Chapter 31: Plotting For Gold Hunting.
Once reunited, the Straw Hats decided to form a campground located close to the sacrificial altar. Everyone was doing their own thing to make the most of their situation. Either talking amongst themselves or resting after a stressful day.
"Stop swiping my food Luffy~!" Ruby childishly pouted.
"Hey~! You stole my food first~!" Luffy argued.
"That's because you stole it first~!"
"Only because you butted in line!"
"That's enough you two!" Erza interrupted startling the two. "I know that we're tired after the incident, but it's time to hear everyone's field reports."
"We came across one of the Priests named Satori," Kuroko addressed. "He was using these white spheres called Surprise Balls which contained a variety of weapons, and monsters when provoked."
"Yeah you should have seen the kind of stuff he has inside those clouds," Nora said excitedly. "Crabs, explosions, fire, spears, snak-."
"I think we get it~!" Kanade disrupted. "But what made the battle peculiar and challenging was that he was anticipating our every move using a power called mantra."
"Mantra...that's the same weird technique the bald guy used on us!" Ruby exclaimed. "He was able to find our location and stabbed Cynthia's arm from so far away!"
Wendy and Shervan flinched upon hearing that. Hibiki continued. "Yeah, we didn't stand a chance against him. We're lucky that lady from Luminous Tail rescued us."
"A Priest appeared before us on the sacrificial altar," Chopper added. "He rode a bird that breathes fire."
"A bird that breathes fire?!" Natsu said looking interested.
"Yeah, he mentions something called the Ordeal of String," Index mentioned. "Which was how he defeated the Sky Knight."
Natsu pouted while turning away. "Sounds like you guys had a great time, running into the priests."
"WE DIDN'T~!" Usopp, Jaune, and Melody comically exclaimed with shark teeth.
"Well, what we discovered was that this island we're on right now...is actually the missing part of Jaya," Nami announced, causing half of them to exclaim in shocked.
"WHAT!?" Hime exclaimed.
"P-Part of Jaya...?!" Lucy stuttered. "How's that possible!?"
"Remember Cricket's house?" Wannai mentioned. "Well, we saw the other half of it near the shoreline."
"Wait, so you're saying that the Upper Yard is actually the missing part of Jaya?!" Kuroko asked surprised.
"That would also explain why the South Birds are more common in the Upper Yard," Pyrrha added.
"Yeah, and they're larger too!" Chopper acknowledged. "Cynthia and the others rode on them back to the island."
Misaka turned to Ruby. "You guys rode on a South Bird?!"
"Yeah, it was amazing!" Ruby shouted. "Eguchi said they use it to fly over to the shops for food."
"Who's Eguchi?" Megumi asked.
"...There was also part of Luminous Tail," Ruby answered.
"Speaking of which, I suspect that boy we encountered revealed some special information," Weiss announced.
"Are you talking about they're more Dragon Slayers like Shervan?" Motoharu questioned with a teased look. "...Or that the boy has a crush on Yuko after she punches him?"
Megumi and Hime reacted by comically spit take. They then stared at Yuko who blushed a bit looking away.
"The first one obviously!" Weiss snapped.
"Wait, another dragon Slayer?!" Cynthia and Natsu exclaimed.
"According to what Dimanu said, he calls us the Octadic Slayer…" Shervan explained quietly. "While we were fighting, he mentions they were eight of us being involved with Crimson Blood. He told me that he's the Sea Prism Stone Dragon Slayer."
"Interesting, a Dragon Slayer who uses Prism Stones as his element," Robin explained."I guess he would have an advantage against Devil Fruit eaters."
"His fighting techniques are somewhat similar to Gajeel," Erza added. "But I admit that he's not someone you should disregard when fighting."
"Gehe~!" The Iron Dragon Slayer snickered. "I never got the chance to land a hit on him last time. I wanna see if my iron can handle his stone."
Shervan slowly glances at Cynthia who was talking with Ellen. He wanted to ask her if she knew she was part of the Octadic Slayers, but Ruby spoke next after Gajeel.
"Oh~! Oh~! Also..." Ruby dramatically pointed to Awatsuki. "Maaya has a devil fruit ability!"
...
…
... Awatsuki who sheepishly chuckled nervously as everyone minus, Charla, Happy, Lily, Levy, Jaune, Beat, Ruby, Robin, Cynthia, Jackal, Melody, Wannai, and Shervan exclaimed in horror, shock surprised and amazed.
"Y-You're kidding?" Misaka exclaimed in shock. She turned to her. "I-Is that true Awatsuki?"
"Yes...but it was an accident," Awatsuki replied.
"How do you accidentally eating a devil fruit?" Zoro questioned.
"The same way how you "accidentally" wander off in the wrong direction?" Raymond joked, causing Zorro to click in annoyance.
"Technically, she didn't eat it," Ellen clarified. "Eguchi accidentally gave her a Devil Juice thinking it was medicine."
"Devil Juice? I reckoned that's how non-living materials can obtain devil fruit powers" Robin said.
"Hold on…inanimate objects can get devil fruit powers?" Misaka eyes raised oddly.
"Yeah, we've fought against one in Alabasta," Usopp mentioned. "Mr. Four from baroque works had a gun that turns into a dog."
"So what kind of Devil Fruits do you have," Luffy asked eagerly. "Can you poop up meat out of your but?!"
"What kind of sick powers are you thinking about?!" Princess exclaimed in disgust.
"Her devil fruit has something to do with the moon…?" Ruby answered looking a bit dubious.
"You mean she can turn herself into a giant moon?!" Megumi wondered. Wannai imagined Awatsuki's body growing big and fat like the moon causing her to freak out a bit.
"No, you jackass!" Jackal scoffed. "He said something about how the brat can turn herself into moonlight and phase through objects."
Wannai sighed a bit relief while Gray commented on the demon. "It makes sense, but kind of odd coming out of your mouth."
"Tsk, I'm not that dumb compared to the loser fireball," Jackal bragged.
"WHAT DID YAH CALL ME?!" Natsu exclaimed angrily with shark teeth.
"Now is not the time for a screaming match," Misaka scolded the two before turning to Awatsuki. "Awatsuki does it hurt when using your ability?"
"No, although...I did felt a bit light-headed when I used it for the first time," Awatsuki answered.
"Can you show us a bit of it Mayaa?" Natsu eagerly asked.
Last Order joined in."Yeah please show us! Misaka Misaka hyperactive said."
