Heya folks! We're back with another chapter of SCP: Soaring to the Sky! Let's get started with 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:
As Chopper and Chirithy continued to argue over the whistle, something was flying towards them. Chopper was the first to notice. "What is that?" Chirithy looked and also noticed the object flying towards them.
"Is that... a bird?" he guessed.
The bird got close to them, giving them a good view of it and the person riding it. The guy seemed to be a Skypeian in aviator clothes, with a pair of goggles on his head and a lance in his hand.
"What? You two are the only sacrifice I get to kill?" the rider asked, to their great fear. Almost instantly, Chopper went and blew the whistle.
*WITH GUTHRIE'S GROUP*
"Well, that's one thing we accomplished for Xion," Nami stated, as everyone regrouped.
"Heh! Proves that we can take those things on without her," Zoro chuckled.
"Funny, considering you were the one who was asleep through more than half of it," Robin pointed out, causing the swordsman to look disgruntled at that fact.
"Whatever. We got a recipe for her, so we'll give it to her when she, Luffy, Sanji and Ussop join us again," Guthrie decided, pocketing the recipe. "Let's keep moving. We still have no idea what this island has in store for us."
As three of the team started walking off, the usual whiner of the group questioned, "Why?! We just found a recipe, so let's head back before something else bad happens to us!" She noticed her outcries ignored, so she moaned as she followed after them.
*BACK TO THE RESCUE GROUP*
They were having a harder time than ever with Satori. The guy kept predicting their attacks, using his palm attacks on them, and even kicking his surprise balls at the group. Usopp was the first to go after Sanji.
"Usopp!" Luffy cried out.
"Luffy! Look out!" Xion shouted, moving away from her spot, as the priest kicked more balls their way.
The rubberman looked back and saw them coming, but took the chance and hoped they were duds, only for them to all explode at his face.
"I told you to look out!" the vice exclaimed in disbelief.
"And then there was one," came Satori's voice. Xion looked back up and saw him simply sitting on one of the balls. "Hoh hoh hoo! Now then, what will you do?"
Back to the smallest pirates, both trembled in fear as the priest before them approached.
"Now, off your lives to God Eneru," he said, stabbing his spear down. The two non-humans managed to avoid the strike in time. As the priest removed his weapon from its place, flames emerged from where it struck.
"Fire...!" Chopper gasped.
"Why do you struggle?" the aviator priest asked, getting back on his bird's back. "There's no way you can escape death. Die gracefully!" His ride breathed out fire, to the Devil Fruit user and Dream Eater's shock as they both avoided the flames once more. However, in doing so, the rope holding up the mast was set ablaze instead.
"Ah! Merry!" Chirithy cried out, as he and Chopper, who changed in his Heavy Point, went to try to put the fire out. As the Devil Fruit user changed, the Dream Eater could've sword that, just before he did, he heard the priest said something about Chopper getting bigger.
"Hey, hey! Why do you care when there won't be anyone to get on board?!" said priest questioned. "You and your friends cannot escape death."
"Who the hell are you?!" Chopper demanded.
"And stay away from our friends!" Chirithy shouted.
The aviator leapt off his bird to stab Chopper, who managed to change into his small size to avoid the strike. "Then... offer your lives instead!" He punched Chopper, causing him to crash into Chirithy and kicked them into the mast.
His bird then proceeded to roast them alive, in which both managed to avoid once more. In turn, though, the mast was burned instead. Both panicked at the sight and tried to put out the flames.
"Stop it! Stop burning up the ship!" Chirithy told the priest, as he and Chopper, in Heavy Point form again, tried to find a way to stop the fire from burning the ship down.
"Damn it!" Chopper cursed, as he grabbed hold of the mast, to his friend's shock.
"Chopper! What are you doing?! You'll burn!"
The man-reindeer didn't seem to care what happened to him, as he somehow managed to tear the mast off and tossed it overboard and into the clouds. Chirithy was amazed by Chopper's will and determination.
"You bastard... You bastard! Stop it already!" Chopper told the priest. "We're in charge of this ship! They asked us to look after it!"
