Chapter 878: Sky Island
"'Scarlet Dragon' Erin Belserion, bounty of 3 billion berries;"
"'Moon Dragon' Selene, bounty 2.898 billion berries;"
"'Dead Summoner' Neinhart, bounty 2.27 billion Beli ;"
"'Female Assassin' Dimalia, bounty 1,055,000 Beli;"
"Giantess Blanche, bounty 994 million berries;"
"'Witch' Mirajane, bounty 1.061 billion Baileys;"
"'Beast King' Elfman, bounty 577 million berries;"
"Lisanna, bounty: 330 million berries."
On the Hope, Kira fell into deep silence as he read the news in the newspaper and the new bounty order issued by the World Government.
He also didn't expect that his plan to shock the entire ocean would be thwarted at the first step, and the source of the attack was his own people! !
He had originally planned it out. He was to build up momentum in Alabasta, and then show off his skills in a big scene like the Battle of Marineford. It would be best if he could defeat Whitebeard in front of the whole world, and then announce the arrival of a new era. At the same time, he would use Robin and historical texts to revise the new history for the World Government and bring the entire ocean into the magical age.
What’s the result now?
Irene and her group took the lead in killing Big Mom, exposing the existence of wizards directly under the noses of all forces including the navy and pirates, and also caused huge changes in the maritime forces. As a result, let alone her earth-shaking plan, she is afraid that she will be busy dealing with the supervision of wizards by various forces.
You know, there are still dozens of companions missing. They are not as strong as me. Once their existence is exposed, they will definitely be labeled by those people who are planning to "Eileen". I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles...
But now that things have come to this, Kira has no way to stop it and can only speed up his pace.
What Kira didn't know was that because Irene's defeat of Big Mom had caused new waves in the New World, the Navy had begun to take action, and because of the appearance of Roger's corpse memories, Ace temporarily gave up the hunt for Blackbeard and had already set off for the New World.
“Everyone is so awesome…”
Wendy, Xia Lulu, Erza and the others gathered together, looking at the bounty notices and newspapers on the table with envy in their eyes: "3 billion Baileys?! As expected of Erin-san!!"
The purchasing power of the currency in the One Piece world and the Fairy Tail world is similar, and is basically equivalent to the Japanese yen, so 3 billion Baileys is 3 billion J, which is equivalent to 100 times the prize money of the Grand Magic Fighting Ensemble Champion! !
"Is Selene here too? That's right, her magic is space-based, so it's normal for her to want to come in and take a look when she encounters a space rift. And she got 2.898 billion in the first battle, she's really worthy of being the 'Moon Dragon'!!"
"Happy, look! Mira's bounty is over 1 billion?! Even if we were sold, we wouldn't get that much money, right?" Natsu and Happy were horrified and looked at each other, then they recalled their own little remaining treasury and their eyes turned red with envy.
Lucy held Brandish's bounty, looking puzzled: "Brandish's nickname is 'Giantess'?! And her bounty is so much lower than that of Dimalia and Mirasan?"
"Maybe she didn't show her full strength during the battle ? After all, you know her character well!"
“That makes sense…”
Gajeel and Marcus were complaining about a muscular man: "Hey, hey, hey... Isn't this Elfman too lame?! He only has over 500 million? He's completely outshined! He's really a disgrace to our Fairy Tail!!"
"Unbelievable! Even Lisanna..."
Several people exclaimed in amazement and pointed at the pile of bounty notices. Some were envious of the high bounty on this person, while others complained that the bounty on that person was too low. In short, there was a lot of noise.
Robin was extremely shocked by the noisy atmosphere. His eyes widened and cold sweat broke out on his face, wetting the bangs on his forehead. "Do these people... understand the value of a bounty of over 100 million for the first time?!"
"No, compared to that, defeating the 'Four Emperors' is the most surprising thing, right?!"
"It seems that this time, I really found a group of good partners??"
"Ahem!! With Irene-san's strength, a bounty of 3 billion berries is actually quite low, because the bounties of the current 'Four Emperors' are all over 4 billion berries. To defeat a ' Big Mom', it should be more. But perhaps it's because the World Government has never heard of Irene-san before, so the first bounty is so low..."
Kira explained to everyone, "But then again, the first bounty of 3 billion berries is probably the first in the entire ocean! You know, the first bounties of over 100 million in history can be counted on one hand!"
Wendy asked curiously, "But didn't Irene-san and the others fight against pirates? Why are they still being rewarded?"
"Maybe it's because of Neinhart's magic..."
