"What's wrong with those guys?" Luffy questioned.
"Forget them!" Nami turned everyone's attention to the gate inspector, Amazon. The elder at Heaven's Gate ratted the crew out to Skypiea's authorities and now they are in quite a mess. Nami mentioned once again that the old lady didn't even try to warn us of the consequences illegal entry faced. Usopp agreed with her, but also mentioned how the crew would have just forced their way threw anyways, "I mean how's that little old lady going to stop us?"
"SHUT UP!" Nami and (Y/N) scolded him in unison.
Pagaya reminded the crew that they are now second degree criminals meaning that Conis and himself can no long associate with them. "Why are you talking to us from way over there?!" (Y/N) shouted since the father spoke to the pirates yards away from them.
Luffy question why the crew wasn't used to this kind of treatment. "I was deemed as law abiding citizen before all this!" (Y/N) looked the most devastated amongst all of the pirates.
"I find that hard to believe." Zoro looked down at her while crossing his arms, "Even so, you better get used to this life. You're the one who agreed to join a pirate crew after all."
(Y/N) looked pissed, "I was once apart of a pirate crew before, ya know?!" (Y/N) quickly covered her mouth as the rest of the crew looked at her in shock and confusion. "But that was along time ago." She waved everyone off, nervously laughing.
Before awkward silence could fill the air, Luffy asked Nami why she came back.. "What?!" She questioned the boy.
Luffy went off to explain that the crew was about to set to go on an epic adventure— No, to go find and rescue Nami since the crew was getting worried. His slip up in words immediately earned him a classic, and painful, Nami scolding.
"Why don't you stay here and relax while we go out on an epic adventure?" Luffy suggested to Nami, but she angrily reminded him that everyone here are now wanted criminals in Skypiea and that she isn't going to stay here any longer. Luffy and her continued to argue, until Usopp brought up a good point.
"We put all of our energy just trying to get up here, but we never figured out how to get back." Conis and her father walked back up to the crew as Usopp asked if there was even a way to get back to the Blue Sea world safely.
"There is a way to get back," Conis informed, "but I'm afraid it's no longer safe. You're only hope for escape is to make your way to Cloud End. From there you can travel home." She further explain what Cloud End is and how to get there: by traveling across the White White Sea.
Luffy whines about not wanting to go home yet, but Usopp and Nami quickly explained that it's either go home or die in the clouds. Nami added in that we've caused enough trouble for Conis and her father. And with that, everyone began to walk to the Merry saying goodbye to Conis and her father.
"Ooo hold on!" A lightbulb appeared in Luffy's head. He turned back and asked Pagaya if he could take the leftovers from earlier with him.
"Of course his stomach talks for him." (Y/N) sighs. Luffy called over Sanji to come with so he can prepare some more food for us to take, and too (Y/N)'s surprise, the cook agreed and walked back with Luffy. Even Usopp, who was so eager to leave, asked Pagaya for any spare tools he might have for the Merry. "Oh great, the group is splitting up again." (Y/N) shook her head in disbelief.
Nami was not happy about the situation that just unfolded in front of her, "Doesn't he get it?!" Nami yelled at the remaining Straw Hats.
"Don't take it out on us, you know how he is." Zoro turned back towards Nami, "Seriously, try to relax."
"Chopper? (Y/N)?" Nami's kind voice made our spines chill. "You guys are still on my side, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?!!"
"Don't answer that." Zoro commanded as they sped walked to the ship. Chopper used his heavy point form to jump onto the ship as (Y/N) simply activated her air air fruit and flew up on board.
"I was about to drop the ladder for you two." Robin giggled as she looked at (Y/N) who was still floating in the air. "I didn't know you were able to fly."
(Y/N) smiled down at her and did some flips in the air, even going back down to carry Nami, bridal style, on board. Chopper just starred at her amazed. "Yeah but I can only do it for about a minute." She explained. "Any longer and it gets exhausting."
"That's a neat trick. Why didn't you use that if our last fight?" Zoro asked the (h/c) haired girl as he used the rope ladder to climb aboard.
"I didn't think you were ready for it." She stuck her tongue out at him and giggled, which made him angrily blush.
Changing the subject, Zoro explained to Nami that there was no persuading Luffy of anything because he wouldn't listen even if the whole crew ganged up on him. Nami tried asking Robin and (Y/N) to go beat some sense into Luffy, but the two woman both agreed that it wouldn't work.
