Here's another chapter of the SCP series! One that features one of the funny moments in One Piece and the start of a hard battle for one of the Straw Hat groups. Now without any further ado, enjoy the chapter~
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or Kingdom Hearts. I do not own Guthrie and, soon to join, Allen. Well, actually I kind of do own him.
*OPENING*
Let's fly to the sky
(The sun rises as Merry sails across the ocean)
There's not a single cloud in the sky
(All the current Straw Hats watched the sun rises, Luffy on the figurehead)
Let's fly to the sky. (It's time to fly around) Catch the perfect breeze for you
(The camera faces the sky as the title appears on the screen)
Paint the sky with (Let's go to the wonder world) imagination that no one's ever seen
(Camera faces back to the Going Merry as everyone went on with their peaceful business)
OH! OH! Even if it's too dazzling (Come on)
(Xion looked up and saw Marines ahead of them and warned everyone)
OH! OH! under the sun
(They all prepared themselves for battle. Marines fired cannon balls at them)
OH! OH! If it's you, you can make it! Throw away your pride and FLY!
(Luffy, Zoro and Sanji sent the cannons back at them. Usopp fired a cannon of their own with Xion, in her Wisdom Form, unleashed Triple Firaga at them, followed by a Thundaga, clearing their path)
Everyday is plain!
Real talent makes the world go round
(Going Merry sailed through the smoke. Everyone looked content as they enjoyed the sea breeze)
Deceit won't work anymore.
(Scene changed to Jaya in Mock Town, as camera faced each of the Blackbeard Pirates.)
Mayday, the red light is stopping you too
(Scene changed to Cricket's home, showing Cricket with Masira and Shojo side by side.)
Lend me an ear! And I'm gonna stick on my RAP! Wussup!
(Guthrie fights against some pirates and Heartless. One tried to sneak up on him and Chirithy knocked it away.)
"From tomorrow on I'll get serious!"- seriously cut it out with excuses like that
(Allen danced as he dodged the attacks of the pirates and attacked them at the same time)
Increase your money with your dream! Time is money like NASDAQ!
(The Straw Hats looked at Cricket's gold and searched for the South Bird)
When will you do it boy? It's now or never man! This is the moment, right?
(The crew then arrived at the Knock Up Stream and went to the skies.)
Everybody put ya hands in the air and clap ya hands like this like that
Clap ya hands everybody! Everybody just clap ya hands!
(Scenes quickly changed to different scenes. Xion and Guthrie crossed blades, Luffy's one-hit KO on Bellamy, the group trying to catch the South Bird, then finally their first encounter with the Shandia Warriors)
Let's fly to the sky (It's time to fly around) Catch the perfect breeze for you
(The Straw Hat Pirates arrived on Skypiea and were approached by the White Berets and fought them)
Paint the sky with (Let's go to the wonder world) imagination that no one's ever seen
(Scene changed to the group in the Upper Yard fighting against Heartless, Shandians and Priests)
OH! OH! Even if it's too dazzling (Come on)
(Scene changed to Xion fighting against a blonde Organization XIII member with knives and lightning magic)
OH! OH! under the sun
(Changed to Guthrie and Allen teaming up against the Nobodies)
OH! OH! If it's you, you can make it! Throw away your pride and FLY!
(Changed to Luffy battling Enel. In a flash of light, opening ends with all of Straw Hats on Merry, facing the camera)
Last time:
"We just entered the forest though. This seems a bit too early for ordeals," Xion pointed out, cancelling her link with Gunma. "You did good." She petted him on the head.
"Xion-swan~ What about me~?" Sanji asked, expecting to be petted as well.
"No." And got rejected by her. "Besides that, we will be in more than trouble if we stop here. Keep going, Usopp."
"'Keep going,' she says," the long-nose pirate repeated in a whispered mocking tone.
That, unfortunately for him, didn't go unnoticed. "Did you say something~?" The Keyblade wielder cracked her knuckles as she asked that.
"N-Nothing!"
"Thought so."
*MEANWHILE, WITH THE OTHERS*
Chopper walked away, eagerly stating, "Well, you're a Dream Eater. You must have some super cool powers to fight any monsters that come our way like all of Xion-nee's Spirits."
