(Down in the Ocean)

The Group known as the Blackbeard Pirates that was trying to capture Luffy was floating there with there broken ship looking up at the Sky.

"Zihahahahahaha Drat, they got away." Blackbeard said

"They're Lucky." Doc Q the crews Doctor said

"Your Pretty carefree Blackbeard, After our prey just got away!" Burgess the helmsman of the crew said

" Don't fret Burgess, they haven't left this world! We'll run into them soon enough, as Long as we're in the Grandline." Blackbeard said

"Exactly Al things in this World are cogs that Move in tune to strong desires." Van Augur the sniper of the Crew said

"In the Mean time though we still got other Pirates we can find." Blackbeard said taking out a few Wanted Posters one of them a Wanted Women with the name:

Sound Queen Alisa.


(Up in the sky)

"(COUGH) (COUGH)" Nami gagged Laying on the deck along with everyone else Coughing out the water that they passed through.

"Damn what happened.. is everyone here?" Zoro said catching his breath

"UGH, my whole body feels numb." Cray said trying to shake off the feeling.

"Hey Guys, Look Outside the ship!" Luffy yelled

everyone got up to notice that there was nothing but Clouds.

"What is this place?" Sanji said

"Its pure white!" Luffy yelled

"Clouds!?" chopper yelled

"How are we staying on them?" Nami said

" Its like an open ocean!" Cray yelled

An Ocean..In the sky!?" Ussop yelled in surprise

Nami took a look at her Log Pose.

"But look you guys the Log Pose is still pointing up." Nami said

"It seems were in the middle section of these cumuloregalis clouds. "Robin said

"does that mean we need to go higher?" chopper said

"I don't know." Robin said

"I don't think we can get any higher then this now that are Wings are gone..Dammit I worked so hard on those." Cray said complaining.

I'm going to dive in!" Ussop yelled

"hey hye don;t be reckless this ocean is still a mystery." Sanji said

"an Oceans an Ocean!" Ussop said jumping in diving

"He's so brave!" Chopper yelled

"Oh man I wish I can swim." Luffy said

"I bet its fun." Chopper said

After a while Ussop hasn't come up.

"Ugh why isn't Ussop coming back up?" Cray said

"I was just Wondering..do you think this ocean has a bottom?" Robin said

"OH CRAP!" Cray yelled

"That idiot! you don't think he fell did he!?.." Zoro yelled

"USSOP!" Luffy yelled Streching one of his arms down the Cloud Ocean.

"Stretch your arm as far as yoou can Luffy." Robin said

But I can't see anything." Luffy said

"Just leave it to me...Ojos Fleur." robin said crossing her arms and closing her eyes.

"Then suddenly Luffys stretched out hand now had eyes on it.

"Do you see him Robin?" Cray said

"Not yet." Robin said

Luffy arms then just reached the end of the Cloud Ocean, and there they saw Ussop Falling.

"I see him..Viente Fleur." robin said

Arms were now blooming out of luffys arm to grab ussop and pull him back towards Luffy.

Okay pull him up!" Robin said

Luffy then tried to Pull him back up.

"Man he's heavy." Luffy said

In just a few second Ussop then emerged from the Cloud Ocean and back right onto ship unconscious. But as soon as he did something else arrived with him, a Huge Squid like Creature along with the Eel Looking one.

AHHHHHHH!" Nami and Chopper yelled

Zoro Quickly went to attack the squid but as he the squid surprisingly popped, and also went the same way for Sanji as well as he took care of the eel.

'Man its hard to breath up here." Zoro said

"this is one strange creature, I'm not even sure its a fish?" Sanji said looking at the creature

"Yeah and that squid popped like a balloon, was it even real?" Cray said

"It was. balloons don't shriek like that." Zoro said

"I can't believe things live out here." nami said

"ERRRRAAHHHHHH!" Ussop yelled waking up

What is it Ussop!" Luffy yelled

Ussop then Grabbed something out of his Pants and threw it on the deck of the ship.

"Sky islands scary, sky islands scary." Ussop said repeating.

Robin looked at what Ussop threw on the deck and she picked it up.

"This is a skyfish, the ones that were described in Nolands Log Book, they must've evolved to survive in this bottomless sky ocean." Robin said

"Is that why they look all flat a ballon like?" Zoro said

"to be lighter, the bouyancy here is weaker than in the oceans below" Robin said

"they have scales like feathers and weird carnivore like teeth." Nami said

"I wonder if all the fish up here are like that." Cray said

Chopper was on the figure head looking out with some Binoculars.

"where is the SKy Island?" chopper said

As he was lookign he noticed another ship.

"Oh Hey guys! I see another ship...and one Person." Chopper yelled

then suddenly the ship blew up.

"EH!" Chopper shrieked.

Chopper dropped his binoculars and fell back on the deck.

"Whats wrong chopper? you said you saw a ship?" Cray said

"There was but now its gone...and now some bull is running on the water is heading straight for us!" Chopper yelled in fear.

"Your not making sense? What do you mean a bull?"Zoro said

Sanji looked out and then noticed someone skiing across the water, he hadweird tribal tattoos, and was wearing a weird looking mask.

