"I am really sorry for his behavior. But I really hope you can let him go." Gan Fall said as he bowed his head.
"We can let him go, but on one promise. Pay us." Nami shouted as her eyes turned into bellies.
"Huh!"
"Does this woman only think about money?"
"As expected of Nami-swan."
Gan Fall was surprised by the upright behavior of these pirates that had shown up. He thought that he might have to negotiate more with them. The man they caught belonged to the opposite camp, so there was no overwhelming need to save him, but all his life Gan Fall had been trying to make peace between the people of Shandia and the Sky Angels.
Plus, this guy was important for the people of Shandia because he was their leader. Wyper. He hoped that Wyper could gain a favor.
"Old man.. I don't need your help. You can fuck off." Wyper called out when he saw Gan Fall begging for his life. He didn't want to owe any favors to anyone. Gan Fall didn't pay him any attention and looked at Nami, who spoke of money.
"How much money do you want?" Gan Fall asked. Nami was more excited by this and started negotiating. Meanwhile, Cricket and others came forward and took away this man's mask. He tried to resist, only to be hurt by the end of the bazooka in the hands of Vivi.
"So many tattoos. I like it." Mashira said.
"I want to get myself this tattoo." Shoujo said. Cricket was just looking at him blankly and didn't say anything. Kalgara and Norland were great friends once. So in a way, Wyper and Cricket should be friends since they belong to the same lineage. He was hoping he could develop such a friendship later. Ken didn't want to keep Wyper anyway.
Though logically Wyper was at fault, he could also understand why Wyper reacted the way he did. A pirate named Jolly Roger would always be met with hostility, no matter where. And for people like them who were obsessive about their own land, it was understandable why he reacted the way he did.
Nami and Gan Fall came to a deal, and thus Wyper was allowed to go. He had intense disgust written on his face when he was let go. It was a humiliation for him, and he vowed to get back at these people and Gan Fall too. Ken could see that and said:
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
"Let go of your hatred or we will show you more despair than you have ever known in your life."
Wyper stiffened a bit but didn't reply, and with just one skate on his foot, he 'sailed' away in the white cloud. Gan Fall sat on his bird, who turned into a false Pegasus. Ken laughed upon seeing it. At least it looked better than stronger. He still regretted letting Stronger go a bit.
Should have killed him there itself.
With those random thoughts in mind and taking in the beautiful scenery around me while reaching the main gate, The sea of clouds was really a place where one person should be in their lifetime. Out of excitement, Ussop jumped into the sea to feel the clouds, and he was not disappointed. He came out from the bottom side of the cloud sea. But of course, unlike the original story where he almost died, he was able to come back because he could stand on air now.
After coming to the gate, they met the gatekeeper, who asked for payment. Nami asked for the amount required, and listening to the toll that needed to be paid made her despair, and she was even ready to wipe out the woman's memories.
But of course it was just her thought, and the gatekeeper, named Amazon, said that they could go in even if they didn't pay, which made everyone feel relief.
"But we will be fugitives. Wouldn't we? Hunted by the divine soldiers." Ken commented when everyone was ready to sail in. This made the Amazon shudder. In her life, she had scammed a lot of people in this way. Since she didn't have the power to get toll payments, she would just label the people who entered as criminals who were hunted until they were dead.
Amazon's silence proved that whatever Ken said was right. Ken hated people like her. She was the kind of person who would not hesitate to manipulate people just for her own fun and taste. She could have easily spoken about the fugitive status, but she refrained from doing so.
And this was not only for them but for everyone else who used to come to the island.
"What? What? What are you saying? I don't understand." Amazon said in a broken and shivering tone. She was older and more scared.
"Call Gan Fall," Ken said.
"But the whistle he gave was only for emergencies." Nami protested.
"The emergencies we might have here might be something he wouldn't be able to handle." Ken commented. Nami looked dejected, but she called Gan Fall, who arrived in five minutes. Gan Fall was confused about his call, which he gave along with a sum of money to Nami.
Vivi proceeded to explain how this old woman was scamming them. Amazon was shuddering. She didn't think that the previous ruler of Skypea would be called for such a small thing. Gan Fall looked with disappointment at Amazon but said at the end that he couldn't do anything.
Ken actually wanted to almost kill this woman, who was responsible for the deaths of innocents who came to the islands too, but at the end he refrained. The fight with Enel was going to happen anyway. He would take care of her then.
Merry started sailing again and went even higher, and finally, after the vertical uplift, they reached their destination.
The Angel Beach.
Luffy, can you feel it?" Ken asked suddenly.
"Yes. It's like you. It's everywhere." Luffy replied.
"What are you talking about? Huh! What is this feeling?" Ussop said.
