After all, she hadn't even mastered the Observation Haki the Future Sight Haki. It's no exaggeration to say that Naito's strength had already completely surpassed hers.

No, she had already fallen behind when Naito Awakening, and now she could barely see Naito's back anymore.

Ain didn't offer any praise or compliments.

As Naito had previously stated, he was only a short period of training away from Future Sight.

So isn't this normal?

The woman looked at Naito, who had begun practicing Conqueror's Haki again, with an extremely gentle gaze.

Because it's Naito, this is only natural.

This was an unexpected bonus, but it did not change the fleet's current awkward situation.

They were even hesitant to approach the government's Affiliated Nation, instead merely wandering the waters.

At the same time, the pirates subdued by World began to raid the small settlements in this area.

Dozens of islands were attacked in just a few days.

However, apart from a few islands that put up a stubborn resistance, the vast majority of islands experienced no casualties.

The navy had been observing silently, but to their surprise, both Golden Lion and World had vanished without a trace.

Are those two monsters plotting something?

Such speculation has put the Marine Headquarters on edge.

The Marine Guerrilla Unit is rushing towards this area at top speed, accompanied by Admiral Aokiji.

At this very moment, Zeus, moving at full speed, had already crossed the Reverse Mountain and entered the first half of the Grand Line.

Two more days later.

Zeus had arrived above a white ocean high in the sky.

Sky Island, we've arrived.

Chapter 156 Urouge! Enel!

White clouds darted across the sky.

Below this sea of Sea Cloud lies an even more vast, seemingly endless white ocean.

"Sky Island?"

Standing on the edge of the clouds, looking down at the sea of clouds below, Buckingham Stussy sighed with a touch of awe, "I've heard about it before, but this is my first time actually being here!"

How beautiful!

This ocean truly never disappoints; it always offers new scenery and exciting adventures.

Are these all Sea Clouds?

Anthony clicked his tongue in amazement, "This is truly incredible! The scale is just like the vastness and boundlessness of the ocean!"

"Are you spouting nonsense?"

Salt, standing next to him, rolled his eyes. "It's called Sea Cloud, so what's so strange about it being like the ocean?"

"But I really find it hard to believe that there's an island above the clouds."

Anthony pointed ahead.

Not far ahead, on the white sea, a similarly white island floats quietly.

"Oh, this time it's Island Cloud."

"This one is really quite similar to Zeus," said Buckingham with great interest.

Island Cloud and Sea Cloud essentially share the same origin: they are formed when underwater volcanic eruptions eject certain substances from the deep sea into the sky. These substances combine with the clouds, altering their properties.

And so, Island Cloud and Sea Cloud came into being.

"Move closer."

Naito hadn't arrived yet, so Luna was giving orders.

"Understood, Miss Luna!"

Zeus responded joyfully, immediately increasing his speed and heading directly towards the white island in the distance.

Before long, Zeus had led everyone to the skies above the island.

From this angle, you can clearly see the situation on the island.

Most of the buildings are white, with a few coconut trees scattered around, and a few boats moored along the shore.

Because it floats at a relatively low height, even people on the island can see it clearly.

"Yeah?"

Anthony stroked his chin with interest. "These guys have wings on their backs?"

On the island below, the Sky Island residents who were looking up at them all had a pair of small white wings on their backs.

"Idiot, look closer!"

Salt, a close friend, said disdainfully, "Those wings can't move; they're just decorations."

Almost simultaneously, Luna leaped off Zeus's back, spread her wings, and slowly descended towards the island below.

Below, the island's inhabitants all looked up, gazing at the strange white cloud in the sky.

They were discussing it animatedly.

Is it Island Cloud?

"That doesn't make sense, does it? How could Island Cloud move like that?"

"Hey! Someone jumped down!"

"Wait! Look! Her wings!!!"

The island's inhabitants were almost all stunned when they noticed Luna descending from the sky.

"No way! This posture!"

They seemed to know something.

Unfortunately, Luna wasn't very interested in this.

As she slowly descended, flapping her wings, a raging Conqueror's Haki surged down from her body, sweeping across the entire island in an instant.

Large numbers of residents collapsed almost instantly, like wheat being harvested.

Only a few residents with relatively strong willpower were able to withstand such spirit and not give in.

Luna finally landed slowly in front of a muscular man.

This man was quite strong; even when facing Luna's Haki, he only trembled and didn't even kneel down.

According to the conventions of this world, with his strength, he should have some status on this island, and simply asking for directions shouldn't be a problem.

I'll only ask once.

Luna looked at the man calmly, "Where is Birka?"

Luna had no idea what Birka was or what was there.

All she knew was that it was the place Naito Knight was looking for, so she had to find it.

"Oh, am I really not dreaming?"

The man stared at Luna in disbelief. "This posture... So your existence isn't just a legend?"

That's not the answer I wanted to hear.

Luna's eyes were indifferent, but her tone was already somewhat dangerous.

Hahaha! Sorry, sorry!

This seemed to be a very bold and magnanimous man. He showed no anger or panic, but instead grinned broadly. "It's just that seeing someone who should only exist in our legends suddenly appear before us is bound to be a little unbelievable!"

"But,"

He cracked his neck. "Even if you're asking for directions, aren't you being incredibly rude? Look at the state you've made of this island!"

"..."

Luna slightly lifted her eyelids.

The next instant, the heel of the high heel sank directly into the man's chest.

Amidst the cracking sounds of bones breaking, the man's chest caved in from a kick, and he spat out a large amount of blood. His body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through numerous buildings behind him.

"Wow!"

Amidst the ruins, the man dressed like a monk coughed up blood, his face deathly pale. "What a joke, such power... I can't move. Damn, it seems I won't have a chance to activate my abilities. Haha... I guess I should say, worthy of being called a legendary race?"

You have one last chance.

Luna was already standing in front of the man, silently looking down at him.

"I understand, please forgive me, I'll answer honestly,"

The man coughed up blood a few times, then honestly admitted, "Birka, that country has been destroyed."

"What?"

Luna frowned slightly. "Destroyed?"

"Yes, just recently,"

The man, half-dead, said, "It's hard to believe, but the one who destroyed Birka was its ruler, a guy named Enel."

"That man has gone to the God's Domain and seems to have replaced Gan Fall as the ruler of Angel Island and God's Island."

Luna fell silent.

Part of her consciousness entered the Dream World and began communicating with Naito.

They received feedback very quickly.

"The God's Domain?"

Luna looked at the man, "Take us there."

"Ah?"

The man was taken aback. "Do I have to go too?"

"If you refuse, destroy this island."

Luna's words were concise and to the point.

Except in front of Naito, she was a completely emotionless woman; nothing could make her care.

"Then I completely understand."

The man gave a wry smile. "Please let me lead the way."
