Chapter 57- The return of the emperor

On the island of Jaya, a certain drunken man looked up at the sky. "Hehehe, I must be seeing things," The man said as he rubbed his eyes and looked again. "T-There's no way I'm seeing correct" The man fumbled over his words after still seeing the frightening sight before him. "I-I need to warn e-everyone," the drunk pirate said as he ran to the nearby bar.

"Everyone! A giant ship is coming down from the sky, and it's being carried by a giant octopus!" The drunk pirate shouted. Silence. The bar that was as loud as a party just moments earlier, was now quiet as a graveyard. "Did you drink too much again? What's this bullshit you're saying! And why is everyone so quiet?!" A blond pirate shouted as he stood up. "I-I'm not lying, g-go outside and s-see for yourself, Bellamy." The scared pirate said.

"Fine, let's go, Sarquiss." Bellamy ordered a man with shoulder-length blue hair and a gray fur coat. "Hehehe, yes captain", Sarquiss answered as he stood up and cackled with his tongue out. The two went outside the bat, and then they stood in place like statues as they saw a ship with a goat head being carried down as the drunken pirate said. "Well, damn, didn't expect it to be real. What now, captain?" Sarquiss asked Bellamy. "They must have come from somewhere special, meaning they have some special loot. Let's go say hi," Bellamy's eyes shone with greed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So this is Jaya." Robin looked down on the island that they were slowly floating down towards. "Yeah, but there's nothing here. Only a couple of bars for pirates to get drunk it, so we'll be sailing after a day or to here" Luffy informed them. "Um, what will we do with the octopus?" Usopp asked as he looked up at their carrier. "Release it, of course, they can still live in the blue sea." Chopper stated. In the two years in Skypiea, Chopper spent most of his time reading their medical books and talking about them with Law, and Law did manage to finally push him to connect with the crew after some time.

"Thanks, Chopper." Usopp thanked the small doctor. "No problem," he responded. "Is it just me, or does it look like there's some weird gathering at the docks?" Zoro asked as he looked at an abnormally large amount of people gathering beneath them. "We are coming from the sky, why would they not be surprised?" Nami asked as she gave Zoro a weird look. "Well, yes, but I'm getting a hostile feeling from them."

As the Straw Hats land in the docs, Bellamy came forward from the group of gathered pirates. "Would you look at what we have here? Where did you come from?" Bellamy asked in a mocking tone. "Skypiea," Sanji said in an impatient tone, already knowing where this is going. "Ha! What are you clowns talking about, Skypiea doesn't exist. Now answer nicely before I get mad." Bellamy didn't believe them. "If you don't believe us, that's your problem, but can you move aside? I want to buy cigarettes." Sanji said as he got even more annoyed. Skypiea was a very good place, but the Skypieans didn't know what cigarettes were, much less have the ingredients to make one. Sanji did have a LOT of back up packs, but eventually they ran out, so he prayed for the day that they will return to the Blue Sea for his cigarettes. So now, he wasn't about to take shit from some pathetic, overconfident, pirate instead of marching to the nearest store.

"So you don't want to talk, huh? Alright, we can do this the hard way, surrender your loot, and we'll let you live" Bellamy told them with a devilish grin as his crew pulled out their weapons behind him. "Yohoho! It appears we were forgotten!" Brook exclaimed. "Oh, you were famous? Then you must be a good catch. I think the time for talk is over. Kill them and take their loot!" Bellamy ordered his men as he changed his legs into springs and sprung forward.

Unfortunately for Bellamy, his ambitious charge was stopped in its tracks when he got hit by Law's sword, making his head disconnect from his body. "What the hell is this!" Bellamy panicked, "Sarquiss, why aren't you attacking?!" He inquired. "You mean them?" Law picked up Bellamy's head and showed him the sight of his crew collapsed on the ground with their necks broken. "W-who are you?" Bellamy now realized he challenged the wrong opponents, and so he asked them their identity. "Take a look at our flag," Law said as he showed Bellamy's severed head their flag.

"..." Bellamy sank into despair as he saw the flag. They have been gone for years, so their faces were only remembered when one looked at their posters. But even after two years, their flag was not forgotten. One look and Bellamy realized just how massively he fucked up. That was Bellamy's last thought, as law sliced his disconnected head in two, ending the small journey of the Bellamy pirates.

However, such a massacre caught the attention of a nearby reporter. Who, upon recognizing the flag, immediately used his Den Den Mushi to contact his boss. One of the emperors of the Underworld, and head of the World Economy News Paper, Big News Morgan. "What is it?" Morgan answered the call. "Boss, I have news, the Straw Hats just returned. Some pirate group tried to loot them, and now they're extinct" The reporter reported.

"What?! Are you sure?!" Morgan jumped from his chair. "Yes, boss. I saw their flag and faces clear as day, and I also took photos." The reporter confirmed. "Hahaha! This is going to be great!" Morgan laughed.
