AN:-I DO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT UPLOADING A CHAPTER FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, SHIT WAS HARD IN OUR FAMILY. MY BROTHER ONLY JUST HAD THE FULL IMPACT OF OUR GRANDMOTHER DYING AND HE IS CRYING RIVER. SO, AS AN APOLOGY, I WILL GIVE A 'BIG 'GIANT' SPOILER AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER (WINK WINK) ANYWAYS, HOPE YOU LIKE CHAPTER 20.

[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]

Enel looks again, this time confident that he is superior-

'w-wha-' he falls to the ground in terror, sensing the immense power that he sensed before. Someone Stronger than HIM, The GOD itself.

What kind of Monster arrived at the Island?-

[1ST POV]

"Woah!" Chopper looks over in pure wonder, along with Nami, Bentham, Usopp, Sanji and Luffy who look over to the cloud which has huts on it. After following Wyper, we reached the place the Shandorians lived for the past 400 years, right below the Upper Yard AKA Shandora/Jaya.

"SUGEI!!" Luffy, who was jumping on some clouds, comes back to the Ship, completely enjoying whatever is happening here. While I Look over the 2 screens which has appeared before me, a Skill Window, and An Observation window-

ALTITUDE ADAPTATION - PASSIVE - (Lv1) (EXP-0.2%)

Slight resistance to altitude sickness.

damn, i am gaining skill after skill today, this might be my luckiest day i guess?

now, for the person whom i was observing-

Leader Of The Shandia Warriors

Wyper

Lv???

HP - ???

STR:- ???

VIT (HP):- ???

DEX (AGI):- ???

INT:- 83

WIS:- 102

LUK:- 33

Wyper is the leader of the Shandia Warriors and is well respected by them, even after knowing his violent Nature and his Will to fight. He fights for the Will Of His ancestors,Kalgara. His goal in life is to defeat Enel and Reclaim His home, Shandora and ring the Golden Bell to Prove to the descendants of Noland that Noland was telling the truth.

Emotions - Hopeful, Doubtful, Agitated, Annoyed.

'that's a lot of emotions.' With Wyper already reaching the temporary home of the shandians and waiting for us, it gives me time to think of a plan to deal with the Shandorians. Wyper, being the leader of their Warriors, is the most powerful of them. He fought on Par with Luffy when they faced each other in Upper Yard in Canon, and even fought against Zoro too. he had the highest durability in the arc including Luffy, who is injured by Impact dials, nevermind Reject dials-

"Do you know anything about Shandora?" I look back at the one who asked this question, and as it's to be expected, it is Robin who asks this. I shrug, (which I do most of the time when answering her) and give some kind of one-the spot made up story.

"Nope. not entirely, but if my guess is right, then this is the same island where a Poneglyph is located." Robin's eyes widen, and she looks forwards, determined. I look amused, but I know that the Golden Bell is located in some kind of Cloud near to the Upper Yard.

"We have arrived." Sanji speaks up from the Lookout, pointing at the cloud that has huts in it. In Front of the cloud stands Wyper, who is waiting for the three ships to arrive at his 'home'.

"...come with me." He turns, acting all edgy and starts walking into the make-shift village. All of us, including the Saruyama Alliance, get out of the ship, and with me putting Going Merry inside My Inventory, all of us walk into the village.

As we walk, I look over and notice that many people with a similar color skin tone and wings on their back look at us as we walk behind Wyper. These must be the Shandorians.

Along with Sanji, Bentham and Zoro, I look from side to side, all of us sensing a little hostility and un-trustiness (if that is a word). We don't respond, knowing that their behavior towards us is kinda justified. All of us go inside a tent where we meet the supposed Chief Of Shandians.

The Shandia chief is an elderly man with a gray beard and mustache, and long hair of the same color. He wears the standard Shandia attire, covered by a long robe, and carries a staff, with a tribal mask on the top, and white fur underneath it. On his head, the Shandia chief wears a canine head as a helmet, decorated with feathers.

"So, you are the person who is a Descendant of Montblanc Noland?" The chief looks at Cricket, and I sigh. Knowing this is gonna take some time, I decide to kick back and relax.

