Knock Over Giant Jack:

-x-

A massive sphere-shaped condensed thunder cloud loomed overhead above the Upper Yard. This one looked much bigger and much more powerful than the one before it. Red Eye may have saved Angel Island by destroying the first one but this massive thunderhead that Eneru called a Raigo could easily wipe out the Upper Yard and Angel Island in one fell swoop.

"Aaaahhhh!" Usopp whimpered as they stared up at the black sphere of clouds from the bottom of the beanstalk.

"Eneru..." Wyper growled.

"Damn him..." Gan Fall cursed.

"Do you see that?" Usopp wailed. "THIS ONE'S EVEN BIGGER! Maybe we should get out of here? WH-WHILE THERE'S STILL SOME PLACE TO GET!"

-x-

"YAHAHAHAHAHA!" Eneru laughed as he surveyed his massive Raigo. "SAY GOODBYE SKYPIEA!" Eneru smiled to himself, "I'm actually going to miss toying with their lives..."

-x-

Luffy, Y/N and Nami stood together on what had once been God's Shrine directly below the black sphere of thunderclouds.

"What the heck did you guys do to piss him off that badly?" Nami demanded.

"I'm pretty sure he was going to try to do this anyway," Y/N stated.

"I didn't do anything this time!" Luffy insisted. "Eneru was actually happy to see me!"

Nami turned and glared at Y/N. "What... did you do?" she growled.

"Well... the other guy... might have... cut his earlobes off..." Y/N admitted.

"YOU IDIOT!" Nami yelled. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"

"Hey, it wasn't me, it was the other guy!" Y/N insisted.

"TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY!" Nami shouted.

Y/N's eye widened and his mouth dropped open. Then he frowned and nodded his head. "You're right."

Something inside of Nami clenched. She got the strange feeling that she'd regret those words sometime soon.

"Hey guys! The ship's moving!"

They all looked up to the see the Maxim fly away from their Island Clouds and settle by the few remaining storm clouds that the golden bell was on top of.

"He's not even on board," Y/N realized.

BZZZZZT! Eneru appeared on top of the Maxim. "YAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Now he is..." Nami dead-panned.

"HOW FITTING!" Eneru bellowed. "YOU THREE GET A FRONT ROW SEAT AS I DESTROY THIS ACCURSED ISLAND IN THE SKY! YOU TRIED TO PREVENT ME FROM ACHIEVING MY DREAM OF REACHING THE ENDLESS VEARTH! NOW YOU WILL ALL PERISH ALONG WITH THIS ABOMINATION OF AN ISLAND!"

"EEENEEERUUUUUU!" Luffy yelled. He turned to Y/N and Nami. "I've gotta get up there!"

"He's too far away for even you to reach him," Y/N pointed out.

Nami stared up at Eneru's ship then looked over at the top of the beanstalk then across the clouds at her Waver. "I've got a confession to make... I haven't revved the Waver's Jet Dial engine all the way yet. I was kind of intimidated by what it could do."

"You want to drive up there on the..." Y/N trailed off. "That means we've got to..."

Nami nodded. "With Luffy's arm trapped in that ball, he can't steer it," she pointed out. "So I'm gonna have to drive him up with the Waver."

"The others are down at the bottom," Y/N stated, "I'll go pass on the message."

"Wait, what's going on?" Luffy asked. "Are you guys reading each other's minds? Is that some special ability you get when you're a couple?"

"We're not a couple," Y/N stated.

"We're not?" Nami questioned.

Y/N turned and darted over to his dropped sword. He quickly cut himself and then sheathed it. "Luffy, I'm trusting you to beat Eneru, ring that bell and keep Nami safe. Nami, I'm trusting you to get him up there so he can do it. I'll take care of the rest." Y/N ran across the clouds and grabbed the big beanstalk leaf that Luffy had saved himself with earlier then jumped off the clouds. SKISH!

Nami frowned as she stared after him then looked over at Luffy, "Do you ever get the feeling that you just made a really big mistake?"

"Well... sometimes I eat food that I know isn't mine," Luffy confessed, "I know that it belongs to other people and maybe I feel a little bad about eating it but then I forget all about that because it tastes so good when I eat it. I don't let stuff like that bother me anymore."

"Hmm..." Nami hummed. "Maybe it was just my imagination. But something told me that I'd regret letting him go off on his own just now."

"FOOLS!" Eneru yelled from overhead. "DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE THAT I'M JUST GOING STAND HERE WHILE YOU ENACT YOUR PLAN?"

BA-ZZOOOM! Lightning flashed down from the clouds in the direction that Y/N had jumped.

"HE'S GONNA GET Y/N!" Nami yelped. "WE'VE GOTTA HURRY!"

-x-

"Hey! Eneru's ship moved!" Usopp pointed out down at the bottom of the beanstalk.

