Usopp also expressed concern. "Yeah, besides, this town doesn't look good. It's not impossible, it's definitely impossible."
Before Nami said anything, Lin Mo suddenly jumped off Going Merry.
Seeing this, Nami immediately said happily, "By the way, Lin Mo, if you go to the town too, help me keep an eye on them and don't let them get into trouble."
Lin Mo directly rejected Nami's request. "I want to go to the back of the island, not all the way with them."
"Huh?" Nami asked in surprise, "What are you doing behind the island?"
Lin Mo didn't say anything more and walked away directly.
Nami said with a headache, "Really, neither of them makes people worry..."
Usopp said helplessly, "At least Lin Mo looks more reliable than those two guys, so just leave him alone."
"That's right." Nami stood up helplessly, "Forget it, I'll go."
After saying that, she jumped off the boat and immediately chased the two guys who made her very worried. "Wait for me, Luffy, Zoro~"
After Lin Mo and Luffy separated, they walked towards the direction of the half of the hut where Cricket lived.
Not long after, he saw Rayleigh who was chatting and drinking with Cricket outside the house, and two pieces of Poneglyph placed next to the hut.
Sensing Lin Mo's aura, Rayleigh turned to look at him, picked up the wine bottle in his hand, and said with a half-smile, "Hey, you're here, let's have a drink together?"
Lin Mo walked towards him calmly, picked up Endless Wine Flask and touched the bottle with him. Then he walked up to the two pieces of Poneglyph while drinking. He raised his hand and touched it. With a 'swish', one of the pieces of Poneglyph he touched disappeared.
Cricket was originally very calm, but his eyes suddenly widened and he asked in disbelief, "What's going on? Where is that stone?"
Rayleigh continued drinking without being surprised.
Lin Mo now collects another piece of Poneglyph into System Space.
Immediately afterwards, the long-lost System Notification Sound rang.
'Didi! The current Poneglyph collection progress is 11/30.'
"Mr. Rayleigh." Cricket asked immediately, "Do you know what's going on?"
Rayleigh said with a half-smile, "The more we know, the more dangerous it will be for you. It's better to say less."
After Lin Mo put Poneglyph away, he came to the big tree stump table where Rayleigh and Cricket were sitting around and sat down.
Rayleigh pointed at a ship leaning on the shore not far away and continued, "I heard from them that this ship was built a month ago and is waiting for us to come back and continue trying to go to the sky. Cricket's injuries are almost healed. You come back at the right time. There will be Knock Up Stream tomorrow, so we can give it another try."
"No need for that ship." Lin Mo said lightly.
Rayleigh asked curiously, "What? Do you have a suitable boat available?"
Lin Mo nodded lightly and asked again, "South Bird have you caught it?"
Cricket nodded. "I caught one a long time ago, and I've been keeping it... If we don't use this boat, where is the suitable boat you think is?"
"Wait."
After finishing speaking, Lin Mo continued to drink.
Cricket looked at Rayleigh confused.
Rayleigh smiled and shrugged, saying that he didn't know what the situation was.
The three of them stayed here for nearly two hours, and then Going Merry appeared.
"Here we come." Lin Mo said calmly.
Cricket looked at Going Merry who had stopped on the shore, and asked with deep suspicion, "Is that the ship you are talking about? Are you sure that ship can withstand the impact of Knock Up Stream?"
Rayleigh stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Since Lin Mo said so, then there must be no problem."
Cricket still doesn't believe it. "It's not that I don't believe Lin Mo, but that ship is full of patches. If it is hit by Knock Up Stream, it will fall apart..."
At this time, Luffy was the first to jump off Going Merry.
Cricket's house only has half of it, and the other half has been washed away by Sky Island. Therefore, he has always used a piece of wood with a very luxurious and exquisite Castle-like painting to block the other side of the house. People who come in front of it, who don't know it, think that there is really a beautiful Castle built on this shore.
Luffy thinks so.
