Chapter 121 What are pirates?
The night was deep. Luffy and the others went into the forest to catch South Birds, while Shojo and Ape went to gather their crew. Cricket observed the Merry Go from outside, considering how to reinforce it.
Lying in one spot, Lin Hai rested his hands under his head, contemplating what had been wrong with him lately.
After all, from the Straw Hat Crew, Lin Hai saw that they were actually a group of adventurers under the guise of Pirates, driven by Luffy's charm and the force of circumstances, each setting sail for their own goals.
In this world, there seemed to be little difference between Pirates and adventurers.
Listening to the sound of the Sea breeze and the occasional waves, where should he, Lin Hai, go from here?
Because Lin Hai found that he had changed a lot, how to be a person had troubled Lin Hai for a long time.
What is a Pirate?
In the eyes of Bellamy and his group, Pirates of the new era should abandon those pipe dreams and focus on immediate gains.
In the eyes of Luffy and his group, Pirates are free and should adventure as they please on the Sea.
In the eyes of the Navy, Pirates are all heinous and have committed countless evil deeds.
And in the eyes of ordinary people, some Pirates are good, while others are bad...
Pirates are seen differently by different people, but do Pirates really have so many concepts?
In this world, Pirates are just different people in the same time and space, whose different understandings of Pirates are shaped by what they see and hear.
And Pirate is just a designation; there's no need to stipulate that a Pirate must do what a Pirate in the secular world is supposed to do, or else they aren't worthy of being called a Pirate.
For a moment, Lin Hai recalled his original purpose for setting sail.
Did he, Lin Hai, need to change himself to cater to others?
"Hahaha..." Lin Hai, who had figured it out, suddenly burst into laughter.
"What's wrong?" Cricket, who was outside, heard Lin Hai's laughter and thought he had gone mad, so he quickly went back into the house to see what was happening.
Coming to his senses, Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Uncle, you're a big guy, can you put on some clothes? What kind of look is this, with your chest exposed? Are you showing off your muscles to me?"
Cricket was confused by Lin Hai's words, but he looked at himself and immediately became annoyed, saying, "It's the middle of the night, why are you acting crazy instead of sleeping?"
Just as he was about to leave, Cricket turned back and said, "Stinky Xiao Gui, aren't you going to help them? The forest at night is very dangerous."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Go play somewhere else, what time is it? Don't disturb my sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."
He didn't know how much time had passed when Lin Hai was startled awake by a commotion. He immediately became annoyed, saying, "What's wrong now?"
He saw before him Luffy and Chopper, their heads covered in bumps. Lin Hai kicked out, "What kind of monster dares to scare this great one!"
"Wuwuwu..." Chopper cried, "Lin Hai, Luffy and I went into the forest to catch that... what bird was it?"
Luffy continued, "It was that incredible bird, and then we were chased by a swarm of bees."
Lin Hai said thoughtfully, "So, you guys couldn't even beat those insects?"
"What are you saying, you bastard!" Both of them exploded simultaneously.
Just then, Zoro returned, holding a strange bird, and asked, "This is the bird the Uncle wanted us to catch, right?"
Cricket was instantly delighted, saying, "That's right, this is a South Bird. It's a good thing you caught it, it can be very difficult to catch."
Zoro stepped forward proudly to show off, saying, "What did you guys do in the forest? You were even chased by a few bees, how useless."
Before the others could reply, Lin Hai stepped forward and said, "You're really something, worthy of being Roronoa Zoro. But just to be safe, could you please catch one more, Zoro?"
"Pfft..." Zoro said in disbelief, "You bastard, what are you saying? Go yourself if you want to..."
"Hahaha..."
After a while, Robin asked curiously, "Looking at the surroundings, was there a battle here just now?"
Lin Hai nodded and said, "Yes, those were just some minor characters, it's fine now. Everyone, hurry and rest, we have to go up to the sky after dawn!"
......
"All salvaged, all salvaged..."
Hearing these sounds, Lin Hai said dejectedly, "I say, Shojo and Ape, did you intentionally design our ship's figurehead like this?"
Luffy said carelessly, "I think it's good, yes, very majestic!"
Zoro said seriously, "I think it should be a pigeon's head. Pigeons can fly better than roosters, right?"
"That's enough!" Lin Hai pulled Luffy over and pointed at the chicken head design on the figurehead. Sweat dripped from Lin Hai's forehead as he asked, "Look carefully, that's a rooster. With a design like this, if other Pirates see it, won't we be laughed to death?"
Ape, who was on another ship, said, "How about we sail the ship back and we'll make a new one for you?"
"Are you kidding me!" Lin Hai said angrily, "You must have done it on purpose! Are you still angry that I scared you back then? It must be!"
Luffy turned to everyone and asked in confusion, "Why is Lin Hai so against this design? I think it's very good."
Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.
As for why Lin Hai was so opposed to this design?
Does he even need to ask? It's a chicken head!
In Lin Hai's hometown, what did that represent? How could Lin Hai not object?
"You really gave me a scare." Shojo asked, "Xiao Gui, those treasures you gave..."
Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "That's what you deserve. If you dare not take it, you're insulting us, so we'll just have to beat you up!"
"Ah, your answer really made me nervous." Shojo patted his chest and replied, "In that case, we'll accept it!"
Nami, who was by Lin Hai's side, had a gloomy expression the whole time. This was because Lin Hai had used some of Nami's treasures as payment for the ship repairs, giving them to Shojo and his group.
Now hearing Shojo bring it up again, Nami was furious, saying, "What are you nervous about? If you mention that again, give me back the treasures, those are my treasures!"
After speaking, the enraged Nami immediately twisted Lin Hai's ear and said, "Lin Hai, you remember this, if we don't find the Gold Country, I'll throw you down from the sky!"
Luffy said innocently, "Nami, Lin Hai is right, we have to pay for the ship repairs..."
Before he finished speaking, Nami retorted, "That's your business, but those treasures are all mine!"
Lin Hai pulled Luffy over and quickly said, "Nami, Luffy is my Captain, if we don't find the Gold Country later, just throw him down. Find him if there's trouble, it has nothing to do with me!"
"nani?!" Luffy's eyes bulged, "Am I that great?"
Sanji said speechlessly, "Does this have anything to do with you being great?"
"So scary!" Usopp and Chopper on the side huddled together, trembling.
Chopper said in fear, "It's over, the terrifying Nami is back!"
And so, amidst the commotion, everyone embarked on the path to the Knock Up Stream, entering the journey to the sky!
.........Chapter 122 I'm Actually Very Awesome Too
After the ship sailed for a while, a silent Cricket suddenly said, "Little brothers, we will be saying goodbye soon."
However, there is one thing you must understand. The Golden Bell and Skypiea, no one has ever been able to prove their existence in the past.
Maybe some people will laugh at what I'm saying as fabricated nonsense, but what's wrong with that? This is a man's romance!
"Romance!" Luffy and Usopp said excitedly.
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Old man, you go diving into the Sea every day and get sick all over. What romance are you talking about? Your life is almost over, and you still talk about romance?"
Cricket raised an eyebrow, "You bastard, we're about to part ways, can't you say something nice?"
"Oh? Alright then." Lin Hai immediately changed his expression and started singing an awful song, "I wish you good health, a groom every night. Happy returns of the day, year after year. You..."
"That's enough!!"
Everyone near Lin Hai got goosebumps.
"Lin Hai, you're disgusting!" everyone shouted in unison.
Lin Hai retorted, "You're just jealous of my talent. Can you think of something like this, grass..."
Sanji said while punching Lin Hai, "How come I feel like after going to the forest and coming back, that annoying Lin Hai is back again?"
Zoro nodded, "This guy, I thought he had changed, but he's still so irritating."
"Hahahaha..." Luffy had noticed Lin Hai's change, but now that he was back to his old self, Luffy found the old Lin Hai more fun and burst into happy laughter.
"Hey!!" At this moment, Shojo reminded them, "Get ready, we're almost at our destination!"
Unbeknownst to them, the sky had become completely overcast, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
Shojo on another ship waved and said, "Alright brothers, from now on, you're on your own!"
"Okay!" Luffy waved, "Thank you for the escort."
Hey, hey, they said you're on your own! Did you hear clearly?
Just then, the Merry Go was suddenly sucked into a giant whirlpool.
"Wait a minute." Usopp said in horror, "I can't take it anymore, spare me, it's too terrifying! Come back, you bastard!!"
Chopper cried, "Come back, you bastard, I don't want to die!"
Looking at the large whirlpool not far away, Nami also said in horror, "Give me back my treasure, you scammers, scammers! Such a big whirlpool, we're going to die..."
