After Gan Fall, Dino, and Pierre left with Conis, Luffy and the others (minus Usopp) got on the crow.

Usopp: hop aboard, guys! I'll give you guys a good shove off!

Sanji: *annoyed* You're coming too!

Rimuru: It looks like we get to do the adventure what you wanted, Luffy

Luffy: alright, upper yard. Here we come

Usopp: NOOOOO!!!

Sanji dragged Usopp on board, and the crow began heading off to the upper yard through the river of clouds.

As Rimuru drove the Crow to their destination, th group saw a forest with colossal trees.

Usopp: g-guys, where did that huge forest come from?!

Rimuru: I saw that earlier when I was looking for Nami. That place is upper yard

Usopp brought out their map to double-check.

Usopp: im looking at the map again, but there isn't a warning about the trees being gigantic. This can not be right

Sanji: Who knows how old that map is? The forest could've been smaller a few hundred years ago when it was made

Usopp: That's true

Luffy: Rimuru, we gotta climb these trees! Shishishi!

Rimuru: Maybe in another sky island. We're already at the entrance

The three guys looked ahead and saw the entrance of the trials.

Sanji: Well, this is it, Usopp. If you want to chicken out, nows the time

Usopp: Well, since your offering--

Luffy/Rimuru: Too late!

Usopp: *angry* THEN WHY DID YOU ASKE ME?!!

As they passed through the entrance, Usopp began trembling upon seeing shipwrecks around them.

Usopp: wh-what do you guys think happened to those ships?

Rimuru: it looks like they're cut in half

Frightened by what Rimuru said, Usopp frantically looked around for danger when he heard a strange noise.

Usopp: *fllinch* d-did, did you guys hear that?

Sanji: probably just a sky animal

Luffy: Forests make lots of noises, so quit worrying

Usopp looked around and spotted a giant swinging blade headed towards them.

Usopp: INCOMING!!

Sanji: WHAT THE HELL!!?

Rimuru: SANJI, USOPP, START PADDLING!!

Usopp/Sanji: RIGHT!

Sanji and Usopp quickly grabbed the paddles and started rowing, narrowly evading the blade.
