Law enforcement...

"It looks like this place is real."

"This is the Sky Island," looking around on the infrastructures which are on the clouds and the trees and forestry that which moves at different points. A look of amazement glowed on Laffitte smiling face.

Clouds were all around, stratus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, this place has them all, any type of cloud one could mention, and just by looking around you would be able to spot them. Whether it were in groups they pass along or a single entity by itself, they all moved about in a slow motion.

Even though must of the area was covered in white basically it did not loose its attractiveness because of this, as the clouds came in spiral form, weird creature structure or just even a white mass like galaxy manifestation. Which totally brings out the beauty and eye catchiness of this heavenly place.

Then a hammer head creature jumped out from the ocean mass filled with clouds into the air. Its short spiky mouth released loads of white foam as it drives its light tan tone skin complexion self, over to the appeared black ship which did not correspond with the whole beauty of Sky Island.

'Why is there a creature appearing from the bass of clouds," Guzen whose eyes glimpse on the floating creature asked in a somewhat perplexed tone.

"Just like the where we reside has water for its ocean, the sky island has clouds for its seawater," Joshua answered as he also carried his gaze over to the flying creature.

"It no wonder the ship was able to float on the myriads of clouds below," Laffitte rubbed his chin as he added his comment.

Skypiea may be ten thousands feet above the blue sea level and what it entales may be different, it still doesn't mean you are not going to find some things which are the same. But the way they are presented is just in a contrasting format than how you know of it. With the creature near to hit the ship, Guzen flickered right in the air, some distance away from the ship. However when he tried to maintain his balance in the air, he couldn't which then leads him to loosing his footing.

"This,"

Guzen who was lost balance for a second there, eye flashed with a bit of stupor. One should that Guzen has already been every familiar with moon step for a while and with him being training himself constantly over the two year period. His moon step has developed more, so for him to loose his standing like this, something must be wrong. Although some slight mishap transpired, the sea creature which was coming at him was already diced in pieces.

"What just happened?" Guzen who has came from the air frowned. Such a amateur mistake like that, can never happen to his who has grasped a not bad level of the moon step skill.

"With us being 10000m in the sky, the air around is very thin, after a while of getting use to the new environment, that which has just happened to you shouldn't occur again after a time period," Laffitte said when he saw Guzen's abnormality.

"Thats it,"Guzen replied in a understanding tone.

"Lets first adapt to environemnt first then head onto the the island," Joshua who has saw this said unhurriedly. They are 10000m above Blue sea level, its obviouos that the air is going to be way thinner than were they original at. Therefore, with them being in an environment like this, they are going to need to adapt to such instant change of the surrounding.

Then after 2 hours of adapting to the environment, everyone was familar with the new surroundings they were in. Then Laffitte sailed the ship to the Angel island which is not too far from them. The dark ship which has become the focal point in the whole ocean of clouds, went on onwards to where it had set course to .

Then after fifteen minutes of sailing the ship landed ashore on the straighten out clouds near the island.

"It looks like clouds themselves are really soft," Guzen who has appeared from off the deck stepped on the low fluffy clouds which were right at the island.

"They really are," Laffitte who was walking lavishly down the clouds said as he looked on the white entities down below.

"Lets go, we are ongoing over to that place," Joshua who had his entire mouth region hidden under the high neck area of the cloak said as he stepped off the clouds onto the island.

Then both Guzen and Laffitte looked to the direction Joshua pointed and their that saw a huge island which was surrounded by many thicken clouds. The vast and broaden if it, extend far and wide into the horizon, displaying its holiness and sacredness. There were many trees which spreads out interlocking with the clouds which surrounds it.

That place is the Upper yard, it also where Luffy and his crew invaded to fight Enel who is the god of skypiea and his followers.

"Just by the striking appearance this place must be special," Laffitte smiled gently as he looks on the huge piece of island.

"Captain is there something over there, that you want," Guzen eyes flickered as he asked.

"Maybe," Joshua did not wholeheartedly stated his answer but just gave that bland remark.

For Joshua's response noone asked for a clear answer, even so, when they were about to step off, they sensed a group of individual coming towards them.

Marching down the vibrant green lushes of grass, they were a group of persons who were troding in unsion as they move onward. They wore light purple shirt and the pants they hand on was in blue and for the design there were some white clouds on it.

"Blue sea peeple from Vearth," The one who was at the forefront of the group wearing a light blue cape said. He was very tall and on his head was white naval looking hat. This is Mckinley, the Chief of the White berets and also the one who acts as skypiea's lowest law enforcement.

Seeing the wingless back and the weird style of dress, the Mckinley talked with utter confirmation. Because its not the first time they have come in contact with persons from the ground below.

"You are the group of persons who broke into the island without paying your extol fee," Mckinley coldy said as he looked on the three in black.

"Sky people," looking in the wings on the back of the marching band, Laffitte confirmed the race of the group of individuals.

