Chapter 97: You didn
The smoking man took a deep breath,
waved his hand with a dashing look,
and said:
“Hey, don’t be so polite, we’re brothers!”
“One hundred thousand berries will do!”
Hearing this,
the man who called himself Awang instantly froze,
opened his mouth,
and for a moment didn’t know what to say!
Seeing this,
the smoking man frowned slightly,
and continued:
“I saved your life, one hundred thousand berries isn’t much, is it!”
“Don’t tell me you think your life isn’t worth one hundred thousand berries?”
Awang had already reacted by now,
and cursed at the smoking man:
“Fine! I knew it, you f***ing had your eyes on my berries all along! I, Awang, misjudged you this time! From now on, our brotherhood is severed, we are no longer brothers!”
“Hey, “767” brother or not doesn’t matter, just give me the one hundred thousand berries!”
“Screw you! Get the f*** away from me, don’t pull my clothes!”
“I’m pulling, so what? Trying to welch on the debt? Impossible!”
“You f***ing touch me again and see what happens!”
“Try me!”
“I’ll f***ing kill you!”
“You dare to make a move? I’ll f***ing let you hit me!”
…………
Let’s not talk about the fight outside the tavern for now,
at this moment,
inside the tavern,
the eyes of the Straw Hat crew were all fixed on Li Xiao,
and Nami was no exception!
At this time,
she was still subconsciously muttering,
only the words she was muttering were different,
changing from eight hundred million berries to eight billion berries!
The more she muttered, the brighter the light in her eyes became,
Li Xiao almost thought she had stolen Huang Yuan’s Glint-Glint Fruit!
This desire for berries
was truly carved into her DNA,
almost solidifying!
It was absurd!
In the end,
it was Luo Bin who asked first:
“You mean, the Sky Island really exists?”
Li Xiao nodded,
and added:
“A part of the Sky Island is actually half of the old Jaya Island, just like the legend you heard on Jaya, it’s covered in gold!”
“And, there is a Poneglyph left there!”
When she heard the last four words Li Xiao said,
Luo Bin, who had always remained calm, couldn’t help but get excited,
and hurriedly asked:
“A Poneglyph? Really? How do you know?”
“Naturally it’s true, as for why I know…”
“Hmm… after I left Alabasta, I went to the Sky Island!”
Hearing this,
Usopp, who was nearby, chimed in,
and asked:
“So what is the Sky Island actually like?”
“The Sky Island, well, it’s a very beautiful place, you’ll know the specifics once you go!”
As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking,
Nami asked another question.
“Then, where are you planning to go next?”
Hearing this,
Li Xiao habitually ruffled Nami’s hair,
and smiled:
“Of course I’m going to the Sky Island with you!”
Nami was slightly taken aback,
and subconsciously asked:
“But haven’t you already been there?”
Li Xiao laughed,
and said with some helplessness:
“Who says you can’t go a second time just because you’ve been there once?”
“The Knock-Up Stream isn’t that safe, if something really goes wrong, I can ensure your safety if I’m there!”
“Besides, I happen to need to go back to the Sky Island to handle some things!”
After confirming that Li Xiao would follow them to the Sky Island,
a smile clearly appeared on Nami’s face!
The other members of the Straw Hat crew were also happy to see this,
after all, with a great god like Li Xiao around,
their sense of security had increased by more than just one level!
Only Luffy,
because Li Xiao had questioned his intelligence just now,
was throwing a bit of a tantrum and didn’t want Li Xiao to follow!
And the consequence was…
well,
he was punched by Nami again!
Speaking of which,
although Nami had never had contact with Garp,
this method of punching Luffy and the others
was exactly like Garp’s Fist of Love!
…………
After the group rested in the tavern for a while,
they set off to find the descendant of Norland—Mont Blanc Cricket!
After all,
they still needed his help to find the Knock-Up Stream!
Although with Li Xiao’s current strength,
he could fly to the Sky Island by riding the clouds,
but dragging the entire Straw Hat Pirates along
was somewhat unrealistic!
Plus, Luffy and the others weren’t comfortable leaving the Going Merry alone on Jaya,
therefore,
everyone still planned to ride the Knock-Up Stream
to the Sky Island ten thousand meters above!
When Luffy and his group found Cricket,
Cricket was quite impatient!
However,
when he saw Li Xiao in the crowd,
he instantly widened his eyes,
and subconsciously shouted:
“It’s you!”
The last time Li Xiao went to the Sky Island,
it was with Cricket’s help that he found the Knock-Up Stream!
At that time,
Cricket had seen with his own eyes this man before him
board a simple, makeshift small wooden boat,
shoot into the sky with the Knock-Up Stream,
and disappear from his field of vision!
After that,
Cricket waited for many days,
but never had any news of Li Xiao!
Later,
he concluded
that Li Xiao’s small wooden boat
must have fallen apart under the impact of the Knock-Up Stream,
and that he himself had likely perished!
However,
what he didn’t expect was that,
just today,
he had actually seen Li Xiao again!
Cricket rushed to Li Xiao with great excitement,
and while looking him over, said:
“You didn’t die!”
Hearing this, 2.8
a black line couldn’t help but appear on Li Xiao’s forehead!
What do you mean “you didn’t die,”
how much did you want me to die!
Seeming to realize that what he said was wrong,
Cricket hurriedly explained:
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean that, I meant…”
“Uh, right, did you see the Sky Island?”
Originally, Cricket was just changing the subject
to ease his awkward situation,
however,
what he didn’t expect was that,
Li Xiao actually nodded,
and said:
“The Sky Island, it does indeed exist!”
Hearing this,
Cricket was instantly stunned,
and then hurriedly asked:
“What did you say? You’ve seen the Sky Island?”
