Guided by the power of the "Knowledge Keeper," Sig entered the dream replay as he wished.
Upon "waking" from the dream, Sig's first reaction was—as expected, "Bilca" has a significant historical event!
However, Sig then discovered that he wasn't in Bilca, but at sea...
If it weren't for the many winged people around him, Sig would have thought he was dreaming of something else.
Moreover, the group of winged people clearly hadn't just landed; they were gathered around a deep, dark "sinkhole," performing some kind of ceremony.
Sig walked among these winged people as if he were invisible.
Meanwhile, among the sea of winged people, Sig easily noticed a pattern...
Although wings are decorations, different wings and outfits clearly represent different statuses.
At this moment, countless winged people surrounded the sinkhole in circles. On the outermost circle, on the high platform, were winged people wearing robes. What they had in common was that their wings were very large, like the wings of real birds, with bends and protruding joints between the ulna and metacarpal bones— the Bilca people that Sig had seen before all had this kind of wings!
Some of the higher-ranking individuals among them wore metal helmets with intricate patterns...
Before them stood winged figures carrying weapons such as spears, acting as guards. These figures wore animal-headed leather hats, and the wings on their backs appeared somewhat perfunctory, not only small but also lacking any discernible skeletal structure, seemingly serving only a symbolic purpose.
Around the sinkhole, those busy dumping things were people wearing headdresses with tentacles on their heads, and their wings, like those of the animal-headed leather hat-wearers, were small.
Just as Sig was about to go down to see what was inside the "sinkhole," he saw the little winged people working in front of him all backing away.
At the same time, the earth trembled violently...
With that movement, Sig immediately realized that what he was standing on was not an island, but a gigantic creature!
Unfortunately, Sig was unable to reconstruct the creature's full appearance at this point, and he couldn't fly higher to see what the place was really like.
Accompanied by a melodious whale call, the sinkhole slightly contracted, and then a huge torrent of water suddenly gushed out from it!
The water column shot straight into the sky, and only much later did "raindrops" begin to fall, and it was "rain first, then overcast"...
The thin clouds that had initially only slightly blocked the light gradually became thicker and more concentrated.
When the "rain" finally stopped falling, the sky seemed to be covered, completely dark.
On land... no, at sea, on the back of this creature, with its wings, people had already lit torches and cheered!
Sig had also come to understand why his time travel this time did not begin with the Sky Island "Bilca".
Sig originally thought he would see the Moon person descend, but what he saw instead was a scene resembling Moon person creating the Sky Island — the White Sea that has now formed in the sky should be the location of "Bilca".
Therefore, Sig, who slept in Bilca, was able to travel back to this place...
In current explanations of Accumulating Emperor Cloud, people tend to favor the hypothesis that "volcanic eruptions carried Seastone Factor into the sky, transforming ordinary clouds into Accumulating Emperor Cloud, which in turn created Sky Island."
However, it now appears that what erupted was not a volcano, but rather the breathing pore of some giant marine creature.
Sig estimated it might be a whale-shaped Sea King... but given the biodiversity of the One Piece world, it could be some other strange and unusual Sea King.
Judging from its vent, which resembles a sizable volcano, it's likely much larger than the others in the Calm Belt...
Furthermore, the Sky Island person, who are suspected to Moon person, clearly contributed significantly to the formation of the White Sea and intentionally guided this outcome; it could even be said that they created the Sky Island!
If nothing unexpected happens, this Sky Island, named "Bilca"—the same name as the lunar city—should also be the first Sky Island they created.
The dream journey ends here, and the corresponding major historical event is the "creation" of the first Sky Island.
After repeatedly triggering dream replays, the progress of the "Knowledge Keeper" role has now far surpassed others.
If all goes as planned and more major event locations are visited later, this should be the first Sequence that Sig completes.
Upon waking, Sig recalled the details of his dream and memorized them completely.
Just then, a commotion arose outside, sounding like an argument.
"Angel!" A male voice, filled with anger and disappointment, shouted Angel's name.
"It is His Angel," Angel corrected coldly.
"I've already heard from Granny Joe at the cemetery that you took a strange man from the Blue Sea to pay respects to your parents yesterday, right? And even... she said something about him being your husband?" the man's voice asked, sounding serious.
"That's right, but what does that have to do with you? And... so Granny Joe in the cemetery not only eavesdrops on everyone's prayers, but also informs the people of 'Axedevo'? I can't pretend I don't know about this. I will question the elders about this at the trial conference next month." Angel turned the tables on him.
Hearing Angel's words, the man panicked slightly and quickly denied it, saying, "No, that's not it. It was just that Granny Joe overheard it by chance, and I happened to hear it too... You'd better not make things up without evidence!"
"Wade! Stop strutting around here! Even if 'Axedevo' has two elders, soon... we 'Mutel' will have elders too!" Enel glared angrily at Wade, aiming at him with a "Spearman's Thrust" stance.
"Mutel? Ha, your only chance is if your sister and I are together, and then..."
Before Wade could finish speaking, a Fish-Man stepped out— Wade immediately glared at him, after all, Fish-Man were extremely rare on Sky Island, and he obviously couldn't mistake him.
As soon as Sig came out, he went to Angel's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Angel, why are you up so early? And you didn't even wake me up..."
Wade, Enel:!!!
Enel no longer knew which way to aim his Spearman's Thrust...
Wade angrily retorted, "Very well, very well! Mutel's trial this year... Heh heh."
He gave a cold laugh after saying that, and then left with his men.
Sig was also somewhat surprised. After he put his arm around Angel, the female Warrior seemed to have no reaction, but the turmoil in her heart was more intense than he had imagined.
She had accepted her husband's character so "smoothly" before?
After a brief analysis of her emotions, Sig understood that Angel had likely been thinking a lot about "marital matters" over the past three days, so his slight physical contact had stirred up her emotions...
