No POV:
"Zehehehehehe!" Ethan laughed as he felt the sensation of the wind on his face. The rest of the Strawhats began to gasp for air as they rocketed upward on the Going Merry. So exhilarated was he that he didn't realize that his fellow pirates fell down from the drop in pressure. At last, they punched through a literal sea of white. Ethan took a look around. "Amazing, right guys?" Ethan said as he turned around. When he faced them however... "Eh? Robin, you okay?" asked Ethan. "WE'RE (wheeze) OKAY AS WELL (wheeze), YOU SHITTY ALCHEMIST!" yelled out the rest of the crew. "Whoops, sorry about that." he replied. After everyone recovered, they began to admire the view. After a while, Usopp took off his shirt. " Alright! I, the brave warrior Usopp, will now swim in this sea!" he yelled. "Wait! Stop, Pinocchio!" Ethan yelled. But it was too late. Usopp had already jumped off. "THAT IDIOT!" yelled Ethan, who raised his voice unusually high. "Why, what is it?" asked Luffy. "Think! If this sea had a bottom, we would've crashed!" Ethan yelled. Luffy quickly realized the situation. "Usopp!" yelled Luffy, who stretched his arm down. "Ojos Fleur!"
At Robin's words, eyes sprouted on Lufy's arm. At the same time, Ethan activated his Observation Haki. "On your left!" the two cried out. "Veinte Fleur!" cried out Robin again. After a moment, she gave the okay to pull up. But when Usopp was pulled up, a giant octopus and some sort large, serpent-like fish came up as well. Zoro slashed one of the tentacles of the mollusk, popping it. Luffy, Sanj, and Ethan drove the fish away. Then the ship shook from a blast. "What now?" yelled Nami. The pirates saw a man wearing a tribal mask and skates. He also wielded a bazooka. The attacker kicked at them and attempted to blast the pirates. Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, and Ethan tried to fight back, but Zoro and Sanji couldn't seem to move fast enough and Luffy and Ethan seemed to get weaker with each kick. "Seastone in here?" gasped Ethan in exhaustion. This continued until the four collapsed. Suddenly, an old knight on a bird wielding a jousting lance came to their aid and chased the attacker away. Afterwards, he introduced himself. "I am Gan Fall the Sky Knight. This is my bird Pierre." he said. "Gan Fall? Wait a minute, I recognize you! Remember me, Gan Fall? I was part of Roger's Crew!" exclaimed Ethan. "Ethan the Alchemist? How are you here again? And you haven't even aged a day!" exclaimed Gan Fall in shock. "How long has it been?" asked Ethan. "About 50 years." said the knight. Then he then gave the pirates a whistle and told them to blow if they need help. He also mentioned that normally it would cost 50,000 extols, but because Ethan was part of their group, it was free. "What are extols?" asked Nami. "Our currency." replied Gan Fall. After mentioning that there were other ways to go to the sky (Nami started the choke Luffy when she heard this) and saying that they are courageous explorers, he decided to take his leave. "My bird ate the Horse-Horse Fruit and can turn into a pegasus! Fly Pierre, and take care, travelers!" he yelled. "What a terrifying sight." said Sanji, referring to the horse's color scheme. The rest of the crew wholeheartedly agreed. They set sail again, and eventually arrived at what looked like a waterfall surrounded by clouds. Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp immediately started to bounce on the clouds, then were dragged off by Nami towards a pair of gates and a sign saying 'Heaven's Gate' near the waterfall, where an old woman was taking pictures of them "Hey, who are you?"asked Luffy. "I'm the gate keeper. In order to pass, pay 1,000,000,000 extols for the entrance fee." said the old woman. "That sounds too expensive." said Nami. "You can go pass if you want." the woman replied. As she finished speaking, a giant shrimp suddenly appeared beneath the ship and carried off the ship at lightning speed. "AAAAAHHH!!!" yelled most of the crew. Near the end, Robin spotted a sign. "Godland Skypeia." she read. "How can you be calm during the entire ride?!" yelled Usopp. "It's not hard." said Ethan. "You guys aren't humans." said Usopp. When the shrimp stopped, it threw them off in front of an island made out of clouds and swam away. "Yahoo!" yelled out Luffy and with that, he jumped off. "Wait for us!" shouted Usopp and Chopper as they jumped off as well. Sanji sighed "They should really calm down." he said. Then he whooped out loud and jumped down. Zoro jumped off as well, muttering "Shitty cook." Then Nami and Robin, who were changing, came out on deck. Nami was wearing a blue bikini top and and brown pants while Robin was wearing a sleeveless yellow shirt and purple pants reaching to her calves. After Nami leaped off the ship, Robin turned to Ethan "Not coming?" she asked. "No, I was just getting a few test tubes. I may have been here before, but I didn't gather anything. Also, I forgot a few things about this place." he replied. Robin nodded, then leaped of the ship. Ethan the other hand waited a while, then threw his sword off the ship point-first so that it would embed itself on the cloud. He jumped on top of it Zabuza-style (from Naruto, for those who don't know), and began to fill up his test tubes with the water-like cloud. Then he trudged towards the beach, pulling his sword free and sheathing it. Along the way, he noticed he felt weak. "Huh, just like the sea." Ethan said to himself. When he arrived at the beach, he immediately began to fill up his remaining test tubes with the land-like cloud. After filling them up, he noticed a bunch of flowers in front of him. After picking one, he approached Robin and gave her it. "For you, hime." said Ethan. "How sweet of you." replied Robin. Then Ethan felt as if he was in a heat wave. He turned around and came face to face with a flaming Sanji, who had 2 flowers clenched in his fist. Ethan frowned. "You do know that you're burning a flower for Nami, right?" he deadpanned. Sanji looked at his hands in horror, before rushing away yelling about getting new flowers for Nami. "Geez, so annoy..."
