Gura Gura Luffy chapter 13 : Skypeia part 1
sticy17 : Glad you like my story and thanks for the support.
megaslayer321a : For Whitebeard his strenght will be explained during Marineford, but yes it will be something along those line but wether it will be natural or because of a Haki Haki no mi I don't know yet. As for the size of the crew expect three to five people to be add before timeskip.
davidteague3950 : Maybe some members will find a fruit during timeskip, but the only thing I can say is that Sanji will never eat Absalom's vanish fruit.
Reaper : I don't know how Ennies Lobby will end up yet but the only thing sure is that there will be some surprises, For the ship it will have the same name and overall design but it will be bigger simply because the straw hats will have more Money for the Franky Family to steal (Thank You Maxim). As for Luffy's pairing if there is any it will be post timeskip with a more mature Luffy.
Lightningblade49 : How Luffy will get the offer is already planned and it will play a role in Water 7 and Ennies Lobby arc. Once this story his over maybe I'll issue a challenge for someone to make an A.U. of my story where Luffy accept the position.
F-ckthesystem125 : Maybe, I honestly didn't think that Robin was to trusting but maybe I did it better here, as for Vivi she may be a badass princess but she is still a sixteen years old girl that just learned she was a bargaining tool between her father and the governement, and that in order for her country to remain as she knows it she would have to leave it.
gamershacked : Thanks I admit I was wrong about that one, but I don't see where I could have switched admiral and commander...
NinjaFang1331 : Thanks.
edboy4926 : Thanks and I don't think the world nobles will be able to survive meeting this Luffy too bad for them...
DoubleM7 : Thanks.
Elpirato : No shipwright from Skypeia, Franky is too awesome for someone to take his place.

Flashback
Previously
As the Fat Guy was about to attack them, the knock-up stream sent the Going Merry up in the sky and destroyed the Fat Guy's raft.
The ship sailed up the knock up stream as they would any other and thanks to the modification done by the Saruyama Alliance, they managed to reach an Imperio Nimbus and a cloud sea.
Now
The straw hats were all amazed by the cloud sea that was in front of them, still the navigator was puzzled as the log pose still pointed up.
Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku wondered about the cloud sea, if they went to swim in it, would they fall from the cloud or not.
The three idiots quickly stripped down to their swimsuit and where about to jump in the clouds when Makino stopped them.
"Wait, No one will be able to catch you should you fall from the cloud, given how high we are you are likely to die once you reach the sea below." stated the bartender.
The three idiots paled at the very thought and Kaya glared at Usopp for even thinking about swimming in that sea.
Muret was watching the cloud sea with a spyglass and saw a ship getting destroyed by a shadowy figure, she then spied the thing seemingly run on the cloud to reach the going Merry, she barely had the time to scream a warning that the man was upon them.
Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku went down easily as the intruder kicked them with his strange shoes that had a blade on them.
"What do you want with us?" asked the remaining fighters looking at the tribal mask wearing intruder.
"Destroy you!" replied the intruder as he took down Sanji.
Zoro and Luffy went down next but they seemed to have been slower than usual, only Alvida remained standing as their foe's strike couldn't touch her thanks to her smooth skin, Sophia was useless in this fight as she didn't want to sink the ship.
Just as the man was going to fire his Bazooka on Alvida as he saw that blunt strikes were useless, a knight riding a bird attacked the tribal mask wearing guy, who ran not wanting to fight the sky knight.
"Who the hell are you?" rudely asked Alvida while Nami seemed to have some kind of anxiety attack as their strongest fighters were taken down one by one.
"I am the Sky Knight!" said the old guy in armor.
"What the hell is going on here?" asked Makino.
"Who was that guy?" asked Nami.
"You how could you be defeated like that?" asked Nojiko to the downed fighters in the corner of her head the blue haired woman thought that Ace wouldn't have been so easily defeated by that mask wearing nutjob.
"We were complete losers on that one." said Sanji feeling worthless as the ladies were angry at him.
"I felt like I was unable to move as fast as I wanted." said Luffy, with the swordsmen nodding along.
