Another One-Shot Chapter
EXTRA! Fairy Vearth! (Zoro's POV) 1/2
The sky wasn't impressive.
It was just... high.
After everything they'd been through, Zoro expected something more when they burst through the sea and landed in the clouds. Maybe lightning storms or winged beasts—something. But no. Just a weird sea made of cotton and air, and a captain who yelled "SKYPIA!" like it was the greatest word he'd ever learned.
Zoro crossed his arms and stared at the expanse of white. "Tch. Still clouds."
It took a while, but then they met the girl—Conis—and her father. Kind enough. Too kind, maybe. And polite in that way that warned Zoro something was off.
Talk of laws. Entry fees. Gates. Wavers. Rules.
Rules were trouble.
They were still smiling when the White Berets came.
A dozen of them. Floaty boots. Big hats. Swinging strange weapons while shouting about violations and sacred regulations. Luffy blinked. Usopp screamed. Nami tried to negotiate.
Zoro drew one sword. "Don't like the way they move."
The crew is declared "criminals." Sentenced to the Upper Yard—God's Realm.
Zoro thinks it's stupid. "God's Realm"? What kind of joke is that?
He figures if there's a "god," he's probably another strong fool who needs a good fight.
They land in the jungle. Things get wild fast.
Zoro gets separated chasing an enemy—or maybe the ground just gave out. Doesn't matter.
Now he's alone in a massive, cloud-draped forest. Animals made of sky. Vines that bite.
Zoro cuts his way through it all, grumbling the whole time.
Then the forest shook.
A shockwave in the distance. Trees bent. Birds screamed. Something big.
Luffy?
Maybe. Probably.
Then a quiet voice on a Den Den Mushi he'd forgotten he was carrying.
Robin's. "Everyone regroup. We're approaching the altar."
He nodded once and moved. Wrong direction. Then right. A smoke signal curled upward—probably Usopp's doing. Accidentally setting another tree on fire.
Zoro sighed. "Idiot."
He walked toward the fire.
Above him, the clouds churned. The jungle rustled. And somewhere up there, this so-called "god" waited.
Zoro didn't care about gods.
He only cared about the fight.
"I hate the sky."
