A/N: Before we begin, I've got something to say about all the messages I've been getting about who has sex with who. First off, the title is Luffy's Renewed Adventure. Luffy's! Meaning he's the one who I planned to pair up with women. Yet everyone keeps sending me something about having other pairs. It's a harem for Luffy. Stop asking about other people. You want them paired up? Write your own fic about them! Zoro will still have a girl, but that's it! If any others have anything, it'll be of my choosing! Now then, on to the story!
-On the ship-
Alvida, Gin, Vivi, and Carue watched as Chopper slowly slid down on side of the steps towards the water to retrieve the hammer that he had dropped. He kept on sliding until he got to the bottom step and slowly crept towards the hammer, afraid that he'd attract the skysharks if he was too loud.
'Slowly...slowly.' he repeated in his head as he quietly picked up the hammer. 'Great!' he thought with a smile. 'Now we can repair the ship.' He was about to walk back up, but began to scream and flail about when a bird in the distance made a noise.
"It's a bird, you dumbass!" Gin shouted as Chopper clamped his mouth shut. "Get back up here!"
"R-ri-right!" Chopper stuttered before a skyshark jumped out and was now flying towards him, causing him to scream.
"CHOPPER!" shouted the crew as Chopper instinctively jumped to avoid being eaten before the skyshark began to try and throw him off. It then launched Chopper away as it dived back into the water, causing the scared reindeer to land safely on the deck of the ship.
"That was close!" Vivi sighed before they ran up to check on their friend.
"You okay?" Alvida asked as Chopper tried to breathe.
"Course he's alright. He got the hammer and safely made it back." Gin said with a small smile.
"I NEARLY GOT EATEN! I COULD'VE FALLEN INTO THE WATER! WHY COULDN'T YOU GET THE HAMMER?!" Chopper yelled up at Gin, tears in his eyes.
"Why? You dropped it. Some problems you gotta fix on your own." Gin stated.
"Isn't that a little harsh?" Vivi asked, feeling sympathetic to Chopper.
"Don't baby him." Alvida said. "Chopper has to learn to man up and fight. We won't be there forever."
"B-But..." Chopper whimpered. "I'm scared."
"How can you be scared? What? You think we'd ignore you if as well?" Gin asked.
"No, but..." Chopper trailed off. "I'm not at strong as you guys."
"Then get stronger. Problem solved." Gin said as he picked up some wood. "Now let's fix the...ship." He stopped talking when a sound started getting louder. They all looked at the direction it came and spotted a giant bird with purple feathers on most of it's body, with a white head and red feathers around around it's neck. And riding upon it looked to be a man in an aviator type outfit with a lance in his hand.
"What's that?" Chopper asked as he nervously watched the bird and it's rider get closer.
"My guess? Someone coming to claim us as a sacrifice." Alvida said as everyone became apprehensive when the bird was now flying before them.
"Hmm. Five of you?" said the man with a grin. "Guess that means I get to kill more than the others." Everyone glared at the man except for Chopper, who immediately put the whistle to his lips.
FWEEEEEEEEEEEE!
-Somewhere far from Upper Yard-
Gan Fall, Conis, Pagaya, Su, and Pierre were all at Gan Fall's home, safe from Enel's wrath. Gan Fall was calmly watering his pumpkin patch while Conis played her harp. Pagaya stared at his drink while Su and Pierre rested. Gan Fall, Conis, and Pagaya began to discuss a few things, such as Luffy and his friends being pirates, the war between the Shandians and the Sky People, and the Song of the Island.
"When the Island sings once more, the war between the Shandians and Sky People will finally end." said Gan Fall, a smile on his face. "And one day, that song will be heard." His good mood faded when Pierre began crowing in panic, signalling that someone was calling him.
"Where are you going?" Pagaya asked as Gan Fall donned his armor.
