It's no big deal; he would just need to change the plan to save Ace.
"So you understand?"
Luffy's smile had disappeared, and he said seriously, "If you insist, then only one of us will come out alive here!"
Aokiji was stunned for a moment.
It was not a joke. He was really prepared to do this and had a lot of confidence.
After a brief exchange of words, he still had the confidence to say such things.
Where did this confidence come from?
Wasn't he using all his strength now?
"You are a scary child. I understand, I'm afraid of you... really."
Aokiji took his coat from the floor and turned to leave. "I will report to the government that I couldn't capture her. Are you pleased now that you've arrived at Skypiea?"
Seeing him walk away, Luffy smiled.
"Thank you. I will greet my grandfather for you."
Aokiji raised his hand slightly and left without looking back.
There was also no need for a bicycle.
The Saruyama Alliance, who watched from afar, was perplexed.
"Did Admiral Aokiji admit defeat?"
"I don't know, but he left!"
"Luffy, are you okay?"
Someone shouted with concern.
"Knock Up Stream is about to disappear, and there are no ships now. If you want to go up..."
"Thank you, but don't worry."
Luffy waved his hand at them, and in the next moment, he entered Gear Fifth.
Crash!
He jumped like a ray of light and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the Skypiea clouds.
"What!?"
Aokiji's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his pupils contracted.
With his Observation Haki, at that moment, Luffy's aura emerged several times larger than before.
Suddenly, he turned and looked up with a serious expression.
But unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
"This boy... he simply held back during that brief confrontation?!"
He murmured incredulously.
Immediately afterward, he covered his abdomen, and the corners of his mouth contracted.
What the son of a reckless mother... this kick has now caused internal injuries!
"I was also careless. I'm going to take a long vacation when I get back."
7,000 meters above the ground.
An infinite sea of white clouds.
Luffy stood alone, looking around.
This is the White Sea.
Not far from his field of view, there was a waterfall descending from the sky.
In front of the waterfall was a building that resembled a station.
The Heavenly Gate!
The Gate of Heaven.
"It seems that Nami and the others have already climbed up."
Thinking about it, Luffy immediately took a step in the air and arrived in front of the Sky Gate in an instant.
This place looked like a station, except that the passing vehicles were not trains, but ships.
Next to the platform, on the left, an elderly and wrinkled lady appeared.
"I'm the Heavenly Gate monitor, Amazona. Are you here for a walk or to fight?"
"Have three ships just passed?"
"Yes. If you are here for a walk, the entrance fee is 1 billion extols per person."
Saying this, the old lady took her camera and pointed it at Luffy, squeezing the shutter.
Click.
However, the next second after taking the picture, Luffy's figure flashed and appeared next to the old lady.
With his right hand, he took the camera and squeezed it slightly.
With a crash, the camera turned into scrap.
"Are you here to fight?" The old lady showed no change in her expression.
"Did those people before pay?"
"They did. They were tourists."
Listening to this, Luffy smiled and said, "Skypiea's ruler dares to call himself God. Shishishi~ I think I should teach him a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of white flames appeared under his feet, turning into a ray of light that immediately invaded the country.
"Who are you?" the old lady shouted.
"Nika, the Sun God!"
Hearing this, the old lady's eyelids trembled. She made no attempt to stop him, nor did she have the power to do so.
She took a communication device:
"This is the Heavenly Gate's vigilance post. I am reporting to the temple that a man who claims to be the Sun God has declared war on God!"
On the other side, passing through the Gate of Heaven, what appeared in Luffy's view was a winding path that led to the higher clouds.
The ships would leave here and, with the help of the special express shrimp of the Island of Heaven, would rise to the White Sea and actually enter the territory of the Island of Heaven.
But Luffy naturally didn't need all these complications.
At that moment, he shot up, covering over three thousand meters in an instant.
As the light in front of him gradually became brighter and more dazzling, Luffy emerged from the White Sea and truly arrived on the Island of Heaven.
[You have arrived at the new island - Skypiea]
[Reward: 10,000 Adventure Coins.]
A familiar system prompt sounded.
But that made Luffy stop, surprised.
"Ten thousand?"
He even suspected he was seeing things and immediately opened his wallet.
"Seriously ten thousand!? Why is Skypiea worth ten thousand?"
He wondered in amazement.
East Blue, including the remaining West, South, and North Blues, each island is worth a hundred.
The islands in the Grand Line, each worth a thousand.
Perhaps in the New World, each island is worth thirty thousand.
But why is Sky Island worth ten thousand?
In the system's classification, does Skypiea belong to the New World?
No, Skypiea belongs to a special "maritime area"?
It's like going from East Blue to the Grand Line—the rewards increase tenfold—and from the Grand Line to the White Sea, the rewards increase tenfold again!!
In short, he's rich~
All kinds of Akuma no Mi that he used to hesitate to buy, even several new accessories and strengthening items, can now be bought freely.
"Let me see what I won today."
Luffy eagerly opened the adventure store.
With sudden wealth, it would be a waste not to spend it.
[Spirit of the Ship]: After using it on a ship, the ship will be possessed by a spirit and gain automatic navigation ability.
[Cost: 1,000 Adventure Coins.]
Buy!
He had wanted to buy it for a long time; he'd seen it many times but simply couldn't afford it.
[LIFE FRUIT (box)]: A gift box with 5 Life Fruits. After consumption, each grants one year of life.
[Cost: 1,000 Adventure Coins.]
Buy!
[Awakening Fruit]: After use, there is a 100% chance of awakening your own Akuma no Mi power.
[Cost: 1,000 Adventure Coins.]
I'll put it aside for now.
[Heightening Fruit (box)]: A 10-in-1 box. After consumption, height increases by 10 cm.
[Cost: 3,000 Adventure Coins.]
The strength may be temporary, but the height is for a lifetime.
Bought!
Luffy quickly examined the 10 items available today and suddenly his eyes shone. At the last level, he saw something new.
[AME AME NO MI]: Logia-type Devil Fruit. It is a fruit that causes torrential rain everywhere within a radius of two miles of the user. Not only that, but the user can also create miniature rain clouds for individual targets or select those he wants to keep dry. After consumption, the user will not be affected by the curse.
[Cost: 8,000 Adventure Coins.]
[Offer: 40% off = 4,800 Adventure Coins]
"So I can also buy Devil Fruits?"
Luffy was very surprised. Perhaps because he has a lot of money, the system keeps updating. It must be that!

Give me some power stones there you go~😉
