Being in Pagaya's house, Usopp and Luffy had fun bouncing on the cushions of the living room sofa.
'' These cushions are awesome."
'' Yeah ! Super comfortable. ''
However, receiving a kick in the head, they fell to the ground, while Sanji roared.
'' Stay calm ! You are not at home here. ''
Then, following Pagaya, he went into the kitchen, as did Gin.
"Yum, the local cuisine. ''
" You are here to help! Not to eat what's in the fridge." Sanji warned him.
'' No problem. ''
As the three men left, Vivi was looking out to the white sea out of the living room window. Still wondering if this was all just a dream, she asked.
"Conis-san, how come we are able to walk on this cloud? ''
''It is very simple ! These clouds contain pyrobioine! The volcanoes of the blue sea release it when they are erupting! Pyrobioine rises high in the sky, along with the smoke, and eventually comes into contact with the clouds! If this phenomenon affects the same clouds several times, we simply have to wait tens of thousands of years for them to harden and become hard enough for us to walk on! But to support its weight, other clouds are forced to clump around it, to allow it to float. ''
" So the formation of a celestial island is only due to chance. " Johnny remarked. " If the volcanoes in our ocean never erupted, there would have been no heavenly islands. ''
'' That's right. ''
" It's quite ironic." Yosaku remarked. " A natural disaster, which can destroy an island, has allowed the creation of a flying paradise! Nature is full of surprises. ''
Suddenly, uttering a cry of agony, Gin left the kitchen. Falling to his knees, he began to cough several times, while his tongue was all red.
'' AHHHHHHHHHH! It stings ! ''
"Gin? " Lucy wondered. '' What's wrong ? ''
'' Dumbass !" Sanji growled, stepping out of the kitchen. " I told you not to eat anything. ''
'' Ah! Ah! I just wanted to taste a spoonful of blue powder. " Said Gin. "Damn it! It must have been hot! My mouth is on fire! Milk ! Give me some milk. ''
Arriving then, Pagaya apologized.
"Excuse me for the inconvenience. ''
'' No, it is nothing." Sanji assured. "He's that idiot who can't help but eat whatever he finds."
"No, that's not it! The powder he ate! Originally it must have been yellow! It was blue because there is mold on it."
'' What? " Gin wondered.
" You have to throw it away." Sanji asserted. '' Don't leave that in the kitchen. ''
Laughing, Pit said.
"You're still so disorganized, Pagaya-san. ''
'' Sorry. ''
For her part, remaining silent, Raynare was in a corner of the room, while holding Eevee in her arms. Happy to be petted, the pokemon didn't seem to understand how concerned Raynare was about Conis and Pit's lore.
"Is Eevee a pokemon? What is that ? Is she from this island? ''
Asking himself several questions, Raynare preferred to remain silent, hesitating to ask Pit for information. Seeming to understand this, Bruno was the one who asked.
"Conis-san, would it be possible to ask you questions about this place? ''
'' Sure ! What do you want to know ? ''
Rummaging in his pockets, Bruno pulled out a strange shell, which appeared to be very old, and covered with grime.
" A few days ago, a strange ship fell from the sky in front of our boat! While digging inside, I found this shell and, according to Raynare, it is surely a dial! Plus, the fox, she is holding, has been found in a desert location! looking at Eevee's fur, it's obvious that this was not her original habitat! So, would it also be possible to know if this animal comes from your island? ''
Smiling at first, hearing his first questions, Conis seemed more existing, as soon as Bruno said the word "pokemon". Still keeping her smile, she walked over to the shell and took it, before examining it.
" There is no doubt, it is a dial." She asserted, pressing down on its end. " However, it is very old and does not seem to be able to function anymore. ''
'' Operate? " Zoro repeated. " Is this shell useful for something? ''
'' Sure. '' Assured Conis.
Walking towards a piece of furniture, she opened a drawer, before pulling out a gray shell.
" This is another dial! I'll show you how to make it work. ''
Giving it to Luffy, she asked him.
