Chapter 8: Landing on Angel Beach
The crew stared in amazement as they looked at the island while they sailed closer. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were staring with stars in their eyes, eager to get onto land. Elizabeth looked ready to whip out her easel and paint the sight before her. Johnny and Yosaku were rubbing their eyes, still not believing the sight before them. Arlong was to stunned. Gin blinked a few times while he looked at the strange island. Anna and Vivi stared in awe while Carue tilted his head in amazement. Nami, Luna, and Nojiko were grinning at the beautiful island, and all the others just stared in awe, even if they didn't show it. The ship sailed near the shore before Luffy took a deep breath and jumped off the ship.
"Hang on!" Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku yelled as they jumped after Luffy, who was standing in the sky sea.
"It's not very deep." Luffy said as the three of them smacked into the water and stood up, showing that it reached their ankles.
"That soft cloud is below us?" Usopp said before they all smiled and began running off towards the shore.
"This still seems unbelievable." Gin said as all the women went to change while Chopper ran to join the four others on shore shoving each other around and laughing.
"Yeah, like a dream." Zoro said as he dropped the anchor.
"Still, with the way those guys are having fun, it's hard not to join in." Sanji said as he placed his shoes on deck, took off his jacket, and jumped into the sea. "WOOHOO!"
"You're having too much fun." Zoro said before Nami ran out of the room, the Southbird from before pecking at her head while she screamed before it flew off.
"We forgot to let the Southbird go after getting to the Knock-Up Stream." Nami said as the other women came out of the room in different clothing. Nami with in a blue one piece that had white mixed in and dark brown shorts, Nojiko in a light blue bikini top and white shorts, Robin in a yellow top and purple pants that hugged her legs, Anna was in a yellow crop top and blue shorts, Vivi was in a bikini top that was as blue as her hair and teal shorts, and Elizabeth was wearing a white tank top with blue shorts. (A/N: Not very creative, but I'm no fashion guru.)
"Leave it be." Zoro said as Gin jumped into the sea and began walking towards the shore. "Looks like people live here. That bird can take care of himself."
"Either way, this place looks like a good place to rest." Arlong said before jumping off the side of the ship and landing ankle deep into the clouds.
"I wonder what it's like on shore." Vivi said as she and Carue jumped off and laughed while running towards shore.
"Wait for us!" Anna yelled as she and Elizabeth jumped off before running after them.
"Come on you two." Nojiko said as she jumped off. "This place won't explore itself!"
"Will you be coming?" Robin asked Zoro.
"Yeah. I'm coming." Zoro said as Robin looked at everyone playing on the beach.
"The scent of adventure, navigating and landing. I never thought of them that way." Robin said before jumping off and walking towards the shore, where everyone was having fun.
"Sky Island would be a great place to sleep." Chopper said with a sleepy look on his face as he began rolling on the beach. Gin didn't roll, but he followed Chopper's lead as he began napping under a nearby tree. Soon some sailors from the Iowa were jumping into the sea, and other were going onto shore and laying down towels and setting up umbrellas and proceeded to fall asleep, but some also decided to lounge around on the deck of the ship.
"Quaaack!" Carue quacked happily, having plenty of space to run after being cooped up on the ship, with Vivi on his back laughing as the wind whipped her face.
"Robin-chan~!" Sanji sang as he approached her and gently placed the flower in her hair. "A flower for you!" He said before running off to give flowers to the other ladies while Robin took the flower from her hair and looked at it.
"The marines can't chase us here!" Nami said as she stretched her arms out wide with a smile. "We can finally relax." She then noticed a structure a short walk away just as Chopper rolled to her feet. "Hey Chopper. What do you think that is?" She and Chopper walked towards it before sitting down on the chairs that were made of clouds that felt like cushions. "I guess that they have ways of turning clouds into things like this." Soon Luffy walks over and Nami is picked up by Luffy, who then sits on the chair and puts Nami in his lap. Nami leans back into his chest with a smile on her face as he laces his hand with hers and rests their hands on her stomach and feel some kicks.
