One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 69 The Appearance of the God Knight

"How warm this sunshine is..."

"This breeze feels so refreshing..."

"These white clouds, this atmosphere..."

"The ocean, here I come!!"

The mermaid Shirley was thrilled with everything she was experiencing. Having lived for twenty-five years, this was the first time she had ever appeared on the surface of the sea.

This short stretch of 10,000 meters, like a chasm from hell, blocked the hopes of countless mermaids to feel the warmth of the sun.

The price of a mermaid at auction in the ocean has long exceeded 100 million Berries, and it has long been in a situation where there is a price but no market for it.

A mermaid is comparable to an ordinary Devil Fruit; I ask you, aren't those human traffickers insane?

"Luo Ji, where are we going on our next adventure? I want to go to the Sky Island!!"

After her trip to Fishman Island, Yamato couldn't wait to go to one of the two islands she most wanted to adventure on.

"Isn't Sky Island just a legend?"

Violet said somewhat uncertainly that, according to the information she had, there had been no news of Sky Island for many years.

However, since Yamato had brought it up, she hesitated a little.

"How could it be just a legend! The Roger Pirates landed on Skypiea, and Roger and Kozuki Oden saw something incredible there."

Yamato immediately began to explain, but as for what remarkable things or information they were, the logbook did not record anything specific.

"Sky islands do exist."

"Speaking of which, the Sky Island is also related to Noland, the great hero of the Dwarf race."

"It was Noland who discovered the golden city of Shandora back then."

But as Noland returned to his homeland, the golden city of Shandora was swept ten thousand meters into the air by an unprecedented super upwelling current.

Luo Ji briefly recounted the history of Sky Island, where he indeed found what he desired.

At least that airship, the Ark of Proverbs, is one of Luo Ji's targets.

These ordinary pirate ships, stolen from the Beasts Pirates, are no longer a good match for the current Luo Ji Pirates.

We need to get a cooler pirate ship.

Even if they can't defeat Enel, the God of Thunder, Luo Ji's Thunder Scroll can still recharge Ark Maxim.

Perhaps Luo Ji could even use Enel's blood to draw a lightning-attribute monster.

Just like Flame Ghost - Fire Frontier.

Dr. Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist, was unable to replicate the Logia-type powers using scientific technology, so Luo Ji, a user of three Devil Fruits, was able to achieve it.

"The Sky Islands were actually carried ashore by upwelling currents? That's incredible!"

Rebecca and the others were shocked. The formation of the Sky Island, like the formation of the Fish-Man Island, was full of strange and wonderful coincidences.

"Nolando is indeed a great hero."

The five little people exclaimed in awe, unaware that Noland had earned the derogatory title of "Liar King."

"Before Shandora was launched into the sky, there were already some islands formed by island clouds in the Sky Island."

"I want to go! I want to go! Luo Ji, let's go quickly!"

As soon as Luo Ji finished speaking, Yamato was already eager to set off.

The other crew members were also filled with anticipation, clearly showing an unprecedented interest in the Sky Island.

"Captain, perhaps we should leave quickly; warships have appeared to the east!"

Just as the atmosphere on the ship was getting excited, Violet said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

"Who arrived so quickly? Was it a Marine Admiral? Was it Garp, the Iron Fist?"

Luo Ji walked to the railing and looked into the distance, but even with his eyesight, he couldn't make out the small dots in the distance.

"It's the flag of the World Government!! It could very well be the legendary CP0 agent!"

"Oh no! A naval fleet has appeared in the southeast as well! I see Momousagi Gion!"

"There's another fleet to the northeast; it's Chaton Kaji!"

Violet shouted repeatedly, it seemed they were going to abandon ship and run away again, otherwise, given the performance of this pirate ship, they would most likely not be able to escape the Navy's encirclement.

"CP0 agents? It seems the Celestial Dragons are truly angry this time."

Upon hearing that there were no Marine Admirals or Iron Fist Garp, Luo Ji smiled without a trace of worry.

This is a perfect opportunity for the two big kids to show these guys what terror is.

Two huge shadows were directly beneath Luo Ji's pirate ship, seemingly waiting for Luo Ji to leave the area safely.

"Luo Ji, what should we do? There are so many naval forces. Maybe we should make a strategic retreat?"

Yamato inquired, and found that only she and Luo Ji had decent combat power on the ship; the others were basically negligible.

They could learn from the Roger Pirates' strategy of avoiding battle—running away whenever possible.

Getting entangled with the navy is pointless.

"Let's start by taking down those CP0 agents from the World Government. You guys get ready to enter the Scroll World; we might have to run away again."

Luo Ji thought of the giant sea monsters beneath the surface of the ocean and smiled faintly.

Luo Jike did not allow them to attack the navy on their own initiative.

But if those CP0 agents attack the Luo Ji Pirates first, how could they not help?

"Charge! Head east! Engage these CP0 agents head-on!"

Luo Ji's eyes gleamed with malice as he issued an order that greatly surprised Violet.

Under Luo Ji's command, the crew members changed the direction of their sails and headed east.

···

At this moment, they were on a magnificent warship to the east.

Three men dressed in noble cloaks had incredibly arrogant eyes, regarding even the powerful CP0 agents as mere servants.

"Your Highness, we have confirmed that the flag of that pirate ship belongs to the Luo Ji Pirates."

A CP agent with raptor-like eyes knelt on one knee before the three knights of the gods, reporting respectfully.

"Ha, these ants, instead of running away, they dare to charge at us!!"

"Use maximum firepower and sink them!"

"I'm going to have some fun with this D clan."

The three knights of God had eyes full of mockery and ruthlessness. They dared to kill the Celestial Dragons, and the Luo Ji Pirates had to be wiped out.

Even the elite Celestial Dragons, the God Knights, couldn't stand some of their useless race members.

But those worthless clansmen are also Celestial Dragons, and they cannot tolerate these lowly pirates offending them.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Under the orders of CP0 agents, luxurious warships equipped with the World Government's most advanced artillery, with their massive gun turrets, were directed at the medium-sized pirate ship of the Luo Ji Pirates.

"Fire!!"

As the Luo Ji Pirates' ship drew closer, the luxurious warship launched the first attack.

The intense artillery fire seemed capable of sinking the pirate ship in a single encounter.

The booming cannon fire put Momousagi Gion and Chaton Kake, located to the southeast and northeast respectively, on edge.

Unexpectedly, the Luo Ji Pirates actually clashed with the Celestial Dragons, including the God Knights.

This made the two of them feel a sense of unease.

Startled, they hurried over.

As an elite Celestial Dragon, the God Knight's status is countless times more noble than that of the defeated Saint Gard.

If something happens to them, it will be a very serious matter.

Although the God Knight is also very powerful, the Luo Ji Pirates' various attack methods are a bit outrageous and may cause the God Knight to suffer a great loss.

No one knows what unused moves Luo Ji is hiding.

When Luo Ji saw the three figures being protected by the CP agents, he also showed a surprised expression.

Violet, is this just a CP0 agent?

How did the Knights of God even appear?!