" Can you say something with your mouth right in front of it ? ''
'' To say something ? ''
Thinking about it, Luffy finally said.
" Usopp is just a tight fist. ''
" She didn't ask you to insult me." Usopp roared, slapping the back of his head.
Conis began to chuckle, then told him.
"Now press down on the apex of the shell. ''
" What is the apex? ''
" The top of the seashell, idiot." Usopp explained, doing it for him.
Immediately, the duo were surprised to hear their voices coming from the seashell.
'' Usopp is just a tight fist! She didn't ask you to insult me. ''
" The seashell speaks." Luffy scared.
" Idiot, these are our voices. ''
''How come ? " Yosaku asked. " This stuff is so awesome. ''
'' You find ? " Menma asked. " There were plenty of things like that in my world. ''
" In mine too." Bruno assured. "I would have to show you what a cell phone is! I am sure that I would very quickly become a billionaire by selling such devices in this world. ''
"Are there really things like this in your world? " Chopper asked, amazed.
'' Yeah ! By the way, if Skypiea were in my world, I can assure you that we could have got there safely using flying devices called 'planes. ''
'' Airplane ? ''
"They look like big steel birds, which are able to fly. Raynare said.
'' Oh ? " Zoro said, raising an eyebrow. " Apparently, from one universe to another, technology has developed in different ways! But I feel like we are late compared to you. ''
'' Not really. " Bruno retorted. '' Your oceans are much more dangerous than yours and yet you can navigate over them! Our worlds are different, so it's only fitting that your technology has evolved to solve your problems. ''
" I understand that the dial recorded Luffy-aniki's voice. " Johnny asserted. " However, your dad said his waver works with a dial! It is not after all this shell which moves his boat forward, is it? ''
" There are several kinds of dials! This one is a Tone Dial! It is able to record sounds! There are other dials which have other uses. ''
" How can seashells live here when the ocean has no bottom? " Robin asked.
" They are found on rocky reefs near the coast. ''
Then, taking another dial, she declared.
`` It is this kind of dial which is used to propel our wavers. ''
Pressing down on the apex, she created a draft that came out of the dial.
'' It's a Breath Dial! It is able to absorb a large amount of air and create a blast of wind! This breath allows the advancement of wavers! However, the one my father uses is much bigger. ''
" And there are others? " Chopper asked.
'' Sure ! Some produce flames, others produce gas ... There are about ten varieties of dials. ''
" We should see if we can find a Breath Dial for our Waver. " Bruno remarked.
'' Hmm? " Yosaku wondered. "Do you think we can fix it? ''
'' The wooden part can be easily replaced! There is just the shell that did not work! If we find another one, maybe Nami can have her own waver. ''
'' It is very easy to change the dial of a waver. '' Assured Conis. "If you want, I could show you or find some. ''
"I'm amazed you have your own waver. " Pit confessed. '' It was while stopping over on another island that you found it? ''
'' Not really ! Skypiea is the first celestial island we visit. " Usopp retorted. " To get here we used the Knock-Up Stream. ''
'' Knock-up Stream? " Pit repeated, starting to think. " I feel like Gan Fall-san has already told me about it. ''
'' Oh ? Do you know the grandfather in armor? " Luffy asked. " We passed him on the way. ''
'' It's true ? How is he ? When I arrived at Skypiea, he was the one who took me in! I have a huge debt to him. ''
" He saved us. " Chopper asserted. "He acted like a real knight. ''
" On the other hand, his horse was not very handsome. " Menma said.
"I should think about visiting him, to find out if he needs anything. ''
Not caring about that, Raynare insisted on Bruno's last question.
'' What is a pok ...? "
'' It's ready. " Sanji announced, entering the kitchen followed by Pagaya and Gin.
Putting various plates filled with food on his table, he asserted.
"" On the menu, seafood from the heavenly island, accompanied by fruit! I hope that you will like. ''
'' Lobster." Luffy and Chopper yelled, seeing a red crustacean that looked like it.