Kira squeezed the newspaper in his hand, his eyes fell on Rocks, Roger and others in the photo, his eyes were full of surprise. Even the Pirate King and Rocks could be summoned, which would definitely attract the attention of the Navy and even the World Government!
Since Neinhart possesses such ability, even if the navy does not understand the characteristics of corpse memory magic and does not know that the summoned dead are far less powerful than the user individually, it is not surprising that the bounty on him is more than 2.2 billion.
Thinking of this, Kira couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, in a place like this where the stronger the dead, the stronger the magic effect, the undead summoning is really popular, and even the bounty is twice as high as the other two twelve shields!!"
If there is a war on the top, as long as they send Neinhart there, they might be able to get a million troops for free, including a bunch of extremely powerful masters! !
While several people were immersed in newspapers and bounty notices, the Hope was rising at a steady speed.
Anti-gravity magic can make the target escape from the earth's gravity and achieve the effect of suspension, ascension, and free movement. It naturally doesn't take much effort to go to the sky.
The formation of the sky island is caused by the surging ocean current.
There is a huge cavity under the sea. The low-temperature seawater flows into the cavity and produces steam due to geothermal heat. When the steam pressure reaches a certain level, it will erupt.
The ocean currents carry keratin particles called 'PYROBROIN' to the sky, where they condense with water vapor to change their density, thus forming 'island clouds' and 'sea clouds'. Afterwards, the Sky Islanders further compress the island clouds, changing their density , and create artificially processed clouds that can be used to make 'Cloud River Road' or building materials.
In the world of One Piece, there are not many Sky Islands mentioned before and after, and Kira only knows a few of them:
The "Kingdom of God" located above Gaya Island is where Luffy and others arrived in the plot. It includes "Angel Island" and "Arpayard". The latter is the part of Gaya Island that was washed up into the sky and buried the golden city "Shandora";
Visalia, the 'small sky island', is the island where Nami lived during the two years when she was slapped away by the bear. It has very mature meteorological technology and is the only sky island that can freely enter Qinghai. It is also the sky island closest to Qinghai.
Bika, a small island in the south, Enelu's hometown, was destroyed by Enelu 18 years ago and wiped off the map;
In addition, according to the NPC Ganfor in the plot, there is a high-speed air route from the "Top of the Western Sky" to the "Kingdom of God". It is an ordinary route from Qinghai to Baibaihai, and you can encounter many sky islands along the way; and correspondingly, to return to Qinghai, you have to go to the "End of the Clouds" in the east.
The purpose of Kira's trip is to get the gold treasure of Shandora and various shells.
But at this time, most of the gold should be in Eneel's hands, so Kira can only say sorry to Eneel!
Ancient wisdom: It is a crime to possess a treasure.
If Enelu wants to blame someone, he should blame the people of Qinghai! Who makes gold so precious in their country?
As for shells, they are a specialty of Sky Island and are rarely seen in Qinghai. Their working principle is storage and then release.
In fact, things like "sound shells", "flavor shells", "lamp shells" and "wind shells" have functions similar to magic props, but it is well known that even if the functions of two things are the same, as long as the packaging is different, they can be sold at a good price.
This is like reskinning a mobile game based on the Fairy Tail IP and turning it into a mobile game based on the One Piece IP. Although the core code and gameplay of the game are exactly the same, only the name and skin have been changed, it can still attract many players to spend money.
What's more, the principles of Bei and magic props are different. This is equivalent to two games, one developed with JAVA and the other developed with C++, but they have the same game functions.
Of course, Kira always remembered that he was a businessman, so he could take the gold that belonged to no one directly; but those shells were the product of the labor of the people of Sky Island, and he could not rob them for nothing.
He decided to do business with the Sky Island people!
Scarcity makes things valuable. Previously, when he was in Alabasta, he had purchased a batch of "Qinghai goods", mainly steel and sand.
The source of the steel is the military equipment of the rebel forces.
After all, they have decided not to fight, so Alabasta certainly cannot allow its citizens to have such a high level of armed force, so they were forced to take action.
As for the sand...
The thing that Alabasta has the most is sand!
In fact, for the people of Sky Island, what seems to be precious is not the sand, but the land. However, this does not pose a problem for Kira. It is very simple for him to use the "world's only" magic to create land, or to cut off a small piece from an island in Qinghai!
You know, he can permanently enlarge the "small garden" several times!
Killer and his crew did not ride the ocean current like Luffy and his crew in the original work. Instead, after arriving at Gaya Island, they flew directly into the sky, and the journey was extremely smooth.
Before long, the Hope broke through the clouds and arrived at the White Sea, 7 kilometers above Qinghai.
