After witnessing Nami and Aisa being eaten, Wyper and Zoro decided to focus their attention on the large snake that's been causing them trouble in the Upper Ruins. The snake groaned from the pain inside its stomach, with tears in his eyes.
"What's the matter, got a belly ache?" Wyper taunted. "Well serve you right."
"I guess even a large snake can't withstand Nami's rotten attitude," Zoro mocked with a slight chuckle.
The snake roared at their taunts and lunged towards the two of them. Wyper and Zoro jump out of the way in separate directions from each other.
"Hold on Aisa!" Wyper called out as he jumped above the snake's head. Once he was over it, he aimed his bazooka, charging to fire. "Open up, serpent~!"
At the same time, Zoro placed two of his swords in a circle motion. "Two Sword Style: Seven-two Caliber Phoenix~!"
Both of the men's attacks connect to the beasts. Wyper's Burn Bazooka beam slammed hard on the top of the snake's head while Zoro's flying blade attack blasted it's side like an invisible cannon.
Annoyed by the attacks, the snake pulled its upper body up and hissed at the two of them. Wyper landed onto one of the stone buildings and fired another blue beam from his bazooka. The snake turned its head to avoid the beam hitting its head, but it nook the fork of its tongue.
"Damn I barely made a dent on it," Zoro grumbled, noticing the snake focusing on Wyper. "What is that snake made of?"
Chapter 52: Fairy Tail Wizards.
The scarlet knight winced after getting hit by another invisible force from the bald Priest. Ohms has been proven to be a strong opponent for her. Not only due to his weapon and mantra, but she still hasn't recovered from her fight with Aoi.
The second she avoided the whirling Iron whip, Erza crossed her swords in front of her. Sparks suddenly appeared as the invisible force collided with her sword, skidding her back.
'Just as I thought. His sword is laced with illusion magic,' Erza theorized. 'The second he unleashes his technique, it replicates into two. While one acts like a decoy, while the invisible one does the actual damage.'
"...You're much smarter than I anticipated," This caught Ohm's attention while his sword shrank back to normal. "Those who found out are killed before they could put the pieces together…!" He realized it with his mantra. "So that's how you were able to expose my illusion, your right eye."
It took all her willpower not to react from the Priest's words. But couldn't stop herself from thinking about it. 'Damn it, he found out about my artificial eye!' She tightened her sword, briefly and then made a running start while summoning her second blade.
"Einsin Whip~!" Just like before, Ohm swung his sword unleashing a long wavy, yet destructive blade towards Erza.
She side steps to the left dodging phony waves and then to the right when the invisible wave flies past her head, destroying the wall beside her. Once she avoided the second attack, she sped toward the Priest, with her body glowing. "Requip~!"
"Einsin Back Wall~!" Once his sword returns to normal, Ohm lash it out again, forming a large square white wall in front of him.
Erza changed into her Flame Empress Armor with her Flame Empress sword burst into red hot flames. "Soaring Fire Blade~!" She thrust her sword colliding with the Iron Wall, but barely made a scratch, or burn marks on it, which caused her eyes to widen. "What?"
"My sword is capable of offense and defense. You didn't think that cloud had one one form did you?" Ohms mocked while his sword wall changed again into a wide fan shape, causing her to jump back in a safe distance. "Ensin Fan~!"
Erza brought her sword up, which clashed with the fan. But just as she parried it, the woman hunched over feeling an invisible fan slammed stomach. "Guah~!"
"You may know my trick, but I never said that the fake was an illusion too," Ohm claimed to his injured opponent. His sword returns back, he moves his hilt upward and sheaths his attack again, causing his word to hurl into an arc. "Einsin Forks~!"
Still winded from the strike, Erza quickly lash her sword, parrying both the fake and the invisible fork strikes with one swing. Ohm's sword shrunk back briefly before lashing it straight forward. "Einsin Rapier!"
Unlike the first two, the sword flew straight out, forcing Erza to shift her body to the left making it fly past her. The sword pierce the wall behind her, leaving a perfect large hole. With one step, Erza rushed towards Ohm again, but Ohm was too quick and blocked her Empress sword with his Iron sword forcing her back.
KLANG! KLANG~!
The sound of their swords clashing became fierce and blinding. Ohms was pushing Erza back each time her sword collided with his sword. Gritting her teeth, Erza found herself either dodging or blocking both his invisible and fake sword lashes, widening the distance between them.
"What's the matter?" Ohm taunted as his sword shrunk back down. "Keeping your distance isn't going to do you any good when you depend on your sword."
"You're right…In that case!" Without warning, Erza swung her Flame Empress Sword, like a lance and erupt into flames.