"OHHHHH! That's a great meal." Pit asserted, as he was about to drool. "Can I eat with you? ''
'' Sure !" Sanji assured him. '' I have a portion planned for you! It's my way of thanking, since you are going to be our guide. ''
" I gladly accept. '' Said the angel, before starting to eat. '' WOWWWWW! It's too good. ''
'' Is not it ? " Luffy asked.
Immediately starting to eat, the pirates feasted on Skypiea specialties. Yet, just staring at Pit, who was eating with them, Raynare ended up walking away from the table and onto the balcony, of the house.
"Eevee? " Her pokemon wondered, still in her arms. ''
'' You are hungry ? The fallen angel questioned, setting her down on the ground. "You can go eat if you want. ''
Getting ready to leave, Eevee pausing, seeing Raynare stay on the balcony, just staring at the white expanse in front of her. No matter how much she said that this place was not Heaven, she couldn't help but compare it to the place where she was born. The divine place where she was entitled to go, when her wings were still white.
"God… Mickael-san! ''
Then she thought of a man, also having black wings, smiling at Raynare, while offering to her.
"Raynare ... follow me and become a fallen angel. ''
Gritting her teeth, "Raynare the balcony railing, before growling.
"Keseko ! ''
'' Raynare-sama ? ''
Walking towards the fallen angel, Virgo held a plate in her hand, which she presented to the fallen angel.
"Don't you want to eat? ''
Looking at the plate, Raynare picked it up, before placing it on the floor in front of Eevee.
"Thanks, Virgo! but, I am not very hungry. ''
For her part, smelling the good smell of the food, Eevee smiled with joy, before starting to eat. Seeing her happy animal, while having her mouth full, Raynare smiled a little, before resuming her gaze at the white ocean.
"Got a problem, Raynare-sama? ''
'' No nothing ! It's just ... it's just that I don't feel like I belong here at all! Before coming, I was curious about what Skypiea could look like! But now ... I want us to go back downstairs. ''
"Are you afraid of the man with the angel wings? ''
'' Not really ! It's just that this place makes me rethink memories that I would rather forget! Memories that still haunt my nightmares. ''
'' Your nightmares? ''
"Raynare-sama! Virgo-chan! How do you find my delicious dishes? ''
Arriving on the balcony, Sanji saw the duo, who were by no means eating what had just been cooked. At his feet, having already finished what was on the plate, Eevee was now lying on her back and starting a digestive nap.
"Sorry, Saner, but, I'm not really hungry. ''
" Are you worried about Pit? Do not worry ! He doesn't seem to understand that you are a fallen angel! And anyway, even if he tries to assault you, I'll be there to defend you, Raynare-sama. ''
Hearing his words, Raynare suddenly turned. then she whispered.
" When I was an angel, with white wings, I too had to defend the inhabitants of a village! They all considered me a true god. ''
'' Hmm? " The duo behind them wondered.
"But they were all killed! Everyone, even children! There was not a single survivor! The person who attacked their village, massacred them all. ''
'' Is that why you became a fallen angel? " Sanji asked. "Because you didn't protect them? ''
'' No ! I did worse than that. ''
Hearing her words, Virgo asked.
'' Raynare-sama ... are you the one ...? ''
"Hey, where's Nami-swan? ''
Looking at the White Sea, Sanji noticed that Nami was no longer visible.
'' Nami? ''
Continuing to eat, Luffy asked.
'' She's not on the sea. ''
"No, I can't see her anywhere. ''
" So she had to take a further turn. " Usopp said simply.
Hearing this, Pit stopped eating, while Conis looked at her father, before asking him.
"Father, don't you think she went ...? ''
" Yes, maybe. ''
'' What's up ? Vivi asked.
'' Here in Skypiea there is a place that no one is allowed to enter! This place is very close to this island. It is sacred land! This place is nicknamed "Upper Yard, the domain of god". This is where many deities like your pet live. ''
"Eevee? " Raynare wondered.
'' DAMN IT! '' Rugit Pit.
