A.n I own Nothing

Lately I have been getting a lot of questions about the story, manlily about potential relationships between members of the Straw Hat crew. I would like to address this now.

I will not be paring up anyone from the Straw Hats, so for those of you who were hoping to see Luffy/Nami or Zoro/Sanji this will not be happing. I personally am not a big fan of shipping stories and would like to keep this one close to the original material as possible. If I was going to pair anyone up it would be Connor.

However I have no immediate plans to do so, perhaps later on I will consider it but as of right now all characters shall remain single and if some interest is expressed by one of the crew it is purely so the others can tease and make fun of that character.

I hope this dose not put you off reading my Fic.

As always, Please Review


Upper ruins, next to Giant Jack

Connor and Robin were watching the sky as it slowly grew dark and filled up with thick black storm clouds. Behind them were the unconscious forms of Wiper, Gan Fall, Zoro and Chopper. Thanks to Robins powers both she and Connor had been able to get their fallen friends to safety and climb back up the large bean stalk to the upper and what would be considered ground Level of Upper Yard.

Not long after they had finished the climb a large ship had ascended into the sky and thick black smoke had come out of the chimney and began to spread into the sky as the ship ascended. But it soon became clear it was not smoke as the air became moisturised and it felt like it was going to rain.

"Why is the sky going black?" Connor asked.

"Enel is probably going to use it to destroy this island," Robin answered.

"Oh…so Luffy was unable to stop him," Connor said sadly.

Robin was about to respond however something burst out of cloud beneath them and ran up the beanstalk. It was Luffy; he was carrying Aisa and Pierre. He had a huge golden ball attached to his wrist and despite the fact it would be very heavy and be putting a considerable strain on his arm Luffy was running up the beanstalk at top speed.

"Luffy?" Robin gasped.

"Is that…gold on his arm?" Connor asked "where did he get that?"

Luffy didn't notice his friends but thankfully Aisa did and she alerted him to them. Luffy stopped running and looked down to see both Robin and Connor staring up at him.

"Robin take care of these two," Luffy ordered and threw Aisa and Pierre down to her.

Robin caught both of them with her powers which freaked Aisa out.

"AGHHHH SHE GREW ARMS!" Aisa screamed.

"Where's Enel?!" Luffy demanded.

"Up there," Robin said and pointed to Enel's ark was slowly gaining altitude, she was clearly ignoring Aisa.

"The gold Bell, is it up there too?" Luffy asked.

"Yes, it's the only place it could be. I do not believe that Enel has it yet," Robin claimed.

"Right, thanks Robin," Luffy said and ran up further up the bean stalk.

"Luffy wait," Robin tired but the rubber captain was already gone.

Once he was gone Robin looked down at Aisa who was still freaking out that Robin had grown extra arms.

"Now, could you tell me where our Navigator is?" Robin asked "she has orange hair,"

This seemed to snap Aisa out of her shock.

"Oh you mean Nami, she was on Enel's ship," Aisa claimed.

Aisa turned and looked up at the ship but became confused.

"That's odd, I only hear one voice coming from the ship," Aisa claimed.

"One voice?" Robin asked in confusion.

"Aisa here has the same power as the priests and Enel," Connor explained "she can use Mantra,"

"I see," Robin said in understanding "Is Nami's voice coming from the sky?"

"No…I only hear Enel up there," Aisa supplied.

"Only Enel?" Connor asked and he looked up at the ship "then…where's Nami?"

Before Asia could answer a lightning bolt struck the ground nearby. Robin looked at the now charred bit of cloud and then at the sky, she could see flashes of lighting in the dark sky above.

"Oh no..." Robin whispered.

"Robin…what's wrong?" Connor asked.

"Enel's plan has started," Robin claimed gravely "It won't be long now,"

"Then we have to leave while we can," Aisa claimed.

"We can't, Luffy just went ran up the beanstalk, Nami's missing and we won't get back to the ship in time…even if we didn't have to carry them," Robin claimed and looked down at the unconses men.

"So….what do we do?" Connor asked.

Before Robin could respond an engine was herd coming towards them, the engine turned out to be Nami's Waver with her, Usopp and an unconces Sanji riding on it. Usopp called out to them as they approached. She stopped in front of the group and Usopp got off the waver and lay Sanjiss body near Zoros.

"Nami, you're okay," Asia cheered.

"Asia, Connor," Nami said happy to see that the children were alright. She then looked at Robin.

"Robin I'm glad you're okay but we need to leave now, where's Luffy?" Nami asked.

