Quietly walking through a forest, Aizen flashed a confident smile. Smile that he kept, even when he saw a camp full of pirates, just in front of him. Waiting for him, the occupants of the camp were standing and assembled, with their weapons drawn. Ignoring most of them, Aizen just stared at the man in front of them.
"Shanks...it's been a long time."
"What do you want?" the pirate asked, his tone betraying his bitterness towards Aizen.
"My god, what hostility! Yet I came here with peaceful intentions! I even have a present."
Showing a bottle of sake, he threw it in Shanks' direction. Staring at the object, Shanks remained still. Yet, putting his hand on the hilt of his sword, he made a quick movement with his sword. Remaining stoic, Aizen saw his bottle being cut in half. The cut had been so sharp and so quick that the liquid remained in the two pieces of the bottle, until they fell to the ground. Thus, the blade of Shanks' saber remained surprisingly dry, not having received a drop of alcohol.
"I see you're still good with your sword."
"Aizen…I refuse to have any of the islands in my territory be defiled by a traitor like you! So, I advise you to quickly tell me what you want and then leave."
"Me, traitor? I remind you that we were not part of the same crew! I don't see how my past relations with Xerec concern you."
"A seaman who betrays his captain... I would never want one." Shanks affirmed. "When you join a crew, you agree to respect your captain! Traitors like you who don't hesitate to stab people in the back, are the ones I despise the most."
Just smiling, Aizen said.
"I understand your way of thinking! However, I want to point out that it was Xerec who invited me to join his crew, after I killed some of his men! Until proven otherwise, even in being on his boat, I had never formulated the fact of being part of his crew! So I hope you can understand the fact that teaming up with someone else, in order to kill him, was possible and not treated as treason."
Noticing that they were drifting away from the main topic, Shanks clicked his tongue. Immediately, Yassop aimed his gun at Aizen's face. Still smiling, Aizen said.
"If I came here, it is to propose an alliance to you."
"A alliance...with you?"
"Let's say it's not my idea! Whoever came up with this idea is... the person from Roger's crew, who betrayed him."
Immediately, Shanks' gaze hardened, as did Nana's. For his part, even though he had stopped smiling, Utsuro put on a perfectly calm face, just waiting for Aizen to continue talking.
"Hope you're kidding." Shanks said.
"My colleague told me that this approach would be useless and that you would refuse! That's why he sent me here, simply to tell you the reason for this alliance. "
Looking serious, Aizen affirmed.
"Widos has returned."
Immediately, Shanks' eyes widened.
"Our target is Upper Yard." Roared Wiper.
being floating on the white sea, using a snowboard, which was propelled by a dial, the man finally sees the territory of Enel. beside him, his companions readied their weapons, knowing full well that the god must already be aware of their presence.
"There will only be two outcomes in this fight." Wiper affirmed. "Our death or that of Enel."
Then, without any hesitation, he aimed his bazooka at the island, before firing a projectile.
"For Kalgara, our patron god, it is time for our people to reclaim what is theirs."
"AYE!" Shouted his companions, as Wiper's projectile slammed into the island, creating an explosion. "
Hearing the explosion, Johnny began to swallow his saliva.
" What's this ? "
"An attack?" Vivi wondered.
At that moment, thanks to his power, Bruno helped Nami and Robin to leave the tree where they were before affirming.
"Let's go back to the Merry! I think other problems are coming."
Looking around, Usopp ran from one side of the boat to the other, to look at the forest that covered the banks of the Milky Road. However, this annoyed Sanji.
"Can you stop fidgeting? You piss me off fidgeting like that."
"Hey, I'm protecting us." Usopp retorted, looking out into the forest through his glasses. "If we ever encounter any other pokemon or another priest, we'll probably get killed! We're all hurt and exhausted."
"And then?" asked Sanji. "I remind you that these guys seem to be able to read our minds! Even if we draw up I don't know how many plans to fool them, they will be able to outsmart them! So my advice is to calm down, sit down and try to get some rest, before our next fight."
Meanwhile, being at the back of the Crow, Raynare was watching the landscape behind the boat, while remaining silent. Finally, she heard.
"Raynare, did you think about what I told you?"
Not bothering to turn around, Raynare just let Luffy sit next to her. Then she declared.
"Luffy...whatever you say to me, I will continue to hate the color of my wings. And anyway, even when doing good around me, people will continue to hate me because of them."
"I don't see why." Luffy retorted.
