Cover-art kindly provided by our noble artiste, Draw-anon, who generously took time off repainting the Sistine Chapel for us. Look upon our prettyboy protagonist. Look upon his devilish smile and despair.

In last thread’s episode of One Piece Genuine Pirate Quest, our accurately named mysterious hero MYSTERIOUS HERO ARTHUR looked a corpse and annoyed Nico Robin into explaining how language works, before finding himself in a really weird heart-to-heart with the now-Roronoa Zoro, previously Lolonoa Zolo, who definitely doesn’t suspect Arthur’s real identity. After that, a wild party ensued with SWORDS and BACKSTORY and RIVALRY. Also, he acquired Eternal Dibs, so that was nice. Meanwhile, the seeds of further idiocy have been sown in the mind of Strawguy...

>hangover cure, breakfast, lunch

The hangover cure is quick, easy, and more importantly, actually works. Sanji may be a pirate, but he’s also some kind of angel who can accomplish divine miracles with egg yolk, salt and a host of other readily-stocked ingredients.

You tuck the recipe away in your mind as one of the greatest medications mankind could ever hope to gain.

That done and agony abating, he sets you to making preparations for the food. Apparently you’re not at the stage of being trusted to actually MAKE it yet, not without direct supervision, but the early stages seem to be acceptable. You never thought the correct way to whisk eggs would be so damn complicated.

(Cooking +3!)

“Most of last night is fuzzy,” you admit, giving a cutting knife a quick sharpening. “Do I have any dignity left?”

“Well, you woke up at one point and tried to strangle Luffy...”

Shit, that could be bad -

“But that’s pretty understandable for anyone who’s met him. Besides, he found it funny.”

... Never mind, your cover’s fine.

“And apparently you and the mosshead went off to train or something, and ended up cutting down a load of trees.”

“Yeeeeah, I remember that part.” You frown as you work. “It was surprisingly helpful.”

That gets you a confused look. “Surprisingly?”

“Well, I mean... he didn’t strike me as...

Calling for teaching, apparently Arthur has a modicum of respect for Zoro’s skills.

“- a good teacher.”

“Heh. Yeah, that’d surprise me, too. I mean, he and Kohza train their swordsmanship together, but they both practice their own styles. Neither of ‘em tries to learn each other’s moves.”

Maybe Kohza already knows the cutting thing? Is that a basic move? But in that case, why didn’t Klaus teach you it... did Zoro somehow skip over metal-cutting on to a slightly more advanced technique? You wouldn’t put it past him.

“Maybe he just wanted to cut something up,” you say lamely, not sure if you should mention Kami-e. Shit. You taught him Kami-e. Isn’t that some high-ranking Marine technique? Eh, there’s probably plenty of pirates who figured it out. No biggie.

“Sounds like the musclebrain,” Sanji muses distractedly, still busy with breakfast. “Apart from that, nah, you didn’t do anything much.”

You breathe a long sigh of relief.

“Well... apart from the singing.”

Klaus doesn’t get hangovers. He actually ate the Alcohol Alcohol Fruit, and his constant drinking is merely boosting his powers until he finally Awakens. When that terrible day finally comes, Shanks and Whitebeard themselves will go to war over the mighty drinks he can produce.

“... Do I at least sing well while I’m drunk?”

“Eh, not awful. Not great, but we weren’t going deaf from it.” He cocks his head. “Ah~ the ladies are awake!”

... Does he have Haki for women? Is that a thing?

“Get moving! We need this finished before they get hungry!” Ah, and now he becomes a slave-driver, slamming more plates of ingredients own beside you. “With an extra pair of hands, I can go all out, today~!”

...

And seriously, how is he so bendy and - wibbly? Is that an advanced Kami-e? Should you try and learn it? ... Nah, you’d rather get hit and die.

Breakfast turns out fantastic, naturally, and apart from a few critiques, Sanji has no complaints about you, although that might be because he moves right on to the bento lunches, which you’ve already done some prep for.

Seeing as people are starting to enter the galley, it’s good timing. Assholes don’t even have the decency to look hungover, apart from some bleary eyes from the Princess which could just be from lack of sleep. Admittedly, you can’t see Sogeking’s face, but he doesn’t seem all that bothered.

“Breakfast is served, ladies~!” Yeah, that’s gotta be Kami-e, you decide, stepping around the heart-eyed weirdo as he serves the women. It certainly reassures you about teaching it to Zoro. “If there’s anything bad about it, it’s all shitty-guest’s fault~!}

You pause in grabbing your own plate. “You did the women’s food by yourself!”

“Sometimes the aura of a man can affect nearby food,” Sanji casually explains, like the dickface he is.

You glare at his bullshit face and bullshit words, then seat yourself at the table, ducking your face and eating fast as you can. Partly because you want to try and get a handle on your still shiny and new Meteor-sama, and partly because Strawbrat keeps trying to steal your food,

Little shit.

