After returning to the warship, Zephyr stood motionless at the bow, staring at the sea ahead with a somewhat unfocused look, lost in thought.
He ignored Rebecca's greeting earlier. Rebecca went to the deck and watched Zephyr for a while before giving up. She pulled Barnett and Frodeku out of the crowd and put them aside.
Barnett and Frodeku teamed up to fight Shanks ' crew, and the results were quite good. With the help of Future Sight, Barnett had the upper hand.
The sudden onslaught of Conqueror's Haki was too intense; the two could not withstand it and both fainted. This was the first time they had experienced an aggressive Conqueror's Haki attack.
Barnett had experienced Sengoku's Conqueror's Haki before, but Sengoku hadn't attacked them then. This time, however, he faced it directly and collapsed on the spot.
Rebecca slapped both of them twice on the face to wake them up. The two still had frightened expressions on their faces and were a little cold. It took them a while to fully recover. Afterwards, with the friendly help of the two (Big Dumpling), the other students woke up one after another.
Afterwards, Zephyr didn't blame anyone, including Rebecca. Without Vic's involvement, it would have been difficult for the Recruit Camp camp and Zephyr to take down the Red Hair Pirates. Zephyr only realized this after fighting Shanks. Shanks ' progress was equally astonishing. Everyone was right in this operation.
Afterwards, the Recruit Camp returned to its training schedule, but this time they set off from Twin Cape to venture deeper into the Grand Line. This time, they didn't encounter as many pirate ships, since they were all heading in the same direction.
Two weeks later, the warships finally arrived at Drum Island. During this time, Wendy would come to the riverbank of the island every day to wait for the warships.
Because she noticed that the location on the Vivre Card Vic had given her changed slightly every day, she knew the warship was not far away.
On this day, Wendy finally waited on the shore for the warship to dock. In Rebecca's warm embrace, Wendy felt as if her life during this period of time had been a different world.
After greeting the others, Wendy returned to Kureha's cabin to say goodbye to the two old people. Then she went straight back to the warship, as there was no need to stay there any longer. She was going to continue her journey to become stronger.
Wendy returned safely to the warship, and Zephyr didn't linger on Drum Island, as there wasn't much to buy there.
Rebecca and the others were overjoyed to see Wendy recover, as it was a terminal illness! Vic had kept his promise to them, but they didn't see him. After Vic 'Wendy explanation, they felt a little disappointed, as if something was missing!
Zephyr didn't say anything when Wendy said that Vic was going to find a harsh environment to train. People at Vic's level can't improve through ordinary training; many of them advance through combat.
Vic's safety is also perfectly fine. Zephyr is just curious why Vic so eager to become stronger. Wendy didn't tell him the real reason, but now that Vic has decided to help her, she doesn't need to say it anymore.
She would discuss these matters with Rebecca and the others in detail later. This was also what Vic had warned her before he left: pressure is a driving force, and they all needed to take things more seriously.
While Zephyr and the others were picking up Wendy, Vic and Xiaobai were also approaching Jaya Island. Vic smiled as he looked at the Log Pose, which was almost vertical. It had taken him nearly a month to get here, during which he had wiped out several ungrateful pirate crews.
Looking at the solidified clouds in the sky, Vic's lips curled into a smile, and the light in his eyes shone like stars under the Cumuloregalis Cloud.
"Is this the five-thousand-year-old Cumuloregalis Cloud? It is indeed magnificent. The Sky Island is right above it!" Vic stood at the bow of the somewhat damaged small boat, looking up at the clouds that seemed to be pressing down on him, and murmured softly.
Xiaobai floated in front of the small boat, looking at the sky with fear, its body trembling.
This celestial phenomenon reminded it of the time Vic was struck by lightning; was it going to happen again?
It felt that ever since it met Vic, it had been incredibly unlucky. It was either constantly pulling the boat or living in fear. If it weren't for Vic saving its life and providing it with delicious food, it would have already gone on a solo journey.
" Xiaobai! Can you sense any nearby islands? We're about to land on one." Vic stopped watching, because the giant winged humanoid projection hadn't appeared.
Xiaobai let out a cry in response, which was also one of Xiaobai racial talents. It could sense the strong and unusual magnetic field of the island, which was like a biological Log Pose for people at sea. Moreover, it could also pull boats. If anyone knew about its navigation function, they would definitely not let it go.
Despite its fear of the sky, Xiaobai swam towards the island it sensed. Its direction was Jaya Island, the only island in the vicinity. Moreover, the island was inhabited by South Bird that could sense the general direction of a planet's magnetic field, a unique talent indeed.
Vic isn't going to use Geppo to ascend to the sky as soon as he arrives on Jaya Island. While that would get him to the Sky Island, it would be too physically demanding. Although he had tried climbing the Red Line before, he only succeeded because of a last-minute breakthrough. There's no need to force it on Jaya Island.
There are many Knock Up Stream on Jaya Island, and when the currents surge upwards, strong upward winds are formed around them. If you use Geppo to ride these strong winds, you will save a lot of energy. This is Vic's plan.
Moreover, after a month at sea, he had almost exhausted all the supplies he needed for living in his Alternate Dimensional Space.
The Sky Island directly above Jaya Island is relatively easy to understand, as Vic is quite familiar with it. However, Enel's hometown, Birka, is not specifically described in the original work.
In addition, finding the Rumble-Rumble Fruit would take an unknown amount of time in the sky, so some supplies on the ground were also essential. Vic planned to go to Mock Town for a major shopping spree before waiting for the Knock Up Stream to appear.
Xiaobai was very fast, and Vic soon spotted the island. Vic didn't let Xiaobai get too close. After taking the small boat off Xiaobai, he let Xiaobai dive into the sea. After all, Mock Town on Jaya Island was a gathering place for pirates, and there were quite a few pirates who wanted to eat sea monster meat.
After stowing away his small boat, Vic used Geppo to fly over Jaya Island. Looking at the two rows of islands that resembled skull teeth, Vic marveled at the power of the Knock Up Stream!
It's incredible that this ocean current could lift most of an island tens of thousands of meters into the air! It could launch a rocket! If it hadn't been directly beneath the island, the current might have even reached outer space, and with a better angle, it might have even reached the moon.
After a moment of reflection Vic landed in a deserted area on the edge of the island. Apart from the Mock Town, the island was mostly deserted, with vast forests and leisurely wild animals.
