Chapter 105: Arriving at Jaya Island and Searching for Sky Island!
A week later...
"Is this the legendary Land of Gold?" Najenda muttered, looking around with narrowed eyes.
"But why does it look so... poor?"
She unfolded a weathered map of Jaya Island and skimmed through a brief introduction written on the back.
This was supposed to be the legendary Land of Gold—rumored to be overflowing with riches.
And yet, after spending a few days here, Najenda was unconvinced. The place didn't feel rich at all.
"Well, the food's pretty good," Akame said casually, strolling up while sucking on a lollipop.
"And there are a lot of pirates around... just none worth fighting. Too weak."
Ever since she arrived in this world, the darkness that once lurked in Akame's heart had gradually faded. What remained was an almost childlike innocence.
"The Land of Gold isn't here on Jaya Island," Ryuunosuke said, pointing toward the sky with a faint smile.
"It's up there."
"...In the sky?" Akame blinked in disbelief.
"How could that be? How can there be an island in the sky?"
She tilted her head, gazing up at the clouds in wonder.
Sure, this world had many things that defied logic, but the idea of an island floating in the sky still sounded ridiculous.
But then again... this was the world of One Piece.
"Alright, it's not time yet. Let's wait a bit," Ryuunosuke said calmly.
"When the Knock Up Stream appears, we'll go meet the man who can help us."
That was right—Ryuunosuke hadn't come to Jaya in search of the Golden Country.
His goal was Sky Island.
More specifically—Enel.
That guy was a literal bug in this world's system. If Ryuunosuke could enhance Enel's Armament Haki and physical combat abilities, he'd become a terrifying trump card.
It was a waste for someone like that to be written off and shipped to the moon.
"Let's go," Ryuunosuke said. "There's someone I need to visit."
He led the group toward a small wooden house nestled deep in the forest—a place etched into his memory.
The man he sought was Mont Blanc Cricket, the descendant of the infamous liar, Mont Blanc Noland.
Driven by the desire to clear his ancestor's name, Cricket had spent years diving into the sea in search of the Golden City that supposedly sank beneath the waves.
But the truth was... the Golden City wasn't underwater.
It had been launched into the sky by a massive current.
Of course, no ordinary person would ever guess such a thing.
"Sky Island?" Ace raised an eyebrow.
"Wait, are you talking about that legendary place above the clouds?"
He glanced at Ryuunosuke, curiosity flickering in his eyes.
"I heard the Revolutionary Army's been trying to find that place," he added.
"Are you trying to help Sabo?"
Ryuunosuke fell silent for a moment.
It was true—if the Revolutionary Army could establish a base on Sky Island, it'd be almost impossible to find, let alone attack.
But if they were discovered and surrounded, escape would be near-impossible.
Still, that wasn't Ryuunosuke's concern.
If Sabo weren't involved, he wouldn't care about the Revolutionary Army at all.
Sure, their mission sounded noble on paper. But in the end, they were no different from pirates.
Soon, the group arrived at a modest little house.
Ryuunosuke stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Mont Blanc Cricket. I'm Ryuunosuke, captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates. Sorry to bother you."
He kept his tone polite. After all, he was here to ask for help—not start a fight.
"Pirates?" came a gruff voice from within.
The door opened, revealing a rugged man with a confused expression.
Mont Blanc Cricket eyed the group warily.
He didn't recognize them.
For the past few years, Cricket had spent most of his time diving in the ocean in search of clues. His body had developed barometric sickness from the constant pressure changes. He barely kept up with the world's news.
Even though the Dragon Hunter Pirates had grown famous recently, he hadn't heard a thing about them.
"We're not here to rob or fight," Ryuunosuke said with a friendly smile.
"We'd like to ask for your help. And of course, we'll compensate you for your time."
Najenda and the others blinked in surprise.
Ryuunosuke—the man who was usually more ruthless than any of them—was smiling?
Even Ace was stunned.
This was not the big brother he knew.
"Compensation?" Cricket frowned.
"I'm not interested in money. I want to know what exactly you need help with first. Then I'll decide if I'm in."
Fair enough.
At least the man wasn't hostile. And in his condition, he wouldn't have been able to resist anyway if Ryuunosuke had come with violence.
"We want to know the exact time and location of the next Knock Up Stream," Ryuunosuke said.
"In return, I'll tell you where the Golden City actually is."
"I think that's a fair trade... don't you?"
Cricket's eyes widened in disbelief.
It was the first time anyone had spoken of the Golden City without mocking him.
In fact, this stranger had brought it up on his own.
Most people laughed at him. Some ridiculed him to his face. Others dismissed him as a madman.
That's why he lived out here alone.
"...I hope you're not messing with me," Cricket said in a low voice.
"If you really know where the Golden City is... I'll do anything you ask."
Ryuunosuke knew then that the deal was sealed.
"The Golden City isn't beneath the sea," he said quietly.
"It was launched into the sky by the Knock Up Stream."
"I'm headed to a place called Sky Island. That's where it is now."
Cricket fell silent.
He had heard whispers of Sky Island before.
But if what Ryuunosuke said was true...
Then everything he'd done all these years had been for nothing?
His hands trembled slightly.
Was this really the end of his lifelong pursuit?
"Frustrated?" Ryuunosuke asked.
"Feel like your life's purpose just collapsed?"
He stepped forward and raised his voice.
"Mont Blanc Cricket! Are you trying to prove yourself... or prove history right?"
Cricket's head snapped up. His lips trembled.
"I..."
He couldn't finish the sentence.
Because deep down, he realized—his obsession had clouded his judgment.
He couldn't even face failure with dignity.
And what kind of man did that make him?
