The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

This made her truly envious.

On the deck, Luffy was boldly declaring to Usopp and Chopper that he would take care of everything from ammunition to medical books for making things in the future.

Yes, Luffy is no longer a second-generation rich kid; he is a genuine self-made millionaire.

As things stand, he is truly rolling in money and has achieved financial freedom in life.

Previously on Hannabal Island, the group's food, clothing, and other expenses were all covered by Luffy using the money he had left with Link, without using any of the ship's savings.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have so confidently patted his chest and declared that he would be in charge of Chopper and Usopp.

Luffy is incredibly wealthy these days; there are really very few pirates on the high seas whose wealth rivals his.

Even their total accumulated assets are far less than those of the Straw Hat Pirates, and in terms of per capita wealth, they are far superior!

However, per capita figures cannot be considered a reliable source of data; we still need to look at other data such as the median to compile statistics.

The Straw Hat Pirates currently face the problem of a significant wealth gap.

The group consists of the wealthy, led by Luffy, Link, Robin, and Sanji, and the poor, consisting of Chopper, Usopp, Zoro, and Ayumu.

Backup group: 893964460

The gap between the rich and the poor has widened dramatically, to the point of being almost starkly divided.

As for Nami, she's a low-key, moderately wealthy woman—neither rich nor poor, and doesn't belong to either faction.

However, this does not prevent her from having endless longing and yearning for wealth and status, and she has already taken action:

That is, start with Sanji, who is the easiest and most convenient person to fool.

Judging from Nami's gentle tone and Sanji's spinning top, it seems that sooner or later, Sanji will be completely taken advantage of by Nami.

Sanji will absolutely not receive any preferential treatment or advantage from Nami.

He'll be manipulated by Nami, and willingly at that...

He deserved it; people are just despicable, especially when they're sycophants. Sycophants never get a good death.

Thus, after their adventures in the Kingdom of Rare Beasts and the Deathly Sea Race, the Straw Hat Pirates seemed to have returned to their daily routines.

Those who should exercise should exercise, those who should go fishing should go fishing, and those who should cook should be sycophants?

Life has become orderly again, except...

It's rare to find peace on this vast ocean.

On this day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh. A gentle sea breeze blew across the sea, and seagulls cried out softly.

The Merry was sailing quietly on the calm sea.

"Is it raining?"

At that moment, Zoro, who was using training equipment to strengthen his arm muscles and was training with Ah Niu, felt something fall from the sky and hit his arm. He looked up in confusion.

"seems not."

Usopp, who was also training his eyesight, looked at the gray-black charcoal that had fallen onto the deck and then pointed his goggles at the sky.

"Is this... hail?"

Usopp blinked, looking somewhat uncertain.

However, as the object falling from the sky descended rapidly, Usopp's pupils dilated further and further.

As the objects that appeared in our field of vision descended from the sky, they gradually grew larger, revealing their full form.

From slag to planks, and from planks to logs, finally, a super-large two-masted sailing ship descended from the sky seemingly slowly, but in reality, at the speed of a missile landing, and crashed next to the Merry.

boom!

A huge wave, like a tsunami, pushed the Merry nearly a hundred meters away, and the sudden turbulence caused everyone on board to sway from side to side.

"Everyone, hold on tight to the mast right now!"

Zoro threw the exercise equipment aside, and together with Ah Niu, one of them gripped the mast and the other of Ah Niu, he turned to the crowd and shouted.

"What on earth happened?! What's going on?!"

Nami, who was counting money there, first put the money away, then hugged the mast, and then cried out in slight fear.

"Miss Robin, I will protect you!!"

Sanji tried to take advantage of the ship's swaying motion to get closer to Robin, but she used her Flower Flower Fruit to firmly hold him to the deck.

"You should take care of yourself first, Sanji."

Chopper's little hooves gripped the rope tightly, as if afraid of being thrown off balance: "Are we under attack?!"

With a ship sinking, it's hard not to think that there are other people out there on the high seas who are targeting them.

"Don't panic?"

Link, who was sitting in a sun lounger reading a newspaper, looked up and said, "It's just a big ship falling from the sky."

He calmly took a sip of juice and then replied quite composedly.

"Oh, so it wasn't an attack, it was just a big ship falling from the sky...??? Falling from the sky?!"

"Isn't this even more outrageous?!"

The crowd roared and shouted, making the sea exceptionally noisy.

In the end, it was Zoro and Luffy who took action, scattering the nearby debris to one side and leaving a safe sailing area for the Going Merry.