It’s a surprisingly vibrant meal - the only ones who seem to be worried are Pajaya and Conis, and even they’re more reassured as breakfast goes on.

“I’m gonna get some training in,” you finally announce, as Sanji jabs a finger at where to leave your empty plate. “Lemme know when everyone’s ready to go.”

“Training?” Yeah, that got Zoro’s attention.

“With this.” You point at Meteor-sama.

He immediately goes back to eating. “Never mind.”

... Sword-freak.

You head down to the forest, considering your options. Do you really want to train Meteor-sama now?

If any of you guys don’t need know how a meteor hammer works, might wanna check out a YouTube video. There’s a lot of kicking, etc, but just imagine that your meteor hammer has a cannonball on each end of the chain, because this is One a Piece and weapons are bullshit.

You can use Meteor-sama from very close range to about regular sword range, due to your strength. You could also throw it, I guess, which would be... kind of dumb.

Yup, you can also do it with your arms and swinging the chain around your body. Assume that your own fighting with Meteor-sama will be a lot faster than RL versions as well, because again, One Piece bullshit (and because you’re a freaky weapons prodigy).

>>3499971
There’s a good but very long video by a monk and a disciple, if that’s the one you mean, but there’s a some other good ones out there’s. One is actually an amateur middle-aged guy who’s impressively fast and brutal with it, though he fucks up several times on the video.

It may be very effective, the question is whether you can get it back afterwards. If you're fighting on a ship and the enemy dodges, for example, can you catch poor Meteor-sma before it goes overboard? Because it's gonna sink preeeeetty fast.

>>3500018
You. I like you.

>84, good!

You take Meteor-sama out of sight of the ship, just in case anyone comes out to watch - you don't want the poor thing to get performance anxiety, after all - and give it a gentle swing to asses weight and balance.

Your findings consist of 'heavy' and 'no'.

Perfect.

You start slow, because you've never handled a weapon like this before. In fact, you've never seen a weapon like this before, outside of a few sketches in a weaponry textbook at the Academy, because apparently this one is HARD, and most people would rather pick up, say, a sword or a pistol.

It's also unusual because it's got a pair of goddamn cannonballs attached.

The chain is made of plenty of smaller links, rather than fewer but bigger ones - it gives Meteor-sama more flexibility, and means it also hurts less when you carefully swing it to wrap around your leg.

Ow.

You kick out the other leg, and try to wrap it around that one instead. It works, if a little awkwardly, but your previous experience with the chains of fans helps. Even so, the massive ends renders the result completely different.

Back to the other leg - kick, hold your arm out and try that - not awful - swivel and swing your arm to let one of the cannonballs hurtle forwards. You'll have to pay attention to the sharp tug as it reaches its full length, to prevent recoil.

Again, faster.

Leg.

Arm.

Other arm.

Alter your grip to try holding it higher - swing around your body (oof, good restraint there). Lash it out. Leg again, arm, faster, slam it out and swing it into a tree, move as you do it to check the velocity, spin your own body to wrap it neatly around your torso --

(Aquired Meteor Hammer skill +8! General Fitness +1! Due to varied range of weaponry, +2 when first trying new types of personal weaponry!)

Not bad! Nowhere near as good as, say, your swords, but at least you're not rushing into a fight with no idea what you're doing. Unlike usual.

... Ha. Haha.

"Arthur, we're going now!" You hear the Witch's call, far too happy for someone who's going to go fight a god. Considering how weak his priests were, though, you can see why there's little worry.

This. At the very least, the fruit part.

Also, everyone's been talking about getting a seagull devil fruit to make Meteor-sama able to rebound to us automatically, and I'm kinda just wondering if feeding a DF to an inanimate object is an actual thing in OP. I've admittedly not watched/read much of it at all, so I've got no idea.
How do you even do something like that? Do you just smash/slice the fruit with the object? Do you juice the fruit and pour it onto the object? Do DFs even HAVE juice?

Yes it is. There's a bazooka that ate a dog zoan, and a sword that ate an elephant zoan. Might have been more, but those are the two I remember.

With Conis and her father watching the Merry (which really means 'staying where they won't get in the way of the fight, because it's not like they can really defend Merry if anything happens), the rest of you set off.

You're not laden down - just the weapons you've been carrying around Skypiea, and a small bag holding a few cannonballs (just in case) as well as lunch. Yes, a hearty meal along the way to punch/stab/shoot God sounds just dandy.

You brought an apple along as well, for important snacking purposes. Fruits might not be AS good as candy, but you have to admit they're slightly more filling as a food-stuff. Also more healthful, not that you really care about that.

>>
>>3500227
We really have no idea, might be a yami thing, or some people theorise he might have a genetic defect that gives him two stomach, which is why he so fat.
>>
>>3500169
I don't mind bringing along a fruit but that justification is so forced it's hilarious, I thought Flashy would naturally assume someone on the scale of "God" would have a DF fruit and thus bring a fruit along just in case. Also I thought that one anon's nat100 reroll was for us to find the reborn fruit after the fight?
>>
>>3500232
Dont worry.

