Ep 165. Jaya, City of Gold in the Sky! Head for God's Shrine!

As the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates continues their journey towards the Grand Line, they arrive at Jaya Island - a place known for its legendary treasure, the City of Gold in the Sky. However, they soon find out that Jaya is not the paradise they imagined it to be. Instead, it is a lawless town filled with criminals, where survival is a daily struggle.

While exploring the island, Luffy and his friends meet a man named Montblanc Cricket, who claims to be the descendant of Noland - a legendary explorer who was once dismissed as a liar for claiming to have discovered the City of Gold in the Sky. With Cricket's help, the crew sets out to find the city and prove Noland's innocence.

Their quest takes them to the ruins of an ancient city, where they face dangerous traps and fierce enemies. Along the way, they encounter a mysterious figure known as "Bellamy the Hyena", who sees their mission as nothing but a fool's errand. Bellamy, who is notorious for his brutal fighting style, challenges Luffy to a fight, and the two engage in an intense battle.

Meanwhile, Robin goes off on her own to investigate the ruins and discovers a hidden message from Noland himself. The message reveals the true location of the City of Gold in the Sky and the secret behind its disappearance. Robin shares the information with Luffy and the others, and they quickly set out to the location described in the message.

As they approach the location, they come across a huge gate that leads to a shrine dedicated to the island's God. However, the gate is guarded by a group of powerful warriors known as "The Shandians" who are fiercely protective of their sacred land. Luffy and his friends must face the Shandians in a battle for the right to access the shrine.

The episode ends with the Straw Hat Pirates standing before the entrance to the shrine, ready to face whatever dangers await them within. As they prepare to continue their journey, they reflect on the lessons they've learned so far and the challenges that lie ahead. With each passing day, their bonds grow stronger, and their determination to find the One Piece grows ever stronger.
