Teach and the others had been flying through the sky for three whole days!
Laugh Tale lay in an uncharted stretch of the New World. By all rights, someone should have landed on it over the years. But everyone had overlooked one thing!
Laugh Tale was always moving!
Like Zou, Laugh Tale drifted from its previous position every day, wandering the sea like a restless ghost. Stranger still, the four islands used to pinpoint it were moving too! Their movements were slight, but real. Even that tiny shift meant Laugh Tale's marked position was different from the day before. Trying to find it by sheer luck was like buying a lottery ticket and winning a hundred million on the first try!

"Captain! Captain! I can see an island below!" Van Augur, who was on lookout, suddenly shouted. His sharp eyes had picked out a small island on the sea, and excitement left him almost dizzy!
According to their charts, there were no islands in this vast stretch of sea. Which meant the island below could very well be Laugh Tale, the final island!
"Hahahaha! Really? Looks like we've arrived!" Teach and the others rushed over. Sure enough, a small island came into view. Its shape was peculiar—almost unnaturally round!
"What are we waiting for? Get us down there! Golden Lion, hurry!" Teach slapped Golden Lion, who was studying Laugh Tale, so hard he nearly sent him flying. But Golden Lion was in too good a mood to argue. He quickly brought his own island down while everyone waited for the historic moment!
At last, Golden Lion's island descended onto the sea
