Chapter 35: Conis and Suu
"Bloblobloblob!" We struggle as we gurgle on water like clouds.
'Siren! Help separate the water!' I send Siren a thought before trying to manipulate the clouds to no avail.
The cloud is so thick that we are unable to breathe just like in water. Annie is still in my arms and sees me trying to do something not obstructed by not breathing.
'He can breathe underwater like future mommy Siren!' Annie concludes.
*Chu~*
Annie grabs my face and kisses me before she starts to breathe the air inside me.
*FLOP!*
Just a few seconds later we penetrate through and the ship loses the rest of the momentum as it starts to float on the cloud.
"Cough cough! What the hell!?!" Sona coughs some clouds out.
Others are coughing on the floor as well, mostly.
I, Siren and Annie are the only ones alright enough to still stand.
"Thanks daddy~" Annie backs out and smiles only to frown with how hard it is to breathe in such a high altitude environment.
"No, you can breathe now on your own." I denied her as she started to look at my lips again.
"What the fuck happened? Did we lose anyone?" Zoro sits up still a bit weak.
"I don't see anyone missing." Siren looks up and looks enviously at Annie.
"Hey guys! Look where we are!" Luffy smiles as he points overboard.
In front of us, an ocean of clouds is spread as far as the eye can see.
"What is this place?! It's all white?!" Chopper
"Are you all stupid?" Lynx
"Yea! Of course we are sailing on clouds!" Luffy
"You can't sail on clouds!" Sanji, Zoro and Chopper all deny it.
"Then explain what else is possible~" I roll my eyes.
"Just listen to daddy~ He knows more than you idiots~" Annie taunts them.
"You little…" Zoro wants to curse but sees Annie grinning with Tibbers giving off a few ambers in her arm.
"Oh shit! Usopp is not breathing!!" Lola yells.
"Ah! Call the doctor! Call the doctor!!!" Chopper panics.
"How many times do we have to say it?! You're the doc, doc!!!" Buggs slaps him.
"Ah, right! CPR!" Chopper starts doing it only for his eyes to be almost poked out by Usopp's nose.
"Ah damn the stupid nose! I will start learning plastic surgery if this keeps repeating!" Chopper curses holding his eye.
"... Sanji, I think you are the guy for that." I look at Sanji.
"What?! I am all natural, you asshole!!!" Sanji yells.
"Yea, I know that. I meant it as the doctor for plastic surgery. Your kicks would probably restructure faces quite well?" I look at him.
"... You've got some weird ideas…" His face doesn't know what feeling to portray besides utter confusion.
…
"So this must be the sky ocean? But look, the log pose is still pointing up!" Nami shows us the log pose.
"That's because there are several levels to the emperor cloud. The island is higher up." I point up.
"But how do we get there then?" Chopper
"There are some bridges scattered between the layers. So we need to find them." I explain.
"Any idea where they are, daddy~?" Robin looks at me curiously and playfully.
"... So another one has fallen?" Zoro just sighs looking at me with dead eyes.
"NOOOO! NAMI-CHWAN I'LL PROTECT YOU!!!" Sanji jumps in between Nami and me, gazing murderously at me.
"Robin, this isn't the time for this." I massage my temples.
"Oh~? But you did tell me to continue calling me like that last time~" Robin licks her lips.
[AN: Yea, they did it last time, but like I said, I will wait for another encounter to write the r-18 chaps together. Constantly writing lemons would get boring for me and you guys, unless I reach out into the kamasutra and all kinds of fetishes… Oh Robin will have a fetish in the chap~ xD]
*Slap!*
"Keep it for the bedroom." I slap her curvy ass, getting the glares or pouts from Mikita, Zala, Lux and Siren.
"Hey! Don't do all the fun stuff only with the others!" Lux walks up to me and pokes my chest.
"Yea! We still haven't had any, master!" Siren pouts beside her and searches for agreement from Janna and Sona.
"Oh, don't worry about me~ I will serve myself~" She grins sadistically at me.
"I don't see any reason why you would feel pleasure from that." Janna just looks confusedly at them.
Sanji is just standing there in front of Nami while chewing a tissue in frustration.