[1-Hour Later]

"- so, the Island protected a 'secret text' for its whole life?" Robin asks, her tone excited. Something finally interests her. She asked Me about the contents of it, but I wisely kept the knowledge quiet and told her about me not knowing what the Ponyglyph specifies.

I cannot possibly, in a logical sense, have information that disappeared 400 years ago. I give her an excuse that it was said that there is a poneglyph in the missing island.

"Yeah, that's what our Ancestors, even Older than the Great warrior Kalgara did for the past couple of centuries." The chief turns to Look at both Wyper and Cricket, who are talking with a smile on their faces.

I smile, satisfied that Cricket finally got the peace he tried to find, and Wyper finally fulfilled one of his dreams, which is to ring the Golden bell to the ancestors of Noland to give them proof that what he said was the truth.

Both Cricket and Wyper instantly clicked when talking and now, they are talking about their Life like long lost friends.

"Ahhh!" Chopper screams, running and trying to remove the little girl that is hanging on him. Aisa, a small shandian girl is grabbing onto Chopper's Horn.

Aisa is a small Shandia girl. She wears a fur dress and cap. In the manga, her dress and cap are yellow and in the lines are white. The side cloth of her cap is also green. She has short brown hair.her dress is brown, and her cap is yellow-white, with white cloth on the sides. And She also carries a tan satchel, with yellow buckles.

"Hahahaha" Aisa is having fun for the first time in her life, and she isn't gonna leave Chopper alone for quite some time. I also look at Usopp who is trying, but failing to make anyone believe his lies.

Nami is talking with a woman named Raki who is a tall, black-haired woman, with two large bangs parted to either side of her face on the front, and a long and elaborate ponytail on the back. She has dark green eyes, and her lips are apparently covered with pink lipstick.

"Oh, is that so?" Raki laughs at something Nami said. The rest of the crew is also interacting with the Shandians, who have become friends with us.

"Hey, Rai!" Luffy calls to me, and I get up and walk towards him, him holding the shooters. He tried to ride the vehicle that the Shandians use, but he fell so much that I think he suffered more brain damage than he already has.

"What's up?" Luffy has a gleam in his eye that I don't like. He is up to something that would force me to create plans and shit-

"Let's explore The Upper Yard!" His grin is annoying to me, since I figured he was gonna do some shit like this. I sigh, and shrug, letting him do whatever he wants.

"OI GUYS. WE ARE GOING TO UPPER YARD!" He screams, and all of our crew snaps their heads towards Luffy and Me. They look at me (Expect Zoro) and try to tell me to convince Luffy otherwise, but I shrug.

"Captain's Orders." They sigh, whispering something bad about me. I roll my eyes, knowing that they are cursing me since I kinda let Luffy do whatever he wants.

"Do you guys know what you are talking about?" Wyper gets up, looking a little angry. He and the chief explained their situation about the Upper yard to them before, but the fact that Luffy doesn't care much about it and wants to Explore Their Hometown like a tour is kinda making him angry.

"Well, Luffy also means that we will help take care of the people living in Upper Yard. In your words, we are going to war." Knowing that the time has come, I reveal my (disguising it as Luffy's) intention to deal with the situation.

Luffy looks at me confused, since he never even intended to get into the matter of helping Shandians. Before he could even object to it, Wyper speaks up, this time a little less angry and fired up.

"And how do you plan to do that?" His tone is sarcastic, and before I could even speak, Nami grabs my mouth and drags me, while all the other StrawHats, including Luffy, surround me in a circle

"What do you think you are doing?" Nami whispers in anger, knowing completely well that Luffy didn't mean what I said. She doesn't understand why I am involving ourselves in the matter of Shandians.

Well, the reason is-

HEROIC QUEST CREATED

HELP THE SHANDIANS

DESCRIPTION:-

Shandians have been fighting for 400 years to reclaim their land. Help them achieve this mission to put the spirit of the Great Warrior Kalgara to rest.

Time Limit:- 1 Day

Rewards:-

Reclaim Upper Yard:- + 40,000,000 EXP, SKILL BOOK <WILLPOWER OF WARRIORS>.

???- + 50,000,000 EXP, SKILL BOOK <LIGHTNING MANIPULATION>, SKILL BOOK <MANTRA > .

