"This little girl is really amazing, looks like it won't even be my turn as the Sky Knight to step in."
Gan Fall, sitting on the back of Pegasus, witnessed Nezuko defeating Wyper from beginning to end, and was quite shaken by the strength she displayed.
Others didn't recognize this masked man, but he was very familiar with him.
Wyper, a warrior of Shandia, though not as ferocious as his ancestor, the great warrior Kalgara, his strength was still not to be underestimated.
"This time, it looks like some incredible pirates have come from High West. I'd better go save him."
The two had quarreled before, but Gan Fall always felt guilty about how the former Angel Tribe persecuted the natives of Jaya Island.
So, after thinking for a while, he decided to step forward, planning to save Wyper.
But before he could move, his head suffered a heavy blow.
Gan Fall, "???"
He slid off the back of Pegasus, crashing down beside Jotaro's feet.
Jotaro was carrying Mr. 9, ripples bouncing beneath his feet, allowing him to stand easily on the sea of clouds.
Looking at the fallen Gan Fall, he said faintly, "So he's an enemy too?"
The one who struck Gan Fall was him.
Pegasus dove down, trying to rescue Gan Fall, but the moment it met Jotaro's cold gaze, it completely shrank back.
"Yare yare…"
Jotaro carried one person on each side of his shoulders and returned to the ship.
———
"Let me go! This old man is the Sky Knight!" Gan Fall, tied up together with Wyper, had lighter injuries, so he woke up sooner.
"I am just an amateur mercenary, I bear no malice toward you."
"The Sky Sea is an extremely dangerous place. Those who don't understand sky warfare have only the fate of being struck down by these guerrilla soldiers, sinking to the sea bottom to feed the sky fish."
"My duty is to save those attacked by the guerrilla soldiers. Of course, you all look like you've already adapted to this environment, so you don't need my help."
"In short, I am not a bad person, quickly untie me."
Jotaro didn't move and asked, "Why do the guerrilla soldiers attack us?"
Gan Fall said, "That is a long story, it has to be told starting from more than four hundred years ago…"
Jotaro's face gradually darkened.
"Keep it short!"
Gan Fall shivered.
"Cough! Alright…"
He explained the current situation of Skypiea as briefly as possible.
Nami clapped her hands, "So, that means, if we want to leave Skypiea, we must pass through Heaven's Gate, then cross Angel Island, and head for the end of the clouds."
"It's just that right now, the entire island is under the rule of this so-called God Enel. According to his rules, in order to pass through Heaven's Gate you must pay an entry fee, right?"
Gan Fall nodded, "If you don't pay the fee, you'll be regarded as illegal trespassers, and will be punished by God's judgment."
Nami smiled sweetly, "Sorry for asking, but how much is the entry fee?"
Gan Fall said, "One billion Extols per person, converted to your currency that's 100,000 Berries!"
"100,000 Berries!!!"
Nami's voice was so sharp it almost pierced Gan Fall's eardrums.
"You've got to be joking! 100,000 Berries per person, who could possibly afford that!!"
Gan Fall really wanted to cover his ears, but unfortunately, his hands were tied.
"That's why, each year the number of ships that can pass through Skypiea is almost in the single digits. To be exact, it's zero!!"
"Jotaro!!" Nami tugged Jotaro, "Let's just turn back!"
Jotaro didn't take Nami's words seriously.
Compared to him, Nami was more worried about Vivi, wishing she could send her back as soon as possible.
Now, this was the only route available. No matter how hard it was, she would not back down.
Jotaro looked at Gan Fall, "I believe you. You're not an enemy."
The next second, he untied Gan Fall's ropes.
Gan Fall stood up, flexed his wrists a little.
He pointed at the unconscious Wyper, "What do you plan to do with him?"
"Although he recklessly attacked you, I still hope you can let him go."
"If the Shandia people know he's on your ship, they'll definitely send more people. That will bring you trouble."
Jotaro could see Gan Fall's intent.
"I'm not interested in Skypiea's grudges, and I hate trouble as well. Right now, I only want to leave here as quickly as possible. If you want to take him, then go ahead."
"Much appreciated." Gan Fall bent over, hoisted Wyper onto his back, then tossed Jotaro a whistle. "If you encounter trouble again, just blow this whistle."
"In that way, I can descend from the sky and resolve the crisis for you."
"Normally, each time you blow this whistle I would charge one million Extols. But this time, to repay the favor, I'll let you blow it once for free."
"Then, I'll be taking my leave!"
He shouted, "Pierre!!!"
———
"Pierre!!"
Somewhere in the Sky Sea, Pierre, who had been frightened away by Jotaro, was currently frantically chasing a Sea King.
And right then, Sea King was already searching everywhere for all kinds of sky fish ever since she entered the Sky Sea.
"What a surprise, you caught this fish for me?"
Saying that, Jotaro bent down, reached out to pat her head, and praised, "You really are smart."
With this scene flashing in her mind, a faint blush rose on Sea King's cheeks.
She wanted to find even more fish for Jotaro.
While swimming hard, Sea King suddenly noticed a strangely shaped creature behind her.
A Pegasus with wings, its eyes had now turned into hearts.
"What's with this stupid thing, why does it keep following Princess Sea King!!"
She sped up again, leaving Pierre far behind.
———
On Jotaro's ship, Gan Fall, "…"
'Where's this old man's Pegasus!'
Nami crossed her arms, looking at him with disdain.
'What was this old guy going crazy for.'
"Damn Gan Fall actually abused our great warrior Kalgara's descendant Wyper!"
A guerrilla comrade saw Gan Fall carrying the blood-covered Wyper and naturally misunderstood.
"Hypocritical Angel Tribe! Damn it, with my strength I'm no match for Gan Fall. I must quickly inform the chief, gather the other guerrilla warriors, and rescue him."
With that, the skates under his feet blasted strong wind, and he sped toward Shandia territory.
"Chief, bad news! The hypocritical Gan Fall has finally shown his true nature. While warrior Wyper wasn't paying attention, he launched a sneak attack from behind and gravely injured him."
In his mind, the whole picture of the event had already been formed, and he believed it completely.