'... Will I have to start sleeping with one eye open, so I don't wake up bound up somewhere with Sona being dressed as a dominatrix? Let's just grind observation haki like hell!' Lynx
…
Usopp tries being an adventurer, but he forgot one thing… Bravery and stupidity have a thin line between them.
He jumped into the sky ocean, but this time he had my eldritch chains around his ankle, so I could pull him up easily. But then Chopper saw something dangerous.
"A boat in the distance was just destroyed!! Now the bull that destroyed it is running over the clouds towards us!" Chopper
"Calm, down! You are not making sense." Zoro
"What's wrong with you my deer friend? Did you see the oogie boogie man?" Braum
"Nope, but probably that thing that is headed towards us." Buggs yells.
"Is it human? It's running on clouds." Zala looks curiously.
"Ah! He arrived! Then let's give him a welcome!" Lynx
The man jumps onto the ship, but is promptly sent flying up.
"Howling gale." Janna sends forward a small whirlwind that catches him and sends him flying back.
"What voodoo stuff was that?!" Wyper is confused at the sudden whirlwind.
"Come talk for a bit, brave warrior of Shandia!" I yell towards him.
Wyper actually freezes and looks at me.
"Who are you and why do you know about me?" Wyper has quickly calmed his violent temper to assess the new weird foes.
"We have come here for an adventure and to visit Skypiea. We also came with the blessing of Mont Blanc Cricket- a descendant of Noland." I explain.
"You know the descendants of Noland?!" Wyper is surprised but before he can continue speaking a screech comes from the sky.
"Enough!" An old armored guy riding a purple dotted bird attacks Wyper.
*Shwi-shwip!*
Two chains fly out, causing the two warriors to split. Flying from the ship forward in the air with Janna's ability, I approach the two men.
"No more attacking! Hold you asses so we can talk or I whoop your ass first!" I try using Annie's ability to enlarge and enchant Tibbers on myself.
I did only grow by one meter, but the fire burning on me and inside my eyes, must have looked scary as hell. The two men first look at each other before nodding.
"What do you wanna talk about?" Gan Fall
"My crewmates are ignorant about what is happening up here, but I know most things. You are Gan Fall, right? And you must be Wyper, the warrior of Shandia." I undo my transformation and talk casually again.
"Yes, I am. But how do you know, youngster?" Gan Fall
"I haven't seen you before… How do you know me?" Wyper.
"Does it matter? We have business and why not help each other when you all need help." Lynx
"In what way do you mean?" Gan Fall
"You want to defeat the god wannabe. One wants to have the Skypieans and the Shandians unite, while the other wants to live again in the homeland of their people. All achievable by us." Lynx
"But you don't want it for free?" Gan Fall asks.
"It can be free, but you all know that free things cost the most, right~?" I smile at them.
"What do you want in return?" Wyper wants to see what I want before he decides on what to do.
"I want Skypiea to be another of my bases. Well I can also rule and make it better? Like I can defeat Enel, will allow the return of Shandians, ring the bell, make rules for no discrimination between the tribes, provide soil to cultivate food on and also allow the passage between my other kingdom in the blue sea. You don't have to answer me now and can go discuss it first. We will just go on our way up to Skypiea for now and to defeat the bastard." I shrug my shoulders.
"Oh! But if you want to see how I completely humiliate Enel, so much that you will laugh for years to come. Come to the upper yard soon after us. I'll even wait for you~ Now can you point us where the bridge to the upper level is?" I grin at them while asking directions.
"Oh, for Heaven's gate, go that way. You will see it from afar." Gan Fall points a certain way.
"Thanks~ Well, see you in the upper yard~" I wave at the two before flying back.
"Are these really friends of the descendants of Noland?" Wyper is confused but my casual attitude while talking about defeating Enel, who was their pain in the ass for a long time.
"... Well, we can see what he will do in the future? I'll just go for now and observe them." Gan Fall makes Pierre turn into a pegasus.
"Fine, I'll go report to the chief as well." Wyper glides the cloud away.
…
Landing on the ship, I am rushed by most of my crewmates.
