Chapter 147 "Sky Island Fishing"! The Hatred from Roger
Like a deep-sea behemoth, the black submarine, under the precise control of the maid crew, sped towards the "White Paradise" sky island in the New World, following the Roger Pirates' elusive route as described in the intelligence.
Brian stood in the command cabin of the warship, flanked by three of the strongest mythical beast-type monster girls: Boros, Agni, and Leona.
A 3D flight path map floated inside the command cabin, reflected on a huge screen, clearly marking the last detected location of the Roger Pirates and their estimated ascent path.
"Roger's target is the Sky Island, which is suspicious in itself." Brian tapped his fingers lightly on the command console, his eyes deep. "He wouldn't make a pointless statement; there must be something he wants there."
Boros analyzed in a deep voice, "The peculiarity of the Sky Islands lies in their inherent isolation and the ancient civilization that is cut off from the surface world. If Roger is after the historical texts, then the ancient ruins of the Sky Islands are indeed worth exploring."
Agni seemed eager to try: "Who cares what he's doing there? Since Master has decided to intercept him, let's just sink him cleanly! I'm looking forward to fighting that future Pirate King."
Leona remained calm; she had only one goal: to ensure the safety of her master, Brian.
Brian's lips curled into a cold smile: "No need to rush. This battle will be of a very high standard. Roger's crew has more than just one strongman; every member of that ship deserves our full effort."
To ensure secrecy and the element of surprise, Brian ordered the warships to begin submersion before entering the "White Sea" area beneath the sky island.
By accurately calculating the upwelling currents, warships can cleverly ride on the "upwelling currents" without relying on any external power.
This is a unique sight in the New World. While Sky Islands are rare in the New World, they are not too few. It's not as troublesome as it was for Luffy and his crew when they had to wait for the arrival of the Sky Current during the first half of the Grand Line in the original story.
The New World benefits from its unique environment and the special ocean currents that propel it to the sky islands, eliminating the need to wait, as is the one they are currently navigating.
Three days later, the warship broke through the clouds and came to a steady stop in a quiet cloud layer on the outskirts of the sky island.
This floating island is named "White Wall," after the cumulonimbus clouds that surround it, resembling a giant white city wall. The island is home to many unique cloud-dwelling plants, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of clouds and the faint aroma of lightning. At the island's center, an ancient, Mayan-style ruin looms in the mist.
Brian wasted no time; his powerful Observation Haki emanated from his body as he scanned the sky island ahead.
Soon, the Observation Haki transmitted definite news: the Roger Pirates' ship, the "Oro Jackson," was anchored in a hidden cloud harbor at the heart of the island's ruins.
"They've arrived." Brian stood up, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
"Everyone, prepare to land on the island. Boros, Agni, Leona, you will take all the ancient monster girls and follow me. The rest of the monster girls and the maids will stay on the warship."
"At the same time, everyone remaining on duty should remain vigilant and immediately release a signal flare to notify others in case of any unusual situation."
"Yes, Master!"
Brian's deployment this time demonstrates his emphasis on the Roger Pirates.
He brought along the legion's most elite combat force, including three mythical beast-type and six ancient-type monster girls.
This configuration is comparable to that of a super pirate crew in the New World, only weaker than the Rocks Pirates, which are far beyond their capabilities.
Ten figures silently landed at the edge of the Sky Island ruins. Most of the ruins here were covered by cloud-covered vegetation, making them appear tranquil and mysterious.
Instead of hiding his whereabouts, Brian used his powerful Observation Haki to lock onto the captain of the Roger Pirates.
"Go ahead, make a big enough noise to attract their attention," Brian said to Berlos.
"Yes, Master!"
Boros grinned excitedly, and his entire body instantly burst into orange-black ghostly flames.
Instead of using a large-scale attack, she gathered flames in her arms and shot them into the depths of the ruins like two black pillars of fire, leaving a trail of charred marks with each step.
boom!
A devastating fire shockwave erupted at the heart of the ruins, instantly shattering the surrounding ancient stone walls. The ghostly flames of Belos, possessing a unique corrosive quality, spread rapidly, transforming the core area of the ruins into a scorched inferno.
The enormous sound shattered the silence of the Sky Island and caused the cumulonimbus clouds surrounding the "White Jade" to churn violently, like a boiling ocean.
Thick black smoke, accompanied by broken rocks, shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.
"Roar~~"
"Ah~~"
Almost at the same time as the explosion, several figures rushed out from deeper within the ruins like enraged wild beasts.
They were focused on exploring and copying the historical text when the sudden explosion and the evil aura of ghostly flames made them instantly aware of the enemy's attack.
Leading the group was a swift black shadow—Silbaz Rayleigh, the "Pluto." His longsword was still sheathed, yet his entire body radiated an extremely sharp sword aura and powerful Armament Haki, his gaze sweeping over the approaching enemies like a hawk's.
"Hey! Who set off fireworks up there?! They ruined my good mood!"
A wild and angry voice followed immediately. It was Bronze, one of the vice-captains of the Gold, Silver and Bronze trio, Jabba the First Mate, who was said to be able to subdue giants and have children.
His clothes were covered in lime and dust, indicating that he had just been exploring deep within the ruins.
Behind Jabba, Captain Roger strode out. When he saw the charred sea of fire and Brian and his men standing on the edge of the flames, the smile on his face vanished completely, replaced by a sharp alertness and a hint of murderous intent.
The crew behind him, including the ship's doctor Crocus, the tall giant crew member, and an archer skilled with a bow, all wore expressions of hostility.
Boros's attack was like shoving fish, completely waking up the Roger Pirates' ship, causing them all to lose their temper and defenses.
Roger's gaze lingered for a moment on the eerie figure of Berlos, engulfed in ghostly flames, before settling on Brian's leisurely and composed demeanor.
Upon seeing Brian's face, Roger instantly felt a jolt of rage, immediately recalling the scene a few months ago when Rocks treated him like a dog and kicked him out of the New World, and his anger flared up instantly.
"Brian of the Beasts, a high-ranking officer of the Rocks Pirates, I've wanted to meet you for a long time!!!"
His seemingly casual words carried an extreme killing intent that soared to the heavens!