The sky turned gloomy, and the giant whirlpool made a huge sound, like the end of the world.
Damn it!
A drop of cold sweat ran down Lin Hai's forehead. This scene is really scary!
However, Lin Hai still said, "Luffy, this is several times bigger than the whirlpool when we first set sail, right? Damn it, I'm going to cut..."
Zoro exclaimed, "Hey, hey, don't mess around! Nami, Nami..."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "I'm not cutting the Sea current whirlpool, a big thing is coming up!"
"A big thing?"
"Coming up?"
Soon, a fish several times larger than the Merry Go leaped out of the whirlpool!
"Space Field..."
"Space Swap!"
Lin Hai used his ability to swap the position of that fish, meaning Lin Hai put it near the center of the whirlpool, and then everyone watched as that fish was swallowed by the giant current.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the ship swallowed.
Robin analyzed very calmly, "Will our fate be the same as that big fish, instantly swallowed?"
"Ah!!" Usopp said with wide eyes, "Luffy, let's go back, shall we? It's still not too late to turn back now. With such a big whirlpool, we'll definitely be buried at the bottom of the Sea! Skypiea is simply a dream within a dream."
"A dream within a dream? That's true." Luffy said very calmly.
Nami replied crying, "Yes, Luffy, I also think we're pushing ourselves too hard this time."
Luffy said to himself, "Missing out on such a great adventure to the island of a dream within a dream would be a lifelong regret."
After speaking, Luffy turned his head, his eyes sparkling, and looked at everyone.
Seeing such an excited Luffy, Lin Hai was truly speechless. This guy doesn't seem to be afraid at all!
At this moment, Zoro on the side said, "I say, this isn't the time to be scared, is it? Look, the ship is about to be swallowed by the whirlpool!"
Lin Hai quickly asked, "Nami, what should we do?"
Before he finished speaking, the ship had already fallen into the whirlpool. Just as Lin Hai was about to use his ability, the scene before him suddenly became unusually calm.
"The whirlpool disappeared? Why?" Sanji was the first to ask.
Luffy also asked, "What happened?"
Usopp: "Such a big whirlpool eye actually disappeared? What's going on?"
"Nami!" According to the information transmitted by Observation Haki, the Sea water below the surface is very unstable!
"That's not right!" Nami said with sudden realization, "The underwater explosion has started, so the whirlpool eye has temporarily disappeared!"
"No, no way!" Usopp looked at the bottom of the ship in horror.
Lin Hai quickly said, "Just as you thought, quickly grab onto the ship's body or hide in the cabin, don't get thrown out!"
"Whoa!" everyone exclaimed.
"Hmm?" Lin Hai asked in confusion, "Nami, what are you doing? If you're going to die, are you going to die in my arms?"
Nami said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? You have to protect me, you still owe me 1.2 million Conis."
Sanji immediately said with tears streaming down his face, "Nami, why don't you hide in my embrace! I can also owe you 1.2 million Conis, no, 100 million, a billion..."
Zoro rolled his eyes and said, "Stop rambling, the ship is about to fly up!"
Just then, the Merry Go was directly propelled upwards at the center of the upward Sea current...
An upward Sea current instantly jetted towards the sky, carrying the Merry Go with it. The Merry Go rose vertically along the water column. For a moment, everyone couldn't adapt to this vertical sense of direction and could only hold tightly onto the ship's mast.
"Whoa, this is fun."
"My goodness, what is this principle!"
"Great, we'll definitely reach the sky this way."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Don't celebrate too early, quickly pull down the sails!"
"Why?"
Soon everyone realized something was wrong. The ship was starting to float away from the water column! If they didn't pull down the sails and use the upward wind from the upward Sea current, the entire ship would be thrown out!
Usopp exclaimed, "What do we do? All we can do now is hold on tight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, objects kept falling from above the water current, including Sea Kings, and dismantled ships...
"Ah!!" Chopper exclaimed, "Lots of things are falling from above, those are all victims of the upward Sea current!"
"It's over, it's over." Usopp cried, "We're really finished this time. Falling into the Sea from such a high place, we're absolutely going to die."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Is it that scary? I already said my Space ability can save your lives, provided you don't get thrown out, hahaha. Nami, how to use the upward wind, I can only let you direct, I don't understand it!"
Upward wind?
With a little prompting, Nami quickly understood. She immediately said, "Set sail immediately, move quickly!"
Seeing that everyone was still confused, Nami explained, "This is the Sea, not an ordinary water column, it's a towering Sea current.
Moreover, the wind blowing up from below is the upward airflow generated by the underwater geothermal heat and steam explosion.
Since the object is wind and Sea, I have a way to navigate. Don't forget, who is the navigator of this ship?"
Looking at Nami's confident appearance, everyone felt a sense of reassurance and pride!
"It's Miss Nami!!" Sanji shouted loudly with hearts in his eyes.
Lin Hai said dejectedly, "Nami, stop being so smug, okay? I was the one who first told everyone to lower the sails, I was the one who told you these principles, hey, hey, hey, why aren't you paying attention to me? I'm actually really awesome too!!!"
Lin Hai's words were ignored by everyone.
"Brothers, quickly do as Nami says!"
"Okay, now the starboard side is receiving wind, immediately turn the rudder to the left, try to make the hull match the Sea current..."
"Aye, aye!"
Soon, the ship began to float on the outer edge of the water column, straight up into the sky!!
.........Chapter 123 Eat My Kick
A towering water column shot straight up above the clouds, and the Merry Go, using the upward wind force, floated on the water column at a ninety-degree angle, as if boarding a levitating train...
Facing such a natural wonder, it was truly hair-raising!
"Whoa, everyone, we're really going up to the sky! Look at the scenery beside us, it's too exaggerated!!" Lin Hai was the first to shout excitedly.
"Yeah, it's amazing! Our ship is flying to the sky! What's up there?" Luffy also said excitedly.
And Usopp, reminded by Lin Hai, looked to the side, and immediately his legs trembled as he said, "Wow, it's so high! Ah, I have a fear of heights! Help, Zoro..."
"Bastard, you're choking me!!"
"Charge towards the cumulus clouds..."
After a long while, their vision suddenly became blurry. It seemed they were about to pass through the clouds, and everyone felt a moment of difficulty breathing!
After another moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared before their eyes. The Merry Go broke through the clouds and flew into the high sky!
"Space Field..."
After the ship stabilized on the sea of clouds, everyone was seen lying on the deck, gasping for air. It turned out that the oxygen content in the air at high altitude was thinner than on land, making it difficult for everyone to adapt temporarily.
"This feels terrible!" Zoro leaned against the railing and asked, unsure of the situation, "What happened? Is everyone still here?"
Lin Hai replied, "Everyone is here, we just can't adapt to the air here for a moment..."
Before he finished speaking, Luffy said excitedly, "Hurry and look outside the ship..."
"Where is this?" Sanji asked.
"It's all white..."
Chopper exclaimed, "Is it clouds?"
Seeing everyone's state change from just now, they all became energetic. Lin Hai immediately exclaimed, "What kind of monsters are you! You're fine so quickly?"
Sanji rolled his eyes and said, "You're the monster, okay?"
"Are we on the clouds?" Nami asked, looking at the sea of clouds, "Why aren't we falling?"
"Why not?" Luffy explained well, "You can sit on clouds."
Hey, hey, Lin Hai's face darkened on the side. In later generations, people couldn't survive at such high altitudes, and besides, it was much more terrifying inside the cloud layers!
"Too many clouds, aren't there?" Usopp exclaimed, "What is this?"
Nami explained, "This should be the so-called Sky Sea!"
"But!" Nami pointed to the Log Pose in her hand and asked, "Look, the Log Pose is still pointing upwards!"
Robin, sitting by the railing, replied, "It seems like this is just the middle of the cumulus clouds."
Chopper asked, "So, we still have to go up? But how do we go up?"
Robin shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."
"Bastard!" Sanji bristled, "Lin Hai, you bastard, quickly let go of your hand! Who allowed you to put your arm around Robin's waist?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Wasn't I afraid Robin would fall down?"
"Roar!!!" Sanji glared angrily at Lin Hai, but Lin Hai couldn't be bothered with him!
"Is it the Sea?" Usopp looked at the sea of clouds, immediately took off his clothes, revealing his skinny figure, and laughed with his muscles showing, "Hahaha, first step, Captain Usopp is going for a swim."
"Beep beep..." Luffy, on the side, whistled and said, "Awesome..."