"...! Einsin Wall~!" Ohms formed his sword into an Iron Wall. The sword collided with the wall again as it intensified, but it wasn't enough to push the Priest back as the fire dimmed down and the sword vanished with sparkle.
'She's right behind me, preparing to punch me from behind,' Ohm quietly sensed.
Just like his mantra predicted, Erza flew from the smoke right behind the Priest with her fist pulled back. Just when she brought her fist down to Ohm's bald head, it connected into an invisible version of Einsin Wall.
'Damn it, he's predicting every movement I make,' She ignored the pain of her fist bewildered that her plan didn't work. 'And it's not an illusion, he replicates his sword technique.'
"You're a skillful woman I admit. You almost caught me off guard with that strategy," Ohm declared, not moving from his spot. "Being humiliated by those rebels, the witch and her pet, forced myself to use this witchcraft. Now, I'll be able to give Simon a proper death."
"Just because you learn magic doesn't make you invincible!" Erza argued and kept punching the transparent wall.
"You're right, it's how you use it," Ohm turned and lashed his real sword. "Einsin Whip!"
"AH~!" Erza seethed in pain from her knuckles getting cut by his iron cloud sword technique. She wasn't expecting the attack while she was trying to punch through his invisible wall and instead struck the wavy sword.
While Erza tumbled across the ground, Ohm prepared himself for his finishing technique. "I'll make your salvation swift Scarlet knight." He shot his sword forward causing the white iron cloud to swirl within the transparent one and morphed into a large crab claw. "Einsin Trim~!"
"GAH~!" It was traveling so fast that Erza had no time to react before it was too late. She found herself hurling into the air, with two large cuts across her stomach. Her eyes went wide in agony coughing up some blood.
Same Time as Erza vs Ohms.
Natsu Dragneel cried out in pain after getting hit by Mose's black lighting. He tumbled across the stone ground a bit, before but caught himself and leapt out of the way from another large black lighting strike.
Right when he landed, Moses already had his right arm aimed at the dragon slayer. Black electricity danced around his palm. "Lightning God: Spear!" He yelled before firing a fast stream of lightning forming into a tip of a spear.
With his feet erupting into flames, Natsu launched himself into the air, letting the spear fly over him. While in midair, he twisted his body to deliver a kick with his flamed coated feet. "Fire Dragon Claw!"
Moses raised his left forearm up, blocking Natsu's foot from aiming at his head. Ignoring the burning sensation, Moses thrust his free arm forward with his palm coated with black lighting into Natsu's stomach. The boy grunted a bit while being launched back, but flipped onto his feet, looking a bit winded.
"You are starting to annoy me, Dragon Slayer," Moses clicked his teeth.
"Good!" Natsu smirked before making a mad dash with his signature flames wrap around his fists. "Because I'll keep annoying you till you're down!"
"...A feint punch and follow with a kick," The God Slayer sensed with his mantra. Just like he predicted, Natsu pretended to swung fist at him but actually he swung his right leg out at his stomach. Moses used his left arm to block his foot before it could connect. "Then a punch aimed at my face." Natsu aimed his fist towards his head only for Moses to lean his upper body to the left. Moses then grabbed his wrist, and discharged black volt of electricity into the boy's body.
"GGAHH~!" Natsu's scream echoed among the Upper Ruins till it died down. Feeling satisfied, Moses stops his attack watching the boy's smoking body dangling motionless.
"Like I said, you're just an annoying parasite," Moses emphasized bluntly. The second Moses let go of his wrist, Natsu sprung to life and punched him in the gut. "GUAH~!" He gaped in shock, as he hunch over gasping for air.
"RAAAH~!" Natsu roared out before slamming his head into Moses who stumbled back. Natsu didn't let him get a chance to retaliate and unleashed a burst of flames that launched the man across the ruins.
'Damn it!' Moses managed to land on his feet, with his body covered in scorch marks. 'He must've known about my mantra, and now he's becoming aggressive like a feral animal!'
Natsu appeared right in front of him and struck his fist into his temple. Moses endured the pain and retaliated by slamming his fist into Natsu's cheeks. He brushed it off and kicked Moses in the stomach.
Looking really annoyed, the God Slayer's eyes went crimson red, and caught Natsu's fist. "You're getting on my last nerve Dragneel!" He slammed his own fire coated fist into the boy's face, sending him tumbling across the ground.
After he backflips right side up onto his feet, Natsu glared at him upon noticing his body. "Crap, not those stupid flames again."
"Flame God: Bomb!" Moses released a large orb of black fire, towards Natsu who quickly jumped to the side. Letting the destructive fire orb hit the ground scattering flames and destroying many stone ruins in its path.
