The man holding the bazooka did not have time to shoot, because as soon as he appeared on top of the boat Augur shot him in the middle of his forehead.
Shortly after the man appeared on the boat, another man appeared and upon seeing the corpse of his friend retreated.
Katahara: It seems that your observation haki is getting better and better Augur.
Augur: Thank you captain.
Drust: This man has wings on his back, how interesting.
Laffitte: Captain, which direction should we head to.
Augur: It looks like there is something heading north.
Katahara: Heading north then.
They all started to raise the sails and sailed through the clouds, in the direction Augur said.
2 hours later, they came to a huge gate that looked like a star and had Heaven's Gate written on it.
Suddenly they saw an old woman standing low to the side with a camera in he hand, who, seeing them, took a picture of each of them.
So this old lady is the guardian, she looks even shorter than in the anime, I guess she must know where to find the wreckage of ships, Katahara thought.
Amazon: My name is Amazon. I am the guardian. You will have to pay 1,000,000,000,000 Extol per person."
Katahara and the others just stared at he for a few seconds, until Katahara took out a bag of money from he suit, and threw it to the old woman.
After counting the money Katahara had given he, she dropped 5 tickets into the portal.
Amazon: You're a smart guy, usually people enter when they hear the amount, but if they do, they become a criminal and have to pay ten times more.
Katahara: You're a smart old lady, too. You don't tell them how much there is in berries and just let them in so they have to pay ten times more.
Amazon: Since they paid they are free to enter... Goodbye.
Katahara: I guess you must know where the wreckage of the ships coming from the Blue Sea is.
After saying that Katahara threw a wad of bills to the old woman, to which she responded with a smile.
Amazon: When you get to Angel Island, head northwest, and you will find the wreckage of the ships from the Blue Sea.
Katahara: Good old god.
Then they headed in a straight line, after sailing for 2 hours they arrived at an island.
Van Augur: To think that we would get to see the legendary island in the sky.
Katahara: This is just the beginning, the beginning of everything.
A few moments later they arrived at the shore of the island, now Laffitte Dabi will head northwest and search inside all the wreckage of the ships, when they have finished searching them all, they will communicate, the others will be with me.
After explaining the plan, Augur along with Drust got off the ship and followed Katahara.
Drust: Now where are we headed captain.
Katahara: Looks like someone is spying on us.
Van Augur: It's a boy behind the bushes on the right.
Drust: You can stop hiding boy.
After a few moments behind the bushes a boy appeared, looking a little scared.
Boy: I'm sorry I spied on you, I was just curious about the people of Mar Azul.
Drust: Calm down boy, tell us your name.
Boy: My name is Nisco, I was with my sister, but I moved away from her when I saw something in the sea.
Katahara: What is the name of this beach, boy.
Nisco: This beach is called Angel beach.
Van Augur: Captain, someone is coming.
Katahara: Don't do anything, something tells me it's the boy's sister.
After a few moments the bushes began to move and a girl appeared.
Girl: Nisco, where are you.
Nisco: Coni, look, look, they are people from the Blue Sea.
Coni: You shouldn't go away like that, come here and stay away from them.
Katahara: Calm down... we are not bad people, we just came to explore... we didn't do anything to Nisco.
Katahara told her as he approached her, and looked her in the eyes, putting her under hypnosis.
Katahara: Why don't you take us to your house and buy us something to drink Conis, I'm sure Nisco must have a lot of questions for us.
Coni: Why don't you come to our house and I invite you to have a drink, I'm sure Nisco must have many questions to ask you.
Katahara: Sure, thank you for your hospitality.
After saying that, they all followed Coni to her house, during the way Nisco asked Drust a lot of questions about the Blue Sea.
When they arrived at his house, they saw a man chatting with a woman.
The children greeted the couple who turned out to be their parents.
Katahara: Hello gentlemen, my name is Katahara, and this is my team, we met your daughter on the beach and she invited us to her house. I hope we are not a bother.
Father: where would my hospitality be, come in and take making, please.
The 3 of them sat on the couch, while Coni's mother brought them some water.
Father: What brings you here?
Katahara: Adventure, sir.
Father: I guess you all paid the entrance fee, right?
Drust: Don't worry sir, we paid everyone's entrance fee.
Father: You are a smart bunch. Normally people just walk by without paying because they don't know the currency.
Drust: Luckily, our captain knew exactly how much the fee was in our currency.
Katahara: We need some information, if you would be kind enough to provide it sir.
Father: Sure, just tell me.
Katahara: Where is Shabia tribe located.
Father: That sensitive information.
Katahara: We just want to explore the place and know everything about this place.
Father: After all you are explorers, well... The Hidden Cloud Village of the Shandians is east of here, they say that the chief of Shandia is an old man, very reasonable compared to his counterparts.
Katahara: He knows something about god.
Father: His name is Enel, and he has the power to use lightning, he uses it to destroy the people who come to his island, Upper Yard, he also uses it to destroy the people who oppose him.
Katahara: Thank you for the information... I think it's time for us to go.
Father: It was nice to meet you.
The 3 of them left the house and headed to the forest, in the direction of the Hidden Cloud village.
Katahara: From now on, you can't kill anyone, just incapacitate him, but leave him alive.
Augur and Drust just nodded as they continued walking, 4 hours later it started to get dark.
Katahara: We will rest here, tomorrow we will arrive with the Shandians.
Meanwhile with Laffitte and Dabi.
Laffitte: Looks like that old lady didn't lie.
Dabi: That's a lot of ships to go through.
In the landscape we could see dozens of destroyed ships, as well as parts of ships scattered all over the place, leaving no room for the ship to navigate that place.
Laffitte: So much for the ship.
Dabi: Start looking on the left side, I'll go to the right.
After saying that the two disappeared from the boat, using Soru.
Shortly after they started searching they both found chests full of gold, as well as millions of Berry.
Laffitte: It seems that the captain had his reasons for sending us to loot these ships, look at this chest with a devil fruit in it.
Dabi: You found one too, the two are totally different.
After putting away everything they found inside the ship, they continued through the few ships they had not yet searched, it soon began to get dark.
Laffitte: We've been searching for hours and we're still missing a few boats.
Dabi: We will be done by midnight if we continue at this pace.
So the hours passed and the two finished looting all the ships, so they went on to rest.
The next day, Laffitte steered the ship in the direction they returned, while Dabi communicated with Katahara.
"purupuru!"
"purupuru!"
Katahara: Dabi,
Dabi: Captain, we finished looting all the beached and destroyed ships, as ordered.
Katahara: You found something interesting while doing so.
Dabi: We found two devil fruits captain.
Katahara: OH!... that's a surprise, I didn't know there were more devil fruits in this place... take the ship to the east of the island, you will find Drust waiting for you and guard the ship until he comes back.
Dabi: Ok captain, we are heading right now to the rendezvous point.
