Chapter 67 - 183, 184, 185, & 186
After skipping episode 183's opening, recap, and title, they could see that Nami has concluded with the fact that Luffy can defeat Enel.
"I mean, Luffy has to defeat the big bad in the end of every arc." Katsuki said with a shrug.
Enel leaped away from Luffy, confused with that he is.
Well, it's easy; he's Luffy, pirate and rubber man.
"I mean, it's that simple." Hizashi playfully shrugged.
Seeing that Enel has no clue what rubber is, Nami realized that the White-White Sea doesn't have it.
"Well, it looks like I was right." Ojiro said.
Luffy launched at Enel for another attack, but Enel used his Mantra to dodge all his moves.
"Damn it, he can still do that!" Kirishima cursed.
"See what I was telling you? Enel has more than just electricity." Aizawa reminded the, sighing.
His point was proven when Enel used his staff to hit Luffy in the crotch, sending him flying across the ship.
"Every. Single. Arc!" Mineta shouted in frustration.
"Well, it's more 'saga,' so it's not that bad." Izuku said, though he did winced at the action.
"Also, it's a more blunt attack, so it shouldn't really hurt Luffy." Momo observed.
"Doesn't change the fact that it still looks like it hurts." Sato winced.
Enel managed to hold Luffy against the wall, claiming he can fight accordingly, though Luffy claimed physical attacks won't work on him either, trying to take a swing at him, but Enel teleported away.
Luffy was frustrated that he can read his moves, though Enel didn't like the fact that physical moves nor lightning works on him. Then he remembered that Luffy's a 'Paramecia' after all, and most of them should keep their original form.
Immediately, Izuku wrote that down as the others wondered what Enel's going to do with that information.
"Grom... Puddling!" Enel's staff sparked, and Nami could see that it's been refined into a blade, a trident.
"Come on!" Denki shouted in frustration at that.
Luffy jumped onto the ship's roof, dodging Enel's stab, but it gave Enel the hint that slashing attacks is his Achilles heel, which Luffy admitted to.
Katsuki facepalmed. "Can you keep anything a secret?"
Luffy jumped down for an attack, but Enel disappeared, using the gold to move through.
"Seriously, what can't he do?!" Denki continued to shout. "I feel like that would be a shorter list."
"We can add 'feel sympathy' to the list." Jiro said.
Popping out of the gold, it looked like Enel had stabbed Luffy, but instead of beads of blood falling to the ground, it was beads of gold as the rubber man grabbed onto the staff.
The students winced as Luffy was burnt by the heat made by electricity through the trident.
"What did I say before?" Aizawa said.
"We get it." Hizashi sighed.
Still, Luffy managed to stomp Enel all the way to the ground, though when he unleashed his storm of punches, Enel was able to grab his hands, sending him crashing into the floorboards.
"Alright, this is not the beatdown I was expecting." Mina frowned.
Enel had to comment how this was a bad time for them to be sightseeing on a sky island. He's God, so he'll do everything as he pleases, and create a world according to his desires. He's not letting a 'clueless Blue Sea brat' get in his way.
He steps to a throne where his hands went over the two golden orbs. "Max 200 Million Volt Vaari!"
"T-That's his limi?" Denki paled, watching how Enel's electricity powered the ship, causing it to lift off the ground.
As it risen, Nami hoped Luffy could beat Enel, though that sent her a panicked spiral about staying alive. Just as she asked Luffy what to do, Luffy tossed her his straw hat, telling her to not to get so rattled. She's a friend of the future King of the Pirates, so she can't make such a pitiful face.
"So manly..." Kirishima admired.
"Yeah, he trusts you with his hat," Mina mused. "So this means business."
Enel asked what land does the Pirate King govern. To Luffy, it means the great king of the seas. Enel was rather impressed, and after the eyecatches, the Maxim can be seen flying through the foresting, getting stuck on the vearth.
"Is it too heavy to lift off?" Shoji wondered.
"So not even 200 million is enough." Denki said, feeling slightly better.
Aisa didn't want Pierre to interfere for Luffy is a warrior of the Blue Sea, and they can't interfere in a warriors' duel.
On Angel Island, the citizens ran, feeling the sky island might fall, with the White Berets guiding them out. Mc Kinley hoped to get out as many people as they could, but soon notice one man sitting down.
With tears in his eyes, the man has claimed he've always believe in God, and maybe he should accept his death.
"What?!" "No!" "Don't do that!" Panic risen from the students at that.
McKinley told him that Enel doesn't have the right to take people's lives. They have to live.
The man's grandson was able to find him. Soon, some Skypieans had told McKinley that they're heading tot he Shandians' village to warn them and escape together as they're people like them.
"Thank goodness they remembered." Momo let out a sigh of relief.
"And at the last moment." Jiro said.
"What matters is that they remembered." Shoji said.
On the ark, Enel claimed that the ark's ultimate feature is open and functioning. Its name is Deathpiea; despair, the savior of this world.
"If it wasn't for whatever it is, it would had been a rocking band name." Jiro commented on.
"Whatever it is, it doesn't have a pleasant title." Tokoyami said.
Enel ordered Deathpiea to activate, and a dark plume of clouds covered the sky.
Robin was able to wake up in time to see the clouds just as the Shandians had noticed the phenomena, worried for their warriors, and soon, the Skypieans can see the dark clouds coming, believing it to be the end of the world.
It's a thundercloud. Deathpiea can discharge thunderclouds that have extremely turbulent currents.
"No...!" They immediately understood his plans as Enel continues to explain.
Enel demonstrated with a small zap of his power, which allowed the thundercloud to shoot out a line of lightning's destruction.
"It was even over the island." Denki gulped, guessing the range on that thundercloud.
As Conis traveled her way to them, Enel laughed at his little 'tease' on the angels, but Luffy was furious that he would want to toy with their lives and their land.
Enel tried to take a stab at him, and Luffy was able to dodge and attack him, but the touch of the staff still burned him.
Luffy wants a way to counter Enel's Mantra when he remembered how Enel missed when he was blowing on his hands, so...
"Gomu Gomu no... Bah..."
There was either laughter (with Jiro being the loudest), or just plain dumbfounded looks at the fact that Luffy was able to dodge Enel's Mantra because of it.
Nami explained that Luffy is he's like grass swaying with the wind; since Luffy isn't thinking, Enel can't predict him.
"Would you look at that? Even Straw Hat's 'Jamming Whey' is better than your's." Katsuki joked.
