The Jackal Guardian's Ascent

Chapter 17

The group continued to watch on as Eneru continued to rain death and destruction on all of Skypiea. After a few minutes of repeated lightning strikes on random places of the island, the storming stopped. The thunderclouds started coming together and had formed a gigantic black ball of destruction.

"It's...right over Angel Island!!" Gan Fall said, helplessly watching as the gigantic sphere descended to the ground below.

"IT'S A NIGHTMARE!! I'M TELLING YOU GUYS, THIS IS THE END!!" Usopp screamed at the sight.

"What's he planning..." Gan Fall said to himself, unsure of what Eneru had in store.

The ball descended upon Angel Island, engulfing it in it's entirety, and detonated. The resulting flash was blinding and visible from all parts of the country. Anyone that witnessed it was left with a sight of pure destruction as the place that was Angel Island was no longer. The sphere of thunder and lightning wiping it from existence. Leaving nothing but a giant, gaping hole where Angel Island once was.

"He...completely erased Angel Island!!" Gan Fall said, still trying to comprehend what Eneru had just done. "How can this be?! How coud he?! This is too villainous!! Eneru how could you!!"

"What's taking Luffy and Nami so long to come down from there?!" Usopp asked aloud.

"I think Luffy's wanting to ring the bell before he comes down." Anu answered, remembering a conversation him, Robin, Zoro, Chopper, and Luffy had when they were intially looking for Shandora, before they encountered the giant snake.

Begin Flashback

"Hey, there's supposed to be a huge bell in El Dorado, right?" Luffy asked.

"According to Noland's journal, yes." Robin answered. "He did write that there was one."

"What about it?" Zoro asked.

"What's up?" Chopper asked.

"Heheheh, I just thought of something great!" he answered. "If we rang that bell up here in the sky, do you think the diamond-head guy and the monkeys down below could hear it?"

"I don't see why not." Anu answered. "As long as you ring it hard enough."

"Heheheh, that's what I'm gonna do then." Luffy commented as they continued their trek through the forest.

End of Flashback

"Then...He's gonna..." was all Usopp could get out, shocked at what Luffy was most likely up to.

"Most likely." Anu replied.

"He did say that. But under these circumstances, it would be quite difficult." Robin added.

"Ring the bell...?" Wyper asked.

"If he says he's going to do it, he will." Zoro told everyone. "Once he puts his mind to something, there's no stopping him. Even if Nami tries to bring him back, he won't go with her. He and Eneru are after the same thing."

"And he won't stop until he's done it." Anu added on.

The group continued to watch the situation unfold when Usopp saw something else falling from the clouds above them.

"AGH!! LOOK OUT! SOMETHING'S FALLING!!" he screamed as he pointed towards the sky.

"What?" Anu said as he looked up.

"EVERYBODY, GET DOWN!!" he screamed as he made a break for cover.

"Long Nose...it's a leaf." Robin told him as everyone watched the giant leaf descend towards them.