After Natsu landed on the side of the stone wall, his body erupted with flames and lightning going into his dual mode. He then dived towards Moses. His hand is lit with red flames. "Lighting Fire Dragon: Crushing Fang."
With his arms bursting with his God Flames, Moses brought one of them forward to soften the blow of the claw strike, but felt the lighting numb his arm a bit. "Fire God: Impact!" He then palm striked Natsu in the stomach, causing a burst of black flames to launch him back.
Natsu skidded back a bit and puffed his cheek. "Lighting Fire Dragon: Roar!"
"Lighting/Fire: Unified!" Moses announced before being consumed by the Dragon Slayer's dual element roar.
"Got him!" Natsu declared, after his attack died down. He waited for the dust to clear up, but froze when he heard a familiar slurping sound. "W-What?!"
Upon the dust clearing up, Moses is seen inhaling both the flames and the electricity into his mouth, until it vanishes. He looked unharmed. "That was a refreshing meal."
"HEY THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Natsu yelled out in comical rage. He didn't expect Moses to consume the lighting as well.
"A neanderthal like you should be the last to lecture me of being unfair," Moses scoffed. Black static danced around his right fist while black flames burst from his left. "My God fire acts like a toxin to Phoenix flames, and I concluded that it would do the same to dragons as well."
"I'm getting sick and tired of hearing your annoying voice!" The pink hair mage dashed towards Moses with his left hand generating lighting while his right hand erupted with his dragon flames. "Lighting Fire Dragon Brilliant Flames!"
"The feelings are mutual," Moses said. He inhaled and unleashed a massive and destructive blast of black fire and electricity out of his mouth. "Flame Lighting God: Bellow!"
Two powerful combinations of flames and lighting collided, and were at a stalemate briefly. Until, the black elements began to devour Natsu's flames and magic. Natsu used all the magic he had on his last attack but it proved to be not enough as the God Bellow consumed his attack along with his body. "GAHHH~!"
Touma, Sinolia, and Dimanu, still carrying the unconscious Yuko, were still searching for any of their comrades while the Upper Ruins battles were still waging on. Touma suddenly flinched when he noticed a burst of black flames erupted in the distance.
"Sounds like someone managed to piss Moses off," Dimanu commented.
"That worries me a bit," Touma mumbled.
Suddenly, a Shandian warrior crashes through the wall in front of them, instantly KO'd. His body flew past them before he crashed into another stone building. It was so fast that the three couldn't identify the person. "What was that?!" Touma asked.
RUFF~!
Holly landed right in front of the four from above and was about to swing downward towards Touma. Dimanu tossed Yuko onto Touma and pushed him out of the way, and took the paw punch, sending him crashing into the wall similar to the Shandian.
"DIMMY~!" Sinolia cried out in horror. Touma held Yuko as he sat up, also startled to witness his action.
The large dog was about to attack the boy and the limp girl, but was met when a fist slammed into left cheek by Dimanu. "Payback furball!"
"Whoa~!" With Yuko in his arms, Touma quickly rushed out of the way as the dog crashed onto the stone ruin. He quickly reunited with Sinolia who was relieved.
"I still have a score to settle with you. So I don't need any help!" Dimanu declared while smirking at the dog who stood up. "You were the one who took down my precious fire breathing bird!"
"Is he seriously picking a fight with that thing alone?" Touma wondered, bewildered that he was still able to fight after Honey beat him.
"He's hard headed," Sinolia briefly complied.
The boy and the dog rushed at each other, and began throwing punches at each other. Dimanu landed a punch into Holly's stomach, sending him sliding back. The dog then counters it with a paw strike to his head. Dimanu grunted as he tumbled backward a bit before jumping back on his feet.
"Is that all you got?!" Dimanu challenged. "I don't need magic to kick your ass!"
GRRR! Holly growled acknowledging his taunt. The two rushed at each other again.
Erza was leaning back on a stone wall, breathing heavily from the slight cut wound on her stomach. After she got slashed by Ohms, Erza made a quick getaway behind the remaining stone ruins to catch her breath.
"That was…too close," Erza heaved while she sat up. She recalled when she barely managed to twist her body so the iron cloud swords only grazed her abdomen. "An inch closer and I would've been dead."
"Einsin Whip!"
Right when she heard him, Ohm's long sword burst through the wall she was leaning on. Luckily Erza avoided the attack and ran deeper through the ruins. 'He wasn't attacking randomly, he's pinpointing my location by using mantra. I need to end this quickly…I barely recovered from fighting Aoi…'
Erza continues running through the ruins until she stops right in front of a wide stone wall. While facing it, she changes from her Flame Empress Armor into her glowing, sparkling Morning Star Armor. She was wielding a pair of one-hand swords, while facing the wall.
