Conis

The giant flying ark, Maxim, hovers in the sky. Enel's face is sculpted on the front. Inside, Nami looks around in awe, thinking, 'LOOK AT ALL THIS GOLD...!' Enel, sitting on his throne, remarks, 'Is causing a commotion over at Angel Beach... It seems that girl...' Nami asks, 'Um... Does that ability you call mantra allow you to tell who's doing what faraway?' Enel replies, 'I'm a special case.' He continues, 'There's all kinds of commotion still going on outside... Though they're all of only trivial concern. Yahahaha...' Nami realizes, '...Conis!? It can't be... She should be on our ship...' Enel explains, 'So then... A country of this size is easily covered in my range. And if I were to hear any undesirable talk... I send forth my judgment. I can complement my mantra with my lightning body to read electromagnetic waves, allowing me to listen in on conversations.'

Enel lounges on his throne, boasting, 'Truly, an ability fit for a god... Yahahaha... Run, run, run as much you want, angels of the sky...!' He leans forward, asking Nami, 'You, there... Have you ever seen the look on humans who've suddenly lost their footing...!?' He laughs maniacally, 'YAHAHAHA! It's the closing act of Skypiea... A celebration of angels as they dance in the sky...!' Nami trembles in fear, a shiver running down her spine ('Zaa...'). She thinks, 'NO, EVEN IF I WERE TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE, THIS WHOLE ISLAND WILL SOON BE DESTROYED...! WHAT DO I DO... IF I DON'T RUN AWAY NOW, I...'

Enel suddenly stops laughing and looks off to the side, his expression turning serious and attentive. '...' Nami notices his shift in demeanor and asks nervously, 'Is... Is something the matter? Umm...' Enel's eyes narrow as he focuses on something unseen. Nami wonders, 'WHO COULD IT BE...!?' Enel stands up from his throne, grabbing his golden staff, and dismisses her concern, '...No, It's nothing...'

Down at Angel Beach, White Berets ride their wavers across the water. 'SPLASH!! SPLASH!!' One shouts, 'What're you doing! Catch that girl!' Conis is seen speeding towards the shore on a waver. A White Beret commands, 'Restrain the blasphemer as soon as she docks!' Another replies, 'YES, SIR!' They taunt her, 'Stupid girl! You're already a bird caught in a trap!' Conis, holding a large bazooka, yells, 'PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY!'

Conis flies her waver over the beach, surprising the citizens. '!!' She lands forcefully, causing a White Beret to crash into a stone wall. 'UGH!' 'CAPTAIN!' The onlookers are shocked. 'How can this happen!?' 'The direct servants of the priests, the White Berets have been-' More White Berets crash their wavers in the chaos. 'CAPTAAAIN!' 'GAHH!' 'AHH-' 'TA...'

Conis stands on the beach, holding her weapon. The crowd points at her. 'The woman who went against God!' 'It's the criminal!' 'Cpt. McKinley!' Conis pleads, 'Listen to what I have to say! Everyone, please!' The crowd yells, 'She's resisting the White Berets!' Conis pants heavily, 'HUFF... HUFF...' The citizens angrily reject her. 'Blasphemer!' 'That's right! With you here, all of us here might be drawn into God's judgment!' 'Get lost from this island, demon!'

Conis aims her flame bazooka at a frightened White Beret. 'DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!' The guard recoils. Conis warns, 'And I'm not afraid to use it! This is a flame bazooka.' She then turns to the crowd and shouts, 'YOU MUST ESCAPE TO THE BLUE SEAS! EVERYONE! MAKE YOUR WAY TO CLOUD'S END!' The crowd murmurs in confusion.

The citizens are bewildered. 'What...!?' 'Captain...' A White Beret scoffs, 'What nonsense she's spouting...!' Conis yells at the top of her lungs, 'GOD ENEL! IS PLANNING ON DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY! EVERYONE WHO REMAINS HERE WILL DIE!' The crowd reacts with outrage and disbelief. 'DON'T YOU DARE RIDICULE OUR GOD ENEL!' 'What's she planning?' 'Is this her idea of revenge!?' 'That's crazy...' '...Wha?' '!!?'

