Chapter 228
As the city in the sky sailed, it was unlike those ships that move in a straight line while sailing on the sea, the city in the sky was a bit special, it was moving on S-shaped, sometimes it will move to the left side then to right sides, as to facilitate some people who are not on the flight route, so they can board to the floating island.
This month, Carina and Robin, who are the deputy city lords have reached a cooperation with a company specializing in the sale of sailing tools, allowing the other party to dig up some earth with magnetic waves to make an eternal log as to let it be sold in the sailing tool stores all over the world.
In half a year, the City in the Sky will depart from the New World, then pass through the first half of the grand line, and then the four seas.
On average, they will stay in each sea area for a month, and to the sea area as the endpoint, they will stay for two months, and then change to another route while returning to the previous sea area in a constant cycle.
Staying in a certain sea area for a month is enough for El to do a lot of things.
At the altitude of five hundred meters from the sea surface, at this time, there was a large group of people on different directions boarding the city in the sky.
The city in the sky which is the center of the archipelago not only has cloud paths connecting the surrounding five floating islands.
There are also four long cloud paths, extending from four directions respectively that connect to the sea five hundred meters below.
These cloud paths are no different from seawater, ships can sail on them, and people can swim on them, but the two ends of the cloud paths are connected to the seawater as the city in the Sky is different from the other five islands, it is surrounded by vast seawater.
As the City in the Sky moves at an average speed, there is often a ship approaching from far and then after finding the right angle to drive into the long cloud path, they successfully board the City in the Sky.
At this time at the port city, there were already ten thousand ships parked there.
These ships compose of different sizes and colors, especially the various flags which make the tourists who come to the City in the Sky for the first time to be stunned for a while.
Some flags are a little obscure, then there are also Major forces, and even the flags from various countries, etc.
Except for the absence of the Navy, Mary Geoise, and the three other pirate emperors, most of the famous flags on the New World can be seen here.
Especially the flag from the underworld, except for Gild Tesoro, the others are all here.
There are the Donquixote family, shipping magnates, and even the District, etc...
Unlike its previous ghost town appearance, the port city is now crowded with people.
On the streets, there are also a large number of people wearing silver armor with the logos of flying pirates and Kuja pirates which are specially made for them.
The Kuja warriors still hold their bows and arrows while excluding a fierce aura that intimidates the people around them.
Especially the strong haki fluctuations around their body.
There is no doubt that all these female warriors are strong people, but what is even more shocking is the large beasts that they are riding which are at the level of the king of beasts.
There are some beasts that will even exude an aura that is even stronger than that of the Kuja warrior riding them, but such a powerful beast is so docile in front of them. It doesn't even show a fierce look to strangers around them, just like a tamed animal in a circus.
These are all the fierce beasts that Shiki created and after choosing the strongest beasts on all of them, they were fed a Dango Fruit by Tama, making them her pet that will try their best to complete whatever her order is.
The strength of each beast is no less than that of Luffy who has not mastered haki, that is, a supernova with a bounty of 100 million bellies.
In addition to them, there will also be at least two Kuja warriors on their backs. The combination of these two people and one beast, if placed in the first half of the grand line, it is at the level of emperor.
Even in the new world, it is still at the level of a powerhouse.
Such a combination is just a guard on the port city and there are as many as double digits.
When the pirates who were already afraid and dreaded El saw the Guardians of the city, they no longer dared to have an idea of causing trouble.
Thankfully they didn't have this idea. Otherwise, even if they successfully defeated the Kuja warriors, they would be hit by a bolt of lightning in the next second because, in addition to the two deputy city lords who manage the city affairs, this city in the sky also has a law enforcer who is above the guards.
That law enforcer is the only one whose observation can cover a large island, Lightning Sword sorcerer, Kuina.
At the same time, it is the only one other than El who has absolute control over the City in the Sky.
"Kuina, I'm going to go out for a while and I'll leave the City in the Sky to your hand~"
In the manor, El changed to his battle suit in the master room while looking at Kuina who was helping him to change his clothes with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will protect our home." Kuina nodded slightly and then showed an iceberg-like smile as she assured El.
Relying on his height which is higher than Kuina, El reached out and touched Kuina's head as he did to Carina and Nami, then he bowed his head and gave her a passionate kiss.
After a few minutes, El pinched Kuina's nose who did not look like an iceberg beauty at this time before going out of the room to find Carina, Violet, and Nojiko, and then taking them to Pegasus moored in the manor lake before leaving quietly.
Looking up at the departure of the Pegasus, Kuina did not return to the manor until the ship disappeared completely, then she came to the basement floor of the manor, and walked into a place where only the members of the flying Pirates knew, a control room.
Just after Kuina closed the door, a short while later, the sound of flickering electricity sounded inside the control room, and electric snakes of different sizes seeped out through the crack of the door.
If someone else is inside the room, they will find that the control room is already filled with blue and white lightning while forming a huge ball of energy in the control room.
Then all of these energies are absorbed by the machines installed inside the control room and transmitted to various places under the city in the sky.
At the same time, at the back of the city in the sky, there are strong winds surging out from the countless holes that support the city in the sky to move at an average speed.
If someone has an X-ray vision to the extreme, they will find that there are tens of thousands of golden snakes buried under the City in the Sky.
These golden snakes are now shining with blue electric light. At the end of the golden snake is an astonishing number of Dials, among them, are a huge number of extinct jet dials.
In addition to this, there are a large number of machines with complex structures.
The two only have one function, which is to create strong wind to propel the city in the sky.
This flying technology is what is going to keep the city in the sky to go back and forth to the new world and other seas this year.
When he took Yamato and Shirahoshi to explore sky island, he also take Nojiko who is newly joined around before going to Birka which was not destroyed by Enel using teleportation to find the Ark Maxim technology.
In order to integrate this technology into the City in the Sky, El has spent a lot of effort and also asked Doflamingo to find a research team, to successfully realize this method with the help of the Float-Float fruit.
El can't be in the City in the Sky forever and he also doesn't want to affect the city in the sky which carries their dreams to crash into the sea after encountering a strong and losing his consciousness.
Therefore, he has to solve the problem of the City in the Sky that once he loses his consciousness, it will fall into the Sea.
The technology of Ark Maxim and Kuina's Rumble-Rumble Fruit was the method he think of and also the reason why he can leave at ease.
Even if he is not there, the City in the Sky will move forward at an average speed.
So, even if he encounters a strong enemy and he is exhausted to the point of losing his consciousness, he is not afraid of the City in the Sky falling into the sea.
