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

"We've grown a lot since then!"

"It took me 50 years to get here! Yohohohoho..."

"Wow, it's so tall! It's huge!"

"It inexplicably makes me want to cry! It's been such a tough journey!"

"We've already gone halfway! Once we've gone halfway, we'll conquer this ocean!"

The group gazed at the red earth for a long time, lost in thought.

Everyone's face was filled with joy and excitement.

The Red Line is the most symbolic landmark in the Grand Line, and anyone who has gone through countless hardships to reach it will feel something.

After a long while, their emotions gradually calmed down from their initial shock and excitement.

Next, we needed to find a way to reach the Sabaody Archipelago.

Just as everyone was discussing the specifics and how to find it.

Suddenly, everyone felt a dangerous aura rapidly approaching them from the seabed.

Immediately, they all leaped to the right side of the ship and looked out into the sea.

In the vast blue sea, a dark shadow was seen approaching and growing larger.

Until a certain point.

Wow!

A loud splashing sound rang out.

Then everyone saw it.

A gigantic sea monster with a savage rabbit-like head was staring at them with its sharp fangs bared and its eyes bloodshot.

Roar!

The sea king let out a powerful roar.

Then it swooped down toward the people on the deck of the Sunshine, as if to devour them.

boom!

However, before the Sea King "307" could get close, Luffy casually threw out a punch.

The sea monster's eyes rolled back, and it collapsed onto the surface of the sea in agony.

Just when everyone thought this minor incident was about to end, they were all surprised to see something.

After Luffy punched the sea king, it spat out two shadows, one large and one small, from its mouth.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa…”

"Oh oh oh oh oh..."

Two screams rang out from the sky.

As the two figures drew closer, the Straw Hat crew members gaped in astonishment.

"That...that shadow is...?"

"No way?!"

"It really is..."

"Mermaid!!!"

Everyone gasped in surprise, and Sanji's eyes instantly turned into hearts.

As they gasped in surprise, the two figures simultaneously crashed onto the deck of the Sunshine.

And then they fell down.

Everyone could see what they looked like.

One of them is a mermaid girl with a human upper body but a fish tail.

The other one is a starfish wearing a hat.

Luffy recognized them at that moment.

The mermaid girl is Camie, and the starfish is Papagu, the chief costume designer of Fishman Island.

"Huh...huh..."

Kemi gasped for breath, trying to calm herself down after escaping from the sea king's jaws and falling from the sky.

After calming down a bit, she slowly raised her head to look at her surroundings.

When Kemi saw a large crowd watching them, her eyes popped out of her head in fright, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow!"

"Scared me!"

"There are so many humans?!"

The Straw Hat crew was still reeling from their surprise at seeing the mermaid when Camie's exclamation startled many of them.

After both sides were initially startled, Camie suddenly came to her senses, immediately returned to normal, and thanked the Straw Hat crew.

"I was almost digested, thank you for saving me!"

"I'm easily eaten by sea monsters!"

"This is almost the twentieth time!"

As she spoke, Kemi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had remembered something, and she said happily.

"Oh right! I have to repay you!"

"I'll treat you to takoyaki!"

Normally, Luffy would definitely choose takoyaki without hesitation.

But they still had things to do, so Luffy spoke up.

"We want to go to Sabaody Archipelago, can you take us there?"

Kemi immediately agreed.

"sure!"

"It just so happens that Xiao Ba runs a takoyaki shop nearby. I can treat you to takoyaki on the way and then take you to the Sabaody Archipelago."

Luffy nodded upon hearing that.

When Nami heard the name Hachi, she felt a sense of familiarity, especially when it was associated with an octopus, which made a certain person involuntarily come to mind.

After that, the two sides briefly introduced themselves to each other.

Next, they planned to go to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Just before setting off, Kemi suddenly remembered something and took out a Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

"Ah! That's right!"

"If I'm going to treat you to takoyaki, I need to contact Xiao Ba first and meet him later."

As Kemi spoke, she dialed a phone number.

The Den Den Mushi was connected very quickly.

"Hello! Hachi, this is Kemi!"

"Sorry! We got separated!"

Where are you now?

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a delighted laugh suddenly broke out.

"Hey!"

"That voice, isn't that Kemi's?!"

"Hahahaha..."

Do you know who I am?

"I'm not some nobody!"

Upon hearing this, Kemi was so startled that her eyes popped out again, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh?! You're not Xiao Ba?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded again.

“We are old acquaintances of yours, the Makuro family!”

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew realized that something was wrong.

Kemi also became serious and asked with concern.

"How did you get Hachi's Den Den Mushi?"

Another loud laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"Hahahaha..."

"That's because we killed Xiao Ba!"

Kemi immediately rejected the idea.

"You're lying! Little Eight will never be defeated by you!"

The Makulo family laughed.

"Hey! We used to be no match for Hachi!"

But this time...

"The Flying Fish Knights have joined forces with us!"

"Hahahaha..."

Just then, another voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Hey! Kemi, you're alright!"

"Great!"

Kemi immediately recognized it as Hachi's voice.

Nami and Nojiko both frowned when they heard the voice.

They all felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Kemi asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Ba! You were really defeated by them?"

Xiao Ba replied weakly.

"We were a bit careless!"

"Don't come here, Kemi!"

"Fine! I'll deal with them and then go back!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

As soon as Hachi finished speaking, the Makuro family's voices rang out again.

"Hahahaha..."

"Hey! Kemi!"

"I'm going to sell this guy!"

"Octopus fish-men are very rare; they're sure to fetch a good price!"

"If you want to save him..."

"It's located 5 kilometers east of Island 44 in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"That is, the base of the Flying Fish Knights!"
