Chapter 154: Head to the Knock Up Stream!

The crew was worried about Luffy and Naruto. They were late. And considering the fact that Naruto was extremely fast in his demon form, it didn't make any sense that they would be late.

"Where are they! They're 46 minutes late." Said Nami.

"I think we should be concerned." Said Hinata.

"I agree, I've ridden on Naruto's full demon form before. And he's very fast." Said Sakura.

"Do you think they've been beaten up?" asked Chopper.

"If they were, I will beat them up more!" yelled Nami.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Said Kakashi.

"If they're not back in 14 minutes me and Kakashi will look for them." Said Anko, "Then if they're okay, we'll beat them up."

That was when they saw Luffy and Naruto (in human form) running towards them.

"Hey guys!" yelled Luffy.

"Look what we got!" yelled Naruto.

They noticed in Luffy's hand was a Hercules Beetle!

"Is that what they were doing!" yelled Nami and Usopp.

Yes, indeed they were late because they were looking for a beetle!

That was when Luffy and Naruto noticed the fixed ship, which had wings and had additions that made it look like a chicken.

"Wow! It looks like it can fly!" yelled Luffy.

"I'm still anxious about this." Said Nami.

"Yeah, it should be a pigeon, not a chicken." Said Zoro.

"I don't think that's what she meant." Said Sasuke with a sweat drop.

Luffy returned the gold to Cricket as the crew (and the two Kages) boarded the ship.

Right before they left, Cricket gave a few parting words to Luffy.

"Remember this, no matter what anyone says, they never proved that El Dorado or Skypiea didn't exist." Said Cricket.

"Right." Said Luffy.

"If they laugh at you, let them laugh." Said Cricket, "It's what makes a good adventure!"

Luffy smiled and so they set sail.

And so they set sail to their destination.

As they do Luffy, Naruto, Chopper, Usopp, Kiba and Akamaru messed with the South Bird while Robin talked with the two Kages.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to come with us?" asked Robin, "This is dangerous and there is a shortage on Kage Candidates."

"I have a feeling that everything will turn out all right! I mean what are the chances of this ship crashing to the ground?" asked Anko.

"You know… now that you're saying it, I have a bad feeling about it." Said Kakashi with a sweat drop.

After three hours of sailing the strange cloud was seen early.

"It's early?" asked Naruto.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Said Kyubi.

Shoujou and his crew used their sonar to find the currents and headed to the current they needed. That's when things got really rocky. The ocean currents were extremely rough.

"The Log Pose is point right up." Said Nami.

"All right!" cheered Naruto.

"We're going to the whirlpool! Try to get into the center of it!" yelled Shoujou.

"Whirlpool?" asked Luffy.

That was when everyone notice the gigantic whirlpool they were headed to.

"No one said anything about that!" yelled Nami in shock.

"This isn't good." Said Sakura.

Chopper was excited about it.

"Great I should have known that one day we'd sail into a whirlpool." Sighed Sasuke.

"I'm sure everything will turn out." Said Kakashi trying to optimistic about it.

"Don't worry Nami! I'll protect you and Robin!" yelled Sanji.

"Worry about yourself for once!" yelled Ino.

"At least Shukaku hasn't reacted yet." Said Gaara.

"I've never seen a maelstrom like this before." Said Robin.

"Don't worry about the whirlpool… really" said Isaribi.

"Get us out of here!" yelled Usopp panicking.

"Just shut up and calm things will be fine!" shouted Kiba.

"No way! We haven't really seen what this thing can do!" said Anko.

"Besides, Luffy has already decided that this is going to happen." Said Zoro.

Hinata really didn't know how to react to the big whirlpool.

"All right!" yelled Naruto.

"Sky Island Here we come!" yelled Luffy.

As they were being sucked in a sea king was sucked in as well… scaring the less than thrilled members.

"All right! You're on your own now!" yelled the Monkey Brothers.

"Thank you!" yelled Luffy.

Usopp once again to stop this but Luffy just had the brightest smile possible. There was no turning back now.

They were about to go down the whirlpool when suddenly…. It vanished! Wait… what?

"Where did the whirlpool go?" asked Luffy confused.

"You knew this was going to happen, didn't you?" asked Gaara.

Isaribi nodded, "It starts out with a whirlpool… then it becomes calm." Explained Isaribi.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" asked Usopp and Nami.

"You were panicking, you wouldn't have listened to me." Said Isaribi.

Usopp sweat dropped.

"However it's not over yet." Said Isaribi, "We have to…"

That was when Naruto and Gaara had a bad feeling, they were interrupted by someone shouting "Hey!"

They turned to see a large raft and on it was Black Beard… AKA the man from Mock Town.

"It him again." Said Naruto.

"Straw Hat Luffy! We're here to take you're 100 Million Berry Bounty Head!" yelled Black Beard.

"What?" asked Luffy. "What do you mean I have a 100 million head?"

"Well you don't know?" asked Black Beard, he held up the newer wanted posters, "You, Shadow Fox Naruto, Pirate Hunter Zoro and Gentle Princess Hinata are all wanted!"

Usopp looked through binoculars, "It's true, there's new posters." Said Usopp.

"Wow! A hundred million." Said Luffy.

"Lucky." Said Naruto.

"Only 60 million." Said Zoro.

"What would a girl like you get a 55 Million Berry Bounty?" asked Anko.

"Well my cousin is a Marine and I earned the trust of many others so I guess they see me as a threat." Said Hinata.

"Wait!" yelled Isaribi, "I wasn't done explaining everything."

The water began to rise!

"Everyone grab onto something!" yelled Kakashi.

The water below them swelled up even more, then boom! Black Beard's raft was sent to the water while the Going Merry was propelled to the sky!

The crew was in disbelief, the ship was sailing on a pillar of water.

"This should be impossible." Said Ino.

"This is so much fun!" said Luffy.

"Wait, I just realized something." Said Sanji.

"What?" asked Kiba.

They realized that if they tilted back, then they would fall, just as pieces of ship and that sea king fell around them. However Nami realized something. By unfurling the ships sails they could use the wind coming up from the heat of warm air and sail on the pillar of water like a current.

They did unfurl sails, how the ship began to tilt back.

"We're going to fall!" yelled Chopper.

Just as they was about to fall, the sails caught the wind and it was flying! Needless to say everyone was dropsied.

"With this wind and current, we can make it all the way to the sky." Said Nami.

"That's amazing!" said Luffy.

"Damn! I really didn't think this would work." Said Kyubi, "Then again Nami's hot so I shouldn't be surprised."

Naruto rolled his eyes at that.

"All right!" yelled Luffy, "Head Start for the Emperor Cloud!"

And so they were headed to Sky Island for an adventure that would be exciting! After all who knew what would be up there!

Next Time: The crew find them selves in a sea of nothing but clouds. There they see strange animals, attacked by a strange man and saved by a knight. What will happen? Find out next time!