All is not as it seeeeeems.

... Because I already decided how you'll find the damn fruit IF Enel dies, and it won't goddamn be a convenient piece of fruit you're carrying like a dipshit.

But yes if Enel dies, one of the anons has kindly donated their nat100 to make sure Flashy finds it. Then there'll be a vote if you want to eat it or not, which I'll probably leave open for a while as it's kind of major and I know there were some people opposed.
>>
>>3500232
I mean, so far all the combat between the Priests and Us have been...really easy. They've all gone down in one hit, or have been taken down by Nami the Navigator. THE NAVIGATOR, not even one of the frontline fighters. It would make sense that Flashy isn't taking Enel seriously because his troops are chumps so why wouldn't he be as well?
>>
>>3500227
>>3500230
That still hasn't been revealed, there are lots of theories.

Immediately after Blackbeard revealed that he absorbed Whitebeard's devil fruit, Whitebeard's crew began immediately calling bullshit, only for Marco to refute them, saying that it was possible. He then said that Blackbeard was a little different, as 'his body structure was irregular compared to common people's', which is why he was able to pull it off.

Oda still hasn't elaborated on what this means, but a lot of people have theorized that he might try to go for another fruit to make three, as his Jolly Roger has three skulls. He has the strongest Logia and the strongest Paramecia, so the strongest Zoan would be able to complete the whole set and make him nearly unstoppable.

Which means that Kaido might eventually find himself in Blackbeard's crosshairs.
>>
>>3500254
Honestly, in terms of Zoans, I'd actually put Marco above Kaido.

I feel like a lot of Kaido's pure strength is from his human side than his dragon bullshit, while Marco gets to come back to life, and have fire powers, and be one of like 10 people that can fly,

Not to mention that Marco is retired and living in peace currently, making him the perfect target to pull at heart strings
>>
>>3500241
>if
Always the operative word. Thanks for allaying my concerns, I can only hope it'll be one of Nami's oranges so we can steal from the witch herself.

>>3500249
Flashy does think that the Haki he's encountered is Enel's so he definitely knows that the guy's got bigger game than his underlings. I don't think he's aware of the full extent of the range but he's been (rightfully) paranoid about it ever since he first encountered it.
>>
>>3500289
Ah my bad then, forgot that we did notice his Haki.
>>
>>3500265
True. The title of the Strongest Zoan is still unrevealed, and Blackbeard killing Marco would be another way for him to keep spitting on the memory of Whitebeard. Plus the powers would be a terrifying combination with what he already has.

However, I'm not sure that Blackbeard as a phoenix would look convincing as the final Big Bad. He might look like an overweight chicken, given his body type. A massive dragon with darkness and earthquake powers, creating black holes and tsunamis? On top of having Blackbeard's (admittedly awesome) beard? Now THAT'S endgame material.
>>
>>3500309

Hang on, I thought Bentham wanted to be sent to Impel Down, since he'd heard that Ivankov had been imprisoned there? Shouldn't he have let himself be captured after stalling Garp for a bit?

I think he only heard about that after being sent to Impel Down? So he tried to get himself sent to the lower floors
>>
>>3500429
Yeah, he actually gets caught by Hina, escapes prison, then fights Hina again, I believe.

On this instance, Hina was taking Zoro away (and her ship got trashed) so she never fought him the first time, and the other BW agents who were caught were on different ships to be interrogated regarding BW.

>88

It's a quicker walk than yesterday, partly because you know the way this time, and partly because Zoro and Sanji have made a loud, violent competition of charging ahead to cut down the trees ahead of you all.

Because they're idiots who hate nature, you guess.

... Dammit, why do you have to be mature and responsible?! Stupid Strawhats, making you be the straight man to their unceasing insanity! You wanna go batshit and kick a tree over too!

Then the distant sound of their yelling stops, followed by an immense rumble from the ground that sends your party to a stumbling halt.

"Earthquake?" Sogeking stares at the ground, but the Witch just scowls.

"Don't be stupid, there can't be any faultlines up here! I think..." How reassuring! You'd grip on to something sturdy, but the sounds of trees crashing down all at once attracts attention instead.

At first you think it's the two lunatics ahead, before - holy crap.

That is the biggest goddamn snake you've ever seen, raising it's head above the treetops.

And it's blinking sleeping. Since when do snakes have eyelids? No. Wait. That's not important right now.

What's important is that it's spotted you all...

"THAT'S FRIGGIN' HUGE!" The cry of the Greater-Thieving Witch.

... And it looks hungry.

"Ah... its mouth is big too," you comment, before it lets out a loudhiss, eyes gleaming, and hurls itself towards you all.

You swivel from the hips and hurl that cannonball like it insulted Smoboss, whereupon it blazes across the distance and slams into the snek's snoot with a faint crunch.

(Cannonballs +1!)

