It was an early morning start for everyone aboard the Polar Tang.
Zoro and Sanji had spent the night together in the bubble ship parked on deck for a much needed quality time, much to Niji's dismay. The helmeted blue-haired commander found them ass naked in their hiding place at first light and woke them up. He was finally able to finish Sanji's claw gauntlet fitting which took no time at all. While he was there, he saw an opportunity to improve the ship's primitive maneuvering system to ensure that the bulky vessel has the capability to take sharper, faster turns in case of any events of unexpected knock up streams.
After getting kicked out of the bubble ship by the demanding Niji, Zoro ran back to their room to dress up and finish packing for the trip. He had nothing but his underwear on him after getting his clothes torn up during his crazy night of passion with the blonde. He received a lot of stares and some light-hearted teasing from the crew during his walk of shame but he wore it with a shameless smirk. In his mind, it was all worth it. Though he makes it a point to try and patch up the garment that his friends worked so hard to make for him later.
Sanji stayed in the ship, also naked after having his clothes somehow lost in the process. He has entrusted the swordsman to fetch him his travel pack that he'd prepared the night before so he sat waiting on one of the passenger seats, snuggling himself in Niji's long cloak to keep warm. As much as he appreciates his brother's thoughtfulness by offering him his cape, and the extra effort he's putting in to improving the ship, he still holds a grudge on him for picking on his beloved Marimo, especially after last night's progression in their relationship. He glares down at the blue-haired commander who is currently in deep concentration, fine-tuning the steering wheel from the pilot seat.
Zoro returns wearing fresh new robes and holding two travel packs over his shoulders. He begins hauling them into the ship while standing outside by the door to respectfully keep his distance from the blonde's brother who is hard at work. He starts arranging bags under the side consoles to ensure that their possessions are secured and out of the way. Sanji gratefully grabs spare clothes from his own bag from where he sat.
Before dressing up, the blonde suddenly realises the perfect opportunity for revenge–in front of the very man his brother had picked on. He leans back against his seat, hugs his knees up to his chest, and strokes a lock of hair, trying to play it casual.
Sanji
So Niji, how's our chef Cosette doing?
Caught completely off guard, Niji yanks the steering wheel off its panel, tearing wires and other components that he'd meticulously been working on for the last hour. His face had suddenly gone scarlet red and blood trickled down his nose.
Sanji smirks at his brother's reaction. He leans his cheek against the palm of his hand and tilts his head innocently, watching the man practically start hyperventilating. He could have sworn he saw tiny sparks of electricity emit at the tip of his blue hair.
Zoro looks shocked and pissed at the commander for breaking Nami's old bubble ship.
Niji
I–hah–why would I…she's a servant. Loyal and… dedicated and… talented and…. How… why would you–hah–what possessed you to think that I would know–?
Niji looks down at the panel where he'd ripped out the steering wheel and then at his hand where he's gripping it. His tight hold around the handles had contorted its shape. Slowly, he realises what he'd done. He drops to his knees and starts repeatedly banging his head against it in frustration.
Sanji
So…I take it she's well then?
Niji pauses his movements to shoot him a furious glare behind his goggles, his cheeks still reddened.
Sanji hears a faint sound of their host captain from a distance talking to his crew while approaching the ship. He sounded excited for a change as they're finally lifting off to Skypiea. When Law hopped up onboard, he froze at the sight of seeing the Pirate King practically naked in his seat and the commander holding onto the broken steering wheel.
Law
What the hell is this? Why are you tearing apart my bubble ship?
I don't even know what's going on with you, Mr. Prince-ya.
Niji
I can explain–!
Zoro and Sanji
Niji broke the ship.
Law practically had smoke coming out of his ears. He rolls up his sleeves.
—
Sanji
That's not… where I thought that was going to go….
Niji
Really now?
