[OP] The Story of Ming Shi

The ship was destroyed, and Usopp was most distressed.Everyone knows that this ship is a precious ship given by a girl in Usopp's hometown... because Usopp has said this several times on the ship.

Sora didn't go to help Usopp repair the ship this time, because Luffy had already volunteered to help.But it's not so much helping as it is destroying... But none of this seems to have anything to do with Sora staring at the sea in a daze.

Crystal saw Sola staying there alone, so she walked over and stood beside him. After standing for a while, she was surprised to find that Sola didn't push her away impatiently or walked away by himself, which was different from usual. The status does not match, it is an abnormal state.Kristal took a closer look, and the young man beside her stared straight ahead. There was no trace of impurity in the blue eyes, as bright as glass beads... Perhaps, Sola didn't realize her existence at all. Tom thought.

"Hello." Crystal yelled to get Sola's attention.

Only when Sola noticed that there was another person beside him, he immediately took two steps back, his delicate brows slightly frowned.Sola said: "Why are you here again this time, you already told me not to pester me all the time!"

"I don't." Christo smirked, "I came on board because of you, what would I do if I didn't pester you?"

"You can pester Sanji-san, he will be very happy." Sora said blankly.

"...you know that's not what I meant."

"Then you also know that I will not give you the dagger."

"But this is just your current thought, and it may change at any time." Christo nodded, "I will take my time... Take it easy, I won't steal the dagger and run away, at least not Now... because I am very interested in your next destination! Sky Island..."

Sola reflexively shielded the dagger—this woman really needs to be on guard!

Christo smiled. She is now wearing a western-style knee-length dress, which is exquisite but convenient. This dress makes her more pure and lovely—of course, this is not the case in Sola’s eyes. This woman is always changing. An impermanent strange creature...

But looking at Christo's smiling face, Sola lost his temper, and he continued to lean on the railing with his chin in his hand.But Sola didn't have the heart to continue to be in a daze, but Christo didn't make a sound, which made Sola feel that the atmosphere became very delicate.So he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Christo, who was two arms away from him, and said in a muffled voice, "Tell me, you've heard of Sky Island... Robin said that Sky Island was lifted up by the sea. ...What is the sea in the sky like, have you heard of it?"

"Well... look, there are clouds in the sky." Christo looked at the sky, "Kurami is white, like clouds."

"Eh—" Sora sighed, "You really know a lot."

"Hehe, I still know more. How about exchanging the next information with a dagger?"

"……Stop it!"

Soon, everyone came to the residence of Wembran Guligu marked on the map.In front of them was a huge castle.Of course, this is only on the surface... When the boat drove forward, they realized that it was just a paper wall, and the real house was only a small one...

Everyone went ashore and looked around, but they didn't see anyone, so they probably went out.Several people found a book on the table of a large wooden pile.

"Rolando, the big talker." Nami read out the title of the book.

As soon as Sanji heard the topic, he said that he knew the story.Sola heard Nami start to read the story, and also felt a little impressed. This is a well-known story in Beihai.The story is about a big talker... Sora looked at Usopp frequently, and now it seems that this story seems to be a true portrayal of Usopp...

"Fables, teach people not to lie." Christo walked to Sora's side, "Why don't you listen attentively? This is very educational!"

"Whatever, I've heard it before!" Sola retorted, but even so, Sora had heard this story when he was very young, and he didn't remember the specific content of the story clearly.What left the deepest impression on him was the big chestnut on Rolando's head...

"Eh? Are you from Beihai too? That's right...you are also blond, and there are many people in Beihai who are blond." Crystal deduced.

"No, I'm not. It's just that I went to that place when I was a child."

"Ah? Then... where are you from?" Crystal asked.

"...I don't know, my father and I have traveled all over the world since I was a child, and my hometown...is the sea for me." Sola turned his head, "For me, the sea has a greater sense of belonging than the land. "

"Oh... just now you said that you and your father were running around the world? Why?"

"Looking for something... no, to be precise, it's a place."

"Looking for something... I said, your father is probably a pirate, and he is looking for ONEPIECE?" Kristo guessed.

"That's not it!" Sora retorted immediately.

"Could it be that you are looking for your mother?" Christo said jokingly again.

Sora glared at her and walked away immediately.

What are you doing, that guy... The conversation just now made Sora feel very uncomfortable.He saw Luffy squatting on the shore, and walked over: "Captain, it's easy for you to fall like this."

"Well, Sora, come and see, there are bubbles coming out here." Luffy greeted.

Sola also squatted down on the shore, and when he took a closer look, the sea was really bubbling and bubbling, as if something was about to float up.Sora stared intently at the surface of the sea, could it be a fish?It looks rather small...

The next moment a chestnut appeared on the surface of the sea. This was something neither Sola nor Luffy expected. Both of them were confused. Why is it a chestnut?Just when the two were in a daze, a pair of big hands stretched out from the sea, grabbed Luffy and Sora respectively, and dragged them into the sea at once!

