"Ha!"
Seeing that the Red-Hair Pirates were about to perish before they even got started, Lucky Roo exhaled and his entire body swelled up, making him look like a small giant. Then, Lucky Roo flexed his muscles, and his skin turned slightly red...
"SHIVERING!"
If you observe with Observation Haki, you'll find that all of Lucky Roo's muscles are twitching at a small, high frequency!
Just like ordinary people, when they are cold, their muscles tremble to generate heat...
Lucky Roo, who was proficient in the Life Return, was now experiencing trembling and heat in his skeletal muscles. The heat was so intense that it generated rolling waves of heat, and if one was not strong enough or was too close, one could even be burned.
If Sig could see this, he would probably understand how the large hole in Bilca came about when Sangchid disappeared!
Because of Griffin's wings, the air expanded and contracted due to heat, creating lift that helped Griffin take off, allowing the Red Force to rise again and reach the height of the Accumulating Emperor Cloud.
However, just as the Red Force was recovering, this Accumulating Emperor Cloud began to drift...
This not only increased the distance between the Red Force, but also allowed the setting sun to gradually shine on Sig below!
As the sunlight swept across the area, the Sig bat swarm scattered, and it seemed that Sig himself was about to be exposed to the sunlight as well.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Sig's pupils contracted as he watched the sunlight spread in.
The swordsman with the Gennosuke raised his scabbard and shouted, "The time has come for us to make our move!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!" Lucky Roo had lost weight.
"Swift Wind Style: Great Whirlwind Slash!" Gennosuke said, striking a pose as if drawing his sword. In the instant he drew his sword, the blade pressed down on the strike, stirring up the wind pressure and creating a whirlwind.
At the same time, under the reaction force, the Red Force suddenly lurched a short distance towards the Accumulating Emperor Cloud...
However, as a result, the sunlight also shifted and swept towards them at a faster speed, causing Sieg to lose its momentum and the Red Force Sig sag.
Fortunately, although we hadn't reached the surface of the White Sea yet, we had reached the Accumulating Emperor Cloud. With this leap, the Red Force plunged into the Accumulating Emperor Cloud, which is the White Sea.
Sig quickly hid under the Accumulating Emperor Cloud, where the sun couldn't reach him, and watched helplessly as the Red Force sank into the White Sea.
Seeing this, Sig flew directly into the bottom of the White Sea and then swam towards the Red Force, but by then Sig was already quite far from the Red Force.
After all, the White Sea is no less deep than the Blue Sea. The Red Force plunged into the halfway point towards the surface, while the Sig entered from the seabed.
When Sig finally surfaced, the Red Force was no longer in sight...
Sig:...
That was so close!
While going to Sky Island is inherently an adventurous undertaking, the Red-Hair Pirates' current strength has managed to make the process incredibly exciting. It has to be said... Shanks has a real talent for being a protagonist!
Sig even wondered if he had prevented Shanks from losing an arm, which was why the Red Force was now under heavier load.
However, upon closer reflection, the near-death experience the Red Force just went far beyond the loss of an arm.
Speaking of arms, Sig looked at his own two arms.
Hmm, I wonder if the next pirate crew would mind if I tattooed their pirate flag on the Red-Hair Pirates' flag...
Of course, before that, Sig decided to search for the Red Force first, just in case it could still be salvaged.
The White Sea was shrouded in mist, and the visible range was not as large as that of the Blue Sea. Sig decided to first find an Island Cloud to break free from the White Sea's limitations.
Not far away, Sig found a cloud he could step on. After leaving the White Sea, Sig calmed himself down and was able to spread his Observation Haki outwards using the magnetic field...
Sig was also puzzled—he should have been heading in the right direction, so why was the Red Force completely nowhere to be found?
Even with Sig's overwhelming Observation Haki, nothing was Oldest One discovered.
Sig sat down quietly, focusing his attention to expand the area further. However, even after Sig's Observation Haki had covered the densely populated Angel Island, he still hadn't found anyone from the Red-Hair Pirates.
Sieg's Observation Haki, which was extending to another area, was then interfered with, and ultimately, there was a large area that Sig could no longer "see".
Magnetic field interference!
Island with a magnetic field can interfere with the Observation Haki that relies on Sig magnetic field, while Sky Island generally do not have a magnetic field.
However, there is one exception – Upper Yard, which is the part of Jaya Island that was washed ashore, as the people of Angel Island call it.
Because it is a landmass that "flew" up from the Blue Sea four hundred years ago, Upper Yard itself has a magnetic field, which can even be Record by pointers.
Of course, Sig's interference wasn't absolute; Sig's Observation Haki still penetrated a certain area within the island and detected the Red Force...
Meanwhile, the poorly concealed "Mantra" also alerted the guards there!
Sig was also curious as to how the Red Force could have ended up so far away.
Having already alerted some people, Sig didn't bother to hide and swam directly towards Upper Yard.
Sure enough, just halfway there, Sky Island Warrior wearing jet boots similar to those of Bilca approached Sig.
"Halt! Who are you?"
"Hmm, it looks like Fish-Man!"
Several Sky Island Warrior nervously surrounded Sig.
Sig's racial characteristics are very obvious... making it easy to draw the Error conclusions!
After all, Sig had previously used the "Mantra" to explore Upper Yard — Upper Yard, as a "land" on the Sky Island, was regarded as a "land of gods" by the Sky Island person there.
Moreover, the Shandorian, who had their homeland taken away, were constantly thinking about reclaiming their land and had been waging a continuous war with the native inhabitants of Angel Island for four hundred years.
Even though they couldn't defeat the Angel Island head-on, the Shandorian continued their guerrilla-style sabotage...
Therefore, the Sky Island Warrior were very wary of Sig's attempt to spy on Upper Yard.
Especially Sig's "Mantra," its scope is far too vast!
"Ah, wasn't there a ship like that that just ran aground on your island?" Sig said, making a bull horn gesture with his hands above his head.
Upon hearing this, the Sky Island Warrior lowered their guard slightly.
Sig then noticed that the Sky Island Warrior here wore berets, not one of the three traditional Sky Island headdresses.
"Those are my companions. How are they? Can you take me to see them?" Sig asked directly after seeing their expressions.
"I see... then come with us for now," the captain said after a slight hesitation.
Sig could tell that although the other party was wary, they had no reason to refuse.
After all, although Upper Yard doesn't welcome people from the Blue Sea, the location isn't secretive, and even without Sig's guidance, he would go there himself.
Furthermore, since he is from Blue Sea person, it at least proves that he is not from Shandorian!
Along the way, Sig learned that the captain of the divine team was named McKinley, and that the current god of Angel Island was none other than Gan Fall...
