Recovery

After Enel was beaten, the Skypieans landed on the shores of Shandia, and began getting everyone unloaded.

Back at the beanstalk base, Aisa looked towards the forest and saw a familiar face had survived. "Aisa, were you worried about you treasure?"Laki asked as she held up the bag of earth that was Aisa`s treasure.

"That`s not important, you silly," Aisa said as she began to cry. "LAKI!" she cried out as she hugged Laki. The other Shandian warriors began to wake up as well, all still alive from the survival game.

"Worry about me later," Zoro said trying to brush off Chopper.

"No, I have to heal you right now!" Chopper said, his doctor instincts taking over.

"It`s not me you should be healing," Zoro said turning his head.

"Oi, Chopper, can you come over here?" Kakusei said kneeling over Wiper. "Wiper seems pretty beat up."

"Beat up seems to be an understatement," Chopper said as he examined Wiper. "Every bone in his body is broken!"

"So why are we helping one of the raiders?" Sanji asked as he walked up.

"I don`t quite understand his situation, but he`s an honorable warrior," Zoro said calmly.

"Trust me," Kakusei said standing up. "If any of us had been in his place, we probably would have done the same thing."

"Do you guys pity him?" Sanji asked.

"Can you fix him," Aisa asked, "Tanuki-chan?"

"I`M A REINDEER!" Chopper exclaimed. "SEE, I HAVE ANTLERS! But yeah, he`ll be fine."

"So... is Nami-san okay...? Well, Luffy's with her, so I guess she'll be all right…" Sanji said to himself. "I'm worried about Conis-chan, too... Where could she be...? So what happened with that golden bell?"

"It probably fell down," Usopp said sitting down on a rock.

"It`s too bad we couldn`t steal the gold from Enel`s ship," Sanji commented, "and the golden city is all but empty now."

"So we`re stuck being penniless pirates then, huh?" Zoro commented.

"I want one of those Dials though," Usopp said, "You can`t find those in the Blue Seas."

"I really is amazing, isn`t it?" Kakusei said as he walked up to Robin and sat down next to her.

"What is?" Robin asked, wanting to hear Kakusei`s answer.

"This island, the city, the fact we`re basically sitting on a cloud," Kakusei said with a dreaming look on his face, "everything is just so amazing, and not just that. Being a part of the crew with all of your guys is one of the things I always felt like I wanted to, no should be doing. It`s like a dream. Nothing like this was at all possible back in my world. This is the stuff of fantasies and imagination. For me, this is a living dream, and I never want to wake up."

"That really paints a picture," Robin said looking at Kakusei with her smile still on her face.

"Oh, that reminds me," Kakusei said as he got up quickly. "I have to do something for Wiper, after I get Luffy and Nami down."

"What is it?" Robin asked as Kakusei ran off in a random direction.

"That`s a surprise," Kakusei said giving Robin a brief wink as he ran off.

"Is it really okay to leave Wiper with those people from the Blue Sea?" Kamakiri asked Laki.

"It`ll be fine," Laki replied. "Aisa trusts them, and we should too."

"All right, we`ve got something else to take care of," Kamakiri said as they walked away. "Gather up everyone who can still move, and we`ll banish the head priests to a desert cloud. Without Enel around, they`re just a bunch of thugs."

-X-

"Pierre, you should go rest with the Blue Sea residents," Gan Fall said to Pierre, both walking away from the battle site.

"Pyah, pyah!" was all Pierre said in response.

-X-

"Hey!" Luffy and Kakusei yelled towards Sanji and Usopp.

"Aaaaaah~~~~~!" Sanji swooned as he saw the "lights of his life", and two guys, coming towards him. "Nami-swan! Conis-chan! Luffy, Kakusei!"

"I'm so glad... you're all safe!" Conis said crying. "I was so worried... but I couldn't do anything about it..."

"Conis-chan, you were worried about me?" Sanji said doing his noodle-leg dance and having hearts pop out of his visible eye.

"Not just you," Usopp said being blunt.

"Is that food?" Zoro asked looking at the huge bag we carried with us. "Where`d you get it?"

"Luffy, Nami!" Aisa said happily.