Hearing that made him nervous for some reason. "Uh, I'm not a combatant Dream Eater," he confessed. Chopper stopped in his tracks, turning to him, confused. "Yeah, I'm not like other Dream Eaters, and are able to fight. I'm more of a guidance for Keyblade wielders and one who keeps ahold of their skill medals. I can't fight monsters properly."
There was a moment of silence between the two of them as the revelation sunk into both of their minds. Chopper wasn't as strong as the others, and Chirithy lacked any fighting skills. They were on a ship alone in the middle of a dangerous forest. This led to one conclusion as their faces paled in panic.
"THE ONES IN MOST DANGER... ARE US!" they exclaimed in unison.
Some time later, Zoro, Nami, Robin and Guthrie were still traveling through the woods.
"Where is this God?" Zoro asked.
"If he's a God, he might have already foreseen our actions from long ago," Robin stated.
"So what? Is he trying to distance himself from us? Observe us for fun?" Guthrie asked.
"We would know if he shows up," the three-sword-style swordsman said.
"I'd rather he doesn't show! How many times do I have to tell you?!" Nami retorted. "The God on this island is horrible!" She started to recall what she saw earlier when she came to the island alone. "Oh God, please stay nice and peaceful... Oh! And please let us find some treasure..."
"That's what you care about?" Guthrie questioned.
"In any case, walking along the river won't get us anywhere," Zoro stated. "We should cross and check out the other side." Robin and Guthrie agreed with the idea.
"But how? Use a vine to swing across like before?" Nami asked. "Or do we climb a-?" Before she could finish her second suggestion, the ground near her foot started to give in, causing her to lose her balance and start to fall in the cloud. As if on cue, a sky shark started to emerge with its mouth wide open.
Zoro quickly reacted, pushing the navigator back and kicking the man-eating sea creature away from them. Robin used her devil fruit power to catch Nami's fall.
"Damn! Those things are everywhere!" the swordsman barked, glaring at the cloud river full of sharks.
"If you think I'm crossing that now, you're out of your mind!" Nami whined. "We might as well just jump in and give those sharks a free snack!"
"Look, I get you got scared, but there's no reason to get all huffy about it," Guthrie stated, frowning at Nami's demeanor.
"He's right. Let's just go upstream until we find a safe place to cross over," Zoro agreed.
"Give up, I'm not going!" Nami barked back. "If you wanna go so badly, then leave me here!"
Guthrie had enough of the navigator's complaints and started to walk away. "You know what? Fine! Let the spoiled little princess stay here to whine about every little thing!"
"Watch your mouth! I thought you were our ship's counselor! You're doing a pretty lousy job at what you signed up for!"
Guthrie stopped and turned to Nami, the fierceness in his eyes was enough to make Nami shift her anger into shock. "For your information, I have only just started working as your crew's counselor and the first thing I did was looking into the log journals you wrote throughout your time on the ship, while we were heading to the Knock-up Stream," he started, walking right back to Nami. "I learned all about you guys based on the journals written there, including your little issue in your home town, Nami." He moved Zoro to the side, reached down and grabbed one of Nami's backpack straps, pulling her to his face. "I get it that you had a tough life beforehand, and that thanks to Luffy and the others, you are a free bird. But that doesn't give you the right to act like a pampered princess who whines every time things don't go her way! Life is not like that! Sometimes, life wants to make you miserable and the only thing you can do is endure it! You want you become a pirate and a navigator? Then endure the storms of troubles, so that you can reach that goal you want to get to!"
Guthrie shoved Nami away from him, who stumbled backwards, completely shocked. Zoro and Robin were surprised, but not as much. What he said was reason enough, and it was something that they all could agree on. However, the ferocity of Guthrie's words showed something about him that the two were able to understand; Guthrie had endured a lot of troubles in his own life.
Robin looked down and realized something she should've realized when they first arrived on the island.
"Say... This ground..." she said, inspecting the land they were on.
"What about it?" Nami asked.
"It's dirt."
Nami didn't see where she was going with this. "Well yeah. This is an island."
Guthrie realized what their archeologist meant. "This is sky island. Dirt shouldn't exist here."
Zoro caught on to what they meant. "Oh yeah. This part isn't fluffy," he said, tapping the ground.
It took Nami a few more seconds to remember an important fact about sky island. "Oh right! Sky island are islands made of cloud. It feels like a long time since I've felt dirt like this. Why is this island different?"
"In any case, it's certain that this is an unusual sky island. Looks like checking into it might be worth a lot," Robin said.
