I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"I said, believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm not forcing you to believe."

"This is the [Incredible Cloud]!"

Luffy gave Jade Cloud a new name.

Chopper was very supportive, exclaiming, "Wow, Luffy is so smart!"

"Well...you could say that. There's no definitive explanation for this type of cloud right now."

"But I suspect that if the Sky Islands really exist, they must be located on top of them!!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy and Usopp jumped up happily again, full of energy.

Luffy: "Alright!! Let's go up to the clouds!! Zoro, wake up!!"

Zoro: "Huh? It's dawn?"

Bai Yun: "It's been bright ever since I fell asleep."

"The problem is, how do I get there?! How many times do I have to tell you?!"

Nami shouted angrily, "Everyone knows the Sky Island is in the sky, the main problem is how to fly up there."

"That's right, that's the key point. Listen carefully to what I'm about to say, or you might die!"

Kulikate said.

After being silenced by Nami's several punches, Luffy and Usopp, their faces swollen like pigs, said, "We're about to die."

There is a kind of "sky-piercing current".

"Theoretically speaking, as long as you go with the ocean current, you can go to heaven, understand?"

Kulikate continued, "It's all new knowledge."

Nami remembered this word; she had heard Bellamy say it when they were in Mock Town.

"But the people of Mogu Town said that in the end, all the ships will fall into the sea."

"That's because they don't understand, they're talking nonsense!!"

Kulikate had a lot of disdain for the people of Mogu Town.

"While that's not wrong, the most important thing is timing!"

"It's just being swept up into the sky by the ocean current. It sounds simple, but it's not easy to do."

"The surging ocean currents, to put it bluntly, are disasters, natural killers that should be avoided if possible."

"Using disasters is not as simple as it seems."

Chapter 205 This is a win-win situation

When Kulikate asked whether he or she understood Skypiea better, Bai Yun really wanted to slap him in the face, but then thought better of it. There was no way to explain it; he couldn't very well say it was just a dream.

Luffy and his crew were easy to fool, but now that Robin has arrived, it's best to be cautious.

........

He then said that using the surging ocean currents to fly into the sky was merely taking advantage of a natural disaster, an operation with a slim chance of survival.

Kulikate further explained the principle behind the surging ocean currents, but this is not the definitive conclusion.

It's just a saying.

"There is a large hole on the seabed. The cold seawater from the surrounding area flows into the hole and is affected by the geothermal activity on the seabed, which generates huge amounts of steam. When this steam accumulates to a certain extent, it causes an underwater eruption, forming a [sky-piercing current]."

"The explosive force continuously blasted the seawater into the sky for about a minute."

"The outbreaks occur in different locations each time, and the frequency is five times a month."

After saying this, Kulikate had finished explaining how to get to the Sky Island and the principles behind it.

After hearing this, Nami exclaimed, "A continuous flow of water for a minute—that's an incredible scale!!!"

Usopp listened to the whole thing from beginning to end, and Bai Yun felt like his feet were so tired they could be used as sewing machines.

"You...you want us...to be smashed to pieces?"

Kulikate glanced at him. "You're right. If the surging ocean currents don't carry you to the Cloud of Accumulation, you'll plunge into the sea, be shattered to pieces, and be completely wiped out!"

"It is a possible consequence, and of course, none of us want it to happen."

"Besides, even if the surging ocean currents take you to the Cloud of Emperor Ji, you will still die if there is no Sky Island."

The more scared he was, the more violently he trembled. Usopp, however, laughed, a laugh that lacked any real conviction.

"Hahaha, okay... I understand, everyone give up on Skypiea. What a shame! Luffy, it was such a close call!!"

"To put it bluntly, if you're not one of the luckiest of the lucky... well, if you're not one of the super lucky ones, you simply can't go!"

He kept talking, and Luffy still had a big smile on his face.

"No problem, go ahead!"

"Who knows? Maybe we're the super lucky ones, Usopp."

Bai Yun chimed in.

"Haha, Bai Yun is right, how will we know if we don't try?"

"What do you mean 'no problem' and 'you'll know once you try'? You guys always say these kinds of nonsensical things."

"Look at the Going Merry, barely clinging to life. How could it possibly withstand such a massive disaster?"

Kurikate always affirmed Usopp's words.

“You’re right. Even if that ship were brand new, it would be difficult for it to arrive safely.”

"Whether it's speed, weight, or the strength of that ship, it will definitely disintegrate the moment the current bursts."

Usopp couldn't possibly accept hearing that the Going Merry was going to break apart!

"What!!"

So let's just give up!!!

Kurikate always agreed with Usopp's words, but there were always things he said later.

"But you don't need to worry. The gorillas and apes will protect you regarding the boat. The first thing they'll do is reinforce the boat."

The gorilla and ape cooperated by poking half their bodies out of the house window, shouting, "Whoa!! Leave this to us!!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!!"

Luffy excitedly raised his hand in response.

"It's free, right?"

Bai Yun interjected, and Nami also perked up her ears—two money-grubbers.

"Need not."

Kulikate exhaled a puff of smoke as he replied.

"That's great."

Nami really likes things that are free.

"But the main problem is that we only have one day left on Gaya Island at most, and then the pointer will move to the next island."

"That's right! That's right!! There's simply no time!!"

Usopp immediately chimed in.

"Also, uncle, I don't think you're some kind of prophet. The day the surging ocean currents and the cumulonimbus clouds overlap—is that a few days, a few months, or a few years from now?"

Usopp was smiling; he was actually happy that he couldn't go.

Kulikate glanced at him. "It's tomorrow at noon. If you're going, you'd better get ready quickly."

Usopp's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "That's just right!!!"

Kulikate looked at him and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go." Although he said that, Kulikate understood, after all, it was a matter of life and death.

Usopp was speechless, then suddenly understood (but didn't quite).

"Something's not right!! You're lying!! You two are acting so friendly, we just met today!!"

"and!!"

"Shut up, Usopp!!"

Luffy tried to stop him, but Usopp wouldn't listen.

"shut up."

"You actually said the time to go to that ethereal, floating island is tomorrow!"

What a coincidence!

"They even want to send people to escort us and reinforce our ships? There's no way they'd offer such a good deal!!"

"What exactly are you trying to achieve?!"

"You're a descendant of the liar Noland! It's normal for you to lie!!"

Usopp's insane speech.
