AN:- I DO APOLOGISE FOR NOT UPLOADING THIS Chapter YEATERDAY, SINCE I HAD SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES. ANYWAYS, HOPE YOU LIKE Chapter 19.
[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]
"It is "Black Arm" Zephyr!" everybody except Luffy and Chopper Flinches, knowing who the person coming towards us is. the figure looks visible now, and Luffy, somehow realizing the stakes, Bites his thumb and breathes in-
"Gear-2-" but it is too late as Zephyr is already at attacking Range. my Brain Goes overtime, i hear the sound of expansion, but my eyes focus on Zephyr throwing a punch-
*BOOM*
"ARGHHHH!!" Usopp screams in horror, his body getting violently thrown out of the ship, not just Usopp, but other members too such as Nami, Sanji, Zoro, Bentham and Luffy.
"HOLD ME!" Thankfully, My Mind is calm enough to formulate a plan for our current situation. i scream an order to Robin, who regains her composer and uses one of her hand to summon Petals which forms her hands, while the other hand is grabbing onto the Railing of the ship-
and as for the ship, it is flying in the air, riding the KnockUp Stream. The same second Zephyr almost threw a punch, the Knock Up Steam happened, Sending our ship flying in the air. but, since no one was ready for it as all of us were afraid (except Me, Sanji, Zoro and Bentham) of Zephyr coming and attacking us, they were not properly able to balance themselves when the stream hit, sending them flying out of the ship.
'Mana Rope'
MANA ROPE - ACTIVE - (Lv1) (EXP - 33.3%) (MP-2)
DESCRIPTION:-
Mana Rope can be manipulated according to the user's wish, and since it is made of mana it can even affect objects or creatures of indeterminable form. Can only be used by those who have a talent in manipulating mana.
with Robin's arms grabbing me in the legs to keep my feet in the ground and my hips to balance me, i am able to move my arms freely, where i use my Skill
"AGHHH- UGH!" Nami screams, her tears brushing past her while Her hand tries to reach the ship, also while Gravity is against her, pushing her back to the sea. She feels something attach to her and suddenly, she gets yanked to the side, colliding with the flying ship.
Similarly to her, Bentham, Chopper, Usopp, Sanji, Zoro and Luffy are all grabbed by the rope and then get yanked to the ship's side, colliding with it face-first. The weight of everyone makes me lose my grip, sending me tumbling forward. Robin tries to hold onto me, but she cannot concentrate on holding herself with one hand while holding me with another, so in a split second decision-
She removes her hold against Merry and crosses her hand, clutching it and spreading new appendages, grabbing me and stabilizing me. I look over in shock, before My Gamer's Mind comes in clutch, and along with <MULTI TASKING> Skill, create another Mana Rope and grab onto Robin who is thrown out of the ship due to the wind pressure.
"Ughhhh!" i try to pull all 8 people back into the ship, but I cannot do it since not only the wind pressure is making it difficult, Luffy's Giant Stretching Arm makes it near impossible for me to Lift Luffy.
"LUFFY!!! RELEASE THE AIR!!!" I scream at him, and at first I don't know if he is able to listen to me or not, but I feel a big weight being lifted on one of the Mana Ropes forming out of my hands, meaning that Luffy successfully removes the air he inhaled into his arms before.
Still, the Wind Pressure is enormous, making it completely difficult for me to pull all 8 of my crewmates back to the ship with my Current Strength-
wait.
'Put All Stat Points Into Strength-'
STR:- 87
Stat Points:- 0
I activate my <ONE-MAN ARMY> Skill, registering all 8 members and getting a 80% boost in my physical stats, raising my Strength to-
STR:- 149.6
Even after Reaching the 100 Mark In STR, I am unable to completely list them, but not panicking, I try a different method, something I never tried, but thought of before.
Mana is an energy That allows me to change the laws of reality, depending on the spell and the amount of Mana used. Skills Like Creating I.D. allow me to enforce a dimension upon reality that could stop time. so, The Potential of Using Mana is almost Limitless, but the way I use it matters. like this-
Remembering the feeling of Using Mana through My skills
The mana that seeps out of my body through various pores all connect with it to each other, making me covered with Mana. I feel the increase in strength, and knowing I am successful, I spin my arm while holding onto the Mana Ropes, tying myself with them, and pulling it towards me with all of my enhanced strength.
a pop up screen appears, but i ignore it while i put more and more mana into enhancing my strength, finally making progress as i pull all my crewmates near the railings. With a final pull, Zoro, Bentham, Sanji and Robin grab Onto the Railing.
