Gulp!
On the screen, the moment Zoro struck through the White Sea to successfully open a path for the Going Merry appeared, the viewers almost all gasped sharply!!!
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Damn it! That moss-head on the other side is too flashy!!!"
Vista: "This slash... is truly peerless..."
Jewelry Bonney: "How can this guy be so cool????"
Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha! This kid, he really put on a show!!!"
Dracule Mihawk: "The name of this move isn't bad..."
Buggy: "Hey, hey, hey!!! This great Captain Buggy actually became that guy's sidekick!!!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Wahahaha!!! Without your hands carrying Zoro out, Zoro wouldn't have flown that far! Your contribution was huge~"
A single strike piercing through the White Sea... Honestly, though difficult, being able to perform such a feat is worth it!!!
Moreover...
To use this slash in that background situation just now greatly enhanced its coolness and flair!!!
Whether it was the trust from his teammates or the extent of the crisis that saved the entire ship's crew... All of it made Zoro's slash full of special meaning!!!
It looked like an extremely powerful strike, but it symbolized his complete trust in his companions!!!
[The Going Merry rushed through the White Sea, soaring into the sky!]
["Wow! There really is a Sea of Clouds!"]
[Nami tightly clutched the railing, staring at this suddenly appearing other world before her eyes, exclaiming in surprise.]
[Luffy's arms and legs stretched, clinging to the Going Merry's hull, taking a deep breath, making himself into a big fat man!!!]
[Gum-Gum Balloon...]
[On the White Sea surface below, the broken and sunken debris of the ship was pushed away by the surging White Sea, and the Going Merry was once again inflated!]
[As Luffy's Gum-Gum Balloon slowly descended, the Going Merry landed steadily on the sea surface!]
[Luffy slightly loosened his two legs, found that the Going Merry didn't sink, and then let go of both hands...]
["It worked!! We can really sail here!!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise.]
[Zoro raised a slender finger to his forehead, looking up and peering into the distance~]
[He sensed: "Indeed, there's a Sea of Clouds... but it's a vast expanse of White here. Where exactly is Skypiea?"]
["Hmm?"]
[At this moment, Nami looked at the recording needle on her hand in surprise. "Why is the recording needle still pointing upwards???"]
["Is it???"]
[Hearing this, Luffy looked over, then raised his head to look upwards: "It seems... Skypiea is still even higher in the sky..."]
[Zoro also nodded: "Mm... It looks like this is just the middle layer of the accumulated clouds..."]
["Then how should we continue upwards????" Chopper sat on the railing, his two small legs dangling.]
[Luffy shook his head: "I don't know, but since this is a Sea of Clouds, we can look for it everywhere..."]
[His Observation Haki spread out, but he didn't find anything special for a moment.]
["No matter what... It's rare to come to such a mysterious place! Let's just try swimming in this sea!"]
[Usopp chuckled, and his clothes instantly slipped down to his ankles.]
["Hey, hey! We're not familiar with this sea area! Who knows what's inside, it's better not to mess around~"]
[Sanji lit a cigarette and immediately reminded him~]
[But as soon as he finished speaking, Usopp had already jumped down!]
[Luffy's Observation Haki immediately locked onto Usopp's movements~]
["It seems the water resistance in this sea area is very low. Usopp just jumped down without any effort!"]
["Huh? Wait!!!"]
[Luffy had just said two sentences when his eyes suddenly widened!!!]
[He hastily rushed to the side of the ship, punching the sea surface below~]
["Oh...!!!"]
[His fist directly plunged into the seawater!!]
["Hundred Views Blossom!!!—"]
[Seeing this, Zoro crossed his hands, and many eyes opened on the palms and forearms of Luffy.]
[Of course... Luffy didn't need this. Zoro also knew that Luffy's Observation Haki could lock onto Usopp. He used this trick simply because he was curious about what was happening in the sea~]
[Luffy's arm quickly passed through the thickness of the White Sea, directly reaching the sky below...]
["Ah!!!—"]
[Usopp shrieked in terror as he saw Luffy's outstretched rubber hand wrap around him in one go!]
["Oh...!!!"]
[As Luffy's arm retracted, Usopp was pulled onto the deck.]
