Sacred Ground:

"THERE'S ACTUALLY A GOD?" Luffy exclaimed up in Conis and Pagaya's house located up above Angel Beach on a place called 'Godland Skypeia'. "And He lives up here on an island that no one's allowed to walk on?"
"Right," Conis confirmed.
"You mean the God?" Chopper asked, "The same one from all the old stories? And He actually lives on the island next door to you?"
"He does," Conis answered, "I'm sure that everyone noticed the sign that said 'Godland Skypeia'. That means that this land is ruled by the almighty God Eneru."
"God's name is 'Eneru'?" Sanji questioned.
"He knows and sees everything," Conis explained, "He's truly omniscient."
"Everything?" Usopp repeated.
Conis nodded, "He keeps his all-seeing eyes focused on everyone. Always."
Usopp shot out of his seat, "FOR REAL?" he yelped.
"Like right now?" Luffy inquired.
"Oh yes," Conis replied.
"AAH!" Chopper squeaked, "I hate it when people stare at me when I can't see them!"
"Huh, God huh?" Zoro remarked casually.
"You mean you don't believe in God?" Chopper pressed the swordsman, "But why not?"
"Well for me, it's not a matter of belief," Zoro told him, "I don't see proof of it one way or the other. And to be honest, I don't really care to. But if you want to, go ahead. It's not up to me to deny anyone their little beliefs."
"So Conis," Sanji said, "if this guy Eneru lives in the Upper Yard and it's so close then you must have set eyes on him before."
"Absolutely not!" Conis protested with a firm wave of her hands, "It's forbidden to go there! The Upper Yard is sacred ground and a place only for our God to rest. I'm sorry."

"I still can't get over the size of these trees," Nami commented as she and Y/N stood on the Waver off the shore of the forbidden Upper Yard and gazed upon the enormous trees that were growing there as well as the dirt they were growing out of. "They've gotta be over a hundred years old! That, or things grow bigger up here in the sky. I can't even see where they top out!"
"They do make you feel kind of insignificant," Y/N admitted. The two of them and the Waver were just a mere speck compared to the gigantic trees they were faced with. "But I still can't get over the fact that there's actually some earth up here in—" Y/N quickly jerked his head to the side before he let out a loud sneeze, "ACHOOO!"
"What's the matter?" Nami asked as she glanced back at him. But then her eyes flew wide opened when she remembered what it meant the last time Y/N sneezed. "You sense treasure?"
Y/N nodded as he clutched his hand over his nose. "There's a huge amount of it a lot further inland. And for some reason it feels like its high above ground... maybe even higher than those monster trees."
KA-CHING! Telltale Berri signs appeared in Nami's eyes. "Wanna go find it?"

"I see..." Luffy said back in Conis' house, there was a huge grin on his face. "A place we're not allowed to go to no matter what, huh?"
Luffy's eyes were practically sparkling causing Usopp to panic. "GAAAH!" Usopp shrieked as he grabbed Luffy by the collar and started shaking him, "I've seen that look in your eyes before Luffy! And it always gets us into trouble! When the lady says we can't go there because its sacred or whatever... THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE MEANS! WE CAN'T GO THERE! I'M NOT LETTING YOU DRAG ME DOWN WITH YOU THIS TIME!"
