Previously on Deadly Drunken Pirate,
"You better leave that alone." Luffy spoke up again. "Nola is a little grouchy with all our noise." Both Wiper and Nami widen their eyes at what could only be the largest snake they ever seen.
"Well? Got anymore to nag me…about…?" Zoro turned his attention to whatever has silenced the ex-captain and swallowed his words too. And you will to when you gaze upon what could only be, a house-sized South Bird!
"Greeting intruders! We have found your vessel that you stole from us to be our sacrifice to God Almighty!" The Straw hats got on tense and spotted a strange pair dancing on the opposite railing. "And we have been sent to take it back! As well as revenge!" These two looked a lot like the 'dumpling priest' Satori!
"It's far too late to worry about that, intruders. Bah~!" The Straw hats turned to see what seemed to be a human dressed in strange white robes, weird shoes and goat horns on his head. "God Almighty knew you were here when you invaded our clouds! Bah~! And now that you are here on our holy land, it is time for your death! By our hands! Bah~!" That strange human proclaimed and many more appeared from behind the giant trees!
"Oh, I was bored, that's all." Enel finally answered while playing with an apple. "But also because of something that I am sure that the two of you already noticed. Shura and Satori apparently have been slain, and by the same intruder to our land."
"Satori was always the arrogant one with clear inexperience but Shura, I never thought that airhead will ever go down." Ohm responded with clear distain for the former but a slight respect for the latter. Gedatsu just sucked on his lips once again and the bearded subject pointed it out again.
"Of course, as expected to hear from my truly strongest commander." Enel spoke back. "Those two will not be missed as God's power will never be damaged or defied." Enel then whispered to the handmaidens to peel him an apple to eat. "Yet what I truly wanted to announce is that the 'Vessel' has been completed. It will time to leave for the land that Gods live in, the Fairy Verath."
"Speechless, are we~?" Back on the Going Merry, the two look-alikes started to laugh and dance around. "We must have scared you silly, foolish mortals good~!"
"Not scared, just confused." Usopp spoke up, with his hand on his trusty rifle and ready to fire. "I could have sworn that you were that dumpling who dances on white balls in the forest. Are you two his biggest fans, because your uncanny resemblance just makes you look more disgusting."
"He is our big brother~! And you lot killed him~!" The other said and the Straw hats got on guard, it was clear where this was going. "Here, we will get our revenge~!"
"Sorry but you have the wrong people." Nojiko spoke up, with a pair of daggers hidden in her hands. "Your brother was killed but the killer is not here. You should check out the forest because I last saw him go that way." Nami's sister stared them down with the fresh memory of what that dumpling was going to do to her until Luffy bisected him without mercy. She was not going to be helpless this time and she will replay her captain.
"Doesn't matter, you all are going to die because of God Almighty's prophecy~!" Those two started to laugh manically while the Straw hats got ready for one big fight.

Meanwhile,
"Tell me I am not dreaming." Wiper said in a deadpan tone. "Please, I must be having a nightmare. I am not riding the Lord of the Sky like a kid on a horse." Unfortunately, he was and he had to stare at the backside of Luffy with his girl riding both the snake and her boyfriend's lap.
"Save your breath for Eneru, Wiper." Luffy responded, not even bothering to face the native to the sky. "Once he is dead then you can get back to your people and this never happened."
"…Fine." Wiper clammed up and just kept an eye out for whoever will see him like this, if they should even snicker they will get burned really bad from his bazooka. Still, this day won't improve when they did get company, from Wiper's own gang of rebels. "Not one word."
"But Wiper, why are you with them?" One of them appeared to have a large bandana covering his eyes and asked with real concern. "And how the hell did that intruder tame the Lord of the Sky?" He flinched along with the others when the giant snake glared at him, only to calm down when Luffy rubbed her head.
"Her name is Nola." Luffy spoke seriously, "And all she wants to get back to her home so you can relax. Nola won't eat any of you if you behave." The rebels were wondering why they were letting a boy with a straw hat talk them down like children on a field trip. "…now then, I have one small favor to ask." Luffy said which got the Sandians' attention. However, they will come to dread what Luffy suggested. "Could you please let Nola swallow you whole~?"