"Idiot! People always push away what scares them! Take Chopper for example! He is incapable of doing anyone any harm and yet because of his appearance people treat him like a monster."
"These people are idiots." Luffy retorted. "They're calling Chopper a monster because they're not smart enough to try to figure out who he really is! Everyone who's ever talked to Chopper has figured out he's not a bloodthirsty creature! And that's the same thing for you! Even though you're a fallen angel, you're not a monster! You're..."
"Luffy...I massacred a village and killed many other people before I came to this world."
Saying nothing, Luffy just stared at the fallen angel, just like the rest of the people on the Crow. After their stop on Drum Island, Raynare had already told them that she had done horrible things in her old life, but she had never gone into the details. It was one of the few times she touched on memories of her life.
"The people of this village that I massacred...I knew them...and I liked them! At the time, I was a white-winged angel and...they all worshiped me! Since this village was mainly composed of people who believe in god, he had me insignia in this village and gave me the role of protecting it, in case of attack by demons! Nevertheless, I failed in my mission and instead of protect, it's me who... it's me who..."
"Why did you kill them?" Luffy asked.
Immediately, clenching her fists, Raynare roared.
"KESOKO! It's this guy who caused the massacre of this village! It's because of him that I became what I am and that..."
At this moment, a sound of flapping wings, reminiscent of the flight of a beetle, was heard.
"Huh?" Asked Usopp, who had stopped looking at the forest. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Screaming in fear, he saw a huge dark blue beetle flying towards them.
" HERACROSS ! "
"POKEMON!" Yelled Usopp and Yosaku.
Then, on the other side of the bank, an explosion was heard and three men resembling Native Americans also appeared, before pointing their weapons at the beetle.
"A pokemon! Destroy it!"
Seeing them heading towards them, Heracross' enormous horn turned white, as the pokemon flew towards them.
" Heracross use HORN ATTACK ! "
Seeing him attacking them, two Shandias used the dials at their feet to propel themselves out of his way. However, the last one didn't have time to imitate them and was hit by the pokemon, which ejected him forcefully against a tree. Losing consciousness, at the moment of the impact, the warrior then collapsed on the ground, Seeing this, his two companions pointed their weapons at the pokemon, before turning around him, to attack him.
" YOU IS DEAD. "
"What's going on?" Usopp wanted to know.
In response, Heracross created dozens of projectiles around him, before sending them towards the two Shandias.
Heracross use PIN MISSILE.
Having too many to dodge at all, the missiles eventually hit the two Indians, who disappeared in explosions, before collapsing to the ground. However, barely could he rejoice in his victory that the giant insect flew away to dodge a projectile that grazed him. Seeing his cannonball only hit the ground, Wiper growled, as he aimed for Heracross to kill him.
" DAMN IT ! "
Seeing him, in the company of several Shandias, Heracross remained motionless. Then, deciding to opt for a strategic withdrawal, he ended up leaving. Seeing him leave, Wiper wondered if pursuing him was the right strategy. But before deciding, he saw the Crow.
"What is that?" Asked one of his companions. "
"Who are these guys?" Yosaku frightened.
Staring at Wiper, Raynare finally hardens his gaze, before affirming.
"It's the masked guy who attacked us, when we arrived on the sky island."
" What ? "
"Yes! I recognize his bazooka." Sanji stated.
Also seeming to vaguely remember the pirates in front of him, Wiper stared at Raynare as well, all the while affirming.
"Aneko... So you came all the way here to destroy Enel, right?"
Then, he stared at Luffy and the others.
"And you are the Blue Sea Crew, who have been causing trouble in Skypiea! May I know what you came here to do?"
"Why should I answer you?" Luffy retorted.
Growling, however, Wiper ends up pretending to turn around.
"I know who you are...Monkey D. Luffy."
"Huh? How do you know me?"
"Go back where you came from! For the moment, you don't interest me! Killing Enel takes priority! But, if by misfortune, I meet you again on this island, this time, I will kill you."
"Enemies of Enel?" Sanji wondered.
"We... Maybe we can try to sympathize with them." Yosaku remarked. "The enemies of our enemy can become our friends."
"You're talking about some guy who tried to kill us for no reason." Raynare reminded him. "We can't trust him."
"Anyway, I don't think siding with us is what he wants." Sanji asserted.
"All that matters is that they're not priests." Usopp affirmed. "In that case, let's go get Nami and the others, and let those guys fight Enel."
However, staring at Wiper, Luffy finally said.
