"Sky Island?"
"An island in the sky?"
Usopp and Luffy looked utterly confused. They turned to stare at each other for a moment...
"Let's go! To the sky!"
"Spirits, hurry up and turn the helm upward!"
"Shut up, idiots!" Nami yelled at them in exasperation. "How are we supposed to get to a place like that?!"
"Come on, think of something, Nami."
"Like I can just think of something like that! We can't get there!"
Though she said that, Nami knew that Luffy had already made up his mind to go to Sky Island.
When the captain had no destination in mind, she could chart a course. But once Luffy had set his sights on somewhere, not even nine hundred oxen could drag him away. After thinking it over, she could only say helplessly:
"Why don't we dive down and salvage the ship first? Maybe we'll find some clues, Lina."
"Yeah, got it."
While they were talking, the enormous sailing ship that had fallen from the sky sank completely beneath the sea.
Lina summoned all her fish-man undead, and they plunged into the water with a series of glugs. Dozens of dark shapes quickly swam toward the sunken ship.
"Besides that, I know there's a group of people on Jaya Island who might know how to get to Sky Island."
Sitting down beside Nami, Lina continued. Nami hadn't believed in Sky Island before, so Lina hadn't had a chance to explain. Now seemed like a good time to tell them:
"It's a long story, but have you heard of the big liar—Montblanc Norland?"
"Huh? You've heard of him too, Lina?"
"Me too. I've heard of him."
Sanji and Usopp spoke up.
Lina lit a cigarette and began to tell the story. "Yeah. It's a tale from four hundred years ago.
