I think I have a good one for this. Since this chapter is mainly about finding a South Bird and then Luffy beating down Bellamy, I actually had to hunt for a good song and this is what I came up with. I hope you guys agree.
Everyone, this is 'Jericho' by Celldweller! Not mine, obviously.
You feel so safe inside the walls you've fortified
Supremacy implied, who dares to overthrow?
Arrogance justified, self-importance amplified
It's down you go when your walls fall like Jericho
We'll all enjoy the show when your walls fall like Jericho
Because in your face, Bellamy-chan.

Here the Chapter Starts
"So everyone," Atticus called, clasping his hands together loudly. "This is my older brother, Dellinger. We all call him Dell." He indicated to the shorter blonde dressed in a blue-green tube top and white shorts that barely passed his thighs, white high heels on his feet. He was still wearing his usual cap since the holes for his horns are already there and his fin was not obvious to them yet from the angle he was standing at.
"Kyahahaha! Nice to meet you all!" Dellinger chirped, waving his hand to the crew enthusiastically.
"You, too," Chopper replied from 'behind' the mast.
"Dellinger is half Fighter Fishman, meaning he's really tough," Atticus explained then gently turned his brother around to reveal the black fin. Best to show it now than surprise everyone just because Dellinger may turn around randomly. "Crazy strong. Yes, he has horns and a fin. And if you get him angry, he grows very sharp teeth." Turning to his brother, he started pointing to members of the crew. "You obviously already know the captain, Monkey D Luffy, and first mate, Roronoa Zoro. These others are our sniper, Usopp - our cook, Sanji - our doctor, Chopper - and our navigator, Uncle Cora's adopted daughter meaning my cousin, Nami. Hey, where's Robin?"
"She vanished a while ago," Usopp explained with a shrug. "We haven't been able to find her on the ship, so we just assumed she went into town. Maybe to get her own clothes or something instead of borrowing Nami's."
"Robin?" Dellinger repeated, blinking his eyes as he looked up at Atticus. "You don't mean Nico Robin who was working for Crocodile, right?"
"Yeah, she's with us right now," he replied uncaringly. "Trust her about as far as I can throw her."
"Kyahahahaha, Mama Rose says the same thing about everyone!" the hybrid pointed out with a laugh.
"Mama Rose?" Nami repeated, the words sounding very familiar to her.
"You probably heard Law mention her before you got kidnapped by Arlong," Atticus told her, ignoring Dellinger's confused expression. "I call her Mama because she is my mother. The rest of the kids call her Mama Rose. Most of the world knows her as the Emerald Rose."
"Say, Atticus," Zoro spoke up, pointing to the vest the teenager was still wearing. "I have a question for you. You have that same symbol that the other guy has. Mind explaining?"
"It's the symbol of the Donquixote Family!" Dellinger chimed, jumping onto the younger blonde's back. "Young Master is Atticus' father, after all. So of course he would wear the sign, especially in a place like this. Others back off and it lets lower minions know not to mess with him, too."
"Bellamy only has the mark because of Dad's whim," Atticus waved off. "He came to my Dad in this very town, begging to be accepted into the Family. Even then, my parents saw that he was just a weak little nobody. Dad only accepted him for fun. But if Bellamy loses even once, he's cut loose."
"That's what you meant about him not having a future among your family," Nami noted. "But why did everyone there laugh at us for asking about the sky island?!"
"Because no one here knows how to get to them, so none of the people here believe in it," Dellinger replied this time. "It's just a big mystery." He turned to Atticus, grinning widely with dilated eyes. "But there is someone here that may know something~!"
"Who?" the taller inquired curiously, flinching back a bit when Dellinger suddenly snatched his sunglasses from his head. He knows his brother won't intentionally hurt him, but he sometimes forgets his strength when he moves fast enough. Last time, they were thirteen and Dellinger knocked him out cold just for trying to snag a hat off his head. He didn't have any long-term damage, but Dell was easy to upset for a while. And his Grandpa Trebol was no help, constantly bringing it up whenever Dell got out of hand. He really liked teasing the kids.
"Perhaps this can tell us something," Robin spoke up as she boarded the ship, new clothes adorning her figure and leaving nothing to anyone's imagination.
"I wish I could fill out clothes like that," Dellinger pouted, slumping against his younger brother, which only made it easier for Atticus to snatch back the sunglasses and return them to their proper place.
