บท 62: Chapter 62 : Sky Island!
Since arriving in this sea area, Kahn had been plagued by a persistent doubt. The feeling was akin to memorization; suddenly, understanding would dawn upon him after a while.
Now, confronted with a sky current, this sensation intensified immeasurably. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had overlooked crucial information.
"Lieutenant General Kahn, there's a long-standing legend about the waters surrounding Jaya Island. It suggests that one can reach Sky Island by navigating the surging currents. However, it's merely a legend," informed his companion Pochi.
Kahn's interest was piqued, "Jaya Island? Wait, isn't that the same as the Golden Island?"
His eyes widened as realization dawned upon him, "Jaya Island, Sky Island! How on earth could I have forgotten this? Damn it!"
His exclamation was brimming with surprise, leaving Pochi, his companion, perplexed.
Curious, Pochi asked, "Lieutenant General Kahn, what significance does Sky Island hold?"
"Pochi, well done. You've been a great help," Kahn acknowledged.
Pochi protested, "Ah! Lieutenant General Kahn, I haven't done much!"
Kahn reassured him, "No matter, your assistance has been invaluable. I'm stepping away briefly; you all can head toward headquarters, and I'll catch up shortly."
Pochi , was taken aback by Kahn's sudden departure. But he quickly complied.
"Understood, Lieutenant General Kahn."
As Pochi left, Kahn exited the warship once again. Transforming into a majestic fire dragon, he took to the skies, wings propelling him forward.
In his flight, Kahn found himself somewhat dumbfounded. How had he almost forgotten about this remarkable place? In the realm of pirates, wealth and opportunity resided here—a land known as Jaya Island, once referred to as the Golden Island, now an elusive Sky Island.
The island boasted a massive golden structure, a colossal golden Bell, and ancient inscriptions. Kahn's recollections aligned—the texts recounted the tales of Poseidon, the Sea King and ancient weapon.
Regarding the other two ancient weapons, Pluto and Uranus, Kahn was well-informed. As for the last weapon, theories abounded, with some suggesting Kozuki Momonosuke as the heavenly monarch, while others speculated that the world government controlled Uranus.
Kahn, however, held no interest in Poseidon .
With power enough to level an island with a roar, his priorities had shifted. His nonchalance extended even to Pluto, an object possibly worth a fortune. The rewards didn't align with the effort.
Fish man king King Neptune had crossed paths with Kahn over a decade ago, establishing a connection to Fishman Island.
Uranus, though noteworthy, failed to captivate Kahn. His formidable might rendered the pursuit of these weapons insignificant. Still, selling them could bring in substantial funds.
Recollection resurfaced: above Sky Island lay untold riches—hundreds of billions in gold, if memory served right. Luffy's discovery of 300 million Berries' worth of gold was but a fraction of the hoard exceeding 300 billion Berries.
As the notion crystallized, Kahn's breath quickened. This wealth could secure almost any power except the Eternal Water. No force would impede him from seizing the fortune; gods and Buddhas alike would be killed if they tried to stop hin.
For Kahn, who was grappling with financial constraints, this land was pivotal—a haven of untold prosperity.
"Thank goodness I remembered."
Kahn's speed remained phenomenal.
His contemplations had consumed mere moments. Flying through the skies, he broke through clouds to reveal an endless expanse of sea clouds below.
Kahn's breakneck speed allowed him to ascend levels quickly. Within minutes, he confronted an imposing gateway bearing the inscription "Kingdom of Gods."
Kahn smirked, flew through the gateway, and alighted on Sky Island.
Before him, a giant expanse, its heart occupied by an island shrouded in clouds, loomed—a place deemed forbidden by the Sky Island inhabitants.
Though Kahn wasn't certain of the gold's exact location within the shrine, he remained undeterred. His determination was steadfast.
With another powerful beat of his wings, Kahn advanced. Within moments, he arrived at the shrine's center.
Staring at the grand palace, excitement surged within Kahn. The gold was nearly within reach.
Yet, a sudden bolt of lightning descended from the heavens. It paled in comparison to Kahn's dragon form.
However, he didn't flinch, evading neither flame nor dodge. Electricity cascaded over his fiery form, reminiscent of Conqueror's Haki's aura, though distinct in color—a chasm separated the two powers.
A tingling sensation washed over Kahn. Oddly, it felt… comfortable.
"Is this your way of saying hello? Then allow me to return the gesture!"
In response, Kahn's draconic roar reverberated, generating a maelstrom that, if left unchecked, could level the palace.
Following his roar's release, Kahn's vitality surged, cementing his conviction in the worth of this Devil Fruit power. He even pondered relinquishing Kaido's title as the mightiest creature.
As a dragon, Kahn's defenses reached unprecedented heights. His vocal tumult, while powerful, proved controllable this time.
Enel, emerging to witness the commotion, was astounded by the storm triggered by Kahn's roar.
What exactly is going on?
Why did the legendary dragon come here?
And it seemed that it was just the roar of the fiery red dragon in front of me?
The priest who came out before Enel was also full of shock seeing Kahn like this.
The giant dragon in front of him was hit by the power of God just now.
But it seems that there is no harm at all.
And the power of a roar is so terrifying!