Robin was pulling the rope ladder back up, but noticed Conis approaching. "I feel I need to tell you something." Conis looked up at the confused women and reindeer. Once Conis boarded the ship, she informed the four that there is a cloud current that will take the crew directly down to the White Sea. "Yes. By entering the current, you can cross a vast expanse of the White White Sea. Then it will take you all the way to Cloud End, you won't have to worry about getting lost." Further explaining that as long as the Merry rode the current, no one will be able to catch us.
Nami's eyes sparkled as she realized she could direct the Merry to the current and the crew can return home without telling Luffy our true destination. Conis even offered to be our guide to the current.
Although Nami was happy about the idea, this made (Y/N) suspicious. She could even tell Robin sensed suspicious as well.
After Conis left to retrieve the others, Robin spoke up about her suspicions first. "I'm still a bit skeptical that this current will take us all the way home." Nami questioned Robin's words. "If what she says is true and this current really exist, wouldn't it stand to reason that we would hear more stories of people returning safely from Sky Island?" Nami tried to calm Robin's nerves saying that many people also find it difficult to find their way up to Skypiea, let alone leaving the place.
(Y/N) stayed with Robin while Nami and Chopper started to get Merry ready to sail. "I too feel uneasy about Conis' words. What shook me the most was her offering herself as a guide." (Y/N) leaned up against Merry's railing. "She is nice, yes, but to willingly help 2nd degree criminals escape from Heaven's Judgment? Sounds fishy to me." Robin just nodded in agreement.
About 10 minutes after Chopper raised the anchor, the Merry began to shake vigorously. Nami questioned what was happening as the Merry began to move backwards at high speeds. "This is exactly what I was worried about!" (Y/N) yelled as she grabbed onto Merry's railing tightly. Zoro questioned if we were stuck in that current Conis told us about. "The sails are not even down, moron! On top of that, I think we are going backwards?!" (Y/N) yelled as she looked down into the sea.
Zoro realized that we were being high jacked. He tried to get the rest of his crew mates to abandoned ship, but they all refused determined to defend Merry together. The swords man jumped down and attempted to cut the creature that was taking the ship away, but it's shell was tougher than iron. Only mere cracks were formed by the swordsman's blades.
Robin called out to Zoro, demanding he get back on board. She alarmed the swordsman that a school of vicious sky fish were following them, ready to attack at any moment meaning there is no was to jump ship and escape. "Even if we managed to beat the sky fish, I'm sure that more will arrive to take their place." Robin paused as she took in the scene around her, "Our punishment has already begun. There's no way to stop it."
"Heaven's Judgement." Zoro scoffed, "They must be taking us to the forbidden island." Nami looked devastated when she realized where exactly they were headed, the ginger cried out for her captain to save them as the five were carried away.
~One long, but fast voyage later~
"I can't believe that overgrown crustaceans just dropped us off in the middle of nowhere." Zoro said, obviously pissed at the situation. Nami stated that they are certainly somewhere in the middle of Upper Yard.
"Hm..." Robin pondered aloud, "This seemed to be some sort of alter for sacrifices."
"Alter?" Nami questioned.
"Wait, sacrifices?!" (Y/N)'s life looked like it drained out of her body in fear. Chopper questioned what sacrifices are, which brought the life back into (Y/N). "Never change, Chopper, never change." She cuddles the innocent reindeer who just looked at her confused.
Nami gave a vague explanation what sacrifices were to Chopper, through (Y/N)'s cuddles, he said that he thought sacrifices were like being boiled alive in a giant stew or something. "Actually that's about right." Robin spoke up, which spooked the deer. "But regardless of the method, the thing being offered is generally someone's life."
Chopper got so spooked by Robin's words as he pushed off (Y/N) screaming, "Are you trying to tell me we are going to die here?!" His sudden jolt caused him to slip out of (Y/N)'s arms and off the Merry. Down the alter's steps.
"Chopper!" (Y/N) and Nami yelled for him as (Y/N) attempted to catch him but missed by an inch. Just before he hit the bottom step, Robin caught him by using her devil fruit powers. But before they could sigh in relief, a sky shark emerged from the White White Sea to attack the poor deer. Zoro jumped down the alter to save Chopper from the shark as the deer quickly ran up the steps. Zoro now faced terrible odds in the sky's ocean, facing off against the man eating shark.
All anyone could do is watch as Zoro and the shark battled in the sea. Moments went without seeing the swordsman resurface. Chopper and Nami were beginning to worry that he could have gotten eaten. Robin pointed out if he got eaten, the clouds would have turned red by now. Nami angrily questioned Robin for being so calm in this situation.
