Conis's and Pagaya's house

Conis had just finished explaining that God's was named Enel, she told the crew that he was omniscient and that he could see and hear everything that happened on the Island. Conis then continued to explain that Upper yard was the land of God, and that not-one of the citizens of Skypiea had ever set foot there or seen Enel himself.

"So it's a forbidden island?" Connor asked Conis innocently.

"Yes, no-one knows what truly lies on that land but Enel himself," Conis confirmed

"So it's a mystery Island then," Luffy said excitedly.

Usopp looked at his captain knowing that tone of voice and the sparkles in Luffy's eyes meant one thing: Trouble.

"NO! No Luffy! Stop getting excited, we're not going to Upper Yard!" Usopp's declared, his tone was more pleading than commanding.

"Isn't God was supposed to be all kind and stuff, would he really mind if we just visited his Island?" Luffy responded an innocent voice.

"No." Pagaya said in a surprisingly loud voice, he was futilely attempting to discourage the young man "there is a hefty punishment for stepping into God's domain, no-one to visit Upper Yard has ever returned!"

"But Conis just said that no one has ever visited it," Robin pointed out.

"I said that none of the Skypiea citizens have visited it, you're not the first Blue Sea dwellers to come here and a lot of them do go to Upper yard but never come back," Conis clarified.

The crew's eyes widened, Sanji immediately ran to the balcony began to yell for Nami to come back.

"Well looks like we're going to have to save Nami." Luffy's eyes still possessed that adventure sparkle'.

"You're just using that as an excuse to go to Upper Yard," Usopp claimed.

"Maybe," Luffy grinned.

The crew thanked Coins and Pagaya for lunch and their hospitably, Robin asked if there was a way to get back to the Blue Sea and Conis confirmed that they could go through Clouds End, but it was a failed distance for Upper Yard.

Zoro assured them that they would be fine and if it came down to it they could always fight God, Conis and Papaya looked at them like they were idiots. The crew headed back down to the beach and begun preparing to disembark, when they got there Luffy spotted something odd.

"Looks like we have company," Luffy pointed across the beach toward what appeared to be a platoon of men approaching them crawling like crabs.

"What…" Sajni started.

"The…" Luffy continued.

"Hell?" Usopp finished.

"Why are they crawling like that? Wouldn't it be easier and faster to walk?" Connor asked.

The platoon came to a halt in front of them then stood up like normal people. The apparent leader of the men stepped closer towards the crew then spoke.

He was a tall, tan man; He had black hair and wore a 'White Berets' hat. He wore a light-blue coat dropped over his shoulders, and a short sleeved purple shirt underneath. His pants have a cloud design and held up by a simple, brown belt, black boots, and a pair of small white wings on his back.

His men were wearing the same uniform as the leader.

"Well look what we have here! These must be the Blue Sea dwellers who have illegally entered Skypiea!" the man spoke.

"That's right, who are you?" Luffy asked.

"I am Captain McKinly, Leader of the White Berets," McKinly announced "and you are all criminals of Skypiea,"

"Wait…what?" Usopp asked.

"How? What did we do wrong?" Sanji demanded.

"You did not pay the entry fee at Heaven's Gate," McKinly answered.

"But the old lady said we did not have too," Luffy pointed out.

"That is correct you did not have to but in doing so you have entered illegally and are now considered criminals," McKinly claimed.

"That's stupid!" Sanji yelled.

"Now calm down, as this is a fairly common crime you can get off easily by just paying the fine," McKinly claimed.

"Wait entering illegally is considered a low lever crime?" Luffy asked.

"Indeed it happens all the time with Blue Sea dwellers," McKinly confirmed.

"So…we pay the fine and we can go about our bossiness unhindered…that's it?" Usopp asked, something did not seem right.

"Indeed, the fine is ten times the entrance fee ten times the original fee," McKinly claimed.

The Straw Hats jaws dropped that, the 8 billion extols per person, or a grand total, of 80 billion extols, which was apparently equivalent to 80 million beris.

The Straw Hats promptly expressed outrage at the massive fee.

"That's way too much!" they yelled angrily.

"This is your first warning! The White Beret's work for Mighty Enel himself, arguing with us will only increase your debts!" The Captain ignored the Straw Hats anger and appeared annoyed that the crew were not willing to pay.

Usopp then tried to talk sense into the group.

"Our Navigator keeps all the money, is it alright if we wait until she gets back before paying?" Usopp asked.

"As long as you pay, but we will wait with you," McKinly answered.

"Usopp what are you doing? You can't be serious in wanting to pay these people," Sanji demanded.

