"What is wrong with those guys?" Luffy said as they White berets pick themselves up and crawling away painfully
"Forget them that old lady ratted us out, she lied to us she said it was ok for us to pass through but when we did they accused us of illegal entry thats flat out fraud!" Nami said
"Exactly and besides even if we were told we couldn't pass we would've just forced our way through i mean how is that old lady going to stop us?" Ussop said
"SHUT UP!" Nami yelled
"In any case you are all in Big trouble now, since you've become 2nd degree Criminals I'm sorry but we can't...help you anymore." Pagaya said out in the distance away from the group.
"What? we can't hear you!?" Cray said
"I said I'm sorry but we can't help you!" Pagaya yelled
"Why are you telling us that all the way over there?" Nami said
"Whats the fuss, were always getting into trouble, more importantly why did you comeback Nami?" Luffy said
What?" Nami said
"We were finally about to go to that place were not suppose to for a big adventure, I mean to look for you." Luffy said
"Your really easy to figure out." Nami said hitting his head causing him to walk back Nami then continuously do it.
"What big adventure! didn't you hear a single word I just said about how scary those people are over there! true we don't know is this guys god or not but his powers are the real thing, I won't go back to that island!" Nami yelled knocking Luffy to the ground.
"Well that's okay you can just wait here while we go." Luffy said
"No way! they'll come after me we have to leave here." Nami said
"LEAVE!? Are you nuts! which is more important life or adventure!?" Luffy said
"Life, then Money!" Nami said knocking Luffy to the ground again.
"Say is there any way for us to get back safely?" Ussop said
"there is, but at this point I can no longer say its safe...if you go to Cloud End the farthest edge of the clouds, its in the far east, you'll have to go down tot he White Sea first." Conis said
"Good then all we have to do is just that." Ussop said
"But I don't want to go back yet. "Luffy said
"What!?, you wanna stay here and get a death sentence?" Ussop said
and besides we'll be getting Conis and her dad in trouble." Nami said
"no..its fine." Conis said
"Well even if we leave we may not be able to get away from them, in that case no matter where we are it'll be the same since they know where we are and where were at. So we'd better leave here right away." Nami said
"ugh Okay." Luffy said
"Good, now lets sail! come on everyone!" Nami said
Everyone then stared to walk back towards the ship until suddenly Luffy though of something back at the house. Luffy ran back to Pagaya.
"hey Old Guy." Luffy said
"What is it?" Pagaya said
"Can I take all the leftover food we had earlier back at the house with me?" Luffy said
"Yes of Course." Pagaya said
"Alright, Sanji prepare some Lunch Boxes." Luffy said
He's on the ball." Sanji said walking back.
"In that case, Pagaya can I ask for a favor as well..your an engineer right would you give me some fixtures for the ship repair?" Ussop said
Yes of course. just come back to our house again" Pagaya said
Ussop, Sanji, and Luffy were then walking back.
"Where are you guys going?" Nami said
"I'm going to get some food from them you guys go on ahead and prepare the ship for our adventure." Luffy said
a vein then showed on Namis head.
"He's defiantly planning to go to that island." Nami said
"Well thats no big surprise." Cray said walking away
"Now Where are you Going!?" Nami said
Cray took out his notebook and showed her a bunch of lines on a page
"Whats that?" Nami said
"I was working on a drawing of the Landscape up at the house but I had to Stop, but since now we have a little bit of time before we leave, I'm going back to the house to finish it up." Cray said
"Couldn't you just finish it here on the ship!" Nami said
'No, the drawing will come out wrong, There are few details I need to get, I'll be back." Cray said catching up with the other three.
this made Nami even more annoyed.
"Those guys on that Island are really scary I'm telling you guys!" Nami yelled
"Who cares, I don't care either way, don't take it out on us." Zoro said getting on the ship
"Chopper your on my side...Aren't you!?" Nami said
"Leave him alone Nami, and besides, even if we get together and protest, he won't listen." Zoro said
"Fine then I'll stay here." Nami said
"Go right ahead." Zoro said
"Go right ahead!? how can you say that so nonchalantly. I'll be killed by those creeps!" Nami said
"ah, then so be it." Zoro said sitting down by the mast to sleep.
"You Jerk!...How about you Robin, lets you and I get Luffy." Nami said
"Thats impossible." Robin said
They then saw Conis running back to them.
"Excuse me I would like to Discuss something with you all." Conis said
...
"So theirs a a special cloud current that that can take us down to the White Sea?" Nami said
"Yes by getting on it you will be able to cross the vast ocean into the white sea? and get to the cloud end without getting lost, as long as you get on that current, no one will be able to chase you. I can guide you to the entrance by using the Waver" Conis said
" yes were saved." Nami said
"That doesn't mean that Luffy will take it." Chopper said
"Then all we have to do is to keep Luffy from not knowing, We'll take care of that." Nami said
"Then please weigh anchor and wait for me." Conis said
"Okay I really appreciate it Conis." Nami said
"No problem." Conis said smiling
Robin took a closer look and noticed that Conis was nervously sweating.
"Bye Conis see you in a bit." Nami said
"Be right back!" Conis said walking away.
"finally a light at the end of the Tunnel for a while there I started to get worried." Nami said
"Actually I'm a bit skeptical." Robin said
"What? Why?" Nami said
"If what she says is true and this current really exists, wouldn't it stand to reason if we heard more stories of people returning safely from Sky Island." Robin said
"But you have to remember, very few people manage to find there way up here in the first place so of course were not going to find any stories about people coming back." Nami said
"and even if they did find the current there no gaurentee there ship could withstand the high speeds it requires. "Chopper said
"Good point, a lot of captains don't know when to call it quits..lets hurry and weigh anchor, Chopper haul it up." Nami said
"Okay." Chopper said
Chopper grabbed the ropes and pulled up the Anchor.
