Chapter 339 Gathering at Amazon Lily(1/2)
On this trip back to Qinghai, Seti and others did not plan to take a detour to the top of the Western Sky. Instead, they planned to take the Jet Airship directly to the man-made sky island Visalia and return to Qinghai from there.
The Jet Airship is the latest scientific research result of the scientists at the Navoli Research Institute. Its working principle is similar to the octopus hot air balloon used by Luffy and others when they landed on Sky Island.
Because of its durability and extremely wide space, it has now become the most practical means of transportation recognized by the entire Sky Island Alliance (that is, the several sky islands that jointly guard the top of the Western Sky).
With the Jet Airship, theoretically speaking, Seti can travel around the world without any hindrance. If it is put into commercial use, it can directly allow the Navoli Chamber of Commerce to subvert the entire pirate world in one fell swoop.
However, Seti has not allowed the Jet Airship to flow into Qinghai, and only allows its use on the White Sea.
For today's era of great pirates, mastering an air force is simply a dimensionality-reducing strike, and Sett will not expose such a trump card so early.
In addition to the Jet Sea airship, Seti has not stopped building the Ark Proverbs, the legacy of Enel.
There is no need to exploit the people of Sky Island to build a golden warship like Enel. Sett asked Iska to use thunder metallurgy to create a lot of gold wire based on the semi-finished product of Proverbs. He planned to wrap the outside with rubber to make wires for use as
Proverb's internal circuitry.
As for the outer hull, it can be directly split into different parts and entrusted to shipyards across Qinghai to build them. Then they can be transported to the top of the west sky for assembly.
In Seti's plan, Proverbs, as his future main ship, will use electricity and wind power from the blast shell as driving energy, and will be equipped with a small number of weapon systems.
The group of scientists at the Navoli Institute are now improving the drawings in accordance with Seti's requirements. It is believed that the advent of this super battleship should have happened in the past two years.
At that time, Iska or himself will be responsible for the power output, Baby-5 will be responsible for the weapon system, and Valor will be responsible for the aerial sniper. The scene will be very impressive when you think about it.
…………
"I said, do we really want to go to Amazon Lily together? Weber and Urqui don't know anything about those things yet."
At the last moment before boarding the Jet Airship, Seti was still trying desperately to get baby-5 to change his mind.
"It doesn't matter, we are all our own people, right?"
baby-5 smiled softly at Ulki and Weber.
"Yeah, let's go forward and retreat with everyone in Sky Island and Navoli!" Aisha and Lucky, who didn't know what was going on, urged Weber to board the ship, while turning back to Seti and others with a bright smile.
After being hit with a soft nail, Seti laughed and said to Reijiu without giving up:
"Are you sure you want Dezaya to be responsible for all matters at the headquarters? She has only studied under you for a few months."
This time, Reiju didn't even need to speak, Dezaya shouted in dissatisfaction:
"Mr. Seti, you can't question my ability just because I'm a junior. Sister Reiju said that I have a talent for management. Besides, isn't there a phone bug? If I encounter any problems, I will contact Reiju.
Sister Jiu’s.”
"Are you satisfied with this answer, big boss?"
Seeing Seti's speechless expression, Reiju's tone was firm, and when she turned her back, a shallow smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
Sett wanted to say something else, but Valor pulled Sett aside and signaled him to stop struggling.
Neither Baby-5 nor Reiju had any other options for this little "traitor" like Valor. They could only give him a helpless look and boarded the airship one after another.
Seeing that the two women were determined to go to Amazon Lily, Seti couldn't say anything more, so he could only board the airship with Valor.
The Jet Shell flew very smoothly on the white sea with smooth airflow. After only about two days of sailing, Seti and others arrived at the artificial sky island Visalia.
When Sett arrived here, the little thieving cat Nami seemed to have not received the news about Luffy from the big bear, and at this time, the whole Visalia was in a state of unrest.
Landing in Visalia requires the consent of the meteorologists. In order to make good friends with the innocent and kind-hearted meteorologists, Seti and Reiju stepped forward to help the meteorologists catch Nami who was wandering around.
"Mr. Sett and... Sanji's sister? Were you also sent here by that bastard bear?"
In a dead end of an alley somewhere, Nami, who was carrying a huge burden, could not help but scream in surprise after seeing clearly the faces of Seti and Reiju who were blocking her.
Nami has been staying on the Sky Island during this period. Although she read the news about Luffy's war on the top through the newspaper, she still didn't know the true identity of the bear.
So when she saw Seti and Reiju here, her first reaction was that Seti and Reiju were also photographed here by bears.
"We were not photographed by a bear. The bear is actually not a bad person. He did this to save you..."
After briefly explaining the whole story and mentioning 3d2y's plan, Nami decided to stay in Visalia to study meteorology (mo) and science (fa) just like in the original story.
After bidding farewell to Nami, Dezaya returned to Angel Island by Jet Airship. Seti and others who arrived in Qinghai picked up a steamship from the local Navoli Chamber of Commerce and continued their journey, aiming straight for the windless zone.
Amazon Lily.
The navy had a specific map of Amazon Lily's location, and Seti had the life paper given to him by Hancock, so the group of people arrived at their destination, Amazon Lily, easily.
