Chapter 17: Skypeia II
"Heaven huh? You know I always thought I'd end up in the other place to be honest with you" Zeus said as he rubbed his chin. Ussop fell over and fainted. Robin giggled and the rest of the crew just smirked. An old lady came over with what seemed like a camera in her hands, she had wings, Zeus looked over and said "Is that an angel? We're definitely in hell then." Sanji nodded, and the old lady said "Im Amazon, the gatekeeper." Zeus shuffled over to Robin and whispered "Seems like we didn't get reincarnated this time." Robin laughed and put her hand over her mouth and slapped Zeus' shoulder. Amazon continued "State your purpose, touring, permanent living, looting, pillaging, warmongering..." She kept going on and on, finally Zeus interrupted "Oi old lady! What was that last one?" Amazon blinked and said "Creating havoc to the economy by releasing better products at extremely low prices?" Zeus slapped himself and said "No the one before that" Amazon said "Oh, destroying the ecosystem?" Zeus said "In between those two you damn old hag!" Amazon said "Beat the shit out of God" Zeus nodded and snapped his fingers "Exactly that old lady, you know you sure do know a lot of things." Amazon said "Well I AM the gatekeeper, I need to know your intentions, and charge the fee, or not really it doesn't matter, I don't really care." Zeus said "Of course because we're criminals anyway so it really DOESN'T matter." Amazon nodded and snapped a few pictures, and a huge lobster grabbed their boat and sped off, Zeus waved at Amazon as they left.
Zeus turned to the crew, who were glaring at him and Nami screamed "WHAT WAS THAT!" Zeus looked confused and said "I was waving at that old cat-lady" Nami seethed and said "Why did you say we were going to beat the shit out of their god?!" Zeus gave her a 'are you serious' look and said "First of all Nemo, look around you mosshead is sharpening his swords with a psycho grin on his face, love-cook is already thinking about the angels, and Luffy's favorite thing to do is beat the shit out of people, second of all, we're here to steal their gold, do you think this 'god' is going to let us waltz in and steal from him? Even if he doesn't care about gold, it's about the principle normally people don't like being stolen from, last time i took a single beri from the floor and almost died." Nami's eyes went to beri signs and said "You're right! Luffy time to kick god's ass!" Zeus smashed his head into a wall and said "Robin please help me out here." Robin was in a daze, Zeus walked up and poked her and said "Uhh are you alright?" She turned to him and said "Do you think there's a lot of ruins here?" Zeus nodded and said "I don't know but I guess so I mean it used to be part of Jaya, if my theory's correct so there should be old buildings and books and stuff." Robin stared at Zeus and kept muttering something about history, it's all mine Zeus sighed and sat next to Chopper and said "Doc, I think I'm losing my damn mind, you got anything for that?" Chopper kept mumbling about new medicines, Zeus sighed and gave up.
A while later, the group landed on a beach. Zoro dropped anchor and Luffy jumped off the boat and said "WOAH IT'S SO SOFT!!" Zeus went into Robins room to switch out his mask, and came back on to the deck, Robin turned to him and said "Why did you change it?" Zeus rubbed her hair and said "Just in case, I don't want it to be damaged. That's my treasure you know." Robin smiled warmly and jumped off the boat with Zeus. Zeus and Robin walked towards the beach and sat down on some clouds, while Luffy was trying to figure out how to open some kind of coconut-like fruit, Zoro stumbled on to a white fluff ball and picked it up and said "What is this?" the white fluff ball opened and revealed that it was actually a fox-like creature, it said "Suuu" and hopped from Zoro's hand on to Zeus' head. The crew looked at him and Luffy said "It thinks you're it's MOM SHISHISHISHISHI" and fell on the ground laughing while holding his stomach, Zeus angrily grabbed it and said "Oi you stupid dog get off me." Everybody looked at him and said "Dog?" Zeus deadpanned and pointed at the thing on his shoulder sleeping and said "Yea are you guys stupid or something? Look, it has a tail, big nose, long ears, and its drooling right now." Nami literally slammed he head into the coconut thing Luffy was holding and everybody else's face faulted, Zeus turned to Robin and winked as he said "Help me out here Robin." she hesitated for a second and sighed saying "Yes it does look like a dog" Zeus started laughing and fell off his cloud-chair, while Robin's face reddened, Zeus said "It's okay Robin, sorry for making you do that and turned to the group and said seriously "I know it's not a dog, it's obviously a snake." Everybody fell, when they got up they heard music and turned their heads.