"It seems as though two more warriors have fallen," Ohm declared, sensing Holly beating two of the remaining Shandorians. He was casually walking through the ruins with a sword over his shoulders. The Priest knew where Erza was located, ignoring the destruction coming from the snake. "And in a few minutes, two more will fall."
Erza and Ohms were both facing each with a wide stone wall between them. The two ignored the body of the snake plowing through the ruins behind them.
"Not bad for a Blue Sea Dweller, you put up a good fight," Ohms slightly praised, while aiming his sword forward. "But now, I'm aiming my sword directly at your heart…Now say your prayers, swordswoman."
"I will never pray for someone who harms my comrade," Erza replied sternly.
"That's too bad," Ohm said, while preparing his sword. "What sets us apart is the ability to survive."
"I can't afford to die in this world," Erza announced. With both her small swords extended forward, they began to charge up a light yellow energy. "You will fall to my blades, here and now!"
"We'll see about that," With one mighty swing, Ohms lashed his blade towards the wall. "Einsin Whip~!"
"Photon Slicer!" Just when his iron cloud sword broke through the wall, Erza brought her two blades together, releasing a blast of yellow energy. Just when the yellow energy collided with the wavy iron cloud, it obliterated both the decoy and the real iron cloud sword.
'S-She broke through my Iron Cloud?!' The Priest asked in shock, before getting hit by the beam, engulfing him in a massive blast. The explosion launched him into the air, injuring him severely but was still barely conscious. He noticed Erza rushing towards him for the final strike, and gripped his sword tightly to lash it out. 'No, I won't lose again!'
Not giving him a chance to retaliate, Erza finally was able to slash her blades at Ohms, leaving an X slash mark on his chest. The red-haired swordsman landed on her feet while the final Priest fell on his back behind her, KO'd with his sword landed beside his prone body.
Natsu is seen KO'd flat on his back, bruised and burnt up from Mose's attack. Moses walked over to him, his eyes returning to normal.
"I can't believe I wasted so much time on this brute," He muttered disgustingly. With a snap of his fingers, a massive pillar of black flames engulfed Natsu's body. Moses turned around and began walking away. "No matter, I still have time to hunt down Terra and kill her. If I find Simon, then I'll kill him as well since he's an accomplice."
SLURP~!
A familiar inhaling sound echoed into Moses's ears, making him stop. His eyes widened and quickly turned his head, witnessing something in utter disbelief. 'No…I don't believe this…It's IMPOSSIBLE~!'
Natsu was hunching over on his feet with his mouth open. He was inhaling his God flames surrounding him. After he finished eating, black flames erupted around his body, glaring at Moses.
"HOW ARE YOU EATING MY GOD FLAMES~!?" Moses screamed. He never saw any of his God Slayer magic get consumed.
"RAGGGHHHH~!" Moses cringed, hearing the loud voice of Natsu's vicious roar. In a brief second, Moses felt a tint of fear, feeling as if he's facing a dragon. Before he could even calm himself down, Natsu's black flaming fist connected into his face, launching Moses back and crashing onto the ground.
'Calm down,' Moses berated himself while quickly flipping onto his feet. 'I can't get distractive. He's on his last rope. I can still beat him.'
With his eyes turning cyan blue, black mist covered his body. He extended his arm out towards the charging boy. "Ice God: Sub Zero!"
In midair ready to attack, Natsu's body was frozen in a huge glacier of black ice. Moses smirked briefly until he witnessed black and red flames surrounding the ice. "W-What?!"
With a mighty roar, Natsu broke free from the black ice prison. He continued lunging towards the stunned Moses with both his dragon flames on his right and God Flames on his left.
"Lighting Sky: Unified!" Desperately, Moses quickly combined both Sky and Ice God Slayers. When Moses swung his Sky God fist towards Natsu, the boy ducked underneath it and elbow jab Moses in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. "GAH~!"
"This is for what you did to Tsubasa!" Natsu declared. He continued his assault by delivering a kick into his head. Moses grunted white trying to block, but was too slow, so he stumbled back. Not letting up, Natsu brought both his fists together cycling with red and black flames. "And this is for the albino bastard~!" He yelled out after smashing fists into the back of Moses's head.
"GUAH~!" Moses's eyes went white briefly, until he clenched his teeth. "ENOUGH~!" He roared and released a pillar of black lighting around his body, forcing Natsu back a bit. "YOU'VE GOTTEN ON MY LAST NERVES YOU BRUTE! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BEAT THE ULTIMATE GOD SLAYER! I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN~!"