"You fill out your clothes just fine," the younger reassured, patting the other's hatted head. "You won't believe how many times I hear people wishing they had legs like yours." Dellinger squealed in delight as Robin handed a map over to Luffy.
"Ooh! It's a treasure map!" the captain exclaimed.
"It's just an ordinary map," Usopp corrected then pointed to the X. "Where is this place?"
"It's a map of this island," Robin explained. "The city on the left is where we are, Mock Town. On the other side, see the X mark on the east coast? I heard that a very special person lives there."
"A special person?" both captain and sniper copied in confusion.
"His name is Montblanc Cricket," she explained.
"Montblanc?!" Atticus exclaimed in disbelief. Estrella, somehow managing to fit inside the crow's nest, stuck her head out from the top to stare down at her master. "Like Montblanc Noland?! Liar Noland?!"
"I was just about to tell you that," Dellinger said with a singsong tone. "I just heard about him myself not that long ago."
"Liar Noland?" Sanji called out. "The storybook from North Blue?"
"It was my favorite," Atticus brushed off, crossing his arms with a faint blush on his cheeks. "Dell and I would always convince someone to read it to us almost every night when we were kids."
"Except for Trebol and Diamante," Dellinger corrected. "And Lao G."
"Yeah, except for them. I liked it when Dad or Uncle Pica read it to us."
"Dellinger!" someone shouted from the dock, causing the crew to look over to see a man dressed in dark leather with a woman dressed in a white and golden silk sundress next to him. "Huh? Atticus? What are you doing here?"
"Hopefully going to have one of the craziest and best adventures ever!" Atticus called back. "What's up, Uncle Gladius, Aunt Luna! What are all of you doing on Jaya, anyway?"
"We're looking into a certain matter," Gladius answered, the light gleaming off his goggles as he regarded the crew.
"Leave them be," Luna advised, twirling a strand around her finger as she stared out to the sea, a glaze over her eyes. "How nice for them not to have many wrackspurts. Though the ones that do have them, those are quite ferocious. I hope you can repel them soon."
"Gladius! Luna! I wanna stay with Atticus!" Dellinger announced to the pair, clinging to the taller blonde.
"Take it up with the Young Master," Gladius told him. "Now get back down here. I don't want the Rose tearing me a new one for not bringing you back home."
"I'll call!"
"Dellinger, this is a path Atticus must take without us," Luna told him softly. "For now. You will see him again soon." Looking up to the crew, she smiled mysteriously at them. "You should not fear your wrackspurts. They encourage false tales and hope to dissuade you. Do not let them. And when you enter past Heaven's Gate, do try to have some fun. Atticus, bring home the old one. I'm sure Evelyn and she could have many talks."
"Sure thing, if I can ever figure out who you mean," Atticus answered with a wave of his hand, patting Dellinger's back as he jumped from the ship. "Any advice, Auntie, since you seem to know what we're up to?"
She just giggled lightly then stared off into the distance dreamily, leaning against Gladius. "Take flight up the tower of water. And one day soon, the bell will ring again."
"Okay! Thanks! Now, I give up," Atticus groaned, dropping his head onto the ship's railing. The only one to really understand (somewhat) the things his aunt says is Gladius. Occasionally, his Mama understands, too. Everyone else listens and watches to figure out what she means. Most of the time, no one knows until the actual event she mentioned happens.
"Um, Atticus?" Usopp called, earning a dismissing wave from the tall teen.
"No. Not gonna worry about it until we get there." Turning to Luffy, he gave a wave to the three at the dock. "We should get going or we may miss the chance of a lifetime."
"Right!" Luffy accepted, grinning brightly as he nodded his head then threw his closed hands into the air. "Let's go!"
Here is a line!
"Nope!" Atticus declared, holding his hands in the air as they endured the ranting of the older brother in the Saruyama Alliance. "Looks like a monkey but dumb as a boot!"
"Can I just crush him and eat him?" Estrella asked with a heavy sigh.
"Don't do that!" Chopper quickly denied in panic.
"Why not? I hear monkeys taste good."
"Where did you even hear anything like that?!"
"Dell." She suddenly flinched down as the enemy started shrieking into his microphone, the sounds harsh enough to tear up their own ship.
"Um, guys," Atticus called. "Maybe you forgot this, but sound travels."
Nami started throwing orders around immediately, right on time. The soundwaves just started to hit the Merry, causing cracks in the patchwork repairs. Thankfully, the wind was in their favor, letting them have a quick escape away from the sound.