???- 10,000,000 EXP, SKILL BOOK <MANTRA >, ALL WEAPONS.

???- ALL GOLD, FAVOURABILITY FOR SHANDIANS BY 100%

Failure:- Death

Well, you can guess why. 100,000,000 EXP for this quest, plus all the individual quests I will create when I defeat someone in the Upper Yard, all that will accumulate in at least 4 level Ups. This isn't even the true reason why I accepted this quest-

Lightning manipulation being in the quest reward means that Enel is also included in the quest, which makes sense since my subconscious interprets freeing Shandora as Defeating the God, Enel. And if this is similar to the quest I got after saving Alabasta, all I need to do is 'help' Luffy Defeat Enel.

Luffy is guaranteed to win, and if he isn't guaranteed to win, I will MAKE sure He Wins.

"Well, if we help them, we can get the Gold that is supposed to be here." I grin at Nami, and as I expected, Her eyes turn to Beris, Hook, Line and Sinker. One down-

"Sanji, are you gonna let these innocent women continue to suffer just because you didn't want to have a fight?" Another victim down-

"You-" Zoro is shocked just how low I am, but next is his turn anyways.

"Who knows, there might be someone up there that could push you to new heights?" Zoro closes his mouth, deep in thought. I turn to Robin, who has a smile on her face, already knowing what I am about to say.

"Don't you wanna show the power of the Okamas to people who don't know what it is?" Bentham is delighted, to the point i think he might...cum-

Anyways!

"Luffy, Chopper, Bentham and Usopp, you don't wanna explore the unexplored place?" Even though Luffy is already in, this Hook, line and Sinker is for both chopper and Usopp, who easily fall into it.

"That's not fair." Nami whines, already knowing she is in this supposed fight, although she still would whine.

"NAMI-SWAN,ROBIN-CHAWN, I WILL PROTECT-" I decide to not hear Sanji's moanings and turn towards the Shandians, who have created a crowd and give them a thumbs up, giving our confirmation to enter the Upper Yard.

"We are coming too." Wyper, along with his Warriors all come in front, all geared up and ready to fight. A couple of seconds later, the Saruyama Alliance also stands up to join us.

" My Ancestor tried to prove this island till his last breath, if I cannot even try to save it, what kind of life have I lived?" Cricket gives his reason, motivating many other Shandians to also stand up and try to fight.

I scratch my head, thinking of using all of these people most efficiently, and a plan forms in my head, a look which makes the StrawHats realize that I have started creating a plan for our situation.

"Well-" I start to explain the plan, before a system window appears before me, with a new quest.

HIDDEN QUEST CREATED

RING THE GOLDEN BELL

DESCRIPTION:-

The tune of the Golden Belfry Bell signifies the bad relationship with the Shandians and the residents of Skypiea. It is said that the Ringing of the bell will conclude the 400 Year war. Ring the bell to help both the Shandians and Skypians.

Time Limit:- ∞

Rewards:-

STOP THE WAR BETWEEN SHANDIANS AND SKYPIANS:- +10,000,000 EXP, ALL EQUIPMENTS, FAVORABILITY INCREASED BY 100%

???- SKILL BOOK <ITEM DISMANTLE>, GOLDEN BELFRY BELL

Failure:- Death

'item dismantle?' as in, dismantling items to reuse them? Is it a skill like that? This quest was made as I made plans to use the fodders (the Saruyama Alliance and the remaining Shandians) to go and find the Golden bell by giving them some 'hints.'

Giving them explanations like "there might be a chance that the bell might NOT be in Shandora, the turbulence might have thrown it off." Or " you guys can check the surrounding clouds, and if there isn't, when we reclaim Upper Yard, it might be there." Etc etc.

We decided to divide ourselves into 2 groups, one for fighting, and another for finding.

Team Fighting Contains Luffy, Me, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Robin AND Wyper.

Team Finding contains all the people who are NOT part of the group, such as Nami, Bentham, Usopp, The Saruyama Alliance and the Warriors of the Shandians. while the warriors wanted to come with us, i denied them and sent them to the finding squad.