The big beastie pauses, mouth still open, before recoiling a little, eyes squinting as it tries to look down at where the tiny ball hit it.

Said tiny ball proceeds to slowly thunk backwards, toppling out of the small, cracked indentation now just above its mouth, and crashing to the floor.

A small but thick shard of what looks to be snake-scale follows after it.

The snake promptly loses its shit.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" A massive, wildly flailing snake is certainly a sight, along with the dozens of trees it slams carelessly to the ground as it furiously jerks and waves.

"Oooooohhh," you hear Strawhat say from somewhere nearby. Because he's also a dumbass.

"A cannonball," you answer bluntly, still running. Seriously, how did he not see that? At least you've caught up with the two confused dumbasses at the front though, as Kohza catches them up on why the snake has yet to eat anyone.

Strawhat's eyes glaze over for a few seconds, before clearing. "Hey, Art-guy, what did you throw at it?"

You stare at him, dodging a branch, and then at the Witch still dragging him along. She looks just as confused, before it clears up. "He threw a rock!" Then she mouths at you, 'Don't - talk - about - throwing - cannonballs'.

... You have some serious questions about that kid's childhood. Poor bastard.

"So how are we supposed to find 'God', anyway?" You direct the question at the Witch, who's by now let go of Strawbrat (happy to bound on ahead with his two chief lackeys).

"Huh? Didn't you-? Oh, yeah, you went to sleep yesterday, and training this morning." She huffs. "All right! Aisa, Conis and her dad say that Enel, the 'God' of Skypiea, is on his shrine somewhere high up in the center of the holy land! Robin says the lost golden city of Shandora should be there as well..." She trails off, giggling slightly, beri signs appearing in her eyes.

Creepy.

"I guess a golden city sounds about right for a God's shrine," you mutter.

The Witch nods decisively, coming back to reality. "Right... we can't take the gold straight away, because the idio- sorry, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji - want to fight God. But we'll definitely make sure to loot the place on the way back!"

"......" It's not technically stealing... right? And the sky islands are outside World Government jurisdiction anyway, so... "And - is it really safe having Zoro at the front? I know Strawhat and Sanji's there too, but..."

"It's fine, Robin's sending her eyes ahead to make sure we're on the right track," the Witch reassures. That's even creepier. "Besides, Kohza hasn't got a full handle on his Logia yet, and we need our strongest guys at the from in case the Shandians attack."

Ah, yes. The Shandians.

[One explanation later]
>Okay, so the strong guys are up front, but what if the Shandians attack from behind?
>>
>>3500998
Technically speaking, they are stronger than you right now. Zoro never managed to fight you with all three blades, you ended up lucking out with good terrain and preventing him drawing Wado. A single kick from Sanji would seriously screw you, and a few would cripple you, if they managed to hit. And Luffy is... Luffy, also running on 3d100s.

You're kind of a glass cannon. Fortunately, you're a quick-learning, LUCKY glass cannon.

Soooooo.

"... Who are the Shandians?"

The Witch looks at you despairingly.

"What?!"

"Never mind." She just manages to avoid tripping over a tree root, and you note the snake has finally gone silent. "The Shandians are Asia's people. Their island used to be part of Jaya, before the Knock-up Stream - you know what that is, right?"

"... It sounds like when a man forgets to use protection..."

"THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL!!"

Touchy, touchy.

In any case, you get a quick summary of what the Knock-Up Stream is (and now you know how you got up here), who the Shandians are and why they hate the Skypieans, and how the Shandians regularly perform raids against them.

Also it turns out that 'God' is just the title for their boss-dude, and they don't think he actually created the universe or anything. Lame.

You've already warned Zoro about Haki, and discreetly pointed out that this Enel guy or a lackey is constantly watching, but the fact that God is apparently aware of everyrhing in Skypiea and not just the Upper Yard is... troubling.

How good does your Observation have to be, to do that? And even pick out details?

Zoro knows that Enel will know they're coming, but even he doesn't know the uses of Observation like you do. If Enel can pick out 'blasphemy' all the way over on Skypiea proper, what the he'll can he do close up?

>Keep quiet.

You were handcuffed to Nami last time, which is why Sanji was relatively gentle with his kick. He didn't want to send you flying, and Nami with you.

If you're NOT conveniently handcuffed to a woman, he's gonna kick a lot harder. And he can also kick a lot harder than he used to back in Loguetown, holding back or not.

I'd like to say he could roflstomp anyone in East Blue due to Haki bullshit and Big Fucking Swords, but if rolls are as normal, he's probably going to be relying on Stefan to save his ass. And running away a lot.

Technically speaking, with his Armament he could kick Smoker's arse too, but again... rolls.

You decide to keep your mouth shut for now. There's no point in having God, or Enel, or Godel, or whatever, focusing on you straight off.

All you really wanna do is get a load of cool dials (and some sky candy) and go home. Hell, you won't even be able to 'rescue' Chopper, although at least you now know he's well-treated.