"You just missed him, he ran up the beanstalk with this huge golden ball attached to his arm," Connor claimed.

"Huge…golden ball? Where did he get that?" Nami asked.

"I don't know but he left a minute ago," Robin said.

Nami looked up at the bean stalk and the dark clouds, she could tell by the atmosphere that things were very bad and it was only going to get worse.

"Alright, I'll go and get him, the rest of you hurry and get back to the ship. I'll grab Luffy and be right behind you," Nami claimed.

"Nami…what's going to happen?" Connor asked.

"Those dark clouds…will produce a lightning storm," Nami claimed "However instead of rain lighting will fall almost no stop, we have to leave before it gets any worse,"

"L…L…Lightings going to fall like rain?" Usopp asked terrified.

"Yes," Nami claimed and a bolt of lighting struck the forest as she said that.

Nami then aimed her waver at the beanstalk and floored the accelerator; she sped towards and followed the beanstalk upwards. The rest of the crew watched her go.

Connor looked at Usopp.

"Why didn't you and Sanji stay on the ship?" Connor asked.

"Oh…after we woke up Sanji claimed that Nami needed him, he grabbed me and dragged me running through the forest. We went up to Enel's ark to save Nami but got beaten again and jumped off to escape," Usopp said.

"You jumped off….from that height?" Connor asked and looked up at the ark.

"It was lower when we jumped off but…Oh MY GOD I WAS TERREIFED!" Usopp cried "I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!"

"BUT NO FALL COULD STOP THE BRAVE CAPTIAN USOPP!" Usopp declared and laughed loudly. Though his knees were shaking and it was obvious he was still terrified.

'He's fine,' Connor and Robin thought together.

Just then both Zoro and Wiper woke up, Aisa ran to wipers side and helped him sit up, Usopp did the same with Zoro. Both warriors looked around confused and then noticed that both children from their respective groups were safe and sound.

"Aisa…you're alive?" Wiper asked in surprise "how? The snake ate you and then Enel's lighting…"

Aisa nodded.

"We did get eaten but…I don't know what happened, when we got out the snake was all charred and black," Asia claimed.

"But those pirates …have been looking after me," Aisa said and looked over at the Straw Hats.

Wiper looked over to the pirates and he could see that Zoro was having a similar conversation with Connor and Robin. Zoro noticed Wiper staring at them and met his gaze, he then looked at Connor.

"So…you and that tribal girl huh, I approve," Zoro joked.

"That's…That's not how it is," Connor shouted in annoyance while blushing.

"You're blushing," Robin teased.

"I am not," Connor shot back.

Zoro smirked and then looked up at the dark clouds and the lighting that was falling.

"Hey what happened to the sky?" Zoro asked.

Robin explained what Enel was doing and that he was currently in the process of all of Skypiea, despite the situation Luffy had run off to the top of the beanstalk to face Enel again and how the golden bell was at the top of the beanstalk.

This information surprised Wiper as he had grown up on legends on the golden bell that his people lost when they first arrived in the sky. Many Shadorins believed it did not exist and was only a legend. Gan Fall was also surprised as he believed the bell had not rung because of the ongoing war with the Shandorins; not because no one knew where the bell was.

"So that's what's going on," Zoro said, he then sent a weary glance at Aisa.

"Hey girl, what happened to Luffy the first time? Did Enel knock him out?" Zoro asked.

"Huh…no, he just attached some gold to him and then pushed him off the Ark," Aisa answered.

'So that means the kid is still safe…for now anyway,' Zoro thought.

"HEY SOMTHINGS COMEING DOWN, GET WAY FROM THE BEANSTALK!" Usopp suddenly cried.

The group moved and as soon as they did a huge part of of the beanstalk crashed into the ground, when the dust cleared the Straw Hats stared at it in shock.

"What…What is that?" Zoro asked.

"It looks…like the top of the beanstalk," Robin claimed.

"How did it get down here?" Connor asked.

"Perhaps it was struck by lightning," Gan Fall suggested.

"It's more like Enel hit it to take Luffy out," Robin claimed.

"What? Luffy and Nami didn't fall with it did they?" Usopp panicked and looked around.

"If they did they would have hit the ground by now," Robin said.

Wiper stared at the beanstalk and then looked up at the sky, the fact that Enel had broken the top of the beanstalk meant that he did not want anyone following him to the golden bell.

"I…I have to go," Wiper said and started to walk towards the beanstalk, however he did not get far.

"Wiper stop, your hurt," Aisa tried.

