Chapter 557: The Uncontrollable Pacifist

“Here it comes!”

Crocodile and Jinbe, who had previously landed on the Sky Island Balon terminal with Ian, immediately understood when they saw the balloons beneath the clouds.

Others, however, were still puzzled, unsure of the meaning behind the phrase “here it comes.”

After observing for a while, they too noticed something peculiar. When the cloud reached above the Amazon Lily, it suddenly halted.

“Oh! I remember now!” Nami suddenly exclaimed, covering her mouth. She recalled Ian mentioning something about having his own Sky Island. Could this be it?!

But… Sky Islands can move?!?

Hmm!? It seems they can indeed move, but isn’t it supposed to be passively drifting with the high-altitude airflow? Why can Ian’s Sky Island choose its own direction?

Nami was bewildered. She had only seen Enel’s Sky Island so far, so she found Ian’s Sky Island quite unusual.

Enel felt the same way. After returning, he had been silent, seemingly affected by his encounter with Gion, which left him speechless. However, upon seeing the clouds drifting in the sky, he couldn’t help but stand up and gaze upward.

“This is someone… up there!?” A sharp-eyed prisoner suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the sky. “There are people coming down from the clouds!”

Everyone quickly looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, several black dots appeared above, gradually getting larger until they could be clearly seen as a group of figures.

Ian smiled. He knew it was members of the Hunting Dragon Pirates coming down to greet him.

Even before setting off from the Shabondy Archipelago to Amazon Lily, Ian had contacted Uncle Fujitora and the others via Den Den Mushi, instructing them to maneuver the Sky Island to meet him at Amazon Lily.

Although the Sky Island’s movement relied on the rotation of those electric windmills, which was relatively slow, moving through the sky was much more advantageous than traveling by sea. As long as they set a direction, they could come straight over in a straight line.

Moreover, being in the high altitude, the harsh weather of the Grand Line had little effect on the Sky Island. At most, encountering a hurricane might lower their speed, but that’s it. Hurricanes couldn’t blow away such a large Sky Island. After all, the Sky Island wasn’t a true cloud in the traditional sense.

Ian’s timing was quite accurate. The day after the prison raid was completed, the Sky Island arrived over Amazon Lily.

As the figures gradually descended, Ian could see clearly. It was actually Robin and Reiju with some members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, holding a string of balloons as they descended slowly.

“Yo-ho-ho-ho!” Brook, lifting his head to the sky, couldn’t help but let out a delighted laugh, his face turning red with excitement.

He seemed to vaguely glimpse something under Robin and Reiju’s skirts… There was no way around it, both of them were wearing short skirts, and even though they used one hand to hold down the hem, it was still faintly visible.

Damn! Can’t get away with this! You perverted skeleton dare to peep!?

However, before Ian could react, Sanji’s fierce kick landed on Brook’s head, followed by Nami’s Invincible Queen Fist.

Under the simultaneous attack of two people, Brook fell to the ground!

“Hmph, idiot!” Nami blew on her fist, then turned her head to Sanji with some surprise. “Huh? Sanji, you’re not with Brook today?”

Sanji casually lit a cigarette and said, “That’s my sister. Absolutely can’t tolerate him peeking!”

“Oh!” Nami, hands on hips, looked pleased. “Well, well, well, I didn’t expect you to defend your sister!”

“Of course!” Sanji replied, then suddenly his legs turned to noodles, and he raised his hands high as he ran towards where Robin was going to land, calling out with a lecherous grin, “Beautiful Miss Robin! Your knight has arrived!”

“Sanji!!! Get back here!” Nami instantly went into a rage. She didn’t expect Sanji to still be with Brook’s group, but his peeping target was just Robin.

However, before he could run far, Sanji was tripped by Ian…

Nami gave Ian a thumbs-up in praise, and Ian stepped on Sanji, striking a victory pose with his fingers, indicating no need to be polite, striking at the perverts ~ duty calls…

“Hehe, what a lively scene!” After landing, Robin looked at Ian with a smile.

Before Ian could respond, Nami ran up and hugged Robin, rubbing her head against Robin’s chest, and saying, “Robin, sis! Missed you so much!”

Robin smiled, patting Nami’s hair and exchanged a few words with her. Then Nami let go of Robin and ran over to hug Reiju, rubbing against her.