When he came ashore and saw that it was actually a wooden plank, he was quite disappointed. "What... it turned out to be a wooden plank..."
Soon, he found Lin Mo who was drinking with Rayleigh and Cricket, and immediately ran over and said, "Lin Mo, you are really here, huh? What are you eating?"
Cricket saw Luffy eyeing the two plates of snacks placed on the tree stump, so he replied, "These are the snacks I copied myself. You can try them if you want to eat them."
Then, Luffy picked up the two plates and ate all the snacks on the plates in one bite.
"Huh?" Cricket's eyes almost popped out of his head, "It's so fast... don't you even chew the food?"
Luffy licked the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile, "Are there any more?"
Cricket's mouth twitched slightly. "You ate them all..."
"Oh." Luffy looked around, focused on Cricket's home, and went directly to open the door.
"Hey, that's my home." Cricket immediately jumped up from the wooden bench and rushed towards Luffy.
"Hahaha." Rayleigh laughed, "What a dynamic young man. However, this boy's Straw Hat looks familiar to me."
Lin Mo said lightly, "Red-Hair gave it to me."
"Oh?" Rayleigh said thoughtfully, "I see, I understand."
"Ah, Lin Mo~" Chopper trotted towards Lin Mo with its own sound effects.
Nami and others followed closely.
"What's going on with this house?" Zoro asked strangely.
Nami asked with gleaming eyes, "I heard that there is a lot of gold buried here. Is it true?"
"Gold, I didn't see it." Rayleigh said with a smile.
Usopp whispered, "Even if you know, you won't tell others easily..."
"Huh? There is a book here." Robin suddenly found a picture book on the ground and immediately picked it up, "Liar Noland, it looks like a book from a long time ago."
Usopp said with a smile, "The title of this book is well chosen, it should be very interesting."
Hearing this, Sanji asked again, "Is it Liar Noland?"
Nami came close to Robin, looked at the cover of the book, then looked at Sanji and asked, "Have you read Sanji? This book was published by North Blue."
Sanji replied calmly, "Well, I was born in North Blue. Didn't I tell you?"
Usopp said curiously, "The first time I heard you say it, I always thought you were from East Blue."
Sanji continued, "This book is very famous in North Blue. Although it is a fairy tale, the protagonist Noland really exists."
After that, Sanji gave you a brief introduction to the general content of this book.
Chapter 886 Jaya Island: Hyena Bellamy
This is a story from more than four hundred years ago.
In a certain country in North Blue, there is a man named Montblanc Noland.
Noland is an explorer. Every time he tells his adventure stories, they are thrilling and exaggerated, but the villagers don't know whether what he tells is true or false. Once, after Noland returned from a trip, he immediately went to the palace to report something to the king. He said that he saw mountains of gold on an island in Grand Line.
In order to confirm that what Noland said was true or false, the heroic king immediately led two thousand soldiers to sail to Grand Line, overcoming storms and fighting various monsters on the way. In the end, only the king, Noland and the remaining one hundred soldiers arrived at the Golden Island.
They originally thought they would see mountains of gold, but what they saw was a jungle with nothing. Noland was eventually sentenced to death by the king for deceiving the king.
Noland said this before his death. I know, those mountains of gold have sunk into the sea!
However, no matter what he said, the king and others had long since ignored him, and no one believed Noland's words anymore. Noland was still making up stories to deceive the world until his death, so everyone called him the big liar Noland.
At this point, the story ends.
This is a fairy tale that almost all North Blue people know.
After Sanji finished roughly telling this story, Nami sighed, then turned to look at Usopp: "It's so pitiful that he didn't become a brave sea warrior in the end."
Usopp was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted, "Hey, don't look at me! Don't add such a tone casually!"
After Cricket took Luffy by his back collar and threw him out of his house, he saw Luffy's companions coming over. He was still very suspicious and asked, "Lin Mo, are you sure you really want to use these guys' boat? With the condition of their boat, let alone the sky, it will fall apart if there are a few bigger waves."
