"Wuhuhu——"
Time flies. Most of the day passed. Over the undulating sea, a giant beast with golden horns on its head and a fiery red body was walking through the air.
Under it's scaly claws, huge auspicious clouds appeared. There, he kept running towards the distance at an alarming speed.
A hurricane blew up. The strong wind pressure almost caused Carina, who was lying on his head, to fall. She had to hold on tightly to the pair of golden, eye-catching golden horns.
"Hey, Ren, how long does it take..." Carina's hair was messy and she reluctantly opened her eyes. Some tears came to her eyes but that's not because of the wind.
"I deliberately speeded up, we should be almost there. Is that the island?" Ren said but he didn't stop though. He still slowed down as much as possible.
He raised his head and gestured to Carina who was above his head. She saw an island in the distance, looming.
"Is that Jaya Island?" Carina's eyes lit up, full of anticipation: "I really want to see what the legendary Golden City is like!"
"You'll see it soon..." Ren has no intention of going to Jaya Island. Instead, he directly rushed high into the sky on the auspicious clouds.
"Eh?" Hundreds of meters in the air. A news bird flew over before it had time to adjust its direction. He was violently knocked away by the huge red figure. It's whole body was broken, whining and falling towards the sea below.
A lot of newspapers were flying there.
If not for Ren deliberately restraining his own flames to protect Carina, it would've been burned to ashes in an instant.
"Eh?" Carina had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed a newspaper. The headline above made her pupils shrink sharply.
"Walking natural disaster! A man with a bounty of 400 Million Berries!"
"The destroyed Marine fleet! The flaming beast that burned everything!"
"Shocked! An unprecedented tragedy occurred in the sea area of Bocris, and a fleet of Naval Headquarters was completely wiped out!"
"Vice Admiral Stainless and the fleet he led, a total of 2,363 Marine personnel were killed in action!"
"Latest news! The vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, "Blood Demon" Hirotaka Ren has left the Straw Hat Crew!"
…
On the front page, there were several eye-catching pictures.
Astonishingly, when Ren directly transforms into a Qilin, showing a ferocious and arrogant posture. There was also a shocking scene of using a huge flaming fist to destroy a warship.
"Ren, you have a new bounty on your head..." Flicking through the newspaper, there was a bounty poster inside.
Printed on it was Ren's sharp gaze, holding a blood-stained sword and looking sideways. Under his feet, there were bloody Marine corpses one after another, lying in a mess.
Carina was no stranger to this photo. She once curiously asked Ren when such a handsome photo was taken.
According to the other party's recollection, this should have been captured by relevant Marine personnel when he went on a killing spree at the G-8 Marine Base a few days ago.
She recognized saw amount on it and gasped: "It is indeed 400 Million Berries, double the previous 200 Million!"
"This is natural. After all, I killed a Vice Admiral and destroyed a fleet..." Ren, who transformed into a Qilin and was running towards the sky, raised his eyebrows.
He was not surprised that he made headlines and his bounty was increased to 400 million because, when he was fighting against Stainless before, his Observation Haki had already noticed a relatively weak aura high in the sky, hiding in the clouds and peeping.
It was a news bird domesticated by the World Economic News Agency to serve as a reporter.
He was responsible for secretly collecting eye-catching news materials for the World Economic News Agency, and it often took secret photos of sudden major events from all over the world.
However, Ren had just left the Straw Hat Crew. It was also necessary to use this victory to build a reputation for himself. Hence he ignored it and turned a blind eye.
"In addition, I am also the ability user of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. My danger to Marines is undoubtedly becoming more and more serious. Naval Headquarters is paying more attention to it."
"Indeed..." Carina nodded. The bounty of 400 Million was somewhat astonishing but in terms of Ren's personal strength, it is not an exaggeration.
If this guy goes crazy, he is a monster that can directly destroy an island. The Crown Island where he had just swallowed the pair of golden horns, he had made it miserable on a whim. Anyone who passes by there in the future will probably be shocked.
One thousand meters!
Two thousand meters!
Five thousand meters!
soon--
"Huh...huh..." As the two of them got higher and higher from the sea level, the air became thinner and thinner, and Carina's eyes widened.
The dark sea of clouds appeared in front of her. It looked extremely amazing.
"It's incredible..." Carina marveled.She couldn't imagine how these seas of clouds were formed. It didn't actually fall.
At this time, Ren suddenly raised his head and opened his bloody mouth. The blazing firelight was constantly gathering.
Even Ren was already intentionally controlling and protecting Carina above his head. The terrible heat continued to distort the atmosphere. It made her unbearably hot.
Immediately afterwards, in Carina's stunned eyes, an exaggeratedly large and terrifying flame shock wave blasted out directly.
Carrying unimaginable high temperatures, it instantly distorted the atmosphere and directly evaporated a large amount of cloud sea, penetrating straight up.
Zi...Zi...
Boom boom...
It was as devastating as decay. A huge black hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters, which was a bit exaggerated appeared in front of the two people.
Simple and crude.
"Gulu! Is this how you go up?"
Looking at the big black hole, Carina was speechless.
"Although these seas of clouds are light and fluttery, they also have the same characteristics as the blue sea. They can directly restrain those with Devil Fruit abilities..."
Ren chuckled and responded: "Unless you go up directly from the top of the western sky or the end of the clouds, you have to wait for the sky current to penetrate the thick white sea... No matter which way you go, it is too troublesome!"
"Isn't this more convenient?" Said Ren.
The Qilin stepped on the auspicious clouds and was as fast as lightning. Like red stream of light, he passed directly through the huge black hole.
After a few moments, the two of them felt suddenly enlightened. They had already arrived at a vast expanse of white sky.
"Is this the White Sea?" Looking at the magical 'sea of clouds', Carina, who was holding Ren's horn tightly and lying on it, was extremely shocked.
"Well, this is the White Sea seven thousand meters above the sea level, but it's not the real location of the Sky Island yet..." Ren didn't stop, instead, he continued to run towards the sky: "You still need to pass through a sky gate before you can go to the altitude of 10,000 meters. The legendary Sky Island is located on that sea of clouds!"
"Of course, this is not the only way to get there. There should be other paths too but we have a faster way!"
Carina: "..."
She had to admit that Ren's ability was too powerful. Even the sea of clouds, which was at least a hundred meters thick, was blasted through and ruthlessly evaporated by the terrifying high temperature of his attack.
But...
It wasn't until they reach the bottom of Imperial Cumulus that she clearly felt how amazing Ren's wave of heat just now was.
"The hot breath just now penetrated the two layers of white sea..." Looking at the big black hole, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
She was speechless. You know, between the white sea and the Imperial Cumulus were almost three thousand meters apart, which is a full three kilometers and that was a vertical height difference. One can imagine how powerful Ren's attack just now was.
