"Skypea?" Robin looked up and asked, "Does an island in the sky exist?"
"It should be."
"Where did you learn it?"
"Just a guess? I mean, I have told you before the ancestor of the Big Kingdom was the people of the moon, so before they landed on the sea, I thought they might be living in the sky."
"...."
Baby 5 aside, since she would believe whatever Shinra would tell her, Carina and Robin knew that more or less, Shinra wouldn't do something without a purpose, so what was his purpose?
There were three important points.
Women, strength, or wealth.
Shinra was famous for being a womanizer, as he had been with many women, and even impregnated Carina and Robin, but he was a good lover as he would be responsible for his lovers, and helped them with their dreams.
Carina's dream was wealth, and Robin's dream was to search for the true history.
As for whether this trip was related to their dreams, would it?
Next, it was a strength, in which he went from one place to another to increase his strength, like how he started his adventure to the New World and gained the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire.
So, would this trip to Skypiea increase his strength?
Third, and the last, was a wealthy person who was more or less similar to Carina.
So, which one was it?
"Which one is it? That's all."
"All!" 3x
Robin's eyes widened, and she asked, "Is there a historical record on the sky island?"
"Yup."
"Is there a lot of gold?"
"Yup."
"Will there be a way for you to become stronger on this Skypiea, Shinra-sama?"
"Yup."
"..." 3x
"What are you waiting for then? Let's go!"
Carina quickly clung to Shinra, ready to go to the island in the sky.
"Wait, wait. Where did this wealth come from?" Robin looked up and asked, "Will those people on the moon leave their wealth in the sky on the island?"
"No, it should be from the Jaya Island."
"Jaya Island? How?!"
Under Robin's confusion, Shinra pointed at the hollow area of the Jaya Island, which was quite unnatural. "While it has been so long, you can see the trace of unnaturalness on this part as if it is torn apart by something."
"Was it? By what was it torn?" Robin looked at the trace curiously, but—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
All of a sudden, a loud, explosion-like sound echoed as they saw a tower-like existence growing in the distance.
"That's...?"
"Knock-Up Pressure," Shinra answered. "This part of the island is pushed to the sky by the Knock-Up Pressure and becomes part of Skypiea."
The Knock Up Stream is a powerful, pressurized water stream that shoots upwards to the sky from the Blue Sea. This event only happens 5 times a month, and the strength of each occurrence varies dramatically.
Naturally, some were strong enough to push the island into the sky, which was quite amazing, yet also dangerous since it was a matter of luck that there was an island in the sky, if not?
Shinra could imagine that all of them would have a free fall and die, falling from a high altitude before the entire island was destroyed, which came from the moment of contact of the heavy island and everything on it with the surface of the sea after it fell.
'What caused this phenomenon?'
Frankly, there were many weird and dangerous phenomena in the world of One Piece, and each of them was so powerful that it made the majority of humans powerless in front of them.
"Moreover, if I am not wrong, this part that was knocked up into the sky was the City of Gold that was told by Mont Blanc Noland."
"Mont Blanc Noland?"
While Carina was confused, Robin and Baby 5 were surprised. "Liar Noland!"
"Huh? Liar Noland? What do you mean?"
Still, Robin looked at Baby 5 and asked, "Are you familiar with Liar Noland, Baby 5?"
"Um." Baby 5 nodded. "I was born in the North Blue and lived there for many years."
Doflamingo's base camp was on the North Blue previously, so more or less, she knew about everything in this area, especially when there was hardly any change in the area.
Still, their focus was on the Liar Noland, a child's fairy tale about one of the biggest liars in the world, which is over four hundred years old.
It was said in the story that Noland told the King that there was an island filled with gold on another part of the sea, but when they arrived on the island, what they saw was only jungle, and it made him a liar in the eyes of others.
While on the story, Noland believed the City of Gold sank into the ocean, but regardless, he had become the epitome of a liar, and all of his descendants were also affected by it.
"So, you think that the City of Gold that was said by the storybook didn't sink into the ocean, but soared into the sky?" Robin asked calmly.
"Yes."
"But... why didn't you visit it back then?"
As they were on the Jaya Island before, Robin thought that they should be able to visit the Skypiea to see the remnants of history and also this legendary City of Gold, but why didn't Shinra do that?"
"Well..." Shinra was a little awkward. "The king, or people on the sky, called him a god, who is quite powerful."
"Quite powerful?" 3x
His words were quite ambiguous, especially when Shinra was strong, but as he had said that this king or god of the sky was quite powerful, it made them curious as to how strong this guy was.
"He is a Logia-type user."
"Logia!" 3x
Without a doubt, as long as one ate the Logia type of Devil Fruit, they would become one of the strongest. After all, it was rare for one to master Haki, and even if one mastered a Haki, they only had a chance to punch a Logia, and even if they could punch them, defeating the Logia user was another level.
More importantly, not everyone was as powerful as Shinra, right?
"But you have defeated many Logia-type users." Carina was speechless. "What are you worried about?"
There were many Logia-type Devil Fruit users who had been defeated by Shinra.
Suna Suna no Mi, Gas Gas no Mi, and lastly, the Hie Hie no Mi.
All of them were defeated easily!
Only—
"Their speed is slow, and I am not as strong as before."
"What kind of a Logia is this person?"
"Goro Goro no Mi." Shinra's eyes were filled with expectation, greed, and hope since he really hoped for the user of the Goro Goro no Mi to still be on Skypiea, especially since Luffy's bounty had already reached 300 million bellies.
He wasn't sure whether Luffy had defeated this target of his, but regardless, Shinra wanted to go to Skypea.
"It's a Logia Devil Fruit that allows the user to manipulate lightning, or become the lightning itself."
"....." 3x
"...I understand why you are not going." Robin sighed, then asked, "Are you confident about this battle?"
"Who do you talk to?" Shinra smiled and said, "Enter the Kamui. I will fly up."
"Okay!" 3x
As the three entered his Kamui space, Shinra released his demon-like wings, before he soared into the sky as he erased his presence, yet even so, the flap of his wings caused a tornado and tsunami in the nearby areas, but fortunately, those who were affected were pirates, but regardless—
Skypiea, here I come!
