Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 417 What One Piece? I need to go to Impel Down first.
Above the clouds of the Sky Island, the temple square has been transformed into a grand banquet venue.

The bonfire blazed brightly, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air, and the island's inhabitants sang and danced, their faces beaming with long-lost smiles.

After Enel was defeated, the gloom that had shrouded Sky Island finally dissipated, and the tolling of the Golden Bell echoed in the clouds, heralding the arrival of a new era.

"cheers!"

Nami raised her glass, her cheeks slightly flushed from the alcohol, and looked at Fang Yu with a grin: "Hey, Captain, now that Enel has been dealt with and the gold has been found, where should we go next?"

Fang Yu sat by the campfire, toying with an apple in his hand, tiny arcs of electricity occasionally flashing between his fingertips. He looked up at Nami, a slight smile playing on his lips: "What, in such a hurry to divide the treasure?"

"No, that's not it!" Nami pouted. "I'm just curious about your plan!"

Brooke took an elegant sip of his black tea and chuckled, "Hey ho ho ho, the captain must have his own plans, right?"

Perona floated in mid-air, holding an umbrella, and lazily yawned: "Just avoid going to any boring places."

Robin sat to the side, her fingertips gently tracing the rubbing of the Poneglyphs, her gaze thoughtful as she looked at Fang Yu: "Speaking of which, it seems the captain had anticipated the existence of Skypiea, and even knew about the stories of Golden Bell and Noland. Your source of information is truly intriguing."

Fang Yu shrugged, not answering directly, but tossing the apple in his hand up and catching it again, saying calmly, "Everyone has their own secrets."

Vivi hugged Carrot and asked softly, "Captain, what is your dream?"

"Dream?" Fang Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled. "To live."

"Huh?" Nami's eyes widened. "This is so perfunctory! Shouldn't a pirate's dream be to become the Pirate King or find ONE PIECE?"

Fang Yu shook his head, his gaze calm: "To live is the greatest dream."

There was a moment of silence among the crowd, as if they sensed a heavy meaning in those words.

Robin spoke softly, "What about short-term goals?"

Fang Yu put the apple down and said calmly, "Go back to Impel Down."

"Imperial Castle?!" Nami nearly jumped up. "Isn't that where the Navy holds serious criminals? What are you doing there?!"

"To save lives," Fang Yu replied simply.

"Who should we save?" Robin pressed.

Fang Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "A benefactor."

Everyone looked at each other, clearly not expecting Fang Yu to give such an answer.

Brooke put down his teacup and said seriously, "If it's the captain's benefactor, then of course we should go."

Perona floated to Fang Yu's side, tilted her head, and asked, "Impatiens is known as an impregnable fortress, a place where even the Golden Lion has a hard time getting out. Are you sure you can succeed? Impatiens now is not the same as it used to be! Luck doesn't always last!"

A sudden arc of electricity crackled at Fang Yu's fingertips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "I am not the same person I was before."

Robin stared at Fang Yu and suddenly smiled: "It seems our captain still has many stories to tell."

Fang Yu stood up and stretched: "The story can be told slowly, but the wine should be drunk while it's hot."

He raised his glass and declared loudly, "To survive!"

Everyone exchanged smiles and raised their glasses: "Cheers!"

The campfire illuminated everyone's faces, and laughter echoed through the clouds.

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

The sunlight on the sky island was exceptionally intense, as if it were baking the clouds.

Nami wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at the blinding sunlight, and couldn't help but complain, "The sun on this Sky Island is too strong! I'm going to get a tan if I stay here any longer!"

She turned to look at Fang Yu, frowning as she asked, "Captain, how do we get down? I've heard that we have to wait for some rapids, and apparently, if we're unlucky, it only happens once every few months!"

Fang Yu was lazily lying on the deck sunbathing when he heard this. He opened one eye and a smile appeared on his lips: "Turbulent waters? That's too much trouble."

"Huh? Then how do we get down?" Nami asked, looking puzzled.

Fang Yu didn't answer. Instead, he suddenly stood up, walked to the side of the ship, and stretched.

Before anyone could react, he leaped off the edge of the floating island!
"Captain!!" Nami screamed in fright, jumping up as if her life depended on it!

Brooke's teacup slammed to the ground, his skull jaw agape: "Is the captain trying to commit suicide?!" Perona's ghost umbrella fell from her hand in fright, her face turning deathly pale: "Are you crazy! This is ten thousand meters in the air!"

Although Robin remained relatively calm, his fingertips unconsciously tightened their grip on the book.

Carrot's rabbit ears stood up straight, and tears were almost streaming down her face: "Captain! No!"

However, Fang Yu's figure had already disappeared into the clouds, leaving only the exclamations of the crowd echoing above the sky island.

At this moment, Fang Yu was enjoying the thrill of freefall.

The wind howled past his ears, and the clouds rushed past him. He opened his arms as if to embrace the entire sky.

"Cool!"

He couldn't help but shout.

As the altitude continued to decrease, the sea gradually appeared larger in the field of vision.

Just as it was about to crash into the sea, Fang Yu calmly took out a homemade kunai from his ninja tool bag, flicked his wrist, and the kunai spun and flew towards the sea surface.

Just as the kunai was about to touch the water, a glint flashed in Fang Yu's eyes!
Flying Thunder God!
Swish!
His figure vanished suddenly, and the next second he was already next to the kunai.

The spatial displacement technique of the Flying Thunder God Technique perfectly offset the impact of the fall, allowing him to hover steadily a few meters above the sea surface.

"Done." Fang Yu snapped his fingers triumphantly.

He looked around and soon spotted a protruding reef not far away.

He activated Flying Thunder God Technique again, instantly teleporting to the reef, crouching down, and quickly inscribing a Flying Thunder God Technique seal.

"Next," Fang Yu stood up, his mind stirring slightly.

On the floating island, everyone was still leaning over the ship's side, anxiously looking down.

"Oh no, oh no, the captain must be smashed to pieces!" Vivi cried.

Just then, the Ghost Carrot suddenly shook violently!
"What happened?!" Perona exclaimed.

Before they could react, the entire ship vanished from its spot in a flash!
"Aaaaaaah!" The screams of the crowd still lingered, but the ship was gone!

Immediately afterwards, Fang Yu swiftly threw them off the edge of the floating island, giving them a taste of the freefall Fang Yu had just experienced!

On the sea, the Ghost Carrot appeared out of thin air and floated steadily on the water.

Fang Yu stood at the bow of the ship, and before the crew members fell into the water, he used his Flying Thunder God technique to send them onto the deck.

He put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "How was it? Exciting, wasn't it?"

The crew members lay sprawled on the deck, their faces pale and slumped over.

Nami was the first to get up, rushed over, grabbed Fang Yu by the collar, and roared, "Are you crazy?! You scared me to death!"

Fang Yu said with a grin, "Nothing's wrong, is it?"

Robin rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Could you please let me know in advance next time?"

"It wouldn't be fun if you told them in advance!" Fang Yu blinked.

Perona floated over, glaring at him angrily: "If there's a next time, I'm definitely going to poison your food!"

Nami angrily hugged a pile of gold bricks on the deck, "For the sake of these treasures! I'll let you off this time!"

After an hour of reorganization, Perona floated on the mast, lazily basking in the sun: "Where to next?"

Fang Yu stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Imperial City."

"Are you really going?" Nami blinked.

Nico Robin sighed, "If we really can't handle the captain, we might all end up in jail!"

"Don't worry! With me here, no one will be caught." He waved his hand. "Target! The underwater prison!"
