Short Summary
The Sky Knight Gan Fall welcomes the Straw Hat Pirates to the White Sea and leaves them with a whistle to call him if they need his assistance. The crew continue their exploration of the White Sea and discover Heaven's Gate which leads them to the White-White Sea.

Long Summary
Nami scolds the Monster Trio for being useless. Chopper thanks Gan Fall for helping them, but Gan Fall says it is his duty. Luffy says that he is unable to move normally and Robin states it is because of the scarce oxygen present in the place. Gan Fall asks the Straw Hats if they are citizens of Blue Sea, and explains that an average citizen of Blue Sea can't stand here. He informs the Straw Hats that the White Sea is filled with a lot of danger and he would help them only if they pay him 50,000,000 extol for each call made by them through the whistle. He also states that the Knock Up Stream wasn't the only way to come up, making Nami cry over the difficulty she has had. He asks the Straw Hats if they lost any crew members and states that they are very brave to come here through such a dangerous method, earning his respect. He departs from the scene after giving the Straw Hats a whistle to call him.

Robin remarks that they haven't found any information relating to Sky Island. The crew then comes across a waterfall, in which Luffy goes over to investigate it. Luffy finds it is bouncy, saying it is soft like cotton, which makes Nami ponder about the phenomenon. He notices a huge door on other side and Straw Hats check it out. They come across a door that is named as Heaven's Gate, in which an old lady, whom she calls herself the "Watcher of the a Gate", appears and asks them to pay a fee to access the island, though she states that it is not compulsory to pay the money. After the Straw Hats refuse to pay the fee, the sea's Speedy Shrimp carries Going Merry to the island. Meanwhile, the gaterkeeper is seen reporting to a "god" and his priests about seven pirate interlopers.