Zoro grabs onto Luffy, Robin immediately sends more limbs to grab Nami, While Bentham Holds Chopper with his feet, leaving Sanji to try and grab onto Usopp, who is trashing in the air, giving his life up to the world-
Sanji kicks the ship to boost himself, making me lose the Rope grabbing him, he grabs onto Usopp, who frails madly, crying his eyes out while trying to pull himself with my Rope. While I don't feel the strain of pushing my body to the limits due to Both Gamer's Mind and Gamer's Body, it becomes doubly difficult to hold onto all the Ropes.
"CUT IT!" Zoro gives an order, and i deactivate all the ropes except the One which is holding Usopp, i put both my hands on it while Supplying Mana to it, while also enhancing my Strength at the same time. More appendages form from my body, holding me to the ship. I pull The Mana Rope with all of my Strength, and finally-
"Ughh!!" Sanji grabs onto the Railings, making me sigh in relief and deactivate My Mana Rope skill and whatever the enhanced ability is (i might have gotten it as a skill, who knows?) and turn to see all members grabbing onto the Ship with their dear Life. i look over to the other ship-
'OH YOU FUCKING MONKEYS' I Scream in my head, but knowing that these Monkeys are important to Cricket, so i activate my Mana Rope again and send it towards the Monkey's that are holding onto their Ship for dear life. I wrap the Rope around them and-
"THE SHIP IS GONNA FALL IF WE CONTINUE LIKE THIS!" Zoro screams while looking onwards, and as he said, the Ship is gonna shoot out of the Knock Up Stream that it is riding and start twirling back to the ocean below. I look at Nami, who in the canon timeline is the person who had the answer to-
"WAHHH!!" She is holding on for dear Life, crying her heart out. are you fucking kidding me? REALLY? AT A TIME LIKE THIS IS WHERE SHE WANTS TO CRY HER HEART OUT-
"RAI, DO SOMETHING!" Sanji Screams at me, and i snap back to the situation instead of cursing Nami, i look Upwards to the Mast, where the MainSail is located, i think for a moment on how to release it, and then look at Robin, who is clutching both The Railing and Nami too. She looks at me and I look at the Sail again, screaming my lungs out.
"ROBIN, OPEN THE SAIL!!" For a couple of seconds, Robin doesn't move, before releasing Nami and Clutching her hand, creating a supplementary hand to open the Main Sail in the Mast. She opens it, and the Ship takes up speed. I Notice the other two ships doing the same in just a couple of seconds-
"AHHHH!!!" Nami screams, almost losing her grip on the railings, Thankfully Robin Uses her 'hands' to grab onto Nami and connect her to the Ship's Railings-
"RAI, THE SHIP IS MOVING OUT OF THE STREAM!" Cricket, holding on a speaker shouts at us, making me look at him in shock, before i calm down and try to think-
"DAMN IT! OI OKAMA! GRAB THIS LONG NOSE FOR ME!" Saying that, Sanji tosses Usopp to Bentham, who is already hand's full with grabbing onto the Railings. Usopp screams in horror, but gets a Leg-Shin to the gut, making him almost unconscious while Bentham grabs onto him with his Legs, just like Chopper.
"RAI, GRAB LUFFY!" seeing Sanji run towards the front of the ship, Zoro seemingly gets the same idea as Sanji, and tosses Luffy at me before i could een react, making me miss him and Luffy goes back down and-
'ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?' I cross my hands, transfering my Roep to my Left while moving my Right hand towards the falling Luffy, extending a rope and thankfully, grabbing his shrunken Legs before he falls out of the ship.
both Sanji and Zoro reach in front of the ship, right near the Head of the Merry, they Jump, letting the wind carry them for just a second before yanking themselves down and slamming their foot into the Front Deck of the Merry, Pushing the ship downwards, right where the Stream ends, letting us connect back to the Stream and-
"YAHOO!!" Luffy, who is barely holding on due to me holding him using my Mana Rope, Screams in joy, his voice childish. Thankfully, I don't need to grab on the ropes any more as the monkeys are brought back to the ship while I use my strength to pull Luffy onto the deck, along with all of the other crew Members pulling themselves back to the deck.
