Chapter 576 Grand Leader
Xie Wen didn't know that a certain Face Fruit ability user was coming towards him. Guided by the Monster Hunter map, the Dudu had already arrived near the mobile island.
Well, there was an endless sea in front of him.
"It doesn't look like Tezoro's Golden Ship..."
Xie Wen sighed regretfully, then looked up at the sky.
Although there were many strange creatures on the Golden Lion's island, Xie Wen remembered that they seemed to have evolved through human intervention, so even if they were included in the illustrations, it would probably just update the maximum size or add a few subspecies, and the possibility of summoning tickets appearing was relatively low.
Tezoro's Golden Ship was different. As the world's largest consumer and entertainment center, the probability of famous swords and devil fruits appearing on it was very high, and there were more fruit ability users on Tezoro's side. Just opening the blind box should be able to open one or two fragments.
But no matter what, it was Shiki who ran into him at the moment, so he could only go to trouble him first.
I just don't know how high Shiqi raised his islands. Anyway, Xie Wen can't see anything unusual in the sky with his naked eyes.
"Huh? So you want to go to Gulan Tezoro, meow?"
(=ω=)
Hua Mei meow shook her ears and looked at Xie Wen sideways, "Then why don't you just ask Mr. Morgans or Aunt Xia for the permanent pointer there? Those pointer merchants should have some for sale meow."
"...Huh?"
"That's the most famous entertainment city in the world, and the location is of course open to the public meow."
Sir Xiang Feihu said as a matter of course.
Right!
Xie Wen suddenly realized.
Damn! I'm stuck in inertial thinking!
Because I remember that Gulan Tezoro is an island ship like Moria's horror barque, and the moving island of Zou can't be captured by the recording pointer, so Xie Wen subconsciously thought that it can't use the pointer to record the position.
But the actual situation is that the Terror Bark cannot record magnetism because it is an island moved from the South China Sea, and Zou is not a real island, but an elephant.
But Gulan Tezoro is different from both. It was transformed from an island in the Grand Line, so there is magnetism for the recording pointer to record.
And the same is true for the islands that were moved to the sky by Shiqi. They originally existed in the Grand Line, and they should be captured by the recording pointer like the half of Gaia Island on the Sky Island.
"Ahem... Dudu, fly up and take a look!"
Xie Wen, who was a little embarrassed, patted the railing of Dudu and changed the subject stiffly.
[Dudu! Transform and set off! ]
(=><=)
The ship elf lying on Xie Wen's head waved his arms excitedly, and the ship under her feet switched to the Sky Comet Dragon form under her control, drawing a huge "J" above the sea surface, and flew towards the clouds above her head with an extremely fast posture.
The speed of the Dudu Sky Comet Dragon is naturally not to be underestimated. Before Shiki, who was on his way, could react, Xie Wen and his companions had already arrived at the "corner of the island"...
"Well, it turns out that it is not just passing by the island, but this thing is originally only this small."
Xie Wen looked at the flying ship in front of him that was transformed from a super small island, and scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
By the way, Shiki's islands seem to stay in fixed places, and usually only his pirate ship is flying around.
Xie Wen, who finally remembered this, felt a little uncomfortable...
Not being able to see those rare and exotic animals is a small matter. The key is that he remembered that there were a group of natives on the island. If Shiki was killed now, once the island fell without the ability to maintain the Float-Float Fruit, those people would basically not survive.
Although at the end of the theatrical version, the indigenous people have evolved the ability to fly, the current time is two years earlier than the time of the theatrical version. The "evolution value" of the indigenous people is probably not accumulated enough, and Xie Wen can't bet on the probability of their breakthrough at the critical moment of life and death.
If he doesn't know, there is no way. Now that he knows, Xie Wen will never do such a thing, otherwise what is the difference between him and those celestial dragons he despises.
As for secretly following behind Shi Ji's pirate ship, it is obviously impossible...
The sound of the Dudu Tianhelong is not small when it flies, and if I remember correctly, Shi Ji's pirate ship also has the ability of remote monitoring, which is probably designed to be able to better view the sea surface conditions in the air.
In fact, there is a similar device on the Dudu, but later it summoned the more useful cat radar Sharmi, and this device was basically not used.
After the appearance of the ship spirit of the Dudu, this thing is even more useless.
Just when Xie Wen was depressed, he found that Shi Ji on the Dudu was also a little panicked.
That's right, he, Shiki the Golden Lion, was a great pirate who could compete with Roger the Pirate King, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know himself.
The injury on his head and the disability of his legs have reduced his strength a lot, and it is very difficult for him to even use his Haki now.
If it were just like this, Shiki would still have the confidence to fight Xie Wen, because he has developed the ability of the Floating Fruit to an extremely high level. Even without Haki, he has the confidence to fight with other strong men.
But there is a premise here, that is, the opponent does not have the ability to control the weather.
Bad weather is the absolute nemesis of the Float-Float Fruit, so Shiki spent a lot of time and money to build an excellent team of navigators.
In Shiki's original fate, he also had a grudge with Luffy because of the weather, and then he was defeated by Luffy because of the weather.
But in Xie Wen's team, there is a cat who can control lightning.
If Shiki knew that in addition to Sharmi who controls lightning, there is also a Meower who can make frost and snow fall and a Kaido who can call the wind and rain, he would definitely be more than "a little" panicked.
However, Shiki is an old pirate after all. Although he is a little panicked and his head is a little crazy because of the rudder, he will never retreat and admit defeat in front of a junior like Xie Wen.
Then, Xie Wen saw Shiki, who was wearing a yellow robe, had exaggerated long hair, a bald head and half a rudder, walking out of the cabin of the huge airship.
What slightly puzzled Xie Wen was that Shiki was from the same generation as Roger and Whitebeard, but he looked much younger. Except for the bald head that might have appeared because of the rudder, his long and dense blond hair and black beard made him look not like the famous figure 20 years ago, but rather like the same generation as Kaido.
However, whether Shiki looked young or was really young, this flying "golden lion" was not as pleasing to the eye as the golden lion in Monster Hunter...
Just as Xie Wen was complaining, Shiki left the airship alone and flew towards the Toot, which had switched to the floating dragon form, and then stopped at a "safe distance" more than ten meters away.
"Hahaha! Isn't this the recently famous "Blue Star" and Fey Cat Investigation Team? I didn't expect to meet you here. I have heard of your name for a long time and have long wanted to meet you! "
Floating in the air, Shiki pretended to be heroic and greeted Xie Wen.
Of course he knew how Xie Wen treated pirates before, but didn't Xie Wen have a falling out with the World Government?
In addition, Shiki took the initiative to come forward and talk to him. There was another very important reason that he didn't think Xie Wen took the initiative to find him. After all, his pirate ship had been hiding in the clouds, and Xie Wen couldn't know his position in advance.
In addition, although he also wanted to compete for the position of Pirate King, Shiki wanted to retaliate against the World Government, otherwise he wouldn't have buried his head in research for 20 years just to destroy the East China Sea... This didn't help him at all in his fight for the position of Pirate King.
And Xie Wen, who attacked and killed the Celestial Dragons and destroyed Saint Mary Joa, was completely an ally that Shiki could win over.
"Oh... hello, hello, but..."
Hearing Shiki's greeting, Xie Wen also realized that the other party regarded this meeting as a coincidence, so the despicable Blue Star decisively pretended not to know Shiki at all.
"...Who are you?"