Ethan turned back towards Robin and stopped mid-speech. She had the flower he gave her in her hair. Ethan had a massive blush and steam coming from his ears. "C-cute..." said Ethan. Robin smiled. Then, sweet music was heard. "It's an angel!" yelled Sanji. "What? No way!" yelled the pirates. When they arrived, they saw a blonde girl playing a harp. "Heso. I'm Conis, I've never seen you people before, are you from the Blue Sea?" she asked. "If you mean we came up from below this island, yes." replied Nami. Luffy had stars for eyes. "Do angels poop?" he asked before Sanji kicked him into the ground. "Hey, Ethan, you ate the Angel-Angel Fruit. Can you turn into someone like her?" Usopp asked. Ethan frowned. "She isn't an angel. I definitely don't look like her when I transform. It's a lot more...scarier." he stated. "Then show us one of your transformations." said Usopp. Ethan sighed. "Please don't be scared, okay? I probably will look scary, but I have no ill intent against you." he said to Conis. She nodded, looking confused. Ethan closed his eyes. "Rank 1: Judge." he spoke. Immediately, a white fluid-like substance began to harden into a skull-like mask around his face. His eyes snapped open, revealing that they became icy blue and the pupils turned into slits. His muscles grew larger, and his hair became more longer and shaggier, eventually going up to his waist. His skin turned bone-white, and 5 spikes began grow from each of his shoulders. His shoes became covered by the fluid-like substance from earlier and hardened into clawed feet while his fingernails became claws. A tail began to grow beneath his coat. At last, a large pair of black and white wings sprouted from his back, each ending with what looked like some sort of hand. His transformation complete, Ethan roared at the sky. The crew was dumbfounded for a moment. Then Ethan broke the silence. "Well, you got what you wanted." he said before reverting back. "THAT WAS AN ANGEL???!!!!" yelled out the pirates in shock. "No way, you looked more like a demon just now!" yelled Sanji. Usopp fainted, as did Chopper. Luffy had stars for eyes again. Zoro felt intimidated while Nami backed away from shock. Conis did the same. The only one who seemed calm, albeit a little shaken, was Robin. "Your opinions of me have changed, haven't they." said Ethan dejectedly. "Nope, not at all." said the pirates suddenly. "Then don't be such drama queens, you guys freaked me out for a second there!" he yelled. "It's the other way around, you shitty alchemist!" they retorted. Suddenly, a man crashed in front of them. He was riding a strange-looking vehicle. "I'm sorry." he apologized. "Are you alright? Oh dear, how rude of me. My name is Pagaya." Then he blinked. "Oh, I see that you've already met Conis. May I invite you all to my home and offer some dishes of the local food? he asked. "Yeah, sure, but what's the boat that you're riding called?" asked Nami. "Oh, this? It's a waver, a vehicle propelled by a jet dial." said Pagaya. Then, everyone heard a dull buzz, then a scream. "AAHHH, IT'S SHAKING SO MUCH! I CAN'T STOP!!!" screamed Luffy. Ethan immediately sprouted wings and flew off towards Luffy. After managing to shut down the waver and grabbing Luffy with his feet (which have turned into claws), he brought back the waver and smashed Luffy into a tree. "Idiot, this sea has the same properties as the sea that we come from! Devil-Fruit users can drown!" berated Ethan. "Really?" asked Chopper. Ethan blinked. "Yes. I felt weaker than usual when I got off. You didn't notice?" he asked. The devil-fruit users nodded. "Now that I think about, it's probably the same for the solid cloud as well since the clouds seems similar, it's just that we're not touching it directly." he said frowning. "Yes, you're correct." said Pagaya. 'Smart and handsome.' thought Robin. Nami decided to study the waver while the rest of the crew walked towards Pagaya's house. Along the way, Pagaya proceeded to tell about the unique quality of the clouds. He explained that clouds that contains pyrobloin, a compound in seastone, form sea and island clouds. Island clouds are more dense while sea clouds are less dense. Sea clouds also affect Devil-Fruit users a lot more than island clouds. When they finally arrived, Sanji immediately headed for the kitchen after Pagaya, saying that he'll prepare a Sky Island cuisine. The rest of the crew questioned about dials. Conis pointed held up a cone-shaped shell. "This is a tone dial. It can store sound. If you speak into it, then press the apex, you can hear your voice." said Conis. Ethan took it from her, who shivered slightly. "Pinocchio is an idiot." he spoke to the dial. When he pressed the apex of the shell, it repeated his exact words. "Neat. Hmm, then how about this?" said Ethan with an idea. "Sanji is a Percy Coo-" He was silenced when Sanji came out of the kitchen, kicked Ethan in the mouth, and went back inside. And it all happened in under one second. Ethan looked ticked off. "That tickled." he muttered before wiping off the blood. After Conis described a few more dials, the food finally came. Luffy, Chopper, Zoro, and Usopp dug in while Robin sipped from a glass of wine. Ethan nibbled on a lobster while Sanji stood by the window. "Hey, where is Nami-san?" he asked. "Oh dear, I hope she hasn't gone too far. The Upper Yard is there." said Pagaya worriedly. "The Upper Yard?" asked Usopp. "It's a sacred place where God lives." Conis explained. "God? He lives here?!" exclaimed Luffy and Ethan. "Is God a good ruler?" asked Ethan. "O-of course!" replied Pagaya without conviction. Ethan frowned. "Is he strong?" asked Luffy. "Yes, very." replied Conis. "Right. I've made up my mind." said Luffy and Ethan. "I'm going to the Upper Yard/ I'm going to beat the shit out of God!"