Luffy stretches his tiny arms to the head of the Mery, slinging himself to its front and grabbing onto it, being in the front seat of this spectacle. He laughs excitedly, grabbing onto the Head of The Merry while all of us, me included, grab onto the Railings and see the clouds coming closer and closer.
'she should have been the one to do this' while i might understand why Nami couldn't take command of the situation, doesn't mean that i can't be annoyed by it. She comes through the situation in life and death, but Now she is a crying mess, well, WAS a crying Mess. She is just focused on holding onto The Railings.
"WE ARE REACHING THE CLOUDS!!" Luffy screams, before inhaling some air, which inflates his body to its normal size before holding his breath, and we all brace for impact, Usopp screaming to whomever can hear him to save his life. the Ships collide with the Clouds and come out of it, all hearing a cracking and breaking sound. the blast into the Clouds almost drowns everyone, but we eventually come out of it-
and each ship lands on a cloud which is hardened. my Brain being calm is a good thing as I can properly see around us, while the rest of the crew as well as the other members of the other two ships try to incorporate and get their brain working. After a minute, all of us (including the other ship members) finally are able to comprehend where we are.
"WOW!!" Luffy screams in excitement, while all of us look around excitedly, even Usopp, who almost drowned and Chopper has no other choice but to stop his sightseeing and give Usopp some much needed CPR, rejuvenating him.
"What kind of place is this?" Nami just couldn't believe her eyes, day after day, her common sense is getting mauled by the situation they are in regularly. She didn't believe there was a Sky Island since she never thought that Clouds would be hardened, but this breathtaking view destroys her senses. She looks over to the Log Pose, noticing it still pointing upwards.
"it....IT is real!" We all turn to look over to the other ship, where Cricket has the biggest smile we have ever seen him have. Luffy chuckles, while all of us smile, happy that Cricket got the peace he wanted. Since The Clouds are hardened, proving that Sky Island is real, that means that the other half of Jaya is also real, and as I said, it must be in Sky Island.
"Hey, it is still showing upwards." Nami asks me, finally calming down from her panic attack and showing me her log pose, i just shrug at her, giving a normal answer-
"it means we still haven't reached our destination" She nods, and then looks for the way out, instantly starting to figure things out. Usopp Chuckles, and all of us turn to look at him. Usopp is not wearing his shirt, letting us see his lean figure with Six packs. lol, Usopp being the weakest but still has 6 Packs-
"I wanna check just how similar this place is to the ocean." He gets ready to jump, but I stop him, knowing the outcome of what he is going to do.
"There isn't any ground here, if you start swimming, you will fall deeper into the Ocean and come from outside the cloud, and fall 7,000 Meters to the seas. you still wanna do it?" I raised my eyebrow, amused to see him literally teleport away from the railing in fear. Whenever he is doing something in fear, his physical stats rise up tremendously. The example being when he blitzed Kuzan to run away with Robin.
"Yeah, No Thanks." he tries to be brave, but fails miserably when his legs almost give out. Chopper uses the binoculars which he asks from me to look around the place, interested in any creatures that are able to survive in this atmosphere. while I notice something interesting.
I have two New skills, and 2 skill Level up screens.
MARTIAL REINFORCEMENT - ACTIVE - (Lv1) (EXP - 32.8%) (MP -10 Per Second)
DESCRIPTION:-
This skill enhances the User by using his mana to reinforce his physical abilities, particularly his strength and durability. It converts his mana into raw physical power, enabling him to deal much more damage with physical strikes while also toughening his body to take less damage from incoming attacks.
10 per second? IF My Current Mana Regen is 400% of my base MP, then-
HOLY SHIT! I can keep continuing to use THis new skill endlessly as my Mana regenerates itself per minute. This skill is just a hack right now, with my MP regen Per Minute being more than My total MP itself.
I look over to My MP on my HUD, seeing it Completely full. God damn, I am OP as Fuck.
I check the other skill i got-
BALANCED -PASSIVE- (Lv5) (EXP -67%)
DESCRIPTION:-
This skill passively enhances the user's ability to maintain perfect equilibrium in both stationary and dynamic situations, making it extremely hard to knock off balance and improving fluidity in movement. The ability allows controlled body position while performing a task, whether it's sitting, walking, or climbing.
A skill that passively fixes my balance whenever I slip up during a fight? This is awesome as shit. The biggest difficulty when fighting is focusing on your steps while dodging attacks. But with this skill, I won't need to focus on stepping on the downed enemies if I ever fight a group again.
