Chains That Bind Us |One Piece

Sky Island 19

With Nami and that on the ship, they needed to get ready in order to set sail, which had been why Robin had began pulling up the rope ladder until she noticed someone approaching. "Excuse me, I have something to tell you." That person had been Conis, who looked very serious, which seemed to have confused Nami and Chopper that moved to the railing to see her. The rope ladder had been dropped once again and Conis then climbed aboard, Zoro still snoring away without a care in the world. It was then when she had explained to the other five about there being a current that would take them to the sea below.
"There's a special cloud current to take us to the White Sea?" Nami questioned as she wanted to make sure that she got that correct.
"Yes, by riding it, you can quickly cross this expanse of sea to the White Sea." This had been explained in more detail. "The you should be able to reach Cloud End without any problem."
"Really?" This had caused the navigator to get all excited.
"If you manage to get into that current, it is unlikely anyone will be able to follow you." Hearing this caused her to be even more pleased with this.
"We just have to keep it a secret from Luffy and get the Going Merry onto that current!" Her eyes were sparkling with joy.
"By the time he realises it, it'll be too late, huh?" And Chopper seemed to understand the plan.
"Although whether he gives up or not afterwards is a different story." This had been stated by Robin, given Luffy's personality it was possible.
"But I was looking forward to going." Andrea appeared to be upset, as she began pouting.
"Stop pouting like a baby." Which had Andrew telling her that.
"I can guide you to the entry point using our Waver." Conis had continued to speak as she offered them this.
"Well, we just need to pull it off without that idiot catching on. I can do that pretty well." It clearly wasnt the first time she would do it and definitely not the last.
"Well then, please raise your anchor and wait here."
"Okay! We're indebted to you, Conis!"
"Oh, it's nothin...." The young woman had smiled, however, there was something off about it, not that some noticed this fact.
"See you, Conis!" Nami shouted as they were waving to Conis that had began leaving. "We can finally see a ray of hope!" The navigator was grinning ear to ear now that she didn't have to worry about losing her life. "With all that's happened, I was wondering what we were gonna do!"
"But, does that current really exist?" That was until this question had been asked by Robin, who didn't seem convinced.
"Huh?" Which confused Nami as she didn't understand why she would ask that.
"If such a convenient current exists... it wouldn't be unusual for survivors from Sky Island to be living in the Blue Sea." This had been stated by the woman, which was quite logical.
"She's got a point." And it appeared that Andrew was in an agreement with her on this matter.
"Oh, come on. they said that they really get people who make it all the way up here in the first place." However, Nami was trying to dismiss it like that. "Of course almost none of them get away."
"And even then, most of them probably won't fast enough to get out way before someone caught them." The little reindeer had added this part to her statement.
"He's right. If you don't quit while you're ahead, you end up dead." The navigator spoke this quite towards the two that were suspicious about the entire thing. "Let's hurry and get ready to sail! Weigh the anchor!" She had then took off down the stairs. "Chopper, use that Heavy Ball and do the hard work!"
"It's Heavy Point..." he had tried to correct her.
"WHAT!?"
"N-Nothing..."
"And wake up Zoro!" She continued to give out orders.
"Is that even possible?" But Andrea asked this while looking to the snoring man.
"It's okay. I can do it myself!" Chopper stated that he was fine weighing the achor on his own.
"If we don't hurry, we'll be wasting Conis' kindness." Nami stated this but at the same time.
"Well?" Andrew was speaking, leaning onto the railing, speaking quietly enough so the others couldn't hear them as they were getting happy.
"Well what?" His sister was smiling beside him, acting like she didn't know what he meant by that.
"Just say it." which caused him to sigh.
"You want to know if she's lying?" He didn't respond to her question because she already knew his response. "Yes, there is no current." She responded with complete confidence, her smile not disappearing as she watched Conis with eyes that didn't show a hint of her smile in them.
"The reason?" He moved onto asking this, which most people wouldn't understand.
"Fear." But being his twin she knew exactly what he was asking, and that had been the reason why Conis was lying to them.
"Fear, huh?" Andrew glanced over to the young blonde woman that was walking away. "What do you think?" He moved onto asking.
"Hmm... I don't know but it's going interesting." Andrea was smirking with excitement as she looked at Andrew, he could see that she knew, which caused him to shake his head while sighing. However, despite that he wasn't going to tell the other's anything. Which in that moment the Going Merry began rocking wildly and large claws emerged from the clouds.
