Shō opened his eyes and watched as the series of orbs continued to hit each other rapid fire, creating a rather bright light underneath him that started to seem as if it was trying to spread out. Small dots within the cloud gave Shō the thought that Satori had loaded many of his orbs with projectiles. Shō loaded his orbs with short burst bombs that would deal extra damage or knock away any projectiles that Satori would send at him. Shō then just sighed as he stood upon the orb and looked around.
(Orb Dragon)
1/9
"Ahahahahaha so you truly think you have a chance?? Are you stupid!?!? Hahaha!!" Cried out Satori as Shō looked his way. To Shō's surprise, there was now several orbs that were in a row with the lead orb having a large dragon mask upon it. Shō made a face as if he was starting to get pissed and then noted the rope that was held from his hands that obviously controlled the dragon. Shō made a smile and then pulled back a fist, only to find that it bumped something. Shō's eyes grew wide as everything grew dark from the light from the orb casting shadows across his eyes.
2/9
Shō quickly jumped forwards and spun around, crossing his arms to brace himself for impact. But Shō's eyes widened as he realized that it was just lights and nothing more. Quickly turning his head Shō saw the line of orbs headed towards him. Cursing under his breath, Shō quickly spun around once again but was slammed into the head of the orb line and there was a sudden explosion as a fire orb created a massive chain reaction in orbs, blowing Shō high into the sky.
3/9
Shō's eyes were white, his entire clothing blackened from the dragon exploding. He had never expected that this guy would be so damn smart. Shō made a face as he then blinked and regained his sight once more. "It's... Not... Over... Yet..." Said Shō as he suddenly gripped his hands and then spun around. Pulling a hand back, Shō then started launching a flurry of shock waves through the air that were small in size but more accurate and able to reach farther distances as he threw his hands rapid fire.
4/9
Shō sighed as orbs started to cover Satori but then realized that this was his chance. Smiling, Shō then created an orb under him, or rather in front of him in this case, and then kicked off of that, sending himself flying into the trees behind Satori. As the orbs stopped getting destroyed by Shō's attack, Satori shot the orbs forwards, thinking that Shō was still on the other side but then was in shock as Shō burst from the bushes behind him and towards the spherical man with his cutlass out.
5/9
"Be gone! Forever silent in my dreams!!" The scream came out from Shō as he threw forwards his arms, sending a stab towards the fat man. But Shō was caught off guard as the sky now started to rain down orbs. Pissed, Shō realized that Satori could not use the Ordeal of Orbs as it would be too dangerous to have the orbs exploding around him... Shō was wrong. As Shō cut one of them, he was surprised that it actually exploded in his face, sending him crashing down into the ground. Pissed from this, Shō then jumped back to his feet, avoiding an incoming orb.
6/9
"SATORI! ITS OVER!" The shout came from Shō, his eyes were like fire now as these orbs were becoming a nuisance. "I'LL OBLITERATE YOU! FOOLISH MAN!" Cried out Shō as he then appeared in front of Satori and then sent a kick into his stomach. "MEGATON KICK!" Cried out Shō. He then came back to his senses, his usual state. Looking at the man, Shō was startled at this. He was now a bloody mess and it was all because of that one kick... Did this guy really fight before? Shō then looked to his hands, and started to shake.
7/9
"What the hell has happened to me?" Thought Shō as he grabbed the sides of his arms and then fell to his knees. He was in despair now. He was starting to become what he didn't want to be... The pirates that killed three fourths the population of his village while he was a child... And the very same three fourths were his responsibility to save. Shō then started to shake like a leaf, his eyes starting to water as the memories started to drift back into his head. The thought of becoming them was starting to become real.
8/9
Suddenly, the face of the man that killed his family and most of the village appeared, whispering... Whispering... Whispering... Shō didn't want to hear what the image had to say but his ears were always open. "You let them die... You enjoyed seeing the death of others... You always wanted to see how it's like to kill." The voice continued on and on until Shō finally snapped. His hand grabbed the rope that was next to him and then there was a suddenly appearance of several orbs all in a row with the lead orb having a dragon mask.
9/9

Once Shō entered another area of Upper Yard, he was amazed. Everything was larger than normal; the trees, the plants, and pretty much everything else. He soon felt very small while he wandered Upper Yard. During his exploration in Upper Yard, Shō ran into a man. He stood near a giant bird. Shō wasn't intimidated by him, so he walked up to the stranger. "Oi! I'm Shō. What's your name?" He waved and smiled. The man turned to Shō with an annoyed frown. "I am Shura." Shō chuckled. "Shura, eh? That's a cool name." He nodded, agreeing with his statement. Shura continued to frown. "Leave Upper Yard." Shō was offended by that remark. "Why should I?" Shura shook his head and charged towards Shō. He brought out his weapon, a lance that was similar to that of Gan Fall's. Except this one lit up in flames soon after it was brought out. Shō was a bit confused by this, but he was ready for anything.
(Heat Dial Installment)
1/2
Shura jabbed at Shō with his fire lance. Though Shō just moved to the side and dodged it. "Hey!" Shura continued to jab at him rapidly, though Shō dodged each and every attack. Soon enough, Shura got tired and stopped. "You're pretty good, kid." Shō smiled and nodded. "I guess so." Shura snickered. "Do you have a Heat Dial on you? I'll teach you how to install them onto weapons and other objects. Heat Dial Installment." A look of excitement was brought to Shō's face. "Yeah! I do!" Laughing, Shō brought out the Heat Dial that he had just bought. "And do you happen to have a weapon that you could attach that to?" Shō thought, then nodded. He brought out his revolver MoonDoggie. "That will work perfectly." After that was done, Shura taught Shō how to install the Heat Dial onto MoonDoggie. When that was finished, Shō smiled and attached the Heat Dial into his gun.

