Noland was finally sentenced to death for the crime of lying. Noland’s last words were, “That’s right! A mountain of gold has sunk into the sea!!!” The kings were astonished. No one will believe Noland anymore. He did not stop lying even until his death. (Northern Sea Folktale “Liar Noland”)
It disappeared into the sky instead of the sea, so a lie is a lie after all.
Even if I safely take Chandras to a country as terrible as that.
If we had said that the golden land belongs to us, we might have ended up fighting with the locals, or worse, going to war.
>>2
They say they’ll give everything except for the Great Bell Tower, so that probably won’t happen.
Moreover, the kingdom’s ship had only about 100 people left after the harsh voyage, so there’s no way they could go to war with Kalgara.
Shauron would never lie!
──I am only concerned about your Bankai.
The real Noland quietly accepted his execution, which makes it even sadder.
>>6
Well, since there’s nothing to prove, there’s nothing we can do.
If it were just me, that would be one thing, but there were probably reasons for my friends as well.
The ones who choose this design either understand people’s emotions extremely well or have no empathy at all.
Even when Noland was in a situation where he would be executed, he was more concerned about Kalgara and the others than himself, and it’s nice that Kalgara tried to protect the Great Bell Tower to keep the promise with Noland and the others, even risking his own life…
Around this time, there are suspicions that my uncle loves destroying dignity.
>>9
Haven’t you revealed it at the point of Mr. Gaimon?
I don’t really know why Shaulon is considered a liar.
>>10
I had a misunderstanding about the ice flower of the Great Crimson Lotus Ice Ring – isn’t that right?
>>10
Eelfolt becomes considerate of his companions.
Zomari adds steps.
>>10
Because I lied.
The reason it was edited was probably because there was a thread next to it offering a free one-piece dress.
>>32
This is really too harsh.
Ultimately, it becomes harsh that while the descendants come to accept that Norland wasn’t lying, public opinion remains that he was a liar until the very end.
I truly believe that the Sky Island arc, which starts with this story and culminates in ringing the bell, is a masterpiece.
>>12
It’s great how the stress from being tossed around by the incomprehensible customs of the sky and being attacked without warning by guerrillas in the first half leads to this ending.
They say it’s for the descendants, but if you don’t properly convey it to the family home, it will just end with Mr. Cricket being satisfied.
>>13
Going that far isn’t stylish.
In real-time, the stories of uncle characters, whom you suddenly know or don’t know, are often depicted with nearly an entire volume dedicated to them, leading to the sadness of being told to just move on quickly.
>>14
It’s such a great place, and then unknown old men start talking!
>>14
I actually understood the fun of this place only after I grew up more.
Kids, I was just really hoping for Eneru to settle this quickly.
>>22
It wasn’t good that Ener was a troublesome character.
The discovery of a house that was split in half on the Sky Island confirms that this is Jaya!
It’s amazing that it turns out Chandra’s ancestors were connected to Norland, forming a single line.
If you wanted to, you had the strength to beat them up and escape by yourself, Noland.
It was later revealed that they had also been to the New World, which increased their evaluation.
>>20
It’s a monster that hunts sea kings in the ocean, so I guess we can make it in the New World…
>>23
Aren’t they like a fish person?
I like the flow where Wyper is moved upon hearing that Robin is trying to ring the bell for Luffy to tell the descendants of Noland after all the information has been gathered.
Since that time, One Piece has been continuously referred to as a long, long story.
I really love the beginning and end of the flashback scene in the Drum Kingdom arc; they’re among the best in manga history.
Shauron can’t be helped.
It’s clearly a lie.
When I reread it, I thought it was just a stage gimmick, but it made me cry a lot.
I feel like from this point on, there have been more episodes that are more enjoyable to read in collected volumes than in weekly installments.
>>31
It has been said that the Sky Island Arc was like that since it was completed.
“When I was a kid, I honestly didn’t really get the wiper’s ‘For our ancestors…!'”
I realized for the first time as an adult that this is hot…
It would have been nice if Norland had brought back some souvenirs other than gold.
