This is the 34th chapter. I don't own the series of One Piece.
Jaya, the City of Gold in the Sky!
With the intention of the priests focused on the elimination of Gan Fall, Wyper ceases the opportunity to lead the Shandorians in a raid on Upper Yard. After defeating the priest, Satori, Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, and Caius head for the Sacrificial Alter, which is where Gan Fall, Chopper, and Vents met a monk named Sareena after making their way to the land to rest. They have learned that Sareena is one of the resistant fighters who goes up against the Garlean Empire after telling them the Shadorians are making their move and strike against the priests. Meanwhile, Nami, Robin, Zoro, and Leon reached Upper Yard shore and discovered the shocking secret behind this floating island.
Upper Yard
After discovering the secret behind the island that was once called Jaya, the City of Gold and why it was now known as the Town of Ridicule, Nami, Zoro, Robin, and Leon are starting to realize what really happened of the part of the island. They began to realize that the Knock-Up Stream rising part of the island up in the sky and it became the Upper Yard for 400 years while part of the island on the Blue Sea became the Town of Ridicule. Then, Nami screamed with a cheer, pumping her fists in the air.
"Good God, thank you!" Nami shouts. "I can't believe after all this suffering we've endured to find Sky Island that it turns out to be the City of Gold! Which must be your way to reward me for my good behavior, right God? You're just...great~!"
"That's what you're screaming for?!" Leon exclaims in annoyance.
"Shut up! Ten minutes, you were scared this God is gonna kill you, remember?" Zoro adds when he, Leon, and Robin sweat dropped which it got Nami's attention.
"Well, call me shallow, but I don't care how scared I get as long as somebody has gold waiting for me." Nami remarked with a smug.
"So, do you fear or praise this God?" Robin asks. "I'm confused.
"You make no sense." Leon told the navigator.
"You can say that again." Zoro agrees. "And besides, I've had enough keeping up with her mood swings."
Meanwhile, the Shandorians launched a full-scale assault against the priests inside of the forest with a battle cry. Braham glides down to the forest, firing the number of priests with his pistols while his tribe charges after them, but the loud explosion was heard and the flock of birds were flying away. Sanji, Luffy, Usopp, and Caius were able to get out of the Ordeal of Spheres, which they're keeping a sharp eye in case another one of the priests tried to attack, and now they're sailing towards the grassy fields.
"What is this?" Luffy asked, narrowed his eyes with his jaws dropped, looking at the fields.
"My money that this is where we're supposed to find the next Ordeal." Sanji states.
"Which would mean another one of the priests is bound to show. So, it's better we keep our guard up." Caius adds.
"Oh no! I think one Ordeal is enough of a nightmare for today!" Usopp complains. "Which one seems like it could be out here! String?! Iron?! Swamp?! I so nervous!"
"Would you stop panicking!" Caius shouts, bonked him in the head. "I mean, if it were any of those, then what's the point in choosing an Ordeal earlier?!"
"Oh, that's true." Usopp said, calms down after hearing that question, taking another look at the grassy field when he notices something and it got him panicked. "But look what's down there! It's a field of thousand impaled skulls set on like trophies trying to scare us and it's working!?"
While the Straw Hats sailed lower, they saw the skulls hanging on top of the poles.
"Yeah, you're right." Luffy said. "I wonder who did this?"
"It's another one of those priests, I just know it!?" Usopp exclaims with a scream. "He's gonna tear our bodies in half!?"
"Another priest with another Ordeal? Sounds like fun!" Luffy said with excitement.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Usopp shouts, turns to him. "Those are heads on sticks back there, on sticks! That's gonna be us!"
"Did neither of you hear Caius's earlier question!" Sanji said, kicking his crew in the head.
Caius could only sigh at their antics, feeling annoyed that neither Luffy nor Usopp listen to his question earlier. He decided to turn his head to side, but it got their attention when the explosion was heard from a distance along with the Shandorian war cry.
