Inside the Snakes Belly
Everyone and everything had been tossed around, since the snake had been in battle for a while the occupants who were trapped inside felt like they had gone through a washing machine with old buildings. After a while everything began to float as the snake started to fall.
"What's going on?" Luffy yelled.
"I don't know but everything is in the air," Gan Fall said.
"This is our chance…Luffy grab onto the waver," Nami said.
"Okay," Luffy said.
He stretched out his arms and pulled both Aisa and Connor towards him.
"Hang on real tight okay," Luffy said.
Asia and Connor grabbed hold of Luffy and he grabbed onto the back of the Waver. Gan Fall was on Pierre and was already flying towards the Exit.
"Okay Nami ready," Luffy said.
"Uhh Luffy you holding the…" Connor started.
He didn't get to finish because Nami hit the gas and the Waver took off. Unfortunately because Luffy, Connor and Aisa were holding the engine they got a face filled with air and were blown back in the opposite direction.
Gan Falls eyes almost jumped out of his head when he saw this.
"Pierre stop we must go back for them," Gan Fall said.
Pierre ever loyal did as he was told and stopped mid-flight, unfortunately the sudden stop threw Gan Fall off the birds back and he was sent free flying forward. Pierre went back for Luffy and the two children without noticing he had thrown his rider off.
Thankfully Nami passed Gan Fall and the knight was able to grab on to the waver and the two shot out of the snakes mouth. Once they were out they both noticed a problem.
There was no ground beneath them.
"WHERE IN FREE FALL!" Nami screamed.
"What's that…down below?" Gan Fall asked, seeing the lost city of Shandora becoming very close.
Lost city of Shandora
Robin looked up in shock as Enel had used his power to bring the upper layer of ruins down to them. Upon seeing them fall Robin had instantly turned and run as fast as she could to avoid the falling debris. She hid in one of the buildings away from the danger zone.
Enel glanced at here and thanks to his mantra he knew she was just trying to avoid being crushed so he didn't try and stop her, he also could tell where everything was going to land. The ruins and debris crashed into the ground creating quite a large mess and a huge dust cloud.
Once the dust cleared Robin came out of hiding and back to the where the derbies fell, she was looking for and sign that her crew mates had survived. She spotted Nami and Gan Fall who was not that badly hurt from the fall and came over to them.
"Nami…are you alright?" Robin asked.
Nami looked up at her.
"Hey Robin, I'm alright…but I won't be doing that again," Nami said.
Robin smiled.
Just then then one of the larger debris shot up and Zoro emerged holding Chopper.
"Damn buildings," Zoro cursed.
Not far away Wiper also emerged, he also seemed okay. The survivors attention was drown by a loud roar and they looked to see the giant python had also survived the fall. However instead of continuing it's rampage the python looked around and seemed to be in a state of both shock and happiness.
Wiper was also having a smiler reaction as he looked around.
"W…Where are we?" He asked.
"This is the lost City of Shandora," Robin answered as she approached.
Zoro and Wiper looked at her in surprise.
"What?" Wiper gasped.
"So this is the city of gold Noland found?" Zoro asked as he looked around.
Wiper starred at the swords man.
"They know Noland?" Wiper gasped.
"Yes but the gold is long gone," Robin said.
"So we're still broke then," Zoro said.
"Unfortunately," Robin said.
"Oh well, not much we can do about it," Zoro sighed.
"Hey Blue Sea Dwellers," Wiper said as he came over.
Zoro and Robin looked at him in confusion.
"You said Noland…did you mean Montblanc Noland?" Wiper asked.
"Yes…you have herd of him?" Robin responded. She was quite surprised that Noland's story would be known up in the sky.
"He was my ancestor's best friend," Wiper claimed.
"Ancestor?" Zoro asked.
"Yes there is a story in my tribe about a great warrior named Calgara and his best Friend Montblac Noland who came from across the Blue sea… Calgara was my ancestor,"
"Oh I get it," Robin said.
"I don't," Zoro said.
"We found evidence that the city of gold was inhabited; remember all the gold ingots and bird statues on Jaya. They had to have been made by someone when the top part of Jaya was shot up into the sky the inhabitants went with it. The Shandoras living in the sky must be decedents from the Shandoras that came up here with the Island,"
"Since it after Noland had discovered the city and before his death then it is highly likely that his visit must have been passed down as a legend or a folk tale for the last four hundred years," Robin finished.
"Wait…death? Noland died?" Wiper asked.
"Yeah not long after he got back from meeting your tribe, he was executed for lying about this place," Zoro said.
"What?" Wiper gasped.
As a child and descendent of Clagaler himself, he had always loved the story of his ancestor and Noland although no one ever knew what happened to Noland after he left. Wiper had always believed he had done something heroic or died in battle like a true warrior. After all Wiper knew Noland was dead, no man could survive living for four hundred years.
