Rose's POV

I followed Wyper through the forest. Along the way I helped him cut down the soldiers from God's army. It was a lot easier to get around on these skates thought they made climbing way harder. I kept a look out but didn't see anyone else from the crew the whole time either.

"See that." He pointed to a large beanstalk in the center of my view "That's Giant Jack. We need to get to the top."

"Eneru will be up there?" I asked.

"Should be."

We hopped on the stalk and skated towards the top.

"Why do you want Eneru so bad?" he asked.

"Because he tried to kill me. I try not to let people get away with that." I told him "My friends want to cut and run but I prefer to stay and get back at him. Thanks for letting me help you. We're not bad people I hope you understand that. We could care less about your land" We broke through the clouds "But I suppose getting the gold would be nice."

"Gold?"

"It's a rare mineral form our sea, very expensive. We heard that there was a city of gold up here so now we're looking for it." I told him.

"Well that city you're looking for might be where my people come from, and if that's the case I won't just let you steal from us."

"We'll hopefully we become great friends and you don't try and kill me." I said with a smile "Why do you want to get back at Eneru so bad."

"It's my people's destiny." He said "We've kept them waiting for us far too long."

We came out into some ruins, in the center there was a man sitting with a large dog.

That dog is oversized.

"Ohm!"

"Wyper and one of the Blue-Sea dwellers never thought I see you working together." The priest said.

"Ever heard the phrase, the enemy of my enemy is my friend." I told the man.

"God's shrine is just beyond here." The man adjusted his glasses with his middle finger "I won't let you pass!"

"Going to God's shrine will gain you nothing." I looked up and saw Gan Fall riding on his bird

"Sky Knight!"

"What are you talking about Gan Fall?" Wyper yelled

"I just came from God's Shrine. It's tragic, everything is destroyed, and of course Eneru is nowhere to be seen."

The building nearby got turned into rubble as someone fell from the sky.

"Zoro!"

I ran over and pulled my boyfriend out of the rubble.

"Are you alright?"

"What the hell you damn bird!" he yelled to the sky, then he noticed me "Where the hell have you been?"

"Helping him stop Eneru, we can deal with the gold later. I won't let someone who tries to kill me go unpunished." I told the man.

"Revenge gets you nothing but suffering." He told me

"I don't think that's true. As long as you don't let it consume you it's fine to want revenge."

And then the snake from earlier burst through the clouds and added itself to out skirmish

HOLY SHIT!

Zoro got up and looked around as I hid behind him. "Looks like a lot of strong people have gathered here."

"That just makes it more fun." I told him

"If you intended to get in my way I'll eliminate you." Wyper told Ohm.

"Let's all be nice now." I told the Shandorian

"Ain't this the guy that attacked our ship, what are you doing so buddy-buddy with him?" Zoro asked.

"I offered to help him get to Eneru; he wants to win back his people's land. I thought he could use a hand going against God." I told the man.

"We'll I don't trust him you should keep your distance."

"You sound like my brother." I responded.

"He's usually right." He said looking at me.

"Whatever we can have this argument later." I told him looking off.

"Where is Eneru?" Gan Fall spoke.

"I welcome you, to the Ordeal of Iron!"

We all stared each other down. It was mostly everyone verses Ohm but I wouldn't put it past Wyper to turn on me.

We've only been friends for few hours but I hope I can count on him

"Everyone sure has a lot to say." Zoro added.

"We only need to deal with the priest and the python. The rest can come down to fighting Eneru." I told him.

"Time to die!" Wyper shot the priest.

The snake got spooked by the bazooka and flailed around near Zoro and me. We moved out of the way as quickly as we could. The dog came at us next, when Zoro and I went to stop his jaws he threw a punch at us.

"That thing can throw punches?!" Zoro said astonished.

"His name is Holy. I've trained him to fight like a world class boxer." Ohm explained.

Gan Fall came in and attacked Ohm while Zoro and I split up to avoid the boxing dog. The creature went after him; I came across Wyper trying to deal with the giant python.

"Watch yourself" He told me "there are traps everywhere."

I looked around and saw what looked like barbwire all over the place. Wyper jumped up and fired his bazooka at the head of the reptile but the creature was barley phased.

"My bazooka didn't even scratch it!" He said astonished.

Well then my knives will be useless.

The snake threw itself towards me and I used the skates to avoid the beast. A ton more people came up the beanstalk, multiple members of God's army and three members of Wyper's militia. One more object came up through the clouds. It was Nami and a little girl riding on a Waver.

"Nami!"

"Aisa!"

That must be the girl's name.

A group of goat people tried to attack them but Wyper and I held them off.

"Nami why are you up here?!" I asked.

Wyper pointed his bazooka at Nami "Aisa get away from her!"

"No it's okay Nami's with me!" I told pushing the gun down.

"Rose! Where are the others?"

Gan Fall flew past and picked up the Waver. The snake reared up and opened its mouth.

"MOVE!"

The snake clamped his jaws and ate my friend.

"NAMI!"

During our distraction Zoro came back around followed by the dog and the priest. Zoro stopped the priest and Wyper and I had to dodge the dog.

"Damn mutt." I mumbled

The sword Zoro was blocking changed shape and cut around his sword. Wyper and I crashed into a building trying to avoid the dog.