"Does that mean Eneru's found the golden bell?" Robin wondered.

Usopp suddenly squinted, "Wait... something's falling! LOOK OUT!"

They all looked up to see Y/N falling out of the sky as he held the beanstalk leaf over his head like a parachute. "Heads up!" he called out. The Straw Hats and Shandians dove out of the way. PLOOOFF! Y/N slammed into the ground and tossed the leaf away from him.

"Y/N!" Usopp called out.

"Two-Voice!" Aisa cried.

"Mr. One Eye," Robin casually greeted. "Good to see you're alright."

"Wait where are Luffy and Nami?" Usopp questioned. "We need to get outta here!"

Gan Fall pushed passed Usopp then knelt in front of Y/N. "Thank you. You saved my people's homeland. That is a debt we can never repay."

"Don't thank me yet," Y/N corrected him, "We've still got another one to deal with. Luffy elected to stay behind so he could finish the job and Nami's gonna help him do it."

Zoro stood up, "What's the plan and what do you need us to do?"

"We need to cut down this beanstalk and made sure that it falls to the west," Y/N answered.

"WAIT! WHAT?" Usopp shrieked. "We've gotta get outta here!"

Zoro eyed the beanstalk then looked back at Y/N, "Just one question: which way's west?"

"YOU MEAN YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO IT?" Usopp hollered.

"Of course," Zoro answered, "It's a plan devised by Y/N and Nami to get Luffy to fight someone. Why wouldn't I support it? That can't fail."

"We can't run away Usopp," Y/N told him, "There's way too much at stake here." Y/N turned back to Zoro. "Cut the beanstalk so it falls towards Eneru's ark. Luffy and Nami are going to race up it on the Waver so they can get to Eneru."

"Lemme get this straight..." Usopp recounted, "They're gonna jump to the ark... from the falling beanstalk?"

"Do you wanna climb up there and stop Eneru?" Y/N offered.

"NOPE!" Usopp exclaimed. "LET'S LEAVE IT TO LUFFY!"

BAA-ZOOOOOOOOOMM! Before anyone could react a powerful bolt of lightning shot down out of the sky and struck Y/N. The charred pirate dropped to the ground.

-x-

"YAHAHAHA!" Eneru laughed as he held up his glowing hand. "I FINALLY GOT HIM! TAKE THAT BLUE SEA DEVIL!"

"NOO! YOU BASTARD!" Luffy yelled up a Eneru.

"Luffy, the Waver's ready!" Nami called out. "We've just got to hope that Y/N got the message to them in time!"

"NOW I'LL FINISH OFF THE REST OF THEM!" Eneru thundered.

-x-

"HERE COME SOME MORE!" Zoro shouted in warning as he scooped up Chopper. Gan Fall had already hefted Y/N onto his shoulders.

"HUUGGHH!" Wyper grunted as he grabbed Aisa and dove out of the way.

BZZOOOOM! Another bolt of lightning stuck the ground and sent Y/N's leaf flying away.

"What the..." Usopp sputtered.

"Long Nose!" Robin called out. Six arms sprouted up into the ground and launched Sanji at him.

Whap! "I got him!" Usopp said as he hefted the comatose cook onto his shoulders and jumped out of the way just as another lightning bolt struck. "WAAAAH!" BZZZOOOOOM!

"DAMN YOU ENERU!" Kiko hollered as he ran away from the beanstalk. "HE'S GOING TO DESTROY THE CLOUDS AND BLAST US DOWN TO THE RUINS!"

"EVERYONE RUN!" Zoro ordered. "GET AWAY FROM THE BEANSTALK!"

Zoro ran with Chopper, Gan Fall took Y/N, Usopp had Sanji, Wyper carried Aisa and Kiko saved himself. Robin glanced at Pierre's body then eight legs suddenly grew out from under the unconscious horse-sized bird. Robin's extra legs worked as she and Pierre ran after the others and quickly reached a patch of stone ground.

BZZZOOOOM! BZZAAAAT! Lightning continued to rain down on the clouds at the base of the beanstalk.

"I'll take care of this," Zoro resolved as he tossed Chopper over to Robin. "We've gotta carry out their plan. All I've gotta do is cut the vine down towards that ship." Zoro looked up at the massive black sphere in the sky. "Eneru's gonna wipe this land away. Luffy and Nami are the only people who can reach him before he sets that thing off."

"Go Zoro!" Usopp cheered.

"Luffy, Nami, you'd better be ready!" Zoro resolved as he drew his sword.

-x-

Eneru scowled as he used his Mantra to hear what was going on at the bottom of Giant Jack. "You fools from the Blue Sea just refuse to give up," he noted. "It's far too late to change things. The minute you entered the Survival Game your fates were cast in stone... anything you do now is futile."

