Chapter 456 - 458 (1/2)
Sky Island.
The sky is ten thousand meters above the Grand Line, consists of water-like and island clouds.
This particular celestial island, located directly above the island of Jaya, is called Skypia.
Somewhere on the coast of Skypia, several girls were working hard, with small snow-white wings on their backs and various baskets made of dense clouds.
The inhabitants of the heavenly islands, as well as the inhabitants of the ordinary islands of the blue sea, should be engaged in fishing, for the sake of obtaining food.
But the collection of heavenly crabs, shellfish and other living creatures took place only in passing, because the main goal was different types of shells that could satisfy a variety of household needs.
Daily routine fishing in the cloudy sea is quite capable of satisfying basic human needs, and if you are lucky enough to catch some rare seashell, you can even sell it at an excellent price and enjoy a comfortable life for a while.
The brown-haired girl bent down, picked up some kind of shell from the cloudy sand, and rushed to the nearest companion when she got a better look at her.
”Nolte! Look!!”
”Wow! Is this really a shell of recoil?! You are very lucky today!”
The girl with golden hair looked enviously at the shell, and then sighed and grumbled: ”I feel like my luck shouldn't be any worse today!”
The recoil shell, which has a combat use, has a fairly high price, relative to other types of shells.
The income from the sale of one such shell is equal to the usual income for the whole day, so after finding one shell of return, the rest of the income will be an additional bonus.
”Try your best!”
The girl with brown hair smiled at her companion, carefully removing the recoil shell.
Nolte pouted and gnashed her teeth, throwing another ordinary shell far into the cloudy sea.
”You don't have enough patience, hahaha.”
The other girls couldn't help but laugh as they watched Nolte's behavior.
But just at the moment when the girls continued to laugh sweetly, it was in the place where the discarded shell fell that stormy waves suddenly rose.
In the next moment.
Boom!!!
The cloud sea exploded loudly, and a powerful pulse surged into the sky, scattering many water-like clouds in all directions.
Water-like clouds fell on the shore, soaking the clothes of Nolte and the others.
All the girls looked in shock in the direction of the cloudy sea, interrupting their business, and were surprised to find that a large sailing ship appeared and ran aground right in front of the shore.
”This is...”
Loya recovered from the shock faster than the others and exclaimed in surprise: ”... a ship from the blue sea!”
The Sky islands have some contacts with the blue sea, despite the fact that they are located ten thousand meters above sea level.
There are several ways to get from the blue sea to the heavenly islands, one of which is 'flying' with the help of an upward stream.
These girls were quite young, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but even they had already encountered the remains of ships washed ashore by the current of the cloud sea several times.
But it was the first time they had seen such a large ship, which was also in perfect condition.
After a few seconds of silence, the girls moved away from the shock and began to carefully examine a large ship that ran aground near the shore.
”Since the ship is in perfect condition...shouldn't there be survivors on it?”
”Then why is there not a single living soul on his deck...”
The girls whispered about something, looking at the ship from afar, until they came to a consensus.
On the cloudy sea, it was considered a great success to meet a surviving ship from the blue sea, because on such ships you can always find things that are not on the heavenly islands and sell them at a decent price, so even simple wrecks and remains of ships usually attract attention from the inhabitants of the heavenly island.
Although the ship was in perfect condition, but for some reason, there was not a soul on the deck, which made it very attractive to the girls on the shore.
After all, if they are lucky enough to find something very valuable on this ship, they will no longer have to spend all day doing this boring collection of shells on the shore.
You can even open your own store!
But more importantly, this sudden appearance of a large ship will soon attract other residents of the heavenly island!
Therefore, they should search it as soon as possible!!
The girls ran to the ship.
