Much like where the first arrived into the White Sea, the Merry had burst through the clouds and was sent up high after the shrimp had released it. Soon she came landing back onto the sea of clouds. "An Island!" Luffy spotted this as he shouted to the others. "IT'S SKY ISLAND!" And right before them was a White Island that appeared to had greener on it as well. Everyone was looking on in amazement as they were sailing for th island.
"Hey... That sign said... Skypiea." Robin spoken up, remembering the sign she read upon the exit.
"Yeah! The same name that was written on the map Luffy found!" She had been responded by Nami, who remember the map. "The galleon that fell on us... really did come here!" She was extremely surprised and excited by this. "They saw this same sight 200 years ago!" It was long before the Going Merry made it to the shore where she had to stop.
"What is this place? It just reeks of adventure!" Before anyone could stop him, Luffy jumped off the figure head down into the sea.
"Idiot! Hold on!" Which had Usopp jumping after him, since the young man was able to swim due to his Devil Fruit.
"It's shallow enough to stand." However, the captain was completely fine as he was standing with the cloud reaching his ankles. The snipped on the other hand land head fist into the sea as he was ready to dive. "Oi, you okay?" This was asked to him, since his nose was now the only thing sticking out after his body fell under. "Usopp!" Soon, Usopp had come to sit up stunned by the fact that they weren't sinking like before.
"Is this island made of that fluffy cloud?" He asked this question up as Luffy for some reason.
"Feels like it!"
"It's the fluffy cloud!"
"Let's go ashore!" "Sky Island!"
"Me too, me too!"
"Wait for me!" Lián was about to jump down as well, if she hadn't been grabbed from behind.
"Not before you change to something dry." It had been Jián, who had spoken and told her. The reason he said this was due to the fact that their clothes were quite damped due to the passing through of all the clouds.
"What!?" She appeared to be disappointed, however, it appeared that he wasn't giving her any choice as he began dragging her down the stairs.
"I'm gonna go change too!" Nami told this to the others before following after the pair.
"Oi, Luffy! What about the anchor? There's no bottom here, right?" Zoro shouted this question to the shore line.
"Aw, who cares?" Had been his response after making it to the shore and turning around.
"Yeah, who cares?" Usopp had pushed him playfully, repeating the words.
"Who cares?" But Luffy pushed back laughing.
"Take this!" Then the two of them repeated pushing one another for fun.
"Me too, me too!" Chopper wanted to join in, as he was running toward them both.
"Hey, c'mon! This beach is fluffy!" Zoro had been shouted at before he grabbed ahold of the anchor and dropped it, as the guys were playing around.
"Man, this scenery is a real eye opener." The swordsman came to say as he turned back to the island before them. "It's like a dream."
"Yeah, got that right." Sanji began heading toward the outer railing as he agreed. "And the way they're enjoying themselves... you just can't help yourself." But the cook was no different then the trio already on land, as he taken off his shoes and leaped into the clouds with excitement.
You're doing it too." This only had Zoro looking at him with disbelief.
"Sorry! Im sorry!" Until the sound of Nami screaming caused him to turn around and see her being attacked by the Southbird they had used to get to the Knock-Up Stream, but it soon took off to the sky. "We brought the Southbird with us. We forgot to release him."
"It looks like people live here too." She had been told after the swordsman looked into the distance of the island and was able to see man-made objects. "We don't have to worry about him." Stating that someone might pity it and take the bird in. "Birds can take care of themselves."
"Oh yeah." Nami appeared to have then remembered something. "What about the anchor?" She was now looking up to Zoro asking.
"It stuck into the cloud. Those fluffy clouds are the ground of this island." Had been the answer given.
"Then that means this island is floating on the sea..." both of them had turned around upon hearing Robin speaking. "...but I wonder if it always stays in the same place." She had followed Nami and came out from the storage room in a new set of clothing.
"I understood none of that!" The voice belonging Lián joined the conversation.
"I would be surprised if you did." And of course, Jián was right beside her and the others tuned to them standing in new clothing.Though, both of them were bare footed, much like Nami and Robin were. "Are you calling me stupid?" Lián appeared to be upset by the statement her bother had said after she said she didn't understand.
"I calling you carefree." But he didn't seem to worry about that as he answered her question.
"You're right about that!" And she seemed fine with the answer after a few minutes after he spoke it. "But enough of this talking!" Lián shouted as she took off towards the side of the Going Merry all excited.
"She's right, nothing to do by try." Nami was in agreement as she followed after her. "The truth is there are lots of things here that are hard to believe. But at least we know we're arrived at Sky Island." And with that being said both the girls jumped into the clouds, only to find themselves standing with the clouds reaching their ankles. "Look!" The navigator shouted up to those left on the ship. "I've felt it myself! There's nothing to be scared of!"
"Nothing!" While Lián began running around in the sea as she wasn't sinking. "Hurry up! It feels really soft and nice!" She was waving up to the others as Nami took off.
"What about you?" This question had been asked up to Zoro, as he didn't appear to be moving.
"Yeah, I'm coming." His answer had been after turning around and looking down to Robin and Jián.
"The smell of adventure..." the dark hair woman's eyes had fallen onto the shore where Nami had made it. "Navigating and landing are an adventure. I've never thought of them that way." Then turned to climb the side of the Merry, only see a hand being held down towards her. When she looked up, she obviously saw that it was Jián that was offering his hand to her. "Thank you." She grabbed onto it and was gently pulled up where they then jumped down into the sea. The moment that Jián landed, Lián leaped onto the his back.
"To shore!" She pointed ahead of them, to the cloud shore.
"Yeah, yeah." He appeared to have given up on fighting her in the slightest. As they were heading toward the shore if Sky Island, Skypiea.
