The waves suddenly became high, the sea surface became turbulent, and the ship bumped and undulated in the rough waves, and there was a possibility of capsizing at any time.
Nami's record pointer kept pointing at the dark cloud in the sky, which meant that the Sky Island was right above her head.
A huge vortex appeared in front of everyone, wide and bottomless, giving everyone a feeling of suffocation.
The two pirate ships, the Orangutan and the Orangutan, threw hook locks from their ships and grabbed the Meili on the left and right sides.
"What should we do now?" Nami asked.
"Go along the whirlpool. As long as you don't turn the steering wheel after entering, you can reach the eye of the whirlpool smoothly!" the ape said loudly.
Looking at the bottomless dark vortex, Usopp had already begun to yell.
"No, I don't want it, I want to go back, I don't want to go to Sky Island!"
Zoro said: "Give up, Usopp. It's too late. Someone's heart has already flown to the sky."
"I'm coming to Sky Island!" Luffy shouted, raising his arms.
In the huge whirlpool, Neptune species kept jumping out.
"Okay, brothers, you can wish yourselves good luck next!" the ape shouted loudly.
The Meili has successfully entered the downward vortex orbit, and the Orangutan and Orangutan pirate ships are watching from a distance.
"We were sucked into the vortex!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Luffy, let's go back. It's still too late to turn around. We will definitely be buried under the sea in such a big whirlpool. An empty island is simply a dream within a dream!" Usopp's legs kept shaking.
Nami said: "Yes, Luffy, I also think we are too reluctant this time."
Luffy looked at the whirlpool, his thoughts still unchanged: "It is the dream island of dreams. If you miss such an adventure, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
It can be seen that Luffy is very excited.
The ship slid down quickly along the vortex, gradually turning from sliding to falling. After a few minutes, the vortex suddenly disappeared.
The Meili stayed in the center of the previous whirlpool eye.
"What happened?" Luffy exclaimed.
"Such a big whirlpool eye has disappeared!" Usopp said.
There is always a calm before the storm.
The calm sea surface suddenly swelled, dragging the Merry upward.
The Meili is like a flat boat on top of a huge fountain.
The current was ready to erupt at any time. Everyone clung to the mast and waited in fear for the current to launch.
The next second, the current under the Meili shot out like a spring, pushing the Meili into the sky.
The power of this strong sea current even made Gaya Island tremble.
The Meili rushed into the cumulus clouds at extremely fast speeds along the water column.
"Great, this will definitely make it to the sky. Come on to the Merry!" Luffy shouted loudly while sitting on the mast.
Usopp grabbed the railing, his body swaying like seaweed, feeling like he could fall off at any time.
Because it rises vertically along the current wall, the hull begins to tilt.
If this continues, the hull of the ship will float up and then fall before it reaches the island in the sky.
"If this continues, the entire ship will be thrown off!" Sanji exclaimed.
Usopp grabbed the mast: "The consequences of that are unimaginable. What should we do? All we can do now is hold on tightly!"
Nami immediately commanded: "Swing, move quickly, this is a sea current rising to the sky, and the wind blowing up from below is the updraft produced by the geothermal heat and steam explosion on the seabed. Since the object is the sea and wind, I have a way
Sailing, who is the navigator on this ship?"
"It's Miss Nami!" Sanji responded.
"Now the wind is on the starboard side, turn the rudder to the left immediately and try to make the ship's hull match the current!" Nami said loudly.
"As ordered,!"
Everyone immediately acted according to Nami's instructions.
Surprisingly, the hull left the water.
But driven by the strong updraft, the Meili turned into a big bird and flew towards the sky. The wings installed by the apes on the Meili played a huge role here.
"It's flying, it's amazing, our ship is flying into the sky!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Real or false!" Although Li Xiao knew the plot, he still found it unbelievable when the facts happened in front of him.
"Miss Nami is great, I love you so much!" Sanji shouted.
Nami said: "As long as you ride on the wind direction and sea current, you can fly as high as you want. If the sky island really exists, it should be on the other side of the cloud!"
The Meili rushed into the Jet Cloud at an extremely fast speed, so fast that it took people's breath away.
There were thick clouds all around and nothing could be seen.
Finally, the Meili broke through the clouds and landed in the middle of the Jiedi Cloud.
"Look, you guys, look outside the ship!" Luffy said.
The surrounding area is completely white and there are clouds everywhere, as if you have arrived at the Nantian Gate and are surrounded by heavenly soldiers and generals.
"This is the so-called Kukai!" Nami said.
The record pointer is still pointing upward, indicating that we have not reached the empty island yet.
You still need to continue going up to reach the empty island.
Surprisingly, Usopp took off his clothes and shouted: "Hahahaha, first step, Captain Usopp goes swimming."
After that, Usopp jumped into the sea of clouds.
Is this still the coward Usopp who jumped into the sea of clouds without knowing what was going on?
As expected, Usopp will swim downstream along the sea of clouds and then fall.
After waiting for a while, Usopp still didn't swim up. Luffy couldn't wait any longer and stretched out his arm to save Usopp.
Robin used the power of the Devil Fruit to grow many eyes on Luffy's arms to search for Usopp's whereabouts.
Finally, at the bottom of the clouds, he caught the fallen Usopp and pulled him back.
Returning with Usopp were two huge monsters, commonly known as empty fish.
Li Xiao punched two monsters with a fire punch.
"To be honest, this place is really breathtaking." Zoro said.
"This thing looks really weird. It doesn't look like a fish. The octopus is as swollen as a rubber ball." Sanji said.
In the Kukai sea area, in order to adapt to the Kukai without a bottom, there are many strange-looking Kukai fish that have continued to evolve. Some of them will swell up like balloons, and will explode like balloons when attacked. Some are flat like boards, and
They are all very light. Some have feathers growing on their bodies and have big mouths.
After a while, Usopp woke up from fainting.
"There seems to be something in my pants!"
Usopp took out a piranha from his crotch and threw it out.
"The Sky Island is so scary, the Sky Island is so scary!" Usopp lay on the deck with blurred eyes.
Robin picked up the fish and asked in surprise: "Could this creature be an empty fish? The wonderful fish recorded in Rolando's diary. Their strange appearance should have been formed through continuous evolution, with the purpose of being able to
Let’s survive in this empty sea without an ocean bottom.”
Luffy took the fish from Robin's hand and gave it to Sanji.
Sanji quickly fried the fish fillets.
"It's delicious!" Luffy ate with relish.
"Luffy, you seem to have forgotten that this fish was taken out of Usopp's crotch." Li Xiao reminded.
Sanji took a puff of cigarette: "I was just curious why fish have a few hairs on their bodies."
"Nani! Poof!" Luffy covered his neck and tried to spit out what he had just eaten.