"I've got work to do! WATCH OVER THIS PLACE WHILE I'M GONE!" he shouted as he and Pierre took off into the sky. Conis and her father watched him fly away as Pagaya fixed the broken Waver that Luffy and his friends had. Conis drank her pumpkin juice while Pagaya suggested something out of the blue.
"Conis my child. What would you say to helping the Blue Sea Dwellers?" he asked.
"Help them?" Conis asked in surprise.
"Yes. Help them escape back to the Blue Sea?" Conis only smiled, fully approving that idea.
-With Luffy's group-
Luffy and the others were locked in a fight with Satori, who used his mantra and Surprise Clouds to fight against them.
"Hold still!" Nojiko shouted as she and Usopp shot at Satori, who kept on jumping from cloud to cloud as he read her movements.
"Useless." Satori said with a smile before he dodged a glob of red paint flying at him. Sanji tried a kick to his legs, only for Satori to jump and blast Sanji away again.
"This is getting nowhere." Sanji wheezed as he picked himself up.
"I told you. You have to surprise him." Luffy said as he watched from the boat.
"IT'D HELP IF YOU'D LEND A HAND!" Usopp yelled.
"Even if he did, it wouldn't make a difference. Ho-Hoooo!" Satori laughed while he danced before he kicked the cloud he was dancing on straight towards Grace at a rapid speed. Grace tried to run, only to trip over a root and fall to the ground. She turned to the cloud and screamed before the cloud exploded a few feet away from her, causing them all to wonder what just happened.
"Phew. That was close." Luffy sighed with his fist held up, his body red and steaming before turning back to normal.
'What was that? Was he steaming?' Satori thought.
"EXPLODING STAR!" Usopp shouted as he fired at Satori again, only for Satori to easily dodge it. "Shit! Missed again!"
"It's impossible to defeat me. I am a Priest who serves under the almighty God Enel! Ho-Ho-Hoooo!" Satori laughed while dancing.
"God? Don't make me laugh." Everyone turned to see Luffy sitting on the boat, a look of anger in his eyes. "That bastard Enel is no God."
"H-HOW DARE YOU!" Satori yelled at Luffy. To hear anyone talk smack about God Enel was downright blasphemous. "I'LL TEACH YOU TO DISRESPECT GOD ENEL! I WAS SAVING THIS FOR LATER, BUT I'LL USE IT AND KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" He then pulled out a cane that looked to be a giant candy cane as a Surprise Cloud with a dragon mask was connected to a long string of Surprise Clouds behind it. "SURPRISE CLOUD CHAIN! CLOUD DRAGON!"
"What is that thing?!" Usopp yelled as they all stared at the dragon.
"My masterpiece!" Satori said, a dark smile on his face. "A string of Suprise Clouds containing shrapnel and explosives. Touch the one containing flames, and you'll die in a fabulous explosion! Now, DIE!" he yelled as he sent the dragon directly at Luffy, who ran away from the dragon. "HOLD STILL!" Satori yelled before Luffy vanished. "What?! Where'd he go?"
"Looking for me?" Luffy asked from right behind him, causing Satori to freak out as Luffy hung on.
"WAH! How'd you get there?!" Satori yelled as he tried to throw Luffy off of him. "Let go of me! Get off! What are you, some kind of sicko! I said, LET GO!"
"Hey Luffy!" Satori and Luffy both looked down to see Nojiko, Usopp, Sanji, and Grace standing below them with a smile. Nojiko held her hand up that was now holding onto a familiar cane before asking, "Can you hold him there while we decide what to do with this?"
"Huh?" Satori said dumbstruck before his mind caught up with what he was seeing. In his fit to throw Luffy off of himself, he had released the cane that was connected to the dragon via a string. Now it was in the hands of his enemies. "AAAAAHHHHHHH! MY CANE! MY DRAGON! GIVE THAT BACK! LET GO OF ME!"
"Alright!" Luffy said as he wrapped himself around Satori with his rubbery limbs. Satori was now kicking and thrashing to get Luffy to let go of him, claiming that they were cheating and ganging up on him and that not being judged by a Priest was a Class-1 crime, the same as declaring war on God Enel himself.