>>34
Ancestral tree, perhaps…?
When the bell rang and it became clear that the Golden Country was in the sky, the reason why Mr. Cricket cried was that it was a proper confirmation that Luffy was indeed in the sky, more than just a proof that his ancestors were not liars.
>>35
It’s nice to feel relieved knowing that Luffy and the others are safe…
I think realistically, even if the king has malicious intentions, plundering is impossible, as the only one who can win against Kargala is someone like Norland.
Noland, caught between friendship and the king’s orders, is only clouded.
I quietly like a lot of scenes like the stone stew.
>>40
It has a sense of adventure, and that’s nice.
>>49
Where is the frog?
>>65
I don’t want a frog.
Due to the existence of the sky island, a caring black gal for otaku has emerged, and so has the black beard.
The king is undoubtedly a tyrant, but objectively speaking, execution is an unavoidable situation.
>>43
From a third party’s perspective, there’s no reason to trust Norland at all…
>>53
That said, attempting to kill a hero with countless other achievements through false testimony is the act of a tyrant…
But in the end, if the island that was indicated doesn’t exist at all, I feel like there was no way to avoid being treated as if it were false testimony.
Roger’s message was written with a feeling like that of doodling during a school trip…
It has a high level of completion, but I feel like the Sky Island arc is really out of place throughout the entire story.
Only in the sky island
>>47
But I feel that it’s a microcosm of the One Piece world, where if you fight over the land, a third force will emerge and take control.
Noland was probably liked because he was clumsy in political maneuvering.
In the scene where they emerge from the sea for the first time, they had an incredibly shrewd expression.
Everything is the fault of that disaster called Knock Up Stream.
If an invasion really happened, even if Norland and his group didn’t resist, they probably wouldn’t join the invading side.
Isn’t it too monstrous that they are hunting sea kings in the Grand Line while swimming in the flesh from the very beginning?
>>51
At least there’s the strength of a flying squirrel class.
“If this goes on, the old man and the monkeys will continue to search the deep sea forever!” in that scene.
Speaking of which, since it’s the Grand Line, we can’t turn back, and I remembered that we probably won’t meet again.
>>54
If I want to see you, I’ll add another lap.
The knock-up stream is fine in this case, but it’s too miraculous that it got stuck in the beanstalk.
It’s a bit silly, but since it’s the same Jaya, I wonder if the log poses weren’t showing the direction and the magnetic force changed because of that.
The foreshadowing was too brilliantly resolved.
It’s fortunate that it happened to become a Sky Island by chance, but if luck is bad, everyone on Jaya would die instantly from being slammed into the blue sea with that kind of force, and the Golden Country would be submerged, which is just too chaotic.
The king goes out of his way to fabricate false witnesses, which shows his deep resentment.
The only time Robin-chan’s catchphrase was effective.
That’s terrible.
It’s a miracle that the island itself floats.
All the sky islands other than that one are just foundation clouds.
You must not have expected this monster’s rebellion, and it seems that neither you nor the king’s guards were actually strong after all.
A Gedatsu who fell from the Sky Island and is living normally.
>>67
A man equal to Kaido.
What do you mean by after the Grand Line? Isn’t Sky Island just common sense? The spatial knowledge disconnect in this world is incredible, isn’t it?
The Earth won’t be defeated!!
The scene is nice, isn’t it?
>>69
It won’t sink…! The upper yard won’t budge…! I love it.
It’s rare to find such a touching piece in “Daichi Sansho.”
>>69
The people of the Sky Island read “verse,” but the fact that only that place reads “dai” is amazing.
The fact that there were numerous deaths was triggered by Noland’s words, so it can’t be helped that he has to take responsibility.
Thanks to the false testimony of the fake crew member, it can be said that only Norland ended up looking like a liar.
The ending of Shadows and the Sound of Bells is just too good…
Even now, when I hear Gunfall’s “I love pumpkin juice!” I think, what is this stupid old man talking about?
>>72
Did you hit your head?
Old man
I really love it.
>>72
Pumpkins are an extremely important crop for Chandra, passed down from Norland.
