One Piece: Arrival on Sky Island at the beginning

New World, Wano Country.

Under the night sky, countless Kongming lanterns soar into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

This scene not only represents the official end of the Wano Country Fire Memorial Ceremony, but also represents the arrival of the new year.

Time crossed from 1498 to 1499 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Under the dark night, the highest point of Ghost Island.

In the Japanese-style loft above the huge skull, Kaido, the captain of the Beast Pirates, looked solemnly at the sky lantern in the sky, picked up the huge wine gourd next to him, drank it in a few sips, and then felt unhappy. He slammed the wine gourd on the ground and shouted.

"Another year has passed. It's too slow, it's really too slow..."

After finishing speaking, he turned back and looked at the five people behind him.

No, to be precise, it was three people.

These three people, two men and one woman, are all very tall and full of strength.

These three people are Kaido's recently promoted subordinates, who were given the name of True Fighter and those with the ability to eat the three animal devil fruits traded with Ye Mu.

In order of strength, they are:

The person with the ability to eat the fruit of the animal-type hippopotamus is a burly man named Gedra.

The person with the ability to eat the animal-type monkey fruit is a very lanky man from the Long-Handed Tribe named Ila.

A person with the ability to eat the fruit of an animal-type rattlesnake. She is a voluptuous and beautiful female swordsman named Karami who spits out snake-shaped seeds.

It has to be said that from the current cooperation between the Beasts Pirates and the Sky Pirates, the Beasts have taken a big advantage.

Even for a great pirate like Kaido, it is not easy to get three animal devil fruits at once.

In this sea, the existence of Devil Fruit is not known to many people, and even if they know it, most of them will only eat it themselves after discovering it, and it can be said that there are very few people who trade it.

Therefore, after Kaido obtained these three Devil Fruits, he immediately found the three strongest and most trustworthy people among all his subordinates and let them eat these three Devil Fruits.

The benefits of this are obvious.

These three guys were not weak to begin with, and after eating the animal devil fruit, they improved by leaps and bounds.

Although he is still far behind Jhin and Quinn, in the entire Beast Pirates, he has become one below four people and above ten thousand people.

This greatly alleviated the manpower problem of the Beast Pirates.

The suppression of those disobedient samurai in Wano Country also began to become easier.

But even so, Kaido was still very dissatisfied.

Judging from the intelligence, the new world is now in complete chaos.

If we say that after the navy and the world government withdrew from the new world, the pirates in the new world were relatively restrained in their fight for territory.

Well, a month ago, Captain John, one of the overlords of the new world and one of the three giants of the Silver Ax Pirates, with a bounty of 23 billion berries, was killed by Ye Mu from the Sky Pirates. , the whole new world became chaotic.

The death of Captain John means that the Silver Ax Pirates can be said to have lost an arm and their strength has been greatly reduced.

Countless big pirates who had previously succumbed to the majesty of these overlords and were unwilling to have other ideas began to take action.

Among them, the fastest one is Kaido’s acquaintance, Charlotte Lingling of the Big Mom Pirates.

That old woman, after hearing about John's death, immediately led her pirate group to leave Ten Thousand Kingdoms and launched a crusade against the Silver Ax Pirates.

The other pirate groups followed closely behind.

The Silver Ax Pirates originally had many internal conflicts due to the system of the three giants.

If this conflict had not erupted due to the three pillars of conflict when John was here, then after John's death, the conflict between Silver Ax and Wang Zhi completely erupted.

Under such circumstances of internal and external troubles, the Silver Ax Pirates lost more than half of their chassis in a month.

He completely fell from his position as the overlord of the new world.

After seeing this information, it was impossible for Kaido not to feel anxious.

No matter how you look at it, the more chaotic the world is, the better it is for them as pirates.

If everything stabilizes, although Kaido is not afraid of war, the price of replacing him will definitely be high at that time. Therefore, Kaido is very dissatisfied now and will say such words as "too slow".

He is now more and more eager to get the country of Wano.

Only after obtaining this country can he take time to deal with other pirates.

"How is the negotiation with Orochi going? Has he agreed to our establishment of an arsenal?"

Sitting in front of the three real fighters, Quinn, as one of the big posters, naturally knew that Kaido was asking this question, so he spoke.

"That boy Orochi is very naughty. He always uses Kozuki Oden as an excuse to frustrate us. If we don't kill Kozuki Oden, he probably won't agree."

Kaido's breath suddenly froze, frightening the three newcomers to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.

"Is there any information about the Sky Pirates?"

"this......"

Quinn thought for a moment and said.

"They seem to have disappeared. Not only us, but also the navy and the world government can't find them. Recently, the spies of the world government have been very active in the New World."

"Is that so? Where do you think they are hiding?"

"I really can't guess this. The new world is too big. If we can't even find the navy and the world government, it will be even more difficult for us. However, I have a guess that they may be hiding in the windless zone."

"Ok!"

Not only Kaido, but everyone present including Jhin and the three real fighters were shocked.

How could a pirate not understand the dangers of the Windless Zone?

Even ordinary sea kings are already a nightmare for many pirates, let alone those super large sea kings in the windless zone.

Quinn said unsurely when he saw this.

"I can't be sure. This is just a guess of mine. When I was trading with the Sky Pirates, I sailed with their pirate ship for a few days. During those few days, I kept paying attention to their pirate ship. Although, I I haven’t been inside, so I can’t know its internal structure, but judging from the external structure, it seems to be different from ordinary pirate ships. I once worked with that man from Vegapunk..."

Having said this, Quinn also looked at Kaido and Jhin cautiously, and saw that they only had sullen faces and didn't react much before continuing.

"He once proposed the technology of allowing ships to travel in windless zones. At that time, I thought it was just a fantasy. But after meeting with the Sky Pirates and returning, I focused on collecting their intelligence, and I discovered that, It seems that they may really have mastered this technology. Not to mention that in the first half of the Grand Line, the Navy had racked their brains to catch them, but was still unable to do anything. It was the first time they appeared on the Grand Line. Fifteen days later, Just reaching Donghailuoge Town is the most direct evidence that we have crossed the windless zone."

At this time, Kaido and Jhin really believed Quinn's speculation.

At this time, I heard Quinn continue to say a little unsurely.

"However, if this is true, it might not be a good thing for us beasts?"