Then, getting up from the table, he ran to the balcony. Spreading his wings, he passed between Sanji and the two women before jumping and starting to fly. Not knowing how to fly like a real angel, Pit only had a flight range of five minutes. However, that was more than enough for him to go find Nami.
'' Pit ? ''
Continuing to fly, Pit grabbed his headset, before screaming.
"J-san? J-san? You hear me ? ''
He got no answer.
"Damn it! I need to find this girl before it's too late. ''
" Being in front of a huge island made of earth, Nami was fascinated by the gigantic trees that stood there.
" I had no idea that a real island would be found here. ''
Poking her head out of the clouds, Aquarius was also looking at the island, while displaying a pout.
" This jungle greatly degrades the beauty of this paradise! Who had the idea to put this island here? ''
'' I have never had such tall trees. " Nami asserted. "I can't even imagine how old they are. ''
" Is it really something impressive? " Asked the mermaid, little interested in terrestrial botany.
"There are treasures here! Yes, mountains of treasures. ''
"Huh? Nami wondered, hearing a male voice. '' There is someone ? ''
"The treasures are here! Let's hurry! ''
Deciding to follow the sound of the voice, Nami started the waver and began to walk around the island. With a weary sigh, Aquarius dived into the water and began to follow her. However, seeing the hull of the waver come to rest, a few seconds later, she emerged from the clouds, to see a boat, in bad condition, which seemed to have suffered an attack.
'' The voice comes from here? " Nami wondered.
Climbing onto the boat, she quickly discovered that there was no one there.
" Where is this man who spoke of treasures? ''
Remaining in the sea of clouds, Aquarius simply put her hand on the ship's hull, which was cover "ed in huge scuff marks.
"Something attacked them! Something very big. ''
'' An animal ? ''
'' Surely ! ''
" There are treasures here! Yes, mountains of treasures. ''
Gasping in fear, Nami turned to see a small bird, which was standing on a seashell, crushing its tip, under its paws.
"The treasures are here! Let's hurry. " Shouted the seashell.
" A talking shell? " Nami wondered, not picking up the object.
'' No ! It must be a voice recorder. " Aquarius retorted. '' In Lucy's world, there were several magical objects that had the same role. ''
This seashell records the voices? ''
Suddenly, a cry of fear emanated from the shell.
'' Help ! What is this noise ? Oh no ! It's him ! It's god! We are going to suffer divine punishment. ''
Then a sound of explosion was heard, followed by the agonizing cries of the man. Then nothing. Frightened by the silence of the place, Nami took a step back before declaring.
"He ... he was killed ... by god?" ''
'' We must not stay here. " Suddenly ordered Aquarius. '' Take your waver and let's go. ''
'' Huh ... yeah ! ''
However, a sudden explosion sound was heard.
'' Huh ? ''
Being thrown out of the jungle, a body fell to the ground. Being able to see it, Nami noticed that it was a dark haired woman, who appeared to be exhausted and badly injured.
'' That ? A woman ? ''
Trying to catch her breath, Velvet struggling to sit up. Nonetheless, she screamed in pain, trying to put her foot down, because of a big wound on her leg. Unable to walk, she could only crawl on the ground.
Appearing on the branch of a tree, Shura laughed.
"So what do you think of my flaming spear? I bet I destroyed the muscles in your leg. ''
"Hey, this is my prey. " Ohm retorted.
"Hohoho! Do you want to joke? " Satori asked him. "After all this time I had to pursue her, the least I could do would be for me to be the one to kill her. ''
Seeing the three Priests, Gedatsu asked.
'' Where's Zancrow? It's always the first to arrive when it comes to killing prey. ''
'' I think he's gone hunting for another game. " Hunter-J asserted, on the back of her Salamenche.
'' He went to attack the pirates? " Ohm wondered. "I thought Enel-sama had given Pit this mission. ''
" This fool is unmanageable. " Shura asserted.
"Hohoho! It's you saying that? " " Satori asked him.
Continuing to crawl on the ground, Velvet finally found himself in front of the ocean of clouds and saw Nami, right in front of her. Too surprised to understand what was going on, Nami asked.
