...

"Hmph, leaving me behind again!" Tashigi pouted playfully, sticking out her tongue and blinking with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

But the thought that she had contributed by holding back their enemies, providing a different kind of support and proving her worth, filled her with a quiet joy.

Ian had lost track of how many layers of sky they had traversed, only sensing the increasing proximity to the sun.

The temperature soared, the intense sunlight making it difficult to keep his eyes open as his awareness expanded.

One thousand meters? Three thousand? Or perhaps ten thousand?

He spotted Gedatsu, one of the four priests, below them. Gedatsu presided over the Ordeal of Swamp, with a 50% survival rate, embodying the emotion of "joy" among the four priests, while Ohm and Satori represented "sadness" and "anger," respectively.

Gedatsu, with his spider-like hairstyle, was a master of the Breath Dial and Swamp Cloud. He wielded Impact Dials attached to his shoes and elbows, granting him aerial mobility, enhanced punching speed, and increased striking power.

His Swamp Cloud blanketed his domain, trapping those who wandered into it like quicksand, slowly sinking them into its depths. Escape was impossible without external assistance.

During the Skypiea arc, he had engaged Chopper in a fierce battle, ultimately falling victim to the reindeer's devastating "Kokutei Roseo" attack. He had plummeted into his own Swamp Cloud, his Impact Dials only accelerating his descent due to his inverted position.

He had eventually landed in the Blue Sea, where he encountered Goro, and together they dug hot springs and built a bathhouse, with Gedatsu assuming the role of manager.

His departure, coupled with the return of Gan Fall, the former God of Skypiea, had shifted the tide of the battle, restoring a precarious balance. Fortunately, the apparent leader of this invasion had left.

"While you may be a demon, challenging Enel, the God of Skypiea, is nothing short of suicide!"

Ian contemplated his next move, seeking to disrupt this newfound equilibrium. His thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of Wyper, a descendant of the Shandia warriors, his resolve mirroring Gan Fall's.

Wyper understood the consequences of failure, but he knew this was his only chance to resist Enel's tyrannical rule. They lacked the power to defeat the self-proclaimed God, but now, with Ian's unexpected arrival, a glimmer of hope had emerged.

If they succeeded, the best outcome would be Gan Fall reclaiming his rightful position as God of Skypiea. While they might not regain control of their sacred land, at least peaceful coexistence would be possible.

When Gan Fall rejoined the fray, Wyper followed without hesitation, his Reject Dial clashing against Gedatsu's Jet Punch.

Ian hadn't informed Wyper about Cricket's search for the Shandia's ancestral homeland. In the original story, after Luffy confirmed the existence of Skypiea by ringing the Golden Belfry, Cricket, alongside Masira and Shoujou, had embarked on their own journey to the sky island.

The descendants of two legendary warriors and a renowned liar, separated by four hundred years of history, had finally reunited, fulfilling their ancestors' dreams. Therefore, Ian saw no need to elaborate.