At that moment, Nami, who was the navigator, immediately noticed something was wrong with the log pointer in her hand.

"Look? The record pointer seems to be broken."

Nami looked at the Log Pose on her bracelet, which was pointing straight up at the sky, and announced to everyone with some difficulty, "The Log Pose is pointing straight up at the sky and won't move."

"Was it hit by something that just fell?"

"Since it's broken, why not find a nearby island and buy a new one?"

Everyone there offered their opinions.

"I think it's not broken, but rather attracted by an island with a stronger magnetism, so the record has been updated."

At this moment, Robin, who was standing nearby, voiced his guess.

"Eh?"

Nami, who both understood and didn't understand, looked up at Robin.

"What does it mean that the record has been updated?"

"That means, since the pointer is pointing upwards, it's clear that this pointer was recorded by the 'Sky Island'."

"Sky Island?!"

Everyone pondered the title for a moment.

"Hey! What's that? It sounds interesting!!"

Luffy looked at Robin with excitement and anticipation, as if he could smell the thrill of adventure again.

"An island floating in mid-air?"

Usopp can be understood literally.

"But there are no islands in the sky."

The innocent Chopper looked up at the clear blue sky, unaware of anything amiss.

That's not what I meant.

Robin continued, "To be precise, what's floating is the sea."

"ocean?"

Nami looked at Robin with a completely bewildered expression. Ever since the Skypiea incident came up, things had gone beyond her comprehension.

However, Robin quickly explained the existence of the Skypiea legend to Nami and the others on the ship, concluding with:

"To be honest, I've never been to Sky Island myself, and I don't know much about it."

Seeing Link standing there smiling without saying a word, Robin paused, then looked at the crowd and said.

You must know this, right?

She glanced at Link and thought to herself.

"That's right, there's no such thing as a sky island, it's impossible, how could islands and the sea float in the air..."

Nami extended the Log Pose strapped to her left wrist and chuckled dryly, "So the Log Pose really is broken after all."

She didn't want to attract the attention and interest of her idiot captain because of some strange place, which would lead to some more harrowing and unpleasant experiences for them.

"No, Miss Navigator."

Robin smiled slightly and looked at Nami, saying...

"What you should be thinking about now isn't where the pointer is broken, but how to get to the sky."

"Um?!!"

"No matter how bizarre the situation or how great the crisis the ship gets into, never doubt the logbook in your hand. It's an ironclad rule of navigation..." Robin, an experienced sailor, shared her wisdom with Nami, smiling as she looked at her. "In this vast ocean, the first thing you should doubt is the common sense in your own head."

“The direction the pointer is pointing to will definitely lead to a Sky Island,” Robin said decisively.

Do you doubt common sense?

Everyone stared thoughtfully at the direction of the recording pointer on Nami's wrist.

Nami, watching Luffy's increasingly restless figure and increasingly bright eyes, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Oh no, this guy heard it, and he seems quite interested...

"Sky Island does indeed exist."

Just as the ship fell silent, Link, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke up.

A gentle smile graced his face: "Above this sky, there are several islands. Some are angel islands made of clouds, while others were islands in the sea that were swept into the sky by the rising currents of the Grand Line."

Everyone else remained silent, listening to Link explain what an upwelling current was.

"...In short, the Sky Island must exist."

After the explanation, the crew members understood what a sky island was and couldn't help but ponder it.

"So, our next destination is the Sky Island?"

Zoro started swinging the two large dumbbells in his hands again. "So how are we going to get across?"

"Idiot, of course Link used that gadget to control the Going Merry and take us up there!"

"Oh, I almost forgot about Link's gadget. But speaking of which, who are you calling an idiot, you stinky curly-browed guy?!"

"What are you doing, Three-Sword Style Thorn!"

"Huh? No matter how thorny the problem, at least the photo on my bounty poster isn't a sketch!!"

"...Do you f***ing want to die?!"

The two of them started fighting in the back all over the place.

"Shall we go now?"

Ignoring the two idiots' bickering, Nami looked at Luffy's increasingly bright eyes and couldn't help but sigh resignedly as she asked from the side.

"It's decided, I'm going to the Sky Island!!"

Luffy made a decisive decision.

"Hey, shouldn't we at least try to find out some information first?!"

"That's right, that's right! It's never too late to go after you're fully prepared!"

Usopp and Chopper quickly stopped their captain, who was acting impulsively and without thinking.

"But does anyone know anything about Sky Island?"

Luffy touched his straw hat. "Also, where should we go to find someone to ask about the situation?"

"Look?"
