Chapter 177 Go to Banaro Island and Wait for Ace to Pick You Up!
Near Gaya Island, Luffy and his gang rode the turbulent upwelling currents, galloping up like a group of wild horses.
With all the members screaming and cheering, they finally successfully reached the first level of the sky island - the White Sea.
At the same time, Blackbeard and his team were driving a newly built solar sail pirate ship, returning to the blue planet at lightning speed.
At this moment, Luffy's team below and Xiao's fleet above happened to pass by each other.
"Hey, isn't this the Straw Hat boy?"
Badgers stood on the side of the ship, wearing a mask but showing a kind smile, waving to Luffy and saying hello.
Seeing this, Luffy responded very politely: "Oh, Uncle Mask, have you just come back from the Sky Island?!" His eyes flashed with excitement and he couldn't wait to ask, "Is it fun up there? Tell me quickly! !"
"Ah~, hurry up and play, it's super interesting, there are surprises everywhere, Weihahahaha!!"
Badgers glanced at Robin, seeming to notice something interesting, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
However, the two sides were pressed for time and had no time to talk more. They passed by each other in the blink of an eye and went their separate ways.
However, just as Luffy and his party continued upwards and entered the real White Sea of Sky Island, just as they arrived at the Sky Island, suddenly three figures wearing steel wings descended from the sky and surrounded them tightly.
Each of these members of the Wings of Steel held a sharp sword, the blade of which shone with dazzling golden energy.
"Heaven...angel?" Facing the strange sight in front of them, Luffy and the others' eyes widened and they were so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
The Straw Hats' eyes were shining, staring intently at the angels suspended in mid-air, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Those who grieve will be burned with flames, and those who have fallen will not be forgiven!"
"Sinner~"
Many steel angels stared closely at the burning black sin above Robin's head, and released their fierce killing intent without hesitation.
Faced with this sudden change, Luffy quickly explained: "Hey! Why are you attacking Robin? We are not your enemies!"
However, the battle between the two sides was about to break out, and there was no room for maneuver. The Steel Wings wielded flaming swords in their hands and killed Robin.
Luffy's excuse had no effect, because in the eyes of those fanatical believers, the will of the gods was supreme, and the guilty must bear severe punishment.
Zoro held the word Wadao in his mouth, and held a sharp blade in each hand. This is Zoro's three-sword style, and it also means that he is serious.
Sauron steadily resisted the flaming sword attacking Robin. He shouted at the top of his voice to Luffy: "Stop talking, Luffy, look at the marks on their wings, they are all Black Sun cultists~"
Hearing this, Luffy instantly thought of the Black Sun cultists he had met in Alabasta after seeing the sinners, and he immediately understood that trying to reason with these guys was a fool's errand.
So, he decisively changed his strategy and shouted loudly: "Knock them all away!!"
As he spoke, he had already taken a stance and prepared to fight, but suddenly, Luffy felt weak all over his body, dizzy, and his fists had no strength.
Not only Luffy, but also the other two combat powers, as well as the rest of the people, also experienced a similar situation after moving at high speed, and were cut down to the ground by the angels in a few strokes.
Just when the group was desperate, a neighing sound was heard, and a pink Pegasus galloped over. Riding on the Pegasus was a knight in full armor, and the Straw Hats and the others were rescued.
"False God~~"
"Your existence is a blasphemy against the Lord of the Black Sun!"
"Kill him!"
As soon as the knight appeared, the Iron Wings immediately gave up on Robin. In terms of belief, heretics are far more worthy of death than sinners.
But perhaps due to fate, Ganfuer quickly got rid of the three Iron Angels without any danger, and found Luffy and his party again.
"I am Sky Knight Ganfor~"
…
…
"I didn't expect that Nico Robin was carrying such a high level of guilt. This battle is becoming more and more interesting!"
Badgers rolled around on the deck with a long smile. When he thought of the behavior of the group of justice angels on the empty island, he couldn't help but smile even more.
"It's useless. Fate favors the Straw Hats so much that it will never allow them to encounter misfortune. No one except the captain can defeat this mysterious fate!"
Poison Q slowly put away the neatly arranged tarot cards. Recently, for some unknown reason, he became obsessed with these magical cards and was always keen on performing various divination.
Just now, he divined a fortune for the Straw Hats and came to the conclusion that there was no danger and a lot of rewards.
You must know that even if he faces the Steel Wings equipped with flaming swords, his chances of winning are slim.
However, not only are the Straw Hats safe and sound, but they are actually very successful. It's almost like fate is chasing them to feed them, which is really enviable.
"Tsk, don't spoil my fun!"
Badgers sat up from the ground with an unhappy expression on his face. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well continue exercising to pass the time.
"The captain has arrived at Blue Star, what should we do next?"
Van Oka controlled the Queen Anne's Revenge to land steadily on the sea, and maintained communication with other people through the cyber dimension.
"Let's go to Banaro Island first. We'll wait there for Ace to take the bait automatically!"
Xiao was concentrating on studying the human model carefully made by Diana. When he received the call, he immediately responded nonchalantly, and then devoted himself to the heated discussion with Diana.
Although Diana referred to a lot of the most ideal data when shaping her face, it still needs to be continuously improved and perfected.
However, in any case, she is not a pure human being after all. There are inevitably some defects and shortcomings in some aspects, and she doesn't understand where human happiness lies.
Especially in actual use, people may feel uncomfortable or not smooth enough, so this requires Xiao to help her find and dig out these problems and improve them.
"Target-Banaro Island! Let's go!"
After receiving the order and clarifying the destination, Van Oka returned to his seat to continue practicing his domineering.
At this time, the entire ship was completely controlled by an advanced artificial intelligence system, and it was moving slowly and leisurely on the sea.
In fact, on the great route, if there were no annoying chaotic magnetic interference, and it was simply sailing in a straight line, the speed was actually quite amazing.
Although the Queen Anne's Revenge relied on wind and waves all the way, it took only two days to reach Banaro Island.
