Above Pirate King - Chapter 92
In the temple.
“It’s impossible!” Aiolia murmured, frowning.
In theory, with Enel’s condition, it was impossible for him to go anywhere else.
The forest was his biggest playground.
As for Skypeia, Enel didn’t want to go there at all. The people there rejected him and wouldn’t let him in!
So the most likely place for that thing to be was the forest.
But during this period, he had already searched the entire forest, but still found nothing.
“Wait!” Aiolia suddenly thought of something and looked up at the stone statue.
He had searched the entire forest, and the only place he hadn’t touched was here.
After thinking for a moment, Aiolia approached and touched the stone statue, even knocking on it!
“Thud, thud!”
The dull sound made Aiolia excited.
It was hollow inside, it was hollow!
“Boom!”
Aiolia threw a punch, and the whole stone statue shattered.
Revealing what was inside, it was an iron box.
The box was made entirely of iron, with a rusty iron lock on top. Even with a key, it wouldn’t open.
“Crack!”
Since it couldn’t be opened, Aiolia simply broke the lock!
The lock wasn’t thick, and it easily broke when he twisted it.
Aiolia quickly opened the box.
Inside the box was a spiral-shaped fruit of deep blue color, and next to it was a stack of drawings made with unknown animal skin.
“This is it!” Aiolia looked at the contents with joy on his face.
Enel and Truman also curiously gathered around.
“Brother Aiolia, what are these things?” Truman asked curiously.
“These are what our king wants!” Aiolia replied with a smile.
“Oh!?” Hearing this, Truman became even more curious.
If it was something that even a powerful king like Arthur wanted, it must be something good!
But as he looked left and right, there was only a fruit and a stack of unknown drawings inside.
He didn’t recognize the drawings, but he immediately recognized the fruit. Just by looking at the spiral patterns on it, he knew it was a Devil Fruit.
“Aiolia, what fruit is this?” Truman asked, curious.
“Rumble-Rumble Fruit!” Aiolia said with a smile.
“Hmm!?” Hearing this, Truman furrowed his brows. What fruit was this? It seemed like he had heard of it somewhere.
He thought for a moment but couldn’t remember.
Suddenly, Truman had a flash of insight and exclaimed, “Wait, it’s the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, known as the strongest natural attack in the Paramecia type!”
Aiolia nodded slightly.
Truman looked at the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in astonishment, unable to hide his surprise.
But Enel, on the other hand, looked confused.
What was a Devil Fruit?
It was no wonder that there were fewer Devil Fruits in Skypiea compared to the Blue Sea, and as someone who struggled to even have enough food to eat, how could he have the luxury to understand these things!
“Snap!”
Aiolia closed the box and said after thinking for a moment, “Truman, let’s go back in a few days!”
“Yes, that’s fine… cough, cough!” Truman nodded, but couldn’t help but cough a few times. He felt the weakness in his body, and his body couldn’t continue anymore.
Going back to Angel Island would be a good idea. They could spend the rest of their time there.
However, upon hearing this news, Enel looked at Aiolia in surprise, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.
These few days, following Aiolia and Truman, he had eaten until he was satisfied every day.
These were the most well-fed and comfortable days he had experienced in years. No one bullied him, and he could eat his fill every day. Aiolia and Truman took care of him very well. It was the life he had longed for!
But this sudden news made him lose focus. If the two of them left, wouldn’t he return to his previous days?
“Aiolia, are you leaving?” Enel looked up at Aiolia, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.
Aiolia understood Enel’s thoughts, smiled, and patted his head, saying, “If you want, come back with me!”
“Really!?” Enel’s face showed a look of surprise.
“Yeah!” Aiolia nodded with a smile.
“That’s great!” Enel jumped up happily.
Early the next day,
With the fresh air and chirping birds, Enel got up early and packed his things.
“Enel, you don’t need to bring those clothes and blankets!” Aiolia shook his head and said.
“Ah!?” Enel looked puzzled.
“They are all too old. Take a few pieces of clothes that you can wear. I’ll buy you some new ones when we go back!” Aiolia said with a smile.
Enel looked reluctantly at the old clothes and blankets on the ground. He had worked hard to collect them, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up.
In the end, he packed a small bundle.
In this way, Enel left with three parts reluctance for this place and seven parts anticipation for the future, following Aiolia and Truman to the Birka Port.
Along the way, they attracted the attention of many Skypieans.
As someone despised by all the residents of Birka and mixed with two people from the Blue Sea, Enel naturally attracted more attention.
However, Enel had grown accustomed to these curious gazes, and Aiolia and Truman didn’t pay them any mind.
“Look, that bastard is with those two people from the Blue Sea!”
“They are all disgusting creatures without wings. Of course, they would stick together!”
“Are they planning to leave together?”
“They can leave together for all I care. I’m tired of seeing them all the time!”
“Heh, are you annoyed? The two people from the Blue Sea bought quite a few things from you!”
“That’s right, I even saw you smiling like a chrysanthemum to welcome them!”
…
A group of Skypieans gathered together, pointing and whispering as they watched Aiolia, Truman, and Enel’s figures disappear. Meanwhile, the five youths who had bullied Enel that day trembled with fear, afraid that Aiolia would hear their comments and turn around to punch them.
The three of them arrived at the pier and were about to board the ship when the burly man in the blue and white uniform they had encountered before stood in front of them.
“Hold on!” the burly man said in a deep voice.
“What’s the matter, sir?” Aiolia frowned and asked.
The burly man didn’t answer but gave Enel a deep look and said, “Although it’s clear that you’re willing, I still have to ask as a routine: Are you willingly going with them? If not, I won’t let them take you!”
Enel didn’t answer but nodded.
“Okay!” The burly man didn’t say anything else, just nodded and stepped aside, clearing the way.
The three of them boarded the ship together.
Soon, the ship set sail and headed towards the Skypiea Sea.
At that moment, Aiolia suddenly stood at the stern of the ship, smiled slightly at the Skypieans on the Birka Port, raised his fist, and aimed it at a nearby uninhabited cloud island.
“Plasma Lightspeed Fist!”
“Boom!”
The small cloud island disappeared instantly.
“Gulp!”
The Skypieans on the pier, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but gulp and tremble. With a sense of relief, they watched the three figures slowly move away.