"Blah blah blah. Shut up." Usopp said in annoyance as the others wondered what to do with the Cloud Dragon.
"Hmmm. Well, we could use it to finish that dumpling guy off." Nojiko thought out loud.
"Whoa! Time out! Luffy's the only reason he's even able to be hit now!" Usopp argued. "If we hit him with the dragon, we'll blow Luffy up as well! And if Luffy moves, that Priest is gonna dodge! It's a lose-lose situation!" Nojiko and the others went back to thinking for a bit before Sanji spoke.
"Hey Luffy! You have that technique that makes your body like iron or something, right?" he asked.
"Yeah! Why?" Luffy asked.
"Good! Use it!" Sanji yelled with a smile before looking at the others. "Don't worry. Luffy'll live."
"Wait! Are you sure?!" Usopp yelled before Sanji took the cane and waved the dragon around in the air.
"Okay, so that's left. That's right. So this," he said before pointing it at Satori and Luffy, causing the dragon to fly at them. "Is forward!"
"AHH! THE DRAGON'S COMING THIS WAY! MOVE! GET OFF! LET GO! HELP ME!" Satori screamed as Sanji and the others took cover behind a tree far away from them. The last thing they heard after Satori's scream was an enormous explosion that rocked the entire area.
"Wow! That was loud!" Grace whispered as they slowly got out from cover. They peeked out to look at the damage to see weapons and other such objects scattered around an scorched crater on the ground. Sanji whistled at the damage before looking around the area for Luffy.
"Luffy! Where are you? Answer us!" Nojiko called with her hands cupping around her mouth.
"I'm right here." said Luffy as he appeared behind them with a smile.
"Luffy!" his friends cried in joy, glad to see he was okay.
"Hey, where's that Priest guy?" Usopp asked.
"Over there." said Luffy as he pointed to Satori's body, which was charred, scratched, bloody, and unconscious. "That was a really big bang! Can we do it again?"
"Let's not." Nojiko said as they all looked up at their ship. "We still have to rescue the others."
"She's right. The ladies on the ship are waiting for me to rescue them." Sanji said after lighting a cigarette.
"Their are other members besides women on the crew you know." Usopp said in a deadpan voice.
"Alright. Hang on!" Luffy said as his wrapped his right arm around them all in a big hug while his left arm shot up to a branch. Everyone began to panic before Luffy launched them around the branch and smacked right onto the ship.
"You...dumbshit!" Sanji groaned as he kicked Luffy's head.
-Going Merry-
Gin, Vivi, Chopper, Alvida, and Carue were having their hands full fighting against the man named Shura and his bird Fuza as they kept on attacking with Shura's Heat Lance and Fuza's Fire Breath.
"AHHH!" Chopper screamed as the rigging began to catch fire. "KNOCK IT OFF!"
"I got it!" Vivi yelled as she ran towards the rigging.
"A Logia-Type power, huh?" Shura said before Vivi snuffed the flames out by coating them with candy syrup.
"Shit! He'll burn the ship down if we fight here!" Gin snarled as he swung his tonfa in a circle.
"Of course," said Shura as he stood on the railing. "Your ship and lives are to be offered to God."
"LEAVE US ALONE!" Chopper yelled in a panic while Carue ran behind the mast. Shura only sighed as he rubbed his head like he had a headache.
"You don't want to die. You don't want to lose your ship. You want this, you want that. Greedy little bastards, aren't you all?" Shura said.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH NOT WANTING TO DIE?!" Chopper yelled.
"For one to live, one must die. That is the way of the world." Shura explained. He then went on to tell them that there were on the Sacrificial Altar, and that means they were to be sacrificed.
"That much we understand." Alvida said. "What are you getting at?"
"Simple. I and the other three Priests each guard a section of Upper Yard with an Ordeal. When a criminal enters one part, the other Priests are forbidden to interfere. The Sacrificial Altar however, is a free zone."
