"rise!"

"crash"

The ship slowly rose as if being pulled up by something, and in the blink of an eye it left the sea and continued to rise.

"It's flying!!" Even though everyone had expected it, they were still shocked, especially the Empress's two younger sisters, who exclaimed in surprise.

Only Hancock seemed to take it all for granted. In her mind, it was normal for Yi Shuihan to use even more astonishing methods. She would only feel proud, because this was the man she had her eye on.

How exactly did Yi Shuihan manage to do it? It's quite simple: he used the gravity field attached to his natural domineering aura to alter the ship's gravity.

Speaking of which, when he fought Whitebeard, his gravity field could only increase, not decrease, but it has improved considerably over the years.

Before consuming dragon blood, Yi Shuihan wouldn't have done this, because changing the gravity of a ship is no easy task for him and is extremely physically demanding. However, Yi Shuihan is now fully capable of sustaining this effort, and since reaching the Sky Island wouldn't take long, he chose to use this method.

The ship slowly rose into the air, very smoothly. Compared to the upwelling currents that Luffy and his crew experienced, it was less thrilling, but much safer.

In less than half an hour, the ship reached an altitude of 7000 meters and arrived above the White Sea.

The ship rested on the clouds, surrounded by an endless expanse of white. Here, there was no sound of waves, and the solitude created a sense of loneliness.

"What's wrong with you two?" Hancock suddenly shouted. Her two sisters had turned pale, were sweating, and looked to be in great pain.

Upon seeing this, Yi Shuihan quickly realized what was happening and said, "It's because it's so high up and the air is so thin that it's hard to get used to it right away. It's normal. You'll be fine in a bit."

Hearing this, the others agreed and felt relieved. Hancock, in particular, visibly breathed a sigh of relief, showing that she still cared deeply for her sister.

In fact, the reason why everyone else was unharmed, apart from Hancock's two sisters, was entirely due to their strength. They were all incredibly powerful, at least at the Iron Seven Star level, and adapted to this harsh environment very quickly, to the point that they didn't even realize they had adapted before it was over.

Chapter 172, You're actually a musician?

Hancock's two sisters, being Amazon warriors themselves, were quite strong. They quickly recovered and no longer felt short of breath. Although they were still somewhat unaccustomed to it and might not be able to fight at full strength, it was still not a problem.

In actual combat, there are very few places where they can be used, but that's not a problem. Any one of the other people on the ship can roam freely on the Sky Island. Although Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit is powerful and his strength is at the Admiral level, he can only kneel down in the face of Yi Shuihan and the others.

"Let's go! Let's get to Sky Island first. This is just a transit point."

That's what they said, but Yi Shuihan was a little lost, not knowing which way to go, as he couldn't see the gates of heaven!

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Robin noticed that Yi Shuihan hadn't made a move for a long time and asked.

"Uh, well..." Yi Shuihan was a little embarrassed. "I don't know the direction yet. How about this, I'll go and look around first."

At Yi Shuihan's speed, even if he went the wrong way, he could quickly return. If he looked around with the ship as the center, he could find the Gate of Heaven very quickly. After all, it wasn't too far away to begin with, and if he knew the direction, it would probably only be a half-hour voyage by boat.

Without hesitation, Yi Shuihan vanished from the boat in a flash, leaving the women looking at each other in bewilderment.

Two minutes later, Yi Shuihan looked at the iconic building in front of him and couldn't help but smile. "Good luck, the first direction was right."

"Are you going up?" The speaker was an old woman who was only about 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall and had almost all her teeth missing. What was particularly eye-catching was the pair of small white wings behind her.

Is it the old woman who guards the island? Information about going to the Sky Island automatically surfaced in Yi Shuihan's mind. There are two ways to get to the Sky Island: war and sightseeing. War is free of charge, while sightseeing requires a fee of 10 billion Ike, and it's 10 billion per person.

It seems like 1 billion is a lot, but since it's 10,000 Ike for every 1 Beli, it's actually not expensive.

In the original story, Luffy and his crew were so intimidated by the 10 billion that they didn't ask how much it was in Berries. Plus, the old woman said they didn't have to pay, so they illegally entered the country, which led to them being chased by the White Beret and triggering a series of subsequent events.

Speaking of the old woman guarding the island, Yi Shuihan also had his opinions. In the original work, it was not mentioned that not paying the fee was against the law. Entering the island without paying the fee was considered illegal and required paying 10 times the entry fee to be considered a normal entry.

Every person who goes up from here is photographed and documented by the old woman. Yi Shuihan even suspects that the old woman is deliberately not explaining the consequences of not paying in order to make more money.

Well, all that's said is actually irrelevant to Yi Shuihan. He doesn't intend to pay any money and simply tells the old woman, "We're here for war. You can inform your god and tell him to give up resistance."

After saying that, Yi Shuihan disappeared, preparing to go back and sail back.

As for the old woman being a bit dumbfounded by Yi Shuihan's words, she had been guarding the island for so long and had encountered people who shamelessly claimed to be coming to wage war, but those people all died on the sky island in the end.