"NOOO!!! I WANNA GO WITH THEM!" Aisa tries to release herself from the hold of Raki, who is trying to hold the running Aisa. Aisa wants to go with us, but she is held back. Now, similarly to our side-

"Why am I here?" Chopper is almost tearing up, knowing extremely well that this group is full of fighters. Not him. Zoro opens his mouth to give Chopper couragement, but I open my mouth before he could speak up-

"Because you are a monster. You are one of our Strongest, why wouldn't we add you to fight?" I look at him, acting confused. I know that Chopper has self-confidence issues, similar to Usopp, but knowing that this is the right time to address it, I speak up again.

"But what if i-" he has objections, negative thoughts, and I scoff, looking back at him with an amused grin.

"You WILL Win. Stand Tall, you are Strong." I smile at him, and he starts tearing up-

"W-what are these tears-" Chopper grabs his face, trying to wipe it-

"Don't get emotional." Zoro speaks up, grabbing his swords. We have all entered the Upper Yard through a way that Aisa told us about, while whining to come with us.

While having her would be useful since she has Observation Haki since birth, something that she alone has in the series, but the story is different now. Who knows When Enel is gonna arrive at our location?

"So, you know anything about GOD?" I raise my eyebrows at Wyper asking this question. He has a look of deep thought, before answering us, although hesitantly since he isn't really sure if what he is saying is facts or not.

"He has eaten a devil fruit and is a devil fruit user, I think. He has powers that he calls 'divine Judgment.'" I raise my eyebrows, acting like I am looking at Wyper doubtfully, while on the inside, I am trying to think of an excuse to bring up the powers of Enel.

Goro Goro Mi or the rumble rumble fruit allows its user to become Lightning itself. This is the devil fruit that Enel ate. I go into deep thinking, trying to find a way for me to explain the powers, and as I think on, the others look at my thinking face and realize that I am figuring the situation out.

This makes them walk forward with confidence, Wyper feeling the change around him. While he is confused on why the crew is confident all of a sudden, he doesn't put his mind into it and continues walking, his trusted Bazooka tied to his back.

The group eventually come across a sculpture that looks like an altar. Robin snaps me out of my thinking, pointing towards it, and I realize where we are-

The sacrificial altar.

Wyper looks amazed at the altar, and I summon our Ship. All of us board it and sail towards the altar. We reach it and start climbing the stairs (with me putting Merry back into the inventory) and Robin is ahead of us, reaching the head first and reading the symbols and words there.

I look over too, remembering my training with Robin on The ancient Script and i realize what it says-

"The sacrificial Altar." Robin whispers, surprising everyone (except me) with the content. Wyper is conflicted, since he doesn't know why there is a sacrificial altar in his hometown-

Me, Luffy, Zoro and Wyper look above, to see many people come towards us. A person who is round shaped appears, sitting on some kind of ball made out of clouds. Along with him, there are three more people, a dude with a straight mustache, riding some kind of animal, similar to Gan Fall. A person who is shooting clouds out of his shoes and is clutching his lips and staring at us without blinking, and the last, a bald glasses guy with tattoos on his arm riding a big ass dog-

Yeah, weird.

"You intruders, who do you think you are-" says a person named Shura. Shura has a thin, pointed mustache that splits into two parts; on his head there is an aviator hat decorated with wings, and a pair of goggles on the front. His attire is composed of an orange fur-lined jacket, loose orange pants held up by a belt, fur-lined gloves and boots, and a purple scarf around his neck. He's dark haired, and on his back there is a pair of downturned wings.

"How dare you enter GOD'S Domain-" the other person, Ohm, speaks up. Ohm is a bald and muscular man of relatively average height with somewhat tanned skin. He has a pair of small wings sprouting from his back which extend down to near his waist. He has a small mustache and beard around his mouth, and wears a pair of small sunglasses over his eyes. He also wears a green sleeveless shirt, gray pants with several pockets, and dark leather boots with bandages around the soles.

".....YOU-" exclaims Gedatsu. Gedatsu is a tall, dark-skinned man. He has an unusual hairstyle, with a row of upward-pointing tufts or rasta-styled dreadlocks from ear to ear. He has a typical pair of wings on his back.He is wearing a matching purple jacket and pants, black gloves and shoes, a pink shirt, and a blue tie-like scarf around his neck.