During their previous adventure on the Angel Island, Nami had already become familiar with Robin and Reiju. Seeing them again after being apart for so long naturally made her very excited.

“Oh! Being a girl is so nice…” Brook and Sanji lay on the ground, looking up at Nami’s actions, envy written all over their faces, wishing they could swap places with Nami. However, their lecherous expressions were noticed by Ian, who promptly kicked them both…

“Hmph, serves you right!” Zoro crossed his arms, watching Sanji with glee.

The members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, including Zick, excitedly gathered around after landing, shouting, “Captain! You are finally here!”

Ian also happily patted their shoulders, saying, “Good to see you all. Any issues on the way here?”

“Well…” Zick scratched his head. “Let Uncle Fujitora explain when we get up there!”

Ian’s heart stirred, realizing that something might have indeed happened on their journey. So, he didn’t press further, simply nodding to show he understood.

Matthew and Doroni also came over excitedly to meet with Zick and the others.

Meanwhile, the prisoners stared blankly at the scene. They couldn’t fathom how these people could have descended from the sky, and it seemed like they were Ian’s subordinates!

It wasn’t until they snapped out of it that they noticed the identical Dragon Hunter Pirates tattoos on their bodies.

Suddenly, many prisoners’ minds heated up. They thought that maybe they would also have such a tattoo in the future…

Although most of the prisoners already knew about Ian’s revolutionary identity, for them, being a pirate or a revolutionary didn’t make much of a difference. Both were opposing the Navy; the only distinction was that when they were pirates before, they were ruthless, but now under Ian’s leadership, they might have to tone it down.

Taking the large bunch of balloons brought by Zick and the others from the clouds, Ian distributed them and said to everyone, “Let’s go, up we go together!”

“Oh!” The prisoners cheered, excitedly taking the balloons.

After exchanging glances, Law and Urouge also noticed the mutual interest in each other’s eyes.

Then, a strange scene unfolded. Hundreds of figures swayed and floated towards the sky, each holding onto two balloons tightly. They screamed in terror as they looked down below, yet excitedly looked up, shouting as they watched the clouds grow larger and larger.

Before long, they used these balloons to pass through the thick clouds, and suddenly, a vast city appeared before them.

“Oh my goodness! Is this… Is this the Dragon Hunter Pirates’ territory!? It’s incredible!” The prisoners exclaimed in awe.

Meanwhile, Luffy and Chopper had already run ahead, joyously.

Law, Urouge, and Enel were also surprised as they looked at everything before them. They hadn’t expected that the group they joined would possess such a breathtaking island.

It seems they really chose the right side to join this time…

However, just as everyone was still in astonishment, suddenly, three massive figures appeared and crashed down in front of them.

Upon seeing these three figures, Chopper screamed in fright and quickly ran back.

Meanwhile, Law and Urouge immediately tensed, drawing their weapons and advancing, ready to strike.

“Damn it! Pacifistas!” Zoro crouched down, his hand on his sword hilt, also preparing to charge forward into battle.

Only Ian, while surprised, wasn’t as tense as the others. He knew that if Reiju and the others could come down to greet them, there shouldn’t be any trouble on the island. These Pacifistas should be the same ones that Uncle Kuma had dispatched from Sabaody Archipelago.

However, just as Ian was thinking this, he saw the three Pacifistas raise their right hands, the laser ports in their palms aimed at the group, emitting dazzling light.

“This… This is out of control!?” Ian immediately realized something was wrong and prepared for battle.

However, at that moment, the three Pacifistas suddenly floated up as if losing their weight, unable to control their attacks in mid-air. Three laser beams were emitted, but they shot in different directions, not hitting anyone.

“Oh, sorry, sorry!” At the same time, a figure came over, Uncle Fujitora appeared, somewhat embarrassed as he said to Ian, “Sorry, Captain, it was a lapse on my part. Couldn’t control them, and they got away…”

“What… What’s going on?” Ian was somewhat confused and couldn’t help asking, “Can’t these Pacifistas be controlled?”

“Well… I’m not entirely sure!” Fujitora chuckled, “Actually, things have been chaotic on the island since we received your three deliveries. Let’s wait for Varua to explain it to you in person…”