This time, Yi Shuihan gave her a bad feeling because Yi Shuihan mentioned God, which meant that the other party knew about Enel. Even so, he still said that he came to fight. His nonchalant attitude, coupled with his complete disappearance at the end, made her feel that this time might be different from the past.

Soon, Yi Shuihan reappeared. When the old woman saw Hancock, Robin, and the succubus beside Yi Shuihan, she was also extremely amazed.

After taking out her camera and photographing Yi Shuihan and his group, the old woman asked, "Are you sure? You've come here for war?"

"Good, hurry up and let us through." Yi Shuihan said impatiently. The old woman waved her hand, and a huge crab appeared under the boat. Then, it used its two crab legs to grab the boat and carried it at high speed towards the sky island.

"What was that war that person was talking about?" the succubus asked, blinking her eyes.

"Oh, you mean that! There are two identities up there: one is war, which doesn't require payment, and the other is tourist, which requires payment. I chose war." Yi Shuihan spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, looking nothing like a naval admiral representing justice.

Of course, the succubus was just asking, and after understanding the cause and effect, she didn't have any particular thoughts. In her opinion, it was just a small matter and she didn't think it would have any impact on them.

The crabs were quite fast, and a few minutes later, Yi Shuihan's boat finally stopped near the beach of the Sky Island.

"Is this the Sky Island? Wow, it's so beautiful."

At first glance, you can see a small town that looks like a fairyland. White is the main color here, but you can also occasionally see some green trees.

A melodious harp tune drifted from not far from the beach, attracting everyone's attention. Looking into the distance, they saw a strikingly beautiful blonde girl with her eyes closed, playing the harp with abandon, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty.

"It suddenly feels like a musician is missing from the ship!" Yi Shuihan remarked.

"Actually, I'm a musician, didn't you know?" the succubus suddenly said, leaving Yi Shuihan stunned.

"You're a musician? You're not kidding me?" He looked incredulous.

"Of course, speaking of music, I'm proficient in violin and piano, but my best instrument is the xiao (vertical flute)." The succubus's words about playing the xiao had a double meaning, making Yi Shuihan unconsciously think in a certain direction.

Yi Shuihan believed the first part, but the second part made him wonder if the succubus was just joking, and that she was actually quite a musician.

Seemingly sensing Yi Shuihan's thoughts, the succubus suddenly hummed a melody, completely changing Yi Shuihan's opinion.

"This is something only a musician who is very familiar with music could do, right? I never thought you were actually a musician." Yi Shuihan looked at the succubus in surprise, while the succubus also showed a smug smile.

Not only Yi Shuihan, but even Robin and the others looked at the succubus with new respect.

As they were talking, the girl playing the harp stopped and looked at them.

"Hasso, are you tourists from Qinghai?" The voice was clear and pleasant, very soothing to listen to.

Yi Shuihan knew that "Hasso" meant a question mark, so he replied, "That's right, we are indeed from Qinghai, but we are not tourists, but here for war."

"War!?" Connie looked at Yi Shuihan and the others in surprise, thinking she had misheard. Only after Yi Shuihan repeated his purpose did she look at him helplessly, clearly frightened by his intentions.

Chapter 173, Empty Shell

For Conis, who lives on the Sky Island, war is far too distant, especially now that she is under Enel's rule.

Enel's Observation Haki was enough to cover the entire Sky Island, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's attack range was also the entire Sky Island. In their eyes, this was already the power of a god, a symbol of invincibility, and something that could not be defeated.

Yi Shuihan said he came to wage war, which Conis saw as suicidal and impossible to win.

They must be joking, right? Suddenly remembering something, Connie said nervously, "Don't joke around. If you say that to others, you'll incur divine punishment."

"Divine retribution?" Yi Shuihan's eyes were filled with disdain. "If it is a true god, I would have to give way."

Indeed, true gods are at least Silver Level 1, beings capable of destroying planets with a wave of their hand, and are far beyond what he can afford to offend in his current state.

Connie was taken aback, looking at Yi Shuihan as if he were a madman, and secretly considered getting away from him.

Seeing Connie's expression, Robin knew that Yi Shuihan had frightened her, and said, "Don't listen to him. Actually, we're just here to find something."

Robin's words were clearly more reliable. Connie thought Yi Shuihan was joking, but being kind-hearted, she still reminded him, "Gods are very powerful. It's best not to mention what you just said to others."

Seeing this, Yi Shuihan stopped explaining and nodded, indicating that he had heard, which eased Connie's expression.

"This is our first time here. Could you help us find a guide to show us around?" Since we've come to the Sky Island, we naturally want to see it for ourselves. The matter of the Golden Ship can be dealt with at any time, so Yi Shuihan isn't in a hurry.

The other girls shared the same idea; they were excited just thinking about visiting the Sky Island.

"A tour guide?" Connie hesitated for a moment. "If you don't mind, I can help."

"Won't this affect you?"

"It's okay, I've been quite free lately."

"That would be troublesome."

After reaching an agreement, Yi Shuihan and his group officially entered the Sky Island under the guidance of Conis.