The priest seemed to be lost in thought. "Well, what should we do, Fuza?" he asked his bird. "He says not to harm their friends. He says not to damage the ship. He says he doesn't want to die. What a dilemma. They really irk me, those damn selfish animals."
With Guthrie's group, the four walked across a large tree trunk to continue investigating Upper Yard.
"Hey, Nami! Get a move on!" Zoro told the navigator in front of him, while Robin and Guthrie were in front of them.
"Shut up! Don't talk to me right now!" Nami shouted. "What'll you do if I fall?!"
"Is there ever a time where you don't complain about something so small?" Guthrie demanded. "I swear, if I hear another complaint from your mouth, I'll kick you off so we can have some silence!"
Before Nami could retort to his claim, a pair of Sky Sharks suddenly jumped out of the clouds from both side, seemingly to eat them. Nami instantly freaked and slipped, falling to the White Sea. Both Guthrie and Zoro took out their blades and each killed a shark. Both now-dead man-eating fish fell back into the sea they came. Seeing that the danger had passed, both guys put away their weapons.
"Hey! You okay?" Zoro half-heartedly asked, as Guthrie continued to walk across the trunk.
"Yeah... Somehow..." Nami answered, saved from Robin's Devil Fruit powers.
"What do you say?" Guthrie then asked, watching as the navigator shakily crawled back to their level.
"My apologies... for troubling you so often..."
"Not what I was looking for, but close enough." Guthrie looked back at Robin and saw the woman stopped in her track, staring at something. "What's wrong, Robin?"
"Did you see a God?" Zoro asked.
"No... A well," she answered.
"A well?" Nami repeated in a questioned tone, as the archeologist went towards the well with the male Keyblade wielder by her side.
*BACK TO CHIRITHY AND CHOPPER*
"The ship... Your friends... Yourselves... You don't want to lose any of those?" the priest questioned, charging at his 'sacrifices' with his weapon. Both managed to avoid the stab again. "If you both want to love so much, why are you both weak?!" He pushed his spear deeper into the ship's railing.
"Stop it! That spear burns things!" Chopper pleaded. As if on cue, the ship was set on fire again. The priest jumped back as soon as the fire started, and Chopper tried to put it out once more.
"Why you!" Chirithy jumped at the spear wielder in an attempt to attack him, only to be avoided as the guy jumped to higher ground.
"So you two are trying to live... without sacrificing anything?" he asked.
'What's with him?! It's like he can predict my and Chopper's movements!' Chirithy thought. At this time, Chopper managed to put out the fire.
"For someone to live, another must die," the priest said. "That's how life is." Both the Dream Eater and the Devil Fruit user glared at him as he said that. "Did you know this is the sacrificial altar?"
"Y-Yeah. We heard something like that," Chopper said.
"It's true. The rest of your group is desperately trying to get here. There are four separate areas that we, the priests, govern. The rules are that if the targets are in one area, the other priests aren't suppose to do anything to the targets. But this sacrificial altar doesn't belong in any of the four areas. In other words, it's a free area. So it doesn't matter who strikes the one at the altar. But it should be after those who are receiving the ordeal in some area die."
Both members of the Straw Hat gasped as they heard that. "Then Xion-nee and the others-!" Chopper spoke.
"Don't freak out. My coming here doesn't mean your friends' deaths... unfortunately... I came here for a different reason."
"What different reason?" Chirithy asked.
"Hang on! Does that mean that if Xion-nee and the others get here, then we can get out of here?!" the ship's doctor asked.
"Yeah, that's right," the priest confirmed. "If you can get out of the free area. But hold that thought. The reason I came here is because, although those are the normal judgement rules, when there's an exceptional situation, the rules change a little."
"Exceptional?"
"Like what?"
"For example, when four sacrifices escaped to the forest over there without permission using the vines."
The two nodded in understanding, before realizing something off and odd about what he just said. Not that there was a mistake in what he said, but there was something funny about it. The two then recalled Zoro, Robin, Nami and Guthrie leaving via vine and right at the direction the priest pointed to.
