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

Using the updrafts from the towering ocean currents and Nami's skillful maneuvering, the Going Merry was now flying vertically upwards. Nami was very confident; as long as the wind and currents didn't disappear, they could go anywhere, no matter how high!

"I admire you so much!! Miss Nami~~"

Sanji's usual move: twisting his body and turning his eyes into hearts.

Luffy was always at the head of the sheep, meaning he was at the very front.

"Hey!! Nami, are we almost at Skypiea?!"

Nami couldn't give a 100% certain answer to this, "If there is one, it should be on the other side of the clouds."

"It's above the clouds."

Bai Yun added a sentence.

"Above the clouds~"

Obviously, this makes it much easier for Luffy to understand.

"What exactly is up there?"

"Then let's head towards Emperor Jiyun!!!"

"Ughhhhhh!!"

It's easy to see that Luffy is very excited, as he always is, especially when it comes to new things.

........

The Going Merry gradually rose higher and higher, finally reaching the foot of the Cretaceous Clouds. With excitement, Luffy and his crew rushed into the clouds.

At first, it was indeed clouds, like mist, but suddenly it felt like plunging into the sea, with water rushing towards me.

Fortunately, Bai Yun took a deep breath beforehand, otherwise he would have had to be sent.

Just as everyone was nearing their limit, the Going Merry finally flew out of the "sea".

"Pfft!!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

........

After taking off and traveling a distance, the Merry finally stabilized, but its wings were broken in the process.

The entire ship, including the people on board, was soaking wet, lying on the deck breathing heavily.

After all, none of us are fishmen.

"Ugh... I feel so awful, what happened?"

Is everyone still here?

Zoro asked.

Everyone looked exhausted, but Luffy was full of energy. "Look, everyone! Look outside the ship!"

"It's a cloud! The Going Merry is stopped on a cloud!! Why are we on a cloud?"

This clearly exceeds Nami's knowledge of meteorology.

The underlying principle is as follows.

The cumulonimbus clouds at an altitude of 7000 meters, composed of "ocean clouds," form a navigable sea.

These clouds contain keratinous particles that the Sky Islanders call "pyrobroin." These particles are ejected into the sky by volcanic eruptions, and when they condense with water vapor, their density changes, thus forming sea clouds and island clouds.

The sea clouds are very similar to the seawater in Qinghai, with strong buoyancy.

"Why not? Aren't clouds meant to be ridden?"

Bai Yundu described how Sun Wukong's somersault cloud could travel 108,000 li in a single somersault!

Luffy's ideas have always been fairytale-like.

"Of course not! No way."

"You even know that Bai Yun was telling a story."

Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper immediately told Luffy that no means no.

But the immediate issue is whether it can be done.

However, more importantly...

"Come quick! Usopp isn't breathing!!"

"Bai Yun's aura is also very weak!!"

Chopper noticed that Usopp and Bai Yun hadn't gotten up yet, so he went over to check on them, and what he saw startled him.

Bai Yun and Usopp are holding hands and jumping around at the entrance of the Underworld.

"What?! Then quickly start performing CPR on them!"

Luffy immediately said, "This is my comrade."

"it is good!"

Sanji immediately jumped out, but his next sentence was...

"I would be happy to give Nami a personality breathing session."

Bai Yun & Usopp: Thank you so much!!

Zoro, with his back to them, silently muttered, "Idiot."

Chapter 244 Let’s forget it

After some trouble, the Straw Hat Pirates finally reached the Sky Island.

When they plunged into the Cloud of the Emperor to reach the Sea of ​​the Sky, they were immediately submerged in water, almost drowning Bai Yun and Usopp.

.........

"So this is Kūkai, but look, the log pointer is still pointing upwards."

Nami looked at the pointer on her wrist; the pointer inside was still pointing diagonally upwards.

"Therefore, this should only be the middle level of the Jidi Cloud, and there is still more to go."

Robin replied.

"Keep going up, but here..."

Nami looked at the vast expanse of white and realized she was also "white-clad".

Over here, although Zoro spoke very softly, Sanji still heard the "idiot," which made him so angry that he leaned closer to ask what was going on, almost sticking his cigarette in Zoro's face.

Usopp and Bai Yun also woke up after being treated by Chopper and Luffy.

"Oh, we've arrived?"

"I think I just saw my grandma."

Bai Yun stood with his arms around Luffy's shoulder, trying to steady his breathing.

"Bai Yun's great-grandmother?"

Luffy and Chopper were puzzled.

Bai Yun shook his head. "It's alright, she went back on her own. She didn't want to take me with her."

Compared to Bai Yun, Usopp was much more energetic, even though he was terrified before he arrived.

"First step!! Captain Usopp, let's swim!!"

Usopp took off his clothes, jumped onto the fence, and looked very excited.

Luffy and Chopper also expressed their approval, exclaiming, "Yay!!"

"Hey, we're not familiar with this sea, so it's best not to do anything reckless."

Sanji tries to persuade him every time, but it doesn't work very often.

Bai Yun agreed, "Sanji is right, we don't know what's in the sea yet, Usopp."

But Usopp stood on the fence, as if the arrow was on a bowstring and had to be released.

"The sea is just the sea, what's so scary about it?"

Then he leaped into the water and landed perfectly in Kukai's waters.

........

There was little resistance in the air and sea, and it was formed by clusters of sea clouds, making visibility very poor.

Five minutes passed, and Usopp still hadn't returned.

"Why isn't Usopp back yet?!"

Luffy was so bored that he started banging on the fence.

Robin suddenly noticed a problem.

"Thinking about it carefully, is there an [ocean bottom] here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Where did Yun get this information?!

"I hope that guy doesn't fall from the sky!"

This is a matter of life and death, and Zoro can't stay calm.

He immediately jumped onto the fence and punched it, yelling, "Usopp!"

"That's why I told him not to do anything reckless, that guy!!"

Sanji couldn't help but clench his cigarette tighter.

"It's alright, Usopp has always been very lucky, and it took us at least five minutes to rush up here."

“We also have airflow acceleration. Usopp is just diving down. Five minutes shouldn’t be enough to get to the bottom.”

Bai Yun explained, reassuring everyone.

"Stretch your hand as far as possible."

Robin spoke to Luffy, her tone calm, but her slightly furrowed brows revealed her concern.
