"Head for Upper Yard." Luffy shouted, standing on the bow of Vogue Merry.
However, despite the sails being extended, the boat did not budge an inch.
"Hey! Why aren't we moving forward?"
Watching the smoke from his cigarette come up in a straight line, Sanji asserted.
"There isn't a breath of wind here."
"We're above the clouds," Pagaya reminded them, who was standing beside the boat. "The turbulence you are used to experiencing on the blue sea is something rare here! The truth is, using your boat you may take some time to get to Upper Yard."
"Some time?" Usopp repeated. " What does it mean ? "
"There's no point in going over there with the Vogue Merry." Bruno said simply, hopping out of the boat. "Hey, Pagaya! Aren't there any big wavers here, or something that could help us navigate on the clouds?"
"Huh ... indeed, there are big boats that run on dial energy! But ... I don't have one and to rent one you would have to spend a real fortune."
Seeming to be relieved, Usopp sighed. On the contrary, Luffy began to growl.
"Hey, if we don't hurry, we'll never be able to go to this island, until Nami comes back."
"I don't want to go there," Usopp retorted. "An island where a god lives? I don't want to anger him."
Sitting on the Merry's floor, Loke laughed.
"I think we better not invite you into the spirit world! I can't even imagine what you look like when you see our king."
"You're just a coward," Virgo said, pointing to Usopp.
"Hey! If you're only here to curse me, you can go back to your world."
"Nami-swan!" Sanji cried, scanning the ocean, hoping he could find her. "Don't worry, I swear your knight will be here to save you soon."
"Is there any more to eat?" Gin questioned.
"SHUT UP ! "
For her part, stamping her foot against the ground, Raynare had her arms crossed, as she remembered the words of Conis and Pagaya.
" Is there a god here? No, it is impossible! This place is not Heaven! Our almighty lord cannot be here! However, I must not forget that we are in another world ! If so, a true god lives here! A man like the being who created me! And if so, he could ... he could ... "
"The god Enel?" Zoro repeated, starting to smile. " What's the problem ? "
Beginning to lay his hand on his sabers, he declared.
"If he decides to attack us, we'll just have to fight him.
"What?" Raynare wondered, raising her face.
"Don't you believe in god, Zoro?" Chopper asked him.
"No idea! To tell the truth, I don't care if he exists or not! But one thing is certain! Whether he is a human or a god, if he wants to kill me, I would be faster than him to skin it. "
In an instant, he took the saber out of its scabbard and in extremis blocked the end of a spear of light that nearly pierced his face. Now facing Zoro, Raynare was the one who tried to attack him. Not understanding what was happening, the other pirates saw Zoro use all his power to push Raynare, who was forced to do a back flip, before falling to her feet.
"BITCH!" Zoro roared. "What's the matter with you?"
"DAMNED!" Raynare roared. "BEAT A GOD? YOU? Are you completely stupid or what?"
Seeming to be shaking with fear, she declared.
"God… you don't know his power! You don't know anything about him! You don't know his powers! But I know. I know what he's capable of."
Staring at Zoro, she asserted.
"Even though I've become stronger, since I've been here, I know for a fact that I would get crushed like a gnat, in front of my creator! You might be stronger than me, but even the two of us ... . no, even if our entire crew decided to attack a true god, it wouldn't even take a minute for him to kill us all. "
Hearing this, Usopp and Yosaku swallowed their saliva, while other people also got scared, knowing that Raynare was the best person among them who could sum up the powers of a god.
"Don't say that kind of nonsense anymore." Raynare ordered. "Crocodile was a human and Luffy almost died against him three times! But the god of my world wouldn't even have considered Crocodile a threat and would just send one of his men to slaughter him! Honestly, don't understand- Don't you just how powerful he is if you compare him to a pathetic fallen angel like me? "
"What's pathetic is your lack of determination," Zoro retorted, putting away his sword.
" What ? "
"God is stronger than us? WOW! What a surprise! Honestly, all the people who believed in god kept telling me this when I was little! It must be said that if he really created the Earth, he must be, indeed, very strong! However, I still don't see the problem. "
Looking at Raynare, he declared.
"If the god of this world decides to want to be friends with us, I will not attack him! If he decides to ignore us ... I will not attack him! If he orders us to leave his island .. . I wouldn't attack him if Luffy decides to obey him! But if he decides to attack us and kill us, do you really think I'm going to wait wisely for him to kill us? "
Resting his hand on his sword, he asserted.
