It is said that drunk people are the most honest.

At a banquet in a half-house.

Kulikate was drunk, but he still expressed his admiration for his ancestor, the "big talker" Nolando. He subconsciously did not believe that Nolando lied.

He also mentioned Nolando's experience on Gaya Island, the strange bird calls and the sound of the prosperous bells that seemed to have been passed down from the ancient capital.

Then he took out a small golden bell, about the size of Kulikate's palm, which was evidence of the existence of the huge golden bell.

"Look at this!"

Seeing the glittering gold, Nami was excited again.

"Wow! It's a real [Golden Bell]!!"

"The workmanship is very fine, I didn't expect it to be an ancient product."

Bai Yun replied, Xiaobai took it off his hand and put it on the bell, which felt very strange.

"What's so big about this bell!?"

Usopp asked.

"Of course, this is not what Nolando is talking about. This is just a bell-shaped ingot. We found three of them on the seabed!" Kulikate replied. The gorilla brought two more bells. The three small golden bells were placed together. This is the "handmade" of the rich. The three small bells have some differences in appearance, but the workmanship is very fine. Xiaobai also began to rotate on the three bells, as if feeling which one is more comfortable. "Then it proves that the Golden City really exists! ! "Luffy asked. The gorilla leaned against the wall and replied lazily. "How can this thing be used as evidence? Ordinary ruins can also dig out such a large amount of gold." "What is the ingot?" Chopper asked curiously. Robin answered the gorilla's words for Luffy first, "But this is enough to prove that there was a civilization in this area." Then he explained what a casting block is, "[A casting block] is to facilitate calculations, to divide gold into small pieces, to experiment with the things to be cast, and can also be used for trading."

"You are really knowledgeable, Sister Robin."

Bai Yun praised.

Robin smiled back, "Bai Yun knows a lot of things too."

Bai Yun laughed, "No, no, where is it."

Kuli Kate confirmed Robin's statement.

"That's right, as for the strange bird mentioned earlier."

"Ape."

As soon as Kuli Kate called the name, the ape understood.

"Okay, old man."

Then he took out a bag and put it on the ground. The bag was removed, and there was also a golden sculpture inside, which was larger than the golden bell.

The shape is a bird's head and a human body, holding a golden bell in his hand.

"This is very big."

Zoro said.

"Wow, so beautiful."

Nami praised, maybe anything gold will be beautiful.

"This is all the gold we caught. After ten years of diving, it's not worth it to catch only this much, hahaha."

Kuliket said with a bit of self-mockery.

"What is this? A penguin?"

Luffy asked.

"This is called [Southward Bird] This bird still lives on this island."

Kuliket replied while touching the golden sculpture.

"Its cry is very strange?"

Luffy asked.

Kuliket nodded, "Yeah, just like what is said in the log."

"Speaking of the Southward Bird, in the past, it was said among sailors..."

The ape and the gorilla were excitedly preparing to tell Luffy and the others about the legend of the Southward Bird.

Kuliket suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no!!"

Everyone was startled, and Usopp asked hurriedly.

"What's wrong! What's wrong!!"

Kuliket shouted, not knowing whether it was an answer or not.

"It's a big deal. Go to the forest quickly, go to the forest in the south!!"

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"Go catch this bird, now, right now!"

Kuliket didn't answer Luffy, but pointed at the sculpture.

"What happened to that bird?"

Seeing the uncle so anxious, Sanji asked puzzledly.

Kuliket said seriously.

"Listen carefully, the direction of the sky current you are going to tomorrow is just south of the cape. Do you know how to get there?"

Luffy answered easily.

"Just sail directly south!"

"This is the Grand Line! Once you go out to sea, you can't tell east, south, west, or north!!"

Kuliket replied.

Nami also reacted.

"Yes! This time the target is not the island but the ocean current. The record pointer is useless. So what should we do? Go straight south..."

Nami lost confidence as she spoke the last few words.

"I think this kind of bird is what we need? After all, there is a word 'Nan' in its name, right, uncle?"

Bai Yun took over Nami's words.

"Well,You said that this depends on the characteristics of the south-facing bird. "

Just thinking about this question, Kulikate was awakened directly, and he is very sober now.

"Some animals have magnets in their bodies that can identify directions and know where they are."

Klikate explained.

Nami immediately replied, "Well, I heard that pigeons and salmon have this ability."

Luffy nodded as if he understood it, and looked at Zoro with a big laugh, "Oh~ So, Zoro, you are not even as good as animals, hahahaha."

The ultimate sarcasm, Luffy is sometimes "childish" and steals bamboo shoots.

"Hahahaha, it's true."

Bai Yun couldn't help laughing.

Zoro was "furious" and shouted at Luffy, "You are still qualified to say others!!"

"Okay, okay, when it comes to recognizing the road, you two are the same."

"Listen to the uncle to continue. "

Bai Yun patted the two of them and said.

Luffy pouted, "I'm obviously better than Zoro."

"But that's true, uncle, please continue."

Kuliket has become accustomed to these guys who interrupt him at any time, and continued to speak.

"【Southward Bird】 is the best animal in identifying directions."

"No matter how vast the land or sea is, it can accurately point to the south, which is also the origin of its name."

"In short, without this bird, you can't even find the direction, let alone go to Sky Island!!"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were awakened instantly by this and complained.

"Why are you talking about such an important thing now!!"

"Don't talk too much! Now go find the Southward Bird! We will help you reinforce the ship now!"

Kuliket replied loudly.

In this way, Luffy and the others were driven out of the house and began the plan to capture the Southward Bird.