Chopper also started cheering, while Lin Hai on the side violently pulled Usopp down from the railing.
"Bastard Lin Hai, what do you want to do? Don't stop me from swimming!"
"Exactly, why are you stopping Usopp?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "When the ship came up just now, didn't you notice we came up through gaseous clouds? Do you think there will be a seabed here?"
Sanji exclaimed, "If we swim down, will we fall from the clouds?"
Lin Hai nodded and said, "Usopp, you can verify it. When the time comes, I'll definitely burn more paper money for you!"
As soon as Usopp thought of falling from the clouds, he immediately said in terror, "Ah ah, the Sky Sea is too scary, I want to go home..."
"Hmm?" Zoro asked doubtfully, "Lin Hai, what are you doing?"
They saw Lin Hai practicing punches in the air. Hearing Zoro's question, Lin Hai explained, "We need to adapt to the environment here first, in case of any sudden situations..."
"Sudden situations?"
Luffy asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "A guy with ill intentions is coming this way!"
"Where? Where is he?" Chopper quickly looked around, "Lin Hai, you're not lying to us, are you? There's no one here!"
Zoro got his swords ready and stepped forward, saying, "We just arrived, and someone is already causing trouble?"
Luffy said sourly, "When will I learn Observation Haki?"
Lin Hai chuckled wickedly, "That's easy. Just cover your eyes, and then I'll hit you with Armament Haki. When you can dodge each one, you'll learn it. It's a lot of fun, Luffy, want to try?"
Everyone's face darkened. This guy...
But soon, Lin Hai's words came true. A guy wearing a mask, holding a cannon in one hand and a shield in the other, stepping on the unique "shell shoes" of Skypiea, attacked the Merry Go without a word.
"Stop!" Sanji was the first to say, "What do you want to do?"
The person simply replied, "Exclusion."
"He's up to no good!" Sanji said, "Lin Hai, leave this guy to me. Miss Nami, Robin, watch my cool moves..."
Zoro looked at that person with a dark face and said softly, "He's got some nerve."
"What are you talking about?" Luffy asked.
In an instant, before Sanji finished speaking, he was kicked away by that person. Zoro had just drawn his sword and was also kicked away by that person, and Luffy suffered the same fate.
"What's going on?" Nami asked doubtfully, "You three actually can't beat one person?"
"Hey hey, aren't you guys too weak?" Lin Hai said with a dark face, "They probably can't adapt to the environment here yet."
And that person had already jumped into the air, aiming the cannon at the Merry Go.
Chopper exclaimed, "Skypiea is so scary, Skypiea is so scary!"
"Whoosh..." Lin Hai, who was standing in place, instantly disappeared.
Before the person who attacked the Merry Go could react, Lin Hai had already appeared above him.
"Take this kick!" Lin Hai didn't want to question this guy anymore and directly kicked him into the sea of clouds, just like he did with Van Augur back then...
.........Chapter 124 Just let it go?
As soon as Lin Hai returned to the Merry Go, Chopper rushed up, pleading, "Skypiea is too scary, Lin Hai, you have to protect me, okay? Huh? What's wrong?"
Lin Hai said, "Someone else is here."
"nani?!!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
Usopp exclaimed, "What is going on here? Is he also coming to attack us?"
Lin Hai laughed, "Don't worry, if one comes, I'll beat one!"
"Whoa, whoa," Usopp quickly warned, "Don't mess around like you did before!"
Soon, they saw a white-bearded old man wearing Knight armor, riding an eagle-like creature, landing on the railing of the Merry Go.
Nami was the first to ask, "Who are you? Are you also here to attack us?"
The Knight replied, "I am the Sky Knight. That young man, your skills are quite good."
"Sky Knight?" Lin Hai sized him up, gave him a Knight's salute, and then said, "My name is Lin Hai, these are all my crew, we are from the Sea below. What do you call yourself?"
The Sky Knight glanced at everyone on the ship and replied, "My name is Sky Knight, Gan Fall, and next to me is my partner Pierre. I am not with that person."
As soon as she heard he wasn't here to cause trouble, Nami immediately relaxed. But seeing Luffy and the other two gasping for air, she said speechlessly, "What in the world are you guys doing? You're completely useless, the three of you together and you were still beaten to a pulp!"
Sanji said gloomily, "Nami is right, it's really embarrassing!"
Luffy also replied, "I just feel weird, I can't muster any energy."
Robin explained, "Didn't Lin Hai just say? The air here is too thin."
Zoro nodded, "Yeah, that must be the reason."
At this moment, Gan Fall walked to the second deck of the Merry Go and said, "You are Blue Sea people, right?"
"Blue Sea people?" Nami asked, "What does that mean?"
Gan Fall explained, "Blue Sea people is our general term here for people who live below the clouds. Getting back to the point, are you from the Blue Sea?"
Lin Hai, who was standing by, darkened his expression. Hadn't he just said that? And he's asking again!
At this moment, Luffy, who was lying on the deck, replied, "Yeah."
"That's right," the Sky Knight said, "This place is the White Sea, seven thousand meters above the Blue Sea. The next layer of White Sea above that is even higher, reaching ten thousand meters. Naturally, ordinary Blue Sea people will be unable to move when they get here."
"Great, I'm finally getting a little used to it." Luffy sat up.
Zoro also sat up and replied, "Indeed, compared to just now, it's definitely much easier."
"To be honest," the Sky Knight explained, "I am a professional mercenary. This is the dangerous White Sea. People who are unaware of the conditions in the sky will either be targeted by the kind of people who just attacked you, or become food for Sky Fish. So, for a whistle and five million Iq, I will come and rescue you."
A whistle and five million Iq?
Luffy asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about, old man?"
The Sky Knight said speechlessly, "My price is already very cheap, don't haggle with me, I won't lower it by a single Iq! Don't make it hard for me, I have to live too!"
Lin Hai said helplessly, "Old man, can you explain the conversion rate between Iq and Belly? If we can afford it, we accept your offer!"
The Sky Knight asked doubtfully, "Didn't you come rushing down from the top of the High-Speed Sky Road? You should have passed at least one or two islands along the way, right?"
Luffy asked doubtfully again, "Old man, what language are you speaking?"
"Wait a minute!" Nami asked, "Listening to what you're saying, it seems there are other ways to get to this Sky Sea?"
Seeing the Sky Knight nod, Nami cried out, "I knew there were other ways!!"
After saying that, Nami grabbed Luffy by the collar and said angrily, "We almost fell to our deaths, it's all because of you! Otherwise, we could have gathered information and taken a safe route here, it's all your fault, you jerk..."
At this moment, the Sky Knight threw a whistle to Lin Hai, and then explained, "What I mean by 'a whistle' is blowing this whistle. No matter when or where, I will fly down from the sky to save you.
Originally, one dispatch costs five million Iq, the common currency of the sky. This time, consider it a welcome gift, I'll give you one whistle for free."
After speaking, Gan Fall got onto his partner and flew away...
Lin Hai, who had just reacted, immediately exclaimed, "Hey, you still haven't answered me, the exchange rate between Iq and Belly..."
Unfortunately, Gan Fall had already flown far away.
Luffy patted his clothes, walked over to Lin Hai, and said, "Didn't he just say he would come if we blew the whistle?"
Saying that, Luffy took the whistle from Lin Hai's hand, ready to blow it.
Usopp, Chopper, and Lin Hai quickly stopped him. Lin Hai was the first to say, "Can you not just waste this opportunity? This has to be saved for Nami, in case she encounters danger..."
Usopp said speechlessly, "Why can't it be saved for me? I need protection too!"
Lin Hai retorted, "Nami is a beauty, are you a beauty? Go play somewhere else."
Sanji chimed in, "Lin Hai is right, Nami, quickly put that whistle away."
Lin Hai laughed, "Sanji, I've known you for so long, and you finally said something human."
"What are you saying, you jerk? Do you believe I'll kick you to death!" Sanji immediately retorted.
Zoro said speechlessly, "Stop arguing, all of you. By the way, that Sky Knight didn't seem to say anything useful, what should we do now?"
Robin said, "From what he said, there's another White Sea above, that should be Skypiea."
Chopper pointed to the cloud in the distance that looked like a waterfall and asked, "Is the entrance to the top over there?"
Luffy replied, "Wouldn't we know if we just sailed the ship over?"
At this moment, Lin Hai walked over to Nami and asked, "Nami, how much Belly do we still have?"
"Belly?" Nami immediately exclaimed, "What do you want to do! Lin Hai, you listen up, not only do you owe me 1.2 million Belly, but also, if there's no Gold Country here, you're finished!"
