Where do you think you're going?!\" Sarquiss roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy stopped, turned, and pointed boldly at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sky Island!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates blinked, stunned. Then Sarquiss burst into angry laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ridiculous! Another foolish dream!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed foolish.\" Shirogai snapped his fingers, a thin smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don't forget who I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, visions of earlier that day flooded the Bellamy Pirates' minds. The memory of kneeling helplessly under Shirogai's overwhelming presence returned, suffocating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarquiss went pale. I even dared to threaten him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed to his knees, slamming his forehead against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forgive me, Shirogai San!

Forgiveness… that's for devils.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world twisted. A blood moon rose above Mock Town, casting everything in a crimson glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon blinked like a great eye, watching them. Whispers and clawing sounds echoed all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back, my dearest scumbags…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates screamed. They were dragged into a nightmarish version of Mock Town—Freddy's Town. Tombstones split apart as rotting arms clawed up from the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Not this again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the ground, zombie doubles of the Bellamy Pirates emerged, snarling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\" Bellamy, newly awake, was pinned beneath his own rotting duplicate, screaming in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? They all just collapsed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy glanced back at the Bellamy crew, unconscious and twitching on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they're tired, they should just go home and sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe fools don't need such luxuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures returned to their companions. Relief spread across the Straw Hats' faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These guys…\" Zoro smirked. \"Shirogai, I didn't think you'd actually let yourself be abducted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji flicked his cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, when we thought that egg worth a hundred million Berries was gone, I almost laughed myself sick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai rubbed his nose, grinning self-deprecatingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No choice. I was just a foolish egg back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man!\" Luffy handed Cricket the bag of gold. \"Here's your treasure back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket took it, smiling faintly as smoke curled from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Straw Hat. Now let's hurry—before morning, we need to reinforce the ship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the night, everyone worked on the Going Merry. With the Wax-Wax Fruit's reinforcement, she became sturdier than ever, a ship ready to take to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By dawn, the Going Merry was transformed. A mighty figurehead shaped like a rooster stood proudly at her bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow! Amazing!\" Luffy shouted, eyes shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Going Merry is gonna take us straight to the sky!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp puffed out his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going Merry—Flight Mode!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little ones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy hopped onto the figurehead, pointing grandly to the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Target: Sky Island!