A woman was walking towards them playing a harp, when she was close enough she stopped playing the harp and said "Heso" Zeus got up and said "Heso" She blinked and said "I'm Conis, aren't you from the blue sea?" Zeus nodded and said "I only said it, because you said it." Nami slammed his face into the ground and said "Hi Conis, yes we are from the blue sea , i'm Nami nice to meet you" Conis decided to ignore the man who's face was stuck in the dirt, and was now dealing with Sanji, who had hearts in his eyes and was saying something about angels, she smiled at him causing Sanji to collapse, and said to Luffy "would you like to drink that pointing at his coconut thing, Luffy nodded and Conis pulled out a pocket knife from nowhere and cut a hole in the bottom and put a straw through it, handing it back to Luffy saying "Enjoy!" Luffy took a sip and said "WOW SO GOOD!" Conis giggled and said "They sure are tasty aren't they" Nami turned to the sea and said "Hey somethings coming." Conis turned to look and said "Oh that's probably just my father" Indeed it was, the man was riding the same contraption that Zeus found on the St. Briss, and slammed right into a tree. He got up and said to the group "Heso! Is everyone alright?" Zoro snapped "Ask yourself first!" and Conis said "Heso father!" the man replied "Heso Conis!" Zeus opened his mouth and said "Hes-" Before he could finish Nami slammed him to the ground again and said to the man "Hello, what was that you were riding on and how could it move without wind?" the man said "My name is Pagaya and this is a waver it uses dials." Nami blinked and said "Dials?" Pagaya said "Yes dials, they're what we use as everyday equipment up here." Nami nodded and said "Can I try your waver?" Pagaya said "Sure" Nami shot off into the white sea on the waver and was strangely good at it, Pagaya offered to take the rest to him house for a meal and they agreed, Zeus waved at them and said he was gonna stay at the beach and watch the boat, "Just in case another lobster-cat comes to take it or something." Robin gave him an look and he smiled as he took out a cigarette and lit it with lightning causing Conis and Pagaya to flinch, something Zeus noticed, he put on a serious face and looked at the two before saying "Alright you guys have fun!" and turned back to look at the sea, the group left but Robin stayed behind and Zeus said without turning around only loud enough for Robin to hear, "Watch those two." Robin nodded and followed after the group, and whispered to Zoro, who nodded.
