~Third~

"Well look what we have here you must be the blue sea people who have illegally entered the sovereign land of Skypiea"the leader said "Huh?"Luffy asked "Prepare to have the weight of heavens judgment brought down upon you!" the leader said Conis gasped "You're calling them criminals?"Pagaya asked.

"Illegal entry? What's that?"Luffy asked "Let's just say it's not good"Pagaya said "Don't waste your time making excuses, Amazon who stands at the gate captured these very images using her vision dial"the leader said pulling out pictures from his pocket "No wait that can't be, i think this all a big misunderstanding captain McKinley they're not the criminals you're making them out to be"Pagaya said.

"What do you mean by illegal entry?"Sanji asked "Does this have to do with that ridiculous one billion extol entrance fee? Because we didn't pay her a thing"Robin said "Didn't that old lady say we didn't have to pay it? It's not like she tried to stop us"Usopp said "I guess it's illegal to enter without paying"Nicole said.

"Enough there's no sense in trying to deny it, now fess up, don't worry you need not become panicked just yet according to heaven's judgment illegal entry is only an eleventh degree crime, once you accept your punishment which will be minimal you'll become legal tourist on the spot and may go about your business"McKinley said.

"Well he should have told us that sooner but before we accept what exactly you have planned as far as punishment?"Sanji asked "A mere slap on the wrist all you have to do is pay ten times the entry fee of course if you pay immediately we'll pretend this little episode never happened so ten billion per person times eight people makes your total eighty billion extols cash only" McKinley said.

"Wait seventy billion extols? That sounds like an awful lot of money how much is that in berry?" Usopp asked "That's the currency used in the blue sea right? Today's exchange range is ten thousand extols per beri"McKinley said Usopp started doing the math but was totally wrong "Eighty billion extols is eight million berries genius"Robin corrected him.

"Get real do you realize how expensive that is? After risking our lives coming to this place why should we have to pay a stupid fee just to enter your precious city? We can't agree to that"Sanji said "You brought this on yourselves if you just had paid the eight hundred thousand berries in the first place we wouldn't be having this talk"McKinley said "That's still a lot!"Usopp yelled at him.

"Hey forget it just ignore them, let's go get Nami she might be lost somewhere and crying right now"Sanji said turning to the others "I will give you a warning, we are the White Beret direct servants of the high priest, if you continue to deny your criminal status will worsen! Also this waver it looks broken! If you broke it then it's a class 10 crime, the one about citizens of blue sea braking properties in sky island"McKinley said.

"No no no excuse me this was theirs to begin with"Pagaya said "Yup it's mine"Luffy cut it "Theirs? There shouldn't be wavers in the blue seas if this was stolen from sky island it's a class nine crime"McKinley said "So noisy stop or i will really send you flying with a punch"Luffy said starting to get annoyed.

"Please wait!!!"Nami called as she approached from the distance "Nami~swan!"Sanji called to her with heart eyes "Luffy! Promise you won't start any trouble okay?!"Nami called over as she rode closer with a waver "Don't know if i can keep that promise"Luffy said "Hey! Nami we need you to fork over eight million berries from your stash to pay for all the fines we got!"Usopp yelled over.

"Oh good so we pay the fine and we're clear, did he say eight million?"Nami asked before speeding up the waver and crashing into McKinley and sending him flying "You're ripping us off!"she yelled and came to a stop before pulling the waver over to Pagaya "Hey thanks for letting me use your waver i love the way it handles"Nami said.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it but more importantly do you realize how much trouble you're in now?" Pagaya asked "Guys let's make ourselves scares"Nami said noticing the guy she had crashed into had hit a wall quite literally "Aren't you gonna finish the fight you just started?"Luffy asked "Trust me this Eneru is not someone we wanna mess with"Nami said.

"I assume that's another crime on our records"Zoro said "Oh yes quite and knocking out an official is a crime of the fifth degree"Pagaya said "Fifth huh? Could be worse"Usopp said "That's not good at all once you're found guilty of a fifth degree crime all mighty Eneru will banish you to the land of the drifting clouds"Conis said "How's that bad?"Usopp asked.

"Land of the drifting clouds? That sounds like fun"Luffy said "It's a death sentence, you die" Conis said "We die?!"the coward trio freaked out "You really got him good Nami"Zoro said as McKinley was still knocked out "But come on a death sentence in gods land? It's quite a contradiction"Zoro said.

"But it's the truth this is very serious they put you and your ship on a small cloud and send you drifting with no chance of rescue or escape, you'll eventually die a slow and painful death it's terrible"Conis said "Interesting that must be why we saw that ship fall from the sky"Robin said "Wait what are you talking about?"Usopp asked.

