Bringing Ariados and the other pokemon back to their pokeballs, J growled in displeasure, before ordering Salamenche to leave. Taking advantage of the night, the pair were quickly joined by Ladydevimon, as they flew towards the path that would allow them to leave Skypiea and reach the blue sea.
"What are you going to do?" Ladydevimon asked.
"I don't know! To tell the truth, I don't particularly want to return to my world! Here, I was safe! But I have to admit that I could never reconquer this island! Plus, I was getting bored! I wouldn't say no to visiting a real city."
Finally, seeing the spiral path, which descended towards the blue sea, Ladydevimon and Salamenche took it. Then, finally, they separated.
Ladydevimon and Hunter J didn't particularly like each other and knew perfectly well that each was likely to betray the other once if they managed to find something interesting on another island.
So better not to kill each other, they silently decided to go their separate ways and each took a different path and began to fly over a blue expanse they hadn't seen in years.
Placing a hand on the hallowed ground of Upper Yard, Enel ends up coughing up blood. having fallen into the ocean of clouds, he had survived only thanks to a piece of wood belonging to his old ark.
Having floated on it, it was with difficulty that he had managed to reach the land where his ancient sanctuary was. It was the place where Luffy defeated him.
And yet, smiling broadly, he crawled on the floor, muttering.
"Luffy-sama…show me! Show me that power again! I want you to explain to me how to become a god."
Continuing to crawl on the ground, he suddenly stopped, seeing someone appear in front of him.
" Huh ? "
"Hi." Widos told him simply.
Opening his eyes, Shura looked around.
"What? Enel?"
Trying to get up, he felt himself immobilized, while handcuffs were found around his wrists and ankles.
"Hey, what is that?"
"I advise you not to make too much noise." Smoker affirmed.
Quietly seated next to him, the Colonel spit smoke out of his mouth as he declared.
"Here you are seen as an enemy and many people want you dead."
Not understanding what he meant, Shura looked around, to see Fuza, who was handcuffed at his ankles, as well as Zancrow who was still trapped in his crystal block.
Reaching into his jacket pockets, Smoker pulled out a pokeball, and threw it at the Shura.
"Your second eagle is in there."
"Tssss! What a difference! I guess you captured me to put me in prison! They are the other prelates?"
"The Shandians found another, the one who is bald! And together with the soldiers of Enel, they condemned him to exile and sent him to a wandering cloud! It seems that another prelate died during the destruction of Skypiea and two others fled! And the last one is nowhere to be found."
"And Zancrow?" Shura asked, looking at the crystal block.
"This guy is way too dangerous to just be sent on a wandering cloud." Smoker asserted. "As surreal as it seems, if he manages to get out of his crystal block and back here, I doubt Wiper or Pit will be enough to stop him."
"And Pit and the pokemons?"
"Pit was never seen as an enemy by the people of Skypiea. He was just a simple pawn of Enel, who did his best to help them. As for the pokemons, everyone can agree to say that they were Enel's slaves! Now that he's gone, they're no longer a threat to us! which means..."
Staring at Shura seriously, he affirmed.
"...that there's only you left."
Just staring at him, Shura finally retorts.
"Do what you want with me! You can even kill me! Anyway, I've already lost."
"Why should I kill you?"
"Just because I'm your prisoner! You can do whatever you want with me."
"You are not my prisoner! You are Mugiwara's."
"Huh?" The prelate wondered.
"He was the one who found you before I could handcuff you! And it was his raccoon who healed you."
Growling in frustration, Smoker nodded.
"The Navy has no rights here! So I have no right to touch other people's prisoners."
"What? And what is Mugiwara planning to do with me?"
"No idea." Smoker retorted, getting up before walking away from the building where the duo was. "And I don't care."
However, before leaving the building, he stopped, before affirming.
"Mugiwara... he saved your life! Try not to forget him."
Then the colonel left. And as soon as he was outside, he felt the presence of Hina, who was leaning against a wall.
