Chapter 41: Scary women
*Zoro POV
"Well this place looks familiar… Or maybe not." Zoro is back at the altar with a giant south bird following him.
"Aha! This place just looks similar!" Zoro nods sagely.
"Johjohjoh-! AP!!!" The south bird snickers at Zoro until it gets hit by his rucksack.
"DID YOU JUST LAUGH AT ME?!" Saying that Zoro is annoyed is an understatement.
"JOH! JOH! JOH JOH! JOOOOH!!" The south bird starts to argue.
"It's your fault you followed me looking for food! That's what you get." Zoro gives it a smirk.
"Joh?" The sought bird looks at the thrown rucksack on the ground.
"Huh? Idiot!" Zoro jumps and grabs the rucksack as the south bird flies with it off.
"WAIT! THERE'S NO FOOD LEFT IN THERE!!! LET GO! HEY!!" Zoro screams as he is carried off by the south bird.
"Jooooh~" The south bird seems happy.
...
"Piece of shit bird! Why did you drop me off on this stupid giant beanstalk?! Let's get down from here." Zoro starts climbing down, but he fails to notice he is turned on his head.
Making his way 'down' the beanstalk he climbs onto the cloud island with lots of ruins on top of it.
"Hm? Where the fuck am I now?" Zoro keeps looking around trying to find either our crewmates or the enemies to fight.
Zoro keeps walking in between ruins until he hears someone talk.
"Stay. Holy, stay. I said stay." Ohm says while sitting on an elevated ruin.
Zoro turns around only to see a giant dog behind him sniffing him.
"You are the first today, to come this far. That nitwit is so careless." Ohm comments.
"Huh? Who are you and what's with this dog?" Zoro turns around to look at both of them.
"I am Ohm and that there is Holy, my trusty canine sidekick. So you are the one who defeated Gedatsu, down there?" Ohm asks.
"Wait… THERE WAS A GUY I COULD BEAT UP?!" Zoro asks while gripping his head in frustration.
"So you didn't? That nitwit really is useless. He let one pass by and got beaten by someone else. Well, it's fine~ A dolt like that is better off dead. Don't you agree?" Ohm
"That's rather cold to say to an ally, though I would certainly say it to our chef as well. So what are you doing up there?" Zoro reasons and asks about the weird meditative pose.
"I'm mourning human frailty. Humans are so weak, yet why do they keep destroying each other in battle?" Ohm
"Dunno, cause it's fun?" Zoro
"they were born hopping with happiness and destroying each other in their pursuit of it. But if that's true, they would be better off not fighting. One can't escape human nature. Pity. But there is one salvation." Ohm
"You shutting the fuck up?" Zoro rolls his eyes.
"They must all die." Ohm
"Well that escalated from 0-100 real fast." Zoro
"Why have you come here?" Ohm
"To kick somebody's ass… Looks like your's specifically." Zoro
"If you want a fight, then let's start it. I'll save you from yourself." Ohm pulls out his sword.
"The only salvation you will be giving out is to that sword. It looks cool. Maybe I will start to make a sword collection." Zoro grins at Ohm.
Ohm swings his sword at Zoro, who only blocks it at the last moment as he saw the blade extend its reach over a dozen meters.
"What the fuck was that?" Jumping back to reduce the impact he narrows his eyes at Ohm.
"There is no path of life, only towards sadness. Here the survival rate is zero percent. IRON CHALLENGE!!!" Ohm yells as he continues to do slash at Zoro.
"Bitch! I can't even get close to him with that stupid reach!" Zoro kept defending and dodging the strikes.
…
*Group Mikita, Janna, Lux and Chopper POV
"There are some winds being disturbed by fighting up there. Do you want to look it up?" Janna asks the other girls and Chopper.
"I didn't get to fight yet so yea!" Lux cheers.
"Maybe Lynx and Luffy are already fighting that bastard?" Mikita asks.
"No, that person had a bigger power level. This one is weaker." Janna
"Then let's go. I still need to prove myself!" Chopper says, even while hesitating.
"Good to see you follow your resolutions. So let's be quick before it ends too fast." Janna
The four of them go to the bean stalk. Mikita simply jumps with reduced gravity. Chopper and Lux grab onto Janna's legs and run up the stalk with her pulling them up.
…
*Gan Fall POV
"There is fighting going on up there. Let's go Pierre! We need to face Enel as soon as possible!" Gan Fall says to Pierre as they fly up to the ruins.
…
*Shandorians POV
"What's the situation?" Wyper asks as they make their way over the milky way through the forest.
"We encountered some heavenly warriors, but they were low in number and were taken care of." Braham
"We found the burnt body of Satori from the ball challenge, but the two who defeated him already left." Genbo
"We also found the corpses or unconscious bodies of Shura, Yama, Kotori, Hotori and a few heavenly warriors." Kamakiri
"We also saw the blue sea ship but it is currently chased by the Sky serpent, so we left them alone." Laki
"So the blue sea people were stronger than we thought! But let's not give them all the glory! Take Enel's head!" Wyper yells with all the warriors in range yelling with him.