Kaya and Lasso were trying to wake Usopp up as the man wasn't up.
"It must be the air, due to how high we are, oxygen is scarce up here." explained Robin.
"Now that you mention it I had trouble breathing." grumbled Zoro.
"You mean that you are Blue sea dwellers?!" asked the old guy in disbelief.
"What do you mean blue sea?" asked Vivi.
"The blue sea dwellers is what we sky habitants call the men living under the clouds." explained the old guy.
"Then yes but who are you?" asked the bartender.
"I am the Knight of the sky, wait you are saying that you climbed all the way from the blue sea?" asked the Sky Knight.
"Yes." said the captain.
"Then it is normal that you have trouble breathing here we are on what we call the white sea at 7 000 meters high, then we have what we call the opal sea at over 10,000 meters high." explained the old guy.
Suddenly the defeated pirates got up feeling much better, except Usopp who was feigning to be hurt so that Kaya would comfort him.
"Now I feel fine." said Luffy as he did some stretching, Zoro, Sanji, Johnny and Yosaku all did like their captain ignoring the knight's shock.
"How about you tell us how that guy could run on the clouds?" asked Muret with Chopper nodding along as he too wanted to know.
"Wait I know that you have a lot of questions for me, but first let's talk about business. You should know that I am a mercenary without god or master and I offer my services in protecting ship like yours from the danger of the white sea. So I offer my help : 5 millions extol for a whistle blow." explained the old guy causing the whole crew to look at him as if he had grow a second head.
"What do you mean gramps?" asked Yosaku.
"Don't argue I won't lower my price, I have taxes to pay after all!" said the Sky mercenary.
"I got it but what do you mean by extols and whistle blow?" asked the cook.
"Wh...What?! Didn't you come by the Highwest mount? You must have passed through an Island or two?" asked the old guy starring in disbelief at the straw hats crew.
"Wait you mean that there was another way to go up here, and that they are more than one Sky Island?!" asked the straw hats navigator, while her sister looked with wide eyes at the very thought of another way to go up in the sky.
"You used that monstrous ascending stream?! You must be very brave." stated the old guy as Makino seemed to whisper profanities against Luffy.
Makino, Nami, Nojiko, Kaya, Sophia and Vivi all surrounded the poor Luffy ready to bash his skull if he said anything wrong.
"Mercy." pleaded the captain as the girls kicked his ass for scaring them so much during the ascension with the Knock up Stream. "So there was another way uh?" said the girls as they beat him up.
"You didn't lose any members of your crew?" asked the old guys in the hope of saving Luffy from an unfair beating.
"No everyone is here." stated Zoro.
"Then you are tremendously lucky, as every other way up here would have caused you to lose one or more crewmembers. The danger of the knock up stream is that either the whole crew make it or none of them." explained the sky mercenary.
Hearing those words the girls stopped beating the poor Luffy who couldn't fight back in fear of hurting his Nakama.
"Anyway, what I call a whistle blow is to blow once in this." said the old guy as he threw a whistle on the ground "I will then come to help you, normally I would charge 5 millions extols for a blow but I gift you one blow for free so use it wisely." then the old guy turned to leave.
"Wait you didn't even tell us your name!" said Nojiko.
"My name is Gan Fall and this is my battle steed Pierre." said Gan Fall pointing Pink and purple dotted birds next to him "Pierre is a bird that ate the Uma Uma no mi, meaning he is a horse with wings."
"A magnificent Pegasus!" said Mary with child like wonder in her eyes only to be disappointed in Pierre's hybrid form.
The whole crew sweatdropped as they gazed at Pierre's hybrid form.
With that Gan Fall and Pierre the Pegasus left the pirates free to sail on this white sea.
Nami and Nojiko sailed the ship to what looked like a waterfall, during the short trip they came across what could only be cloud and surprisingly they could walk on them. Usopp and Kaya had a little walk on them and found them to be quite soft.
When they came near the waterfall, they found themselves before the Heaven's gates with an old angel, Amazon standing before the gates, after taking several pictures of the crew Amazon asked them what they were doing in Skypeia.