"I bet you're wondering what it is you want to paint first, right?" Anna asked Elizabeth as she balanced her light body on her head.
"I'm gonna need a bigger easel!" Elizabeth said with a huge smile. "Maybe they have really cool paint up here!"
"If they do, then I bet your paintings will look so amazing, it'll make this place dull in comparison." Anna said, causing both of them to smile.
"A place like this is perfect to get a tan." Jones said.
"How do you get wet from clouds anyway?" Zoro asked before he found something on the ground. "Hey, a rag!" He said as he lifted it and tried to wipe his ankles before realizing it was an animal. He dropped it in shock before apologizing while the little animal got it's senses back. "Is this a fox?" He asked before something caught everyone's attention. The sound of a harp playing beautiful music could be heard in the distance.
"What's that?" Gin asked as he opened one eye.
"Someone's over there." Jones said as he pointed his hand at the figure playing the music.
"Who is it?" Usopp asked as he hid behind a tree. "That gorilla again?"
"Quick! Blow the whistle! Call the Knight!" Chopper yelled in panic.
"Wait. It's not him." Sanji said as the figure came into view. "It's...an Angel!"
"An Angel?" Usopp said as everyone began looking at the Angel as she played her harp before she stopped and looked at them all with a kind smile.
"Heso."
"...Heso?" Some of them asked as Sanji gazed at her with hearts in his eyes. Everyone wondered what Heso meant.
"Suu, come." Said the woman before the little animal came to her. "Are you all from the Blue Sea?" She asked as she walked towards them.
"Yeah, we came from down there." Luffy said. "Do you live here?"
"Yes, I do." She said. "Welcome to Skypiea's Angel Beach." She said. "My name's Conis." Said the Angel. "And this is Suu, a Cloudfox. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask."
"Actually," Sanji said. "I believe that my heart is-" He began before Nami pulled him away by his ear. She then told Conis that they had many questions before Zoro pointed out that something was coming towards them from the sky sea. Conis explained that it was her father before the man rode the Waver he was on onto shore and smacked into a tree.
"Are you all okay?" He asked as he slowly got up.
"THAT'S OUR LINE!" Zoro yelled.
"Luffy, is that thing you brought up from the ocean floor a Waver?" Nami asked him.
"Yeah." Luffy replied. Conis and her father, Pagaya, began chatting with everyone before Conis asked if he caught anything.
"Yes. A fine catch." Pagaya said. "Would you all like to join my daughter and I for lunch?"
"Lunch?! Alright!" Luffy yelled as Sanji offered to help.
"Before that, how does this work?" Nami asked as she stared at the Waver. "No sail to catch wind, and you weren't rowing it."
"You don't know about Dials?" Conis asked.
"Dials?" Some of them asked(1).
Moments Later
Pagaya then explained that the Waver was light and that only those that know the sea well can ride it. "It takes about 10 years to learn how to ride it."
"WAHOO!" Nami yelled as she rode the Waver around with ease. "This is amazing!"
"NAMI-SAN~! YOU'RE THE GREATEST!" Sanji yelled with hearts in his eyes.
"That is quite extraordinary!" Pagaya said as everyone watched her riding around on the clouds.
"That's my sister for ya!" Nojiko said.
"Go Big Sis!" Johnny and Yosaku cheered.
Nami continued to ride on the Waver while everyone else followed Pagaya to his house to eat. As they walked, they noticed other people cutting up bits of clouds while Pagaya explained how they formed, which Usopp began to brag about how it was easy enough for him to play with when he was a kid.
"Shut up, Long-Nose!" Gin said before they all got to the house and walked inside. Sanji helped Pagaya in the kitchen while everyone else relaxed in the main room. While Sanji yelled and made noise in the kitchen, Conis began explaining what Dials were to everyone else. Everyone was looking at the Dials.