Awatsuki nodded as she lifted her arm. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard. She felt a tingle in her left arm, indicating that it works but to the others, nothing changed.
"Did it work?" Happy asked.
"Nyah I don't see anything different," Hummy added unsurely.
Being the closest, Index reaches out to touch her outstretched arm and her eyes widened in disbelief when her hand phase through Awatsuki's arm.
"AHH! SHE'S A GHOST!" Usopp yelled.
Yang immediately slammed her fist above the sniper's head. "Are you trying to get me death!?"
"That's amazing Awatsuki!" Wendy said in awed.
Lovely nodded. "Yeah, I wish I had a cool Devil Fruit like yours!"
"Congratulations Awatsuki!" Wannai said with a smile on her face. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Really?" Awatsuki asked surprised. "You don't think it's weird?"
"Only in a good way," Wannai nodded. "Devil Fruit or not you'll still be my best friend."
"If you two are done with your friendship crap," Jackal rudely interrupted. He then turned to Cynthia. "The brat has something to say."
Ignoring the insult, Cynthia continued. "Erza do you know the person who's the leader of Luminous Tail? Because he mentions your name."
"...So you saw Simon too?" Erza finally confessed. This earned a gasped, from Gray, Lucy, Happy and Juvia.
" S-Simon!?" Lucy exclaimed.
"H-He's alive!?" Gray added.
Natsu just stared at them with a dumbfounded expression on his face. "...Who?"
"You don't remember!?' Happy shouted in shocked. "He was the guy who was at the Tower of Heaven. You know the one who died saving you and Erza from Jellal's magic?!"
Natsu pondered a few seconds before realizing it. "Oh...WAIT HE'S ALIVE!?"
'He was the one who saw him die at the tower of heaven,' Gray and Lucy sweatdropped.
"Judging by your reaction that you know the leader of Luminous Tail," Ellen said. "They were responsible for separating us, and cloning George and Accelerator."
"Which I single-handedly defeated," Hime proudly said.
Garjeel clicks his teeth looking annoyed. "The brat suddenly has an ego. I kinda want to peg her down a notch."
"You're just jealous that you couldn't beat the clone," Princess argued with a sly smirk.
"You know it pisses me off to hear a stupid replica of me was taken down by the little girl," Accelerator frown for a few seconds before smirking."But making you two shit your pants in fear when I appeared was worth it."
"Ooh~! I would love to see that!" Karine said excitedly.
"Okay, things are getting a bit kinky around here," Raymond commented.
"SHUT UP!" Gajeel and Princess comically shouted at the three.
"Alright, everyone!" Usopp announced loudly getting everyone's attention. "Thanks to all of the reports we've obtained, we've come up with a conclusion thanks to the data! Now it turns out that this island is the very El Dorado that the Monkey Mountain Allied Force was searching!"
"Really?! No way~!" Luffy and Ruby exclaimed in shock.
"Nami just reporting that earlier," Weiss sweatdropped
"Chopper did you want me to mash some more?" Wendy asked while grinding some medicine for the Sky Knight.
"Yes please," He answered. "Make it easy to swallow since his digestive system might've been hurt pretty bad."
"So we're finally going to find some gold huh?" Yang said grinning.
"Yup this is an adventure I've been waiting for!" Luffy nodded.
"The city of Eldorado! I can't wait to see what it's like!" Ruby said excitedly bouncing on her feet.
"Treasure! Treasure!" Hummy, Index, and Last Order chanted.
"If our captain is interested then it makes things easier!" Nami grinned.
"Weren't you the one who wanted to leave?" Touma questioned the navigator.
"Don't," Zoro told him while shaking his head. "It's not worth figuring this crazy girl's mood swings."
"Um...did anyone of you just forget about the Shandian's warning?" Usopp asked.
"As well as the fact that we're in the middle of a war between the Shandians, Eneru's forces, and Luminous Tail?!" Hime added.
"The Shandians and Eneru's forces maybe, but Luminous Tail...If Simon their leader, we should consider them as allies, right Erza," Lucy asked Erza.
"I agree," Shervan nodded. "Dimanu didn't have any malice towards me, he just wanted to fight me for fun."
"Still...if they challenge us then don't underestimate them," Erza ordered. "Luminous Tail may engage us in combat unless the Shandians or the Priests interfere."
"Dibs on the Dragon Slayer~!" Gajeel called out.
"We're making God angry though," Chopper shivered in fear.
"Well, he can be angry all he wants!" Nora said. "For what he made Connis and Pagaya do to us, or die? It's personal!"
"Hell Yeah, we're taking him and his priests down!" Natsu declared.
"Aye!" Happy added.
Robin giggled by everyone's enthusiasm. "This is going to be fun."
"I wonder how many heads will roll tomorrow," Accelerator said with his graze grin.
"That's...a bit too morbid," Pyrrha sweatdropped.
"When there's treasure in our path, it's normal for pirates to go after it," Sanji said.
"Plenty of enemies around us," Zoro grinned. " This is a game of survival."
"Yeah, we need to give it our all to survive," Cynthia agreed.
"Then it's decided...! Tomorrow we're going to find that gold!" Luffy announced.
A huge explosion was heard as the conflict between the Shandians and the Priests continued on. Wyper had just blasted Gedatsu right in the face with his cannon launching him across the clearing, KO'd.
Wyper turned to Ohms who was riding on top of Holly. The dog nimbly avoids the cannonballs being fired by the Shandians while Ohms lashed out every single warrior that charged right at him.
"Those two together are a problem," Laki said.
"We need to separate them!" Kamikiri declared.
"Hey, I've got an idea!" Genbo said as he raced with the two Shandians following.
Ohm's continued to overpower the Shandians with his sword but heard an explosion. The priests looked up and noticed a massive tree falling. He caught a glimpse of Genbo with his cannon emitting some smoke.
Ohm and Holly quickly split up to avoid being crushed by the tree. While they were separated, the Shandians began firing cannons at Holly. Despite taking a ton of hits, the massive dog didn't seem to affect by the explosions.
On the other side of the fallen tree, Ohms was just about to whistle his pet but stopped when he senses three shandians preparing an ambush in the bushes.
"Three attackers," Ohm mumbled. He grabbed his sword and swung it at his attackers. His sword extended like a whip towards the spot where the Shandians were going to be, launching all three of them in the air.