However these blue sea dwellers were telling him the opposite, after meeting his ancestor he was killed because no one believed him…that wasn't heroic at all.
"So…if Noland died…how do you know him?" Wiper asked.
"We met his descendant, Montblanc Cricket," Robin claimed "He helped us come here,"
"Noland's decadent…is still alive?" Wiper asked.
"Yes and he's spent his life looking for this lost city," Robin claimed.
Wiper started at them in amazement, he could not believe that these people knew his ancestors best friends descendant.
'Strangers from a distant land across the sea, a proud tribe of warriors and a battle seemingly impossible to win. It's' like the old story is repeating itself,' Wiper thought 'with a few minor differences,'
Wiper and the others were brought out of their conversation as the snake started to roar and cry in pure happiness. Enel looked over wondering what the snake was so happy about.
"Stupid beast, stop making such a racket," Enel commanded.
The Python however ignored him and continued to cry.
"Very well I shall end it for you," Enel said.
Enel raised his hand to the sky and summoned a three huge bolts of lighting, they struck the snake all at once. One second the snake was alive and healthy the nest it was frozen in place charred black and smoking but above all it was not moving.
"NO!" Zoro and Wiper yelled.
"AISA WAS IN THERE" wiper cried.
"Kid…Nami…" Zoro said in shock as the charred grilled remains of the snake fell to the ground.
Nami walked over to Zoro.
"Zoro there you…oh my gosh what happened to Chopper?!" Nami asked when she noticed the injured doctor.
Zoro stared at her in surprise.
"Y…You're alive?" Zoro asked.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Nami asked.
"I saw you got eaten by the snake," Zoro said.
"We got out when it was free falling," Gan fall said as he approached.
"Then…Is the kid with you?" Zoro asked.
"No, he Aisa and Luffy got left behind," Nami said sadly.
"Luffy…Luffy's here too? Where is he?" Zoro asked.
"He was in there," Nami said and pointed to the snake.
"Damn…I guess that means he's been taken out too," Zoro hissed.
He then looked at Nami.
"Oi this basted hasn't noticed you yet, take Chopper and hide," Zoro said handing Chopper over to Nami.
Nami didn't need to be told twice, she grabbed Chopper and ran behind one of the broken buildings, she hid just in time as Enel turned to face them.
"Now then…time is almost up," Enel said as he looked over the four people in front of him.
"Enel, where are my soldiers!?" Gan Fall demanded viciously.
"Ah, you are concerned for the safety of your old guard," Enel replied in a condescending tone. "it was a host of 650 soldiers was it not?"
"I don't care for the statistics Enel! Tell me where they are!" Gan Fall was not so easily wound up by Enel's approach.
"Well…there dead obviously, I killed them this morning," Enel started casually "They finished the task I set them so I had no need of them anymore,"
"WHAT? THEY HAD FAMILYS! WIVES CHILDERN…HOW COULD YOU JUST KILL THEM!" Gan Fall yelled in rage.
"You see, ever since I arrived here I have been cultivating the means for my departure. This island in the sky… it's an unnatural occurrence, it shouldn't exist, " Enel explained "My intention is to leave this place behind, and when this island is reduced to nothing, I will do so."
"You plan to destroy Skypiea entirely?!" Gan Fall roared.
"Yes! I will depart this land leaving behind only a storm as I journey to Fairy Verth!" Enel declared.
"Fairy Vearth?" Robin asked.
"A place befitting only me, a place that makes this tiny island look like a speck of dust…Fairy Verth is a place where I will rule for eternity," Enel claimed "I wish to take five companions with me,"
"You will be spared from sharing the same fate as this island. However given that there are six of you left standing, someone will have to die first I will let you decide amongst yourselves if you wish,"
There was a brief, horrible moment of silence where everyone conscious contemplated the offer. However they only needed a spit second to decide as Gan Fall raised his lance at Enel, Zoro tightened his bandana and put his sword in his mouth, Wiper aimed his bazooka and Robin got into a fighting stance.
Then in one unanimous voice they delivered there answer
"We're not killing anyone but you!" the four fighters declared together.
Enel barely reacted to this revelation; he just looked at them with a bored expression.
Enel barely seemed to register Gan Fall's rage, knowing that even when angry, the sky knight was no threat to him.
The Former and current god both seemed to move in slow motion, as Enel casually sidestepped a quick thrust from the Sky knight, while putting his hands out in front of him, one downturned and above the other, both index fingers extended towards each other, nearly meeting.
A small orb of blue light about the size of a coin appeared at the midpoint between Enel's fingers, the orb grew and dense webs of static electricity started to leap from it as Enel moved his fingers further away from each other.
Once he had enough power a mad grin appeared on Enel's face. He and Gan Fall locked eyes for just a moment…
"30 MILLION VOLT!" Enel thrust both hands forward, aiming at the Sky Knight, who was still off balance from his lunge. The impact, Gan Fall's scream of pain, the sound of his armoured body hitting ground hard, all were compressed into a mere second; and just like that they were down to five.