"I don't give a damn if you're an Ultimate God Slayer or a God," Natsu proclaimed seriously with venom in his words. He showed his guild symbol towards him as black and red flames intensified around him. "You're still going down."
"We'll see about that!" A spiral of black wind and static surrounded his left hand. "LIGHTING SKY GOD: BOREAS~!" With the last bit of magic left, Moses hurled his arm forward and released a massive black whirlwind combined with lighting.
"This is for tearing two siblings apart!" Natsu rushed towards the black whirled with both flames surrounding his arms. He then generated a large torrent of his own flames along with the God flames he consumed. "Crimson Lotus: EXPLOSION FLAME BLADE!" The massive spiral of black and red flames shot towards the Lighting Sky God Boreas, easily overpowering the whirlwind that traveled through the ruins towards Moses.
'Dammit move!" Moses' fatigue from fighting Terra finally caught up with him. The deadly spiral of flames consumed the large God Slayer. His screams of agony drained from the flames and was hurled across the ruins crashing into multiple stone ruins until he hit the barbed iron cloud cage. Moses's entire clothes were burnt up and his eyes were pure white as he fell onto the ground face first, finally KO'd.
"I don't believe it," Simon's mantra had picked up two voices falling at the same time. While he knew Erza was able to take down Ohms, he was a bit surprised to sense Moses's voice gone. "He did it…Natsu just beat Moses…"
"He did?! That's awesome~!" Happy cheered a bit but glanced at him confused. "Wait, how do you know?"
"My Mantra," Moses answered him. "It's not as strong as the others, but I can sense the voices within the Upper Ruins. So far both Natsu and Erza have beaten their opponents, at the same time."
"Even in another world, no one can stand up to Fairy Tail Wizards!" Happy beamed making Simon laugh a bit.
On the outskirts of the Upper Ruins, Eguchi was seen breathing heavily. His fight with Kaito was proven to be much more troubling for the Phoenix Slayer. While he was able to land a few good hits on the Ultimate Elite, and injured him a bit, Kaito was still in a better condition than him.
"Damn, it's still not enough huh?" Eguchi cursed weary collapsing onto his butt. "I guess this is my loss."
"You don't want to keep fighting?" Kaito was a bit surprised by his action.
"Even if I beat you, I still have to deal with your two friends," Eguchi replied. "Plus I don't think that the others are…!"
Eguchi suddenly sat up and turned to the Upper Yard. He rarely uses it, but his mantra had just picked up a familiar voice vanishing. His lips twisted into a slight grin and chuckled.
"Uh, you okay man?" Kaito asked oddly.
"That son of a bitch," Eguchi whispered. He was more amused than angry. "He finally got his ass finally handed to him. Not bad, Dragon Slayer."
"AHHHHHH~!"
Things weren't looking good for the nine victims as they were falling deeper into the snake's stomach, along with some debris and gold. While mid falling, Wendy had Charla held onto her chest, and Cynthia holding onto her, trying to protect the two from some of the stones hitting her back.
While descending downward, Nami attempts to grab a piece of debris, only to realize that she clung onto a skeleton. "WAHHH~! EW~! GET IT AWAY~!" Nami wailed as she tried to push the skeleton away from her. Pierre fell beside her trapped in a barrel.
"WAHHH!" Aisa's scream quickly caught Gan Fall's attention. While falling, he launched himself over to the girl and caught her. The Sky Knight used himself as a shield to protect the girl from the fall rocks.
"AHHHH~!" Misaka screamed when she saw a pile of stone ruins at the dead end of the snake. "IT'S A DEAD END, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE~!"
"Gum Gum: Balloon~!" Being below everyone, Luffy sucked in some air and inflated his body up like a large round balloon up landing. Gan Fall, Misaka, Aisa, Nami, Wendy, Cynthia, Charla and the Waver bounced off of his belly and onto the ground safely.
Luffy deflated and brushed off some chunks of rock off of him. "This mystery cave is starting to get annoying."
"I already told you that we were eaten by the snake!" Nami corrected him.
"Where are you?" Luffy wondered. He spotted a certain skeleton wearing a yellow T-shirt. "WAHHH~! NAMI~!?" He rushed towards the body, shaking it. "NAMI~! NAMI! ARE YOU OK-."
BONK~!
Nami came up behind him, and hit her rubber captain on the head. "I'm right here you idiot,"
"Man, Nami has a really nasty temper," Misaka sighed while helping Cynthia and Wendy up from the ground.