And the old man said, “I really love pumpkin juice too,” to show his friendship with Chandra.
The wiper broke.
>>87
I understand that, but it’s not something to say to those who had their pumpkins taken from them unilaterally!
>>72
The people of the sky island also want to benefit from the blessings of the earth, so please understand that… I’m trying to say it in a way that doesn’t sound too blunt.
Are you a head wiper?
>>72
“We’re the same kind of people, and I also like the products of your culture, so it’s an offer of cultural reconciliation.”
It ended up being a situation where, in the context of the soil conditions for that pumpkin, the post-war occupying forces encouraged saying, “Sweet potatoes are delicious too.”
Whether it’s worth going so far as to execute with false witnesses is another matter.
Since what I said exists doesn’t actually exist, there’s nothing I can do about it.
Bellamy, you really managed to reach the sky and brought back the golden pillar.
Sky Pia itself seems peaceful, so how did that happen?
>>75
It is thought to be a gift because it is probably from someone who knows Luffy.
Depicting God as a symbol of dictatorship and tyranny.
At the very end, everyone on Sky Island naturally offered their prayers, saying, “Protect them! Oh God!”
The scene where the sky clears up is really, really awesome.
I didn’t understand it when I was a kid, but it’s really good.
Destruction of dignity is not limited to uncles…
The way it becomes interesting when binge-watching “Sky Island” arc is amazing.
Titles of oratorios and such up to that point.
It’s all a setup to do “Daichi Sansho” in that scene, isn’t it?
After executing them, I wonder if the country probably also published a picture book.
If it’s in the original world, even the nameless ones would probably be bashing Norland.
>>82
Most people would probably criticize it if they were a third party…
>>82
If such an interesting picture book is out, I’ll definitely make it a topic.
>>104
Reading this, I can’t help but feel that Mont Blanc is the best! It’s crazy how the Saruyama Union goes all the way from the northern seas, crossing Reverse Mountain, to pester the Mont Blanc guy and become his disciple.
To be honest, I’m adventuring because it’s the mission of my country.
Since it has been decided that it was a lie, there’s nothing left to do but accept a punishment, whether it be execution or something else…
The talk at the introduction in Jaya is good too.
I love the scene where Berami one-shots someone; it’s among my top favorites in the work.
I help people on various islands, but among them, I really appreciate Luffy, who helped resolve the centuries-old disgrace and fate of my ancestors, even though he stole the treasure and made his escape.
>>88
Given Luffy’s stance revealed later, if he just walks away as a good person, he would truly become a hero.
I wonder if they deliberately commit “evil deeds” by stealing treasures in order to remain “pirates.”
Every time, the local people feel such immense gratitude for the help they’ve received that they think it’s worth it.
Shaulon being treated as a liar is also Yami’s fault.
When I was reading the Sky Island arc in real time, I honestly thought One Piece had finally ended because it was so boring.
Reading it all at once is too much of a masterpiece… but the buildup is too long!!
>>94
If you like, I’ll do an Energetic Battle once and then go back to charging up…
Whoa, what is this sad past…
Bellamy’s dignity continues to be destroyed.
If the crew members who weren’t even searching say there was a land of gold, then everyone would be executed, so it’s still better that we were able to just use fake crew members to deal with Shauron.
The One Piece from these days was good; now it’s just too boring.
>>99
It was said when I was serializing in Sky Island.
>>101
I feel like this was the worst time.
Everything up to that point was just too well-paced…
>>99
(This was also said back then…)
When reading it in volumes, it’s a great episode, but when following it in real-time during serialization, it was quite tough as it felt lengthy and hard to grasp the situation.
Would reading Fish-Man Island all together make it a masterpiece?
>>106
It’s how you see it.
>>106
I don’t hate Hodi’s “nothing” that much.
>>112
Fishman Island has such strong themes that it’s a poor entertainment piece, but I understand what it’s trying to say… it’s something that makes it difficult to evaluate.
>>106
Seriously, it will actually happen.
Just like the sky islands, it’s interesting apart from the battles.