That didn't stop Denki to cry out, pointing accusatory at the rubber man, "Luffy, how dare you!"
"I'm pretty sure there's a difference between letting your mind go and frying it." Izuku reasoned.
"It's the principal of the matter here!"
Luffy had to stop since he couldn't attack Enel as an airhead.
"At least there's a downside to it." Sero shrugged.
"It's still more than my 'Jamming Whey.'" Denki frowned, slumping in his seat.
"I thought you didn't like that name." Shoji said.
Aizawa sighed. "You shouldn't compare your abilities to a fictional character's. I doubt a rubber person in our world can do the same thing as Luffy could."
Soon, Luffy thought up another move, which involves taking in a deep breath to inflate his head to a ridiculous size. "Gomu Gomu no... Tako!"
Nami screamed in horror as Luffy's limbs went limp.
As the students laughed, Toshinori had to say, "Or maybe it's because they haven't thought of it like Luffy did."
Enel mocked Luffy for trying to figure out a way over his Mantra, but once more, Luffy thought of something.
"Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy jumped towards the throne as Enel chased after him. "...Tako..." Luffy turned his attention on the ship. "...Hanabi!" Punching the wall, Luffy's limbs ricochetted off the surface.
Enel thought he was trying to destroy the ship, but as he gotten closer, he was attacked by the storm of punches. Nami realized that because Luffy can't control the ricochet of his punches.
"That means Enel can't predict where they hit!" Momo's eyes grew wide, grinning, as the others were in awe at Luffy's quick thinking.
Luffy was able to Bazooka Enel in the gut, making him spill blood and fall to the ground.
The students cheered for the victory, hoping that Enel's reign will end soon.
Enel knew he has to escape with Luffy after him, seeing Luffy's corkscrew on him.
"To Be Continued."
"I feel like there should be more to this." Tokoyami commented on.
"Don't jinx it!" Toru warned.
"I'm just saying it feels a little too short."
"Yeah, it should be way more grander." Katsuki agreed.
"Look, we just need to beat Enel; Luffy's beating Enel right not." Sero stressed out.
"Well, Straw Hat usually ends the battle with something big, like taking down that tower in Arlong Park, or punching that Croc from the underground to the buildings above."
"He is right." Kirishima admitted.
"Maybe he'll do that in the next episode." Jiro rolled her eyes.
After skipping episode 184's opening, recap, and title, they could see the aftermath of Luffy's Rifle attack, but the Ark was still running, flying higher, much to Aisa and Pierre;s shock and worry.
"That can't be it." Katsuki complained.
Nami believed Luffy has defeated Enel, but the ship is still moving. Suddenly, Enel was able to get up, blood dripping from him.
"Knew it." Katsuki let out a disappointed groan,
Now, Enel is determined to kill them off, and to have others fear, worship, revere him. It'll be his world! He is the Almighty God!
"Yeah, yeah, we've heard you the first billion times before." Hizashi rolled his eyes.
The citizens of Angel Island ran, horrified by the flying ship, and the darkness it created. The Shandians saw their ships leaving, confused by the chaos til they were worried by the Skypieans.
The flying ship was also seen by Robin as Enel took glee in the island's despair, and it'll include Luffy.
The rubber man jumped into action, seeing Enel's hand spark-
"But it won't work on Luffy." Denki said confused.
-but it was already too late. The gold wall melted just as Luffy accidentally sunk his fist into the orb.
"Oh, that's how." Denki winced with the other students, seeing Luffy's arm had been burned by the metal, trapping his arm in it.
Enel got tired of the fighting, so he decided to have them depart, rolling Luffy right off the ship, though Luffy hanged on the railing at the last moment.
"Did you really think that'll stop him?" Kirishima tried to be smug, but Luffy's struggle on the gold's weight made him rethink that statement.
Enel took the time to gloat, but Luffy knows that in the Blue Sea, there are tons of monstrous fighters. Enel decided to end this already, using the staff to destroy the railing, causing the rubber man to fall.
There were gasps at that, shocked that Luffy wasn't able to defeat Enel this round.
Nami noticed Aisa and Pierre, which got Enel's attention. In turn, 'God' sent down his judgement upon the two.
"No!" Eyes grew wide, desperately hoping Aisa and Pierre are alright.
Nami was horrified as Enel had to admit that the rubber thing was annoying.
That being said, on the Going Merry, Sanji thought he was having a wonderful dream about Nami, only to be horrified to realize that he's holding Usopp's hand.
Mina rolled her eyes. "What? Hand holding's too much for you?"
Then he wondered about Nami's whereabouts, noticing the flying ship... which in turn was carrying Nami.
"It's like Hatsune's quirk... but it only works on women." Izuku commented on.
"It's still useful!" Mineta tried to defend the chef.
Sanji practically stomped Usopp awake, and had him get ready to rescue Nami. Usopp remembered what happened, attempting to hide away, horrified by the flying ship. Sanji was just glad Nami wasn't wearing her T-shirt.
"Priorities; do you have them?" Jiro groaned.
Usopp didn't understood the situation, wondering what happened to the others, but Sanji didn't care, running into the forest, following the flying ship. Usopp followed after him since he does have the rope belt thing.
"I mean, they have to save Nami." Sato shrugged toward Jiro.
On the flying ship, Enel confidently sat on his throne, reminding himself to get the golden bell. Then he noticed Nami, asking if she has a future wish.
That wish... she does have one, but if she stays with Enel, it'll be the same as being alone. She doesn't want anything!
"Oh Nami..." Ochako smiled at her words, glad that the navigator has the confident to do so... until Enel could see that it included her life.
"He had to be a sadist," Mineta shivered.
Conis had discovered Sanji and Usopp has abandoned the Going Merry, worried for the two. Through Suu, Conis understood the story and that they're after the ship despite their injuries.
"And those two are the masochists." Denki sighed.
Usoo really doesn't want to do this, nut Sanji had absolutely confidence in this. The sniper shot out the hook and rope, allowing the cook to kick it at the flying ship.
"...That can't work." Aizawa deadpanned.
"I'm sure Sanji would force it work if he could." Toshinori said.
Enel believed that Nami's fate should be in the afterlife if she really thought so, but Sanji and Usopp were climbing up the ship to her rescue.
"At least they have the dedication." Hizashi mused.
Nami wants to survive for everyone, hiding her takts behind her back.
"To Be Continued."
