The ship sailed out from its first ever island it ever anchored on, with them travelling on the open waters again, Laffite has nagivated through the entire start of the journey . Now with his better understanding of the grandline, many natural occurences were smoothly travelled through.
Now thats told, the distance from where they sailed from the comauflouge is over hundreds of miles out. However, for the specfic length to be told, it really can't be judged, as the island as masked itself with the surrounding making it hard for the log pose to pick up its magnetic field. Also, noone can really accurately tell that if the island is moving, where it would be under the influences of phenomenoms like an ice cold sea or a stormy weather environment.
Therefore, it you want to precisely infer where the location and how far its from your postion, its bascially impossible. How Joshua and his crew stumbled upon this island was nothing but mere coincidence, you wanting to say you want to find this island. Even if generations come after you when you die, they may not find the island at all.
The grandline is huge and many things happen around on a regular basis, risking your live in such troublesome waters just to to find some island isn't really not worth. So when Joshua and everyone left, they set their straight sights ahead. They have just simply stayed there and used it for their benefits, then went out. There no sort of sad faces or hesitation when leaving the island. Everything was just a simply passing through, nothing more and nothing less.

Splash...
A huge palm was blasted from out the sea water, the four fingers which were in a widen format, had four pointed nails which were faintly bent. The long angled slim hand, that was of a dark green colour which was mixed with muddy brown slammed onto the ship which was sailing in the open sea.
Guzen figure flashed right in front of it, then made one slash along the sky. Then right at that moment, a pale grey colour slit diagonally along the palm of the creature. Before it was split into halves, the gray thin line multiplied into more grey slashes. Then the creature's hand disecting into numerous pieces. At that moment in time, as if the beast was roaring in pain.
Huge amounts of bubbles were formed at the surface of the water as blood and the diced hand fell down , beating on them. The sea creature roared as it burst its head from sea, the muddy brown colour was more abundant on its body as it looked around with its side bulged eyes. The lizard looking sea creature, swirled its head around them up, then flashed its slimy sticky tongue out.
It stood high in the sea, as it pulled its other hand from the water, then immediately dropped it towards the ship. Guzen eyes flashed a little as he drew his gun, his gun's mouth sparkled a little as he shoot two rounds of bullets. The bullets broke through the air at terrible speed as it jammed right into the socket of the creature.
But it didn't stop there, the back of its pattern like head bulged, then the bullets pierced right through. Feeling its sight being lost, the lizard creature roared in a high pitched distorted voice as its staggers to and fro in the sea weirdly. Blood leaked from its eyes as it flashes it tongue and hand all around the sea.
Guzen whose figure became dark, slashed sideways and the marine galapagos lizard who has become the onlt source of light. Was subsequently later sliced in a cut open Z format, its heads fell off, from its upper mouth region, its stomach was cut slantly and its other hand was divided in two equal halves. Blood filled the blue sky as the sea lizard drop dead, and because of this, the ship rocked as the waves dispersed.
"We have never stopped meeting sea creatures these days, " Guzen sheated back his weapons as he lightly rocked with the swaying of the ship.
"It can't be helped, its the grandline afterall, Laffitte smiled as he straighten his collar and fixated his hat. Otherwise from the natural phenomenoms of the grandline they pass through timely, they have encountered several creatures right throughout this period. With the 2 years went by, many things in the great route's water has become more fiercer and the creatures they run in on are much huge than two years in the past.
"Laffitte have you picked up the magnetic field of the Sky island," Joshua who was seated on the deck's lawn and looking on Shanks poster asked as he turned his head to where Laffitte stood.
"Yes, immediately after we sail out of this wavy ocean, the log pose should have an exact reading," Laffitte talked as he looked an the pointer which pointed straight ahead.
"Good," Joshua nodded as he throw away the paper.
The ship made its way through the constant waves of the ocean to an area where the sea was complete still. No huge surrounding water ripples were seen just a flat ocean water top. Everyone waited for something to happened, but only the silent flow of the winds repeatedly went by.
"What know," Guzen who has pick up this oddness, swept his gaze over to the tall figure.
"It seems we are a little late, we have missed the knock up stream," Laffitte said as he looked at the 'dead' sea surface. The knock stream what Laffitte just mentioned is a powerful stream that shoots upwards towards the sky. Such a pressurized thing happend in the Blue seas is because of a compressed underwater cave filled with gas. Anytime it reaches a certain point, it will release a shrap, instant pillar of water right in the air.
Now the reason why Laffitte said they missed it because, this only happens 5 times for the month and the time the stream shoot happen was a 1 day ago.
" It doesn't matter, it can't be helped," Joshua light waved his hands as he said. If the stream goes by a mathematical sequence, then every 6 days the knock up stream would because there being 30 days in a month. With them arriving it now, the knock up stream which happened a day ago. Puts them in the last day week and when the knock up stream to happend again is 5 days into the following week.
But it cant be helped, afterall the weather and others things in the grandline are very bad and with them avoiding them with different cuts and turn. Even with Laffitte's advanced nagivational skills, it still took some time.
But Joshua would not sit and wait for that to happen, he doesn't have time to waste. Afterall, with the unpredictables and many unexpected variants of the sea, what can happen, one will never know and so with the terribleness of the sea in the one piece world, 'time really does not wait on any man.'
"I'll do it myself," then the air around them started to blow vigorously with it passing seconds. The sea which was in a calm state began to be troubled as this occur, however, the winds continue to thicken until it reached a seeable form.
It blasted out and Laffitte and Guzen almost instinctively covered their eyes with their hands. The winds rotated around the ship, then shrank until its reached its outline. The ship shook from the snake body which was at the head as the air which is around touches it.
"This,"
Guzen moved towards the side of the then looked down and what he saw made his pupil shrink.
The air which compressed to a horrible point, rotated in a wide vase like way, was now slowing lifting the 10m high ship out of the water.
"The ship is raising up,"
Laffitte and Guzen face flashed with a stunned colour, the matter of the ship being lifted up suprised them . Even so, what really made their eyes wide opened, is Joshua who was sitting down there doing this, behave like nothing is happening.
The weight of the ship is very heavy very but judging from the flat expression on Joshua, what he seemed to be doing was if it were some light weight.
"The strength of the captain has reached this point," Laffitte eyes flickered a shrap, clear light as he held down is head. Not just him, even Guzen knows that the mythical fruit what Joshua has eaten, grants him some weather abilities. But what specifically, they don't know and him being able to control the winds and lift the hefty ship and still remaining calm about it. His strength has reached an high point.
The widen vaze like rotating air, which had the ship levitated a few metres off the surface of the water. Flaten entirely in, then burst out as it turned into a slim revovling tornado, blasting the ship into the air.
50m..100m...160m...210m...
The ship which was taken off like a rocket, shoot up in the sky at high speed.