Shura looked at Shō and frowned a bit. "Is this your first time in Skypiea?" Shō was a bit surprised by the sudden question. "Um, not its actually not. I've been here before I'm just visiting again to become stronger." Shō laughed a bit nervously. "I see." Shura nodded, then continued to ask questions. "Why did you choose to come to Skypiea? And did you come alone?" Shura crossed his arms and waited for a reply. Shō shook his head. "I did come alone. I came to skypiea alone, you see I'm just trying to become stronger." He smiled with some pride. "And we came to Skypiea for the adventure and experience." Shura looked a bit surprised. "So you had no real purpose here?" Shō shook his head and smiled. "Nope. I just came for fun." Shura then shook his head. "Tell me, how does one from the Blue Sea get to Skypiea?" Shō thought about it, then remembered exactly how.
(Ordeal of String)
1/7
"The Knock-Up Stream." Shura looked a bit interested in those words. "Knock-Up Stream? Please explain." Shō was confused. He didn't really know what to say. "It's basically a huge stream of water leading into the clouds. And that's how we got here." Shura nodded. "Ah, yes." Then, there was a bit of silence. Shura broke the silence. "How many times have you visited this land." It didn't take Shō long to answer that question. "This is my second time visiting skypiea." Shura nodded, then grinned. "That is a rather small amount of times to visit." Shō laughed. "Well, I haven't had much time to come around here." Shura frowned. "You won't get far if your not constantly fighting!" Then, Shō frowned as well. "Well, I don't see why not." Shura shook his head. "You could be outnumbered and overpowered quickly. It's a shame." Shō made a fist. "No! Don't underestimate me, stupid man!"
2/7
Shura grinned. "I see you have much confidence in your own power.." Shō simply smiled and chuckled. "Hmph. Well, I must get going..." Shō was surprised by the sudden change of mind. "No! Wait!" Shura frowned. "Please, do not keep me longer than I wish." Shō frowned and slowly walked towards Shura. Then, Shura looked towards Shō and glared. "Look, boy. I'm busy." He brought out, what looked to be, a Dial. "Ordeal of String!" Suddenly, Shō stopped moving. "Hey, what's going on?!" Shura grinned. "This is my Ordeal of String technique. It traps an opponent in invisible, unbreakable string, making them vulnerable to other attacks. For a while, at least." Shō's eyes glistened with excitement. "Oh! Oh! Teach me that! Teach me that!" By the time he said that, Shō was freed from the string trap. "Hm? You don't even have a String-" But before Shura could finish, Shō brought out his String Dial.
3/7
"I just bought this." He smiled and snickered happily. Shura frowned. "I'm busy. Maybe some other." Shō frowned as well, then ran up to Shura. "Aw, come on! Teach me the Ordeal of String! Come on! Teach me!" Obviously, Shura was getting annoyed. You could tell by the look on his face. But Shō was oblivious to it. He just kept asking and bugging Shura about it. Until finally, he caved. "Alright! I'll teach you! Just shut up!" Shura covered his ears in an annoyed manner. Shō smiled happily. "Yosh!" He threw his hands into the air. "Hmph. Annoying little brat." Shō ignored that comment and continued to laugh. "So, how do I do it?" Shura brought about another annoyed look. "Basically, you just activate the Dial and capture your opponent in the string it emits." Shō smiled. "That's cool!" Shura did not reply.
4/7
There was bit of a moment of silence between Shura and Shō. But Shō was the first to speak, thus breaking the silence. "Does it always work?" Shura grinned. "I forgot to mention that. No, it does not always work. Sometimes, the string does not bind the opponent quick enough." Shō smiled, then nodded. "That's okay." Shura grinned, then brought out his String Dial once more. He gestured to Shō, telling him to watch, as he would be demonstrating once again. Shō nodded. Shura took a breath, then activated the String Dial, which quickly wrapped around Shō. He had no idea that he was target, so he was not able to react. Shō was binded within the string. "Hey, what's the big idea?!" Shura chuckled a bit. Soon enough, the string released its grip.
5/7
Shō dusted himself. "Hey, that wasn't nice." Shura grinned. "Of course." Shō simply frowned, though he was still a bit confused. "Okay, my turn!" Shō readied his String Dial and activated it. Though it was not quick enough, as Shura was able to get away. "Huh? What happened? Oi, Shura. I think my String Dial is broken. Give me yours." Shura brought about a sort of annoyed and angry look. "I'm not giving you my String Dial!" He calmed himself. "Remember? I told you that it does not always work. The string wasn't fast enough this time." Shura grinned, though Shō frowned. "I still think it's broken." Shura got another annoyed face. "It's not broken!" Shō nodded. "Well, okay. I'll try again." Shō took some sort of a breath. Then, he looked at Shura, who was ready for the incoming attack. When Shō was ready, he activated the String Dial.
6/7
Almost as quickly as Shō could blink, the string was shot out. Shura didn't even see the attack coming and didn't react, thus causing him to get tangled within the web of string. Shura grinned a bit. "Very good." Shō smiled and started to put away the String Dial. Shura caught him before doing so. "No, leave your String Dial out. You'll need it for the next technique." As he said this, he was set free from the string trap. Shō was a bit confused, but followed what Shura said and kept his String Dial out. Shura slowly walked over to Shō and brought out his own String Dial, and surprisingly, his Heat Dial too. "Bring out your Heat Dial, as well theres much for you to learn young one." Shō nodded and obliged.