"Extol fee, what extol fee are you talking about?" Guzen eyes narrowed as he looked on the tall built figure.

"We have just received a feedback from our sources, that they're a group of persons who broke right into Angel island directly without entering the heavens gate. At that place was where you should have paid a fee, how you appear here we don't know."

"But since you have already broke into the sky island, you are know labelled as criminals and now you all must 10 times the fee, which is now 30 billions extols," Mckinley added.

Joshua who was in the centre of the two did not say anything from the beginning. These scene was bascially like when Luffy and his crew entered the island and they were stopped by Mckinley just as they are now stopped by him. But thats not the case, where they enter they cannot control it, with them being bascially near Angel Island. Why would they go down to Heavens gate to pay some fee, thats blantant stupidness.

Hearing the amount, both Guzen and Laffitte eyes dimmed, they don't even have that kind of money. But he is just chatting all this nonsense and not explaining what does extols means.

" This may be the skypieans type of currency," Laffitte eyes flashed.

"It does not matter," Guzen said to Laffite.

"What happens if we don't pay that kind of money," Guzen smiled as his eyes glowed with a blood red colour.

"Then we have to apprehend you by using force," Mckinley coldly said. Then the fifty soldiers which were behind of him held up their hands and aimed the arrow at the three individuals.

"I see,"

Observing the the sky people response, Guzen nodded as he folded his hands and rubbed the side of his face.

Looking on the quiet and motionless Blue sea people, Mckinley raised his hand then all the sky arrows went down. He turn around, swept his eyes across his men then said,

"You three go and arr-," before Mckinley could finish telling his orders. A shrap thin line appeared diagonally across his face. Then right from his right eye down to cheek of the left side of his face, Mckinley head slid right off. The lower part of is head sprayed out blood catching the faces, clothes and hands of the soldiers behind him.

His body's knee then bent, then his whole figure dropped dead on the ground.

Everyone froze a second, they tremblingly moved their hands to where the blood fell on them, then looked on where Mckinley stood and where he lay now.

"Chief!"

The lot called out in horror as they looked on the half a head of Mckinley which was draining blood. What is going on, wasn't the chief just alive, how his he dead now.

Then one after the other, they looked on the persons who were in black, standing a distance away from them with fearful. No matter how it looked it must be their doing that the chief just suddenly died.

"Pay what."

"Who do you think you are," a voice came out which was extremely close to the soldiers.

Hearing such a near voice to them, every soul looked instinctively. When they carried their gazes down on the ground instantly and there they saw Guzen who was in a weird pattern shirt slapping the face of the of the half slit head Mckinley with a knife. This made the expression of all the soldiers changed dramtically.

How did he appear here, wasn't not he just over there standing.

Torrents of oceans waves drummed through their souls while their heart rate accelerated at blinding speed.

"Sh..shoot..shoot him," a soldier staggered back has he said with a trembling voice. Then they all immediately held up their sky arrows to do so but when they did that, many lines emerged at different points of their bodies.

Slice..

Either diced in half, chopped to pieces or slashed off head, so they were cut open, blood spewed out all the way out to the white cloud sea near the island. Tainted it with its thick substances, then about thirty of the soldiers dropped dead in sliced section.

" Monster!"

"Run away!"

The rest of soldiers were were completey frightened when they saw their former alive companions, now making a pool with their blood. They didn't even see how they died which is what really scared them, for them who are just some low level guards, their mental state broke down instantly.

"Where do you think your going," Guzen who was still looking on the dead Mutinley said with a low distorted voice. His eyes glimmed with a ray of red light as he held up his head and looked on the running soldiers.

He disappeared and came right where a soldier was running weakly. He drive the blade across his back then sliced him in two. Seeing this the soldiers were even more afraid they hurriedly tried to speed up but its in vain.

"Ahh.."

"No dont kill me,"

Blood filled the sky, trees and clouds all around, as many soliders lives were harvested at horror speed.

Joshua stood their with a bland expression.

Laffitte stood their with a smiling face.

They both saw everything but they had no intention to stopping Guzen. They were already criminals before Mctinley even labelled them as one, So as criminals or pirates of the Blue sea, why would they follow the lawful path. Pirates are blood dripping persons who kill and do whatever they wish on a daily. So when he asked for fee from them, their faiths have already been sealed.

"Laffitte lets go..."

"Yes captain.."

Then Joshua and Laffitte flew into they air to the direction of the Upper yard, simply not waiting on Guzen. But having said that, Guzen will catch up to them after he's done playing around. With them flying, it didn't take long for them to reach the Upper yard and when they did reach they went straight up the giant bean stalk.

....

Somewhere on the highest layer of clouds, around the giant bean stalk. There was a shadowy figure laying lazily on the coach, repeatedly eating some fruits which looked like grapes.

The dark figure opened his eyes slowly and the second after that, a wide grin appeared on the dark form's face, making his white teeth show.

"Interesting.."
