Chapter 110 – Fujitora

In the pile of treasures, Buggy had also seen the nautical chart. Naturally, he knew that the chart marked a floating island high in the sky, ten thousand meters above ground.

Having traveled with the Pirate King Roger, Buggy was not surprised by the idea of an island in the sky.

While others might not believe in such an island, Buggy did.

"Why not?"

Arton lifted his head, smiling as he looked up at the sky.

Buggy's eyes darted around as he rubbed his hands and approached Arton.

"Uh, Arton, if you're going to Sky Island, could you take me along?"

"If we find anything there, we can still split it fifty-fifty."

On the chart, the island in the sky was prominently marked.

Buggy thought that this might mean there was a lot of treasure on the island.

"You want to go together, Buggy?"

Arton raised an eyebrow, looking at Buggy with interest.

"Want to? Of course, I want to!"

Buggy nodded vigorously.

"Even if the floating island above belongs to Golden Lion Shiki?"

Arton's smile deepened.

"Golden Lion's, so what? I... wait, who did you say?!"

Buggy's eyes widened in horror as he looked at Arton.

"Golden Lion Shiki, the legendary pirate who once rivaled the Pirate King Roger."

Arton laughed.

Buggy's mouth fell open, and he was silent for a long time.

In the end, he chose to retreat slowly.

Even though he wasn't sure if what Arton said was true, having witnessed the terrifying power of Golden Lion firsthand, Buggy did not want to face him.

Arton saw Buggy's reaction and merely smiled, not minding much.

After taking another look at the massive clouds in the sky, he opened his own nautical diary system.

[Shiki can make many islands float freely at an altitude of ten thousand meters.]

[If my guess is correct, behind those massive clouds lies Shiki's base.]

[Unfortunately, I haven't awakened Observation Haki, let alone possess the extraordinary ability to sense meteors like the future Admiral Fujitora. So, I can't "see" the situation ten thousand meters high in the sky. I'll have to go up there myself to find out if Shiki is really there.]

[The problem is, how can I fly to such an altitude? There's no upward current here that can carry me and my ship to ten thousand meters high.]

[Tch, if only I had Fujitora's abilities.]

[With his powers, not only could I use Observation Haki to see the situation at that height, I could also use his Devil Fruit ability to fly up there directly.]

[Wait, if I had Fujitora's abilities, I wouldn't even need to go to Shiki's territory. I could just draw a circle and use his power to pull him down from the sky.]

[After all, Fujitora is someone who can casually pull down meteors.]

[In a way, Fujitora's abilities are a natural counter to Shiki's powers.]

[If these two ever met, it would be quite an interesting encounter.]

[No, to pull down a meteor, Fujitora's Devil Fruit ability and his Observation Haki are both indispensable.]

[If someone else used Fujitora's powers, they might not be able to pull down the floating islands of Shiki.]

[Indeed, only when Fujitora uses his powers can it be considered a true counter to Shiki's Float-Float Fruit.]

Charlotte Smoothie: "Are you kidding me? Observation Haki that can sense meteors?! Doesn't that mean this Fujitora's Observation Haki is stronger than Katakuri's?!"

Black Maria: "A Devil Fruit ability that can pull down meteors? That's... a disaster-level power."

Whitey Bay: "Pulling down meteors, such destructive power might even rival Father's Tremor-Tremor Fruit. What kind of Devil Fruit power does this Fujitora have?"

Monet: "Isn't this Fujitora not yet an Admiral? If we could get him to join the Young Master's camp, the Donquixote Family wouldn't even have to fear the Four Emperors."

Gion: "This Fujitora possesses such power? His destructive capability might even rival Sakazuki's. No wonder he can become an Admiral in the future."

Doll: "Since he is willing to become an Admiral, Fujitora must have a strong sense of justice. If we could invite him to join the Navy early, the Navy's power would grow significantly."

Kujaku: "It's a pity that Arton didn't reveal his appearance or even the name of his Devil Fruit. Speaking of which, would someone with such strength really be willing to join the military and climb step by step to the position of Admiral?"

Arton's mere hint of Fujitora's power piqued everyone's interest in this future Admiral.

However, most of their attention was still focused on Arton's plan to seek out Shiki.

Thus, when they saw that Arton's diary continued, they turned their attention back to their own diary copies.