"Even if he is ten times or a hundred times stronger than me, I would fight him! And I would be really disappointed in you if you ever decided to do the opposite, because his status as a god scares you."
"You little ... do you understand what I'm trying to tell you? Are you a ..."
"Raynare! Zoro is right."
"Huh?" The fallen angel wondered, looking at her captain.
"All I want is to visit this god's island and meet him! If he's nice to us, I won't fight him! But if he wants to kill us, we won't have no choice but to defend ourselves. "
"But Luffy, we ..."
"You yourself said that this place is not Heaven! Don't worry! So this god is not at all like the one you knew."
Not knowing what to say, Raynare remained silent. Then, she felt a body jump onto her shoulders, before pressing its head against her cheek.
" Eevee ! "
Seeing the pokemon, Conis cautiously approached Raynare, before asking her.
"Huh… you spoke of god, as being your creator! You… are you an angel?"
Hearing her question, Raynare looked away from her a little. Then, finally, she declared.
"You can say that! During my life, I have been around the god of my world."
"Oh? So you're like Pit-san? It's amazing! Is that why you have a pokemon?"
" What do you mean ? "
"The pokemons are the deities of Upper Yard! They appeared on the island five years ago! In all, there are 53 of them! They are responsible for protecting the island! Each of them have shapes and different powers! However, I thought they all obeyed Enel-sama. "
"Pokemon?" Raynare repeated, clutching her Eevee, before staring at her. "Is that what you are?"
"Eevee." Her pokemon answered her, displaying a smile, and wagging her tail.
"So Eevee is from Skypiea." Vivi understood.
"Or else." Bruno retorted.
" How so ? "
"Remind you of how Raynare and I got here? If so, those monsters are from another universe! Which might explain the fact that they suddenly appeared on this island five years ago . "
"Yes, but, if it is, this god created them." Lucy asserted.
"Possible! You should ask him."
"Pokemonsters?" Luffy repeated.
"It's Pokemon," Usopp repeated.
At that moment, looking at Luffy, he saw his captain putting on a big smile.
"Hey, what are you thinking? Luffy ... no! No! NO! AND NOOOOO!"
Too late. Looking in the direction of Upper Yard, Luffy asserted.
"I will capture my own pokemonster."
" NOOOOOOOOO !"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Nami shouted, seeing the beam of lightning strike her.
But already, Aquarius raised her jar above her, before lowering it on the surface of the clouds. This simple gesture created a gigantic white wave that hit the waver and ejected it to the side. Clinging as best she could to the handlebars of the waver, Nami saw the beam crash into the clouds where she was and managed to hit Aquarius, who didn't have time to escape.
" AQUARIUS ! "
Crying for a few moments, the mermaid finally shines, before disappearing, to return to the spirit world. Feeling thrown to the side again, Nami almost fell into the water. Then, when the attack subsided, Nami was shaking with fear as she saw a huge hole in the clouds.
"What ... what happened?"
Hearing moans then, she looked down to see Velvet, lying on the ground, coughing up blood. Knowing what to do, Nami ended up grabbing the handlebars of the waver, before starting it. However, barely had she time to make the gesture when Shura and J appeared above the trees, before ordering their mounts to fly towards her.
"Where do you think you are going?"
"You're not going anywhere with our toy."
However, an arrow flew right in front of them, forcing them to stop.
" What ? "
Also flying towards Nami, Pit had made a bow appear in his hand and stared at the two priests, while repeating.
"It's up to me what to do with them! This woman didn't set foot on Upper Yard, so she's not a criminal."
"Grrr! Give us back our toy," Shura ordered him, speaking of Velvet.
"Go die," Pit ordered him.
Then suddenly, as he got to Nami, his flight ability was terminated and his wings ceased to function. Feeling falling, he landed on the back of the waver, which began to sink into the clouds.
"Hey, we're too heavy to go all the way! Why don't you fly?"
"I can only fly for five minutes."
" What ? "
"DRAGON PULSE ! "
Targeting the waver, Hunter J asserted.
"If you want to protect the redhead, it's up to you! However, as far as we're concerned, our mission is to kill the black-haired woman! You have three seconds to give her to us."
"I won't let anyone die." Pit retorted, starting to aim his bow at the pokemon.
