The Straw Hat Pirates Advance

The former Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The present Land of Water.

Built atop the entire Red Line, it was also the massive landmass surrounding the whole Grand Line.

It had once belonged to the World Government, but now it belonged entirely to the Land of Water.

And there was no real difference in the authority held by either.

Both ruled the world.

And to get up there, anyone without the ability to fly or teleport through space could only take the elevator.

The Thousand Sunny was docked beneath the Red Line.

"Wow, it's so high. How are we supposed to get up there?"

Usopp craned his head up at the towering cliffs that pierced the clouds. Climbing up was impossible, wasn't it?

Luffy looked up at the endless Red Line.

It was not that he absolutely had to come pick a fight with Madara Uchiha, but Madara Uchiha had driven Ace away and blocked their path toward the stars.

Besides, the Pirate King's ultimate treasure was said to be in Madara Uchiha's hands as well.

There was no reason for him not to come looking for Madara Uchiha.

"Do you need my help?" Kinoki looked up at the towering mountain.

If he helped them, he could easily bring the ship up there.

But would they accept that?

"Then we'll be counting on you." Luffy instantly prostrated himself before Kinoki.

Kinoki: "???"

Where was this guy's dignity as captain?

Wasn't he supposed to have strong pride?

How could a future Pirate King kneel so easily?

Seeing the others' unsurprised expressions, Kinoki helplessly covered his forehead.

"Fine."

It was not difficult anyway.

Kinoki raised both hands. Two enormous red hands appeared beneath the Thousand Sunny, lifting the entire ship and slowly carrying it higher and higher into the sky.

"We're flying!!"