"Smoker… Hina is not happy that you decide to do what you want again! After everything that happened in Alabasta, are you really going to let Mugiwara go? What will the Navy say?"
"Tssss! The people of this island now idolize Mugiwara and risk declaring war on the Navy if we capture their hero! I'm avoiding a conflict! Besides...fuck the Navy."
Heaving a weary sigh, Hina preferred not to insist, knowing perfectly well that it was useless. Then, looking up, she saw a visible glow in the city of Shandora, which was produced by a huge campfire.
Drinking a glass of alcohol, Zoro caught his breath.
"AHHHHHHH! I really needed this after such a day."
For their part, Bruno and Gin found themselves next to him, while looking like mummies because of the bandages with which Chopper had surrounded them.
"Losing to a pokemon... getting slaughtered by a woman... and struck down by a god." Gin growled. "Three losses for one victory! Shame."
"If it reassures you, our enemies were even more powerful than those in Alabasta! Or rather, Enel had managed to gather a lot more competent people than Crocodile! I think we can say that we did well."
" Tssss! Don't talk nonsense. " Zoro retorted.
Looking ahead, to see several people dancing around a campfire, he recognized the people of Skypiea, Shandians and Navy soldiers, as well as Nola and the pokemons.
"To win, we had to ally ourselves, as we went along, with several groups of people! And if one of these groups had been absent, victory would have been impossible for us."
Showing a serious look, he declared.
"This battle was not a fight between Enel and our crew! Enel's group faced three different groups, as well as people who fought individually! And at the end of this fight, Enel was beaten against I don't know how many people... and he almost won."
Banging his glass against the floor, he declared.
"What percentage of the way have we come since the beginning of our adventure? A third? A quarter? A fifth? Damn it! meet near Raftel?"
Realizing what he meant, Bruno took a sip of wine. Then he declared.
"Me, I'm glad I came here."
"Why?" Gin questioned her. "Because we saved a country?"
"It's not just that! I don't know if you've noticed, but in 48 hours, the power of our crew has almost doubled! This adventure has made us much stronger! I know you think the contrary but, I am sure you will quickly notice the difference in our next battles."
"Maybe but... will it be enough?" Zoro questioned him.
Not knowing what to think of this, Gin ends up getting up, before finding what rots to replace rum.
Approaching a barrel, he began to sniff its contents, before hearing a voice behind him.
"What do you decide to do?"
Not bothering to turn around, Gin recognized Sanji's voice as well as the usual smell of tobacco, while the blond was sitting on the root of a tree.
"If I remember correctly, you told me at Mock Town that you were hesitant about wanting to stay on the team."
Suddenly throwing a newspaper on the floor, showing a picture of Momonga, while Krieg was chained next to him, he questioned her.
"Are you still planning to save this guy and rejoin his crew to terrorize East-Blue, like before?"
"And why not?" Gin questioned. "After all, East Blue is a much easier sea to dominate than Grand Line. And then, at least, there, I'm sure I won't find myself lost in the sky! If I don't have my place in this crew, I think I know best."
Hearing her, Sanji simply took a puff of smoke. Then, getting up, he pretended to go away, while declaring.
"Fool."
"Nevertheless, I will make an effort to become more powerful."
Pausing, Sanji turned to Gin, who was staring at the rest of their companions, eating or being in the company of the other inhabitants of Skypiea.
"Today everyone fought as best they could! Our crew had victories as well as many defeats but...everyone was part of our victory! And for that, everyone world has become stronger."
Then looking at his tonfas, he declared.
"Before, I was as powerful as you, but that's not the case today! So what? I don't have to feel ashamed of not being on your level! "is that I become strong enough to protect our companions who will need my help when the time comes! It doesn't matter if I become the fourth or the fifth strongest in the team or even the last! I will be strong enough to come to your aid . "
Then displaying a confident smile, he assured.
"I'm Gin, member of Monkey D. Luffy's crew! And contrary to what many may think, I'm not a loser."
