Pirates: From the Planet to the Starry Sky

Chapter 23 Discovery of Sky Island
"what."

Hearing the news about the No. [-] airship, everyone in the entire flagship became excited.

After five days, the legendary Sky Island finally appeared. Although the estimated time seemed a bit wrong, it was a new discovery after all.

"Your Highness, we have found traces of the sky island, what should we do." The captain of the flagship and several key personnel on the flagship stood beside Rich.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Richie said, looking at the people around him.

"Although it's not the target sky island yet, it's still a sky island. Fly over there and explore it first."

"Yes."

After Rich nodded in agreement, the ten airships turned around and headed towards the empty island.

Sky Island, in One Piece World, is not just a place where future protagonists take risks.There are also sky islands in the New World and other places.

Therefore, it is not an accident to encounter other empty islands in the sky.

Now that the empty island is discovered, it is natural to occupy it. On the ground, there are obstacles from the surrounding countries, as well as pressure and surveillance from the world government.

Unscrupulous expansion is simply impossible.On the contrary, in Sky Island, there are not so many restrictions.

All empty islands are not owned by the world government, nor occupied by any forces. Basically, there are no human beings from the ground, and they are all empty island residents.

Moreover, these empty island residents still live on islands and do not control each other.For Rich, this is a perfect area for occupation and expansion.

For Rich, these are unclaimed lands, and the island clouds floating in the sea of ​​clouds are all territories that can be occupied, which is the key to Rich's development of power.

Not to mention, there are also various specialties of magical shells in Sky Island, and some of those shells are good weapons.

After flying for about half an hour, the airship fleet arrived at the empty island above the sea of ​​clouds.

Sky islands are made up of special clouds, and these sky islands don't float alone in the sky.Some clouds are like the ocean, and large pieces float in the sky, forming a sea of ​​clouds. These clouds that make up the sea of ​​clouds are called sea clouds.

And above the sea clouds, there are some clouds that can stand and float like islands. These clouds are called island clouds.

The residents of those empty islands live above the island cloud.Standing by the window of the flagship, looking around.In front of my eyes is a vast field of vision, with island clouds of various sizes floating in the sea of ​​clouds.

The airship floated up [-] meters, looking at the large sea clouds below, it was like being in a fairyland.

"There really are empty islands."

At this time, the four scientists, Lace, Romolo, Nasri, and Carolina, were also standing in front of the window, looking at the sea of ​​clouds.

"Those are the island clouds His Highness said." Reis looked at the cloud-like objects floating in the sea of ​​clouds like steamed buns, and muttered to himself.

"I really want to study the composition of these clouds."

"The creatures living on these empty islands must have their own characteristics. After going down, we must capture some research." Biologist Nasri looked ahead silently, thinking to himself.

On the other side, a tall, model-like chemist with a height of 1.8 meters and long wavy golden hair, Carolina's eyes sparkled, as if she saw a gem.

"It must be some peculiar chemical reactions that can form such clouds, and those reaction equations must be very beautiful."

The flying altitude of the airship is [-] meters, so the sea clouds encountered are white seas above [-] meters, and the people of Sky Island live here.

Under the Baibai Sea, at an altitude of 7000 meters, there is a sea of ​​clouds, which is called the Baihai Sea, where there are many marine creatures in the sea of ​​clouds with huge empty islands.

"Flagship, this is Airship No. [-]. I found traces of sky islanders under my boat, and some islands with sky island plants. May I ask if you want to stay?"

"Have you found any uninhabited islands?" Richie took the microphone and asked.

"I found an uninhabited island with a few plants. The diameter of the island is about five kilometers, and the area is mostly flat, enough for ten airships to stay."

"All ships, land on the uninhabited island, and the No. [-] airship guides the rest of the airships."

Richie gave the order.

"Use the uninhabited island as the advance base of my scientific troops, start construction, and then send a team to follow me and contact the empty islanders."

"Yes."

Rich's order was issued, and the No. [-] airship flew over the uninhabited island, then hovered still, and then released the coordinate signal.

Nine airships around, including the flagship, approached in the direction of No. [-] airship.

Soon, the flagship passed the island inhabited by Sky Islanders.While flying over the island, Richie also made a general observation.

The island of the Sky Islanders has more plants on the Sky Island. The island is about [-] kilometers in diameter, and the island presents a roughly oval shape.

On the island, there is an island cloud cutting and processing factory visible to the naked eye.There are also some empty islanders coming and going, and some ships are moored on the sea of ​​clouds.

When huge airships flew over the island, it also caused a burst of chaos on the island, especially the huge scientific troop pattern outside the airbag of the airship.

The flag of the Science Corps, which is a cross of a hammer and a wrench, represents science as the main strength of the Science Corps.

However, the airship flew over quickly without stopping on the empty island.While reassuring the people of Sky Island, there is also a new worry.

What the hell are these forces with huge flying objects.Sky Islanders have always lived safely in the island cloud where they are, and generally do not go to other sky islands.

Therefore, the people of Sky Island have a kind of self-styled thinking.

There is no obstacle in the sky of the sky island. The huge size of the airship is in the sight of the people of the sky island, and it landed on the uninhabited island more than ten kilometers away.

With such a short distance, the entire empty island was also a sensation. The sudden appearance of such a huge man-made object was naturally eye-catching.The supreme ruler of this empty island, after receiving the news, quickly formed an exploration team, preparing to go to the island where the airship landed to check.

At this time, Richie has no plans to explore Sky Island on a large scale for the time being.

Now it is to occupy this island, first build this island into a base, and use it as a dock for airships.

Then use this base as the center to explore other sky islands around, and conduct research on various resources and principles of sky islands.

When the airships stopped one after another, the irresistible people quickly got out of the cabin. Since the airships had been flying at an altitude of [-] meters for several days, everyone had adapted to the operation at an altitude of [-] meters.

The landing force of the airship, the third regiment quickly disembarked and rushed towards the surroundings of the island, setting up a garrison mission for the entire island in the first place.

Then, the fourth regiment of the airship control force dispatched all fighters except the pilots and mechanics, and under the command of craftsmen and technicians, they moved the materials carried on the airship.

Tons and tons of materials were moved out of the airship, and then quickly sorted, and soon, simple factories were built one by one.

On the side of the island, a proposed shipyard also took shape. Under the leadership of the shipwrights, the workers were carrying shipbuilding tools, planks and other materials.

　Thanks to Shu Xiaoxi for the reward.