"Hey, what's that smoke?" Luffy asks.
"Gaaah! I knew it! They're gonna get us with strings, iron, and swamp all at once!" Usopp exclaims in panic, quickly turns to the smoke.
"That certainly would save time." Sanji said.
"A time is something we don't have." Caius adds.
Just as they watched the smoke from the distance, a blue beam was shot our, destroying a few of the skulls on a stick.
"GAAAAH! WE'RE DEAD! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Usopp hollered at the top of his voice.
They watched as the Shandorians shot over the 'Crow', which Wyper looked down at Luffy and Caius with the killing intent look on his face. As he left the behind, Wyper flipped himself upside down, aiming his bazooka straight at them, and fired a shot. Usopp panicked in fright, but Caius grabbed him by the back of his collar and yanked him away while Luffy came in, using his Devil Fruit power to turn himself into a balloon to not only stop the shot, but repel it straight at the forest. The sight of Luffy shocked the Shandorians, but Wyper only cocked his eye. The Shandorians landed on the branches from as afar.
"What's wrong with that guy?"
"Paramecia. Only one who's eaten the Devil Fruit could do that." Wyper said, noticed Luffy's power.
The Shandorians looked closely at the Straw Hats and saw them sailing. It got them noticing a Reaper, who showing an intimidating yet dark aura and warning them not to start a fight with them, which the Shandorians won't be backing down easily.
"Wyper, we fighting?"
"Not now, keep moving." Wyper replied which both Sanji and Caius to recognize him in an instant.
"You..." Sanji muttered with his eyes widen.
'That's the guy who attacked us a while ago!' Caius mentally thought. 'And the way he fights, he has to be the leader!'
"We're ready! Come on down!" Luffy barked angrily. "We'll cream you! Make your move, big guy!"
"Luffy, we don't have time to get into a fight!" Caius barked, whacked him on the head. "Our crew is more important! Let's not waste any more time!"
Luffy massaged his head as he looked back at Wyper, which his glare was showing he's eager to fight.
"You sound and stink like Blue Sea people, which means you're the ones causing all the chaos in Skypiea!" Wyper shouts, rising to his feet on the branch.
"Luffy, that's the guerilla we saw back at the White Sea. Look!" Sanji pointed out.
They even remembered of the first encounter where Wyper charges after the Straw Hat and about to take them out, but thanks to Ventus' interference and taking him down, it causes the tribal leader to withdraw after Gan Fall arrived.
"Even I recognize him as the same tribal warrior as well." Caius stated.
It got Usopp realizing that as he starts to scream in panic and kneels down to the floor of the 'Crow'.
"AAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHA!? Just blow us up and get it over with!" Usopp whines.
"Oh, shut up!" Caius shouts, bonked him in the head with white eyes and shark-like teeth. "We're not gonna get blown up!"
"If you don't want to die, then go back to your Blue Sea immediately!" Wyper ordered. "Because I promise you if you do anything stupid on this island, we'll execute you with Eneru!"
"They're up here trying to kill this guy, Eneru?" Sanji said with realization. "Then that means these guerillas...are different."
"That must be the God Satori kept mentioning." Caius recalling. "That would mean these guerillas are after him while bearing a grudge."
"If by different and grudge means they're not priests, then that means they don't have to kill us!?" Usopp whimpered out of fear, with teary eyes. "So, for the sake of keeping our body parts attached, can we please sail on!?"
Sanji and Caius agreed to the snipers suggestion, but Luffy on the other hand...
"Not a chance! What do you say to a..."
Caius took a step forward, placing his scythe right up to Luffy's neck with dark aura. Knowing whose scythe belongs to was enough for Luffy to stop shouting. Like Ventus, Luffy didn't want to piss the Reaper off while he had ahold of him.
