Chapter 150 Finally, we've reached Kukai!
Picking up where we left off, after Luffy and his crew obtained clues about Skypiea, they immediately packed their bags and prepared to embark on their journey. When Curige asked the Straw Hat crew how they planned to get to Skypiea, Goten immediately performed his Flying Technique, effectively silencing Curige...
When Kureha saw that Goten could fly, he asked with a puzzled look, "Kid, are you a Devil Fruit user?!"
Upon hearing this, Goten immediately retorted, "You're wrong! I'm a martial artist, and this is the 'Dance of the Sky' technique I learned through training!"
As night fell, having witnessed the Straw Hat crew's strength, Cureke felt reassured and revealed everything he knew, including a small golden bell he had salvaged from the sea and a statue of a golden bird...
Upon seeing the golden bird, Kureha realized that he had forgotten to tell the Straw Hat crew that they needed a guide bird to reach Skypiea. Just as he was feeling guilty, Goten used Instant Transmission to bring back a bird that looked exactly like the golden bird. The speed was so fast that even the bird didn't have time to react.
Upon seeing this, Kulik immediately directed the Straw Hat crew to begin repairing and modifying the Going Merry. After all, the Going Merry had been through numerous collisions, and without repairs, it was likely to be destroyed and everyone on board perished.
While the Going Merry was being repaired, the ape-man and the gorilla-like man that Luffy and his crew had encountered earlier returned from the sea. After some persuasion from Kurike, they quickly became friends with Luffy and joined in the repair and renovation of the Going Merry...
While playing with the Compass Bird, Goten casually observed the others busily working. Just as he was getting bored, a furious shout suddenly came from behind him—"Straw Hat Boy! I, Bellamy, have come to get my revenge!"
Seeing this, Goten immediately handed the Compass Bird to Robin, then did a backflip and landed in front of Bellamy and his group, arrogantly shouting, "Sorry for coming all this way, but we don't have time to play with you. If you don't want to die, hurry up and go back so we can continue our journey to Skypiea."
Upon hearing this, Bellamy and his friends burst into laughter at Goten: "Hahaha, you're talking about Skypiea? You really are just a little kid, believing in such a boring fairy tale and indulging in such idiotic daydreams!"
Looking at these ignorant fools, Goten let out a wanton laugh. Annoyed, Goten casually condensed a small light blast at his fingertip and tossed it into Bellamy and his group, instantly blasting them all away...
After dealing with the annoying flies, the repairs and modifications to the Going Merry were quickly completed. Led by the pirate ship of the ape and the gorilla, Luffy and his crew headed towards the location of the rising ocean current that Kurike had mentioned...
Upon reaching the desired location, Luffy and his crew stood at the bow of the Going Merry, gazing at the surging sea and the rapidly forming whirlpool ahead. Their eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation, for they knew this was the only way to reach Skypiea.
As the Going Merry drew closer to the whirlpool, the current grew stronger, and the ship began to rock violently. Luffy gripped the bow railing tightly and shouted, "Hold on tight, everyone! We're going into the whirlpool!"
Upon entering the whirlpool, the Going Merry began to spin rapidly, forming a massive wall of water around it. Luffy and the others cheered excitedly, feeling the immense power within them.
Just then, a sudden upwelling current appeared, lifting the Going Merry abruptly. Luffy and the others screamed excitedly as they watched the Going Merry rise rapidly with the current. Everyone except Goten clung tightly to the hull to avoid being swept away by the current…
Before long, the Going Merry soared into the sky. Under Nami's command, the sails were hoisted, and the ocean currents propelled them higher into the air. Luffy and the others stood on the ship, gazing at the vast ocean below and the distant islands, their hearts filled with heroic ambition.
"Skypiea, here we come!" Luffy shouted.
After breaking through the clouds, the Straw Hat crew finally arrived above the Sky Sea. Looking at the Going Merry floating on the boundless white clouds and sea, the Straw Hat crew couldn't help but feel excited.
Usopp immediately tried to do a freestyle swim, but Goten punched him to the ground. The others were confused, so Goten explained seriously, "Idiot, this is thousands of miles in the sky. If you fall, even a god can't save you. Just wait until the reconnaissance is almost complete before you move!"
Usopp immediately replied, "Okay, I understand. Sorry I was a little impulsive just now..."
Goten had just stopped Usopp when two giant sea kings suddenly appeared around the Going Merry. Fortunately, Zoro and Sanji intervened in time, barely managing to get through another dangerous moment...
However, before everyone could relax, a man wearing an ancient warrior mask and jet boots charged towards the Straw Hat crew. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were about to make a move when the man knocked them down with a single blow.
Upon seeing this, Goten immediately attacked and repelled the man, quickly engaging him in combat. However, the man suddenly produced a peculiar seashell, pressed it against Goten's body, and then pressed a button on the seashell. Goten was then violently impacted and blasted away, falling into Kukai...
Upon seeing Goten being shot down and falling into the Sky Sea, Luffy immediately became enraged. He glared angrily at the man who had suddenly attacked him and fired his Gum-Gum Pistol, only to have it easily blocked by the man using the seashell he had just used.
Seeing this, Luffy immediately prepared to continue his attack, but Goten flew out of Kukai again and shouted at Luffy, "Luffy, wait a minute! Leave that guy to me. How dare he launch a surprise attack with such a weird gadget? I won't let you continue to be so arrogant. I'm going to use my full power!"
As Goten spoke, he gathered his power and transformed into Super Saiyan 1. Upon seeing this, the man who had suddenly attacked him immediately turned around and fled at high speed. Goten, upon hearing this, decisively unleashed his power and chased after the man, only to be stopped by an old man wearing knight armor.
Seeing this, Wutian questioned the old man impatiently, "You bastard, you're one of that scoundrel's accomplices, aren't you? You're here to cause trouble too, aren't you!"
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately panicked and explained, "No, I'm here to save you! I'm a Sky Knight!"
After the old man finished speaking, Wutian scolded, "What does this have to do with me? And... that bastard has already run away. It's all your fault, what kind of bullshit knight are you!"
Furious, Goten could only bring the old man who called himself the Sky Knight to Luffy and the others. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were still reeling from their earlier humiliation. Seeing this, Goten tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's nothing to worry about. You're just not used to the air pressure at high altitudes yet. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to move around normally. And when we run into that guy again, we'll make him pay..."
At this moment, Nami pointed to the old man next to Goten and asked, "Goten, who is this old man?"
The Sky Knight solemnly introduced himself: "Hello, I am—the Sky Knight!"
