Chapter 156: Heaven's Gate and Angel Beach
The ship was trying to sail to a waterfall of clouds that Chopper and Robin saw in the distance. After all, it was best in this situation to head towards what seems strange, that and the fact that they didn't want Luffy or Naruto from calling the sky knight.
As they were sailing they came across some more strange clouds.
"These clouds don't seem to be moving." Said Kakashi.
"All right!" yelled Luffy, "I'll just punch them away and we'll sail through them."
He punched the cloud but his fist just bounced back.
"Oh wow!" yelled Luffy, he jumped on the to the cloud and it was bouncy.
Chopper, Usopp, Naruto and Hinata followed him and began to jump on it.
"Oh wow! This is so much fun!" said Naruto.
"Oh this is so comfy." Said Luffy.
"Hey!" yelled Nami, "Find if there's a way we can get around it!"
They began to look around.
"Hey!" yelled Usopp, "There's a gate at the waterfall."
The group on the clouds went back to the sip where they navigated though a "water" path show the clouds. They found the gate that Usopp found.
"Heaven's Gate?" asked Anko.
"That must be the place." Said Kakashi.
"As long as there's no comet, I'm happy." Said Kyubi.
"What?" thought Naruto.
"Never mind." Said Kyubi.
They got to the gate, when they got there they heard several clicks and saw a woman taking pictures of them, she was short and pretty ugly.
"So that's what an angel looks like." Said Ino.
"Are you tourists or have you come to make war?" asked the elderly Angel, "It doesn't really matter. IF you want to go through the upper stream, all you have to do is pay 1 Billion Extol per person and you can go through."
"Great, we still don't know how much it is." Said Sakura.
"What do we do if we have no money?" asked Nami.
"Then you may pass." Said the elderly angel.
"Really?" yelled everyone the ship surprised.
Gaara stared at her, he was suspicious.
"I don't trust her either." Said Isaribi.
Gaara nodded, "Something's going on here."
The two Kages didn't trust her either, Anko smirked knowing what ever is going to happen will be fun, Kakashi just sighed, knowing he wouldn't want to get in the way of Anko's fun, he tried to stop it many times before, but it never ended well.
"We don't have any money!" yelled Luffy, "So we would like to go."
"Okay, I am not a gate keeper or a Guardian so I won't stop you if that is your choice." Said the elderly angel.
That is when something grabbed the ship, it was a giant lobster.
"It's the famous Lobster Express of the white sea." Said the elderly angel.
The lobster quickly towed the ship up the strange water fell in the clouds. As they were forced up they saw the sign "Godland Skypiea", little did they also know was that the elderly angel was sending a message that there were 17 intruders in the area.
With the crew they were surprised when they saw the island, there parts of the island in the air and it was also made of the fluffy clouds from below, when they got close enough, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Kiba, Akamaru and Hinata all got onto the shore and began to explore the beach.
"What about the anchor?" asked Zoro.
Isaribi jumped down, "I think the island's foundation will be a good idea." She said.
Zoro nodded and set the anchor.
Sasuke was looking at the island, "Hey, there's something I need to talk to you about." Said Anko.
"Fine." Said Sasuke.
Nami who went into the girls room to change was being attacked by the South Bird… which they forgot to free.
"You forgot to free it?" asked Kakashi.
"Yeah…" sighed Nami.
"There's plants up here so it will be fine." Said Zoro.
Nami shrugged, and jumped into the water, which most of the crew had done by this point.
"So are you going ashore too?" Robin asked Zoro.
"Yeah." Said Zoro.
Robin smiled, "So adventure is going to new islands and exploring them." Said Robin, "I never really thought if it that way."
Zoro gave her a weird look then shrugged it off.
"You had a difficult life after we parted ways, didn't you?" asked Kakashi.
"Yes." Answered Robin.
"I knew that was probably the case." Said Kakashi.
The crew explored the beach, enjoy the "water", the "sand" and other sites as well.
"This beach makes me uncomfortable." Said Gaara.
