Steve's POV

"You think you'll be eliminating me" Eneru let out a hearty laugh then abruptly stopped "Do you have any idea who you're talking to."

A gripped my whip tighter as we stared the so-called God down.

"The old man fighting for Skypiea, The warrior fighting for his homelands, and pirates from the Blue-sea who want nothing more than to steal gold. Everything is so full of sin."

"Enough nonsense!" Gan Fall yelled "Tell us what you want here."

"I simply wish to return to where I belong. To a place fit for a God, they call it the Fairy Vearth. This dismal piece of land is not worthy of me, this whole island defies nature. "

Does he mean…

"You wouldn't."

"I am God, I can do whatever I want, and I'll be sending you all back where you belong!" he laughed.

"You want to destroy this place!" Gan Fall yelled "Do you think that highly of yourself Eneru. 'God' is nothing but a title used to refer to the ruler of Skypiea!"

"That was before I came along." Eneru gloated.

This guy's insane. He really things he's surpassed humanity.

"This world doesn't need a God!"

"If you worried about your militia former God Gan Fall, you should know after they lost to my army I put them to work. This morning they finished their 'job'. As I said earlier the only people still standing on this island are the seven of us."

I looked over at Nami and the unconscious Rose and Chopper "Please be alright."

I'm the captain; it's my job to protect them. I won't let this guy near them.

"I didn't want to do it" Eneru explained "but when I told them my plan, they got a little…let's just say upset."

Gan Fall kept muttering to himself about how he was supposed to bring them home to their families.

"Oh yes, I suppose the families will want burials, too bad there isn't much to give them."

Gan Fall thrust forward with his lance.

"Gan Fall don't!" I tried to stop the man but I knew it was useless.

This man isn't a God. He nothing more than a psychopath.

Eneru placed a finger on each side of Gan Fall's head and counted up and lightning gathered.

"30 MILLION VOLT VARI!"

Gan Fall fell to the ground. There was a huge hole burnt into his helmet.

Holy Shit.

"A Devil Fruit!" Zoro pointed out.

"It's most likely the Rumble-Rumble Fruit." Robin said.

Someone read the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

"He's a Logia like Crocodile. He's a Lightning human." I said.

"Good now there are six survivors, just like I predicated. Come I shall now travel to the Fairy Vearth, and you'll all come with me!"

"What if we choose not to go?" Robin asked.

"Why stay, then you'd fall the abyss with everyone else I this country?"

"True you do possess the power to destroy this country but doing so would also destroy that."

"Oh you mean the Golden Bell. Judging from our earlier talk I already know where it is."

Well there goes our only leverage.

"You really thought you could trick me? How deceptive. I hate deceptive women." In the blink of an eye Eneru's arm jolted out shot through Robin's forehead.

"ROBIN!"

I ran and grabbed Robin Before she hit the ground. I had made it in time but she was in bad shape and need help right away if she was going to make.

I turned around a shot Eneru a death glare "She's not yours to touch. She's mine."

"Yes I could tell."

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

I heard Nami scream for me to stop but I kept going.

I need to test this. I need to see if we only have one hope.

I ran forward and swung at the man but my whips went right through his torso. But I was able to step on his toes with my boots.

Just like I thought.

"You need to be taught a lesson about God."

The man grabbed my whips and wrapped them around his hands.

"Losing love and dying are similar aren't they?"

I felt the sting come through the whip cord and into my hands. My whole body felt like it was on fire. My heart felt like it'd explode from the pain.

"AHHHHH! GAAAHH!"

Well I guess the two are similar.

Nami's POV

Everyone's dying. Rose, Robin, Zoro, even Steve is on the ground. He's going to kill everyone.

"Why do you keep getting up Wyper? Why are you still fighting?"

That Wyper guy was barely breathing, he was covered in blood but he kept getting up.

"For my ancestors and the people who believed in me." He said as blood dripped off his arms "I…walked over the bodies of my allies to get here…if I don't kill you…their sacrifices mean nothing…"

"What a ridiculous answer."

"EL THOR!"

Steve's POV

I don't think I died.

I tried to open my eyes but they just wouldn't answer.

I hear someone.

I reached out and grabbed what I'm pretty sure was someone's ankle.

"Steve!"

Luffy

"Luffy listen I'm sorry, I couldn't protect everyone."

"Its fine I'm still here you don't have to do stuff like that alone."

"Eneru is a lightning man, understand." I squeezed his leg tighter

"I get it, I gotta go." Luffy said putting my hand down.

"One last thing" I felt myself slipping away again "We owe that Bazooka guy…his names Wyper."

Good luck…Rubber Boy.

LATER

I managed to open my eyes and saw that we were no longer in the ruins, now we were at the bottom of the beanstalk.

"How'd I get down here?"

"I moved all of you." I looked over and saw Robin was sitting not too far from me.

"Oh thanks."

"Thank you for catching me." She said out of nowhere.

"How'd you know?"

"I wasn't dead you know."

"Then I guess you heard my little exchange with Eneru." I said embarrassed

"Yes I did." She looked away from me.

It keeps getting more awkward.

"Listen I didn't mean it like you were some kind of property or something. I just meant you're in my crew so I have to protect you."