"No, it's up there," Wiper claimed "the golden bell is up there, it has to be rung,"

"Why?" Asia asked.

"So we can get our homeland back. It was the Shandoran tribe's duty to protect and ring the bell;" Wiper claimed "we have failed in that for the last 400yrs,"

"Even so…you can't climb the beanstalk, you can barely stand," Aisa urged.

"Uh…Aisa…I think we have bigger problems," Connor said fearfully.

Aisa and Wiper looked over to the boy and saw that he was staring upwards; they looked up and saw a giant round sphere of dark clouds descending from the sky. It crackled with electrical energy and it was directly above Angel Island.

"W…What is that?!" Wiper yelled.


God's Shrine, near the top of Giant Jack

Luffy and Nami were at what was left of gods shrine, it wasn't much as the former home of both Enel and Gan Fall was in complete ruins and judging form the destruction that had been done it was clear that Enel was responsible for it.

Luffy stared out into the storm and watched as the giant sphere of clouds descended to Angel Island and when it was right above it, the spheres exploded. Unleashing an enormous and devastating amount of lighting that could only be described as divine wrath.

It was so destructive that not only did it destroy Angel Island, the surrounding White Sea but the Shandorin's hidden village as well. When it was over there was nothing but a large hole in the clouds that were charged with electricity.

Nami stared at the destruction that Enel had caused, she then looked around and noted that the lighting falling form the sky had not only increased it's intensity but also were becoming more and more frequent.

"Luffy, we have to go we're out of time," Nami claimed.

"No," Luffy said seriously.

"No? Luffy we don't have time for this, if we don't get leave and get back to the ship we'll be killed," Nami said.

"We can't leave yet, I still have something to do," Luffy claimed.

"What could you possibly have to do here?" Nami asked.

Luffy turned to her.

"You saw it right? You saw the city of gold. It's not at the bottom of the sea," Luffy claimed.

"Gold…Luffy I fo you want gold you have plenty on your arm," Nami claimed.

"I don't want gold…I want to ring the bell," Luffy declared.

"Why? Enel's probably found it by now, even if you're not affected by his lighting you'll never get up to him," Nami claimed.

"That bell is supposed to be huge, and we're above Jaya. If it's rung than the Cricket and his monkeys will hear it. They'll know that Noland wasn't a liar, they'll know that the city of gold dose exist," Luffy claimed.

"Why dose that matter?" Nami asked.

"Because if they don't hear it then they'll keep diving into the ocean until they die," Luffy claimed "they'll die Nami and they would have died for nothing, I can't let Enel have that bell,"

Nami stared at Luffy for a moment and then sighed.

"Even so…Enel's too high up," Nami claimed.

She looked up at the ark, it had stopped near one of the larger clouds and was trying to think of way to get up there, she knew Luffy would not leave until he got what he wanted. Suddenly she had an idea.

'If the ark doesn't move….it might be possible…' Nami thought.

"Alright Luffy, I'll help you get up there…but we do it my way," Nami said.

"Huh…what's your way?" Luffy asked.

Nami merely smirked in response.


Upper Ruins, Ground Level Base of Giant Jack

The Straw Hats were still at the base of the beanstalk, Usopp was trying to get them all to leave and return to this ship, after seeing the giant ball of storm clouds explode it made sense to flee while they still could.

However no one seemed to want to move or go anywhere, the realty was that even if they did make it back to the ship they would not escape back to the Blue Sea before Enel completely destroyed the sky and none of them were willing to leave Luffy and Nami behind.

Suddenly something large floated down towards the group.

"Hey…something's coming down," Usopp claimed.

The group backed up in case it was another part of the beanstalk but what fell was a giant leaf with a message written on it in Namis hand writing.

"Cut the beanstalk," it read, there was also a small a small compasses points drawn with the W circled.

"Wait…Nami wants us to cut the beanstalk down?" Usopp asked confused "why?"

"I don't know but judging by this she likely wants it to fall in a certain direction," Robin observed.

"So which part would I have to cut it to make it fall in that direction?" Zoro asked.

"This side," Robin claimed and showed Zoro the correct side.

"Right, better get too it," Zoro said.

However before he could draw his sword lighting struck the ground in front of him. In fact it seemed to increase and create holes leading back down to the lost city.

"We have to go, were too exposed here," Usopp cried.

"Everyone get back to solid vearth," Gan fall ordered.

The group ran for the forest and once they were there lighting stopped, it was clear that enel knew why Nami wanted the beanstalk cut down and he was not going to let it happen. Usopp took a hesitant step back on to the clouds and lightning struck again.