Laki perched on a branch far away, firing multiple rounds from her rifle at Holly. Realizing her shots are ineffective, she leaped down to another branch to get the perfect shot.
Holly noticed her and leaped up in the air swatting Laki with his paw. Laki was sent flying, but her bag was caught by Ohm's sword.
"Laki!" Genbo shouted.
Wyper called out to Braham up ahead. "Hey, can you get a shot at him!"
"Not without hitting her," Braham answered.
"Damn her," Wyper gritted his teeth.
"You look so sad dangling there while all your hope drains away," Ohm smirked as he watched the dirt in Laki's backpack drain out.
Laki scowled as he activates her skies causing her to propelled her forward and flipped over on Ohm's sword. She the aim her rifle point-blank in his face.
Ohm swatted the rifle away from his just as Laki pulled the trigger. He then threw Laki off of his sword causing the female Shandian to be free-falling, with no way of dodging Ohm incoming sword strike.
Kamakiri dove in on his surfboard and tackled Laki just as Ohm's sword came down.
"NOW~!" Braham and Wyper fired their respective weapon at Ohm who countered it by swinging his sword. The blade flew through both of the Shandians rounds and completely cleaved the branch that they were on. Luckily they managed to jump off it.
"Thanks, I owe you one Kamakiri," Laki said to him but froze in horror once she witness wound he received from the sword.
"Kamakiri!" Laki shouted
"NOO!" Genbo screamed by his comrade's injuries.
"Wyper! Kamakiri down!" Braham informed.
Ohm scoffed. "You were so close to victory but you never even had a chance. Once night falls, I'll have an even greater advantage. You'll lose your sight, but I'll still see all your attac-."
Suddenly an explosion startled everyone followed by a whining sounds coming out of Holly.
"Holly!" Ohm shouted angrily. He noticed a muscular man emerging out of the dust cloud.
"Sorry, but your pet is taking a dirt nap right now," Simon declared with a sly grin on his face. Behind him the dog laid unconscious.
"That's Luminous Tail's Leader," Laki sputtered by the appearance. She remembered only getting a glimpse of the man a few days ago. "Simon Smelt."
"How dare you harm my comrade Luminous scum," Ohms growled and furiously lashed out his iron whip-like sword. Simon responds by using his hands out causing the sword to bounce off.
"What?! He blocked the hit!" Genbo exclaimed.
"He's a paramecia type, just like the straw hat," Wyper said.
"Is that all you got for your iron ordeal?" Simon joked revealing that he had iron gauntlets.
Simon then lunged at Ohm, who quickly formed an iron wall with his sword. That didn't stop Simon as he punched the wall, causing both the wall and his gauntlet to shatter.
"I heard that the people from Luminous Tail were powerful, but I never expect the leader to overpower Ohms that easily," Laki said in awe.
Ohms was startled by how easily he broke through. "He broke through my wall!?"
"This is for Inoma!" Simon roared as he pulled back his other fist, landing a punch into the Priest's gut. The force was enough to send Ohm's flying and crashed into a tree.
"Damn it," Ohm was still conscious from the hit but felt winded from that punch.
"You need to retreat now!" Simon called out to Wyper. "You have a ton of wounded warriors. You won't stand a chance fighting Eneru and his second wave. Plus Shura and Gedatsu are still up and running!"
Wyper glared at Simon but knew that he couldn't push forward only to lose more warriors. He noticed Gedatsu waking up and decided to concede defeat.
"WE'RE MOVING OUT!" Wyper called out his men. "GRAB OUR WOUNDED AND MEET BACK AT THE RENDEZVOUS POINT NOW!"
Ohm angrily shouted. "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!"
"Ohms, wait..." Gedatsu called out weakly walking towards him.
"What do you want you useless fool!?" Ohm snapped annoyed.
"The Almighty Eneru has summoned us," Hearing this Ohm was quiet, knowing better not to disobey Eneru. He just watches as the Shandians and Simon bounced off through the forest.
Back at the camp, the Straw Hats were winding down after the reports. Sanji, Kanade, and Touma were in charge of making the stew. Zoro, Yang, Accelerator, and Chopper went out to gather some food, as well as making sure Zoro doesn't get lost.
Luffy was staring at the pot boiling with a bored expression on his face. He then started rolling around on the ground like a little child having a tantrum. "Man~! This is soo boring!"
"You're not supposed to watch the water boil, idiot," Sanji reminded. "When the waters done filtering then put in the flask. You want to have clean water for tomorrow don't you?"
Blake and Shervan who were an earshot away sweatdropped as they watch their captain having a tantrum. "Luffy's really an...odd captain…" Shervan quietly commented.
"Not as odd as our leader," Blake replied. The two witness Erza changing into her Lightning Empress Armor in front of the exciting Ruby.
"Oh my Gosh!" Ruby squealed with starry eyes. "That is a beautiful armor Erza, and the spear looks really cool~! Can you shoot bullets out of it!?"
"Nothing of the sorts, It does, however, helps me go toe to toe against lighting users, as well as produce lightning magic," Erza explained.
"So you have armors for every element?" Motaharu asked joining in.
"Not all elements, only fire, water, and electricity," She answered. "I have other kinds of armor that increase my mobility, defense, or offense."
"I see," Motaharu nodded slowly and then smirked. "So that means there's an armor that has super bunny girl powers."
Erza turned to him looking shocked and blushing, while Ruby just blinked confused. "H-How did you know about that?"
"I was right," Motaharu teased. "I guess even the mighty Titania can have a kink of bunny gi-"
BANG!
BONG!
BONK!
With her head steaming red, Erza stomped off leaving the spy on the ground with multiple bumps on his head.
"Hey wait for me~! I still want to see more of your armors and weapons!" Ruby called out as she chased after her.
'S-Scary,' Shervan and Blake thought while staring at the unconscious blond.
"SHERVAN~!" Karine rudely shoved Blake off the log and sat beside her crush. "Are you okay?! How are your wounds? Do you want me to kiss it again?"
"N-No thanks~!" He immediately answered, blushing. "... I'm fine really!"
"I'm glad you're okay. That metal face guy looks really cute, but not as cute as you!" Karine resting her head on his shoulder.
"..." Shervan stuttered his body turning red and was close to having a mental breakdown. Luckily, George lifting the girl by the back of her collar.
"You better not being using Shervan as your scapegoat from your duties," George warned.
"O-Of course not!" Karine stuttered nervously. "I-I was just taking a break~!"