"Yeah, remind me not to get her angry," Cynthia messaged the place where Nami delivered her punishment.
Aisa finally opened her eyes and found herself wrapped under the Gan Fall armor covered arms. "AHHH! LET GO! YOU'RE GOING YO SQUEEZE ME TO DEATH!"
Gan Fall loosened his grip and smiled at her. "I'm glad to see you're unharmed."
"I SAID LET GO!" Aisa yelled while getting off of him. She then picked up Gan Fall's spear and aimed it at his throat, startling everyone.
"Whoa, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Misaka exclaimed, alarmed by the girl's action.
"This man is our enemy," Aisa said angrily. "He's responsible for taking the Shandian's homeland. So I'm going to take his head."
"I don't get it. How is killing him going to fix anything?" Nami asked, trying to calm her down.
"He's not just a Knight, he was once the leader of the Skypians before Eneru showed up!" Aisa insisted. "The Skypieans were the ones who drove all of us out of our homes!"
"But he wouldn't have anything to do with it!" Wendy cried out, desperately not wanting to see bloodshed. "You were all forced out four hundred years ago!"
"Killing him won't bring back your home land!" Cynthia yelled, clenching her fists. She knew what Aisa was feeling all too well. She would've crushed Aiden's head with her foot if Wendy and the others didn't stop her.
"If taking my head would satisfy your people, then I'll gladly sacrifice it," Gan Fall's answer surprised everyone. "Unfortunately, just my head won't be enough. The level of hostility between the Skypieans and the Shandorians hasn't changed. And with good reason. Our ancestors stole your home away from you. What a horrifying thing to go through. I don't think I can find a way to apologize for that. Time alone won't heal my wounds. Therefore I regret my helplessness in this situation. If all that possible I would like to apologize for the Shandians who spent the last four hundred years fighting for their homes. I would like to apologize to them one by one."
Gan Fall then looked up at Aisa with sincerity. "I am truly sorry."
"...Sky Knight…" Cynthia whispered sadly.
"Listen to him," Nami urged. "He's been trying to make sure that everyone gets along. He wants citizens to live peacefully in the sky."
"We will never be able to get along peacefully!" Aisa argued. "Not with the bad guys!"
"That's just it," Nami tried to reason with her. "They're not bad. What's bad is that people can't coexist peacefully because they belong to different races…Right?" Misaka, Wendy, Charla and Cynthia were quiet, letting Nami's words sink in.
Gritting her teeth, Aisa stared at Gan Fall who sat defenseless. His own spear aimed at his neck. Aisa began to tremble with tears in her eyes and with a loud cry, she pulled back and thrust the spear forward.
"AISA!" Nami yelled out.
"NO!" Misaka, Cynthia and Charla cried out. Wendy closed her eyes not wanting to see it.
Before the spear could kill Gan Fall, someone grabbed the spear and it was instantly brought to a halt. Aisa struggled to move it, but it wouldn't budge an inch. She along with Cynthia, Wendy, Charla and Misaka stood there speechless to find Luffy in front of Aisa. His hand clutch firmly on the spear.
"Wait, how did he…?" Stunned, Misaka turned to where Luffy was before. She was so focused on the two that she paid no attention to him.
"WHY DID YOU STOP ME!?" Aisa's shock turns to anger instantly as she looks up at him.
The girls weren't able to see his expression since he was facing away from them. But the second he spoke, caused the four new members to stare in sudden shock.
"He was apologizing," Luffy answered without any sound of his goofy demeanor. "Probably not the best time to kill a man."
His words were enough to get Aisa to tear up. She drops the spear and collapses onto her knees, and cries with tears rolling down her cheeks. Nami went towards Aisa and comforted her.
"...What just happened?" Was all Misaka could say, still a bit stunned.
"...Is that the same goofball idiot?" Charla gaped awed.
"Thank goodness he stopped her," Wendy sighed. She was quite relieved that no blood was shed."
"I never seen Luffy act so serious," Cynthia said in awed. Ever since she and the others joined his crew, Cynthia's first impression on Luffy was a goofy, childish, and stupid man who looks unfit to be a captain. But after witnessing how he stopped a child from killing a man, the girl could see the reason why Luffy was the captain. "I wonder how strong he is?"
Down in Shandora, the City of Gold, Robin stood in the base of Giant Jack. Being the only one in her crew to make it this far.
"Shandora, the City of Gold," Robin stated out loud to herself. "If the golden bell said to be in the center of the city isn't here…then where is it? Their belfry is probably engraved with the Poneglyphs."
After observing the beanstalk, Robin began to walk through the city again for any clues she missed. "If that's the case, then the city probably fell to protect them. Even after all this time, the belfry and the Poneglyph should still be here. They're hidden somewhere…Hey, what's that?"