-x-

SKISH! Zoro jumped to the side to avoid a bolt of lightning. BZZZZAAAT! He didn't have long to recover before he had to lunged to the side to avoid another one. BZZZZOOOOOOM! The second bolt of lightning blasted a large hole in the island clouds where Zoro had been.

"Okay... he's going to be just fine..." Usopp whimpered as he watched the swordsman rush across the clouds. "ZORO, BUDDY! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO THIS! IT'S UP TO YOU!"

BZZZZOOOM! Zoro spun to avoid another bolt of lightning that struck ahead of him. SKISH! Zoro leapt up into the air. "UGH! ENERU! I'M SO SICK OF YOU! RAAAAHHH!" Zoro reached the beanstalk and slashed his sword. SLA-SLISH! He cut a spiral in the twisted vine. BOOOM! The large twisted segment that Zoro had cut blasted out from the rest of the beanstalk.

"ALRIGHT! HE DID IT!" Usopp cheered.

But after cutting through the vine, Zoro was suddenly rendered helpless in midair which made him an easy target for Eneru's lightning. BA-ZZZOOOOOT!

"ZOOOROOOO!" Usopp screamed as the charred swordsman fell down through a hole in the island cloud towards the ruins of Shandora.

-x-

"Insolent little worm!" Eneru growled as his hand glowed.

-x-

"HE DID IT!" Usopp cheered. "HE DID IT AND GOT ZAPPED! BUT HE DID IT!"

"Oh no..." Robin gasped, "The vine..."

"It's not falling!" Usopp cried out. "But he cut it!"

Zoro's attack had only cut through one of the two twisted coils that stretched up into the sky. The other half of the beanstalk was still intact. It wasn't going to fall.

"What is that thing made out of?" Usopp asked. "It looks like a plant but it's solid as a rock!"

"Pathetic," Wyper growled. "This is what you outsiders get for butting in."

"Wyper... what are you doing?" Aisa asked.

"We Shandians are the descendants of Calgara!" Wyper stated. "Not that kid in the Straw Hat! If anybody is to ring that bell, it should rightfully be us!"

"Don't listen to him Robin!" Usopp jumped in. "He's too banged up to stop us. Besides, Nami and Luffy are counting on us! Our only priority right now is knocking that thing down!" Usopp turned to stare at the partially damaged beanstalk. "Speaking of which, Zoro's already cut halfway through the stem. It probably wouldn't take too much to cut through the rest of it."

Usopp pulled his goggles down over his eyes and drew his slingshot. "My awesome Dance of the Exploding Stars should do the trick! After just one gentle hit, even a gentle breeze will knock that thing over! Once again it's up to me! The last line of defense in our merry band! Robin, leave all the dangerous stuff to me! You tend to our fallen friends!"

Gan Fall still had Y/N slung over his shoulders. It seemed that the Sky Knight was attempting to repay his debt by ensuring Y/N's safety while he was unconscious.

Robin looked over at where Chopper, Sanji and Pierre had been set down. They were all spooned together and had the beanstalk leaf wrapped around them.

"They look like an Oak Leaf Mochi Cake," Robin remarked.

"FORWARD!" Usopp hollered as he ran across the clouds towards the beanstalk.

Robin found herself alone with Gan Fall and the three Shandians.

"About that bell," Robin spoke up, "Four hundred years ago, an explorer from my world said he stumbled upon a City of Gold. People laughed at him and called him a liar but he has a descendant today who still believes the stories and has spent years searching the Blue Sea for any evidence of the City of Gold."

"WAAH!" FWUMP! Usopp tripped and quickly turned it into a dive as he leapt out of the way of a bolt of lightning. BZZZOOOT!

Wyper recalled the story of Calgara and Noland that the Chief had once told him and turned to face Robin.

"If that golden bell can be rung," Robin continued. "Everyone will know the City of Gold is in the sky and not a myth. That's the reason Luffy's up there. Now do you understand?"

"EXPLODING STAR!" KA-BOOM! Usopp's attack exploded harmlessly on the massive beanstalk.

"Noble isn't it?" Robin asked. "Trying to vindicate a man he'd never met."

KA-BOOOM-BOOOM-BOOOM! Usopp fired off shot after shot but none of his exploding attacks did any damage to the massive beanstalk.

"He's had chances to escape," Robin told Wyper, "But he's stuck around to see this thing through." Robin smiled fondly, "That guy's nuts."

"BRILLIANT EXPLODING STAR!" KA-BOOOM! "USOPP RUBBERBAND OF DOOM!" Woing! "REGULAR EXPLODING STAR!" KA-BOOOM!

Wyper's mouth twitched. Kiko stared at Robin then looked over at him. "Wyper, what's she talking about?"

"What... what is the name of this explorer's descendant?" Wyper asked.

"Montblanc Cricket," Robin answered. "Why?"

