Sky-Rending Current

At this moment, the five pirate ships had been sucked into the huge whirlpool, a scene that was witnessed by many people.

"What's going on? The Night Pirates have been waiting for this for so long, just to see this giant whirlpool?" Watching the Night Pirates sail their ship into the whirlpool, everyone felt like their brains were about to explode.

However, they didn't mock the Night Pirates. The two were on completely different levels, so how could they know what the Night Pirates were thinking? They just needed to observe quietly.

The vortex kept expanding until it finally took shape.

Suddenly, the sea calmed down, and the whirlpool mysteriously disappeared.

"What happened? The vortex is gone?" someone asked, puzzled.

"The whirlpool has sunk into the sea. Everyone be careful and don't let your guard down," Wallace said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, the area where the whirlpool had been suddenly raised rapidly, as if a large mound had risen in the sea. As the sea rose, all five pirate ships ascended.

People far away could see this scene; the Reporter Bird in the sky kept taking photos and videos. Since it involved the Night Pirates, this was definitely Big News Morgans.

"Hey! What are they trying to do? The Sky-Rending Current!" A local pirate from Magu Town exclaimed, his eyes wide.

The locals were well aware of the power of the Sky-Rending Current. Once hit by Sky-Rending Current, most pirate ships would be destroyed and their crews would perish, with only a very few surviving. It was extremely dangerous.

In addition, the Sky-Rending Current are unpredictable, and once you are sucked into the whirlpool, you cannot escape. Locals rarely go to the area where the Sky-Rending Current frequently appear.

Aside from the pirates who were unaware of the local situation, no one else was so kind as to warn these foreign pirates. They even regarded it as a joke, how ridiculous it was that some powerful pirate crews were destroyed by the Knock Up Stream.

"Hold on tight, everyone! The Sky-Rending Current is coming soon, don't get swept away!" Teach shouted, his voice carrying across all the pirate ships via the loudspeaker.

Hearing this, the others also prepared themselves. On the five warships, sturdy ropes were intertwined to form a net, and all the crew members held on tightly to these ropes. Teach had warned them that one wrong move could send them plummeting from thousands of meters in the air.

Although they believed the strong people on the ship could save them, they didn't want to try such an experience, not to mention the possibility of being ridiculed by their companions.

One of the users of the Rope-Rope Fruit on the ship created ropes, and feeling that this wasn't secure enough, he connected the bodies of all the crew members on the pirate ship together with ropes. Furthermore, he created a large net made of ropes to hold the entire Dragon Bone and masts of the pirate ship together. Even if someone let go, they wouldn't fly out but would be caught by the net.

"Raise the sails, helmsmen hold on tight! The surging current is still the sea, don't veer off course!"

"Yes, Captain."

"Haha, just you wait, Black Cloud!" Teach sensed the intense energy emanating from the seabed and knew it was about to begin. With a wave of his hand, wisps of black energy spread outwards, clinging to the hulls of the five pirate ships like clouds.

This also protects the ship's hull, since the impact of the Sky-Rending Current is extremely powerful and can cause some damage to the hull.

Meanwhile, Teach controls a black cloud that links the five pirate ships together to prevent any of them from going out of control. By using gravity in conjunction with the black cloud, he can also control the pirate ships' navigation to a certain extent.

Even though Teach was very confident, this was his first time experiencing it, and he needed to be fully prepared.

"It's coming!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar erupted, the bulging sea surface burst open, and a towering column of water shot straight into the sky. The five pirate ships were thus sailing vertically on the Sky-Rending Current.

The towering water column caused the nearby sea to Sky-Rending Current and nearly capsize many ships.

But they all watched this scene in shock. That conspicuous black aura was the power of "Dark Emperor" Teach, and the Night Pirates' ships rose straight into the air, sailing along the ocean current towards the sky.

Although they were far away, they could still see some things, and even so, they could not suppress the shock in their hearts.

The Sky-Rending Current are usually unpredictable; this is the first time someone has ridden the current into the air like this, under the watchful eyes of so many people.