"The Anchors out Nami." Chopper said
"Perfect, now all we have to do is wait for Conis to bring back the others and then we can finally leave." Nami said
(Pagayas House)
"this is still so good." Luffy said stuffing his face.
"Save some for the trip, and for the rest of us." Sanji said preparing a box
"theirs plenty here, hey Cray do you want to try some left overs?" Luffy said
"Not right now I'm busy, Geez just few minutes of concentration, is that so much to ask?" Cray said in his head Pointing out with his pencil getting the details.
"Conis a refill please?" Luffy said
"get it your self Luffy...Wait where is she?" Sanji said
"I think she went to bid farewell to the others, she should be back soon." Pagaya said coming in with some drinks.
Pagaya then walked towards Cray to give him his Drink.
"Here you go." Pagaya said putting the drink down on the balcony table.
"Thank you." Cray said
"I'm sorry, but may i ask what you are doing?" Pagaya said
"I'm just doing a little bit of drawing of the Area, its really nice to look at." Cray said
"So your an artist?" Pagaya said
"Yes and I don't mean to brag, but when it comes the crew I'm the best one." Cray said
" I'm sorry, but Thats weird, Because your friend Ussop told me that he was the professional and you were just an Amatuer." Pagaya said
Cray then looked at Ussop ready to yell
"YOUR LYING AND YOU KNOW IT!" Cray yelled at Ussop
"AM NOT!" Ussop yelled
"ARE SO!" Cray yelled
During that time Conis came back from the ship, she then saw Sanjis arranged lunch boxes.
"Wow those look nice, I've never seen food arranged like that before" Conis said
"Here this oen is for you." Sanji said with a smile.
"really you made one just for me?" Conis said
"Ive prepared all the food today according to a theme I've chosen, I call it "Love is a cruel mistress, feast for a fallen angel."" Sanji said
"I don't get what the fuss is, its just lunch." Luffy said
"how dare you trash my work, a great meal starts with a great presentation." Sanji said
"Why bother it all comes out the same." Luffy said
Cray was still on the balcony as he was getting more of the details he then noticed something weird.
"Hey guys! Somethings going on with the ship!" Cray yelled
"What!?"
The three of them ran to the balcony Sanji took out some Binoculars and to see whats going on.
"I see Nami...And shes wearing a shirt now." Sanji said disappointed
" I think we have more pressing concerns right now you ass!" Cray yelled
The Going Merry was then being carried off.
"The ship is Leaving!" Luffy said
"Oh no. it must be." Pagaya said
As The Going Merry was leaving the thing that was dragging it away emerged from the white sea and it happen to be a large Lobster with the Word "God" on it.
"Its the White white sea Express Lobster!" Pagaya said
"WHAT!?" The four said
"Where are they going?" Luffy said
"The Express Lobster is the messenger of Eneru, they must be taking your friends as a sacrificial offering, if thats the case they are being taken to Upper Yard at the sacrificial Altar
"You mean Nami, Robin and the rest are going to be sacrificed, to some wannabe God!, That Bastard! he better not lay a hand on my Nami!" sanji said
"But listen carefully, in Heavens judgement there are two types of criminal punishments and i only told you about the first, the second punishment is the challenge your friends are currently hostages in Enerus hands..I'm afraid i must tell you the criminals are to recieve the judgement are the four of you." Pagaya said
"What ado you mean?" Cray said
"If only we had a map." Pagaya said
"Wait I think I might have one from that old ship we found." Ussop said going through his back pack.
Ussop then pulled out the old map of Skypeia and layed it on the table.
"This map looks quite old but it seems to have the same layout of the island...this where we are now, the sacrificial altar where your friends are headed is over here in the North east of Upper Yard, and I'm afraid there only one way to get there, you have to take the milky road that leaves this island and your only means of transportation is by Waver, the road will take you to a great forest, Where the Priests are waiting for your arrival." Pagaya said
"Okay then lets see theirs gotta be a way to get there unnoticed." Ussop said
"Yeah, riding through the Front Gate doesn't sound like a wise choice." Cray said
"Pagaya is there to get there by going to the side?" Ussop said
"there right if we use it they'll see us coming and set up a trap." Luffy said
"That may be but even if you do find your way ashore, theirs no way to reach the altar on foot, you see the road...your old map differs from the current configuration of the Milky Road, it now Criss crosses the entire island." Pagaya said
"You mean the canals?" Sanji said
Yes there are hundreds of them and in all shapes and sizes and they could lead you anywhere. thats why the main course of action is exactly what I said you must take the main Milky road to the island and from there continue until you reach the Altar" Pagaya said
"Is that so, and even if we do find another way the canals will just block our way." Sanji said
"Yes, and did I mention that there are also man eating fish that follow the Canals to?" Pagaya said
"Man eating fish!?" Ussop said
"So are only choice to get our friends and ship back is to march through Gods front door huh? Fantastic." Cray said
"is this part of the challenge you mentioned, Heavens Judgement?" Ussop said
"Yes. in Upper yard there are Five powerful Priests of unimaginable Strength who awaits you." Pagaya said
"Sound like a piece of cake, so all we have to do to get our friends back is to beat up these priests." Luffy said
"You make it sound easy Luffy." Ussop said
"ahahahaha finally a little action." Luffy said smiling.