Back to Xion and the boys, as they continued to sail to the altar, they saw what seemed like a selection of ordeal ahead of them.
"A Level 2 crime, huh? What do you take God for?!" demanded a voice.
"Choose an ordeal. We shall present it with out own hands," said another voice.
"Sin is living in ignorance," said another.
"The means to attaining peace do not lead into Heaven," said another.
"Swamp. Iron. String. Balls. Choose your ordeal," the four voices ended.
The four pirates on the Crow were weary of the choices before them. Well, three of the four.
"So, what do we do?" Usopp asked.
"Go with balls!" Luffy quickly decided.
"Stop making decisions for us!" Xion shouted.
"Why that one, Luffy?" the sniper of the group asked again.
"It sounds fun."
"That's your reason?! These are ordeals! They're not gonna be fun!"
"Usopp, this is Luffy we're talking about," Xion stated.
"I guess so. Then again, I do agree with him. It's the only one that doesn't sound violent," Usopp said. "I mean, when I think of swamp, I get the feeling that once you sink, there's no coming back."
"Then what about iron?" their captain asked.
"... Denied! That sounds totally bad!"
'Either he was thinking we would go through what we just went through on the way here, just more deadly, or hundreds of tons of iron are falling on top of us,' Xion thought, noticing his scared expression before he answered the question.
"Then what about string?" Luffy asked again.
"It sounds easy, and not too bad at all, but... N-No! Its easy sound makes it more suspicious!" Usopp reasoned again.
Xion raised a brow at his reason. "Really? I thought you were thinking we would be hanged if we're not careful enough."
Hearing that made the guy go pale. "That's even worse than I imagined! And as for the ball... It sounds round and soft, but it's most likely to be a trick! We really need to think it over!"
"There's no time to be wishy-washy! We're already here, anyway!" Sanji said.
"Let's go with ball," Luffy practically ordered.
"You heard him, Usopp," Xion said to their current driver.
The long-nose sniper looked at the four paths before them in fear. "A-All right. I'll go with Luffy's hunch on this one!"
"Then it's decided. Don't let your guard down," Sanji advised.
"We are on God's Island. And thousands of meters in the air," Xion added. "Anything can happen."
"Let's go! To ball!" Luffy eagerly ordered.
With that, the Crow was directed to their ordeal.
As they said through the dark tunnel of the path to the ball ordeal, Usopp was having his eyes shut tight, not wanting to see anything horrifying; Luffy, being Luffy, was just eager to see what the ordeal had in store for them; Xion cautiously looked around, trying to see if there were any signs of trouble even though they just entered the pathway; Sanji was pretty much like Luffy, but not as eager as him.
"Hey driver. Don't shut your eyes," he said.
At Sanji's words, Usopp slowly opened his eyes. "It's just as dark with them open!" he whined.
"Hey, what if it's like those games?" Luffy asked, to their confusion. "You know, how one path has a prize and the rest are wrong?"
Usopp, on the other hand, was freaking out even more at his captain's question. "Wait, what?! What if we picked wrong?! Why are you saying this now?!"
Luffy thought about what if they picked wrong. "Let's see... If we picked the wrong one... Then we fall off sky island!"
That answer made the sniper panic even more. "Don't be so stupid! 'Falling off', you say?! We're thousands of meters in the air! I don't know how many times life will flash before our eyes during a fall like that and I don't want to know!"
"Quit being idiots," Sanji told them, as they started to exit the tunnel.
"He's right. Nothing like that's going to-" Xion was cut off as, the moment they were out of the tunnel, the four found the Crow had sailed off the edge of a cliff and they were currently floating in the air.
The sight before them combined with the story Luffy made up caused the four to scream bloody murder, eyes popped out of their sockets, especially Usopp and his teeth.
"NO! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING MEEEE!" Usopp cried out, as they all fell to their deaths.
Or so they thought, when the Crow landed on a cloud river and continued to sail. Some nearby birds flew away in shock at its landing.
"We-... We're alive..." the long-nose, mentally-scarred, pirate breathed. "I seriously thought we were falling back to the Blue Sea..."
Luffy was the only one laughing at the experience, as Sanji kicked his head, followed by Xion whacking the rubber boy with her Keyblade.
"It's because you made up that stupid story, Luffy!" the chef accused.