"We're not here for a fight!" Caius shouted at the Shandorians. "We're only here to find the Sacrificial Altar, where our friends are at! If you have a problem with our presence here, then we'll be out of your way! But if you ever start attacking again...I won't hesitate to kill you! Do you hear me?!"
This warning from the Reaper, showing his dark aura along with the Voidsent, rang to everyone. Luffy was silent with his face pale as a sheet of paper as Caius lowered his scythe from his neck. What he said was true enough to him, and he knew Shanks would be like that as well.
"See, Luffy, this is what happens when you try to piss either him or Ventus off!" Sanji warned him sternly.
"Please, Caius! Don't aggravate them!" Usopp whines, clutching on the edge of his coat. "The last thing we need is for them to have a reason to blow us up!"
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Sanji told him. "Look."
Usopp turns his head to the Shandorians, noticing the frightened look on their faces and Wyper didn't faze which deep down, he was even intimidated.
"W-What is this?! What is he?!"
"That man has a scythe and dark aura around him! It's like we're facing some kind of a monster!"
'It's worse than that...It's like we're seeing 'Death' itself!' Wyper mentally thought as he turns to his tribe. "We don't have time dealing them! They'll probably end up killing themselves before they even had the chance to make it off this island."
And with that, the Shandorians took off through the trees. Usopp slowly collapse down to the deck with teary eyes, relieved that the Shandorians finally left without starting a fight. Luffy and Caius are beginning to wonder why were the Shandorians are here in the Upper Yard.
"I wonder why they're up here?" Luffy asks with a serious look on his face.
"I think this has something to do with Eneru and his priests. And by the look of them, I'd say they're launching a full assault here." Caius states.
"Maybe, but we can't be too sure about it and with what you're telling us, it might be that." Sanji said. "Though, they're the enemies of Eneru as well as us."
"You know...I've really do hate this place." Usopp complains.
"Let's keep moving." Sanji suggests, continuing to sail while Usopp fakes his cough.
"I think my 'Can't-Go-To-The-Jungle' disease is acting up!" Usopp lied.
"I'm starving!" Luffy complains as Caius beats both him and Usopp silly.
"We don't have time for second thoughts and it's already too late to turn back! We still have to get to the Sacrificial Altar! Is that clear!" Caius warned them, who's in bumps and bruises."
"Right, we're sorry!" Luffy and Usopp apologize in a muffled tone.
While inside of the jungle in the Upper Yard, the battle between the Shandorians and the priests continued to rage on. But unfortunately, the Shandorians are being overwhelmed by Gedatsu, Ohm, and Holy which the dog bites one of them, causing him to cry out in pain. The Shandorians barely dodges away from the giant dogs', trying to fight back.
"I'll cover you!" Raki called them, firing her rifle at Holy. "Get him outta that things mouth!"
Holy was forced to let drop one of the Shandorian after getting shot in the head by Raki, which it didn't even faze him but enough to open his mouth. The Shandorians were advancing towards Ohm, surrounding him as he readied his fighting stance with his blade ready, swings his blade and then sheathed it, causing the Shandorians to grunt in pain and flying right towards the trees, knocked out.
While at the grassy fields, the Straw Hat are continuing to sail their way to the Sacrificial Altar. Luffy is mostly relaxing while Sanji kept steering, Caius kept his guard up, and Usopp looks through his goggles.
"There's no way they'll let us outta here this easily!" Usopp complains. "You know as soon as we relax, we're all dead meat! We're got zero, and I mean Zoro-no I mean Zolo chances-no, no, zero...wonder how Zoro is doing?"
Back at the fight, the Shandorians are getting overwhelmed and Gedatsu, who was able to send them flying easily. One of the Shandorians tried to cleave him which Gedatsu was able to grab hold of the edge of the axe as he smirks and sending him flying right towards the tree.
Few hours later, Sanji, Usopp, Luffy, and Caius continued to sail which they're able to get out of the grassy fields and back into the jungle. And the sun is beginning to set.
