Chapter 408 The Straw Hats’ New Direction

Even though this place is still a lawless zone where pirates are rampant, most of the shops here are controlled by people from the South China Sea.

In normal times, they are no different from ordinary people, except that most of the time they are the people who come here immediately.

Especially for those who may talk about going to the Sky Island, these shop owners will try their best to stop them. The purpose is to make them retreat and tell them that there is no such thing as an Sky Island in the world.

After a long period of exaggeration, everyone gradually understood that there is no empty island in this world. However, those who know these things are basically concentrated in the upper-level power people. For these ordinary pirates, whether they know it or not It's not that important anymore.

Gaya Island looks much more prosperous than before. Not only does it have pubs, restaurants, and even several hotels.

At least those who have always been willing to stay in this lawless zone, each and every one of them, for some reason, still follow the rules here.

In most cases, they will not attack each other on Gaya Island. Even if they are pirates, in many cases, most of the people living here are no different from ordinary people. After all, people who can become pirates, more In fact, they are ordinary people. If they couldn't survive, they wouldn't choose to take this road.

Staying on Gaya Island can at least satisfy their warm life, so in the past few years, the permanent population on Gaya Island has also been increasing.

No one knows whether all this peaceful life will be broken by the arrival of the Straw Hats?

"Luffy, do you think there really is an empty island? Even people living here have never heard of it. Is there really no such place?"

In the hotel, Nami asked Luffy who was walking in front of her in confusion.

"Sky Island?? I don't think there is one."

Usopp said.

"If there really was such a place, wouldn't there be a lot of delicious food?" Chopper said with drooling eyes.

Because until now, no one dares to confirm whether the sky island exists, and they don’t know from what kind of place one can get up? But according to the instructions on the record pointer, their next destination is indeed heading upwards.

With just this piece of information, they are not sure which direction they should take next.

"Sky Island really exists, just 10,000 meters above Gaya Island."

When everyone was still confused, Robin said directly and lightly.

"How do you know? Could it be that you have been to Sky Island?"

Zoro asked.

"I have never been to Sky Island, but this place does exist. The only way to get to Gaya Island is to enter through the sky current. However, this situation is very dangerous, and the chance of successfully going up is only 100%. It’s just one percent.”

Robin said, still smiling.

"Sky current? What is this?"

Luffy turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Isn't this the right time to talk about this now? Robin, why do you know this kind of thing?"

Nami asked equally curiously.

"That's right, Robin." Usopp said.

"Have you forgotten where I come from?"

Robin continued to smile and then opened his mouth to speak.

"I remember Robin, you seem to be from the West Sea, but you are from the South China Sea!"

Nami said.

"Kongdao is now a military base of the Tru Empire. If we can't go up there, we'll try our best not to go up there."

Robin said.

Sanji was the only one among these people who knew Robin's identity. He never mentioned this matter from beginning to end, and could only look at each other silently.

Now after such a long voyage, they have already recognized each other as partners. As for what kind of identities they have? This thing no longer matters to them.

After all, Ace wanted to reveal Robin's identity a long time ago, but in the end it was Luffy himself who stopped him.

Although everyone was shocked when they heard the news, they were not overly surprised.

After all, along the way, they had gained some understanding of the huge power of the Toru Empire, and they would not be sad because of such things.

But the moment they heard that Sky Island really existed, several people couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"It turns out that this is a military base of the Kru Empire. It seems that it is better for us not to go up there. Otherwise, if we are caught by others then, wouldn't it be impossible to move forward?"

Usopp said a little guilty.

"No, since we are already here and the record pointer is pointing upwards, I must go to Sky Island."

Luffy said seriously.

"True Empire? It seems that we have a chance to get in touch with their powerful people."

Zoro stood nearby and said excitedly.

"What's going on with you two? Don't you feel terrible?" Chopper's attitude was actually similar to Usopp's. He would not cause trouble if he could.

The most critical thing is that life is at stake, and the most important thing is that Robin has proposed that the only way to go up is only a 1% chance of success, which means whether they can go up is still a question.

"Robin, the fact that Sky Island is a military base of the Tru Empire must be a military secret of this country. If you know this, you must know someone, right?"

Nami winked at Robin and said, showing a flattering look and leaning a little closer in Robin's direction.

"If you are not afraid of the danger brought by the soaring sea currents, I can take you to the Sky Island to have a look." Robin said with a smile.

"I don't know how to determine the current of the sky? How to go up?" Usopp covered his head and thought for a moment.

But while they were thinking, the owner of the restaurant where they were staying quietly walked over.

He looked at the appearance of this group of people, and then said with a smile, "Everyone, from what you said, it seems that you want to go to Sky Island? But I do know a little bit about the cliff at the edge of Gaya Island. There is a guy named Montblancoulikai living nearby, and he has been studying this matter. Maybe if you ask him, you should be able to find the way up."

"Is what you said true?"

Luffy stood up in excitement. Looking at the hotel owner who was talking, the smile on his face began to twist.

"Of course, no one in the entire Gaya Island believes in the existence of Sky Island, and only Montblancoulikai studies this kind of thing every day." The hotel owner said.

No one noticed when he spoke. Even when he stayed inside and listened to the group of people talking, no one noticed his expression. This was mainly because the owner of the restaurant had his eyes focused on Robin and kept his gaze. With a respectful attitude.