Such a spectacular sight: five pirate ships linked together, their sails hoisted, rising steadily into the air, gradually shrinking until they became just a few black dots.

On Night Pirates, "Hahaha! We'll be at Sky Island soon!" The strong winds generated by the impact propelled the Night Pirates' ship forward.

Many members clung tightly to ropes, Dragon Bone, or other objects, while the stronger members stood steadily on the boat. Pito stood curiously on the boat, looking down at the direction of the sea.

"Hey, what's that?"

It rises continuously, above the Sky-Rending Current, while things fall continuously, constantly getting closer.

"It's the wreckage of a ship, and Sea King too. They must have been swept in by a whirlpool in the sea." Lafitte felt the strong wind blowing in his face, grabbed his hat to keep it from being blown away, and then stood on the wall of what used to be the pirate ship, smiling faintly.

The crew members of the Night Pirates weren't nervous at all; this little thing posed no threat to them. Although most of the crew members couldn't fight back, the officers could easily handle it.

"Leave it to me. There's so much stuff, it's a bit of a hassle." Rediat smiled and volunteered.

Rediat leaped lightly off the pirate ship, his body continuing to rise into the air due to inertia.

The next moment, Rediat completely transformed into a black dragon, flapping its wings and rapidly ascending into the air, instantly surpassing the rising pirate ship.

Faced with the debris, wreckage, fish, and even Sea King falling from the sky and being swept into the whirlpool.

Rediat raised his head, facing the sky, and shouted, "Dragon's Breath!"

With its mouth agape, a terrifying black beam of light shot straight into the sky. Without touching the gushing estuary, anything above the pirate ship that might have been affected was instantly cleared away by Rediat's terrifying Dragon Breath, creating a "clean" passage.

Then, Rediat returned to his original form and went back to the ship, thus completing the cleanup.

The beam of light was noticeable to anyone observing, but as the Night Pirates took off, their ships became invisible to them.

We can only wait until the footage is played. Given the capabilities of the World Economic News, they must have already captured firsthand footage. Although the News Bird may not be able to fly that high, it can still capture clearer images.

They all understood that the Night Pirates' goal was the sky—the top of those thick clouds. But where was that place?

Many people couldn't help but recall the legend of the Sky Island. Some, upon thinking of this, had their pupils shrink in disbelief, wondering, "Could it be that the legendary Sky Island really exist?"

The news spread quickly, especially in Magu Town, where rumors about the Sky Island circulated, and it had a great impact on them.

Before this, they had always considered the existence of Sky Island a joke.

Although there is no concrete evidence, what else could the Night Pirates' target be but Sky Island?

It's just a matter of their limited knowledge. In other parts of the world, there are already passages to the Sky Island, known as "high-speed air routes." This method is simpler and safer than the Sky-Rending Current, connecting the ocean to the Sky Island. The Red Line is as high as 10,000 meters, and the most precious material for building pirate ships is the Treasure Tree Adam.

A single branch of the Treasure Tree Adam can be used to build a ship, which gives you an idea of just how big the Treasure Tree Adam must be—over 10,000 meters tall, or even taller. And to obtain a branch of the Treasure Tree Adam, one would naturally have to go through the Sky Island.

Even so, originally only a small number of people knew about Sky Island, but now, almost everyone knows about it.

Besides plundering, pirates are generally very adventurous. After learning about the Sky Island, they couldn't help but be curious: what exactly is on those Sky Island?

They also considered going to Sky Island, but they would have to wait until the Night Pirates returned. Moreover, by watching how the Night Pirates landed on Sky Island, they knew that this method was still very risky.

The Accumulated Emperor Cloud overhead were clearly visible and getting closer; just looking at them, one could feel their immense weight.

Finally, propelled by the Sky-Rending Current, the five pirate ships plunged into the clouds of Accumulated Emperor Cloud.

The Sky-Rending Current had ceased; relying on inertia and upward momentum, the five pirate ships flew into the air, reaching their highest point. Accompanied by a cry of alarm, they then rapidly plummeted downwards, landing above the clouds.