"Stupid woman!" Lin Hai retorted, "Did you Fall into a pile of money? Is life more important or Belly?"
Nami replied as a matter of course, "Of course it's Belly!"
"Alright, pretend I didn't say anything!" Lin Hai spread his hands, speechless.
Soon, everyone found the entrance.
"nani?!!"
"1 billion Iq? Eighty billion for eight people! No matter how you calculate it, just 1 billion Belly must be very expensive, right?"
"Is it this much money? Or is it the rule here?"
"Excuse me, old woman, may I ask, how much Belly can one Iq be exchanged for?"
Usopp couldn't help but mutter, "Does it usually cost this much money to enter? This old woman isn't trying to trick us, is she?"
Nami quickly stopped him and asked, "Excuse me, regarding this entrance fee, just hypothetically, what if we don't have any money?"
The old woman in charge of payment replied, "You can still go in, and if you don't go in, that's fine too."
???
Everyone was confused, is this old woman senile?
But Lin Hai was too lazy to ask. If he remembered correctly, the ruler of this Skypiea, Enel, was a twisted individual, and his goal was to destroy Skypiea, right?
As an excellent young man of the twenty-first century, influenced by fine traditions, would he just stand by and do nothing when encountering such a thing?
If that's the case, do we still need to care about this in front of us? We'll be enemies in the end anyway, so let's just eat and drink while we can...
At this moment, the old woman at the entrance explained, "Because I am not a gate guard or a soldier, I just wanted to ask what you intended to do."
Luffy smiled, "Then let's go, we're going to Skypiea."
Usopp said, "Old woman, we don't have any money, please let us in!"
The old woman replied, "Okay, are all eight of you going in?"
"Yes!"
Soon, a famous product of the White Sea, the Express Shrimp, appeared on the cloud path. It used its pincers to clamp onto both sides of the Merry Go, guiding the Merry Go into the special passage leading to Skypiea...
.........Chapter 125 Car Overturning Scene
Immediately after the Straw Hat left, the old woman directly reported. It turned out she was the gate of Heaven's gate surveillance officer - Amazon. Amazon reported to the Almighty God and all the God's Enforcers that eight illegal intruders had invaded God's Country and requested that they be punished...
The Straw Hat were in trouble. At this time, except for Lin Hai, they didn't understand that they had been targeted!
After a spiral cloud passage, the Merry Go finally landed on the real Sky Island.
What came into view was a vast expanse of white, and in front of them were dreamlike buildings. Some castles were built on the clouds, and beside the layers of buildings were several towering giant vines, adding a touch of green to the vast white sea of clouds, enhancing the beauty.
Such a scene, let alone Luffy and the others, even Lin Hai, facing such an incredible place, was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment!
"It's an island, it's Sky Island!" Luffy was the first to exclaim.
"Wow, wow wow wow..." Lin Hai asked, "Everyone, such a spectacle, I've never seen it in paintings before!!"
"Hahaha, it's really beautiful!" Usopp looked at Lin Hai.
Lin Hai, Usopp, and Luffy exchanged glances, and immediately the three of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and said, "Sky Island, Sky Island..."
Chopper jumped up and joined Lin Hai and the others' team, "Sky Island, Sky Island..."
Soon, as soon as the Merry Go docked, Luffy immediately couldn't help himself, "Where is this place? It must be very interesting to explore."
Just as Luffy was speaking, Lin Hai was the first to jump up, and then rolled around on the Cocoyasi Village, "Oh, the blue sky, the white clouds, Nami and Robin, you are all mine, mine!!"
Sanji was furious, "Bastard, what are you talking about!"
On the ship, Nami and Robin exchanged glances, their faces flushed, and Nami immediately said angrily, "Who are yours!!"
"Hehehe..." Robin chuckled, "Nami, let's go down and play together?"
At this time, Chopper jumped up and imitated Lin Hai rolling on the beach.
Lin Hai asked, "Chopper, how is it? Is it very interesting?"
"Yeah!" Chopper said in surprise, "Sky Island is truly an incredible place..."
"Hey Lin Hai." Luffy, who was already hanging on a tree with his feet, picked a fruit similar to a large pumpkin. Seeing that he couldn't bite it, he threw the fruit at Lin Hai's face and said, "Here's a fruit for you, catch."
Lin Hai was in a state of intoxication. Just as he heard the words, he felt his head being hit by something hard!
Lin Hai was immediately furious, "Bastard, do you want to kill me? Get down here!"
Luffy stuck out his tongue and replied, "You come up."
Lin Hai: "You come down, see if I don't beat you up."
Luffy: "Baka, you come up, see if I don't beat you into the sky."
Lin Hai: "You're getting bold, you come down."
Luffy: "No, you come up."
Zoro, who walked over, said speechlessly, "I say, what are you two doing?"
Saying that, Zoro held up a fox in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
He saw that the fox was completely white and very cute. It was the first time Lin Hai had seen a fox, so Lin Hai quickly took the fox from Zoro's hand.
"Whoosh whoosh..." The fox narrowed its eyes and called out a few times at Lin Hai.
At this moment, a sound of a zither rang out...
He saw a graceful figure standing elegantly on the clouds not far from the beach.
Zoro said, "Look, who is that over there?"
Usopp hid in a place and asked, "Could it be those masked monsters again?"
Chopper hugged Lin Hai's leg and quickly said, "Whistle, where's the whistle? Quickly call that old man to save us!"
"Wait." Sanji said, "No, is that an angel?"
Angel?
Lin Hai's face darkened. Although the woman had wings on her back, what kind of angel were those small wings? Besides, angels should be beautiful women like Tsuru, Kaysa, Yan, etc., right?
At this moment, the woman looked at the fox in Lin Hai's hand and smiled, "Sisi, come here."
"Whoosh." The fox in Lin Hai's hand called out, then jumped up and ran towards the woman.
The woman walked closer and asked, "Are you from the Blue Sea?"
"Yes." Luffy replied, "We flew up from below. Do you live in this place?"
The woman replied, "Yes, I am a resident here. Welcome to the Angel Beach of God's Country. Hmm? Do you want to drink that?"
"Hmm?" Luffy handed the green fruit similar to a large pumpkin in his hand to the woman, and the woman cut open the top of the fruit with a small knife and explained, "The shell of this coconut is as hard as iron. No matter how you bite it, you can't break it. Hmm, okay, please drink."
"It's so good to drink!" Luffy immediately exclaimed.
"Hehe." The woman introduced, "My name is Konis, and the one in my arms is the cloud fox here, named Sisi. If you have any questions, I will try my best to assist you."
Wow!
Lin Hai immediately exclaimed, "Nami, look at her, so gentle, so polite, so good at talking, and then look at you..."
"Duang..."
"Ah." At this time, Sanji stepped forward and said to the woman, "Please listen to me, your eyes have healed the fire damage in my heart..."
"Duang..."
Nami stepped forward and smiled, "That's great, we just have a lot of questions. In short, this place is simply too incredible for us."
"Okay." Konis smiled, "Feel free to ask anything you want to know."
"Hey." Zoro said, "It seems like someone is coming!"
Konis replied, "That's my father."
On the cloud sea opposite, a person riding a viper, a tool unique to Sky Island, was approaching the Cocoyasi Village. He waved and shouted, "Konis, Sisi, I'm back."
Konis waved, "Father, welcome back..."
Seeing Konis's father riding that viper, Luffy immediately exclaimed, "That thing is so cool, I really want to ride on it!"
Konis explained, "That's Sky Island's mode of transportation - the viper, but you can't control that thing without more than ten years of training."
"Hey hey." Lin Hai exclaimed, "Uncle, you, stop quickly!!"
"Ah!!" Konis's father immediately crashed into a big tree!
"Are you hurt?" Konis's father asked as he got up.
Zoro said speechlessly, "Take care of yourself first!"
"Hahaha." Lin Hai walked over and asked, "Uncle, you're so funny, are you okay?"
"Ah?" Konis's father waved his hand, "I'm fine."
Lin Hai glanced at the viper, which was a bit like a motorcycle from later generations. Cough, he, Lin Hai, also wanted to ride it and feel the feeling of the wind!
So, Lin Hai pointed at the viper and asked, "Uncle, can I ride this thing?"
Konis's father replied, "You can, but this thing is difficult to control, so don't force it."
Lin Hai smiled, "Don't worry!"
Seeing Lin Hai get the viper ready, everyone asked, "You can ride this?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "Of course."
Luffy's eyes immediately lit up, "I want to ride too."
