Chapter 173 The Ship Falling from the Sky

"Idiot, don't throw it at me!~" Nami slapped the skeleton thrown by Usopp on the deck with her backhand.

After several minutes of huge waves, the Golden Merry was safe and sound.

"Why did the ship fall from the sky?" Luffy looked up at the sky.

Chopper and Usopp were still hugging each other and shivering.

"This is so weird." Sanji also looked up at the sky.

"But there's nothing in the sky." Zoro crossed his arms and refuted Sanji's words.

"Really? What the hell is the Grand Line..." Usopp was still furious. "It's weird enough that there's a ship graveyard inside the colorful fog, and now there are ships falling from the sky."

"Ah..." Nami exclaimed.

"What's wrong, Nami-san?" Sanji asked.

"What should I do? The record pointer is broken." Nami said, looking at the record pointer on her wrist, "It keeps pointing at it and doesn't move."

"No, I think it was attracted by the island with stronger magnetic force." Robin said, "So a new record has been changed."

"Huh?" Nami asked in doubt.

"Since the pointer is pointing upwards and not moving, it means that the record of this pointer has been taken away by 'Sky Island'." Robin analyzed and looked up at the sky.

"Sky Island?" everyone said in unison.

"What is that?" Nami asked.

"The island floating in the air?" Luffy asked Robin excitedly.

"Did the ship and the dead bones fall from there?" Usopp asked.

"But there's nothing like an island in the sky," said Zoro.

"That's not what I mean." Robin said, "To be precise, it should be the sea that is floating."

"The sea will float?" Nami asked puzzledly.

"Oh, oh..." Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper opened their mouths wide.

"The more I listen, the more confused I get," Sanji complained.

Luffy shouted that he wanted to go to Sky Island and asked them to drive the ship into the sky. Robin directly used her ability to poke Usopp's eyes and covered Luffy's mouth.

"Just make it clear to you, Captain, the rudder cannot be turned upwards," Sanji complained.

"To be honest, I haven't seen Sky Island myself, and I don't know much about it." Robin continued.

"That's right, this is impossible. How can the island and the sea float in the sky? The recording pointer must be broken." Nami said.

"No, Miss Navigator, what you should be thinking about now is not where the recording pointer is broken, but how to get to the sky," said Robin.

"No matter how bizarre the situation the ship is involved in, or how great the crisis it is in, you must never doubt the record pointer on your hand. This is the iron rule of navigation."

"In this sea, the first thing you should doubt is the common sense in your head. Record the direction pointed by the needle. There must be an island."

Hearing this, Nami looked at the record pointer in her hand.

[Ding, witness the iron law of navigation, complete the witnessing event, and get a D-level reward, 3 green tights. ]

Seeing this, Robin walked towards the remains.

"Hey, Wang Hao, don't you have the ability to fly and the ability to summon a thousand-year dragon? Take us to Sky Island." Zoro looked at Wang Hao.

"The sky island is very high. Even a thousand-year-old dragon can't fly up there. Don't let your imagination run wild." Wang Hao recovered from the silence in his tights and shook his head.

"Does Sky Island really exist?" Nami looked at Wang Hao, "Do you outsiders have any information?"

"It's useless to say it. It will be corrected." Wang Hao shook his head and said, "It's related to the experience of you parties. It will be corrected later."

"What is that woman going to do by opening the coffin!" Chopper's nervous voice came, and he was seen hiding behind the mast in the opposite direction.

Nami was also startled when she saw this and hid behind the mast.

Robin took the tweezers and began to assemble the skull of the remains.

"Have you figured out anything?" asked Zoro.

"Not yet," Robin said as he worked.

"Your interests are really strange..." Nami said, sticking her head behind the mast.

"A dead man and a beautiful woman, it's quite an elegant and unique combination." Sanji said with interest.

"Huh? Where's Luffy?" Zoro looked around and saw that Luffy and Usopp had already gone to the broken ship to explore.

"What are these two planning to do now?" Zoro complained, scratching his head.

"They said they wanted to go exploring," Chopper replied.

Soon, Robin placed a skull on the deck.

"Oh, it's back to its original form." Sanji looked at the skull in Robin's hand.

"This hole must have been made by humans." Robin said, looking at the skull.

"What I mean is that this guy was hit there and died," said Sanji.

"No, these are scars from treatment." Robin touched the two holes on the skull. "It should be called 'cephalic surgery', right, ship's doctor?"

"Yes." Chopper nodded. "In the past, people treated brain tumors by making a hole in the skull, but that was probably a medical technique from a long time ago."

"Yes, this man has been dead for about 200 years." Robin said, analyzing, "He was probably around 30 years old, and he must have died of illness during a voyage. Compared to other bones, his teeth are relatively intact because they were coated with tar. This funeral custom is a unique tradition in some areas of the South China Sea. Based on the course of history, the ship should have been a ship of a past expedition team."

As he spoke, Robin began to look through the books.

"Yes, a kingdom in the South Sea. The ship of the Kingdom of Bliss, the Saint Bliss, sailed before 208."

"It looks like a fallen ship." Nami said.

"Come to think of it, it seems that the ship also has this emblem," said Zoro.

"This ship has been drifting in the air for 200 years," Robin confirmed.

"I didn't expect you could analyze so many things just from the bones." Nami said.

"Indeed, she is definitely a beautiful coroner." Wang Hao also nodded.

"Although the corpse cannot speak, the information on it cannot escape. If it is an expedition ship, it should have left behind various evidence and records." Robin said.

"But the ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea..." Nami looked at the sunken ship and suddenly leaned over to the side of the ship and roared with her fangs, "What are you two idiots doing!?"

"Luffy, cheer up!" Usopp shouted on the clapper of the broken ship.

"Help... Gurgle Gurgle..." Luffy floundered in the water.

……

Luffy was rescued to the shore. He took a breath for a moment and shouted excitedly.

"Hey, everyone, I found it!" Luffy said, "I found something great, look."

As he spoke, Luffy took out a map and showed it to everyone.

"Oh, the map of Sky Island!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
