Guardian of the Destined (As You Wish)

Twenty-Two: An Army? Please. I've got the Future Pirate KING!

"So...she blackmailed all of you?" Nami stared incredulously at the Shandian warriors.

"Ya. Pretty much it." Wiper scowled.

There was a silence between the two groups until--

"IM SO PROUD!" Nami exclaimed, tears in her eyes and hugging Usopp. Speaking of our little Pinnochio, he was trying desperately to pry himself away from the Navigator's vice grip.

"Nami---!" he gasped. "I can't breathe!!"

"Ah....sorry Usopp."

Wiper sighed. That brat with the cheeky grin never gave him any choice...

"So~? What'cha think? Enel's planning to destroy Skypiea anyways. So do ya want your precious half-island to go down with it, or will you join our pirate crew? Temporarily of course, unless you wanna make it official and join permanently."

"Like hell I'd wanna stay! Fine. I'll help you and those other brats. But this better work."

"Do you have any other ideas?"

"We could just--"

"--recklessly attack? Enel can dispatch this entire army if he so wishes. This is his game. But let me ask you something. Have you ever met anyone...lightning-proof...?"

Sylvie sang cheerfully to herself as she sat on her own little cloud.

"Umbrella at your side, it's raining, but you close it tight...~"

Snapping to the beat she headed to the top of Giant Jack, the beastalk in the center of the island.

"-'And-how-are-you?' purred a cat just passin' through.~"

She noticed movement in the distance and smiled. She slowed her pace a bit, still humming to herself.

"Those heels that you like are soaking,- but is that alright?"

She smiled and waved to the former god, humming the beat.

"Gan-Fall-sensei." She greeted.

"Sylviana-chan."

"Have you ever heard of the Golden Bell?"

"Of course, everyone here in skypiea has." the knight said.

"I'm going to go get it. from what i understand, it's most likely that this island was shot up here by the knock-up stream. So the bell must have catapulted upwards. I bet its on top of Giant Jack."

"....Perhaps...but that thing must be massive."

"Of course it is! But if the knock-up stream could blast and entire half-island, it could knock-out a bell of that size."

The three (including the pegasus) headed to the top of Giant Jack.

"Sylviana-chan, how is your brother?"

------------------------------------------------------------

"And she told you to start heading towards the giant beanstalk?" Nami recieved a grunt in response. "Well, according to this, we should start now and we'll be there around midday."

(A/N: Here, you will really begin to tell that im rushing because I have completely lost inspiration for Skypiea. The rest will play through much like the canon ending I guess, because, unlike the character i created, I am not a tactician, much to my dismay.)