Lin Hai took out his mirror, combed his hair into a slicked-back style, and also helped Luffy get a slicked-back hairstyle.
Luffy asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Lin Hai threw a pair of sunglasses to Luffy and said, "Put them on, brother will take you to experience the feeling of the wind."
"Siss, Sisugoi..."
Chopper and Usopp's eyes lit up, "Also, take us with you!"
Chopper's eyes lit up, "The feeling of the wind? That's great!"
Lin Hai nodded, "I'll take Luffy for a spin first, and then I'll take you. Luffy, hold on tight."
"Okay!" Luffy said excitedly, "I'm ready! Charge..."
"Why aren't you taking us with you!"
"Don't you look at the seats, they can only accommodate two people at most!"
Soon, Lin Hai and Luffy, dressed handsomely, stood inside the viper and rushed into the cloud sea with a whoosh.
Luffy only felt a fast wind brush past his cheek, and then Luffy exclaimed, "Danger!!"
The people on the Cocoyasi Village watched the two of them ride the viper into the cloud sea, and then, less than two seconds after looking cool, Lin Hai and Luffy fell directly into the cloud sea.
Zoro asked somewhat confused, "What are they doing?"
Chopper and Usopp hugged each other and exclaimed at the same time, "Sky Island is too scary!!"
Konis, who had been confused until now, suddenly exclaimed, "Quickly save them!!"
Sanji comforted, "Don't worry, with that guy around, they'll be fine..."
.........Chapter 126 Lin Hai Big Fool
At Konis's house.
After some introductions, it turned out that Konis's father was named Pagaya, a mechanic. The Straw Hat Crew was invited by Pagaya to have a meal at his house.
At this moment, Lin Hai sat aside feeling depressed, and Nami also said dejectedly, "Lin Hai, I haven't had enough fun with the viper yet, why did you suddenly stop me from riding it?"
Chopper replied, "He's jealous that you ride so well!"
Lin Hai said in a low voice, "What did you say!!"
"Ah!" Chopper hid beside Usopp and exclaimed, "Lin Hai is so scary, huh?"
"Lin Hai is a big idiot." Luffy said to a tone dial, a specialty of Skypiea, "Konis, you said this is for recording? But there's no sound?"
Usopp laughed, "Idiot, this is how you use it."
Saying that, Usopp pressed the top of the tone dial with one hand, pushing down the switch.
tone dial: "Lin Hai is a big idiot."
"nani!!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise, "Even the tone dial looks down on Lin Hai?"
Lin Hai, sitting on the sofa, raised an eyebrow. This scoundrel must be taking revenge for the earlier rollover!
Damn, he, Lin Hai, wasn't going to respond. He was absolutely not going to mention that matter again, then everyone would forget it, yes, that's right!
Who knew, the tone dial spoke again, "Lin Hai is a big idiot..."
Again and again, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were having a blast playing with it. It wasn't over yet, Luffy excitedly took the tone dial and ran to Lin Hai, laughing, "Lin Hai, come play with us, look how fun this tone dial is, it says you're a big idiot."
The others on the side covered their mouths and chuckled.
This is outrageous, Lin Hai's face turned red, and he angrily said, "You stinky Straw Hat, are you finished or not? I already said it was an accident, do you believe I'll throw you out!"
"Lin Hai is a big idiot." The tone dial's voice played Luffy's earlier sentence as usual, as if mocking Lin Hai.
Lin Hai angrily said, "Hurry up and turn it off for me, are you going to keep going?"
"Everyone." At this moment, Konis said, "The meal is ready, please come over and eat together."
This aroma was definitely carefully cooked seafood. Lin Hai instantly forgot about the earlier matter. After kicking Luffy flying, Lin Hai stepped forward and greeted, "Thank you for the hospitality, you are truly good people!"
Konis smiled, "You're welcome, hehe..."
After speaking, Konis covered her mouth and chuckled softly, and Lin Hai's face turned red again!
Meanwhile, Chopper, seeing Luffy kicked out the door, immediately ran out and exclaimed, "Luffy, are you okay..."
A little while later, everyone gathered at the dining table. They saw various kinds of food in the bowls, not only fragrant but also the color of the cooked lobsters was especially appetizing just by looking at it.
Sanji introduced, "Alright everyone, this is a full meal with Skypiea specialties added, a heavenly delicacy of fruits and seafood."
"Oh, this is great!"
"Sugoi."
At this moment, Nami sat beside Lin Hai and said with a smile, "Skypiea is really amazing, the soft clouds, and things like tone dial, Wind Dial, and Burn Dial, I've never seen them before, it's so magical."
Robin nodded and said, "I don't know what principles these are based on..."
Luffy grabbed a lobster, took a big bite, and then replied unclearly, "Just, just incredible clouds and Dials."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "I say Luffy, these things are made by people with great care, you should taste them, not just swallow them!"
"But, but it's too delicious." Luffy swallowed the remaining lobster in one gulp.
Alright, talking was useless.
Konis poured everyone a glass of red wine and then smiled, "There's still a lot in the kitchen, everyone, please don't be shy."
Looking at the surrounding buildings, to be honest, they were clean, tidy, and felt very beautiful, and this father and daughter were truly warm and hospitable, with such good hearts.
Lin Hai had a vague plan in his heart, he absolutely could not let Enel destroy this Skypiea!
"Mmm, super delicious!"
"This shrimp is so delicious I don't know how to describe it, it's too good!"
After a while, Pagaya said, "Everyone, there's something I need to explain."
"Hmm? What is it?"
Pagaya and Konis exchanged glances, and Konis explained, "In God's Country, there is a place that must never be entered, no matter when. That place is right next to our island. If you ride a viper, you can get there in no time."
Usopp asked in confusion, "You can't even step one foot in? What kind of place is that?"
Pagaya replied, "That is the Holy Land!"
"Holy Land?" Robin asked in confusion.
"Yes!" Konis explained, "People call it the land where God resides, God's Island--Apaya Island."
"God's Island?" Lin Hai said with a chuckle, "That's really speechless!"
Luffy exclaimed, "Are there really Gods? Living in that place that absolutely cannot be entered!"
Konis nodded, "Yes!"
Chopper sweated a drop and asked, "Is the God you're talking about the 'God' that people talk about? And does God live on Skypiea?"
"Yes." Konis nodded, "Our God's Country is ruled by the almighty God--Enel!"
"Almighty God?" Sanji asked in confusion.
Konis explained, "Enel knows everything, he controls everything in the world, everything we do is within his sight!"
"Space Field..."
"Hmm? What's wrong, Lin Hai?" Luffy turned his head to look at Lin Hai and asked.
Lin Hai stood up and explained, "That Enel he's talking about is just a Devil Fruit user with a Logia-type Devil Fruit. What God? He's really arrogant."
Konis and Pagaya got up in a panic, just about to say something, Lin Hai raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, even if he uses Observation Haki now, he can't sense us."
Nami asked curiously, "Lin Hai, is that Enel you're talking about a Logia-type Devil Fruit user?"
Usopp exclaimed, "Is he like that Smoke Man, and that Crocodile?"
Lin Hai laughed, "Not on the same level, that Enel is a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
"Rumble-Rumble Fruit!!" Everyone exclaimed.
"That's right." Lin Hai explained, "That means, not only can that guy release lightning, but people without Haki can't hit him."
"nani!"
"Releasing lightning? Then isn't he invincible?"
"Are there such terrifying Devil Fruits in the world?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Listen to me first, okay? After that guy ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he used the magnetic field on Skypiea so that his Observation Haki could cover the entire island. To say he's almighty? That's a bit exaggerated!"
Sanji asked curiously, "So you activated your ability to prevent being heard by him?"
Zoro also asked, "Can your Space Field do even this?"
Lin Hai replied, "Within my Space Field, the magnetic field has changed, so he cannot use Observation Haki to hear our voices!"
"Sugoi!" Chopper exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Usopp on the side asked curiously, "Lin Hai, this is your first time here, right? How do you know so much about that Enel?"
Damn!
Lin Hai turned back and fabricated, "I also have Observation Haki, okay? Of course I understand. By the way, I have to remind you, from the moment we entered the gate of Skypiea, we have been watched..."
.........Chapter 127: Oh boy, mom is here!
"We're being watched?" everyone exclaimed simultaneously.
Nami immediately grabbed Luffy's collar and roared furiously, "It's all your fault, you idiot, wanting to come to Skypiea! Now we're being targeted by someone so terrifying! Ah, no, we need to leave this place quickly."
Usopp nodded, "Nami's right, Luffy, let's get out of here quickly."
