Just then, Nami let out a sharp cry and suddenly stood up.
With an unusual glint in her eyes, everyone unconsciously turned their heads, their gazes instantly drawn to her.
"Nami, what's wrong? Did you find something?"
Lin Ning frowned slightly, seeing Nami's reaction, he vaguely felt that something was amiss.
Nami tightly clutched the book, Mont Blanc Noland, in her hand, her excited eyes scanning around, a determined gleam in them:
"I've long suspected it. Why would there be islands in the Sky Island that are similar to those below? Why would these islands even have soil and plants?
Only now have I found the true answer!"
"What is it? What is it?" Luffy immediately became excited upon hearing this.
His eyes shone like two stars, eager to know.
His companions on the side also gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity.
Nami took a deep breath, waved the book and the ancient map in her hand, and excitedly said:
"It turns out the legend of Mont Blanc Noland is true, the Golden City — it really exists!"
When she mentioned the words "Golden City", the golden light in her eyes was like the dawn sun, brilliant and dazzling.
The name "Golden City" had long stirred an infinite longing in her heart, and now she had finally found proof.
Luffy, after hearing this, also jumped up excitedly, his laughter echoing through the sky:
"Gold? Adventure? Hahahaha! This is great, I can't wait!"
Nami continued: "Through this period of exploration and comparison in the Sky Island, I finally understand.
These islands in the Sky Island are actually the other half of Jaya Island.
The Golden City mentioned in the book is not a legend at all, but a real existence!
And the reason no one could find it all those years was because the Golden City was carried to the Sky Island by the Knock Up Stream!"
These words were like a bombshell, exploding with a roar.
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with shock.
The Sky Island is actually part of Jaya Island below? The Golden City is actually real?
This completely overturned their previous understanding!
Luffy paused for a moment, then looked up, his eyes shining with an adventurer's fervor:
"Gold! This kind of adventure is what I've been waiting for! Hahaha, it's getting more and more exciting!"
Nami was also infected by this enthusiasm, clenching her fists, she said with radiant spirits:
"That's right, this is the adventure we want! The direction to Sky Island is clear, we're going to find gold!"
"Haha, it looks like I'm also getting a little restless."
Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, curled a sly smile at the corner of his lips, "With treasure right in front of them, how could pirates easily miss it?"
Zoro was leaning to the side, his hands clasped behind his head.
A barely noticeable hint of excitement appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It's getting more and more interesting."
"Good!" Luffy finally couldn't hold back, he suddenly stood up, raising his arms high:
"It's decided! We're going to beat that Roux, and go find gold! Hahaha, what an adventure!!!"
Then, everyone started to get busy, preparing for the upcoming dinner.
The scent of burning charcoal filled the air, the broth in the pot was bubbling, and a rich aroma gradually wafted out.
Luffy sat by the campfire, his hands clasped behind his head, his face, which had been excited, was now filled with boredom:
"So boring! Why isn't it ready yet!"
Sanji heard this and stopped his movements.
He looked up and glanced at Luffy, saying impatiently:
"Hey, I just asked you to watch the fire, and you're already impatient? What a useless guy."
As soon as his voice fell, a rustling sound came from a distance.
Immediately after, Chopper's excited voice rang out:
"Sanji, we got a lot of stuff back!"
Chopper was seen running excitedly, carrying a basket full of ingredients, with Lin Ning and Zoro behind him.
Chopper put the basket on the ground and said happily:
"Look, there are walnuts, aloe, bananas, and even garlic!"
"Oh? Not bad!" Sanji nodded, then saw Zoro walking over, carrying two huge frogs and a plump rat.
He casually threw them on the ground, and said in a casual tone: "I caught some meat, frogs and rats, fresh enough, right?"
Sanji glanced at them, and nodded without hesitation: "Good, throw them into the pot to stew together!"
However, just then, Nami, who was concentrating on researching the exact location of the Golden City.
Upon hearing about the fresh ingredients Zoro brought, she suddenly looked up, her face instantly becoming incredulous.
Her brows furrowed fiercely, then she suddenly stood up and roared:
"Hey! Wait a minute! I just heard some strange ingredients!"
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Sanji then came to his senses, scratched his head, and showed a helpless smile.
He said in a flattering tone: "Ah haha, you're right, I was really too careless!
Miss Nami, are you... don't like garlic?"
"No! That's not the problem!" Nami's veins popped on her forehead, her fists clenched.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the side.
"What happened, Navigator Young Miss?"
Robin walked over, carrying a large piece of crystal clear crystal.
Under the sunlight, the crystal reflected brilliant light.
Nami saw it at a glance, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Even her anger from just now was diluted by this beautiful sight, and she asked in surprise:
"Wow, Robin, what are you holding? Is it a gem?"
Robin smiled slightly, gently flipped the crystal, and said:
"It's very beautiful, isn't it? Unfortunately, it's not a gem."
Sanji's eyes narrowed, then he showed a look of sudden realization:
"This is a salt crystal, right? Young Miss Robin, your taste is truly unique!"
Robin nodded slightly: "I found it by the lake, with it, cooking will be even more convenient."
"That's right." Sanji weighed the crystal in his hand, and said with a smile,
"Salt is something that is closely related to our lives, with this, tonight's meal will be even more perfect."
However, as soon as his voice fell, the smile on his face disappeared, and he suddenly turned his head.
His gaze sharply fixed on Zoro, and he said in an unfriendly tone: "Hey, Swordsman, you're free, aren't you? Give me a hand."
Zoro frowned, and asked cautiously: "What do you want to do?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Sanji pointed to the wooden rack next to him, "Your sword can serve as a temporary support, help me set up a grill."
Zoro's face instantly darkened, veins pulsed on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth:
"Hey hey, my sword isn't for that!"
Sanji snorted coldly, his tone unyielding:
"Shut up! If you dare to disobey the cook's orders, don't expect to eat!"
Zoro's mouth twitched, and he finally sighed helplessly, muttering: "Damn cook..."