"Why because a beach is supposed to have sand." Joked Isaribi.
Nearby Ino and Sakura watched the two.
"You think there's something going on with the two?" asked Ino.
"I don't know." Said Sakura, "It's not like with Naruto and Hinata."
They looked at Hinata and Naruto talking, with Hinata laughing while blushing a little.
"When are those two going to get together?" asked Sakura.
"I have no idea." Muttered Ino.
With Anko and Sasuke, Anko sighed.
"All right! Next time you get into a fight! Don't focus on the loss." Said Anko.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Sasuke.
"When you were beaten by the guy, the Cursed Seal realized what you were feeling and tried to give you power! Try to stop thinking about your losses." Said Anko.
Sasuke snorted… this made Anko angry. She grabbed him and pinned him to a nearby tree.
"You are the not the first to get one of those and you probably won't be the last." Said Anko, "Do you know what kind of things that thing does to you!"
"How would you know?" asked Sasuke.
"Because! I was the first!" yelled Anko.
Sasuke froze when she said.
Anko adjusted her coat and revealed her neck, on her neck was the same mark as the one Sasuke had.
"I know all about it, I was the first to survive it and the reason for the 10 percent chance of surviving it." Explained Anko, "If you focus on your loss then it will consume you and that's just what that son of a bitch wants."
Sasuke gritted his teeth when she said that.
"Come on, your crew is enjoying the beach." Said Anko.
"Yeah." Sighed Sasuke.
The two joined the rest of the crew.
Luffy had found a weird giant fruit, but it was too hard for him to eat.
That was when they heard some music, the music of a harp, at the same time Zoro saw a weird fox.
On a "rock" they saw a girl playing the harp, she was blonde and her hair that weird antenna with balls on them.
"Oh she's so pretty." Said Sanji.
"This totally makes up for the angel earlier." Said Kyubi.
"Heso." Said the girl.
"What?" asked Luffy confused.
"Did you come from the blue sea?" she asked, " Come here Suu!"
The little weird fox that Zoro saw ran towards the angel.
"Yeah, we flew up here, do you live here?" asked Naruto.
"We do." Said the angel.
She saw Luffy with the weird fruits.
"Oh you like conash?" she asked, "The top shell is hard a rocks so there's no use biting into it."
She waved over for Luffy to give her one, he did and she cut a hole in the bottom and stuck in a straw. Luffy took a sip from the straw and loved it.
"Is it good?" asked Kiba.
"It's really good!" yelled Luffy.
Sanji began to hit on the girl, but Nami pulled the patented "Brock Ear Pull" and started asking the girl named Conis questions.
"Of course I'd love to." Said Conis.
Kakashi stared at Conis, Anko saw the look in his eyes.
"If you tell Jiraiya about the Angels I will kill you." Said Anko.
"Why on earth would I tell Jiraiya?" asked Kakashi.
That was when they saw something coming closer.
"What is that?" asked Sakura.
"It looks like a person." Said Sasuke.
"Oh it's my father." Said Conis.
It was indeed an middle aged man who was balding (expect for strange antenna) and a weird fluffy black beard, he was riding on a weird thing… a weird thing that crashed into the beach and into a tree.
"Is everyone all right?" asked Conis' father.
"You're the one that crashed!" yelled Zoro.
"Hey didn't you find something like that?" asked Nami.
"Yeah, on the ship." Said Luffy.
"It was a waver! That thing Noland saw and mentioned in the book." Said Nami.
Conis' father introduced himself as Pagaya and decided to inventive the crew for dinner.
"Excuse me." Said Nami, "I have a few questions about the waver. How does it move without wind?"
"Oh you must not know about Dials?" asked Conis.
And with that sentence the Straw Hats would learn more about life in the clouds.
Next Time: The crew learns more about Sky Island... that it had special shells that can be used in many ways! Also that there's a forbidden island where "god lives"... However Nami who barrows the waver goes missing, Luffy has an excuse to go to that island... err... now the crew must find Nami before it's too late! What will happen? Find out next time!