"We found the priest`s storage shed in the forest on the way here," Nami said in response.

"There`s still a bunch left," Luffy said with a cooked fish in his mouth.

"There`s enough to feed the entire island, I think," Kakusei said.

"How did you get down from up there?" Usopp asked.

"I can teleport, remember?" Kakusei said holding up his right arm.

"Hey, Conis, where`s your father?" Zoro asked.

"He… he… tried to protect me," Conis said shakily, "… and Enel…"

"You mean…" Chopper said.

"Conis-chan…," Sanji said slowly.

"Conis-chan…," Pagaya said slowly.

"Conis…," Luffy said slowly.

"Hey, wait a minute…" Kakusei said looking at Pagaya.

"YOU SOUND LIKE YOU AREN`T THE ONE WHO DIED!" Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, Zoro, and Kakusei all yelled at Pagaya while pointing at him with their right pointer fingers.

"I`m sorry!" Pagaya said shocked. "I am still alive!"

"You fell to the White Sea below?" we all said asking Pagaya.

"Yes, sorry," Pagaya said apologizing again.

"Father!" Conis said hugging her father and crying.

"When I awoke, I had been knocked down there. And I just got back up..." Pagaya explained. "The other people who had gone to the lower levels, heading towards Clouds' End, were using Milky Dials from the White White Sea to return back here... But since Angel Island has been destroyed in its entirety, they're all heading here, to Upperyard."

-X-

"GOD!" a battered-looking Skypiean said as Gan Fall walked towards him.

"I am not called that, anymore..." said Gan Fall hanging his head low. "I'm glad to see you're alive. Don't open your mouth... I'm very glad... You've spent six years like this... forgive me! It's all over, now...! You can return to your families!"

"But, God, I saw it! Angel Island is destroyed! Our home is gone!" the Skypiean said. "And the Shandians have no home as well! Is the war really over?"

"Chief... 400 years of bloodshed... might not be that easy to overcome..." said a Shandian warrior to the Shandian chief. "Even though the High Priests are gone..."

-X-

"God shall never be defeated!" Enel said as the Maxim flew off in the night in defeat. "I shall return one day. It is time to return... to "God's" true place... cough... Nothing in the sky... can be allowed to block my view... Hahh... You were nothing more than an impediment... Yahahaha... no one else can have it... it's all mine... Hahh... The dream world, the endless Vearth...! LET'S GO, 'MAXIM.' TO THE WORLD OF GOD THAT FLOATS IN THE NIGHT SKY... THE 'FAIRY VEARTH'!" Enel drove the Maxim to his intended location, the moon.

-X-

"I`m so full," Usopp said patting his stomach.

"Hey, anyone seen Kakusei?" Chopper asked. "He missed dinner."

"I think he was on the ship last I saw him," Sanji replied. "He was working on something like a madman."

"It`s nighttime now," Zoro said bluntly.

"What should we do?" Nami asked everyone present. "Go back to the ship?"

"Nami! How can you say that?" Luffy said loudly.

"Huh?" Nami said confused.

"Usopp, how could she say that?" Luffy asked Usopp.

"She is inhuman!" Usopp replied.

"What are you talking about?" Nami replied angrily.

-X-

"Where am I?" Wiper asked waking up.

"In the ruins of Shandia," Gan Fall explained.

"Gan Fall!" Wiper exclaimed. "And you are from Skypiea!"

Conis grabbed Wiper trying to hold him down. "No you can`t move yet!" she said as she tried to hold him down.

"Don`t push yourself. You need your wounds to heal," the Shandian chief told Wiper. "Despite our long battle for whatever reasons that occurred hundreds of years ago... For all of us alive today, the sky is our homeland..."

"Chief!" Wiper exclaimed.

"Listen to me, Wiper... The Vearth does not reject any man," the Chief said.

"…that is right," Gan Fall said. "And right now, not a single person…"

"…wishes to fight," the Chief said as Wiper looked on at all the citizens of Skypiea, Shandian and Angel.

"PAAAARTY!" Luffy said as a bonfire ignited and most everyone began dancing around a bonfire.

"Well, I guess I can take a break for a little while," Kakusei said as he walked up to the party. "I need to grab some food, I skipped dinner."

