"Th-that damn Kyle!!"
"He actually just abandoned me like this!"
Sabo cursed Kyle while ascending using Moonwalk.
At this moment, Sabo's clothes were completely soaked; far above his head were thick white clouds, and not far beneath his feet was likewise an endless white ocean.
He had just burst through the White Sea and now needed to continue flying up to the even higher White-White Sea.
If not for his years of diligent physical training, he really couldn't have directly flown to Sky Island by relying solely on Moonwalk.
Ask yourself, what fool would do this?
It was all Kyle's fault for forcing him to become a fool!
But at the same time, it further fueled his desire for the power of a Logia-type Devil Fruit.
Look at Kyle, transforming into thunder and lightning; after a few crackling sounds, he was gone to who knows where—unlike him, who had to bitterly slog away with Moonwalk.
That was the difference!!
If he could really find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit this time...
Sabo's mind couldn't help but conjure an image of himself after mastering the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; then he could fly as fast as Kyle, he could cheat too!!
Thinking of this, an uncontrollable smile curled on Sabo's lips, but it looked somewhat foolish...

On the other side, Kyle was enjoying Sky Island cuisine on Angel Island.
Although most residents on Sky Island were from the Skypiean race, normal humans did exist there as well.
Trade occasionally occurred between Sky Islands, and between Sky Islands and the Blue Sea.
Therefore, Kyle's presence did not draw any strange looks from the angels on Angel Island.
After a short while, Kyle finished eating and arrived at the sea clouds on the White-White Sea beach of Angel Island.
What to do after a meal?
Take a walk, of course!!
While walking, Kyle suddenly pulled something from his pocket—a dark red spiral shell.
Shell culture was the core civilizational symbol of Sky Island, with shell applications permeating all aspects of residents' lives, combat, transportation, and more.
It could be said that virtually everything was related to shells.
And the shell in Kyle's hand was naturally the shell that appeared most frequently in the original story—the Impact Dial!
Impact Dial, as the name suggests, was a shell that released an impact!
Kyle held it in his hand and aimed it at the island cloud beside him.
Boom—
A blast of impact erupted from the Impact Dial, instantly blasting a large crater into the island cloud at that spot.
A faint white smoke also emanated from the Impact Dial.
Watching the effect caused by this shockwave, Kyle only wanted to say one thing.
Trash!!
However, the purpose of Kyle testing this Impact Dial was never about its power; he merely wanted to play with it.
Actually, he would have preferred to play with a Reject Dial rather than an Impact Dial, but unfortunately, Reject Dials were almost impossible to obtain through legitimate means on the island.
After all, its recoil was still too strong for the people of Sky Island, posing a great risk to life, so naturally it wasn't in circulation.
But it didn't matter; having it or not was fine, since he was just playing around anyway.
The power displayed by the Reject Dial in the original story wasn't even as strong as a casual thunderbolt from him, so playing with it or not made little difference.
Just then, as if sensing something, Kyle looked in a certain direction and a smile appeared on his lips.
"So slow getting here!!"
Within his perception, Sabo had already flown out of the White-White Sea and was currently flying toward his direction, guided by the Vivre Card in his hand.
Since Sabo had arrived, it was time to get down to business!!
Heading to Birka to find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!!
In the original story, Enel destroyed his homeland Birka in the year 1516 of the Sea Circle Calendar, then came to Angel Island, defeated Gan Fall, and seized the position of Sky Island God.
Afterwards, he ruled Sky Island for six long years, until he met Luffy and was defeated, ending his reign.
Now it was the year 1514 of the Sea Circle Calendar; Enel most likely hadn't eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit yet.
Why say this?
Because Enel felt not a trace of attachment to his homeland Birka, only hatred.
It was precisely because of this that he destroyed Birka!!
And given his hatred for Birka, if he had obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit early on, he would have been impatient to destroy Birka long ago; could he have held back for so long?
Therefore, based on this inference, Enel probably hadn't eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit yet.
Of course, this was all speculation; Kyle couldn't be certain whether he had eaten it or not!
But the answers to these questions would all become clear once he arrived at Birka.
With a wave of Kyle's hand, a warship appeared on the White-White Sea, and his form transformed into a flash of purple lightning, instantly appearing on the warship's deck.
For the trip to Birka, he would use the warship; otherwise, he feared Sabo might secretly poison his meals in the future.
Before long, Sabo arrived on the warship. The moment he stood on the deck, his legs gave way, he dropped to his knees, then lay on his back.
Harsh, ragged breaths continuously escaped Sabo's mouth, his chest rising and falling.
Most amusingly, Sabo's legs twitched uncontrollably from time to time.
To describe it vividly, it was like when cooking bullfrog, you dip the frog in hot water and its legs instantly retract and clench tight.
It was incredibly amusing!
But Kyle, as Sabo's older brother, faced with his younger brother's rather undignified situation, he really couldn't help but...
"Hahaha..."
Kyle doubled over clutching his stomach, laughing heartily, tears almost squeezing out, while simultaneously producing a Visual Den Den Mushi. Recording Sabo's current state, he spoke while laughing:
"No way, no way!! I absolutely have to copy something this funny, and show them later!"
"I can take it out now and then to reminisce too, hahaha!!!"
Kyle's laughter was incredibly loud, prolonged, with no sign of stopping whatsoever.
Faced with his younger brother in this state, of course he couldn't hold back his laughter.
When close people embarrass themselves, that's when you laugh the hardest!!
"You bastard, don't film that!!"
Seeing this, Sabo immediately panicked and tried to stand up to snatch the Visual Den Den Mushi from Kyle's hand. But as soon as he got up, his legs involuntarily jumped again, sending his whole body leaping.
Like a frog, he traced an elegant arc through the air before ultimately hitting the ship's railing with a dull thud.
(⊙o⊙)...
Kyle was stunned for a moment, followed by even more exaggerated laughter.
"Hahaha! Seriously?! Sabo, maybe we shouldn't look for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit anymore?!"
"I think the Frog Fruit might suit you better. Did you see that jump just now? Truly, it was elegant!! Hahaha..."
"KYLE!!!"
Sabo shouted, abruptly lifting his head, his gaze fixed on Kyle who was convulsing with laughter ahead.
If not for this guy Kyle, would he have needed to trudge step by step with Moonwalk up to the White-White Sea?
His damn legs were almost worn out from it, and now he was even laughing at him. The more Sabo thought about it, the angrier he got, so he once again executed an elegant frog leap, jumping directly at Kyle.
"I'll kill you!!"