'IT'S HIS FAULT!' both mentally shouted, referring to Zoro since it was his idea to leave in the first place.
*BACK TO GUTHRIE'S TEAM*
Guthrie and Robin walked closer to the well to inspect it. As they walked, they could hear Nami and Zoro talking behind their backs, mainly the former complaining about the hardships she had to go through.
"I question how Xion managed with someone like her," Guthrie muttered.
"Why are you irritated with our navigator?" Robin asked.
"Because it's a waste of breath to always complain about what might happen, when it might not. If she hasn't grown a pair from all the adventures she had to deal with up till now, then why doesn't she just give up and go back home?! It's like I said; Life's tough, but you have to overcome it all in order to keep moving forward with your life! I'm trying to do that..."
Robin nodded in understanding with what he said. Especially since she's trying to overcome her own life.
*AGAIN TO CHIRITHY AND CHOPPER*
The two trembled in fear as the priest continued his explanation. "Someone has to die to atone for the others' escaping. Sacrifice is a fact of life. Especially if they are to return, in order that they can deeply realize their own fault when they see their own friends' death. Now offer your life... to God!" He took out his spear again and shot himself down at the two.
Chopper clenched his fist and threw a punch, not wanting to die, while Chirithy cowered in fear.
Seeing his friend fight despite the zero-chance in winning made the Dream Eater look down on himself in disappointment. 'If only... If only I can fight...' he thought.
"You first, reindeer," he heard the priest said. Looking back up, he saw Chopper now in a chokehold by the guy. "Die."
"Stop it!" Chirithy shouted.
Before he could stab his spear down, he seemed to have sensed someone coming. From above, a familiar figure clashed his own spear with the priest's.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting," the new arrival apologized.
"Sky Knight!" Chopper cried out.
"Heh. Looks like a surprise guest showed up," the priest stated, pushing Gan Fall away from him. The sky knight landed on the back of his bird, safe from the shark-infested cloud. In turn, the aviator priest jumped on his own bird and began an aerial battle between the two.
Meanwhile, with Xion's group, they were all weakened from the battle against Satori. No matter what they do, the guy kept on easily avoiding their attacks and either used his palm technique or knocked one of his balls into them. The boys were all down and Xion could barely stay on her feet.
"Impressive indeed," the round priest commented. "Well, then, as a reward, I'll give you my prized finishing blow! Hoh hoo!"
"'Finishing blow'?" Xion repeated. Her eyes widened as some of the balls started to form together.
"Surprise Balls! Ball Dragon!"
By this time, the boys all regained conscious and saw what was going on.
"What? It's all surprise balls bunched together," Luffy said like it wasn't anything special. "Are we suppose to be surprise by that?"
"Idiot! It's because it's all surprise balls bunched together that we should be careful!" Xion shouted.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"You should listen to the girl," Satori advised. "All these surprise balls are explosives and have sharp weapons."
Usopp gasped as he realized what it meant. "What?! Then that means..."
"You touch the fire-bomb ball somewhere on its body, it's game over. One explosion will set off another and its gigantic body will instantly cause a huge explosion! Surprise Balls! Go, Ball Dragon!" His ball dragon charged at the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Everyone avoid it!" Xion shouted, already running away from the thing's path.
"Gomu Gomu no..." she started to hear, causing her to skid to a stop as she turned and saw a certain idiot prepared to land a punch on it. "Pistol!"
"Wait, stop Luffy!" Thankfully for her, Usopp went and stopped their captain from killing them all. "Didn't you hear Xion?! Whatever you do, don't touch it! If you lay even one finger on it, we'll be blown to bits!"
Luffy irritatedly pushed the sniper off him. "Then how do we beat it if we can't hit it?!" he demanded.
"This is not the time to be fighting that thing, you idiot! Our only option is to run!" Xion shouted. She looked back and saw the Ball Dragon coming back to them. "It's coming back!" She and the two boys ran for their lives once more.
"So we can only run?!"
