Why? Why? Why?

Why? That damn orangutan!

He wrecked the ship even more!

This ship really has started to fall apart. Maybe it's about time to replace her?

Don't you dare start saying careless things too!

Don't you dare!

We get it, Usopp. There's no need to worry.

The Going Merry is a special part of the team.

Don't you dare!

You...! You...!

So let's work hard and repair the ship!

We...! We get... get... get it!

Luffy, you're such...

Oops.

...an oaf!

To go east from Mock Town, we needed to circle around the island.

We'll reach the spot on the map soon.

That's where that guy... What's his name again?

Mont Blanc Cricket.

So that guy who talks about his big dreams lives there?

A-Amazing!

He lives there?! Isn't that a palace?!

Is this Mont Blanc Cricket guy loaded?!

Idiots! Look closer.

A dreamer, huh?

He's dreamt up quite the appearance, at least.

Why?

What the...?! It's just a board?!

What?!

There's only half a house. The rest is just a veneer.

He's probably a stingy guy.

What kind of dreams did he talk about to get driven out of town?

I'm not sure of the details,

but apparently he claimed that a lot of gold is hidden away in Jaya.

Gold?!

Did some pirate bury treasure here or what?

Well, I don't know.

Gold!

Dig it up, Chopper! Find the gold!

We'll find it by digging?

So he lives alone way out here?

Hello. I'm coming in.

Can't you wait a minute?!

Huh? No one's here.

Hello?!

No answer.

Wait, you idiot! What if this guy's dangerous?

Hey, guys! No one's home!

This is...

a picture book.

It's quite an old book.

It's titled "Noland the Liar."

Wow, what a cool title! That's a great idea for a book!

"Noland the Liar"?

You know it, Sanji?

But it says it was published in the North Blue.

Yeah. I was born in the North Blue.

I've never told you guys, huh?

That's news to me.

I thought you were also from the East.

I only grew up there.

Quiet, Chopper! What are you doing?!

What?!

This story is well-known in the North.

It's a children's story,

but I've heard that this Noland guy really existed once upon a time.

This is a story from long, long ago—

a story that dates back 400 years.

No one believed Noland anymore.

Until his dying breath, Noland continued to lie.

This book is based on the North Blue tale "Noland the Liar."

Mock Town, Jaya

Mont Blanc Cricket is a descendant of that Mont Blanc Noland?!

I heard that story a lot when I was a kid.

There isn't anyone in the North Blue who doesn't know that tale.

We're all from the North Blue, so we often got told

that if we lied a lot, we'd be sentenced to death like Noland.

This is getting even more interesting!

I'd never have guessed the island in that children's tale was Jaya.

And after 400 years, Noland the Liar's descendant

is looking for the gold on this island, huh?

All to clear the name of a lying ancestor who was a joke until he died.

This family cracks me up!

Does he really think he can clear the name

of his 400-year-old ancestor by bringing back a bit of gold?!

Sounds like he has a few screws loose!

Unfortunately for the liar, he died...

before he could ever become a brave warrior of the sea.

Don't look at me!

And don't go adding a tragic sentence of your own!

Luffy fell into the sea!

What are you doing?!

Who the hell are you?!

You've got guts relaxing uninvited

Pirate Mont Blanc Cricket Saruyama Alliance's Last Boss

at someone's house!

These are my waters!

Hey, Usopp! Go grab Luffy!

Okay!

You're after the gold, aren't you? Time to die!

– Sanji! – Sanji!

Don't worry. It didn't hit me.

Hold on!

Idiot. Don't underestimate your opponent.

Move! I'll handle this!

Hey, what were you doing?!

I saw bubbles coming out of the water.

So I went to check it out, and then a chestnut appeared.

But the chestnut was actually a guy, and he dragged me into the water.

Hey, it's you!

Bring more cold towels! Open up the windows!

Divers' disease?

Is this guy sick?

Yeah, it's a sickness that divers sometimes get.

It doesn't usually develop into a chronic condition though.

Due to a lack of decompression when surfacing from the seabed,

nitrogen dissolved in the blood is released fast and forms gas bubbles.

Since gas bubbles expand inside and outside of blood vessels,

they can cause blood flow, muscle, and joint problems.

So it's a weird mystery, huh?

He probably kept diving every day without taking time

for those bubbles to dissipate from his body.

What for?!

I don't know, but it's dangerous.

In some cases, divers' sickness can...

cause death.

Oh hey, it's you, Masira. So you're alive.

Alive? What are you talking about?

Never mind. What was that gunfire about, anyway?

Yeah, brother! Do you think something's up with the boss?

Let's hurry! I'm getting worried!

– Boss! Are you all right?! – Boss! Are you all right?!

They've come to kill us!

What are you guys doing here?!

What did you do to the boss?!

Huh? We're helping this guy right now, so go away.

Dummy! They aren't going to listen to reason!

They're savages, you know!

You know!

Everyone, jump through the windows!

– You... – You...

– people are so nice! – people are so nice!

They're listening!

You guys live here, too?

Well, the house the boss lives in is the Saruyama Alliance's headquarters.

But we sleep on our ships most of the time

because this house is too cramped for us.

It's because you guys are too big.

But compared to those giants, you look like clumps of earwax.

Why are they getting along so well?

I guess they've got a lot in common.

But it's amazing how you punted him so far when you're all so small!

Oh? You could do it too.

You think so?

Yup. It comes with being a monkey.

Luffy, he's come around!

He's awake?!