"You know~, it is against GOD'S words-" says the person named Satori. Satori was a round-shaped man with fair skin and long, dark red hair. He is clad in a white, full-body jumpsuit, which has a vertical line of golden rings that ru-

*WHAM*

I 'teleport' right in front of Satori and, with Martial Reinforcement and One-Man Army active, getting a 140% (3 Shandians, 5 from my crew, 4 Ordeals, and 2 Animals) boost and Ram my fast into Satori's face, sending him off his ball of cloud, and falling towards the ground-

*WHAM*

I again appear right above Satori, this time activating another skill, something that I tried to use before during my 2nd training arc (in Alabasta), but couldn't use it properly.

'Fissure-' I shoot out both my arms in a similar pose to Six King Gun from Rokushiki techniques and slam it into Satori's body-

*BAM*

"Ugh!" Satori spits out blood, his internal organs damaged, and crashes into the ground.

Now, why am I attacking without no warning-

NORMAL QUEST CREATED

Time Limit- ∞

Rewards:- + 4,000,000 EXP, SKILL BOOK <MANTRA > , ALL ITEMS IN POSSESSION

I smile, excited about having Observation Haki. I open my inventory, and remove the skill book.

I decide to absorb the skill in the skill book, letting it disperse in air, letting the particles absorb into my body-

My senses explode, or at least that's what I think. My brain calms down, and I feel that I can sense everything in my vicinity.

'is this observation Haki-'

DUE TO ALREADY HAVING SKILLS SUCH AS <SENSE OF DANGER> AND <SENSE OF BLOODLUST> ALONG WITH <MANTRA >, THE SKILLS ARE MIXED TOGETHER TO CREATE A NEW SKILL.

SKILL <OBSERVATION HAKI> HAS BEEN CREATED.

'huh? Why is all my 3 skills combined-'

SKILL <OBSERVATION HAKI> IS REACTING WITH THE SYSTEM'S MAP, WOULD YOU LIKE THE MAP TO INTERACT WITH<OBSERVATION HAKI>?

ACCEPT(Y)/DECLINE(N)

'WHAT THE FUCK! Hell yeah!' If Observation Haki, which is a sixth sense ability that Uses WILLPOWER to sense others intentions and allows them to read someone's own willpower, figuring out their strength.

But, a question appears in my mind, how in the absolute fuck is Observation Haki gonna-

My senses explode again, this time overwhelming me so much that I get knocked up.

'ugh' my brain hurts for a second before I calm down. It seems that I deactivated my skill after getting knocked out. I shake my head, trying to remove the dizziness that would have occurred to me normally.

'skills-'

OBSERVATION HAKI - ACTIVE - (Lv1) (EXP-4.3%)

DESCRIPTION:-

Observation Haki is the ability to sense the presence, emotions, and intentions of others. It is an advanced manifestation of willpower, allowing users to expand their awareness beyond their physical senses. Observation Haki relies on the user's willpower and can allow the user to sense emotions, sense the opponent's strength, and sense the intentions of the user.

How did an ability that allows me to use my Willpower to read other people's Willpower and react according to it mix with The Map of all things?

The information dump I got when I let it happen overwhelmed me so fast that it knocked me out. And from what I remember, I was able to sense... My surroundings? I don't know how to properly explain it.

According to Rayleigh, ""Haki" is a power that lies dormant in all the world's creatures... "Presence", "fighting spirit" and "intimidation"... It is not different from the things that humans can naturally sense such as these... 'The act of not doubting'. That is strength!"

Haki is dormant in every living person, but most people around the world never even learn about the existence of Haki, let alone how to utilize it. But, the thing is that Haki is only dormant in living beings, not any other things.

The fact that I can sense things around me, non-living objects like Rocks, sands etc when it is used corresponds with the Map. Not only that, My Range Of Observation Haki is drastically increased if I let it interact with The Map. This....

Overwhelmed so much that I got knocked out before my Brain could catch up with the information. Whether it be My Passive Skill GAMER'S MIND, if my brain gets overloaded with information and I get knocked out, the skill becomes Useless.