Usopp managed to round up just about everyone to do repairs on the ship again, yelling at Zoro when the swordsman recommended getting a new ship. Luffy reassured that they wouldn't give up on the Merry, then accidentally broke the poor thing. It's often questionable as to who causes more damage to the ship, the crew or the enemy of the day.
"He really doesn't know his strength," Estrella commented then turned to her master. "Say, why not throw some Reparo around?"
"Something is on the ship," he answered. "I'm not sure what it is. It's not malicious or anything, but I don't want to risk my magic and this entity causing more damage."
"Try on a small area first," she suggested. "If it works, then great. If not, then sorry."
"Yeah, I guess I could give it a shot," he sighed before walking over to the spot Luffy just broke. "Hey, Usopp! I'm going to try something real quick. If it works, maybe the Merry can stick around a bit longer."
"What are you going to try?" the sniper asked cautiously as Atticus placed his hands on the broken wood.
"Reparo," he muttered, his hands glowing as the wood straightened out and splinters rejoined planks. Pieced together like a puzzle, the lines of the breaks started to vanish, molding the pieces together until it was whole again. "Huh. That went pretty well." Something brushed against his magic, transmitting gratitude. "What is that?"
"You've been able to do that this whole time and you didn't say anything?!" Usopp raged at him, waving a hammer around.
"Just because I can doesn't always mean I should," Atticus tried to explain, brushing off the strange moment for the time being. "Magic has its good and bad points. I can keep repairing like this, but then the ship would become dependant on it. The wood just looks fixed, but it's just as fragile as before, probably more so since it was already broken once and not all pieces can be put back into place. Some areas can be burnt to ash or broken and pieces lost or left behind. If I kept on doing this in the same area, that area would eventually crumble without any provocation."
"Really?" the sniper asked worriedly, looking to the fixed spot.
"Yeah. One of the reasons my Mama got rid of her glasses so long ago. They kept breaking, getting a Reparo done on them, and then they just shattered after some time. At least she managed to get something else done for her eyes." Patting the repaired area, the blonde sighed. "I can do this much for the Merry, but it shouldn't be depended on all the time. We should really get someone who knows exactly what they're doing when it comes to handling ships. You know, an actual shipwright."
"We should," Sanji agreed with a nod. "Until then, though, we'll just have to do what we can."
"That's all we can do," the younger said lowly. "Alright. Let me see any other spots. Hopefully they can still be fixed up a bit."
Here is a line!
It was almost like a dream. A large bright castle standing proudly at the edge of an island, almost like it was right out of the storybook. But it didn't fool Atticus like it fooled Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper. He could feel the breeze, yet the flags up top never moved. If anything, it was all too stiff.
When they came closer to dock the ship, it was revealed that it was actually only half a house with a giant castle cutout board covering the other side. Yet the house was what sat at the edge, meaning it wasn't just a poor choice in construction. Something happened.
As Nami questioned Robin, Atticus leapt off the ship and landed gently on the ground, Estrella gliding after him. It was almost instant, probably because of the word 'gold', Nami had Chopper on the ground digging with his antlers as Luffy walked straight into the house with just a shout and without a reply.
Atticus just left them to their antics, crouching on the ground and letting his magic crawl along the earth. Like with Warship Island, this one had some magic to it. Not as much as the other island, but enough to greet his own and make a connection.
"Seeing anything?" Estrella asked lowly.
Locals with sun-kissed skin and wings on their backs. A large man with wild red hair and tattoos. Giant serpents worshipped. The toll of a beautiful bell. A sickness spreading. A stranger landing. Friendship forged, strained, then remade. The sickness is gone. Peace returns. Rumbling. Rushing water, shaking earth. Breaking. Fear. Pain.
…Gone. Incomplete.
"It doesn't make much sense," he answered, pulling his magic back. "They're all just broken images, but I thought I heard something, too." He looked around as he rose back to full height, hands on his hips. "This place has a history to it." Robin looked to him curiously.
"Hey, Sanji, Atticus," Nami called out, picking up a book and holding it for them to see. "Isn't this the story you two mentioned earlier?"
"Liar Noland," Atticus recalled with a small smile, gently taking the book from her hands. "Yeah. I once asked my Dad if the City of Gold was 'really real'. He says that it's real so long as someone believes in it." The smile fell into a disappointed frown. "Makes me wonder just why Bellamy keeps going on like he does. He must really not get anything."
