Oh no, we've been exposed!
Xia Chen was flustered. He had gotten carried away and revealed too much.
After a long pause, still unable to come up with a solution, he chuckled and said, " Nami, you're so clever!"
"Indeed, it was only after I came here that I felt like there were suddenly some things in my mind! Things I didn't have before!"
Everyone:...
If you're going to lie, at least make it believable!
However, in the end, no one said anything. The five people who had just been beaten didn't dare to speak, Nami didn't want to say anything. She didn't want to say too much about Xia Chen, otherwise he might think she was too irritable!
But she still had to remind Xia Chen.
"Now that you've remembered, don't hold back any information you have later!"
"Of course not! If I remember, I'll tell you everything I know!" Xia Chen patted his chest and assured him.
Then Xia Chen pointed to the old man and said, "For example, this old man's name is Gan Fall, he is the former god of Sky Island!"
"Gods??"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show curiosity, while Gan Fall's expression changed drastically, staring at Xia Chen in disbelief.
Who are you? How do you know who I am?
" Roger, do you still remember him?" Xia Chen asked.
Roger??
Everyone looked curious again, Luffy asked directly, "Did the Pirate King Roger also come to Sky Island?"
"Yes! That's right!" Xia Chen nodded.
But Gan Fall still asked with doubt, " Roger was indeed a very good pirate friend I met more than twenty years ago, but even if he told you about me, how did you recognize me?"
"Doesn't Sky Island have Vision Dial? You old fool!" Xia Chen said calmly.
"Oh, I see! Hahaha... I was so foolish!" Gan Fall said with a smile. After learning that Roger had told Xia Chen about his identity, Gan Fall's wariness of Xia Chen and the others decreased considerably.
"So, what does Old Deng mean by that?"
"Oh, so he's the man who reached his peak in his old age!"
Xia Chen answered with a serious expression, which drew strange looks from everyone around him.
"Ahaha... I see, you flatter me! The vocabulary of Blue Sea People is truly profound!"
"However, you're wrong about one thing. I'm not Old Deng. I was middle-aged when I became a god, so according to you, I should be Middle Deng!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's curious gazes immediately shifted from Xia Chen to Gan Fall.
In Gan Fall's view, these people must admire him as a middleman.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it; he's just that outstanding!
Xia Chen couldn't suppress his smile as he nodded and said, "Yes! Yes!"
--
"Hahaha... Kid, your nostril dance is really funny!" Gan Fall said, laughing as he looked at Luffy.
In less than fifteen minutes, he had become one of the people on the boat.
"Hahaha..."
"By the way, Mr. Gan Fall, I see my Log Pose is still pointing upwards. Could it be that Sky Island isn't here?" Nami asked, walking over in confusion.
"Yes! This is seven thousand meters above the ground, in what's called the White Sea. The Sky Island you're looking for, which we call Angel Island, isn't here, but rather in the White-White Sea, ten thousand meters above the ground!"
"Ten thousand meters? How are we going to get up there?"
Gan Fall stood up, looked around, and then pointed to a spot, saying to the group, "See that waterfall-shaped cloud? You can go up to the White-White Sea from there! But you have to pay a toll!"
"We have to pay a toll?" Nami jumped up upon hearing this.
"Yes! One billion Extol per person!"
"One billion?" Nami became even more agitated upon hearing this number, shouting, "Impossible!"
Although she didn't know what "Extol" meant, that didn't stop her from knowing that a billion was an outrageous number!
" Nami, calm down! The exchange rate between Extol and Beli is 10,000 to 1, which means 1 billion Extol are only worth 100,000 Beli!"
"100,000 Beli?" Nami's reaction to this was much calmer, without the resistance she had shown before, but she was still somewhat reluctant.
If the toll for one person is 100,000, then for eight people here it would be 800,000! 800,000 can buy a lot of things!
"It's only 800,000 Beli, I'll pay!" Xia Chen said with a wave of his hand.
"If we don't pay this fee, we'll be treated as illegal immigrants, which will ruin our experience of visiting the Sky Island. It's not worth it."
"My idea is that we spend some time playing on the Sky Island first, and then go to Upper Yard to claim the City of Gold that Noland mentioned."
"That's a lot of gold~ a lot of gold~" Xia Chen drawled.
"Okay! Let's do it!" Nami shouted excitedly, her eyes turning into the shape of Beli.
(⊙o⊙)...
" City of Gold!!!"
Everyone shouted excitedly in unison.
" Xia Chen, do you mean the City of Gold is here?" Luffy asked excitedly.
"Yes! In my recovered memories, it is definitely here!"
Everyone: Hey, hey, hey, don't overdo it!
Xia Chen continued, "It's located in what the Sky Island inhabitants call the Holy Land Upper Yard. Also, I have another piece of news for you!"
" The Holy Land Upper Yard is actually the Jaya Island!"
"Hundreds of years ago, Knock Up Stream surged, sweeping half of Jaya Island into the sky, which then formed the Holy Land Upper Yard!"
"!!!"
Everyone was stunned by this series of news, and the room fell silent for a moment.
It was Gan Fall who spoke first.
"You said the holy land is an island in the Blue Sea?"
"Otherwise what? Do any of your Sky Island islands have landmasses?"
"It is precisely because of its special nature that you call it a holy site, and even value its soil so highly, giving it the name 'Vearth '!"
"How do you even know this?" Gan Fall was genuinely shocked.
The young man before him knew everything about Sky Island, even more than the god himself!
At the very least, he didn't know the origins of the Holy Land Upper Yard!
At this moment, Xia Chen seemed shrouded in a mist, making him difficult to see clearly!
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his expression turned melancholy.
"You said you're going to the Holy Land?"
"That's right, we're going to find gold!" Luffy shouted.
"I advise you not to go! Although it's called a holy place, it's also a forbidden area!"
"This is a forbidden area where no one may enter. If discovered..."
"They will face God's Judgment!"