…
*Ship POV (Conis, Pagaya, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Buggs, Sona, Siren, Lola and Zala)
After defeating Shura, the second group wandered the forest and encountered the ship group making its way over the milky way. They climbed aboard.
"Oh! You guys are back? So what happened?" Nami asks.
"Sona got to wreck a Corky wannabe and stole all his stuff. Also beat some goat people." Siren explains.
"Do I even wanna know what a Corky is or how she wrecked him?" Usopp asks.
"No. You don't." Lola says simply.
"My fair ladies have come back! Let me serve you some drinks!" Sanji is all happy with more girls coming back.
"So anything happened here?" Zala asks.
"Yea, we got attacked by two fatass goat people and some normal ones after." Usopp explains.
"So you took care of them?" Sona says disappointingly.
She was really enjoying the new string dial. The sound powers aren't as strong as on the zytre, but the strings can tangle up enemies plus do damage by direct vibration transfer, which does more damage.
"I think the future adventures will slowly become boring with how overpowered some of our members are getting…" Lola stares at Sona annoyed.
"Then grow up faster! This must not be any close to the end power level of this world. Look at Lynx how he is preparing back ups for the future, even though he can use all of our powers together~" Sona smiles playfully.
"... FUUUUUUCK!!!" Usopp, Buggs and Nami scream in realization.
By the side, Conis and Pagaya are discussing things.
"Did you hear? They are saying that there must be even stronger people than here in Skypiea… Does that mean even stronger than 'him'?" Pagaya asks with concern.
She doesn't want to mention his name, to not fish for any divine punishment he might send their way. No Lynx or Braum are here to tank it this time.
"Though it's hard to believe, it's possible. You saw how strong the blue sea people are… Now it only concerns what we do after… Do we seek their protection or do we continue as is." Conis frowns.
"That will be your choice Conis. I am old and you are an adult. My future will be continued by my child, so you can choose whichever path you want. I will support you no matter what." Pagaya puts his hand on her shoulder and smiles.
"Thanks dad!"
"Uh, guys… We have company…" Siren points at the forest as we sail out of the milky way into the white sea.
"Huh? Are there any more of the goat people coming?" Buggs comes to the side and stares at the forest annoyed, only to freeze.
"ROW THE FUCKING BOAT OR WE WILL BECOME SOME SNAKE FOOD!!!" Buggs screams on top of his lungs as he grabs an oar and starts to row.
Everyone looks over and they see the giant ass sky snake.
"ROW! ROW! ROW!!!" Nami screams as everyone grabs an oar and starts rowing into the sea, making the snake only follow them on land because of its weight.
…
"Oh! Hello! You already fighting?" Mikita asks Zoro as she is first to arrive.
The other three burst through the cloud right after and looked around.
"Oh! Doggie!" Lux finds Holy cute and is already giddy.
"Ohm! Where is Enel?! Tell me where the God's forces are!" Gan Fall arrives on Pierre looking at Ohm.
"Well, it seems I've got my work cut out for me… To cut up even more!" Ohm
"The only one cutting here will be me." Zoro prepares himself for another ranged attack.
"Pierre, your target is Ohm." Gan Fall tells his bird.
"Well, this will be a long battle. Let's go Holy. You can be a bad dog this time." Ohm pat's Holy's head.
"Woof!" Holy
Zoro charges at Ohm as he deflects his attack.
"Woof!" Holy
"So the mutt will attack as well!" Zoro prepares himself to block a bite, but is then sucker punched by the dog.
"Huh?! What's the mutt up to?!" Zoro flips over to land while gawking.
"This is the true Holy! Let me explain, I am a sky breeder and I went above and beyond in training my animals." Ohm sits on Holy's head.
"He can walk on two legs and is skilled in hand-to-hand combat!! Enjoy the demonstration!!" Ohm smiles proudly.
"... There are limits to training something against your body structure, aren't there?" Mikita looks very confused.
"Great doggie!! I want one too!!!" Lux runs in excitement.
Using the Straw hats as distraction, Gan Fall sneak attacks Ohm by swooping down from behind, but Ohm senses him and blocks the attack.
"Haven't given up yet, Gan Fall? Isn't swinging that lance too much for you, you old fool?!" Ohm
"My age is no excuse! I cannot retreat and let your cohorts proceed with your plans, whatever they may be!!!" Gan fall yells.
"Hmph!! Don't overrate yourself! Even if you knew, you can't begin to comprehend the noble sentiments of God!" Ohm
Ohm Flicks out several stones to hit different spots on the ground, which causes several barbed wires to shoot out. Pierre had to outmaneuver it, Zoro had to block and Lux to limbo under it at the last second.
"Seriously, what the fuck is this?! Barbed wire?!" Zoro
"You asshole! I didn't even attack!" Lux complains.