Sola didn't react for a while, and drank several sips of water.Then he realized later that the chestnut actually grew on the head of a vicious uncle!Nima, this is too deceptive!Sora cursed in his heart, grabbed Lu Fei who was still sinking and swam to the surface of the sea.

When Sola pulled Lu Fei ashore, Sanji had already started fighting with the chestnut-headed uncle. The chestnut-headed uncle took out his gun, but the bullet missed even a single shot. Dodging flexibly, it looks like he is juggling...

Zhuo Luo also drew out his knife and was about to step forward to help, but unexpectedly the uncle fell down suddenly, his expression was ugly.

Chopper immediately stepped forward to check the uncle's body, and he ordered everyone to carry the uncle into the house and open the windows for ventilation.

"It's diving sickness." Chopper came to a conclusion. "Diving sickness can be fatal if it becomes serious. This person must not wait for the bubbles in his body to disappear before diving again."

Sola didn't suffer from diving sickness. He visited the room and found that there were photos of Uncle Chestnut Head and the two strange people they met before... It turns out that they are acquaintances, and they have a close relationship in the photos. quite intimate.

At this time those two people appeared, they understood that everyone was helping their boss, and they were so moved that they burst into tears, and then they got along with everyone regardless of previous suspicions.

Uncle Chestnut Head is the man named Wenbran Gullig who was kicked out of that town for talking about his dreams.Uncle Gu Ligu woke up, and Luffy started talking to him.When the uncle learned that everyone wanted to go to Sky Island, he laughed.

"Do you believe in empty islands?"

"Isn't there?" Sora asked back.

Uncle Guligu laughed again, and he began to tell stories about himself—about the reason why he kept diving here to find gold, and about Rolando outside the story.

Speaking of Sky Island, Uncle Guligu took out an old sailing diary.

"At least it won't be Rolando himself!" Nami looked very excited, she took the voyage diary and read it, "... During the day, I bought a rare item from the cargo ship I met. A one-person boat like a ski called 'Veba'..."

Everyone became interested, and Sora hurried over to have a look.

Nami continued to read: "On days when there is no wind, the incredible ship that automatically generates wind and sails seems to need a certain secret, and I can't control it well."

Sora looked at it at a glance, the wonderful material that only Sky Island has?An explorer friend once showed me a live empty fish?As a crew member, I also want to go to Kukai to see... Kukai!Sola couldn't help herself with excitement, and the others were about the same...

"Sure enough, Sky Island exists!"

"Great!"

Afterwards, the uncle said that he had something to say to everyone, and called everyone outside.The uncle said that he would tell everyone everything he knew about Sky Island, but these are completely unproven, so it’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not.

"Yes, I believe." Luffy nodded immediately.

Usopp: "That's too fast!"

Uncle Guligu continued: "In the nearby sea area, there is a part of the sea that is clearly in the daytime, but night will suddenly appear."

Luffy and Usopp hurriedly stated that they had seen it, and then mentioned the huge monster that suddenly appeared.

"I thought it was the end of the world, Ragnarok is coming... Uncle, what is that?" Christo asked.

"There are many stories about that giant, so we won't mention it here." The uncle ended the topic lightly.But Christo was not reconciled: "Hey, tell me what that is!"

"This has nothing to do with how to get to Sky Island... just listen to me quietly!"

Next, the uncle talked about the formation of the night-the cumulus cloud. If Sky Island exists, it can only exist on the cumulus cloud.

But the most important problem has not been solved, how to go to the sky?

The uncle gave the answer - take the uprush current.

Then the uncle explained the principle of the upward current and said that the upward current would occur five times a month.But whether it can really go up is still a question.

"Sky Island will appear in the sky above the ocean current that only appears five times a month!" Usopp's voice was already trembling.

"That's right, it's very disadvantageous to go up... If the boat doesn't land on anything, but falls directly back to the sea surface... everyone will turn into seaweed!" Uncle Guligu said.

"But isn't there a sea in the sky? It stands to reason that if you reach the Kukai, there will be no problem..." Sora was puzzled.

"That... Sora." Nami pressed Sora's shoulder, "It's like there are continents between the oceans on the ground, right? Imagine if there are faults on the land and oceans... Not everywhere can be sailed! Without Where there is water, you cannot sail!"

Sora thought for a while, then nodded in a ignorant manner.

Uncle said that the day after the phenomenon of turning day into night on Masra's territory, Cumulus clouds will appear in the southern sky... According to the cycle of five times a month, the rising current will also appear tomorrow, and at the same time south.In other words, the probability of them successfully flying into the sky tomorrow is very high.How could such a good opportunity be missed!In the end, everyone decided to strengthen the hull and prepare for the empty sea.

Next came the dinner party. There were twelve people sitting in a small room, which seemed a bit crowded.Seeing everyone making noise, Sora felt happy, but the space was too small.Sola always curled up when the big Masla brothers danced, which made him unable to eat properly.

There was no way, Sola grabbed two grilled fish and slipped out while everyone was not paying attention.

The author has something to say:

I've always thought the chestnuts on that uncle's head were amazing...

Don't you think so?