"Enel…doesn't want us near Giant Jack," Gan Fall observed.

"Why would Straw Hat want the beanstalk cut down anyway?" Wiper asked.

"Perhaps…perhaps Nami plans to launch the waver off the beanstalk while it's falling as a way to get to Enel," Robin theorised.

"Is that possible?" Connor asked.

"In theory yes and if the falling beanstalk will cover at least half the distance between the ark and where we are…if the Waver is fast enough then it just might be able to reach Enel's ark," Robin answered.

"So all we have to do is slice that thing down," Zoro said.

"But how do we get there? Enel has Mantra, he can see and predict our every move…he can probably hear us talking," Wiper claimed.

"We'll just have to out run the lightning then," Zoro said seriously.

"You can't out run lighting," Usopp pointed out.

"Well…we might be able too," Aisa said.

"How?" Zoro asked.

"I have Mantara too…and I can hear everyone here…except him," Asia said and looked at Connor.

"What?" Wiper gasped "that's impossible,"

"I know but it's true, I can't hear him and if I can't hear him while he's standing right in front of me then I doubt Enel or his priests can either," Aisa claimed.

"Wait…Mantara doesn't work on me?" Connor asked.

Aisa shook her head.

"When Luffy confronted Enel he said that only three of us escaped the snake and when he asked about you Enel claimed that Luffy was trying to trick him into thinking that there were four of us," Aisa explained.

"Wait so…Enel doesn't know that Connor is here?" Usopp asked.

"Aisa…did all the priests have Mantra too?" Connor asked.

"Yes," Wiper answered.

"I see…this explains why Shuna was so surprised to see me when he attacked," Connor realised "he could not see me with his mantra and could not predict my moves,"

Connor looked back at the beanstalk.

"This means I could potently make it to the beanstalk without Enel knowing," Connor said.

"Hold on kid, I get what your thinking but that thing is too big and thick for you to cut down on your own," Zoro said.

"He's right plus even if Enel can't see you with his Mantra you could still get hit by stray lightning bolts," Usopp pointed out.

"Not if Enel was directing them," Wiper claimed.

"Meaning?" Connor asked.

"If Enel was directing the lighting away from him…he could make it too Giant Jack safety," Wiper claimed.

"And just how do you plan on directing lighting controlled by a raging psychopath with a massive god complex?" Usopp asked.

"Simple…live bait," Wiper said.

"I see…we give Enel a target to aim his lighting at while the kid runs towards the beanstalk," Zoro said.

"But if Enel hits the target, the lighting will go back to being wild," Robin stated.

"Not if there were multiple targets," Zoro said.

"And who would be dumb enough to be a distraction for Enel?" Usopp asked.

Wiper and Zoro looked at him.

"I AM NOT GOING!" Usopp screamed.

"Yes you are, we all are," Zoro said seriously "Wiper you and I will run to the beanstalk giving Enel something to shoot at. The kid can't bring that beanstalk down on his own, we are going to race Enel's lighting and if we get there we are going to bring that thing down or die trying,"

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Usopp claimed.

"You do realise if we do nothing Enel will destroy us all anyway," Robin pointed out.

"Stop being so morbid," Usopp shouted.

"She's right," Gan Fall agreed "if anything doing this may save us all,"

"If you're so willing to go then you be the bait," Usopp shot back.

"I am an old man, I would never make it to the bean stalk," Gan Fall claimed.

"Face it Usopp your coming," Zoro said.

"Ughh…fine," Usopp sighed.

Zoro nodded and looked at Connor.

"We'll run out and you follow three seconds later," Zoro said.

Connor nodded.

"Before you go, don't draw your sward until you're at the beanstalk," Robin advised "otherwise it will act as a lightning rod and Enel won't have to direct the lighting towards you,"

"Got it," Zoro acknowledged.

He then looked at the others.

"Ready?" he asked.

Connor and Wiper nodded.

"No," Usopp responded.

"Tough, let's go," Zoro said and he ran out onto of the forest.

As soon as he did lighting started to strike, thankfully Zoro was able to doge the bolts, thought there were a few close calls. Wiper followed Zoro running on the opposite side and quite far away from the Blue Sea swordsmen; Usopp ran out as well at top speed.

Connor waited a few seconds before he too ran out towards the beanstalk, like Aisa had predicated none of the lighting fell near him, it appeared Enel could not see him with his Mantara. The lighting continued to strike at Zoro, Usopp and Wiper though there were brief intervals between each strike.

