Chapter 103: People who know how to go to Sky Island

"But it's too dangerous to continue sailing in such a tattered and shaky state!" Sanji said with a frown.

Although he was very reluctant to hear Usopp's lengthy story of how he got the Merry again, he still told him the truth about the extremely poor condition of the Merry.

"That's why I need to hurry up and repair it! Don't just stand there and complain, come and help!" Usopp knew what it meant to let the Merry continue its adventure at this moment, but his deep feelings for the ship made him unwilling to give it up easily.

"How can this be considered a repair? It's clearly just some simple mending..." Sanji couldn't help but speak as he looked at Usopp who was frantically trying to fill the large and small holes on the Merry with wooden boards.

In fact, he knew in his heart that what he said was a bit inhumane, but the cruel reality was before him - even if they still had the ability to carry out partial repairs on the Merry, one day, the Merry would completely lose the ability to sail.

"You're so annoying!" After hearing Sanji's words, Usopp showed a hint of impatience on his face. At the same time, he leaned back slightly, made a weird gesture with his hands, and shouted at Sanji.

At the same time, Chopper, who was standing next to him, saw this and began to imitate Usopp's actions, but because of his short stature, the action looked even more ridiculous.

Chopper stood on tiptoe, raised his hands above his head, and shouted: "You are so annoying!"

At this moment, Sanji seemed to remember something and was about to ask the two for their opinions on dinner tonight.

However, before he could finish his words, Usopp and Chopper interrupted him in unison: "You're so annoying..."

Looking at the two guys in front of him making such strange movements, Sanji couldn't help but feel helpless.

He shook his head, turned around and prepared to leave, muttering to himself: "Since you don't want to eat, forget it..."

Although Sanji said on the surface that he would not cook dinner for Usopp and Chopper, in fact, he was still thinking about Usopp and Chopper's dinner in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about what delicious meal to make tonight, suddenly, a familiar voice came from a distance.

"Hmm? What is this sound?" Sanji frowned and moved his ears slightly. He immediately recognized that this was the unique sound made by the mysterious ape when he appeared before.

Not only that, Usopp and Chopper on the side also noticed the unusual movement, but they did not show any fear.

You know, now that Sanji is here, after two years of hard special training, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

Faced with such a situation, Usopp was full of confidence. With Sanji's current ability, dealing with those enemies would be a piece of cake!

At this moment, Sanji's eyes became sharp and firm, as if telling everyone: Don't be afraid, I am here!

Usopp quickly picked up his slingshot and watched the movements around him vigilantly; Chopper was not to be outdone and was eager to show off his fighting skills.

"What happened? Why are you so serious?" Just then, Robin boarded the Merry with a handbag in hand.

She was acutely aware that the atmosphere was unusually tense.

"Robin! Look at that!" As soon as Usopp saw Robin, he couldn't wait to stretch out his arm and point in a specific direction.

Robin looked in the direction he pointed and his eyes were instantly attracted.

"That ship... could it be the one owned by the ape we met before..." Robin stared at the ship in the distance and suddenly understood why everyone was so solemn.

"Welcome back, Miss Robin! Would you like to enjoy a delicious meal or take a bath first?" Sanji noticed Robin's return and immediately went forward to greet her enthusiastically.

"Robin, where did you go just now?" Chopper also came up and asked with concern on his face.

However, Robin did not respond to Sanji's courtesy, but turned his gaze to Chopper and said softly: "Oh, I'm going to buy some clothes and find out some news about Sky Island."

As she spoke, she took out an old sea chart from her bag and handed it to Usopp.

"What is this? Is it the legendary treasure map?" Usopp took it with a puzzled look on his face and looked at it carefully.

He was surprised to find that there was a mysterious island depicted on the nautical chart.

"Look here, the small town on the left side of the map is the Devil Town where we are now. And on the other side of it, do you see the 'x' mark on the east side? It is said that there lives a weird old man who is not accepted by the Pressure Island." Robin used the power of the Devil Fruit to create a hand pointing at the sea chart and explained it to Usopp in detail.

"Gaya Island?" Usopp felt very unfamiliar with the name and couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"Oh, to put it simply, it's the island we're docked at the moment." Robin replied with a smile, and introduced the situation of the island to Usopp.

After hearing this, Usopp suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Then, he asked curiously: "So, who is that weird old man?"

"His name is Mont Blanc Kuliquet. Because he always talks about his dreams, he was eventually expelled from the Pressure Island. Luffy might get along well with him." Robin said as she opened the door of a room on the Merry and walked in.

"Let's wait until Luffy and the others come back before discussing this matter." Usopp said to himself as he carefully folded the nautical chart and put it in his arms.

Then he turned his head and looked towards the looming ship in the distance, but it was not coming towards them.

In fact, it is common to see a pirate ship at the port of Gaya Island.

You know, the reason why they had an intersection with the ship in the original book was entirely because the Merry had already set sail at that time.

However, at this moment, Luffy and his crew had not returned yet, and the Merry was quietly anchored in the port and had not gone out to sea, so they had no intersection with the people on that ship.

"It seems like they've left, Usopp!" At this time, Chopper was lying on the fence of the Merry and shouted at Usopp.

When Usopp heard this, he turned around and looked. Sure enough, the ship was moving farther and farther away and gradually disappeared from his sight.

"Gone?" Usopp stared at the ship that was moving farther and farther away, frowning slightly, and said to himself: "It seems that the ship is not the one driven by the ape we met before..."

He thought to himself that if it was really the ape's ship, once it discovered the trace of the Merry, it would surely rush over without hesitation.

But the current situation is completely the opposite. The ship is not approaching. Does this mean that it has nothing to do with the apes before? The more Usopp thought about it, the more he felt that his guess made sense.
