Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

"Um... huh..."

Crocodile's eyes turned black, and the thunderous thunder echoed in his ears, and his head was a little messy.

Gradually, the thunder subsided, and Crocodile finally regained consciousness.

You seem to... fainted?

No, no, it was just a brief absence.

In Crocodile's impression, the last scene he saw was Rowan propping up a huge barrier of gravel with one hand, blocking all the endless thunderbolts.

Then, because he didn't expect those thunderbolts to explode, Crocodile was the first to receive a violent frontal impact and seemed to be swept away.

"Huh..."

After taking a deep breath, Crocodile finally recovered and opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was the snow-white ocean below.

That is the "White Sea" that only exists near the empty island and has the same characteristics as the ordinary sea. Those with Devil Fruit abilities will also drown in it.

Crocodile moved his feet and found that there was no foothold under him, and he couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Where am I?

After a few breaths, Crocodile's body regained consciousness, and only then did he notice that one of his hands was caught by something.

Turning his head, Crocodile's face suddenly sank.

I saw that his hand was on Rowan's shoulder, Rowan was pulling him, and the two were gliding in the air together.

Behind Rowan, two gravel wings that had shrunk countless times opened and expanded, and at the same time slowly adjusted the angle, controlling the direction of the two of them.

Crocodile: "..."

Come to think of it, since Rowan can control the gravel wings and take a whole ship to glide in the air, it is obviously easy for him to glide in the air with a person.

Reasonable, but Crocodile always feels unhappy.

He looked down and looked around, but he didn't see the ship of the Four Seas Alliance, so he couldn't help asking:

"What about them?"

The principle of Rowan's flight ability is gliding, which is not as good as that of the bird-type devil fruit person who can fly by himself.

If Bell was there, they would be much more maneuverable in the air.

But Rowan shook his head and explained: "They were swept away by the ocean current swept up by the explosion, and the speed was too fast to keep up with sliding."

Crocodile frowned, took out a new cigar from his pocket with gravel, and held it in his mouth.

Looking around, he found that the surrounding white sea had calmed down and recovered to a pure white beauty, probably because the attackers had temporarily stopped.

"Bastard, don't let me find him..."

Crocodile rarely fights such a suffocating battle, and he didn't even see the opponent's real body with his own eyes!

"Huh..."

Crocodile took a deep breath and sipped the unlit cigar, "So, we're going to find them?"

"The wind here is too small, and the time for gliding is limited, so you can't fly for too long."

Rowan looked into the distance and found a bulge made of white clouds.

That is the "physical land" above the empty island, which is composed of special clouds and is also the cornerstone of the formation of the empty island civilization.

"Let's go to the land first."

Rowan said.

Crocodile nodded.

He couldn't control the gravel to glide in the air like Rowan did, but he didn't want to keep this one-handed position on Rowan's shoulder for too long.

……

After a few minutes.

The two landed smoothly, and the wings behind Rowan also turned into gravel and returned to his body.

Then, Crocodile suddenly squatted down with a weird expression.

He reached into the pocket of the fur coat, took out the lighter, lit the cigar, and took a deep breath.

"what……"

Crocodile forcibly stood up straight and rubbed his eyebrows.

"My head hurts. Is it because of the thunder just now?"

"Do not."

Rowan also took a deep breath, "Because of the special climate at high altitude, the use of elementalization on a large scale before getting used to it, physical discomfort is inevitable."

Crocodile glanced at Rowan and understood the other party's plan, "That's why you went to Drum Island to gather a large number of doctors?"

Rowan nodded.

Only then did Crocodile understand why Rowan was not in a hurry to find the person in that boat.

After all, the fighting power of that group of people is not weak, and with a team of doctors accompanying them, they will soon be able to adapt to the climate of the empty island.

Rowan looked around, moved his fingers slightly, and simulated the surrounding terrain with gravel.

The two small dots represent him and Crocodile.

"We should now be in the middle of the Cumulus Emperor Cloud, surrounded by the White Sea Channel, and the main body of the empty island is above."

Crocodile nodded, "Since that's the case, let's go to the sky island first, it's easier to find someone there."

But Rowan refused: "No, I actually have a better way."

Crocodile was taken aback.

By the way, the domineering arrogance of this old guy can be called massive, maybe he has already captured the trace of that ship!

But then, Rowan's actions stunned Crocodile.

Rowan reached out and took out a phone bug from his pocket.

Crocodile: "..."

As Luo Wen picked up the receiver, he sighed with a smile: "Technology is so convenient, right!"

Crocodile: "..."

On the other end of the phone bug, Bell's voice came.

"Master Ancestor? Are you all right!"

"It's okay, we landed smoothly." Rowan nodded and said, "How about you?"

"Many people on the ship had symptoms of physical discomfort, but with the help of doctors, most of us have recovered."

Bell replied: "But we are going all the way along the current of the White Sea, and it seems that it is difficult to turn back."

Luo Wen said: "Okay, let's meet at the upper level of Ji Diyun."

"Understood."

Click!

The phone worm hung up, and Rowan looked at Crocodile who was smoking silently.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

……

With a specific direction, the two began to look for a way out.

The cloudy ground on the empty island is a little softer than the soil, and it feels like a quilt. It gives a very comfortable feeling when you step on it.

Crocodile climbed over a cloud hill, stroked the ground with his right hand, and silently activated the ability to erode.

In an instant, the small cloud was sucked out of all the water and turned into a pool of white gravel.

Crocodile's face returned to a gloomy smile.

Since the ability to erode can be activated, it means that his combat effectiveness has not been weakened.

That's the best way to go.

Crocodile was in a good mood. He looked up, but was suddenly stunned there~www.readwn.com~ What is that? "

Hearing this, Rowan looked around, but was also stunned.

On the white sandy beach in the distance, there are large scorched black marks left, as if a large number of lightning have passed by concentratedly, leaving tortuous lines.

"Is it because of the thunderstorm just now?" Crocodile speculated.

Rowan shook his head and denied, "No."

He came to a charred trace, reached out and pulled out a charred spear from inside the beach.

"These traces are not new, they have existed for a long time."

At this moment, an old voice sounded beside him.

"You two, are you travelers?"

Rowan and Crocodile turned their heads and saw an old man in a brown shirt.

With two small wings on his back, he is the local aborigines of the sky island.

"Hasso."

The old man greeted the two of them like an island, pointed in one direction, and explained, "There is no one here for a long time. If you want to replenish supplies, you can go directly to the upper city."

After thinking for a while, the old man added: "However, it's best to leave here as soon as possible."

Rowan asked curiously, "Why?"

"It's a war!"

The old man sighed and said solemnly: "A war broke out between the two empty islands. Although it did not spread to the local area, as you can see, this kind of beach on the border is often affected."

As soon as these words came out, Crocodile immediately raised his forehead and sighed inwardly.

Trouble...

His "trouble" is not what the old man said, but Rowan.

Crocodile can be sure that Rowan's eyes lit up when the old man mentioned "the war between the empty islands"!