My Footwork skill might raise automatically as my body automatically adjusts itself during a fight. Damn man, I am getting OP skills after OP Skills.
Anyways, The skills that have leveled up are:-
1. MANA ROPE - ACTIVE - (Lv9) (EXP - 43%) (MP-2)
2. MULTI-TASKING -PASSIVE- (Lv22) (EXP-7%)
Nice, free level Ups. Though, pulling my Crew back to the ship was a really difficult task, even with the 80% boost in physical stats-
Shit, I could have also added the Saruyama Alliance for my stat boost, but I kinda forgot about them for a second, but I still got two OP Skills in return. All is good-
"What is that?" Chopper speaks up, pointing to a smoke rising up in the air a couple of distance away, and that's when I feel Both BloodLust and Danger coming towards us.
My body shifts into a combat position while I think of a way to deal with- oh wait. The person that is coming towards us is-
*ZROOM*
A Man with a shield and a bazooka riding some kind of skates jumps upon Merry, Going towards our Strongest fighters, Zoro grabs his Sword and stands in a position to use his Flying slash-
"OI, DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE NAMED MONTBLANC NOLAND?" The figure literally puts the breaks in his 'surfing' and looks at me ( I think he is looking at me?) Zoro still grabs onto his sword, but Knowing me by now, he figures I have a plan.
".....How do you know that Name?" The figure points his Bazooka at me, and Luffy is ready to Pounce at the figure, but is held back by Sanji, who knows I can turn the situation around, since I seem to know what I am doing.
"So You DO Know about him huh? We DID read his Log Book which states that he met people who had Wings connected to their backs, similar to you." I point towards the Wings that are attached to the figure, but this doesn't get any reaction out of him, but I DID get a reaction-
"Wait, you mean-" I grin, and point towards Our own Montblanc over there, who is widening his eyes in realization. The figure looks over to Cricket ( I think?) and I speak up, continuing my 'act'.
"The person over there is the Descendant of Montblanc Noland, His name is Montblanc Cricket and he is here to verify if his ancestor was truthful after all." This causes the figure's entire body to shift. The figure completely ignores us and move towards Cricket, who is staring deep into The figure-
Ahh, what the hell. I can't keep saying the figure as the 'figure', I'll just call him by his name, Wyper.
Wyper removes his mask, showing his face to all of us, while he deeply stares into Cricket's eyes. Wyper is a tall, muscular Shandia, and as such, sports a pair of little wings on his back. He's covered by various tribal tattoos across his left shoulder and the left side of his face. He has very long dark brown hair arranged in a mohawk that follows into a segmented braid that goes slightly past his waist.
"You-" Wyper almost says something, before he looks up, along with Zoro, Sanji and Luffy, to see a new arrival to the situation. I look up too, to see something with wings coming over to us-
"I-is that a Horse?" Usopp is a little scared, but he grips his slingshot, while all of us keep calm, since no one can sense any type of Bloodlust from the being who is coming towards us.
The Person in question is Gan Fall, the previous God of Sky Island and riding a horse- thing. It looks worse than a horse could ever look. Gan Fall is an old man of average height with long white hair, mustache, and beard. He wears metal armor with a dark red shirt, and brown pants. He also has the knight's visor always pulled up and wears a long dark blue cloak that is yellow on the inside and at the back.
The horse that Gan Fall is riding is called Pierre, a large pink bird which ate the Horse-Horse Devil Fruit. The bird, in his hybrid form functions like a Pegasus, but is trash looking compared to a Real Pegasus. The horse-bird lands on the Ship, with Gan Fall Staring at Wyper.
"Wyper, leave them-" I interrupt him, while it might be rude to interrupt an elder, I don't want the situation to dissolve into chaos for no reason.
"Who are you?" Gan Fall looks at me and nods, acknowledging that my question takes more importance as Wyper hasn't made a bad move against us from what he has seen.
"My Name Is Gan Fall, And I am a Sky Night. A knight for hire for only 5,000,000 Extols per whistle." He brings out and shows us a whistle, which makes Nami Confused.
"What are Extols?" Nami looks at me, and I shrug. While Extols are the currencies of Sky Island, I don't know the exchange rate of it and Beris.