Shō brought out both his Heat Dial and String Dial. He showed them to Shura, who nodded. "Good. This technique will require both. Your going to thank me later on, hehehe." Shō smiled. The technique already sounded cool. It was going to involve two Dials, which was cool enough for Shō. Shura began his explanation. "Basically, you successfully perform the Ordeal of String. Then, you use Heat Dial Installment and attach your Heat Dial to the end of one of the strings. The flame would follow the string, and eventually burn your opponent." Shō' eyes glistened with excitement. "Wow! That's cool!" He laughed happily. "Hm. It is. It is quite a powerful technique, if used correctly." Shō smiled to Shura. When he thought about how they had met, he laughed. Shō could tell that back then, Shura didn't like to be in Shō's company. He seemed to change once he got to know Shō.
(Heat Dial Blast)
1/5
Shura saw Shō laugh. "What's so funny, boy I don't see anything funny?" Shō hated that comment, so he remained silent for a bit. When Shura was about to ask what was wrong, Shō answered his question. "Oh, it was nothing." He laughed nervously, but at the back of his head he felt like sending Shura six feet under. Shura nodded and readied his Heat and String Dial. "I will demonstrate." Shō nodded and smiled. He liked it when people demonstrated techniques for him. It just made him feel a little more comfortable. Shura faced a bush, which was just a little taller than him, and then took a breath. Once he was ready, he activated the String Dial, which successfully binded the bushes. Shō would see the string compressed the bush. There were little creases in it. Then, Shura activated the Heat Dial and lit one end of a string. Slowly, the flame followed the string.
2/5
Soon enough, the flame reached the bush. Upon contact, the bush started to burn and crackle with flame. Shō watched in amazement as the bush burned into ashes. Shura was seen grinning. He walked over to Shō and put away his Dials. "See that? Imagine the bush was an opponent." Shō smiled, and Shura replied with a grin. "Now you try." Shō didn't take any time to think about it, and nodded immediately. There was some odd air around Shō. It was awkward, since he would be using two Dials this time. But he knew it wouldn't be much of a challenge. Shō walked around and tried to find another target. Shura watched intently. He didn't know what Shō was doing, and intended to find out by watching him. Soon, Shō found another bush, a bit smaller than Shura's target. Then, Shura knew what he was doing.
3/5
"I'm going to practice on that tree!" Shō turned to Shura and waved trying to catch his attention. Shura simply nodded and grinned. He crossed his arms and waited for something to happen. Shō turned back to the tree and readied his Dials. As quickly as he took a breath, Shō activated his String Dial, launching invisible string at the tree. He smiled as he saw the tree being bound by string. When the string finished its job, Shō activated his Heat Dial, and lit one end of a string. The flame slowly followed the thread, like how Shura's did, and made its way to the tree. When the flame made contact with the tree, it burst into flame. Shō smiled, the reflection of flame in his left yellow eye of his. He had successfully performed the technique. Shō watched as the tree burned.
4/5
When the tree had burned down completely, Shō turned to Shura, who was simply watching with crossed arms. Shō began to walk towards Shura slowly, waving as he did so. "Oi, what was the technique called?!" Shura grinned and walked over to his bird. Getting on, he looked to Shō. "Heat Dial Blast." The bird began to flap its wings. "I have nothing more to teach you. Farewell." Shura grinned. Shō waved and smiled. "Arigato!" Shura looked down once more before flying away on his bird. "He was a good guy." Shō smiled to himself and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Where should I go next?" He looked around and remembered that he had not really explored Upper Yard yet. So Shō decided to do that. He began to walk around aimlessly.

Shō was still walking around aimlessly, all of a sudden Gedastu landed as soon as he was close enough, and walked the rest of the way towards Shō. Meanwhile, Shō was still a bit shaky. "Where the hell am I!?" He kept moving around, and he wasn't too stable, though he got the hang of it soon enough. He looked ahead and tried to get his bearings, seeing Gedatsu. "Oi, I think I remember you!" Shō pointed to him, though it didn't really serve any purpose. Shō chuckled and then smiled. "My name is Shō Kanō-Suru!" He gestured to Gedatsu, introducing himself. Gedatsu frowned a bit as he looked at Shō. "Anyway, nice to meet you, Shō." He grinned a bit. "Now, please leave Upper Yard." He pointed in some direction. Shō frowned. "I'm not leaving just yet."
(Jet Strike)
1/6
"I don't know. I just don't feel like leaving Upper Yard yet. I still want to explore it some more." Shō chuckled a bit, noticing the tension between Gedatsu and himself. He chuckled nervously, then placed his hands behind his head. He simply listened to Gedatsu. Something about a god of the skies. Enel. "Wasn't that the guy the one that was defeated by Monkey D. Luffy? Shō pondered about that for a moment, still listening to everything that they were saying. Shō didn't really know exactly how long they would be staying in Skypiea. Though he knew it wouldn't be too long from now. They would probably leave soon enough. Shō smiled, for no apparent reason. "Time for me to end this with my jet strike using a Jet dial."
2/6
"Jet Strike? Jet Dial?" Shō was a bit confused. Then, he remembered that he had bought a Jet Dial. Shō brought it out and looked at it. It already sounded powerful. Shō grinned and looked at Gedatsu. "Heh. Are you going to hit me with that? I'll send you six feet under, baaaka!~" He smiled a bit mockingly. Shō didn't really think that he had to take Gedatsu to seriously. He seemed like an okay kind of guy. Shō crossed his arms and waited for Gedatsu to do something. There wasn't much around to look at. Rubble and a few trees. Shō sighed. There wasn't much of a sight in Upper Yard. That's what he started to think. But he knew that the rest of Skypiea was beautiful. "Jet Strike!" Getatsu threw a fast punch at Shō.
