The feast on the Sky Island lasted for three days and three nights. Above the pure white Island Cloud, bonfires illuminated the joyful faces of the Sky Island inhabitants and the Straw Hat Pirates. Houses shaped like angel berets dotted the landscape, and the air was filled with the aroma of roasted Sky Fish and special pumpkin pie.
Luffy unsurprisingly became the focus of the banquet. He was holding a huge grilled Sky Fish in one hand and " Water Water Meat," a specialty of Sky Island, in the other. His cheeks were bulging, and he kept shouting, "Another serving!"
Sanji was surrounded by the girls of Sky Island. He flitted among them like a butterfly, serving the ladies carefully prepared desserts and drinks, eliciting gasps of amazement and laughter from time to time.
Usopp once again launched into his "bragging mode," recounting to the Sky Island children sitting around him their "heroic deeds" of battling a "giant vine monster" for three hundred rounds in the Emerald Dream. The children listened with sparkling eyes.
Chopper, meanwhile, was exchanging medical knowledge with the doctors on Sky Island and sharing the strange life phenomena he had observed in the Emerald Dream. The little reindeer's face was full of excitement at learning new things.
Zoro found a quiet corner, picked up his sake jug, poured himself a drink, and occasionally clinked glasses with Jinbe and Ace, enjoying the tranquility after the great battle.
Franky showed his " Sky Drive Mode " design to the craftsmen of the Sky Island, and the two sides had a heated technical discussion on the application of Wind Dial and Impact Dial.
Brook sat on a marble rock, playing a light and cheerful tune. His music intertwined with the soft ringing of the Sky Island's unique Tone Dial, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Robin and Kulike sat a little further apart, talking in hushed tones. Robin was fascinated by the history of Sky Island and the legend of the Emerald Dream, while Kulike was captivated by the vastness of the Blue Sea and the Straw Hat Pirates's adventures.
Allen and Ace stood side by side at the edge of the banquet, watching the lively scene before them. Ace patted Allen on the back forcefully, firelight flickering in his eyes. "Well done, bro! You've saved a world this time!"
Allen smiled, sensing the subtle connection between the World Seed within him, the Sky Island, and even the Emerald Dream, and said softly, "It's just making up for the trouble we caused ourselves. But being able to help feels good."
The banquet eventually came to an end. As the morning sun once again bathed the sea of clouds, the Straw Hat Pirates knew it was time to say goodbye.
The residents of Sky Island gathered at the port, bidding a reluctant farewell to their hero. The elders handed Nami a package filled with Sky Island specialties, while Kulike solemnly presented Robin with a Tone Dial engraved with the Azure Sky Knight's emblem as a keepsake.
"Come visit again sometime, Luffy!" Makino (a female resident of Sky Island, with the same name as the Makino of Foosha Village, but a different person) shouted, waving her handkerchief.
"Of course!" Luffy stood at the bow of the Thousand Sunny, waving his arms vigorously. "The meat and pumpkin pie from Sky Island are the best!"
Amidst the blessings and farewells of the Sky Island's inhabitants, the Thousand Sunny slowly ascended into the air, its glider in Sky Drive Mode unfolding, and sailed towards the Blue Sea along the calm cloud currents.
Passing through the White Sea and breaking through the clouds, the vast blue ocean once again came into view. The familiar turbulence came, and the Thousand Sunny landed steadily on the sea.
"Where to next?" Nami spread out the sea chart and looked at Luffy.
Luffy adjusted his straw Straw Hat, his face radiating an inextinguishable passion for adventure, and loudly announced:
"Let's go! To the next island! Our adventure continues!"
On the azure Sea Route, the Thousand Sunny) raises its sails, carrying dreams and bonds, sailing towards the unknown distance.