'Enel must only be able to aim one strike at a time,' Robin thought as she watched from the relative safety of the forest.

The first one to reach the beanstalk was Zoro and he leapt over the large hole that led down to the Lost city and sliced the first half of the beanstalk away, despite losing half its support Giant Jack still remained sturdy and up right.

Unfortunately since Zoro was now in the air he could no longer doge the lighting strikes and he was hit by a blast of lighting and fell down towards the lower levels of the ruins.

The next person to reach the Giant Jack was Usopp and he had seen Zoro fall, he got into position and started shooting flaming ammo at Giant Jack, he kept moving to avoid the lightning bolts. Unfortunately his attacks did very little and Enel struck him down him down too.

Connor reached the beanstalk and using the part that Zoro had cut as a ledge he launched himself at the beanstalk and sliced the remaining half with his blade. Unfortunately he was not enough and only made a quarter of the way through. Giant Jack moaned and swayed a bit but it did not fall.

"No…I'm not strong enough," Connor said.

He was about to try again when Wiper landed nest to him, the Shandoran warrior grabbed Connor by the shirt and throw him of the Giant jack and Connor landed back on the cloud layer. Wiper placed is hand on Giant Jack.

"REJECT!" Wiper yelled and he activated his Reject Dial.

The following explosion was enough to break Giant Jack and it started to fall towards the west, Wiper was launched backwards and fell towards the lost city below.

Connor looked at up at the beanstalk that was now falling in the correct direction.

"It's all up to you now Luffy," Connor said.


Gods Shrine, Top of Giant Jack

Nami and Luffy were waiting for the beanstalk to fall, they were ready to go and it had been several minutes since Nami had sent her message down to the other Straw Hats, she hoped they got it. While they were waiting a second black Sphere had started too descend from the sky, this time over Upper Yard.

It was five times the size of the one that had destroyed Angel Island and likely five times as more powerful. Nami knew that this was for destroying Upper yard and the sky completely; it also meant that Enel had found the golden bell as he was now ready to destroy the sky.

"Come on…." Nami hissed "What's taking them so long?"

Suddenly Giant Jack began to move, Nami took it as a sign as the rest of the crew had managed to cut down the giant beanstalk.

"Nami Go as fast as you can," Luffy ordered.

"Right, just so you know I've never used the Wavers top speed before…I don't know if I can control it," Nami warned.

"Do it," Luffy ordered.

Nami nodded and floored the Accelerator and the waver took off at breakneck speed, it climbed the falling beanstalk and even though Luffy was dragging behind a golden ball the waver was not bothered by the extra weight.

Once they reached the top the Waver lunched into the air and it sailed towards Enel's Ark, however Nami and Luffy were still too low. Luffy could see Enel in front of the Golden Bell and he grabbed Namis shoulder.

"Nami…thanks," Luffy said.

Using the Waver as a step he jumped off it with all his strength sending both Nami and the waver back down to earth. Nami landed on a soft cloud and watched in horror as Luffy entered the Black Sphere.

"Luffy No…you may be immune to lighting but the pressure will tear you apart," Nami cried.

But it was too late Luffy had already entered. Nami herd Enel laugh at Luffys demise and the black sphere continued to descend. However it suddenly started discharging small bolts of lightning.

"What…why is that happing…it's to early for it to explode," Enel claimed.

Enel and Nami watched as the sphere continued to discharge and then Nami realised what was happening.

"Luffy…he used the golden ball to conduct the lightening into himself and disabled the currents," Nami gasped.


White Sea

The people of both Angel Island and the Shandorans were staring at the sky in complete terror, they had just seen their home completely destroyed by Enel black cloud Sphere and now a second and larger one had formed.

The inhabitants of Angel Island had all managed to evacuate in time thanks to Conis warning and when the first boats had passed the Shandoras village they had warned them too. Even though they had all gotten out they were in shock over the loss of their home.

Now that Enel was going to unleash a second large and more powerful strike that would wipe out the sky completely, the survivors who had only barely escaped the destruction of Angel island did the only thing they could.

They got on their knees and prayed for miracle.


Inside the Black speared Luffy was wildly swinging around the golden ball and drawing the lighting into his body, his actions were upsetting the delict nature of Enel's attack and the sphere slowly and surly started to shrink.

Luffy continued to swing his golden ball as the black sphere until the black sphere was completely destabilised and the stored energy discharged harmlessly into the clouds above Upper Yard. Once it was gone there was hole in the clouds bringing light to the darkness and Luffy was there in the middle of it.

