Sanji, Luffy, and Cray were surrounding Satori who was now in a crater Unconscious with a couple teeth knocked out and his googles shattered.
"Glad that this is over with." Cray said
" you said it , he coudln't have shut up any sooner? nothing worse then being humilitated by a guy who looks like this." Sanji said
"At least he had some neat tricks, like predicting our moves before we even did them." Luffy said
"LUFFY, CRAY, SANJI!" Ussop yelled running towards them
they looked and noticed Ussop running towards them
I FOUND THE BOAT!...BUT WE GOT TO HURRY I'M SERIOUS! IF WE DON'T GET IT SOON WE'LL BE STUCK HERE!" Ussop yelled
"I guess ussops okay?" Sanji said
"Glad that he was doing something more then just hiding." Cray said
"He said something about our boat." Luffy said
"COME ON DIDN"T HEAR ME!? GET UP HERE AND HOLD ON TO MY BODY!" Ussop yelled
Cray, Sanji, and Luffy climbed out of crater and looked at what Ussop was doing
"alright grapple hook go!" Ussop yelled shooting out his waist grapple hook the hook then wrapped around the boats figurehead.
"Now that's what I call marksmanship." Ussop said
"Wow good shot!" Cray said
"Great work Ussop!"Luffy said
"Alright everyone hold tight!" Ussop said
"Sanji, Cray and Luffy then grabbed onto ussop
"Okay lets get going Ussop." Luffy said
"Right." Ussop said pressing the button but something went wrong, and the rope was still going
"Uh Usop why aren't we going?" Cray said
"I don't know I think its stuck Again!" Ussop yelled
suddenly the rope started to pull them forward. and then
"Come on you stupid thing!" Ussop yelled hitting it.
Then suddenly all four of them were then launched forward all four of them were being knocked back in forth against trees as they were getting closer to the boat.
(the Crow)
All four of them were laying on the boat beaten and bruised after that painful ride to the boat Ussop face was half submerged in the milky road gargling water.
"that hurt so bad." Ussop said weakly
"i won;t let you forget this." Sanji said in pain
"Remind me to never hitch a ride from you ever again." Cray said
"you know I could've just stretched our way to the boat instead." Luffy said
"Well were on it now and thats all that matters." Ussop said
.
The News of Satori falling spread fast across the Upper Yard, alarming the four remaining priests that were on the island, now thinking one of them being from the Ordeal of Dials
(The Ordeal of Wind)
A man by the name of Nanto wearing some dirty worn out overalls along with a huge Spiky shell on his back along with a hat sized one on his head and with a few dials around his waist, was sitting by, juggling a couple of dials in one of his hands thinking.
"hmm..It seems that Satori bit more then he could chew..idiot...it seems that our criminals are not to be taken lightly...news of his fall will spread soon and not just here...I wonder" Nanto said stopping his juggling
Nanto then took out a long distant Tone dial from his waist belt and then tossed it in high into the air, after about ten seconds later, it started to come down and he caught in his hand he then pressed the Apex on the shell. and as he did he could hear the sound of battle cries and jet ski's heading towards Upper Yard. and just as he got done listening to it a huge explosion just erupt in the distance.
"So you've come Shandians." Nanto said along with with other priests in their respective Area.
As they continued onward down the milky road. Luffy was curious about what Cray did during the fight with Satori.
"Hey Cray." Luffy said
"Yeah Luffy." Cray said
"I'm curious, back when we were fighting that round guy, what was that awesome technique that you did?" Luffy said
"Oh you mean my Prism Coating technique." Cray said
"Yeah." Luffy said
"Now that you mention it I'm a bit curious to, I mean you almost got the drop on that guy the first time." Ussop said
"Well theirs not really that much to say, to be frank its sort of new to me, From what I experienced back in Alabasta it seems to give my color powers a bit of a "Sting" to it, and it allows me to combine two colors at once to make an even more stronger attack." Cray said
"But the only thing we saw you do was combine Red and green though, couldn't you have done anything else?" Luffy said
"Well its not like my powers come with clear cut instructions Luffy I'm still trying to understand it." Cray said kind of annoyed
"Okay I get it don't get all worked up." Luffy said
"Hey guys, I can see the exit." Sanji said driving
"Yes, we can finally kiss this creepy forest goodbye." Ussop said with a sigh of relief
As they made it out of the thick forest they were now in a open field with many different milky roads spreading across in different direction and also...short poles with Skeleton heads on them spreading across the whole open field.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggh." Ussop said in a state of shock.
"Well this is pleasant." Cray said in a sarcastic tone.