"So you decided to take time off your busy schedule and take our lives?" Gin summed up.
"Precisely, though normally we leave those on the altar alone unless certain situations come about." Shura explained before pointing to the vines in the tree branch above them. "Like when six individuals leave the altar by swinging away on a vine."
"Oh, that kind of situation..." said Chopper as he stared at the vine before his jaw dropped, his mind going to Zoro and the others that left.
"So, because our friends left to explore the island, you're here to punish us?" Alvida asked.
"Exactly. You four, your pet, and your ship will make up for the six individuals that left." Shura declared as he expertly spun his lance in his hand. "Now, offer your lives to God!"
"NO WAY!" Chopper yelled as he threw a punch, only for Shura to skewer his shoulder with his lance at the right time. 'How? Did he predict my moves?' Chopper thought as he grabbed his wounded shoulder.
"Chopper!" Vivi yelled in worry before glaring at Shura. "You'll pay for that!" She then formed her arms into hardened spikes before thrusting them at Shura, whose only reaction was to grin and swipe them away with his lance, melting them on contact. "What?!"
"He melted her candy arms?" Alvida said in surprise before Shura thrust at her. Her powers caused the lance to slip away, but she winced at the burning sensation it left on her arm. 'That thing's hot to the touch!' she thought as she swung her mace at him, only to miss as Shura dodged it with ease.
"Tch. I'm not sure how my lance slipped, but you should consider yourself luck you got off with only a burn." Shura scoffed as Alvida rubbed the burn while glaring up at him. "However," he said as he threw his lance up, blocking the strike from Gin's tonfa. "It won't matter after I've killed you all."
"I'd like to see you try!" Gin grunted as they pushed off each other, with Shura landing on Fuza and Gin on the railing of the ship. Shura prepared to strike again before turning to block a strike from another foe. One that Chopper was all too happy to see.
"KNIGHT OF THE SKY!" he cried out as Gan Fall and Shura glared at one another.
"My apologies for being so late!" Gan Fall shouted.
"So, you came to fight as well?!" Shura snarled as the two began to duke it out in the air with their lances and birds.
"Heh. Kind of glad you blew that whistle." Gin smirked as they all caught their breath while watching the two combatants fight. Shura seemed to be having trouble fighting Gan Fall, who had blasted him away somehow just by holding his hand up to him.
"How'd he do that?" Vivi asked as the two fighters began to fight in the sky, a blur of movements the only thing they could see.
"I can't see them." Alvida whispered as their eyes tried to catch up to their quick moves.
"Hey," Gin said as he looked at the others. "He lookes like he can handle himself, but get ready just in case he needs help." The others nodded before looking back to the fight, only to see a strange sight. Both Gan Fall and Pierre were in the air, but looked to be struggling in vain to move.
"What's going on?!" Chopper yelled in panic as the others watched Shura close in on his target.
"It's time to die, you relic!" Shura yelled with a grin before a massive wall of blue goop forced him to fly away. "Tch. Annoying pests!" he growled as Vivi reformed near Gan Fall and was now on Pierre's back with him.
"What happened?" she quickly asked as Gan Fall struggled.
"I don't know! I can't seem to be able to move!" Gan Fall said as he kept his eyes on Shura. Vivi looked up at Shura, who had turned and was now heading straight for them.
"You're wasting your time! All you've done is allow me to finish you both off at once!" Shura shouted as Fuza flew closer to them. Vivi glared at him before hugging Gan Fall and forming a sphere of candy syrup around them both. "Ha! You've seen that my lance can melt that-" He stopped when he picked up on her intent and his eyes widened. "FUZA! AWAY!" His command came too late as the sphere exploded, sending candy syrup everywhere. Fuza tried to get away, only for the candy syrup to catch his wings, causing him to fall towards the water and knock Shura off. 'Shit! I couldn't dodge that attack!'
