Chapter 63: Arc 6: Reunited! Debriefing In The Forest!

"Looks like they're okay too." Nami sweatdropped when she saw Luffy, Sanji and Usopp sail towards the gathering group. "I'm relieved."

"What a scary guy." Usopp huffed after Sasha and Chopper recounted on the battle against Shura. "Using a spear that can burn things. I'm glad you two didn't get burned."

"I'll become a more dependable man!" Chopper declared on the ship's railing.

"Hey, Chopper, how did you and Sasha get rid of one of the priests?" Luffy asked.

"I used the whistle." Chopper replied. "The Sky Knight came to rescue us."

"So he fought this hard, even though he gave us the whistle for free." Luffy mused, squatting down, Sasha's healing water sphere was already at work on Gan Fall.

"They're many things we'd like to ask him." Sanji stated. "But we'll wait until he wakes up. Thanks to you, too." he turned to Pierre. "Since the ship is in this state and the sun's setting, it looks like we won't be able to head back to Angel's Island until tomorrow. In any case, let's head to the forest and camp at the lakeshore." he suggested, the rest of the crew headed out.

"Why?" Luffy wondered.

"The ship will get destroyed if we have to fight here, right?" Usopp reminded. "Use your head!"

"Also, it's probably a little easier to fight on the shore." Sanji added.

"Alright!" Luffy cheered. "Then, let's start by barbecuing those skysharks." he looked down at the school of skysharks he and Sanji had taken out earlier.

"Quiet!" Usopp took the lead. "We're in the middle of reports."

"We encountered Satori from the Illusion Forest, a priest uses surprise balls." Sanji recounted. "While the surprise balls made the battle tough, the toughest part was that he predicted our movement using a technique called Mantra or something."

"The priest, Shura, who appeared out of nowhere, uses a spear that burns anything." Chopper took over. "The bird he was riding blew flames, too. We're lucky that Sasha's water powers pretty much nullified his fire attacks. The Sky Knight was defeated, too."

"You guys had a really a hard time." Nami sympathized. "But we discovered that this island is the other half of Jaya. The city of gold didn't sink into the ocean, but it flew up into the sky."

"Alright!" Usopp declared. "Well, everyone, thanks for your reports. Based on your reports, we've learned many things. However, the biggest discovery is this! Believe it or not, this island is the city of gold, the one that the Saruyama Alliance is looking for."

"So, what is this Mantra thing?" Zoro asked Sanji.

"I don't know." Sanji admitted. "Maybe it's like an intuition or something. Hey, Chopper." he held out the bowl he was grinding. "Should I grind more?"

"Yes." Chopper nodded. "Make it so that he can swallow. His digestive tract is a little damaged."

"Alright!" Luffy laughed. "Let's do it! Gold hunting!"