Robin didn't answer she just nodded her head.

"STEVE! ROBIN!" We looked over and saw Luffy run past and throw a little girl and a bird at us "Watch these two."

"Luffy what the hell is that thing on your arm!" I asked looking at the golden ball stuck to him.

He ignored me and headed up to the top of the beanstalk.

The little girl told us that Nami was supposed to be on the ship but she couldn't hear her 'voice' up there.

"We're here!" We looked back and saw Nami and Usopp on the Waver.

"Where's Luffy?"

"He went up there to save you." Aisa told Nami.

"We're running out of time." Usopp told us "this place is going to be destroyed."

"I'll take the waver and get Luffy, the rest of you go back to the ship." Nami told us.

"No." I told her looking up the beanstalk "Nami you can go help Luffy but the rest of us will be waiting here."

"What are you talking about we have to go!" Usopp yelled.

"We won't be going anywhere. Luffy is going to fight Eneru. Whether we wanted to or not we will have to save the place. We owe him that much." I said pointing at Wyper "Rose told him to get his home back. Since he can't do it, we'll have to do it for him. And the only one capable of stopping Eneru and freeing this place is Luffy."

"This is ridiculous we don't have any point in dying for this place." Nami remarked.

"NAMI! Are you going to disobey my order?" The girl was taken aback by my tone "We will wait here for Luffy to stop Eneru, but you will go help him since he can't catch up with that thing on his arm. Besides now that Luffy knows that bell is up there he won't leave till he rings it."

"What are you talking about? the little girl asked.

"Luffy wants to ring that bell and tell our friend that the city of gold was up here not under our sea."

Nami still hadn't left to go help Luffy yet "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!"

The girl grabbed the Waver and sped off after Luffy. Lightning struck the ruins around us but I refused to go back to the ship.

"Fall back a little it's dangerous to be this close to the beanstalk, let's back up and wait.

Get the job done Luffy, or we're all dead.

Wyper just stood there while the rest of us moved back. Aisa kept trying to get him to move back with us but he just stood there.

He ignored the girl and turned to me "You said something about a Golden Bell."

"It's probably somewhere near the top of the beanstalk."

A piece of the beanstalk fell from the sky and I grabbed Wyper and pulled him back.

"I'm so close the bell is just past there. I'm so close to fulfilling Kalgura's wish." He stared off "The world will know we're here…"

The sky parted to reveal a huge ball of thunder descending towards the ground. It touched the nearby Skypiea and exploded. When it was gone nothing was left.

"We're gonna die!" Usopp yelled "Why won't you let us leave?"

"Because Luffy will win, we just have to wait for him to ring the bell like he said he would." I told them.

"You mean Luffy wants to ring the bell?" Usopp asked.

"Yes. And once he puts his mind to something there's no changing it. Nami can try and go behind my back all she wants and tell Luffy to leave but he won't go." I said "I know it!"

A leaf fell from the top of the stalk.

"It says to cut the beanstalk" Robin said looking at the large leaf "And makes it fall west."

The sky opened again and another ball of lightning began descending.

This one is twice as big.

"Come on we'll have to hurry." I told them.

Zoro threw Chopper and Rose to Usopp then he and I went to cut the stalk. Zoro cut a piece out of the stalk only to get shocked by lightning.

It's too strong, it won't fall.

That huge snake ran up and slammed into the plant but even that wasn't enough, it only managed to tilt the stalk.

"I have to ring that bell. Your stupid friend can't do it." Wyper said lumbering past me.

"400 years ago a man from my sea found the city of gold, but no one would believe him, so to this day his descendant risks his life everyday trying to find that city. 'If I can ring the bell, he'll hear it', that's what my 'stupid' friend thinks. He's going through all this just to deliver a message."

"A message…" Wyper looked confused "What is this descendant's name."

"Montblanc Cricket."

"Then that explorer what was his name? Was it Noland?"

"Yes."

Wyper sprinted past me and pushed Usopp out of his way, he jumped up to the stalk and placed his hand against it.

"REJECT!"

The beanstalk exploded and began to tilt. I wrapped my whips around part of the stalk and pulled

"Come on, fall! Fall dammit!"

This damn thing better fall.

The stalk started tilting. I decided that it was a good time to get out of its way. I ran through the ruins past all the lightning. When I found Zoro Wyper wasn't far from him stand there looking at the stalk.

"Come on we gotta go or we'll be crushed!"

"Shandora will never crumble before you Eneru." Wyper glared "This world is too vast to be hidden away by you!"

I looked around and saw that only the clouds were being destroyed by the lightning not the ground itself

"The strength of this earth will never be destroyed!" Wyper took one last look to the top of the beanstalk. "Now go Strawhat! Ring the bell!"

The clouds at the top of the stalk suddenly dissipated and the light shined through.

"GO! Come on Luffy!"

"Light it! Relight the fire of Shandora Strawhat! Tell the world we're here!"

*BONG*

I hear it! Nice job Luffy.

"Incredible." I whispered falling back exhausted.

"Can you hear it Noland…Kalgara…" Wyper said looking to the sky with tears in his eyes "I'm sorry it took so long, I hope this reaches your descendants."
