The Black Blade Assassin

Soooo...We're Sacrificial Pirates?

So, apparently Saki and the crew entered Skypiea illegally and that old granny lied to them all by saying they could enter without repercussions. Why are sweet-looking grandmas always the culprit? Actually, Amazon didn't look sweet at all. She looked like a conniving and wrinkly hag.

Anyway, the 'White Berets' as they call themselves, were complaining and chewing Saki's ears off by saying, "Extol, extol, blah, blah, blah." She wasn't really paying attention to those weirdos. They were going on about Class 8 crimes and Class 6 crimes and so on. It didn't really make much sense, so Saki didn't bother remembering what they said. She just stared into space, zoning out.

She did eventually zone back in when Nami came speeding towards them on the waver.

But once again, things got boring. So, so boring. The White Berets drone on and on and on about death sentences and cloud drifting and 'that girl is who god wants to see' and then a fight broke out. All the while Saki either stared blankly at them as they tried to take her hostage (each time one of the Straw-Hats stopped them), or she mumbled to herself like a deranged person. It freaked the Skypieans out so much so that they were too distracted to even harm a hair on any of the Straw-Hats.

Speaking of the crew, they were quite worried at Saki's state. She seemed vacant almost.

Once the Skypieans had been dealt with accordingly Chopper waddles up to Saki, concerned. "Saki? Are you okay?"

Saki finally snaps back to attention. "Ah, yeah. Sorry, they were just so boring. I couldn't help but zone out, y'know? Don't worry, Nyx paid attention and if I really needed to fight, she would've told me."

The Straw-Hats sweatdrop at her nonchalant attitude.

"Anyway! Did I hear that we're leaving Skypiea? By Cloud End?"

"You heard?" Nami questions curiously.

Saki laughs and adjusts her beanie. "Nope!"

"Ah," Nami deadpans and then continues, "Let's set sail, now!"

"Conis, Pagaya, thanks for everything!"

'What did they do, again?'

'They gave us food.'

'They did?!'

'Your lazy ass was sleeping.'

"Oh, yeah!" Luffy rushes back towards the old man as if remembering something. "Oi, gramps! Can we take the rest of the food you gave us earlier?"

"Yes, of course," Pagaya replies instantly.

"Sweet! Sanji, lunch box!"

"Nothing gets by him," Sanji muses, shrugging his shoulders as he follows his captain.

Usopp followed the two after discovering Pagaya had useful materials for repairing the ship.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" Nami snaps, hands resting on her hips.

"I'm gonna get some food! You guys, get the ship ready for an adventure!" Luffy calls back with an excited grin.

"He still wants to go!" the navigator huffs angrily.

"To the sacred land? The place that no one is allowed to go?" Saki asks with a tilt of her head.

Nami sighs, her hand dragging down her face. "That's the one."

"Ah, that sounds fun!" Saki chuckles, grasping her swords. "Like a fight."

"No!" Chopper scolds and kicks her in the head aggressively. "No fighting!"