3/6
Shō was a bit too slow to react, as he was sent darting backwards. He crashed into a pile of rubble. Slowly, he got up. Shō smirked at Gedatsu. "Well, that wasn't very nice." He began to dust off his clothes. The attack did not hurt him as much as it could have though the sheer force was enough to send him flying backwards. And now, here he was. A few feet away from Gedatsu. As soon as he had gotten all of the dust off of his clothes, Shō grinned and began to make his way back to him. He shrugged off what Gedatsu had just done, and decided to ignore it this time. Shō a bit of a patient person, and he didn't mind waiting for Gedatsu to lighten up.
4/6
This time, as well, Shō was not ready for an attack. He thought that Gedatsu would lighten up by now, but he guessed that he was wrong. As soon as Gedatsu's fist made contact with Shō, it sent his body flying backwards, back into that same pile of rubble. A few seconds passed, and Shō got up. He shook his head and began to dust himself off again. "Oi! Stop hitting me!" He stuck his tongue out at Gedatsu and began to walk towards them. This time though, Shō would be ready for anything, just in case. His flexible and nimble body made it easy for him to avoid the man, which had little effect on him. Shō grinned as he walked, and soon made it to Gedatsu.
5/6
Shō grinned and dashed towards Gedatsu. He slipped on his own Jet Dial and lowered his body closer to the ground, chuckling. "I'm going to become the greatest shooter this world has!" With that said, Shō performed the Jet Strike technique and punched Gedatsu in the chin, which would propel him upwards. Shō straighten himself out. "That's what you get for hitting me twice." He chuckled a bit, and watched Gedatsu hit the floor. Gedatsu managed to get up, though he simply looked at Shō. Shō looked back and smiled. It was about time to head to a different location, slowly making his way out of the huge forest he ran towards the next location.

Takehiko Naoki didn't feel like leaving his boat laying on the sea of cloud, thus he opened a door and sailed through it, opening up the other side on the outskirts of Upper Yard. He left his ship in the door dimension and then stepped out into the jungles of Upper Yard, he was amazed at how extra large everything was. Each tree looked as though it would take days to scale and years to scale the whole forest, of course that was ridiculous to think of. Naoki began his exploration by heading straight into the centre of the forest, but as he neared its centre, he found that he was not alone.
1/3 - Guerilla Warfare.
The man who was following Naoki was not at all like the White Beret Captain named McKinley, this was a completely different beast. Naoki couldn't let this man know that Naoki was onto him, so he continued to walk, keeping his eyes and ears open for anything whatsoever. He couldn't be too sure what he would run into in this jungle. Suddenly he saw a flash of brown and yellow streak past to the right of him, he wouldn't have noticed it if not for the yellow due to the camouflage like colours he wore blended in perfectly to the trees. It was an awful time not to have any real weapons.
2/3
Naoki's senses were sharp, they were keen. He wasn't going to let himself get attacked by some random animalistic man, those days were over. He pulled out two of his mini-bombs carefully and held them in his hand, he waited to see the yellow flash once again. There! The yellow flash soared past him to his left, Naoki spun around and threw the bombs forward into what would be the man's path. The result was a large explosion that shook the tree's and caused a large number of leaves and branches to fall, the trees were old and hadn't been touched in decades.
3/3 - Complete.

As the masses of leaves fell down from the trees, Naoki saw the random flashes of yellow run past him, it appeared that this man or who Naoki at least presumed was a man wasn't too happy with what Naoki had just done with the mini-bombs thus he was circling the young Navigator. Naoki went to grab his claws only to realise he had sold them back in the East Blue, he kicked himself for such a stupid thing to do just before leaving for an uncharted place such as Skypiea. He couldn't throw any more bombs, who knew what else he might attract or destroy. All Naoki could do was stand and wait for whatever was circling him to make himself known.
1/7 - Warriors Will.
Before Naoki could even blink he suddenly saw the yellow flash stop and change directions. Naoki put up a defensive stance of Aikido, then by the time he had blinked again, the man was right up against Naoki, he hadn't attacked but Naoki felt the man's hands gripping hard onto his shoulders. "What are you doing here? Get out! Did the goats send you?" he asked through his yellow mask. Before Naoki could even answer, the man pushed Naoki backwards and sped off. Naoki thought that it was the end until he saw a large beam of light flying towards him.
2/7
Naoki didn't have time to wonder how this mass of burning light had come to be, he just jumped out of the way. Soft Stepping his way onto one of the middle branches in the trees. He wiped his forehead of any sweat that had amassed, it had either appeared from the burning light's heat or the fact he still wasn't in tune with the Skypiean atmosphere. Naoki was about to rest in the tree hoping that the man in the yellow mask had thought Naoki was defeated, however that was an idiotic idea on Naoki's part; of course he didn't think that, that would have been too lucky for Naoki.
3/7
He only managed to regain some of his composure and recover from jumping away from the first heat filled attack when the next beam of firey light was shot at him. "Oh bugger" Naoki sighed out, jumping off from the branch and into the air he realised how foolish he had been as he saw another firey beam of light being shot towards his trajectory. Naoki spun around in the air to face the ground and pushed his hands out and created a door, falling through it and into his door realm. So he carried on falling down and avoiding the attack, he opened up the exit door right above the yellow masked man.