... Still haven't figured out where that ginormous reindeer dude is, though.

... Or what all that crashing of toppling trees is from behind you.

You look back, and promptly wish you hadn't.

I think I suggested this before with a Sea King. I am still of the opinion that killing from the inside is the best way to deal with huge ass monsters, especially ones with stupidly tough scales. I'm not into vore, I swear.

Also I oppose hissing purely on the grounds that a human hissing is one of the least threatening things I've seen
>>
>>3502854
I was honestly kind of surprised none of you wanted to vote for becoming Agent K and screaming for it to eat you.
>>
>>3502854
I don't think that's really necessary. We managed to hit it hard enough with a cannonball to not only make it flip the fuck out, but also make it lose at least one scale. That means that it's probably got a weak point open, and if it's not enough we just make more.
>>
>>3502864
The reason you broke a scale was the three 15s. If you hadn't rolled three of the same, the cannonball was just going to bounce off, and Nola would simply have been distracted. Unless you score really well again, you won't be breaking off more scales with cannonballs.

“SSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!” Mr Snek greets you all, moving extremely rapidly towards the delicious humans (plus probably-Mink) ahead of him. Or her? You’re not an expert on identifying snake sexes.

“AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH,” respond most of the Strawhats, some in terror, and others in glee. You note that certain people in particular - Stabby, Kicky, Stretchy and Sandy - seem torn between continuing to run, or turning and fighting the damn thing, turning anticipatory gazes over their shoulders.

More importantly, you have two goddamn cannonballs left.

Friggin’ asshole snake! No matter how cu- uh, badass it is, you’re trying to fight GOD, not an overgrown wriggly noodle!!

Screw this.

When your foot next hits the ground, you slam it down and swivel on it, bringing the rest of you around in a 180degree turn, already dragging a cannonball out of the depths of your cannonbag.

You glare at the fucking fucker.

It just keeps coming, plowing down trees in its wake, as its massive eyes focus on you.

“SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!”

Your forest now, bitch. “HISS-HISS TO YOU TOO, ASSSSSSHOLE!” Then you swing your second goddamn cannonball at the same spot you hit last time, making sure to put an extra spin on the thing, shoving it through the air with all your determination.

You could almost swear the iron-gray metal seems black for an instant as it flies.

(Gained ??????? +1, further DCs 99)

You hit its weak point for maximum damage, by which you mean the ball slams right into its target with an even louder crunch than last time, its giant head jerking back as it goes cross-eyed and sways in a confused daze, slowing to a halt.

“SS-SSSSAAAAAAAA?”

You can hear a load of freaking out behind you, but that’s not important right now.

By the way, the cutting thing that Zoro taught you is low-level Armament, much like metal-cutting, which is why you were so close to unlocking it properly.

Canonically I'm sure it isn't, but logically speaking it makes sense, seeing as weirdly wide slashes are basically a step below making long-range slashes with Haki (that aren't based on just excessive speed, anyway.)

>>3503049
In my headcanon, if its zoan, it comes out as a little baby version and is not only smaller but also weaker in material sense, it has to be taken care of so it can literally grow into being a weapon it was supposed to be.
Example, seastone chain whip feed a snake zoan results in an eggo that has to hatch and grow into full-sized snake until it can be used as intended.
Until then it still can transform into its chain form, but it would look more like a necklace chain than something you can whip people with, with a durability to match.

Great, blubbering tears collect at the corner of the snake’s eyes, as its head ducks and recoils, shaking slightly.

D-dammit, it’s too cute! But you swallow your urge to comfort poor sssssnek, because even adorable babies need proper discipline. You can’t just let it think it can get away with whatever it wants if it pulls out the tears, dammit!

You waggle your finger at it reprovingly. “You understand that kind of behaviour isn’t acceptable? Hm?”

“sssaaaa-sssssaaaaaaa...” The hissing is quieter, muffled by the wibbling-mouth and ducked head as it focuses its big, wet eyes on you, as if afraid you’ll yell more. Or throw more hard, metal balls at its head.

“Good.” You sigh, then step closer slowly, ignoring the way it flinches back slightly, before reaching out to gently scritch its chin. “You’ve been very naughty, but I’m sure you’ll do better from now on, right?”

“Sssssa-sssssssa!” It nods quick but shallow as you keep scritching, the massive neck-body relaxing as its eyes close, tears lessening.

“What the shit,” you hear Sanji mutter from way behind you, and ignore it.

“I dub thee Noodle D. Anger,” you decide, still scratching away. “Now, come on, Anger, we’ve got a long way to go before we punch God in the face and, I dunno, steal his gold.”

“And ring his bell!” Vivi adds helpfully, which isn’t helpful at all and make sure no sense, but okay.

“Are we seriously bringing a giant snake along with us?!” Kohza sounds less happy. “One that just tried to eat us?”