"Isn't that obvious?!" Xion looked behind her and saw Satori's secret weapon closing in. "It's catching up! Jump! Aeroga!" While Luffy and Usopp jumped to avoid the Ball Dragon, Xion used her wind magic to avoid the fake, round beast.
She landed safely on a tree branch and sighed in slight relief. An explosion was heard and Xion saw the two boys lying on the ground, slightly more burnt.
"Hoh hoh hoo! You quite are stubborn ones," Satori stated. "But if you died before you experienced the power of the Ball Dragon, it wouldn't be fun."
Meanwhile, elsewhere on Sky Island, there is a village hidden in the clouds near Upper Yard. Running right across the village on the clouds was a little girl wearing a fur dress and a cap. She stopped and looked around, checking to see if there was anyone nearby, before jumping down one spot on the cloud. In doing so, she had arrived at her hidden village.
"Aisa!" came a voice, catching her by surprise. "Where have you been?"
"Ah! Kamakiri!" the girl, Aisa gasped.
Kamakiri was a mohawk guy wearing red-lens sunglasses, red fur vest, and a grass skirt. He was polishing some daggers, holding one in his mouth by the back of the blade.
"Upper Yard again? That's Vearth in your bag, isn't it?" Kamakiri guessed. "Don't go there too often or you'll lose your life."
Aisa stuck her tongue out at the guy. "Don't tell me what to do! You haven't been able to beat Eneru yet! And Allen-nii always gets to go up there and he isn't even allowed to fight with you guys!"
Kamakiri stopped polishing his daggers at her claims. He was about to tell her off, when he saw her run off. "That damn brat. And not only that, the outsider went up again? Well, better him than any of us."
Aisa kept running until she reached a tent. Before she could sneak in, a big guy wearing a hat big enough to cover half his head walked out. "Aisa," he called, surprising her enough for her to fall on her behind.
"What?! I didn't go to Upper Yard!" she quickly assumed.
"Don't go into the tent yet," he calmly told her. "Wyper, or rather, the man descended from the Great Warrior Calgara, is angry."
Aisa saw his point and calmed herself. "Yeah. That is scary," she said, looking at a statue nearby. It was one of a man, most likely the Great Warrior Calgara. "He's scarier than God."
"Yeah. By the way, have you seen Allen?"
"Huh? He's not here?" she asked.
"No. Knowing him though, he's probably doing his outsider thing. Man, I know he's his cousin and all, but I question why Wyper bothered having him join us in our upcoming fight."
Aisa looked at him in confusion. "Huh? I thought he wasn't going to fight with you guys."
"That's what we want. Wyper, on the other hand, wants the outsider to fight alongside us. All he's going to do is get in our way with how he does things."
Aisa looked down in thought at what he said. 'They don't want Allen-nii to join? But why? And why is he always an outsider to them?'
Back to Chopper and Chirithy, both small members of the Straw Hat pirates watched as Gan Fall and Shura exchanged blows.
"They both move so fast," the latter said, for the warriors both clashed a bit too fast for them to follow.
"It's awesome," the former commented in awe.
"I no longer think I can negotiate with your group!" Gan Fall shouted, as he was back on Pierre's back.
"You're as soft as ever!" the priest he fought stated.
Both got off their birds and clashed spears once more. They were back on their rides and soared through the air. Both passed each other, but Gan Fall managed to wound the priest. Suddenly, for some reason, he and Pierre stayed in mid air, unmoving. Both Chopper and Chirithy were shocked at the development while the priest let out a laugh.
"Is there something wrong, Gan Fall?!" he mocked.
"What did you do?!" he demanded.
'Why? Why can't we move?!' Gan Fall wondered.
"You won't need the answer... in death," the priest said. He stabbed his spear through the Sky Knight. Both Shopper and Chirithy whimpered in shock at the turnaround. "Profound mystery... String Ordeal. You can enter Upper Yard, but you have to face difficult ordeals from us, the four priests! Don't think we can be beaten so easily!" Removing his weapon from Gan Fall, the Sky Knight fell to the cloud below. "God Eneru is... someone who is glorious and distant."