["My god!! You scared me to death!! I directly passed through the bottom of this sea. If Luffy hadn't pulled me back in time, I would definitely have been shattered to pieces... Huff—"]
[Usopp took a few frantic breaths, then forcefully patted his chest~]
[Sanji lit a cigarette and shrugged: "I told you earlier we're not familiar with this area. I told you not to mess around. See, you almost died~"]
["No!! The main thing is that the water resistance in the sea below is very low, making it easy to dive. And the visibility in the sea is very low; it's a vast expanse of white everywhere. If it weren't for that, I would definitely not dive to the bottom of the sea," Usopp explained.]
[Looking at Usopp's bedraggled appearance, Nami said faintly: "So... as long as we don't swim to the bottom of the sea, we won't fall into the sky below, right???"]
["That's right!! If I have to do it again, I definitely won't be so reckless!" Usopp replied~]
[Nami, hearing this, also took a step onto the railing: "In that case, I'll try it too!! Let's see if this Sea of Clouds will have a cursing effect on Devil Fruit abilities~"]
["Nani?"]
[Everyone was stunned!]
[But thinking about it carefully, it seems true~]
[Normal seawater turns Devil Fruit users into hammer users, I wonder if this sea will too?]
["Luffy, remember to save me~"]
[Just as everyone was still dazed, Nami already plunged headfirst into the water.]
[And then... not a single bubble emerged~]
["Uh..."]
[Sensing Nami's situation, Luffy wordlessly smacked his tongue. He stretched out a hand, plunged five fingers into the water, and wrapped Nami up, then pulled her onto the Going Merry.]
[Nami slumped powerlessly onto Luffy's body, weakly saying: "Phew... It seems the effect of this White Sea is the same~"]
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Damn it!! Red-Leg Luffy took advantage of Nami again! Argh..."
Roronoa Zoro: "Bastard! Clearly, Nami on that side took advantage of Luffy!"
Nami: "Oh..."
Nico Robin: "Ahahaha~"
Clang!!
Suddenly, a cannonball flew towards them!!!
[Luffy's arm stretched out, his hand enlarged, and he grabbed the cannonball, then threw it back!]
[Its speed was so fast, it was like Katakuri's fist meteor!!]
Clang!!
[On the sea surface, a Shandian Warrior was instantly blasted pitch-black by the cannonball.]
[Luffy's arm grabbed again, pulling him directly onto the Going Merry's deck~]
[This unlucky guy had already passed out. It seemed he was already knocked out by the cannonball the moment it struck him~]
[Buggy went up and uncovered the person's head covering, then slapped him twice to wake him up~]
["Hey! Bastard!! Why are you suddenly attacking our ship?!" Buggy asked, looking at the dazed Shandian Warrior who was slowly coming to.]
["Damn invaders!!"]
[The Shandian Warrior turned his head, and only managed to say this.]
["Heh heh... Such a temper!"]
[Luffy's lips curled slightly, then he said: "Strip him of his equipment, then throw him into the sea!"]
[Zoro and Buggy immediately haphazardly stripped this Shandian guerrilla of his equipment, tying it into a bundle!]
[Luffy snarled at him: "Last chance, are you going to talk or not??"]
[The Shandian Warrior still remained: "Damn invaders!!! The great warrior will not spare you!!!"]
[Luffy's foot (daei) twisted—]
[The Shandian Warrior then flew off the ship like a ball~]
[Luffy's Observation Haki locked onto him. He was surprised to find that this guy only struggled a few times, but showed no remorse or begged for mercy~]
[Alright...]
[Luffy's arm stretched long, and as he passed through the bottom of the sea, he pulled him back up again~]
["Why? Aren't you going to kill me?"]
[The bound Shandian Warrior looked at his equipment being given back to him and asked coldly.]
["Although I don't know what your tribe has been through, don't just use the term 'invaders' to call people at the slightest provocation!!! Get lost!"]
[Luffy kicked the Shandian Warrior's butt, directly sending him flying out...]
["Why didn't you kill him?" Zoro asked with some curiosity.]
[Luffy said faintly: "Looking at his situation, his family might have been invaded. But it might also be a trick. Anyway, we're going to Skypiea, and we'll meet our tribe members soon. If they're a bunch of damned people, then it's not too late to kill him!"]
[Subsequently, the Going Merry continued its exploration~]
[Buggy's head flew in the sky as a scout...]
[Finally... after sailing for a while, the group discovered the Gate of Heaven.]
[Inspector Ama walked out: "To go to the upper layer, everyone needs to pay 1 billion Extol. This is a legal regulation."]
["Ho... how much!?"]
[Hearing this price, the Straw Hat Pirates' crew members were all shocked!!!]
