[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV

Somewhere in sea, First Half of Grandline.

....

...

After several days of sailing, the Black Pearl, along with a second ship filled with people who were slaves, found itself stationary in the calm waters near Jaya. The crew, accustomed to their captain's impulsive style, gathered on deck, curious about the sudden stop and their captain summoning the entire crew to discuss their plans.

Nami, with an expression of perplexity and curiosity, turned to Luffy, who stood on the bow of the Black Pearl. The sea around them was a vast expanse of blue, calm and endless. "Why have we stopped here, Luffy?" she asked, with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Luffy, with his iconic straw hat firmly in place, slowly turned to the crew. His face was lit up with an enigmatic smile and eyes shining with excitement. "There's something I need to say. We're no longer going to Jaya," he announced, his voice filled with intriguing certainty.

Nojiko, with an expression of surprise, interrupted: "We're not going? But we're so close, why change your mind now?" Her voice reflected the confusion spreading among the crew.

Luffy, enjoying everyone's attention, pulled out a small, mysterious object from his pocket and tossed it to Nami. "Look at this and tell me where it points," he said.

Nami, catching the Eternal Pose with a nimble movement, examined it closely. Her eyes widened in surprise. "It's... pointing up?!" she exclaimed.

Luffy nodded, his smile widening even more. "Exactly. Many have asked about the Sky Island in recent days. I decided it was time to reveal our true destination."

A chorus of exclamations echoed across the deck. Usopp, with eyes shining with excitement, exclaimed: "An island in the sky? That's amazing, Luffy! How are we going to get there?"

Zoro cast a challenging gaze toward the sky. "It doesn't matter where it is, as long as I can continue my training to get stronger. But an island in the sky... that sounds like an interesting challenge," he murmured, a slight smile of anticipation appearing.

Reiju, the voice of reason and experience, looked at Luffy with a slight smile. "An island in the sky, huh? That sounds like a worthy adventure. I'm curious to see what awaits us," she said.

Lami looked at her with arrogance. "I thought you would be scared of such a thing..."

As the two argued, Hachi shouted excitedly. "Nee... The captain always takes us to the most amazing places! I can't wait to see the sky!"

Robin, with her usual calm demeanor but a glint of curiosity in her eyes, asked softly, "So, are we really going to this island now?"

Luffy looked at everyone and nodded, "Yes, I even thought of going to Jaya, but the place is just a

haven of weak pirates and we would only become some kind of celebrity there, as it would just be a place to beat up some extras who mess with us, so I decided not to enter the island now," Luffy explained.

Chopper, with an expression of childlike curiosity, tilted his head to the side. "Extras? What does that mean, Luffy?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine confusion.

"So, we are going to the sky, how high?" Kuina raised the question before Luffy could respond to Chopper.

"10,000 meters. There's a phenomenon in these waters that makes ships rise known as Knock Up Stream, but we won't be following that route."

"And how do you plan to make the ship rise 10,000 meters?" Vivi asked curiously.

Luffy, with a confident smile, revealed his plan. "With my Moa Moa no mi, I can manipulate gravity and weight. I've improved my ability, and now I can use two applications at the same time. I will take our ship to the sky," he explained, his voice full of pride in his recent progress.

In recent days, as the team trained, Luffy improved the performance of his fruit and gained new benefits. Now he could set the applications at 50 times and divide it into two categories, which made him extremely OP, he could put strength and speed at 25 times each in a fight.

Luffy could also simply shrink everyone down and fly with his wings to the sky, but that idea seemed too easy and without any adventure while his crew could share the feeling of seeing the ship rise higher and higher.

"That's amazing, captain," Bepo shouted excitedly.

Luffy, pleased with his powers, said, "Yes, with my enhanced Moa Moa no Mi, we can make the Black Pearl fly. And with Nami controlling Garuda's winds to propel the ship, we'll reach Sky Island in the blink of an eye," he explained, his words infusing new vigor into the crew as he continued. "So, it's to Sky Island we go! Everyone get ready!" declared Luffy, his voice resonating with authority and adventure.

"Yes, captain!" came the unanimous response from everyone.

Activity buzzed on the Black Pearl, with the crew engaged in adjusting sails and ropes, optimizing the ship to better propel it upwards. Meanwhile, Luffy headed to the second ship, which they had been towing since Lumenarchy. On board, the former slaves, now dressed in clothes provided by the ship of the Kingdom of Goa, eagerly awaited the next plan of these pirates who had saved them.

With everyone noticing Luffy approaching in the air, they all gathered on the deck. "You are no longer slaves, but we still need to take you to a safe place. Anywhere we leave you, you are subject to being captured. We're going to a very special place and I can't leave you here. You need to come with us," began Luffy, his confident and calm tone conveying security.

The looks of the former slaves varied between uncertainty and hope. One of them, a middle-aged man with the marks of a hard life, asked hesitantly, "Where will you take us, sir?"

Luffy smiled. "To Sky Island. But for that, I need to shrink this ship and store it for a while. It will be a unique experience, but I promise you'll be safe."

A young woman spoke timidly: "Sir, we trust you. You saved us and we are willing to follow wherever you lead."

Luffy nodded, touched by the trust placed in him. "I will ensure your safety. It will be just for a few hours. Then, we will be in a place where the sky is the limit."

