Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 104 How can rubber fly?

"Moshi Moshi, this is Rear Admiral Kyle. I'm currently on Beehive Island. The Pirate King has been defeated, and I need you to dispatch several large warships to escort these pirates!"

……

"Okay, that's settled!!"

Kyle hung up the phone.

He just called the nearest naval branch and asked them to send warships over.

Otherwise, their warship certainly wouldn't have been able to escort all these pirates back.

After doing all this, Kyle glanced at Wang Zhi at his feet again, a glint in his eyes.

After this battle, he gained a general understanding of his own strength.

In terms of pure physical combat strength, he is still a bit lacking compared to a well-established and renowned pirate like Wang Zhi.

If he only uses his physique and domineering aura to fight, his strength can only be said to have barely reached the threshold of ordinary general-level combat power.

However, if we add his Devil Fruit ability, then his strength is even greater than that of an ordinary Admiral.

Especially when fighting against an opponent with Wang Zhi's fighting style, it's even simpler.

His Purple Heaven Divine Lightning possesses incredibly violent destructive and penetrating power, which even Garp could not completely defend against.

When facing an opponent who has no ability to fly and no means of long-range attack, he will only become a sitting duck for Kyle.

Therefore, Kyle was able to defeat Wang Zhi, an enemy with general-level combat power, with almost no injuries in this battle.

At most, the high-intensity attacks will deplete his stamina.

After glancing once more at Wang Zhi at his feet, Kyle flashed and transformed into purple lightning, instantly disappearing from the spot.

There's no need for him to do the finishing touches himself.

Moreover, given Wang Zhi's current condition, it would probably take him a long time to wake up if he relied on his own physical strength to recover. Therefore, there is no need to worry about any unexpected events when the navy he summoned came to detain him.

However, after Kyle emerged from the pit, his brows furrowed suddenly, and his eyes lifted slightly as he glanced in a certain direction.

A huge island could be seen in the sky in that direction, drifting towards the location of Beehive Island.

Seeing this, Kyle's eyes suddenly narrowed.

As far as he knew, there was only one possibility for this scene.

Without any hesitation, Kyle transformed into a bolt of purple lightning and sped toward the island.

Meanwhile, Ace and the others also noticed the island drifting in from the sky, as it was indeed a rather large target.

When they saw an island floating in the air, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, almost popping out of their sockets. They even rubbed their eyes several times in disbelief.

"Island, island..."

Luffy pointed at the floating island, his voice stammering, unable to finish a single sentence.

"Am I seeing things? Why is there an island floating in the air?!"

Guina swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly.

"I think I'm seeing things too. I also saw an island floating by..."

Zoro also swallowed hard.

……

A silence fell over the crowd. It might be that one person's vision was playing tricks on them, but it was unlikely that so many people were experiencing the same problem.

In other words, there really is an island floating in the sky.

Suddenly, a streak of purple lightning flashed past, and they saw a bolt of purple lightning hurtling toward the floating island above at an incredible speed.

"That's... Kyle??"

Sabo couldn't help but speak, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

But then a voice with a tone of certainty came through.

"That's Kyle!!"

Luffy recovered from his shock, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Kyle went to that floating island, it looks like a fun place, I want to go too!!"

Without saying another word, Luffy headed upwards, though at a much slower pace than Kyle.

"Luffy, wait!!"

Ace couldn't help but shout, but Luffy completely ignored him and continued to head upwards on his own.

"That idiot!!"

Ace couldn't help but curse, glancing at the crowd around him, and asked:

"Should we go up?"

"Given the current situation, we have no choice but to go up, right?"

Luo spoke in a calm voice.

"And I'm also very curious about what the captain is doing up there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo immediately deployed his domain.

"ROOM!!"

The light blue spherical field instantly enveloped Luffy above, and Law spoke calmly.

"Slaughterhouse!!"

The next second, with a "whoosh," Luffy and Law switched places.

Luffy: ? ? ?

Luffy was stunned for a moment when he saw Ace beside him.

They're that fast?!

Before Luffy could figure out what was going on, Law's voice came from above.

"Luffy, thank you!!"

Luffy belatedly looked towards Law, then turned his gaze downwards.

(⊙o⊙)...

(╬▔盘▔)╯!

"Luo, you bastard!!"

Luffy cursed loudly, finally realizing what was going on.

Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed at Luo above, but Luo didn't care at all. He just threw a small stone in his hand upwards.

The stone traveled upwards at an incredible speed. Just as Luffy's hand was about to touch Law, Law turned around, glanced at Luffy, made a farewell gesture, and then vanished from the spot in an instant. Luffy had only managed to grab a small stone.

Luo's figure had already appeared in the higher sky. Then, Luo kept repeating this action, his figure flashing in the air, getting closer and closer to the floating island in the sky.

This speed is still considerably slower than Kyle's, but much faster than using Moonwalk.

"Damn it!!"

Luffy crushed the pebble in his hand, his teeth itching with anger, and stared intently at Law, who was flashing above him, as he roared:

"Luo, once I catch you, you're finished!!"

Before he finished speaking, Luffy flew towards the sky again, this time with the help of 'hatred', his speed was significantly faster than before.

But just as he was trying to catch up with Law, a flame suddenly shot past him, and Ace's faint voice came from within it.

"Luffy, you're not very good at this!!"

Luffy's eyes widened as he watched Ace getting further and further away, filled with exasperation.

Damn it! These two guys are just cheating because they have Devil Fruit powers.

Why can't his fruit fly?

Rubber can fly, right? How can rubber fly?!

In an instant, the obsession with using his Devil Fruit ability to fly was etched into Luffy's mind.

When he gets back this time, he'll definitely work on developing his Devil Fruit ability; he wants to fly too!!

But for now, we still have no choice but to use Moonwalk to get there.

Below, watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Sabo couldn't help but rub his forehead slightly.

"These idiots!!"

Then he turned his gaze to Zoro and the others, and said:

"Let's go up too!"

Everyone glanced at each other, nodded, and then all headed upwards...