(Y/N) starred anxiously for her comrade. "If he doesn't come up soon, I'm going in." She stated with a hint of nervousness as she prepared her sickles, but before the (h/c) haired woman could act the sky shark was punched out of the sea followed by her swordsman. "Thank you, Zoro." (Y/N) sighed in relief as she placed her sickles back on her hips.
Nami questioned why a swordsman would need to punch a shark instead of using his blade which just pissed Zoro off. "I'm just happy I didn't have to save his ass" (Y/N) scoffed.
"I didn't know you cared about me that much." Zoro sassed (Y/N) as he took off his shirt.
"Muscles..." (Y/N) mumbled her thought aloud as she watched the swordsman's figure. Robin question what (Y/N) said, which caused the (h/c) girl to blush profusely. "N-Nothing!" She covered her burning hot face." Chopper added insult to injury as he asked if she was feeling feverish since she was burning up while Zoro just looked at the scene confused as he rang out his shirt.
Chopper's attention quickly turned back to the sea. "There's an entire school of them!" He cried out. "What are we gonna do?!"
Robin and Zoro tried to discover a solution to the problem the five crew mates found themselves in. Thankfully, at least for (Y/N)'s sake, Nami went inside and grabbed a new shirt for Zoro. Zoro gave Chopper the job to try and figure out a way to fix the ship's hole.
The swordsman wished to venture into the forest to meet the god on the island, this caught (Y/N)'s attention, breaking her out of her flustered state. "I'm joining you." (Y/N) called out to the swordsman. Nami shot down the idea asking what they were planning to do if they even found him.
"I don't know," Zoro looked at (Y/N) with a devilish grin. "It depends if he behaves himself." (Y/N) returned the grin and the two mentally agreed on what will happen. Nami scolded the two on how foolish it was to piss off a god. Zoro just grinned up at Nami, "By the time I'm done with him, this god is going to bow before me."
Chopper cheered Zoro on while Nami and I just shook our heads at the swordsman for trying to act cool. Zoro went on to state that he doesn't believe in the god anyways, so he doesn't care if he pissed him off or not.
Not soon after, Zoro found a sturdy enough tree branch that had a large vine hanging from it. "Mind if I tag along?" Robin asked the male and female adventures. They agreed as long as she doesn't slow them down. Nami questioned Robin as to why she was going with them, which she started it was to do research on the history of the island. She pointed out the alter was created over one thousand years ago. "Imagine all the valuables we could discover? The possibilities are endless." Robin's eyes sparked a way (Y/N) never seen before.
(Y/N) was even more pumped to go after hearing the word "valuables". The (h/c) haired woman grabbed her bag and got ready to set off with Zoro and Robin. Nami also agreed to tag along. Chopper questioned the ginger since she was scared less than a moment ago. "It's for history!" Nami's eyes sparkled with berry signs, her true intentions radiating off her.
The four crew mates climbed the mass as Robin released the vine Zoro set eyes on earlier. Zoro caught it, before he jumped, he cleared his throat to scream "OOHOOO!!" as he swung from the alter to the forest.
"It's official, he lost his mind." Nami starred irritated at the man. Robin was second to go, to which she swung over with ease.
(Y/N) was third, "Now I definitely have to beat Zoro's war cry." (Y/N) giggled as she tightly grabbed the vine. "OOOHOOOO!" She screamed out just as crazy as Zoro.
Zoro caught her as she landed, laughing a bit as he put her down. "You didn't have to one up me like that." They shared a second laugh with Robin as the trio looked back up to Nami.
"Are you sure she's up for this?" (Y/N) questioned. "She looks terrified."
"Be careful!" Robin called out to the ginger. "If you fall, you'll most certainly die!" Nami questioned her helpful intentions. Soon enough the ginger came swinging down, but had to be stopped by Robin due to the intense speed. "Look at that, you're not gutless!" Robin teased.
"The poor girl went through enough trama from the jump, don't rub salt in the wound." (Y/N) was crying from laughter at Robin's comments. Nami was trying to catch her breath from shock as she thanked Robin for catching her.
"OOOHOOO! Is what you should have done." Zoro told the ginger. Nami snapped back saying that has nothing to do with jumping from that height. (Y/N) shrugged stating that it made her feel better.
The four left Chopper in charge of the ship and set out on their own adventure. "Are you sure it was wise to leave the poor little guy back there all alone?" (Y/N) questioned. Zoro brushed off her concerns saying Chopper can handle himself and not to worry. "If you say so." (Y/N) turned back and looked back at the Merry, worry still sat on her heart. 'Good luck, Chopper.' She thought as she hurried up to catch up with the group.