Hey, he's right. Masira went flying.

Hey, chestnut head! I wanna ask you something!

Sorry I caused you trouble.

I thought you were just more jerks after the gold.

What?! You have gold?

Don't you dare.

What is it that you want to ask me?

We wanna go to the sky island! Please tell us how to get there!

Sky island?

You guys believe in the sky island?

Hey, stop it! He's sick!

Isn't there a sky island?!

No one knows.

I know of someone who said there is,

but everyone came to know him as a big liar,

and his family turned into a laughingstock.

It's not me!

There's a well-known, old story from the North Blue.

It's called "Noland the Liar."

Like I said, it's not me! Our names are different, right?!

You're related?!

Could this place be the island from that story?!

He's my great, great, great...

He's a distant ancestor of mine.

What a nuisance.

I doubt there's a drop of his blood in my body.

The Mont Blanc family was driven out of their country and kept a low profile,

yet people continue to denounce our name to this day.

But no one in the family hates him.

Why?

Because Noland was an incredibly honest person.

But in that picture book...

Noland's last moment in the picture book was an explanation:

"That's it! The mountain of gold sank into the sea!"

The book added that dopey facial expression...

but his tears never stopped, and he died full of regret.

He was sure that the island they landed on

was the same place he found the remains of a City of Gold: Jaya.

He was certain it couldn't possibly be just a hallucination.

Noland insisted that the ruins submerged due to tectonic shifts,

but everyone thought he was making excuses out of desperation.

Noland was executed in front of the laughing onlookers,

and only the name "Liar" remained.

Oh, I see!

You're looking for the City of Gold to clear the Mont Blanc family's name!

Don't be silly!

Usopp!

I thought I died...

How honest my distant ancestor was, or how great an explorer he was,

has nothing to do with me!

Can you understand how a kid would feel being laughed at by strangers

just for being related to such an idiot?!

That's how I grew up!

But... yeah.

Over the past 400 years, many set sail to restore our family's honor,

though all of them went missing.

I was ashamed of such a family.

I ran away from home and became a pirate.

Oh? You're a pirate, too?

It's not that I wanted to become a pirate.

I just wanted to escape from Noland's curse.

And over time, I put together my own pirate crew.

At long last, I entered the Grand Line.

I spent all my time on adventures.

But ten years ago, my ship reached this island by accident.

I hated the Mont Blanc family and Noland more than anyone,

but strangely enough, I'm the only one that made it here.

Just like the picture book said, this island didn't have a City of Gold.

As I stood on an island cape, it felt like destiny.

There was nowhere left to run.

Let's settle this, Noland!

Hell no, Captain!

We want nothing to do with your family's problems!

If you insist on searching for the gold, do it alone!

We're parting ways here. Farewell, Captain.

If it's there, that's fine. If it's not there, that's fine, too.

It's not that I want to prove his innocence.

This is a duel with the man who screwed up my life.

Before I die, I want to set the record straight.

What a man.

Then what about them? Why are those monkeys here?

That must've also been an exciting drama

spoken with the fists of men committed to exploring the seabed!

They're fans of the picture book.

Fans?!

That's quite a simple connection.

I think it was five or six years ago.

They heard a rumor about me and barged in.

They said, "We think Noland's gold really exists!"

Shojo!

You're going down after kicking me so suddenly!

That's a wild accusation, Masira!

Don't make me angry!

The sea around here is deep.

In the dark and cold waters, you're haunted by a deeper solitude.

I simply dove and searched day by day on my own.

Then they barged into my life,

romping around and becoming my underlings without permission.

Single-minded idiots like them...

put me at ease, honestly.

Do you understand?

I do. Yeah, real comrades give each other strength and...

That's enough monkeying around.

Then why even ask?! Just let him finish!

Like I said, I wanna go to the sky island!

You're a hasty one!

Didn't I say the witness to the sky island is that Noland the Liar?

If you have anything to do with him, you'll be laughed at like me.

What?! He's been to the sky island, too?!

Unfortunately, this doesn't say he went there, but...

A logbook?! Could it be Noland's?

That's right.

Read, starting there.

Amazing. A logbook from 400 years ago.

Year 1120 of the pelagic calendar, June 21st, clear skies.

We left a cheerful town named Villa.

Per the log pose, we should be heading east-northeast from the port.

We got a rare item from a merchant that we came across during the day.

It's a ski-like, one-person boat called a waver.

It's a mysterious craft that can move on a still day by creating its own wind.

It takes some effort to ride though. I never figured it out.

Right now, it's become the perfect toy for my crew.

No way! What's this? I want it!

Forget it! Keep reading!

It's powered by an item found only on the sky island.

I hear that many peculiar things like that exist in the sky.

Speaking of the sky island,

one of my explorer friends showed me a live sky fish.

I was surprised at how strange the fish looked.

Sky fish?

To our ship, it's still an unknown area,

but as a sailor, I'd like to go to the sea in the sky one day.

Mont Blanc Noland.

He said "the sea in the sky"!

It's just like Robin said!

And it seems obvious that people knew about the sky island back then.

So it really does exist!

Alright!

Hey, Boss! How are you feeling?!

Never better!

Glad to hear it!

Boss, this bastard...

Shut up and listen. Do you like those guys?

Why do you ask?

It seems they're intent on going to the sky island at any cost.

Sky island... If they wanna go, there's only one way to get there.

If they try on their own, they'll be dead in a flash, Boss.

Exactly, so why don't we give them a hand?