"If you know it so well, why not tell the rest of us?" Nami asked, sitting on the stump where she found the book.
"I can try," he answered with a shrug. "Four hundred years ago, a man named Montblanc Noland lived. He was an explorer that shared the most amazing stories wherever he went. One day, he went to his king and spoke of a city made of gold on an island far away. The king gathered two thousand soldiers and had Noland lead the way. They fought many sea monsters and the sea itself. When they landed on the island, only Noland, the king, and one hundred soldiers made it.
"Only to find it to be nothing more than a jungle on the island. The king imprisoned Noland for the lie and sentenced him to death. His last words were that the city had to have sunken into the ocean, but no one believed him. He was executed, and kept lying to his dying moment."
"Whoa," the others said lowly, Chopper's and Usopp's eyes wide.
"But wait," Usopp spoke up. "I know I tell a tall tale here and there, but if he was facing an execution, then he would have dropped the lie. Right?"
"That's why I believe in the city, same as my Dad," the tall blonde said with a nod and a smirk. "Even a compulsive liar would tell the truth when they're about to die. Noland kept on going about the city of gold, so it has to be real. No way would he have kept going on about it unless he truly believed its existence."
"And the only way he could believe it so completely was if he actually saw it," Nami realized.
A splash alerted them to Luffy's suddenly falling into the water. As they turned, a muscled man stood there, ready to fight. "You punks got a lot of nerve to enter a man's house without permission," he growled at them around his cigarette. "This area is my territory! You're all after the gold, right? Then prepare to die!"
He lunged towards Sanji first, his movements swift and powerful. When Sanji blocked an attack, he pulled a gun and fired. As Sanji fell to the ground, Estrella threw open her wings, knocking the man back in the opposite direction, but he quickly got back to his feet.
"Sanji!" Nami cried out in worry.
"I'm okay!" the cook yelled back. "He missed."
"At point blank range?" Atticus muttered then looked over to his agathodemon. "Estrella?"
Estrella stared down at the man, noticing that something was wrong with him. How does one miss at point blank? His eyes looked unfocused and a little bloodshot. His form wobbly just enough for her to notice, but with his speed, the others missed it. "He's sick," she informed her master just before the man suddenly fell to the ground.
Here is a line!
They got off lucky. Chopper knew what to do to help Cricket. The two brothers didn't attack them on sight and seemed to get along with Luffy well enough. And though Cricket, once conscious again, laughed at them for wanting to go to a sky island, he still spoke to them about the story, Noland himself, as well as a possible explanation as to what happened to the city.
He didn't react well when Usopp asked if he was trying to clear the name of his ancestor, apparently harboring a hatred of some kind. Of course with his family history, it was understandable.
"I have a bit of a question," Atticus spoke up. "What about if, instead of sinking, the island flew?"
"Flew?" Cricket repeated then scowled. "Impossible. It would take a great force of nature for a piece of island to just fly up to the sky. It should have been recorded somewhere. And it would have come down by now."
"We nearly got crushed by a ship that had been missing for a little more than two hundred years," the teenager pointed out. "It literally just fell almost on us in Masira's territory. Something happened here, and it hurt the island itself. When they break off and sink, it's a gradual process of erosion, somewhat gentler. The island can adapt and heal as it loses a piece of itself. But this island broke off, like snapping a twig. And it hurt."
"What are you going on about?" the man asked skeptically, staring at the tall blonde with a narrow gaze.
"Did you do that magic to magic talk again?" Zoro threw in boredly, earning a confused noise from Chopper and a gaze from Robin.
"My magic mingling with the island's magic, yes," he answered with a firm nod. "Just like on Warship Island. The magic here is weak, though. Just enough for me to get an image. Whatever happened here, it hurt this island and traumatized it. It still goes on, but it won't ever forget it." He lowered his gaze to the ground. "I also heard something. A bell, I think."
Cricket's eyes widened in surprise. "A bell?"
"Yeah, It sounded… beautiful. Mesmerizing, even."
The man hummed lowly then reach back to grab a book. "The one who claimed the sky islands existed was Noland," he explained as he drew the book from the shelf. "If you have anything to do with him, you'll end up like me and be nothing more than a joke."
"He went to a sky island before?!" Luffy exclaimed happily.
"Unfortunately, the book doesn't say," Cricket replied as he flipped through the pages. Nami identified the book as a captain's log. Cricket acknowledge that was exactly what the book is, tossing it to the navigator and telling her to read the page out loud.
