The awakened pirates and Shandorians were dazed.
They didn't understand what had happened.
But the battle between Logia users was over.
They'd witnessed a battle between Logia users—a story for a lifetime!
The pirates, understanding this, were energized.
The Shandorians asked Wyper what happened.
Wyper, the Mantis, and Raki were also confused.
But the overwhelming aura was undeniable.
"What did they do?" A Shandorian asked Mont Blanc, who had also fainted—he hadn't reached elite status.
Montblanc shook his head. "That's Haki, a top-tier skill alongside Devil Fruits. Her Conqueror's Haki is rare, a king's mark. Truly the Pirate Empress."
He'd joined Alistair's side due to mutual benefit. He didn't understand Alistair's goals, ambitions, or plans, but as long as he reached Skypiea, he was a loyal ally.
"The Blue Sea… so strong?" Wyper murmured, feeling like a frog in a well.
"Lafitte!" Alistair shouted.
"Yes," Lafitte, with his cane and wings, approached Alistair, increasingly respectful.
"Tell everyone below that we've reached Skypiea safely, secured it. Find a place with Den Den Mushi signal and report back."
"Understood." He bowed and swiftly departed.
Skypiea was located on clouds; Den Den Mushi communication wasn't guaranteed. Finding a signal was a task for Lafitte.
"Others, continue marching!" Alistair pointed. "Carry him; put on Seastone cuffs and shackles." Amazon Lily had some in stock; Bellamy was restrained with Seastone cuffs.
Enel was also restrained.
But Alistair didn't unpetrify him; Hancock was angry; he'd deal with it later.
Everyone moved.
The benefits of weighted marches were evident; forty people carried ten balloon baskets without significantly slowing down.
The Shandorians, humbled by the battle, followed, uneasy.
If they failed, their efforts would be meaningless.
In a way, they were right.
"Mont Blanc, what are their goals?" Wyper, lacking information, relied on Mont Blanc.
Mont Blanc didn't know Alistair's goals; he shook his head, unsure if he was refusing or expressing ignorance.
Wyper followed; they quickly crossed the White White Sea, reaching Angel Island.
This was once home to the Sky Islanders, but the arrival of God's Island—the other half of Jaya—forced them to relocate to God's Island, leading to a four-hundred-year war with the Shandorians.
The Shandorians lacked resources; their strength was high, but their population dwindled; the Sky Islanders, despite being weak, had sufficient weapons to resist.
This place, meant to be a defensive line, was deserted.
Originally, after becoming god, Enel forced the Sky Islanders back to Angel Island, occupying God's Island.
He mobilized the Sky Islanders and built his Ark Maxim.
But he'd just defeated the priests; only his four priests remained.
The priests, lacking Enel's Mantra, likely knew of his defeat.
They advanced without resistance; the silence was unnerving.
The Shandorians didn't understand; if their opponents easily defeated the Sky Islanders, what chance did they have?
Reaching the Sky Islanders' highest level, the Sky Islanders hid, watching them approach God's residence.
It was in ruins.
Numerous priests lay unconscious, struck by lightning.
The four priests trembled, awaiting Enel's return.
Seeing Enel's petrified statue carried by the pirates, they prostrated themselves.
Alistair asked, "Where's the god?"
"I'm here." Gan Fall, leaning on a lance, rose, disheveled. His flying horse supported him.
"Good. Since you're alive, that's best." Alistair shouted. "Gather all Sky Islanders! Shandorians too."
"I have something to say."
