A bit earlier,
"So, earth is valuable here?" Robin asked, still wearing her oni-mask, completely ignoring the tremors she felt or the thunder she heard. After a few hours, it had become quite a common thing, and the level of destruction here was rather tame compared to what happened in Jaya. So she decided to mingle along with the Shandorans and note down what she found interesting about their culture. "Why is that? Is it because of crop farming?"
"That is one reason…" The chief said, wincing when he heard a loud thunder, "But you see the vearth here is rather old. And has lost its growth property over time. It can still produce good crops. But vearth that's from the blue sea is still better than the vearth here or the Upper Yard."
"Interesting! Very interesting!" Cricket who was by the side, noted down along with Robin. The pirate even had his glasses on. While others didn't know, but as a descendant of Noland, Cricket was also very interested in history, so he did some archeological research on the side. Cricket might be a pirate, but he still had his own passion.
"Is there a reason why the trees and life forms have bigger sizes than normal?" Robin asked.
"That… aren't they supposed to be that size?" The old chief asked, before remembering something, "Oh, I remember some stories about the animals being smaller in the blue sea… but unfortunately, I have no idea why that is…"
"Maybe it's because of the air pressure around here?" Cricket said, "The air is quite thin, and other than taking some time to adjust you should have realized that it's easier to move around now."
Hearing that Robin hummed, "That can be true… but if that was the case then all of the Shandorans would have been much taller, like the giants or at least be triple our height. Maybe it's something different."
Cricket nodded, realizing that only the animals and trees here have gotten bigger. Not the humans. He was about to ask when another booming thunder cut him off. This one made the whole Cloud Island shake violently.
Everyone had to hold onto something so they wouldn't fall. "Is it me or are they getting louder and louder?" Cricket asked, looking at Robin, "Are you sure the cook can handle him? A lightning logia is no joke…"
Robin closed her books and looked towards the Upper Yard. From where they sat, they couldn't get a full view of it, but she didn't need to. She had complete trust in her crewmates. "Don't worry, Sanji can handle it. Logias aren't as powerful as people might think. And besides, Luffy has gone there as well. Now, back to the question…"
While Robin and Cricket discussed the Shandoran culture and history. Nami was taking her time, exchanging the dirt they had for Gold. The people of Shandora didn't see Gold as valuable. But they did use it to make old weapons, like spears, or arrow-heads.
Because of gold's rust-resisting properties, weapons made by it can last longer than usual. They, of course, covered the arrowheads with coal or other colors to take away the shininess of the weapon, due to stealth. But Nami was able to figure it out… somehow.
When Nami realized it, she started her trading immediately, not wanting to waste the gold. "Heheh… I'm rich!"
Seeing her trade a fairly equal amount of dirt for gold was an odd sight. Several of the straw hats sweat-dropped at the scene.
Usopp on the other hand was in the square of the village, telling the tales of the Straw Hat pirates and their adventures. With how crazy their journey was, Usopp really didn't have to lie about things. Well, he did exaggerate his part of the stories, but it was kind of given, given his bad habits.
Johnny, Yosaku, and Bartolmeo were helping Usopp by being animated and giving Usopp's stories a bit more life. Their stories of course did bring a lot of attention from the kids and even adults in the village.
With the fight going on for a couple of hours now, many of the Straw Hats even decided to head out from the hidden village to Angel Island to explore.
Gan Fall, who had recovered due to Chopper's and Law's help, took it upon himself to guide the young ones to the island. As one could get lost in the white sea.
The Going Merry was still docked in the Shandoran village, so Momoo volunteered with transportation.
"Is that the last one?" Sparky asked.
"Yup," Gin said, throwing the last body on the ground. It was Ohm, and he looked rather beaten up, with his face all mangled up, and his arm broken at an odd angle. "Had to get a bit rough on him…"
Coby, who was by the side, rolled his eyes, before throwing another body, "When do you not get rough?"
"Shut it pipsqueak!" Gin said with a grin, not denying the claim.
However, that comment didn't add up, as Coby was the same height as Gin. And even though Coby was wearing a loose shirt, one could see that his frame was solidly built underneath.
"Sparky-ya, I'm done with checking up on the locals," Law said, while Bepo came along with him, carrying his medical bag.
Behind them, one could see Penguin and Shachi —even with their injuries from earlier— helping the people. Though, they were more so looking after the giggling females rather than truly doing their duty.
Hatchan yawned, "I didn't see things going this way." He said, "But oh well… we are pirates after all."
Sparky sighed, when they came here. They initially planned on taking a look around, and Gan Fall had come to guide them here. But who knew things would go this way?
The people of Angel Island were distressed due to the fighting going on, due to close proximity to the Upper Yard it was constantly shaking. But that wasn't the main problem. Most of Enel's lackeys came here to cause trouble after not being able to be helpful in Upper Yard.
So when they came here, the people of Angel Island needed help. And Gan Fall was a bit injured, so they had volunteered to help out. It was good in a way.
Gan Fall was now explaining the situation of what was happening and all of the people were looking towards Upper Yard with hope.
Well, everyone but one. A female came towards them, even though others had ignored them due to their quirky appearance. Especially with Sparky and Hatchan being there.
The female had blonde hair styled into two braids that ended in balls and two antenna-like tops that also ended in spheres. She was wearing a pink dress without sleeves and sandals on her feet. Two small wings, not even big enough to fly with, sprouted from her back, like the rest of the sky people.
All in all, she reminded the earliest members of Usopp's girlfriend Kaya, just with wings and a different hairstyle.
"Heso, I'm Conis," she greeted a bit tense in her voice, "I-I… Is it true… are you really going to stop Enel?" she said directly looking at Sparky. Mainly as the others answered to the monkey first.
Sparky gave her a small smile. "Yup, he's toast… the bastard tried to harm a kid in front of Sanji… he would be lucky if he's able to keep his whole body after he's done."
Conis, who was about to say something, stopped when suddenly all of them stopped as they felt static in the air. The hairs on their body rose as a deep sense of dread was felt. But it was over with an explosion. An explosion that, even at this distance, shook the whole island.
"What was that…?" She asked, a bit pale. Coby had come to give her support as she, like most of the islanders, fell due to the violent tremors of the island.
Gin smirked, he didn't need Haki to know what just happened. "It's done." He said, before looking at Conis, "Wanna see a trick?"
Before she could answer, Gin took out one of his tonfa and threw it into the air. The weapon spinning at a rapid rate before hitting something in the air. The weapon returned after hitting it's target, and something fell on the floor.
It was the lower half of Enel.
"Kaayyy!" With that Conis passed out on Coby's arm.
The pirate with the hero complex looked irritated with his crewmate, "Did you really have to do that?"
"What? I showed her a trick." He said, grinning, "A bloody one. Now no one would question our validity…" with that, he cackled manically.
It was true in a way. Almost all of the people present there recognized Enel's body… or what was left of him. So, they really did become a hero. Most of them didn't even care about the bloody scene. After suffering for so long, they were more than happy to see Enel dead.
