150. Knock up Stream

150. Knock up Stream

The people who were shouting around shut their mouths in an instant. Bellamy, while falling, coughed up blood and instantly lost consciousness. It was quite early in the afternoon, so there was silence all around. Only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard under the hot sun.

"Bellamy.. Get up.. This idiot just insulted you. Get up." The flashy-looking guy who had chicks around him and was the Vice Captain of the Bellamy Pirates called out.

"Get up, Bellamy," some random crew member screamed. Ken just looked at Bellamy for one second and then turned around to look at the vice captain. Then someone from the crowd shouted.

"You. You are the new Supernova.. Punisher Kenny."

"Supernova?"

"Punisher Kenny?"

"Isn't he someone with over 100 million bellies?"

Actually, against the original story, Marineford didn't update the bounty of Luffy and his crew with new bounties. There was a reason for that. Firstly, Smoker didn't speak about the way Crocodile was taken down, and secondly, Jabra, returning back to the Enies Lobby, said that he was defeated and stopped because the straw hats had ganged up on him.

No matter what, the crew members in the Straw Hat Pirates had a high bounty to begin with, and Jabra wasn't as strong as Lucci, so the Enies Lobby didn't bother to ask Marineford to give new bounties. And of course, Zoro and others didn't fight in the city against Baroque Works. Ken was actually hunting for them later so that his crew mates could get some practice, but apparently they never showed up.

Though it wouldn't have much mattered as the current straw hats were way more powerful. They vanished probably because Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 convinced them to leave when Crocodile vanished.

So, their bounties were still remained the same and didn't go up, but the fact that they were already worth more than 100 million bellies showed how powerful they were. Ken didn't reply to that shout and spoke to the vice captain.

"Tell Doflamingo to take care of his lackies. I can't clean up his house every time."

With those words he walked away, while Vice Captain, in extreme fear, fell on his butt.

Soon they arrived at the ship, and Ken asked to go to a certain place on the island. As expected, the fake castle made them laugh. Cricket was under the ocean looking for gold. When he came out of the ocean and saw dozens of people around, he attacked, only to lose consciousness the next moment due to excessive diving deep in the ocean and making his blood fill with nitrogen gas.

Soon, the two monkey brothers of the Saruyama Alliance arrived, and Luffy revealed that he wanted to go to Skypea. They talked of many things, including Cricket's ancestors.

"He was a great liar." Cricket himself admitted

"Oh! Why do you say that? Didn't you get the gold from under the sea?" Ken asked.

"Yes, but we haven't found the city yet."

"Maybe you are looking in the wrong place," Ken said.

"No, I have checked the island. It was this particular island that Norland spoke of. If there was a golden city, it must be either under the sea or it was never there." Cricket said.

"Cricket-san, how about the sky? Did you look at the sky?" Ken asked.

"Huh!"

"What?"

"Nani?"

"Didn't you guys just talk about Knock Up stream? What if that massive Knock Up stream blasted the island of Jaya and sent it to the Sky Island? Wouldn't that mean you have been searching in the wrong place the entire time?"

Those words rang among the three leaders of the Saruyama Alliance. None of them had ever thought of it because the notion of the presence of Skypia was a myth to begin with, and they decided to help the Straw Hats just out of their love for romance.
