"The clouds turned into a ribbon? It's like a river!"
The Going Merry was racing up the cloud stairway leading to the Heavenly Holy Land, carried by an Express Shrimp native to the Sky Sea!
"No matter how I look at it, this doesn't seem natural."
Usopp stared in amazement at the ribbon of clouds beneath the ship.
"Of course it isn't natural!"
Sanji was also looking beneath the ship as he shouted.
"Hey! Look, everyone! There seems to be writing up ahead!"
Vivi pointed toward the end of the cloud stairway. Everyone looked over and saw the words written there.
"It's the exit!"
Nami cried out.
But after reading the words above, she realized she was wrong.
"God's Kingdom, Heavenly Holy Land!"
"It's not an exit! It's an entrance!"
"Aaaah!"
While they were still puzzling over it, the Express Shrimp beneath them suddenly accelerated and flung the Going Merry straight up!
"Look! An island!"
"It's Sky Island!"
The land that greeted their eyes seemed like something that could only exist in a dream. Buildings and bridges made of white clouds stood everywhere, while the white shores blended perfectly into the white Sky Sea. Clouds drifting all around lent the country the air of a fairy-tale kingdom.
"Wow! This place is so beautiful!"
Before Vivi could finish marveling at it, Luffy and the others had already steered the ship toward shore. Everyone wore delighted smiles, though Barn's brow was slightly furrowed.
The feeling keeps getting stronger. It looks like it's here-the opportunity for my second Awakening.
"Yeah! Sky Island!"
"The ground here is made of soft, fluffy clouds."
Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp had already jumped off the ship and reached shore, exclaiming in delight.
"Hey, Luffy! Where am I supposed to drop the anchor? There's no seabed here!"
Zoro remained