Robin went under an archway and spotted something unnatural; railroad tracks. "A rail used to run through the city…but this is new." One half of the railroad tracks was old and worn out like it's about to crumple from just one touch. The other half looked like it was in perfect condition. "Something must have been moved here. I wonder what it was."
"YAHAHAHA~!"
Robin looked over her shoulder from the sudden laugh and saw Eneru seated on a worn wall. He was causally tossing an apple in his hand. "Isn't it amazing? Even after being shot up into the sky, the city of Shandora still exists in this way. Yahahaha~! Even if it's the city that everyone knows about, how can it show off its lovely figure if it's covered by clouds. I'm the one who could see it. I discovered it. The former God never even noticed."
"And who are you?" Robin questioned.
"I am God," Eneru replied simply.
"..." Robin silently stared at Eneru who began munching on the apple.
"You're quite intelligent. One might guess that you're an archeologist from the Blue Sea World by how fast you found this city of ruins," Eneru remarked. "It took us several months to find the same thing. I suppose it is easier if you can read the letters on the ruins right?"
"How did you…?" Robin wondered.
"I'm God," Eneru reminded her. I didn't need to follow you. I know everything that happens to everyone on this island. The gold you and your crew looking for isn't here anymore? I'm afraid you're a few year too late for that."
"Gold? We'll you're right about that. I couldn't find any," Robin admits calmly. "You must have been the one who removed it."
"Gold is a wonderful thing to have," Eneru stated. He paused and took another bite of the apple. "And that glittery metal suits me well, don't you think?"
"Then you must've taken the gold bell that was here," Robin reasoned.
"A golden bell?" Eneru questioned.
'He doesn't know,' Robin realized.
After three quick bites, Eneru finished his apple only with the core, but he ate that as well. After he swallowed he spoke again. "I'm very intrigued. What did you learn by reading those letters on the bell?"
"Actually it's too bad, I never got to read them," Robin admits. "If you say it wasn't here when you arrived then it must not exist. I guess the huge golden bell and belfry that were the pride of Shandora were only a legend. It's a shame that I'll never be able to lay my eyes on them."
"No, wait," Eneru stops her. "It's actually right here, in the sky. When this island was blown into the sky four hundred years ago and the Upper Yard was born, or when God's land was born. It was said that the loud chiming of a bell could be heard ringing throughout the entire nation."
"The elder inhabitants of this land called it the island's singing voice," He continued. "But that wasn't it. It was a bell. A bell made of gold. Amazing!" He then smiled. "Soon the entire game will be over. Only eight minutes left. That's not long at all, in fact it gives me plenty of time to look for the golden bell. Yahahaha~!"
'So the golden bell is in the sky,' Robin thought. 'Which means the Poneglyphs are too…but where is it…!'
Eneru suddenly stopped laughing. He sensed an unexpected voice in the forest. "Interesting, it sounds like…there's a maggot on the island."
"Ah…"She gasped, wondering what he meant.
The Going Merry was still active with some of them treating the wounded. Conis rang out a new rag and placed it on top of Usopp's head. Lucy did the same for Sanji and Kuroko.
"Those three are still unconscious?" Pagaya questioned while walking in.
"They are," Conis nodded. "But they'll wake up soon. Their condition has been improving."
"Yes dear, I'm sure," Pagaya agreed while surveying the three. "You've taken such excellent care of them and good things happen to good people."
"If Kuroko was able to teleport them out then they'll be better in no time," Lucy nods with a confident smile.
"Lucy, if you don't mind," Pagaya said. "When the sky finally becomes peaceful I'd like to be able to show you all the hospitality you once knew to my heart's content, including my daughter."
"Oh, thank you," Lucy sheepishly beamed.
"Yes, thank you father," Conis replied.
Outside the deck, Accelerator, Tsuchimikado, Juvia, Gajeel, Tsubasa, Suu, Yozura and the woken Jayden were leisurely talking while keeping an eye on any intruders in the forest. Last Order, Gray and Lily went below deck to rest.
"Suu~! SUU~!" The white fox called out, getting the other's attention.
"Someone shut that furball up," Accelerator growled. He was resting on the deck with his arms behind his head.
"What's wrong Suu?" Tsubasa asked the fox.
"Did we forget to feed him or something?" Yozura wondered.
"What do sky foxes eat exactly?" Juvia wondered.
"SUU~! SUU~!" Suu points it head up, getting them to look up. Lucy, Conis, and Pagaya went out. They all then see a man in a white robe crawling out of the woods.