"LUFFY!" Usopp yelled when Luffy began staring off into space.
"Huh?" Luffy said as he turned to them all.
"You really must've been out of it." Vivi said. "The food's already here."
"FOOD!" Luffy yelled as his eyes fell on the Sky Cuisine on the table. He ran over and began eating with the others while Sanji went to the balcony to smoke.
"Where'd Nami-san go?" He asked.
"Isn't she out there?" Nojiko asked.
"I don't see her." Sanji said.
"She's probably having fun exploring." Usopp said as Conis and Pagaya became nervous.
"Father, do you think she's okay?" Conis asked.
"I have my concerns." Pagaya said.
"Something wrong?" Arlong asked.
"Here in Skypiea, there is one place that no one is allowed to go under any circumstances." Conis explained. "That place is right next to this island and can easily be accessed by Waver."
"Why can't you go there?" Elizabeth asked.
"It's sacred ground." Conis said.
"Sacred ground?" Robin repeated, earning a nod from Conis.
"The Land Where God Resides, Upper Yard." Conis explained.
"God? As in, THE God?!" Chopper asked.
"The one that people pray to and all that?" Gin said.
"Yes." Conis said. "Because Skypiea is God's land, it is ruled by the almighty God, Enel. He knows and hears everything."
"Even what we're saying and doing right now?" Chopper asked.
"God, huh?" Zoro said.
"You don't believe in God, Zoro?" Chopper asked.
"I don't really care if he exists or not." Zoro said. "And I'm not gonna stand in the way of someone else's beliefs."
"Have you seen him?" Nojiko asked Conis. "This God Enel that lives on Upper Yard?"
"N-No I haven't." Conis said as she waved her hands. "We are not allowed to set foot on Upper Yard. Ever. It is forbidden to set foot upon the sacred ground.
With Nami
Nami was standing in the Waver a good distance away from Upper Yard, looking up at the tall trees. She then heard voices coming from nearby and began to investigate, only to find a battered ship floating in the clouds. She jumped when she heard the voices again, only this time they were coming out of a Tone Dial on board. She played it again and discovered that a group of people were looking for treasure before they began screaming as the sound of an explosion could be heard in the background, and the name God being said.
"They were killed...by God?" Nami asked before she heard some noise coming from the trees. She followed the sound on the Waver before coming to the sight of four men and two animals surrounding another man. She didn't have time to wonder about it as she heard the cocking of a weapon coming from behind her. She turned just in time to see the gorilla from before shoot at the men on the island. She looked at the smoke as the man that was being surrounded stumbled out of the smoke and saw her.
"P-Please! Let me on!" He begged. "I came from another Sky Island seeking treasure, but now I gotta get out of here!"
"I don't think this is big enough for both of us." Nami said quickly.
"Then I'll take it from you!" He said as he began pulling out a dagger. Suddenly, a bright light surrounded him as he stared at the sky. "...God." Shortly after that, the man and the piece of island he was on were obliterated by a massive beam that came from the sky.
"What's going on?!" Nami yelled as she sailed away behind the rocks. She tried to wrap her mind around what just happened before she heard the men on land talking.
"Who was that guy talking to?"
"Just a guerilla. He's gone now."
"Why would God Enel interfere? It doesn't benefit us."
"We ran out of time. Another set of illegal entrants have landed on Skypiea. Amazon from Heaven's Gate has sent word that a group of 20 Blue Sea Dwellers have arrived."
'20 illegal Blue Sea Dwellers?!' Nami thought. 'Is he talking about us? Then those men on the boat, and that man from earlier were all killed? I gotta warn the others!' With that in mind, she sped off towards Angel Beach.
Back with the others
Luffy was dead set on going to Upper Yard, not only because they said it was dangerous, but because he was the devil and wanted to see if there really is a god.
"So, what's the punishment for setting foot on Upper Yard?" Robin asked.