Lin Mo said disapprovingly, "Just use Going Merry."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Usopp asked nervously, "What are you going to do to Going Merry?"
Rayleigh smiled and said, "We are going to take your boat to Sky Island."
"Really?" Luffy asked excitedly.
Cricket looked at Lin Mo and finally asked, "Are you sure?"
Lin Mo nodded lightly.
Helpless, Cricket had no choice but to compromise. "Okay, but their ship must be modified."
As soon as I finished speaking, the two good friends from the Pirate group from Cricket arrived promptly on their Pirate boat.
When the two Pirate Captain who looked very much like Masira saw Luffy and the others, they immediately became vigilant and almost started a fight with Luffy and the others.
But after learning from Cricket and Rayleigh that Luffy were friends and not enemies, their attitude immediately changed 360 degrees.
Although I was surprised to have to use the now scarred Going Merry to ride Knock Up Stream.
But they still decided to trust the judgment of Cricket and Lin Mo, and volunteered to help Luffy and them slightly modify and repair Going Merry.
Afterwards, Cricket told Nami and the others the principles of taking Knock Up Stream to Sky Island, especially the degree of danger. After hearing this, Usopp began to persuade Luffy to give up without even thinking about it.
But Luffy was still smiling and looking forward to it, and still decided to go.
Nami asked worriedly, "If it's so dangerous, has anyone ever succeeded?"
"If it was before, I wasn't sure." Cricket said firmly, "Now, I am sure that someone has succeeded."
"Really?" Nami and others asked happily, "Who is it?"
Cricket pointed at Lin Mo who was still drinking with Rayleigh.
Usopp said dumbfounded, "You said Lin Mo, he said his ship can fly and flew directly to Sky Island. What we are asking is, is there any example of anyone using Knock Up Stream to successfully reach Sky Island?"
Cricket said seriously, "I know, but when that kid came here for the first time, the boat he took couldn't fly."
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed and once again looked at Lin Mo in unison.
Lin Mo said disapprovingly, "Well, I succeeded."
"Really? Really?" Luffy jumped to Lin Mo extremely excitedly, "Isn't it fun to be rushed into the sky by the incredible Ocean Current?"
Lin Mo glanced at him and nodded lightly. "It's fun."
"Yeah!" Luffy was even more excited now, "I want to take the incredible Ocean Current to Sky Island!"
"Hey, Luffy, calm down." Usopp said still worried, "Even if you want to go, Ocean Current can't show up anytime and anywhere, and we can't stay on this island forever."
Cricket continued, "There will be a Knock Up Stream at noon tomorrow."
"What?" Usopp's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Zoro patted his shoulder. "Give up the struggle, Luffy has decided to go to Sky Island, Lin Mo also said that he has succeeded, and no one can stop Luffy."
Usopp said dejectedly, "But Going Merry is already scarred. If he gets hurt again, Going Merry will be destroyed."
"Don't worry, your ship will be reinforced and refitted tonight." Cricket said confidently.
Usopp had no choice but to say, "Then I'll leave it to you, uncle."
That night, a group of people happily ate and drank in Cricket's cabin.
While everyone was in high spirits, Nami asked with a smile, "Uncle, does City of Gold really exist?"
Cricket looked at Nami and replied, "This question you should ask now is Lin Mo."
"Huh?" Nami was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Cricket said with a smile, "I used to think that City of Gold would be at the bottom of the sea, so since ten years ago, I have been diving into the sea day after day and year after year to search. Until a few years ago, Lin Mo came here and successfully passed Knock Up Stream After went to Sky Island, and after he came back, it wasn't until he came back here a few months ago and told me that City of Gold was rushed to Sky Island, that I realized that the direction I had been looking for all these years was actually wrong."
"What?" Nami was shocked, "City of Gold... in Sky Island?"
"Really?" Chopper blinked and looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded lightly.