Zoro, Sanji and Niji all had bumps on their heads from the fuming captain. They all stood in pain behind Law who is making a final speech to the Heart Pirates crew before separating from them until they return from Skypiea. He wanted to make sure that everyone is fully aware of their plan to meet back near Jaya, and told them to stay under the radar by not staying in one place too long. They're to keep a constant eye on their long distant transponder snail in case there are any emergencies.
Niji had repaired the damage he’d done and replaced the disfigured steering wheel for a makeshift one. He still managed to do the maneuver upgrade that he wanted right on schedule so Law's punishment on him wasn't as harsh.
Sanji soothes his painful bump with a hand, wondering if he should have done his act of revenge another day. At least he has clothes now and his claw gauntlet fitted properly with its blades retracted.
Zoro had no idea what exactly just happened but given how much he'd been getting punished by Law recently, he just accepted his fate.
They sail the Polar Tang until it reaches a good distance away from Jaya to avoid any unwanted attention during take off. Niji launches himself in the air to scout ahead, hoping to travel high enough to potentially find the floating island by eye and watch out for any unwelcoming shifts in weather. They're to keep tabs with him through transponder snails. Bepo reported that there may be a storm later in the day but if they reach the sky island before late afternoon, they should be safe.
Zoro, Sanji and Law follow by bubble ship shortly, waving farewell to the rest of the Heart Pirates from inside as they lift off. The blonde volunteered to pilot as he claimed to have done it before. This proved evident when he started up the engines, inflated the float bubble and launched the vessel without a fuss. Before they know it, they reach their desired altitude just under the stratosphere where they reconvened with the commander as planned.
Zoro and Law watched the two siblings, surprised at how quickly their dynamic switched as they expertly navigated the skies together. Past all their snide jabbing and teasing, Sanji and Niji operated like two veteran mercenaries who clearly had years of experience in their arsenal. Niji flew ahead and continuously sent advice through his den-den mushi, and Sanji made executive decisions based on his brother's reports and piloted the ship expertly. They managed to avoid troublesome cloud formations without a navigator, thanks to their collaborative teamwork.
Law
How do you know how to fly so well, Mr. Prince-ya?
Sanji
Err…I'm the only one who doesn't fly in the family so I tend to take a bubble ship for myself when I need to.
Niji interrupts through the transponder snail.
Niji
Correction–he chooses not to. He can, if he just wears his–
Sanji
Commander, we talked about this.
Niji
Tch.
Zoro was looking at Sanji curiously, clearly wanting to hear more about the whole subject of flying but the blonde wants to avoid the uncomfortable topic so he quickly shifts the conversation. He clears his throat.
Sanji
Marimo-kun, can you please remind us what we're on a lookout for?
Zoro
We're trying to find South Birds or one of its variants. They're native to Skypiea and a lot bigger up here. They should help us find the island.
Otherwise we should see thick solid clouds with houses or a jungle on them. It's pretty big so it's hard to miss.
Sanji
Did you get that, Commander?
Niji
Got it.
There is a painful stretch of silence as the ship floats aimlessly in the sky. This part of the troposphere should be thinning out of clouds but today seems to be an odd exception as it's more fogged up than usual. Zoro notices Sanji gradually getting worried after an hour with no news. He starts impatiently tapping his fingers on the steering wheel while his feet twitch restlessly, his hand almost reaching out for the den-den mushi several times but ultimately acts against it.
Zoro
Hey…is everything okay?
Sanji
Y–yeah…. I just… don't worry about it.
Law
If you’re that concerned, we should call him.
Sanji
Maybe…. Give him more time. He might be in the middle of something.
After several more tense minutes, they hear a long squawk from a distance behind them. Zoro, Sanji and Law turn their heads to find a large bird, more than twice the size of their bubble ship, writhing mid-air. Around its body, a familiar blue-haired man gripped around its neck, trying to force its wings closed with his legs. He carries it with difficulty towards the bubble ship, his boots kicking off pulses in different directions to try and gain some semblance of stability.
Law
What the hell–?
