Everyone was startled by what they heard.
Nami immediately came over to Robin and said, somewhat angrily, "The Marine Admiral who kept you wandering from place to place? If he's here, we'll have Liu Qing beat him up later to vent your anger."
"Yeah-we've been training for so long, we'd like to test an Admiral's strength too. Right, Luffy?" Fighting spirit rose in Zoro's eyes.
"Ah, yeah. But whether he's here or not, let's go ashore and see what's going on before we decide." Standing at the bow, Luffy raised his arms and shouted, his voice ringing across the sea, "Get ready to drop anchor! We're going ashore for an adventure!"
As his words fell, the crew quickly sprang into action, dropping anchor and securing the ship. Then Luffy led the way, leaping like an arrow from a bow and landing firmly on the frozen island.
"Whoa!" The moment Luffy landed on the island, the sight before him caught his attention. Feeling the mirror-smooth ice beneath his feet, he couldn't help shouting excitedly, "Ahaha! The ice here is so smooth! It's practically a natural skating rink! Let's go skating!"
Beside him, Sanji said with some regret, "Too bad we don't have ice skates."
"Don't worry, just ask me!" Liu Qing stepped forward with a grin, clapped his hands together, and used Wood Release. A great quantity of wood suddenly emerged around him, rapidly transforming under his control into pairs of finely crafted ice skates in the blink of an eye.
"Here, everyone, try them on. Just slip them over your shoes." Liu Qing handed out the skates he had made.
For himself, he made a special board. It could be used by one person or accommodate two people skiing together.
"Woohoo! I want a turn!"
"Me too! Me too!"