"What do you think this place is?" Luffy said
"its probably another Ordeal area, everyone stay sharp." Sanji said
"Oh come on, one Ordeal was bad enough as it was but now another one, and look around you theres sticks with skulls on them" Ussop said scared
"Yeah what the heck is up with that?" Luffy said
"I wonder what ordeal we'll have to put up with next, Iron?, Swamp, Dial or String?" cray said
"Whatever it is I'm actually pretty excited." Luffy said
"are you nuts!? if the priest wins it'll be "our" heads on those sticks!" Ussop yelled
"don;t worry were not going to lose." Luffy said
"KABOOM!"
out in the distance, the four of them saw a huge explosion along with some battle cries
"What the heck is going on over there?" Cray said looking out in the distance.
"OH NO IS IT ONE OF THE PRIESTS!?" Ussop yelled
"well what ever it is it seems to be heading our way really quickly." Luffy said
"WHAT!?" Ussop yelled
In but a fraction of a second a few figures came jetting right above them, all of them looking like they came from a certain tribe. And one of them shot a bazooka right at the four.
"INCOMING!" Ussop yelled
"You Dirt bag!" Gum Gum..Balloon!" Luffy yelled inflating his stomach to deflect the Blast.
the tribe then landed on top of nearby trees surprised on what just happened.
"how did he do that?" One of the tribe men said
"Its a paramecia, he must've ate a devil fruit." The leader said with his bazooka in his hands
Sanji then started to take a good look of the leader, and the weapon that he had
"Hey guys, the one with the bazooka, thats the same guy that attacked us back on the White Sea." Sanji said
Yeah your right...man we got our asses kicked." Cray said thinking back to that painful encounter.
"HEY JERK! WHATS THE BIG IDEA!? DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT!?" Luffy yelled at the bazooka guy
"LISTEN! if you don't want to die, go back to the blue sea immediately..if you and your friends got any funny ideas about doing something to this island, we'll eliminate you along with Eneru!" the Leader yelled out
"It looks like there going after Eneru to?" Cray said
"We should just leave them alone right luffy!?" ussop said
"WHAT DID YOU SAY DIRTBAG! C'MON I'LL BEAT YOU UP!" Luffy yelled while Ussop was holding him back
"Stop Luffy! are you trying to get us killed!?" Ussop yelled holding him
"Let go! I'm coming over there you jerk! just stay put! I'll pay you back tenfold!" Luffy yelled still trying to get Ussop off of him
"I said "Go Back" this is your one and only warning!" The leader yelled out going away along with his men.
After they went off Ussop then let go of Luffy with a sigh of relief.
"What the hell is up with that guy?" Luffy said in anger
"Well whatever it is it seems that he's not a big fan of Eneru." Sanji said
"And us." Cray said
" dammit What is with this island?" Ussop said
Were moving on." Sanji said
"Oh no " My "I don't want to go into the forest" Disease is kicking in." Ussop said
...
In the middle of the woods the Shandians continued on there attacks on the priests all four of them defending there Area. One group in Particular was facing against Nanto, who was just simply hiding away in his large shell that was strapped on his back as four shandians surrounded him with Dial powered Bazookas aimed Right at him
"FIRE!" One of them yelled
All four Shandians fired there weapons but as they did small man made compartments on the sides of the large shifted opened with dials on them the dials then absorbed the impact of the explosions.
"What the hell?" One Shandian said
The dials were then shot ot of there compartments at the Shandians and as soon as the Dials touched them they exploded on impact, destroying the Dials in the process.
Nanto then popped out of his shell stretching his limbs
"Its such a shame having to waste perfectly good dials on people so worthless." Nanto said in a frustrated manner walking towards the bodies, looking at the effect of his Explosive Dials
He could then sense more shandians coming his way, but he didn't pay much attention to them as they fell right into his Dial trap.
"There he is one of the Priests!"
As soon as the Shandians were getting closer they felt strange, they were then caught by surprise as they felt themselves being blown away by a surprisingly powerful gust of wind. and As the Shandians were sent flying, they didn't notice that they were about to crash into a huge tree covered in the same Dials that he used earlier. all that ca be heard were explosions and faint screams
(The Crow: Sunset)
"We've come really far. and no problems I wonder if it'll be like this the rest of the way to the Altar?" Ussop said
"the sun will be setting soon." Sanji said
"The twilight looks really nice." Cray said
"Hey look, theroad is leading us up this huge tree!" Luffy said excited
"This isn't something to be excited about Luffy, I got a bad feeling about this? what if something bad is on the other side?" Ussop said
"The preists might be waiting for us, be ready." Sanji said
As they made up the tall tree they then started to slide down at an incredibly high speed.
"HEY LOOK DOWN THERE!" luffy yelled
"IS IT THE PRIESTS!?" Ussop said
As they looked down they noticed a bunch of Sky Shark at the bottom.
"No just Sky sharks." Cray said
"THERE HUGE WERE GOING TO GET EATEN!" Ussop yelled
Luffy the Quickly jumped on top of the figurehead.
"GUM GUM...GATLING!" Luffy yelled
Luffy then started to rapidly punch forward hitting the approaching Skysharks so that they'll land safely.
"That was a close one." Ussop said
"Hey Look, I can see Going Merry!" Cray yelled
"Where!?" Luffy yelled
Cray pointed at the big sacrificial Altar with Going Merry on top of it.