" As you wish. "
at that moment, her Salamenche launched the attack towards the trio. However, before the blue sphere could touch the small boat, a figure appeared behind the waver. Moving on the water, using a pair of skates, operating thanks to two dials, the silhouette belonged to a man, who was hidden under a huge cloak, where the number 1 could be seen. Dashing towards the attack, he ends up making a spectacular jump, before drawing a sword. Striking the blue sphere, he managed to cut it in half, before exploding it.
"What?" Asked Hunter J.
Looking at the newcomer, Shura roared, as he recognized the man, despite his face being hidden under his cloak.
" YOU ? "
"Glad to see me again?" The man in the cloak asked, while he employed an amused tone.
Then, turning to Nami, he ordered.
"Run away! I'm holding them back."
Looking at the man with surprise, the redhead finally complied. However, before she left, she asked.
" Who are you ? "
"My name is ... Uno." The man asserted, pointing to the 1 on his cloak.
Then, seeing Nami leaving, he turned to his two opponents, who were unhappy to see their prey leaving.
"As usual, you are always there to prevent us from killing these lesser beings." Shura remarked.
"However, there will be a day when your stupidity leads you to your death." Asserted Hunter J.
"Really?" Uno asked, continuing to smile. "What if you try to demonstrate to me.
Getting angry, Shura and Hunter J attacked him.
"Carbonize it."
"HYPER BEAM ! "
Immediately, a jet of flame and a laser beam fired at the man and created an explosion, hitting him. However, having managed to dodge both attacks, Uno took advantage of the smoke generated to flee in turn. And, when the smoke cleared, the two priests were left alone.
"The motherfucker."
"It's a real antique," Pagaya asserted, examining the old waver Luffy and the others had discovered inside the crumbling galleon.
"Do you think you can fix it?" Luffy asked.
"Maybe! But for that I will have to disassemble it completely and check the condition of the dial! It will probably take me a few hours."
"No big deal! Anyway, if we have to wait here we have nothing better to do! And then ..."
Having a landing net and a cage, he said.
"When we have our own waver, we can go to Upper Yard and capture a pokemonster."
"It's pokemon." Usopp roared. "And why do you want to capture one? Raynare already has Eevee."
"Exactly! I want to have my pokemonster! I want a giant five meters tall."
"Because you think I'm going to let you get this monster up on the Merry to break everything? We don't need a pokemon! If you rule out Eevee, we already have Chopper and Menma."
" HEY ! "
Starting to yawn, Zoro asserted.
"Give up, Usopp! Whatever you say, he'll keep wanting to go! And we'll be forced to follow him."
Looking at Raynare, he asserted.
"Unless some people are afraid to go to god's island."
"Do you want to fight, asshole?"
Suddenly, sounding footsteps, the pirates stopped talking, to see a group of soldiers coming.
"What is it?" Menma asked.
"They look like soldiers," Johnny asserted.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! SMOKER AND HIS MEN ! WE ARE DEAD!"
"No, it's not them," Sanji remarked, examining their uniforms as well as the berets they wore.
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, they saw the group of soldiers lying on the ground, before continuing to advance, crawling.
"Huh ... what are they doing?"
"I don't know." Usopp confessed. "They might be perverts."
"Is that it perverts?" Chopper asked.
" Humans are fascinating living things. " Said Loke.
Continuing to advance, the soldiers finally stopped, before getting up. Then, nodding the hand, positioning her behind their heads, they screamed.
" Heso. "
"Heso!" Cone and Pagaya greeted them.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on?" Gin asked.
" If you want my opinion, I believe their attendance has something to do with the fact that we did not pay to enter Skypiea. " Said Bruno.
"What ? "
"You inhabitants of the blue sea." Roared the man who appeared to be the leader of the soldiers. "We White Berets are here to make you undergo divine judgment, for daring to enter Skypiea illegally."
"WHAT?" Repeated the pirates.
"Won." Bruno remarked.
"AHHHHHH! I told you you had to pay," Usopp asserted.
"Illegal way?" Luffy wondered. "What is he talking about?"
"Is that the truth?" Pagaya asked, looking at the pirate.
"No need to deny." The chief soldier asserted, pointing to Luffy and the Merry. "Amazon, the guardian of the entrance to Skypiea, has formally identified you. Unfortunately, because of one of you, her camera was destroyed! However, even in the absence of photos, she told us that pirates would be easy to identify! Among them are a man with a straw hat, a creature with a long nose, a green bird, a duck, a raccoon and a fox! and the one-headed boat mutton. "
"Hey, why am I being treated like a freak?" Usopp roared.
