Chapter 246 Hard Currency of Sky Island
As the Ship approached, the outline of Angel Island was already visible.
"That's Sky Island?"
Bell-lin stood at the Ship's Bow, gazing into the distance at Angel Island, which was almost entirely composed of clouds.
"Mm."
Nicholas came to Bell-lin's side and looked up at the Island ahead.
Nicholas was quite interested in Sky Island, or rather, the residents living in Sky Island, after all, the origins of these people might be quite extraordinary.
The natives of the moon, huh? Having already seen the Lunarian Race before, and now being able to see the natives of Sky Island again, if luck is on his side, he might even be able to gather some very good Intelligence.
Just as Nicholas was pondering, a sound of weeping suddenly came from behind him.
Nicholas turned his head towards the source of the Sound and saw Kurik and his son hugging each other and crying loudly.
"Hey, isn't that a bit much? It's just Sky Island, right? Is there any need to be this excited?"
Beddyk, watching the exaggerated father and son pair on the Deck, couldn't help but speak.
Unlike Kurik and his son, who seemed like they had never seen the world, Beddyk, as one of the Underground giants of Sabaody Archipelago, although he had never been to Sky Island himself, knew some things about Sky Island, so he couldn't understand why these two guys were so excited to see Sky Island.
"How could you, Weapon, possibly know the great significance it has for our entire Family to clear the Appellation of Liar King from Roland, who is also our Ancestor!"
Hearing Beddyk's Words, Kurik couldn't help but retort. For him, the education he had received since childhood was to use all his strength to find Golden City to clear up the world's misunderstanding of Roland and revitalize the Vembra Family's glory.
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I know, don't get excited, don't get excited."
Beddyk naturally wasn't willing to discuss his obsession with someone as deeply obsessed as Kurik, so he decisively changed the subject.
Nicholas acted as if he hadn't heard the commotion behind him, and simply had Vistad control the Sea King Authority Ship to approach Angel Island.
"Nicholas, wait a moment."
Just then, Bell-lin suddenly called out to Nicholas.
"What's wrong, Bell-lin?"
Nicholas looked at Bell-lin with some curiosity, waiting for her answer.
"I feel that deep within that Island, the Aura of Plague is very active."
Nicholas frowned and asked in a timely manner, "Do you mean there's a Plague on the Island ahead?"
Looking at the Angel Island residents who were somewhat flustered by their appearance, it was really impossible to see any sign of a Plague on the Island, but Nicholas unconditionally trusted Bell-lin's Words.
Bell-lin nodded and said, "Mm, although I don't know why the Plague is so active but hasn't spread, if it's not handled properly, when it Bursts, the entire Island will fall, turning into a Dead Zone."
"Hmm..."
Nicholas stroked his chin and asked curiously, "Then doesn't your Devil Fruit Ability have a way to solve it?"
Bell-lin said calmly, "Of course, I can."
Nicholas was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked in confusion, "Since you can use Devil Fruit Ability to solve it, why are you still so serious?"
"It's very Simple. If the Plague spreads out, I can easily solve it, but if the Plague is contained in a large jar, then I need to find the jar first before I can target it."
Bell-lin said matter-of-factly.
"..."
Nicholas was speechless.
So, as long as the jar is found, the problem is not even a problem.
Three minutes later, the Sea King Authority Ship docked at a Coast of Angel Island.
Vistad stayed on the Ship to watch the Ship, while the others went up to Angel Island via the Gangway.
After landing on the Island, the group went straight to a Tavern.
"Boss, bring out your most famous Wine here."
Beddyk spoke directly as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Beddyk, I'm a Skeleton Man and can't drink Wine, Milk will be fine."
Brook reminded him softly from the side.
"Lord Brook, it was my oversight."
Beddyk said quickly. Beddyk, who was determined to become the strongest Lackey, naturally also knew that Brook was Nicholas's Crew member and one of the people he needed to curry favor with.
And the Boss of the Tavern, looking at the stack of Beli that Beddyk slapped on the table, immediately looked at Beddyk with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Sir, we only accept Ike (Sky Island Currency) here."
"Eh!"
"Eh!"
Beddyk and Brook couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Obviously, they had no idea what Ike (Sky Island Currency) was, but it was the first time they had seen a Tavern that didn't accept Beli.
"Boss, then how about this?"
As he spoke, Nicholas took a cloth bag from Beddyk's Subordinate and threw it in front of the Boss.
Seeing the cloth bag on the Bar counter, which was about the size of a human head, the Boss first glanced at it casually, then opened the bag, and when he saw the Things inside, his Pupils dilated directly.
"This is!?"
The Boss asked in disbelief.
"Vintage Soil from the Blue Sea that is at least over five billion years old, it not only has commemorative significance but also considerable collectible Value."
Nicholas said seriously.
Then, in the dumbfounded Gaze of Beddyk and Kurik and his son, they saw the Boss of the Tavern carefully dipping a little Soil with his index finger and putting it in his mouth to taste it carefully.
True Soil-eating!
"The purity is very high, using these to pay for the Wine is more than enough."
The Boss carefully put the Soil into the safe and showed Nicholas the most sincere smile.
Soon Nicholas and the others were drinking Fine Wine, a Sky Island Specialty Product.
"Hey, Captain, are you sure what you gave that Weapon was just a bag of randomly dug Soil?"
Simon, while drinking Wine, looked at the Boss at the Bar counter, whose face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, with a face full of incomprehension.
"Do you understand 'rarity makes things precious'? Just like Sky Island Specialty Product Shellfish and various other Things can be sold at high prices in the Blue Sea, Soil that is not very valuable in the Blue Sea is as valuable as Ike (Sky Island Currency) in Sky Island."
Nicholas said lightly. It has to be said that although Sky Island is not as rich in products as the Blue Sea, Fine Wine is still quite flavorful.
And Katie had also made an Agreement with the Boss early on to purchase a large amount of Sky Island Wine using two large boxes of Soil and an Orange Tree Sapling.
"Guests, you came directly from the Blue Sea, right?"
Because of the Soil, the Tavern Boss was particularly enthusiastic.
"Boss, how did you know? Could it be that you can tell Fate?"
Brook asked curiously.
"Hahaha, what kind of Fate telling is that? If you had come through Normal Channels, you would have definitely passed through several Sky Islands before coming here, it's impossible that you wouldn't even know about Ike (Sky Island Currency), the common Hard Currency of the White Sea."
The Boss also said with a smile.
Just as the few people were chatting idly, they heard a burst of noise.
Soon, outside the Tavern, about a hundred People had gathered.
"Listen up, people inside!!!"
"We are the God's Guard of Sky Island."
"You are surrounded! Surrender and you won't be killed! I'll say it again, surrender and you won't be killed!"
The People outside, holding Weapons in their hands, gathered in groups, their expressions and words were all very agitated, as if they were afraid that Nicholas and the others in the Tavern would suddenly attack and hurt people.
"Ah, weird, why are there so many God's Guard today? Could it be that Pirates from the Blue Sea have come to Sky Island again?"
Behind the crowd.
A burly man, wearing gold earrings and large red prayer beads, dressed in monk's robes with a pair of Wings behind him, looked curiously at the Tavern surrounded by the God's Guard.
