Pirate: I am Wang Lufei

"The Wind Knot is a knotted hemp rope, but it has the power to regulate the climate. Opening one knot will bring a breeze, the second one will bring a strong wind, and when the third one is opened, the wind will be so strong that it can blow down people and tables. When the fourth one is opened, it can summon a tornado that destroys everything..."

Hareda put his hands behind his back and watched Nami's operation with a peaceful look on his face. "You can use it after just watching it once? That's amazing."

"She is a very talented girl." An old lady smiled.

"Right? This person won't let you down." Lilith said with a smile.

"Wow, awesome! Is there some mechanism on this rope?" Uta touched the rope on Nami's hand.

Luffy was even more envious, "It's my turn, it's my turn, it's my turn to play!"

Luffy took the rope, tied a slipknot and pulled it apart, and then nothing happened...

"Hahahaha, Luffy you idiot!" They laughed at Luffy without hesitation.

"Why is this happening?"

Luffy looked at the rope in his hand, and tied it a few more times in disbelief. Then it became a knot and could not be untied no matter what he did.

"Haha, do you want to join us in Visalia?" Hareda asked.

"I'm afraid that won't work..." Nami took the rope back, tied four wind knots on it and handed it to Luffy.

"I'm a navigator."

"She is a navigator in the navy. You just stay here and teach her for the time being." Lilith said.

"Is that so? The time is a bit short, so I don't know how much you can learn, but it's okay." Hareda nodded.

Anyway, they are all idle meteorological scientists in Visalia. When they have no money, they take orders to manipulate the weather and make it rain. When they have money, they study climatology on the island. With the skills in their hands, they naturally have no worries about food and live a very leisurely life.

It's totally different from Vegapunk, who assigned himself countless scientific research tasks, divided one person into several people, and even had special people to be responsible for going to the toilet, eating and drinking.

As Visalia approached, the area of ​​the sky island on Egghead Island became much larger, and everyone ran to Visalia out of curiosity.

Visalia Island's climate is a self-contained system that is controlled by many climatologists, resulting in more frequent climate changes on the island, just like the Grand Line, but in a weakened version.

"This is for you." The old man Hareda made a cloud and gave it to Uta and the others.

"Is this... marshmallow?" Uta sniffed and asked curiously.

"It's cloud sugar, which can be understood as a specialty of Sky Island." Hareda said with a smile.

“So sweet and delicious!”

"This island is full of strange clouds..." said Guina as she looked at the various strange cloud decorations, weather balloons and other strange technologies on Visalia Island.

She was also very interested in the wind-attracting knot. After all, this thing was really magical.

She moved closer to Luffy and looked at the four knots on it.

Luffy got the toy woven by Nami. He first looked at the structure of the knot carefully, and then he couldn't resist the urge to play with his superpowers. After lifting it high, he pinched the rope and pulled it to both sides, straightening the knot in one breath.

Call ~

A violent storm suddenly appeared over the originally calm Visalia, and a tornado visible to the naked eye formed instantly. The huge suction power directly blew Uta and Nami high up, spiraled into the sky, and then fell down.

Nojigo reached out and hugged Nami, and Kuina also caught Uta.

The two ladies were furious and each punched Luffy on the head.

"Don't play with dangerous objects!"

"I just... want to learn..." Two bumps gradually appeared on Luffy's head.

"It's a very powerful wind knot." Robin looked at the windmill and weather balloon in the distance. "Mr. Hareda, the Sky Island is in the sky. Is it supported by clouds like this?"

"This is the Small Sky Island. We usually fly close to the ground, and the actual altitude is about 6,000 to 7,000 meters. The Big Sky Island is 10,000 meters in the sky." Haleda said.

"There are people living there. Although there are some ways to enter the Sky Island through the Four Seas and the Channels, few people know about it. In addition, information is not circulated, so many people just think it is a legend."

Hareda said.

"Are all the people living in heaven angels?" Bai Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Most of them have white wings, but that's just a customary decoration, not something they are born with," explained Hareda.

