The Straw Hat Pirates sailed away from Mock Town and arrived on the other side of Jaya, where they encountered Montblanc Cricket, who had just returned from diving. A misunderstanding arose between the two over several golden statues, and they ended up fighting.
In the Cricket fainted due to occupational diseases caused by long-term diving, and the conflict ended there.
Chopper is a very competent doctor. He's usually quite idle, and the people on the ship are as strong as oxen and rarely get sick. But now that he sees a patient, he immediately starts treating Cricket's illness without saying a word.
When Cricket woke up, the two became friends because of Chopper's kindness. They chatted, ate meat and drank wine, talked about the past and their dreams, and finally talked about Sky Island, a topic that both of them were very interested in because they both believed that Sky Island existed!
To confirm their suspicions and to help their new friend Luffy complete his journey, Cricket and his two henchmen, along with all the members of the Saruyama Alliance, set out to convert the Going Merry into a flying ship.
However, they were injured by Bellamy and his crew who came looking for trouble. Luffy missed the battle because they went into the forest to catch South Bird. When they returned with the bird, they found a bunch of wounded people lying on the ground. Bellamy and his crew had already left with the gold.
Seeing the wounded lying all over the ground, Luffy was completely enraged. He could no longer hold back and had a reason to take action. After receiving the departure time, he rushed towards Mock Town, while Cricket and the others dragged their injured bodies to continue modifying the Going Merry.
Bellamy and his crew had already returned to Mock Town, drinking and eating meat in the tavern and spouting nonsense, mocking the Straw Hat Boy and the Pirate Hunter, until one of the henchmen who went out to relieve himself saw the latest wanted poster delivered by a seagull!
The henchman saw that the bounty posters for the Straw Hat Boy and the Pirate Hunter were among them, one for 100 million Beli and the other for 60 million Beli. The henchman's drunkenness was instantly sobered up, and he was completely numb!
In the eyes of the pirates in Mock Town who judged strength solely by bounty, the Straw Hat Boy and the Pirate Hunter were clearly stronger than their leader, Bellamy.
After returning to the tavern, the henchman told them about the bounty, because he was scared. The others who heard the news were stunned, and when they came to their senses, they were already somewhat frightened, even deceiving themselves into thinking that the bounty was fake.
They couldn't afford to deceive themselves or pretend to be calm. They soon encountered the Straw Hat Boy, the protagonist on the wanted poster, and a battle was inevitable. After all, they had attacked the boy's friend, and friends are taboo!
The Straw Hat Boy completely dominated their leader Bellamy, showing them just how valuable a 100 million Beli bounty on a pirate was!
Meanwhile, Blackbeard's eyes lit up when he saw Straw Hat Luffy's new bounty poster. After escaping the Whitebeard Pirates, he had gathered a group of crew members and was preparing to begin his plan to dominate the entire Grand Line.
The first step of the plan is to capture a pirate of decent stature as a pledge of allegiance to Crocodile and replace him as Shichibukai, a position that has been revoked.
That's right, Blackbeard had his eye on Straw Hat Luffy, but he only saw the Blackbeard poster the next day. By the time he gathered his men to capture him, the Straw Hat Pirates had already set sail.
But how could Blackbeard give up on his goal so easily? He infiltrated the Whitebeard Pirates for over twenty years to wait for the Dark-Dark Fruit; such a ruthless man wouldn't give up so easily!
Blackbeard led his men straight out to sea, determined to capture Straw Hat Boy. Just as he was about to catch up, a massive, Knock Up Stream carried the Straw Hat Boy and his pirate ship into the sky, even scattering their own makeshift pirate vessel!
Looking at the black dot in the sky, Blackbeard had no choice but to temporarily abandon this target. He knew that the Straw Hat Pirates had gone to Sky Island, but they wouldn't stay Sky Island forever. They would eventually come down, and that would be his chance to strike again!
Actually, a lot happened between Luffy and his crew's departure from Ruluka Island to Jaya, and then being carried to Knock Up Stream by the Sky Island Current, but it didn't really take that long.
After sailing for two days, they arrived at the waters near Jaya. After docking at Jaya, they spent only one night there before riding the Knock Up Stream to Sky Island.
Excluding the time spent at sea, Luffy and his crew arrived at Jaya the day before and went to Sky Island early the next morning. Their efficiency was that high, which meant that Rebecca didn't have time to keep an eye on them!
At this moment, Rebecca was on her way to Jaya. She had information about the Straw Hat Pirates, but she wasn't as fast as Vic. So, before she could even make contact with the Straw Hat Pirates Straw Hat Pirates, they had already slipped out of her sight.
In a short time, Rebecca could no longer get any information from the Straw Hat Pirates. By the time she arrived at Jaya, the Straw Hat Pirates had already lost contact.
The loss of contact most likely meant something terrible was going to happen. She knew the Straw Hat Pirates's strength, and the probability of something going wrong on the Grand Line was very high. Rebecca was also very nervous. Vic had finally entrusted her with a task, and it seemed like she had messed it up before she even got around to it!
Rebecca desperately wanted to contact Vic to ask what to do next, but she couldn't reach Vic no matter what she tried, which made her anxious. However, Vic, who was still in seclusion and breaking through his cultivation, and Rebecca, who had already Luffy to the heavens, couldn't care less about her thoughts.
After the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Sky Island, the story unfolded much like in the original manga, except that because Vic ate Rumble-Rumble Fruit beforehand, Enel, the final boss of Sky Island, was no longer possible!
Instead, the four priests, the four trial priests with the Mantra under Enel's command in the original work, arrived on Angel Island from another Sky Island without Enel's leadership. They drove the original god of Angel Island, Gan Fall, out of the Sanctuary and usurped his place.
Gan Fall was getting old. He could barely hold his own against one priest, but he couldn't Headliners four of them together, so he had no choice but to wander alone and become Sky Knight.
However, without Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability and the support of his Mantra, the four priests' control over Angel Island was not so airtight, and the residents of Angel Island and the villagers of Hidden Cloud Village were relatively much freer.
However, Wyper and the others have not given up on reclaiming the land lost by their ancestors. After the arrival of the four priests, they have been secretly plotting for a long time, and now they only need an opportunity. Therefore, Angel Island seems to be relatively peaceful on the surface!
But the Straw Hat Pirates are born Sacred Body; wherever they are, trouble is bound to follow. Soon, they clashed with the Four Gods.
With Wyper and others seizing the opportunity to join the fray, the Four Priests were quickly defeated. Even with the bug-like Enel in the original story, they still lost. Now that Enel is gone, how could they possibly win by risking their lives? So, the fate of the Four Priests is self-evident.
Then the Straw Hat Pirates clashed with Wyper and his crew who had also come to Upper Yard. Luffy and his crew thought that Wyper and his crew were also looking for gold, while Wyper and his crew thought that the Straw Hat Boy were like those priests, coming to claim territory and become kings. A battle between the two sides was about to break out!
However, because Aisa, the little girl who arrived in Upper Yard early and encountered the Straw Hat Pirates, acted as a buffer, the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved, and the battle did not actually break out.
They became friends after a fight, as there was no conflict of interest between them. Luffy and his crew were after the gold in Upper Yard, while Wyper and his crew were after the land of Upper Yard.
Luffy and his crew will leave Sky Island once they find the gold, while Wyper and the others only care about the land and don't care about the gold at all!
