Chapter 180: Battle of the Bell

Nami's plan was to make a jump from the falling beanstalk to the Maxim. Backup plan: Have Naruto make the jump carrying them (and catch them if they fall)

Naruto was in full demon form following them ready to catch them.

Nami started

However Eneru knew what to do, sink the island. He sent out lighting to destroy upper year however as everyone looked on the lighting… while it did destroy some ruins, did nothing to the island.

"The fool! He forgot, Electric Type Attacks don't effect Ground Types." Said Kyubi.

"What?" asked Naruto.

"Just never mind." Said Kyubi.

The two made the jumps. As they were making the jumps Luffy jump into the giant sphere cloud. Causing Nami to fall. Naruto managed to catch her.

"Wait Luffy! Don't!" yelled Nami, "That's just a whirlpool of lighting and wind…"

Naruto turned his head to look at her.

"You really think Luffy's doing something stupid, don't you?" asked Naruto.

Nami just whacked Naruto on the head.

Luffy began to punch the giant cloud. There was a strange electrical discharge. Why? Because the giant golden ball was a conductor.

Everyone around the island began to pray, as Luffy did this. Thankfully Luffy did manage to destroy the cloud.

"You knew he was able to that, didn't you?" asked Nami.

"He has a giant gold ball attached to him and he's made of rubber. Of course he was able to do it." Said Naruto.

Nami stared at her demonic steed.

"Kyubi's been feeding me information." Said Naruto rather sheepishly.

Nami nodded in understanding though wondering how the fox demon that lacked an elemental power knew about that.

Eneru got angry about this and turned into a Buddha made of lighting, and tried to electrocute Luffy.

"I already told you, that won't work on me!" yelled Luffy.

Eneru still has yet to realize that won't work. No matter what the power level.

"You know you're an idiot when you make Team Rocket look smart." Said Kyubi.

"Who?" asked Naruto.

"just never mind…" said Kyubi, "Note: to self. Cut back on certain references. I used two in a row…"

Naruto was confused he landed on a cloud.

"Naruto… what's wrong?" asked Nami.

"Nothing… just Kyubi making jokes that I can never get." Said Naruto as he turned back human and shrugged.

"You might not get them… but other people will." Said Kyubi.

"Who can hear you other than me?" asked Naruto.

"Never mind…" sighed Kyubi.

Back with the fight Luffy gave Eneru yet another punch. As Luffy retraced the punch Eneru smiled evilly. He still has his tridents and he stabbed Luffy.

"Luffy!" yelled Nami.

"The bastard." Growled Naruto.

"Rubber man! I finally have you! You know that since I let go you will fall down." Mocked Eneru.

Luffy gritted his teeth and managed to get down.

Which was a bad thing as now he was falling down.

As he was falling he got an idea, it was a little stupid, but he knew it would. He began to twist his arm that was stuck in the ball in a certain way.

"Nami! Naruto get out of the way!" shouted Luffy.

He then unleashed his arm shouting "Gum Gum Golden Rifle!"

He aimed his punch towards Eneru, not only the punch hit Eneru knocked him out but also hit the golden bell. The force was enough to break the pants that had over grown the bell over the years, but also break the golden ball.

The bell's ring, was a very beautiful sound. A sound that could not be described in words.

The group below had heard it, with Chopper and Sanji, finally have woken up.

"What a beautiful sound." Said Robin.

"He did it!" cheered Hinata.

"Oh come on, you really thought he wasn't able to do it?" asked Anko, "He is made of rubber after all."

"He really did it!" yelled Usopp cheering the loudest.

Gaara smiled at this. He knew Luffy would be able to stop him.

It wasn't just below them that heard this sound. All around the island they heard it., as the others on the island heard it as well. Many crying in joy.

"It's been a long time." Whispered Wyper, "I hope it reaches your decedent."

On the ground, on Jaya. Cricket did hear the sound and did figure out what the monster involved in the cloud.

See if a person was really high up in the sky or say a mountain, they would cast a giant sized shadow.

He figured out that when he saw a certain Shadow, Luffy's.

And yes, that is a real scientific phenomenon. It's called the Brocken spectre.

Cricket began to cry, happy that his friends were okay. As well as the fact that they saved him.

Not too far away from Cricket a mysterious man in a black cloak with red clouds on it, and a straw hat (different than Luffy's) heard the sound of the bell and saw the shadow as well.

"That Shadow definitely belongs to Straw Hats Luffy." Said the man, "So he's in Sky Island. I should wait until they come back down."

The man sighed and enjoyed the sound of the bell. After all, for the time being there was nothing else he can do but wait.

Meanwhile the Maxim fell, with Eneru unconscious there was nothing powering it and fell into the cloud see.

"Come on... catch on fire… come on." Said Kyubi.

Naruto didn't want to say anything about that and tired his best to ignore the fox demon in his head.

"What's wrong?" asked Luffy who was laying on a cloud nearby.

"Just Kyubi being Kyubi." Said Naruto.

Luffy laughed, "Do you guys think they heard on the ground?" he asked.

Nami and Naruto smiled at him.

"I'm sure they did." Said Naruto.

When that chunk of Jaya wound up in Skypiea, the people of Skypiea heard the golden bell, and it was deemed the island's voice. It was also said that if the island's voice ever sang again then the war between the native's and those from Skypiea would end.

And indeed, thanks to Luffy he did end the war, once and for all.

Next time: Peace has finally come to Skypiea. Will the Straw Hats get any treasure? What about the Ponegliff? What else will happen? Find out next time!