'' What is happening here ? ''
Seeing her on his waver, Velvet thought he saw a glimmer of hope. So even though that gesture made her give another cry of pain, she jumped up, and managed to grab hold of the edge of the waver, despite the rest of her body falling into the clouds.
'' That ... ? " Nami wondered, feeling her transport lean to the side.
Using her last strength to pull himself up onto the waver, Velvet ended up coughing up blood as she lay behind Nami.
Still, pulling a dagger from under her clothes, she ordered her.
'' Start! ''
'' What ? ''
" I said 'start up,' silly. ''
"Hey! There do you think you are going? ''
Frightened, Nami looked up, to see the five Priests, lying on the edge of the island, watching them. Noticing her presence and that of Aquarius, Shura looked happy.
'' Great ! Two more toys. ''
" We will be happy to play with them. " Satori asserted, dancing on a white sphere.
'' Salamenche use HYPER BEAM! ''
Being faster than the others, Hunter J had already launched the first attack. Stunned, and paralyzed with fear, Nami saw the blue dragon channeling energy in front of his mouth, to create an energetic sphere.
" What ... what? ''
'' Start! " Velvet insisted, unable to move.
However, feeling her whole body shake in fear, Nami was unable to hear her, as she saw the pokemon's attack come to an end. In an instant, his energetic sphere transformed into a powerful laser beam, which charged at the trio. Seeing this, Aquarius stood in front of Nami's waver and pretended to use her powers to create water protection. However, before " they could do anything, a figure fell from the sky and kicked the pokemon in the face. Backing up, Salamenche could not aim correctly and his attack passed over Nami.
Still scared, the redhead remained still, until she heard an explosion behind her, while the pokemon's attack had ended up touching the ocean of clouds, causing the explosion. Clinging to keep from losing balance, Hunter-J began to growl, recognizing the figure in front of her.
'' Pit ... ''
'' You ? " Nami wondered.
"I forbid you to harm these people! They are under my jurisdiction. ''
'' Tsss! Again you? " Shura growled. "Sorry to disappoint you, but these women broke the law of Skypiea, entering this divine place! It is normal for them to be punished. ''
" They were not at all aware that this place was forbidden. " Pit retorted. "Let me tell Enel-sama about it and I'm sure that ..."
Shutting up then, Pit and the five Priests lifted their faces to the sky, before putting on scared looks.
'' What is he doing ? ''
"Hey! We're here too! Wait a minute. ''
'' That ... ? " Nami wondered, also looking up.
Resuming to tremble with fear, the redhead saw a huge column of light being created in the sky, before falling on her.
'' That ... ? " She could only say before an explosion was heard, down to Skypiea.
Lighting a cigar, Smoker summed up what he had just heard.
So, to enter Skypiea, we are forced to pay a right of way, which is equal to one billion extols, per person. ''
''Indeed. " Amazon agreed, while trying to photograph everyone on Smoker's boat.
" What if we refuse? ''
" You can still pass! It's not my role to stop you. ''
"Huh? we can pass ? " Fullbody wondered.
" In this case, no need to hesitate! Let's go without paying. " Jungo assured.
" Hitting them both, Hina groaned.
" Can't you see it's a trap? Imbecile. ''
"Smoker-san, what are we doing? " Tashigi asked him.
Being silent at first, the colonel finally asked.
"Did a pirate ship pass through here? ''
Remaining silent for a few moments, Amazon finally asks.
" Are you talking about the pirate ship whose jolly roger featured a skull that wore a straw hat? ''
Having his answer already, Smoker pulled out a payout from his clothes. Stretching out his " arm, turning it into smoke, he handed the paper to the old lady, while declaring.
"I am mandated by justice to bring Monkey D. Luffy, to jail! However, since you are not a vassal country to the world government, we are obligated to pay our right of way! Therefore, send the invoice to this address! My superiors will pay. "
'' Your superiors? ''
Ignoring her, Smoker stared at the huge waterfall that lay in front of his ship, before growling.
"This time around, you will have no escape, Mugiwara. ''
