Why hasn't anyone answer my question back in chapter 2? I'm glad I'm getting reviews, but you must at least read my story properly and listen to the requests. No offense here, but I will appreciate it more if you make your reviews longer and more descriptive. Don't just type down one or two words like "UPDATE!" or "Great chapter!" Instead, put more details into the reviews, for it will inspire the writer more.

In this chapter, there will be lots of flashback of One Piece episodes, and it might be spoilers if you haven't seen that part.

Chapter 4: The Celebration


That evening, there is quite a celebration aboard the ship. Everyone is having a great feast cooked none other by Sanji and Ryu also. Pai-Long is just standing there, because he doesn't have to eat ever since he died.

"Wow! Your cooking is superb, Sanji!" exclaims Horo between mouthfuls.

"Of course they are. I'm a cook after all!" Sanji tells him. "It's all because of my old man Zeff that I became a great cook. The secret to becoming a great cook is to find out everything yourself.

Usopp stood on top of a barrel and shouts out with pride, "Let me tell you all about my great adventures! I am the one who defeated those mermans in Kokoyashi Village! With a hammer and a rubber band, I defeated them all! And then there's this time in Arabasta, where I faced a giant mole, which I mistaken for a penguin, and defeated it using my brains!" He begins doing a victory dance on top of the barrel, and then misses a step and falls down.

"Oh yeah! I heard you people mention merman. Are they similar to mermaids?" asks Pirika.

"They're very different," Nami tells her. "Mermans look similar to humans, except they have gills and some fish features."

"I wish I can see one!"

"They're not the nicest person around. Most of them dislike humans, at least the ones that invaded my village."

"Oh… What happened?"

"Well, you see… There was this evil merman named Arlong who came and killed my foster mother Bellemere and took over the entire village. For 8 years, I worked under him in hope of trying to buy the village back from him, but he didn't keep the promise."

"That's so terrible! What happened next?"

"That's until I met Luffy. He defeated Arlong and saved the entire village."

FLASHBACK

"I will not let you take Nami!" Luffy shouts angrily at Arlong, the goblin shark merman.

"Ha! A person like you isn't fit to take Nami!" says Arlong. "Now prepare for it! Shark on Tooth!" Arlong launches himself at Luffy and starts spinning like a drill.

Luffy sees Arlong coming and quickly raises his leg high into the air, smashing through the roof just as Arlong bites into his waist.

"GUM GUM AXE!" Luffy brings his feet down and slams it on top of Arlong's head, smashing the merman into the floor. Arlong falls through the floor and all the way into the basement. The impact was so hard that the entire fortress begins shaking! Soon, the entire Arlong Park collapse into rubbles.

All the villagers of Kokoyashi are standing outside, amazed and shocked. Suddenly, Luffy rises from the rubbles and shouts out to Nami, "Nami! You are still my friend! RIGHT!"

Upon hearing this, Nami begins to weep, and she slowly replies, "Yes… Yes… I am!"

"Wow! Is he that strong?" Pirika turns to Luffy and sees him eating several dishes of meat, and his stomach is incredibly fat. "But he doesn't really look like the hero type…"

"Oh, by the way, how did you people come into this world? You said you are from another world, didn't you?"

"That was pretty strange. We were sailing the sea in our world, and then we encountered a whirlpool, and we ended up here."

Luffy heard it and says, "Wow! That's the next weirdest thing since the existence of an island in the sky!"

"Wait a minute…" says Ren. "Island in the sky?"

"Yeah! A giant ship fell from the sky once and we were all shocked! We got into the sky with the help of water shooting into the sky! There are people living in the sky and a large island!"

The shamans look at him strangely. "Is your head all right?" Anna asks him.

"I'm serious!"

"He's telling the truth," says Nami. "We did go to an island in the sky! It's called Skypiea."

"And the clouds are very strange!" adds Chopper. "The clouds there are like sand, water, and even steel!"

"Cool! I wonder how it's like to rest on top of a soft fluffy cloud!" says Yoh. "I really want to go there!"

"Not me!" says Nami. "I don't want to risk my life at the knock-up stream to get there again!"

"And I got these dial shells from the sky too!" says Usopp, showing them a rather large shell.

"It's beautiful!" exclaims Tamao.

"It's not only for looks! Watch!" Usopp presses the top of the shell and wind rushes out into her face!

