Chapter 190: Sky Island Legend
() "I don't know whether Gaya Town is interesting or not, but what many people like is not this town, but the sky above it."
"Sky?"
Capa's statement successfully attracted Luffy's attention. Luffy has this kind of character. He must get involved in interesting things. However, several other people didn't think so. On the contrary, they almost hated him to death.
Kapa, usually everything has to turn into nothing, that is
I'm afraid that Luffy will become interested and start to play tricks. Luffy's ability to cause trouble can be seen from the injuries on their bodies. It was a bitter history of snot and tears. It would be better for you to tell this news specifically now.
He, doesn't it make it clear that he will continue to torment us?
However, Capa seemed to ignore their protests, and then looked at Luffy as if he were kidnapping a child: "To be precise, it's an island in the sky."
"What? There is an island in the sky?"
Not only Luffy, but also several others were shocked at this time. Their first reaction was that Capa was making fun of them, but they all knew Capa's personality well. He wouldn't do such an impossible thing.
He will come up with it, and since he said so, it means that the so-called island in the sky should be real, but does this island really exist? It exists in the sky, which is a bit incredible to everyone's imagination.
"Yes, have you ever heard of a joke in Beihai, about the great talker Wenbra Rolando from 400 years ago?"
Isn't this nonsense? No one here is from Beihai. The whole world is too big, so most people don't talk about the four seas. Even the sea areas where they live may not be able to visit. And this joke only applies to Beihai.
Only people know it, and it is only circulated as a joke. There are many such jokes in other seas. Of course, this consequence also makes everyone present at a loss, and they have no idea about this joke at all.
Seeing their appearance, Capa helplessly began to explain: "400 years ago, the adventurer Umbra Rolando came here and discovered a very rich civilization. He called it the Golden Land, but when
After he left, the island mysteriously disappeared, and when he came with the king of his kingdom, there was just an empty island. As a result, he was ordered to be executed by the angry king, and was
People joke that he is a big talker, and this story has been passed down to this day."
"Oh, Golden Land? There should be a lot of money there, but I don't know how much meat I can buy. So where is that island?"
Sure enough, foodies only have food in their eyes. The first thought that came to Luffy's mind when he heard about the Golden Land was how much meat he could buy. Poor kid, was he so poor in his previous life that he had to work hard to make up for it in this life? Just other things.
Several people ignored Luffy's words.
Instead, they started their own imaginations, but no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't figure out that the empty island should be related to this story. Could it be that the disappeared island was the empty island? But how did it reach the sky? This point
It's really almost killing their brain cells.
"You should have thought of it. Yes, the Golden Land disappeared. It did not sink, but flew into the sky. It is the island in the sky I just mentioned. It is there and has existed in Gaya for the past four hundred years.
over the sky.”
"Then how did it fly up and how does it exist in the sky? Didn't the Golden Land disappear? Why did it appear again?"
Sanji, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but interjected, there were too many questions in Kapa's words, and these were what they wanted to know. Who said men don't have the heart to gossip? All of a sudden
Even Zoro was attracted, and everyone on the ship was waiting for Capa to continue speaking.
"You have too many questions, so I'll explain them one by one. First of all, this is the Grand Line, so there are various supernatural phenomena. One of them is upwelling currents. Since there is too much professional knowledge that needs to be understood, I
I won’t say much more, I’ll just say it briefly.
Well, rising ocean currents are a phenomenon caused by submarine earthquakes. They can lift seawater to a very high height. I don’t know exactly how high it is, but it is certain that it can rise to the clouds. The sky island is
The rising ocean current forcefully pushed it up and finally it flew into the sky."
Luffy was the first to jump out and protest: "Hey, what do you mean by too much expertise? Do you look down on us? I want to know more."
"I don't mean that, but if some people insist on thinking so, I can't help it, and I can't say how much the rising tide is. When the time comes, we can take a look at it on the spot. It must be more vivid than what I said. You can also
I can understand it more clearly.”
"Oh! That's settled then!"
As expected, Luffy was very simple. When Capa said this, Luffy immediately stopped pestering Capa to tell more about rising ocean currents.
"There is also a special kind of cloud here called the Sekikui Cloud. This kind of cloud is also a major attraction here. It is said that Sky Island is located on top of the Sekitei Cloud. However, there should be no Devil Fruit with the ability to fly at low altitudes.
I went to check it out out of curiosity, but he was under 500 meters.
Nothing was found in the sky. This means that the sky island should be on the higher cumulus clouds. Moreover, it is said that mysterious huge humanoid black shadows often appear in the cumulus clouds. They have wings behind them and hold weapons. They are simply like
Like an angel from mythology and legend.”
"What? An angel? He also has wings? It's so interesting, I really want to take a look."
"No problem, there are Ji Emperor Clouds from time to time. As long as we stay a few more days, we will definitely encounter them."
"Really? That's great."
…
Kappa and Luffy got excited talking about various legends about Jikumo and Angels, but a few people next to them were not happy. What they wanted to hear most was the Golden Land. Well, in fact, they also liked the gold there. Look.
Seeing the expressions on several people's faces, Capa was so frightened that he immediately changed the topic.
"In fact, whether the Golden Land exists has always been a mystery. Some people believe it exists, while some people just think it is a big lie by Rolando. However, it was not confirmed that the Golden Land was real until a few years ago.
existence, and since then people have known everything about the Golden Land.”
"Oh, did someone discover it?"
Luffy immediately interrupted, but seeing the unkind looks in his eyes, Luffy wisely closed his mouth and stopped interrupting Capa's words.
"The Golden Bell, mentioned in Rolando's story, is something that exists in the Golden Land. And just a few years ago, the Golden Bell rang, right in the sky in the middle of Gaya. It is said that the bell rang.
It's very beautiful and charming. Since then, every other week, the golden bell will ring, and people
It is also for this reason that we know that the Golden Land really exists in this World Mountain. However, people still have few ways to go to the sky island, because the sky island is said to be thousands or even tens of thousands of meters above the ground. At this height, even flying devil fruits can
Even those with abilities cannot reach it, it is simply too high.”
This time it was Sanji who couldn't help but ask: "Is there no way to get to Sky Island?"
A smile flashed across Capa's lips: "Of course there is. It is said that there is a road that can reach the Sky Island, but the death rate is said to be very high. Not one out of ten people may reach there."
Luffy breathed a sigh of relief obviously, as long as he can go, as for the danger, Luffy automatically filtered it out. Has Luffy ever paid attention to the danger? There is no need for that kind of thing, as long as Zoro and the others understand it, it will be fine.
Luffy, the hands-off shopkeeper, doesn't care about danger or not.
Seeing Luffy's interest, Capa also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really didn't want to go to Sky Island, but there was nothing he could do about it. The Marine Palace's army was in Alabasta.
The distance between them was very close. At this time, Long decisively ordered Capa to take Luffy to the sky island. At least it would have to be delayed for a few months until the battle between the Sea Palace and the Revolutionary Army was over.
It's not too late to come down again.
It seemed that his mission was more than half successful. Even though he had just seen Gaya's shadow, Capa was already relieved. As long as Luffy was interested, Sky Island would definitely go there, and there was no need to do the rest by himself.
