The group had continued their efforts, walking through the forest along side the cloud river. Lian was at the head of the group, jumping up to a root before down. Jian followed slowly behind her as she was looking around like an excited child.
"Thanks." Robin was behind them and helped Nami up onto the root she climbed onto. Then there was Zoro that was pulling up the rear of their group, looking around while on guard.
"Hmm?" The sister had stopped and glanced ahead of them.
"What is it?" Causing her brother to come up behind her, seeing her looking off somewhere.
"There was a child." She simply stated while watching the back of a child running off before the others were able to spot her.
"Here?" Jian seemed confused as he looked in the direction his sister was looking in, only to see nothing.
"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Nami called out to the twins, asking as they were too far for her to hear.
"Nothing!" But instead of answering honestly, Lian shouted that. And her brother didn't seem to care as he glanced over to the other side of the river.
"Isn't it time we go to the other side?" He came to ask, changing the topic of discovered.
"No! What if we get attacked by another shark!?" However, the navigator was still against it.
"Jeez, what is wrong with you?" Which seemed to have caused Zoro to grow annoy.

With no other choice, the group had continued on the same shore as they went deeper into the forest. However, Jian glanced over to his sister, whose face had inflated. "Great, she's losing patience." He knew that expression all too well. But in that moment a sharp whistle had eachoed.
"Her, did you hear something just now?" Nami came to ask the others to see wither or not she was just hearing things.
"Yeah. Don't move." She got confused as she glanced over to Zoro and saw that he had a serious expression on his face. It wasn't just him either, but the others as well, even Lian, who was still smiling but it didn't reach her eyes. In that moment, from the cloud stream above, something had come heading right for Nami, its jaws ready to eat her.
"WOULD YOU THINGS KNOCK IT OFF!" Until arms had sprouted and gripped together to close it and Zoro punched it in the jaw. It was sent flying off.
"It's your unlucky day, huh?" Robin stated this to Nami, since she was the once being attacked the most.
"Gotta stay alert." The swordsman told her.
"Thanks..." While the orange hair girl still remained in a state of shock. However, just when they thought things would calm down, something snapped.
"Ahhh!!! You guys are so slow!" They looked over to see Lián waving her arms around in frustration as she was shouting. "I'm going on ahead!"
"Wait, what do you mean—" Nami was about to ask her a question but before she could finish a large gust blow causing them to block their faces. When they looked back to Lián stood, she was no longer there. "Where did she go?"
"That way." Despite the fact that his sister had disappeared, Jián wasn't even the slightest bit worried.
"What was that just now?" The swordsman asked in slight confusion.
"She ate a Devil Fruit?" Robin on the other hand turned to Jian, as this had been her answer.
"Yes." He answered but didn't explained anything else.
"Aren't you worried?" She came to asked this, since he didn't try to stop her.
"Why?" There was noting for him to worry about, for he knew his sister better then anyone in the entire world. Knowing full well what she was capable. "We should just continue." While saying that, he began walking once again.
"Won't she had a hard time finding us?" But Nami asked this, since this forest was huge and looked the same.
"No, she won't." instead of elaborating what he said, he continued without saying anything more. Causing the others to look at once another a bit confused before falling him.

As this amazing adventure was unfolding, the girl was sprinting through the forest, with the wind pushing her forward and causing her to go even faster. Lián was leaping from tree to tree, effortlessly navigating the twisted roots that sprawled across the forest floor. She bounded over a few rivers, her heart racing with excitement, and occasionally stomping on the menacing Sky Sharks that lunged at her. These creatures, clearly known for their ferocity, seemed to pose no threat to her; she moved with such high speed that even their swiftest attacks were futile. A broad smile adorned her face, radiating pure joy as if she were on the most thrilling ride of her life.

It wasn't long before Lián leaped down from her elevated perch and began rolling delightfully across the thick carpet of leaves on the ground. Her laughter echoed through the trees as she finally came to a stop, sprawled out and relaxed. "That was fun." She exclaimed, laying on the earth, allowing herself a moment to bask in the afterglow of her adventure. Just as she was about to drift off into a peaceful nap, she suddenly became aware of a sound that was rather unusual for the forest—a rhythmic crashing noise reminiscent of waves hitting the rugged cliffside.

Intrigued, Lián pulled herself up, brushing off the leaves and dirt that clung to her clothes, and began running again, her curiosity piqued by the mysterious sound. She dashed through the underbrush, her heart pounding in her chest as she navigated the familiar yet ever-changing landscape. Finally, she spotted a fallen tree that arched over a small ravine, and with a burst of energy, she jumped onto it, using it as a bridge to reach her destination.

When she arrived, her eyes widened in sheer astonishment. "No way..." She gasped, her breath hitching in her throat. In front of her lay a breathtaking sight that was both familiar and yet astonishingly different from what she remembered.
