Their ship continued to sail through the clouds as they approached the massive floating islands. With the permanent pointer guiding them toward the heart of Skypiea, they took in the surreal landscape around them. The sea of clouds rippled beneath them like a great, silent ocean, like an blue sea, thsi whole place was White sea.
Tony leaned over the edge of the ship, marveling at the strange terrain. "It's hard to believe something exists...a whole world hidden above the clouds."
"Yeah, makes me wonder what else could be out there," Dave mused, still holding his girls as they looked over the edge together.
"Hey! We're here!" After some time sailing through the sea of clouds, they finally reached the golden, star-like gate with "Heaven's Gate" written on it.
"To think I'd go to heaven while still alive," Tony mumbled incredulously.
"Are devils even allowed in heaven?" Diana asked, casting a curious look at Trish and Dave.
"Shut up, it's not the real heaven," Dave said, looking at her with a smirk.
"Ow!" Diana winced, rubbing her head. "Why did you flick my head?"
"Because it's the fun thing to do," Dave retorted, tilting his head playfully.
"You meanie!" Diana huffed and moved a bit further away, crossing her arms. Dave just smiled, pulled her by the waist, and gave her a gentle kiss, making her blush in surprise and her anger was melted away.
Reaching Heaven's Gate, they were surprised to find it guarded by an old granny.
"Entry fee is 1 billion extols," she said as Dave looked at her, unimpressed. "We don't have any money."
"It's fine; you can still go up. I'm no guard or watchwoman, just an overseer," she replied with a sly smile. With a nod, Dave signaled Tony to continue forward.
The next part of their path was like a roller coaster, twisting and climbing high up toward the floating islands.
The granny watched them disappear into the clouds and mumbled under her breath, "Hehehe, let the heavenly judgment rain down on these illegal tourists."
Going through the roller-coaster-like ride, they soon saw the next sign ahead: God Island - Skypiea.
Emerging onto the White Sea, they all marveled at the heavenly sight of a kingdom floating over a sea of clouds.
"This is so beautiful," Pepper said, and the others nodded in agreement.
"Alright, guys, I'll be heading out. You all go and enjoy," Dave said, jumping off and beginning his flight toward the uppermost island where Enel resided.
"He should enjoy too," Tony shook his head, watching Dave fly off.
The others shrugged and jumped off the ship, making their way toward the town visible in the distance.
Meanwhile, Dave continued flying, musing to himself, "Should I kill him or recruit him?" He wasn't interested in exploring Sky Island, especially with the constant threat of lightning strikes from above.
Soon, Dave reached Upper Yard and headed toward the heart of it, where a massive ship was anchored. Nearby, lounging without a care, was Enel.
"Who are you?" Enel asked, glancing lazily at Dave.
"You seem pretty relaxed for someone who's about to get beaten up," Dave replied, smirking.
Enel sighed, not even bothering to look at him directly. "Many have said that, but what can a mortal do to Thunder? I am Thunder itself: God Enel."
Dave chuckled, unimpressed, as he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. "Kneel."
Enel, who had been on the verge of yawning, suddenly felt an immense pressure crash down on him, forcing him to his knees. Stunned, he looked up at Dave. "What... is this...?"
Dave didn't answer. In an instant, he used Trickshot to close the distance, landing a powerful punch squarely on Enel's face. Enel barely had a moment to register his thoughts—Physical attacks won't work...—before his world went black, Dave's Armament Haki-covered fist having knocked him out cold.
Dave stood over the unconscious Enel, smirking at the so-called "God of Thunder" now lying helplessly at his feet. He quickly bound Enel with seastone cuffs he'd prepared beforehand, making sure the self-proclaimed god wouldn't be able to escape or use his powers.
"That was easier than expected," Dave muttered, looking down at the fallen Enel. "Guess I didn't need to decide whether to kill or recruit him yet."
He activated his communicator. "Hey, Tony, mission's done. I'm bringing back a 'souvenir.' Make sure there's a secure cell ready on the ship."
"Already?!" Tony's voice crackled over the line, surprised. "You really do work fast."
"Someone has to," Dave replied with a smirk. "The rest of you enjoy exploring. I'll bring Enel back to the ship and join you in a bit."
Back in the sky island town, the crew had split up to explore. Emma and Trish were wandering through the bustling market, taking in the unusual items from the sky. Diana and Pepper were fascinated by the strange dials, testing out a few with curious enthusiasm. Each member enjoyed the respite, knowing that their captain was handling the heavy lifting.
"I kind of feel bad for him, doing all the work while we're here shopping," Diana said, holding up a handful of exotic shells.
Trish laughed. "He likes it that way, trust me."
Soon after, Dave returned with Enel in tow, chained and unresponsive. The crew gathered around, curious.
"So, what do we do with him now?" Emma asked, inspecting Enel with mild amusement.
"We keep him locked up until I decide," Dave replied. "He might be useful if he pledges his loyalty. Otherwise..." He left the sentence hanging, but everyone understood.
With their prize secured, the Hell Prince Pirates continued their exploration of Sky Island, but this time with their sights set on locating the mythical Light Angel Fruit.
This time, they continued to explore the islands, enjoying everything from Sky Crabs to White Sea fish. There were all kinds of tasty food to try, and most of the inhabitants were blissfully unaware that their so-called "God" Enel was now a prisoner of the Hell Prince Pirates.
For over a month, they thoroughly explored Sky Island, relishing its unique landscapes and delicacies. Eventually, they located the mythical Light Angel Devil Fruit, which Diana claimed, as her powers were the weakest in the crew.
With the fruit in their possession and the exploration complete, they set sail, leaving Sky Island behind and ready for their next adventure.