Suddenly, Sanji threw an object at him and Gin caught it.
"Huh?" The man wondered, seeing the vegetable peeler he was holding in his hand.
" I'm glad you're staying with us. " Sanji assured. "I just needed you to peel the potatoes! There are a hundred kilos of them."
"HEY! Why am I always the one peeling the potatoes?"
"Because you are my assistant."
"I never claimed that." Gin growled, seeing Sanji leave for good.
However, he didn't see the smile the blonde put on.
Being writing on a notebook, Kudo was trying to gather all the information he had managed to gather since his arrival here.
"Shandora city..." he said, as he looked at the page where he had copied all the inscriptions on the ancient city's poneglyph.
Having also copied the translation that Robin had been able to provide him, Kudo ended up mumbling.
"It's useless! This simple poneglyph can't bring me any answer! To get what I'm looking for, I have to find others! Nevertheless, even if I succeed, it's impossible for me to translate what is written on it."
"Thanks. "
Surprised, Kudo saw Robin sitting next to him.
" Huh ? "
"Thank you for your help! I see I was wrong to distrust you."
" I didn't do much. " Shinichi retorted. "I tried to stop Enel but...he made fun of me."
"It's not just that.." Retorted Robin. "I'm talking to you about the fact that you taught me something more important."
Also looking at the people partying around them, she declared.
"The proofs of the past, I can find hundreds of them! But if I die in order to protect them, I could not find them! And then, if I die, I would be unable to be able to continue to find a reason to live."
" Reasons to live...you can find thousands of them. " Shinichi retorted. "Your friends are part of it."
There were then a few seconds of silence.
"You're Sengoku's assistant, aren't you?" Robin questioned.
" Yes. "
"You're in the Navy…so are you going to stop us! After all, I'm an enemy of the Navy."
"Honestly, I would be betraying myself if I decided to hand you over to the Navy! They say you're an international enemy but...from what I've seen, for myself, I don't found no reason to stop you."
"So you're going to let us go?"
"Honestly, I don't even feel like I can stop you."
Showing a small smile, Robin affirmed.
"Regarding the Poneglyphs... knowing how to read them means becoming an enemy of the World Government."
Then, rummaging in her bag, she pulled out an old notebook which she gave to Shinichi.
"Here are my old notes! Try to decipher them so you can learn to read the poneglyphs."
Surprised, Kudo grabbed his notebook and leafed through it to read hundreds of different texts, most of which were written in languages he didn't understand.
"Why are you giving me this? I thought..."
"I don't know what life has in store for me." Robin affirmed. "But, what I do know is that if I die, Ohara's sacrifice will have been useless and will be forgotten! In this case, I prefer to make sure that someone can replace me and discover the secrets of the Void Century."
"And you trust me? Why me?"
"I don't know anything." Robin affirmed. "Honestly, if we had met a few months ago, I would never have offered you this! But, today, I would like to believe that there are people who can understand me! Nevertheless..."
Taking Shinichi's hand, she pulled him towards her, before forcing him to look into her eyes.
"This notebook...if you ever entrust me to anyone...I'll kill you! Do you understand?"
Feeling shivers appear throughout his body, the boy immediately nodded. Seeing him do this, Robin let him go, before leaving.
"And don't forget...a lot of people will want to kill you, if he finds out what you're planning to do."
"I'm aware of it." Affirmed the boy, before hastening to read the first texts of the notebook.
Leaving him alone, Robin was about to reunite with her friends, when a man with a cigar in his mouth asserted.
"I see you don't want to die anymore."
Barely glancing at Smoker, who was sitting on a huge root, Robin retorted.
" I do not see what you're talking about. "
"Honestly, I never believed that the demon child would ever stop betraying her associates and caring about other people's lives."
Showing an almost mocking smile, he declared.
"Pirates... nobody can understand you."
Simply staring at him, Robin felt somewhat offended by his remark and ended up turning her head in another direction.
