Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
Chapter Question: What are your thoughts on this adventure? Written By: smxwing The Straw Hats were able to escape The Shoujou Pirates with some damage done to their ship. As the crew tries to repair the damages, Zoro suggests they just get a new ship. Usopp angrily protests the idea but Luffy reassures him that The Merry Go is a member of their crew. They finally arrive at their destination on the eastern coast of Jaya where they are astonished to find a castle right at the edge of the island. They quickly find out however that the castle is made of plywood and hides the real house behind it, which seems to be half a hut. After discovering that no one is home, Nami finds a book left outside entitled 'Noland the Liar'. Sanji then explains that the story of 'Noland the Liar' is a famous legend where he grew up, The North Blue. The tale takes place 400 years ago in the North Sea. There, an explorer named Mont Blanc Noland would tell tales of his amazing adventures to the town's people. Nobody would ever believe him. After one of his 'adventures', Noland told the king of a mountain of gold he had discovered. The King believing him took some 2000 solders to see for himself. By the time they arrived, only Noland, The King and 100 soldiers remained only to find there was no gold whatsoever. Noland is then sentenced to death for lying. His last words before being executed were that the island with the mountain of gold must have sunk into the sea. Mont Blanc Noland stuck to his lies to the very end. We then cut to the bar in Mock Town where the Bellamy Pirates, having remembered the tales of Noland as kids reason that Mont Blanc Cricket must be his descendant. They believe Cricket is searching for gold to erase 400 years humiliation his family has suffered. Back at Crickets house, Nami has finished reading the tale of Noland. Luffy, who is sitting by the coastline, gets pulled into the sea. The man responsible is none other than Mont Blanc Cricket, boss of The Monkey Mountain Allied Forces. Fearing he is being robbed, he prepares to fight. Sanji, who tells Usopp to save Luffy from drowning, trades blows with Cricket. He tries to shoot Sanji but misses. Zoro is ready to intervene before Cricket falls to the floor in pain for no apparent reason. Chopper says that Cricket is suffering from a lung condition that often affects deep sea divers. As he continues his diagnosis in the house, we focus in on a picture of Cricket with a few familiar faces, Masira and Shoujou the salvage captains.

This arc made me cry
-
In retrospect, Skypiea served many functions like allow time for Robin to be with the crew, introduce many important elements and characters, allow time for the rest of the world to response to the events of Alabasta. As far as entertainment goes, Skypiea is quality.
-
Oh & I think this is a great arc but mostly cause of the revelations about Nolands story which is kinda depressing if you ask me
-
Jim I think later you're going to choke on what you say about Going Merry at this point
-
I like this arc, especially looking back at it; definitely the most adventure-like part of the journey this far, it really gets your blood pumping, especially the way there and the conclusion of the arc is fantastic as well. Would be neat to see more like this from Oda.
-
The whole story about Norrland Montblanc to me has got to be one of the saddest/best backstories in One Piece.
-
Opening's still beast Jim
-
Skypiea put me to bed
-
I love skypea don't know why some people disagree.
-
Come on everyone lets go on an epic Adventure! I haven't watched or read Skypeia in a long time, it's gonna be refreshing.
-
Beautiful family. And Merry Christmas!
-
i loved skypiea has the best villan
-
This arc is great and ties into the story really well and has been brought up in the most recent arc in one piece
-
I think it's fantastic. I know I'm in the minority on this but I was never bored with this or the next arc, even in the slow parts there was always something that interested me throughout the entire Skypeia Saga.
It's really unfortunate that so may ppl within the fandom don't enjoy this saga, but I guess it is what it is. That's why opinions exist, right?
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your family Jim, I hope you have an awesome holiday and that you'll be back in 2014 for another year of chapter reviews. :) -
Noland is amazing.
-
I like watching these because some of the stuff I didn't catch before, you point out. My experiences of One Piece are being enhanced with every video I watch.
-
Page 8 of this chapter shows a kid with a strawhat, which is more than likely the same strawhat Luffy, Shanks and Gol D Roger has been wearing
-
Skypia is awesome, it is the definition of adventure.
-
Merry Christmas