"Its a person! someones coming!" Sanji yelled

the mysterious man jumped into the air towards there ship.

"Stop What do you want!?" Sanji yelled

"To eliminate you!" the masked man yelled

"Looks like he wants to fight!" Sanji yelled

"fine by me!" Zoro said unsheathing his sword.

Without given time to React. The masked man then Kicked Sanji halfway across the ship and into a wall. the Man Quickly recovered and then Kicked Zoro.

"Iro Revolver!" Cray yelled shooting out three Colors

"the masked man Quickly ducked and dodged the Attack and Kicked Cray right through the Door that was heading inside the ship, Along with face Planting Luffy right into the Deck.

"What is with you four!? Get him!" Nami yelled

The man Quickly jumped up high into the Air aiming his Bazooka looking weapon at the ship.

"AHHHHHH He's gonna shoot us!" Chopper yelled

"THAT IS FAR ENOUGH!"

The masked man was then attacked by another person, he was wearing knight armor, while riding on a mysterious creature, The Knight then attacked the masked man with his Javelin, the masked man was then sent flying towards the Cloud Ocean. The Knight then Landed onto the ship.

"Who's this now!?" Nami yelled

The Knight then turned around to face the was a much older man and had long white beard.

"I am the Sky Knight. Don't worry the mans gone now." the man said with his bird like creature by him

"Who was that guy!?...and what was with you guys!? Losing four against One!" Nami yelled as she saw the four of them breathing heavily

"thank you for saving us." chopper said

"I had no choice, this one is on the house." The Sky Knight said

"Man..Talking about being Worthless." Sanji said

"I can barely move well for some reason." Luffy said

"I can barely get any air in whats going on?" Cray said

" maybe its because were at such a high altitude the air is thinner here." Robin said

"Yeah..that makes sense." Sanji said

"Are you all Blue Sea people?" the Sky Knight said

Wait what do you mean Blue sea people?" Nami said

" Blue sea people ois the term for those who live beneath the clouds, in other words did you come up here from the blue sea?" the sky Knight said

"Yeah, that's right." Luffy said

"then I guess that explains why you have trouble breathing here." this is the white Sea, 7000 meters in the air. the White sea that's even further above us is 10,000 Ordinary Blue sea People can;t possibly endure it up here." The Sky Knight said

"Who was that guy speeding on top of clouds though?" chopper said

"now now I'm sure you have lots of Questions, but lets get down to business first...I am a freelance soldier for hire these sea are fraught with danger if you don;t know how to fight in the sky, Guerilla like that one, will turn you guys into Skyfish food. for a 5,000,000 Extol One Whistle I will help you." the Sky Knight said

all of them were just Dumbfounded.

"Ugh, a What?" Cray said

"What!? that is quite cheap! I won't lower it a single extol more! I need to earn a living to you know!" the sky knight yelled

"what in the World is an Extol? and whats this whistle or whatever?" Sanji said

"you all came here via the summit of High-West did you not? You must've passed an island or two up here? "the Sky Knight said

"Wait a minute, did you say there are other ways of coming to this sky Ocean?! and did you say one or two islands you mean theirs a lot more sky islands!?" Nami yelled

"Don;t tell you all came up here via..." the sky Knight said

"We used the Knock up Stream." Robin said

What!? that monstrous current..so there still are People gutsy enough for that." The Sky Knight said

"it wasn't a normal Route after all?..We Could've died you know we cou've found a much safer route if we gathered more information!" Nami yelled strangling Luffy

"why does it matter now, were still Alive and were here, no use getting upset over it." Cray said

Did you lose any of your crew?" the Sky Knight said

"No were all here." Luffy said

"That wouldn't have been the case with any other route, a 100 people head into the sky, a few arrive and someone survives. with Knock up stream its 50-50 you all die or all of you make it" The Sky Knight said

"So what your saying is The Knock Up stream was the safest route out of all the other ones we could've used?" Crays aid

"Pretty Much, but not many people would take that all-or-nothing gamble, especially these days. I now see that you are capable Navigators with courage and skill" the sky Knight said

"Yes, I must admit it was only because I was here. while these guys were on their knees crying and giving up on life It was I who navigate us through.."Ussop said

suddenly Ussops mouth was covered with a blue glob.

"Be quiet." Cray said annoyed

The Sky Knight then pulled out a whistle.

"One Blow of this One Whistle.. and I shall come to your aid. normally i would charge you but I will give you this one as a present." the Ksy knight said throwing the whistle down to the ship

"Wait you still haven;t told us your name!" Nami yelled

"My name is Gan Fall. and this is my partner Pierre." Gan Fall said with his pet.