"It's called an iron cloud. It's light as a cloud, but as strong as iron! Milky dials produce them. Each one corresponds to an area on the ground. Stepping on it will activate it." Ohm explains.
"Here it's impossible to know where the switches are hidden. So you still plan to fight now?" Ohm asks casually.
"I don't care about obstructions. I will fight anyway." Zoro
"A stubborn one, huh?" Ohm
"No, the one who will kick your ass." zoro charges at Ohm again.
Zoro and Ohm clash. Holy tries to punch Zoro but Gan Fall charges at it, taking its focus to defend itself. Ohm and Zoro clash a few more times before jumping apart after the clashes.
"Stay still doggie! Light binding! Prismatic barrier!" Lux throws two lights, one that hits Holy and roots it to the ground and the other returning, giving her a shield before running towards it.
But after a few steps another barbed wire shoots out at her, which she barely dodges with only a slight scratch because of the barrier.
"Janna! Can you do something about this stupid barbed wire?!" Lux yells as she is getting annoyed.
"I can try to set them off, but I can't do much to them. Howling gale!" Janna sends off a mini tornado through the path triggering a few more barbed wires.
"Yes, keep them busy!" Gan Fall yells as he makes another loop, this time for Ohm.
"Go away old timer, your time has passed!" Ohm swings his sword with the cloud extending towards him. Gan Fall abandoned the attack and dodged.
"You're open!" Zoro was behind Ohm and strikes.
Ohm kicks the ground as another barbed wire shoots out and blocks the attack before Ohm turns around and engages with Zoro.
Gan Fall on the other hand got punched off Pierre by Holy after he was forced to dodge Ohms attack.
"Light binding!" Lux throws the bind attack at Holy again when he closes in on the fallen Gan Fall.
"Ten ton dropkick!" Mikita drops from the sky and dropkicks Holy.
Holy block it with both arms, but under the force of the tons falling from the sky, its arms give away and the kick connects with its face, slamming it into the ground.
Mikita then walks on top of it, sits on its shoulders and weights down, so even if it becomes conscious soon, it can't move.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY HOLY?!" Ohm gets mad and strikes towards Mikita.
"Eye of the storm!" Janna
"Prismatic barrier!" Lux
The two throw shield/barriers on Mikita, so that the attack doesn't damage her.
"Stop looking away. Eyes up here! Oni giri!" Zoro charges with his move, but Ohm waves his sword, creating an iron cloud barrier that Zoro can cut, but can't get through.
"Weak. Why do you struggle so much. Let me just end you so you can stop suffering." Ohm waves the sword again, making the cloud to try and capture Zoro.
"Fine then! If I can't get close to you… 32 pound cannon!" Zoro sheaths two of his swords, concentrates for a second and swings it.
A flying sword slash is sent towards Ohm, when he didn't expect it, and is cut on his left shoulder even after blocking.
"You are one tough bastard, but it will not help you." Zoro
They have a few more exchanges. In the meantime, Chopper doesn't know what to do, since he is a bad matchup for Ohm. Janna on the other hand is getting annoyed.
'They are fighting so much, for no gain. I really do hate the fighting here… Even when I am reluctant to part with him, I might ask Lynx to send me back and just keep me contracted.' Janna keeps frowning at unnecessary bloodshed this world seems to enjoy.
'Much like most of Bilgewater… Ok that's it! I have enough!' Janna flies up.
Janna focuses all her frustration into the wind as she gathers it. Her air elemental bird starts to swirl in circles in front of her, creating a bigger tornado than what she usually uses.
"Howling Zephyr!!!" Janna extends her hands sending the giant tornado horizontally at Ohm, who doesn't expect it at the least.
Even if he did, what can you do in the presence of a tornado?
Ohm is picked up as he is being beaten up by the air elemental inside the tornado before he is promptly launched straight down towards the ground.
"Light binding item!" Ohm tries to prepare to land with the help of his sword when Lux's ability comes by and roots the sword in the air, forcibly yanking it out of his hands.
*Boom!*
Ohm crashed into the ground and then Chopper jumped and dive-bombs on his back in his big form.
"Blergh!" Ohm pukes out some spit before Chopper locks his arms behind his back.
Everyone stands still besides Janna that comes closer to Ohm.
"You seem to hate life. You seem to hate human nature. And I do as well. I hate useless bloodshed. The unfair treatment to the weaker masses. The frailty of the body and mind." Janna glares at Ohm.
"But nothing is perfect and everything has an end, including me. But now is the time for your and your masters end. I and my summoner will be the ones to end your tyranny." Janna turns around to try to feel where I am to finish this finally.
"I could have done it soon enough! I didn't need any help." Zoro comes annoyed at Janna.
Janna turns around with a glare and sticks her staff in front of his face.
"I don't care! I want to finish this soon or I will be the one going on a rampage and tear this cloud apart with my winds." Janna stares at his face before retracting her staff and going away.
"... Why does Lynx only summon these scary ass women?" Zoro looks after Janna.