"She's so dead." Katsuki sighed.
"Can you stop being like that?" MIna complained.
Onto episode 185, they skipped the opening, recap, and title to see that Enel plans to take Nami to the afterlife while Nami knows she has to do some thing. Enel mocked that she can't get off the ship safely, or maybe she'll trust the two 'rats,' letting Nami know about Sanji and Usopp.
As for those two, Usopp wants to get off the ship, but there's no way Sanji would turn away at this point, climbing higher, especially since the Mantra users probably has already sensed them.
"I mean, it's one Mantra user." Ochako shrugged.
"But it's Enel." Iida said.
"I know, but it's one."
Once they gotten up, Sanji planned for them to split up and head for the deck, much to Usopp's chagrin. Sanji reminded him that they have to or else they'll both go down, surprising Usopp with his serious nature. Usopp thought he was going to sacrifice himself for Nami...
"I mean, I'm not surprised." Jiro sighed.
With his hand on Usopp's shoulders, Sanji admitted, "If it's for Nami-san's sake, I don't care if you die."
There were laughter, eye rolls, and gawks at that, especially with how quick Sanji was to throw himself at danger.
Meanwhile, Enel approached Nami, thinking how ridiculous that Sanji and Usopp would try to rescue her, though Nami's more shock that they could move and get onboard.
"You can't defeat Sanji's burning love!" Mina over dramatically exclaim.
Nami managed to dodge Enel's attack. With her closer to the railing, she thought about jumping off.
"But you can't survive from that height." Momo worried for Nami, especially seeing that Sanji and Usopp was practically lost within the ship's interworking.
All the while, Robin's feet carried Wyper and Zoro.
"That's... kind of funny imagery. Not going to lie." Hizashi snickered.
Robin can only guess Enel's next motions in his plan as the Skypieans tried to leave, terrified of Enel's flying ship.
The chief of the Shandians told them to escape, though the people are worried about the warriors.
"I'm sorry, but it's either to wait for them and have your bloodline be erased from history, or escape the giant deathtrap." Katsuki stressed out.
The chief reassured that they don't need to wait as the warriors aren't children. He's sure Enel will repeat his actions from Brika, so they must set sail!
"Glad someone's head is in the clear." Ojiro sighed.
Conis could only hope for the Straw Hats' safety, though Aisa cried for Pierre and how he saved her til she heard Luffy, seeing his head got stuck in the ground.
After getting him out, Luffy lifted the ball, knowing he can't get it off.
"Phrasing." Mineta said.
Luffy aimed to go after the giant stalk, and after the eyecatches, Nami used one of the takts to repel Enel's lightning.
"That's really cool!" Denki tried to give Nami some confidence.
"But how long can she last?" Sato gulped.
Enel was impressed to see that she's well acquainted with the weather phenomena, but Nami knows she won't last.
Enel released a large lightning attack, one she can't escape, but an explosion had stop him.
"Usopp!" "Yes!" "You saved her!" The students were glad to see him...
"It's not like he'll do much." Katsuki rolled his eyes.
...most of them are.
Enel recognized him, as Usopp slowly unshielded himself, realizing Sanji isn't around. With that at the face of Enel...
He left. "Bye."
Surprised laughter came out at that, but Kirishima was disappointed in him. "What about being the brave warrior of the sea?"
"I mean, they're in the sky." Shoji joked.
"Do you really expect him to face off with Enel?" Aoyama sighed.
Behind the door, Usopp nervously shook and sweated, reminding himself to not run away.
"Yes!" Kirishima cheered as Usopp bursted through the door... only to be nearly hit by Enel's lightning attack.
Even though some of the students continued to laugh, Izuku said, "You have to admit that it's quite impressive he could dodge lightning at all."
Now that Usopp managed to dodge all the way to Nami's side, he has to ask her one thing: "Save me."
"Screw that!"
The laughter continued on from Nami shaking him to the admittance of their doomed situation to dodging Enel's attack together.
"Is it just me? Or it this the funniest arc so far?" Toshinori grinned just a bit, even if this is a dire situation for the two.
Seeing Luffy's hat, Usopp could see that they can't always count on Luffy's help.
With another dodge, Usopp managed to get to the discharge tube, hoping it would stop Enel from doing big attacks, but Nami noticed the waver, thinking it would be best to jump off with that, especially with the Island Cloud area in the center of the forest.
"Good, they can survive this." Toru let out a sigh of relief.
Usopp dodged Enel's attack again. This time, the performance was surprisingly graceful... all except for the landing.
There was a pained "ooo..." at that, with hints of laughter here and there.
"And you didn't stick the landing." Hizashi said.
"It's always the landing." Toshinori sighed, shaking his head.
Usopp decided to distract 'God,' so Nami ran while Usopp climb up the tube, unleashing his spell.
"A needle got stuck deep under my fingernail!"
Nami and most of the class shivered at the description, cringing and wincing.
"Oh God, the spell's real!" Toru cried out.
Usopp ordered her to cover her ears or else it'll kill you, like a piece of paper that sliced across your knuckles.
"Those are some of the worst." Mina gulped, wringing her hands.
"Seriously?" katsuki deadpanned.
None of Usopp's 'spells' worked on Enel, who simply had to smack him.
Nami was able to get the waver, traveling her way to Usopp, who took Enel's blows. She saw the Island Clouds by the vine, but Usopp was already zapped to a crisp by Enel.
"No!" "Usopp!" "Sanji, where are you?!"
"Enel approached Nami, threatening her to 'play tag,' but she managed to speed pass him, reaching out for Usopp. Yet, at the last second, Enel simply pushed Usopp's hand aside before he could, a huge ball of electricity behind him.
"Shit!" "No!"
"Are we going to do this every time?" Katsuki sighed, looking at his classmates.
Out of nowhere, Sanji kicked Usopp right into Nami, taking on the attack for him.
"SANJI!?" "NO!" The students looked on in horror, seeing how powerful that beam was.
Nami and Usopp managed to jump off as Enel mocked them for doing so. Still, he could see Sanji standing there, who thanked him for the light, smoking cigarette in his hand. Right before he passed out, Sanji told him he will pay for this.
"Holy shit, he's still alive." Jiro breathed out.
"Just how?" Denki was flabbergasted, certain that the blast should had killed him.
"If he can take that on, then-" Katsuki suddenly cut himself off with a frustrated groan, realizing what this could mean.