"I was scared! I thought I was gonna die!" the captain laughed.
"How can you be laughing?!" the vice-captain demanded.
After taking some time to calm down after the horrifying experience, the four pirates took in their new surroundings.
"So... What is this place?" Xion asked, as Sanji started to smoke on a new cigarette.
"There are a lot of balls here," Luffy stated.
Floating around the group were white, harmless looking balls.
"They're small 'island cloud' balls," Sanji said.
"Awesome! They're like big snow!" the devil fruit user of a captain happily exclaimed. "What a weird place. It's so neat!"
'He forgot this is suppose to be an ordeal, did he?' Xion thought.
"The Milky Road leads above the trees," Sanji informed at the wheel, considering their previous driver was in a huge shock.
"But what part of this place is an ordeal?" the Keyblade wielder wondered.
"Who knows? It'd be great if there's nothing at all, but I doubt that's the case." As Sanji said that, he seemed to have thought of something. Xion noticed and was about to ask if he knew what was up with the ordeal, when she saw a perverted look on his face.
"I doubt that's it, you ass hole!" she shouted, hitting him hard with the Keyblade, knocking him out and taking the wheel.
"Maybe we chose the prize door!" Luffy guessed. "I bet if we chose the wrong one, we'd be in huge trouble right about now!"
Usopp was starting to regain himself. "Y-Yeah... You might be right," he agreed.
"You idiots! Don't let your guard down!" Xion scolded. "They're calling this an ordeal. Something has to be trouble in here. For all we know, these balls are traps, so stay sharp." The two conscious boys all tensed at her words. "In any case, we should keep moving. As long as we don't do anything to any of these balls, we should be safe."
Instead of hearing a 'yes' or an 'okay', Xion heard in response, "I'm thirsty! Let's have some tea!"
"Huh? Yeah, let's! Open up the rice crackers in your bag!"
Hearing how carefree they were acting made Xion slam her head on the wheel. 'I was a fool to think they will take this seriously,' she thought.
"Hey, Xion! Have a rice cracker!" Luffy told her.
"Yeah! Come over here and have some!" Usopp followed.
"Who's going to steer the gondola then?! Look, I'll keep watch at the front, you guys take the side and back, got it?!" Xion demanded. The two boys flinched at her tone and nodded. "Good."
Time later, the group was still smoothly sailing through the 'ordeal'.
"It took us really high at some point," Usopp noticed, as he and Luffy looked from the side of the Crow. Sanji regained conscious and joined the boys in the view.
'This is odd,' Xion couldn't help but think. 'Since this is an ordeal, I could've sworn we would meet up with one of the priests. There were four entrances, and there are suppose to be four priests. I assumed each entrance would lead us to one priest.' As she looked around in the woods, she saw one shadow that seemed quite peculiar. Her eyes widened and quickly searched for the ball that casted the shadow. To her shock and confusion, there were none that looked like the shadow she saw. Xion looked back at the said shadow, only to see it gone. 'Okay. I know what I saw,' she then thought. 'We're not alone.'
"Guys. Keep your guards up and eyes peeled. We're not-"
"Hey, Usopp! Pass!" Luffy spoke, interrupting her warning.
"Okay, I got it! Pass!" followed Usopp's voice.
Xion looked behind her and saw her captain and sniper playing with one of the balls, much to her horror.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO KEEPING WATCH?!" she demanded.
"Here, Xion-swan~ Some lovely tea for the lovely lady~" Sanji offered, handing her the said tea in a tea cup.
"You're not helping either! And you two, quit playing with that-!" It was then Xion finally noticed the ball Luffy and Usopp were playing with. "Idiots! Toss it away!"
The boys looked at her in confusion, until a live snake's head popped out of the ball, mouth open wide to eat Usopp whole. The sniper managed to duck in time to avoid the bite.
"You jerk! Get out of here!" Luffy shouted, kicking the snake off their boat. "That was a close one."
"Now I see how this is an ordeal," Xion muttered. "Make sure none of these balls get close to us!"
As the vice-captain looked back at the front, she saw one of the balls heading towards them. She was about to blow it away, when Sanji intervened with a kick. Upon contact, however, the ball started to glow. The next thing they knew, the ball exploded on them. Luckily for them, it was small enough to only cover them in soot and gave them frizzy hair.
'This isn't good,' they thought in unison, Sanji puffing out some smoke.