"Well, I need to talk to you about something important for tomorrow," George ordered. "You can talk to Shervan later.'
"No~!" Karine whined while being dragged away. The young dragon slayer sighed in relief. He turned to Blake who laying face down on the ground.
"Uh sorry about that Blake," Shervan apologize, as she helped her up.
"You really need to stop apologizing for everything," Blake mumbled. "She really likes you doesn't she?"
"Yeah...to be honest...she wasn't always like that," Shervan said. "When I first met her back at Crimson Blood, she used to hate males...like how Kuroko does."
"I don't hate males!" Kuroko shouted. "Just boys who are near my sissy!"
"S-Sorry~!" Shervan blurted out in fear.
'He's really being deferential,' Blake thought with a sweatdrop.
"She uses to hate males?" Jaune asked overhearing the conversation.
Shervan nodded looking away a bit. "I-I don't know much about it since she never talks about her past ...but it had something to do with her brother."
"Her brother…" Jaune nodded slowly look a bit upset.
"Hey, we've got some grub!" Yang called out. She along with Accelerator, Zoro and Chopper came back from the forest with some food.
"Great work Yang~!" Sanji gushed.
"We've got some walnuts, bananas, aloe, and garlic!" Chopper said showing them to Sanji.
"Also some rats and frogs," Zoro said revealing some small animals in his hands.
"And a tiger that tried to eat me," Accelerator replied pointing to a dead tiger that Yang was carrying.
"Holy crap that's huge!" Misaka exclaimed in shock.
"Chop the small stuff up and throw them in the stew," Sanji stated.
"H-Hold on! You're putting some freaky ingredients in there!" Hime complained.
"Oh silly me," Sanji answered bashfully. "I forgot...Nami hates garlic."
"THE GARLIC'S THE ONLY GOOD THING!" Hime comically barked with shark teeth.
"I never actually tried frog legs before," Wannai said looking excited.
"Me too, I wonder how they'll taste," Awatsuki added.
"It tastes like chicken," Raymond answered. "Only slimmer and chewy! And they make you feel sick."
"That's because you ate a poisonous cane toad," Shervan informed.
"You ate a cane toad?!" Touma blurted out at the boy.
"Yeah...I thought I was gonna die," Raymond said sheepishly. "Good thing I barf up all the poison!"
"Seriously, what's with guys and eating everything they come across?" Lucy sighed.
"Well in this situation they need to be resourceful," Raymond reminded. "I mean I didn't have any money. So I decided to hunt for anything I can come across."
"Ooh, that's beautiful," Megumi awe observing what Robin found.
"Is that a gem?!" Nami asked eagerly.
"It may look pretty as a gem, but it's not," Robin said. "It's rock salt."
"Rock salt, where did you get that?" Ellen asked.
"I found it on the lakeshore," Robin responded. "It may come in handy."
"You bet it is," Sanji said. "Salt rock may be essential for survival."
"I'm going to use half of the garlic, and aloe to make a disinfected ointment," Chopper said.
"Ointment?" Cynthia repeated.
Chopper nodded. "An antiseptic burning ointment to heal the Sky Knight's burned."
"You need frogs?" Zoro asked.
"What kind of ointment uses frogs?!" Cynthia exclaimed.
"No thanks," Chopper replied.
"Hey Zoro, I need your help!" Sanji called out.
A few minutes later, the swordsman growled as he found himself taking a stone out of the pot by using his own swords. "My sword is not made for this!"
"Shut up," Sanji shot back. "Obey the chief or starve. That's your choice!"
"You should say kiss the chief or starve," Yang joked.
"SHUT UP!" Zoro and Sanji barked at Yang with shark teeth.
"Oh I never tried eating a rock before," Luffy eagerly said. "Are they tasty?"
"Unless you want a rock hard diet," Yang grinned.
"I have a proposal," Shirabe announced. "People who make puns will starve to death."
"You're kidding right?" Yang asked a bit nervously.
"I agree," Ruby called out while she shot her hands up.
"Me too," Weiss added also raising her hand up.
"Third the option," Blake raised her hand up.
"So mean!" Yang pouted childishly.
"Seriously though, are we gonna be eating the rock?" Natsu asked.
"No," Sanji replied."The stone heat boils the stew from the inside out. Trust me, you'll need a lot of nutrients to survive this place."
"Smell really good!" Luffy sniffed after he lifts the lid. Sanji slammed his heal above his captain's head.
"Keep your hands off!" Sanji yelled.
"But I'm hungry!" Luffy whined.
"Weren't you just scarfing two sky sharks earlier?" Kanade reminded.
"Make that three," Megumi pouting angrily. "He took Ruby and mine while we weren't looking."
"Those were just appetizers," Luffy bluntly remarked.
"How were those appetizers!?" Megumi and Kanade exclaimed.
"He has a rubber stomach," Nami deadpanned.
"Hey has anyone seen Usopp?" Jaune asked looking around.
"He's at the shore preparing to swim across the altar," Erza answered.
"You're kidding right?" Zoro doubted. "He doesn't have a problem with the giant sharks?"
As soon as he said that, Usopp came back nervously sweating but hide it with a proud look. "I've decided to do it tomorrow! The ship will still be broken. Let's eat!"
"What a moron," Yang and Zoro mentally said.
"Alright everyone dinner's ready!" Sanji announced. He handed off four special bowls with heart-shaped carrots to Chopper and Kanade. "One is for you Kanade and the three are for the ladies. I'll have some more for the other ladies later."
"Sure," Chopper and Kanade nodded. They gave special dishes to Nami, Robin, Erza, and Karine.
"Alright, if anyone could listen while they eat," Nami called out. "We'll explain how we'll handle this tomorrow~!"
After Kanade handed the dishes to Robin and Nami. She got the next dishes to Lucy and Index.
"This looks tasty Sanji~!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Thank you, Sanji~!" Index said she began scarfing down her bowl.
Shervan face paled up when he oddly got the special soup with heart-shaped carrots. 'This might give me the wrong impression,'
A sudden idea pop out of his head. 'W-wait~! Maybe I can give to...C-Cynthia!…'
He glanced at her who was sitting beside Wendy. However, he was saddened when Wendy offered the same soup he got to her, causing his crush to give her a bright smile, that made him blush bigger.
Shervan felt a pit of jealousy to form in his stomach, but he tried to shake it off. 'I shouldn't be thinking that way! They have known each other for a long time. Just like Raymond, George, Karine and I.'