"S-... Sky Knight!" Chopper cried out, as the fallen hit the waters. "We have to save them!" Chopper was about to jump into the clouds, when Chirithy pulled him back.
"Don't, Chopper! If you go down there, you'll drown!" he said.
"But we have to do something!"
"I'll go get him then!" Before Chopper could say anything, the Dream Eater jumped into the clouds below.
"Chirithy!" he cried out.
"Oh? So instead of waiting for me to kill one of you, he decided to jump off and be eaten by sharks instead," the priest said. "Either way, that Paramecia's life will be offered to God Eneru! Now as for you, how about you follow your friend?" Chopper looked up as the priest's bird breathed out flames at him, causing the Devil Fruit user to jump away from the attack. Thankfully, Merry wasn't burned this time, but Chopper was now falling into the cloud.
Pierre looked on in shock at what had just occurred.
"You're a Zoan, too, aren't you?" the priest asked the bird. Pierre looked behind him and saw the aviator ready to strike him down. "Go join your master." With that, the bird was sent into the cloud with Gan Fall and the two Straw Hats.
"Ah, how absurd. I can't believe how weak they all are," the priest said. "If this was a bottomless river, there'd still have been some hope. But unfortunately, this river does have a bottom. Now then, I wonder if those four escapees have already been hunted."
With the escapees in question, Robin was digging up information on the well. Guthrie was by her side, watching her make her discovery.
"Is that well that strange?" he asked.
"Yes. It is unbelievable that a well would be stuck underneath a tree," she explained, as one of her many arms brought up a vile of small amount of what seemed like dirt or muddy water. "The balance between civilization and nature here seems off."
"Well in any case, unless if we come up with a way to cross this cloud river, we can't walk around this forest," Zoro said. "We're far from meeting God."
"The civilization couldn't estimate the growth of this tree," Robin added. "I've never seen a case like this before."
"Oi, Nami! Can you see anything from up there?!" Zoro called out to the navigator, who sat far high up on a tree branch, looking around their current location. "Hey! Say something! Did you find God?!"
"You really want to challenge him, don't you?" Guthrie questioned.
"I wonder if Nami saw something," Robin said, noticing that the girl hasn't moved from her spot, still looking at one direction with her binoculars.
From up above, Nami finally let down her binoculars, her face filled with shock. "This island... It can't be..."
Back to Xion's group, they were having a hard time with Satori's Ball Dragon and surprise balls. Xion and the boys were practically down from the explosive balls or exhaustion.
"Hoh hoh hoo! Hoh hoh hoo! You're pretty much dead. Hurry up and rest in peace. I'm a priest, you can never win," Satori claimed.
"I-I can't take it anymore!" Usopp managed to say. "My heart can't take any more surprises."
"Soon you'll be out of options. You're boat has nearly reached this forest's exit. When that happens, it's all over. So long as you can't fly like birds, you won't be able to get out of here. You'll wander around this forest and die from exhaustion! Hoh hoo!"
"That won't... happen!" Luffy shouted, getting back up and throwing another Pistol at the round opponent.
Satori smoothly avoided the strike. "But it will. Go, Surprise Balls!" At his command, his dragon chased after Luffy once more. "Now it's showtime! Which one is the fire-bomb ball? Touch it and there'll be an astonishing huge explosion!"
While he was talking, Xion took out a Dream Eater card and whispered something into it. Not only that, but Usopp ran away from the scene.
Luffy saw a tree up ahead and thought about running up to escape the dragon.
"Oh? Climbing up that tree to escape, are you?" Satori mind-read.
"Why can he read my mind?! Don't follow me!" the pirate captain demanded, running up the tree and was about to go over the dragon, when he felt himself cling onto something.
Satori felt himself being yanked from his cane. "What?!"
Luffy took a good look at what he held on to and connected the dots. "Oh, I see. This thing's being controlled by this string. In that case, I'll break it!" With his brute strength, Luffy ripped the string in two, ceasing the priest's control over the Ball Dragon.