Suddenly, the flying ship shook, dark clouds no longer coming out. Enel realized that Sanji has done something to the ship as "To Be Continued" appeared, sparked with electricity.
"Sanji, you mad man, what did you do?" Kirishima grinned.
"He must had done something to the ship." Shoji said.
"Well, you don't have to be an engineer to ruin machinery." Tokoyami mused.
Moving onto episode 186, the class had skipped the opening, recap, and title to see that Enel has to fix the ship now, giving Usopp clearance when he climbed back up for Sanji. He made sure to reassure that Nami has landed safely on the Island Clouds.
"And you came back for him! What a man." Mina admired, causing Katsuki to roll his eyes.
Usopp hoped they'd land on the Island Clouds, but when he jumped... he realized too late that he jumped too far, right above the forest.
At the last second, just before his nose touched the leaves, Usopp also realized he forgot to unhook, and all that struggling caused the hook to unhook and land them right on the Island Clouds.
"...At least he's alright." Aoyama shrugged.
Nami came to them, happy to see that they're alright, though Nami had to pull Usopp out of the clouds.
All the while, Enel was frustrated with Sanji and what he'd done to his ship, but he won't be taken down since the ship is also equipped with 200 Jet Dials he'd gathered from his homeland of Birka.
There was a collective groan at that.
"Of course it wouldn't be that easy." Ochako sighed.
Nami turned their attention towards the Giant Jack, saying that it could be the same one in the ruins. Usopp asked if the city of gold is there; it is, but Enel took it all.
Anyway, Zoro and the others should be down below, though there's no longer any safe place in Skypiea. All the while, Luffy dragged the golden ball with Aisa dragging around Pierre, though all that caused was Luffy being rolled around by the golden ball into the wrong direction, not being able to turn and destroying buildings in his path.
"What did we expect?" Todoroki sighed, shaking his head.
Enel was glad that his ship was still able to spew out dark clouds, but a little annoyed by the so-called 'rats.'
As for Luffy and Aisa, they've discovered the holes, but the others aren't there. Aisa assumed they've gone up, but she stared at the abyss before her, remembering Robin's warning. With tears in her eyes, she asked Luffy if the sky islands are going to disappears.
There were sad "aw..."s at that.
After the eyecatches, instead of answering, Luffy carried both Pierre and Aisa up the Giant Jack, running up the stalk.
"Oh yeah!" Kirishima yelled.
Robin hoped the others are okay, just in time for Luffy to break through the clouds layer and throw Aisa and Pierre to Robin.
"Luffy you should had given then to Robin more safely!" Iida scolded.
"But it's so Luffy." Kirishima said.
Robin, freaking Aisa out, was able to catch the two with her blooming limbs, though the golden ball had dragged Luffy down. Though Robin was surprised by the golden ball, Luffy asked about the golden bell, saying that it's on top of the vine and Enel's after it.
Izuku blushed to himself, remembering how he thought the golden bell is in the middle of the Giant Jack somehow.
Robin claimed it might be, and that's all Luffy needed to climb up the vine.
Soon, Robin asked Aisa about their navigator. Aisa thought she was on the flying ship when she realized she could only hear one voice coming from the sky.
That was when Nami, Usopp, and Sanji have arrived on the scene, noticing the others' state. Nami asked about Luffy, and Aisa claimed he went up the vine to rescue her from Enel.
"That's really bad timing." Toshinori slightly winced.
Usopp really want to escape, and Nami allowed them to go ahead, she's going after Luffy with the waver.
"That's so brave of you, Nami." Ochako slightly gasped.
Luffy ran after Enel's ship while the Skypieans and Shandians were trying to escape.
The Chief noticed a woman stood there, waiting for Aisa. The Chief knows that she's a bright child, hoping she's with some warriors.
"I mean... technically..." Sato awkwardly stretched it out.
"She's with them, just not defended by them." Denki added as an answer.
On Angel Island, the White Berets were still evacuating the people, though one of the soldiers discovered the people, though one of the soldiers discovered that they can't make it through this without the ships in the dock. McKinley decided to go the long way, ordering his men to create rivers inside the inside at once. He could remember Conis's bravery, and hearing that half of the islands are left, he decided that no baggage are allow, so they have to get all of them.
The future heroes gulped, seeing the amount of ships, then groaned when they saw Amazon snapping pictures of the islanders, saying that they need to pay a fee.
"Sorry, but everyone's going to die if they don't hurry out of there!" Denki yelled at her.
A man told her she needed to escape too, much to her confusion.
"I guess she wasn't told of Enel's plans." Izuku said.
"Welp, she's going to die." Katsuki sighed.
"Unless, Luffy stops him first." Kirishima hoped.
On the Going Merry, Conis noticed the wind had stopped, and soon, lightning has struck a tree into flames.
"Oh, shit, it's starting." Denki paled, seeing lightning strike down the island, growing bigger and bigger.
The Chief prayed to the statue of the Great Warrior Calgara to protect everyone.
A large lightning bot has struck before the Straw Hats, a powerful enough blow to sent them flying, but despite that, Nami's still after Luffy, leaving the others to the Going Merry.
Soon, Zoro, Gan, and Wyper woke up.
Helpless, the students could only hope for the best, even as Enel watched the island be consumed by lightning. At least Luffy's there.
"To Be Continued."
"Well, shit, what's going to happen next?" Jiro said.
Chapter 68 - Episode 187, 188, & 189
Skipping episode 187's opening and recap, the class could see that Enel has purposefully wanted to find the Shandians' village, striking it down with glee including the statue.
"Bastard!" Jiro cried out, as everyone was disgusted with Enel's glee of destroying a civilization's home.
As Aisa tried to drag him away, Wyper stated at the destruction before him, remembering Calgara's greatest regret of all.
The Great Warrior Calgara has a very close friend 400 years ago.
"What's his name?!" Toru demanded as they skipped the title.
"...I think I can take a guess." Izuku said.
"It's a pretty obvious one." Katsuki sighed.
This tale was never written down, but it was told to one generation to the next.
"It is a true story of a warrior known as a monster, and an adventurer known as a liar."
"Noland!" Ochako suddenly shouted. The description made them remember the whole reason why the Straw Hats are even up there, though 'warrior known as a monster' had surprised them.
Is he referring to Calgara? Todoroki thought.
People ran away from the 'Monster of Shandora,' sailing away, but that didn't stop the giant iron ball to slam into their ship.
A man came in, killing the men and setting their ship in fire.