"Whoa! How did you do that?"

"It's a wind shell! It can store the wind around it and use it for later! And here's another one!" Usopp presses another shell and the shell starts speaking.

"It's a wind shell! It can store the wind around it and use it for later! And here's another one!"

"Wow! It's like a recorder! It repeated what you said just now!"

"Are there anything else special in the sky?" asks Pirika.

"Oh yes! There's this beautiful lady named Conis, and she's an angel!" Sanji tells her.

"Really! An angel! So fascinating!"

"And then there's god…"

"Wow! You met god!" asks Manta in surprise.

"And Luffy kicked his butt real hard."

"Wait a minute… Luffy attacked god…?"

"He started it all first! That lame god Eneru attacked my crewmates first!" says Luffy.

FLASHBACK

Luffy grabs onto the edge of the solid cloud and shouts, "DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME, YOU BIG EAR FREAK! GUM GUM ROCKET!" He launches himself into the ear, dragging along the giant golden ball stuck to his arm.

Eneru sees Luffy flying back up. "So you want to come again, eh?"

"I won't give up until I ring the bell!" shouts back Luffy as he twists his arm.

Eneru clashes his tridents together. "I'm going to kill you for sure this time!"

"GUM GUM GOLDEN RIFLE!" shouts Luffy at the top of his voice as he untwists and launches his golden ball fist forward. The fist flies straight towards Eneru at a tremendous velocity.

"So fast!" gasps Eneru, and before he can react, the golden ball hits him dead on, pushing him across the airship Maxim. "UUUGGHHH! UWA!"

Luffy pushes his fist even harder, aiming it at the golden bell. "Diamond-head uncle, do you hear it?" he spoke to himself in his mind.

The golden ball continues to push Eneru through the air and towards the bell.

"The golden city DOES exist!"

His fist smashes Eneru against the bell HARD, so hard that the golden ball on Luffy's hand shatters.

"For all these 400 years…"

When Eneru impacts with the bell, it lets out a loud and beautiful ring…

"IT'S HIGH UP HERE IN THE SKY!"

The ringing of the bell reach the ears of all the sky people, Shandians, and Luffy's crewmates, who are all down on God's Island, and some on White-White Sea.

"It's the song… of the island…" says the chief of the Shandians. "We thought it'll never ring again… But now…"

"LUFFY! HE DID IT!" shouts Usopp with joy. "HE DID IT!"

"So this is what Norland, Cricket's ancestor, heard 400 years ago," says Sanji.

"What a beautiful sound it is…" says Robin.

The Maxim starts to malfunction, and it slowly descends from the sky and towards the White-White Sea below. Eneru, who is knocked out from the blow (which HAS to hurt), falls towards the watery cloud below too. Both Eneru and the Maxim then disappear into the sea of clouds below…

"You defeated a heavenly deity! How strong are you!" exclaims Manta.

"Strong enough to become Pirate King!" replies Luffy with a big smile.

-

Soon, everyone is in high spirits and they got up and start dancing and singing. Ryu is holding Nami's hand and dancing happily with her while Sanji dances with Jun. Zoro slams down his 20th cup of beer and laughs like a madman.

Ren just sat in one place, staring at them while drinking milk. Pirika came to him and tells him to come enjoy the fun, but when he said no, she pulls him by his hand brought him into it.

Luffy, Usopp, Horo, and Yoh are holding hand to hand while doing a happy dance.

Anna is sitting at the side, watching everyone enjoying the party with her usual cold face. Robin sits next to her and says, "Aren't you going to dance with them?"

"I'm not interested," she replies.

"You should smile more, you know? I used to be an unhappy person too; living under a sad and gloomy life. After I met these people, my life changed."

Anna turns to her.

"That boy over there is your fiancé, right?" continues Robin. "You should interact with him more, so both your relationships will develop and your married life will be full of happiness!"

"Hey Anna! Come join the fun!" Yoh calls out to her while he dances with the others.

"I'm not in the mood," replies Anna, turning her head away, but Luffy stretches his hand to her, and grabs her arm.

"Come on! You'll like it!" he says, and he pulls Anna into the fun.

Despite not in the mood of having fun, Anna was forced to follow their dancing rhythm. Even Pai-Long came and joined their celebration!

The spirits, despite not being able to interact with them (except Kororo), laugh and sing along with them.

Robin watches from aside and smiles.