"The name of his ancestor who came here..." Wyper said as tears streamed down his face. "Please... tell me... was it Noland?"

"How...?" Robin questioned.

"Wyper?" Aisa spoke up. "What's going on? Why are you crying?"

"Wyper, what's wrong?" Kiko inquired. "I don't understand any of this,"

Wyper turned to stare at his fellow warrior. But with the tears filling his eyes combined with all his other injuries, Wyper didn't see Kiko. The 'Sky-Kama's' long, wild pink hair became blood red. His various piercings, make up and jewelry faded and were replaced by the familiar war paint that had once adorned the Great Warrior.

"Great Warrior Calgara!" Wyper gasped. "Is this a sign from you?"

-x-

"Come Nola," Calgara said to the baby snake four hundred years ago as he led it towards the Grand Belfry in Shandora. "We'll ring the bell again today so the sound reaches the ends of the Earth! Let's send the sound you love to see our friend, Noland!"

"Julalalalala!" young Nola hissed as she followed Calgara. The young snake was eager to hear the beautiful sound of the golden bell again. "Julalalalalalal!"

JULALALALALALALA! The full grown Nola let out a loud roar as she finally woke up down in the City of Gold. The now massive four hundred year old snake slithered across the village and rammed head-first into the bottom of the beanstalk. WHAAAAM!

-x-

"Waaaahh!" Usopp yelped up above as Nola made the beanstalk and the clouds above shake. "What the...? What just did that?" Usopp didn't look down so he didn't see the massive snake slump against the bottom of the vine down in the city below him. "Guess it doesn't matter. 'Cause it couldn't even budge that beanstalk."

Kiko went wide eyed as Wyper grabbed his shoulders.

"Calgara!" Wyper called out. "The descendant of your best friend is waiting in the Blue Sea! He's waiting for it! The ringing of your golden bell! It's time we rewarded his patience!"

Wyper turned away from the startled Kiko and crossed the Island Clouds then shoved Usopp out of the way. "Move." The injured and delirious Shandian climbed up the remaining half of the damaged beanstalk and knelt on top of it. He placed his bandaged hand down on the vine and then put his other hand down on top of it. "REJECT!" BZZOOOOOOOOMM!

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?" Usopp yelped.

"WYPER!" Aisa cried.

"DAMN HIM!" Kiko growled, "That's the third time he's used that Reject Dial today! Someone's gotta take that from him before he kills himself!"

"That fool!" Gan Fall gasped. "A Reject Dial!"

"Hey old man... what's a Reject Dial?" Gan Fall looked over and saw that Y/N was awake.

"You're awake, young friend!" Gan Fall exclaimed.

Y/N nodded. "I couldn't afford to stay unconscious for long."

Wyper's third usage of the Reject Dial blasted a hole into the remaining side of Giant Jack. It also blasted him off of the vine and he fell down into Shandora through the same hole Zoro had.

"NOW FALL GIANT JACK!" Wyper thought as he fell downward. "FALL!"

With a large hole now going through both of the twisted lengths of the beanstalk, Giant Jack toppled to the side and finally started to fall.

Usopp ran away from the falling beanstalk. "GUYS! WE'VE GOT TO RUN AWAY!"

-x-

Vrrrooom! Vrrroooom! Vrrrroooom! Nami revved the engine of her Waver. "THIS IS IT!" she called out. "GET ON LUFFY!"

Luffy jumped on the Waver behind Nami and wrapped his good arm around her. "Got it! Go!"

"Let's see how fast this Waver's Jet Dial can go when I rev it to maximum speed," Nami said. "Guess we're gonna find out now if it'll be too strong for me to control, huh?"

"GO FOR IT NAMI!" Luffy encouraged her.

"OKAY!" Nami replied. VVRRROOOOOM! "EEEYAAH!" The Waver took off at full speed as they raced across the clouds towards the beanstalk and then started to speed up it. They dragged the bold ball up behind them as they raced up the top of the now-falling beanstalk.

-x-

Across the White White Sea, the Skypieans and the Shandians watched as the beanstalk that towered over Upper Yard fell to the west towards Eneru's Ark.

"ITS FALLING!"

"What's... going on up there?"

"Is it the Savior?"

-x-

"Well, Nami, Luffy, good luck," Usopp said as he stood with the others at the edge of the forest. "We're counting on you! If we let this place be destroyed, we'll never get to ring that bell and Cricket will never hear it! He helped us so we gotta help him! Ring that bell and ring it loud! Jump to Eneru's ship and stop that guy! DO IT! EVERYTHING'S UP TO YOU GUYS NOW! YOU GOT IT?"

"DO IT!" Aisa cheered along with Usopp.

-x-

VRRROOOOOOOOOMMM! Luffy and Nami sped along the falling beanstalk towards Eneru.

