Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"We need to go to the Sky Island. Do you know how to get there?"

This time, he didn't call the other person an ape, so he immediately understood and stopped laughing, becoming extremely serious.

After staring at Luffy quietly for a while, the ape suddenly smiled and spoke.

"Don't talk nonsense, there's no such thing as a sky island."

"You actually believe such a ridiculous legend?"

The ape certainly believed that the Sky Island existed, but after staying in such a place for a long time, everyone around him treated the Sky Island as a joke, so even if someone asked him such a question, he would not reveal his true thoughts.

Despite the ape's denial, Luffy remained confident and continued speaking.

"I believe!"

"Sky Islands must exist!"

As he spoke, Luffy pulled Nami's arm over, pointed to the Log Pose on her arm, and said...

"Our record pointer is pointing to the sky, so there must be a sky island up there."

If you know how to get there, please tell us!

The ape was somewhat moved by Luffy's unwavering determination.

After all, it's rare to find a "fool" like them who believes in the existence of Sky Island!

He asked in a serious, deep voice.

"Do you really want to go to the Sky Island no matter what?"

Luffy nodded firmly.

"Yes!"

The ape suddenly grinned and let out an appreciative "humph".

"Alright! I'll take you to see someone!"

As he spoke, the ape adopted a smug expression.

"Who told you to spot my monkey-like appearance at a glance?!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Seeing the ape acting like that again, Usopp couldn't help but complain.

"I think he only agreed to take us because Luffy said we looked like monkeys!"

The others then chimed in.

"But judging from what he said, it seems there really is a way to get to the Sky Island!"

"He said he would take us to see someone. Does that person know the solution?"

"He's not lying to us, is he?!"

Hearing what everyone said, Luffy smiled and said.

"It's alright, he doesn't seem like the type to lie to us. Let's just go with them!"

Just then, Zoro and Sanji surfaced one after the other.

"Found it! There really is a map of the Sky Island inside!"

Sanji carefully took out a map that had been soaked by seawater.

"We also found something strange, but it looks like it's all broken and tattered."

Zoro also opened a bag and poured out a damaged object that looked like a vehicle.

Upon hearing this, everyone crowded around.

"This map actually has the words 'Sky Island' written on it!"

"I've never seen this strange mode of transportation before. Could it really be something from the Sky Island?"

"Sky Islands...do they really exist?"

Now, the evidence became even more conclusive, causing even Nami, who had once been skeptical, to waver.

Thus, led by the ape crew, Luffy and his crew began their journey towards Jaya Island.

...

Jaya Island, Mogu Town!

Inside a tavern!

Inside the tavern, a group of people sat around a table covered with the latest bounty posters.

Everyone stared at the faces and numbers on the bounty poster, their expressions filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Really?! 5 million Berries!!!"

"Even ignoring those two pets, the lowest one is worth at least 1 million Berries!"

"The Straw Hat crew is terrifyingly strong!"

"That's right! When I watched that live stream, I was terrified. They all instantly defeated their opponents. Especially their captain, Straw Hat Boy, who sent the crocodile flying with a single punch."

"I was terrified! Crocodile is a Shichibukai! It's unbelievable!"

"I heard they're still a rookie pirate crew, and they're already this strong. I can't even imagine what they'll be like in the future!"

"Do you think the Straw Hat Pirates might come here? Weren't they in Alabasta before? That's not far from here."

"No way?! I read in the news that the Straw Hat Pirates are a bunch of vicious pirates! They kill without blinking an eye, and they even dare to kill the Seven Warlords of the Sea in front of the whole world. If they come here, our town will be finished."

"Yes! I really hope they don't come here!"

In a corner of the tavern.

Bellamy sat with his pirate crew.

Listening to the chatter of the drunkards in the tavern, Bellamy took a big gulp of wine, then suddenly looked at the man across from him, who was embracing two women, and spoke up.

"Hey! Sakis! Do you think if I defeat Straw Hat Luffy, Doflamingo will make me a member of the Donquixote Family?"

Upon hearing Bellamy's words, Sachis was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"Are you crazy, Bellamy?"

"Didn't you hear? That straw hat kid is a man worth 5 million Berries!"

"You only have 5500 million Berries!"

"That kind of monster is not one we can afford to mess with!"

"Please don't do anything stupid!"

Bellamy didn't say anything upon hearing this, but his eyes showed a thoughtful look as he continued drinking.

Just then, Bellamy and his group overheard a conversation at a nearby table.

"Have you heard? That weirdo seems to have found some gold nuggets recently!"

"Gold nuggets?! Which weirdo are you talking about?"

"Who else could it be? It's that old man, Kulikate!"

"Although the gold nuggets you mentioned are very tempting, that area is the territory of the Ape Mountain Alliance! And if you get involved with that strange old man, you'll catch his madness."

"Pfft, hahaha... That's right! That's right! It would be such a waste to get infected with madness!"

Just as everyone was discussing this, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.

"I want to meet that man named Kulikate!"

Tell me everything you know!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the speaker, and their faces immediately showed expressions of horror.

“~ Bellamy…”

...

On the way to Jaya Island, the orangutan came aboard the Going Merry and told them a story.

Do you know Montblanc Nolando?

Everyone was stunned when they heard the name.

Only Sanji suddenly seemed to remember something and said something.

"Are you talking about that big liar from North Sea, Montblanc Nolando?"

The others all turned their puzzled gazes toward Sanji.

Sanji then explained.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you, I was actually born in Beihai, so I know this well-known story very well!"

Then, Sanji told everyone the story of Montblanc Noland.

After hearing Sanji's story, everyone on the ship looked dejected.

"How pitiful, that big liar!"

"Just like that... before he could even become a brave sea warrior, he was tragically executed!"

"Hey! Nami! Don't look at me while you're talking! And don't try to write a sad ending on your own!"

As the people on the ship were discussing this, Sanji continued.

"In fact, I've heard that this Montblanc Nolando is a real person!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else was shocked.

At this moment, the ape spoke.

“That’s right! The person I’m going to take you to meet next is a descendant of Montblanc Nolando.”

"He is also the final director of our Ape Mountain Alliance, Montblanc Coulicate!"

Then, the ape began telling Luffy and the others the story of Montblanc Cricket.

...

at the same time.

Jaya Island, east coast!

There is an extremely luxurious house that can be seen from afar on the coast here.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the luxurious house is merely a backdrop; the actual house looks strange, as if it has been cut in half.

On a table outside the house.

A man with chestnut-shaped hair and a man who looked like a gorilla were sitting together.

In their hands, they held a beautiful, glittering golden clock.

The gorilla looked excited, its eyes gleaming with anticipation, and said...

"Grandpa, we've found gold from the seabed again!"

"Perhaps we'll soon be able to find that lost land of gold!"

Montblanc Coulicate smiled upon hearing this and said...

"Idiot! It's not that easy!!"

"This sea is so vast and so deep, the Golden Land is not so easy to find."

"But now that we've found so much gold, it's increasingly proving that what my ancestor said about the land of gold wasn't a lie."

“That Montblanc Nolando... wasn't lying!”

A resolute look appeared in Kulikate's eyes.

He was determined to get to the bottom of this matter.

Just as the two were admiring the gold, a ship suddenly slowly approached from a distance.

When they saw what the ship looked like, Kulikate and the gorilla both frowned and looked serious.

The gorilla exclaimed in surprise.