"I really want to see with my own eyes what the people of Sky Island, 10,000 meters in the sky, look like. We are the people 10,000 meters under the sea."

Shirahoshi said with longing.

"I don't know when we can go to the Big Sky Island. Time seems a bit tight. The most important problem is how can we fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters." Nami thought seriously.

"And Lilith lied to me and said this is almost 10,000 meters. It's still very far away."

"In Vegapunk's concept, this is already close. After all, he wants to turn the future into reality," said Hareda with a smile.

Hareda's home is on the top floor of Visalia, a small sky island. This is also proof of his academic ability. Although the people of this island and this country are all scientists, scientists also have strong and weak strengths. Hareda's identity is similar to that of a leader, equivalent to the dean of the research institute.

"This is my home now. I will concentrate on tutoring you from now on." Hareda said to Nami.

“Every meteorologist here will be your companion and teacher.”

As they were talking, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. Luffy and the others' clothes were gradually soaked. Only Harada had a circle of strange white light on his body, and all the rain avoided that circle of light.

Is this another climate measure?

Luffy thought strangely, it was the same before, he clearly used the Wind-Calling Knot to create a tornado, but Hareda, an old man, was not affected by the wind at all.

"Yes, I understand. I will study hard here from now on." Nami nodded.

"Everything here is made of clouds, just like heaven!"

Uta looked at Hareda’s room, the table made of clouds, the bed made of clouds, the sofa made of clouds. Sitting in it felt like being wrapped in clouds. It was so cute!

Uta was already rolling on the cloud sand.

"Hey, this, how much is it? I want to buy one too!" Uta swallowed, with little stars twinkling in his eyes.

"It's not worth much, but we are short of craftsmen on our island, so they usually go to the Big Sky Island to trade. If you want, you can ask Vegapunk to customize it. He should have reversed the principle and built his own small Sky Island."

Hareda said to Uta.

"Uta-chan, can you give grandma an autograph?" An elderly lady with gray hair, glasses and a peaceful face came to Uta with a cane.

"Ah! Fans?!"

Still very old!

Uta was shocked.

"We also have a radio Den Den Mushi sent by Vegapunk. We have received your radio station. Your voice is very lovely. I have always wanted to meet you, but I don't know where you are..."

"I see! Thank you so much for liking my song!" Uta hugged the old lady and rubbed her kind face affectionately.

"What should we do if we want to go to Sky Island?" Nami couldn't help but ask.

“The first way is to fly up.

The second method is to find a monster current and let the ocean weather carry the ship up, but the hull needs to be stronger, otherwise it will fall apart."

Hareda said.

After all, a ship is thrown into the air 10,000 meters above sea level in just a few seconds, so the ship must be strong enough.

"Monster current..." Nami and Robin recited the word at the same time.

This is a general term for the terrifying ocean currents in the Grand Line, which are like giant sea monsters.

All terrible ocean currents are counted as monster currents.

Hareda was talking to himself, "For example, the rising current at the location of Gaya Island, the current there will spray into the sky like a volcanic eruption every once in a while. If a ship passes by there, it will be washed to the sky island 10,000 meters away by the force of the current. Of course, it is also possible that the ship is not strong enough, and the world is broken by the force of the current, and then the ship falls to death..."

"I see……"

"I would like a flying cloud ship, like this island!"

Luffy couldn't help but say enviously.

The little sky island of Visalia is truly outstanding.

The flying speed is not slow, it can turn freely, it is sturdy, and has more space for movement than a ship. Damn, I want it so much!

"Let's start a new round of ship transformation plan. I want a super cloud ship that can fly!" Luffy ran excitedly to Eggman Island to discuss this matter with Old Bay.

"Vegapunk is a money-grubber." Hareda looked at Luffy who disappeared after a few flashes and touched his white beard.

"Is that a naval hero? Are you his navigator?" Hareda looked at Nami again.

"Yes!" Nami nodded vigorously, "Even if it is the end of the world, I will find a way to get there!"

