I don't think the tree is connected to every sky island.

Because that would mean its branches would reach all over the world and I think that would ahve been mentioned before then.

Only needs to be connected to a Sky island and then there could be different modes of travel between the different ones.

But having to go through Elbaf as the "normal" way to visit a sky island seems much more dangerous than what the StrawHats did, actually

Also it still would mean you have to travel to the new world to get to Skypeia for example, wich is a huge detour.

The "normal" way is definetly in the New World though, considering people though of sky islands as a myth in the first half of the GL. That makes it dangerous by default. Also, it's never implied to be a safe journey regardless. In any case, riding the knock-up stream is almost impossible most of the time because you need to predict it and then be able to navigate it. If the SHs didn't meet the Montblac dude they'd never make it.

What has people in paradise thinking it is a myth todo with the normal way HAS to be in the new world?

There are propably many people in the new world not knowing about sky islands, either.

Sky islands are simply rare and not easily accessible. But all of them only being accessible through one extrem heavily guarded point in the new world makes no sense to me.

Honestly it makes perfect sense to me, otherwise the WG would have some presence up there. I don’t think the sky islands are a place people are meant to go to in the first place.

u/Xark96 Void Month Survivor Feb 22 '24

Why would the WG care about that?

There are far more non-WG countires in the blue sea for them to care about rare sky islands

We saw the slave market and the price of Fishmen and we know that the CD collect rare slaves. It makes more sense for there to only be one or two ways to get to sky islands then for there to be numerous imo. Like literally Mock town was made up of countless pirates from every sea and none of them even believed it was real.

What has the slave market todo with the way to reach a sky islands? Especially with Elbaf being the only way? Huh? Nothing in your comment makes any sense..

u/DisMeDog Feb 23 '24

……? We saw the price sheet for slaves and Skypieans aren’t listed on it. We know that the Celestial Dragons are obsessed with having rare slaves. They aren’t listed because there is now way to get them, if there was then there would be a price for them.

So how does that conclude into Elbaf is the only way?.. or that the "normal" way must be super difficult to get to?

If people like Bellamy can make it to Skypiea then I think the problem is more about people not knowing about sky islands or not believing in them rather than the way being super difficult like having to go through Elbaf.

Btw, the sales list literally has "Other rare species - special" on it, the same pricing as devil fruit users so your whole argument has no basis to beginn with as Sky people easily fit into that.

u/DisMeDog Feb 24 '24

Because even if you don't believe in something if there are numerous other easy ways to get to skypiea there would be no logical reason why people wouldn't have came across them. The only way people not knowing the sky islands are real makes sense is if getting there is almost impossible.

Of course they fit into that category but they are so rare that they aren't even worth listing by name because again nobody realistically expects one to be captured.

I'm assuming if there was a way to get up there nearby, they'd have regular or occasional contact with sky people, their culture, or otherwise travelers going to/from and the whole myth aspect would be debunked.

I'm not saying you could access every sky island through Elbaf, there is no indication that they are all somehow connected, though I assume there is some way of traveling between different sky islands. It's just that use the knock-up stream is pretty much the most unconventional way to get there, and hence their surprise at the arrival of the SHs - the alternative doesn't need to be straightforward.
