332- Two Sora

Days passed by but one day, something strange happen. A rain fall on their ship, this rain is not water, but rubble. They look up and saw a big ship fall upside down from the sky.

"WAAAAHHH!!" Nami and Chopper were terrified seeing this while the rest of the crew were stunned because they never expected in their lives to see the sky can rain ships.

The ship was directly above theirs and almost collided with it but Desire made a barrier over the Black Pearl Freya.

The fallen ship hit the bulkhead, broke apart, and then fell into the sea.

The impact make a very big wave that make Black Pearl Freya sway around. They all hold on to something so they don't fall.

Ethan was unaffected by the swaying of the ship and remained standing motionless, while Sora and Chopper clung to his legs tightly.

"It's a dream...Cast aside your worries. Calmly close your eyes... When you open your eyes, a quiet morning lies before you... KYAAAAA~" Nami open her eyes but a skeleton fall right in front of her, make her very freak out. She throw the skeleton away but it falls in front of Ethan, so Chopper who was clinging to him freaked out too.

After a while, the waves calmed down, and the Black Pearl Freya no longer swayed.

"Why the heck did a ship fall from the sky?!" Lucy looked up at the sky in confusion as Sora mimicked her.

Kuina: "There is nothing in the sky."

"Oh, the Grand Line is a crazy place! scary~" Chopper did not let go of Ethan's leg and continued to hold on tightly.

"Ahhh, Ethan, What're we gonna do?! My Log Pose is broken! It's stuck pointing upwards!" Nami suddenly screamed and showed him the log pose that was pointing to the sky. "Ethan, can I borrow yours?"

Ethan: "No need of that."

Robin approached Nami and looked at the log pose and she remembered that in Alabasta Ethan said that their next destination is Sky Island and there will be a Poneglyph. So she is happy while explaining to Nami "No, it's not broken. It was updated by an island with stronger magnetism. If the Loa Pose needle is pointing upwards, that means the log has been caught by the sky island."

"Sky island?" The crew gathered around Nami and Ethan.

"A floating island?!" Lucy seems so excited about it.

Zora looked at the sky but she found nothing resembling an island. "How can an island stay on the sky? I don't see something like an island at all."

Ethan: "There's a sea up there, and the island is on that sea"

"Yaay! There's a sea with an island floating in the sky?! Alright! Let's head there right away!" Lucy and her daughter became more excited. "Hey, guys! Turn the rudder upwards!"

Sora, who was excited, looked at her mother strangely "Mommy, you can't turn upwards!"

"You're right." Lucy sat on the ground and started to think and a bright thought popped into her mind, "Freya can make the ship float to the Sky Island."

Lucy held her daughter's hands and they danced happily while singing 'Sky Island~ Here we come~'

Nami couldn't believe it. "It's impossible for an islandor a sea to float in the air! So the Log Pose really must be broken."

On the Grand Line a navigator should never suspect the log pose and Ethan had to teach this to Nami. "You can't use logic in this sea, if there is something you can always believe, it is the log pose. A Navigator should never question where the log pointed to, no matter how impossible the situation is. Something that you need to be questioned in this sea is your logic itself, not the pose."

Ethan pulled out his log pose, "Look it's pointing in the same direction."

Zora sighed while looking at Nami as if she was clueless, "Sigh, we just come out from a place that defy our time and space knowledge and you still question an island on the sky?"

"T-that..." Nami lowered her head, but after a moment she raised her head and looked at Zora with a frown. "You say this, but you also did not believe in the existence of Sky Island."

Ethan stopped them before they could quarrel. "Anyway, I know that Sky Island exists because I've been there before."

After Ethan said that, everyone stopped doubting and believed in the existence of Sky Island.

Robin gather the skeleton and put the pieces together. She start to examine the skeleton, and Sora look at the process intensely. "Mom Robin, why are you playing with skeletons?"

"I do not play." Robin smiled as she continued to work, "I'm trying to find out information about the origin of this skeleton."

"Can information be extracted from a skeleton?" Sora tilted her head in confusion.

When Robin start her research at the skeleton. Lucy and Chopper explore the ship. They both go inside the wrecked ship and look around every room.

Sora was in a difficult situation. Should she go with her mother to explore the ship? Or watch Robin and see how she extracts information from a skeleton? Both options were interesting and hard to decide. 'Sora only wishes there were two Sora, if there were two Sora then Sora could do both at the same time.'

Magical energy started flowing from Sora's body, fulfilling her wish.

Next to Sora, another Sora appears. They were both surprised upon seeing each other but moments later a big smile appeared on their faces as they excitedly thought, 'Now Sora can do both at the same time.'

As if they understood each other, one of them moved towards the ship to explore with Lucy while the real Sora kept watching Robin.

The crew members watching this couldn't help but open their mouths in shock.

"Did you see what I saw, or are my eyes deceiving me?" Honey Queen rubs her eyes.

"I saw that too." Marianne said softly as she ate some rice crackers and drank tea as usual.

"Is this a dream? Of course it is a dream. There is no such thing as a sky island. hahaha." Zala asked and answered herself while laughing as she tried to convince herself that morning had come and it was time to wake up.

"It is not a dream." Croco is also startled by the appearance of two Sora, but she hides her shock by showing a cold expression.

Zala: "Pinch me please, and then I will know whether I am dreaming or not."

Croco without any hesitation punched Zala in the nose. After that, she spoke in a deep, relaxed voice, "So, are you in a dream?"

Zala grabbed her bleeding nose and yelled at Croco, "I told you to pinch me, not to punch me!"

"Who do you think you are talking to?" Croco's tone of voice made Zala tremble, then she apologized. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice at you."

Croco was about to ignore Zala but she saw Ethan looking at her so she looked at Zala and apologized too but it was clear from her tone of voice that she didn't mean that at all, "I'm sorry too, I seem to have a problem with my hearing."

"Ethan, what just happened?" Ann demands an explanation from Ethan, "Did you give Sora devil fruit?"

"She didn't eat a Devil Fruit. The moment this happened, I felt magical energy emitting from Sora's body." After Ethan finished explaining, he looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "As a witch, you were supposed to find out, too."

Ann laughed dryly while rubbing her cheek with her index finger.
