DISCLAIMER: ONE PIECE IS NOT MINE! ONLY THE STORY AND MY CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME!

"Is Conis gonna be alright? I know that you said that Takao can take care of her and her dad, but I'm still worried." Usopp asked in worry.

"Now, now, Usopp-kun. It seems like you didn't believe me at all, did you?" I replied back with a grin, "I told you, he's far stronger and smarter than you, Usopp. Don't worry too much! You just never see him fighting for real, aren't you?" I added with a laugh.

"What do you mean by he's far stronger and smarter than me?!"

"Welp! We'll just see it later! But now we gotta focus on saving the others first! Let Takao handle Conis and her dad! They'll be fine!" I told him.

"It's not we had any other choice. I'd like to protect her myself, but there's no way we could've taken her with us." Sanji-san said.

"Yeah, it'd be a lot more dangerous with us." Usopp agreed.

"Yeah, especially with Luffy around because he's a trouble magnet." I added with a firm nod.

"You're the same, you know." Usopp replied with a backhand motion, "We're going to the Sacrificial Altar. And there's horrific Ordeals all set up for us." He added.

"Man, this thing is slow." Luffy complained at Karasumaru's slowness.

"This boat's several times heavier than a Waver. Don't be picky." Sanji-san told him.

"Besides, you can't even handle a Waver, Luffy. Don't be picky and just accept it. It's a good thing that Conis gave us this rather than none." I added as we're going down to a bigger Milky Road and he just boo-ed.

"Oi look! What's that huge forest?!" Usopp pointed out as we're slowly going there.

"I think that's Upper Yard." I answered calmly.

"SUGOOOI! Was this forest on the map?" Luffy asked.

"Ah, well… this map does have a forest on it, but it's not this big. Just a normal forest." Usopp replied as he checked on the old map.

"The guy who had that map was here over 200 years ago. And even then, that map might've already been old." Sanji-san said, "I'd say it'd take at least 1.000 years for tress to grow this big."

"That, or maybe because the atmosphere here is different, so it makes the trees to grow faster than normal trees. Or maybe because no one is allowed there to cut down the trees so they kept on growing for hundred years." I added.

"That's true…" Usopp agreed.

"They're so huge! It makes me want to climb one!" Luffy commented excitedly.

Slowly, we're finally about to enter the Upper Yard's entrance and on either side of us stand clay dolls-like that are styled like Indian or Hawaiian's. It's creepily cute but it seems Usopp isn't in the same thought as mine.

"Okay, if we're gonna turn back, this is our last chance. You'd better be ready, Usopp." Sanji-san told him with a grin.

"T-then if possible, I'd like to go back—"

"Don't be like that, Usopp! You should be brave just like when you're about to protect your village! Man, I remember when I was at your age…" I started, acting like I'm old (even though I actually am but that's different).

"You're younger than me!"

As we're finally entering the entrance, Usopp seems to be in horror while looking around of the forest and the stone statues. Then as there's something moving in the forest, Usopp seems to be in full-alert mode, especially when he saw many shipwrecks all stuck on either side of us.

"S-something's out there!" Usopp exclaimed in fear.

"Well, it's a forest." Luffy replied.

"Yeah, that's right." Sanji-san agreed while I just nodded in agreement.

"W-wait a second, you guys. Those are shipwrecks!" Usopp pointed out.

"Well, it's a forest!" Luffy replied again.

"Yeah, that's right." Sanji-san agreed again while I nodded again in agreement.

"That's got nothing to do with it!" Usopp exclaimed out. "What's more, all of these ships have been split in half…" he pointed out before we heard something rustling from the forest, "T-there it is again…" Usopp said.

"Maybe there's like a trap or something." I said as I looked around, "Okay Usopp. You take the wheel." I told Usopp as I stood up and left the wheel.

"You just don't want to deal with it, aren't you?!"

And right as Luffy decided to take the wheel, I saw a huge blade with some kind of face decoration on it is coming toward us.

"Oh hey guys, there's the trap number 1." I pointed out calmly as the others panicked. Somehow in the panic, the guys managed to make the boat flew up a bit and dodged the trap, which resulting the blade to cut a shipwreck into half.

"A scythe monster!" Luffy commented with pale face.

"DON'T JUST SAY THAT! HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE!" Usopp exclaimed out in pure horror and panic.

"Nah, it's actually more than one trap." I said calmly.

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM ON THIS?!" Usopp yelled at me with comical tears and shark-teeth.

"PADDLE AS HARD AS YOU CAN!" Luffy exclaimed out as Usopp and Sanji-san took the oars and started paddling to dodge the traps.

"Good luck, you guys! Here comes another one!" I cheered out while holding onto the boat and looking out for more traps.

"W-what the hell's going on!?" Sanji-san exclaimed out.

"Look ahead! Put on the brake, Luffy!" Usopp told Luffy.

"Damn, we're not gonna make it! Switch with me Usopp!" Luffy told him as they both exchange places, but instead Luffy actually paddling, he put the oar back and decided to sit on the back on the Dials instead.

