Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

empty island.

Arpajado, Sky Island Marina.

This used to be the "Land of the Gods" of the empty island, and it was essentially an island that was sprayed up to a height of 10,000 meters by the soaring ocean current.

Today, it has become a thriving tourist destination!

The local culture of Sky Island is actually quite hospitable.

Long before Enilo ruled Sky Island, Sky Island actually had iconic tourist attractions like "Angel Beach".

And the former forbidden place "Apayado", also under the leadership of the current Shengan Fore, has been built as an important hub for the exchange between Sky Island and Qinghai.

The daily flow of people and cargo throughput here has reached an astonishing number.

And most importantly, this is only limited to the "dock" itself.

Because of the lost golden town of Shandora and the sea tower stone passage, Apayado is not fully open to the outside world.

In this regard, Gan Foer explained to the outside world that there are many ferocious beasts in the territory of Apayado, and there is even the terrifying giant snake "Lord of the Sky" entrenched in the depths of Apayado.

Such remarks naturally scare away curious tourists and businessmen.

Why do you have to go to the depths of Apayado to get up close and personal with those ferocious beasts! Could it be that the sunbathing at Angel Beach is uncomfortable?

...

now.

A drink stand by the pier.

The two tourists are tasting the special drink of Sky Island, first chatting about the anecdotes that happened during the past few days.

"Ah, Sky Island is such a good place, there are always new things to play no matter how you play!"

"But let me say that the essence of the trip to Sky Island is when you go to and from Sky Island!"

Another tourist said excitedly: "Have you seen the balloon octopus we took when we came here? I've heard of that ferocious beast before!"

"Of course I've heard of it. Even though it's rare in Qinghai, it's definitely very dangerous."

"I have a friend who was attacked by a balloon octopus when he was running a boat. All the goods were gone, and the people were almost gone!"

"So, it's really amazing!"

The tourist couldn't help sighing: "What do you think the Universal Alliance has done to make such ferocious beasts obediently obey their orders!"

After thinking about it, another tourist guessed: "Maybe it is a pet that has been raised since childhood? Or did it take a long time to domesticate?"

"Who knows? If I know the method, I can also open a direct air route to Sky Island!"

The tourist shook his head helplessly.

"Speaking of which, although Sky Island is interesting, there are quite a lot of beasts!"

"Isn't it? Even at the pier, you can occasionally hear the beasts inside Apayado roaring, and even the 'Lord of the Sky' will occasionally show his face."

"A gigantic snake that can swallow a city in its belly, it's terrifying..."

"This reflects the importance of 'guards'!"

"Guards? Can humans really deal with such terrifying creatures?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I think the group of guys who call themselves Sandia are very confident. They look like beasts, and they look like they can fight!"

"Eh? By the way... did you find a problem?"

"What?"

"It's already noon, why don't we hear the roar of a wild beast now? There were obviously quite a few at this time yesterday."

As soon as this remark came out, both of them reacted and found something abnormal today.

Originally, noon in Apayado should be the noisiest moment, and the beasts in the depths of Apayado often roar a few times.

Among them, the voice of the Giant Serpent Sky Lord is particularly obvious.

But today, things seem to be a little different.

The entire Apayado is very quiet, and there is no other sound except the movement of human beings.

This quietness was too much, and it even seemed a little weird!

"In the end what happened?"

Realizing this, the two tourists looked at each other in blank dismay, but they were slightly relieved when they saw that the faces of the Sandia soldiers next to them remained the same.

Anyway, the locals of Sky Island didn't say anything, presumably it was some special time period?

Let's enjoy this long-lost holiday first! The waiters at Angel Beach are so cute!

...

These tourists do not know.

On the other side of Apayado, there is a port away from the tourist pier.

This port has no ability to receive tourists at all, and is replaced by its perfect equipment and a large number of ships.

Here is the real garrison base of the Universal Alliance!

A ship slowly docked.

And as the ship approached, the entire Apayado became more and more quiet.

In the depths of Apayado, the giant serpent Lord of the Sky lies in his lair.

Every time the ship got closer, the sky lord's body curled up even tighter.

Its eyes were gradually filled with fear, and its huge body looked carefully, even trembling a bit!

At this time, it should have been a good time for the Lord of the Sky to bask in the sun, but now he dare not leave his home at all.

Because the Lord of the Sky felt that once he left, he might never go back!

This emotion finally reached its peak when the ship of the Four Seas Alliance docked and the figure in light armor stepped on Apayado.

...

Maybe it's for survival, or maybe it's for some other reason.

The instincts of beasts are always much more sensitive than ordinary humans.

It is also because of this that the beasts on Appayado have such a reaction!

Fears from the "most fundamental" filled their hearts.

...

"Huh, the weather is really nice."

Rowan held a scepter and walked silently on the land of Apayado.

Because there is no cloud cover, the weather in Sky Island is often much better than in Qinghai.

The sky is clear, and the mood of the whole person has also improved a lot.

Rowan took a step and signaled Crocodile and Nicole Robin behind him to follow.

Everyone moved forward and came to the ruins of Shandora.

Nicole Robin was here for the first time, so she was naturally shocked by the scene in front of her.

The gold here has not been completely melted by Enilo, so the tip of the iceberg of the legendary "Golden Town" can still be seen.

What a splendid city it must have been!

While observing the surrounding buildings, Robin followed Rowan, and finally arrived at their destination—the channel made of sea stones.

Because of being too close to Hailoushi, Robin, who is a devil fruit capable user, felt a little unwell.

But out of extreme curiosity in his heart, Robin didn't flinch.

Thinking about it, for an archaeologist, it is impossible to shrink back from the situation in front of him!

Luo Wen pointed to the inside of the passage, and was about to introduce it, but suddenly found that Robin had started to study a golden pillar on the side.

"What's wrong?" Rowan was a little curious.

Looking over Robin, Rowan saw that Robin was studying the symbols on the golden pillar.

The gold pillar is quite well preserved, and has not been melted by Enilo's "Lei Metallurgy", so the pattern on it is clearly visible.

"This is an ancient text."

Robin looked at this text, his pupils shrank.

She opened her mouth and read slowly:

"What's the use of studying these? We're doomed."