"Now why can't you wait for the completion of Raigo like the rest of the insects?" Eneru mused as he stood on top of his ark. "Their impatience will be their undoing! Very well then..."

BZZZZZT! Eneru's body sparked and he shot lighting up into the thunderclouds above him. The lightning moved through the dark clouds to the pointed above the falling beanstalk and shot down at Luffy and Nami. BAA-ZZOOOOM-ZOOOOOOOM!

"AAAAHH!" Nami yelped as they continued at their high speed and struggled to avoid the bolts of lightning. "SOMETHING'S COMING!"

"DON'T SLOW DOWN!" Luffy shouted. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF WHATEVER IT IS!"

A face made out of lightning flashed up overhead before it became a bolt and shot down at Luffy and Nami. They weaved to the side and managed to avoid it. BAA-ZOOOOOOOOM!

"THAT SHOT WAS PATHETIC!" Luffy yelled up at Eneru.

"Yahahahahaha!" Eneru laughed. "That you should even try to reach me now is insolent far beyond the point of stupidity. Now pay for your folly! MAMARAGAN!"

Eneru raised his hand over his head and clenched it which caused another shower of powerful lightning bolts to pummel Upper Yard.

Nami narrowed her eyes, "That creep! He's trying to destroy the base of the beanstalk!"

"Ahhh!" Luffy gasped. "DO SOMETHING NAMI!"

"Like what!" Nami retorted. "We're going too fast and we're too high up! If this thing loses its foundation, it'll crash before we get to the top! We won't reach Eneru and we'll fall to our deaths!"

-x-

The Skypieans watched from a distance as lightning continued to rain down on Upper Yard.

"UPPER YARD'S BEING PUMMELED! THIS IS THE END!"

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SAVIOR?"

-x-

"LUUFFFYYYYYY!" Usopp shouted as bolts of lightning obliterated the Island Clouds around the falling beanstalk.

-x-

WHAM! Luffy lashed out his good arm and deflected a bolt of lightning from him and Nami.

"Yahahahahaha!" Eneru laughed in amusement. "Lightning may not harm you but your attacks are useless if you can not reach Maxim! Now fall and face destruction with the rest of Skypiea! SAY GOODBYE BOY! YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Luffy glared up at the laughing God as the continued to race up the beanstalk.

-x-

Miracle on Skypiea:

-x-

The Skypieans watched as the lightning shower picked up and the powerful bolts continually rained down on the island.

"Upper Yard... is crumbling..."

-x-

"LUUUFFYYYY! NAAAMIIIII!" Usopp screamed as the lightning shot down all around them.

-x-

VVVVVRRRRRRRMMMMM... Nami weaved the Waver frantically up the falling beanstalk.

"YOU KNOW!" Nami called back to Luffy, "I THINK HE'S TRYING TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET NEAR HIM AGAIN!"

"Too bad!" Luffy growled. "He's mine!"

-x-

BZZZOOOT! BZZOOOOM! Lightning bolts blasted the Island Clouds above Shandora.

"HE'S BLASTING AWAY THE CLOUD COVER!" Usopp exclaimed.

"He plans to destroy the ground itself!" Gan Fall realized.

"But Wyper's lying on the ground down there!" Aisa reminded everyone.

"So is Zoro!" Usopp added. "THAT BASTARD!"

BZZZZOOOOOOM! KROOOOM! A large chunk of stone ruin was blasted off by a powerful bolt of lightning. Shandora started to crumble under the onslaught of lightning bolts.

"The ruins..." Robin said.

-x-

"It won't work Eneru..." Wyper mumbled as he laid on the ground in his crumbling homeland. "This city will never fall to you."

Wyper staggered up to his feet. "This land of Shandora was home to a proud race of warriors. This ancient city preserves and protects their memory. Once more, their memory protects this city. That mighty power will never fall to you! No matter how much forest you burn!"

Lightning continued to rain down around him but Wyper stood firm. "This land... won't fall!"

-x-

"AAAHH! WYPER!" Aisa screamed.

Kiko grabbed her and held her back. "It's too dangerous Aisa."

"NOOO! LEMME GO!" Aisa cried.

"Wyper will be fine," Kiko told her. "He's the descendant of the Great Warrior Calgara. He won't fall. And neither will our city."

-x-

"There, I can still hear the little fools whining down below," Eneru remarked as he held his hand to his ear. "Yahahahahahaha!" Bzzzztzzzzztt! Eneru extended his hand and sent a powerful blast of lightning down from overhead and completed covered Upper Yard. BAAZZOOOOOOOM!

The Skypieans and Conis looked on in shock as Upper Yard was bathed in white light from Eneru's powerful lightning attack.

But when the light faded and the smoke cleared... UPPER YARD WAS STILL THERE!

"The Vearth..." Gan Fall mused to himself, "Of course."