>>106
I’m excited about when Big Mom’s minions arrive.
How did Noland get back from the Grand Line?
We can either go for the reverse without the log pose or cut through the Calm Belt.
>>108
I think we don’t need to backtrack or go around since we secured the Eternal Pose for the escape route during the last adventure.
Yes, yes, it probably doesn’t conduct electricity, right?
That face from earlier was really refreshing.
The energy to rebuild from there is amazing, making it a great match.
Just that face makes me feel like all of Ener’s previous outbursts have been completely turned upside down, which is really refreshing, isn’t it…
>>109
It’s too fast to make a comeback!
>>109
I think it’s amazing how, after having a full catharsis with that face, it immediately turns into a clever response and a battle of wits.
>>130
Electric shocks themselves have no effect, but heat and slashing attacks do.
In other words, fighting is risky in the first place, so I just throw on some weights and do it.
>>109
It’s not a simple result of winning because it’s advantageous or losing because it’s disadvantageous; it’s a heated conclusion arrived at after a solid battle.
Shauron just misread it himself!
>>113
Noland is also getting it wrong.
The scene of cutting down the kina tree is also great, isn’t it…
As if it were a matter of course, Roger and the others also arrived via the Knock Up Stream.
>>115
I can only say that it seems so.
>>115
It seems there is no choice but to take the route that does not abandon my friends.
If you feel that Totto Land and Egghead are boring, then you lack taste.
The country of Wa is yes.
Oda-sensei doesn’t like the destruction of dignity.
I think I like a man who doesn’t break even when his dignity is destroyed.
>>120
Humans love to destroy dignity to the point of death, taking into account that they won’t break, and considering the intervention of Luffy and others, I think it’s okay as long as they are ultimately saved, so in the backstory, it ends with things still destroyed!
There’s a big knife circus nearby that’s dying, you know.
>>122
I had a pretty cool big knife that didn’t look bad at all.
When I realized I had died, I felt sad despite being a side character…
The boss is way more boring and annoying, you idiot.
>>125
I know the Davy Back Fight is getting a lot of criticism everywhere, but I actually quite like it…
>>133
I like calling a win by forfeit the “peanut tactic.”
>>125
The banter between Sanji and Zoro is sharp and interesting, but…
>>125
Actually, I really like that place.
I think Hodi is a good villain, even though everyone else in Fish-Man Island is terrible.
Other fishmen are terrible.
>>127
The Hyōzō, which had been hinted at since the early days in terms of being terrible, is truly disappointing.
It feels like we’re finally ready to tackle Fish-Man Island.
It would have been good around the timing of Silberberg.
The only truly boring part is the Devil Back Fight chapter.
The Fish-Man Island arc has an interesting theme of intangible grudges, but it didn’t really feel like the kind of enemy that the Straw Hat crew, who became super strong after two years of training, should be defeating in such an exciting scene…
>>136
Perhaps it was to connect to a blood transfusion that they couldn’t easily defeat the enemy despite their status…
For Eneru, Luffy is truly his one and only arch-nemesis, including all his fighting spirit and everything else.
Unless it’s a quite clever attack, all attacks will be completely nullified and defense won’t be possible at all.
So why is this guy holding his own at least equally?
I feel strongly that Wano Country could have been made more interesting, rather than just being boring, especially since so many foreshadowing elements were laid out and it was built up with anticipation.
Specifically, Zoro go wild more.
Even looking back now, there are too many tough scenes for a weekly publication.
Oyabin is active in erotic doujin.
I like the story even if the boss doesn’t appear in an entire chapter.
>>144
Without that, the feeling of being Robin’s ally will become quite weak.
>>154
It’s nice to have scenes where you’re reading while pedaling on the Hanahana or secretly making ropes to relax.
>>154
My companions are extremely important, even if I have to die for them.
I came because I want to have some kind of adventure! I really like the feeling of the Sky Island.
Everything else had its purpose, roughly speaking.
In the early stages of Skypiea, there was something that seemed like a foreshadowing substance, like the one that forms the clouds of Skypiea.