"nani?" Luffy completely ignored the so-called God and said dismissively, "I thought there was a real God, turns out it's just a Devil Fruit user."
Everyone stared blankly at Luffy. What was going on with this guy's thought process?
"Hahaha..." Lin Hai chuckled, "Don't worry, you won't die yet. If I run into Enel, I'll finish him with one strike. What's more, Luffy is a Rubber Fruit user, he doesn't conduct electricity!"
Robin exclaimed, "You mean lightning doesn't affect Luffy much?"
Lin Hai nodded, "In this world, Luffy is practically Enel's natural counter."
"Hehehe..." Luffy smugly showed off a triumphant expression to everyone.
Nami, Usopp, and Chopper started punching and kicking Luffy...
"What are you so smug about, you idiot?"
"Exactly! You're fine, but if we get hit by lightning, won't we be dead?"
"It's all your fault, you idiot, insisting on coming to Skypiea! Skypiea is too terrifying..."
At this moment, Zoro on the side muttered, "A Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, this is a bit troublesome."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Don't worry, I already said you won't die. Besides, aren't we here for an adventure? There's no need to care so much about that Enel, right? And if we run away as soon as we hear about a scary opponent, we might as well go home and hide under the covers to sleep..."
"What do you mean won't die, you idiot..."
Suddenly, Nami seemed to know martial arts! She struck a snake fist pose and started punching the already stunned Lin Hai, saying, "You idiot, you were the one who first said Skypiea exists, right? And what about Gold Country? Where's the gold? I haven't seen a single piece of treasure yet..."
Hey, hey, hey, so you still care about treasure after all!
"Everyone!" Konis stepped forward worriedly, "Although I don't quite understand what you're talking about, that Enel is really powerful, you guys..."
"Hehehe..." Luffy sat up and laughed, "What are you afraid of? That guy called God, if he dares to get in our way, I'll punch him away!"
"Hehehe..." Zoro's eyebrow twitched, "They said he's a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, how are you going to punch him?"
"Of course, I'll just punch him directly." Luffy didn't care at all, his eyes shining as he said, "Everyone, Konis just said there's an island nearby that absolutely cannot be entered..."
Usopp and Chopper exclaimed, "Idiot, what are you trying to do?"
"No, Luffy, we're not going! Skypiea is too terrifying..."
"Hehehehe." Luffy chuckled foolishly, "An island that absolutely cannot be entered, hehehe..."
Lin Hai sat next to Luffy and raised an eyebrow, "Maybe there are beautiful women, swords, gold, precious ruins, and lots of delicious food there..."
Sanji: "Beautiful women?"
Zoro: "Swords?"
Nami: "Gold?"
Robin: "Precious ruins?"
Luffy looked at Lin Hai, immediately started drooling, and then asked, "Delicious food?"
"Alright, let's go explore!" everyone exclaimed simultaneously.
Usopp's face was covered in black lines, "Hey, hey, that's enough! They said that place absolutely cannot be entered..."
Nami put her hands on her hips, "What are you afraid of? If that Enel comes looking for trouble, we'll leave him to Lin Hai and Luffy."
"Oh, leave him to us." Lin Hai and Luffy replied simultaneously.
They saw Lin Hai, Luffy, and Sanji with their arms around each other's shoulders, saying, "God's Island, God's Island..."
Usopp and Chopper exchanged a look and immediately burst into tears!!
......
To be honest, the current Straw Hat Pirates were considered a low-tier Pirate crew in the New World. If they didn't undergo some tempering now, how could they proceed in the future?
Lin Hai's reason for letting everyone go there was precisely this intention. If they worried about this and that, why did they even set out to Sea in the first place? They might as well find a cave to hide in; that would be the safest.
Soon, at the cloud coast, Lin Hai instructed, "Everyone, a few of those four God's Enforcers seem to know Observation Haki. Don't die!"
"Whoa, whoa, Lin Hai, you have to protect me later!" Chopper pitifully hugged one of Lin Hai's legs and pleaded.
Lin Hai smiled, "Don't worry, Chopper, I won't let you die! Everyone, someone's here to cause trouble."
"Hmm?" Luffy looked around and asked, "Where are they? Where are they?"
A moment later, the Straw Hat Crew's faces were covered in black lines.
Because the group of people dressed as guards were all crawling forward on the ground.
Hey, hey, everyone can see them, okay? Do you think we're blind?
Usopp said speechlessly, "What are they doing?"
Sanji's face was covered in black lines, "These are the people who came to cause us trouble?"
Zoro confirmed, "Is this crawling forward?"
Luffy: "A bunch of perverts."
"Oh." Chopper suddenly realized, "So crawling is being a pervert!"
"Everyone, halt."
A moment later, the leader dressed as a guard asked, "Is it you? You are the eight illegal intruders reported by the surveillance officer, who came from the Blue Sea. You must accept Heaven's judgment!"
"nani?!" Lin Hai exclaimed, "Heaven's judgment? Oh my, I'm scared to death! What should we do, everyone?"
Saying this, Lin Hai pretended to be extremely terrified, then wrapped his arm around Nami's waist, trembling.
Sanji immediately bristled, "Lin Hai, you idiot, let go of Nami right now."
Nami lightly patted Lin Hai's head, "There, there, Mom's here..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nami's face suddenly turned red. How did she end up saying something like that?
"Pfft, hahaha..."
The entire Straw Hat Crew sat on the ground and burst out laughing.
Chopper's eyes widened, "Lin Hai, so Nami is your Mom? Sugoi!!"
"nani?!" Luffy also widened his eyes and asked, "Really? Lin Hai is Nami's son?!"
Lin Hai looked up at Nami with a resentful expression. Nami, her face red, glared and said, "Didn't I say I misspoke?"
Who told Lin Hai to act so cute just now?
Meanwhile, the guards on the side all had faces full of black lines upon seeing this scene. What was wrong with this group? They were just ignoring them during such a serious matter?
This is outrageous!!
.........Chapter 128 Lin Hai is poisonous!
"Quiet!" the leading guard roared, his forehead full of black lines.
Luffy turned his head and asked, "Who are you?"
The leading guard said, "We are the White Beret unit, directly under the God's Enforcers. I am Captain McKinley of the Beret unit."
Saying that, McKinley showed the photo uploaded by the surveillance officer Amazon and said, "There is no room for defense, we have received photos taken by the Heavenly Gate's surveillance officer with a visual dial..."
Before McKinley could continue, Lin Hai exclaimed, "Everyone, see? My photo is the most handsome!"
"Roar!" Sanji angrily said, "Mine is the most handsome."
Lin Hai: "Mine!"
Sanji: "Mine!"
Lin Hai: "Mine!"
This scene made McKinley, who was on the side, feel offended for the second time!
"Quiet!" Just as McKinley was about to say something, he suddenly realized he had forgotten what he came for?
The Cloud Coast was silent for a few seconds, everyone staring at each other...
Luffy was the first to speak, "I'm not interested in what you're saying. If there's nothing else, we're going on an adventure."
After speaking, Luffy looked at Lin Hai, his eyes shining, and said, "Hey, hey Lin Hai, is there really delicious food on that island?"
Zoro replied, "If there's sake and a good sword, that would be best."
Sanji's eyes were full of red hearts, staring at the sky in infatuation, saying, "Beautiful ladies, beautiful ladies..."
And Nami was muttering with eyes full of money, "Treasure, treasure..."
McKinley, who was on the side, for some reason, really wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill himself by hitting it!
The enraged McKinley immediately said loudly, "Enough! I said you have committed two crimes. First, illegal entry into God's Country. Second, obstructing us from performing our duty!"
Luffy punched the palm of his other hand, suddenly realizing, "I remember now, Lin Hai said you guys were here to cause trouble, move aside..."
Usopp quickly covered Luffy's mouth and then said, "You know it but don't say it."
Luffy naively said, "But they are here to cause trouble, let go of me, I want to beat them, mumble mumble..."
Usopp ignored McKinley's expression and covered Luffy's mouth!
At this time, Sanji asked, "What does illegal entry mean?"
Robin explained, "To enter God's Country, each person needs to pay one billion Iku. According to Conis's explanation just now, one billion Iku is one hundred thousand Belly. We indeed didn't pay at that time."
Usopp replied, "But didn't that old lady say that we could enter without paying?"
McKinley said, "It's useless, don't make excuses, hurry up and admit your guilt. But you don't need to panic, illegal entry is only a level eleven crime in the Heavenly Judgment. If you are willing to accept the punishment, you can immediately become safe travelers."
"What's going on?" Sanji said speechlessly, "You should have said this earlier, you scared us all for nothing. Tell us, what is the punishment?"