Sanji starts laughing out loud as the bird throws its head wildly in every which way. It relentlessly flaps its wings and kicks its sharp talons out madly, desperate to free itself from the commander's death grip.
Niji stops just in front of the ship while still wrestling with the bird.
Niji
Is this–?? OWW!!!
The commander only just manages to dodge the bird’s attempt to eat his face, but the side of his face gets whacked with its powerful beak with a loud crack.
Niji
IS THIS IT, SWORDSMAN?!?
Zoro
Err…
Zoro looks back and forth between Niji and the giant bird dumbfoundedly, still trying to take in the comical scene before them.
The blonde shuffles through his pack calmly.
Sanji
Does anyone else have a camera?
Niji
Fuck–! Answer already!! Is this a South Bird or what?!
Zoro
Yes…?
Niji
Why do you sound so unsure?!
Zoro
It's been a while, okay?! And I can't see the crest properly! Can’t you hold it still?
Niji
FUCK YOU, YOU BROCCOLI HEAD! You come out here and do it then!
Zoro
It's MARIMO!!!
Sanji
Yonji’s going to love this.
Sanji finally pulls out a photo camera and snaps a couple of shots of the action, cheerfully kicking his legs from his seat in delight.
Sanji
And for the fridge….
He turns his seat around and takes a nice photo of Zoro laughing at Niji. He also manages to catch one of Law who can't help but bear a small entertained smile on his face under the shade of his cap.
Law
Oi! Watch the talons! Back off, Commander or it will pop the bubble!
Niji briefly dips out of sight but manages to recover. Zoro takes his time thinking, his hand massaging his jaw as he digs through his memory banks while watching the commander wrestle the giant bird.
Sanji
You know, I've seen them in a book.
Niji
So what?! Is this it??
Sanji
…It was a black and white print. I don't know if the colour matters.
Niji
Oh, for fuck's sake! Don't give me useless information!
Law
Zoro-ya, just say something already!
Zoro
Curls made a good point…. Was it more blue or more pink…? Is the face really that long? I can't remember.
Law slowly pulls out the feather from his pocket that Corazon had left behind for him, very carefully taking his time to avoid damaging it. He holds it up in his hand for everyone to look at.
Sanji
It's a little more pale than the one Niji’s holding.
Law
Maybe it was younger?
Niji
I hate all of you.
Zoro
I think… I think it is a South Bird.
Niji finally releases the furious bird from his grip. He dodges its angry pecks and swooping before it flies away from them. His clothing had suffered huge scratches throughout his body.
Sanji
Great job, Commander! Need a break?
The blue-haired man flops over the side of the ship, half hanging off the edge as he catches his breath.
Sanji turns the vessel to follow the bird. Thanks to his brother's earlier modifications, they're able to keep up with it without an issue.
After a few moments, Niji pulls himself up to sit on the side of the ship with his feet dangling over the edge, all the while keeping a close eye at the pursuit. He clenches his fist over his chest, still feeling breathless and the altitude isn’t doing him any favours.
Sanji notices the commander’s state and he narrows his eyes at his damaged helmet. A large piece at the front is cracked so badly that it’s just about ready to fall off at any moment.
Zoro offers the blue-haired man his flask of water. Reluctantly, Niji accepts and drinks from it, too tired to say no.
Sanji
I need you to go home, Commander.
Niji
No, I can make it. I promised I'd get you to Skypiea–
Sanji
No, Niji. Not this time.
After another swill, the commander wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and glares at Sanji.
Sanji
We'll be fine, alright?
And…you still have that other mission. You can't dally.
Niji doesn't turn his head but behind his goggles, Zoro notices that he shifts his eyes between him and the blonde. Ultimately, the blue-haired man sighs exasperatedly and throws the half empty flask back to him.
Niji
Fine. But I'm not happy about it.
Sanji gives him a weak smile to try and reassure him.
Sanji
I know.