"Who were they?" Mikita
"What did they want?" Robin
"They seemed like enemies." Zala
"Daddy can also turn into Tibbers!!!" Annie fangirls over me.
"Well, they are from two different tribes living up here. They are at war more or less and any outsiders are treated quite coldly since they are an additional threat that can join either side. Well, they will leave us alone for now. By the way Nami, that way is the Heaven's gate from which we can ascend to the next level." I point at the direction shown by Gan Fall.
"Then what are we waiting for?! LET'S GO!!" Luffy is hyped about it, ignoring the threat that was just looming around us.
…
We make our way where we were pointed at and finally arrive at a giant sun shaped gate with the writing 'Heaven's gate' on it. Behind it was a waterfall like cloud.
"Look! The cloud really is a waterfall cloud. It's cascading down from a cloud!" Lola
"This is a terrible omen. We're going to die." Usopp is scared of the name.
"Did you ever think that maybe we're already dead?" Zoro smiles at Usopp.
"Yeah, that's quite likely." Sanji
"We're all dead?!" Chopper and Buggs.
"Oh? I am going to heaven? This will be fuuuun~" Annie grins.
"Well, at least we won't risk dying in Lynx's sessions anymore~" Zala chuckles.
"Is it bad that I really wanna try how it would work like that?" Mikita asks while bitting her lower lip.
"I can't wait! I'm finally going to heaven!" Luffy makes a silly face.
Entering the gate we stop near the booth with an old woman inside it, taking photos of us.
"Look over there! Somebody is there!" Usopp points at her.
"Are you tourists? Or have you to to make war? It doesn't really matter. If you want to go up to the upper stratum, you'll have to pay the entrance fee of one billion Extols per person. That's the law." The heaven's gate inspectors tells us.
"An angel!! Isn't that what an angel looks like?! She's a pruney little angel!!" Luffy exclaims.
"If she is an angel, then I am a goddess." Sona
"How much is one billion extols?" Usopp looks flabbergasted by the amount.
"Extols are worth less than berries. How much was the exchange rate, lady? About 1 berry to a 100.000 extols?" I ask her since I can't remember the number.
"It's 1 to 10.000." The pruney angel says.
"So 100.000 berries per person for a grand total of 1,9 million berries. But we don't have to pay it really, right?" Lynx
"Yep, you may pass. But the choice is entirely your own. I'm neither a gatekeeper nor a guardian. I'm merely asking what you wish to do." Pruney angel.
"Then we are passing anyway. You can report us to the idiot. Doesn't matter since the leadership will soon change. Have a nice day!" I wave at the pruncey angel.
"WAIT?! What do you mean report us to the idiot?!" Nami looks at me in suspicion.
*Fwoosh! Clomp!* Two pincers grab onto the sides of the Merry.
"WAAH!! EEK!!" Nami
"WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" Usopp is screaming from fear.
"Woooow~ Waht are these?!" Lux on the other hand seems excited.
"The famous lobster express of the white sea…
The lobster starts pushing us up the cloud waterfall all the way up to the next level.
"WEEEEEE~" Annie, Buggs and Lola seem to be enjoying themselves like on a ride.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Zoro
"The cloud is like a belt we ride up." Siren comments as he observes it.
"I can't believe this is a natural phenomenon!" Nami yells.
"NO WAY THIS IS NATURAL!!!" Usopp
"I was created from people crying my name as they died, calling for a miracle. Magic works in mysterious ways." Janna
"And can you say that my milk isn't magic?" Braum looks at him offended.
"Uh, sorry!" Usopp shrinks back.
"There is some writing up there!" Sanji
"It's the exit!!" Nami
"Godland Skypiea, huh?" Robin stares at it.
"It's not an exit! It's an entrance!!" Luffy
We are launched up from the hole as the lobster lets go of the hull. Landing in the cloud sea once more, we make our way to what looks like the cloudy shore.
"The island is made from fluffy clouds!!" Chopper bounces over the beach.
"Waah!! Skypiea!!" The more excited members all rush onto the cloud beach in excitement.
