Lin Mo took a special look at the flags of these Pirate ships, and found that he recognized none of them.

Lin Mo did not dock Small Wooden Boat on the shore of Mock Town, but bypassed Mock Town and came to the rear peninsula of Jaya Island.

Compared with the bustling Mock Town located in the front half of the island, the back peninsula part seems much more depressed. On the coast, there is only one building facing the sea with a large board painted with the shape of Castle erected. In fact, only half of the houses are left inside.

This is the place where a man with a chestnut head named Wen Blan Cricket lives.

And Lin Mo brought the boat here just to find him.

Because this person is one of the few who knows how to get to Sky Island.

In the future, Cricket also helped Luffy and the others successfully board Sky Island.

Parked the boat on the coast, Lin Mo just jumped to the shore.

A shirtless man happened to come out of that half of the room.

The iconic chestnut-orange chestnut head made Lin Mo recognize him at a glance. This was the person he was looking for.

"Uh? Kid, what are you doing here?" Cricket was obviously stunned when he saw Lin Mo.

Lin Mo came directly in front of him and said expressionlessly, "I want to go to Sky Island."

"Sky Island?" Cricket's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he laughed, "Hahaha, do you really believe that there is Sky Island?"

Lin Mo said calmly, "Believe it."

Cricket stopped laughing, stared at Lin Mo, couldn't help but take out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. "I don't know if Sky Island exists, but there is one person who always believes in the existence of Sky Island, but that person has become a legendary liar, and future generations will never be able to hold their heads up."

As he spoke, Cricket suddenly noticed a Small Boat boat parked on the shore. "Kid, is that boat yours?"

Lin Mo nodded lightly.

Cricket continued, "It seems that your home should be nearby. This sea is full of dangers. You are not just a brat who can go wherever you want. I don't know where you knew about the existence of Sky Island. If you don't want to die, just go home early. In the end, wanting to go to Sky Island is just a sudden whim of your brain."

Lin Mo:"..."

This guy talks a lot of nonsense...

Lin Mo said speechlessly, "You just need to tell me the location and location of Knock Up Stream next time."

Although he has determined the location of Sky Island he is going to, it is impossible for Knock Up Stream to appear just under that piece of Sky Island. Now, he only needs to determine the direction and location of the next Knock Up Stream to appear. The remaining problem of the ship is easy to say.

Cricket stared blankly at Lin Mo, never expecting that this kid actually knew Knock Up Stream.

However, after thinking about it, I still couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, are you serious? Even if you know where Knock Up Stream will appear next, so what? You are not going to use this Small Wooden Boat to catch Knock Up Stream, right? It's not that I look down on your boat, but your boat will fall apart as soon as it is lifted up by Knock Up Stream, and you will fall into the sea with it. If you are lucky and the height of the fall into the sea is not too high, you might be able to save your life."

"I have my own solution for the ship's problem." Lin Mo said calmly, "Whether it's life or death is also my own business. You just need to tell me what you know."

Cricket originally wanted to mock Lin Mo, but when he saw the calm eyes of the other party, he was silent for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the first time I have seen a brat like you, so listen carefully. In some sea areas, very strange natural phenomena sometimes occur. It is obviously daytime, but it is suddenly shrouded in darkness. As for the phenomenon of suddenly turning into night, simply put, it is because of the accumulation of thick clouds and black shadows, which is the so-called Island Clouds.

It is formed at high altitude. No matter how thick it is, it will not produce airflow, nor will it fall as rain. Therefore, once Island Clouds is shrouded in the sky, the clouds will be so thick that even sunlight cannot penetrate, and even the brightest day will turn into night. So, I guess, if If Sky Island really exists, the only possibility is there. In short, you'd better find out where this strange phenomenon of day turning into night has occurred, and then I can judge the location and outbreak time of the next Knock Up Stream based on the location of the area where this strange phenomenon occurs."

Chapter 93 Jaya Island: The so-called secret of City of Gold

In short, in order to predict the time and location of the next appearance of Knock Up Stream, you must first know where Island Clouds appeared in the sea area near Jaya Island.

And the best place to get information is in a tavern.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo turned back to his Small Boat.

Cricket saw that he seemed to be leaving, and couldn't help but ask, "Kid, are you leaving? Are you going home or asking for news?"

Lin Mo said lightly, "The latter."

Cricket was stunned. "I just said this, do you really believe me without even having any doubts?"

"Hmm."

Lin Mo said nothing more and sailed directly around Jaya Island. He was going to Mock Town.