The blonde turns his attention back towards the South Bird. When he notices that Law gazes away from him as well, Niji takes the opportunity to quickly grab Zoro's arm and shoves something metallic and cold in his robe’s long sleeve, out of everyone else's sight.
The swordsman was initially freaked out but picked up on his discretion. He raises a brow curiously at him.
Niji releases him and gives a thankful nod. He turns his attention back to the blonde.
Niji
Later, Your Highness.
Sanji
Thank you for all your assistance, Commander.
And…get home safe. That's an order.
Niji
Ugh… don't be gross.
He angles himself on the bubble ship, facing the opposite direction where the group is heading. With a kick of his Raid Boots, he sends a strong pulse of force against the surface of the vessel, giving them a rapid boost forward towards the bird. The passengers onboard see him take off into the distance the other way.
Sanji melts in his seat from relief.
Law
What was that other mission, Mr. Prince-ya? …Or is this one of those on the “need-to-know basis” things that you mentioned?
Sanji purses his lips, seriously considering Law's question. After a while, he answers.
Sanji
I sent him to infiltrate Doffy’s ranks…discreetly.
I don't know if I should have done it earlier but…Doffy’s just been too quiet and I don't like it.
Law has a surprised look on his face but decides against arguing about it, detecting the man's genuine concern about the situation and risking his own brother to investigate. In his head, he weighs all the things that the blonde had done to help him during their quest so far. He hated him a little for not following through on any one of his plans, but he can't ignore the fact how effective Sanji has been. He decides to do the unthinkable and put his faith on him.
Law
Do you think there's a possibility that we're in danger?
Sanji
I always think that we’re in danger. How much exactly…is hard to say…. I don't like working blind, doctor. That's why I'm taking the risk. But this means that I have to trust my brother to do the right thing. You've seen him prove himself in the short time he's with us. I hope that's enough to give you comfort.
The doctor eyes the man up and down, considering his words and trying to get a better read on him. He crosses his arms and looks away silently. To him, it sounded like the blonde was trying to convince himself more than anything that he's made the right call.
Zoro felt that cold texture in his sleeve. When he peeks under his robe, he sees a dark canister with the number “3” on it. Confused but thinking it might be important for later, he shifts it somewhere more securely in his haramaki.
—
As they travel, the sky becomes too hazy to see through. After what seemed like hours of obscured vision similar to that of a whiteout during a blizzard, the South Bird descends just as the passengers in the bubble ship start to lose their patience. The fog parts before them and, up ahead, they see a vast sea of clouds stretching far beyond what the eye could see.
Zoro
THERE! The White Sea!
Sanji
Holy shit.
Law
How is this possible…?
The South Bird that they’ve been following disappears somewhere in the horizon as Skypiea finally comes to their full view. As they near, they see a small settlement that consists of tented dwellings, various totems of cultural significance and a tall structure that looks like a wooden watchtower poking out near the edge of the dense jungle.
Zoro
Odd…we should have seen someone by now. The last time I was here, someone was collecting tolls.
Sanji
Hmm…what do you think, doctor? Where should we land?
Law lays the map on the console in front of the blonde and points near the edge of the island.
Law
Let's dock at this shoreline near that village. If that's what I think it is, they would have seen us by now from that watchtower. I want to make sure that we’re not intruding on anyone's territory before we can properly introduce ourselves. I don't know what they're like but I'd like to avoid any political dramas if we can help it.
Also, we need to check our fuel before we get too far. We need to have enough to go back with.
Sanji follows his direction, and lands the ship near a sturdy tree, not bothering to deflate the bubble in case they need to take off soon again.
When they disembark, Zoro immediately secures the bubble boat using its mooring line, then sets to work to check on the state of the ship while Law walks off to investigate the nearby houses for any locals.
—
After a loo break and doing some warm up exercises, Sanji is feeling excited for the new adventure. All his worrying about his brother had overshadowed the fact that he hadn't gone out to properly stretch his legs in a mission for a long time. But now, after seeing a few of the local flora and fauna that he'd never seen before, the blonde is positively enthusiastic for whatever is in store ahead. He approaches the tired-looking captain who is hunched over with the swordsman on the side of the bubble ship, trying to read the map in their possession.