"W-Well." Conis answered grimly.
"Well?" Zoro said as they all looked at her.
"I'm afraid the punishment is death." Pagaya answered.
"D-Death?" Nojiko stuttered as Sanji's cigarette fell from his mouth.
"NAMI-SWAN!" Sanji yelled on the balcony in panic.
"She's fine." Luffy said. Everyone looked at him as he stared out the window. "I can sense her. She's a bit far, but she's coming back."
"Really? That's good." Nojiko sighed.
"How...do you know that?" Conis asked.
"Haki." Luffy answered as he put his hand to his ear. "I can hear her from here, though it's faint since she's far away."
"You can hear her?" Conis said in astonishment. "But, how?"
"Such an ability like that has only ever been used by the Priests of Upper Yard and God Enel himself!" Pagaya said.
"Priests?" Kuro asked.
"They are the Priests under the rule of almighty God Enel. They watch over Upper Yard." Conis said. "Each of them are very powerful fighters."
"Strong fighters, huh?" Zoro said with a smirk.
"Oh no! Not you too!" Usopp yelled. "Did you not hear their warnings from earlier?!"
"Anyway, let's get to the shore and wait for Nami-san!" Sanji said. "Luffy! Leave the food alone!"
"Gotta eat this first." Luffy said through bites.
"I truly hope that Nami didn't set foot on Upper Yard." Conis said. "Otherwise, she may invoke God Enel's wrath."
"We'll worry about that later." Zoro said as everyone began walking towards the beach, some of them having to drag Luffy away from the food. A few moments later, everyone was now waiting for Nami to return on the Waver she borrowed.
"Too bad that Waver we found is busted." Vivi said.
"You all have a Waver?" Pagaya asked.
"Yeah, but it's broken. We found it at the bottom of our sea." Usopp explained.
"Would you mind if I took a look at it?" he asked. "If it's not too bad, I may be able to fix it."
"You can?" Elizabeth asked.
"I am a Dial ship engineer." He said.
"Okay then. Please fix it for us." Nojiko asked. After that, everyone went about their business doing whatever it is they wished to do.
"Look Usopp! I'm done!" Chopper yelled after finishing his tiny Cloudman.
"I'm done too!" Usopp yelled after finishing his work, which was of the crew worshiping King Cloud Usopp. "Behold, my beautiful masterpiece!"
"THIS IS NOT BEAUTIFUL!" Sanji yelled as he kicked Usopp in the face before kicking all but the cloud women into the ground, making Usopp cry. Just then, the sound of marching footsteps could be heard and everyone looked to see a group of men dressed the same walking towards the beach.
"Unknown vessel, halt!" Shouted the leader. Everyone was watching before some of them stared with gaping jaws as the group of men began crawling along the beach towards them for some reason.
"Are they right in the head or something?" Arlong asked.
"Dunno. Might be some weird perverts." Usopp said.
"So that's what a pervert looks like?" Chopper asked innocently.
"Either way, they're coming this way." Nojiko said.
"TROOPS, HALT!" Shouted the leader as they were a few feet away from the Straw Hats as everyone gathered around on the beach. The men then stood up straight at attention with their hands behind their backs before lifting their left hands behind their heads and sticking their thumbs, index, and pinky fingers out. "HESO!" They all said.
"Heso." Conis greeted.
"Heso. Good day." Pagaya greeted.
"Heso again?" Gin mumbled.
"You 20 are the illegal entrants from the Blue Sea, correct?" Shouted the leader, Captain McKinley. "PREPARE TO RECEIVE HEAVEN'S JUDGEMENT!"
Luffy and his crew, minus Nami, were on the shore with Conis and Pagaya with Captain McKinley of the White Berets accusing them of illegally entering Skypiea.
"Illegal entrants?!" Pagaya gasped as he and Conis looked shocked.
"What's he talking about?" Jones asked.