-X-

Three Days Later…

-X-

Kakusei stepped out to the fire again, and sat down next to Robin with a mug of grog in his hand. "So where have you been?" Robin asked. "You haven`t been around much."

"I would have been here sooner," Kakusei replied, "but the hangover I had from yesterday delayed my project a little." Kakusei took a swig of his grog.

"That`s right," Robin said. "You did seem to go a little overboard last night drinking."

"What possessed me to challenge Zoro to a drinking contest is beyond me," Kakusei said laughing. "I did learn two things yesterday though."

"What are they?" Robin asked.

"That I have a low alcoholic tolerance, and I seem to be able to recall the manga better when I`m drunk," Kakusei said looking at Robin with a smile on his face.

"Your morals also seem to drop a little when you get drunk as well," Robin said with her normal smile on her face.

"Really? So what happened last night?" Kakusei asked. "I blacked out after about ten or fifteen mugs of grog."

-X-

Last Night

-X-

"Come on Kakusei," Usopp said cheering him on, "one more and you`ll have matched Zoro!"

Kakusei took one last gulp of his grog, and shakily tried to flip him mug onto the table, all the while the crowd was cheering him on, saying, "Drink, drink, drink, drink!" However, Kakusei passed out and his mug missed the table, though his face didn`t.

"One, two three four, five, six," Usopp said beginning to count, "seven, eight, nine, TEN! Kakusei is unconscious! Zoro wins!" he said as he held up Zoro`s arm in the air as the crowd began to cheer. Kakusei woke up with a drunken haze in his eyes.

"Hey, no hard feelings," Zoro said holding his hand out in fellowship to Kakusei. "Most people can`t hold thirty mugs of grog like that."

Kakusei stood up shakily, and stumbled a bit as he walked towards Zoro. "Sure," he said slurring his words a bit. Then out of nowhere, he punched Zoro right in the face, shocking everyone in sight, but Zoro more than anyone else as he stumbled back a bit in surprise. "No hard feelings," Kakusei said as he took a stance that looked like he was holding two cups of sake in his hands.

-X-

"REALLY?" Kakusei said shocked. "I punched Zoro?"

"Yes, you did," Robin said smiling at the memories.

-X-

"Bring it," Kakusei said slurring his words. Then he swung his arm in a loose fashion and broke the table he and Zoro were having their drinking contest on in two.

"Crap, he`s fighting while drunk!" Zoro said surprised.

"Sanji, Luffy, get over here!" Usopp said running to get Sanji and Luffy. "Kakusei`s gone crazy!"

"Dammit!" Sanji said running towards where Kakusei and Zoro were. "Luffy, Marimo, we gotta hold him down before he hurts someone!" Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji grabbed Kakusei and were trying their best to not hurt him as they held him down.

"So why`s he trying to break stuff?" Luffy said while he had his rubbery arms wrapped around Kakusei`s neck and legs.

"I think Kakusei can use a fighting style called 'Drunken Fist'," Sanji said as he held down one of Kakusei`s arms. "I heard some travelers talking about it when I worked on the Baratie. They say that it is one of the most difficult fighting styles to master due to the flexibility needed and the unpredictability used in the attacks. I`ve also heard that some people are naturals at it, but only when drunk."

"So he`s gonna get like this every time he gets drunk?" Zoro said calmly holding down Kakusei`s other arm.

"Let`s hope not," Sanji said imagining what Kakusei would do at sea.

"Hey guys," Luffy said interjecting into the conversation.

"What?" Sanji and Zoro asked at the same time.

"Kakusei`s gone," Luffy said calmly as Sanji and Zoro realized Kakusei had somehow slipped out of their grasp while Sanji was talking.

"We need to spice this up," Kakusei said still in his drunken slur. "This is a PARTY! We need to get WILD!" He ran towards Conis, Laki, and Nami and in one fell swoop, grabbed all their shirts and tore off the fronts with a RRRRIIIIP!

"WAH!" Conis said covering herself.

"What the…?" Laki said covering herself as well. Apparently, Skypeians and Shandians knew nothing of bras.