"We've be sailing forever, Sanji, when could we stop?" Luffy complains. "Could we stop now?"
"Soon, I just wanna make sure that behind us is way behind us." Sanji answered.
"I think since we've come they'll let us keep on moving." Usopp states, hoping.
"I don't think that's case, they're too busy fighting against the priests and this island is already turning into a battlefield ever since the guerillas started the assault." Caius points out.
But before Usopp could argue, the 'Crow' starts to sail down and they're starting to go fast as he and Luffy, who's grabbing the straw hat, grabs hold of the mast while Caius holds on to the side and his hat.
"I knew it! We're dead! We're dead!" Usopp shouts.
"This is it!" Luffy said excitedly with a laugh and a grin as they sail down in the spiral stream. "Dying will be a blast!"
"But the whole point is not to die!? Speaking of points, what's the point of having the canal spiral like this?!" Usopp complains which he's starting to get dizzy, with swirling eyes. "Suddenly, I don't feel very good!"
"Yeeeaaaaahahaha!" Luffy shouts as they sail right down. "You gotta admit, this is fun!"
"I admit nothing!" Usopp shouts back.
"Hold on!" Luffy said.
"I'm already doing that?!" Usopp snapped with white eyes and shark-like teeth as they sail right towards the curl and down toward the curves.
"These Milky Roads are a blast!" Luffy shouts with a laugh.
"And they're perfect if you ate something earlier and you don't wanna keep it!" Usopp retorted. "I really, really, really hate this place!?"
Back on the battlefield in the Upper Yard, the loud explosions was heard and the Shandorians kept on fighting against Ohm. Kamakiri leaps in midair as he swings his spear at Ohm, who blocks that attack with his blade. Genbo and Braham gives Kamakiri a hand by going after Ohm.
While the battle between the Shandorians and the priests continued, the sun is setting and the Straw Hats are still sailing through the Milky Road to get to the Sacrificial Altar.
"The sun's going down, I wonder what we'll run into after dark." Usopp said. 'You think we can make to the altar before then?"
"No, I don't." Sanji answered simply as Usopp goes through the goggles.
"I can barely see the sunset through those clouds." Usopp said.
"I wouldn't be surprised about it, considering we're in the Sky Island." Caius points out.
"I'm surprised they even have sunsets up here." Luffy said with a big grin as they continue to sail through.
Back at the fight in the jungle, the Shandorians and the priests are still raging on and Wyper and his tribe had arrived to help their tribe which it got Ohm and Gedatsu's attention. It got Genbo's attention as he turns to them.
"Wyper! We can handle these guys!" Genbo informed him while Kamakiri blocked the attacked.
"Yeah, help the others!" Kamakiri adds.
"Got it!" Wyper replied, charges after Gedatsu, who blocks the Shandorians as he descends down while delivering a kick, which the priest dodges by turning his head and the tribal leader aims his bazooka and fires.
Upper Yard, Sacrificial Altar
Meanwhile, Sareena widen her eyes in shock after she learned from Ventus, who told her of his homeland about to be invaded by the Garlean Empire soon. Sareena felt bad for the young Dragoon, sickened of his family killing his parents, and determined to fight the Garlean Empire. But it got their attention when she and the young Dragoon glances over at the jungle.
"Is something wrong?" Gan Fall asks since it got his attention.
"The battle between the Shandorians and the priests are on. Guess Wyper and his tribe gone up full-scale assault." Sareena told him.
"I was afraid this would happen eventually, and it would seem Eneru got what he wanted." Gan Fall said with a sigh. "After everything I went to make a treaty, it is now wasted."
"That reminds me, how did Eneru overthrown you and taking up the title as God?" Ventus inquires, turns to him.
"Well, he uses the 'Mantra' along with the Devil Fruit, Logia no doubt." Gan Fall answered with a ponder.
"What kind of Logia fruit?" Sareena asks.