Sanji
Alright, Traffy!
The blonde claps and rubs his hands together in excitement, practically bouncing on his step as he closes in on his companions.
Sanji
I am at your disposal, ready for anything! Just say the word! So what's the plan? I'm assuming you have a well thought through plan? Let's hear it!
Zoro walks to stand behind Sanji with a bright smile on his face, supporting the blonde's statement. He puts his hands on his hips, looking like he's also ready for anything the doctor throws at them.
Law kept still, remaining hunched over the piece of paper, his expression hidden behind the shade of his cap.
Zoro
I uh… feel bad for pretty much wrecking every part of your plans leading up to today so…I'm with Curls. We'll do everything you say. By the book.
Without moving his body, Law turns his head slightly towards them, still hesitating to show his face.
Sanji
Traffy? You okay?
Law
I…
Law finally straightens up to look at his companions eye to eye. He has a morbid look on his face.
Law
I…I don't have any plans.
Zoro and Sanji's jaws drop in disbelief as the doctor rubs the back of his neck shyly. They see his ears redden from embarrassment.
Law
I usually just…wing this part somehow. But I'm stuck without my guys…. I don't actually know how we've come this far….
There was an awkward pause then Sanji suddenly bursts into a fit of laughter and Zoro grins widely at the doctor. Between difficult breaths, the blonde speaks.
Sanji
I was–so, so prepared to do everything right by you!!!
I thought–the doctor is alright–he's great–he saved my life. I need to make up for it–show how much I appreciate him–
He falls to his knees, tears flowing freely from his face. His laughter has become so unhinged that even Zoro's shoulders start twitching from the contagion.
Sanji
And now–now we ask for it and you DON'T have anything?! BWAHAHAHA–!!
Law’s expression darkens just as gradually as Sanji's laughter gets more out of hand. When the doctor finally snaps, Sanji receives well-deserved smacks on his head and the bumps that come with them.
—
After Law tells him that the settlement is weirdly deserted, Zoro suggests that they make their way to Upper Yard, remembering the treaty between Skypiea’s citizens and the tribe of Shandia. They had the joint intention of reclaiming the land that the former God, Enel, once took control of. He thinks that maybe they had all moved there as their new home.
Law supported this as they simply just need more information at this point to see if anyone remembers any Marines or someone of Corazon’s description visiting. He makes an executive decision that they walk to the place, not wanting to miss out on any opportunities that might come their way and use up any more fuel than they already have.
They each carry their own packs and walk towards the general direction where the swordsman pointed to on the map, though Law doesn't have high hopes given the man's directional skills. The bubble ship was left behind after being relocated in the jungle, covered in leaves and other floor debris to keep it out of sight.
Eventually, they come across their first obstacle–a wide river of clouds that separates their side of the land and where they need to be. The moving puffs of cloud before them makes it look like water flowing between solid ground.
Zoro
You can swim in it but from what I remember, there are these things called err… hmm….
Law kicks a pebble into the river. It creates a ripple that spreads right through to the middle, causing a disturbance under the surface. A giant length of scales erupt through the puffs of white then the creature slithers away as quickly as it came.
Sanji
Woah! It's like…what–a Seaking in the sky or something?
Zoro
Sort of. There’s a lot of Sky Fishes. But there’s also Sky Sharks and these giant worms with teeth.
Law
So…no swimming then. That's not a problem.
Zoro
We passed by a big tree with vines. We can swing across–
Law
Don't bother.
The doctor brings up his hand and conjures his Room ability. With a couple of flicks, he teleports Zoro and Sanji to the other side, swapping places with jungle debris in the area. He follows them himself shortly after.
Sanji
Give us a warning next time!
The swordsman and the blonde struggle to stand from the ground, feeling woozy from the sudden vertigo.