"Dammit, Kakusei!" Nami said getting angry and after a split second, she covered her bra.

-X-

Kakusei spit out and coughed on the grog he was drinking. "I DID WHAT?" Kakusei yelled trying to imagine that picture. "I`m guessing Nami was pretty mad, right?"

"So was Cook-san, but he was pretty happy at with you at first," Robin replied giggling.

-X-

"Oh, Nami-swan and Conis-chan look even lovelier that they normally do!" Sanji said with hearts in his eyes, his legs turning to noodles, and a nosebleed starting. "However," he said as he snapped back to normal, "this injustice against Nami-swan shall not go unpunished!" His eyes lit on fire as his anger ignited.

"Kakusei…" Nami said slowly and with anger rising in her voice.

"Eh?" Kakusei said turning around still drunk.

"You JERK!" Sanji and Nami said as Sanji kicked one side of Kakusei`s face while Nami punched the other. Kakusei dropped like a rock to the ground, seemingly unconscious.

"What the hell`s going on?" Wiper asked as he walked up to the fire. "Some of us are trying to sleep." And then he saw Laki`s shirt had a big hole in it. "Alright, who the HELL DID THIS?" he asked angrily.

"He did," everyone said pointing at Kakusei as he lay on the ground.

"Whas goin` on?" Kakusei said sitting up and looking around, still in a drunken haze. "Oh, hey Wiper what`s up?"

"What the hell, you little pervert?" Wiper asked. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Kakusei spun around on his back and jumped to his feet. "I need to go and… and finish mah project," was all he said as he stumbled his way back to the Going Merry.

Everyone just sat in silence as Kakusei walked away. A minute of awkward silence went by before finally, someone broke the silence. "Ha, haha, hahahahahahaha!" Luffy laughed thinking back on the situation. That started everyone else laughing except for the calmest or the most serious. Even Wiper and Zoro were laughing at what Kakusei just did in his drunken haze.

-X-

"That must have been when I worked on my project," Kakusei said looking at the night sky. "Cause when I woke up, a lot more progress had been made."

"By the way, what was that project you were working on?" Robin asked inquisitively. "I take it you finished it."

"I did," Kakusei said with a huge grin plastered on his face. "It was something I drew up for Wiper and all the residents of Shandia and Skypiea."

"What did you draw?" Robin asked.

Drawing Up a Re-Write

-X-

"Wiper-san, you`re up," Conis said as Wiper sat up. "Kakusei-kun left something for you."

"What did that pervert leave?" Wiper asked looking at Conis.

"This," Conis said handing Wiper a small book. "He said he wanted you to read this first, and then share it with everyone else."

"Wonder what this is?" Wiper asked aloud as he opened the book. "Wha… how did he…?" was all he said as he stared at the first pages of the book.

"What is it Wiper?" the Shandia Chief asked realizing Wiper was up.

Wiper began to quickly flip through the book, reading it all the while with great intent. "This… is… impossible…" Wiper began to cry, and held the book away from his face so as not to get his tears on the pages.

"Wiper?" the Chief asked again.

"He… he… documented our home`s history," Wiper said tears streaming down his face. "It`s all here, the great Calgara, Monblanc Norland, the bell, EVERYTHING!"

"WHAT?" the chief exclaimed as Wiper handed him the book. He was right; it was all in the book. How Calagra, the strongest Warrior the Shandians ever knew, held off any invaders, how the villagers were dying from a curse, how Norland landed on the beach and found that the curse was a disease called Tree-Rush, how Norland killed the "God" the Shandians thought had caused the disease (a giant snake similar to the one on Skypiea now), and how Norland risked his life for his crew and cured the Shandians, even after being trapped between two pieces of land that had been forced together by an earthquake, nearly killing him. Norland and Calgara`s friendship after the event was also there, how Norland`s crew stayed on the island for a while, but then were banished for cutting down sacred trees, which had caused the Tree-Rush, and how, as Norland`s crew was leaving, Calagara`s daughter told her tribe the truth, causing Calagara to run after his friend to apologize, and how the Shandians rang the golden bell, that day and every day after that to say to Norland and his crew, "Come back soon. You are always welcome here." Even the day the Knock-Up Stream shot Shandia into the sky while they rang the golden bell, causing the Skypieans to think that the island was a gift from God, and how the current God greedily wanted the land for himself, causing the 400-year war. "This… this is… a miracle!" the chief exclaimed. "How did he do this?"