"Do not deny your crime!" McKinley yelled as he pulled out their pictures, announcing that the Heaven's Gate lookout, Amazon, informed them about their illegal entry and sent them pictures with her Vision Dial.
"That can't be! These are not bad people, Captain McKinley!" Pagaya said.
"Why are they calling us illegal entrants?" Sanji asked.
"He must be talking about the 1,000,000,000 Extol entrance fee that we didn't pay." Robin said.
"That old woman said we could enter without paying it." Usopp said.
"She did say that!" Chopper yelled as a few of them nodded.
"It is pointless to make excuses. Just admit your guilt." McKinley said. "There's no cause for alarm though. Illegal entry is a minor Class-11 crime punishable by Heaven's Judgement. After receiving your punishment, you'll be acknowledged as tourists."
"Should've said that in the first place. So, what's this punishment?" Sanji asked.
"Simple. Pay 10 times the entrance fee. So, for 20 people will come to the total of 200,000,000,000 Extols." McKinley said.
"200- How much is that in berries?!" Usopp asked.
"Berries. The currency of the Blue Sea. 10,000 extols equal to 1 berri." McKinley explained.
"10,000 huh?" Usopp said before he began muttering and counting on his fingers. "How much is that?" He asked Robin.
"20,000,000 berries." She said.
"THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE!" Sanji shouted as a few of their jaws dropped. "WE NEARLY GET KILLED GETTING UP HERE, AND YOU WANNA MAKE US PAY THAT KIND OF FEE JUST TO ENTER?!"
"You should've just payed the original price of 2,000,000 berries." McKinley said.
"THAT'S STILL TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE!" Sanji shouted.
"I will warn you. We White Berets act under direct orders from the Priests. Failure to pay will increase your-" McKinley stopped talking when the others stopped listening.
"What do we do?" Gin asked.
"That old hag said we can go without paying." Johnny said.
"Now we're here, and we're being slapped with charges on the spot." Yosaku added.
"Also, Nami-san still hasn't returned." Sanji added. "Even if Luffy says she's coming back now, I'm still worried. She could be crying her eyes out somewhere at this very moment."
"Should we just pay them the fee? We have enough." Anna said.
"Not a good idea." Nojiko said.
"Why not? We got 6,000,000,000 berries in the ship. That fine is expensive, but we can pay it." Gin said.
"Have you forgotten who's in charge of the money?" Nojiko asked. "If you use that kind of money without consulting Nami, you know what she'll do, right?" A mixture of blue faces, sweating, and nervous laughter could be heard from most of the Straw Hats as they let that thought sink in while McKinley angrily stared at them. "So, we wait here for her to return and discuss it with her. Alright?"
"Alright." Said everyone else before Nojiko turned to McKinley.
"What were you all discussing?" McKinley demanded. "Also, if one of the illegal entrants cannot be found, they'll be marked as an escaped criminal."
"Well, the good news is that we have the money to pay." Nojiko said. "The bad news is that the one who's in charge is out taking a walk." Nojiko lied. "She'll be back soon. Can you wait for a little bit?" McKinley scowled at them before grunting.
"Very well, but I'm keeping an eye on all of you!" He said.
"Thank you." Nojiko said before turning to her friends. "Okay guys, everyone relax until Nami returns."
"Yes, Nojiko-San!" Sanji said in Love Mode as everyone else scattered. Sanji invited Robin for some tea, Nojiko kept watch for Nami, Gin began drinking juice from the weird fruit, Usopp and Chopper went fishing, Zoro, Johnny, and Yosaku began napping under trees, Elizabeth began to paint, Anna and Vivi went to try and make a new kind of confection, and Carue ran around for no reason while Luffy asked Pagaya to please fix the waver they brought.
"This waver looks like a wreck." McKinley stated. "If I find out it was damaged by you, then you'll be charged with damaging property of Skypiea, which is a Class-10 Crime."
