"Damn it, Emma! Hold on!" Noah shouted as he sprinted up Giant Jack. Nami and Luffy glided alongside him, moving swiftly across on the waver.
"It looks like they're going to fall back down," Robin warned. "We need to cut it down so it falls that way—they can use it to reach Eneru."
Wyper stepped forward and placed his hand on the tree.
"Wyper, don't!" Aisa shouted.
"Reject!!" Wyper bellowed. His attack smashed Giant Jack apart. The tree began to topple.
"We're almost there!" Nami shouted. Lightning suddenly rained down, trying to block their path.
"Emma, hold on!" Noah yelled, dodging the bolts with agility.
Nami pushed the waver to its limit. They reached the top just in time—the waver lift off and landed on Eneru's ship.
Noah leapt and used his power to fly over to the deck. The four of them landed perfectly.
Luffy jumped off of the waver. "Eneru! I'm going to kick your ass!"
Noah carefully set Emma down.
"Let's see if we can stop this thing," Nami said, she and Emma, rushed towards the ship's door. Eneru attacked. Noah blocked it with his sword.
"Your opponents are us," Noah said as Luffy stood firmly beside him.
Eneru laughed and struck again. Both Noah and Luffy dodged.
Noah attacked, but Eneru disappeared and reappeared behind him.
"100,000 volts!" Eneru roared. Noah blocked the attack, but the shockwave sent him flying back.
Luffy launched a Gum Gum Pistol, but Eneru dodged and countered with 300,000 volts. Luffy barely avoided it.
Noah got up and point his finger at Eneru. "Gravity Crush!"
Eneru slammed into the deck. Noah eased up the attack—any more and the ship would break apart.
Eneru struggled up. "So, you use a gravity Devil Fruit, and the other one is rubber?"
"Not really gravity," Noah said, pouring energy into his blade. He slashed. Eneru dodged, but the attack tore the sky in two.
"One hit from that and I'm done for," Eneru admitted.
Luffy attacked again, but Eneru stopped him. one million volts.Eneru said grinning.
If that attack hits Luffy he's done for. Noah said.
"Noah, Vector Shield!" He raised his blade, shielding Luffy from the attack.
"Impressive," Eneru said, before unleashing hundreds of lightning bolts. They hit Luffy, knocking him out cold.
Meanwhile…
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Emma asked.
"Of course," Nami replied.
They heard the clash of powers above.
"We need to hurry," Emma said. The ship leaned violently. She and Nami rolled, crashing into a wall.
Back on the deck, Noah and Eneru clashed, sparks flying from their powers. Eneru shot up into the clouds. Noah followed.
"How dare you stand in the way of God!" Eneru shouted.
Noah chuckled. "If you're God… then I'm a destroyer."
The two stared at each other, floating above the clouds.
[Let me take you back two days before all of this].
TWO DAYS EARLIER.
The crew sailed across the White-White Sea until they came upon a massive gate.
"Welcome to Heaven's Gate," an old woman said.
"Thanks," Noah replied.
"If you wish to enter Skypiea, you must pay 300,000 beli per person."
"What? We have to pay to enter?" Nami snapped.
"Wait… how much is that in berries?" Usopp asked nervously.
"One hundred million," the old lady answered.
"Whaaaat?!" Chopper screamed.
"What a rip-off," Sanji said.
"We don't have that much money," Emma told the old woman.
"Then you may enter for free," the lady replied calmly.
"We can? Then why did you say we had to pay in the first place?" Noah asked.
The old woman ignored him, took a picture of the crew, and walked away.
A giant crab grabbed onto the Going Merry and carried it across the sea until they reached the shoreline. The crew hopped off.
"Wow… look at this place," Emma said.
The sand was pure white, the trees looked strange and soft, and even the animals were huge.
A girl stepped forward. "Hello. You must be Blue Sea people."
"That we are," Robin said.
"I'm Conis. Nice to meet you all."
"Nice to meet you too, Conis," everyone replied.
"Wow, what's that?" Usopp asked, staring at a round fruit hanging from a tall tree. "Is it a coconut?"
"Coconut! I love coconuts!" Luffy yelled, rushing toward the tree and climbing it at full speed.
"Throw it! I'll catch it!" Usopp shouted.
Luffy tossed it down—and it smacked Usopp right in the head.
"Ow! What is this thing made of?!" Usopp cried.
"That's called a sky pumpkin," Conis explained. "The top is hard like iron, but the bottom is soft and easy to cut."
She sliced it open, stuck a straw in it, and handed it to Luffy. He took one sip and his eyes sparkled.
"I love this!"
Suddenly, a man flew past them on a small boat-like machine and crashed into a clump of trees.
"Dad! Are you okay?" Conis yelled, running over to him.
Conis and the crew helped him up.
"What was that thing you were riding?" Noah asked.
"Oh, that? That's a waver," the man replied.
"A waver?" Nami repeated, surprised.
"Didn't we find something like that before?" Robin asked.
"I think so," Nami said, thinking back.
"Enough chit-chat. Why don't you all come to our home?" Conis's father suggested.
"By the way, old man, what's your name?" Zoro asked.
"My name is Pagaya. Anyway, let's get going."
The crew followed Pagaya and Conis through the bright white village.
"This place is beautiful," Nami and Emma said at the same time.
Welcome to our home," Conis said.
The crew stepped inside and sat down around a small table.
"What's that?" Usopp asked, pointing at a strange shell on the counter.
"That's a fire dial," Pagaya replied.
"A… dial?" Noah asked.
"A dial is an object that can store anything," Pagaya explained. "Fire, water, air—even voices."
"Wow…" Usopp's eyes sparkled like he just discovered treasure.
Conis smiled. "So, how was your journey up to Skypiea?"
"It was rough. We almost died," Emma said bluntly.
Everyone laughed a little too hard at that.
Suddenly, someone banged on the door.
Zoro got up and opened it. "Who are you guys?"
A group of men stood outside in strange armor.
"We're the Sky Police," one of them said. "And you're all under arrest for illegal entry into Skypiea."
Emma sighed. "I had a feeling this would happen…"
Noah rubbed his forehead. "Great. Just great."
