Upon seeing the magnificent Karu, their eyes filled with surprise.
"Quack, quack"
After performing a combo, Karu put away… his leek, then came before Roland and saluted.
From now on, he knew he was no longer emergency food, but the princess's duck knight.
Splash, splash~
The sea surface suddenly churned with violent waves.
"Heh heh, Boss, Big Sister, I caught a fish, let's add it to our lunch today!" Teapot Shukaku emerged from the water, dragging a Sea King, happily shouting.
The twelfth day since leaving Alabasta.

"Wah, ah, ah, Captain, you are truly amazing, I will always love you~ love you~" Nami enthusiastically confessed to Roland, yet she was hugging a pile of golden artworks on the deck, unwilling to let go.
"With so many golden artworks, could there be an ancient ruin's treasure vault beneath this sea area?!" Vivi speculated.
"Golden City… Shandora?" Robin repeatedly observed and examined them, finding a few clues.
"Golden City Shandora, what is that? The homeland of all gold?" Nami's ears perked up, immediately becoming excited.
"I know, I know, Golden City Shandora is the story of Noland the Liar, widely circulated in the North Blue…" Vivi told her good friend the story she had once read in a book.
"What? So it was just a liar's lie after all!" Nami shook her head, inevitably losing interest.
"No! The Golden City Shandora truly exists!" Robin suddenly spoke, her expression certain.
"My hometown once had a very excellent archaeological doctor. He excavated and studied ancient ruins left all over the world. According to his research, the Golden City truly exists, and it is related to the Void Century eight hundred years ago…" Saying this, Robin suddenly shook her head, not continuing.
The excellent archaeological doctor she referred to was naturally Dr. Clover, the founder of the All-Knowing Tree.
As for the information she knew about the Golden City, it was naturally learned from Dr. Clover.
However, it wasn't Dr. Clover who told her directly, but rather she used her Flower-Flower Fruit to eavesdrop on the scholars' conversations.
"Is there really a Golden City?" Vivi was still somewhat skeptical.
"Whether the Golden City exists or not, Brother must know!" Kuina spoke, arousing everyone from their dreams.
In an instant, all the girls' gazes simultaneously locked onto Roland at the bow of the ship.
"Hmm, as Robin said, the Golden City truly exists!" Roland nodded affirmatively.
"Oh, oh, oh, that's great!" Nami jumped three feet high with joy.
"Child… Captain Roland, do you know where the Golden City from four hundred years ago is? Did it really sink into the sea?" Robin's expression also showed eagerness; she knew Roland must know something.
After spending this time together, she had already fully appreciated Roland's incredibleness.
No matter what miracle appeared on him, Robin would not be too surprised.
Since Roland affirmed the existence of the Golden City, he must know where it is.
"It didn't sink into the sea, but went to the sky!" Roland pointed to the sky.
One of the most miraculous sights in the One Piece World — Sky Island!!!
Roland had long yearned for it.
Since he had the rare opportunity to visit this world, how could he not go to Sky Island?
Originally, Roland had planned to keep this as a surprise and secretly take everyone up.
But since it had been brought up now, he wouldn't hide it anymore.
"Up… up in the sky?"
The girls looked in the direction Roland was pointing, each with little question marks above their heads.
"Could it really be the Knock-Up Stream?"
Robin's beautiful eyes widened as she recalled a theory once proposed by Professor Clover.
"Seeing is believing. We're almost there, so why don't we just go and see for ourselves!"
Roland smiled slightly, and the Chicken Talisman glowed, applying its levitation power to the "Never Empty Army" ship.
Amidst the girls' surprised and delighted cries, the "Never Empty Army" ascended straight into the sky.
...
...
At this very moment.
Grand Line, Jaya Island.
Pirate Town, Mock Town.
As a notorious lawless zone, Mock Town was constantly a chaotic hub for pirates.
With so many pirates, various fights, brawls, and killings were inevitable.
Especially recently, the number of pirates arriving in Mock Town had surged.
Currently, the number of pirates in Mock Town was several times higher than usual.
Among them were many great pirates with bounties in the tens of millions.
The reason for this abnormal phenomenon.
It was all due to a piece of news circulating in the black market.
The Air Force Pirates would soon be passing through Mock Town.