"I can't control Ball Dragon anymore! Impudent brat! Just hang on and come to me then!" Satori pulled Luffy closer to him. In doing so, however, since Luffy still had a tight grip on both strings, he was also dragging the Ball Dragon to his way. "Hey, don't hang on with the other hand too!" The next thing they knew, a huge explosion occurred.
Weapons of all kinds were embedded in trees or ground right where a big crater formed. Above the crater, covered in soot and panting, was Satori on a Surprise Ball. "That was close! What an unbelievable idiot!" he said. "No, he might've been determined to take me with him. This isn't good. I'm insufficiently trained! He took control of the pace for a second! If I can't stay calm over a little thing like this, it'll hinder my Mantra!"
"You're right!" he heard, to his great shock and surprise. "That was close!" He looked around to try and locate the voice but couldn't find the source.
He looked behind him and saw Luffy clinging onto his back, more specifically his wings. "You're still alive?! Get off of me! You idiot! Don't stick to me, you weirdo!" Satori tried to get Luffy off of his wings.
"Don't let him go, Luffy," came Sanji's voice.
"Keep a good hold on him, captain," followed Xion's.
"Oh, Sanji! Xion! You're both still alive?" Luffy asked.
"WE ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! PAY MORE ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS!"
"YOU IDIOT! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! YOU'RE LUCKY I HAVE A SPELL THAT PROTECTED US FROM THAT BLAST!"
Calming themselves from the near-death experience, they both got back to the matter at hand.
"In any case, doughboy..." Sanji lit up a cigarette and breathed some smoke out. "You keep saying 'ordeal this', 'ordeal that', but frankly it's got nothing to do with us. However, we accept that stupid sky ordeal. The reason is because there are two helpless ladies waiting for me to rescue them. In other words... yes... This is... the ordeal of love!"
'Is he an idiot too?!' Satori mentally questioned.
"Ahh! I said get off of me!" he panicked, still trying to get Luffy off of him. An idea then came to him. "Oh, that's right! If you let me go, I'll let this ordeal slide and take you to your boat! You can't get out of here without it after all!"
"By boat... Do you mean that one over there?" Xion asked, pointing at a cloud river nearby. The boys turned and saw their very Crow tied by a vine to a tree near it.
"HUH?! When did you-?!" Satori was cut off when Gunma flew by, landing on Xion's raised arm.
"Well done, Gunma," she complimented. The owl Dream Eater puffed its chest out with pride.
Satori panicked as he saw nothing that could save him and resumed getting Luffy off him, when the rubberman wrapped his legs around him. "Ah! D-Dammit! Let me go! You guys are playing dirty, attacking three- no, four on one!"
Sanji blew another smoke. "You creeps kidnapped out friends. You made a cute angel cry and tried to kill her. You have no right to say that we play dirty."
"Well, even if you didn't do that, you seem to have forgotten something," Xion added. "We're pirates. Who says we have to play fair?"
"They're both right," Luffy agreed. "It's amazing that you can predict our every moves. But even if you can predict them, it doesn't mean anything if you can't avoid them, does it?" Satori was sweating uncontrollably when the straw hat boy asked that.
"I-Idiots! Stop it! I'm one of the priests that serves God! Let me go! Hey, are you listening?!" he demanded, freaking out even more as Sanji and Xion's ball floated closer to them. "Not being judged by a priest is a first degree crime in Skypeia! Now listen here! Attacking me means you declare war on Almighty God Eneru!"
"Shut your mouth! Or the flavor will escape," Sanji told him. "For example, when you want to produce the supreme mignonnette from pepper, the important thing is to strongly, roughly, and without hesitation, beat it to pulp." Both he and Xion leapt into the air. "Then the wonderful flavor confined inside will be..." Sanji started to flip over rapidly, with Xion giving him a boost with her Aero.
"Ahhh! Ahhh! Stop it!" Satori begged. "Stop it! It's gonna hurt! Stop it!"
In the end, though, Sanji's hard heel hit hard on the priest's head. "Concasse!" The attack was strong enough to break Satori's glasses and forced a couple of teeth out, as well as leaving his head a bloody mess.