"No, this is actually theirs." Pagaya said.
"Yeah. It's ours." Luffy said.
"Really?" McKinley said as he checked out the Waver. "Wavers should not exist on the Blue Sea. If I find out this was stolen, that'll be a Class-"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP WITH ALL THESE DUMBASS CRIMES?!" Luffy snapped.
"Dumbass crimes?" McKinley said before Usopp dragged Luffy away.
"He said nothing!" Usopp yelled before he forced Luffy to make him fish with himself and Chopper. While fishing, Usopp got a bite and was now struggling to pull the fish in. He managed to succeed when Luffy and Chopper helped, but the line snapped while the enormous fish came flying out of the water and right at Conis. She screamed while Zoro suddenly woke up, unsheated his blade, and knocked the fish away with the back of the blade. The three fishing Straw Hats and Zoro looked at the fish while Pagaya thanked Zoro for saving Conis before both he and Conis looked worriedly at the fish.
"Well now, what have we here?" McKinley asked with a smirk. "This is a very rare fish. It's capture is prohibited. This is a Class-9 Crime!"
"HEY! WHAT ABOUT CONIS?! SHE NEARLY GOT EATEN BY THAT THING?!" Chopper yelled. McKinley only smirked as Usopp tried to get the fish back into the water.
"One bullshit crime after another!" Zoro growled as he reached for his sword.
"What's going on out here?" Everyone turned to see Vivi and Anna walking towards them. "Something happening?" Vivi asked.
"These guys are being a bunch of assholes!" Chopper yelled.
"SHHH! Don't say that!" Usopp whispered.
"Why not? We can't so much as twitch a finger without them charging us with some stupid crime!" Chopper yelled.
"Is that true?" Vivi asked while glaring at McKinley.
"Ack! No! Wait!" Usopp yelled, recognizing that look as the one she had back at Ruluka. "If we can't do anything without being punished with a crime, then we'll just take a nap. Goodnight." Usopp said as he and some of the Straw Hats fell asleep on the beach. Anna and Vivi stared alongside Conis and Pagaya, who both had sweatdrops on their heads as they stared at the snoring Straw Hats.
"How dare you make such a noise on the serene Angel Beach." McKinley growled. Some of the Straw Hats peeked at him as he announced, "You are all guilty of noise pollution, a Class-6 Crime!"
"WE'RE GETTING PUNISHED FOR SNORING?!" Some of them yelled.
"That's it!" Luffy yelled unsheathing his summoned Nodachi. "I'm gonna kick this guy's ass!"
"Count me in!" Zoro said.
"Us too!" Johnny and Yosaku yelled as Gin finished his drink and went for his tonfa, with Arlong, Jones, and Kuro getting their respected weapons.
"Wait!" Usopp yelled before looking at Nojiko. "Hey, you seen Nami anywhere Nojiko?"
"Hmm." She said before smiling. "There!" Everyone turned to see Nami as a speck in the distance coming closer on the Waver. "Perfect timing."
"Indeed. All this yelling is really bothering me." Anna said as everyone gathered around Nojiko.
"AH! NAMI-SWAN~! YOU'RE SAFE!" Sanji yelled with hearts in his eyes.
"Luffy! Don't do anything stupid!" Nami yelled.
"Tell it to these guys!" Luffy growled back in anger while pointing at McKinley.
"NAMI! TRY TO KEEP CALM, BUT WE NEED TO PAY A FINE OF 20,000,000 BERRIES!" Nojiko yelled.
"Good! All we have to do is pay a fine!" Nami said before her eyes darkened. "20,000,000?" She asked herself before speeding up and ramming the Waver in McKinley's face. "WHAT KIND OF FINE IS THAT?!" She screamed before McKinley skid across the beach and smacked into a tree. "Ah!" Nami gasped as she regained herself. "Oh crap! I lost it after hearing that huge sum!"
"Oi." Said most of the male Straw Hats while slapping the air.