A moment later, Conis and Pagaya had left the ship to talk to the terrifying man. Pagaya knelt down by the man concerned for injuries. "Are you…"
"Yes, I was one of the men who worked under Gan Fall when he was god," The man answered.
Right above them, landing onto a branch was Gonta. He was looking around in concern for the prisoner who escaped. "It's Gonta's fault for not keeping an eye on her. I got to find Shizuka before she hurt someone."
"So you're one of the Divine Warriors," Pagaya realized. His voice caught Gonta's attention, when he noticed the three below him.
"We were in a closed out area…" The man groaned weakly. "And then…they…"
"What happened to you?" Pagaya asked and then turned to his daughter. "Conis he needs first aid right awa-."
"No wait!" The man interrupted. "My family on Angel Island…Please…help…"
"I will. I'll let them know," Pagaya insisted. "I know everyone's worried about you."
"Let everyone know…Eneru," The man said cryptically. "He's planning on returning everything…"
"What?" Pagaya asked.
"Skypiea will fall back to the Blue Sea World," He continued. "This place will no longer exist…"
"N-NO~!" Pagaya and Conis gasped in utter shock.
"There's no time to lose!" The man grabbed Pagaya by the collar desperately. "You must tell everyone right now! Our lives will soon be over. Eneru's planning to eliminate every single person from the sky!"
"Eliminate everyone from the sky? But why?" Pagaya was puzzled by Eneru's motive. "If he succeeded in that…then…He'd have no place to live. It doesn't make any sense. Why would he want to do something like th-"
"HE BUILT A SHIP!" The man shouted. "THE ARK MAXIM!"
"Ark…Maxim?" Pagaya restated.
Not too far from the three was Gonta, who overheard the man's warning and gasped in utter horror. "N-No…Skypiea will be destroyed?"
Eneru stood up and raised his arm up in the air. Then his entire body sparked with electricity.
"Hey!" Robin called out. "What are you…"
Conis, and everyone aboard the Going Merry, looked up and saw a terrifying bright light appearing in the sky overhead.
"W-What is that?" Juvia shuddered.
"E-Eneru…" Jayden muttered in fear, while gripping onto the rails. "GUYS MOVE NOW!"
"PAGAYA! CONIS! GET OUT OF THERE NOW~!" Yozura hollered out in a panic.
"WE WERE FORCED TO SPEND THE LAST SIX YEARS OF OUR LIVES BUILDING THAT SHIP!" The man yelled while he shook Pagaya a bit.
Without hesitation, Pagaya lashed his arm out, shoving Conis backwards.
"AHHH~!" Conis screamed as she fell off the land. Her eyes staring at her father, causing tears to stream out when the light got brighter.
"GONTA WON'T LET YOU HURT THEM!" The same time Pagaya shoved her daughter out of the way, Gonta dropped down between the two men and wrapped his arms around them, using his own body as a shield when the bright beam of light shot down out of the sky.
While falling onto the Going Merry, her father's words echoed in Conis's ears. Watching as the three men were engulfed by Eneru's judgment.
'When the sky finally becomes peaceful. I'd like to be able to show everyone the hospitality they once knew to my heart content, including you.'
"FAAAATHEEER!" Conis's voice drained
ZZZZZBOOOOOM~!
Freddy: You know what this world needs…?
Yang: You better not be saying world peace.
Sanya: That's something Peace would say.
Peace: [Pouting] Not all the time.
Freddy: [Clears his throat.] What this world needs are more animatronics! Earthland is filled with ancient magic and dragons, but not animatronic or robots?
Shiho: Actually they do. There's a race called Machias who are metal humanoids who can use magic. Unfortunately the only known kind, Wall Ehto was killed during the war by Laxus.
Sanya: Does that mean they're extinct?
Freddy: Not so. It's possible that they're other Machias across earthland. In fact, Miltia and Melina mention how I could be described as a Machias.
Gwen: Well, you do hide in unnatural places…
Raven: Let alone your jumpscare get more and more terrifying. I mean seriously how sharp teeth do you have in your nightmare mode?!
Freddy: Hmm…That's a good question. I'll have to count when I'm alone in the bathroom.
Varvula: Why do you have to do it in the bathroom? You can just count them here.
Freddy: Because it's em-bear-ising to do when you guys are watching.
Varvula:[groans]...I just rolled right into that one didn't I?
Freddy: Yes, Yes you did.
Yang: Next Chapter: Sixteen!
Sanya: I still think Funtime Freddy looks cute…
Shiho: S-Seriously!? That's the most disturbing one!
Freddy: I kind of agree with Shiho…the Bon Bon does creep me out.
