Luffy looked confused. "Up there? Do you mean, like dead?"
"NO!" Jinta shouted. "They're literally up there."
"How'd they get up there then?"
"THAT'S NONE OF YOU'RE BUSINESS!" Jinta shouted. He took in a deep breath. "Sorry. I guess the least I can do to say thanks to you is to free your nakama." Jinta walked over to the spot where the strawhats were and lowered the needle cages around them. "So how did you guys end up here in Starry Skies anyway? It's almost impossible to come here by accident and no none knows how to get here but those who arleady live here."
"Starry Skies?" Robin asked. "I've never heard of this place before."
"And there isn't anything on the maps about this island either." Nami said.
"Of course not," Jinta told them. "Because to most people, we're an undiscovered island. Starry Skies is an island that is in a gravitational hotspot; creating the beautiful stars that overshadow our island. But due to that grvitational hotspot, it causes all log poses to point dicerctly away from it. If you were to follow your log pose backwards for at least three days in most places in the grand line, you'd end up here. But who'd be stupid enought to do that."
Luffy grinned and raised his hand. "I am."
"DON'T GLOAT ABOUT IT!" Everyone yelled.
"Well you should get home Jinta," Ussop said. "You're parents must be worried about you."
Luffy tugged on Ussop's sleave. "Oi, he said his parents are up their." Luffy pointed to the sky.
"YOU MEAN THEY'RE DEAD?" Ussop jumped back.
"No, he says they're in the sky."
"The sky?" Nami was confused for a second. "Oh you mean Skypia?"
"Skypia?"Jinta asked. "Oh you mean that place in the clouds? We've heard of it but never been there. No, they're highter, in the stars."
"THAT'S SO COOL!" Luffy shouted. "How'd they get up there? I wanna go too!"
Jinta sighed. "Come on, I'll give you a history lesson." Jinta led the crew to the big hollow tree and opened a trap door by the fire pit. It lead to a room underground room lit with candles. Bookshelfs lined the stone walls and they contained old books. Jinta pulled one down from the shelfs and it had a map inside it of is a map titled "Starry Skies*. "This is a map of Starry Skies. It's not a very big island. About 50 years ago, my grandparents and everyone eles's came to this island fleeing from their former slavers. They found this island and made a home here. We soon used the island to our advantage. We were able to use the hollow treess to make houses, and they always were baring fruit. This island had everything that we needed. They thought that they had it perfect.
"But then a strange ship fell from the sky right by the island. They claimed that this island was there property. They wanted us off. Our grandparents said they would do anything to stay on this island. There was one thing they could do: Fix their Star Cannon."
"Star Cannon," Luffy asked. "What is that, some sort of weapon."
"No," Jinta responded. "It's a cannon that launches ships into the stars. Very advanced technology that came from the star people. So after it was fixed, we were able to befriend them and travel to and from the stars whenever we wanted to."
"That's so cool," Ussop said.
"It was, until he took over. The star pirate captian Blaster. He came from out of nowhere and took the star people by storm. He went and took all of our parents and made them his slaves. He broke the cannon and used his ships special engine to go back into the stars. He told us that after he took over the stars, he would come back here to take over the ocean. He said he's gonna be king of the pirates."
"No he isn't," Luffy said. "I am."
"You'd have to get through him first," Jinta told Luffy.
"I'll drive his ass into the ground then."
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Jinta shouted. "HE'S WICKEDLY STRONG! NO ONE'S A MATCH FOR HIM!"
Zoro smirked. "Then I guess he hasn't met us yet."
"What do you mean?" Jinta asked.
"We're gonna go save your parents kid," Brook told him.
"But the star cannon's broken."
"If you show me it," Franky said. "I can probably fix it for you."
"You'd really do that for us? After the way we treated you?"
"Hey, this guy says he's gonna be king of the pirates," Luffy said. "That's what I'm gonna be. And it sounds like a lot of fun too."
"And I want to see the stars for myself," Robin said.
Jinta smiled. "Thanks guys."
"NO!" Jinta shouted. "They're literally up there."
"How'd they get up there then?"