"Is... Is that Calgara?" Kirishima was flabbergasted to say so, surprised how monstrous this man is... was?
Seamen were lost at sea, shocked that their chef fainted with no food left. Their commodore fell into the ocean, maybe to drown himself, but he's a hero who's return twice from these water, he carefully folded his cloths and shoes.
"Maybe he's trying to grab some fish." Denki playfully suggested.
"With his bare hands? In the Grand Line?" Ojiro said in confusion.
Then the commodore came up, giving the rope to pull on, revealing a Seaking for them to eat.
"Wait, is that Noland?" Momo said, shocking everyone.
"I mean, that hair is pretty recognizable." Hizashi said, but then again, they didn't expect him to be so buff looking compared to his storybook counterpart.
Caught in a store, Noland recorded his third voyage, but he heard something beautiful, like a bell.
"You can hear that over the storm?" Jiro said, impressed.
On the island, the priest had called the land cursed, and the Shandians will be wiped out. To save the village, they must offer a girl at the sacrificial altar.
"Oh... They've also used it as a sacrificial altar." Ochako slightly winced.
"What else did you think they've used it for?" Katsuki snarked.
"I don't know! Weddings? Celebration?"
Over a hundred people had died to this 'curse,' and the girl didn't mind to sacrifice her life, though she didn't understood why her mother would cry. She's about to be welcomed by the sun god, and it's wonderful to be sacrifice.
A chill went through the class, seeing the ancient Shandians like this, seeing how desperate they are and yet so nonchalant for some of them.
A boy, Seto, wished for all of this to be a bad dream. Face to face with Calgara, he told him of wishing to be like him someday; a brave warrior and to protect this land. He doesn't want to die like this.
Their hearts ached at the same time, seeing how this 'curse' has been affect their lives.
The Commodore and his crew came across the island, though Noland is shocked that they didn't hear any bells.
They approached the forest in hopes to find good research material, laughing at the sounds an odd bird had made, but soon, a bell had rung.
"Whoa, that sounds pretty." Toru admired.
"Quite foreboding." Tokoyami added.
By that, that must mean people are here. Despite his crew's protest, Noland walked into the forest to discover Sero on the ground.
Seto tried to run away, but was pinned down and examined.
He has the Kinetsu plague with no treatment, but Noland hoped they still have Conine.
"Thank goodness, they're going to be alright." Mina sighed.
On that rainy day, the crew could see the village's crops were eaten away with houses filled with the sick.
After the eyecatches, drums played and fired flared as Mousse was brought to the altar. From the waters, a shadow slithered til it popped up to reveal to be a giant snake, one they called the Kashi God.
"How old is that snake?" Kirishima said in shock.
"Maybe 20-30 years for adult snakes." Koda answered.
"I doubt that would be the same for a snake this giant." Sato said.
"Maybe this is the giant snake's ancestor." Todoroki suggested.
The giant snake approached Mousse as people had to hold her mother back, who was crying. They have to remind her it's for the village.
A coil of disgust curled within the audience's stomaches at this. Some of them turned away, hearing how hopeful these villagers are for this to work despite it's barbaric means.
...But someone dived into the water just as the Kashi God opened its jaws.
Noland ran up the stairs, and with one swing of his sword, the snake's head was sliced off.
Koda's horrified gasp almost matched the Shandians,' though others felt some relief at this as Todoroki concluded, "Ancestor then,"
"Wait, how the hell Chestnut Head was able to slice the snake's head off, but not Marimo or Ponytail?!" Katsuki exclaimed. "Marimo can literally cut steel now!"
"Maybe it's descendants evolved to have stronger scales within the 400 years." Iida theorized.
Noland freed Mousse, trying his best to comfort her as the Shandians thought they're going to be cursed now. In fact, they should give more lives to the gods.
"Jesus, no!" Toru shouted.
"Your so-called god was killed." Jiro argued.
"I feel like it would be difficult to comprehend when you believed in something for so long." Momo said.
His crew were worried for him, just as Calgara was sent to kill Noland. The two clashed, both in weapons and ideals, shocking the people with how Noland was able to hold against Calgara.
Calgara threw a knife at Mousse, so she could take her own life.
"Whoa!" "No!" The students stared, horrified as the girl held a knife to her throat.
Noland slapped it out of her hand, but this allowed Calgara to stop him. He was able to see his crew was held up at knife point.
Calgara had told him of his people's commandment to punish all intruders, especially for this god-killer.
Noland asked if sacrifices will truly make their gods happy. For him, these ceremonies are flat-out denials of the triumphs of all great men before them, and he won't stand for it; an insult to the adventures and researchers out there. If their gods truly value people's lives, then they would have contempt for these ceremonies.
Students nod along to what he's saying.
"It does make sense, though there are malicious gods in the world." Tokoyami said.
"But there has to gods who don't want them to throw away their lives like that." Momo said.
He asked for time so he could banish their 'curse.' If he can't, then they can do whatever they want.
The people argued, but Noland added on that they can't do these ceremonies anymore if he is able to save the village.
Calgara just wants to kill him right now, but the chief of their village stopped him, allowing the crew to live until tomorrow evening.
"He can make a cure that fast?" Sato said.
"Well, they'd mentioned it's a known plague, so they could make the medicine in time." Iida said.
Noland's crew were trapped in a cage, with Mousse in her own. She asked for who their commodore is, and the men answered with 'Montblanc Noland,' reowned explorer and a botanist, a hero back home.
"They have so much trust in him." Kirishima admired.
"So much so that I don't think he could be a liar." Ojiro said.
"I doubt that was true to begin with, considering the fact that Noland was right about the city of gold." Todoroki said.
With the villagers, they couldn't believe that he let Noland live, but he knows the answer will come tomorrow. When the villagers tried to have Calgara do something, he decided that if he sense the slightest hint of danger, he'll take the man's head.
"And they're suppose to be friends in the future?" MIna commented on.
"Sometimes, friendships can have... bizarre starts." Izuku can't help but to say.
For the chief, he believes Noland is earnest in his words.
Calgara let out a short laugh at that, leaving the building, but he soon noticed Seto... and he's all better.
Seto had to ask what 'advancement' means.
"Look, Noland can do something about the plague." Ochako wanted to make sure the man knows of this, that Noland can truly help his village.
In the forest, Noland had found a Cona tree, but soon, an earthquake shook the village, making the Shandians believe it's the Kashi God's curse.