"He can use the power of electricity, which it would give him the advantage on beating me." Gan Fall answered as Ventus and Sareena recognizes the fruit.
"Rumble-Rumble Fruit." Ventus muttered. "There's no doubt about it, Eneru ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit which makes him a human lightning."
"With the addition of 'Mantra', Eneru is one powerful fighter." Sareena adds with an agreement.
Then, Nami, Zoro, Robin, and Leon got at the Sacrificial Altar, but notices the Going Merry has gone worse for wear because the wings are torn in half.
"Chopper! Ventus!" Nami called them which it got their attention. "Where are you guys?! If either of you can hear me, answer!"
Ventus then flies toward his crew at the other side of the land.
"We heard you, Nami." Ventus said. "What did you find?"
"Never mind that, look, the wing is ripped in half." Zoro told him when he notices the Going Merry. "What did you and Chopper do when we're gone?"
"It's obvious, we were attacked by a priest named Shura." Ventus explains. "We were lucky we got help from Gan Fall after Chopper gave a loud whistle."
"Wait, Gan Fall?" Nami repeats as Ventus nods.
"Let me guess, you killed him right?" Zoro asks.
"Yeah, but we've got information from him about Eneru and we got a new ally." Ventus told him.
"So, I guess that would mean that Eneru and his priests are furious." Robin said in morbid tone.
"Would it kill you to think positive!?" Nami yelled, turns to her with white eyes and shark-like teeth.
"Anyway, tell us what happened and what did you find out about this Eneru guy and Gan Fall, and also, could you tell us about the new ally you told us about." Zoro suggests.
While at the Milky Road, the rest of the Straw Hats were continuing to sail upwards which happens to be the tallest tree.
"Ha! We're climbing over a tree! And it's the biggest tree I've ever seen!" Luffy said with a chuckle.
"My stomachs already in knots and your yammering isn't helping, Luffy." Usopp complains. "Do you feel that? It's weird, like something bad is going to happen when we go over that treetop!"
"Maybe, but my money is on the rest of those priest waiting for us at the end of our sailing here." Sanji comments.
"That's what you were sensing, Usopp. An incredibly unsafe drop of the stre-"
Before Luffy could even finish that sentence, they were at the treetop and then sail down towards inside of the jungle with fast speed, causing Usopp to hold on the mast for his dear life.
"AAAAAHHHH! PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT ANOTHER CORKSCREW!?" Usopp yelled.
"Huh, you see them down there?" Sanji asks when he notices a school of sky-sharks down at the cloudly river.
"Are those the priests?" Usopp asks.
"No, just sky-sharks." Sanji answered simply.
"Oh, thank goodness, I thought for sure we were goners." Usopp states when the sky-sharks opened their mouths, ready for lunch as he yelled in panic. "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHAT DO YOU MEAN SKY-SHARKS?! AHHH! THOSE SUCKERS WILL SWALLOW US AAAAAALLLLLL!?"
Usopp then yelled in panic, continued to sail down as Sareena leaps off of the ground and readied her fist.
"Howling Fist" Sareena punches down to the cloudy river, sending the sky-sharks flying right towards the jungle grounds and saving the rest of the Straw Hats.
"What the?!" Sanji exclaims in shock.
"What the hell was that?!" Zoro adds as they landed on the cloudy river while Sareena merges her head out of the sea.
"That's the new ally I've told you about." Ventus said as he flew towards the monk, grabbing hold of her and places her down to the ground. "Nice timing."
"I couldn't leave your friends dead from those sky-sharks." Sareena remarked with a smirk.
"We're soaking wet!" Usopp complains when Luffy notices the Going Merry at the Sacrificial Altar.
"Check it out!" Luffy shouts, points at the altar. "We found it! There's the altar with the Going Merry sitting right on top!"
It got their attention to the crew, who waving at them which Sanji had gone goo-goo eyes again.
