Chapter 578 The World of the Strong

Although he was somewhat surprised by Shiki's enthusiasm, Xie Wen, who wanted to know where his air base was, certainly couldn't refuse the other party's invitation.

"Hahaha!"

Shiki was very happy to get Xie Wen's response. Originally, he planned to contact several pirate groups that he thought he could win over, but now...

Naturally, he postponed the work of recruiting "cannon fodder" and turned to strive for Xie Wen's support.

"In that case, let's go back! You just follow my pirate ship."

Shiki walked to the side of the Toot Toot, stretched out his hand and gestured twice, and the hovering airship in the distance immediately turned in a direction, and then he floated away from the deck of the Toot Toot and flew towards his own pirate ship.

Fearing that Xie Wen would misunderstand, he did not mention the intention of using the ability of the Float-Float Fruit to control the Toot Toot to act together, and even his hands were very quiet and did not touch the Toot Toot.

Xie Wen, who had been paying close attention to this, breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed worried that after he fell out with Shi Ji, the other party would use his ability to control the Duduhao or something, but now it seems that Shi Ji is still very sincere in wanting to form an alliance.

But in this way, wouldn’t it be difficult for him to fall out later?

After all, Shi Ji was planning to give him his "prosthetic limb"!

Of course, Xie Wen would never really let Shi Ji go just because of this little favor.

Besides...

Shi Ji still has a blind box of the Floating Fruit! So he can only "sorry" to him.

Xie Wen rubbed his chin and sighed in a fake manner.

"Brother Xie Wen, do we really have to cooperate with that old man? Klee doesn't like him very much. His "voice" sounds very bad."

(=ω=)

Seeing that Xie Wen really let the Duduhao follow, the little puppet gently pulled his ear to remind him.

"Of course not," Xie Wen rubbed Klee's little head and explained, "Didn't I hear that there is a strange plant called IQ? Let Xiao Ai go and see what's going on first."

Other things are not easy to explain, so Canglanxing, who wants to save trouble, simply pulls out Huiyuan Meow as an excuse...

Anyway, he had this plan in mind, and it's not that he is completely fooling Klee.

And the little puppet's observation Haki really didn't notice anything wrong. After getting a reasonable explanation, she turned around and laughed with the Duduhao.

On the other hand, Huiyuan Meow was very satisfied with Xie Wen's "deliberate" care for herself. She hugged his head and licked it a few times, then jumped off his shoulder and put her head next to Xie Wen's hand.

Xie Wen naturally stroked Huiyuan Meow's cat head very well.

...

"Well, this direction..."

After flying for a distance with Shiqi's pirate ship, Xie Wen, who had noticed something, took out the hunter's manual and opened the map.

On the dynamic map, the direction they were heading and their approximate destination were clearly visible.

"Is it really the Calm Belt?"

That's right, Shiki is PDST for bad weather like storms, and he is indeed not compatible with bad weather. The two major failures in the original work were related to the climate, so it is really reasonable for him to choose to put the base in the Calm Belt where there would be no wind or rain.

Even if we put aside these metaphysical things, from the perspective of safety and secrecy, the Calm Belt was originally Shiki's best choice.

The speed of the flying pirate ship controlled by Shiki's ability and able to receive wind and human acceleration is not slow, not to mention the Dudu. After switching to the Sky Comet Dragon form, only a few people in the world can catch up with her. Even in the floating dragon form, it can still accelerate by fire jet or electric transmission.

So soon, they came to the vicinity of the Calm Belt.

"Look, Brother Xie Wen! It's Sky Island, meow!"

(=`=)σ

Keli stood on his shoulder and pointed to the sky in the distance. Several islands that looked only the size of a palm were looming in the clouds.

Obviously, Shiki did not place the base too deep into the doldrums, but only placed it in the marginal area.

[Brother Xie Wen, that old pirate is coming again, meow. ]

(=ΦωΦ=)

The Toot, who was lying on top of Xie Wen's head, also made a "voice" to remind him, and then she jumped off Xie Wen's head and got into her body in a beautiful water-entering posture.

"Hahahaha!"

Before Shiki's people arrived, the iconic laughter had already come.

"Did you see it? That's the base of our Sky Pirates!"

After landing on the deck of the Toot, Shiki also pointed to the "Sky Islands" in the distance and said proudly.

Then...

He started dancing again.

Xie Wen: "..."

After another eye-catching dance, Shiki opened his arms to the sky and excitedly added the last name.

"STRONG-WORLD!!!"

Well, Xie Wen now finally knows where the "Strong World" in the name of the movie came from.

"So, these islands are not real sky islands, but you sent them to the sky with your fruit ability, meow?"

(=ω=)

Grayhara Meow couldn't help but say, "But the air pressure, temperature, etc. in the high altitude are different from those on the ground, right? Will this affect the growth of the plant called IQ, meow?"

Shiki looked at Huiyuan Meowth in surprise. He was not surprised that Huiyuan Meowth knew about Sky Island. After all, the Toot Toot could fly, and Sky Island was not a secret in the second half of the Grand Line. It was just because Dr. Indigo had said something similar.

"Hahahaha! So you are Xie Wen's ship doctor?" Shiki laughed after being surprised, and then patiently replied: "But you can rest assured about this. Vermeu was originally a high mountain island above the clouds. I just moved it from other places to the windless belt. The height did not change much."

"I see..." Huiyuan Meowth nodded in understanding, and then asked: "Then after we land on the island, can you give me some IQ to study meow?"

"Hahahaha! Of course no problem! If you need, I can even show you the research materials!"

Shiki promised very generously.

The reason why he was so generous, in addition to wanting to win over Xie Wen, the main reason was that he did not take Huiyuan Meowth seriously at all.

Shiki did a lot of research on the Felycat Survey Team, his long-cherished "ally", and naturally recognized that Meowth Gray was the "cat brain" with the lowest bounty in the entire survey team.

Maybe the bounty was low because the ship's doctor was not responsible for combat, but Shiki also didn't think that Meowth Gray's medical skills were very high.

After all, a cat fur tribe that obviously didn't look like an adult probably studied medicine for less than two years, and it was amazing that he could understand a little bit of medical skills and pharmacology. How could he know more about pharmaceutical research than his right-hand man, Dr. Indigo?

I guess even if Indigo's research materials were placed in front of this little cat, she wouldn't understand it.

Shiki thought with some amusement in his heart.