"Are you here to start a war? Or for sightseeing? Whether it is for the one or the other doesn't matter you to pay one billion by person to continue your way to the opal sea. It is the Law!" said Amazon. "One billion of extol, how much does that make in berries?" asked Makino.
"And if we don't have that much?" asked Nami nervously.
"Or you could just pass through." added the gatekeeper.
"Then Why do you ask us for a fee?!" asked/yelled Usopp.
"Or you could not pass it is your decision, I am just enquiring about your will." stated the old gatekeeper.
"In that case we will pass without paying old lady." said Luffy happy to go into this adventure on Sky Island while Makino thought that it was too easy.
"I see you are 17 plus 2 animal's right?" asked the old lady.
"Yes but how do we keep going?" asked Nojiko, the pilot worried about having to sail the ship up along the way.
Suddenly the ship was caught between the pincers of a huge lobster.
"This is the speed lobster of the white sea, He will lead your ship to the opal sea." stated the old lady.
And sure enough the lobster propelled itself and the Going Merry up to the Opal Sea, where the straw hats could finally see Skypeia.
After getting close to what could only be a beach, the straw hats landed on this Sky Island after Zoro lowered the anchor.
All the straw hats either rested or fooled around on the beach near the place they anchored their modified ship.
Soon enough a local girl named Conis, her pet a sky fox named Soo came upon them on the beach.
"Esso, You came from the blue sea?" asked the young angel who managed to charm Sanji.
"Yes we came here flying, do you live here?" asked Luffy.
"Yes, How do you want to drink that fruit's juice? It's skin is too hard to break with teeth, it is why we pierce a hole in the back like so." explained Conis as she demonstrated how to open the fruit before handing one to Chopper who happily drank his juice.
Soon a strange noise was heard on the beach, it appeared to be Conis's father Pagaya who returned from fishing with the waver.
Sadly it seemed the man was unable to drive it as he crashed on the beach, after Conis explained how it worked with dials, Nami decided to try it and soon was an expert shocking all but her sister.
Leaving Nami to have fun with this thing, Pagaya and Conis invited the straw hats to eat what Pagaya had fished earlier, sky lobster.
After they climbed up the way to Conis and Pagaya's home, Conis showed them some dials as the sound Dials, Light Dials...
The Straw hats were amazed at the different way the dials could be used on the blue sea, especially Usopp who started to think about New weapons for Nami and Nojiko.
As they ate Pagaya and Conis explained the geography of Skypeia as Nami went unseen from their window.
Hearing about the forbidden land Luffy couldn't help but feel exited especially after hearing that God lied there.
The straw hats except Robin, all sweatdropped at Luffy's false innocent expression.
Soon after the straw hats, Conis and Pagaya went near the ship to wait for Nami and Pagaya's waver, but they were interrupted by the locals law enforcement the White Berets.
"Esso You are the ones that didn't pay the entrance fee?" asked the captain of the white Berets Mc Kinley, shocking Pagaya and Conis that tried to protest but they were showed pictures that Amazon took.
"Here are the proof but don't worry you only committed a first class crime, if you accept the sentence then the crime will be absolved." explained Mc Kinley.
"Ah and what is the penalty?" asked Alvida toying with her club's handle.
"To pay ten times the entrance fee, they are 17 of you then that means you have to pay 170 billion extols." stated Mc Kinley.
"170 billion extol how much is that in berries?" asked Makino slightly worried at the amount asked of them.
"Berries ah that is the currency of the blue sea, 10 000 extol to 1 berry is the current exchange rate." said the captain.
"But that makes 17 billion berries." stuttered Nojiko knowing that even if they had the money Nami would never allow to pay such a price.
The Pirates were wondering what to do when Nami screamed at them to do nothing.
"But Nami they ask us to pay 17 billion berries." said Usopp in disbelief.
"17...17 billions berries to enter an Island...IS THIEF!" roared the girl as she hit the white berets captain with the waver.
Nami then gave the waver back and started running to the ship with Luffy following her however McKinley woke first.