Zeus was relaxing on the beach, about to take a nap, when he noticed people in white berets crawling on the beach Zeus sighed and said "You do know crawling like that only works in thick foliage places right? Not on a flat beach, I saw you coming from a mile away." The man coughed and stood up, he walked over to Zeus and said "You were charged with-" Zeus cut him off and said "Yeah yeah class 11 crime not paying the gatekeeper I know, can you move out of the way so I can go back to looking at the sea please?" The man moved and said "Then you know you're under arrest." Zeus sighed and said "Yeah yeah, I'm under arrest or I pay 10x the entrance fee blah blah, what else?" The man blinked and said "Well what else did you do?" Zeus looked at him and said "You're like really bad at this you know?" The man was confused and Zeus said "You're supposed to charge with something stupid and I get angry and punch you then you charge me with assaulting a officer and sentence me to 'divine judgement', jeez follow the script man" the man blinked and said "Uhh you're under arrest for sitting." Zeus sighed and punched one of the officers and said sarcastically "That's bullshit! Ah i'm so angry right now!" and gave the man a thumbs up, the guy blinked and smirked "Yes you've assaulted an officer prepare for divine judgement!" Zeus clapped and said "Wow you're really good at acting, have you ever thought about becoming a movie star?" the man said "What's that?" Zeus explained what a movie was and that a star was the hero of the movie and usually saves the day or something along those lines "And a lot of people watch them act it out and give money to watch it." the man scratched the back of his head and said "You really think so?" Zeus nodded and said "Of course," he continued with a raspy voice and said "Ya gonna be star kid, i'll make ya a big shot!" the man nodded excitedly and Zeus said "Now let's practice of choreography! Follow my lead." Zeus got up and started doing moves and said "Oi fall in line and do what I'm doing all of you! And One and Two and Three and Four!" He started doing dance moves with the white berets following his lead, as Luffy and the crew came back and watched, Zeus said "Okay now take it from the top! One and Two and Three and Four!" he stopped and yelled at one of the men "NO Jim! What are you doing! It's jump, slide, spin, THEN punch to the left! You look like you're trying to hump a football!" the man rubbed his head and said "Sorry I though it was punch, spin, jump, then slide." Zeus sighed and said "This is your last chance and BOB I'M WATCHING YOU NO SLACKING OFF!" Luffy came and joined with Ussop and Chopper, as the rest stood next to Zeus and said "What are you doing?" Zeus put his hands up and said "What does it look like i'm doing GET IN LINE LOVE COOK! YOU TOO MOSSHEAD!" Zeus kicked Sanji and Zoro in line and started doing his movement from the top, after a few moments the leader of the white brerets said "Wait a minute! You're all under arrest!" Zeus snapped and said "THAT'S IT I GIVE UP! IF YOU AREN'T GONNA TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY THEN WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER!" he sat down in a chair in a huff, the rest of the white berets along with Luffy, Ussop, and Chopper, all glared at the leader and yelled "WE WERE GONNA BE STARS!" then they started to beat the leader up.
After they stopped the leader stood up and said "Like I was saying you're under arrest for illegal entry, sitting, assaulting an officer, and manipulating officers to dance and practice choreography." Robin turned to Zeus, who shrugged and said "Don't look at me I only committed 3 of those crimes,"He paused and said "Oh no wait all of them, nevermind." he waved and continued smoking, Robin shook her head and sighed as he held her forehead. Zeus watched as Nami came back and crashed the waver into the leader of the white berets, who said his name was McKinley. McKinley stood up and said "I sentence you to divine punishment!" Zeus laughed out loud and flicked him finger in the air, causing a lighting bolt to fall on McKinley's head charring him black, as Zeus sneered "Idiot." Conis, Pagaya, McKinley, and the rest of the white berets stepped back in fear as McKinley stuttered "Enel-sama?" Zeus snapped "Do I look like your shitty God?" Conis and Pagaya gasped and Conis said "You have the same powers as Enel-sama!" Zeus looked at her and asked "What do you mean there can only one fruit like mine." Conis said "He can control lightning just like you can and he can hear all over Skypeia with his mantra, when he hears someone blaspheming against him he-he-he sends 'divine punishment' on that person, and the person is gone forever." Zeus was confused and said "Sounds like a real asshole." Lightining crackled above him Zeus smirked and jumped up meeting the lightning head on and landing back on the ground patting his stomach "Yummy, his lightning tastes good though." Everybody gawked and Luffy yelled "COOOOOL!!!!" Zeus smirked and laughed with his hands on his hips "Of course I'm the mighty Captain Kurama!" Ussop yelled "Hey that's my gag!" Zeus promptly ignored him, and another lightning bolt hit him. Zeus sighed and said "Sorry guys looks like we're being targeted by 'God' now." Conis and Pagaya backed away staring at the sky, Zeus looked at them out of the corner of his eye and called Robin over. Luffy, Sanji, and Ussop went to Conis and asked if they could have some food/dials/spices Pagaya said it was fine and the trio walked to his house, as the rest got on the ship as Nami was saying that they needed to leave.