"I-I think this is for you," Shervan looking down while offering the bowl to the black Faunus, beside her.
"...Thank you," Blake remarked, staring oddly at the soup.
"What the hell?!" Gajeel questioned observing the soup. "Why is mine filled with carrots heart-shaped?!"
Sanji had veins popping above his head. "It wasn't made for you, tin can!"
"Um, Sanji…" Kanade called out. While Sanji was getting angry at Gajeel, he didn't notice that he was giving soup continuously to Luffy.
"Keep it coming Sanji, it's really good," Luffy exclaimed.
"THAT'S NOT FOR YOU IDIOT!" Sanji yelled as he lashed the pan down on Luffy's head.
"You jerk!" Luffy shouted pouting a bit. "I was paying you a compliment!"
"If you are all done with your comical relief," Weiss scolded. "I believe we're going to discuss how we're going to find the gold tomorrow."
"Right let's review," Nami declared. "Noland discovered the City of Gold four hundred years ago. However, after leaving the island and returning with his King, he found that the gold ruins had vanished. Luckily, we now know what happened to these ruins. The gold didn't sink into the ocean like the story said but was instead shot up here into the sky by the Knock-Up Stream just like we were."
"Still it's hard to believe that a whole island could've done it," Kuroko said. "But judging by the evidence, it's the only thing that makes sense."
"Your right, " Robin said. "I believe it has something to do with the odd composition of the island clouds up here. The trees and the wildlife, something about this environment dramatically increases growth rates which explains why a society here could have been swallowed up by these emerging forces."
"So why were those South Birds so concerned about the old man anyway?" Misaka wondered.
"According to what Eguchi said. The South Birds kept referring to the Sky Knight as God," Charla answered.
"H-He's a GOD?!" Hime, Megumi, Hibiki, and Luffy exclaimed in shock.
"So all we have to do is beat the crap out of that old guy then our job will be done!?" Natsu asked pointing to the Gan Fall. Pierre squawked and covered his partner with his wings.
"No, you idiot!" Usopp exclaimed.
"How did you get that out of what she was saying!?" Lucy added.
"Besides we're here to find the gold, not to dethrone a super-powerful God," Nami reminded him.
"Which brings to our second topic," George announced as he and Karine returned. "Do anyone remember what Noland told us about the City of Gold?"
"Oh, I know!" Luffy called out. "It's a city of gold!"
"Thank you for answering captain dumbass!" Gajeel comically snapped.
"I think he mentions something about South Birds and a giant gold bell," Sanji recalled. "Of course, there could be a lot more."
"The last thing he wrote in the log before died was something odd," George responded. "It says the City of Gold is in the skull's right eye."
"Skulls right eye?" Gray pondered.
"That's it!" Nami announced figuring the puzzle out. She obtained two maps and spread them out of the others to see. "If you take the map of Jaya and match it up to Sky Island, which we established to be the missing part Jaya...then this is what the island of Jaya looked like four hundred years ago!"
The Straw hats stared down at the two combined maps, revealing the skull skull-shaped
"Neat~! It's the skull!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Right now, we're at the edge of the forest surrounding the clearing where the altar is located," Iona said while scanning the map. She pointed at a circular clearing. "That's the skull's left eye."
"Which means the clearing here is the skull's right eye," Blake added.
"Okay, but wherein the skull's right eye?" Gray questioned.
"I'm thinking right here," Nami answered as she pointed to a small structure in the middle of the right clearing. "It's the one structure that actually inside the eye. And no one's found it yet because of all the people who tried, we're the ones who have both maps."
"It kind of makes sense," Zoro remarked.
"HIDDEN TREASURE!" Luffy and Natsu shouted.
"TREASURE!" Chopper, Last Order and Hummy cheered.
Back in Luminous Tail hideout everyone was gathering in a certain area known as the training room. Dimanu and Jarnal were in the middle of a fierce hand to hand combat. while Akita, Inoma, Moani, and the man that saved Awatsuki named Truvan Fortin.
Jarnal landed a fierce haymaker to Dimanu's jaws. He recovered from the blow to land a solid punch to his guts, causing the boy to slide back.
"Do those two really need to do this now?" Truvan questioned.
"They told me that this is their final match of the day," Akita answered.
Jarnal and Dimanu continued exchanged blows in rapid speed until Dimanu overpowered him with his own uppercut. Luckily Jarnal backflipped onto his feet rubbing his chin.
"What's the matter? Can't take an uppercut?" Dimanu taunted.
"I have just about enough of your cocky attitude," Jarnel snarled with a crazed grin. His hands covered in shadow like mist. "Time to get serious."
Dimanu's fists glowed turning into prism stone covered gauntlets. "Oh? So you were just holding back?"
"They're getting serious," Moami said in sign language to the others. The two lunged at each other, with their fist pulled back.
"Prism Stone Dragon: Meteor Mash!"
"Venom Demon Knuckle!"
"Enough!" Moses demanded while his fists slammed above both of the boy's head, instantly knocking them out. "Honestly, this is no time for training. Simon has a plan to overthrow Eneru and he needs all of us 100% compatible."
"Y-You should probably have said that first before hitting them," Akita sweatdropped.
"Where were you, Moses?" Moani questioned in sign language.
"I was scanning the area for intruders," Moses answered. "It seems as though the straw hats aren't the only raiders on the Upper Yard."
"More invaders?" Inoma repeated.
"Affirmative," Moses nodded. "While scanning the area, I've felt five unknown voices throughout the Upper Yard. Two of them just appeared with their own motives so we shouldn't worry about them. However...the remaining three aren't ones we should take lightly. They're none other than the Ultimate Elites."
Dimanu and Akita were the only ones who flinched upon hearing that. He quickly sat up and chuckled. "So...they've managed to find me..."
"Y-You mention how tough they were before…" Inoma said looking frightened.
"Yeah, however, I only saw one of the Ultimate's abilities," Dimanu replied. "If they send her after me...then we're good as dead."
"You mean the individual that resembles an actual dragon?" Truvan questioned.
"Yup," Dimanu nodded as he turned to Moses. "Can you tell us who the three are?"
"I can't even identify the two intruders, how do you expect me to figure the remaining three?" Moses grimaced with a sweatdrop.
Back in the Shandian's camp, the warriors were tending injuries during the fight and were rested. Wyper was in a bitter mood after that fight.
"Wyper," Genbo called out. While rested against a tree.