"Haha... the end of the world?"

"Luffy, wait for me, I also want to design a new home!" Uta couldn't help but imagine the cloud ship, and followed Luffy excitedly.

"A cloud boat?" Robin thought of a boat made of cotton.

"The Island in the Sky? I'm really looking forward to it!" Tashigi thought about this bizarre thing with emotion, and felt deeply that the world is so big that there are islands and pedestrians even at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

There shouldn't be a naval headquarters up there. After all, I've never heard of it and just thought it was a legend.

"Lilith, I would like you to help me transform my ship!"

Luffy found Lilith who was working and said, Lilith frowned when she heard this:

"What about the money? Do you have money? Vegapunk doesn't do business that loses money. I'm not one of those guys who are too upright!"

"So what kind of design would you come up with?" Luffy asked.

He looked at Lilith's office drawings and found that she was designing a new generation of weather gun. This gun needs to be held with both hands, similar to a rifle, but much larger than a rifle.

"I can design any plan, depending on how much money you give me!" said Lilith.

"This is a gun for your navigator. Isn't it great? I made her able to deal with even espers."

"Sure, sure. But it's too big, right?" Luffy said.

“It feels hard to store.”

"Don't worry about that. On a certain island, there is a plant called POP GREEN. It has rapid growth and diverse attack characteristics. As long as you pay, I can ask someone to deliver the goods to you." Lilith said.

"You are really greedy for money. Can't you just give it a waiver? How about putting it on the navy's account?" Luffy asked.

"Then ask Zhan Guo to send the money to me first!" Lilith put her hands on her hips, looking like anyone who came would have to give her money.

"Okay, but I still don't know how much money I have. Do you have a bank here? I want to check the account." Luffy took out two bank cards and asked Lilith.

Fortunately, I had property in Alabasta before, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get the Vegapunk Coins. What a stingy guy.

Luffy secretly rejoiced.

Lilith took out a POS machine, of course, also a biological version, a Telephone Bug Snail, probably a bank-specific model.

Luffy first checked the navy's bank card. The snail swallowed the bank card directly into its stomach, and then told Lilith the number: "300 million Baileys."

"Only 300 million Baileys?" Luffy frowned slightly.

"Isn't this normal income for the navy? If a major general doesn't spend money recklessly, this is probably the amount he earns."

"After all, I have defeated a lot of bounty-hungry criminals..." Luffy muttered in disgust.

"What about this card?" Luffy handed the Alabasta bank card to Vegapunk again.

As Den Den Mushi Snail swiped its card, it coldly spat out a number that shocked Lilith.

"Ten... fifteen hundred billion?!!!"

For a rear admiral, this amount of money was definitely ill-gotten; it was more than the bounty of the Four Emperors.

Lilith's eyes immediately burst into love eyes, and finally turned into the symbol of a banknote. She grabbed Luffy's collar, looked around furtively, and pressed the anti-eavesdropping button.

"How can you, a rear admiral, have so much money? Tell me the truth, did you steal your grandfather's bank card?"

Am I that kind of person?

Luffy shushed and raised a finger, "Don't tell anyone."

Lilith made an OK gesture.

Vegapunk is a being that can be kidnapped with money.

Luffy plopped down in the chair in his office, "Lilith."

He crossed his legs, looking like a big boss.

"I'm here!"

"Let's talk about what you can do, the world's greatest genius scientist, Vegapunk!"

The new weather gun uses POP GREEN as a material carrier. When necessary, it can be magnified into a single-soldier rocket launcher according to the user's will, and its power and firing rate will be increased several times.

"Finally found!"

The door of the laboratory was opened by Uta, and she looked at Lilith and Luffy breathlessly.

"Luffy, Luffy, wait for me! The houses here are so big, I'm lost!" Uta complained and looked at Lilith nodding and bowing in surprise.

"What are you doing?"

"Because I was eager to transform the ship and was so excited, I ran faster than sound," said Luffy.

"As for Lilith...I am her investor now."

He crossed his arms and sighed.
