Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 151 The Great Detective Son Goten!

Picking up where we left off, the Straw Hat crew looked at the old man who called himself the Sky Knight with puzzled expressions. They then learned some things about Sky Island from him. It turned out that the real Sky Island was even higher up, and there was a safer way to get there. Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes instantly flashed with murderous intent as she stared at Luffy and the others.

The Sky Knight roughly understood Luffy and his crew's situation, so he left a whistle and confidently said, "When you are in danger, blow that whistle, and I will come to save you. It only costs 500 million Iku!"

Upon hearing this, Goten immediately said, "Sorry, we don't need..." Before he could finish speaking, he was brutally beaten by the cowardly trio (Usopp, Nami, and Chopper), who shouted in unison, "Shut up! You may not need it, but think about us! Don't be so selfish!"

After being beaten up, Goten had no choice but to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, I was too rash..." Robin couldn't help but smile slightly at the sight.

So after the Sky Knights left, Nami hung the whistle on the mast, indicating that only those in danger could use it. However, Goten, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were not allowed to use it. Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately questioned why, only to receive a reply from Nami: "I said no, and that means no!"

Seeing this, Wutian had no choice but to change the subject: "Speaking of which, after passing through those cumulus clouds at the ten o'clock direction, there seems to be a large gate that is the entrance. Let's hurry over there!"

Hearing this, Luffy shifted his attention and ordered everyone to steer the Going Merry towards the gate Goten had mentioned. Upon arriving at the gate, they saw the sign above it—"Gate of Heaven"—and for a moment felt like they were going to heaven...

At this moment, an elderly woman who identified herself as a ticket seller came out of the room next to the main gate. She took a few photos of everyone before asking them, "Where did you come from? Do you want to enter the territory of the Sky Island?"

Luffy nodded affirmatively, indicating, "That's right, grandma, can you tell us how to get up there?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman said, "Before that, I need to confirm whether you have the money to buy tickets. It's 10 billion Iraqi kroner per person. There are 8 of you in total, which is 80 billion Iraqi kroner. You can go in after you pay."

Upon seeing this, Goten immediately asked, "What's the exchange rate between Ik and Pele? I mean, how many Pele are in 80 billion Ik?"

The old woman said, "Ten thousand Iq taels is equal to one Qinghai peli!"

Upon hearing this, Goten suddenly realized what was going on and clapped his hands, saying, "So that means we only need to pay 80 Berries... That still seems too expensive..."

Seeing this, Usopp asked, "So, can we go in without paying?"

The old woman pondered for three seconds, then said, "Sure..."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately chimed in with comments, "So that's possible!" However, Goten fell into thought, then quickly retorted, "Wait a minute, you agreed so readily, there must be some other scheme behind it. If we can freely enter Sky Island, there's no need to set up a ticket seller..."

The Straw Hat crew was taken aback, but Luffy blurted out, "What does it matter? They already said we can go in..."

Upon hearing this, Goten immediately scolded Luffy: "Idiot, if we go in without paying, won't that be illegal entry? What if their army comes to arrest us? Once we're considered illegal, we won't even have a legitimate reason to fight!"

Goten then analyzed the situation for the others: "I know why this old woman let us pass. Nothing escapes my keen eyes. Although I look like a child, my wisdom far surpasses that of ordinary people. I am the famous detective Son Goten, and there is only one truth!"

Usopp felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing this...

Goten confidently pointed at the old woman and revealed the truth: "You agreed to let us in so readily because you know we'll be punished even more severely after we break in. Either you'll be fined double or you'll be forcibly executed. We've seen ships destroyed and thrown from the sky on the Grand Line. So what you just said about us being able to get in without paying is a trap!"

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew applauded. Some of them understood Goten's reasoning, while others were simply there to join in and create a lively atmosphere.

After hearing Wutian's words, the old woman couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm, then said disdainfully, "Tch—did you get seen through?"

Seeing this, Nami decisively rebuked, "So you were really setting us up!"

However, Sanji said, "So what do we do now? Do we still have 80 Berries? Or should we turn back now?"

Luffy immediately retorted, "No, we have to go on an adventure to Skypiea!"

Usopp continued Luffy's words, saying, "But Luffy, we don't have enough money, and even if we had Nami, she wouldn't pay..."

Nami nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, we don't need to spend that kind of money. Let's go back to the Grand Line and continue our adventure."

Luffy's face fell upon hearing this, and Zoro added, "It seems that's the only way. Let's get ready to go back."

Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper had no choice but to prepare to go back. Luffy looked at Robin when he saw this, but Robin helplessly shrugged and said there was nothing she could do. Seeing this, Luffy finally placed his hopes on Goten and stared at Goten with burning eyes.

Goten felt Luffy's burning gaze, thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something. He then said, "Nami, I'm going to Skypiea. Have you forgotten Noland's notebook? The Golden City he saw... If the Golden City hadn't sunk into the sea, but instead been washed up into the sky, it would only be a mere 10 Berries. I've secretly saved some of my own money; if we find mountains of gold..."

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately patted her chest and declared, "Let's all go to Skypiea together! I can lend money to those who don't have any, but those who don't have money after finding the gold will have to use a portion of the gold they get to repay me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Goten could only agree to leave it at that. After all, the ship's assets wouldn't stay with them for long anyway. So Nami took out her treasured 70 Berries, Goten contributed his share, and then the Straw Hat crew was officially taken to the higher Sky Island by the Sky Island's specialty, the running shrimp...

Upon arriving at Skypiea, Luffy took the lead and jumped off the Going Merry, starting to play around excitedly like a monkey. Chopper and Usopp immediately followed, and Sanji and Robin soon caught up.

After Zoro lowered the anchor, Nami changed her clothes and stepped onto the land of Sky Island, while Goten took off his clothes and plunged into Sky Sea to experience the feeling of swimming, which was different from ordinary sea. Seeing this, Zoro asked in a daze, "Goten, aren't you afraid of Sky Fish?"

The next second, Goten was being chased around by all sorts of air fish, and Zoro, seeing this, immediately covered his forehead, speechless...