You look over your shoulder at the assorted pirates. Strawhat’s eyes seem a little glazed, oddly, but the rest appear to be relaxing, though some still seem a little wary. Especially Karoo, who eyes the snake as only a prey animal can.

“Anger’s learned its lesson now,” you say, reaching up to pat the injured snout. “It eon’t attack us again, will you?”

Anger eagerly wriggles its head in what you assume to be a shake, long frills swaying.

“There, see?”

“It’s not gonna fit on Merry,” Sogeking mutters, chin in his hand.

Strawhat’s eyes are clearing, and he blinks away the last of the dazedness. “It can come with us for now, right? God’s just in the city, yeah?”

“Apparently so.” Nico stares at the snake with an expression somewhere between resignation and apathy. “It’s hard to find a reliable source, and Aisa only knows so much.”

Strawbrat nods. “Okay! Let’s just keep going, then! And if you try to eat anyone, I’ll punch you, okay?”

Anger stares at him, blinks, then looks to you for confirmation. You shrug. “Ssssaaaa...”

Apparently that’s good enough, because Strawhat just grins and folds his arms. “All right! Let’s keep going!”

>you are now Mysterious Hero Arthur D. Anger, photographer of the Mi-Mi-Mi Pirates, proud father of a beautiful danger noodle
>and you keep rolling frigging 100s.

Noodle is a sweet, darling child who's never done anything wrong (except for probably eating people, but whatever), and happily follows along behind its new papa and company.

You'd kind of like to ride it, but maybe that's a little too forward for now?

In any case, the general air of upbeat acceptance becomes sheer awe as the group heads past where you, Nico and Chopper found the directions slab yesterday, and progress onwards into the city itself.

A city of actual, literal gold.

Who builds things with gold?! Even if you have that much lying around, what moron thinks that's a practical architectural material?!

Whatever the case, there's a chorus of impressed noises as your group steps out from the forest and into the overgrown, golden city.

The Witch looks like she wants to rub her face against everything.

"Kicking God's ass, first," you remind her, to which she sighs longingly and drags herself away from a golden lantern. You're pretty certain she was considering licking it.

Nick, meanwhile, frowns as she stares up and ahead. "That giant stalk is in the center of the city... and there's another cloud layer above."

"Eh? Then God is... higher up?" Strawhat sounds annoyed. "Lets just cut it and God'll fall down to us!"

Zoro is less enthused. "Is the stalk holding that layer of cloud up? If it's not, there's no point. Let's just climb it."

You keep getting closer as the debate continues, until the golden buildings give way to not only the thick base of the stalk erupting from the ground, ruins shattered around it; but a massive cage of thorned metal taller even than your new child, and just as wide.

Oh, and there's several people lying inside it. Bleeding. A lot.

The man standing in front of the cage, facing you all, wears sunglasses and carries a sword, but that's where his similarities to your own minion Sunglasses end.

"Your challenge to God hasn't gone unnoticed, heathens," he announces, as if there aren't a bunch of exotic dead/dying bodies lying in a freaky-ass cage behind him. "Soon you will be free of all-"

"MINE," Zoro gleefully yells, ripping his swords from their sheathes and charging forwards.

"CHEATING MOSSHEAD!"

... Ah, dibs. Always a pleasure.

Wait OP. Wasn't literally ALL the Gold from Shandora taken by Enel and used as wiring in his Ark Maxima? Thats why the Shandorians wanted to give the Strawhats that massive golden pillar from that broke free from The Bell, only for the Strawhats to see it while it was under a tarp, causing them to think its a gaint cannon and running for their lives with only the Loot they got out of Nola's stomach?
>>
>>3503689
Was it ALL the gold? I thought it was just the majority? Shit, if it's the case that it's all of it, then just mentally retcon it so that the layers of gold have been stripped from the ruins, guys. I thought there was quite a bit of gold left in the city, but I'm working off phone and limited data at the moment, so I don't want to check the manga.

Shandora was built in 402 by the Shandorians, the ancestors of the Shandia. During the Void Century, Shandora fell to the Twenty Kingdoms that would soon become the World Government. The Shandia fought to protect their poneglyph. After the Void Century, Shandora crumbled to ruins but the Shandia continued to guard the city.[1]

In 1122, Mont Blanc Noland visited the city.[2] In 1127, Shandora along with the half of Jaya was shot up to Skypiea. Shandora was under the Skypieans' control for the past four hundred years while the Shandia fought to take back Upper Yard.

During Enel's reign, he enslaved Gan Fall's Divine Squad in order to have them mine all the gold out of Shandora, leaving only ruins. The gold was used to build part of the Maxim.[3]

After the Upper Yard War, Shandora was back in the Shandia's hands, along with the Skypieans who lost their homes on Angel Island.[4]

The Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell, Shandorian Poneglyph Chamber, and the Sacrificial Altar are three notable locations in Shandora

Yep. The Golds all in the Maxima.

Oops, thanks!

