15 Skypiea

[Crocodile pov:]

The members of my crew were rather shocked when it was revealed that we had to pay a fee in order to advance on this island.

Then after a lovely meeting witha certain sky knight former ruler we began making our way to Angel Island. There like the Straw Hat Pirates I the original work we encountered Conis who after giving a waver to Nami was rather impressed with the control she had over it, apparently it was very hard to master this skill. From her we also found out the current acting God, Enel who has a bad temper and that he father Pagaya is a sort of mechanic.

[Hmmm... Pagaya I have a request for him, I wonder if he can do it.]

After Nami and Robin began talking to Conis she agreed to show us around, but I think it was mainly because of Rob Lucci. She had hearts in her eyes after seeing him, lets just say he played a big role in her decision to help us.

We saw many things at the stalls on our way to Pagaya's house, almost all being useless. When we arrived at her father's house we met with an older gentleman, Pagaya.

Pagaya is a man of average height. He is almost bald but has the typical Skypiean hair antennae sticking out. He has a strange round beard covering his mouth, and he is always shown with closed eyes, however he seems fully able to both see and talk.

We made our way inside his ouse before:

"Hey old man, could you take a look at this and tell me if you can build it? It should function similarly to a Waever oy much faster." I say as I give him some blueprints.

"This is... Yes this design should work, and by being bigger than a Waever I should be able to make it go faster. Yes I can make this." -Pagaya

"Great old man, tell me how long do you think it will take to make one?" -Crocodile

"Considering that I didn't try anything like this before it should take me a weak, but after I get the basics done I should be able to make one in a few days or even less." -Pagaya.

"Good, I want three here is your payment if you succeed." I said as I show him a jar full of dirt or Vearth as they call it here.

"Hey are you trying to scam this poor old man?" -Nami

"What How do you have so much Vearth, it's a crime to steal from the Upper Yard." -Pagaya

"You shouldn't worry about that, just take it." -Crocodile

"Wait why aren't you both upset, he is paying you with dirt!" -Nami

"Dirt? What are you talking about, this is Vearth a precious resource from the land of God, it's the most valuable thing one can possess." -Conis

"Nami do you know the story of liar Noland? Noland was an Admiral in Lvneel Kingdom who made multiple trips into the Grandline. On one such trip he discovered Jaya, where he met Kalgara and his Tribe, after befriending them they showed him the most incredible thing a city made out of gold..."

"A city of gold?!!!" Said Nami as her eyes turned into berry.

"Yes... When Noland returned with stories of what he had seen the king ordered Noland to take him to this miraculous island. But when they arrived the island disappeared and so Noland was executed for his lies thus getting the name Liar Noland."

"Wait so there isn't a city of gold? Give me my feelings back! You should have started with that." -Nami

"But... what most people don't know was that Noland was telling the truth. You see Jaya is only half of the island that it used to be. Originally she had the shape of a skull but now only the lower part remains. Noland was a victim of unforseen circumstances, in reality the other half of Jaya where the gold city resides was pushed up by the Knock Up Stream, and became what is now known as the Upper Yard, the land of God." -Crocodile

"Though plants can grow on Island Clouds, they cannot germinate in them. Thus, vearth is the most valuable substance in Skypiea." -Pagaya

"???!!!!" Robin's face quickly as she saw a small cloud fox peeping from behind Conis's legs.

"Whay is that?" -Robin

"Ah this is Su my cloud fox pet." -Conis

Robin has been shown to like cute things so when she saw Su she immediately picked it up and play with the little fox.

We stayed some more at Pagaya's house after which we separated, me, Rob Lucci and Mr.1 began making out way towards the Upper Yard to meet this "God" while Robin accompanied us in order to see the gold city. Nami and Miss. Valentine remained on Angel Island while Mr.5 and Miss. Doublefinger wanted to go explore God knows where.

On our way to Enel we run into The Birka Priests and some divine soldiers but they were quickly killed by Rob Lucci and Mr.1, well mostly Rob Lucci. After this fiasco a certain someone decided to make himself known.

"Hmm... So you're the lot that's been killing my priests." A figure of pure lightning who soon materialized into a pale-skinned man with a well-toned yet somewhat wiry build, standing very tall at 266cm said.

"I presume you're Enel the God of Skypiea, ami I correct?" -Crocodile

"Yes you are, it seems like you lot are rather stupid, walking on my land and killing MY subordinates even though you know of me." -Enel

"Anyways I don't think you really care about these... soldiers so let's not dwell to much on them. I came here with a question: Will you join my pirate crew or will I be forced to execute you like I did your people?" -Crocodile
