A/N: Sorry I wasn't able to update like I promised on Monday... but it wasn't my fault, the site's having problems. Fortunately thanks to a friend, I found a way to update it.
Chapter 161: Reunited and Reorganized
Chopper told everyone what happened when they were gone. A Priest named Shura appeared, much like Satori he was able to predict Chopper's moves, he also had a lance that what whatever it touched it would burn. Gan Fall showed up and tried to protect Chopper and Ship but lost the fight. Shura left when Chopper jump in to save Gan Fall. And was saved by Giant South Birds.
"Why do I think there's another angle that we're missing." Said Kyubi.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"Just… never mind." Said Kyubi.
Inside the Galley they saw Gan Fall unconscious from the fight.
And so with the ship unable to sail, they would camp out the night.
"All right! Camping!" yelled Naruto and Luffy.
And so, they camped out, Usopp tried to get everyone to talk about their fights but everyone was doing their own thing, However there were a couple who wanted to get things organized so she punched the ground.
"Listen up!" yelled Sakura punching the ground.
This made a crater, which made everyone sweat drop.
"All right! For everyone's reports." Said Usopp.
"Hinata fought this weird ball guy named Satori. He was able to predict everyone else's movement with something called Mantra." Said Naruto.
"The only reason why I'm immune is that the Gentle Fist was created to bypass that kind defense." Said Hinata blushing a little.
"He also had a weird attack that that even hurt Luffy." Said Kiba.
"It was the same with the guy who attacked me, I couldn't hit him, and he used a weird lance that set everything on fire." Said Chopper.
"This island was the island that is the missing part of Jaya, it didn't sink." Explained Nami.
"Okay… that all makes sense… now what are we going to do?" asked Usopp.
"Find the lost city of gold!" yelled Luffy.
It was then that Usopp realized that the discussion was over as Sakura was arguing with Ino about Ino getting alone time with Sasuke.
"I guess the discussion is over." Said Usopp with a sweat drop.
"I think they're going to calm down to talk about it." Said Kakashi.
"Yeah…" sighed Usopp.
And so they prepared dinner, with Zoro placing a very hot rock in the stew, Ino and Sanji cutting he vegetables, Robin bringing in a large salt crystal she had found.
During dinner Nami managed to tell the crew what she figured out.
"Remember what Noland last words in his log book was." Said Nami who for some reason was wearing glasses.
"That the gold was in the skull's right eye." Said Robin.
"I put together the maps of Jaya and this island and figure out what old Jaya looked like." Explained Nami.
She showed everyone the man and it looked like a skull.
"Awesome!" yelled Luffy.
"It's a skull!" yelled Naruto.
"I always wondered whatever happened to that skull shaped island." Said Kyubi, "Turns out half of it was shot into the sky."
"What?" asked Naruto.
"Nothing, just talking to myself." Said Kyubi.
Nami pointed to a structure on the old Skypiea map that looked like the skull's right eye.
"With only half an island no wonder no one could decipher the words." Said Kakashi.
"All right tomorrow we will go into two teams as we can't leave the ship alone." Said Nami, "Right now, I feel it would be a better option to have Hinata join the team that says with the ship."
"Okay." Said Hinata.
"I have a question…" said Naruto, "Since when do you wear glasses?"
Everyone sweat dropped when he asked that.
"Well we should put out the flames." Said Robin, "We don't want to attract any unwanted attention."
"Oh she doesn't know." Said Luffy.
"Well she has been alone her whole life." Said Usopp.
The three of them went into begging position.
"Please Robin." Said Luffy.
"Whenever you go coming you need a camp fire." Begged Usopp.
"Come on!" yelled Naruto.
"You're all idiots!" yelled Nami.
"Hey, is this enough for fire wood?" asked Zoro with a ton of wood for a bon fire.
"Stop doing that!" yelled Nami.
"Hey Nami calm down." Said Anko, "Everyone knows that fire scares away all the animals from camps."
That was when a bunch of animals appeared… they were sky wolves… and apparently, they got along with the crew. So much that with a bon fire, they decided to have a party. A party that most of the crew joined expect for Robin, Gaara, Sasuke, Zoro and Kakashi.
"So you befriended the sky wolves." Said a voice.
They saw that Gan Fall was up and about.
"So you're up." Said Kakashi, "I'm sure you heard our conversation."
"You knew I was awake?" asked Gan Fall.
Kakashi nodded.
"We have more stew." Said Robin.
"Thank you but I can't eat right now." Said Gan Fall, "I heard you said that this island was once called Jaya, but here we call it scared ground."
"Why is that?" asked Gaara.
"It is something that cannot exist." He explained, "Here, plants can grow in island clouds, but they cannot create it."
Those that weren't partying looked at him.
"Here we call it Vearth, it represents our eternal hopes and dreams." Explained Gan Fall.
Sometime later after the party quieted down.
Gaara kept watch while everyone slept. Usopp who couldn't get to sleep, decided to go fix some parts of ship while everyone slept. Gaara heard Usopp scream and teleported to his location, he saw him unconscious and felt something from the ship. He decided to leave at the ship, feeling whatever was going there wasn't bad and drag Usopp back.
Meanwhile with the priests (which thanks to the Straw Hats is now limited to three), they were sent to meet up with God… Eneru.
Along with Shura (the fighter pilot) there was Ohm, who was a bad ass and Gedestsu… who was an idiot… a really big idiot. Such an idiot, he was on Ralph Wiggum levels.
Eneru who looked like… well… a certain rapper who will go unnamed.
Anyways… he had told the Priests what the crew was after. Gold.
Not only that but the Guerrilla (apparently known as the Shandians) were attacking.
He decided to change the rules about how they can attack. They can attack where ever on the island.
But he had one more thing to tell the Priests.
"There are three among the Blue Sea Dwellers you must be careful about." Said Eneru.
"Why do we have to be careful?" asked Ohm.
"The one who defeated Satori… that person wasn't normal. That person constantly disappeared from my Mantra during the fight… I am sure that that person was the one who defeated Satori."
"What about the other two?" asked Shura.
"Do know what Jinchuriki is?" asked Eneru.
"A what?" asked Gedestsu.
"On the blue sea there are monsters called the Biju. While they are powerful, they can be sealed inside of humans. Those humans are often exceptionally powerful." Said Eneru, "Two of these blue sea dwellers, are Jinchuriki. I think you can handle them, only worry about the one that can disappear. After all the Maxim is nearly complete. And when it done, we will travel to the world of our dreams."
The next day, something really big was going to happen. Something very big, that would change the fate of Skypiea.
Next Time: The Crew once again splits up, this time to find the ledndary city of gold. Unfroentley, the group headed there on foot gets spreatreted thank to a giant snake and no sense of driection. What will happen? Find out next time!