"Luffy…do you want to know what Smoker said about you when you weren't around? Apparently, you'd make an excellent Navy soldier."
"SHUT UP!" Smoker roared, blushing in shame, grabbing his jitte. "I didn't promise to let you leave this island! So be careful."
For answer, it was Robin who showed him a mocking smile, before leaving. And no sooner had she moved away from him than she saw Vivi. Having a mirror in her hand and a chisel in the water, she attempted to match the size of her hair, after she roughly cut it, during her fight on Enel.
Struggling to use her mirror to get a perfect view of her hair, Vivi grimaced, trying to cut a few strands. Nevertheless, she was surprised to pull out her scissors to be grabbed by one hand.
"Huh?" the ex-princess wondered, turning around.
"Need help?" Robin asked, with the scissors in her hand.
Ordinarily, Vivi would have ignored her offer and simply asked her to return her scissors. Yet, simply smiling at her, she affirmed.
" I thank you. "
Being eating a piece of meat, Luffy seemed to be thinking. Being next to him, Usopp seemed surprised to see him eating slowly, instead of gorging like he was used to.
"Are you okay, Luffy?"
"Yes! I'm just thinking."
"Are you sick?" Usopp frightened.
"Luffy thinking?" Chopper wondered.
"HEY!" Luffy roared, feeling a vein appear on his forehead.
Yet, quickly calming down, he went back to thinking and thought exactly like Zoro. Even if Luffy had won the final victory, they would surely have lost if not for the interference of Smoker, Pit and the others.
Just like in Alabasta, Luffy felt like he was still too weak. They were still half way through their journey, yet he and his friends barely had the strength to survive.
"Shanks...could I really keep my promise?"
Instinctively placing his hand on his head, he froze, remembering that his hat was gone. Shanks' hat had been pulverized along with the rest of Skypiea.
" Lu ... Luffy ... "
Turning around, the pirate saw Velvet who, her face lowered somewhat, couldn't hide an ounce of embarrassment on her face.
"Your hat...you entrusted it to me and...I'm sorry."
Then she bowed to him.
" I am really sorry. "
"Why are you sorry?" Luffy questioned her.
"What?" the demon wondered, raising her face.
" It's true that I'm sad not to have my hat anymore. " Luffy confessed. "But if it was destroyed, it's because you lost it trying to protect Raynare and the others."
Showing a smile, he declared.
"I'd rather know you protected my friends than my hat! Velvet, thank you for your help."
Immediately, surprise appeared on the demon's face. She had thought that Luffy was going to be angry towards her, while she knew how precious his hat was. And yet, the boy thanked her.
"But...it was your precious hat."
"Yes! But as captain, I have to worry more about my crew than my own business! If I explain this to Shanks, I think he will understand."
This time, Velvet remained silent. And taking advantage of her remaining motionless, Luffy questioned her.
"By the way, do you still agree?"
" What ? "
"Do you still want to be part of my crew?" Luffy questioned him.
" Je ... "
Really not knowing what to say, she said.
"Mugiwara...I lost your hat and...I'm a demon...I...Why?"
In response, Luffy's hand went to her mouth and Velvet felt a chicken leg get stuck between her jaws.
" MMMPPHH ? "
"You're my friend." Luffy simply affirmed, now standing in front of her.
Then he held out his hand to her, before questioning her.
"Velvet...you want friends, don't you? In that case, I want to be your friend if you promise to protect your new companions."
Velvet just stared at his hand. Then, having the misfortune to look at Luffy's face, she couldn't help but blush a little, seeing him smile at her. Luffy...he looked so stupid...but so different from the other humans she had met in her old world.
Finally, looking away, she tried to sound grumpy, while grabbing Luffy's hand.
"I never asked to be your friend! I'm just curious what will become of a guy like you."
But, in an instant, Luffy's arm wrapped around her waist several times and the boy pulled her closer.