"Nami~! Robin~! I missed you so much~!" Sanji shouts happily. "Sorry to keep you waiting, but I beat the Ordeal of Love to get here~!"
"I thought it was Spheres, not Love!" Luffy points out.
"And that's not the Ordeal we've endured!" Caius shouted.
"If that was Love, I don't ever want to find it again!" Usopp adds. "Anyway, who cares!? We're alive!"
Nami couldn't help but sweat drop at their antics, glances away from them with a smile on her face.
"Sounds like they're happy to be here." Nami said with a sigh of relief. "Safe and sound."
The group all made it to the Going Merry where Chopper and Ventus explained to them about the priest Shura attacking and Gan Fall interfere, which the young Dragoon finishes him by killing the priest.
"Well, at least the ship is still intact along with the mast." Usopp said with relief.
"I guess that leaves only two of the priests left." Sanji states, puffing the smoke out of his mouth.
"Yeah, but the question is, who are you?" Nami asks, turning to the monk.
"My name is Sareena, I'm a monk from Ala Mhigo and the resistance fighters against the Garlean Empie." Sareena introduces herself which it got them, except Ventus, Gan Fall, Leon, Caius, and Chopper shocked.
"Wait, you're fighting against the Garlean Empire as well?!" Nami exclaims as Sareena nods.
"5 years." Sareena replied.
"Just like Leon, who also fought them for only 5 years." Usopp states.
"How come you never mentioned about her?!" Sanji demands, turning to the Gunbreaker.
"You didn't ask. The conversation never brought it up because knowing you, you'll probably try to have your way with her." Leon told him with a deadpan look, causing Sanji to face fault down to the ground.
"And I don't take kindly to anyone who tries to flirt like a pervert!" Sareena adds with a growl, making Sanji pale as a sheet of paper, scared.
"But, we've got something about Gan Fall." Ventus said, earned their attention. "He's down there, and he wants to tell you guys himself."
And with that, the Straw Hats listened of Gan Fall's explanation while they listened carefully. Chopper, Ventus, and Sareena were the only ones who knew about Gan Fall as the former God, Eneru became the current God, and why he became a Sky Knight. After Gan Fall finished his explanation, the Straw Hats couldn't help but felt stunned.
"So all this time...you're a God?!" Nami exclaims in shock.
"Former, but yes. I was a God and was about to make a treaty with the Shandorians, but Eneru dethroned me years ago." Gan Fall replied.
"And yet, you've helped our friends for fighting against the priest." Luffy states. "Even though, you gave us that whistle for free."
"Yes, but if it wasn't for your Dragoon friend, we would've been dead and all of you won't have a ship to sail." Gan Fall agrees.
"I got a bunch of questions for you, but I guess I'll wait until we get answers about this island." Sanji said, turns to Ventus. "We owe you a thanks you and Pierre, Ventus."
Ventus nods while Pierre replied with a squawk. Sareena walks to them.
"The Going Merry won't be going anywhere and it's getting dark soon. So, there's chance on getting out in this state until tomorrow." Sareena informed them. "We should make camp on land and rest for the night."
"Huh? Why there?" Luffy asks when they left the Going Merry.
"Because if we stay here and someone attacks us, the first thing they take a beating is our ship." Usopp points out with a shrug. "Would you use your head, Luffy!?"
"Not to mention the fight between the Shandorians and the priests are still ongoing." Sareena adds.
"And it's easier to fight on land than an altar floating on a cloud." Sanji adds as Luffy and Chopper cheered.
"Camping!" Luffy shouts excitedly.
"This isn't a party! We're in the enemy territory!" Usopp shouts with bulging eyes. "Now calm down!"
"Not a party, bot it." Luffy replied, looking at the sky-sharks. "Hey Usopp, is barbecue a party?"
And once they're on land, they made camp for the night while cooking up the sky-sharks as Luffy took a bite out of one of them.
