Chapter 274: A Rhapsody of Meteorology
Above the Small Sky Island, "Weatheria"
With the help of Roy's teleportation ability, the small warship streaked through the thick cloud cover like a meteor, breaking through the updrafts and sailing into an unprecedented aerial world.
As the white mist was torn open, an island suspended in the sky slowly came into view.
The entire island looked like a kingdom floating in the clouds. It was mostly formed of clouds as pure white as cotton, with only a small amount of land revealing light green grass.
Surrounding cloud clusters floated like bubbles, occasionally shimmering with faint iridescent light.
On the island, peculiar architecture was neatly scattered:
Giant windmills rotated slowly high in the air, emitting a low whistling sound;
Transparent Cloud Dial devices hovered in the air, flashing with colorful halos, as if they could capture thunder and storms;
Scholars wearing long robes and holding meteorological instruments bustled about, looking like magicians living in the sky.
And in the upper left of the island, a rainbow spanned the sky like a crescent moon, complementing the white clouds and sunlight, resembling a sky bridge leading to the realm of gods.
Nami stood at the bow of the ship, her breath caught by the high-altitude breeze and the breathtaking scenery.
Her orange hair flew in the wind, her eyes sparkling in the sunlight. "Is this... really the legendary holy land of meteorology? It feels like entering another world..."
Roy stood behind her, his gaze steady. "Weatheria—the city in the sky that meteorologists all over the world dream of. Today, you will see true 'Weather Power' with your own eyes."
The small warship slowly descended. Its bottom buffer devices made contact with the floating cloud platform, emitting a soft "hissing" sound.
The cabin doors slowly opened. Below, a group of meteorologists wearing long robes and pointed hats had already gathered.
Their robes fluttered slightly in the high-altitude wind. Holding various barometers and wind speed detectors, they all looked up at the warship, their faces written with surprise and curiosity.
"Is that... a Marine warship?!"
"Vice Admiral Roy? He actually came to Weatheria in person!"
"Is the girl he brought a new researcher?"
The scholars discussed in low voices, the air buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
Roy led Nami slowly down from the warship, their footsteps landing on the soft cloud ground.
From the crowd, an elderly scholar slowly stepped forward.
He had a snow-white beard that reached past his waist, neatly divided into two fishtail shapes. He wore a dark blue research robe and a tall pointed hat, holding a cloud-wood staff symbolizing academic authority.
His eyes were deep and peaceful, his voice loud yet amiable: "Vice Admiral Roy, I have heard much about you."
Roy nodded in response, his tone respectful. "Dr. Haredas, sorry for the intrusion."
Haredas turned, his gaze falling on Nami, a flash of surprise and appreciation in his eyes.
"And this is the genius navigator who can sense the weather you mentioned on the Den Den Mushi?"
Nami straightened her back, took a deep breath, and spoke in a crisp, firm voice: "I am Nami! Please instruct me!"
Haredas paused for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter, his beard quivering slightly with it. "Hahaha! Good! This is exactly how young people should be!"
He turned, waving his hand to signal the scholars to clear a path. "Let's go. I will take you on a tour of Weatheria's Meteorological Research Center! Here, you will learn how to truly converse with the weather!"
Nami's heart raced, her eyes shining with excitement as she closely followed Haredas and Roy.
Following Haredas's footsteps, Nami and Roy stepped into this mysterious city floating in the sky.
Cloud Dial Farm
The vast Cloud Dial Farm looked like a silver-white ocean. Giant Cloud Dials were neatly arranged, shimmering faintly with light blue light.
Scholars were busy adjusting devices, injecting different climatic energies into the Dials. The air was filled with the faint scent of lightning.
Haredas stroked his beard and introduced, "This is Weatheria's 'Cloud Dial Repository'. We store all kinds of weather energy within them—simply releasing them can instantly create thunderstorms, hurricanes, or even bloom a rainbow in the sky."
Nami's gaze burned fervently, unable to resist gripping her Clima-Tact tightly. "This is far more powerful than my current Clima-Tact..."
Weather Control Tower
Passing through a winding floating cloud path, a tall tower piercing straight into the clouds came into view.
On the tower, giant gears rotated slowly. Complex Cloud Dial devices flashed with energy light patterns, like a heart controlling the sky.
Haredas pointed to the top of the tower, his tone filled with pride. "That is Weatheria's core control device. With just a few adjustments, it can change the weather within a ten-kilometer radius. Storms, thunder, clear skies... everything is under our control."
Nami looked up at the tower soaring into the heavens, murmuring softly, "This is practically the power of a god..."
Rainbow Workshop
On another high-altitude platform, young scholars were using special Cloud Dials to create artificial rainbows.
Beams of seven-colored light flowed through the air, converging into a floating rainbow bridge that refracted dazzling brilliance.
Nami couldn't help but reach out. Her fingertips touched the flowing colored light, and the light danced on her fingers, as if responding to her heartbeat. "So beautiful..."
Haredas smiled. "Rainbows are not just beautiful scenery; they are also natural energy refraction arrays. Through precise control, they can form beam weapons capable of piercing steel."
After the half-day tour concluded, Nami was completely immersed in the world of meteorology, her eyes shining with intense longing.
She turned abruptly, grabbing Roy's arm, her tone resolute: "Big Brother Roy! I want to stay here and learn their meteorological technology!"
Roy raised an eyebrow, looking toward Haredas.
Haredas had already confirmed Nami's talent through their conversations along the way. His snow-white fishtail beard trembled slightly, his eyes full of admiration:
"This girl's sensitivity to the weather far exceeds that of ordinary people. In just half a day, she's proficiently grasped the basic controls of the Cloud Dials... How could Weatheria not keep a genius like her?"
A gratified smile appeared on Roy's lips. "Since that's the case, stay then. I will come back to pick you up in two months."
"THAT'S WONDERFUL!!!"
Nami jumped up excitedly, immediately tugging on Haredas's sleeve. "Doctor, hurry! Let me try the 'Wind Knot' one more time!"
Haredas laughed heartily. "Hahaha! Alright, alright, but this time don't let the wind pressure blow us old fogeys away again!"
In the following days, Nami threw herself into studying with an insatiable thirst.
Cloud Dial Manipulation:
Starting with energy storage, she quickly mastered climate compression and diversion. In just three days, she broke through a curriculum that would take an ordinary scholar half a year to complete.
Airflow Weaving:
Under Haredas's guidance, she learned to use her hands to weave different airflows into "Meteorological Ropes," capable of instantly creating tornadoes and guiding thunderstorms.
Rainbow Refraction:
By using special Cloud Dials to refract sunlight and compress it into high-energy beams, she produced destructive power capable of piercing through thick steel armor.
One evening, the setting sun spilled over the testing ground, plating the sea of clouds in a layer of golden brilliance.
Nami stood alone in the center of the grounds. Her Clima-Tact was raised high. The airflow compressed by the Cloud Dials spiraled around her. Iridescent light and lightning intertwined, forming a dazzling ring of energy.
"Weather Art: THUNDERSTORM RAINBOW!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
A seven-colored thunderstorm shot into the sky, piercing straight through the clouds, dyeing the entire testing cloud layer into a brilliant vortex of interwoven lightning!
Arcs of electricity exploded in the air. The rainbow beams refracted countless bolts of lightning, like whips wielded by gods.
The spectating scholars all held their breath, dumbfounded. "Th-This is no longer just meteorology... this is a brand-new power system!"
Haredas stroked his beard, a proud light shining in his eyes. "She is creating her very own meteorological myth..."