The cloud covering over Shandora had been completely removed which left the city exposed. But the hard earth soil had withstood Eneru's lightning yet again and remained intact.

-x-

"It didn't fall!" a Skypiean gasped. "Upper Yard... IS STILL STANDING!"

"Its power is unbelievable!" a Shandian gasped.

-x-

"..." Eneru stared down at Upper Yard in annoyance.

-x-

"It must be..." Gan Fall thought to himself. "The Vearth is so powerful!" Gan Fall gathered up a handful of the dirt and let it sprinkle down through his fingers. "What fools we've been! It was never something to be fought over! We've spilled so much blood... and lost so many countless lives! HOW COULD WE BE SO BLIND FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS!?"

"WYPER!" Aisa continued to scream as Kiko held her back.

Now that the clouds were gone they could clearly see him standing in Shandora as he stared up at the falling beanstalk.

"WAAAAAHH!" Usopp screamed when he realized that the beanstalk was now falling TOWARDS THEM! "GET OUT OF THERE! THE BEANSTALK'S COMING DOWN! THIS WAY! LET'S MOVE IT! MOVE IT!"

"NOW GO!" Wyper silently encouraged Luffy before he openly shouted. "GO! STRAW HAT!"

-x-

VVVRROOOOOOMMM! Nami and Luffy had finally reached the top of the falling beanstalk.

"HERE I COME, ENERU!" Luffy shouted.

"Those fools never learn..." Eneru muttered.

"I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS AND RING THAT BELL!" Luffy hollered.

"That's enough!" Eneru growled. He extended his hand up towards the black thunderhead that he'd been charging up all this time. "The Raigo's ready!" BZZZZT! Eneru sent one last blast of lighting up into the black sphere. "NOW DISAPPEAR ALONG WITH THIS LAND! RAIGO!"

Eneru swung his hand downward and the Upper Yard was bathed in bright light as the Raigo began to lower towards the island.

VRRRROoooomm... The Waver flew off the beanstalk and the Jet Dial engine finally gave out.

"Thanks, for you help," Luffy told Nami. "IT WON'T BE FOR NOTHING!" SKISH! Luffy jumped up off of the Waver as it started to fall downward.

"WAAAAH!" Nami screamed as she fell back down towards God's Shine. "LUFFY, WAIT! THE ARK'S OVER THERE!"

PLOOOF! Nami landed hard on the soft clouds and looked up in horror when she saw that instead of going for Eneru on the Maxim, Luffy had jumped up TOWARDS THE RAIGO!

"NO! DON'T DO IT!" Nami shouted. "THE AIR CURRENT AND LIGHTNING DISCHARGES IN THERE COULD KILL EVEN YOU!"

Up overhead, Eneru glowed white as he grinned smugly at Luffy, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO AGAINST THIS KIND OF POWER, MAN OF RUBBER? YAHAHAHAHA!"

"RAAAAAHHHH!" Luffy roared as he flew up into the bottom of the black sphere. BZZZZTT!

"YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Eneru laughed as his Raigo descended on the Upper Yard. "YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Down below, Giant Jack finished its call and crashed down on Upper Yard. THOOOOOOM!

-x-

Inside the black Raigo, Luffy swung the gold ball on his arm wildly around him.

"GUUUUUMMMM... GUUUUUUUMMMM... FIIIIIIREEEEEWOOOOORRRKS! GOOOOOLDEEEEEN PEEEEOOOOOONYYYYYY! RRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

-x-

Everyone outside the Raigo stared in shock at it started to spark erratically. BZZZTBZZZZZT!

-x-

"YOU AND YOUR THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!" Luffy snapped as he flailed the golden ball around inside the Raigo. "WE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO SKYPIEA AND YOU HAD TO COME ALONG AND RUIN THE WEATHER, YOU ELECTRICAL FREAK!"

-x-

Nami held her arm up over her head to shield her eyes from the brightly sparking Raigo.

"What's with... all the crazy lightning bolts?" she wondered.

"I forgot," Eneru realized, "That golden bell stuck on his arm is a natural conductor!"

"Well then," Eneru resolved, "I'll just drop it before you can discharge the electricity!" BZZZZTT! The Raigo continued to sparkas Eneru swung his arm down again and caused it to pick up speed. "LET EVERYTHING BE DESTROYED!"

-x-

"Captain McKinley, please stop it!" one of the White Berets pleaded. "This is God's Land! Its pointless!"

The Captain of the White Berets was on his knees with his hands clasped together in prayer.

"I don't care if its pointless," McKinley replied. "It's the only thing people can do when they're caught between life and death. A miracle saved our homes. Now all we can do is pray for another one that will save our lives. Praying is all that we can do."

-x-

Conis stared at the descending sphere in terror. Then she remembered something Gan Fall had said after he'd rescued her from God's Judgment and brought her to his house.