They continue their journey forward, stopping often whenever they find an interesting specimen that they each want to look at. They felt like children with short attention spans, getting distracted at everything new everywhere they go. Sanji having a camera also meant more delays whenever he wanted to stop and take pictures. When Law told him to put it away, the blonde snarled and said it was the gift from his Heart Pirates crew. They had made him promise to snap shots of their adventure on their behalf. Law didn't bother him about it since then.
They come across two more gaps to hurdle. Each time, Zoro insists that they swing on a vine but they get teleported before they could say anything about it. Sanji's starting to get sick of being moved from one place to the next so carelessly. After the third time, he finally snaps.
He grabs Law's wrist just as he was about to use his Shambles ability again. The doctor glares at him angrily for the interruption.
Sanji
NO! NO MORE. I'M SICK OF THIS! I almost threw up last time!
Law
What the hell, Mr. Prince-ya?! Get your hands off me!
Sanji pushes Law on the chest childishly.
Sanji
You're taking the fun out of it!!!
Law
The…fun?
Sanji
We're adventuring pirates! We're supposed to go through struggles and find ways to overcome them! Not just…whatever the hell you're doing!
Law
You're complaining about…lack of struggle.
Sanji
You're making it too easy!
Zoro
Traffy, I know I said I'd do everything you say but…I kinda agree with Curly.
Law
…You just want to swing.
Sanji
Let the man swing!
Zoro crosses his arms and nods his head in agreement. Law slaps his forehead in frustration at the whole notion.
Law
It would be faster if–
Zoro and Sanji
NO!!!
Law
Oh, for the love of–FINE!!! How do you propose we cross–
Flailing his arms forwards, Law gestures at the wide river separating them from the next piece of land. The distance is almost twice as long as the length of the Polar Tang.
Law
This?!
Sanji places his arms on his own hips and smirks.
Sanji
I propose a game.
Law
A game?
Sanji
Something that I like to play with my siblings when we're out on joint ventures. It'll be fun, I promise!
Slightly intrigued, Law crosses his arms and listens intently.
Law
Alright…. Let's hear it.
Happy with Law's willingness to listen, Sanji claps his hands together enthusiastically and begins to make hand gestures as he talks.
Sanji
We each hurdle obstacles however we want BUT we have to make it as cool as possible!
Law
…“As cool as possible”.
Sanji
Yes!
Law rolls his eyes looking unimpressed but the blonde continues.
Sanji
There's three of us, so we'll each take a turn playing judge on who gets from point A to point B the coolest way possible. When we reach our final destination, the one with the most points wins!
I’m talking flair–the badassery–even the underappreciated, underrated skills–the whole thing! It's the time to show off what you got and be creative!!!
There's about a million things Law wants to say about the silly game–how unnecessary it is and how many faults there are in the rules. Before he can say anything, the swordsman interrupts.
Zoro
Do I get to swing?
Sanji gives him a wink.
Sanji
To your heart’s content, baby.
Zoro
Let's do it.
Sanji
YES!
Law
Seriously, Zoro-ya?!
Zoro
It sounds more interesting than… “shambles” all day.
Uhm…no offense.
Law groans but waves his hand in dismissal.
Law
Do whatever you want.
Sanji squeals in excitement.
Sanji
That’s the whole point of it!
Zoro
So what’s the prize?
Sanji plays with his goatee thoughtfully. Then his expression darkens as his lips thin into a devilish smile.
Sanji
How about…a favour?
Zoro furrows his brow at that.
Law tips his head at the idea. He takes a step forward towards the blonde.
Law
Go on…
Sanji
Any time, anywhere in the world, no questions asked. The winner gains the favour from the other two contenders so that he may call on them at a time of his choosing–together or separately.
Zoro
Oh… Curls… I don't know…
The doctor unexpectedly chuckles, his tone just as dark as the blonde’s smile. He holds out a hand, which Sanji takes without hesitation. The swordsman looks between the two of them nervously.