"What's the deal with these balls?!" Usopp cried out.
"Hoh hoh hooo! There's no telling what will come out!" came a voice. The four were on guard as they searched for the source. "These clouds are called 'surprise clouds'! Heso!"
"Who're you?!" Usopp demanded, as they found their opponent, who was pretty much a round person in a white jumpsuit with yellow sunglasses, red hair, orange hat, gloves and shoes.
"Thank you for choosing my ball ordeal! Hoh hoh hooo!" he thanked.
"Who is that dango freak?" Sanji dared ask, as the pirates sweat dropped at the appearance of the assumed priest.
"Can he be a priest?" Xion guessed, as the guy before them started to happily jump on the ball he was on.
"You're the ball ordeal?! A ball?!" Luffy questioned..
"And quit dancing! Who the hell are you?!"
The priest didn't stop dancing on the ball and ignored the question.
"Wow. He's dumber than I expected," Usopp stated.
"Didn't Nami and the old guy say they were really strong?" Luffy recalled.
"Hey! Dumpling!" Sanji called. "Nami-san and the others are safe, I hope?!"
"Do you mean the sacrifices?" the priest asked back. "If so, I wouldn't know. Even if they're left alone, they're going to die! Even if they manage to escape, they're still going to die!" Hearing that pissed Sanji off. "You should worry about yourselves. Just so you know, you'll need to beat me to continue ahead!" He then jumped off his ball over to their side.
"Here he comes! Get him Luffy!" Usopp shouted.
Luffy prepared his signature attack. "Oh? You're gonna stretch?" the priest asked. Xion heard that question and couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock. As Luffy used his Gomu Gomu no Pistol attack, the enemy somehow managed to avoid it. He then pressed his left palm against Luffy's face and, to the pirates' shock, forced him away and into a tree.
"No way!" Usopp gasped.
"Luffy!" Sanji called.
Their captain then fell on the grass on his front.
"Luffy?! Hey! You're alright, right?!" Usopp cried out. "Regular hits don't work on you!"
"A hit?" the priest questioned. "It's a bit different from a hit!"
"I'll show you different!" Sanji went in to attack him.
Like before, he managed to dodge Sanji's attack.
"Only the well-trained are given the power of Mantra," he said. He then did what he'd done to Luffy and knocked Sanji away with a palm attack.
"Sanji!" Usopp cried out.
Xion looked back at the dango-shaped guy. "That guy... He can predict attacks?"
"It's not much of a hit. Impact." The priest then knocked Usopp off the Crow like he did to the other boys. "The shock destroys the body from the inside."
Usopp was on the ground in the same condition as the others.
"Usopp!" Xion called, summoning her Keyblade. "If physical attacks won't work..." She pointed her Keyblade at him, prepared to use a Blizzard magic.
"Trying to freeze me?" he asked, to her shock as she fired her intended magic. Like how it happened to Sanji and Luffy, however, the priest also avoided it and used that palm attack on her, forcing her off the Crow as well.
"D-Dammit... Sanji! Usopp! Xion!" Luffy shouted, regaining conscious.
"I'm alright! But what the hell was that?" the chef asked.
"That didn't feel like any ordinary palm attack," Xion said, healing herself with her Cure magic.
"Man. That guy's mysterious," the rubberman stated, putting his hat back on his head.
The priest resumed his dance on their ride. "My name is Satori! I'm one of the priests of the almighty God Enel! I own the Vearth of this Illusion Forest!"
"Illusion Forest?"
"Yes! This very forest! And..." He pressed the gas pedal on the Crow and got on a random ball. "Your boat will be lost in its illusions! Your boat will now speed along this forest's Milky Road at random and eventually leave through this forest's only exit! I'm sure you realize it, but losing a dial boat is the same as losing your way to the sacrificial altar. So you must find and board the boat before it happens. Of course, these countless surprise clouds and I won't allow that. Welcome to the sacred ground of Upper Yard. This is the Illusion Forest Ball Ordeal, with a ten percent survival rate!"
"Ten percent survival rate?!" Usopp repeated in shock. His nakama weren't fazed by the low survival rate.
*MEANWHILE*
Back with Chopper and Chirithy, the two small members of the crew were crying out their comrades who just left them to return.
"Zoro! Nami! Robin! Don't leave us all alone! Please come back!" the former cried out.