And he was pissed.

"WWWHHHHAAAATTTTTTTTT?!" Enel screamed in shock. He knew Luffy was dangerous but he did not think that he would completely negate his black sphere of destruction.

"ENEL!" Luffy screamed in anger "I WON'T LET YOU HAVE IT!"

Luffy reeled back the arm with the golden ball on it and stretched it back as far as he would go twisting it around tightly.

"I…I…Impossible…your just a mortal…I am a god," Enel said in complete shock.

"I'M GOIN TO RING THAT BELL WITH YOUU!" Luffy screamed.

Luffy launched his attack at Enel and the weight of the golden ball drew him closer to the cloud with the bell, he smashed straight through Enel's Ark and hit the mad god in the gut. His rubber fist nullified Enel's Loiga form and the gold ball slammed into Enel.

Luffys arm twisted itself and the ball further into Enel causing massive damage and sending the god into a spin; Enel could not do anything to stop Luffy and the rubber man's fist kept going forcing Enel back until both Enel and the golden bell were sent flying into the air.

Luffy hit the bell with such force that it shattered the gold on his arm, as the bell fell with Enel it rang, producing the most beautiful sound anyone had ever heard.

"CAN YOU HEAR IT CRICKET…THE BELL IS RINGING, THE CITY OF GOLD IS IN THE SKY!" Luffy called out at the top of his lungs.


White Sea

The survivors were in shock they had all prayed for a miracle and that is exactly what they got. Not only had Enel's black sphere of death been stopped somehow but they had seen his ark be completely destroyed and Upper Yard was singing it's song.

A song that had not been herd in 400yrs.

For the Shandorans and the Angels this was truly a divine sign, after all the fighting, all the pain and loss, after everything Enel had done Upper Yard was finally singing again.

After 400yrs the war was finally over.


Crickets house Jaya, Grand Line

Cricket sat on the edge of the cape overlooking the ocean; it had been two days since he had sent the Straw Hats off to the sky. Cricket of course had no clue if they had made it or not and he should not really care but he could not help but worry about the pirate crew.

After Luffy and his crew had departed for the sky Shoujou and Masira had come back and informed them that the Straw Hats had made it to the knock up stream. The Saruyama Alliance had spent the last two days recovering from the injuries that Belemys Pirate crew had inflicted.

Now Cricket was enjoying a smoke while watching the ocean wondering if the Straw Hats had made it to the sky or had plummeted to their deaths.

"Boss, how are you feeling?" Masira asked as he and Shoujou approached.

"I'm good, I think I can start diving again tomorrow," Cricket claimed.

"That's good; I found an underwater series of tunnels on the north side of the island. I bet there's some gold in there," Shoujou said proudly "my men can't wait to explore it,"

"A series of underwater tunnels eh…sounds promising," Cricket agreed.

"Yep, we're getting the gear ready to go now," Masira claimed "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh I was just thinking about that Straw Hat kid, I hope he made it to the sky," Cricket claimed.

"He was interesting that's for sure," Masira agreed.

"Too bad we have no way of knowing if they made it or not," Shoujou said.

"Yeah, it is," Cricket agreed.

Suddenly a loud and beautiful sound was heard, it echoed thorough out the Island.

"What's that?" Shoujou asked.

"I don't know but it is beautiful," Masira commented "where is it coming from?"

Cricket froze; he looked around for the source but could not see anything that would make such a heavenly sound. He looked at the sea and the very waves had stilled as if the ocean itself was listing to the sound.

"I…I…It can't be," Cricket gasped.

"What…what is it boss?" both Shoujou and Masira asked at the same time.

"It's…It's Noland's bell…it has to be," Cricket claimed.

"Norland's bell…form the city of gold?" Masira gasped "But where's it coming from?"

"there is only one place it could be," Cricket said and looked up at the clouds.

There in the sky was a giant shadow monster, only it looked different from the ones that were normally seen, this one was a lot less menacing and no weapons or triable like features; instead this monstrous shadow had a Straw Hat.

"Well I'll be…they made it," Masira said in surprise.

"Yeah and it sounds like we've been looking in the wrong direction. This whole time, Eldardo, the city my ancestor discovered was in the sky," Cricket said.

He then broke down in tears of joy and happiness as he felt the weight of his family's name and curse being lifted.

Noland hadn't been lying after all.


On the opposite side of the Island Bellamy stood staring with wide eyes filled with admiration and surprise at the shadowy figure in the clouds.

"S…S…Straw Hat," Bellamy whispered.
