"Captain, please consider again!"

"Captain, I have a pretty wife back home, please let's not do this."

"God, I am just 20 this year. Why do I have to die?"

Leo rubbed his forehead when he saw his crew bawling their eyes out.

"I won't change my mind. Get back to work!"

He declared loudly and went back to his cabin. The crew left despondently.

Cricket modified the warship and with the help of the crew he added wings to the ship. It took a day to make sure the modifications were upto a certain quality.

Today was the day they would ride the Knock-Up stream to get to Sky Island.

Cricket informed the crew about the time of the next Knock-Up stream.

"Leo, I wish you luck."

Cricket said.

Leo nodded, "Thanks for your help."

Cricket waved his hand, "You are a marine. I have only seen pirates be this adventurous, however you are different. I can't let a rare guy like you stop here."

Leo thanked him and boarded the ship. The crew had a lifeless look on their face. Some of them were even muttering some gibberish.

"Look strong, you fools. We are going to ride the Knock-Up stream, the tiniest mistake will lead to death. So, perk up!"

Leo loudly spoke to his crew. That seems to have put some life into them.

The Warship slowly left Jaya Island. It stopped after moving some distance and waited.

Not long after the water started to seethe forming a terrifying whirlpool. However it disappeared in an instant.

Leo's spiritual sense picked up something stirring beneath the water.

"Steady!"

The crew grabbed the railings and wrapped a chain around them.

Leo held Shinobu by her waist and waited.

Boom!

The water swelled up like a balloon and blasted into the air. The Warship was drawn in towards it.

The ship started to climb up the pillar of water. In an instant it picked up speed.

Leo drew his sword and struck out. A rope was cut and the wings on the ship stretched out.

When the wing was stretched out the wind pressure lifted the ship from the water surface.

Whoosh!

The ship flew forward with incredible speed. The crew had a pale face and started praying to the gods.

Whooohoooo!

Leo yelled loudly. His heart was beating faster as the wind blew past his face.

Soon their ship got close to the sea of clouds and was swallowed by it.

Leo couldn't see anything infront of him. It was white everywhere.

Before long they broke free from the clouds and emerged. The ship harshly landed on the clouds and rocked for a few seconds before stabilising.

Bleh!

The crew started to vomit their guts out. Only Leo and Shinobu seemed alright.

Mace held onto the main mast and tried his best to orientate himself. His gut churned and he started to vomit. He felt slightly better after letting it all out.

Raising his head he was stunned by what he saw. A sea of clouds.

They did it! They were riding on clouds!

The crew was excited however they didn't have enough strength to cheer so they could only smile foolishly.

They drifted through the sea of cloud and reached something like a gate. Rows of pillers stood on both sides of it.

The word 'Heavens Gate' was written on it.

Click!

A flash of light came from one side. Leo looked down and saw an old wrinkled woman holding what looked like a camera. The flash of light was from it.

"My name is Amazon, keeper of 'Heavens Gate'."

Leo asked, "Could you tell us how to get to Sky Island."

The old woman pointed to a long winding path made of clouds and said, "Take the winding cloud road and you can get to Skypiea."

Leo thanked her. However the old woman wasn't finished, "The pass fee for one person is 1 billion extol."

Leo and the crew were stunned. 1 billion extol? What's an extol?

Shinobu said, "We don't have any extol. Can we still pass?"

The old woman replied, "You can."

Huh?

They were all stunned. They can still pass even if they don't pay?

"Alright, thank you. We choose to go forward."

Leo thanked the old woman and gave his answer.

As soon as he said those words a pair of gaint claws came out from the white clouds. Everyone clearly saw what it was. It was a giant lobster.

Leo didn't take action. He felt no malice from it.

The ship was tightly held by it. It started to move towards the winding cloud path.

They were yet again taken through a wild ride. Leo and Shinobu were fine but the men were far from it. They just gained some strength to stand up when they were again thrown into a mad ascension.

The lobster moved very fast. Not long after they broke through another layer of clouds and emerged.

This time what was infront of them wasn't vast white clouds but an island. They were finally here.

Sky Island!

Their ship got close to the shore. Leo jumped down onto the sea made of clouds. His feet sunk in. It felt soft and fluffy.

Shinobu joined him. She was excited to walk through clouds. She buried her face in it. Leo laughed when he saw her.

The crew was pale and wretching their gut out. They didn't have an ounce of strength left. First the monstrous Knock-Up stream then the winding cloud road... their mind and body were spent.

Looking at their Captain and the mistress they felt admiration. They went through all of that and still had energy to laugh and roll around on the clouds.

Meanwhile down below at the 'Heavens Gate'.

The old woman took out a shell and pressed a button before speaking into it.

"This is Heaven's Gate inspector Amazon. Attention, almighty God and His priests, 27 illegal entrants into God's Land, Skypiea."

"Give unto them Heaven's Judgement!!"
