Chains That Bind Us |One Piece

Sky Island 2

Along with dragging Usopp back to the surface of the White Sea, something appeared to have been following after. "Something else came up!" A tentacle shot out from below surface before the entire body followed. It was either a giant octopus or squid that was 100 times bigger then the Going Merry.
"They want to eat Usopp!" Another large creature joined as well. It was purple and more fish like.
"NO!!" Nami and Chopper were terrified as they were screaming.
"You don't have to be that scared of this!" While Zoro had taken action by running and leaping up towards the closest tentacle and tried to slice through it. However, he was shock to find out that it exploded like a balloon. Then the purple fish began heading for the ship and Sanji leaped above it before slamming his foot down on it's head. The creature began falling back into the side of the Merry. .
"Man... this place... sure takes the breath out of you..." this had been said as Zoro was somehow already out of breath.
"Now, this is a weird-lookin' animal." Sanji was saying with his foot on the create he defeated, also having a hard time breathing. "I can't even tell if it's a fish."
"That octopus was almost like a ballon." Luffy pointed this out through his heavy breathing.
"But they were still animals. They were moving." Zoro pointed this out, as they clearly weren't balloons.
"Animals in the sky?" Nami questioned this for a moment.
"So we really should think of this more as an ocean than a cloud." Robin suggested to the others, as it might be no different then the ocean below.
"That's true, we don't want a repeat of before." Andrew was looking to were Usopp was laying unconscious and wet.
"What is this flat snake?" Chopper was curious about it.
"It's a flatfish. 'Cause it's flat." It appeared that Luffy was going with that.
"So this is a flatfish?" And the reindeer was the same. However, all of a sudden Usopp's screaming caused everyone to look at him as he was also acting weird.
"For the love of... What is it now, Usopp?" At this point, the cook was sick and tied of the young man.
"My overalls... There's something in them!" He came to answer pulling something out only to faint at the sight of the small flare fish.
"Usopp!" The doctor ran over to the in a panic.
"Sky Island scary... Sky Island scary... Sky Island scary... Sky Island scary... Sky Island scary..." that was being repeated over again.
"Today sure isn't his day." Andrea stated looking at the pitiful long nose but soon saw the fish flopping around. "Isn't this thing cute!" She grabbed onto it say with excitement.
"This is cute?" However, it appeared that Andrew didn't see it.
"Would you say this is a Skyfish?" Robin had asked as she joined the twins to look at the fish. "That strange fish Norland mentioned in his Logbook. Since this sky sea had no bottom, they must have evolved various adaptations to survive."
"Like becoming balloons or flattering out their bodies?" Zoro had been the one to ask, which would explain what just happened with the creatures before.
"To reduce their density. This sea's buoyancy is significantly lower than that of the sea below us." As this was being explained, Luffy ended up taking the fish from Andrea and running off with it in excitement.
"Its scales look like feathers. And it's unusual for it be a carnivore."
"I sautéed it." Suddenly Sanji spoke after handing off a plate.
"This is great!" While Luffy was eating away at it.
"My fish!" Andrea appeared to be heartbroken at the fish being eaten.
"WE'RE NOT DONE LOOKING AT IT YET!" Nami ended up losing it at the pair. "What do you guys think you're doing!?" She was still shouting at them until the fork had been shoved into her mouth. "Oh, you're right. It's delicious! What is it?" Not she had fallen in love with the taste.
"I'm glad you like it, Nami-san!" Sanji delighted by this.
"Let's eat that bog one too!" While Luffy was excited for more food.
"That's one's too cranny to be worth the trouble."
"I was going to keep it as a pet." On the other hand, it appeared that Andrea was extremely upset while saying that.
"It's lucky to have died now then." Which had been followed up by Andrew stating that. Needless to say that she glared at him.
"Where's Sky Island?" Chopper was looking around with a pair of binoculars as he was sitting on the left over wing broken off from the pressure. "Oh, a ship. A ship- Oi, guys! A ship! And a person?"
"Everything okay, Chocho-chan?" Andrea came to ask him after his shouting. However, he had suddenly fallen onto the deck.
"Chopper, you see a ship?" Sanji followed up with that ask, since that was what he shouted before.
"NO! I mean, there was-But the ship's gone now!" He was answering, however, it didn't make much sense.
"What?"
"There;s a bull charging right at us on a square cloud!
"I don't understand! Calm down!" But he was making even less sense. That was then when Andrea moved to the side and looked out where Chopper had, noticing something moving towards them.
"Cool, Chocho-chan was right! A bull charging on the clouds right for us!" She was able to see a masked man with a grass skirt while carrying a shield heading right for the Merry. "Oh look, he even has a bazooka!" She was saying as if that wasn't lift threatening and appeared excited.
"The hell...?" Sanji had said before following suit and saw what it was that both had been talking about. "A person! Someone's coming! He's riding on top of the clouds!" Everyone was soon able to see the man heading right for them. "Oi, hold it! What do you want?" This had been shouted as the masked man had leaped off the clouds, heading for them Merry.
"I shall reject you!" A deep voice shouted in response.
"He wants a fight!" Sanji had taken a step back, as he was preparing for battle.
"Fine by me!" While Zoro had grabbed one of his katanas.
What? What?" While Luffy seemed a bit confused. However, despite their readiness and crazy strength, Sanji had been sent flying over the bow's inner railing and slammed into the walls of the storage room with a single hit. The bull mask man had then slammed his foot into Zoro's jaw after he tried to attack and then moved onto Luffy after somersaulting multiple times in the above.
"H-Hey! What's wrong with you three!?" Seeing this had completely confused Nami, as this has never happened before. All three of them going down without a single punch. The mask man on the other hand had yet to finish as he was now above the ship, his bazooka in hand and pointing down at the Going Merry.
"Oh, his pointing the bazooka at us!" Andrea was pointing at the man, however, despite her words, the tone use wasn't the slightest bit panicked.
"It looks like his going to fire it." The same could be said for Andrew, right at her side, as he didn't seem the slightest bit fazed by it.
"HE'S GONNA SHOOT US!" Chopper on the other hand was screaming and crying.
"Sky Island scary... Sky Island scary!" While Usopp still hadn't recovered from before.
"That's enough!" A large silhouette was emerging from the sky above and attacked the man. Though the attack didn't do anything due to shield blocking it, however, it did push them back down from the air into the clouds.
"What!? Who is it now!?" Nami was in tears as she was freaking out as an old man of average height wearing a metal armor with a dark red shirt, and brown pants stood before them. He also had the knight's visor pulled up. He wore a long dark blue cloak that is yellow on the inside and at the back.
"I am the Knight of the Sky." This introduction had been given as a large pink bird with a red polka dot pattern on it's body peaked out from behind. It had solid red on the sides of his head, the back of it's head, and on his horn-like ears. It also had bandages wrapped around it's torso for some reason. It had a tab face, with a yellow beak. A very odd pair that stood in front of the confused crew.
