So apparently, they knew a guy. He was like a direct descendant of Nolan the Liar or something. When they arrived at his house, the old man seemed to be prepping to go in the water.
Though upon noticing who they were here with, the old man seemed more friendly.
"Old man, can you coat our ship? We're going to Skypea."
The old man paused. The hell did this kid mean?
"Don't waste your time, kid. That place doesn't exist."
"It does. Kairo went there, and we're going there."
The man was confused. Who the hell was Kairo? He then gazed at the 12-foot-tall man next to Luffy (Transformation Jutsu).
"And my ancestor is Nolan the Liar," the man said sarcastically, as if he would ever believe that.
Kairo turned to Luffy.
"Where's the sky fish?"
Luffy, who was currently seen eating some delicious fish, looked at Kairo and said,
"What fish?"
....
Kairo didn't say shit. It wasn't worth the oxygen.
"There's a city in the clouds. I met someone by the name of Wyper. He claimed to be a descendant of Kalgara. His greatest wish was to ring the bell in order to do what his ancestor couldn't."
The man paused. That name... it was in the book.
"From what I gathered, 400 years ago, Shandia—which used to be part of Jaya—was launched into the air due to the Knock-Up Stream. If my guess is correct, some of their leftover gold should still be at the bottom of the ocean, including some of a bird who faces south, along with other stuff."
Kairo's brow furrowed. He got that info, but at what price?
The man seemed to freeze a bit. Were those tears coming out of his eyes? Kairo was confused. Why the hell was the man crying?
"If you still don't believe me, I can get you there." His white wings could be seen.
"Since when were your wings white?"
Luffy was confused. Weren't that guy's wings like black or something? The same color as Armament Haki or some shit like that.
The man chuckled a bit, then turned it into a full-blown laugh.
"Nolan the Liar..." He paused.
"I told you the Sky Island existed, old man!" Masira said all happy. He was right, hahaha! He was damn right. He was right, and his old man was wrong.
"Gold Island!"
Kairo looked at the scene. When the fuck did Luffy and Usopp join this bitch? Wasn't it just an emotional second ago? And now they were dancing like nothing ever happened.
There was an island nearby. Kairo was planning on getting some stuff while Usopp and Luffy were doing their bullshit.
"Nami, you need anything?" he asked.
She opened her mouth and said,
"Toilet paper."
"Sanji?"
"We're running out of spices."
"Zoro?"
"Booze and training weights."
"Luffy?"
"MEAT!"
He didn't even know why he bothered asking. Of course, it was meat.
"Oh, you're going shopping? May I tag along?"
Kairo realized he was fucked. Well, damn. So this is how it felt to get fucked with no lube, huh? Well, he didn't like it. Like, at all.
"Sure, Robin," he said, feeling a bit tense. It was fine. He'd just be alone with Robin for a bit. What could be the worst thing to happen? And thus Kairo and Robin made their way to the town.
The whole town's economy seemed to run on pirates spending their money in this bitch, and apparently the pirate with the highest bounty on this island was someone with a bounty of 55 million Berry. That was quite a lot of Berry.
The Bellamy pirates seemed to be ruthless. Kairo made a single hand seal, and his shape changed, turning into David. Yes, he looked like his previous self now.
"Transformation. Quite a convenient spell," she said, looking at how he changed shape.
"It's an easy enough skill. If you wish, I can teach it to you."
Her brow furrowed.
"You seem very willing to share your skills. Isn't it sacred to you?" she questioned as they walked into the village.
"Well, whether it was sacred or not, I am the last living member of my tribe. I'd rather pass on my knowledge so that it doesn't die with me," he said casually.
"I... see."
Hm. Did he hit a chord or something? Nah, he was sure there was nothing in his tone of voice that hit anything. He was a strong man.
Anyway, the shopping went light. As he hit the bar, though, to get some booze—you know, the shit Zoro wanted—it appeared they had the worst luck ever as they ran into Bellamy himself. The guy was drinking booze and having fun. Oh well, Kairo simply ignored the guy. His crew could glaze him all they wanted. He was a small fry.
"Four bottles of booze, please," he ordered.
Robin opened her mouth and said,
"You are sure Zoro will not drink more?"
He paused a bit.
"Eight barrels of booze, please."
The shopkeeper nodded and went to the back. The bar was strangely quiet.
"Oh, they must have a death wish..." someone muttered.
He didn't even bother to care about hearing the shit they were saying.
As the eight barrels of booze came, he took out his wallet and was going to pay until he felt wine being poured on his head.
"Dipshit, didn't you hear? I'm using the bar, so unless you're a member of my crew, fuck off."
Kairo was mere inches away from touching his blade but calmed himself down.
"Oh, my apologies. I didn't know," he said, acting quite meek, as if he wasn't a trained killer who could murder everyone in the bar without wasting a single breath.
Bellamy laughed a bit. Kairo heard some murmurs about "poor kid" and Bellamy picking on someone else again.
Oh, so this wasn't his first rodeo... cool.
"Your parents must have never taught you any manners." The man pulled on his hair.
"So listen to me: when you're not invited, you don't come in."
The man pushed him away, and as everyone laughed, Kairo kept the meek personality up. There was no need to crash out yet.