Meanwhile, Amazon's report from the old woman who was guarding the house arrived, and the White Beret sprang into action.

temple,

Enel tossed the apple up and down in his hand. Having received news of the intruders, he paid no attention. When Yi Shuihan and the others entered the Sky Island, Enel used his Mind Network to check their strength. However, with his limited abilities, he couldn't discern Yi Shuihan's power and assumed he was just an ordinary person. On the other hand, he was able to see the strength of Hancock's two sisters.

Enel clearly didn't care about this level of strength, so he casually gave the order and left the matter to the priest.

"Soon I'll be able to set off for the boundless land, it'll be soon." Thinking of the golden ship that was almost finished, Enel took a big bite of the apple in his hand, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Wow, what an amazing seashell! It can record audio, cook rice, and even..."

Speaking of Sky Island, one cannot help but mention its seashells, a unique product of Sky Island with a wide range of uses.

These special seashells can be used as lamps, stoves, power sources, and more, ranging from household furniture to weapons, making them a true marvel.

"This is a blasting shell, used to provide energy for small boats and powerful auras. It can spew out strong winds. Other similar shells include the giant shell and the double-wind shell."

"This is a Cloud Shell, which can create halos of fixed shapes. It can be used for construction and can also generate clouds for people to ride, but it is only for use on Sky Islands."

"This is a water shell, which can spray water; the fire shell, which can release flames..."

Throughout the journey, Connie diligently explained everything about Sky Island, especially the various shells that everyone was particularly interested in, explaining them in great detail.

Yi Shuihan couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature when he saw these seashells with their amazing properties. They were like a panacea, with practically every function imaginable.

Naturally, Yi Shuihan asked where these seashells came from or how they were made, but the answer he received made him feel strange.

Connie didn't know exactly how these shells came to be. She only knew that since she could remember, these shells would appear randomly in various places on the Sky Island. The probability of their appearance was completely random, but in general, most of them were of the practical use type.

"Could it be some kind of advanced technology? Are these shells actually left behind by the people on the moon? A shell civilization?" Yi Shuihan couldn't help but think. As far as he knew, the people on this floating island were all from the moon.

Yi Shuihan, who originally came to Sky Island only to board the golden ship, suddenly became interested in the origin of these seashell ears and decided to learn more about them.

"Could we go and take a look at the places where the shells appeared?" Yi Shuihan suddenly asked after they had walked around.

Connie wasn't surprised and was about to agree.

"No! These people can't go anywhere."

"The White Berets?"

They finally came knocking on our door; their efficiency is pretty good.

Looking at the group of guys in front of him wearing white hats and with their left hands placed on their heads in a very peculiar way, Yi Shuihan felt a little amused.

Their crawling posture, in particular, added to the humor.

"Hello everyone, I'm McKinley, we are the White Berets, please cooperate with our law enforcement."

The appearance of the white beret made the others on the street seem somewhat intimidated, and they distanced themselves from Yi Shuihan and his group. Although Connie did not leave, she also seemed somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, Connie remembered what Yi Shuihan had said when they first met: he had come for war, which made him a true illegal intruder.

“Because you didn’t pay the entry fee, you are considered to have entered illegally, which is a level 11 crime in our country. As long as you pay 10 times the entry fee, there are 6 of you. Paying 600 billion Ike will allow you to become legitimate tourists and avoid punishment,” McKinley said loudly.

However, Yi Shuihan ignored him. McKinley was taken aback, thinking that Yi Shuihan hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated it, but to no avail. His face darkened completely.

"So, you're not going to pay? Then don't blame us for taking action." As soon as McKinley finished speaking, the people behind him simultaneously pulled out a seashell, ready to fight.

Chapter 174, The Most Wasted Fruit

"Are you serious?" Yi Shuihan finally spoke, looking expressionlessly at the somewhat comical group of people in front of him.

"Wait!" McKinley's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively stopped his men.

For some reason, McKinley suddenly felt a sense of unease as he looked at Yi Shuihan, as if something bad would happen if he made a move, which made him somewhat suspicious.

Is it just an illusion? He clearly looks like an ordinary person.

“We are acting in accordance with the law. You entered the country illegally and must be punished. Please come with us.” McKinley’s tone was very calm this time, even giving the impression that he was begging for mercy.

"You may leave." Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't go with them. "I will have a proper talk with your god soon."

As he spoke, Yi Shuihan subtly released a trace of his aura, which appeared as awe-inspiring and majestic to others.

Under this oppressive aura, McKinley felt a chill run through his blood, a strong sense of crisis enveloping him, reminding him that he was facing an existence he could not resist.

The oppressive aura came quickly and went quickly. When it disappeared, McKinley realized that his palms were wet and his body was swaying, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

They stared in horror at Yi Shuihan and Jin Maili, caught in a dilemma.

Taking action would be absolutely pointless and could even lead to unpredictable consequences; if they didn't act, the higher-ups wouldn't let them off the hook.

After all, they were scared off without even exchanging blows; that's just too pathetic.

McKinley was still struggling to make a decision when Yi Shuihan appeared before him.
