The southern waters of Gaya Island.

After three days of preparation, Amber and the others were ready to set off for Sky Island. They sailed the boat to the location where Gaya predicted the rising current and waited.

"Bang!" A huge sound came from under the ship, and the Thunder rushed into the sky along the current.

Time seemed to stand still; it could have been minutes or ten years. In weightlessness, it felt like an eternity.

Finally, the Thunder made it through the clouds and arrived at Sky Island.

"Phew, we finally made it!" Nami, in poor physical condition, exhaled sharply and said, "It feels a little difficult to breathe. Is this altitude sickness?"

"...Phew! Did we successfully reach the legendary Sky Island?" Chopper said with lingering fear, touching his heart cutely.

"It's all white here. Where are we going?" Nami frowned, looking at the white surroundings.

"Let me handle it!" Amber said.

After obtaining the Thunder Fruit and awakening Observation Haki, Amber had practiced according to Enel's Heart Network from the original story.

In the original work, Enel used Observation Haki combined with the Thunder Fruit to create a heart network that could cover the entire Sky Island. Amber might not be able to cover such a wide range yet, having only awakened Haki a few months ago, but it could still cover a significant portion of Sky Island.

Through the heart network, Amber quickly found the way. After pointing out the direction to Nami, the Thunder sailed forward.

After several hours, the Thunder finally arrived at the Gate of Heaven, the entrance to Sky Island.

"Are you here for sightseeing? Or are you here to fight?" An old woman suddenly walked out of a room, taking photos. "No matter where you are from, if you want to go to the top, you must pay an entry fee. One person is one billion ik. This is the law."

"What?" Nami, extremely concerned about money, immediately screamed, "One billion? Where do we have that much money? Are you trying to rob us?"

"You can refuse to pay, but you will be sentenced for illegal entry," Amazon said calmly.

"Nami, the money here isn't equivalent to the money below. Leave it to me," Amber said, patting Nami on the shoulder.

Amber didn't want to cause too much trouble. With no bosses to fight on Sky Island and nothing valuable except the historical text and the gold, Amber wanted to get it done quickly.

"How much does it cost to exchange one billion ikes for Baileys?" Amber asked calmly.

"The conversion to Bailey is one to half a million," Amazon replied.

Amber tossed out a bag with just enough Baileys.

"Okay, you can go in!" Amazon said, opening the door.

After passing the Gate of Heaven, the Thunder was sandwiched by Sky Island's specialty "Express Shrimp" and moved rapidly along the cloud path. After dozens of seconds, the Thunder flew out of the Jet Cloud.

After the Thunder docked, everyone got off the ship.

Feeling the strange sensation from the clouds under their feet, even Amber, who had read the original work, found it magical and had to admire the miraculous imagination of the creator god Oda.

"I didn't expect there to be plants on Sky Island! But they seem a little different from the plants below. Is it because it's closer to the sun? Or is there something different about the soil here?" Robin, a scholar studying history, said in surprise, her unparalleled curiosity piqued by the unknown.

"There's a girl over there. Let's go ask her!"

"Hello!" Amber greeted first.

"Hello... are you from blue sea?" The girl didn't react at first, then smiled and responded.

Everyone finally saw the girl's appearance clearly. She had long light golden hair, a cute pink dress, a belt around her slender waist, and, most incredibly, a pair of small wings on her back.

"Is this the legendary angel?" Chopper said naively.

"Yes, we are from Qinghai. My name is Amber, and they are..." Amber replied with a smile, introducing the crew to the girl one by one.

"Welcome to Angel Beach in the Kingdom of God. My name is Conis," the girl introduced herself.

"Conis, Hasso," a middle-aged man said, approaching in a strange vehicle called a Weiba by the people of Sky Island.

"Father, Hasso," Conis responded happily.

The man enthusiastically mentioned he had caught a lot of fish at sea and invited Amber and the others to come to their home as guests.

Amber thought it would be a shame to turn down the free meal, so she agreed.

Everyone returned to the Thunder, followed the Viper, and soon arrived at Conis's home.

Conis's home was on the edge of the town. It was not small and had a large balcony overlooking the sea of ​​clouds.

The man ran to the kitchen to cook while Conis stayed to entertain everyone. With Conis' introduction, they gradually began to understand the life and customs of Sky Island.

They also learned about Sky Island's specialty, "Energy Shells."

These shells had many uses, making life on Sky Island almost inseparable from them.

Energy Shells were divided into many types, including the jet shells installed behind the Viper, the fire shells the man used to cook, and various other strange shellfish, which surprised everyone.

Soon, the man prepared the dishes, and everyone ate in a happy atmosphere.

After eating, Nami told Conis about their adventure in blue sea, and Conis' eyes lit up.

"I really envy your adventurous life!" Conis said.

"Then do you want to go on an adventure with us?" Amber asked casually.

The others froze, then looked at Amber with knowing eyes.

"Hey, hey! What's with that expression?" Amber shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Captain, it's not enough that you have Nami, you forced Robin to join the pirate group, and now you invite another girl when you see her. Aren't you afraid of trouble?" Zoro complained.

"What nonsense! Who's a stupid captain?" Before Amber could reply, Nami's face turned red, and she stood up, shouting at Zoro.

"Hehe! It seems Mr. Captain is in trouble!" Robin covered her mouth and laughed.

"What nonsense are you guys talking about? I just want to invite Conis on an adventure," Amber said with a black line on his face.

"I, I can't. I don't know anything," Conis said shyly.

"Um, can you cook?" Nami asked, looking at Conis expectantly.

"I learned from my father," Conis nodded honestly.

Thinking of the meal the man had just cooked, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Conis, come on an adventure with us!" Nami suddenly said seriously, holding Conis' hand.

After tasting the delicious food, Nami didn't want to go back to the daily routine of plain food on the ship.
