Chapter 87: I Want to Soar into the Sky, Do You Have a Way?
The fleet docked.
Lister released his God's Perspective, sweeping across the island.
There were quite a few people on the island.
However, not a single aura was powerful enough for Lister to take to heart.
Since that was the case, there was no need for special instructions to his subordinates.
"Aside from the division guarding the fleet, everyone else is free to move about!" Lister said.
Roar!
Cheers erupted from everyone on the ship.
Sailing was actually quite boring.
Being able to go ashore, absolutely no one liked staying on the ship.
Soon.
Except for one division guarding the fleet.
Everyone else surged onto the island like a flood.
"Sigh, why am I so unlucky? We finally docked, but I have to guard the ship!" A pirate from the Fourth Division wailed as he watched his companions from other divisions leave, laughing and talking.
"Can't help it, the first three divisions guarded the ship before. Now it's naturally our turn. Just endure this period! In the future, the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Divisions will be responsible for guarding the ship."
"That's right!"
"Alright, enough with the useless talk, let's drink. At the last banquet, I secretly hid a few bottles of good wine. You guys are getting a treat today."
"You kid are really crafty. Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Go get the wine quickly!"
"..."
Lister wandered around the island with the girls.
Buying clothes, purchasing daily necessities, tasting local specialty foods.
Unknowingly, several hours passed.
Afterward, Lister took Nami and the others to a desolate, uninhabited area.
"Lister, why did we come here??" Nami asked somewhat puzzledly.
"I'm preparing to test my speed!" Lister said.
Lister had strengthened both his Physique and Spirit to over seventy.
He wanted to see how fast he was now.
Before, on the ship, he couldn't test it.
Now that he had landed on solid ground, he had to test it no matter what.
"I see!" Nami realized.
"Wait here for now, I'm going for a few laps!" Lister said.
"Okay!"
As soon as Nami's voice fell.
Whoosh!
Lister instantly disappeared from his spot.
Mach 1!
Mach 2!
Mach 3!
Mach 4!
Mach 5!
"After my Physique entered the seventies, even without entering Overclock mode, I've reached Mach 5!!"
Lister was a little surprised.
"It seems that after Physique surpasses fifty, every point of Physique strengthened brings a greater speed boost."
"Since that's the case, let's try the speed in Overclock mode!"
Muttering to himself, Lister instantly entered Overclock mode.
His figure, which had already reached Mach 5, accelerated again.
Mach 6!
Mach 7!
Mach 7.5.
"Speed reached Mach 7.5, twice as fast as before!"
Lister was overjoyed.
"With my current speed, the world is vast, but I can go anywhere! Even if it's an Admiral, if I want to leave, they can't keep me."
Lister was in a great mood, completely letting loose and sprinting around the entire Jaya Island at full speed for several laps.
Only then did he return to Nami and the others!
"You're back!!" Nami looked at Lister returning and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How does it feel??"
"Very good! My current speed is more than double what it was a few days ago. Reaching Mach 7.5!!" Lister laughed happily.
"That fast!!" Robin asked with some surprise.
The speed of sound is three hundred forty meters per second.
Seven point five times is two thousand five hundred fifty.
That is to say, the current Lister can run two point five kilometers per second.
Too exaggerated.
Is this a speed a human can reach?
"That's right, that fast!" Lister smiled proudly.
"Look at you getting all cocky. I remember Robin said before that there is an Admiral in the Marines named Kizaru whose speed can reach the speed of light! Comparing like that, you seem so slow!" Nami couldn't help but tease.
"I only heard others say that!" Robin shrugged and explained.
"Don't listen to blind bragging. Do you know how fast the speed of light is? Three hundred thousand kilometers per second. With that speed, even a needle could pierce through the Earth. Can Kizaru do that?"
"If he could, the Four Emperors would have tucked their tails and behaved long ago. Would they dare to be as arrogant as they are now?"
"His speed is blown out of proportion, but my speed is solid. Maybe one day when I face him, he won't be as fast as me!" Lister laughed.
"Yes yes yes, you are the most powerful!!" Hearing Lister's words, Nami couldn't help but joke.
"Alright, let's not stand here anymore, time to go back!!" Lister shook his head and smiled.
"Go back??" Nami asked somewhat unhappily.
How long had they been off the ship, and they had to go back already?
"I'm preparing to take you to meet Enel." Lister said.
"Where does that guy live??" Nami asked.
"In the sky!" Lister pointed to the sky above his head.
"In the sky??" Nami glanced at Lister with an expression that said 'are you kidding me'.
"Is there really a Sky Island up there??"
Robin was knowledgeable.
Hearing Lister's words, she immediately associated it with Sky Island.
"Robin is knowledgeable, unlike Nami-chan whose head is empty, having no insight at all!" Lister teased.
"Before you praised me as a good wife, now you start to disdain me. Hmph, men are big pigs' trotters!" Nami hmphed unhappily.
"Sky Island?? Does that mean an island floating in the sky??" Nojiko asked curiously.
"Correct! That's what it means! Before, I always thought this was a legend. I didn't expect Sky Island to really exist." Robin smiled faintly.
"Then how should we go up??" Nojiko looked up at the sky and asked somewhat blankly.
"For this kind of thing, naturally, we find a local to help." Lister smiled faintly.
"Let's go."
The local Lister spoke of.
Not the trash on Jaya Island, but the descendant of Mont Blanc Noland.
The Mont Blanc Cricket who was bent on proving that his ancestor did not lie.
After Lister took Nami and the others back to the fleet.
Seeing that Zoro and the others hadn't returned.
He had someone prepare a small boat that could hold twenty people.
Then, he took Nami and the other girls to visit Mont Blanc Cricket.
When Lister and the others arrived at Mont Blanc's house.
Mont Blanc Cricket, Masira, and Shoujou were all there.
Seeing the Money ship.
They were instantly alert.
"Who are you?? What are you doing here??" The large monkey immediately shouted.
"My name is Lister!" Lister smiled faintly.
"I came here specifically to visit Mr. Cricket!!"
"Lister? That great pirate with a bounty of two hundred million Berries, Godspeed Lister??" Cricket was surprised upon hearing Lister's words.
Then he sized up the pirate flag on the Money ship.
Correct, that Money Pirate flag, no mistake.
However, why would a great pirate like Lister visit a nobody like him?
What was the situation??
"That's right, it's me!" Lister nodded, calmly admitting his identity.
"A big shot like you? Looking for me, what business do you have??" Cricket asked, feeling somewhat wary of Lister.
"I want to go up there and take a look, but I don't know the eruption time of the Knock Up Stream, so I'm here to ask you for advice!" Lister pointed to the sky and said.
