Episode 152

"Sail into the Sky! Ride the Knock-Up Stream" is the 152nd episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
The Going Merry is re-fitted by Masira and Shoujou to be more flight capable, and the Straw Hat Pirates catch a ride on the Knock Up Stream and head to Skypiea.

Long Summary
The Straw Hats are awaiting Luffy's return. Nami is very upset that Luffy is taking too long and that they might miss the Knock-Up Stream. At that moment, Luffy arrives. The Straw Hat crew set out and Cricket tells Luffy that The City of Gold or the The Sky Island has not yet proven to be non-existent. He told him Luffy may be laughed at; however, that is what Romance is about. Cricket then thank him for returning the gold.

The Blackbeard crew have moved out, and are looking for the Straw Hats to capture Luffy based on his high bounty. Luffy began to make fun of the South Bird, pointing out that the bird really is uncomfortable unless facing south.

Once at sea, the Cumuloregalis Cloud is spotted and the Straw Hats and Saruyama Alliance make their way towards the cloud. The Staw Hats make their ship towards the whirlpool so as to ride the knock-up stream. Usopp, Nami. and Chopper begin to lose their nerve when they began to make their way into the whirlpool and plead with Luffy for them to go back. However, Luffy is far too excited to let them do that. Just as they got to the center of the whirlpool, the currents vanish, and Nami explains that the main event is about to occur. While waiting for the knock-up stream, the Blackbeard pirates catch up to the Straw Hats, and Blackbeard told Luffy that he is there to claim his 100,000,000 beli head. Luffy, unaware of the increase, questions Blackbeard about this, before Blackbeard raises the poster for them to see. Usopp confirms that it was a new bounty poster and informed Luffy and Zoro of their amounts, with Nami deducing that the new bounty must be a result of what occurred at Alabasta.

Just as the Blackbeard pirates prepared to attack, the Knock-Up Stream erupts, and the Straw Hats ship rode the stream towards the Cumuloregalis Cloud, aided by Nami's exceptional navigation skills. Meanwhile, the Blackbeard pirate's boat is smashed to pieces, leaving them stranded in the ocean.