"If your God wants a life offered to him," Gin shouted as he ran across the Boom towards Shura and jumped towards him, spinning his tonfa at full speed. Shura's eyes widened when he saw he had no way to dodge the attack that was aimed for his head. "THEN YOU CAN GIVE HIM YOURS!" Gin finished as he smashed his tonfa down on Shura's head. Blood spilled from Shura's mouth as his eyes rolled back before he and Fuza fell into the water, which was soon covered by a group of skysharks. Gan Fall and Pierre were soon freed from their invisible restraints before they dived for Gin, catching him just before he fell into the water.
-Hidden Guerilla Village-
A little girl was spying on the top fighters of the Shandians, who were talking about Gan Fall entering Upper Yard, before she gasped and collapsed forward, sending her sprawling in the middle of them all. She glanced up to see the great warrior Wiper glaring down at her before she shrieked and hid behind a female warrior, Laki.
"Something wrong, Aisa?" asked the woman warrior as they all looked at the little girl named Aisa.
"Two voices...have vanished." she quietly said.
"Hmm? Your Mantra?" Wiper asked.
"Yes." Aisa said as she kept her gaze at the ground.
"And? Who were they?" asked a fat fighter named Genbo.
"They were...two Priests of Enel's." Aisa said.
"Are you serious?!" another fighter named Braham asked in shock.
"Yes." Aisa answered.
"It seems that our prayers have been answered." Wiper said as he stood and gave them all an order. "Tell the others to get ready! With only two Priests in our way now, we have a good chance to defeat Enel! Prepare to attack!" The others all nodded and moved to prepare for battle.
"All this time and you're still afraid of Wiper." Laki said to Aisa before pulling her away from her leg to join her comrades.
"Wait!" Aisa cried out, which Laki turned to listen. "The ones who defeated them wasn't only Gan Fall, but others as well!"
"Others? You mean those Blue Sea Dwellers?" Laki asked.
"Yes. And they're all really strong." Aisa said before staring down. "And..."
"And?" Laki asked.
"And...one of them...their voice...I don't know what to make of it."
"One of the voices?"
"Yes. This is...is strong. Crazy strong. But also kind." Aisa said in a quiet voice.
"Strong and kind...I see." Laki said before asking for Aisa's bag, whispering that she'd get her more 'treasure' before speeding away with everyone to fight.
"Everyone! Our goal is God's Shrine! Today, WE LIGHT THE FIRE OF SHANDORA!"
"AYE!"
-Nami's group-
Nami and the others wondering about Upper Yard were walking towards the shore after Nami stated that she had seen something strange. Robin was also curious, as she felt that a reason for her to live was on this island.
"What did you see? Was it God?" Zoro asked for the umpteenth time before hearing explosions in the distance.
"What was that?" Johnny asked.
"First that big explosion earlier, now smaller ones." Yosaku said.
"Sounds like the others might be having fun." Valerie laughed as Nami continued on, leaving the others to chat about Luffy and Chopper's groups before they saw Nami near something in the distance.
"Hey Nami, what'd you-" Zoro said before stopping, his and everyone else's eyes wide at what they were seeing. Before them, at the very edge of the land, was half of a two story building. The half that was missing from Cricket's house on Jaya below.
"There's no mistaking it." Nami said as they stared at the house. "They match...This island...used to be a part of Jaya."
"But...but how is it up here?" Johnny asked in disbelief, his and Yosaku's jaw wide open.
"I thought that Cricket's ancestor Noland said that it sunk in the sea!" Yosaku said.
"It must've come up the same way we did." Nami surmised, thinking of the Knock-Up Stream from this morning.
"No way. I knew that current was powerful, but..." Valerie whispered.
"What other proof do you need?" Nami asked as she looked back at the house. "This island, the other half of Jaya, has been floating up here in...in the sky."
A/N: Just some things I need to say. One: I really hope you all enjoyed the way the fights played out. Two: I believe the Boom is that long piece of horizontal wood stuck under the Crow's nest on the main mast of the ship. That's all. Hope you enjoyed it. And a review would be a nice birthday gift.
