Hidden Cloud Village.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Reg walked forward after knocking Wyper down with a single punch... and met the Chief's gaze.
In the Chief's eyes, Reg saw... curiosity, memories, and a hint of apology.
He couldn't tell whether that apology was for Wyper's recklessness or for Noland...
"What a regrettable missed connection."
The memories in the Chief's eyes stirred something in Reg... He'd been deeply moved when he first read about the friendship between Mont Blanc Noland and the great warrior Kalgara.
Ever since he'd met the Gada brothers and decided to use the surname "Mont Blanc"... Reg had made up his mind: as soon as he returned to the Blue Sea, he'd visit North Blue.
The Mont Blanc Family lived in North Blue... According to Cricket, generation after generation of the family had set out to find the vanished Golden City, but many of them had never returned.
That regret from hundreds of years ago had been passed down to the present... and the Mont Blanc Family had been ridiculed by the world for nearly four hundred years.
Since he'd taken this name, he had to repay the debt... At the very least, he'd help the Mont Blanc Family... clear their name after centuries of injustice and ridicule.
He'd make sure this generation, and every generation to come, could proudly tell people, loud and clear: You ignorant fools, the Golden City exists, and so does Sky Island!!

But this hothead had overcome his body's limitations through sheer, astonishing willpower, enduring tremendous pain