"How serious are Kamakiri's injuries?" Wyper asked.
"Well, he's tending to him right now," Genbo replied. "He's back there."
"Is he going to make it?" Wyper questioned.
"See for yourself," Genbo answered. Wyper noticed Kamakiri injured his arm.
"I didn't expect him to be defeated like that," Wyper confessed.
"I-I'm sorry," Laki suddenly announced. "It was my fault he was dying because of me."
Wyper glared at Laki. He marched at her and snatched the Aisa's bag from Laki's hands.
"Is this what was so distracting you in battle, Laki?" Wyper demanded angrily. "Are you here to sabotage us? Get in our way and slow us down?"
"No, I'm not," Laki answered. "I feel awful for Kamakiri."
"We're fighting the Priests," Wyper reminded her. "We can't afford to be off-task at all if we plan to make it to God's shrine!"
"I know that apologies won't fix anything, but…" Laki remarked. She starred at the bag Wyper had. "So give this back to me now! This is Aisa's bag!"
Laki grabbed the bag and attempted to pull it away from Wyper grip which was firm. "I promise to gather some for Aisa! Please give it back!"
"Would you stop!?" Wyper growled tugging it back.
"You two seem to fight like a married couple," Simon chuckled as he came out of the tent. The two glared at him causing his chuckling to slow down. "Anyway, I treated Kamakiri wounds the best I could. It's not perfect but..."
As Simon said that, Kamakiri appeared out. His body was heavily covered in bandages, but he was still able to stand. Laki and Wyper stared at him a bit surprised, ignoring the Vearth which dropped into the clouds.
"Kamakiri!" Laki said worriedly. "You shouldn't be standing right now!"
"I can still fight," Kamakiri reassured. He then turned to Wyper. "Wyper, you're right about this being our best time to strike. With one of the Priests gone it makes it easier, however…"
The bandages man turned to Simon. "You might want to hear this guy out. Because...he makes a convincing statement."
Kamakiri walked off with Laki following behind. This was leaving the two leaders alone. The relationship between Luminous Tail and Shandians was unknown to Wyper. He knew their group saved his comrades countless times, yet they have the strength to defeat the Priests and possibly Eneru yet they instead aid his soldiers. He never asked him to treat one of his soldiers, and yet he didn't stop him.
"So what do you want from us?" Wyper questioned suspiciously.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause a commotion," Simon said noticing the leader's glare. "I'm here to offer you to join forces."
"Man that what you call a gourmet meal," Luffy sighed looking satisfied. Everyone had just finished their meals and they were contented. Chopper and Jaune offered to carry everyone bowls to the pot.
"Hey, do you think it will be sunny again?" Wendy asked looking up at the dark sky.
"Yeah, I mean the weather still changes while we're up here?" Cynthia added.
Usopp was poking the firepit with a stick. "I think since we're above the clouds, the weather might be sunny I guess."
"We should put out the fire if we don't need it," Robin suggested.
"Why Misaka Misaka asked?" Last Order asked.
"It's a safety precaution," Erza answered. "We don't want our enemies having the advantage against us while we're sleeping."
"Hump, what a rookie move," Luffy remarked. This caused Cynthia, Robin, Wendy, and Erza to be surprised. "You heard that Usopp? She wants us to douse the fire. What are we gonna do?"
"Don't be too hard on her," Usopp replied. "It's not her fault. She has never been exposed to this kind of living before."
"...What are you two talking about?" Robin asked a bit confused.
The two boys turned her and then immediately threw themselves down at her feet and started sobbing, making Robin even more confused.
"YOU'RE ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CAMPFIRE WHEN YOU CAMP!" Luffy cried. "THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT CAMPING!"
"T-That's your reason!?" Cynthia exclaimed in comical disbelief.
"Yeah!" Usopp added. "It's a force of the flames fighting through all this wilderness! It reminds us that we're human!"
"Uh...I don't think that what makes a human," Wendy sweatdropped.
"It's never-ending with those idiots," Nami muttered.
"But you gotta admit, a camp without a campfire is like Gray without stripping," Raymond said.
"Why does everything involves around Gray and stripping?" Weiss groaned annoyed.
"Yeah, I don't do it all the time!" Gray added also annoyed.
"...Where are your pants?" Touma questioned noticing Gray was in his boxers.
"Seriously!?" Gray comically exclaimed.
"Would you lay off the sob stories!?" Iona scolded Luffy and Usopp. "You know how dangerous this island can be, we shouldn't let our enemies have the advantage!"
"Don't care," Luffy answered.
"You're really that fearless aren't you?" Cynthia questioned whether to compliment his fearless nature or not.
"She's right though," Nami agreed to Iona. "We're in the middle of a war between the Priest protecting the Gods, the guerrilla forming a coup, and a rebel group doing hell knows what! And if it wasn't worse, there are some bloodthirsty monsters waiting around every corner!"
"NOT MONSTERS!" Chopper shrieked.
"Sky Island is scary ...Sky Island is scary," Usopp chanted terrified.
"Nami broke Usopp," Cynthia commented.
"Hey, Luffy~! Is this big enough?!" Zoro called out. He along with Natsu, Sanji, Motaharu, and Raymond were behind a large stack of logs that stood six feet tall.
"T-That big!" Wendy and Cynthia exclaimed in awe.
"This is just like our annual bonfire back at Academy CIty," Motaharu said.
"CAN YOU IDIOTS THINK FOR ONE SECOND!?" Nami comically yelled with shark teeth.
"Don't worry Nami," Natsu said pumping his fist together while smirking. " I'll pound any monster that tries to attack us."
"That and, wild animals are afraid of fire," Sanji added. Just as he said that yellow glowing eyes emerged out of the darkness., getting everyone's attention.
"They're surrounding all of us!" Wendy quickly got up.
"You guys couldn't stay one minute without causing problems," Shirabe sighed.
"It's not like we wanted to lure it!" Nami snapped.
"Good," Gajeel cracked his knuckles smirking. "We have some dummies to practice on for tomorrow."
"Grrr," Emerging out of the pack was an alpha tough-looking wolf with white fur and a scar on his right eye. He then began to snarl out in a rhythm that confused the others minus Chopper.
"You jerks are being so loud that you scaring our prey~!" Chopper translated copying the dog's emotion. "Why don't you dumb-ass humans go to hell!?"
"WHOSE THE DUMBASS?!" Natsu, Gajeel, Luffy, and Sanji yelled at Chopper.