"Guthrie, you idiot! Come back and protect us!" the latter followed.
"Who'll save us if we're suddenly attacked?"
All of a sudden, a sky shark jumped out of the water right in front of them. The two were terrified at the sudden appearance and quickly moved away from the railings. Thankfully, the sea creature went back into the cloudy sea.
"This is all because your idiot of a captain wanted to come to the sky island!" the Dream Eater accused to the reindeer.
At his name, the Devil Fruit user remembered something that Zoro said. "Oh yeah. Luffy and the others are coming! Which means Xion-nee is going to come soon!" The two were silent at those words.
"Oh yeah! Which means we will only have to endure until they get here!" Chirithy caught on.
"Yeah! We just need to play it safe and wait for them!" Chopper nodded. "In the meantime, let's fix the ship!"
"Okay!"
With that, the two non-human creatures started to fix the ship as best as they possibly could.
Chirithy noticed Chopper seemed really happy. "What's that smile for?"
"Well, it's just if Luffy and the others come back and saw we managed to fix the ship-" Chopper was so caught up in his own, little world, he accidentally hit his finger. He cried out in pain and tossed the hammer away.
The two ran to the stairs where it fell and saw it at the last step.
"You go get it, Chopper," Chirithy said.
"Why me?!" the man-reindeer demanded.
"Well, why should it be me?!"
"You can disappear whenever you want without getting eaten!"
"Not all the time! There's a limit to what Dream Eaters can and can't do! Besides, you were the one who dropped it!"
*BACK TO LUFFY AND THE OTHERS*
Satori was still dancing on top of his cloud. "You'd better hurry before the boat goes deeper into Illusion Forest!" he advised.
"Hey! We really have to go after the boat before we lose it!" Usopp agreed. "If we lose it, we might not find it again!" He then took off.
"Wait, Usopp! The same is true if we get separated!" Sanji called, only to be ignored.
"Then we'll just split into two groups!" Xion suggested. "Sanji, you go with Usopp to stop the boat! Send a signal when guys retrieve it! Luffy and I will handle Satori!"
"Yes, Xion-swan~" With that, the lovesick chef followed the sniper to their soon-to-be lost gondola.
"Hoh hoh hooo! In your dreams! I'm filled with good fortune and pride!" the priest in question boasted.
"Careful, Luffy. As you know, that guy has some strange powers," Xion warned her captain.
"Yeah. I got it," he answered, cracking his knuckles. "Don't you dare move, Ball!" Luffy stretched an arm to grab a branch above him. Reaching the same height as their opponent, Luffy used another Pistol attack, only to be avoided again. Satori then grabbed Luffy's stretched arm and practically lassoed him into a tree.
Up next was Xion, who had called out Gunma and was currently in a Link Action with him. Carrying his master, Gunma flew over to Satori, with Xion prepared to strike him.
"Also a head-on attack," she heard the priest say, as he avoided her attack and used another mysterious palm strike on her. She would've hit a tree or a surprise could, if Gunma hadn't regained his aerial balance.
"What's wrong, you two? I thought you were going to take care of me," Satori mocked.
"Well guess what. We will!" Luffy promised, as he stretched his arm to grab a branch behind Satori. "This time I won't miss! Gomu Gomu no Muchi!" Even though he faked a punch, Satori knew he was actually going to a kick and dodged it again. "Again!" Luffy went in for another surprise kick, only to have it caught like his pistol earlier, which was what he wanted. "Gomu Gomu no-" Before he could unleash whatever attack he had in mind, Satori did another palm strike on him.
"Luffy!" Xion shouted, as Gunma flew her over to their opponent, the girl with a big magic spell prepared. "Let's see if he can dodge this! Tripe Firaga!" She shot out a trio of fire magic at Satori, which proved to be futile, as he avoided all three fireballs and tossed Luffy to her and Gunma. The two pirates collided and crashed into a tree, with the Dream Eater forced to release its master. Before they had the chance to recover, Satori unleashed a barrage of the palm strikes at them. Once he ended his assault, Luffy's head was stuck in a tree and Xion was holding her chest, blood seeping out of her mouth. The pirate captain struggled to get his head out of the tree and the vice used Curaga to heal herself back to full health.
"Hoh hoh hoooo! How stubborn," Satori stated.
All Xion could do was glare at the priest, wondering what they can do to defeat him.