"Gan Fall!" cam the collative cries form the others, while Enel merely laughed off his violent actions.
Enel seemed rather amused at the exchange.
"Now, we have all that is needed, you five are free to travel with me to the expanses of Fairy Vearth," Enel announced "Come, we set out immediately,"
"We're not going anywhere with you," Zoro declared.
"Neither is he and he won't destroy Skypiea just yet," Robin claimed.
Enel looked at her with curiosity.
"You're going to look for the Grand Belfry first aren't you, you won't destroy this island before you find it," Robin stated.
Enel simply smirked.
"You thought you could use that against me? That I would give you more time? I told you I already have an idea where the bell is just encase you were hoping to use it against me?" Enel asked, he raised his hand, electricity pooling at the tip of his extended fingertip.
A flash of blue light which was becoming all too familiar, a scream of agony, and Robin fell…and five suddenly became four.
"I hate cold and manipulative woman," Enel stated.
Zoro caught Robin before she hit the ground and gently lay her down. He then charged at Enel indicting to slice him in half and he did, however Enel merged back together and Zoro realised too late his mistake.
'Crap…he's a Logia type…' Zoro instantly realised.
Enel grabbed a sword in each hand and quickly turned the swordsman's own attacks against him, using the pirate's steel as a method to deliver an intolerable barrage of electricity into his Zoro's body. Zoro fell to the ground and four had become three.
Enel turned in time to see Wiper throw away his weapon and launch himself into he air, Enel smirked as his mantra told him what wiper was planning. He knew that the warrior would just pass harmlessly though his body as the other physical attacks had done so.
Enel's smile faded when Wiper landed on him and the moment his dial skats touched Enel the god felt very weak and was unable to maintain this element form leaving him vulnerable.
"What….Why…can't I move…why do I fell weak?" Enel asked.
"Have you ever heard of Kairouseki?" Wiper asked.
"Kairouseki?" Enel asked.
"Yeah the base of my skates are made from it," Wiper said "I've known for a long time that you got your powers form a cursed fruit,"
"How…." Enel asked.
"How do I know? A ship I attacked many years ago was carrying some along with a book about mystic fruits that give people powers. One of the men offered to teach me about it in exchange for his life…I accepted," Wiper explained "once he was finished I took the book and the Kairouseki for myself so I could one day kill you,"
Enel's eyes widened, he could not believe that there was a mineral out there that could make him so weak and helpless.
"As long as it's touching you…you can't use your powers and are vulnerable," Wiper declared.
"Kairouseki…the solid form of the sea…He has sea stone?" Nami gasped peeking out from her hiding point.
"Wiper stop….I know you have a Reject Diel if you use it you'll die too," Enel tried.
"I don't care," Wiper said and he activated the diel.
A Large compressed explosion was unleashed on Enel's chest, wiper was caught in it to and forced to release Enel. The self-proclaimed God hit the ground hard and he didn't move; Wiper stood above him barley alive looking down on his fallen adversary.
Nami came out of hiding and stared at the fallen god in amazement.
"I…I…Is he dead?" she asked.
Wiper looked over to her and then back at Enel without answering. Taking this a s conformation Nami knelt down beside Robin, checking her vitals, however the victory was short lived as Enel's body started to twitch and flash with electricity.
Nami's eyes widened as she realised what the god was doing…Enel, using his own lightning as a defibrillator, began to restart his own heart.
After a few tries Enel slowly got back up, with a smile on his face. He stood up and walked over to wiper stopping directly in front of the Shandorin warrior.
"Not a bad effort Warrior of Shandora," Enel praised.
"H…H…How?" Wiper asked.
"Your reject Deil should have killed me…in fact it nearly did, however you let go. Had your Kairouseki skates remained on me I would certainly not have been able to come back," Enel claimed.
Wiper stared at Enel in fear and fell to his knees form the injuries he had sustained.
"However I won't give you another chance to do that again," Enel said.
Enel raised both hands in front of him, his fingers spread.
"30 million Volt Hino!" with these words Enel's hands began to glow once again, before a great shimmering mass of sparking light. This time in the shape of a hawk, it flew towards Wiper hitting the injured warrior full-on before he could even raise a finger to defend himself.
With another fighter down three became tow and Enel turned to the last remaining survivor of his game…Nami.
The navigator looked at all the fighters Enel had wiped out, they were all strong and incredibly hard to defeat yet Enel had taken them all down without much effort. The only one who had come close to beating him was Wiper and he was taken out too.
'If they couldn't do it….what chance do I have?' Nami asked herself.
Nami stared at Enel in complete shock and horror as he slowly approached her, Nami wanted to run or move away but she was to frighted and before she realised it Enel was standing above her looking down with a murders gaze.
"I…I…" Nami started "I've always wanted to go to Fairy Verth….can I come?"