Conis stands firm, a tear rolling down her cheek. A citizen stammers, 'Agh- S... Sorry...' as a thrown rock hits Conis in the head. A White Beret orders, 'Arrest her!' 'YES, SIR!' Conis drops her bazooka. 'She threw down her weapon!' She takes a deep breath and screams, 'I REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE! ENEL AS A GOD!'

Conis looks up at the sky, whispering, 'FATHER!' The crowd panics, expecting immediate divine retribution. 'WHA-' 'GET AWAY FROM HER! GOD'S JUDGMENT IS COMING!' 'SHE ACTUALLY SAID IT!' People flee in terror. A wide shot shows Angel Island, but the sky remains clear. No lightning strikes.

Silence falls over the beach. Conis stands with her eyes closed, waiting. The crowd stops running, confused. 'But she said such blasphemous things...!' 'Why?' 'Isn't coming...' 'The judgment...' Conis opens her eyes and explains, 'To deliver the message that Skypiea will be destroyed. But in doing so, he and my father received judgment. It's because Enel has no need to extinguish a mere single life anymore! It was a member of God's militia who risked his very life,'

Conis urges them, 'You must all go to Cloud's End now! There's no time left.' The crowd is still in denial. 'That can't be...' 'What did she say about God? Isn't God supposed to help us!?' They argue amongst themselves. 'There's always a chance! A chance that... Some miracle will happen... And things will pass without sky island having to be detroyed!' 'Maybe God will have a change of mind...! Then-' Conis interrupts them angrily, 'THEN ARE YOU SIMPLY GOING TO AWAIT YOUR DEATH HERE!?' The citizens protest, 'We've never even gone to the blue seas before! How could we survive there!?' 'We were born and raised here in the sky!' 'This is... This is crazy talk!' Conis shouts, 'DO YOU REALLY THINK A MIRACLE WILL COME IF YOU WAIT!? WE ALL KNOW VERY WELL THAT THE ONLY THING GOD HAS IN STORE FOR US... IS EVEN MORE DESPAIR!'

Conis continues her impassioned plea. 'At the very least, this country as of now... DOES NOT HAVE A GOD! There are things that take priority over praying which must be done right now!' She yells, 'If you don't take matters into your own hands, Things are different now! You will no longer be spared simply by cowering as a victim! IT WON'T MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LATER RESENT THOSE RESPONSIBLE! YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOUR LIVES!' She screams with all her might, 'TO ABANDON YOUR COUNTRY TO SAVE YOUR LIVES! SO RESOLVE YOURSELVES!'

Elsewhere, Aisa is riding on Pierre's back (in his pegasus form) as they fly rapidly towards the giant beanstalk. 'DASH!' They reach the base of the massive plant. Aisa says, 'YES! IT'S THAT HOLE FOR SURE!' Pierre replies, 'YOU'RE SURE, RIGHT!?' They dive into a large opening at the roots. Aisa yells, 'PIEERRE!' Pierre says, 'THEN LET'S HURRY!'

The giant beanstalk stretches high into the clouds. In the ruins of Shandora, Nico Robin stands battered and bruised. She looks at the fallen fighters around her. 'BUT I CAN'T CARRY ALL OF THEM AT ONCE... WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR WAY UP TO THE UPPER STRATUM...! AT THE VERY LEAST...' Three panels show the unconscious bodies of Roronoa Zoro, Wiper, and Gan Fall lying on the ground. The scene shifts back to the Maxim.

Enel stands on the deck of the Maxim, looking down. 'Huh? As I suspected... They were not among the 5 survivors...' He looks annoyed. 'To see that my prediction was off... How unpleasant...' Nami, standing behind him, looks surprised. 'Ah!' 'What!?' A voice calls out from below, 'ARE YOU THE ONE CALLED ENEL!?'

Luffy stands on the deck of the Maxim, glaring furiously at Enel. 'WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO... TO MY CREW.' Enel looks down at him with a calm, arrogant expression. 'Which trash do you refer to?' Luffy stands his ground, ready to fight. Nami's voice cries out, 'LUFFY!'