Deep within the forest,
"I can't believe that the mountain bird took off with moss head? I hope that a South Bird doesn't get infected with his terrible sense of direction." Kuro mumbled while not really annoyed that he was now with Robin instead of Zoro. The dark-tanned women giggled even harder at the thought,
"Yes, I picture the poor bird walking in circles while still facing south." Robin imagined either the bird with Zoro's face or vice versa getting nowhere while trying not to twist its own head off. But she will fantasize on her own time, escpially when they uncovered some old ruins. "Beautiful."
"I suppose." Kuro could only respond to that and stuck with Robin to make sure that her observations will not be disturbed. Unfortunately, even he couldn't count on that happening so soon. A mountain of a man landed out of nowhere and slammed his feet on some ruins, shattering them. Kuro could only tell that Robin was not happy with that act, not that the large man seemed to care.
"I am the commander within God's Army, Yama! Bah~!" Yama is an obese man with a triple chin. He has a round body shape with long wavy black hair and tanned skin. He has bags under his eyes and thick lips. He wears a white toga with black vertical stripes, three on each side. Over his toga he has an orange sash, connected by strings, and has red lining and dark orange vertical stripes on it. Yama wears gold bracelets on both his wrist and has wings on his back. "In the name of God Almighty, any and all intruders shall be killed!"
"Shut up, a woman was having her fun and you stomped on those ruins with your heavy shoes." Kuro retorted and had his cat claw blades ready. "And tell me that you do not feel the anger coming from Robin?"
"Anyone who will bother about some stinking old stone is nothing but a freak! And you should save your breath before I kill you all!" Yama definitely was a bully. And yet even he saw the darken look on Robin's face.
"Kuro-kun is correct. These ruins have history, they cannot be replaced and you shattered them anyways. You. Will. Pay." Robin spoke slowly and crossed her arms to use her powers.
"Women can never stand up to men!" Yama gathered whatever nerves has left in that massive lard he calls a body, and drew out a large sash that had ten dials attached to one side facing away. "Take this! Jūren Akkusu (Ten-Fold Axe)!" With agility not to be expected of his size, Yama rolled towards the pair of pirates with the grace of a gymnast. Kuro knew what those Dials could down with a couple of trees were sliced and diced without even brushing against that interesting weapon.
But Robin couldn't care less about that when she used her powers to reverse the dials on the sash at the moment when Yama couldn't switch them. He instead landed on a tree, feeling the power of his own dials. Robin walked over and with some extra limbs, she forced Yama's bruised face up. "You destroyed what couldn't be replaced. History is in danger of being erased by selfish and ignorant people like you. I am not asking you to understand but I love history with a passion and I hate those who disgrace it."
"…sorry…I am…sorry…" Yama tried to speak in pain with a lame apology that made even Robin cringe. "I…won't…do it…again…"
"Too late, you have committed a terrible crime and you will be punished." Robin was in no mood for mercy. And Yama just didn't take 'no' for an answer and actually grabbed her by the waist with his mountain-sized hands. Only for him to howl in pain when his arms were slashed terribly.
"I was once a captian feared on the Blue Sea." Kuro's voice echoed in Yama's ears, even through the pain. "Until I met a young boy who bested me and yet spared me too and asked me to sail with him. And my captain's orders are to prevent harm to the fair lady, so hands off."
Robin felt a little safe but had no time to relax as the job is not done yet. She created a vine out of extra arms and hands to lift Yama off the ground and got ready to swing him. Robin had to feel some of those bones break because of the sheer size and weight. "Toreinta Furūru: Hangu (Treinta Fleur: Hang)!" And Kuro, he appeared crunched on a nearby tree and vanished right when Yama started to roll towards a cliff like a bowling ball released by a player's grip. The mountain of a man lost his voice when thousands of more cuts appeared on his entire body.
"I must say that you got me an early birthday present, so thanks for the dials." Kuro appeared again and in his hand was the same sash with ten dials attached, and Yama could only watch in horror as his own weapon was used on him yet again; and he also saw Robin with her arms still in position to attack. "Dōse Furūru: Kuracchi (Doce Fleur: Clutch)!"
The forest echoed with the sound of bones breaking followed by a large thud. Both the pirates couldn't sense any life from their foe and started to move on. And Robin, she turned to Kuro and said. "Thank you."

Above the forest this time,
"Let go, goddammit! I told you that it has no food!" Zoro shouted manically, hanging on for dear life as his backpack was in the claws of the giant South bird. For some reason, the massive avian creature thought that it was something to eat and tried to fly away with it but Zoro wanted it back. To bad that he was dragged away for the killer ride.
The extra weight didn't bother the giant bird and it finally took a good feel in the backpack with its beak to find it indeed bare of food. So, it abruptly released the cargo, almost as much as it seized it. "STUPID BIRD!" Zoro shouted to the top of his lungs and braced for landing with some black shining around his upper body.
The fall was short and Zoro was glad to have used toughen himself when he landed into a pile of debris, and rolled off onto some clouds. "Damn bird, just wait until Luffy hears about this." Zoro remembered tenderly about when he witnessed a seagull snatch away his captain like his head was food while they both were still in the East Blue. And while he groaned and tried to get to his feet, with the clouds not helping, Zoro was being watched.
It was a massive creature that let out the growl of a hound dog catching the scent of an intruder, which interrupted its nap. "I know Holy." Yet a voice came and settled the beast. "I assure you that this intruder, like the others, will fall to the might of God's Army as we prepare for his prophecy to come true: with only five still standing." Uhm spoke to the creature and grinned with a sadistic smirk.

