premonition.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit had to be here!

The altar had collapsed and sunk underground, and the Birkans did not dare speak of it anymore. Perhaps Enel had heard this legend.

Because he had been ostracized, he might have gone looking for that altar with the intention of destroying everything together. Then, he found the Rumble-Rumble Fruit inside!

"The location!!"

Bai Ye stared at the old man with blazing eyes. After the man answered, Bai Ye turned and left at once.

The old man, freed from the Sharingan's control, looked around in confusion and thought it strange. He seemed to have said something important just now.