McKinley explained, "It's very simple, you just need to pay ten times the entry fee. As long as you pay on the spot, the crimes you have committed can be cleared on the spot. One person, one hundred billion Iku..."
"What did he say? So you want us to pay eight hundred billion Iku, which is eight million Belly?" Nami instantly went berserk and wanted to beat up McKinley, but was stopped by Lin Hai.
At this time, Sanji retorted, "This is too expensive, right? Eight million Belly can buy how many tons of rice, who can accept this!"
McKinley replied, "What are you talking about, wasn't it enough to pay eight hundred thousand Belly in the first place?"
"That's also very expensive, isn't it?" Sanji exclaimed.
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "I say Sanji, why are you so agitated?"
Luffy replied sincerely, "Exactly, didn't Lin Hai just say they were here to cause trouble? Stupid Sanji."
Sanji immediately turned his head and said, "What are you saying, you idiot!"
Usopp looked at McKinley suspiciously and asked, "This is our first time here, and we don't know anyone here, right? Why are you here to cause us trouble?"
Luffy and Chopper asked at the same time, "Yeah, why?"
Before McKinley could answer, Lin Hai smiled and said, "Actually, I know the reason."
"You know?" everyone exclaimed.
The Straw Hat Crew and the White Beret unit all looked at Lin Hai, especially McKinley. The people he brought were here to cause trouble, but how did that Blue Sea person know his purpose?
At this time, Lin Hai put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky...
Seeing Lin Hai's posture, the Straw Hat Crew felt a strange familiarity!
"Ah." Lin Hai said with a weathered tone, "It's all my fault, it's actually because I'm too handsome, they are very unhappy with me..."
Before Lin Hai finished speaking, everyone fell over!
"What kind of joke is this?" Just as McKinley, unable to bear it, was about to retort to Lin Hai, Lin Hai had already preempted him.
"A joke?" Lin Hai stepped forward and asked, "Someone as handsome as me naturally speaks rigorously, do you think I'm joking? You can even say such outrageous things?"
In my hometown, there's a saying, you can talk nonsense, but you can't eat things randomly. Bah, it's you can eat things randomly, but you can't talk nonsense, do you know that?
In Windmill Village, I am the most handsome. Luffy can fully testify to this point. Think about it again, as soon as we met, you directly accused us of two crimes. Let's not talk about the second one, just the first one, how much is your monthly salary?
"Me?" The dumbfounded McKinley replied foolishly, "Less than a billion Iku."
Lin Hai asked, "So you're saying you can't even afford to pay this amount yourself? Let alone us? Look at us, where do we look like rich people?
Especially our Captain, he eats more than ten pigs. He was kicked out by the villagers because he ate too much.
Do you know, back then, we couldn't even feed ourselves? Do you know the feeling of being abandoned back then? Do you know the difficult life we lived drifting on the sea?
Our lives are already this hard, and this bastard still shamelessly asks us for so much money? Think with your butt, is that something we can afford?
You are clearly aware that we can't afford it, yet you pose such a difficult problem, clearly making things difficult for us. And the reason for this is because you are jealous of my handsomeness, right?"
McKinley was bewildered, who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do?
Lin Hai would not give him a chance to react and continued to ask, "You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say cannot hide the fact that you are jealous of me."
After speaking, Lin Hai turned back and put his hands behind him again, looking up and sighing, "In conclusion, being handsome is also a crime! You don't need to be so jealous of me, in fact, I'm also very troubled, time flies, looks fade..."
Saying that, Lin Hai started singing, "Spring goes and spring comes back, flowers wither and flowers bloom again..."
Cough cough, off-key, everyone shuddered.
Everyone on the Cloud Coast was pulled back to reality by Lin Hai's cracking voice, and then looked at Lin Hai in a daze, seemingly having forgotten what they were supposed to do next.
Is Lin Hai really that pitiful? Is he really that handsome? So being handsome also has so many troubles!
Thankfully we look very ordinary!!
No! This Lin Hai is toxic!!
"Oh!!" Luffy, who reacted first, pointed at Lin Hai and exclaimed, "Everyone, this guy Lin Hai's brain is really useful!"
"Baka, is now the time to say this?" Sanji was the first to retort, "Speaking of which, what were we planning to do here? I forgot..."
Good heavens, truly good heavens, being flamboyant was one thing, but Lin Hai actually managed to confuse his own people as well...
.........Chapter 129 Luffy's Lecture
"Ding, congratulations to the host for being logical, rewarding the host with an understanding of space..."
Just as Lin Hai finished speaking, the sao system delivered a reward, but Lin Hai had no time to check it at the moment.
At this time, Lin Hai winked at everyone, signaling them to get on the ship while they had the chance.
But everyone was confused by Lin Hai; how could they understand the meaning of his eyes?
Luffy asked doubtfully, "Lin Hai, is there something wrong with your eyes? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Hai's face darkened. Just as he was thinking about how to get away, McKinley reacted!
At this moment, McKinley said in a low, gloomy voice, "I am now..."
Before McKinley could finish, Luffy saw how bad McKinley's face looked and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? If you're sick, you should take medicine. You don't know, when Nami was sick, she almost died, hahahaha..."
Looking at this harmless guy in front of him, McKinley was really too lazy to retort.
Just as McKinley was about to continue speaking, Luffy suddenly exclaimed, hitting his other palm with a fist, and realized, "I know! You have a stomachache? Constipation?"
"Pfft..."
"Hahahaha..."
At this time, whether it was the Straw Hat Crew or the members of the White Berets, they all burst into laughter.
McKinley glared fiercely behind him, and they quickly shut up.
"Enough!" McKinley said with a gloomy face, "You Blue Sea people have not only committed the crime of illegal entry, but also obstructed us from performing our duties. Now you are slandering and intimidating the Captain of the White Berets. Your crimes have escalated to a capital offense and should be executed on the Cloud Stream..."
Zoro was the first to be unable to bear it and drew his sword, saying, "Give me a break..."
Usopp quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, don't be impulsive, Zoro!"
Zoro was furious, "That guy has been inexplicably accusing us of crimes since the beginning! Let go of me, I'm going to cut him down!"
Usopp advised, "But we can't just act recklessly either!"
Luffy said unhappily, "Are we supposed to just let them execute us for no reason?"
McKinley replied, "That's right, you'd better surrender obediently."
Lin Hai waved his hand, "What are we bothering with him for? I winked at you just now, meaning for you to get on the ship. Why are you all so stupid? Still standing there 傻愣愣地 (傻愣愣地 - dazed)?"
"What did you say? You're the idiot!"
"You are!"
"Clang, clang, bang, bang..."
For a time, at the Yun Coast, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Lin Hai fought amongst themselves.
"Gomu Gomu no Pistol..."
"Uwah..." Luffy punched McKinley away.
McKinley felt so wronged. He came to find trouble, so why was he the one getting hurt?
Seeing their Captain being punched away, the members of the White Berets quickly stepped forward.
"Captain!!"
"Captain, please pull yourself together!"
"Are you alright, Captain?"
Luffy and the others were still fighting amongst themselves, completely ignoring the guy named McKinley...
"I kick, I kick..."
"I cut, I cut..."
"Duang..." X4
Nami said speechlessly, "What in the world are you guys doing? Do you know what the situation is right now?"
At this moment, McKinley sat up and said, "Do you know the consequences of doing this to me?"
"What consequences?" Robin asked.
McKinley replied loudly, "It's the Cloud Stream Execution! Which means putting you and your ship in the clouds and subjecting you to the Lightning Execution! Capture them, fire, Cloud Arrows..."
Before Nami could stop them, the White Berets had already readied their bows and arrows and fired!
Luffy was the first to say, "Leave it to me."
Lin Hai smiled, "Whatever you want. Nami, shall we just sit aside and enjoy the show?"
Sanji objected, "No way!"
Would Lin Hai listen to Sanji?
Lin Hai was seen pulling Nami with one hand and Robin with the other to sit down. Then he took out the tea from his backpack, and the three of them drank together...
"Go, Luffy, go, Luffy!"
Nami said speechlessly, "Can't you just be quiet for a bit?"
"Hehehe." Robin chuckled lightly, "We are in big trouble now, and you're still in the mood to play around?"
Lin Hai said amusingly, "They have already set a trap; we can't escape. Since that's the case, are we supposed to cry and wail like that coward Usopp?"
Usopp's face darkened, "You bastard!"
"Don't you want my protection anymore?" Lin Hai said playfully.