4/7
As Naoki fell down onto the man, he delivered the same first attack that he did as he performed on Hisao Miyamoto on the Baratie; appearing above someone and dropping a megaton kick onto their head. It worked out perfectly, however as Naoki fell he found that the man had already seen him, thus looking up meaning Naoki's foot connected straight into his face. The mask was shattered under the force of Naoki's kick and the man was forced to his knees. Naoki hopped backwards a few steps to see what would happen next, hoping he had knocked some sense into this once yellow masked man.
5/7
As the man stood up, his back was facing Naoki so he wasn't able to lay his eyes upon the man's face. All he heard was that of a small clicking sound, Naoki didn't take any notice of this and continued to watch closely to see how the man reacted. It was badly, he spun around with his bazooka in hand and pulled the trigger, this was what had been firing the beams of fire at Naoki. His eyes widened as he realised what it was and jumped forward towards the bazooka and hopped up into the air over the man and landed behind him, just as the beam set off.
6/7
The man in the yellow mask was amazed to see Naoki dodge it, he obviously didn't think that as a Gravity Blue Rider Naoki would be that quick in the air. Before he had a chance to spin around and fire his bazooka again at a ridiculously short range that it would end up hurting him aswell, Naoki delivered a Hundred Brick Fist to the mans stomach causing him to buckle and drop the bazooka. It was still hot, so as Naoki kicked it away into another dimension. "Ever so sorry, couldn't take the chance and wait for you to shoot me again. Whats your problem?" Naoki asked, scratching the back of his head as ever.

Wiper looked up at Naoki, holding his stomach. "My problem? I have not ever seen you around the village, the towns people would never venture here for fear of death which means that you must be one of the goat priests! You aren't folling me o' horned one!" Wiper said, pointing up at Naoki from his spot on the ground. Naoki pointed at himself and whispered to Wiper "Not sure if you have noticed or not but, I don't have any horns" Naoki said, pointing to his head and moving his hand through his hair. Wiper looked Naoki's head over and moved back shocked.
1/4 - Sixth Sense.
"Yeah I know. Crazy huh?" Naoki said, laughing to himself. Wiper looked down at his feet and got up. "I am sorry traveller. I hope you accept my sincerest apologies. My name is Wiper of the Shandian Tribe" he said, introducing himself and shaking hands with Naoki. "Ah thats fine Wiper. I'm sorry to have thrown your bazooka into another dimension, my name is Takehiko Naoki. "Say, you wouldn't know any interesting techniques would you? Mantra or things?" Naoki asked, curious as to whether or not he could expand on his mantra knowledge.
2/4
Wiper thought about it for a moment then remembered who knew about mantra. "There is a young girl named Aisa in our village who has a vast knowledge of mantra. I'm sure she would teaach you something about it. I'll take you to our village, it is the least I can do for nearly killing you" Wiper said, beginning to walk away towards the other side of the forest. Naoki nodded and began to follow him, it was true that Wiper had nearly killed Naoki a fair few times with that bazooka of his, so he owed Naoki one. He decided that before he left Wiper he would give him back his bazooka from the door realm, until then Wiper would recieve nothing.
3/4
Sure enough, Wiper seemed to be a good man but Naoki didn't like the idea of giving back someones weapon who had attempted to kill him not but five minutes prior. The prospect of learning another mantra technique sounded amazing to Naoki who had loved learning about it with Conis but the more he thought about it the more he started to wonder what else the power of mantra could possibly possess. It made Naoki shiver with fright at what he could achieve. It wasn't all that long until Wiper and Naoki arrived in the Shandian Tribe village, home to Naoki's next teacher.
4/4 - Complete.

The village itself looked quite primitive in appearence, but it didn't bother Naoki in the slightest. Wiper beckoned that Naoki follow him into a tent, but as he went in Naoki opened up a door and pulled Wiper's bazooka out of the dimension and left it by the door. When they entered the tent, Naoki saw a young girl sitting down reading a book. "Aisa-chan, this man is a Gravity Blue Rider named Takehiko Naoki. I told him that you would teach him about his mantra as a favour" he said, then with a nod left the tent, a faint laugh was heard as naoki heard him pick up his bazooka.
1/6 - Mental Block.
Naoki waited for a few moments after sitting down, then Aisa spoke for the first time to him. "You want to learn more about your mantra? Well there is a technique called Mental Block, if you know most of your opponents moves because you know them aswell. You can erase them from thier memory for that battle, fancy learning that?" she said, it was weird that she was so young yet sounded mature for her age. Naoki himself was awestruck, the more techniques he knew the weaker his opponent would become, mantra was truly an amazing technique. "Of course I would, I love mantra" he said with a broad grin. Aisa stood up and led Takaho outside and behind the tent. "Now then, lets get started aye?" Aisa said.
2/6
"Aye, I'll agree there. What do I do to make this technique work?" Takaho asked, eager to learn the technique. "Well, you have to concentrate your mantra on your opponent, which I take it you know how to yes? You have to concetrate immensly however. If you break your concentration it could backfire and then you'll have battle amnesia for awhile....not what we need or want" Aisa replied. She pointed to a nearby group of young Shandian's who were using his Axe Dials to cut wood. "See the one with long brown hair? He'll forget how to use it in a moment" Aisa said focusing hard on the boy Takaho heard a small crackle and saw the boy looking confused as to what his Axe Dial was and how he could use it.