"No On Moves, You are guilty of rebellion against a law enforcement officer crime of the fifth class, you are sentenced to exile on a cloud. Take them!" roared the man to his men.
"Run they are too strong for you!" screamed Conis trying to help them, and afraid of this penalty as everyone tended to die quickly and painfully without food and water, McKinley told her to be careful as she could be held as an accomplice.
The men started to draw their bows and the straw hats readied themselves for battle.
The men fired their arrows and made milky ways with them, then they bypassed Luffy and went directly on a boat where they were met with a club, an umbrella, four swords and a foot in the face.
Luffy took the captain by surprise as the man gasped seeing his men so easily defeated.
After that Nami decided that in order to stay alive they had to leave the country to with Johnny and Yosaku replied that they didn't ask how to do it, while Luffy looked angry that his crewmembers wanted to leave but in the end he accepted provided the fact that Sanji prepare them Sky Bentos, Alvida and Sophia went along to carry the whole lot of them, Usopp to since he wanted to learn more about dials.
-In Conis's House-
Sanji had prepared the Bentos while Usopp talked with Pagaya about Dials, when Sophia noticed something wrong with the ship as it sailed backwards, it appeared that their ship was taken to the sacrificial altar. To save their comrades, the five pirates would have to face the ordeals of the prelates.
Conis volunteered to show them a boat they could use to travel the milky way.
In the town the pirates noticed the look the villagers send them they also noticed an earth statue, something that Alvida thought silly before being reminded by Conis that earth or as the Sky people called it Vearth was rarer than gold in the sky.
Soon they were by the boat and Luffy confronted Conis who old them the truth about everything. Seeing that lightning was about to crash on them Luffy tried to dodge it with Conis but it was too wide, only Gan Fall presence saved them both.
Gan Fall took Conis with him to protect her and urged the pirates to leave only to be denied by all the pirates who stated that they only leave when their Nakama and their ship will be safe from the so called God Enel.
With that said The five pirates headed to Upper yard, forbidden land and God's domain.
-Upper Yard sacrificial Altar-
The ship was left on the altar, Zoro tried to swim to the land, but Sky shark swam around the altar making it nearly impossible to swim to land.
So if the water way wouldn't work, they would try the sky way with Robin's help Zoro used a creeper to get to the land, Nami, Robin, Vivi, Mary, Muret and Nojiko want with him to explore leaving Chopper, Makino, Kaya, Johnny, Yosaku as well as Lassoo and Carue on the ship, Chopper decided to keep the whistle on his neck to call for the Sky knight if need be.
-Upper Yard on the way to the altar-
After dodging some traps, the five pirates found themselves in front of four doors, ''Ordeal of Swamp'', ''Ordeal of Steel'', ''Ordeal of Wires'' and ''Ordeal of Balloons''.
"I suppose we need to choose one." stated Sophia looking at each of the doors.
"I choose Balloons." stated Luffy looking determined.
"Why so?" asked Sanji wondering where the hell was that coming from.
"Because Steel sounds like Zoro, Johnny or Yosaku's thing, Swamps sounds like crap, and Wires doesn't inspire me confidence so Balloons it is." stated the captain.
"So Balloon it is." parroted Alvida as she steered the Dial propelled ship to the right door.
-Ordeal of the Balloons-
When the five pirates went through the tunnel, they found themselves sailing over emptiness, like toons they looked below then right back up before pummeling on the ground.
Luckily they found themselves on another Milky road, soon it appeared to them why this was named Ordeal of the Balloons as cloud shaped like balloons were everywhere.
They sailed forward carefully when suddenly Alvida hit a balloon without meaning to and a snake came out of it, scared the woman used her club as a baseball bat and batted the snake and his balloon far away from her.
"Be careful snakes came out of the balloons." stated Alvida when she recomposed herself.
Then Sanji seeing a balloon in front of them intended to kick it away from them, only for it to explode.
"Why did it explode?" wondered Sophia in disbelief.
"That's the thing nobody knows what will come out of my surprise balloons." said a unknown voice.
