Chapter 171: Leaving Angel Island
With delicate yet cold features, sword-like brows and starry eyes, skin like white jade, and strands of silver hair draped over a white fur cloak, Jiang Qize walked before the residents of Angel Island like an immortal deity.
Behind him followed Camon and Little Robin. Behind them were Enel, wearing an indifferent expression, and the rest of the group, including Buck.
Raptorex and the Emperor Crocodile stood beside the Wind God, watching calmly.
Standing before Jiang Qize were Gan Fall and the chieftain.
"Sir!"
The two called out to him.
"Mmm. I'll leave Angel Island to you."
Jiang Qize looked at them calmly as he spoke.
"Please rest assured, sir. We will manage Angel Island properly and will never disappoint you."
The two hurriedly replied.
"Mmm."
Jiang Qize nodded.
This time, he did not bring Overlord or the little ape. Overlord was safe on Sky Island—no one there could threaten him—and the little ape stayed by Overlord's side to keep him company.
He had more important tasks for Overlord to handle.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go."
With that, he turned and walked toward the Dragon Flame.
Crack…
A cloud-rock pathway slowly extended out from beneath the Dragon Flame, quickly reaching his feet.
This was a Cloud Dial, capable of producing solidified clouds.
Everyone slowly boarded the Dragon Flame.
Buzz!!
The Dragon Flame Pirates' flag fluttered in the wind.
Then, before everyone's eyes, the Dragon Flame slowly began to move—faster and faster—until it disappeared above the White-White Sea.
They arrived at the Gate of Heaven.
At this time, the guardian of the Gate of Heaven was no longer that Amazon old woman with the hawthorn-like hairstyle, but instead two Shandian warriors who had eaten Dinosaur Fruits—members of the Divine Guard Army.
The Dragon Flame did not stop. After passing through the Gate of Heaven, it crossed a stretch of White Sea and arrived at Cloud Cliff.
This was the edge of the Island Cloud of the White Sea. Looking down, one could see a vast expanse of blue ocean.
Buzz!!
The Dragon Flame did not slow at all and charged straight down.
At the instant it rushed out, countless massive Jet Dials beneath the ship opened simultaneously. Powerful gusts of wind instantly lifted the Dragon Flame, which weighed several hundred tons, supporting it as it descended at a steady, balanced speed.
In the story, Luffy and the others also descended this way, but they relied on the Sky Island octopus.
Even with the Sky Island octopus, their ship had nearly fallen apart.
But the Sky Island octopus couldn't possibly hold the Dragon Flame. That was why Overlord had combined countless massive Jet Dials—enough wind power to reduce the Dragon Flame's descent speed to the absolute minimum.
Half an hour later.
Boom!!
The Dragon Flame landed on the sea, powerful winds blasting the seawater aside and carving out a massive pit in the ocean's surface.
At the moment of landing, Camon shut off the mechanisms. The seawater surged back, crashing violently against the Dragon Flame.
The Dragon Flame only swayed slightly, as if giving the sea just a bit of face.
"Captain, this is still the Grand Line. In less than two hours, there'll be an island."
Camon glanced at the eternal pose and said in a low voice.
"Mmm."
Jiang Qize nodded.
Camon could now be considered a fully mature navigator.
The Dragon Flame didn't use sails, but it did use wind power. Camon alone was enough to operate it, slowly steering the Dragon Flame toward the island indicated by the eternal pose.
...
Two hours later.
"Captain, a Marine base spotted!"
Holding a telescope, Camon looked at the distant Marine emblem, which was still just a small dot.
Jiang Qize stood up from his sun chair and looked toward the distance.
Because he could obtain one-tenth of the summoned dinosaurs' overall attributes, he naturally also inherited the Wind God's eyesight. Anything within ten thousand meters was clearly visible to him.
"G-8 Marine Fortress, huh…"
The corners of Jiang Qize's mouth lifted slightly.
If he remembered correctly, the one stationed at this fortress was a Marine vice admiral—someone with a bit of strength.
