Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Robin, she's so scary!"

On the Merry, Chopper held Nami's calf, revealing most of his body, and secretly glanced at Robin with his little eyes.

"Robin,"

Nami didn't bother to study the abnormality of the record pointer at this time, and said with some trembling:

"What are you doing?"

At this time, on the deck.

Robin was holding the skull of a dead person that Luffy found from the wreckage of the ship and observing it attentively.

From time to time, you have to pick up a piece of broken bone and piece it together.

This scene was somewhat scary in the eyes of Nami and Chopper.

Of course, not everyone feels this way.

"The combination of a dead man and a beautiful woman is quite interesting~Robin-san~"

On the side, Sanji squatted next to Robin, his eyes turned into the shape of hearts.

Bai Ye’s eyelids twitched when he saw this scene.

When it comes to licking, you’re the best at it, Sanji.

"Did you find anything?"

Ignoring Sanji's eye-catching performance, Zoro asked Robin.

At this moment, Robin also let out a long sigh, looked at the skull he had pieced together in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's been repaired."

Then, Robin pointed to a hole in the skull and said to everyone:

"This hole seems to be man-made."

"Hmm? Was this guy stabbed in the head and died?"

Sanji asked after regaining his senses.

Robin shook his head and continued:

"No, this is a surgical scar, it seems to be called..."

Robin paused, as if recalling something.

At this moment, a small voice sounded:

"【Head Piercing Technique】."

Robin turned her head and saw that it was Chopper who had walked up to her and said:

“It’s the surgical method people use to treat brain tumors.”

When it comes to his professional field, Chopper is obviously much more stable.

"But this is medical technology from a long time ago."

Chopper looked up at Robin and asked in confusion.

"That's right,"

Robin touched Chopper, acknowledging his statement, and continued:

"That's because this guy has been dead for 200 years."

Robin held up the skull and showed everyone the teeth in the mouth:

“Also, his teeth were more completely preserved than other bones, so it can be inferred that they were coated with tar.”

"And this is the custom in the South China Sea area."

As Robin spoke, he took out a book from somewhere and started looking through it:

"According to the time, this ship should be an exploration ship or something like that."

"found it!"

"The Kingdom of Bliss, located in the South China Sea, once built a ship called the Saint Bliss."

Robin pointed to a photo of a ship on the page and said:

"This ship and the wreckage that fell are the same."

"And the departure time of the Saint Brice is..."

Robin raised his head, looked at everyone and spoke slowly:

"208 years ago!"

Everyone remained silent for a long time, as if they were digesting this shocking fact.

Usopp swallowed and said:

"So this ship has been drifting in the air for more than 200 years?"

Nami also sighed at this time:

"You can tell so much just from the skull. You are truly an archaeologist, Robin."

Hearing this, Robin just smiled and continued:

"Since this ship fell from the sky, we can at least conclude that they once sailed to the Sky Island."

"So, if we can find the ship's logbook or crew diary or something like that, we can get more information."

When Zoro heard this, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the sea.

Then, he saw the wreckage that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, and Luffy who was frantically calling for help on the sea surface. . .

"Idiot!!!"

Zoro jumped down and swam towards Luffy.

A moment later

Luffy was beaten up by the angry Zoro: I'm so sorry~

Of course, although Luffy's actions were erratic, he did gain a lot this time.

That is a -

Map of Sky Island!

Everyone looked at the map that Luffy had rescued and couldn't help but marvel at it.

Now, almost everyone believed in the existence of Sky Island.

Except Nami.

"Maybe it's fake? There are fake maps these days."

Unlike others, Nami, as a navigator, has a lot of knowledge about navigation.

So when she encounters something that goes against her common sense, she will subconsciously refute it.

On the contrary, it is for this reason that other people can accept this fact more quickly.

It’s like someone who has learned about the nine planets since childhood, suddenly one day hears someone say there are eight planets.

The first reaction is to refute.

But sometimes, knowledge, or common sense, is not correct.

"On the Grand Line, the first principle is to never doubt the record pointer, Miss Nami."

Robin, who had been wandering on the sea for many years, said:

"If you want to doubt, you can only doubt the so-called common sense in your own mind."

"This is a qualified navigator."

After hearing Robin's words, Nami faced up to her common sense for the first time and believed in the existence of Sky Island.

"It's just a map. The information is still too little."

At this point, Sanji changed the subject and said:

"The next thing to do is to go down to the sea and salvage the information from the wreckage."

At this moment, Bai Ye's voice suddenly sounded:

"No need. Let professionals do the salvage work."

When they heard Bai Ye's voice, everyone realized belatedly that there was suddenly someone beside him.

