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

Unfortunately, this ship has no sails; it can only be propelled by lightning.

Luffy said upon hearing this.

"I've already thought about that."

"We acquired this ship primarily for the gold on board."

"However, the Merry is too small to hold so many."

"So, after we reach an island with a shipwright."

"Let them help us build a new, large ship!"

"Then we can transfer the gold to the new ship, and we'll abandon this spaceship!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, everyone was immediately taken aback and began to ask questions.

"Build a new ship? What about the Merry?"

"Yes! The Going Merry has been sailing with us for so long, we can't just abandon it, can we?"

Seeing everyone's excited state, Luffy quickly tried to calm them down.

"Don't worry! Of course I won't abandon the Going Merry!"

"The Going Merry is, after all, one of our partners!"

How could I have done such a thing?

Hearing Luffy say that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But they were still very puzzled and asked questions.

"Then what about your earlier talk about building a large ship?"

Luffy nodded and explained.

"It's not just about gold."

"With more and more people on our ship, haven't you noticed that the Merry is now too small for us?"

"We can't even find a proper place to rest normally."

Upon hearing Luffy's words, everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

The ship's cabins were only so big; apart from the kitchen, bathroom, and laboratory, there were only two small rooms that could be divided into bedroom areas.

These two small rooms are usually where several girls on the ship sleep together.

Luffy and his crew would just find a random spot, lie down on the ground, and the night would pass by.

For the Straw Hat crew now, the Going Merry is indeed a bit too small.

At this point, Luffy continued.

"Once we have a ship with enough space, we'll have them help us modify the Merry."

"Isn't the current Merry powered by sails?"

"But have you noticed that there are 200 wind-blown shells at the bottom of this flying spaceship!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Luffy say that.

Weiwei even transformed into her Azure Phoenix form and flew to the bottom of the ship to investigate. Sure enough, she found many Wind-Spitting Shells at the bottom of the ship.

Back on deck, Vivi reported what she had seen in shock.

"There are really a lot of steam-blowing shells down there!"

After confirming this information, everyone was utterly shocked.

"Didn't Connie say that the Wind-blown Shells were extinct? Why are there so many on the bottom of this ship?"

"And with 200 wind-blown shells, they could probably even support such a giant ship!"

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Luffy smiled and nodded, saying...

"These Wind-Blowing Shells must have been collected by Enel from various parts of Skypiea."

"So what I'm thinking is that we can use these jet shells to transform the Merry into a fast landing ship like the Wibler."

"We can use the Merry to quickly go to places that are inconvenient for large ships to enter."

"Moreover, if we use the blower shell as a power source, we can even cross the doldrums and go anywhere in this ocean."

After hearing Luffy's explanation, everyone was convinced by this idea.

And everyone was incredibly excited.

A ship that can go anywhere on the high seas sounds like a dream.

With a new goal in mind, the Straw Hat crew set off for the next island with great anticipation!

After sailing for some time following the direction indicated by the log pointer, they arrived at a long chain island where everything was very long.

However, the island is very deserted, inhabited only by an old man and various very long animals.

After learning that the old man had been separated from his village because he was afraid to come down from stilts after 10 years of walking, they had Weiwei take them directly to the place where their village was located.

Because the Long Chain Island is composed of 10 small islands, and these 10 small islands are themselves considered a large island.

So the distance is not far.

With Vivi's speed, she quickly saw them off and returned to the Straw Hat crew.

After a brief rest on the island, the Straw Hat crew set off again for the next island.

...

After sailing at sea for two days.

The morning of the third day!

It was springtime, and the weather was sunny.

A gentle breeze occasionally caresses the face, making one feel extremely comfortable.

Nami sat on the deck, stretching comfortably, and said.

"Fortunately, we haven't encountered any bad weather these past few days, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Uta sighed with satisfaction.

"Yes! The weather has been so nice these past few days!"

"It looks like we'll be reaching the next island soon."

Just as the two were enjoying their moment, they suddenly heard a heavy breathing sound coming from the deck.

"call...."

The two looked over at the sound and saw Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and Karu, along with several other people and animals, training desperately, each of them looking like they wanted to kill someone.

·· ····Requesting flowers···· ·

This scene left them speechless.

Nami couldn't help but sigh in disbelief.

"What's going on with those guys?"

"Ever since they came down from the sky island, they've been training like crazy, as if someone owes them money, their eyes are practically bloodshot."

Luffy, lying to the side, chuckled upon hearing Nami's words and replied.

"They must have been spurred on by seeing me become stronger!"

That's why I work so hard.

Just as Luffy said, the shock he brought to those people after using Gear 5 was too great.

They all felt that if they didn't train harder, the gap between them and Luffy would only widen.

By then, they won't even be worthy of staying on this ship.

Just then, Vivi, who had been hovering above the spaceship, suddenly landed and excitedly addressed the people on board.

"Everyone, we can see the island!"

"We also found a strange house, it looks like some kind of platform!"

Hearing Vivi's words, Luffy and the others followed her to the side of the spaceship.

Sure enough, they saw a small platform very close to them.

The island, however, is located in another direction, further away.

But at that moment, everyone was drawn to that strange platform.

They spotted a faintly visible railway track on the sea near the platform.

"What is that?"

Why are there things that look like tracks in the sea?

Just then, they suddenly heard a steam horn.

"Woooo..."

Everyone heard the sound and looked around.

Then, a ship resembling a train appeared, traveling at an extremely high speed along the track on the sea surface, coming from the direction of the island they had just left.

.. .... ....

This scene stunned everyone.

"Is that... a ship?"

"What kind of monster is that iron thing?"

"That's impossible! How can such a strange thing sail at sea?"

While everyone was in shock, a frog covered in wounds suddenly appeared and blocked the train's path.

Before they could even cry out in alarm, the frog was instantly struck and sent flying by the train!

"Ouch...that frog got hit!"

"Why did that frog go to block this monster?"

Just as everyone was puzzled, the platform door suddenly opened.

Two figures, one large and one small, emerged, accompanied by a kitten.

"Whoa! Grandma Kokoro! There's a boat flying in the sky!"