Cracks neared the cage as Calgara ran into the forest, where the forest floor has sunk and Noland was found stuck between the cracks.
"Noland!" "No!"
Students glared once they heard Calgara laughed at his situation, saying that the gods had given him a crushing blow.
"He was just trying to do something that didn't involved killing your people!" Jiro argued back.
Still, Noland smiled, saying that his gods aren't that great since they don't have the strength to kill a single person. Calgara could see he's stubborn, and Noland just wants to hurry to the village.
Calgara just wants to see him squirm as "To Be Continued" appears.
"Geez, Calgara was an ass." Toru said.
"I think that's putting it lightly." Ojiro said.
"But there has to be a reason why they've became friends." Kirishima hoped to see that very reason.
Onto episode 188. where they skipped the opening to see the Shandians had a warrior perish, and adding the earthquake onto the list, they blamed the crew as evil spirits, wanting to deal with them now.
"Hey, hey, you guys had an agreement!" Mina argued.
Before the Shandians could stab them with spears, Seto sat in their way, saying that the warriors should have more pride that this.
"Well, at least someone's on their side." Todoroki sighed as they skipped the title.
The sun begin to rise as Calgara had told Noland that once the sun sinks again, Noland and his man will be offered to the gods.
"And you watched him this whole time, doing nothing?" Ochako said in disgust.
"I guess, he has too much pride for his Gods to do anything else." Aizawa sighed.
"But his people will die sooner if they don't get a cure soon." Iida said.
"And I doubt a lot of religious people were like this." Katsuki added as an annoyed murmured.
"I mean, it's pretty much a stereotype more for indigenous people, and it's one I definitely don't condone, but it truly shows the desperation the Shandians have." Momo said.
"i guess there has to be a reason why there were people who sacrificed others before." Denki said, trying to figure all of this out.
"Maybe someone had died in a time of need and desperation, and their land begun to prosper after that." Toshinori guessed.
"This is all a guess though." Hizashi made sure to point out. "It's not like we're the best people about religion and gods and all that."
"I'm not sure if we're allowed to." Aizawa said.
Noland struggled to get out as Calgara laughed. Still, it didn't stop Noland from his efforts, which Calgara noticed.
As the sun begins to set, the village wanted to prepare for the sacrifices as Calgara continued to mock Noland, but Noland has to ask him what he's afraid of. He called out how he trembles before intangible fears and give up people's lives for false consolation as their their sacrifices are just pointless deaths.
"So unmanly! Kicking a man while he's down, while he's dying." Kirishima scolded.
To Calgara, this is how they've lived for centuries, but to Noland, the people's lives are precious.
As the Shandians were going to sent Mousse and the crew to be set on fire, Noland pointed out the innocent girl in all this, though he doubts that Calgara would have any qualms about it. He's less than human for doing so.
But... that girl... was his daughter.
Students gasped at that.
"You just told your daughter to kill herself yesterday." Ochako choked out in disgust, which Noland pointed out the same.
Calgara believes that Noland doesn't realize how much power there is from the gods, and his village is commanded to obey and can't beg for their children's lives.
"And you don't see anything wrong with that?" Katsuki said.
Soon, they noticed the Kashi God's child, only a size smaller than its parent.
"You could tell?" Denki said.
Calgara assumed that the gods' blood has come to pass judgement on Noland, but even with the giant snake in his face, Noland had told him how sixty years ago, his own land had lost hundreds of thousands of lives to the Kinetsu plague, but nowadays, it can be cured and he can extract the cure from the Conine bark he holds. He can save the village if he returns with it.
"Come on, you can do the right thing here." Kirishima hoped, though Calgara hesitated as Noland claimed his people are trampling over this great advancement, and that's why those 'ceremonies' are an insult.
Just as the snake lunged, Noland had to ask if he'll die in judgment, or in an accident. Will his village die by curse, or by disease? Is he that afraid of gods?
Some of the students gasped, looking away just as the giant snake reached for him.
Just as the chief trusted Noland for his earnest words, Calgara took out his so-called god. He had to ask Noland, "What did I just kill?!"
The whole class held their breath, though Kirishima waited more on baited breath for the result.
To Noland, it was just a snake, but to Calgara, he broke his village's commandments and killed a god. It's just that Noland calls it differently.
Tears fell from his eyes as Calgara asked if he can really save his beloved village.
Noland can.
There were a couple of teary eyes as this, seeing this as a moment Calgara finally trusted Noland, but Kirishima let out a small, excited squeal, seeing this as a beautiful, manly friendship. "He killed a god just for him, just for Noland."
That night, Noland and his crew worked hard to save the village, as Calgara cried with his daughter. All around them, they partied as Noland rested with a smile.
There was a sigh of relief all around, seeing that, for now, everyone has been saved.
In the morning, they've discovered an average size snake, and Noland and Calgara realized it must be the grandchild of the snake.
"...Is that the snake we saw in the present day?" Todoroki asked.
"What do they eat to get that big?" Denki wondered.
The others thought the two made no sense, especially since they tried to kill each other before, but now, they're friends. Hell, Calgara was never very friendly with any of the other villagers either, nor have they seen him smile like that before.
The class smiled at that, especially Kirishima, who had the biggest smile there, though Aizawa was certain that Hizashi's was much more fonder looking.
Calgara was about to show Noland and his crew something when they heard the ringing of a bell, and that ringing came from... a city of gold.
"It's real!" Ochako's eyes gleamed brightly. "And it's actually made of gold!"
A sense of amazement washed over them, finally seeing Shandora in its golden glory.
After the eyecatches, the crew were amazed by this, and Calgara allowed them to take as much treasure as they want, aside from the golden bell.
"Holy shit, free treasure!" Sero can't help but to shout.
"Calgara, you're the best!" Ochako nearly cried at his generosity.
Noland asked if it's really okay to do so, and Calgara thought it was fine since they did saved their tribe from that terrible disease.
Noalnd asked if they're protecting the city, which they are, though not necessarily its treasure; more specifically, this stone, a "Poneglyph." Though it's something they can't read.
"It's there. It's real." Tokoyami felt hopeful for Robin's goal.
"But then, it must be even older than the Shandians if they can't read it." Iida said.
Calgara explained that his ancestors didn't write it, but what they do know is that Shandora fought and fell trying to protect this stone, and as their descendants, it's their duty to protect the proof that their ancestors fought and survived, revering them as if they were gods.
