Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

"what?"

Fanny watched the conversation between the ape and Luffy, and scratched his head in confusion.

I honestly don't remember much about this kind of ordinary plot.

Anyway, all I remembered was that this ape was a key figure on the way to Skypiea, so I let Luffy and the others go off and mess around.

On the floating island, gold and purple hues seemed to abound!

So Fanny stood aside, watching with great interest the interaction between Luffy and his crew and the ape.

"Hey, you! What makes you think you're in charge of all this stuff?"

Luffy put his hands on his hips and said defiantly.

"Because I'm the salvage king, I can salvage anything that sinks into the sea!"

The ape waved its arms and spoke aggressively.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Nami suddenly stepped forward, crossed her arms, and said with a serious expression.

"Alright, stop arguing! We're not really interested in these treasures; we just want to find the Sky Island."

"If you can help us find the Sky Island, you can have all these treasures."

Well, Nami's heart was bleeding when she said those words.

Nami endured it all for the sake of the treasure on the sky island.

Upon hearing Nami's words, a hint of hesitation flashed in the ape's eyes.

"Sky islands aren't so easy to find..."

"However, I can give you a clue: you can go to Jaya Island and ask around. You might find some information about Sky Island there."

The ape scratched his head and said somewhat guiltily.

Nami and the others, following the ape's advice, headed to Jaya Island.

After a relatively easy voyage, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at Mock Town on Jaya Island.

However, they were stunned by the sight before they entered Magic Valley Town.

The town of Mogu is teeming with ferocious pirates, and the streets are filled with scenes of fighting and gunfire.

A tense and dangerous atmosphere filled the air.

Nami looked at the scene before her and felt a sense of unease.

She knew Luffy and Zoro's tempers well; if they caused trouble here, it could lead to a big problem.

Then, she looked seriously at Luffy and Zoro, who were eager to try.

"Luffy, Zoro, in order to gather information about 'Skypiea,' you two absolutely cannot fight here, or I'll cut off your allowance."

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately became anxious.

He patted his chest and said confidently.

"Don't worry, Nami! I promise you, I absolutely won't fight!"

However, things did not go as smoothly as they had imagined.

In a tavern in Mock Town, Luffy encountered Blackbeard's crew.

The two idiots got along very well, even though their personalities and interests were completely opposite.

After Blackbeard left, "Hyena" Bellamy and his gang rushed in.

Bellamy looked at Luffy and his crew with disdain.

He stepped forward and began to provoke and mock Wang Luffy's pirate dream.

Luffy was somewhat angry after hearing Bellamy's words.

But he had absolutely no desire to lay a hand on such ants.

If this were the old Luffy, he probably would have taken the beating.

The world of One Piece is still the same world of One Piece, but Luffy is no longer the same Luffy.

Seeing that Luffy didn't react, Bellamy assumed he was scared, so he became even more arrogant.

He charged up and punched Luffy, saying, "You coward, you don't even dare to fight back?"

However, to Bellamy's surprise, the moment his fist touched Luffy's body, which was covered in cosmos energy, it was bounced back by a powerful force.

Instead, he was thrown off, crashed through the ceiling, and disappeared as a star.

Unfortunately, there was no "I will definitely come back!"

Bad review!

Seeing this, Bellamy's henchmen rushed forward to avenge their boss.

However, Luffy easily blocked all their attacks using "Armament Haki, Iron Body, and Thick Skin".

His underlings' hands were almost broken by their own blows, and they were rolling on the ground in pain.

He didn't fight back; he was just giving these guys a chance because they were useless!

Luffy laughed loudly, a confident smile on his face, before being pulled away by Zoro.

Fanny watched this scene from the side, secretly pleased with himself.

He had long anticipated Luffy's performance, after all, everyone's strength had undergone a qualitative leap under the training in the "Hypertime Chamber".

However, just as Fanny had predicted, Luffy and his crew did not get any clues about "Skypiea" from Bellamy's group.

Actually, Nami never intended for Luffy and his crew to actually gather any clues; she just wanted to let them go out and relax.

Recently, Instructor Fanny has been putting a lot of pressure on them, and she hopes everyone can relax a bit during this process.

Nico Robin, the expert who actually went to investigate the intelligence, did make some progress.

After some investigation, they decided to first find Montblanc Kulik, a dreamer who had been expelled from Jaya Island.

It is said that Kulik is the only one who believes in the existence of the Sky Island, and perhaps he can provide them with some useful clues.

And so, Luffy and his crew embarked on their journey once again.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a salvage ship as soon as they set sail.

The apes on the salvage ship seemed somewhat surprised to see Luffy and his crew.

After all, he had just tricked the Straw Hat crew.

After all, the Straw Hat crew flies the pirate flag, and even the apes are afraid they might have ulterior motives.

Finally, under Fanny's threat, he told Luffy and the others the truth.

Well, it wasn't really a threat; it was just something I casually blew up and killed a sea king.

He knows the whereabouts of Montblanc Kulik and can lead them to him.

Luffy and his crew followed the salvage ship and finally found Montblanc Kureha.

It turns out that Kulik is a descendant of that "big liar Norland".

He always believed that his ancestors were not frauds and firmly believed that the Sky Island was real.

This persistence deeply moved Usopp, who felt as if he saw his past self in Rolando.

……

Chapter 41 Bellamy's Pirates' sneak attack, the surging ocean current rising from below.

……

The Bellamy Pirates frantically searched every corner of Jaya Island for Bellamy's whereabouts.

Finally, in a secluded corner, they found Bellamy stuck in a crevice.

At this moment, Bellamy still had the scars from his conflict with Luffy and the others, but his eyes revealed a kind of crazy excitement.

As soon as he saw his subordinates, he eagerly recounted all the clues about Skypiea that he had heard from Luffy and his crew as they passed by.

"Do you know what? Those idiots actually knew a clue about Sky Island!"

"Sky Island! It's a legendary place filled with endless treasures!"

"If we find it, we'll become the richest pirates in the world!"

Bellamy's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes gleamed with greed.

Bellamy's men erupted in uproar upon hearing his words.

"Boss, is this true? Sky Islands really exist?"

"If we can find a sky island, we'll be rich!"

Everyone was talking at once, their faces beaming with a desire for wealth.

"of course it's true!"

Bellamy patted his chest and assured him.

"Those guys can't have gone far yet. Let's hurry and catch up with them. We absolutely can't let them find the Sky Island first!"

So, the Bellamy Pirates immediately assembled and set off in the direction Luffy and his crew had gone.

Meanwhile, at Kurike's residence, Kurike looked at Luffy and his crew, who were full of anticipation.

Upon learning that these children were nothing more than a bunch of idiots chasing their dreams, Kulikai took a deep breath and finally decided to tell them how to get to the "Sky Island".

Just make sure you catch the right moment of the 'upward current'.

This current is very rare, and the timing of its appearance is unpredictable.

However, this time it will be tomorrow noon.

Once they miss this window, they may have to wait a long time for another opportunity.

Luffy and the others nodded in understanding.

However, just when everyone thought everything was ready, Kulik suddenly frowned and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot a crucial point! You still need to catch the 'South-South Bird' that can guide the way first."