On the Merry, Zeus, Robin, and Zoro were sitting in the galley. Robin had her eyes closed, she opened them and said "She just called a lobster to take our ship" Zeus nodded and said "Yea I thought so, Zoro did you see anything else?" Zoro shook his head "Nope, not when we were in her house, but when you got struck by lightning the first time she made eye contact and nodded when that captain guy with the hat looked at her." Zeus nodded and said "Well that makes sense, she didn't look like a bad guy, anyway well go with the flow, let the lobster take us where ever and we'll react on the spot." Zoro and Robin nodded, as Zoro got up to leave, when he left Zeus spit out a lightning ball. Robin was shocked and said "What's that? Are you okay?" Zeus had a serious look on his face and said "I guess you can call it bad lightning, it's not as pure as mine and my body rejects it, I didn't want to say anything when we were with the rest by we might be in serious trouble." Robin turned serious immediately and said "What do you mean?" Zeus said "He might not be lightning like me but his control over Lightning itself is leagues above mine, when he hit me with the lightning bolt, I barely resisted his control. That's why I'm saying we might be in trouble... I hope i'm wrong but he might control lightning.." he paused and Robin's mind put the pieces together said gasped and said "You don't mean.." Zeus nodded and said "Exactly that, if i'm correct, he can probably control me as well." as soon as he said that, the ship started moving, and a figure moved from the galley door and back to the deck.
The ship flew backwards through the Upper yard and landed on an altar with a thud. Zeus and Robin walked out of the galley and onto the deck and looked around, Nami and Chopper were freaking out while Zoro was calm, thinking about something. Zeus said "Looks like a sacrifice thing." Robin nodded and said "These are old scriptures, they've been here a long time." Zeus said "We should look around first" and grabbed a vine and swung over to land, he turned around and called Zoro, Robin and Nami and told Chopper to guard the ship "Chopper if anything happens blow Gan Fall's whistle, we'll be back in a bit hopefully Sanji, Ussop, and Luffy are back by then." Chopper nodded and grabbed on to the whistle, as the rest walked into the forest.
In the forest, the four of them we walking along, looking around, Zeus remarked "Strange that there's dirt here." before he froze and said "Fuck!" the three others looked at him and he said "I forgot to bring dirt before we left Jaya!" The three were even more confused, Zeus explained "They live in the sky, there was only cloud before we came here, imagine how much money we could've sold the dirt for!" Nami eyes went wide and she slapped him "How could you forget something so important!" Zeus wept and said "It's not my fault! I was.. Distracted" he locked eyes with Robin and looked away, blushing. Nami facepalmed and walked away, Zoro looked at Zeus and narrowed his eyes a bit and said "Anything else?" Zeus looked at him and said "What do you mean?" Zoro said "I don't know maybe things that you're hiding from the rest of us but only telling her?" he pointed to Robin, Zeus narrowed his eyes and said "Think carefully about your next words, Roranoa." Zoro was unfazed by the threat and said "Maybe you should tell everyone else that you could potentially be an enemy at the drop of the hat around here, instead of keeping it a surprise that could potentially kill us." and walked away towards Nami. Zeus watched him go and sighed and followed "Let's go" he said and Robin followed him. They caught up to Nami and were all silent, until Nami pointed at a castle in the distance and they went towards it and Zeus said "It looks like the other half of that Chestnut guy's house" the rest agreed and confirmed that Zeus' theory about Jaya being blown into the air, and they returned to the ship after hearing noises.