"Is that why they care so much about up holding that 'tradition?'" Jiro wondered.
"And what's on this 'Poneglyph' that makes it so important?" Shoji wondered as well.
Noland can't believe that it came from this bell.
Hey, don't that pattern look like a bunch of monkeys wearing straw hats." Denki pointed out.
"Really? I don't see it." Sero tried to squint his eyes.
Calgara claimed that the bell's ringings has words to it, so that the spirits of their ancestors who were greeted by the heavens can return to this land at anytime without getting lost, and to ring this bell is a way to say, "We are here!"
"It's sad to think that, in the present day, no one has rung that bell." Momo frowned.
It sounds the glory Shandora once had and show its existence to the ends of the sea, that they can't run or hide. That's why the bell is called 'fire of Shandora.'
Noland thought that's why it has such a majestic sound. In fact, that flame helped him come here, even in that storm.
"It was like it was meant to be." Kirishima gleamed.
Noland asked the snake if it liked the sound too, wondering if it'll grow up the same size as the giant snake someday.
"If it's the same snake in the present day, then yes." Iida said, while the little snake seemed to be saying yes.
"Wait, do you think that the snake was looking for the bell too?" Izuku wondered, remembering the snake's tears from before.
Seeing how friendly the three are, the class can't help but to think it might be possible.
Calgara welcomed to stay here as long as they like; they are the first guests here in the 400 years since Shandora fell. For Noland, he would like that, to collect plants from the forest, and to see the plague all the way.
"400 years since Shandora fell?" Momo repeated. "That would had been 800 years in the present day."
"How long ago was the Void Century Robin talked about?" Todoroki asked.
"Did she mentioned it?" Izuku looked through his notes, though he don't think he believes Robin has mentioned when it happened.
Soon, his men ran to him with an Eternal Pose and a map of this island, Jaya, which is shaped like a skull. Calgara explained that the name 'Shandora' means 'the skull's right eye,' referring to the city's location.
"It actually does look like a skull." Sero said in awe.
Back in the village, Noland had given them plants, like pumpkins.
"Oh, like the ones in the present day!" Toru pointed out.
Soon, their times of joys, like bonfires and drinking, were contrasted with an axe chopping down a tree, and later on, the villagers were shocked with what Noland and his men had done.
"Damn it, what's it now this time?" Katsuki said it out of frustrate, though the others looked more worried.
The Chief didn't want to speak of what they've done last night since they're going to set sail in a few days, but the villagers were still disappointed in them for stomping all over their history.
"What is it?" Shoji asked. Students exchanged nervous looks.
"Did they do something while drunk?" Hizashi mostly joked, but he could tell the villagers were taking this seriously.
"I'm sure they didn't mean it if they did." Aoyama tried to reassure, but still felt nervous about the whole deal.
By the time Noland and his men came, the villagers left. When he asked why, Seto told them that they're outsiders, and Calgara doesn't want to see them anymore.
"W-What's going on?" Kirishima felt shocked by this. "What about before You guys were friends!"
One of his men were frustrated by this, but Noland stopped him, deciding to inspect the forest instead.
As for Calgara, he was in the city of gold when one of the villagers told him that Noland was looking for him.
Well, Calgara doesn't want to see his face anymore, and if he did, he'll kill him.
Shock was on Kirishima's face as Tokoyami said, "Whatever they've done must had truly been heinous."
"But they couldn't done something on that level!" Mina tried to defend, but they have no clue what that act even is.
That night, the bell has rung for the crew; the first time that happened since the month they've been here. When one of his men approached him two days to finish exploring the forest, so in three days, they can set sail. The man was honest, feeling awkward on this island.
"I mean, to be surrounded by people who just hates you for some reason would definitely be awkward." Hizashi said with a shrug.
Noland ordered him to sleep, but in his mind, he thought back to his times back then, and then nowadays, so he ran to Shandora, demanding Calgara to come out. He thought all of this way too one sided.
"Exactly!" Denki exclaimed, hands in the air.
Noland wants an explanation; he doesn't want to part ways like this.
Students gasped in surprise as a spear grazed Noland's face.
In the shadows, Calgara dared him to not face him, saying he will kill him.
"To Be Continued."
Come on, Calgara, you shouldn't be like this! You two should be friends!" Kirishima shouted, missing their good old days. He wants them to be friends again, not... this!
Onto episode 189, they skipped the opening to see that Noland's crew has noticed their commodore seems sad, having lost his friend. They complained about the cold villagers as Noland laid on his stone bed.
"Calgara, can't you see what you're doing here?" Kirishima glared at the floor.
Skipping the title, one of Noland's men thought this was a rather heartrending way to leave, but was soon surprised by Mousse.
Before Calgara stood many trees that were chopped down, and he declared that they should had accepted Noland to begin with.
"What is it?" Toru asked, frustrated with the questions left hanging around.
Mousse explained that they're Kindred Trees. For their ancestors who died on this island are guided to the trees by the bell so they could settle, and they would watch over them, so the Kindred Trees are important to them.
This is why the villagers are angry, having enough respect to not drive them away physically. Even if the crew didn't know, the village's anger won't go away.
"And you couldn't given them a head's up?" Katsuki continued to be frustrated by this.
"I mean, I'm pretty sure it's rude to just chop down someone else's property." Aoyama said.
Mousse has to ask why they've done this.
In the morning, Noland was told of the importance of these trees, realizing what they've done, and that the villager has a right to be angry. When told that they have no choice, Noland claimed he did it to satisfy himself, remembering how the bell also served to guide their ancestors' spirits to the island.
"He even felt shame for what he did. What a man!" Kirishima became misty eyed.
Noland ordered his men to leave the gold behind.
"Not the gold!" Ochako cried out.
"But it's the right thing to do." Izuku said.
The villagers noted that Noland and his men leave today when Mousse ran in. She asked if they would change their mind if they knew a single, important tree was poisoned and that poison spread to the forest, affect the people, and kill an island.
Of course, the village were confused.
"That's why Noland did it." Iida realized.
"Of course it wasn't malicious." Momo let out a sigh of relief.
Mousse told Calgara to go back to them. Calgara tried to refuse, but if he doesn't, they'll regret it for the rest of their lives.
"Go to him!" Kirishima cried out.
The village learned the truth of the trees and why the crew had to do it, so Calgara ran.
"Go! Go!" Kirishima cheered, backed by his friends for this event, practically jumping up and down in their seats.