I feel like they haven’t shown up at all since then.
>>147
The substance pyrobloin, which is a favorite of One Piece analysts.
>>147
They’re laying the groundwork for details about the marine tower stone over there, right?
It seems that there won’t be much digging of sea tower stones in the future, and I have a feeling they won’t be used until the end either.
The Fish-Man Island arc also serves as a showcase for the Neo crew, so there are some dull parts, but I think it would be interesting if you read it all together.
It’s just too much for the executives other than Hodi. Yeah…
On the contrary, I’m curious about what the regular Sky Island route looks like.
It’s absolutely impossible for everyone to survive.
>>149
It seems like you’re going to climb a mountain.
It might be doubtful whether we can go by boat.
>>149
“Die here for our sake.”
“Understood, Captain!”
It feels like events like that happen multiple times…?
The World Edition was incredibly fun every week.
>>151
I cried too at Sanji’s heartfelt crying face.
Crying like that in such a quiet way is sneaky.
>>174
I think it’s amazing that despite having put Sanji through such terrible experiences, after things improved, I could adjust my feelings to just wanting him to be stabbed once.
Up until that moment, Eneru probably had never felt cornered even once.
It’s amazing that you’re able to get back on track.
The David Back Fight arc is considered to be too out of place in the story and is speculated to be a foreshadowing for the final act.
>>158
That’s a story where the impression of the Straw Hat Crew changes from Robin’s perspective, as well as a break for using chopsticks…
It’s basically like the prologue to the Water Seven arc.
The boss isn’t exactly a chapter, but more like an extension of the daily episodes between chapters.
>>159
Don’t do things like in the original anime in the main story.
The Foxy Pirates lost terribly, and now it’s just hamburgers and girls.
When I read it again, the Merry Go is split in half at the part with the monkey army.
>>166
The fatal blow to the dragon bone was probably from Knock-Up Stream…
Without the Noronoro Beam, the masterpieces of thin books will disappear, you idiot.
Is it like climbing a spider’s thread from the top of the mountain via the usual route?
But it seems like you can also come by boat, so I wonder what that’s all about.
In the Foxy arc, Luffy reaffirms the importance of his comrades and Robin becomes more acclimated.
Usopp feels the gap between him and his companions.
The individual’s story is somewhat progressing.
When I asked young readers which volume is more boring between volume 31 (Sky Island Past Arc) and volume 33 (Davy Back Fight), I think they said the past arc is more boring by about 9 to 1.
Wano Country is a mix of interesting places and incredibly boring ones, so it’s just kind of…
The unnamed three samurai from the Yamato past arc were really great.
>>173
Up until the assault on Onigashima, it’s undoubtedly interesting.
From there, it’s just too chaotic.
>>173
The distribution is a mess.
I thought back then that the allocation of the fire, the ice demon, and the brawl with the weaklings should be reversed with the Zoro and Sanji main event.
The sky island now seems to be a treasure trove of fundamental settings, stirring my desire to reread it.
I like that Davey Back Fight focuses on the culture of mob pirates.
I thought Pirate Island Hachinosu would be dug up, but that wasn’t the case.
I love the scene where you realize that the land above is actually the moon.
It’s close to the Jaya arc, isn’t it? The Davy Back Fight arc.
A prelude to the major incident occurring in Water Seven.
I thought that taking the kingdom’s army would definitely cause trouble.
Did we promise that I would give you gold when you come again?
There may be a gimmick that requires a few people to operate it, so it’s not that you have to stay on site; it’s just the usual Sky Island route.
Well, for the families of the sailors who died at sea, they probably only have the thought of “I wish they would die.”
I like the Wano Country arc and think it’s interesting, but I also understand how those who are complaining feel.
The HCI edition is truly exciting from start to finish, nonstop and incredibly interesting!
If asked where the next most interesting place after Alabasta and Skypiea is, I would definitely mention this.
By the way, I feel like there have been more mob fighters on both the enemy and ally sides since around the Sky Island.
Not particularly strong, but it’s the kind of technique that comes out in a stylish way.