Okay, assume all the gold's mysteriously vanished and it's just the regular ruins then. Not that it matters, because all gold belongs to Noodle anyway.

>nice to be nice (but not)

"Should we help those wounded guys?"

Chopper nods furiously, as Zoro and probably-a-priest start furiously going at it. "Yes, they need a doctor immediately!"

Sanji, already walking towards the cage, sighs. "Chopper, you're a doctor."

While Dr Cutie fails in surprise at the reminder, you head over to take a look yourself.

You have no idea how they got inside the cage in the first place, but judging from the freaky shapeshifting abilities of the guy's sword, you suspect that's what's carved the wounds into them.

Three of them, two men and a woman, are still alive - the last, a massive guy, is clearly dead.

Strawhat pokes at one of the weird thorns on the bars, scowling, before drawing his arm back.

"Don't punch it, idiot!" The Witch reaches out to grab his arm, before a basic plan quickly comes together; Kohza turns to sand and enters between the cage's bars to provide some emergency aid, while Nico glances over at you.

"Mr Guest, can you break through these at all?"

You shrug, unsheathing Ka-tan. "I could try my sword..."

While most of the Strawhats watch the fight (either for fun or in case the guy starts attacking the rest of you, maybe), you swing Ka-tan back, carefully planning out where to need to cut, and then slam her forwards.

(Metal Cutting increased to B.8!)

You can feel the sudden resistance from the cage - if this is regular iron, you'll eat your cap - but Ka-tan forces her way through, though with a great deal more pressure than you'd have liked.

Another swing, further up, sends some of the odd, thorned bars tumbling, and Chopper rushes through the hole to take over from Kohza before you can even comment on the weird density.

"... I'll just guard here, then," you say, as Nico steps through to assist, and glance over at where most of the others are watching Zoro.

He isn't doing great, but he isn't getting his ass kicked - even awkwardly using Kami-e once or twice to dodge those freaky, shapeshifting strikes - so you motion Noodle over and give it avoid petting instead.

Bonding with your children is important! ... Although you have no idea what's going to happen to it when you get back home to the White Mist.

You're pretty sure Smoboss will murder you if you turn up with a giant, ex-maneating snake as your new child. It might not be considered normal.

Seeing as they seem to have (literally) all the hands they need for the wounded warriors (and because you know approximately zero first aid), you decide to watch the fight instead.

Not that you actually care about the stupid swordsman's stupid fight, but it's something to do.

The remainder of of the Strawhats, plus Sogeking, are cheering as they watch, ready to move on the occasion of the priest-guy attacking them instead. As It is, he seems pretty busy with Zoro, and a lot more competent than you two that you faced.

Zoro has all three swords out, and is... surprisingly good. You're not going to say 'impressive', because no pirate is impressive, but he's aggravatingly strong, fast and skilled, and his grasp of Kami-e is quickly increasing as he realizes how useful it is for avoiding the priest's bullshit attacks.

... Seriously, it's a cool weapon, but it's not a sword. Really. Swords don't DO that.

>be a good rival

Ignoring the delighted whoops of Strawhat, you watch carefully, even as the priest slams an 'Iron Whip' technique through yet another wall.

Zoro seems to have figured out that the guy knows exactly where he is, and doesn't bother to hide - he's making use of high mobility instead, although the priest is doing far too well at keeping him at range.

... Really, that is NOT a sword, dammit.

Roronoa is slowly getting the priest's measure, but it's hard going - something you're grateful for, because it means you're seeing a lot more than in your own fights with your self-proclaimed rival.

Annoyingly, some of it's even educational.

(Swordsmanship +1! Kami-e increased to C.8!)

"That's enough!" After nearly slamming into a giant wall formed out of the not-sword, Zoro apparently can't be bothered any more. Probably mostly because Sanji keeps mocking him from the sidelines.

And then he pulls out the '108 Pound Cannon' technique, which brings him victory through FLYING GODDAMN SLASHES, because why not.

You swallow hard, even as the others (minus a scowling Sanji) burst into cheers. It's not like you didn't know flying slashes were possible, of course - you've even seen them done at the Academy. But you sure as hell can't do them YOURSELF.

Which means Roronoa Zoro is definitely ahead of you. Fuck.

On the bright side, he made his moves nice and clear while he was performing that stupid, asshole technique...

(Basic understanding of flying slashes gained, can be practiced!)

Roronoa ambles over, flashing a smug look at the chef as he does, sheathing his swords.

"That was really cool, Zoro!" Strawhat beams, the others adding their own, more casual congratulations.

"He was definitely tougher than my two," you admit a little reluctantly, regarding the two losers you... well, you wouldn't call it 'fought'.

Weirdly, Zoro looks even more smug after that, as if the opinion of a random, cannonball-throwing weirdo means anything, before he's pulled aside to have his wounds looked over by Robin.

Doctor Cutie's still hard at work on the Shandians, which means, much to Strawhat's disappointment (he wants to go beat up God) and delight (food), a general break for lunch is agreed.