Hancock is familiar with all of Seti's plans, so he has been sending people outside Amazon Lily to wait for the arrival of Seti and others.
As soon as Seti landed here, Avrandra and Margaret came to greet him:
"Lord Seti, you are finally here. Lord Snake Princess has been waiting for you in the royal city for a long time."
After hearing this, Seti subconsciously glanced back at Baby-5 and Reiju, and found that although the expressions of the two girls did not change much, their eyes were obviously much sharper than usual.
Recalling what Hancock had said to him in the palace, Sett's thoughts couldn't help but drift away a little. When Hancock met Reiju and Baby-5, maybe... he didn't have what he thought.
That bad?
After coming back to his senses, Seti thought for a while and then asked:
"Have Ace and Marco arrived on the island? There is a man with yellow hair and a man with black hair. There should be a fishman who came with them."
Margaret nodded after recalling:
"They arrived in the nearby waters yesterday. Lord She Ji said that since they are your friends, they can be allowed to land on Amazon Lily, but they are not allowed to enter the city, so they have been staying in the virgin forest to the south."
Hearing what Margaret said, Iska, who had been at the back of the team, couldn't help but tremble. The two had not seen each other for nearly three years. Will they finally meet again?
Thinking of watching the live broadcast of the execution earlier and seeing Ace kneeling in embarrassment in front of the execution platform, Iska felt mixed emotions for a moment. If possible, she really wanted to go to the so-called jungle to see Ace right now.
S.
But thinking that her best friend still had unresolved emotional problems, she could only forcefully suppress the impulse and turn to look at Seti with a sharp gaze like a knife.
Seti felt uncomfortable being looked at by Iska, so he simply turned to the people behind him and said:
"I will take Iska to see Ace first. You can follow these two to see Hancock first... In addition, Amazon Lily does not allow men to enter, so the task of staying and guarding the ship is left to Urki and you.
Weber."
The two tool men, Ulki and Weber, were not interested in Amazon Lily, so they directly agreed to Seti's request.
Iska wanted to see Ace as soon as possible, so he didn't raise any objections.
Little Valor has been led by baby-5, and there is nothing to say. The only ones left are baby-5 and Reijiu.
Seti originally thought that the two women would put forward some different opinions, such as waiting for Seti to solve the problem and come together to challenge Hancock, the big boss.
But what Seti didn't expect was that after the two women took a look at Seti, they didn't even raise any opinions, and said directly:
"Just do as you say."
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Seti turned to Avrandra and Margaret and said:
"Ace and I have important things to discuss, so we won't go to the Royal City immediately. Margaret, please take me and this lady to the jungle first.
As for Ellandra, please take the remaining people to the Royal City to meet Hancock."
Avandra and Margaret were the first people to come into contact with Seti, and they were also aware of the relationship between Seti and Hancock.
In their opinion, there was no difference between Seti's words and Lord Snake Lady's order, so neither of them said anything and directly led the groups of people they wanted to entertain to different places.
Let’s not mention the three Baby-5 who followed Avrandra to the Royal City. Let’s say that Seti and Iska followed Margaret all the way. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the primitive jungle south of Amazon Lily.
Near the coast, Seti and Iska finally met the three Aces.
It was no different from Sett's plan. At this time, the only people who came to participate in the meeting were Ace and Marco, plus Jinbe as a middleman.
Both sides are strong men with a certain degree of strength, and their perception abilities are extremely sharp. They discovered the other's existence almost as soon as they met.
Seeing Seti and Iska appear on the opposite side, Ace, a straight man, did not greet Iska immediately. Instead, he kept glaring at Seti, and the flames on his body also jumped up.
"Ace, calm down! Mr. Sett is not an enemy."
Seeing Ace's strange behavior, Marco and Jinbe quickly grabbed him.
But even so, Ace was still struggling fiercely:
"Calm down, how can I be calm? Dad died in his hands!"
Ace knelt on the execution platform during the entire war and did not hear the exchange between Seti and Whitebeard. After being released, he was knocked unconscious by Seti immediately, so he actually had no idea about the entire war process.
He only knew a little bit about it, and only roughly learned through the newspapers and the accounts of the members of the White Group that Seti defeated his father and then let them all leave.
Although he knew very well that if it hadn't been for Seti, all of them would have died on the battlefield of the war at the top, but Ace was always worried about the fact that Seti "killed" his father, so this was just the beginning.
When he saw Seti, he couldn't help but want to take action against Seti, regardless of whether he was Seti's opponent.
If Marco and Jinbe hadn't been holding him back, Sett estimated that Ace would have hit him with a fire punch by now.
However, Ace is held by Marco and Jinbei, but Iska has no one to hold him.
She had been worried about Ace's execution for so long, and now she finally saw Ace standing in front of her with all his beard and tail, but he didn't even say hello to her, but there was something in his mouth.
The people who opened and closed their mouths were all dads, and the grievances in their hearts suddenly burst out.
She didn't care that no one else was present, and the ability of the Thunder Fruit was activated unconsciously. Her whole body instantly turned into a ball of lightning and appeared in front of Ace, and her fist filled with lightning hit Ace directly in the face.
"Asshole Ace, you have never considered my feelings, have you!"