"These things are tasty." Luffy said with his mouthful.
"You'd eat dirt if we told you, it's food." Nami said in annoyance.
"Ha! You don't even tried it! What do you know?" Luffy retorted.
"Forget it, Nami. He doesn't even speak sarcasm." Ventus told her with a sigh as Usopp taps the chalkboard.
"Quiet down now! It is time to hear everyone's field reports!" Usopp said seriously as Sanji was the first to speak.
"We've ran into this priest name, Satori, who uses Spheres with different kinds of threats inside each one." Sanji explains. "Explosives, dragons, the usual, but what really hung us out to dry in the fight was that this guy kept predicting our moves, using a power called 'Mantra' or something."
Then, Ventus starts to explain.
"We've ran into this priest goes by as Shura, who uses Strings to restrain anyone's movements while either him or that vulture to finish us by burning us. And he also uses his lance to heat up while burning anything on sight." Ventus explains. "Gan Fall and I were able to fight him with lances, but like Satori, he can predict our movements by using 'Mantra' and I uses my nose to block the attacks while finishing him off."
Then, Nami explains.
"Sounds like you all had a rough time." Nami said. "Well, we found that this island were on is actually the missing part of Jaya. You see, the City of Gold didn't sink into the ocean, it was shot into this sky, like us."
Then, Sareena explains.
"Guess it explains why this island is dirt instead of clouds." Sareena said. "Well, we learned from Gan Fall that Eneru is actually a powerful one and why he's God for a reason. Like those priests you've encountered, he can also use 'Mantra' to predict the movements, and he's a Devil Fruit user, eating a Rumble-Rumble fruit. It's a Logia-type that can produce electricity, and making him into a human lightning."
After the Straw Hats, except Luffy who's busy eating, told Usopp about what they have learned, he spoke.
"Excellent work!" Usopp shouts with a smirk, which it got Luffy's attention. "Now, based on your reports, we've learned that: The priests can predict our movements, using the power they like to call 'Mantra'! And bird blows flames and the spear will burn you! But most importantly, we've learned this! The City of Gold is not 1,000 leagues under the sea as we have thought, but it is hidden somewhere on this very island!"
"No way!?" Luffy exclaims with his bulging eyes.
"That was the first thing I've told you!?" Nami shouts in annoyance.
"So, what is this 'Mantra' business all of a sudden?" Zoro inquires.
"Basically, it's a six sense you only get here on this island." Sareena answered.
"Six sense?" Zoro repeats.
"But that was just a beginner level of the 'Mantra', Eneru's 'Mantra' is entirely different." Gan Fall told him which Luffy is getting excited.
"An adventure with gold at the end! I can't wait!" Luffy said with a big grin.
"Gold to see someone on my side, I'm ready." Nami adds with a smirk, winks.
"Luffy, no! Did you forget what the scary guerilla guy said about execution?" Usopp questions in a fright look, reminded him.
"God will be...really mad!" Chopper adds.
"Sounds like fun." Robin said with a chuckle.
"Well, we wouldn't be very good pirates if we turned our backs on gold." Sanji said with a smirk. "So, let's not."
"It won't be easy, you everybody up here already hates us." Zoro adds. "Which means I'm in."
"I'm always itching for a fight anyway, so I'm up for that." Sareena said with a smirk.
"And with everything going on, we still have a chance." Ventus said. "Let's do this."
"Come on." Usopp protested, in teary eyes. "Aren't you even a little frightened of the wrath of God? I mean, I wanna live, don't you?"
"Even if we flee, it's pointless to try. Besides, we already made enemies here and I don't think we can just turn and run." Leon points out. "So, you and Chopper can't win this one."
Usopp and Chopper knows that the Gunbreaker made a valid point as Luffy laughs with his fists pumping in the air.
"GOLD! AND IT'S ALL WAITING FOR US!" Luffy shouts.
That's it for the 34th chapter.