"The song of the island," Gan Fall said as he watered his patch of green pumpkins, "When our ears hear that again. The war will have ended."

"I wonder..." Conis confided in her Cloud Fox, "Are we all doomed? Maybe... if I'd had the courage to stand up to Eneru... our friends would have been spared all this... Oh Suu... Does God exist? If He does... why doesn't He save us?"

"Suu..." Suu cooed as she crawled into Conis' lap.

"Please..." Conis prayed, "If You do exist... YOU MUST PROTECT THOSE PEOPLE AND KEEP THEM SAFE! PLEASE! GIVE US A MIRACLE! PROTECT THIS LAND!"

All around the Upper Yard, the Skypieans and Shandians clasped their hands in prayer as they all prayed for a miracle.

-x-

BZZZZT! BZZZZT! BZZZZZT!

Their miracle came in the form of a rubber pirate.

"RRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Luffy roared as he continued to flail the gold ball around him.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The air current and the lightning charges inside the Raigo had been disrupted by Luffy's constant flailing and they burst outward.

A large crack formed and went all the way up the massive Raigo.

"CLEEAAAR THEEE SKYYYYYY!" Luffy hollered.

The one crack grew and spread across the black sphere. And then it exploded.

-x-

The Love Song in the Clouds:

-x-

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The Raigo exploded up in the air and bathed the sky in white light that blew away all the black storm clouds and caused the warm, bright rays of sunlight to shine down on Skypiea.

"That mass of thunder clouds has vanished!" a Shandian pointed out.

"What could have happened?" a Skypiean wondered.

"We've been saved again!"

"Ah..." McKinley gasped in shock.

"Oh!" Conis let out a cry of surprise.

"..." Nami silently gaped as she stared upward at the blue sky filled with peaceful white clouds.

"YAAAAAAHHHH!" Luffy shouted as he dropped down out of the blue sky.

"HE DID IT!" Usopp cheered. "YA-YEAH! YA-YEAH! YA-YEAH! GO LUFFY!"

Y/N smiled as he stared upward next to Robin, "That's our Captain."

"Luffy's incredible..." Robin admitted.

Y/N grinned as he turned to look at her. "You just called him by his name. You don't call any of us by our names."

"I... he's the Captain," Robin pointed out. "And he just saved all our lives."

"NOW RING IT STRAW HAT!" Wyper shouted. "LIGHT THE FIRE OF SHANDORA!"

"GO LUFFY! GO LUFFY!" Usopp continued to cheer and now waved flags.

"Let me hear it Straw Hat!" Gan Fall exclaimed, "The sound of the island!"

"WAAAAAAAHHHH!" Luffy shouted as he dropped down out of the sky. He stretched his trapped arm out behind his back and twisted it up like a corkscrew.

"You... destroyed My Raigo!" Eneru growled. "INSOLENT BLUE SEA APE!"

"YOU'RE NEXT!" Luffy shouted. "I'LL RING YOU ALONG WITH THE BELL!"

"IMPUDENT FOOL!" Eneru snapped. His body glowed white and started to expand and grow. "TWO HUNDRED MILLION VOLTS AAAMAAARUUU!"

On top of the Maxim, Eneru's body had transformed into a huge, white, hulking beast made of pure electricity. He'd transformed into a Raijin one of the Thunder Gods of legend.

"What the hell is that?" Luffy exclaimed.

"Ring the bell?" giant Eneru snarled. "Is that what you said? You must be one of those fools that believes in the old legend that when the bell rings it will mean the end of the war between Skypiea and Shandora! I AM GOD!"

BZZZZOOOOOOM! Eneru sent a massive blast of lightning at Luffy from his giant arm.

"I DON'T CARE HOW STRONG YOU ARE!" Eneru shouted. "YOU'RE STILL JUST A PARAMECIA TYPE! YOU COULD NEVER MATCH THE MIGHT OF MY LOGIA POWER! NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY! NO MATTER WHAT YOU MIGHT DO!"

The light from Eneru's monster blast faded and Luffy dropped out of the sky and landed on Eneru's giant hand then started to run up Eneru's arm. "THAT WON'T WORK ON ME! AND QUIT CALLING YOURSELF GOD! WHAT KIND OF GOD DESTROYS EVERYTHING AND SAVES NOTHING? FAAAAAKEEEEE!"

THWHAM! Luffy reached Eneru's shoulder and kicked him in the face. His rubber foot smacked hard into the lightning monster's face and snapped its head to the side.

Luffy flew off Eneru's should and started to swing his twisted arm. SHUNK!

"AAAARRRGGHH!" Luffy screamed as he held the prong of a golden trident.

"Well done rubber boy," Eneru remarked, "Very agile of you! You grabbed it before you could be completely impaled!"