Usopp turned to his crew.

"Look for now we should stay here, if we leave, we might miss Nami. She's bound to have some beris stashed somewhere so she can pay our way out. In the meantime let's try not to upset these White Berets," the sniper said reasonably.

"I suppose it can't hurt…what could go wrong?" Sanji agreed.

Sanji then led Robin off to the side to serve here some tea, Zoro lay down for a nap and Usopp Connor and Chopper found a fishing spot.

While they were waiting Luffy brought out the damaged Waver that he had salvaged from the ship that fell from the sky. He asked if Pagaya could possibly fix it. Payga said he could as long as the Wind Dial was intact.

However McKinly took one look at the craft, elevated the crime level of the Straw Hats from level 11 to level 10, apparently due to criminal damage.

"Wait what did we do now?" Usopp asked.

"You have damaged Skypiea property," McKinly declared and pointed at the Waver.

"But that's ours, we brought it with us from the Blue Sea," Sanji insisted.

"Don't be ridicules, its common knowledge that Blue Sea dwellers did not use Wavers," McKinly snorted "This craft was clearly stolen, you are now level 9 criminals,"

Before Luffy could do anything drastic Usopp grabbed him and dragged him further down the beach to do some fishing with Chopper and Connor, it thankfully kept the trouble making Captain occupied. This worked until Usopp caught an extremely large and violent fish that attempted to eat Coins.

Luffy took it down with one punch and Sanji came over wondering how to cook it.

"Well well this is unfortunate; this is a rare and endangered species of fish. It's Capture is prohibited," McKinly said as he walked over.

"Looks tasty, Sanji cook it," Luffy ordered.

"Hmmm it's rather large…it won't fit on a frying pan…maybe we could cook it over a bonfire," Sanji mused.

"NO! WE'RE NOT EATING IT!" Usopp yelled, he did not want to get into more trouble.

Luffy however started taking bites out of the fish.

"You have broken the law against endangered species, you are now a level 8 class criminals," McKinly announced smugly.

At this point Sanji Luffy and Chopper had had enough, Sanji was about to lose patience, but thankfully Usopp diffused the situation by conniving the Straw Hats to take a nap n the beach as there was no law against that.

But apparently there was a law against snoring and they were elevated to level 6 criminals. Before any further action could be taken Nami appeared approaching the beach.

"Nami! Thank god!" Usopp screamed, "We need you to pay the entrance fee of 8 million beris!"

The Sniper only realised what he was asking after saying it out loud. Usopp had just asked Nami, the stingiest person they had ever met to fork over 8 million beris… more money than most people saw over an entire lifetime.

'Oh… this isn't going to end well,' Luffy and Sanji thought together.

And it didn't.

Nami in a blind rage slammed the Waver into the recovering McKinly instantly sending him flying.

"That's way too steep!" She shouted.

Her actions proved to be the powder keg and McKinly lost his patience with the Blue Sea pirates.

"You have been found guilty of the level 5 crime of assaulting the White Berets! Your punishment will be DEATH!" McKinly yelled as staggered to his feet.

He then signalled his men to attack; they fired arrows which appeared to emit solid clouds, which the tips and they then proceeded to skate on using the same devices that the masked attacker from the White Sea had worn.

However the Straw Hats had had enough and charged at the White Berets; the battle was over in less than ten seconds. Both Luffy and Sanji both took delight in punching and kicking McKinly in the face.

"Well that was underwhelming." Connor commented, as he sheathed his sword.

"Yeah even the marines pose a bigger challenge than these guys," Zoro agreed.

"How is he still standing?" Connor asked from where he was watching on the ship

"It is rather impressive that he is even conscious after being hit in the face by a Waver, Sanji and Luffy in quick succession," Robin agreed.

"You idiots don't know what you've done!" the McKinly grunted out from the ground.

The crew members all looked down at him, waiting for him to clarify his statement,

"You are now level 2 criminals! To be dealt with by the priests of Upper Yard themselves!" McKinly declared before passing out from his injuries.

The White Berets went into a panic over the defeat of their Captain and it was Conis that suggested that they take McKinly away for treatment. The White Berets put him on a stretcher and crawled away while carrying the stretcher.

"It would be faster if they walked," Chopper commented.

Nami decided to use this opportunity to tell the rest of the crew what had happened on Gods land, Luffy was disappointed that Nami had come back because now he had lost his excuse for wanting to go to Upper Yard.

"We should leave while there gone," Nami declared.

"But Nami I want to go on an adventure," Luffy whined.

"We can have all the adventures you want back on our own ocean," Nami said.