"Who's talking?" asked Usopp a little frightened.
"Ho Hoooo Ho! Esso! Thanks for having chosen the Ordeal of Balloons, My name is Satori." said Satori sitting on a balloon above them.
"Hey fat guy, where are our Nakama?" asked Luffy a little angry about their opponents appearance.
"Oh You mean the sacrificed, you should worry about yourself but they will surely end up dead as you need to defeat me to continue and I will destroy you." stated The prelate.
The round man then jumped from his balloon, Usopp tried to shoot him but it seemed the guy could predict Usopp's attempt and slightly alter his fall for them to miss him.
When the round man touched the boat he went as if to punch Usopp, only for him to open his hand palm facing Usopp's stomach, "Impact!" said Satori as Usopp went flying into a tree.
"What the?.." wondered Alvida as Sanji and Luffy tried to hit the man.
"High kick right leg...low punch left fist." whispered Satori before dodging the hits from Luffy and Sanji and counter attacking with his Impact! Sending both men out of the boat.
"It is the Mantra a power only the worthy posses." stated Satori.
'How could he predict my hit?!' wondered Luffy.
"It is not a punch, it is an Impact!" said Satori before sending both Sophia and Alvida out of the ship as they were distracted with Sanji and Luffy's fate.
"I serve Enel, all mighty God as his prelate, here I reign as a master, in this wandering Forest where you will wander for eternity." stated Satori as the boat continue to sail away.
"Usopp the boat, we will take care of him." ordered Luffy as Usopp already started to rain to keep the boat in his sight.
Luffy used Sanji's leg to propel himself at the round man but the man had already predicted that and took Luffy by the arm and send him into a tree.
Satori then kicked a balloon and by hitting another made a reaction that targeted Usopp, the sharpshooter dodged fearing an explosion, but only a flower came out. Usopp in surprise dropped to the ground losing the boat.
Usopp tried to catch the boat by using a grappling hook, with was a good idea if only he let the thing go in time to reach the boat.
Using the four pirates' distraction Satori shot Sanji with a impact in the stomach.
Having enough playing around Satori used his ultimate attack to form a dragon which he sent after Luffy, the teen ran to a tree and jumped on the rope the man used to control his balloon dragon.
Luffy then broke the rope and Satori panicked when he thought Luffy would tried to use the dragon against him, brought Luffy and the dragon to him the thing then exploded.
When the smoke cleared, Satori panted thinking Luffy dead however the man was attached to the prelate's back and suddenly blocked his arms and wings, Sophia came floating from behind and caught his legs.
Satori not being able to move could only watch as Sanji span vertically at the same time as Alvida hit him with all her might with her trusty iron club.
"Concassé!"
"Heavy Strike!"
The prelate defeated, The four pirates joined Usopp who had finally caught the boat.
-Earlier altar-
Makino and Kaya watched in disbelief as the man that appeared out of nowhere with his huge bird like ride, dodged effortlessly the swordsmen attempts to hit him.
As they lay panting on the ground the man attacked Chopper and when the doctor dodged he attacked the boat, burning the mast.
The pirates glared at this unknown foe.
"Why the hell do you attack us?" growled Yosaku from the ground.
"Because some of you used the creepers to escape." replied the unknown foe.
'Damm you Zoro!' thought the pirates as they remembered Zoro telling he wanted to meet this so called god.
Meanwhile Chopper blew in the whistle calling the Sky knight wich was a good idea as Johnny and Yosaku would soon be defeated and Chopped didn't want to use a rumble ball too soon.
The man speared both Johnny and Yosaku in the shoulder causing them to burn, as they lay defeated the man turned his attention to the ladies and wondered wich one he would kill.
Suddenly Lassoo sensing his mistress in danger turned from his dog form to his hybrid form and sneezed a baseball shaped bomb at the foe.
The man was almost taken by surprise but managed to dodge the explosions.
However the delay was all the sky knight needed to appear, and he engaged the fight against the man and his bird.
"Shura leave them out of this." stated Gan Fall.