"Does it matter now?" Wiper said crying. "Now our history shall forever be preserved."

"So this is the level his world`s knowledge has acquired?" Gan Fall said in amazement as he looked through the book after the Shandian Chief handed it to him. "He truly seems to be a gift sent by a real god."

-X-

"So you re-wrote the manga?" Robin said in surprise. "I guess that answers why you said you can recall the manga better drunk."

"Yeah, but it was only three chapters," Kakusei said modestly. "It was a challenge to recreate Oda`s drawing style, but I did it. I was also able to make a copy for the Saruyama Alliance."

"That was very sweet of you," Robin replied. "Their history is very important to them, and I`m sure Cricket-san will appreciate knowing the real story."

"I know," Kakusei said. "You know, that reminds me of a saying back in my world."

"What is it?" Robin asked.

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it," Kakusei replied in a very scholarly tone. "And I know this saying has been proven true time and time again."

"That is a very wise saying," Robin said in response. "So why aren`t you out there dancing with everyone else right now?"

"Truth be told," Kakusei replied sheepishly and holding his free hand behind his head, "I`m not much of a dancer. When it comes to formal dancing and parties, I`m kind of a background person, and I don`t really know how to dance anyway."

"I could teach you," Robin replied calmly. "Call it a thank you for teaching me so much about your world."

"Well, um," Kakusei said blushing a little, "wouldn`t it look awkward if we were standing next to each other and practicing dance steps?" At that second, the music changed tempo into a slower song.

"Well, that solves that," Robin replied indicating the change in music, "I can teach you to waltz, and be your partner for it as well," she said as people began to pair up. Kakusei flushed a bright red immediately.

"Um, okay," Kakusei said slowly standing up and walking over to the fire stiffly, still bright red all the while.

"Aren`t you forgetting something?" Robin said still sitting down as Kakusei turned around.

"I forgot something?" Kakusei said, his face returning to normal.

"Aren`t you going to do this properly?" Robin asked. Kakusei immediately realized what Robin wanted him to do, and his face flushed back to a bright red.

"Oh, right," Kakusei said correcting himself, and standing with his hands at his sides almost like a soldier. "Um, Robin, would… would you like to dance with me?" he stuttered while keeping his eyes away from Robin the entire time.

"Yes, I would," Robin replied calmly as Kakusei offered his hand to help her up. She grabbed his hand and he helped her up like a gentleman, and walked her by the hand over to the fire where all the other couples were dancing. "Now stand in front of me so we can look at each other," Robin instructed.

"Okay," Kakusei said a little calmer now. "Now what?"

"Now you take my hand like this," Robin said as she grabbed his hand and held it out, "And then you put your other hand on my back, and I put my hand on your shoulder." Kakusei did as he was told, still blushing a little.

"Would you mind leading for a little bit?" Kakusei asked. "I don`t know the steps, but once I get the hang of it, I`ll try to lead."

"Sure," Robin said smiling. "Just relax and follow my lead." She began to show him the steps slowly, and eventually they were dancing, with Robin leading.

The Crew`s Point of View

-X-

"Hey, has anyone seen Kakusei?" Nami asked aloud. "I wanted to talk to him about last night. He owes me for the show."

"No," Zoro replied.

"Haven`t seen him," Sanji said shrugging his shoulders.

"Nope," Chopper and Usopp replied.

"Isn`t that Kakusei over there with Robin?" Luffy pointed out with his mouth full of food.

"WHAT?" the others exclaimed as they saw Kakusei leading Robin by the hand to the bonfire.

"Robin-chwan!" Sanji said with tears running down his eyes.

"I didn` t see that coming," Zoro said calmly smiling a little bit.

"Me neither," Usopp added in.

"Now this I can use," Nami said with Beri signs in her eyes.

"What`s the big deal?" Luffy and Chopper said oblivious. "They`re just dancing."

