After Usopp noticed the ship leaving, he alerted the others.

Luffy: Guys, why is the ship is moving backward?

Not long after the ship had gotten some distance, a massive red crustacean came out of the water and started carrying the Merry away.

Pagaya: Oh my. It's the super express lobster!

As the Merry got farther and farther away, the strawhats that were left surprised at what happened.

Luffy: I wonder where they're going?

Sanji: Why Nami... Why'd you put on a shirt?

Usopp: *smacks Sanji* That's not the point! This is awful, Rimuru! what do we do?!

Rimuru: Good question...

Luffy: Hey, old man, do you know where they went?

Pagaya flinched that the crew suddenly looked at him.

Pagaya : o-oh... you see... the Super Express lobster is a messenger from God Enel. It must've taken your friends to the sacrificial alter in the upper yard

Usopp: SAY WHAT!!?

Rimuru: SACRIFICED TO THAT GOD!!?

Sanji: *angry* That bastard better not touch a single hair on either Nami or Robin's head!

Pagaya: Hold on a moment! There is something more I should tell you. You see, this is part of heaven's judgment. Criminals are either put as sacrifices or undergo a challenge. Your friends are being treated as a sacrifice or as a hostage, but for you, four would have to go through the trial to save your friends

Sanji: What do you mean?

Pagaya: I would be easier if I had a map

Usopp: i think I have one here

Usopp reached in his bag and brought out the map from the galleon.

Pagaya: Well, this one is very old, but it should work

Pagaya began explaining to the crew how to reach the altar through the "Milky Road" and that they may have to go through challenges and face Enel's four piests.

Rimuru: I see. But what's the milky road?

Pagaya: Do you know the pathway you used to get from the white sea to the white-white sea? That and the clouds that the White Berets used are an example

Rimuru: Thanks for explaining

Luffy: This will be easy. We just need to beat up these priests, and we can save our friends

Usopp: You make it sound easy

Rimuru: we should get going. We don't want to make our friends wait now, do we?

Sanji: I'll pack us a larger lunch

Conis: ......

Conis made a troubled expression, which Rimuru noticed.