"You have no authority left grampa, you are no longer god." stated Shura.
At first the sky knight had the advantage even managing to land an Impact in the prelate's face.
But as soon as the prelate unleashed his ''Ordeal of Wires'' the tide turned against the former god.
In the end Shura managed to defeat Gan Fall by spearing him with his burning lance.
Chopper defeated himself by jumping in the cloud water despite having eaten a devil fruits, Shura then kicked Pierre in the water too.
Suddenly the man had to move as a horizontally spinning Johnny drilled through one of his bird's wings when Johnny reached a tree he jumped back and started spinning horizontally turning into a buzz saw, and cutting through his birds other wings.
The bird unable to fly fell in the water and died eaten by the cloud sharks, Shura got angry and wanted to kill Johnny but his god called him so he had to leave.
Johnny then fell in the water and rescued the former god, his birds and their raccoon doctor.
-With the exploration group-
The group found several clues that supposed that Upper Yards was once on the blue sea, as they found the part missing from Cricket's house.
Muret was flabbergasted as she previously thought that even if Bellamy wasn't right about dreams he still was right about Montblanc Norland and some things, it seemed her former captain was wrong about everything.
'So the golden city must exist somewhere in here...' thought the surgeon.
With that discovery they headed back to the ship.
-Altar with every one-
Once every one made it to the altar, the straw hats held a meeting where everyone told what happened to them.
Usopp was quiet angry when he heard that a man threatened Kaya, he discreetly handed Lassoo a treat for protecting her.
All the fighters were quite surprised to hear about the Mantra and were considering the idea to be very bothersome.
The straw hats were all surprised to discover they were actually on a part of Jaya that was probably launched in the sky by a knock up stream between the time Norland found the golden city and returned here with his king.
It was decided by Luffy and Robin that they would search for the ruins or the golden city tomorrow.
But first they made a party, to celebrate their coming here and Muret's incorporation in the crew.
At the end even the wolves and Gan Fall were happy to celebrate with the Straw hats.
-During The night-
Usopp went to take a piss when he heard noise coming from the ship, when he went to sea he found a small figures repairing the ship.
Usopp stood shell shocked at what the figure said to him.
"I don't believe it..." whispered Muret seeing another legend coming true, as she too was awake and seeing this.
-Morning Going Merry repaired-
All the straw hats except Muret and Usopp were flabbergasted as they saw the Going Merry repaired as he was and not like he was altered to fly up the knock up stream.
Usopp told them what he saw and Muret agreed with him seeing she too saw that but she was still working on believing.
"It can't be..." whispered Makino who in her past of barmaid heard sailors tell their tales.
"What can't be?" asked Kaya worried for Merry's ship seeing Makino's pale face.
"It is a tell a sailor once told in my bar, it is told that when a crew see a little repairman in a sailor suit repairing their ship, it is a sign that the ship is dying but that in life was well liked by the crew and that as such warns them of its impending doom." said Makino.
"We were warned not to do anything to hard with the ship, weren't we?" said Nojiko.
"Looks like the knock up stream was too much for this old ship." stated Alvida.
All the straw hats lowered their heads in respect for the going merry that sailed with them for so long.
Luffy decided that once they went back to the blue sea, they would seek a navy carpenters and see what to do about either repairing the ship or getting a new larger one.
But that wasn't the time so groups were made Luffy, Zoro, Robin, Chopper, Alvida, Sophia, Johnny and Yosaku would explore Upper Yard to find the golden cities, Makino, Kaya, Usopp, Sanji, Nami, Nojiko, Mary, Muret, Vivi would stay with the ship Gan Fall and the animals.
-With the explorers-
The group of eight pirates went in the south to find the golden city, but with Zoro's sense of orientation it was more difficult than foreseen.
Soon the group found a huge snake in front of them, they tried to fight it but it was useless, in the end they got separated with Luffy, Chopper, Zoro, Alvida, Sophia and Robin ending up by themselves and Johnny with Yosaku somewhere else.
-With the ship-
Gan Fall explained to the group that stayed with him, the history of Skypeia how the Sky people were at war with the Shandians, for 400 years until six years ago when Enel took over.