"Hey, what about the anchor?! There is no bottom to this ocean." Zoro
"Nevermind that! Look at the beach!! It feels fluffy!!" Luffy
"Just throw it, so it hooks on the beach." I pat his shoulder before jumping over to the beach with my summons as well.
"Uuu~ This feels so weird… No water, just really thick clouds…" Siren feels very uncomfortable here.
"Really? I feel like this place was made for me." Janna smiles feeling the breeze and the air.
"The scenery really is amazing." Zoro jumps off after throwing the anchor.
"It really is. This scenery is what you feel like hearing my performance~" Sona grins at him.
"Ah, it reminds me of home~ But instead of clouds, its snow and ice… And there isn't a city made of stone… Nor the temperature is anywhere similar to what it is there." Braum comments.
"I don't want to go visit your homeland EVER." Mikita just shivers thinking about such a cold place.
"So this is Skypiea. Though I heard it was real, it was hard to believe. Even with Lynx reassuring us." Robin
"True, but that guy has been pulling crazy stunts from the start… Do you believe he was the weakest in the crew when he joined?" Zoro looks at her.
"Hard to believe, but with such a power, it is only a matter of time when you become strong. Only thing that can hinder you is if you die first. But daddy has a good survival instinct, so he will live." Robin chuckles.
"Well that's for sure. I just hope that we can grow strong alongside him and not be left behind." Zoro
"Well, he did say he will start training us from now on. So hold on until then~" RObin smiles before leaving too.
…
"Hey, do we have a beach day? It's been so long since we could relax on a beach." Nami
"AGREED!!!" A group of us yells as we start to play around.
'Enel can wait for a few hours~ I got haki, Luffy and healers. Let's have a few hours off and then capture the fuck…. Let's just call Tashigi, so Smoker gives one of the seastone cuffs… I need to raid some marine ships or bases to get more, so I don't have to always borrow them.' Lynx
After playing around for a bit a white cloud fox appears on the beach. I approach it alone and squat before it.
"Hello there, girl~ Are you alone or do you have any friends near?" Lynx
"Suu~ Suu~" Su replies and turns to the cape a bit away, where a blonde angel is standing playing a harp.
"Oh? So finally a worthy angel." Sona nods, since this angel girl isn't like a dried prune.
"... Heso!!" Conis notices us and greets.
"Huh?!" Luffy is confused as hell.
"Heso!! Oh for you guys, 'heso' is the greeting here." I greet her back before telling everyone else.
"Did you come for the blue sea? Come here Su." Conis asks before calling the cloud fox.
"We flew up in our ship." Luffy
"Aww… I wanted to pet the cutie..." I pout since the fox really is cute.
Conis hears my praise and makes a cute pose for me, attracting Annie, Lux and Sona.
"Do you have any more of these little critters? I want one myself." Sona seems to be tempted to have a cloud fox of her own.
"There are, but they are smart, you need to tame them yourself." Conis answers.
Sona grins with a confident smile.
"Normal taming, no violence. Treat foxes fairly." My input made Sona pout.
"Anyway, do you live here?" Nami
"Yes, I live here. This is Angel beach inSkypiea. I am Conis, if you are in trouble, I'll be happy to help you." Conis
"Whoa… You could melt a man's heart with that look… !!!" Sanji has his leg kicked by Annie and his ear pulled by Nami.
"Cheesy fuck." Annie walks away.
"You're in my way." Nami pulls him out of the way.
"We have a lot of questions. All of this is very strange to us." Nami
"I'd be glad to answer them." Conis
"Oh! What's that coming towards us?" Braum looks at the distant figure coming towards us.
"Oh, that's my father!" Conis
"Conis, heso!" Pagaya
"Heso, father!" Conis waves her hand.
"What is that thing he is riding?! It's so cool!!" Usopp and Buggs stare at it.
"You mean the waver?" Conis asks.
"Yea, they meant the Waver. We also have a leftover of an ancient Waver." Lynx
"Pardon me. But I'm coming ashore!" Pagaya passes in between us, onto the beach and into a tree.
"Is anyone hurt?" He is hardly picking himself up while he asks that.
"You're the one who crashed!!" Zoro rebutes him.