" GREAT ! "
Feeling her body touch Luffy, Velvet blushed even more. Then, the next second, a sound of shock was heard and Luffy's head was stuck in the ground, while Velvet had just hit him with her fist. Looking furious, while her face was flushed, she finally walked away.
" BAKAYARO ! "
Having seen this, Usopp asked.
" What happened ? "
"Luffy, are you alive?" Chopper asked, touching him with the tips of his hooves.
Pulling his face off the ground, Luffy also tried to figure out the reason for Velvet's gesture.
"I made her angry?"
"She must not like human contact." Usopp affirmed.
About to say something, Luffy suddenly froze. Without understanding the reason, he seemed to sense something. He detected a presence. A presence he did not appreciate.
Getting ready to eat again, Usopp and Chopper were surprised to see Luffy leave.
" Luffy ? "
Ignoring them, Luffy left the party area and disappeared into the forest. Continuing to run, again and again, the pirate eventually found himself in a clearing, which was lit only by moonlight. And stopping, he eventually felt a gust of wind coming towards him, causing an object to fly skyward.
Standing still, Luffy let his precious straw hat fall on his head. Yet, almost seeming to ignore him, he only stared at a large rock in front of him, where an old man sat, dressed like a wizard.
"Monkey D. Luffy..." Widos said, as he smoked with a long pipe.
Grand Line
It was also dark below Skypiea and not far from the sky island was another island, whose inhabitants were sleeping.
However, being perfectly awake, a man was in front of the door of a mansion. Squatting in front of the lock on the front door, he almost wanted to whistle, while he held a few tools in his hands, which he amused himself by introducing into the keyhole. Finally, he smiled at the sound of a click as the door opened.
Then putting away his tools, the burglar then penetrated inside the mansion. Hands in his jacket pockets, he walked quietly, as if he weren't afraid to be seen. Having studied the place extensively as well as the new tenants of this place, the thief believed in a miracle, noticing that the family who had just moved here did not have any guardian to watch over the place.
However, it was not the riches that interested the man. He was Razo Remana. A man suspected of rape and murder. And he was the last to say that was wrong. Passing from room to room, he found himself in a corridor and found himself in front of the parents' bedroom. However, simply displaying a mocking smile, he continued on his way and stopped in front of the room that interested him.
Razo knew that this family consisted of three people: the parents and their 17-year-old daughter. And it was the latter that interested him. Opening the bedroom door, he quietly walked over to the hall bed where a figure could be seen lying on it.
Licking his lips, Razo discreetly picked up a cloth soaked in chloroform. So he was going to capture his 26th victim, take her away from here, rape her, and leave her somewhere.
But while he was going to capture his prey, Razo was surprised to hear a strange noise coming from the ceiling and having barely time to raise his face, he saw a woman drop down towards him, before giving her a powerful blow. from the foot to the top of the skull.
Barely having time to understand what was happening, Razo found himself on the ground, stunned. Seeing this, the woman lands near him, while staring at him in disgust.
"I just captured a pig." Ain affirmed.
Rising out of her bed, the young woman who was lying there stood up, while she wore a uniform similar to Ain's.
"The mission is a real success."
"She won't until this guy is in the hands of the priest." Ain retorted, grabbing a den-den mushi.
Turning it on, she waited a few seconds, before hearing a man's voice.
"Razo was captured?"
"Affirmative, Z-sensei." Ain assured. "Your plan worked perfectly! He fell into our trap without suspecting anything."
"Good job! You can provide him to the priest."
"It's OK. "
Turning off his den-den mushi, Ain glared at Razo again in disgust while declaring.
"You killed 25 people! I hope you suffer a lot before you die."
A few hours later
Letting the rays of the sun caress his skin, Aizen walked quietly as he made his way to a church that was isolated from any other habitation. She looked abandoned. Still, Aizen knew perfectly well that there were people inside. Especially today.
"Let's see if we can have some fun." Aizen stated, stepping inside the church.