Then he made Sanji demonstrate an Impact dial on a barrel, and explained that all dials could be used either as tools or weapons.
-Elsewhere-
The Shandians wanted to retook their homeland and attacked Upper Yard, taking advantage of Satori's defeat.
But then they were trapped into Shura's ''Ordeal of Wires'' and the man would takes pleasur in killing them before chasing Johnny who killed his birds.
However he didn't learn to count a Wiper leader of the Shandians warriors ended him with a dial ten times stronger than an Impact a Reject.
With Shura and Satori's out remained only two prelates.
Then the Shandians scattered.
-With Zoro-
The green haired swordsman was trying to find his way towards the south but the man was lost even if he didn't want to admit it, suddenly he was attacked by goat looking men wich were soundly defeated.
As he entered a meadow inside the wandering forest a goat looking man was shot just behind him.
"If you are not god or a prelate let me through I am in hurry." said Zoro wanting to find the city before anyone else to keep everyone for guessing he didn't know to find his way.
The Shandian only answer was to shoot the swordsman with his twin guns, momentarily blinding Zoro with the light they emitted.
The green haired sword man managed to dodge despite being blinded.
However the Shandian had already moved and suddenly slammed one of his strange roller blade in Zoro's gut, however the swordsman got up looking even more bloodthirsty.
"I have to admit you are strong Blue sea dweller." said the Shandian.
"I apologize to I took you for Cannon Fodder." apologized Zoro taking his swords out.
The Shandian jumped, landed behind Zoro and shot the swordsman with his light guns, the swordsman dodged and attacked with Tora Gari but the Shandian dodged in time.
"A swordsman without dials will never defeat me Milky Dial!" said the man throwing a dial before Zoro creating a milky road the guy took to kick Zoro in the gut sending the man to the Milky road, where a sky leech attacked him.
Zoro cut the leech but he was distracted and shot in the leg.
After trying to trick his foe with glasses, Zoro went far away from his opponent.
'Is he trying to escape?' wondered the shooter.
"Sight, Touch, Smell, Taste, Hearing and Will can be either good, bad or neutral! Knowing also that those senses can be either pure or corrupt we have here the thirty six passions of human existence!" said Zoro slowly putting Wado Ichi monji over his head.
"I am actually pointing a canon at you, what do you say My canon versus your light guns?" asked Zoro.
"Have you lost your mind where do you keep a canon?" said the Shandian as he jumped at Zoro.
"Sanjuroku Pound ho!" said Zoro unleashing a blade of air to his foe cutting him and defeating him.
-With Chopper-
The poor reindeer, was trying to find his Nakama without getting killed by the divine guards or the Shandians.
The doctor came to a swamp like cloud and suddenly a man appeared but it appeared he couldn't speak or talk.
"Lord Gedatsu if you are going to narrow your eyes like that you won't see him and please don't bite your lower lips when trying to talk." deadpanned a divine guard.
"Foolish pirate you are in my territory, the ''Ordeal of Swamps''!" stated Gedatsu as slowly sank into his own swamp.
"You are the one sinking!" shrieked the frightened reindeer.
Then Gedatsu got away thanks to dial strapped to his shoes.
Thanks to a smart usage of his Rumble ball Chopper found the weakness in Gedatsu and managed to defeat him with his Kokutei cross, with no small amount of luck.
-With Johnny and Yosaku-
The two swordsmen were attacked by divine guards and so the swordsmen had a contest about who will be the one stronger between the two of them.
In the end each defeated an even number of guards, meaning they were equal.
But soon they noticed two Shandians skating on the milky way they quietly followed them.
-With Alvida-
Alvida after getting separated from the group met Wiper leader of the Shandian warrior.
She apologized for not knowing this land was theirs but Wiper would consider all his enemies and attacked with his Bazooka.
All the cannonball passed around the edge of her smooth body.
"You ate a Paramecia didn't you?" asked Wiper knowing the class of Devil fruits.
