With a "smack," the excited Hancock heavily kissed Kevin's cheek.
The next second.
Hancock's face and body turned red, steaming, and she was on the verge of fainting.
"Captain, I want one too!" The crazy Belo Betty was eager to try.
"Stop, stop, stop."
Kevin was really afraid they would act recklessly.
"Oh, right, Robin, there are Poneglyphs in the forest, you can go search for them."
Robin was overjoyed.
The excited Robin almost acted on impulse too.
...
Sky Island, without Eneru's era, was peaceful and friendly.
The Sun and Moon Pirates experienced the local customs of Sky Island.
The women frolicked and played in the sea of clouds.
Gion flew at low altitude to protect them.
Only Shaki remained, sitting by the shore with Kevin.
"Shaki, are you really unwilling to travel with us?" Kevin extended an invitation.
"It's not that Shaki isn't giving you face, Captain Kevin, it's just that I'm willing but unable."
"Because you've been retired for too long?" Kevin also had a guess.
Because of age?
"Shaki, if I had a way, would you..."
"Captain Kevin, you mustn't go looking for rare items that could help me just because of me. Treasures that can resist the erosion of time are too precious and hard to come by. How many overlords have searched their entire lives and never found them? Kevin, you mustn't waste your energy on this."
Shaki looked at Kevin seriously.
Rocks had searched before.
Even with the vast power of the Rocks Pirates, who ruled the entire New World, they couldn't obtain it.
Shaki was unwilling for Kevin to waste his time on something that was destined to be impossible.
Even if he found it, it should be used on himself, not on an old woman like me from the old era.
"Kevin, promise me you won't waste time on me, otherwise Shaki will be angry." Shaki urged repeatedly.
"Alright."
Kevin decided to tell Shaki in detail after he obtained the Mythical Zoan Vampire Fruit.
Kevin clapped his hands.
He stood up and said to the women playing wildly in the sea of clouds, "Alright, it's about time to leave."
"Yes, Captain."
A large group of beautiful women in cool swimsuits ran towards Kevin.
...
After they changed their clothes.
Kevin finally calmed the fire in his heart.
"Depart, for Sky Island Birka."
Over the past few days, the location of Birka had been investigated.
It was a small Sky Island in the southern region.
It was also Eneru's hometown.
The most likely place for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to appear.
The Tomorrow sailed south along the sea of clouds formed by perilous white clouds.
The white clouds were ever-changing.
Without Shaki's profound navigation skills, the Tomorrow would sooner or later fall from the cloud river.
This was also why every power attached great importance to navigators.
Shaki observed the changes in the sea of clouds.
She still had the energy to chat with Kevin.
"It's rumored on the sea that the World Government is going to establish a special department, an organization formed by pirates, seeking powerful pirates to cooperate with the World Government, called the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The momentum is great, and the World Government should be determined to succeed. Kevin, what do you think? Will it be dangerous for you all?"
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
Kevin was not surprised.
It was around this time that the Shichibukai were about to emerge.
"The Shichibukai is a joke."
Shaki chuckled after a moment of stunned silence, "You're much more domineering than a year ago."
She recalled her first encounter with Kevin on the Sabaody Archipelago less than a year ago.
Comparing him to now, she said, "Kevin, you're becoming more and more like a king."
"Shaki, you don't need to praise me anymore; they've already praised me enough."
Shaki continued to chat casually with Kevin.
"Kevin, why go to such great lengths to visit a small sky island?"
Shaki was very curious.
"To search for the possible Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
Shaki was astonished.
The super-powerful Devil Fruit from legends.
Could it really exist on a sky island?
"If you get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Kevin, you could totally go to the New World and become a Sea Emperor." Shaki, usually calm, couldn't help but be happy for Kevin.
Kevin smiled, "Becoming a Sea Emperor still requires the help of a fruit?"
Shaki stared at Kevin blankly for a moment.
It was as if she saw a shadow.
The shadow of Rocks, the former King of the World.
No!
There was also Roger's shadow.
Shaki was even more convinced that Kevin would surpass them.
"All I can do is safely bring the Tomorrow to its destination."
Shaki composed herself.
She carefully observed the changes in the sea of clouds, not allowing any of her own mistakes to affect the safety of the Sun and Moon Pirates.
Ten days later.
With a "bang."
The Tomorrow fell from a narrow cloud river onto the sea of clouds, with a sky island supported by white clouds on the shore.
The area was not large.
It was a small island with a diameter of only a few kilometers.
Bika Sky Island.
"We're here." Shaki let out a long breath.
Shaki, who had been observing the changes in the sea of clouds constantly, showed visible fatigue.
"Makino, you stay on the ship and take care of Shaki while she rests. Everyone else, follow me onto the island."
After giving his orders, Kevin led everyone onto Bika Sky Island.
Having seen more prosperous large sky islands,
the women looked at Bika Sky Island without their initial excitement.
"Kevin, do you have an accurate location?" Gion asked.
They all knew they were here to search for the possible Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
They were all fired up.
Having spent so much time and effort, even if they had to dig up the entire sky island, they were determined to find the legendary Rumble-Rumble Fruit, known as the strongest ability, for Kevin.
Only the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was worthy of being their captain's ability.
