More than a year has passed since Lepus and his girls lived on Buttham Island.

During that time, they carried out black operations to raise money to buy Adam Wood later.

Apart from that, they also made quite a good and close relationship with the Boggart Family.

One day, Lepus who was feeling bored, suddenly told the girls that he wanted to go out for a walk.

When asked where to, Lepus answered by simply pointing up.

They didn't understand what Lepus meant, but they didn't ask any further and just told Lepus to be careful.

The destination Lepus was referring to was the Sky Island, Skypeia!

Lepus used the gap to get there.

However, Lepus did not go directly to Angel Island or Upper Yard.

Lepus decided to go to Heaven's Gate first and enter legally through there.

That was because, it would be troublesome if he was considered an uninvited guest.

Even though actually if Enel finds him, Lepus won't be worried because he can rely on his strength and abilities, but Lepus' goal to Skypeia is for sightseeing and not having troublesome battles like a certain pirates in the future. That's why he decided to enter legally through Heaven's Gate.

After exiting the gap not far from Heaven's Gate, Lepus sighed and felt gloomy in his heart.

'Hah~.... And I have to deal with that annoying old granny. Hah~.... Can't be helped.'

Lepus then walked towards Heaven's Gate.

And when he got there, Lepus saw a short old granny, Amazon.

Seeing Lepus coming, the old granny then spoke.

"Travel or Battle? Oh, it doesn't matter what your destination is. Visitors have to pay 1.000.000.000 Extol if want to pass."

Lepus once again sighed after seeing this old granny.

Then Lepus answered and took money out of his bag.

"I know. I'm traveling. It's 100.000. Right?"

Realizing that Lepus seemed to understand the procedure and the exchange rate of Extol with Beri, the old granny nodded and accepted the money.

"Yes.... Please go up!"

Lepus then boarded Heaven's Gate's 'unique' transport and was escorted to the White-White Sea.

Some time later, Lepus was dropped off at a beach there, Angel Beach.

There, Lepus then took a walk on the beach.

Some time after walking along this cloud beach, Lepus found a blonde haired girl with little white wings on her back playing with a little white fox.

Lepus recognized this girl!

'Conis!'

Conis who was playing with her pet cloud fox, Suu, then stopped and looked a bit nervous and tense after noticing that there was a visitor.

Lepus who saw Conis wary expression, smiled kindly and greeted her.

"Hello! I'm Lepus. You?"

Conis answered Lepus' question nervously.

"Heso. My name... is Conis.... This is Suu."

"Hello, Conis-chan, Suu! Nice to meet you!"

Conis still a little nervous nodded slightly.

Seeing Conis who still looked tense, Lepus felt awkward.

But luckily, not long after, someone came riding a waver from a distance.

That person was a bald middle-aged man with a thick round beard around his mouth.

Lepus also recognized this man. Namely Pagaya, Conis' father.

Arriving at the beach, Pagaya said to Conis.

"Conis-san, heso! Let's go home."

But then, Pagaya realizes someone else is here and he wonders.

Lepus then greeted him.

"Hello! I'm Lepus. I'm from the Blue Sea."

Pagaya is a little surprised then responds.

"Oh, a guest from the Blue Sea! Heso! My name is Pagaya."

"Right."

Then Lepus asked Pagaya.

"Pagaya-san, that's waver you're riding on, right? I've heard of that. Can I try riding it?"

"Riding it? Is that all right? It's quite difficult to ride a waver. I've had a lot of trouble myself."

"Oh, that's fine. I'll try first."

"O-Oh.... All right. Please."

And quickly, Lepus was able to control the waver and rode it around not far from the beach.

Pagaya and Conis are quite surprised to see this. Because they know even if sounds simple in principle, waver should be quite difficult to master and control.

After a while, Lepus returned to the beach.

He then said to Conis.

"Conis-chan, let's go for a walk!"

Lepus then pulled Conis' hand to get on the waver.

"Ah!"

Conis who was suddenly pulled was quite surprised.

After they both got on the waver, Lepus said to Pagaya.

"Pagaya-san, later!"

"O-Oh...."

Pagaya can only be dumbfounded to see them both leaving.