The crew had left the gold behind besides one thing, so they set sail to leave.
Just as they set sail, they heard the bell ringing.
"They felt so bad about it!" Mina gasped, seeing Seto and the other villagers' tears.
The crew saw Calgara run towards them til he stopped at the ocean. Remembering their time together, Calgara yelled out, "Come back again!"
Kirishima shed tears at this as the others became misty eyed at Calgara's words. The teachers' smiles were more bittersweet, remembering what does happen in the present day.
Calgara plans to wait for him, to keep ringing the bell so that his ship won't get lost at sea when he returns, even during a storm.
With tears in his eyes, Noland smiled, hearing Calgara call him his friend. He collapsed to his knees, glad that he can come back, and he will.
"Let's meet again someday for sure!"
Though this scene was joyous to see, the others had to remember that... that this didn't happen.
"But... But..." Mineta didn't know what to say. He could see the smile on Kirishima's face struggled to stay up, probably realizing the same thing; that Calgara and Noland didn't meet again as they've wished. This has to Calgara's regret.
After the eyecatches, the narrator explained that Noland had told the people of his land of his incredible adventures, though they can't tell if they're true or not. When he turned to report to the king about Shandora, they were amazed, and 5 years later, he was given another mission to the Grand Line, this time with the king and his soldiers.
Details of this were familiar, but definitely not exact from the Noland the Liar tale.
Of course, Noland died with tears running down his face. Kirishima bitterly thought, reminded of the beginnings of the saga.
One year before Noland's arrival, Calgara was seen by Seto as Calgara is off for the bell.
"Oh, wow, Seto, you really did grew up." Ochako said, seeing the difference between him and now.
"He became the warrior like he wanted to be." Izuku fondly smiled.
At the bell, they met with Nola the snake. Seto playfully asked Nola if Noland and his men are coming back today, though Calgara knows Noland won't come back so easily as he has a family in the far northern seas. At least Noland promised to come back
Suddenly, the skies turned dark as Calgara and Seto ran to protect the village.
Here it comes. Kirishima took in a deep breath, trying to steel himself through this.
The island was split, on half rising high into the sky by the Knock Up Stream.
Later, that half on the ground was discovered by Noland, who was in disbelief.
Their hearts stopped when Noland was kicked to the ground and called a liar by the king, reminders of the story's ending was nearing, but the ending wasn't the same as its reality. Noland didn't die with a smile like the Pirate King.
As Noland laid there, he wants to hear it; he wants to hear the golden bell, the fire of Shandora.
In his homeland, everyone saw that Noland was about to publicly executed, as he spoke his truth, that the city of gold exists.
"Why do you want to see someone get executed?" Koda asked, looking between his fingers.
"I guess it's satisfying to see a bad guy be punished." Jiro said, some bitterness in her voice. Noland didn't deserve this. They all know this.
"But Noland's not a bad guy! And he's not a liar!" Toru shouted the injustice of this. "The king's soldiers didn't die during that trip."
"I guess he really wanted that gold, and took his anger out on Noland." Ochako looked at the floor, knowing that not a good justification for all of this.
The king had one of 'his' men testify this truth, and at the man's word, the people believed Noland to be a liar, despite what his real crew had said, so Noland is sentenced to death by beheading.
Sharp gasps came around, seeing the swords positioned at Noland's neck. It was a similar look to Roger's execution, but instead of glory and cheers at his last words, the people chanted "liar" at him as his crew cried for their commodore.
"No...!" Kirishima teared up, seeing the injustice in all of this, seeing that Noland and Calgara will never meet up again.
In the sky, the island was sent flying, a part of it stabbed by the tall stalk as the golden bell was thrown into the air by the impact. Its ringing was heard by the Skypieans.
"That's how it happened." Izuku observed.
They believed that this much be the birth of holy land, where they must live.
Eyes grew wide, seeing how quick it changed for the Shandians as their land was taken by the land's God, and trying to fight back his soldiers off.
We made a promise, Noland... That we would meet again some day...
Calgara... Where are you?!
Toshinori took in a deep breath, wiping his tears away with a tissue. Memories of Nana and what her last moments must had been like came to mind.
When you return to Jaya, what will you think when you see we're gone? Hold on a little longer! I'll let you know that "we are here!"
Are you alive?!
Hizashi tried to stifle back a sob, almost stuffing a fist to his mouth. Memories of Aizawa in the hospital after the USJ incident came to mind.
I have so much to tell you...
Calgara... I'm only concerned for your well-being...
Aizawa gritted his teeth, gripping the knees of his pants. Memories of bloodied rubble came to mind.
Let's meet again on the same land some day, Noland!
But they didn't. Izuku glanced down, sniffling at their thoughts, thoughts about concerns for each other, not for themselves even when they're face to face with such consequences.
As a young Wyper was told, Calgara continued to shout to light the fire of Shandora, believing it would echo and let all know that, "We are here!"
...But the bell never once rung.
Noland refused to deny Shandora's existence and died known as a liar, but Calgara already had died honorably in battle, never being able to coney his message.
This is Great Warrior Calgara's greatest regret.
Though everyone cried at this tragedy, Kirishima shed the most tears, trying to wipe them away with his hand. "Noland's last thoughts were about Calgara, and Calgara fought so hard to see him again. I don't think I'll ever see a manlier friendship than this!"
He was given a tissue to cry in, trying to wipe and blow away his tears and snot.
Wyper asked if they rung the bell today, will its sound reach Noland?
With tears in his eyes, the chief thought it was a good question since they're so close to Heaven.
"Luffy, ring that bell! Ring that bell so that Noland knows that they're there!" Kirishima cried, reaching a hand out for the TV.
Now, in the present day, Wyper could only watch his land be ravished by Enel's storm as Aisa tried to pull him away, but Wyper was angered by Enel.
To Enel, everything in front of him was an eyesore, raining his destruction upon the land.
The class could only watch in horror, seeing Lovely Street was destroyed by Enel's lightning.
As the Going Merry was rocked by the rumblings, Robin could see that Enel's ship is far up, reaching for the top of the vine, for the gold bell.
Enel's lightning continued to destroy everything around him, aiming for the golden grand belfry, but he soon heard two voiced at the final stage: Nami and Luffy climbing up the vine.
"To Be Continued."
"Go!" "Do something!" "Protect Skypiea!" Several students cried out, desperate for Luffy to save the day once more. This land has too much history and meaning to be destroyed by some wannabe god.