"Ahaha." Usopp's face changed, "I was just kidding, you have to protect me!"
Chopper quickly echoed, "Me too, me too!"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "Watch their fight carefully and learn..."
Not far away, the arrows shot by the White Berets turned into long cloud paths, and they slid on the cloud paths with shoes made of Skypiea's 貝 (貝 - shells).
After observing, Luffy generally wouldn't make the first move but would observe the surroundings and the opponent's strength before making his move.
Sure enough, after some understanding, Luffy jumped into the air and used his unique move, "Gomu Gomu no Fireworks..."
Isn't that just using the properties of rubber to punch quickly like a shotgun?
And Fireworks? Where's the fire?
Instantly, all the White Berets were defeated, but Lin Hai, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but complain, "Can't they come up with a better name? There's no fire at all!"
At this time, Zoro, who was on the side, asked, "Nami, what's the financial situation on our ship now?"
Nami replied, "We have ten thousand Belly left."
"Ten thousand Belly?" Zoro said speechlessly, "Is that all?"
Nami also said dejectedly, "It can probably only last for a few more days."
"Why are we so poor?" Luffy scolded, "As the Captain, I have to say something to you two. You should consider how to spend the money, shouldn't you?"
Sanji was furious, "Part of it is for ship repairs, and the rest is all your food expenses, you bastard!"
"Ah?" Luffy's eyes instantly widened!
Usopp asked curiously, "Lin Hai, didn't you store a lot of food?"
Store what? Lin Hai's appetite is actually no less than Luffy's. Who knows that at the age of twenty, he would be able to eat so much!
But he couldn't admit to secretly eating, so Lin Hai had to make up a story, "Didn't I take out all the stored food for everyone to eat? Aren't you clear about Luffy's appetite?"
Unable to bear Usopp's suspicious gaze, Lin Hai quickly changed the subject, "Let's get on the ship quickly, we can't stay here. Moreover, we absolutely cannot go back to Konis's place, lest that group of people cause trouble for her family..."
And so, the Straw Hat Crew all boarded the Merry Go and headed to the God's Island they absolutely could not enter - Apaya.
Lin Hai, who had boarded the ship, used this time to open his system panel.

.........Chapter 130 Thousand Mountains and Snow
"Everyone," Miss Nami asked with some worry, "Are we really going to that island we absolutely shouldn't step onto?"
"Of course!" Luffy's eyes lit up. "What delicious food will be there?"
Nami reminded him, "That guy called God can release lightning. Maybe we'll die!"
Luffy replied, "What's the big deal? People die eventually."
Seeing Luffy so calm, Nami doubted, "Are you pretending to be calm? Who isn't afraid of death?"
Lin Hai laughed, "He's not pretending to be calm, he's excited to death."
Lin Hai and Luffy exchanged a look, then high-fived and said in unison, "Bingo."
Sanji and Usopp, seeing the behavior of these two, immediately stepped forward and kicked them...
Usopp kicked and said, "You two bastards, stop always grinning, okay? I'm scared to death!"
Sanji kicked and said, "Can you worry more about Miss Nami and Robin?"
Usopp added, "And Merry Go, and while you're at it, Zoro and Chopper..."
Suddenly, a giant lobster, which is Skypiea's unique Super Express Shrimp, ran out from under the Merry Go and lifted it up.
Usopp exclaimed, "What's happening? What's with this huge tremor?"
Chopper screamed in fear, "Ah, God is angry. We're going to die, we're going to die."
Nami cried, "It's all you bastards. You said we were going to God's Island, and now God is angry!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "I say Nami, calm down. That's a Super Express Shrimp, just a bit bigger than the one that brought us up last time."
Sanji looked down at the railing and asked, "Where is it taking us?"
Zoro said, "It should be taking us to God's Island, right? Did they receive the message so quickly?"
McKinley at the cloud coast sneered, "Originally, if you had obediently listened to me, you wouldn't have had any problems. We White Berets are the most gentle enforcers in God's Country.
You fools, you didn't listen to me. Next, you will face the judgment of God's Enforcers. They won't be as easy to talk to as I am, hmm?"
McKinley suddenly noticed something flying towards him...
"Pia..."
"Ah, it stinks!!"
McKinley screamed and then fainted.
Luffy immediately exclaimed, "Usopp, you're amazing!"
Usopp pointed at Lin Hai and asked, "You bastard, I only have one pair of shoes! Why did you throw my shoe away?"
Lin Hai threw a pair of shoes to Usopp and didn't bother to explain. That guy has been wearing the same pair of shoes for so long...
At this time, the Merry Go, carried by the Super Express Shrimp, entered high-speed navigation.
Soon, the Merry Go arrived at an altar on God's Island!
"Where is this?" Usopp hid in a corner of the Merry Go, observing furtively.
Lin Hai was speechless. Didn't this guy say he wanted to become a brave warrior of the Sea? Is this it?
At this moment, Robin observed the surroundings and was attracted by the writing on the walls of the altar. Nami nervously confirmed, "This should be an altar, right?"
Luffy immediately said excitedly, "Everyone, I smell the scent of a grand adventure! This is fantastic, fantastic, fantastic..."
The echo reverberated through this ancient forest.
At this moment, in a dense forest, towering trees stood tall. Some of the tree trunks were actually seven or eight meters in diameter. At times there were bird calls, at times the sounds of mysterious behemoths, and at times the screams of wild beasts...
The Merry Go was placed on the altar, which was over ten meters high, by the Super Express Shrimp. There were flames burning on several stone pillars beside the altar, as if someone was preparing for a sacrifice.
Below the altar was a sea of clouds. Looking at this scenery...
"Huh? What's wrong with Lin Hai?"
Seeing Lin Hai slowly walking forward, Zoro was the first to ask.
When Zoro asked, the others didn't understand either!
Little did they know, in this atmosphere, Lin Hai was inspired to compose poetry!!
Just like that, Lin Hai stopped, took a deep breath, pointed forward with his finger, and then recited loudly, "Vast layers of clouds for miles, snow on a thousand mountains at dusk, where does a lone shadow go? I ask the boundless... hmm?"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai saw something unclear dripping down near the finger he was pointing forward with, just barely missing it!!
"Caw caw caw..."
A bird call passed by. It turned out that was bird droppings just now! It really ruined the scenery!
"Oh!" Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and then asked, "Could something this coincidental really happen? Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter..."
Sanji's laughter immediately broke the silence in this area.
"Hahaha, Lin Hai, why didn't that bird dropping fall on your hand?"
"No, no, no, if it fell on his head, I think that would be the most interesting. Who told that guy to say something nonsensical again?"
"Hehehe, Lin Hai, are you okay?"
How could he be okay? That damn Bear, I'm so angry!
Seeing that the bird still didn't fly away and was even circling above the Merry Go, as if mocking Lin Hai, its meaning was clear: if he dared to show off again, it would do it again...
So, Lin Hai cursed at the bird, "Beast, defecating anywhere is immoral behavior. If you have the guts, fly down and see if I don't roast you, damn it..."
Seeing Lin Hai dodge that white unidentified object again, Luffy stepped forward seriously and said, "Lin Hai, there's no need to get angry at a bird, right? You haven't been hit yet, have you?"
"No, I can't control it, hahaha..." Looking at the simple Luffy, although his tone was normal, it was full of mockery. Sanji burst into laughter again.
Chopper exclaimed, "Now even the birds look down on Lin Hai?"
Lin Hai immediately turned his head and said, "You two bastards, do you believe I'll chop you both up!"
"Hahaha..." Now everyone started laughing.
Lin Hai really didn't expect this. Did he not check the almanac before going out today? Is it not a good day to go out?
However, this burst of laughter brought life to this deep forest, and at the same time, it attracted some creatures from the sea of clouds.
"Roar..."
Suddenly, a giant fish jumped out of the sea of clouds, intending to treat the Merry Go and the people on board as food!
Lin Hai's eyes narrowed, and he stopped Luffy and Zoro, who were about to step forward.
"Space Field..."
"Clang..."
Soon after, Lin Hai returned with dozens of large pieces of fish meat. "I say, everyone, before we go into the forest, let's fill our stomachs first..."
Nami exclaimed, "You bastard, didn't Conis say that this kind of fish is a totem of Skypiea..."
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Okay then, give me Belly, and I'll go buy food."
"Cough cough." Nami immediately replied, "Actually, I think this is pretty good too."
"Sanji, hurry up and get to work! Grilled fish, stewed fish, roasted fish..."
"Hey, hey, hey, God, please forgive me, I didn't do this."
"Usopp, you won't get any of this fish later..."
