A/N: Hurray! It's the 5th anniversary since I updated this story. A lot has happened since then... A lot... I can't believe it.
And because the arc is almost over and also because of this day, I will reveal the next two arcs: Itachi returns and Sasuke Retrieval! It's two filler arcs. I won't go into details other than that... but still, those are the next ones. Enjoy the new chapter.
Chapter 179: The Race to the Bell
Everyone that was on the White White Sea was in shock. Where Angel Island once stood was now a gapping a hole. All because of Eneru.
"A god should no choose who should live and who should die." Said Kyubi, "That's the Biju's job!"
"Luffy we need to get down here!" yelled Nami, "The gold doesn't matter anymore."
"This isn't about your greed." Said Naruto.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Nami.
"Luffy told me his reasons for coming up here." Said Naruto.
"What reasons?" asked Nami.
"Noble reasons." Said Kyubi, "Um… can you tell her that for me?"
"I think Luffy should tell her." Thought Naruto.
"Oh… yeah… right…" said Kyubi.
Luffy looked at Nami, "That diamond headed guy's ancestor wasn't lying." Said Luffy.
Nami's eyes winded, she didn't think of him.
"El Dorado is here in the sky and with a bell that big they should be able to hear it!" said Luffy, "If I don't ring it they're just continue searching for it until they die!"
Nami sighed, she had to admit it, he made a good point this time.
That was when Luffy decided to try to grab onto Eneru's ship once again… but it failed.
"Maybe kit… you should your brother not to I don't know… grab the ship." Said Kyubi sarcastically.
"Girl now tell me do you want to go to endless Vearth?" asked Eneru from his ship, "Those voices below you won't last long."
"Never!" yelled Nami.
"Hey what about me." Said Naruto.
"I don't care about you." Said Eneru.
"You don't?" asked Naruto started crying.
"You annoy me demon." Said Eneru.
Naruto immediately stopped crying, "I do have that effect on people." Said Naruto with a big smile.
Eneru gritted his teeth, he would go soon, so why bother striking him down now…
"Naruto annoyed him on purpose." Explained Nami with a sweat drop.
"Oh…" said Luffy.
That was when Luffy started running up the bean stalk, he failed, he then grabbed Nami's waver… still failed.
"This… might take a while." Sighed Nami.
(Flashback)
The group headed towards the city of gold were talking.
"So there's supposed to be the golden bell, right?" asked Luffy.
"That is what the story said." Said Kakashi.
"Do you think that the diamond headed guy and the monkeys would hear it if we rang it?" asked Luffy.
(End of Flashback)
Down below them at the base of the beanstalk.
"He really said that?" asked Usopp.
"Knowing him he's going not going to give up." Sighed Sakura.
"But under these circumstances…" said Robin.
"Luffy is immune to lighting. So fighting him like that won't matter." Said Gaara.
"How do you know Luffy is immune to lighting?" asked Sakura.
"He is made of rubber." Said Gaara.
There was an awkward silence among them.
Meanwhile with Eneru, after all that with Luffy. He managed to get the golden bell.
Well that sucks…
Back below the Bean Stalk.
"You knew the whole time, didn't you?" asked Robin.
Gaara, nodded. "I am immune as well… but I felt it was better Luffy fought him."
The crew knew why Gaara choose not to fight him. Ichibi would have gained control somehow.
That was when a giant leaf fell down.
"Something's falling everyone get down!" yelled Usopp.
"It's just a leaf." Said Kiba, "Don't act like it's an avalanche."
They looked at the leaf and saw it had a message from Nami.
"Cut the beanstalk and make sure it falls to the west." They read.
"She must be planning something." Said Sakura.
"I wonder if they're trying to jump down?" asked Robin.
"Look up there!" yelled Usopp.
"For the last time Usopp! It's just a leaf!" yelled Ino.
"No… look." Said Kiba.
They all looked up and saw Eneru was creating yet another sphere cloud, this time much bigger, to destroy all of Skypiea.
Back with Luffy's group.
"That jerk!" yelled Luffy, "That ones' even bigger than the last!"
"He probably found the bell." Said Kyubi.
Naruto nodded.
"Aren't you going to escape?" asked Luffy turning to Nami.
"If I just leave the waver, you'll just crash it." Said Nami.
"You know… you don't have to leave the Waver. I can turned into a ride-able fox." Pointed out Naruto.
"I'm going to stay." Said Nami.
"I just said Luffy can ride me." Said Naruto with a sweat drop
"That's not the best thing to do." Said Nami then looked at Luffy, "Luffy, you have to promise you're going to live. "
"I don't think she thinks you'll live though this." Said Kyubi.
"Why?" asked Naruto.
"I think she thinks that Eneru will try to kill you after you annoyed him so much." Said Kyubi.
Naruto couldn't come up with a comeback.
"We only have one instant for this to work." Said Nami.
Back on the ground… er… cloud.
"Is this even going to work?" asked Usopp panicking.
"It's Nami, her calculations are never wrong." Said Sakura.
That was when Eneru sent out another lightning bolt at them, causing them to jump in shock.
"We need to do this." Said Sasuke.
"Is everyone ready!" cheered Anko.
"We're they're only hope." Said Zoro.
"And they're our only hope." Said Kakashi.
Zoro ran towards the beanstalk, he cut off a chunk of the vine. However lightning bolt hit the cloud near him and he fell through.
"Okay… I guess that leaves it up to me." Said Sakura.
"I was wondering why she didn't go first." Said Ino.
"Yeah, I'm wondering that too." Said Kiba.
"Wait!" yelled Wyper, "Why are you doing this?"
"Why you want a go at knocking down the vine?" asked Sakura.
That was when there was a crash and the beanstalk started leaning, but it didn't fall over.
"I'm going to have to do it." Sighed Sakura, "But I would like to wait a minute to see why you want to do it."
"What I want to know is why he's trying to ring the bell." Said Wyper.
"Robin…" said Sakura cracking her knuckles.
Robin proceeded to tell the quick story of Noland and Cricket.
As it turned out as a child, Wyper's dream was to ring the bell so that Noland would hear it in heaven (he was a kid).
He stared crying which made Sakura sigh, "You knew that story didn't you?" she asked.
"How did you know?" asked Wyper.
"Do it…" sighed Sakura.
"But Sakura he's injured." Said Hinata.
"I know that, I am a doctor." Pointed out Sakura.
"Oh… right…" whispered Hinata.
Sakura nodded to Wyper who ran towards the beanstalk. He once again used the Reject Dial… which was the final blow against the beanstalk and it started falling to the west. But the question was, how was this going to get them there?
