Chapter 47 (2/2)

”Alright, I gotta go now. Smell ya later!” Azul said and hung the mic up, faintly hearing the beginnings of Whitebeards laughter once more shortly before hanging up the mic, shrugging at the subordinates dumbfounded expression at his words.

”I guess it's time to prepare the coming journey upwards...” Azul mumbled to himself, walking out of the pub, down the destroyed road towards his tiny ship, boarding it to take stock of his supplies before heading back into the pub to order some provisions for the days to come.

The strawhats meanwhile did pretty much the same, until both the flying lamb and Azuls miniature ship left the harbor together to sail towards a man that seemingly knew about skyisland from what Robin had found out by asking the barkeeper.

Soon afterwards they reached the shore where said man was sitting on a rock, smoking a cigarette, observing the arriving ship, until they both landed at the shore and walked over towards the man.

”Hey old man, we heard you knew how to reach skyisland?” Luffy grinned in exitement.

The old man exhaled the smoke from his cigarette before grinning in turn and said:

Walking back to his tiny ship Azul realise that it probably wouldn't survive such a force, no matter how many wings would be installed at its sides and so he simply decided to run up there.

”Alright guys, I'll see you up there. Don't f.u.c.k this up!” Azul said, grinning at the workout he would soon get, igniting the flames at his feet.

”What do you mean up the-?” Nami spoke until she saw Azul igniting his feet, making her eyes widen in understanding. Before she could finish her sentence though, Azul grabbed Robin in a princess carry, making her yelp in surprise, and bending his knees pushed with a mighty crack the earth beneath his feet, jumping up into the air with a giant grin on his face, running with a passenger towards heaven itself...