This, the information i received are me able to feel the vibrations in the air and the ground, like it is a part of the world and interacting with-

Wait. Mr -NOTHING- Said that The quests are created through my subconscious formatting the situation and the rewards are selected by the system based on the information it receives from-

This World is Alive. It has a will of its own, and the overwhelming information I received was by accidently reading its strength, overwhelming me.

similar to how the Goro Goro No Mi enhanced Enel's Observation Haki by allowing him to sense the electromagnetic waves from the air, through the Map, my Observation Haki has also enhanced by allowing me to sense anything within which is visible to the Map. not only that, but as my Observation Haki increases it's range as a side-effect of interacting with the Map, more and more paths are cleared in the Map.

So, IF i use Observation Haki to scan the area, My Map will update itself to reveal new areas.

I-

I sigh, calming down. Not the time. There is no point in thinking about The World- No. gaia, having a will of its own. I can't do anything even if I want to, and I don't really want to honestly.

I look over to the dead Satori, noticing that the guy is naked, most probably gotten Looted by My Auto-looting option. I shrug, not really caring much about it.

I look at my status screen, seeing New information right now.

+2 IN INT AND +2 IN WIS

huh, either my discovery about Gaia having a will gave me this status increase, or the information that overwhelmed me had a side effect, but I don't really care to be honest.

But, another question arises, why was Mantra combined with Sense of Danger and Sense of Bloodlust to create Observation Haki, isn't it the same? Maybe it just changed the name after adding the other two skills or something?-

'Too much monologue. The Readers might get annoyed, so let's continue' I crack my neck, ready to continue on-

Before stopping and thinking of a plan to bring Enel into this SlugFest that is going to happen the moment I come out of my I.D.

I Have an idea, and that is to hurt the Ego of the Supposed GOD.

I grin, confident in my plan, and escape my Timeless I.D., appearing a little distance away, alone alone.

"YOU BASTARD! WHAT THE HELL-" Shura screams in anger, confused and angry at the fact that not only did I supposedly attack a Priest, but also did it in a way that cannot be explained no matter what. it might be a devil fruit power, but it is so effective against their Mantra that No one of the ordeals were able to sense him.

He was that fast.

"OI FAKE GOD! GET YOUR PATHETIC ASS HERE, WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY WITH YOUR WANKING TOYS." I Scream upwards, 'knowing' that Enel is listening to us using his Observation Haki. And while it might seem an idiotic thing to call upon the so-called god as he can attack from a distance that i Cannot dodge, I have a weapon.

I have the ability to Let My Skill Observation Haki interact with My Map, so if I wanted, I wouldn't need to interact with My Skill with the Map. 

I activated my Observation Haki, my pupils having a distinct red color to them, showing that I have activated it. inside my body, my.....Spirit, or my 'willpower' extends outside my body, forming a transparent area around myself that only I can see and feel. my brain receives images of people near to me, a silhouette of their Will, and i can finally sense the strength of both my allies and my enemies.

Willpower is the spiritual power of a person who wants to achieve their dreams. their inner resolve, their determination, and their ability to push through adversity is all part of the power that a person has. This is the 'will' of a person.

a DING sound charms in my voice, most likely my Skill <OBSERVE > has leveled up several times, but i don't let it distract me-

i 'teleport' to the side, reaching near Zoro, and the next second, Ohm's Extending sword crashes into it. and with that, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Robin along with 2 of the shandians (Except Wyper) all jump into the fray, deciding to deal with the Ordeals.

I Look up, not being able to feel Enel's presence. He should have appeared by now, but why isn't he here? I don't know, and a bad feeling envelopes me.

'Shit!' My plan was to talk shit to Enel, but it isn't working. I speak up once more, trying to discredit and talk shit about Enel, but he isn't responding at all. this worries me, before i calm myself and decide to take a risk-

I don't know what is happening, but Enel is not coming to us, and this bad feeling, like something we have never dealt with is gonna appear, is making me even more worried. but, knowing what to do, i steel myself, and grit my teeth-

since this is gonna hurt like a bitch.

i Activate my Observation Haki once More, this time letting it interact with MY Map, overwhelming my brain-

I exhale a lot of air, finally calming down. While the rush of information almost consumed me and knocked me out, this time me being ready saved my ass, and Gamer's Mind was effective in stopping the overload of my brain.