"What are you doing, Luffy?! You should be aiming this way!" Usopp exclaimed out.

"Just keep going straight! Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!" and just like that, Luffy bazooka'ed the Milky Road and the boat along with us flew up, dodging the blade.

"Good job, Lu!" I cheered.

"THAT WAS CLOSE!" Usopp exclaimed out as the boat landed back on the Milky Road.

"Here comes trap number 2." I told the others with a grin. True enough, this time instead of blades, its sharpened woods that got launched toward us and one actually got the boat and the panic is back to us. I used my Kairoseki bo staff to hit all of them away from getting the boat again because honestly having a hole in your boat is the last thing we want, especially if its suddenly leaks in white, fluffy cloud that's slowly filling in and the boat slowly sink and we're all drowned or worse, got eaten by some unknown Sky Island animals.

"STOP MONOLOGUING DARK STUFFS, WILL YOU?!"

Oh crap I actually said it out loud.

"They'll just keep on coming!" Sanji-san said.

"We'll get hit any second!" Usopp said in panic.

"This is a pain! I'll stop 'em all!" Luffy exclaimed in annoyance as he grabbed two of the sharpened woods and twisting his body up before he twisted back his body to normal while hitting off all the sharpened woods away from the boat, "Gomu Gomu no Kazaguruma!"

After Luffy managed to hit all of them away, we finally got away from the trap number 2.

"We made it." Sanji-san said as he sighed in relief.

"I hope that's all, damnit." Usopp cursed as he's still focusing on driving the boat.

"Nah, there's another one." I said, which kinda crushes his hope on that and his face is pale again.

"Oi oi, are you serious?" he whined out before he saw something glowing from the woods, "Hm? What's that?" he asked and not even a minute, something is flying towards us and we barely managed to dodge it as the others panicked at that.

"It's a boomerang!" Luffy pointed out in horror.

"Oh shiiit." Sanji-san cursed in horror.

"Oh it's coming back here." I said as I watched the said boomerang is turning back towards us.

"IT'S COMING BACK!"

"RUN FOR IT!"

I laughed happily and in excitement as the guys are panicking on dodging the boomerang as it kept on coming back and it eventually cut down some of the huge trees that stands tall around us. Usopp yelled at me for laughing at the misery, but I just ignored him and laughed harder as the panic is keep on going as the blade boomerang is back to give the others misery before we finally able to stay alive again from trap number 3.

"I think we finally made it…" Usopp said in slight relief before turning to me, "Don't tell me there's another trap."

"Maybe." I answered with a meaningful grin and he just paled up at that.

"But what are we gonna do now? We can't go back anymore. We've come too far from the entrance." He continued.

"Wanna get off here?" Luffy asked as a suggestion.

"YOU IDIOT! WE'LL DIE!"

"Looks like it." Sanji-san commented as he and I saw a huge lamprey actually coming towards us before the others saw the same thing and Usopp panicked. Then Sanji-san jumped towards the huge lamprey and kicked it away while Usopp is screaming in horror.

"What's that? A snake?" Luffy asked as he looked at the flying lamprey that landed back into the Milky Road.

"It's a lamprey eel. Or a Skylamprey, I guess." Sanji-san answered, "That thing will do more than suck our blood at that size!" he added as he sat back down.

"This forest is so cool!" Luffy said in awe.

"It's not cool in the slightest! Everything here is trying to kill us!" Usopp replied back.

"Or trying to keep us away from something." I added with a grin.

"But we only just got here." Luffy added too.

"While we're on the Milky Road, it seems like if we stop to catch our breath, we're gonna be in deep shit. Our only choice is to keep moving forward." Sanji-san pointed out.

"Well, you're not wrong, Sanji-san." I agreed with a small laugh.

"WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT ALL OF THIS?! I DON'T GET YOU AT ALL!" Usopp yelled at me with comical tears and shark-teeth.

"Now, now, don't be so worked up, Usopp! You're tiring yourself!" I replied happily with a huge grin.

"As expected from Eri-chwaaaan~! So energetic and positive~!" Sanji-san swooned.

"Sometimes I really wondered on what star you're born at and why are you like this…" Usopp replied back, "Damnit… Does it ever end?" he added as he focused back on driving.

"But it hasn't gotten exciting yet. Those Priests up ahead must really be looking forward to test us!" Luffy said in excitement in his voice tone.

"What do you mean? You mean no one's been able to get into the Ordeals until now? But what about that Ordeal of Fog that almost got Conis before?" Usopp asked.

"It's probably just the only one that happens often as it's not only happening in Upper Yard, but also at Conis' place. Man, that Priest should be satisfied already on how many Ordeals they did to people." I answered, "besides, we still don't know what kind of power the god of this place have. Who knows how powerful he will be." I added.

"Yeah, that's right… He is God, after all!" Usopp agreed in worry, "He might've been watching us right now!" he added in more worry.

"Since when are you so superstitious? You don't even live here." Sanji-san asked.

"That's not the issue here. Anyone called God has to be powerful. You're supposed to bow before guys like that even if you're not serious about it. Then you can talk to him." Usopp replied.

