Chapter 879 Arriving at the White Sea, Let's Have a Grilled Fish
The White Sea is an empty sea located 7,000 meters above Qinghai.
Compared with the sea surface of the Grand Line, here it was pure white all around, the air was thin, and the wind speed was very high, but not a ripple could be seen on the empty sea.
Suddenly, in this boundless pure white area, a huge iron box leaped out and then hovered in the air motionlessly.
The top of the iron box slowly opened, revealing a group of wizards inside.
"Is this Sky Island?"
"Ohhh!! This is amazing! Is this the sky sea? It's completely different from the ordinary sea surface !!"
Natsu and the others exclaimed instantly, their faces full of excitement, and they couldn't wait to explore here, but when they saw the vast expanse of white all around, they were instantly disappointed.
Suddenly, they discovered that besides the empty sea, there were also clusters of pure white clouds below.
"What are these things around here? They're so soft and elastic, just like a quilt!"
"What fun! I've decided, let's call them Continuous Clouds!"
A few people tried pressing a few times on the edge of the Hope and found that the clouds were quite solid and would not sink when they put their hands on them. They immediately became interested in playing and ran directly to play on the trampoline.
In fact, the continuous clouds are a kind of cloud with a density between sea clouds and island clouds. They are denser than sea clouds, but softer than island clouds. To be honest, they should be similar to the spherical clouds in the Trial of the Ball which is presided over by the fat man, one of the four priests.
"Hey, Natsu! Control your fire! These clouds are essentially water after all. If they burn, we will fall!"
"Aaaah~ Juvia and Gray-sama have one more date spot!!"
"You guys, be careful when you play, don't get bounced off!"
Erza, as always, played the role of 'the one giving instructions', " This is 7,000 meters high! If you really fall, I may not be able to save you in time..."
"How magical! We are lying on the clouds now? It's just like a fairy tale!" Melty and Wendy were full of girlishness, rolling around on the clouds with a look of comfort on their faces.
Lucy looked at the surrounding scene with shining eyes, as if she was going to write this down in her adventure diary. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and asked, "What was that thing we just saw? A fish? But why did the shape look so strange?"
Robin, one of the few knowledgeable people on the Hope, stepped forward to answer, "That's a sora fish. It grew like that because of its special environment!"
Hearing this novel name, Habib's mouth instantly watered with greed, and his eyes turned into hearts: "Sorayu?! I wonder if it tastes good..."
"Hehe... do you want to catch one and try?"
"May I?!"
After spending some time together, Robin has become friends with all the wizards. Of course, her favorite ones are the three little harpy kittens, and she often plays with them.
Kira was not surprised by this. After all, in the original plot, Robin had a good relationship with Chopper after boarding the Golden Merry, which shows that she likes children and cute pets very much.
Um……
I like children and cute pets very much...
Children and cute pets...
child……
Momonosuke must die!!!
Kira took a few deep breaths and felt that breathing was indeed a little more difficult than usual. He knew that this was due to the thin oxygen at high altitudes, which caused altitude sickness.
However, this level of hypoxia is nothing to these magicians. You know, even in the famous Zonia Mountains in the Kingdom of Fiore, a plateau snow-capped mountain over 8 kilometers high, this group of people can move freely.
After taking a minute to adapt to the surrounding air, Kira recalled the experience he had just had in the sea of space.
To be honest, that feeling was not good at all, because the empty sea was basically no different from the sea, with water all around, but the height was limited, about a few hundred meters.
If they were like the Straw Hat Pirates, riding the ocean current, this section of empty sea water would be separated by the current, forming a short-term air passage, but the Hope flew directly up, so it had to pass through that sea.
Although the Hope can be fully enclosed and people can use magic props to see what's happening outside from inside, it is an airship after all, not a submarine!
Fortunately, this period of time was not long, otherwise Kira would really worry about whether there would be a leak - although he had absolute confidence in his magic and magic props, he couldn't help but have thoughts like "what if?"
Everyone was chattering away, their expressions excited, their brows raised, and they were full of curiosity about everything around them.