I looked around in wonder, the details I received before being knocked out were both beautiful and overwhelming, but now. i can See the beauty of the earth, the vibrations surrounding us, the leaf in a tree moving from side to side due to the air, the air being moved and shaken due to the clashes of the Ordeals and My crew-

Oh yeah, I got distracted. I focus on my Willpower, 'willing' it to extend beyond the range of my visibility. a normal human can see 3 miles clearly, but me, a superhuman can see at least 4 miles-

and that was before i unlocked this skill, which allows me to read the will of my surroundings, getting data for my Map to upgrade itself. the Range of my Haki increased in a tremendous rate, easily covering the entire island in the matter of 10 seconds and i-

huh? I feel two- No, three Willpowers being able to 'feel' my Willpower. One is near to us, but it's willpower is weak, but more refined than anything I have ever seen, until now. comparing this Willpower to someone like Zoro, who has third highest refinement of Will in our crew (except for me and Luffy) right now ( i checked ), the person with the most amount of willpower between the two is Zoro, but in terms of refinement, the little one is-

Wait, little one who can interact with my Haki? That's Aisa. what is she doing here-

i sense the second willpower, and there is one thing that it makes me feel-

Power. The person is so powerful that he is able to directly 'look' at me by interacting with my Haki.

'Oh, So You Have Observation Haki huh? Interesting-' the 'person' who was interacting with my Haki, somehow was able to speak to me through it, which should be impossible since Haki is just willpower which can be manipulated, how can-

the third person who has a willpower which is interacting with mine is-

Scared? Panicked? terrified? I don't understand what these 'emotions' are. the third person turns to 'look' at me, at first extremely terrified before calming himself down and having a confused feeling. but the biggest feeling i can 'sense' from the third person is fear-

I noticed something. The Willpower that the third person has is enormous, even higher than Zoro, reaching Luffy's Willpower. This person has a feel to it, an electric feeling-

'is that Enel?' Why is Enel terrified so much? it doesn't make sense. The feeling of using Observation Haki is all over the place. it is impossible to have conversations using Haki, it is impossible to find electric feeling using Haki, what kind of Haki-

I Notice Enel Spreading his Haki's 'range' all over the place, but the focal point is a single person. the 'second' person who somehow talked to him. The moment Enel's Haki Contacted him, Enel's Will starts behaviouring erratically, and the same feeling of fear encompasses Him. with ME having My 'Range' on Him, this fear somehow transfers to me, affecting-

My Gamer's Mind protects me from being feared. I Notice that Enel is moving further away from his initial spot where I sensed him for the first time, and he seems to be going....up?

'Arc Maxim!' I realized this a little bit too late. since Enel is already reaching near the 'will' of a huge tree, Giant Jack. He is escaping this place. scared for his life due to the pressure he feels from the 'second' person, similarly to the pressure i feel, but am negating due to the Gamer's Mind.

I create an I.D. and go inside, deactivating my observation Haki to try to think of a possible explanation.

Enel is running in fear from the 'second' person, something that he never did in Canon as the 'second' person didn't exist. if he did, Enel would have run away in Canon too, meaning that something has changed. mostly because of me, the butterfly effect is gaining speed.

what- No, Who is the 'second' person? i try to think. Kaidou, I Don't think so. While he might have jumped from Sky Island in canon, that was later in the series, and he doesn't have much reason to be on the Paradise side of Sky Island. Doflamingo, Hell Nah. i made sure we didn't mess with Belamy and his crew, so there is no need for him to be present in Jaya-

...Shit.

I realize who it is, the 'second' person. the way he acknowledged me, in interest, and the only possible person to be here, logically.

'we have Zephyr in our hands' why the hell did he have to come to Sky Island with us? and why the hell did he even find us?-

....Fucking Enel and his fetish to use His observation Haki to spy on conversations. I can guess what happened. it seems that Zephyr got blown away by the Knock up and somehow arrived at Skypiea, and during the regular checkup of Enel let Zephyr catch on to someone on the island, and he might have come here to check it out, coincidently with us-

ain't no way this is all coincidence. this is planned-this is all Planned.

MR - NOTHING-, YOU SON OF A BITCH-

"The Plot Thickens- i mean-"