"I forgot to mention Pierre is a bird that ate the horse horse fruit and gained its power." Gan Fall said as Pierre transformed into a horse with wings

"How...unexciting." The Straw hats said looking at the kind of disturbing looking Creature

"May Luck be With you.. Brave Warriors!" Gan Fall said flying away

"I don't get it, whats the point of that thing even transforming?" Cray said dumbfounded

"Good Question." The rest of them said

"And in the end, he didn't tell us anything." Robin said

"Your right nothing at all, and now were back to Square one, how do we get up to the other 3000 meters?" Zoro said

"I know lets call that old guy and ask." Luffy said ready to blow whistle

Nami and Ussop quickly stopped him

"No its only for emergencies only!" Nami yelled

"For now lets just take our ship somewhere." Zoro said

Chopper then looked out and noticed something.

"Hey guys look at that." chopper said

Robin looked and noticed huge figure on the distance that looked like a Waterfall

"It looks like a waterfall." Robin said

"alright its decided lets check it out." Zoro said

...

As they gotten closer to the figure, Nami was looking at her Log Pose, that was still pointing up.

"Hey stop stop!" Nami said

They Quickly stopped and noticed a huge and weird formation of clouds in front of the Waterfall.

"What kind of clouds are those?" Cray said

"If they were normal clouds they would keep moving." Nami said

"Lets touch onof them and found out, Gum Gum Pistol." Luffy yelled punching the Cloud only for it to bounce off.

"Hey it bounces!" Luffy said with excitement jumping onto the cloud.

Chopper then looked with Excitement seeing Luffy jump around everywhere.

"I'm not sinking and its all fluffy, Like cotton." Luffy said having fun

"Wow!" chopper yelled

"Me too, I'm coming too." Ussop yelled jumping onto the clouds.

Me too." chopper yelled jumping

"Hey that's does look like fun!" Cray said jumping into the clouds to.

All four of them were now bouncing around on the Fluffy clouds.

"Hey find route that the ship can get by!" Nami yelled

"Are you sure this is a good idea Cray?" Chopper said

"trust me me and my friend use to do this all the time, Now Luffy Once we three Jump on this side you Jump to got it?" Cray said to Luffy

"Got it." Luffy said smiling

"Okay 1...2.3!" Cray yelled

Chopper, Ussop and Cray Jumped, and Right as soon Luffy Jumped, the force of Cray, Chopper and Ussops Jump, Caused Luffys Side to Launch him High into the Air.

"WOOOOHOOOO!" Luffy yelled high into the air

"He's Flying!" Chopper yelled

"QUIT PLAYING AROUND!" Nami yelled

As Luffy was in the air something caught his eyes. he then landed right back on the cloud.

"Hey Guys I saw a Gate!" Luffy yelled out.

"What a Gate?" Nami said

All four them jumped back onto the ship. and starting to sail

"Yeah, theirs a big gate under that waterfall thingy." Luffy said

"There are Man made objects in a place like this?" Sanji said

"There could be anything in this Ocean, and it wouldn't be surprising considering that we may not be the only people to come here." Robin said

As they got closer to the Object they noticed that it had very distinct features with the name Heavens Gate.

"so that thing is a waterfall!" Nami said

"Heaven Gate? that sounds really unlucky?" Ussop said

"Maybe we died?" Zoro said

"Well that would explain this Weird World." Sanji said

"How can you guys say that so nonchalantly?" Cray said

"Get Real you guys!" Nami said

" look theres someone coming out." Ussop said

All of them looked Closely and noticed a short elderly woman holding what looked like to be a Camera.

"Look She has wings on her back!" Chopper said

"Is she an Angel!?" Luffy yelled

"So we really are dead?" Cray yelled

"I am Amazon, The Heavens Gate inspector. sightseeing or perhaps war?" The Angel said

"I guess were kind of sightseeing." Nami said

"We wanna go to the Sky Islands are they past this Gate!" Luffy yelled

If your going to the Upper Area, your going to have to pay the toll, one billion Extol per person, its the law." Amazon said

"ONE BILLION!" Ussop yelled

theres that Extol stuff again." Sanji said

"What ever it is it sounds Expensive." Chopper said

"One billion Per Person, Thats eight Billion for eight people." Robin said

"ergh that old lady is trying to scam u..." Ussop was cut short when Nami covered his mouth

"Um what if we don't have the money to pay for the Toll?" Nami said

"You can pass or you don't have to pass" Amazon said

"HUH!?" they all said

"I am neither a gatekeeper nor a guard I simply ask for your intentions." Amazon said

All of them were confused.

"Then Lets go! To the Sky Island!" Luffy yelled

"We don't have money but were going through." Ussop said

"I see...Eight of you then?" amazon said

"Yeah..But how are we going to get tot he Sky Island!?" Luffy said

Suddenly from underneath the Going Merry Two large claws grabbed both sides of the ship, shocking everyone.

"What is this!?" Cray yelled

"The White Seas Famous Express Lobster." Amazon said

they then felt themselves being accelerated up the Waterfall.

"Woah its taking us up the Waterfall!" Ussop yelled

"Everyone Hold on tight!" Nami yelled

Everyone just held on strong as the Giant Lobster carried them up the Waterfall

"This is Heaven Gate Inspector Amazon! Attention Almighty God and his Priests...Eight Illegal entrants into Gods Land, Skypeia...Give Unto them Heavens Judgement!"