"Don't you remember that galleon we saw falling? The Saint Briss i think it was called for all we know that crew could have been punished over two hundred years ago"Robin said, Usopp recalled that and gulped in fear.

"You criminals!"the white berets said "You scum know what you've done to our captain?"one asked "Who cares"Sanji said "Sanji let me handle this"Nami said "Anything for you!"Sanji said with heart eyes "Don't take it so personally it was a lucky shot"Nami said "A lucky shot?!"one beret asked "Completely unintentional"Nami said.

"You're lying!"one beret said "No i'm telling you the truth it was an accident i swear"Nami said "An accident?!"the same beret asked "Uh okay guys look try wrapping your heads around this, it was an accident because those wavers are really hard to control and it was my first time to ever pilot one so i made a little mistake while i was turning, yeah i'll admit that makes me clumsy but can you blame a beginner for messing up and nearly killing your boss?"Nami asked.

"That's weird seemed like you had a pretty good handle on it for me"Luffy said earning a glare from Nami "Zip it Luffy, Nami's trying to trick them into thinking it was an accident don't blow it okay?"Usopp whispered to the rubber boy putting him in a head lock "Alright"Luffy said.

"Gentlemen as important as your investigation is perhaps it would be best to get the captain to a doctor first just a thought"Pagaya said "Oh right the captain"one beret said as the others panicked "Now there's no reason to panic let's take him to my house"Pagaya said "We'll get right on that"one beret said and they transported the injured captain to Pagaya's house.

"Consider yourselves under preliminary arrest don't go anywhere got it?"one beret told the Strawhats as they crawled away "I just know you guys aren't as bad as they claim you are so take this chance and get out of here"Conis said before going after her father and the white beret.

"I think we better take her advice when i was on the waver i saw it for myself an island filled with monster"Nami said shocking Usopp and Chopper "Great so you did exactly what everyone was hoping you wouldn't do"Zoro said "You mean the place we were told to never ever set foot on? And there's monster?"Luffy asked only getting more excited.

"It's nothing to get excited about Luffy the last thing we need is to get involved with this regardless we're leaving now let's go, if we stick around any longer Conis and Pagaya might get in trouble because of us"Nami said "That's true those white beret will charge them as our accomplices if we can escape now on our own then it shouldn't cause them any trouble right? After all how can they be helping us when they're with that captain"Usopp said.

"By buying us time to escape, you gotta think of the big picture here, i hate to say it but those two might already be in trouble just because they were seen with us"Nicole said "She has a point but they'll be in even more trouble if we stick around"Nami said "Yeah so let's go"Usopp said and started heading back to the ship.

"Luffy what are you doing?"Nami asked noticing Luffy was staying behind "Why are we running away?"Luffy asked "Because we're in trouble"Nami said "So what we're always in trouble"Luffy said "It's not about just us anymore if we don't leave Conis and Pagaya could get arrested too"Nami said.

"They haven't done anything, whoever arrests them is an idiot"Luffy said "I know that but"Nami trailed off "Can't you two argue on the boat come on"Usopp said "How many times do i have to tell you staying here brings more trouble for everybody!"Nami said "We're in trouble no matter what"Luffy said as the white berets appeared again.

"Save yourselves! Please go!"Conis told them "Ugh just great"Nami said "Be careful miss, if you say anything to defend these criminals i will consider you and your father accomplices these people must be punished to the full extent of the law for all the abusive language and deplorable violence, i find them guilty of fifth degree crimes in the name of all mighty Eneru you're banished to drift in the clouds for eternity"McKinley said.

"I told you it was an accident oh forget it"Nami said grabbing Luffy "Arrest them!"McKinley yelled and the white berets started attacking, however Luffy defeated them pretty quickly, Zoro, Sanji and Nicole defeated any remainders further more Nicole took this opportunity to swipe the cloud skates off the guy she defeated, she had wanted try these ever since she heard of them.

"Nami how's the money situation looking?!"Zoro called over to the navigator "Fifty thousand berries left!"Nami yelled back from the ship "Fifty thousand we're that broke?!"Zoro asked "Normally that would last us a day or two at most!"Nami yelled back.

"What's the deal why are we so poor? Listen up everybody your captain has something to say everybody needs to be more good with money from now on!"Luffy announced "So lead by example!"Sanji yelled at the rubber boy "Sorry criminals you have no chance of escape!" McKinley yelled still conscious even though he was blown into the woods.

"You should have behaved and done what i told you to do of all of the upholders of law here in Skypiea we white berets are the most lenient however they are not nearly as forgiving, congratulations you are no considered second degree criminals you can try to cry for mercy but you will all be judged by the priest of upper yard!"McKinley yelled pointing at them.
