A massive sea current shot up from the whirlpool, and Noir gripped the ship's helm, struggling to control the direction.

As the ship ascended higher and higher, to their surprise, the force of the upward current began to weaken.

Robin, looking into the distance, saw an abrupt white cloud sea and shouted, "Noir! Look over there!"

Noir looked ahead and saw a large mass of clouds that appeared to flow like water.

Formed by clouds, was this the Sea Clouds?

Noir steered the ship towards the Sea Clouds, but the ship had taken a beating and was in poor condition.

Gritting his teeth, Noir jumped off the ship in Robin's startled cry, flying through the air.

Falling rapidly, Noir reached the bottom of the ship, exerting great force with his arms, igniting the flames of the Flame-Flame Fruit from his elbows, and creating a powerful thrust.

With his tremendous strength and ability, he guided the ship steadily towards the Sea Clouds.

Managing to hover briefly using his flames, Noir was finally pulled back onto the ship by Robin's powers.

Landing on the deck, Noir said, "Thanks!"

Robin shook her head, and they both safely landed on the exclusive Sea Clouds of the sky island.

At an altitude of about 7,000 meters above the ground, they would need to ascend a bit more to find the island.

The battered ship creaked ominously, making their voyage feel perilous.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

Following the upward sea current, Noir successfully navigated the route to the peak of the sky.

Sailing in the sky was a magical experience, with the ship circling upward along the cloud sea, continually gaining altitude.

The sensation of flying in the sky felt wonderfully strange to Noir, and even Robin was intrigued by their surroundings.

Led by the cloud sea, Noir gradually moved from the peak of the sky into the depths of the cloud sea.

This layer, as far as the eye could see, was an endless white ocean.

In addition, there was a structure standing on the sea, behind which was a stairway leading further up into the cloud sea.

Noir, shielding his eyes, surveyed the area. This seemed to be the gateway to the upper Sea Clouds.

He remembered that to enter Enel's "God's Land," one had to pass through this place.

After the Shandians left, Noir prepared to visit them after landing on the island. Meanwhile, their ship reached the gate.

The gate, shaped like an arch, had a small room beneath it, seemingly guarded by someone.

As they approached, a voice suddenly called out.

"You two, entering the sky island requires an entrance fee."

Another entrance fee?

Noir squinted at the small house, from which an elderly woman emerged.

She was extremely short, with small wings on her back, and her face was wrinkled.

Holding a camera hanging around her neck, she blocked Noir and Robin with an expressionless face.

Annoyed, Noir asked, "How much?"

"Ten billion Extols per person," the old woman said flatly. "Equivalent to one hundred thousand Berries from the Blue Sea below."

Not expensive, but why would the domineering Noir pay?

The Bell-mère family didn't pay unnecessary fees.

Noir shook his sword at his waist, threatening, "What if I don't pay a single coin?"

The old woman glanced at Noir, who didn't look friendly, and said, "If you don't pay, you can still enter."

Noir was taken aback, then nodded in satisfaction. "Then we won't pay. Let's go!"

Robin, looking at the camera in the old woman's hand, sighed helplessly.

It seemed they had already offended someone just upon arriving.

The old woman nodded, and soon, red claws grabbed the ship, lifting it.

This was a sky island's Sea Clouds specialty, a speedy shrimp, used to carry people to the higher sea.

Prepared by his Observation Haki, Noir was unfazed. The large shrimp quickly carried the ship towards the cloud sea staircase.

After they left, the old woman took out a communication shell and reported in a slow voice:

"Amazon, the gatekeeper of Heaven's Door, reporting to the Almighty God and the priests."

"Two individuals have illegally entered the God's Land. Please bestow them with Divine punishment!"
