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

Luffy was already in tears, "But I can't see, I can only rely on my senses."

"give it to me."

These three words always give me a sense of security, no matter when I hear them.

Robin crossed her arms, and flower petals appeared around her.

"【Hundred-Eyed Flower Blooms】!!"

Instantly, an eye grew from Luffy's arm, which he had stretched into the sea, along with his palm and arm.

The arm continued to extend downwards, finally spotting Usopp rolling his eyes.

"Yes!"

"Six-petaled flowers bloom!"

Robin used her Devil Fruit power, and immediately, multiple arms extended from Luffy's arm, overlapping to grab Usopp.

"Okay, pull him up."

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately pulled back with all his might, "Ugh... Aaaaaaah!!!"

With a snap, Usopp was pulled out of the sea.

"Great, pull it back..."

Just as Nami was about to breathe a sigh of relief, two enormous figures stood up behind Usopp.

A giant octopus and a... ribbonfish?

It's like fishing.

"What's that following behind?!"

"Ah!! Don't eat Usopp!!"

"Waaaaaaah!!!"

Chopper and Nami were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

Zoro declared it was his turn to perform, using the railing as leverage to jump.

"What's the big deal!"

With a double-sword slash, the octopus's tentacles shattered with two sharp cracks, revealing air inside! Now it was bubbling out like a balloon.

"Clap clap clap, Zoro is so reliable."

When Zoro landed and returned, Bai Yun immediately clapped.

Although it's a clone, its personality is naturally the same as the original.

Zoro merely glanced at him sideways, clearly already used to Bai Yun's antics.

"The clone and the original are really the same."

........

The balloon deflated, and the octopus slowly sank back into the sea.

The strange fish, much smaller than an octopus, was also knocked unconscious by Sanji's kick. Now its upper teeth are hanging on the side of the boat. Luckily, it's not big, or it would have capsized the boat.

"It's a strange creature, like a fish but not quite a fish."

Sanji said, stepping on the strange fish.

"And that octopus from earlier, it was like a balloon."

Chopper added.

"It seems that it's better to treat the clouds here as the sea."

Nami concluded that it's best not to rush in!

"Waaaaaah!!!"

Everyone quieted down, but Usopp started shouting again.

Sanji was furious because he didn't listen to his earlier warning.

"What's wrong now?! It's so noisy!! Usopp!!"

"I think there's something in my pants!!"

Usopp pulled a fish out of his pants, then turned to the side, clasped his legs together, and looked "faintly" sad.

"Sky Islands are so scary! Sky Islands are so scary!!"

Robin caught the fish and looked at Usopp, saying, "You're having a really bad day."

Bai Yun also came over to look at the fish in Robin's hand.

"We're already very lucky."

“If someone else had plunged in like him, they might already be meeting their great-grandmother.”

"Oh no, at this height, it will take some more time to fall."

Robin smiled in response and looked at the fish in her hand.

"This should be the [Sky Fish] recorded in Noland's diary. Its shape is the result of continuous evolution to adapt to this Sky Sea."

Robin explained that Luffy is always interested in strange creatures, so he came over and took the fish.

"That's why it sometimes swells up like a balloon and sometimes flattens out like a board?"

Zoro asked.

"That's to make it lighter; the buoyancy here should be less than below."

Robin replied.

Bai Yun nodded.

"That's why the octopus was like a balloon."

Fish living in the Sky Sea, which is composed of clouds with very little buoyancy, either inflate themselves into balloons or grow flat to reduce their weight.

"Judging from its mouth, it's probably a carnivore."

Nami guessed.

While they were discussing, Luffy started eating.

"Oh! Oh!! This is so delicious."

"Let's just make some fried fish." This was said by Sanji.

So Luffy went to find Sanji to cook for him. Hmm, so Luffy.

"I'm not even sure if it's safe to eat!!!"

Nami yelled angrily, "How can you eat everything?!"

"Is it tasty?"

Bai Yun expressed his doubts, saying that the fish didn't look like an edible animal.

"Then you should try it, Bai Yun."

Luffy held out the plate.

Bai Yun looked at it, and finally shook his head.

the most important reason.

The fish that Usopp pulled out of his crotch...

just forget it.

Chapter 245 I understand, sir.

The Straw Hat Pirates reached the clouds, but all they could see was a vast expanse of white, and they couldn't see where the Sky Island was.

As people catch fish with "Usopp bait," they can also learn about the characteristics of sea creatures.

Hmm...it seems like it's not really of any use to them in finding out where the Sky Island is...

........

"Where is the Sky Island? Where is it?"

Of the group, only Chopper was doing something productive, using binoculars to search for the Sky Island.

Meanwhile, after Nami told Luffy to eat anything, she started eating herself too.

"It's really delicious! This is the first time I've ever tasted this flavor."

"real?"

Bai Yun couldn't resist taking a bite in the end, and it was surprisingly delicious, with hardly any fishy taste.

"It was surprisingly delicious."

"Right, hehe."

"Let's bring that big fish over and grill it too!"

Luffy replied with a smile.

Just as Luffy finished speaking, Chopper spotted a ship in the distance through his binoculars, and it looked like there was... a person?

Just as I was about to tell everyone, flames suddenly erupted in my field of vision, and the ship was blown in two, engulfed in flames.

"Huh? Wow!!!"

Chopper couldn't help but gasp, dropping his binoculars onto the deck.

"What's wrong, Chopper? Did you see the ship?"

Bai Yun asked, even though he knew.

"No! Uh... I did see the ship, but it's gone now."

"And there's a cow riding on a four-sided cloud, charging this way!!"

"Oh no!!"