Elsewhere,
"Bah…" The man with a goat yell and horns let out a whimper before falling unconscious. His knocked-out body joined the cloud field littered with them and all of them had a steaming mark somewhere on their bodies, in the form of a reindeer hoof. Speaking of whom,
"Even your numbers didn't change a thing." Chopper reigned over his downed foes in his Master Form while Gin, Carol and Frank were enjoying the feeling too. "But seriously, just how do they do it? How do they look like goats but talk?"
"It may be an island in the Sky, Chopper." Gin spoke up. "But we technically are still in the Grand Line so don't ask how, it's just is." And the truth hurts all the same. "But seriously, you just bolted off our scout ship? I wish you will make up your mind, even if you are the captain's little brother." Gin mumbled to himself and Chopper just laughed sheepishly. "Hey, look over there!" Gin suddenly spotted something that grabbed his attention and he bolted towards it. His companions tried to catch up while screaming for the Man Demon to slow down. That is, until they stopped to see a real change of scenery.
It was where the forest eventually ended and even the ground turned back to clouds. But the vast debris littered around made it look like a swamp but without the smells and the bugs. "Just what is this place?" Frank asked out loud when his senses picked up someone approaching with intent to harm, and so did his companions when they also got into a defensive stance.
And out of the blue came Gedatsu, the foolish priest who appeared in God's living room. And yet he got into a serious stance and glared at the Straw Hats. "I guess that you are one of the strong guys, underneath the boss right?" Gin responded while Frank kept his hand on Carols and Chopper got himself ready for a fight.
'That's right! I am one of God's Priests! Fear me!' Too bad that Gedatsu's threat had zero impact since he mistakenly spoke it in his thoughts. This was evidenced by his mouth not moving and the suspense were making the Straw hats tense and antsy.
"Say something already!" Gin got too impatient and a goat-like soldier came out of nowhere and shouted,
"Lord Gedatsu, they can't hear you if you think to yourself! If you want them to hear you then you got to speak up!" And the bizarre priest gasped silently with eyes wide open.
"YOU FORGOT TO SPEAK!?"
"Welcome to the Grand Line everyone!" Gin shouted off at how they got the most stupid foe of them all for their fight.

"Dammit! Just how the hell did I lose the others after Wiper ran off on his own!?" There was just one more rebel in Upper Yard, one named Kamakiri. Kamakiri is a muscular, dark-skinned man with a Mohawk hairstyle and a pair of big, round sunglasses with red lenses and white frame. He also has two big and colored earrings hanging from his ears. On his back he has a pair of classical wings. Kamakiri wears a grass skirt, similar to the ones worn by his companions, but with a red and green elaborate belt around the waist. He also sports a light red fur vest and a necklace that seems to be made of some animal's claws or teeth. "Seriously, why do I have to watch his back just for it to disappear?"
"All the more fun for me." The rebel froze and turned his head in a painfully slow motion to see the man from the throne in the clouds, 'God' Eneru! "And I will acknowledge that you are the second biggest threat under the mortal Wiper. Because I am bored, I will give you one chance to try and kill me." And Eneru showed just how little he saw of his prey by relaxing into a nap on the tree he was resting on.
But Kamikiri was not going to relax and took out his weapons. He thrusted his trusty spear through Eneru's chest but it felt like stabbing air. He then tried to go for a more lethal approach and took what looked like a Dial attached to a handle-sized wooden stick. "Bān Burēdo (Burn Blade)!"
The 'blade' was a concentrated stream of fire and heat that sliced through the trees like a hot knife through a stick of butter, and Eneru. Kamakiri also used his spear to stab Eneru in the head. But still, it was like his foe wasn't even solid. He was a Logia user and at the skill level of turning intangible even in a relaxed state.
"I told you, you had one attempt to kill me and you failed so bad that you tried another, with no better result." Eneru mocked Kamakiri. "This is the difference between I and you, between God and an insect." This was enough to almost make the rebel lose hope and could have sworn to be staring at death in the face, only for death to stare back. "Now it is time for you to die."
"Hey." That cut through the silence just like the Burn Blade did with the trees and when both of them looked, they saw Luffy and Nami still riding on top of Nola; all three of them were staring at Eneru. "Mind if we cut in?"
End of Chapter 39.