"Well, Extols are the currency of Sky Island. Where are you- wait. Are you guys from the Blue Sea?" He looks at us in surprise, and I nod, telling him how we came here-
"Hey old man, Get Lost before I blow you to smithereens." Wyper interrupts our conversation and points his Bazooka at Gan Fall, who doesn't show a hint of fear. The situation gets Tense once again, before Gan Fall opens his mouth to speak.
"I don't want you hurting Innocents Wyper." Wyper looks ticked off with this comment, and is happy to press the trigger, but he calms himself down, knowing that there is something much more important he needs to do than fight with the previous bastard God.
"I ain't gonna fight them, I have business with someone here specifically. Now, get lost. Last Warning." He clutches the handle of the bazooka which is laying on his shoulder. Gan Fall stares down Wyper without fear for a couple of seconds before he sighs, and tosses the whistle in his hand to me.
"I don't know what he is planning, but if you feel that you are in danger, blow the Whistle, my first service is free for you guys." After saying this, he looks back at Wyper again and touches his Horse-Bird, who takes off to the Sky to who knows where.
"That fucking Geezer." Wyper whispers, disappointed that he didn't get to blow the Geezers face off. But he then turns to me, staring me down, trying to intimidate me. I stare at him back, unflinching.
"Who are you?" Cricket, sensing the tension, asks Wyper, who turns towards Him, and answers him, with Caution in his tone.
"I am Wyper, a proud Warrior Of Shandora and... A Descendant of the Great Warrior Calgara." Wyper's tone suggests that he doesn't fully believe what I told him, but is willing to give Cricket the benefit of the doubt. Cricket Quotes that Wyper wants him to give an introduction, and even though he doesn't fully understand what Is going on, he realizes that somehow, his ancestor MontBlanc has SOME kind of relationship with these people, if the way Wyper is looking at him is any indication.
"Uhh, My Name Is Cricket, Montblanc Cricket from the 'blue seas.' I am the....Descendant of Montblanc Noland and have been trying to see if His words were true or not." Wyper looks surprised, mostly after hearing Cricket saying he wants to see the truth behind the words of the now deceased Noland.
"You.... What do you know about Shandora?" Wyper asks, and Cricket shrugs.
"Nothing. This is the first time I am hearing of the word. I think that's what your place is called. The only thing I know is from The Log Book that Noland left behind, stating he met people who had Wings on their back. And it seems that He was talking about you." He points towards Wyper's Wings. And for a couple of seconds, Wyper stays silent, not saying anything.
".....follow me." He explains, and then Jumps back into the white sea and surfs forward. I scream to call him, and he stops and turns back.
"Are we allowed too?" I give a peace sign, and for a couple of Seconds Wyper stares at us before Turning and continuing to Ride in front.
I look towards Luffy, Who has a bif infectious smile, making me Smile too while Nami sighs.
"YOU GUYS, LETS GOOO!" Luffy jumps to the Head Of Merry, Pointing towards Wyper's figure. Sanji shrugs and walks inside the ship along with Bentham to move the ship forward.
The Going Merry moves, along with the two ships of The Saruyama Alliance.
'Well, I certainly didn't expect us to meet the entire Shandorian people. And Knowing Luffy, he will decide to help them. We will Have to face Enel and his dumbass squad earlier. I gotta prepare for that.' I smile, even though planning might be hard, I know every person we are gonna fight, so it is easy to make a plan with information like that.
[3RD POV]
*Yawn~*
Enel yawns, bored out of his Mind. While he is ready to conquer The True Vearth, it is still boring to sit around waiting for His Arc Maxim to finish Construction, which might be done by either tonight or tomorrow morning.
With nothing much to do since his Ordeals are in their Positions, lazing around, He decides to take a peek in 'HIS' Territory. He is God After all, anyone who-
Enel gets up, sweating covering his body while he drops his Golden Staff on the ground. What the hell did he just sense right now?
"W-what is that?" He sensed something that should not be possible. Someone who feels Stronger than him, A GOD.
His Mantra Picked up someone in the Island Of Skypiea, where a person is on the ground, injured, though Just a little. Just a second of peeking caused the person to turn around and look at-
Him? That Person Looked At HIM! THE GOD WAS BEING LOOKED AT BY A LOWER BEING? HOW DARE HE-
Enel looks again, this time confident that he is superior-
'w-wha-' he falls to the ground in terror, sensing the immense power that he sensed before. Someone Stronger than HIM, The GOD itself.
What kind of Monster arrived at the Island?-
