As Coby and Nami rode, the scenery changed, revealing a breathtaking sight—a sprawling island floating in the sky sea. The island was vibrant and lush, with towering trees and cascading waterfalls made of white, fluffy clouds. Nami slowed the Waver down as they approached the shore, both of them awestruck by the beauty of the place.

"Wow," Nami whispered, her eyes wide with wonder. "I never imagined something like this could exist."

Coby nodded in agreement, though his gaze remained sharp. "It's incredible…"

Nami then turned to Coby, her eyes glinting with mischief. Without warning, she kissed him with fervor, pressing herself against him. "We're all alone here. Wanna do it?" she teased, her voice low and tempting.

Coby felt the heat rising between them, but he gently held her back, a smirk playing on his lips. "Nami, not now. We've got a voyeur watching us."

Nami blinked, her mood deflating slightly as she looked around. "A voyeur? Where?"

Coby chuckled, certain Enel had heard him, but surprisingly, the god of Skypiea didn't lash out. Instead, a blood-curdling scream echoed from the nearby forest, snapping both of them to attention.

They whipped around just in time to see the masked man from earlier coming towards the island as well, his bazooka slung over his shoulder. Behind them on the island, a man bolted through the underbrush, terror etched on his face as four figures pursued him with deadly intent. Coby recognized them immediately—they were Enel's priests, each racing to kill their prey.

The masked man, seemingly uninterested in the chase, took aim with his bazooka, sending a massive blast toward the priests. The explosion temporarily halted their pursuit, but before they could react, a pillar of lightning struck down from the heavens, vaporizing the fleeing man in an instant. The sheer power of the attack left the air crackling with energy.

Nami's face went pale as she took in the devastation. She stared at the smoldering ground where the man had been just moments ago, her mind racing. 

Coby listened as the priests regrouped and began talking amongst themselves. Their conversation confirmed Nami's worst fears—they mentioned the "10 heads" that entered Skypiea without paying the entrance fee. Nami quickly realized they were referring to her crew, including Bellamy and Sarquiss.

Nami's hands trembled slightly as she took in the devastation left by the lightning strike. She was scared, her heart pounding in her chest. The sheer power of the attack made her want to return to the crew and warn them immediately. But just as she was about to take off, she felt Coby's arms wrap around her from behind. His embrace was strong and steady, and suddenly, all her fears seemed to dissipate. She sighed in relief, leaning back into his warmth for a brief moment of comfort.

"We need to go back," Coby whispered into her ear.

With a nod, Nami agreed, and the two of them quickly made their way back to Angel's Beach. As they arrived, they saw Conis and her father, Pagaya, talking to the rest of the crew. The conversation seemed tense, and from the looks on everyone's faces, they weren't getting good news.

"Upper Yard… it's the land of God," Conis was explaining, her voice tinged with fear. "It's forbidden. No one is allowed to go there."

Luffy, however, seemed unfazed by the warnings. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he grinned widely. "Forbidden? Sounds like fun!"

Before anyone could respond, Coby stepped forward, his expression calm but firm. "We're leaving. Now."

The crew turned to look at him, surprised by the sudden change in plans. Conis and Pagaya exchanged conflicted glances, clearly torn between their orders and the realization that the crew were good people. They had been tasked with delaying the Straw Hats until the priests could set up their traps and steal the Going Merry, but now that plan was falling apart.

"Thank you for your hospitality," Coby added, his tone polite but leaving no room for argument. He motioned for the crew to follow him, and despite their confusion, they followed.

Sanji, however, wasn't happy with the decision. He marched up to Coby after they reached Merry, grabbing him by the collar. "Why the hell are we suddenly leaving, you bastard? I was talking to Conis-chan!"

Without missing a beat, Coby kicked Sanji square in the face, sending him flying off the ship and into the White-White Sea below.

As they boarded the Merry, Coby gathered the crew below deck. He had written down everything they needed to know about the current situation. The crew huddled around him, reading the notes carefully.

Reading the notes, the crew frowned. It became clear that the "God of Skypiea" could listen to everything happening on the island through his Observation Haki, amplified by his Goro Goro no Mi ability. This made him capable of tapping into electromagnetic waves, allowing him to hear even the faintest whispers. The realization set in—Enel wasn't just any foe; he was an extremely dangerous one.

Robin pieced the clues together in her mind. The Goro Goro no Mi was indeed a powerful fruit, granting its user control over lightning, making Enel nearly invincible. The thought of facing him without a solid plan weighed heavily on her.

As they absorbed the information, Coby grinned casually and said, "This island seems strange. There might be some treasures lying around." He kept his tone light, as if they were just chatting about mundane things. The crew quickly caught on—Coby was trying to mislead Enel, who was undoubtedly listening in.

The crew didn't discuss the contents of the notes any further. Instead, they shifted the conversation to trivial matters, playing along with Coby's diversion.

Sanji, who had climbed back on board after his dunk in the White-White Sea, shook the water from his hair and read the paper as well. "So, where are we heading next?" he asked, trying to mask his curiosity about what they just read.

Coby casually pointed in the direction of the Upper Yard. "That way. Seems like the best bet if we want to find something valuable."

Nami glanced around, catching sight of Bellamy and Sarquiss, still chained to the railing. "What about them?"

Coby shrugged. "They'll stay put for now."

As they neared the Upper Yard, the sky darkened slightly, and the once serene sea of clouds began to swirl ominously. They could feel the air thickening with the promise of a storm, and the distant rumble of thunder echoed through the sky.

Luffy stood at the bow, his eyes fixed on the towering trees and mysterious structures that came into view. "This place looks awesome!" he shouted, his excitement cutting through the tension. As they approached the shore, the crew prepared to disembark.

Seems like Enel had taken the bait. He was waiting for the Straw Hat crew to climb the island now that his initial plan had failed. The optimal path would have been to capture the crew and their ship, forcing them to face the trials of his priests. But this scenario was good too. After all, he was bored, and this would serve as entertainment for him.

As the crew began their ascent, they moved deeper into the island, the lush greenery giving way to a more ominous and foreboding atmosphere. Soon, they found themselves intercepted by four priests and hundreds of their underlings, each one radiating an aura of confidence.

Coby scanned the area quickly, sizing up the situation before stepping over to a nearby tree. He turned to the crew, his expression serious. "Fight them," he instructed. "Those four know Observation Haki. This will give you an idea of its powers."

Coby had already briefed the crew on what little he knew about Haki, but since he couldn't demonstrate it himself, he figured the best way for them to learn was through combat. The priests they were about to face all knew Observation Haki, making them the perfect opponents to give the Straw Hats a crash course.

Coby felt a pang of conflict. By accelerating the plot and pushing the events forward, some of the memorable moments from the anime wouldn't happen. Luffy's goofy North North song, Chopper's "Nanimo Wakatta." Yes,Chopper did it first! The late-night party, the appearance of the Klabautermann, Luffy's vow to ring the golden bell, and Robin's fierce rage as she tore through Enel's forces to protect history—all of that was gone. But there was no turning back now.

Luffy cracked his knuckles, an excited grin spreading across his face. "Sounds like fun! I'll take down as many as I can!"