3/6
The premise of the technique sounded much like that of Conis' technique Weapons Amnesia, but Naoki was sure it was different. Naoki was shocked, it was true. She more or less gave someone amnesia. However after a short while he regained his knowledge, although looking slightly confused by the whole event he got on with his wood cutting with the rest of his group. "You'd see its true potential in battle but I'm sure you'll find out soon enough, now you try" Aisa said, Naoki focused on the brown haired boy again, but before the crackle occured, Aisa pushed kicked him in the back of the knee. "Not that kid, we don't want to give him permenant amneisa do we? Dumbass" she ordered. Naoki didn't feel right about by being pushed around by a kid herself but he had no choice, he wanted to learn about mantra.
4/6
Naoki pointed at another wood cutter. Aisa looked over and nodded in agreement. He took a deep breath and went into a deep one sided staring contest against the wood cutter. As this was his first time doing so, it was alot harder than Aisa made out it to be. Sweat started to form across his forehead as his mantra forced its way through the boys mind. Eventually Naoki heard the familiar crackle he had heard when Aisa performed Mental Block on a different boy. Naoki was forced out of the boys mind and when he found himself back behind the tent, with the boy looking confused, Naoki had done it.
5/6
"Yata! I did it!" Naoki cheered as the boy looked at his Axe Dial, wondering how it worked, now both boys looked confused. Aisa nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah well I think you've done well...now thats all I can teach you about Mantra. Enjoy it Mr Naoki" Aisa said. Naoki bowed to her and began walking backwards he waved goodbye "I'll come back soon Miss Aisa to learn more of your Shandian ways" Naoki said as he walked back towards Upper Yard, he wasn't sure of what ways he could learn that they had left, but he was just being nice about it in truth.
6/6 - Complete

Naoki soon entered the ruined part of Upper Yard and found himself close to a road of milky cloud. Stepping close to the edge he dipped his foot in to see if it was stable, which it wasn't. Naoki's foot plunged straight in, he pulled it out and shook off some cloud that had stuck to his foot. Deciding that wasn't the right way to go, Naoki decided jumping across tree's like a ninja was more appropriate, he continued to run across the trees randomly for some time, that was until he found himself at a large field covered in floating orbs. It was quite a sight to behold for anyones eyes.
1/5 - Impact.
Naoki was amazed, he wondered if it was some kind of Orb Dock's or something to that description. He jumped on over to one and poked it with the end of his finger, on contact it exploded and sent Naoki flying backwards, he immediatly attempted to catch a branch, failing to do so he created a door, fell through it and landed within reach of the branch. Catching it, Naoki swung round and onto the top. He didn't know what other suprises were in store, ecspecially not a short long haired fat man in a hat, riding an orb. "You there! Did you plant these orbs here?"
2/5
The man who was sitting down on his orb smiled and started laughing. "Ho ho ho ho ho! You fell into my trap! Ho ho ho ho ho!" his distinct laugh sent shivers up Naoki's spine. "Stop laughing it scares the bejeezus out of me!" Naoki shouted, his eyes closed with his face screwed up in pain, forcing his hand out forward waving him to stop. Satori stopped and frowned. "You pay for insolence! My laugh is sound of angel!" Naoki stared at him in horror. Now angry, Satori created more orbs, sent flying towards the navigator Naoki.
3/5
"More explosive orbs eh? You won't catch me out this time!" Naoki said, taking out from his coat pocket a handul of mini bombs. Throwing them at the orbs he was amazed to see he cancelled out the explosions, then as the smoke was clearing he saw he was a chain reaction of exploding orbs. Satori had seen this coming and elevated himself high into the trees were orbs were scarce. To make Naoki's matter worse, not only did these have explosions, but some had random swords and daggers flying out from all directions. Naoki began to run and created a door to hide in, when he thought the worst was over he jumped back out onto a branch. "How did you do that?" Naoki shouted out to the heavens. Satori floated down and said "My secrets you shall not take ho ho ho ho!" Satori said in his awful voice.
4/5
His awful voice made Naoki's hairs stand on end, such a shrill voice from such a rotund man. "Yes well, your voice annoys me! Thus I shall leave you behind now! I hope never to meet you again!" Naoki shouted out, creating a door, he stepped in and closed it behind him, opening up the exit door on the outskirts of the Upper Yard, finding his boat in the dimension where he left it, pushing his boat through another door which would then open up into the white sea. Naoki had had quite enough of Skypiea, so he decided to leave.

Shinnosuke came walking into a forest like area, the tree's around here were extremely large. Their were even roads of clouds that went higher into the forest and deeper. This skypiea place was becoming more and more intresting every step he took forward, he squeeled in excitment kicking his feet together when his feet were off the ground. Once his feet landed back on the grond he begun to run into the forest, he was curious what was waiting for him, it was like an entirely new adventure for him to embrace.
(Sixth Sense)
1/4
The young man continued to rush through the jungle as he then was stopped by snake, a rather large snake that seemed to be sleeping. This snake belonged to a legendary warrior that was pretty famous amongst the village people and tribes people as well. Shinnosuke didn't really see any reason to bother the snake seeing how it could probably eat him with one bite, he slowly tiptoed away from the snake running in another direction now. Skypiea was much different then the North, East, South, or even West Blue. There weren't any pirates around and all the natives were completely dumbfounded by Shinnosuke's appearance, he wasn't that weird looking right?