"'Year of the sea 1120, June twenty-first, clear weather. I set sail from the lively city of Villa. Following the direction from the Log Pose, we went northeast-east, straight out of dock.'" She continued on reading about Noland's encounter with a merchant holding a unique object called a waver. As she went on, Noland wrote about another encounter with a fellow adventurer who possessed a 'sky fish'. Noland was unable to go see the sky islands himself due to his ship not being able to make the journey, but the others were still as excited about it. Even more so now.
As they cheered, Cricket slipped out of the house mostly unnoticed. Atticus watched him, soon following after. He listened in as the man spoke with the two brothers, but the way they were talking was unlike what Cricket sounded like earlier.
"You do believe in the sky islands," he accused, leaning against the wall.
"I believe that something is up there," Cricket replied calmly. "Getting to a sky island is dangerous. People that try to do it alone never make it, often dying. I was trying to convince them that they aren't real so they wouldn't kill themselves over it. But we decided to help you out." He grinned to the teen. "Go get your friends and we'll talk."
Here is a line!
Since compasses don't work well on the Grand Line, hence the Log Pose, no one really knew which direction was what. The only way to find the location of the Knockup Stream was to locate a South Bird, an avian that only faced south which turned out to be the direction they needed. And their only hint to appearance is a solid gold token of the bird in question.
The crew broke into small groups in search of the loud but elusive bird while Cricket and the brothers fixed up the Merry enough to handle the trip to a sky island. Atticus had no clue just what they were going to do, but he hoped the repairs he made with his magic will hold up on the ship. The poor thing is just so abused.
"So, the Knockup Stream," he mused as Estrella glided over the forest, him resting his head on hers. "They seriously couldn't come up with a better name? It makes it sound like whoever rides it will get pregnant."
"Can we please not let that happen?" Estrella returned sarcastically. "What I really want to know is what Luna was talking about concerning an 'old one'. I mean, she basically said we're going to make it there, but we have no clue about this 'old one' she mentioned."
"I guess we'll just find out when we get there," the blonde sighed as his familiar tilted in the direction of the bird's call. Screaming down below told them that the forest was giving certain crew members a rougher time than others. He wasn't that worried. Mainly it was screaming over a mass amount of insects.
The only ones that seemed excited over the bugs was Luffy and Chopper, hunting down the little creatures instead of the avian they require and were kicked out of the house to find. Though it looked more like the bird found them, somehow controlling the creatures of the forest to try and scare away the crew. When they were all gathered together, the bird started taunting them. Without the feathery menace noticing, Estrella swooped down and caught it in her mouth, her tongue wrapping around it.
"Aahh!" Chopper screamed while Estrella landed, her mouth kept tightly shut. "Don't eat it! We need that bird!"
"After everything it put us through, go ahead and enjoy the snack!" Nami shouted back.
With a chuckle, Atticus slid off his agathodemon's neck as she lowered her head. "We'll see how tough this guy really is," he said, patting his familiar's nose to coax her into opening her mouth. Her jaws opened, revealing the struggling bird with her tongue squeezing it. "Hey, birdy."
"Chooh! Chooh! Choooh!" the bird squawked at him, enraged. He blinked and looked over to their zoan doctor.
"Release me now or suffer my wrath!" Chopper translated.
"Go ahead," Atticus challenged the bird with a dark grin. "See how much of that 'wrath' actually gets us when Estrella here swallows you whole. And you'll dissolve slowly and painfully, still alive in her belly. If you don't suffocate in her throat first."
"Chooh! Choooh! Cho~oh! Choo~ooh!"
"Try it! You can watch me kill this snake from the inside out!"
"Alright then," he shrugged then looked up to Estrella. "Swallow."
As her mouth started to close, the bird panicked even more, 'choh'ing out in protest rapidly.
"Wait!" Chopper shouted, still translating. "Wait a moment! Listen! Wait! Listen to me! Listen!"
"Ease up," Atticus chuckled, Estrella opening widely once again.
"Chooh…choh-choh…choooh…"
"Perhaps I was being a little too hasty."
"Chooh. Cho~oh."
"Why are you hunting me?"
"We need your help little buddy," he told the bird, reaching into the mouth and patting the beak. "Just a little direction. Once we get where we need to be, we'll let you go. All you have to do is point the way. Sound like a deal?"
The bird stared at him with a narrow gaze in its beady eyes, looking like it was contemplating.