"I don't care who you are or if you are an enemy of Enel! But, in any case, if you dare to attack my friends, I will kick your ass."
"Tsss! Really?" Wiper questioned, feeling veins of anger forming on his forehead. "I find you very arrogant, Mugiwara! Is it because of your stupidity or your devil fruit?"
"Huh? How do you know so much about me?"
Having no more time to waste with him, Wiper finally left, followed by his companions, who carried the bodies of their wounded comrades.
" Hey, wait. " Luffy ordered, pretending to follow him.
"No, stay there." Usopp ordered him. "Do you want to chase him in this forest? Idiot, you will get lost! Don't forget what the "priest" told us! This forest is a real labyrinth.
Calming down, Luffy finally growled, while watching Wiper leave.
"He pays nothing to wait."
"Why do you want to fight him?" asked Usopp. "If he wants to kill Enel, that's fine with us! He and his friends will make a perfect diversion so that we can find the others and leave Skypiea alive."
at that moment, he felt the boat begin to descend.
"Huh?" He wondered.
being piloting the Crow, Sanji saw the Milky Road tilting and forced the Crow downhill and began to accelerate.
"What's going on?" Yosaku asked.
"Maybe another ordeal is coming." Raynare remarked.
Raising his gaze, to see the sky between the foliage of the trees, Sanji affirmed.
"The sun is setting! If this continues, we will have to stop and spend the night somewhere! Driving on this river of clouds, in the middle of the night, while being attacked by monsters does not seem like a very good idea to me. "
At this moment, they saw the end of the Milky Road which stopped while flowing into one in the middle of this lake was a building where the Merry was posed.
"The Merry?" Yosaku wondered.
"It's the sacrificial altar." Raynare affirmed.
"FINALLY !" Luffy rejoices.
However, advancing towards the lake, the pirates saw a dozen sharks swimming towards them, with their jaws wide open.
"AHHHHH! They're huge." Usopp shouted. "They're going to eat us alive."
However, finding sharks far less scary than pokemons, Luffy took a step forward.
" GUM GUM ... "
Then, he jumped out of the Crow, before swinging his arms around so that his fists looked like machine gun bullets.
" ... GATLING ! "
Not even having time to understand what was happening, the sharks were violently punched by Luffy's fists, who knocked them out in an instant, before being ejected into the lake. The next second, the Crow lands in the lake, before heading towards the Merry.
"MERRY!" Usopp rejoiced, starting to cry.
Nevertheless, he stopped, seeing the state of the boat. Its mast had been cut, some of its rope had burned, and a huge gash could be seen in its hull. All this proved that the boat had been attacked.
"What...what happened?"
"OYE, GUYS!" Luffy shouted.
He got no response. Immediately, Luffy stretched out his arm, and managed to grab hold of the railing of the boat. Letting himself be pulled, he flew through the air, before landing on the floor of the Merry.
"Hey, where are you?" He asked.
In an instant, he stopped. Coming behind him, flying, Raynare caught sight of the scene Luffy had just seen and murmured.
" Damn it ! "
Silent, Luffy turned his gaze to his left, to see the bodies of Gin, Velvet and Pierre, who were lying on the floor, all with numerous wounds on their bodies and remaining unconscious. Then, on his right, Luffy saw the bodies of Zoro, Gan Fall and Carue, which were in the same condition as the others.
Being the one who had managed to collect all the bodies on the floor, Menma was kneeling beside Zoro. Turning to Luffy, she could only show a tearful face.
" Luffy ... "
Arriving, at this moment, Nami and the others, left the forest and arrived in front of the lake.
"Finally, here we are." Lucy rejoiced.
Nevertheless, she stopped, like the other pirates, when she saw about twenty bodies on the ground. Appearing to have been trampled to death, the corpses of several divine soldiers lay at the feet of the pirates, some of whom lay in the center of crater-like holes created by powerful impacts. And, in the center of the carnage, the pirates saw the body of Chopper, lying on the ground and whose body was covered with gashes.
"CHOPPER!" Vivi shouted, rushing towards him.
Looking at the state of the reindeer, then, the Merry, Bruno asked.
"What happened here?"
At this moment, a powerful sound of shock was heard, while the upper part of the altar was pulverized by an impact.
" That ... ? "
Having left the Merry, Luffy punched the building, which managed to destroy it halfway. Attempting to take away some of his fury, the pirate ends up raising his face to the sky, before roaring.
" ENEL ! "