As bento boxes are unpacked, and the surviving Shandians roused to consciousness, you can help but eye the defeated priest warily.

Nothing. I feel like those are two options that don't really make sense, Flash has never been so cold-hearted as to slit someone's throat when they're already defeated. And his usual style of killing people who are actively attempting to kill him and/or are pirates who are doing pirate things isn't some terrible thing to stand by.

Regardless, didn't he get hit by flying slashes? Gonna die of blood loss anyway.

Yes, when you hit A in Metal Cutting and B in Flying Slashes. Good news, flying slashes are pretty simple once you've got the theory down, so it should level fast.

Once you've got A.5 in Metal Cutting, the skill will disappear and be folded in to Swordsmanship, along with a nice boost. Yay!

>but one-shots are funny

While eating, you consider the unconscious priest. You already know the Strawhats are... hardly murderous, but the casual way everyone settles down not too far from a defeated enemy seems ridiculous to you.

Back on the White Mist, you were the somewhat eccentric one. Here, these assholes are making you the straight man, the responsible one who actually deals with enemies appropriately You don’t think you’re enjoying it very much.

More importantly... it actually seems to be working for them? Somehow. Leaving knocked out enemies in their wake, like they have no idea of it kicking them in the ass one day. It’s not like you’re some kind of a murderous lunatic, but your own inclinations - and Academy training - have always been very much directed towards ‘live capture where reasonable, but fuck ‘em if not’.

Not that you think there’s a problem with that! But... maybe you’ve been a little lax in the capturing-part, and gone towards killing as the first and second resorts? Maybe?

... Eh. Shit’s complicated.

You sigh, shoving after mouthful in your grub-hole, and then side-eye Sogeking, who’s eating his own food next to you, having finished regaling Doctor Cutie with tales of Sniper Island (he’s insisting it’s in people’s hearts, which you guess might be a local, cultural thing regarding loyalty to one’s home?

Although his face is wrapped in clean bandages, he seems a little familiar somehow.

“So,” you say, trying to be reasonably my friendly to the guy who thought dragging you aboard the Strawhat’s ship and opening you to a world of moral confusion was just fine and fun, “how DO you know Usopp anyway? Huh?”

Although his face is wrapped in clean bandages, he seems a little familiar somehow.

“So,” you say, trying to be reasonably friendly to the guy who thought dragging you aboard the Strawhats’ ship and opening you to a world of moral confusion was just fine and fun, “how DO you know Usopp anyway? Huh?”

Sogeking pauses eating - almost freezing, really - before chewing slower, eyes hidden behind his goggles. Does he have the same eye problem that Sunglasses has?

“Uh - Usopp and I - well. Ha! You see, my good friend Usopp is a sharpshooter as well, and happened to wash up on the shores of Sniper Island, after his ship was sunk by, um, a huge school of seakings.”

He nods solemnly at his explanation, while several others nearby watch on with the blandest expressions you’ve ever seen. Presumably they either don’t know Usopp well, or have already heard this before. “Anyway, the annual Sniper Festival was coming up, and Usopp was taken in by the lowest-ranking sharpshooter-team on the island -“

Strawbrat butts in, eyes wide. “Sharpshooters have teams?!”

“Yes, absolutely, of course,” Sogeking confirms, “what a ridiculous question, everyone knows that.”

Shit, YOU didn’t know that. You keep quiet and try to look like you did.

“Anyway, for the medical care they gave him, Usopp decided to thank them by training them in his own secret sniping techniques -“

“What techniques?! Are they cool?!” Strawbrat and Doctor Cutie sure are bouncing now.

“They’re secret, I can’t tell you. But yes, they’re the coolest! So Usopp taught them his sniping skills, and led them to their first victory in the annual Sniper Tournament!”

“I thought it was a festival,” Sanji comments innocently.

“It’s both, okay?! It’s BOTH. So anyway, obviously Usopp was lauded around Sniper Island, for his amazing skill, and we all wanted him to stay - but he had to get back to East Blue, because there was a beautiful princess there who needed his help. So I, being the greatest sniper on the island -“

“Except for Usopp,” Zoro adds.

“Well, greatest NATIVE sniper, obviously - I offered to escort him on my ship. And that’s how we know each other!”

“Fascinating,” Kohza acknowledges, voice flat. “And where is this ship, now?”

“Oh, it was sunk in a, in a, a terrible storm! One whipped up by a foul sorceress after we saved Usopp’s princess from her!”

Sanji smirks, taking a deep drag on a cigarette. “Hey, Sogeking, who’s a better sniper - you or Usopp?”

“..... I. Um. Wouldn’t want to - a true sniper doesn’t brag of their skills! There’s no ‘better’ when it comes to shooting! Only sniper and target!”

“That doesn’t make any-“

“I’m-taking-a-leak-goodbye!”

Apparently speed is also a good attribute for a sharpshooter, because he vanishes in about five seconds flat.