When Kira came to his senses after reviewing the future arrangements in his mind, he found that Natsu and his friends had already caught several fish and were grilling them.
Although Erza is the chef on the Hope now, except for the main meals and Kira's request, she decides whether to cook based on her mood at other times, so to be honest, Erza is not very competent for this job as a chef.
But no one dared to say anything about it.
Nonsense! Among this group of people, except for Kira who relies on himself as the captain, the president, and the boss who pays the salary and can order his own cook at any time, who dares to say to Erza "Go cook something for me"? ?
His skin was beaten to pieces!
But they couldn't change the chef. After all, Erza was the best cook among them.
Fortunately, there were always plenty of snacks on the Hope, and Nazgrey and his companions would occasionally catch some fish and birds for their own snacks, so they were not afraid of going hungry.
Natsu and Happy's ability to survive in the wild is relatively high among these people. Survival skills, especially barbecue, are very easy for them. Among the barbecues, grilled fish is their specialty, and no one in the entire "Fairy Tail" can match them. This is mainly due to Happy's frequent gluttony and Natsu's training in fire magic.
Before long, Natsu finished several grilled fish. He coated them with a thin layer of oil, sprinkled a little salt from the kitchen, and added a little seasoning. The fish immediately turned golden and seemed to be glowing. The aroma was so fragrant that it made your mouth water. The meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste was extremely delicious.
“Delicious…delicious…”
Natsu is a person who likes to share. After grilling, he gave one to Happy first, because it was meant to satisfy his oral desire. Then he gave one to Lucy, showing that he was taking care of his girlfriend. As for the third one, he gave it to Levi.
Now, on the entire Hope, Kira is the only one who can order Erza to cook for him, and there is only one person who can make Erza, or even everyone else, ask if they want to eat, and that is Levi. As for the reason...
Of course it’s because she’s pregnant now!
Although Natsu's IQ and EQ are not high, he is sometimes surprisingly sensitive about certain things, but usually they are about Lucy.
But this time, after learning that Levi was pregnant, Natsu's constant noise every day was much more restrained, and he quarreled less with Gajeel, and sometimes even acted reserved and even attentive in front of Levi.
Kira and others knew that this was Natsu's nature and he valued life very much.
When Natsu carefully hatched Happy's egg, it was almost the same situation. Since there was a precedent, Kira, Erza, Gray and others were not surprised by his performance.
But every time Natsu makes a move, Gajeel's face becomes sour!
"This is my woman, why are you rushing to join in the fun, Fire Dragon? If you want to show your affection, go find your Lucy." These words were almost written on his face.
Lucy was not jealous, because she knew that Natsu was always single-minded in doing things.
There weren't many grilled fish, so a few people had a simple barbecue on the Mianmian Cloud. After filling their stomachs with the food, they began to feel bored.
"So boring! This is Sky Island? Isn't Sky Island supposed to be fun? There's nothing here!"
Kira raised his right index finger and pointed to the top of his head, and answered as a matter of course: "Of course! Because our destination is higher up, the real Sky Island is in the White Sea more than 3,000 meters above here!"
"Huh?!! Why didn't you tell me about that earlier?!"
Several people were shocked, and then cast a questioning look at Kira, "Since we haven't arrived yet, why don't we continue to fly upwards? Why are we stopping here?"
"Well... I mainly want to see if there is anyone here, and whether there is a way to other sky islands, but it seems difficult to find it now!"
The white sea in front of us was covered with thick clouds. Although these clouds were extremely elastic, they were very dense and could not be penetrated at all. They also formed obstacles to the navigation of ships in an irregular manner.
Ordinary people can only get here by sailing, so it is extremely difficult to move forward. It is impossible to do so without certain sailing skills. If you cannot move forward, the only result is to be trapped in this white sea and finally fall into Qinghai one day.
But Kira and his group didn't have this concern.
Because this kind of obstacle is not a problem for magicians like them. With just a cast of magic, they can disperse all the clouds and create a bright and wide road.
Of course, the most important thing is that Hope can fly!