"Why yes the Sube Sube no mi." replied Alvida while she tried to find a way to hit him.
The demon then changed tactic seeing the normal ammunition wouldn't work n her so he put gas dial into his bazooka and fired inflammable gas at Alvida.
Seeing what Wiper intended to do Alvida ran from the location and used hr Sube slide to move even faster.
Wiper didn't pursue her as he wanted to find Enel.
-With Sophia-
The young woman was walking in the woods and somehow found Shandians going at it with divine guards, the lady tried to ask them for direction to the south, only for them to attack her.
So the young woman took out her trusty Umbrella and after making it heavier started to use it like a club.
The young woman still took a hit from one of the Axe dial making her bleed, so she decided to look for either the ship or Chopper to get healed.
-With Luffy-
The young captain walked in the forest trying to search for his Nakama somehow he found himself at the edge of the forest where he saw a young woman gathering earth in a bag.
Wondering why the hell she did that Luffy approached the woman slowly with his hands in the air, in the universal gesture meaning ''I mean you no harm''.
Startled at his approach the black haired woman span around and shot Luffy who managed to dodge in time.
"You...You are one of the blue sea dweller, What are you doing here?" asked the woman.
"Ha You see there was this huge snake that attacked us and I got separated from my crew so now I look for them and somehow ended up here." explained Luffy.
"I mean what are you doing in Upper Yard?" asked the woman.
"Ah At first the prelates took our ship here to sacrifice my crewmembers so I came here to rescue them, we even beat some round guy to do while we were there, and after that Our navigator and our archeologist found that this Island was once in the sea below us so that means Circket's ancestor Norland wasn't lying about the golden city, he just didn't know where it went, the guy thought it sank into the ocean but instead it was up there." said Luffy excitedly, he didn't notice the Shandian's eyes widen at hearing Norland's name.
"That Cricket whose ancestor is Norland, Is his Name Montblanc?" nervously asked the woman.
"Yes this guy Montblanc Cricket dives every day to prove his ancestor was right." added Luffy.
The Shandian woman cried at hearing those words, 'Great Warrior Calgara, your friends descendant still live we must fulfill Shandora's promise!'
"You blue sea dweller, Are you here for our land?" asked the Shandian to be sure.
"Nah we have enough earth down in the blue sea, I would like to see the golden city and ring it's bell so that Cricket will know that his ancestor was right." said Luffy to his somewhat new friend.
"Fine, I Laki of Shandia will help you find your crew and this bell, provided you help me with finding my Leader Wiper and help us defeating Enel." said Laki proposing a temporary alliance with Luffy.
"Sound good I wanted to kick his ass anyway." said the pirate captain as started to walk.
"Why? What did Enel do to you?" asked Laki shocked at Luffy's intention of defeating Enel.
"To me nothing, he threatened my friend." stated Luffy.
'To go that far for just threatening a friend I wonder where will he if Enel actually hurt one of his friend?' wondered Laki deep in thought as she still didn't know how such a guy existed.
-With Robin-
The 28 year old archeologist went her way to find the ruins defeating some divine guards along the way.
As she found them she was found by the head of the divine guards Yama.
Desperately wanting to protect the ruins she let herself be hit but Yama still destroyed some ruins.
Angered Robin turned Yama's dials against him before sending him crashing down a cliff.
-Going Merry-
The straw hats and Gan Fall stared at Sanji's falling Body as the cook was so easily defeated by Enel who somehow appeared on their ship.
Muret and Kaya immediately went to his side to check if he was alive, somehow angered by Kaya's voice Enel shot her too with his lightening sending her unconscious but alive, Usopp and Lassoo were also zapped as they attacked the god for his cowardly attack on Kaya.
Mary noticed that Usopp rubber hit Enel on the head and didn't pass through his body like Sanji's kicks.
Enel then talked a bit of his plan and stated that by the end of the hour only 10 people would be conscious.
It seemed Enel was planning of leaving, so he decided to have a battle royal so that only the best would travel with him.
When Gan Fall asked what would happen with his former men Enel only laughed before leaving with this "Only God knows."
