Capítulo 195: Jack, Mistaken for a Fish in the Sea Clouds
Mandrell checked out his subordinates', and after ensuring that no one was injured, he led the group to leave this place, leaving behind the dumbfounded pub owner, Dort.
Harlow had established his dominance here for three years. Ever since he defeated the previous boss upon his arrival three years ago, he became the uncrowned king of Mock Town. However, he never expected someone to deal with him so easily today.
This odd group of people turned out to be so powerful, which exceeded Dort's imagination. And the most crucial thing is that the man didn't seem to be the captain, but rather an ordinary officer.
It wasn't until a pirate dropped his blood-stained jacket that he understood the reason. The conspicuous flag of the Beasts Pirates on the vest caught his attention.
"Why would the Beasts Pirates, who roam the seas of the New World, appear here?"
However, this question didn't trouble him for long. The next moment, he rushed towards the rubble. Anyone who could run a pub here couldn't be a good person, although he wasn't as extreme as Harlow and his crew.
They unnecessarily entangled themselves in a simple matter. In the past, no one dared to resist their tyrannical behavior, but now they have unexpectedly encountered a formidable opponent.
Many things in the pub have been broken, and he hopes to use Harlow's bounty to repair it.
On the Genesis ship, Yamato didn't sulk for long before her attention was attracted to the massive water column in the distance.
It was the Knock Up Stream near Jaya, the same current that lifted Shandora to the Skypiea.
"It's huge, Dad, Dad, are we going to ride this current up?"
"No, that kind of current only appears every so often. If we miss it this time, we'll have to wait for several days. We have a safer way to get up there."
"Is it the method we used to cross the Red Line before?"
"Yes, but this time we'll fly even higher."
The night passed without incident. Mandrell's fight in the pub made those with ill intentions here behave themselves. In Paradise, the pirates lacked awareness of true strength, and in their eyes, a powerful individual was someone like Harlow.
If it had been only the flag of the Beasts Pirates, a few brave souls might have tried to provoke them. However, Mandrell had extinguished any such thoughts completely.
The next morning, as usual, Dort was picking cherries in the cherry orchard as cherries were the main ingredient for their cherry pies. At this moment, he noticed the Genesis ship slowly rising in the direction of the port.
"A flying ship. Could it be that a Sky Island truly exists in the sky?"
This thought appeared in his mind and gradually changed his perspective of the world.
On the Genesis ship, Yamato was pulled down from the bow. It wasn't a suitable spot for her during flight, but that didn't stop her. She turned the original firing port of the ship's cannon in the hold of the ship into her own observation point.
Controlled by Arceus, Genesis ship gradually approached the clouds. As the main mast made contact with the clouds, a strange fish landed on Jack's head.
Looking at the fish with a long elephant-like snout, Jack had a strong feeling that this fish would taste delicious.
"Is this... a Sky Fish that grows in the White Sea? It seems we're getting close."
Some experienced and knowledgeable pirates recognized what it was, indicating that the clouds above their heads were no longer ordinary clouds but Sea Clouds suitable for ship navigation.
Then, Zeraora released an electric current, creating a large hole in the White Sea in the sky, allowing the Genesis ship to pass through the gap and arrive above the White Sea.
"So, ships can really sail on clouds."
Yes, Maria, look! The sun is so close to us; it feels like it's just ahead. Dad, let's sail above the sun!" The sunset above the sea of clouds had a unique beauty, a scenery not found on Onigashima.
"We can't do that, Yamato. The sun is even higher up, and that's not our destination."
Here was White Sea which was 7,000-meter-high, but the location of the Skypiea was even higher. There was still a distance of 3,000 meters to reach the Skypiea, and the White-White Sea at an altitude of 10,000 meters was their destination.
Normally, entering a Sky Island required a payment of one billion Extol, but due to severe inflation in Sky Island's economy, one billion Extol was merely a hundred thousand Berry.
But it had nothing to do with Genesis ship. If following the normal entry method, whether slowly ascending from the sea clouds of the Summit of High West or riding the Knock Up Stream, they would ultimately have to enter through the designated entry point.
As for those who can fly, going straight is enough.
Once the people on the ship adjusted slightly, Genesis ship continued to rise, floating towards the higher White-White Sea.
On the White-White Sea, a man and a woman were sprinting on two U-shaped irons, their feet bound with Breath Dials on either side of the U-shaped irons. Breath Dials are a special product of Sky Island, possessing various functions.
Breath Dials can store wind, and at this moment, they were using them as surfboards. They were currently catching fish that lived within the Sea Clouds.
They were dressed in attire similar to Native Americans, with feather ornaments at the back of their heads, and they even had a pair of handmade wings attached to their backs.
They were the Shandians, the indigenous people of Jaya Island, who were brought here together with a portion of Jaya Island nearly four hundred years ago by the Knock Up Stream.
On Skypiea, land is a scarce resource, so the islands with large plots of land became the subject of contention among the indigenous people of Skypiea.
Unable to withstand the pressure, the Shandians left their homeland and established their own Hidden Cloud Village within the clouds of the White-White Sea. However, for hundreds of years, they had been attempting to reclaim their homeland, which was now known as God's Island - Upper Yard.
The two of them were pulling a fishing net to catch food for their tribe in the Sea Clouds. From the looks of it, the current harvest didn't seem great, as there were only a few small fish contained in the fish basket behind them.
However, at this moment, their fishing net suddenly stirred, with something struggling vigorously.
"Kodol, it seems like we've caught a big fish!"
"I know, it looks like we have dinner sorted for tonight. Let's give it our all, Shatira!"
In Shandians society, labor was not divided by gender but by adulthood. With a small population, every adult was an indispensable manpower.
The two of them increased the output of their Milky Dials under their feet and finally pulled up their catch from below. However, when they completely retrieved their net, they realized that what they had caught was not the expected prey but a person.
"How could it be a person?"
To be precise, it wasn't a person but a fishman. Jack, who was swimming in the Sea Clouds, was accidentally caught in the net. Given Jack's age, no one would let him roam freely. Jack's presence here meant that the Genesis ship was nearby.
Before they could release Jack from the fishing net, the enormous Genesis ship had already emerged into view.
"Excuse me, would you mind releasing our companion? It would be best not to refuse, as it could make things difficult for us."
Mandrell's voice came from the distant ship's deck, accompanied by a row of firearms being raised.