"He was translating the wolf idiots!" Lucy comically snapped while dope slapping them.
"Growff! Rowwrr Ruff Rarhhh!" The wolf growled.
"You rotten two-leggers better not be trying to muscle in our domain and takes what doesn't belong to you!" Chopper continued to translate.
"No, we're not like that!" Wendy reassured. "We were brought here against our will!"
"This is our forest!" Chopper translate through the wolf. "You think you can just come in and start building fires?!"
"Who said this is your for-!" Natsu argued only to be backhanded with incredible force by Erza
"Every part of this forest belongs to us!" Chopper continued to translate through the wolf. "The land, the trees and ai-"
BONK~!
Natsu, Chopper, Megumi, and Gajeel flinched as Nami stood over the alpha wolf, who was holding the lump on his head in pain.
"NOTHING KEEPING ME FROM THAT TREASURE!" Nami roared angrily.
"...The wolf wasn't even talking about gold," Cynthia mumbled sweatdropped.
"Grrr!" Hearing their leader in trouble the other wolves emerged from the shadows surrounding them.
"Great, things went from bad to worse again!" Usopp shrieked.
"They're going to eat us Nya?! I don't taste that good~!" Hummy freaked out.
"Me neither~!" Happy added.
"D-Do something, you guys!" Nami announced.
"You're the one who knocked him out!" Natsu and Gajeel exclaimed with shark teeth.
"Growlll~!" The Alpha wolf howled causing the other wolves to obediently step back, from their leader.
"Stand down boys~!" Chopper translated. "We may got the massive numbers but they got the raw power, it ain't worth it!"
"R-Raw power," Hime sweatdropped.
The wolf gave Nami a smirking grin. "Girl, you pack one mean punch there. Gotta say you're my kind of angry~!"
"So, this is what a happy ending looks like?" Lilly questioned as Nami and the Alpha wolf smirked at each other.
"At least the others didn't mercilessly beat them as they did with those weird crawling guys," Megumi said.
"You want us to team up with you?!" Wiper questioned, glaring at Simon. "Do you mock our Great Calgara with your achievements of defeating the Priests?"
"That is not my intention," Simon replied calmly. "My comrades and I are Level 1 Criminals and been on the stalemate with the Priests just like you. Also, the Blue Sea-Dwellers are a tremendous threat."
Wyper scowled annoyingly. "If they know what's good for them, those intruders better hightailed out of here."
"You fought them earlier today correct?" Simon suddenly asked. Wyper acknowledged him by clicking his teeth annoyingly. "...Then you should know what they're capable of."
Wyper frowned not wanting to admit it, but couldn't help it. He recalled witnessing some of their abilities during his scuffle with them on their ship. He was able to overpower them with ease due to his mantra and combat skills however he would be lying if didn't acknowledge the lack of air that slowed them down.
"If we join forces, we'll have the advantage against our enemies," Simon continued. "Two of my teammates can aid with support, and the element of surprise and the others are capable of handling the Blue Sea Dwellers and Priests. We'll develop a route so you can defeat Eneru and reclaim the shrine."
"..." At first, Wyper stood up scowling angrily. Simon can tell that the Shandian leader was suspicious of him and his allies that have been aiding his soldiers in the shadows. However, Wyper knew that the Blue Seaswellers weren't pushovers during his fight against them. If it weren't for the lack of air, then he'd had a harder time against them.
After thinking for a while of Simon's offer, Wyper had come up with a decision. "Very well, I accept the terms. However, If your comrades try anything to object to our goal…"
Wyper glared dangerously at Simon. "...Then I will not hesitate to end their lives."
"...I understand," Simon nodded unphased by Wyper's glare. "I'll take full responsibility if my comrades interfere."
After Nami somehow got respect from the alpha wolf, straw hats, and the wolf pack began their campfire bond party. Natsu, Sanji, Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, Happy, Megumi, Hime, Hibiki, Ruby, Jaune, Nora, Last Order, and Raymond were dancing with the wolves around the campfire. The others were enjoying it in their own way.
"COME ABOARD~! COME ABOARD~!" Usopp chanted while banging on drums. "IT'S THE FESTIVAL OF THE GOLD HUNT~!"
"HOWWWL~!" Luffy, Natsu, Ruby, and Megumi howled along with the wolves.
"Everyone seems really hyped about the expedition huh?" Misaka said observing the dance while leaning on a tree.
"Yeah," Touma nodded smiling. "It's nice to at least loosen up after a whole day trying to survive."
Misaka glanced at Touma blushing a bit. She slowly sat down scooting closer to him.
"Hey is something wrong, zapper?" Touma asked noticing.
"No, nothing~!" Misaka answered quickly. "And how many times did I tell you, idiot, it's Misaka~!"
"R-Right sorry," Touma apologized. "Anyway, I was wondering how you're holding up? Being outside of Academy City, into a new world full of pirates with powers. It feels like it's some kind of dream, something out of a manga."
"Yeah, it does doesn't it," Misaka nodded while looking up. " Awatsuki obtaining devil fruit power, fighting a clone Accelerator, and the power of this God Eneru...It's so insane and unbelievable if it were Academy City standards."
"I guess when you're outside of the City, you see things differently," Touma added.
"So I'm guessing that when you're outside of Academy City, you're fighting magicians?" Misaka questioned.
"It's not like I wanted magicians to come after me and Index!" Touma argued.
"Yeah yeah, just because of your dumb luck," Misaka joked laughing a little. "Since we're on the same crew, you better not go off handling everything on your own from now on."
"That goes the same to you too," Touma said with a deadpan look.
"I-I can handle myself, idiot," Misaka pouted blushing.
"She Looves him~!" Yang and Happy chanted from behind the tree, causing the two to blush.
Do you wonder why Kuroko isn't drop kicking Touma in the head? That's because she was drunk and busy having a heated argument with Karine.
"Sissy is way cuter than your barbaric Raymond~!" Kuroko retorted.
"No way~!" Karine argued. "Raymond's more powerful and could beat your sissy in no time~!"
Kuroko mocked. "You must be blind as a bat sissy can take him down no problem."
Karine slammed her forehead at her angrily. "You wanna say that again pigtail freak?!"
"I'll say it as many times as I want, you childish barbarian!" Kuroko insulted back.
"Honestly, Karine could act such a pain sometimes," George scolded sitting with Wannai, Awatsuki, Gray, and Ren.
