No matter how powerful Divine Departure was, it still had its limits.
Unlike a certain bear's Devil Fruit ability, Hamr could clearly feel his body gradually recovering while flying through the air, and his speed was beginning to slow down.
If his senses weren't mistaken, he had only flown several dozen kiloters so far.
Actually, this wasn't Roger's fault.
The reason Hamr flew so far was entirely because of his own Devil Fruit ability.
Although the hamr strikes had lost against Divine Departure, the shockwave effect still remained.
It just beca a reverse effect.
The shockwave had been carried away by the slash and blasted Hamr flying all at once.
"DAMN IT! If I fall into the White-White Sea, I'm dead for sure!"
"My body! Hurry up and start moving again!"
Feeling himself beginning to descend, Hamr panicked and desperately tried moving his body.
Finally, just as he was about to hit the cloud sea, his body recovered enough to move again.
Hamr frantically stomped through the air with both legs, activating Geppo.
Only then did he avoid plunging into the cloud sea.
Using Geppo, Hamr quickly gained altitude again and began searching for sowhere to land.
Soon, he spotted an Island Cloud with so buildings atop it.
Although the place looked fairly ordinary.
But at this point, any landing spot was good news.
Hamr casually summoned a flying sword and shot toward the Island Cloud with a whoosh.
After flying for a while, Hamr finally landed.
But before he could even take a few steps, a group of Sky Islanders surrounded him.
The leader sized Hamr up arrogantly from head to toe.
"A Blue Sea person? Rare sight. To think soone actually ca to Birka."
"According to Birka's regulations, any Blue Sea person who steps foot here must pay one billion Extol."
"That's equivalent to one hundred thousand Beli from your Blue Sea."
'What the hell? Another entrance fee? Birka? Why does that sound so familiar?'
Hamr imdiately looked around carefully.
It was indeed a Sky Island.
Although the Island Cloud didn't seem small, it also wasn't very large.
A vast expanse of white.
Compared to Angel Island, it was far inferior.
Well, that couldn't be helped.
Angel Island possessed Upper Yard, land blasted up from the Blue Sea, sothing other Sky Islands simply didn't have.
From Hamr's perception, Birka's population wasn't small.
Although it seed sowhat inferior to Angel Island, it was still quite a prosperous Sky Island.
And if this really was Birka...
Heh.
That damned Roger had indirectly blasted him all the way here.
Not bad.
Not bad at all...
"100,000 Beli? Small change. Here."
Hamr casually took out 100,000 Beli and handed it over.
Seeing him pay so easily, the man nodded, pocketed the money, and turned to leave.
Watching their departing backs, Hamr grinned.
"Birka, huh... Birka... I hope I find sothing worthwhile here."
With a try-and-see mindset, Hamr slowly walked toward the white cloud-built town.
Birka was ordinary.
At least in Hamr's eyes.
White houses atop white clouds, filled with Sky Islanders dressed in white.
'Mm... not nearly as fun as Angel Island.'
Although the marketplace also sold many kinds of Dials, Hamr had already bought plenty at Angel Island and had zero interest anymore.
Instead, after wandering around for quite a while, he still hadn't found what he wanted.
Entering a restaurant, Hamr casually ordered two Dial-based al sets and began eating while deep in thought.
"By all logic, Enel should've been born in Birka."
"At this point in ti, he should only be twelve years old, right?"
"So where exactly did he obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
"And how did he uncover the secrets of the moon?"
"Strange. My Observation Haki hasn't detected anything unusual."
"And Birka isn't nearly as massive as Upper Yard either."
For a mont, Hamr fell silent.
Staring at the endless White-White Sea, Hamr suddenly froze.
'Wait a second...'
He slowly put down his food and stood up, staring intently at the distant cloud sea.
To Sky Islanders, the White-White Sea also served another purpose, punishnt for criminals.
This punishnt was called "Cloud Drifting."
It ant throwing both person and ship into the White-White Sea and leaving them to drift until death.
Once soone entered the endless White-White Sea, there was basically no option except drifting endlessly,
Unless they sohow knew the direction.
Thinking about this punishnt, then thinking about Enel's violent personality,
Hamr suddenly realized sothing.
But right now, he couldn't act alone.
Lance and the others were still searching for him.
Thinking this, Hamr pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his coat.
Looking at the sleeping snail, Hamr felt a little speechless.
Shirley had practically forced it into his hands earlier, saying she was worried he'd go missing again.
And now it had actually happened.
The mighty Hamr had lived gloriously his whole life, so why did he always end up getting beaten into losing contact?
pururu puru
"Hello? Lance? It's . I'm not dead!"
"Bastard! Don't curse ! Keep talking like that and I'll hamr you into the deck."
"I'm in the south. Keep heading south."
"If you see an Island Cloud, don't land. This place is a black-hearted island, they charge entrance fees."
"We've got too many people. Can't afford it. We're poor!"
"Call when you're close. I'll fly out to et you."
"That's it. Click!"
After hanging up, Hamr looked around.
'It would still take so ti for the Warhamr to arrive.'
'During this period... enel should still just be a child.'
Hamr decided to search for the future destroyer of Birka first.
Relying on his mory, he headed toward places Enel might appear.
As he walked, Hamr thought deeply.
Without realizing it, he had already passed through the lively streets and arrived behind Birka's town, at a comparatively desolate area.
He noticed several dilapidated old buildings.
Just as he prepared to investigate further, a figure suddenly descended from above.
Hamr focused his gaze.
It was a young boy holding a wooden stick, glaring viciously at him.
Looking at the immature yet strangely familiar face, Hamr instantly confird the boy before him was Enel.
However, his eyes were currently filled with hostility.
Hamr realized that at this point, Enel had not yet beco the "God" ruling Sky Island.
He was rely a child.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?!"
Before Hamr could speak, Enel had already questioned him.
He even stepped forward, pointing the wooden stick at Hamr.
Hamr felt speechless.
'Why did Enel love sticks so much?'
'Right now it was a wooden stick.
'In the future it would beco a golden staff.'
'Sigh.'
'Wouldn't another weapon be better?'
Thinking this, Hamr suddenly decided to tease him a little.
"?"
"I'm God."
"Bullshit! There's no such thing as gods!"
"And if there were, I'd beat them flat!"
"..."
'Wait.''
'Why was this developnt completely different from his future???'
"Kid, have you ever seen a god before?"
"No."
"Then how do you know a god wouldn't look like ?"
"Because a god wouldn't have shellfish at hanging from his mouth!"
Hamr was horrified.
He imdiately reached toward his mouth.
Well damn.
Turns out he'd gotten food all over himself and completely forgotten to wipe it off.