2/4
All of a sudden Shinnosuke stopped, his eyes narrowed as a serious grim look came across his face. He was being followed he could feel it, he waited till the perpatrator came out to play, suddenly a spear was launched directly from above the young man at Shinnosuke. The young man did a last second roll getting his shoulder pierced by the spear, Shinnosuke didn't even wince from the pain he wasn't going to be taken down by such a useless weapon like spear, he could of even dodged the spear but he wanted it to it least scrap his shoulder so the opponent could feel as if they really had a chance against him. Snickering a little his snicker quickly turned into a loud laugh that eckoed throughout the jungle.
3/4
The opponent still didn't come out, he remembered there was a technique that Gan Fall was talking about. A technique that a young girl in the Shandian Tribe knew, her name was Aisu. Slowly smirking he closed his eyes an begun to concentrate. The user can dodge one attack completely, using a temporary heightened sense. This technique can dodge most techniques, though not all. This technique can only be used 2 times a day. Suddenly another spear came right above his head, his eyes slowly opened, with only one step to the side he managed to side step out of the way of the spear. "Show yourself, I'm not the type that enjoys playing childish games, you scared to come out!??"
4/4

Aisa giggled a bit. "Oh, I have one more thing to teach you. It's another useful technique, that I use often. But it doesn't always work." She laughed a bit nervously. "It's because I don't fight much, and I don't know a lot of attacks." Shinnosuke was confused. "What's the technique called?" Aisa smiled. "It's called Mental Block. It lets you temporarily erase an opponent's mind for a while, which prevents the opponent from using techniques known by the user. And that's why the technique doesn't always work for me." Shinnosuke understood, and nodded. He thought about the technique for a minute. "How would I use it?" Aisa giggled. "I'm not really sure myself. It has to do with the chemicals in the brain, but I'll just tell you how I do it." Shinnosuke nodded and waited for an explanation.
(Mental Block)
1/6
"Basically, I just look into the opponent's eyes. I can tell what kind of techniques they know from their looks, personality, and things like that. And then, I blink, and then they forget all of the techniques that I know. It's fun sometimes. I used to do it a lot to my friends, but not so much anymore." Shinnosuke laughed. He looked at Aisa a bit and wondered how she could have come up with these techniques. "Sounds interesting." He chuckled. "Oh, it is. And really fun." She giggled a bit. "Okay, should we try it out?" Aisa asked this, in a slightly hushed tone. She looked kind of embarrassed for asking, though Shinnosuke simply laughed. "Ah, sure." Aisa giggled with ease. "First, you need to teach me a technique. Because I probably don't know anything you do."
2/6
Shinnosuke nodded. "Sure. That'll be easy." He thought about a technique that he could teach Aisa. He knew it couldn't involve his Cursed Fruit powers, and he probably wouldn't want to teach her something concerning a weapon. Shinnosuke thought about a fairly easy technique to teach her. Finally, he came to a conclusion. "Okay, I'll teach you the Sunlight Punch technique. It's really easy, and I learned it, just a while ago." Aisa smiled. "It sounds pretty easy. Sure, teach me that!" She giggled a bit, and Shinnosuke chuckled. "Alright, basically, it's a very speedy uppercut punch. Like this." Shinnosuke performed the Sunlight Punch technique, not targeting anything. Aisa watched in slight amazement. "That was cool!" Shinnosuke laughed.
3/6
"I know! That's what I said when I first learned it!" Shinnosuke chuckled, though he had forgotten if he actually said those words. It was only a while ago, but Shinnosuke didn't really remember what he said. Aisa giggled. "Like this?" She attempted the Sunlight Punch technique. Shinnosuke chuckled. "Yeah, that's basically it. But try to do it a little faster this time." Shinnosuke nodded, agreeing with himself. Aisa just smiled and giggled a bit. She performed the Sunlight Punch once again. "That was perfect." Shinnosuke nodded. Aisa jumped up and down and giggled. "Yay! I learn the technique!" This was pretty amusing to Shinnosuke. It made her so happy to learn a simple technique.
4/6
Aisa calmed down. "Okay, now I think you should try that Mental Block technique on me now." Shinnosuke nodded. "Sure." He looked into Aisa's eyes. Already, he knew that she knew how to perform the Sunlight Punch technique. Of course, Shinnosuke had just taught it to her. He then blinked, and Aisa looked as if she had just woken up from a dream. "Woah." Shinnosuke smiled and crouched down. "Okay, Aisa, Perform the Sunlight Punch technique on me. Right here." He pointed to his cheek and and turned it to Aisa. He braced himself a bit for an impact. Though he knew that the punch wouldn't really be that hard. "The what? Sunlight Punch?" Obviously, Mental Block had worked. Aisa had forgotten completely how to use Sunlight Punch. She didn't even know what it was.
5/6
Shinnosuke laughed, performing the technique successfully. Aisa shook her head. Her memory came back. "Woah. Hey!" She looked to Shinnosuke and performed the Sunlight Punch on his cheek. Shinnosuke was a bit surprised that Aisa had actually hit him. He fell backwards and simply laughed. "Oh, sorry." Aisa giggled. Shinnosuke laughed. "It's alright. Haha." Shinnosuke rubbed his cheek a bit, then got up. He shook Aisa's hand, though he didn't know why. "Arigato, Aisa." She simply smiled and giggled. Shinnosuke nodded and looked around. "Well, I better get going. I want to explore the place a bit more." Aisa nodded. "Well, goodbye." She smiled and walked away. "She's a good kid." Shinnosuke chuckled to himself and shoved his hands into his pockets. Skypiea was just getting better and better.