[Nami's mouth widened even more: "And we only have Berries! I've never heard of anything called Extol!"]
["Berries? Oh, right, you're Blue Sea people. 1 billion Extol is equivalent to 100,000 Berries. Each person pays—"]
100,000 Berries to enter," Inspector Ama continued to say.]
["100,000 Berries? That's too much! The seven of us, plus one pet, just to enter the gate costs 700,000 Berries!!! Hey, hey, hey, we're here to spend money!!" Nami angrily waved her small fist~]
[Inspector Ama continued, "Pets also cost 100,000 Berries! However, if you don't want to pay this money, you can still enter!"]
["Really???"]
[Everyone's faces immediately broke into smiles.]
[However, Luffy directly said: "No! We'll pay! Since you say this is the law of this country, then we'll just abide by it~"]
[Nami was instantly shocked: "Hey, hey, hey! Luffy, she clearly said we can enter without paying!"]
[Luffy chuckled: "Let's still pay! We also have to pay entrance fees when we go to amusement parks. Now that their country has this rule, we'll just treat it as visiting an amusement park in the sky~"]
["Uh... okay!!"]
[Hearing Luffy say this, Nami suddenly felt it made sense.]
[Nami took out 800,000 Berries and handed it to Inspector Ama. She looked at the waterfall ahead: "So, where do we go to the upper layer???"]
[Inspector Ama took out a whistle and blew it. Soon, a large shrimp suddenly appeared beneath the Going Merry's hull!!!]
[The moment the large shrimp used its pincers to brace the Going Merry, Luffy's Armament Haki instantly covered the Going Merry~]
[Inspector Ama said: "This is a special product of the White Sea, 'Super Express Shrimp.' It will take you up!"]
[As her voice fell, this Super Express Shrimp instantly rushed towards the waterfall, and then, under everyone's astonished gaze, this Super Express Shrimp actually climbed up the sheer waterfall!!!]
[Don't even mention it, this speed is quite fast~]
[Just as the Going Merry left, Inspector Ama took out a Den Den Mushi.]
["Inspector Ama of the Gate of Heaven reporting..."]
["Almighty God and all divine priests... please sanction the 8 illegal immigrants from the Blue Sea who are heading to the holy land in the Land of God!!!"]
[Monkey D. Luffy: "Nani!!! This old hag bastard!!!"
Nami: "Damn it!! We didn't pay when we came, so we'll just get sanctioned! But those other guys, Luffy and them, they paid!!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "I estimate she's not here to collect money at all; she's specifically intercepting images of Blue Sea people entering Skypiea, for that guy Enel's hunting and entertainment~"
Roronoa Zoro: "It seems so. What a pity that Luffy and his crew over there were not only wanted, but also wasted 800,000 Berries paying for it~"
Trafalgar Law: "Not necessarily! The Going Merry over there hasn't gone far. With Red-Hair's Observation Haki, they can definitely hear this old hag's words!"
[The Super Express Shrimp took the Going Merry up the waterfall!!!!]
["Huh?"]
[Luffy's brow suddenly furrowed!!]
["Go back!" he commanded the Super Express Shrimp below.]
[Zoro, hearing this, his mouth slightly agape in surprise: "No way... are you trying to communicate with a shrimp?"]
[However, Luffy glared at the Super Express Shrimp. The Super Express Shrimp, which was originally charging wildly, immediately turned around smoothly and headed back~]
["Huh? Why are you back again???"]
[Watching the Super Express Shrimp bring the ship back, Inspector Ama's brows furrowed.]
["To beat you up!"
[Luffy grabbed Inspector Ama, and retrieved the 800,000 Berries he had just paid from her~]
[Facing such a crude Luffy, Inspector Ama immediately cursed: "Hey, hey, hey!!! You bastard kid! I am the Inspector of the Gate of Heaven! Do you want to violate the laws here???"]
["There's no damn law here!!!"
[Luffy pouted, then lightly tossed Ama into mid-air!!!]
[He bit his right thumb, blew some air...]
[Then stretched it back violently~]
["Gum-Gum Kong Gun!!!—"]
Smash!!!
[Inspector Ama turned into a small black dot, disappearing into the clouds~]
["What's going on???" Everyone looked at Luffy in surprise.]
["Let's talk on the way!"]
[Luffy shrugged, then glared at the Super Express Shrimp~]
["Buzz!"]
[The Super Express Shrimp immediately dashed towards the waterfall, carrying the Going Merry with it...]