"HEY YOU GUYS!"
All four of them looked at the shore and saw Zoro, Nami, and Robin calling for them.
"Nami-swan, Robin-chan! Sorry to keep you waiting!" Sanji said with heart eyes
(The Going Merry)
What...What happened to the Mast!?" Ussop said shocked
All of them were now on there ship noticing the huge damage, the majority of the ship was burned and the Mast was completely gone, but what really caught everyones attention was Chopper s appearance which looked like he got into a huge fight, with bandage wrapped around his body. he explained how he was attacked by a weird man with a flying bird and spear that shot fire.
"Chopper are you alright? how are your woounds?" Cray said concerned
"I'm fine, and I'm sorry...I tried to defend the ship as best I could, but I wasn't good enough." Chopper said about to break into tears
"Its okay chopper, by the looks of it I can tell that you gave it your all." Cray said
Chopper then went to the side of the ship and shouted in determination.
"I PROMISE THAT I WILL BECOME A MORE DEPENDABLE MAN!" Chopper yelled
"By the way Chopper how did you manage to get rid of one of the priests?' Luffy said
"I used the whistle and the Sky Knight rescued me." chopper said
"The Sky Knight!? where is he now?" Luffy said
(Inside the ship)
The Straw Hats looked down at the Sky Knight who was now resting on a mattress along with his bird-horse standing by.
"Man he looks really bad." Cray said concerned
"He fought this hard even though he gave the whistle for free." Luffy said
"If it wasn't for him, me and the ship wouldn't have survived." Chopper said
"I guess our questions for him we'll have to wait for now, and with the state of the ship and the sun setting we won't be able to make it to angel island till at least tomorrow. In any case lets all head to the forest and camp at the lakeshore." Sanji said
"Why?" Luffy said
"think about it Luffy, what if that priest comes back and we all have to fight? the ship will be decimated more then it is already and then we'll be really screwed." Cray said
"Also Its probably a little easier to fight on the shore don't you think?" Sanji said to Luffy
"Yay your right...ALRIGHT THEN CAMPING PARTY TIME!" Luffy yelled jumping with excitement along with Chopper
"This isn't the time to be partying Luffy! were still in enemy territory you know!" ussop yelled
"Alright lets start this party off by cooking these SkySharks." Luffy said
"why do I even bother?" Ussop said annoyed.
(The Lakeshore later that day)
After setting up camp along with a campfire, everyone decided to to put together what they've found or experienced. Luffy was eating while Chopper was still taking care of the Sky Knight who they brought along to the lakeshore. Sanji was grinding up some medical herbs for chopper to help with the Sky Knight.
"all right everyone, as of right now we should put together on what we've seen or experienced our group will go first." Ussop said right by a chalkboard
"For us we met this weird round guy named Satori who was one of the priest who used Deadly spheres as weapons, but not only that he was also able to predict our movements with a technique that he called Mantra." Sanji said
"A priest named Shura who appeared out of nowhere used a spear and a giant bird that both can shoot fire. he seemed to also predict my moves as well. the mast was destroyed and the Sky Knight lost as well" Chopper said
"You guys had it rough...But we discovered that this island is actually a the missing half of Jaya, The city of Gold didn't sink to the bottom of the ocean, but instead flew up in the sky." Nami said
"Alright then well based on all our reports we've learned many different things, howeve the biggest discovery is this... beleive it or not this Island is the city of Gold!" Ussop yelled
"The City of Gold!? I've been waiting for an Adventure like this!" Luffy said
"Thats what I like to hear!" Nami said thinking of the treasure
"Ugh luffy have you completely forgotten about the warning that Guerilla said to us earlier?" Ussop said
"Who cares? We didn't come all this way and then just to head back empty handed because some jerk told us to. Besides (Smiling) if there really is a City of Gold on this island I'm in...an entire city constructed entriely in gold? I can't wait to see what kind Artistry people have done there." Cray said with excitement
"Now thats the Spirit Cray!" Luffy yelled in excitement
"Sounds like Fun." Robin said chuckling a little
"Well we are pirates after all, we can't just back off if theirs treasure involved, can we?" Sanji said
'We've already got enough enemies, its gonna be a huge survival game. Sounds fun." Zoro said with confidence
"You guys..aren't you at least a little bit afraid of the wrath of God?...COME ON I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE!?" Ussop said crying in fear
"HAHA! ALRIGHT! LETS DO IT! CITY OF GOLD! HERE WE COME!" Luffy yelled in excitement.
I'm sorry if this Chapter felt like Filler, hopefully the next one will be more exciting, Also I hope you liked my little introduction on my OC Villian that I came up with for this arc, I am still constructing on how the confrontation between him and Cray will be so the next chapter will probably take a while, Anyway Everyone have an Awesome day and if you have spare time, please leave a Review I would love to hear your opinions. Bye For Now.