Luffy then shrank the ship with everyone inside and placed them in a safe place, returning to the Black Pearl, where everyone looked prepared for the next journey.

Back on the Black Pearl, the atmosphere was palpably excited. Shirahoshi, with eyes shining with adventure, couldn't contain her joy. "We're

going to see Sky Island, Megalo!" she exclaimed, hugging the shark who grunted in response, sharing her excitement.

Vivi, with a contagious smile, joined the festive atmosphere. "It must be amazing to fly to the sky!" she commented, observing the final preparations.

Luffy, firmly positioning himself, focused on the Black Pearl. "Time to start," he announced confidently as he placed his hands on the deck of the ship. With deep concentration, he activated the power of his Moa Moa no Mi, reducing the weight of the ship to below 1% and doing the same with gravity. Almost immediately, the Black Pearl began to levitate over the waters, to the surprise and admiration of everyone on board.

"Wow, the Black Pearl can even fly!" Yamato exclaimed, his eyes glowing with admiration and a touch of pride.

Alvida, standing beside Luffy, watched the scene with a smile. "This ship really never ceases to amaze us," she commented, admiring her husband's power.

"Well, let's continue! Nami." Luffy turned to his navigator who nodded. The ship was slowly rising, about 50 meters above the sea. Nami released her wings and went under the ship, using her own hands to tilt it diagonally. She then moved to the back of the ship, positioning it so that its upward angle wouldn't affect the crew.

"Let's first release the ship's nitro and Nami will do the rest." Luffy spoke and the ship gained momentum, taking off with the energy used behind the ship. As it flew, Nami released her tornadoes with her hands to propel the ship, gaining even more speed.

Dorry, standing next to Broggy, couldn't hide his excitement. "This is incredible, Broggy! I've never seen anything like it!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Broggy, equally impressed, simply agreed, "True, Dorry, our young captain always surprises us."

Shirahoshi, clinging to Megalo, screamed with joy. "We're flying, Megalo! Flying to the sky!" The mermaid princess was clearly ecstatic with the experience.

Zoro, watching the scene with his arms crossed, couldn't help but express his admiration. "Well, this is really amazing..." he admitted, impressed by Luffy and Nami's abilities.

Nojiko approached Nami, concerned. "Is everything alright, Nami? Can you control all this?" she asked, watching her sister's concentration.

Nami, without losing focus, confidently replied, "Of course, Nojiko. I've faced bigger challenges before," said Nami, easily maintaining her power.

"Clouds above!" Bepo shouted as the ship invaded a massive quantity of clouds.

"These clouds are so big, this must be Sky Island!" Luffy commented, noting its gigantic size, large enough to fit three or four islands. The ship entered the area, and all they could see was white, filled with clouds as they continued to ascend.

The Black Pearl, after emerging from the sea of clouds, revealed a spectacular panorama that left everyone on board speechless. The sky was lit by a radiant sun, whose rays reflected off the clouds below, creating a spectacle of twinkling lights. The clouds, thick and soft, formed a vast white sea beneath the Black Pearl.

"I'll remove all the effects from the ship, Nami, you can rest, and everyone prepare for the descent," Luffy announced before releasing the ship from the effects of his akuma no mi, and it began to fall. With a small thud on the clouds, the ship didn't sink but remained atop the clouds as if it were on the sea.

Usopp, always ready for an adventure, couldn't contain his excitement. "Look at this place, everyone! It's like we're in a dream!" he said, pointing to the white, undulating expanse of clouds below them.

"Look at this place!" Reiju said, quite fascinated by the location.

"Incredible," murmured Lami, usually restrained in his emotions, but clearly impressed with the scene before them. She looked around, absorbing the surreal landscape.

Vivi, with a sparkle in her eyes, expressed her admiration. "Really, this place exists! It's like something out of a legend or a fairy tale," she said, her voice reflecting a mix of joy and astonishment.

"Looks like cotton candy! Can you eat it?" Chopper shouted excitedly.

"Let's move forward," Luffy announced.

Then the Black Pearl finally moved forward, cutting through the clouds in the sea of clouds. As the crew was still admiring the environment, a structure began to appear on the horizon.

"A gate?!" Nami asked.

"There's someone there..." Yamato said.

"An angel?!" Usopp shouted, looking through a magnifying glass.

"Must be a guard," Kuina said, a bit perplexed.

As the ship approached, an elderly woman with small wings on her back looked at them from in front of that welcoming gate.

"Visitors? It's been a long time since we've seen any... This is Heaven's Gate. All visitors must pay 1,000,000,000 Extol to enter Sky Island."

"1 Billion?!" Nami shouted in fury.

"Calm down, Nami, it's not Berries, this currency is

worth thousands of times less than a Berry," Luffy soothed her and turned to the lady at the gate.

"Sorry, ma'am, but we don't plan to pay the fee, since this island belongs to the Straw Hats," Luffy spoke with an arrogant tone, making the gatekeeper's eyes widen at what was about to happen.

Luffy also knew what was going to happen; he didn't want to waste time in this place and quickly enter into conflict with Enel, as it would save time for his plans.

Yamato looked up before everyone else as a lightning bolt started to fall towards the ship, so large it could destroy not just the ship but the entire gate. Luffy, anticipating this, simply smiled.

"It seems we're about to start our fight, Enel," he said, seeing the lightning heading their way unconcernedly.