"Here's the Waver back." Nami said as she brought the Waver back to Pagaya. "It was really fun."
"It's no trouble." Pagaya said. "But, things right now are very bad for you and your friends."
"You're right." Nami said as McKinley's men gathered around their fallen Captain. Nami turned to everyone and began shouting orders. "Everyone, we're leaving right now!" She said.
"Why?" Luffy asked.
"But we just got here." Elizabeth said.
"And now we're leaving!" Nami ordered.
"What kind of crime did she just commit?" Zoro asked in a bored tone.
"Most likely obstruction of a public servant, a Class-5 Crime!" Pagaya said.
"We keep this up, we'll hit Class-1 in no time." Gin said with a dark chuckle.
"How about we just stay at Class-5 and leave it at that?" Usopp said.
"This is serious!" Conis said. "When one is guilty of a Class-5 Crime, they are sentenced to cloud-drifting."
"Cloud-drifting? What's that?" Jones asked.
"Doesn't sound so bad." Johnny said.
"It's a Death Sentence!" Conis said, shocking a few of them. "Your crew and ship are set adrift on a piece of cloud and float endlessly until everyone on board perishes. It's a slow and painful death!"
"That must be what happened to that ship." Robin said. Everyone turned to her as she explained how it must've happened to the galleon that nearly fell on them earlier 200 years ago.
"HEY, ASSHOLES!" Shouted McKinley's men before one of them shouted, "HOW DARE YOU ATTACK OUR CAPTAIN LIKE THAT!"
"What'd you say?" Sanji growled before Nami stopped him. "Okay, Nami-san~!" He said as Nami approached McKinley's men and began trying to talk them into thinking it was an accident, which only seemed to piss them off even more.
"The Waver really is tricky." She said.
"Um, I'm sorry." Pagaya said. "I think we should treat Captain McKinley as soon as possible."
"CAPTAIN MCKINLEY!" Cried out the White Berets as they all began to freak out hysterically before Pagaya offered his home to let him rest. "Thank you for your cooperation! HESO!" They soon put Captain McKinley on a stretcher and began crawling away while telling the Straw Hats to stay put, with Pagaya walking alongside them.
"They're crawling again." Arlong said.
"Weirdos." Zoro said.
"I know that you're not bad people. So please, hurry back home!" Conis said before running off after her father.
"We should listen to her." Nami said as she turned to them all. "I saw it with my own eyes! An island filled with terrifying people!" Usopp and Chopper turned blue in the face at her words and flinched.
"You went to that forbidden holy place, huh?" Zoro asked.
"Gods or guerillas, I don't care what they are. All I know is that they're nothing but trouble!" Nami said. "Anyway, we're leaving! Right now!"
"After all the shit we did to get up here?" Gin said.
"They can't be that strong." Johnny said.
"Yeah. Besides, we're no pushovers here!" Yosaku added.
"If Nami-san says that we leave, we leave!" Sanji snapped, immediately taking her side.
"Why should we leave, when we can just fight them?" Jones said as he pulled his rifle off his shoulder.
"It's not just us!" Nami snapped. "If we stay here, Conis and her father will be in trouble too!"
"She's got a point. They might be seen as our accomplices." Usopp said. "So, let's go."
"I haven't finished my painting." Elizabeth whined as most of them began walking to the ship. The only ones left were Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Gin, Johnny, Yosaku, and Anna.
"Come on, Luffy! Let's go!" Nami said.
"Why are we running away?" Luffy asked as he stared at the island.
"Because we're in danger." She said.
"Aren't we always in danger?" Luffy asked.
"But it's not just about us." Nami said. "Those two might get arrested if we stay!"
"And if we leave, this whole island is doomed." Luffy said.
"Huh?" Nami asked.
"You saw it, didn't you?" Luffy asked. "A bright beam of light shooting out of the sky." Nami froze as the memory of the man being obliterated by said beam of light flashed through her mind.