"Yeah, Kuroko can be a handful at times," Wannai nervously laughed.
"I think the feud with Natsu and Gray are spreading with the others," Ren suggested.
"Hey, we don't fight each other all the time~!" Gray replied.
"GRAY~!" Juvia appeared out of nowhere hugging Gray. Her cheeks were red looking drunk "Please be mine~!"
"J-Juvia?!" Gray exclaimed comically startled and blushing too.
"Wow~! This is delicious~!" Nami remarked after tasting a purple drink.
"Who would've thought that wolves can make good alcohol~!" Yang smirked a bit drunk, glaring at Zoro and two wolves. "You boys ready four round 2?"
"Bring it on~!" Zoro smirked while the wolves barked.
While holding a drink, Shervan was watching everyone enjoying themselves around the bond fire while sitting alone on the log. He was busy thinking about what Dimanu said. 'There are seven just like me but...why is Cynthia a part of this if she just came into this world?'
"Shervan~!" Shervan was startled to find Cynthia close to him. To his shocked, she was slowly ditzy and hiccuping a lot. "You okay buddy~?!"
"Y-Yeah I'm fine~!" He answered a bit flustered. "I-I thought you were hanging out with Wendy."
"Wendy? Oh, she's out for the moment~!" She gestured to her Sky Maidant friend lying on her back with swirls for eyes, in the distance. With Charla by her side who was also drunk.
"T-The room is spinning," Wendy mumbled.
"I told you, that you shouldn't be having alcohol~!" Charla scolded but hiccupped a bit.
"So why aren't you drinking?" Cynthia asked, closing the distance between each other.
"Well um...~!" Shervan stuttered turning away, trying to hide his reddening face by how close she was. "...I'm not that good with um…"
"Come on~! Drink~!" Cynthia exclaimed shoving the drink down Shervan's mouths. "You need to cut loose sometime~!"
The moment he swallowed the alcohol, the boy then found himself puking behind a tree. Cynthia slowly turned towards him, giggling a bit. "Wow~! You aren't an alcohol person aren't you?!"
"Y-Yeah…" Shervan groaned from behind the tree. "It...always happens when I...drink alcohol…Urp!"
"Everyone really thrilled for tomorrow aren't they," Yuko said, admiring everyone having a good time.
"Despite being in the middle of enemy turf," Weiss said frowning.
"I agree it may be uneasy," Erza added calmly sipping her drink. "However, it's better to be on high spirit to show our enemies that we aren't scared."
"Um, by any chance are…" Kanade looked down to find, Jackal being used as a footstool for Erza.
"What?" Erza questioned.
"N-Nothing~!" Kanade answered.
"What do you mean nothing?!" Jackal exclaimed with shark teeth. "This bitch is clearly dru-!"
Jackal cried comically when the scarlet woman put more pressure down on her back.
"I'm surprised you all are fonding well with the cloud wolves," Gan Fall replied getting Erza, Robin, Weiss, Yuko, and Kanade's attention. "I know of no one else would hold a festival around Eneru's land."
"It's good to see that you're alive," Robin acknowledged.
"Seriously, don't say that so casually," Weiss mumbled.
"I'm sorry for being a burden to you all," Gan Fall replied.
"Nonsense," Erza said. "You saved our friends and kept the Going Merry from being burnt down."
"I was only doing my duty," Gan Fall said.
"There's plenty of stew left if you like some," Yuko offered.
"Thank you, but no, not right now," Gan Fall kindly declined as he sat down between Yuko and Robin.
"HEY~!" Luffy called out. "THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP SKY KNIGHT!"
"YEAH THANKS~!" Ruby added.
"COME ON AND DANCE WITH US~!" Nora chimed in.
"YEAH DANCE WITH US SKY KNIGHT~!" Chopper announced.
"Chopper's drunk as well," Yuko nervously said.
Luffy laughed but was caught off when a drunkard sky wolf landed on top of him followed by Sanji. "By the way, is Miss Connis alright?"
"Very much so," He replied. "She along with her father are sheltered in my house."
"Great, I was worried that she'd never see me again," Sanji sighed in relief.
"How about you and have a one-on-one fight later~!" Natsu said while on top of Sanji.
"You muscle brain~!" Weiss scolded. "Gan Fall is still recovering from his injuries!"
Another cloud wolf jumped on Natsu's back, followed by Usopp. "Well, I' happy that both of them are safe and sound. Let's celebrate by tossing Chopper~!"
"Why me?!" Chopper exclaimed. Before he knew it, Sanji and Usopp were tossing the reindeer in the air and caught him on the way down.
"You idiots, don't go tossing a cute animal like that~!" Weiss exclaimed angrily while she stomps at the group.
Gan Fall witnessed the straw hat pirates having a good time with wolves which made him smile. He never in his life have experience celebration around the Upper Yard.
A thought then came up to the Sky Knight's head. "Pardon my eavesdropping, but I heard your earlier discussion about this Island being known as long ago, Jaya."
"Yes, that's correct," Robin said.
"The ground of the Upper Yard reminds you of the Blue Sea World doesn't it," Gan Fall commented.
"It does," Erza admitted. "When Nami, explained how it got up here, it sounds reasonable."
"Impossible, but reasonable," Weiss commented carrying the drunk Chopper who passed out.
"You're lucky," Gan Fall scooped up a handful of dirt. "This stuff you're standing on doesn't exist in the Sky. Island clouds are able to support plant life, but it can't generate on its own. Soil and greenery are both foreign to our way of life here. Our people dub the name Vearth. Those living here hold it sacred."
"Man that was tasty," Kaito said leaning back on the tree stump.
"Yeah, Gonta is so filled up," Gonta chuckled patting his stomach. "Thank you, Maki."
"..." The girl herself ignored him and was busy chewing the meat. She was too deep into the thought of the encounter.
"Still though, things have gone more complicated ever since he showed up," Kaito commented. "Not only we have to deal with a war tomorrow between the Shandian/ Luminous Tail Alliance, the Blue sea dwellers, and the Eneru's force, but a NOVAH general...Things are going to escalate with that thing around."
"Right, Gonta can't forget what one of them did to that family," Gonta said clenching his fist in anger. "Gonta...wasn't strong enough to save their son, and…"
"Whatever he's planning shouldn't interfere with our main object of catching the Octogal Slayers," Maki stated. "Once we have their source of magic...then we can use it to stop NOVAH once and for all."
