As Buggy and his crew were observing the island, a small black dot was rapidly approaching them in the White Sea.
As it got closer, Buggy was the first to notice its movement. The rest of the crew quickly noticed as well, and everyone turned their gaze towards the sea.
As the black dot drew closer, everyone could see what was approaching them. It was a vehicle that looked like a small boat, with a man in his twenties or thirties driving it.
The man's appearance was very unique. He had two tentacles growing from his head, and a pair of small white wings on his back. His eyes were filled with panic, and he saw Buggy and his crew.
"I'm sorry, excuse me. I can't stop. Please move out of the way."
The man shouted from the boat, trying to get Buggy and his crew to move out of his way. He couldn't control the Waver anymore. He was afraid of hurting them. He was very anxious.
Buggy and his crew heard what he was saying. They guessed that he couldn't control the vehicle he was on, and he was charging towards them.
Everyone reacted quickly. As he was about to crash into the shore, they made way for him.
Even if they were hit by the boat, nothing serious would happen. But standing there and letting him hit them would be something only a fool would do.
Under everyone's gaze, the boat quickly drove onto the land made of white clouds.
When the boat drove onto the land made of white clouds, it stopped completely after traveling a short distance. It then spun 360 degrees, and the boat and the man fell onto the clouds.
"Are you all alright?"
The man lay on the ground, not caring about anything else. He first asked if Buggy and his crew were injured because of him.
Everyone was stunned to hear him say this. They also felt a little fondness for him. This man was the one who was injured, but he was the first to ask if they were alright. This kindness was rare in the world of One Piece.
"We're fine."
Out of kindness, everyone answered his question. They were indeed fine. Even if the man's boat had hit them, nothing would have happened.
Under everyone's gaze, the man pushed his boat and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you. Are you from the Blue Sea?"
After standing up, the man apologized again for his actions. Looking at Buggy and his crew's appearance, he knew they weren't from Skypiea. He also guessed that they might be from the Blue Sea.
Hearing him mention the Blue Sea, everyone didn't understand what he meant. But Buggy understood. The Blue Sea was what the Skypieans called the world below Skypiea.
"Yes, we're from the Blue Sea."
"You must have many questions about many things, coming here. The White Sea is a bit scary. I'm sorry."
The man spoke very politely. And after knowing Buggy's situation, he was still concerned about whether they had been frightened in the White Sea.
"We're fine. Thanks for your concern."
Hearing that Buggy and his crew hadn't been frightened, the man smiled. He continued, "I haven't introduced myself. I'm Pagaya. I'm sorry."
Hearing the name Pagaya, Buggy knew who he was. He was Conis' father, a repairman. Luffy and his crew were also hosted by them when they came to Skypiea.
"I'm Buggy, captain of the Red-Haired Pirates. They are my crew."
Since the other party had introduced himself, Buggy and his crew naturally introduced themselves. After Buggy introduced himself, everyone said their names.
After everyone introduced themselves, Pagaya said enthusiastically, "Would you all like to come to my humble abode and have some local delicacies?"
Seeing his sincere smile, everyone didn't refuse his invitation. They also had some questions they wanted to ask him.
Along the way, he also introduced the vehicle he was driving on the sea. This small boat was the most common vehicle in the White Sea. It was called a Waver. It was a sea vehicle powered by a special Skypiean shellfish called the Wind Shell.
Everyone was amazed to see this. They couldn't believe that the boat was powered by a shell. Jessica was even a little eager to try it out.
But after Pagaya's persuasion, she abandoned that idea. Pagaya told everyone that it took ten years to learn how to drive a Waver. And Jessica might not be able to control it. Driving it on the sea was very dangerous. They could capsize at any time.
Buggy and Daddy weren't interested in this. They also persuaded Jessica not to ride the Waver. She was too young. She might fall into the sea as soon as she started driving. It was still dangerous for her.
Under Pagaya's guidance, everyone walked onto a long road made of white steps. He also introduced the material of the steps. They were made of the island's clouds, piece by piece.
Soon, under Pagaya's guidance, they arrived outside a house on the clouds. As soon as they arrived, a small figure quickly ran into Pagaya's arms.
It was Pagaya's daughter, Conis, the angel-like beauty that Luffy and his crew would meet later.
"Father, you're finally back. Father, did you catch any fish?"
Conis looked at Pagaya with expectant eyes, her small eyes occasionally glancing at the fish basket behind him.
"Yes, a bumper harvest."
Pagaya looked at Conis with a doting expression and gently stroked her small head with tentacles.
"Father, who are they? Why don't they have wings and tentacles?"
Conis quickly noticed Buggy and his crew. Her small eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity.
"Conis, these big brothers and sisters are from the Blue Sea. People from the Blue Sea don't have wings and tentacles."
After hearing Pagaya's answer, Conis seemed to understand. She nodded, but she still stared at Buggy and his crew with curious eyes.
Under Pagaya's guidance, everyone entered the house. The interior decoration was also very Skypiean. The sofa was made of white clouds. There were many shells placed in different places. Buggy could tell at a glance that these shells all had their uses.
When Pagaya saw Buggy looking at the shells, he immediately introduced their uses to everyone.
He first picked up a shell that looked like a lump and introduced it to everyone. It was a Sound Shell. It had the ability to record and play back sounds. It was a shell from the White Sea. He told everyone that it lived in the shallow reefs of the cloud sea. He also introduced the Wind Shell, which was the power system of the Waver. And the Light Shell, which was used for lighting. There was also the Flame Shell, which could store flames, acting like an oven.
There was also the Fragrance Shell, which stored aromas. And the Image Shell, which retained images. He also told everyone that there were all kinds of shells like this in Skypiea and that life on Skypiea and the shells were inextricably linked. He also told everyone about Skypiea's culture, which could be said to be a culture that coexisted with the energy of shells.