"Robin-chwan, how could I lose you to a younger man?" Sanji said with tears streaming down his face and crouched in the fetal position.

"Oh, I love this song," Conis said showing up almost out of nowhere. "Sanji-kun, I need a dance partner. Would you like to dance with me?"

"Anything for you, my lovely Conis-chan!" Sanji said immediately perking up, and whisking Conis to the dance floor.

"Wait a minute," Usopp stated. "It looks like Robin is instructing him."

"Hey, you`re right," Nami said noticing the change. "Kakusei also seems a little nervous. He`s even blushing. Do you think that means he like Robin?"

"Who knows?" Zoro said calmly. "If you want to find out so badly, ask him yourself," he said going back to drinking.

"I`ll ask later," Nami said sweetly. "They seem so happy, it`d be a shame to ruin this."

-X-

Light as a Feather

-X-

"Hey, Robin," Kakusei said a little more confidently now.

"Yes?" Robin asked.

"Mind if I lead now?" Kakusei asked. "I think I`ve got the steps down."

"That`s fine," Robin replied as she let Kakusei take the lead.

Kakusei was feeling much more confident and had the steps down. It felt awkward for him to be dancing with Robin, but something was telling him it didn`t matter. For some reason, he felt much happier than he ever had. He was losing himself in the music, and he liked it. The scent of her hair, her deep blue eyes, and her grace on her feet just seemed to make him feel like he was walking on a cloud, not just on an island on a cloud.

Robin felt a little surprised that Kakusei did dance very well, even though he was dancing for the first time. She did have to admit he was a decent dancer, and the music did seem a little romantic. And for some reason, she felt like he was almost sweeping her off her feet.

The Music finally stopped, and everyone started clapping. "Why are they all clapping?" Kakusei asked.

"You did a great job leading me in the waltz," Robin commented. "Maybe they are applauding us for our dancing." Kakusei looked at the ground sheepishly and made a discovery.

"I think I know why they`re clapping," Kakusei said nervously.

"Why?" Robin asked.

"It`s because I`m floating us a foot or two above the ground," Kakusei said causing Robin to look down to the ground. "I guess I really am light on my feet. I`ll set us down," he said as he lowered himself and Robin to the ground. "I think I unconsciously flew us up in the air because I got lost in the music."

"It`s fine," Robin said smiling. "I had a fun time."

"Same here," Kakusei said smiling gently.

All of a sudden, a bunch of the younger girls screamed out "KAKUSEI-SAN! DANCE WITH US!" A crowd of young girls ran towards Kakusei fan-girl style.

"Yipes!" Kakusei said, a sweat drop appearing on his face. He sent a burst of wind to grab a rose from a bouquet that was nearby, and gave it to Robin. "I had a nice time, but I gotta run!" He bolted into the forest as the fan-girls followed him.

"Kakusei," Robin said as she looked at the rose. "You really are an enigma, aren`t you?"

"That lucky bastard," Sanji said somewhat envying him. But he had Conis, so he didn`t care.

"Damn you, Anime Law 39!" Kakusei said in his mind as he ran from the girls chasing him. He tried to weave through the forest, but with no luck, so he decided to just head back to camp.

"Oi," the band leader said as the song died down, "does anyone have a request for a certain song?" Then Kakusei showed up with the crowd of fan-girls behind him, and he ran towards the stage. He did a front flip and landed on the stage, which gave Luffy an idea.

"Hey, Kakusei," Luffy yelled at the stage, "you know a fun song from your home?"

"Hmmm," Kakusei said with a thinking look on his face, "I may have one, but Luffy, I`ll need you, Usopp and Chopper to help me out."

"Sure," Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper said as they climbed up on stage. Kakusei whispered some instructions into their ears, and they replied, "Got it."

"Alright, everyone!" Kakusei said as loud as he could. "This next song was written and performed by a group from my home called the Village People. I hope you all have as much fun with it as I do." Kakusei picked up his guitar and began strumming to the beat of the song, which the band picked up quickly. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper stood behind Kakusei in a line, and when the band had the song down, Kakusei stopped playing, and he, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper began clapping to the beat. And then Kakusei began to sing the lyrics.

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