"True, but there are other gods in the world who aren't that powerful." Sanji-san replied back as he turned to both Luffy and Usopp, "The God of Being Poor, or the God of Jinxes." He said while looking at respective ones.

"WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"

"But of course! The Goddess of War is the powerful one~!" Sanji-san swooned as he looked at me.

"More like, the Goddess of Being Creepy." Usopp commented before he got hit in the head by Sanji-san's foot but I just ignored it.

"Looks like while we've been sailing and talking, our next guests have decided to come forward and greet us." I commented as I feel something is coming towards us. True enough, it's another Skylamprey like before and Usopp screamed in horror.

"Hey, do you think this big thing would taste good if it got barbequed?" Luffy asked.

"Forget it. How can I cook something in a place like this?" Sanji-san answered and Luffy boo-ed at that before giving the Skylamprey a punch and make it flew away from eating us and the boat in one bite.

"Man, this is fun! Imagine if this happened every day, Usopp! Should we get off here and start staying here for a few weeks?" I asked him with a laugh.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! I'LL DIE FIRST EVEN BEFORE WE FINISH A DAY HERE! IT'S SCARY! GIVE ME A BREAK!" he yelled at me and I just laughed at that while the others two just watched in amusement.

"Woah! Now there's a Giant in our way!" Luffy pointed out as we turned to look back forward. There, there's a huge stone statue with face and some decorations carved onto it in a Buddhist way, along with five stones that stood in front of the huge statue with holes on them and some writings.

"No, it's a stone statue." Sanji-san said.

"Oi. Then, is it a dead end?" Luffy asked.

"No, there are five doors." Usopp pointed out.

"Don't tell me… they all lead to different locations?" Sanji-san asked.

"Seems like it." I answered with a grin.

"Ordeal of Fog, Ordeal of Swamp, Ordeal of Iron, Ordeal of String, and Ordeal of Balls." Usopp read the writings above the hole-doors as we slowly getting closer to the said statues.

"We can pick any one we want!" Luffy said with a laugh.

"So now God wants to play a game with us?" Sanji-san said in slight annoyance.

"Five Ordeals… Which one do we choose?" Usopp asked.

"Yosh! Let's go with Balls! Balls!" Luffy said as he pointed at the Ordeal of Balls one.

"Why, Luffy?" Usopp asked.

"Well, it sounds like fun." Luffy answered.

"That's your reason?! These are Ordeals! They're not supposed to be fun!"

"I also like balls." I added with a meaningful smile.

"Somehow I don't know how to react on your answers anymore, Eri." Usopp commented, "But… I'm in favor of Balls too. It's the only one that doesn't sound violent." He continued.

"The Fog one too, actually. But considering fog means we barely can see anything, I'm pretty sure that some kinds of deep shit will happen and you guys can barely see what is happening." I pointed out while looking at the guys, "in any case, we gotta be careful." I added.

"We have to make up our minds. We're almost there." Sanji-san said.

"Balls! Let's choose Balls!" both Luffy and I said in sync.

"Y-yosh! When it comes down to it, trust both siblings' instincts." Usopp decided and turned the wheel toward the Ordeal of Balls.

Wrong choice to do, Usopp.

"Then that's that. But don't get careless. We're on God's Island 10.000 meters above sea level. No one knows what kinds of strange things are gonna happen." Sanji-san warned.

"LET'S GO! BALLS!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

As we slowly entered the Balls one, the place is so dark that I barely can see anything. Usopp is a bit panicking at the darkness and I laughed at that.

"It's still dark with my eyes open!" Usopp said.

"Ah, hey. You know what this reminds me of?" Luffy started in amusement.

"W-what?"

"You know how there were five doors? One of them is a prize door, and the rest are all losing ones." I continued in amusement.

"Huh!? What the hell!? Why are you two saying that NOW!? What if we picked the wrong one!?" Usopp replied in panic.

"If we've lost… Well…" Luffy started as he looked up to think.

"We'll probably fall off from Sky Island." I continued with a snicker.

"SCREW THAT! I'm not falling off anything! It's 10.000 meters from here to Blue Sea!" Usopp yelled with shark-teeth as he turned to look at both of us who just grins in amusement at him, "YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES YOUR LIFE WOULD FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES DURING THAT FALL!? EVEN FALLING HAS TO HAVE A LIMIT!" He continued while we both just laughed at that as we're slowly going towards the exit of the darkness.

"Enough of this dumb shit." Sanji-san commented with a sweatdrop, "There's no way that—"

And before he can finish his words, the Milky Road under our boat actually goes down drastically like a waterfall and we're currently floating in the air while the other Milky Road for the four Ordeals are went on straight that goes down to the forest normally like a slide, which resulting the others to get so shocked at this before they screamed out as the gravity took us back while I just laughed at this.

"NOOOOOO!"

A/N: Man, the same last line like last chapter? Hell yes because Usopp is there and I'm sure he'll be the one that yells a lot (lol), especially to Eri-chan. Too bad we're not going to the Fog one first! But hey! Let's just see later!