"LUFFY!" Nami shrieked from down below on God's Shrine. She looked up at the gold ball that was stretched out far behind Luffy as he dangled the trident in Eneru's massive hand like he was a piece of meat on a dinner fork.

"But what will you do now?" Eneru taunted. "You have nowhere to run! The pull of the golden ball on your arm will draw you deeper and deeper onto my trident! And if you should let go, you'll fall to your death below!"

"AAUUGGHH!" Luffy wailed as he held onto the still burning and freshly form gold trident.

"I'll admit, I'm impressed you made it this far," Eneru stated. "But this is the end for you, boy! And this land! Everything! I can easily create another Raigo!"

"Grrrr..." Luffy growled his skin seared and burned as he held onto the gold trident.

He thought back to all the pain and misery that Eneru had brought on the Sky Island.

"It's the duty of every citizen on the island..." Conis cried as she knelt in front of Luffy, Usopp and Sanji after warning them about God's Judgment. "I'm so very sorry..."

Luffy and Aisa stood at the edge of a hole and stared down at Wyper's charred body. "Will the sky island... really be destroyed?" Aisa had asked as tears ran down her face.

SWISH! Luffy flipped off of Eneru's trident and started to drop.

"So you prefer to fall, do you?" Eneru questioned. "Yahahahahahaha!"

Nami gasped in shock as Luffy dropped down passed God's Shrine. "LUFFY NO!"

WHAP! But Luffy's hand shot back up and grabbed the edge of the white cloud.

"NAMI! GET OUTTA THE WAY!" Luffy ordered. "HURRY!"The gold ball had stretched far down below him as he held onto the edge of the white cloud. "RRAAAAAHHH!"

"WHAT'S THIS?" Eneru demanded.

"YOU SHOULD NEVER MESS WITH ME!" Luffy bellowed. "NO-LOBES! NOW GUUUUUUMMMM... GUUUUUUUUMMMM..." Luffy twisted his trapped arm again as the winded the gold ball up to him then shot himself upward with his other arm. "ROOOCKEEET! SHOOOOOOOM! Luffy flew up over the white cloud and raced up into the air towards Eneru.

Luffy swung his twisted arm and the gold ball out behind him as he drew level with Eneru. "GUUUUUUUUMMMMM... GUUUUUUUUMMMMM..."

"Are you going to try that same old trick again?" Eneru taunted.

"I'LL KEEP TRYING 'TILL THE BELL RINGS!" Luffy hollered.

SHINK! Eneru brought up a second trident and crossed the two in front of him. "THIS TIME I'LL SKEWER YOU, FOOL!"

"GOOOOOOLLLDEEEEEEEENNNN... RRRRIIIIIIIIFLLLEEEEEEEEEE!"

Eneru's eyes widened in shock as Luffy's twisted arm and the gold bell shot towards him.

"Too fast!"

KER-WHAAAMM! The gold ball and Luffy's fist smashed straight through Eneru's guard and blasted the giant lightning monster backwards off the top of the ark. Luffy's fist continued to race forward and whizzed across the white clouds to the golden bell.

"When you finally return... what will you think when you see we're gone?" Calgara thought to himself as he and the other Shandian Warriors tried to fight off the Sky God and his Enforcers. "Hold on a little longer, I'll let you know that we're still here! NOLAND! LIGHT THE FIRE OF SHANDORA!"

Wyper, Aisa, Kiko and the other Shandians stared up at the sky.

"The war in the sky began four hundred years ago," the Chief recited. "I didn't think I'd live... to see this moment..."

"..." down in Shandora, a tear ran down Nola's face.

"Yes," Gan Fall had said in Conis' memory. "The Holy Land will sing once more! Someday it will!"

Conis, McKinley and the other Skypieans stared up at the sky in shock.

Usopp continued to cheer and wave his flags while Y/N, Robin, Aisa, Kiko and Gan Fall stared up into the air from the edge of the forest.

Sanji and Chopper groaned as they finally woke up and sat up.

Down in Shandora, Zoro pushed himself up off of the ground.

"Six years ago, on the island of Jaya in the Grand Line, I saw the City of Gold," Noland professed as knelt on the execution platform with his hands bound behind him. "This City of Gold, does exist!"

"Not one person in history has ever dis-proven the existence of Sky Island," Cricket had told Luffy once he had agreed to help him reach the sky. "I'm a romantic! Just like you!"

"LEEEET IIIIIIT RIIIIIIINNNGG!" Luffy shouted as his fist, the gold ball and Eneru slammed into the side of the golden bell. WHAAAAAAM! The gold ball shattered against Eneru's body as he was slammed into the gold bell.

"HEY POPS! CAN YOU HEAR IT? THE CITY OF GOLD IS HERE! FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS... THE CITY OF GOLD... HAS BEEN IN THE SKY!"

DONG!
