The next morning, the Dream Team woke up early to get ready.
Today was the day they would all ascend together.
Just thinking about seeing the legendary Skycurrent in person at noon and riding it to an island in the sky made everyone feel excited and full of anticipation.
It felt like they were about to embark on an adventurous journey, and everything seed so enchanting.
"Boss, make breakfast a bit more substantial today. At least 200 servings per person!" Ryuen said seriously to the innkeeper.
"Don't worry, sir. Your companion already made the request last night. We can serve the al now," the innkeeper said, rubbing his hands together in a friendly manner.
The group had been staying at his inn for a few days, and he had earned quite a bit of money from them. Plus, today he could settle the final paynt.
That was what really got him excited!
The others looked at Robin, surprised that she had already made arrangents last night.
"Wow~~~ As expected, Robin's always the most thoughtful~~~" Leah said, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at Robin.
"Hehehe~~~"
"Boss, hurry up and bring the breakfast! My friends can't wait to dig in," Robin said with a cheerful smile.
"Got it, got it! I'll prepare it right away!" The innkeeper quickly responded, his face beaming with enthusiasm.
He quickly turned around and told his staff to speed up, ensuring the breakfast would be delivered to everyone as soon as possible.
Since they needed to prepare food for over a thousand people, it was no small task. The innkeeper had to get a large team to help with the preparations.
From cooking to plating, every step needed careful planning and coordination.
They had been busy since early morning, even before dawn, and only finished preparing the food just as the guests were waking up.
Serving the al was now another huge task.
There was so much food that many people were needed just to bring it to the table.
Even so, the innkeeper kept up his cheerful and efficient attitude, making sure every dish was served to the guests on ti.
A few minutes later, the Dream Team started eating eagerly.
One dish after another was quickly devoured, and the plates on the table were empty in no ti.
While enjoying the delicious food, everyone shared their thoughts and feelings with each other.
Ti passed quietly, and after two hours, over a thousand servings of food had been completely wiped out by the Dream Team.
The scene left the innkeeper speechless, completely stunned.
Even though he had prepared the food as requested, seeing it all eaten so quickly still amazed him.
At this mont, everyone was rubbing their round bellies, wearing happy smiles.
"Ah~~~"
"I'm full, I'm full! Boss, the food you made today was really delicious. Well done!"
"Nami, give a tip," he said, putting on the airs of a rich young master and casually waving his hand.
Nami imdiately rolled her eyes at him and snapped, "A tip? Dream on!"
Then, she turned to the innkeeper with a sweet smile and said, "Sir, could you please calculate how much more Beri we need to pay? And please, don't overcharge us."
Her voice was gentle, but the innkeeper still felt a chill run down his spine.
A short while later, the Dream Exploration Team checked out of the villa inn, looking very satisfied.
All that was left behind was the innkeeper, who looked deeply resentful.
After all the work he had put in over the past few days, he realized he hadn't made much profit at all.
~~~~~~
"Ryuen, we need to set sail now!"
Soon, it was ti to depart, and Nami had already noticed that the weather around Jaya Island was changing rapidly.
Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, but then excitent spread across their faces.
"Alright!"
"This ti, let's accomplish the feat that no one has achieved in over 400 years. Let's set sail..." Ryuen declared, but imdiately regretted it.
He had forgotten that Roger, that big idiot, had also been to Skypiea, and everyone knew about it.
How awkward...
"Big idiot~~~"
Nami said coolly, and then everyone walked past Ryuen, heading toward the port of Jaya Island.
"Ahahaha~~~"
"Wait for !" Ryuen let out an awkward laugh and quickly caught up with his crew.
As the Dream Exploration Team approached the port, the crowd instantly fell silent. They obediently moved to the sides, clearing a path.
This was all because of Kuina's two flying sword slashes from the day before.
No one dared to make a sound. It wasn't until the Dream Exploration Team boarded their ship that the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief—and then erupted in excitent.
"These devils are finally leaving Jaya Island!" That was the thought on everyone's mind.
The Dream Team could tell what the people at the port were thinking just by looking at their faces.
But no one cared. After all, none of them were exactly saints.
As the Dream Ship left the port, the people on the shore burst into cheers of joy.
So jumped up in excitent, others waved their arms wildly, and a few even whistled. The scene was lively and full of energy.
Everyone couldn't wait to run to the tavern to celebrate this happy mont!
"Whoo~~~"
"Clang!!!"
But just then, an incredibly sharp slash cut through the sky like a bolt of lightning, instantly splitting Jaya Island with a thousand-ter-long crack!
"Devil... devil..."
"They're really devils!"
"So... so terrifying. Are they even human...?"
The people by the harbor stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with fear as they looked at the huge crack that had been cut open before them.
The people who had planned to go to the tavern to celebrate the Dream Exploration Team's departure all stopped in their tracks, as if frozen in place by a spell, unable to move.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing, their hearts filled with terror and awe.
~~~~~~
On the Dream ship, the group looked at the situation on the island and started laughing so hard their stomachs hurt.
Even Ryuen hadn't expected Kuina to surprise the people of Kaya Island at the last mont.
As the Dream ship moved away from Kaya Island, the weather grew more oppressive, and Nami nervously calculated the weather changes every minute.
Ryuen called over a group of birds and spoke to them, passing the information to Nami.
Soon, everyone saw the sky ahead grow darker, and the birds on the ship started chirping and passing on what they knew to Ryuen.
"That's... Imperial Cumulus..."
"Which ans, the updraft current is right in the middle of this Imperial Cumulus!"
At that mont, everyone was extrely excited.