"But it's a forbidden land," Luffy pleaded.

"We are not going back there, I almost died," Nami warned.

"Please….what's more important adventure or your life?" Luffy asked.

Nami grabbed Luffys head and threw it towards the ground with such force that it went through the cloud layer and he struggled to get himself out.

"MY LIFE FOLLOWED BY MONEY!" Nami yelled.

"Alright everyone prepare to sail, we're going home and that's final," Nami declared.

Luffy pulled his head out of the clouds and looked towards Pagaya.

"Hey can we take the leftover food?" Luffy asked.

"Of course," Pagaya answered.

"Yay, Sanji Pirate lunch boxes," Luffy demanded.

Sanji sighed but agreed and followed Luffy to back to Papyga's house. Usopp also went back to borrow some supplies to repair the Merry.

"Hey where are you going?" Nami called after them.

"To get lunch," Luffy grinned.

"But…" Nami tried.

"Don't worry Nami-swan, we'll be back," Sanji claimed.

"You guys stay on the ship until we get back okay," Luffy called back

Connor, Robin, Chopper and Zoro watched them go for, the ship and Nami climbed aboard and changed from her beach wear back into regular clothes. She wanted to find a way to get back to the Blue Sea without Luffy noticed what they were doing but it would be difficult.

While they were preparing the ship Conis came on board to say good bye, she also told Nami about a way back down to the Blue Sea.

"A current that leads straight to Clouds end?" Nami asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's a fast Cloud Current that passes Upper yard, it's very strong so once you're on it you won't be able to get off until you reach Clouds end," Connis claimed.

"Where is this current?" Robin asked.

"It's just north of Angel beach so a lot of ships and wavers avoid it," Conis answered.

Robin looked at Conis suspiciously.

"All right, we can get on that current and bypass Upper yard" Nami declared happily "By the time Luffy realises that we're not going there it'll be too late,"

"If you're going home could you tell Luffy to hurry up?" Nami asked.

"Yes, if you raise your anchor you can go as soon as the others return," Conis said.

"Umm everyone…I'm sorry," Conis said suddenly.

"For what?" Zoro asked.

"For everything," Conis answered.

The Straw Hats looked at each other confused and then back at her.

"If is about those White Berets…it wasn't your fault," Chopper said.

Conis smiled and nodded.

"I wish you a safe trip and…good luck," Coins said and she left the ship.

Connor watched her from the ship and when Conis was a back on the beach she looked back sadly at them. Connor gave her a wave which she returned before heading into the trees to the path back to her house.

"That was odd," Robin commented.

"What do you mean?" Connor asked.

"I mean why would she suddenly tell us about a safe way back to our own sea?" Robin asked "If there was a safe way down why di

"Well you herd Conis this place hardly ever gets visitors,"

"But…if there is a safe way down why is she telling us? Aren't we criminals, wouldn't helping us escape put her and her father in danger?" Robin reasoned.

"That's a good point," Chopper added.

"Who cares, we have an escape route," Nami said waving Robins concerns off "Lets just raise the anchor and then we can leave once Luffy and the others get back,"

Nami turned around intending to get Zoro to raise the anchor but found the swordsman asleep. So she had Chopper do it instead. However as soon as the anchor was raised something hit the ship causing it to shake.

"What was that?" Nami asked urgently.

But before anyone could answer the ship started to move backwards as an alarming rate.

"What's going on…why are we moving?" Chopper panicked.

Conis's and Pagaya's house

Luffy Sanji and Usopp were restocking on supplies, Sanji was making lunch, Usopp was helping himself to nails and wood and Luffy was eating Sanjis ingredients; much to the cooks annoyance. Once Usopp was satisfied with what he had he stood up and walked out on the balcony.

He spied the Merry heading away from the beach.

"LUFFYYYYY! SOMEONES STEALING THE SHIP!" Usopp panicked.

"WHAT?!" Luffy and Sanji cried out, they ran out to the balcony and saw the Merry was indeed moving away.

Sanji quickly grabbed Usopp's binoculars and looked through them, he could see Nami and the others were holding on to the railing she looked scared.

"Not good…not good," Sanji hissed.

"What are they hurt?" Usopp asked worriedly.

Sanji turned to Usopp and looked at him with tears coming from his eyes.

"Nami's wearing a shirt," he cried.

"WHY ARE YOU ONLY LOOKING THERE!" Usopp yelled angrily.

"I don't get it…where are they going?" Luffy asked.

"They're going to be sacrificed…Heavens judgment has begun," Conis said gravely as she entered the room.

The pirates turned around and looked at her.