Slowly walking through the jungle Shinnosuke then stopped suddenly feeling the presence of yet another worrier around him. This time the murderous intent was much greater than the girl he met before, this must of been someone much stronger. His eyes narrowed becoming serious as he begun looking around a bit frantically, all of a sudden his eyes widened. He quickly looked above him and there was a cannonball heading straight towards him ready to take him down. Shinnosuke rushed forward with his speed barely avoiding the explosion that occured just behind him. Landing on the side of a tree he jumped upwards spiraling his body into a sumersault so he could land higher onto a tree branch of another tree.
(Guerrilla Warfare)
1/3
Shinnosuke looked forward spotting the man that had a large bazooka held up by his right shoulder, it was a Burn Bazooka to be exact. "Oi! You lookin for a fight b*****d!?!? Why the hell did you just try to kill me!" Shinnosuke shouted towards the man while stomping and pointing at the man, the man was yet another tribe member from skypiea, but he was the head honcho. It was Wiper, he slowly begun pointing his Bazooka towards the young man. Shinnosuke's eyes widened, he begun to run away passing by in the tree's with very nice speed, he continued to jump tree from tree trying to avoid fighting this man, it seemed he was pretty strong but he didn't want to act cowardly and leave, he'd have to lure this man somewhere else.
2/3
Shinnosuke smirked then looked behind him, Wiper wasn't there anymore. It was a shame Shinnosuke wasn't usually this naive, as soon as he looked forward he was elbowed in the face by wiper that was now in front of him. Spiraling downwards before he could touch the ground he kicked the side of the tree spiraling just a bove the ground till he landed on the side of a boulder, bending his knee's and sinking his head low he then leaped upwards high into the air above the tree's. "Okay you've done it now! No more running I'm going to show you exactly what it means to be a Pirate!" Shinnosuke grit his teeth becoming more pissed by the second how dare this man attack him without any restrait, Shinnosuke didn't even know who the hell he was.
3/3

Though as he came really close out of nowhere, erupting out of the leaves was a large man with many tribal markings upon his body and a Mohawk of sorts. Though the scariest part about him was the fact that grasped in his arms was a very, very, large bazooka of sorts and it looked as if it was charging up a blast or something. "STAY OUT OF UPPER YARD OUTSIDER!" The man said as the bazooka then erupted a mountain of fire and began burning away at the floor. Luckily Shinnosuke was quick enough to hop out of the range of the blast.
(Warriors Will)
1/7
Shinnosuke stood there waiting to avoid the next attack yelling out "Hey, yeah, it's nice to meet you too! The name's Shinnosuke by the way!" Though the man would have nothing to this answer and no sooner then when he had finished speaking fired off yet another blast from the large Bazooka. Shinnosuke also managed to avoid this one. "I am Wiper! Protector of this land and I will not have you soiling it as the priests have done. So I suggest you leave as soon as possible before I am forced to end your life."
2/7
Shinnosuke smiled and then gave off a chuckle saying "You are on cocky son of a b***h if you think that you can end me!" Wiper seemed to find this comment slightly offensive and got angry. He took the bazooka and fired off yet another shot from it at Shinnosuke, though this time Shinnosuke didn't move and let the explosive power of the bazooka wash over him. Wiper simply glared his eyes saying "Pathetic Blue Sea Dweller, you know nothing of our ways and because of that it was truly your ignorance that ended you." It was a shame though, Wiper was truly underestimating this young man, even though he might of not been as experianced as Wiper he had a nack for getting angry. He wasn't about to let some man kill him before he could even figure out how to work this Devil Fruit he ate.
3/7
Though to Wiper's surprise Shinnosuke stood there where he had been, totally unaffected by the explosion. He wiped a bit of ash away from his face and then said "You are the only fool here. To go into battle without knowing what your enemy is capable of is truely an amatuer mistake." With that Shinnosuke stealth walked ahead and then yelled out "DYNAMIC PUNCH" and with that sent a fist directly into Wiper's side which upon contact exploded sending Wiper flying in the opposite direction and also making him drop his weapon. Shinnosuke's assult was brutal, Wiper was begginning to realize he couldn't take this young man lightly, he had such fighting spirit it was similar to that other pirate he met before.
4/7
Wiper slid against the ground and blood began dripping from his lips. The explosion had not treated him very well but he stood up anyway. Shinnosuke then mock applauded him and said "You know Wiper...not many people can take a punch like that and then stand up afterwards. Tell me, do you happen to have a Devil's Fruit of any kind?" Wiper simply chuckled and then said "No, all I have is the Will of a Warrior on my side, and that's all I need." Shinnosuke tilted his head to the side as he was slightly confused but she didn't question his way, it was intresting and was slowly starting to make sense to him.
5/7
What happened next surprised him more then anything so far. He went at a full on run at Shinnosuke and she was shocked. The fact that he was able to run after taking so much damage really said something about him as a fighter. Shinnosuke side stepped away using a stealth walk and then said "That's amazing. Would you mind telling me how you did it? I promise you I came her not to cause harm to your land but simply to explore. I am a peace keeper back on the land where I come from. Please, just tell me how you do it." Of course Shinnosuke was lieing, hell he just wanted to learn a couple of techniques that would make him stronger and get the hell out of here he didn't like this place anymore.
6/7
Wiper stopped dead in his tracks as he listened to Shinnosuke in all of his wisdom. Wiper sighed lightly and then said "I suppose I did overreact. It's just that those priests have me on constant alert. I'm trying to drive them off of this land but they just don't want to leave. Though anyway, the Will of the Warrior is very simply, all you have to do is truly believe in the fact that you are a warrior and you will then be able to ignore all kinds of wounds, at least for a little. It makes you a real animal in combat at least.
7/7
