Kapitel 203: Chapter 203: Floating Island
Maxim had been floating in the sky for an unknown amount of time.
Ryujiro and his crew enjoyed their time above the clouds.
Despite the absence of the sea breeze, the comfort of the sky was greater than being on the ocean, free from the troubles of pirates and the navy.
In the spiritual world, Ryujiro and Gojo were engaged in battle.
Although Gojo's abilities were still as challenging as ever, the gap between him and Ryujiro had significantly narrowed.
Moreover, to refine his control over curse power, Ryujiro had refrained from using any abilities other than his curse techniques.
"Just as expected of you."
Ryujiro murmured as he looked at the injury on his right arm.
The cursed objects from Gojo's era were pitiable even in existence.
The power of curse energy was fascinating. It could enhance the body and even push its evolution.
With the Hogyoku slowly integrating with this power, Ryujiro had progressively merged these forces.
Once he released these powers simultaneously, it would unleash terrifying destructive force.
At this moment, Ryujiro had returned from the spiritual space to reality, and a towel appeared in front of him.
Seeing Hinata, Ryujiro smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He then pulled Hinata into his embrace. Hinata let out a soft gasp, her face flushing as she lowered her head, not daring to look into Ryujiro's eyes.
Holding Hinata, the two of them gazed into the distance as they traversed the clouds.
Carmen and Kun emerged from the cabin and were taken aback upon seeing Hinata and Ryujiro on the deck. They quickly closed the door behind them.
They exchanged awkward glances.
Then they returned to the training room to continue honing their Devil Fruit abilities.
If news spread that Ryujiro's crew had two of the most powerful Logia Devil Fruit, it would undoubtedly shake the entire sea.
Not long after, a massive island appeared ahead of Maxim.
This island was different from Skypiea. Skypiea was fixed in place and immovable, but this island floated slowly in the air.
Kun stared in awe at the floating island. Could there be more than one Skypiea? Ryujiro squinted at the island, a smile playing on his lips.
"It seems I have a special fate with you renowned sea pirates."
This island was not Skypiea, as Ryujiro knew all too well.
Ryujiro maneuvered Maxim closer to the floating island.
Meanwhile, in a spacious hall, a pirate hurriedly entered.
"Captain! A ship is approaching us!"
Shiki, sitting high above, changed his expression.
"What did you say?"
"A ship is approaching the island? Who is it?!"
The legendary pirate and former powerhouse of the Sea, Shiki the Golden Lion.
A Devil Fruit user with the ability to float and a grand swordsman.
"We can't confirm yet. The ship is a massive ark, seemingly made of gold."
"What?!"
"Gold?!"
The pirates in the palace were astonished. A ship made of gold would likely weigh as much as the island itself.
What intrigued them most was the gold. They couldn't even imagine or believe how much a golden ark would be worth.
Of course, they didn't naively think the entire ship was made of gold. At least a significant portion of the ship was constructed from gold.
"Captain, what should we do?"
The pirates looked at Shiki, who wore a wild grin.
"Let's go out and see who dares to approach us!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The many pirates cheered loudly.
"This island seems different from Skypiea."
Kun looked puzzled at the environment on the island.
"It's not Skypiea."
"This island floats because of the Devil Fruit's power."
Devil Fruit power? Floating?
Kun's eyes flashed with horror.
"Captain, you don't mean Shiki the Golden Lion, do you?"
"Mm."
Ryujiro nodded lightly.
Oh my god!
It really is him!
Shiki was the only pirate to escape from Impel Down, and almost no one in the seas was unaware of him.
Since Shiki's escape from the navy, no trace of him had been found.
It was no wonder the island could float.
Moreover, the animals on this island were enormous. They had encountered many unusual creatures in the forest.
Though these animals appeared fierce, they experienced the meaning of cruelty in the presence of Ryujiro's group.
Thud thud thud—
Loud footsteps approached from the distance, shaking the ground.
A peculiar-looking old man with golden hair descended from the sky, carefully observing Ryujiro and his crew.
A white-haired youth, a girl, and two young men—are they the ones?
"Captain!"
Shiki's pirates arrived in droves, a dark mass of people. But when they saw Ryujiro and Hinata, their expressions turned strange.
"It's them!"
One of the pirates recognized Ryujiro and Hinata, his gaze filled with fear.
The White Demon! And the White-Eyed Sorceress!
"You know them?"
Seeing his subordinates' fearful expressions, Shiki became intrigued by Ryujiro and his crew.
One of his subordinates had a bounty of 150 million on the Grand Line, and someone who could instill fear in him was probably not simple.
"Captain, because you've always been on the island, you haven't heard of them."
"But they are definitely among the most dangerous groups on the seas. Their threat to the navy is comparable to the Four Emperors of the New World!"
What?!
All the pirates were shocked by this news. Comparable to the Four Emperors?
How is that possible!
The Four Emperors of the New World!
Comparable to the Four Emperors!
"What have they done?"
Shiki's gaze towards Ryujiro and his crew glinted with an unusual light.
Gulp.
The pirate, overwhelmed by the shocking information, couldn't help but swallow.
"They… injured a Marine Admiral!"
Boom—!
The news exploded like thunder among the pirates.
Injured a Marine Admiral!
Impossible!
Even Shiki's eyes contracted sharply.
