One Piece: Chosen by the Sea Strongest Swordsman Chapter 70 - 70

Ti passed quickly, and soon it was February 5, Year 1511 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

"It's pointing up—! The Eternal Pose is pointing up, Nii-san, co look!"

At noon, while the four were enjoying their lunch break, El—who was feeding the pterosaur tied to the stern—suddenly heard Nami's excited shout from the bow.

A mont later, Nami ca running over.

She held up the Eternal Pose on her wrist and said excitedly,"Nii-san, the Eternal Pose is pointing toward the sky! Have we entered that special sea area where a Sky Island is suspected?"

"We'll know if we go up and take a look," El said calmly, smiling as he patted the pterosaur, which had beco extrely docile.

"Yes! We're going to Sky Island!" Nami cheered.

Carina and Kuina were just as excited.

The three girls quickly returned to the cabin and packed their belongings. Each of them carried a small bag.

El also ca out with a backpack containing the remaining Nutritional Supplents, spare clothes, and items purchased from the black market.

"Hehehe… it's ti for you to play your part."

Carina handed her bag to Nami, walked up to the pterosaur, patted its body, and opened her mouth under its wide, intelligent eyes.

She bit down on its shoulder.

Before the pterosaur could even cry out, its massive body seed to be swallowed by a black hole—sliding into Carina's mouth like jelly and disappearing into Baku Baku Space.

In the next instant, Carina's body began to transform.

From the neck down, her slender human form rapidly expanded and reshaped into the enormous body of a pterosaur. Only her head remained human.

Her height jumped from 148 centiters to over five ters in an instant.

Originally, she could barely carry Nami on her back.

Now, carrying several people would pose no problem at all.

When her wings—transford from her arms—fully spread out, her wingspan exceeded ten ters.

"That's incredible, Carina… your physique has grown even stronger," Nami exclaid.

Having trained Three Heads and Six Arms with Carina every day, she was already familiar with the Baku Baku no Mi—but still couldn't help being amazed.

"I thought you could only transform into half the pterosaur's size. I didn't expect a complete transformation!"

"Hehehe…" Carina laughed proudly, then urged them,"Co on, get on quickly! Maintaining this form drains stamina!"

El grabbed Nami and Kuina, leapt up, and settled them onto Carina's back.

"I'm taking off!"

Carina spread her massive wings. A violent airflow surged outward as she launched into the sky.

The pterosaur truly lived up to its reputation as an extinct apex flier.

Most birds struggled to continue climbing after reaching a certain altitude.

But Carina needed only a few powerful wingbeats.

In monts, she beca a black dot in the sky.

With a few more flaps, the ship below completely vanished from sight.

"Wow—so this is what flying feels like!" Carina shouted excitedly.

"It's amazing! I'm starting to like the Baku Baku no Mi more and more!"

Nami, clinging tightly to El alongside Kuina, couldn't help comnting,"The three core abilities of the Baku Baku no Mi—digestion, transformation, and synthesis—are just absurd."

Kuina nodded in agreent."Eat a gun, and you beco a gun. Eat a house, and you beco a house. If not for its weakness to seawater and seastone—and the ti limit—Carina could devour every creature in the world and gain all their talents."

"If there were no ti limit," El said with a smile,"the Baku Baku no Mi wouldn't just be a top-tier Paracia. It would be the strongest Devil Fruit among all three categories."

"That's right," Nami added."If there were no limit, Carina could even eat other Devil Fruit users."

While they spoke, Carina carried them higher and higher.

Soon, they reached an altitude of over six thousand ters.

The White Sea, located nearly seven kiloters above the ocean, was now only a few hundred ters away.

"Nami, Kuina—take one item from my backpack," El said, steadying the two of them.

"Got it!"

Knowing exactly what he ant, Nami and Kuina opened the backpack and took out two pink corals.

These were not decorations.

They were Bubbly Corals—a special resource from Fish-Man Island, which lay ten thousand ters beneath the sea.

As the na implied, Bubbly Corals produced bubbles of astonishing durability.

Even the crushing pressure of the deep sea could not burst them.

That was why people familiar with Fish-Man Island often carried Bubbly Coral—to survive underwater environnts.

Naturally, they were extrely popular items in both Sabaody Archipelago and the black market.

El had discovered them by chance while purchasing Seastone handcuffs.

Originally, El had planned to rely on his physique—carrying the three girls and swimming up once Carina lost lift near the White Sea.

With Bubbly Coral, however, there was no need for such hardship.

"Get ready," El warned calmly."When Carina charges into the clouds, squeeze the coral."

"Yes!"

Nami and Kuina nodded firmly.

As the white clouds drew closer and closer, their fingers tightened around the Bubbly Corals in their hands.
