Garp's Face Would've Turned Green

Galette looked at Xi Yan in surprise too. She had never heard that he could fly.

As for the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates?

Xi Yan had already told them he could fly, so they weren't surprised. They just didn't know how he did it.

Under normal circumstances, as Luffy and Ace's brother, Sabo should