When they got to the ship, they saw Chopper tending to Gan Falls wounds and that the mast was burned. Zeus grabbed the other three and jumped from land on to the Merry and asked "What happened here Chopper?" Chopper said "We were attacked by a guy who said he was a priest!" Zeus nodded and sat on the railings on the Merry, looking out towards the Milky road and rubbed the Merry. Chopper looked at Zeus and asked the rest "What's wrong with him?" Zoro snorted and said "Nothing, yet." and walked to an empty corner and fell asleep, while Nami and Robin were silent and Chopper was just confused. After a few minutes of waiting, Luffy, Sanji, and Ussop finally arrived. The trio jumped on to the Merry and noticed that the atmosphere wasn't right, "What's wrong?" Luffy said, Zeus chuckled and said "Chopper fought off a priest with Gan Fall but the mast was burned, but you should've seen Chopper he was super cool!" Luffy was amazed and said "No way Chopper! We fought a priest too!" Chopper rubbed the back of his head and said "Actually I-" Zeus cut him off and said "Maybe we should eat, I'm starving!" Luffy blinked and nodded and said "Yea, we'll have a campfire!" Zeus chuckled and walked off the altar into the forest following Luffy, while the rest of the crew was silent. Sanji lit up a cigarette and said "So what's actually going on?" Everyone was silent and Zoro spoke "We'll talk about it later, Mask boy is right we're all hungry." Sanji nodded and went to get food, as everyone else made their way to where Zeus and Luffy were setting up a campfire. Zeus shot a lightning bolt at the logs and started the fire, Sanji came over and started preparing the food.
Hours later, Luffy was dancing with Ussop and Chopper and a bunch of wolves, and Zeus was sitting by himself away from the rest of the crew and Gan Fall, who woke up and joined them. Zeus was silently drinking and watching them, staring at Robin as she was enjoying herself petting a baby wolf that was on her lap, he sighed and got up to get drink. As Zeus passed the group and joined the party to get a drink, Zoro spoke up, "Maybe you should say something before you kill us all." Time stopped, Zeus' hand that was about to grab the drink froze, everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at him, Luffy said "What do you mean Zoro?" Zoro looked at Zeus and said "Why don't you ask him?" Luffy turned to Zeus and didn't say anything, Zeus sighed and said "I think it's better if we separate now, at least until we leave Skypeia." Luffy was angry and grabbed Zeus by the collar and said "Why?" Zeus took Luffy's hand off of himself and said "Because you're probably going to have to fight me too and if i'm around anyone expect YOU they will get hurt and most likely die." Everyone was confused and Zeus explained "If i'm right and Enel can control lightning, he can most likely control me as well, because i AM lightning." Luffy was so angry, that he didn't connect the dots about what Zeus just said, and instead said "So we just have to kick that guy's ass and you won't be controlled?" Zeus nodded and said "Yeah basically." Luffy smiled and said "Don't worry then! You're basically Nakama anyway." Zeus was stunned, as was everyone else. Zeus looked at Luffy and said "What did you say?" as he started tearing up, Luffy just smiled and said "Yeah, we're Nakama we've been since the beginning!" Zeus had his mouth wide open as he grabbed his drink and sat next to Robin lost in thought. Robin smiled and rubbed his back, as Nami said "He's a marine!" Luffy waved her off and said "He's a good marine." Nami shook her head and said "And what if he is controlled by Enel?" Luffy waved her off again and said "Then i'll just kick his ass too." Nami facepalmed and Zoro and Sanji smirked, she turned to Zeus and said "What did you mean by only Luffy will be fine?" Zeus was still lost in his thoughts and said absentmindedly "Luffy is rubber, Enel and I are lightning, rubber is an insulator." Nami said "Right, why didn't I think of that" Zeus replied "Cus you're an idiot." clearly still in his own thoughts, Nami snapped and punched him in the head, Zeus snapped back to reality and said "Ow! What was that for?! and how do you keep hitting me?" Robin was intrigued as well, Nami said "You just called me an idiot!" Zeus had his eyes wide open "I said that out loud?!" Nami seethed and hit him again and screeched "You think that often?!" Everybody started laughing and the party continued, with Zeus joining in this time.