Some members were panting heavily, still shaken. Taking off like this was incredibly thrilling. It took them a long time to recover and have time to observe their surroundings.

Everything was a vast expanse of white, with clouds everywhere, both overhead and below the boat.

"This is Sky Island!" Some members stared wide-eyed at everything around them. Clouds were everywhere, and their ship was actually hovering above the clouds.

"No, this is the White Sea, located at an altitude of seven thousand meters. It's a sea of clouds made up of clouds. The real Sky Island is at an altitude of ten thousand meters. We'll be going to the Gate of Heaven later; that's the entrance to the real Sky Island." Teach said with a faint smile, "I've already found it, but we need to get used to it first. The air here is a bit thin, which will affect our ability to move."

As Teach said, it wasn't long before some members started to feel unwell, given the thin air.

However, they were all trained and far more capable than ordinary people, so they quickly adapted to the air, and the negative effects were only temporary.

Within minutes, the crew members had basically gotten used to it, and for the officers, these powerful crew members, it had no impact whatsoever.

Suddenly, the sea of clouds churned, and a huge creature emerged from beneath it—a giant crab.

"Is that Sea King?" a crew member asked, looking at the giant crab emerging from the clouds. "It actually came out of the clouds."

You know, below the clouds are the high sky and the ocean, so how do they live in the clouds?

"It should be Sky Fish. Through special evolution, it can survive in the clouds," said Xiouyapufu, looking at the giant crab. Before coming to Sky Island, they had learned some things about Sky Island.

The crab stared at the five pirate ships below, swung its giant pincers, and powerfully swung them at Teach.

Faced with this attack, Lafitte made a move in an instant, appearing in front of Cancer. With a flash of sword light, Cancer's entire body was split in two, and then slowly sank into the sea of clouds.

Using her Observation Haki, Teach had found the passage to the Sky Island, a huge waterfall that was clearly visible.

Soon, they arrived in front of the waterfall, which, like Knock Up Stream, connects to the White Sea more than 10,000 meters above sea level. At the bottom of the waterfall, there is a gate with the four large characters "Gate of Heaven" written on it.

Five enormous pirate ships entered through the gate. "This is the passage to the real Sky Island."

At that moment, an old woman, about fifty years old, with a pair of small white wings on her back, walked out of a room inside the door.

Holding a camera, she took pictures of Teach and his crew, but looking at the five enormous pirate ships and the thousands of pirates on board, her expression became somewhat serious.

"I am the overseer of the Gate of Heaven, named Amazon. If you want to go up the waterfall, each person must pay one billion Extol. This is the law." The old man said calmly to Teach and the others, but the powerful figures present could all see that although the old man appeared very calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous inside.

She also knew that the Blue Sea People who came to the Sky Island this time were definitely not good people.

"One billion Extol is equivalent to one hundred thousand Beli. If there are more than a thousand of us, we will have to pay about one hundred and twenty million Beli." Rediat smiled faintly, did the calculation, and then said it.

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

The other members couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"We're pirates, how dare you expect us to obey your laws?"

"That's a joke!"

Even Teach couldn't help but laugh. Normal transactions and buying and selling are one thing, but this is the first time someone has dared to charge the Night Pirates a toll.

"I'm very sorry, but you've seen my crew's attitude. They won't pay a single Beli. Just let us go up. It doesn't matter if you notify your god. This has nothing to do with you." Teach looked at the frail old man. "If you don't want to die."

Her words carried a faint, chilling murderous intent. Teach had no intention of bullying the old woman; it was merely a threat. If she didn't know what was good for her, it wouldn't be a threat anymore.

"Okay, okay." At that moment, the old man felt a bone-chilling cold in his body, and was filled with fear as Teach stared at him. He couldn't help but nod.

She understood Teach's attitude. She didn't want to die either. These thugs were not to be trifled with. It was better to leave them to the Sky Island Police.
