As the sky gradually brightened, the renovation work on the Merry was completed earlier than expected. After a short rest and breakfast, everyone started sailing.

Dazai Osamu, who was sleeping soundly, pushed the door open, stretched, ignored Usopp's sad look beside him, and walked slowly to the dining room. A sumptuous meal was already on the table, and everyone sat down in order.

Early in the morning, I drank some warm cream of mushroom soup, which made my stomach feel comfortable and swept away all the fatigue of the night.

Dazai Osamu drank a few sips and his stomach was full. Sanji calculated the amount by calculating Dazai Osamu's appetite and it was just right.

After Dazai Osamu finished eating, he played with the spoon in his hand with an unclear expression. He only started talking when everyone had almost finished eating.

"Have you ever thought that Nolando's gold is not under the sea, but in the sky."

These words were obviously directed at Kulikate, the gorilla, and the ape.

The three people's relaxed and comfortable expressions suddenly froze. They put down their knives and forks and looked at Dazai Osamu suspiciously, not understanding why he said that.

Dazai Osamu had thought about whether to tell them the truth before. If his guess was correct, it would be almost certain.

"Dazai, do you know where Nolando's gold is!" Usopp asked in surprise.

He had experienced Dazai Osamu's strategic planning several times. It seemed that Dazai Osamu knew a lot in advance every time and guided them subtly, allowing them to achieve their goals with the least damage and evolve at the fastest speed.

Robin also looked over. Being smart, she quickly figured out Dazai Osamu's guess, "You mean, the gold that Nolando mentioned is on the Sky Island, our destination."

Nami's eyes were already sparkling, saliva was unconsciously dripping from the corners of her mouth, and she was already dreaming of the beautiful scene of lying on the gold.

The gorilla stood up and slammed the table in excitement, "Are you telling the truth?"

He wanted to come over and hold Dazai Osamu down to question him.

Kulikate stretched out his hand to stop him. Age brought not only physical weakness, but also a lot of life experience. He could see that Dazai had no reason to lie to him. If he wanted to keep the gold for himself, he would not have said it at this time. However, after being disappointed again and again, he still wanted to ask carefully.

"Excuse me, may I ask how you inferred this?"

Dazai Osamu stood up and walked to the wall. "This house was not built by you. It was originally there. Nolando brought the king's army to look for gold, but in the end only half of the house was found."

Kulikate frowned. “These are all known to the world.”

"Have you ever thought about the cross-section of this house?" Dazai Osamu looked at Kulikate.

Kulikate replied directly, "Part of the island sank to the bottom of the sea. This is Nolando's last words."

Dazai Osamu laughed, with a barely visible arc on the corner of his mouth. "Does what the predecessors said have to be correct? Have you found any gold in the past few hundred years?"

Dazai Osamu's words may be a little cruel, but they are also true.

The three of them also understood that more than ten years of hard work had only resulted in a few gold nuggets. The gold content in this amount was higher than that of even the most ordinary ruins, which was completely inconsistent with Nolando's statement that there was gold everywhere.

"Have you ever seen the indigenous people of Gaya Island?" Dazai Osamu asked again.

I originally came to ask him for answers, but instead I felt like a student facing the teacher's constant questioning.

The three of them shook their heads honestly.

It is not clear whether the original residents of Gaya Island had it, and the small town next to it was built spontaneously because there were too many outsiders.

Nami nodded vigorously, "You mean the gold originally belonged to the residents of Gaya Island."

The house could not have appeared out of thin air. It is the crystallization of human civilization, which shows that there were human inhabitants on this island before. Robin also said before that civilization was born here.

Robin also added, "And the golden bell that Nolando heard also needs someone to ring it."

"But, since Nolando took the soldiers to look for gold, no one has been seen on that Gaya Island, and there is no trace of gold."

The ape had read the story many times and knew it by heart.

"How does that relate to Sky Island?" asked the gorilla.

Sanji kept smoking and frowned, "If it was an island that sank to the bottom of the sea, the cross section wouldn't be so smooth. It's like it was cut directly off by some powerful force."

Dazai Osamu nodded, "You guys told me this."

When he first came to this sea area, Dazai Osamu had no idea what the turbulent current was. In the small town, after hearing the popular science from Kulikate, he learned that this turbulent current was unique to this sea area.

"Surging into the sky and ocean currents!!"

"Surging into the sky and ocean currents!!"

Kulikate and Usopp said at the same time.

The two looked at each other, then looked away, staring at Dazai Osamu nervously, watching for his reaction.

"Yes." Dazai Osamu glanced at the two of them and guessed that this was still easy, even though they had already given him so many reminders.

"What about the ocean current carrying the island up into the sky? I've never heard of that!"

Neither Usopp nor Kuliket believed this statement. Could a small ocean current have such great power?

Kulikate pondered for a moment, "Well, it's possible. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's impossible. I've said before that this ocean current is a huge natural disaster. No one knows its power. You just have to pray for yourself if you encounter it."

Kulikate raised his eyelids and looked at Dazai Osamu. "But this alone still cannot convince me."

"Nami." Nami shuddered and quickly sat up straight.

"exist."

"Please draw the map of Sky Island that Luffy and his friends found earlier, and the map of Jaya Island that Robin found, in the same proportions."

Dazai Osamu ordered.

Nami was in a hurry. She placed the two maps in her pocket on the table and smoothed out the wrinkles. On the left was the map of Sky Island, and on the right was the map of Jaya Island. She took out paper and pen, and started painting on the canvas. She finished the painting soon, and placed them neatly, then stepped away.

Others gathered around and looked intently at the two maps.

Is there any connection between these two pictures and Nolando’s gold?

"At first, it was hard to imagine that the Sky Island would be connected to the story of Nolando on earth. After all, it is in the sky, and no one knows much about its ecology, whether there are really islands, and even sky fish."

Dazai Osamu smiled and walked forward. The others consciously separated and made way for him. Dazai Osamu rearranged the two maps.

"But, the moment I saw the house, I had some guesses. The map of Sky Island was not originally there, but was drawn by people 400 years ago when Gaya Island was washed up into the sky. If the map is laid out like this, what does it look like?"

"Skull." The map of Gaya Island was at the bottom, and the map of Sky Island was at the top. The two maps were placed together perfectly, and were separated from the mouth. The top map was the Sky Island area, and the bottom map was the Gaya Island area.

Nami was shocked "This is the same island."