"I'm not a raccoon."
"And I am a phoenix! Not a simple green bird."
However, pushing the trio away, Bruno walked over to the soldiers, before asking.
"Are you talking about illegal entry, because of not having paid the tax of a billion extols per person?"
"Indeed. "
"In that case, I would like to say that we have been deceived."
"What do you mean? Will you claim to have paid the tax?"
"No! I'm just saying the woman named Amazon told us we can drop by, even without paying."
"It's true." Vivi asserted. "" She told us that we can go to Skypied whether we decide to pay or not. "
"No need to deny the obvious! The best is to admit the facts! Yes, I, Captain McKinley, have come to arrest you, for I know full well that you are criminals."
"Hey, take it easy." Bruno advised him. "We are not here as an enemy. As we said, we have been duped, regarding the importance of this tax! If paying it is a compulsory thing, I understand that we have to do it."
"So if I ask you, will you pay for it?" Mckinley asked.
"Huh… I think so." Vivi asserted, wondering how much a billion extols was worth.
Not liking the turn of events, Raynare heard the captain affirm.
"Indeed! It is not too late for you to avoid imprisonment! According to the laws of Skypiea, an illegal entry constitutes only an 11th category offense! If you accept your sentence, you will be regularized and get the status of visitors. "
"Hold on." Sanji said. "What sentence are you talking about?"
"It's quite simple! You will just have to pay ten times the entry of the tax."
ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH
"What was it?" Bruno asked, turning around.
"I think Raynare just had a heart attack," Lucy told him, seeing the fallen angel on the ground.
"10 billion ?" Yosaku said. "That makes ... 160 BILLION."
"Captain, we are from the blue sea." Vivi asserted. "Would it be possible to find out what a berry is worth in Skypiea?"
"Berry? Oh, your change! It's simple! Considering the rarity of the berry on the Sky Isles, it is equivalent to 10,000 extols."
"Huh? How much is it?" Usopp asked.
"I've always sucked at math." Gin asserted.
"Me too." Zoro said.
"16 million berrys." Robin said.
" WHAT ? "
"It's unfair." Sanji roared. "Do you realize that we have come close to death several times to come here? And besides, you dare to rob us."
"If you're not happy, you just had to pay the head tax."
"What ? "
"Sanji, calm down!" Lucy ordered him. "Virgo! See if Raynare's money can get us out of this situation."
"It's no use." Raynare retorted, standing up.
"Raynare! Now is not the time to be selfish! If you want, we'll pay you back by letting you take most of the next treasure we find."
"It's not that." Raynare retorted. "Virgo, how much do you estimate the amount of treasures I gave you?"
"9,125,543 berrys." The maid announced, without hesitation.
"9… 9 million?" Yosaku repeated.
"It's barely more than half," Johnny remarked.
"We sure have money somewhere else," Vivi asserted. "I know! Nami! Nami must have some money."
"Do you really think she has 7 million?" Gin asked. "Besides, you're a princess! Send your dad a letter and ask him to send us the money we need."
"Like I could do that."
"Then ask these guys to send the bill to your country for your dad to pay."
"Do you think I'm an ungrateful girl?"
" We do not have a choice. "
"Do you have a problem?" McKinley asked.
"We let you guess, asshole."
"Just to be clear! We are under the command of the grand priests. So any disobedience will get you in serious trouble."
"No need to get upset," Bruno asserted. "Listen, we can pay you! But we ask you to wait a few minutes! The person with the money we need is gone and is due to come back in a few minutes."
"Can she pay your tax?"
"Indeed! We're just asking for a few minutes! Please."
Grinning, McKinley stared at the group of pirates. Then, finally, he declared.
"We give you a quarter of an hour! If after this time your friend is not there, we will ask you to follow us! But, of course, we will stay by your side, until she arrives. "
"It goes without saying." Bruno assured, before leaving, to walk towards the Merry.
"Hey! Nami doesn't have that money." Gin asserted.
"Shut up!" Bruno ordered him. "And go warn the others! As soon as Nami is there, we create a diversion and run away before those morons can react."
"Talk about a fucked up plan," Raynare remarked, exiting the boat. "We don't know how to leave Skypiea anyway."
Landing on the beach, she allowed Eevee to leave her shoulder, and land on the beach. Looking down to see the pokemon start to stretch, McKinley nearly fell backwards.
"A ... A POKEMON?"
Staring at Raynare, he roared.
" Who are you ? "
"Huh ? "