"Either help us or Estrella gets her snack and we grab another one of your buddies. I don't know about them, but Estrella and I can do this all night."
"…Choh…"
"Deal," the little doctor translated with a firm nod.
"Let him go," Atticus said with a smirk. The tongue unwrapped from the bird, allowing it to fly from her mouth. Instead of flying off, probably knowing it would only be caught again, it flew to Atticus and landed on his shoulder. The bird was a bit larger than anticipated, but the blonde didn't care.
"Now we have a South Bird!" Luffy cheered. "I think we should name him Southy!" The newly named bird thus flew over to Luffy and started pecking him harshly on his head, earning a series of yelps.
"We should probably get back to Cricket now," Estrella suggested after she was done flexing her jaw. "And never make me keep my mouth open like that again. I'm a little sore now."
"Sesesese, sorry," Atticus replied as the avian landed back on his shoulder, done attacking the rubber captain. "I tried to make negotiations go a little faster."
"If there is a next time, I'm eating it," she warned.
Here is a line!
All they could do for a moment was stare in shock. The brothers and Cricket, beaten up and bloody. The Merry broken. Then the scene finally registered in their minds.
Everyone rushed to the trio of injured men, Estrella and Atticus flying out to the sea to pull back Shoujou before a current caught him and swept him further away. Having him safely back on land, Atticus looked around for any kind of clue as to who did all this damage. Then he spotted it.
The Donquixote Family symbol painted on a nearby tree, pointed out to Luffy by Zoro.
That was it for the captain. There was no convincing him to drop it, no matter how much Cricket protested. He asked Robin if he would be able to make it by running along the beach, which she replied that he could.
"Hold it a second," Atticus spoke up. "Luffy, you could still get lost or distracted on the way back. Let's not risk losing our window. There's only a few hours left until dawn. Now I know there's no stopping you, so hop on Estrella and let's go get that gold back." If there is one thing he learned about Luffy, it's that when he has a target in mind, nothing will stop him. And Bellamy just made himself a target.
Luffy nodded in acceptance, calmly walking over to them despite his dark eyes and cracking knuckles. "Make sure you guys get back before dawn," Nami warned them. "We have to stay on schedule or we risk our trip to the sky islands. If we're late, the fault is on you three."
"Come on, Nami," Atticus shrugged off, pulling himself up onto the serpent behind Luffy. "We'll be back in an hour. Two tops." Looking to the bird, he smirk. "See that young lady over there? That's our navigator, meaning she's the one you need to direct. Stay with her for a while." The bird nodded solemnly, flying over to Nami and perching on the stump by her. Estrella opened her wings, lifting off with a few flaps.
"We'll be back soon!" Luffy yelled out to the crew as the agathodemon took them away.
Here is a line!
It was oddly satisfying watching the moronic brute fail. Even with his Bane-Bane no Mi, Bellamy stood no chance against Luffy. And despite the warning before, the idiot didn't seem at all bothered to try and crush Luffy. To add a little bit more flavor to the victory, his family stood with him to watch.
"The Young Master will want to know about this," Luna pointed out with a dreamy smile, her fingers playing with her cork necklace.
"Indeed," Gladius agreed with a nod then turned to Atticus. "Just what are you planning?"
Smirking, the blonde watched Luffy pick up the bag of golden statues then innocently answer the question as to where he was going. In response, he pointed upwards.
"We're going to try and find the city of gold," he answered. "Tell Dad and Mama that I will probably be out of communication range for a while. And I promise to bring back a souvenir."
"Aw, I wish I could come with," Dellinger pouted, grabbing the younger blonde's arm. "But we still have our work to do. So we'll see you when we see you! Kyahahaha!"
"Hey, when you guys see Dad, let him know something," Atticus said as Estrella glided down to allow Luffy to climb onto her back. "Bellamy is nothing more than an embarrassment to the Family. He does not deserve to wear our mark."
"We'll pass the message along," Luna promised, wrapping her arms around one of Gladius'. "Have fun."
Estrella was back in the air, heading towards them, but at a lower altitude. "We will." He jumped off the building, his familiar catching him easily before turning to fly back to Cricket's house.
Here the Chapter Ends
This went on a little longer than I usually do it, but that may be because of dialogue. Dunno.
Anyway, I tried to sum up Jaya as much as possible and next chapter, we get to the Sky Island! 8D I'm so excited!
Let me know what you guys think! Ja ne, minna-san!