"Y-Yeah." She said. "But that's why we have to leave! These guys are not playing around!"
"Hey! What's taking you all so long? Hurry up!" Usopp called from the ship.
"Everyone! Run away!" Conis called.
"They're back!" Nami whispered.
"Enough, young lady. If you try to aid these criminals, you both will receive severe punishment." McKinley warned. "For repeatedly directing abusive language at us, and for obstructing a public servant, the Class-5 criminals are sentenced to cloud-drifting!"
"Looks like things are heating up." Gin said.
"ARREST THEM!" McKinley ordered as his men got into formation and drew out bows and arrows.
"Anyone wanna join in?" Luffy asked.
"I'm out!" Nami said as she ran towards the ship.
"More for us then." Arlong said as he and the others joined Luffy.
"Please run! You cannot fight them!" Conis pleaded.
"FIRE! MILKY ARROW!" McKinley shouted, signaling the White Berets to begin shooting arrows that left long, light purple streams behind them. Everyone began evading, before Luffy jumped on top of the cloud. "GO! WHITE BERETS!" McKinley ordered as the White Berets began skating on the clouds with skate type wavers on their feet. They skated by as Luffy jumped up before turning to face all of them.
"Don't hog the fun Brother Luffy!" Johnny said as he and the others jumped onto the other cloud streams.
"Save some for us." Yosaku said as both sides brought out their weapons. The White Berets were looking at Luffy and his crew with smirks on their faces.
"Get them!" One of the White Berets yelled as they charged. Luffy and his crew all grinned before running towards them, though it was a little hard to run on the clouds. Soon, both sides were running and jumping around on the clouds in battle.
"It's useless to try and escape from us." McKinley said.
'Can't use my full strength.' Sanji thought as he ran towards one of them, who was smirking. 'But,' He thought as he jumped up and used the guy's head to launch off and kick another in the head. 'I can use their heads to help me out.'
Johnny and Yosaku tag teamed a couple of them, jumping around and switching opponents to confuse them before taking them down.
Zoro didn't even have to move as the White Berets came in close. When they got within range, he slashed them and that was it.
Gin had charged at his opponent before knocking one of them into another one, sending both men flying. "Next."
"It's over!" Shouted a White Beret as he slashed at Jones. He didn't even try to run as his blade was blocked by a sword. "Huh?" He said before he began to wildly slash at him, but was blocked every time. Jones blocked and knocked the man's sword away and grabbed him. "What are you doing?"
"Do you fear death?" Jones asked as his tentacles started to slither towards the mans face. One of Jones's tentacles found the man's nose and slithered in and came out of the mans' mouth with him pleading for to stop. Soon the man started to turn blue from suffocating and his body soon went limp. Jones retracted his tentacle and letting the dead man drop to the ground.
Arlong was using his castanets on a few of the White Berets that came in his direction. Kuro was using his cat claws to cut deep cuts into some others.
"What are you doing?!" McKinley shouted. "Blue Sea Dwellers shouldn't be able to fight up here! Arrest them!"
"Shut up!" Luffy yelled before he vanished and reappeared and punched McKinley away. Conis and Pagaya just stared in stunned disbelief as the White Berets were easily thrashed by Luffy and his crew.
"Th...They're really strong!" Conis said.
"Well, that was boring." Gin said.
"These guys didn't even put up a decent fight." Zoro said.
"Just as I planned." Usopp said from the ship.
"Really?" Chopper asked in shock before McKinley's laugh could be heard.
"You are all fools! There's no turning back now!" He said. "You should've just listened to my orders. The White Berets are the most gentle and understanding of all the gaurdians in Godland. But they...will not be so forgiving. You are now Class-2 criminals! You can beg and plead all you want, but it won't matter. THE PRIESTS OF UPPER YARD SHALL NOW BE THE ONES WHO BESTOW JUDGEMENT UPON YOU! HESO!"