-

Everyone is now asleep. The girls all slept in the girls' room while the boys in the boys' room. Pai-Long is standing out on the deck, keeping watch.

Inside the boys' room, everyone is snoring and deep in their sleeps. Ren is sleeping peacefully on the only bed. Ryu and Horo are sleeping on mats spread on the floor. Chopper is asleep on the table. Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, and Usopp are sleeping and snoring on their hammocks.

Yoh couldn't sleep, it's most definitely because of all those snoring going on. He got up and left the room. He sees Anna sitting against the mast, gazing the stars.

"Anna!" Yoh calls to her.

Anna turns around to see him. "What are you doing in the middle of the night, Yoh?"

"I should be asking you this instead."

"Well, I couldn't really sleep, so I decided to stay out here until I'm tired."

"I can't sleep too, so I also decided to come out." Yoh sits next to Anna and looks up at the sky.

The night sky above them is filled with sparkling and twinkling stars. "Back in our world, it's not easy to see a sky full of stars like this," says Anna, looking at the stars.

"And I never thought stars would be as beautiful as your eyes too!" says Yoh.

Anna's face turns red a little upon hearing this, and she sits a little bit closer to him. "I wonder if we'll ever return to our own world."

"I'm sure we will, Anna. Everything will turn out fine in the end!"

"You know what? You always say things like that and never take things seriously."

"What's the use of worrying? It's better to keep cool and quiet than to worry and stress yourself out!"

"Hmph, not everything is as simple as you think."

"You know what, Anna? You should smile more often! You look cuter that way!"

Anna blushes a little and looks at him, and then she gives him a small smile.

"Now you look prettier this way!" says Yoh with a smile. "I hope to see your smile more often."

"You know what? I like your carefree and cheerful attitude of yours," Anna tells him with a smile on her face.

Both of them smiles at each other and continues gazing the stars. Anna begins to feel sleepy, until her head finally leans against Yoh's shoulder. "Uh…? Anna… If you want to sleep…" Yoh says to her.

"Leave me alone… Just let me sleep," she mumbles.

"Oh well… Looks like I'm stuck in this position," says Yoh with a shrug.

Robin watches them with a smile from aboard the deck. "Looks like they're getting along well!"

-

Several hours later, when the sun is about to rise over the horizon…

Yoh slowly opens his eyes. He is now lying on the deck floor and Anna's face is just a few inches in front of him. He smiles and gently strokes her face. "I've never seen her with such a peaceful face!" he said in his mind.

Suddenly, a loud bang is heard and the ship shook, causing Yoh to accidentally bang his forehead against Anna's! Anna woke up immediately and shouts at him, "What was that for!"

"I didn't do that on purpose!"

Inside the cabins, Luffy falls off the hammock because of the shaking, and he still sleeps…

Ren got shook awake. "What's happened?" Then the ship shook again.

Pai-Long opens the door in panic and says, "The ship is under attack by enemies!" By this time, everyone had already woken up.

"What's happening!" asks Pirika.

"I see a ship in the direction! It shot cannonballs at us just now, and that's what caused the shaking!" says Yoh, pointing to some ships not too far from them. Those ships fired another cannonball, but it misses and drops into the water besides them, and that's what caused the shaking.

Usopp takes out a telescope and looks at the ships. "Hey! It's the Marines! There are 3 of them!"

"Marines!" gasps Luffy. "Let's get out of here! But if they catch up with us, then we'll fight!"

"Why are they coming after us?" asks Tamao.

"Because Marines are usually the good guys and we pirates are considered bad guys!" Luffy explains to her. "It's there job to attack us!"

"But have you done anything bad before? All I heard are good deeds from you!"

"Marines never listen to pirates. They do what they think is right," Sanji tells her.

Usopp looks harder through the telescope again, and he took notice of a particular person, who is smoking two cigarettes, on one of the ships. Fear immediately takes over Usopp as he slowly lowers the telescope from the front of his eyes. "It's… It's… It's…"

"Who is it?" Nami asks him.

"It's Sm.. Smo… Smoker…"

Luffy's face turns aghast. "WHAT! THAT SMOKE GUY!"


TO BE CONTINUED…

I think that Yoh and Anna's romantic part didn't pull off really where. I'm not all that creative after all, hehe…

Remember; try to make your reviews more in-depth. I like it more that way, and please no flames.