Cricket watched Lin Mo leave with mixed feelings in his heart.

It can be said that for as long as I can remember, no one except members of my own family has believed in him, just because he is a descendant of the great liar Noland.

He told Lin Mo before that there was a person who always believed in the existence of Sky Island, and that was his ancestor Wenbulan Noland.

Noland was the expedition admiral and botanist of North Blue Lvneel Kingdom four hundred years ago. Because of an accidental experience, Noland was rescued by Jaya Island He saved the Shandia clan who were invaded by "Tree Fever" and ended the traditional ritual of human sacrifice. He also became good friends at first sight with the then "Great Warrior" Calgara.

Although Noland saved Shandia, he was misunderstood by the tribe as sinners who violated tradition and belief because he cut down all Shandia's "sacred trees" in the process. After Calgara issued an expulsion order to drive them away, they learned the reason why they cut down the trees and were unable to see off Noland in time.

Later, in Sea Circle Calendar 1127, Noland was ordered by the king to return to Jaya Island to search for gold.

However, at this time, Gaya Island was already shot up into the sky by Knock Up Stream. Noland committed the crime of deceiving the emperor because he could not find City of Gold and was sentenced to death. He was also dubbed "Liar", which is the big liar.

Before Noland died, he speculated that City of Gold sank to the bottom of the sea due to plate movement and said his last words that future generations have never been able to understand: I saw gold in the right eye of the skull, but no one wanted to listen to him anymore.

The skull here refers to the original shape of Jaya Island.

Since then, the great liar Noland has become a well-known fairy tale of North Blue. The protagonist Noland is a fool and liar who often lies. Even until he was executed, he still insisted on the "lie" that the Golden Land really existed, but in fact he was more honest than anyone else.

It is because of the story of Noland that Cricket had a very miserable childhood. Anyone who knows that he is the descendant of Noland, especially North Blue, will laugh at and look down on him, even if he is still a child.

Although when he grew up, Cricket went overseas and formed a Pirate group, but in the end, his Crew Members still left him.

Therefore, for so many years, he has stayed here alone, constantly diving, in order to find the City of Gold that Noland said sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Even he himself does not completely believe it, but in order to confirm the existence of City of Gold and break the 'curse' of the Wenbulan family, Cricket is willing to risk his life to fight against fate.

He was even prepared not to be favored or trusted by anyone, and prepared to fight alone for the rest of his life.

But now, the kid who is going to Sky Island doesn't even say a word of nonsense, so you believe him?

Although Cricket also thought that maybe Lin Mo was still young, too naive, and too easy to trust others, but when he looked at Lin Mo just now, he gave up his previous thoughts.

He knew that Lin Mo was serious and did not mean any joke.

Moreover, although he didn't know much about swords, among the two swords Lin Mo carried, the real sword gave him an inexplicable eerie feeling.

It is definitely not easy for a child to be able to control such a sword.

Lin Mo took Small Wooden Boat and sailed around Jaya Island for nearly half an hour, returning to the large board in front of Mock Town on the sea and connected to the wooden shore of Jaya Island.

Mock Town is built on this large piece of wood.

After parking the boat, Lin Mo jumped onto the wooden board and walked indifferently towards Mock Town.

People who come to Mock Town are basically Pirate.

Therefore, there are no rules at all here. Even if someone fights in the street or even kills someone, it is considered normal here.

As we walked forward, the appearance of Lin Mo attracted the attention of many Pirate people who were wandering around Mock Town.

"Look, who did I see? A little kid actually dares to come to a Town that is full of Pirate. He is really brave, hahaha."

"Hey, kid, which Pirate group are you from? I don't believe you, a kid, dare to come here alone."

"Maybe he encountered Shipwreck floating over. Hahaha, look, he also has two swords. Maybe he is a very powerful Swordsman."

"Swordsman? Just him? I can press him to the ground and rub him with just one finger."

"Yo yo yo, you are so awesome. Then you should do something. Let me show you how you pressed that kid to the ground with one finger and rubbed it."

"Huh! He's just a kid. Do you really think I don't dare? Watch it!"

The man who spoke took a sip from the wine bottle in his hand, and then smashed the half-empty bottle to the ground with a bang. With a wicked smile on his lips, he walked towards Lin Mo with fists in his hands.

"Kid, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, maybe I can spare your life." The man said with a wicked smile.

The Pirate people watching the show all around were holding back their laughter and waiting for the show.

Lin Mo was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued walking forward.