"If you assume those two aren't dead yet that leaves eleven people and two animals left in the upper ruins." Ohm said counting the remaining competitors.

I hope the others are okay.

The dog ran around the outer edge of the ruins setting off a most of the pressure pads. The traps all triggered and formed a large dome of barbwire.

"This is the true trial of iron 'The white barb death match'!"

Zoro told them the cage was unnecessary as we had no intention of running away. Wyper picked up one of God's soldiers and threw him into the wire.

"I see." I said out loud "It's not trying to keep us in. It trying to make it harder to survive."

"Try not to get thrown into it." Wyper commented.

"There are eight men, one woman, and two animals remaining." Ohm said annoying who was left.

Why was I counted separately?

"WYPER!"

The man in question turned around and looked at a woman coming towards the cage.

"Laki!"

She tried to tell him something but he just screamed at her to leave. I looked closer and saw that there was a man behind her.

Who's he?

"Eneru!"

The woman shot at the man but the bullets just went right through him.

It didn't even touch him. It's just like how Steve described the fight with Crocodile.

One of the goat men tried to attack the oblivious Wyper. I ran up and tackled the man pushing him away from Wyper. A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and charred the woman Eneru was behind. She fell to the ground, I wasn't even sure if she was still alive.

"Bow before God!"

I turned around to see the remaining members of God's army behind me.

Son of a…I can't believe I got caught.

"AXE DIAL!"

Wyper's POV

"AHHHH!"

I looked behind me and saw the Blue-Sea woman, Rose get assaulted by the members of God's Army.

Dammit!

I blew the men away from her as she fell to the ground in a heap. I went over and found her lying on the ground covered in blood and cuts from the axe dial.

"You idiot. Why did you protect me?!"

"Sorry…your goal is much more important than mine. This is what my need for revenge got me." She coughed "I'm glad you're still standing, I hope you can… free your homeland…"

That swordsman came over and had a pissed off look on his face "What did you do to her!"

"Nothing she did it to herself!"

The man slashed at me "Bullshit!"

"There are six men and two animals remaining."

Steve's POV

We wandered around the ruins as Robin read the writing on the walls.

"Where's that Golden Bell Noland was talking about?" I asked her.

Robin ignored me and headed to the center of the town

When we got there, she looked confused "the belfry is supposed to be at the center of the four alters but it isn't here."

"Why are there cart rails here?" I wondered out loud "Isn't this place kinda old for them."

"Who knows how advanced the people were. It's possible for them to have had carts." She said

Someone laughed "It's magnificent. Even after being blasted into the sky this place has retained its grandeur. The city of Shandora."

I got into a defensive stance "And you are?"

"I am God." The man told us.

This must be Eneru.

"Unfortunately, you're too late. The gold is long gone. I took it for myself. It suits me."

"Does that mean you took the Golden Bell as well?" Robin asked him.

The man looked confused "What bell?"

"Oh well than it mustn't have made it to the sky." Robin said.

"Wait! It is here. They say you could hear the ringing of a bell when this place was blasted into the sky. I supposed when the game ends in a few minutes I'll go and take a look." The man raised his hand to the sky "It appears a rat has gotten out of his cage."

A bolt of lightning erupted out of his arm and connected with the sky. The clouds above were destroyed and the ruins began to crumble.

"What did you do?!" Robin yelled over the noise.

"I just invited some of your friends to the party."

A huge stone landed near Robin and I. The stone was moved by someone underneath it.

"Swordsman!"

"Zoro!"

I looked over and saw Zoro was lifting the boulder off himself with one hand. I went over to help him and saw what was in his hand.

"Chopper!"

Who the hell did this?

"Where the hell are we?" Zoro asked.

"The city of gold, but there's no gold here." Robin explained.

"Zoro do you know where anyone else is." I asked him.

"Nami got eaten by that snake and Rose is in bad shape but I don't know where she is. Last time I saw here she was out cold up there." He said pointing up "I didn't see her when I fell down here."

Crap!

"She's right there." Robin pointed out.

I looked over and saw Rose over the shoulder of that man that had threated us after the Ordeal of Spheres. The sky darkened again as a bolt shocked the snake.

"Nami!"

"I'm right here."

"What the hell!" Zoro and I yelled.

She explained that she and Gan Fall had escaped the snake but Luffy and some girl named Aisa were still trapped inside.

"That idiot."

The man with the bazooka walked past and placed Rose near Nami.

"What'd you do to my sister?" I said glaring at the man

"Sorry she hurt because of me." He explained "She tried to help me reclaim my home and got herself hurt. She said to make sure I got it back."

"I'm Steve; this is Zoro and Robin, and that's Nami." I said introducing the crew; I'd have to trust Rose's trust in this guy.

"My name's Wyper."

It's nothing like the guy who attacked us the past few times.

"This is quite problematic" Eneru said "I predicted six people would be left but there are still seven people here."

Me, Robin, Zoro, Gan Fall, The Guerilla, and himself? He must be counting Nami too.

"So who will be the last one to fall? Will you fight amongst yourselves or will I choose?"

"You wanna?" Zoro asked Robin and I.

"No thanks." Robin told him

"Me too." I said.

"No way." Wyper added

"I also refuse." Gan Fall said rounding out our group.

"The one who will fall is you!" We pointed at Eneru.

"Oh really?" he smiled.
