“I’ll remember this grudge, Organ Dealing Assassination Group.” She had long developed a enmity towards Mariejois, but now there is one more.
No survivors were left behind on the ship. She had interrogated information about the wings, which increased the possibility of exposure. So, silencing them was the only choice, especially since they were all members of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group.
This is a group even more detestable than pirates.
“Queen, thanks for this time.”
Hearing this, Queen’s sunglasses almost fell into the sea, wondering if he should get a cochlear implant for himself. [TN: It can improve hearing.]
“You know how to express thanks???”
That is not correct. To be precise, Shayna saying it to him is the thing which is most absurd, but Shayna’s next words proved that she was still the same and hadn’t changed at all.
“Don’t get me wrong, I still hate you so-called researchers, but that’s a different matter. Next time when I can’t help but want to beat you up, you can mention this incident.”
Queen indeed deserves thanks for letting her know about the wings, but it was impossible for her to change her attitude towards him because of it.
“Exemption from beating?”
“No, but I will consider being more gentle.”
After that, Queen and Shayna returned to the ship. They handled things very cleanly, after all, the whole ship had been burned to ashes, and perhaps only the microorganisms in the ocean could find what they needed from it.
How could such eradication at the physical level not be clean?
“Lord Sacred Beast, there may be more than one ship pursuing the Millennial Dragon, but we have not found their tracks in the nearby area.”
This was the intelligence they received earlier. There were three ships pursuing the Millennial Dragons, and the other two were pursuing other Millennial Dragons.
They had circled around the nearby area, but did not see any signs of other ships.
“Pursue?How are they doing it?”
Millennial Dragons can fly, and if this one wasn’t injured, it would be impossible to catch up with it by just relying on wind-powered ships, and It’s unlikely for all Millennial Dragons to be injured. As long as they maintain their altitude, regular firearms cannot harm them.
“We don’t know. Anyway, Lord Sacred Beast, where are we going next?”
“To the Millennial Dragon’s home, it will guide us.”
The injured Millennial Dragon stood at the bow of the ship, flapping its wings towards the direction of the moonlight.
“[Midnight wings cut through the clouds, as moonlight guides the way towards the final destination.]”
This was the sentence previously translated by Olga. Now it seems that the moonlight is really guiding the way to Millennial Dragon’s homeland. The clouds in the sky closed in, and the moonlit path was gradually disappearing. Beasts Pirates’ ship followed the directions of the Millennial Dragon and moved forward.
However, even when they reached the end of the moonlight, no islands appeared before their eyes.
“There is nothing here, did this dragon lead us the wrong way?”
“No, it’s saying that we have arrived. Their habitat is….right above us.” Elizabeth translated Millennial Dragon’s words, looking incredulously above their heads.
“Above..Sky Island?”
Sky Island, one of the specialties of the pirate world, generally refers to islands in the sky. It is not a single island; there are Sky Islands in both the first half Paradise and the second half New World.
For the pirates and people of the New World, Sky Island is not too unfamiliar.
Not because there are more Sky Islands in the New World, but because Golden Lion created a few floating Sky Islands, although they are not as high as natural islands.
Although they are artificial, they are still a type of Sky Island.
And the sentence “[Midnight wings cut through the clouds, as moonlight guides the way towards the final destination.]” now has a more detailed answer.
This group of Millennial Dragons lives on Sky Island, and their main source of food is Sky Fish.
Sky Fish refers to fish that live in the White Sea high in the sky.
There were various clouds here, including Iron Clouds that are as hard as iron and String Clouds that can be used as ropes, Swamp Clouds like marshes, and the most common Sea Clouds.
The special sea formed by Sea Clouds is called the White Sea. These clouds are just like the sea water and ships can sail on them. There are also special fishes that live in them.
The altitude of Sky Islands is not uniform. The highest Sky Islands are generally located in the White Sea at an altitude of ten thousand meters, while the lower ones are at a few thousand meters.
There are two ways to reach Sky Islands. One is to find their hidden passage and climb up the ladder formed by the Sea Clouds, and the other is to find the Knock Up Stream.
The Sky Island where the Millennial Dragons reside is one of the lower Sky Islands, but from below, it is impossible to see any changes on top.
The treasure map’s “wings cut through the clouds” refers to when the Millennial Dragons hunt for Sky Fish. Their wings briefly cut through the sea clouds, allowing moonlight to shine through and illuminate the sea surface, and the destination is directly beneath that Sky Island.
However, this Millennial Dragon made a mistake. The path it led was correct, but it was the route for the Millennial Dragons to return home, not the landing site for human ships. The Millennial Dragon only needs to flap its wings to go up, but it’s not that easy for human ships.
The presence of a Knock Up Stream is not inherently tied to the existence of Sky Islands. Some Sky Islands are located near the Knock Up Stream, while other Sky Islands may not have this type of sea current nearby.
That is to say, although the Beasts Pirates’ ship is currently below the Millennial Dragons’ habitat, the only way to go up is by flying.
“Bosses! Look up…something seems to be falling from the sky!”
The lookout on the ship shouted to those below. As the moonlight began to disappear, with only the remaining slivers of moonlight, he could barely make out a few black shadows, but much of it was obscured from his view.
The black shadows were falling very quickly, and soon there was a series of splashes.
Not only human corpses were falling, but the bodies of Millennial Dragons and ship debris were also falling from the sky. It appeared that an unknown battle was taking place above.
The Millennial Dragon on the ship seemed to go crazy after seeing the dragon corpses and, ignoring its freshly stitched wounds, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
“Lord Sacred Beast, what should we do now?”
“Of course, we’re going up. Let everyone grab onto something and stabilize themselves.” Arceus said, stomping his foot. A surge of energy passed through the ship’s hull and into the sea, which soon began to churn.
Just as the members of the Beasts Pirates were stabilizing themselves, a sea current rushed out of the ocean and carried their ship towards the sky.
Since there was no Knock Up Stream present, he created one himself.
Splash Plate has the power to control water currents, and with it, Arceus created a Knock Up Stream that propelled the ship towards the sky.