No, it should be said that there is an extra ape-like person.

It was none other than the captain of the Ape Pirate Ship, the "Salvage King" Ape, whose bounty was 2300 million berries.

"Who is this guy!!!"

Everyone complained.

"I am the captain of the Ape Pirate Ship, Ape!"

The ape posed and said:

"I heard from you that you want to salvage the sunken ship."

The ape changed his pose and continued:

"Then leave it to my team. We are professionals."

Everyone looked at the ape who was posing every time he spoke, and looked at Bai Ye with complicated eyes.

Where did you find this idiot?

Bai Ye was also very upset and decided to cut the Gordian knot and explain things clearly.

It turned out that when Zoro jumped into the sea to catch Luffy, Byakuya discovered the ape's pirate ship.

So I went on board and chatted with them for a few minutes. I learned that they were a professional salvage team, and I brought the captain over.

...

"You guys, are actually going to Sky Island?!!"

Hearing Luffy's words, the ape's expression was very surprised.

"Yeah," Luffy nodded seriously and said:

"We're going to Sky Island."

For some reason, when he saw Luffy's determined eyes, the ape actually had a sense of déjà vu.

This temperament, as if no one can change his mind, is exactly the same as that of his eldest brother.

The next thing was very simple. The ape readily handed over the Eternal Pointer of Gaya Island and told Luffy and others that his eldest brother was there and he might know some clues.

Therefore, after confirming that there was no valuable information in the wreckage of the shipwreck, everyone changed their route again and prepared to head to Gaya Island.

On the way, everyone also encountered some interesting things.

For example, a medium-sized sea turtle that looked like a sea turtle chased the Merry for a long time after being punched by Luffy.

For this reason, everyone even encountered rare weather such as Jidi Clouds.

We also encountered a human figure that appeared in the sky, almost towering over the earth.

In the end, the turtle was scared away by the figure, and the Straw Hat Pirates were still frightened.

"Perhaps, it could be someone from Sky Island."

Bai Ye leaned on the edge of the boat and spoke.

"What?!!"

Everyone exclaimed.

"The people on Sky Island are actually that big!!!"

Compared to the surprise of others, Luffy was more excited:

"How interesting! They are a race larger than Uncle Dongli and his group?"

"That's probably not what Bai Ye meant."

At the side, Robin, the only one who was not frightened, spoke up.

She turned to look at the smiling Bai Ye and spoke based on her own knowledge:

"Is it refraction? Because it's closer to the sky, when the strong sunlight refracts the shadow of a person into the thick fog, it looks like a huge giant."

After the words fell, Robin also raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Bai Ye:

"This seems to be a legend that is not widely spread, Deputy Captain~"

Looking at Robin's half-smile, Bai Ye's mouth twitched slightly:

Ever since this woman came on board, the joy of showing off in front of everyone seemed to have disappeared.

I, the deputy captain Bai Ye, have written this grudge down in my little notebook!!!

The following voyage once again fell into boredom.

-

"Hey, Green Algae Head, haven't you seen the island yet?"

After Sanji served drinks to Robin and Nami, he shouted angrily at Zoro on the observation deck.

"Huh? Are you questioning me, you perverted cook?"

Zoro put down the telescope in his hand and responded rudely:

"I've told you many times, but you haven't seen it yet. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."

As they were talking, the two started arguing again.

Others were not surprised by this.

At this moment, three seagulls suddenly fell from the deck of the Merry.

Seeing this, Chopper rushed forward to check and gave a diagnosis.

Of course, Luffy personally would rather roast the seagull and eat it.

"They...were hit by bullets?!!"

After a simple diagnosis and treatment, Chopper looked at the bullet he had taken out, a little dazed.

Hearing Chopper's words, Usopp became interested. He looked at the endless sea around him, stroking his chin and said:

"I didn't hear any gunshots, and judging from the direction, they should have been fired from directly opposite us."

Usopp finally turned his head to look in the direction of the Merry's heading and muttered to himself:

"It looks like there's a pretty scary sniper there."

At the same time, on top of a house on the west coast of Gaya Island, a man was holding up his gorgeous sniper rifle - [Qianlu].

The man was wearing a strangely shaped hat and a single-sided glass similar to a sniper scope on his right eye. He had a slender face and was wearing a black cloak. He had the temperament of an elegant gangster.

It was none other than [Otokoshi] Van Oka, one of the members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

At this moment, he was looking at the direction he had just aimed at and muttering to himself:

"It must have been painful, that one alone didn't hit the vital spot."

"But that is also the choice of fate!"

At this very moment, the Straw Hat Pirates, who are destined to become lifelong enemies, have come into contact with the Blackbeard Pirates.
