[One Day Later]
Rosse and the others prepared to board the ship. Today was the day they left the Skypiea.
"You all go on the ship first."
Glancing at Conia who stood in front of him to see him off, Rosse looked toward Gion and the others.
Moa simply curled her lips and pulled Stella onto the ship.
They wouldn't stay on Skypiea either. With those elites from Jaygar District, it was enough to manage Skypiea.
In addition, with the local Conia present, it could also ensure that those elites wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
"You lost the bet, you know," Sora laughed softly and leaned close to Gion's ear, speaking in a low voice.
"He really changed his nature. He actually didn't eat Conia," Gion raised her eyebrows, still finding it a bit unbelievable.
The key point was, she had made a bet with Sora on this, and in the end, she lost.
"Don't forget the wager~", Sora tiptoed, patted Gion on the shoulder, glanced at Gion's collapsed expression, and snuck onto the ship with a laugh.
Their wager actually wasn't big.
It was just that next time the three of them sparred, she would give Rosse a push from behind to ensure Gion could spar to her heart's content.
"I'll win it back next time," Gion glared at Rosse and stepped onto the ship with her long legs.
Rosse took in the expressions of the two, only smiling slightly at the corners of his mouth.
Anyway, the one who benefitted was him, so he didn't care how they fussed.
Usually, Sora and Gion got along very well, this was already enough for him.
At this moment, only Rosse and Conia were left beneath the ship.
"Lord Rosse," Conia's voice was very soft, carrying a slight imperceptible tremble, and a thick reluctance.
Rosse hadn't been here long, but these past few days felt like a dream to her.
Perhaps, to step into the depths of a woman's heart really only needed just a moment.
For Conia, there had truly been too many such moments.
It was the moment when death approached and Rosse lightly twisted his fingertips to freeze the bullet.
It was the moment when strong enemies surrounded them and Rosse flicked his finger to annihilate them.
It was the moment when gods knelt, Rosse slashed his halberd, and lands sank into abyss.
It was the moment of playing music, Rosse's eyebrows relaxed, and his eyes gently lowered.
These countless moments formed the girl's heartbeat.
Rosse forcefully broke into her life and left an indelible mark in her heart.
This kind of feeling, if it could be maintained forever, would be so wonderful.
'Lord Rosse, I will come find you,' But on the surface, Conia quickly collected her emotions, "Before that, I'll help you manage Skypiea."
"The time of the World Conference is not far, I'll wait for you at the Holy Land then," Rosse smiled at the corners of his mouth, gently extended his hand, and pulled Conia into his arms.
Lowering his head slightly, he touched Conia's red lips.
After a long time, the two finally separated.
"I'm off," Rosse waved his hand and stepped toward the ship, leaving only a back view for Conia.
"Lord Rosse...", Conia looked at that back, responding to the feeling that her heart was about to leap out, with a slight blush on her face, momentarily dazed.
Watching Rosse board the ship, until the ship disappeared into the distance, Conia reluctantly withdrew her gaze and turned back home, "Lord Rosse, the next time I see you, I'll let you see a different Skypiea."
———
Returning home, taking a deep breath, Conia took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Zannie's number.
"Miss Zannie, I would like to ask you to teach me, so that I can have the ability to become a Special District Governor." Conia said seriously.
["Hmm?",] From Zannie's voice, it was clearly filled with confusion and a trace of mental breakdown.
"Please," Conia pursed her lips and said.
["Alright, since it's an idea from both you and His Highness."]
Zannie sighed tiredly, but what could she do?
One sheep or two sheep, she couldn't refuse anyway.
'Really, why is it that the one spreading legs isn't me, but the one exhausted is me?'
"Miss Zannie, thank you, you're such a good person."
———
"Are we really going to fly down?", On the ship, Moa asked with some uncertainty.
Last time when they went up to Skypiea, she had been nearly scared to death.
Now thinking they had to go down again, her face turned even paler.
Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention.
Everyone knew, with Moa's strength, following the ship in descent wouldn't be a problem at all, at most just a bit of panic.
"Reiju's side is fine, right?", Stella asked worriedly.
Gion and Zephyr on the other side also cast concerned looks.
They could provide close protection to Reiju, but under the huge downward force, they couldn't eliminate the sensation of falling.
"It's fine, His Highness will protect Reiju," Sora, on the contrary, wasn't worried at all. It wasn't that she didn't care about Reiju, but that she had already considered this and made a contingency plan with Rosse.
"If you guys want a thrill, I can add a little excitement," Rosse said with a light laugh.
"What's the play?", Gion got interested.
"I'll take Reiju down, you carry the ship and fly down," Rosse said with a lifted corner of his mouth.
"Why not switch it?", Gion rolled her eyes, 'What a joke. This is simply impossible.'
Not that she lacked strength. But the bottom of the ship was made of Seastone, she couldn't exert any force at all. It would only result in shipwreck and casualties.
"I can give it a try," Zephyr thought for a moment and felt he could try.
He hadn't made a move in a long time. The last time he gave his all was rushing to South Sea to save Rogue.
If he didn't train his body, it would rust.
"Then leave the ship to Zephyr, Gion is responsible for emergency rescue, I'll take Reiju,".Seeing Zephyr interested, Rosse immediately confirmed the plan.
He and Gion both had flying abilities. Even if Zephyr couldn't hold on, they could quickly intervene for support.
"Wait, are you all seriously going to risk your lives?", Moa's face showed a trace of fear.
They were now ten thousand meters in the air, and she knew Zephyr had no Devil Fruit powers.
Carrying the ship and jumping down from ten thousand meters, what kind of joke was that?
"Trust them," Stella walked over to Moa, smiling as she covered Moa's mouth.
This kind of fun activity was rare to come by.
Sailing and adventuring needed these things to be interesting.
Of course, the most important part was, this was proposed by Rosse. Even if it was life-threatening, she would still try it.
"You all are crazy!", Moa couldn't speak, but her eyes were already expressing that meaning.
"ALRIGHT, LET'S GO!"
With Rosse's shout.
BOOM!
"AHHHHH!"
Accompanied by Moa's scream, the ship shot down from the White Sea, plunging toward the sea below.
At the same time, Zephyr straightforwardly jumped to the bottom of the ship, lifting the hundred-meter ship with both hands, stepping on Moonwalk to continuously reduce the ship's speed.