"Hey kid, are you deaf? Or are you pretending not to hear me?" The man who said he wanted to beat Lin Mo quickened his pace and directly hit Lin Mo on the head.

The moment his hand took the shot, Lin Mo dodged and easily avoided his attack.

"Uh?" The man was stunned.

The Pirates around laughed.

"Is that okay? You, you can't even handle a brat, hahaha. I think what you just said were all big words, hahaha..."

"Look, people are ignoring you. It's obvious that they look down on you, hahaha..."

"Jerry, if you can't do it, just step back and let me teach you how to kill people, haha."

"Shut up, all of you!" the man named Jerry said angrily, "He's just a brat. Do you really think I can't kill him? Just watch him!"

As he spoke, Jerry immediately pulled out the machete hanging on his waist and slashed at Lin Mo without hesitation.

No matter how he slashed, he couldn't hit Lin Mo, as if the opponent had eyes on his back.

"Asshole, I don't believe it anymore, go to hell!" Jerry was so angry that he took out a grenade from his pocket, pulled the ring, and was about to throw it at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo looked back at him, and a strong sense of oppression instantly surged towards Jerry.

Jerry couldn't help but froze in place, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't move.

Lin Mo looked away and continued walking forward.

Before I walked a few steps, I heard a loud bang.

Jerry held a grenade and exploded on the spot...

Chapter 94 Jaya Island: Anger from Red Nose Clown

"Huh? What's going on? Jerry Why don't you throw the grenade?"

"Is he crazy? If he wants to commit suicide, why can't he go somewhere far away to commit suicide? He has to be here, and it will affect us, cough cough cough..."

"No, he was obviously going to be thrown out just now, but when the kid looked back at him, his expression looked like he had seen a ghost."

"How is this possible! How old is that kid? Can he scare this guy Jerry so much with just one look?"

The people affected by the explosion discussed in disgrace.

Lin Mo ignored the voice behind him. When he was about to arrive at the tavern, a long-haired man riding a tall horse, wearing a brown and black fur coat and a black hat, suddenly fell off the horse in front of him.

Seeing this person's attire, Lin Mo recognized the other person's identity.

It's Doc Q, the future Blackbeard Pirates's Ship Doctor, who has the nickname Bleach, and is a very vicious person.

As for why this guy came to this place now, Lin Mo doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know the reason.

Doc Q looked haggard and said weakly, "I'm sorry, can you help me up?"

Lin Mo glanced at him speechlessly and walked past him.

Doc Q took out a basket of red Apple from nowhere, and when Lin Mo was about to get around him, he continued, "These Apple should be regarded as a thank you gift. I am naturally weak and sick, please help me, thank you."

Lin Mo still had the same attitude as before, ignoring the pretentious person and went directly into the tavern next to him.

"What an inhumane brat." Doc Q said with a sullen face.

As soon as he finished speaking, wherever he looked, he noticed that not far away, there were a few more people who had obviously just come from other places, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

The pub Lin Mo entered is a two-in-one bar and restaurant.

When I came to the bar and sat down, he didn't say anything yet.

Although Tavern Owner was surprised, seeing that Lin Mo was still a child, he poured a glass of Orange Juice with ice and put it in front of him.

Lin Mo:"..."

"Kid, you came here with the boat, right? This Town is very messy. It's best not to run around alone." Tavern Owner said with a smile, "Consider this cup of Orange Juice as a gift from me. After drinking it, leave quickly."

Lin Mo stared at the glass of Orange Juice speechlessly, drank it in one go, then took out a handful of Beli and said, "Here is a glass of wine."

"Huh?" Tavern Owner said in surprise, "Can you drink?"

Lin Mo responded with an indifferent 'hmm'.

Tavern Owner accepted the money in embarrassment and immediately brought a glass of wine to Lin Mo. After watching Lin Mo finish the wine as if he was drinking water, he couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, the people who come here are not that simple. They are obviously at an age when they should be carefree and playful, but yet they are so calm and drinking the wine that adults drink. It seems that you have experienced a lot, kid."

Lin Mo said speechlessly, "One more drink."

Tavern Owner smiled and nodded, "Okay, wait a moment."

When Tavern Owner brought the second glass of wine to Lin Mo, Great Explosion suddenly sounded twice outside the door.

"Ah, I wonder who is fighting again." Tavern Owner picked up a cup and started to wipe it.

The guests who were dining and drinking in the tavern continued to eat and drink happily, as if they didn't hear the explosion.
