28 Farewell!
Skypiea
As the bells rang, their echo could be heard throughout the island, and below. Many of the citizens in Skypiea were initially confused, but then rejoiced and shed tears when their old God told them of the battle that had been held in the Upper Yard.
"A-After 400 years of silence… The golden bell has finally rung!!"
Luffy and the others were the ones who rang the bell after searching for it for some time: fulfilling the promise.
At the bottom of the clouds, on the ground, a group of people could be seen looking up at the sky. The sky had a gigantic shadow that appeared to be jumping and holding a hat. A blond, well-built man smiled and said, "Mont Blanc Noland's reputation can finally be redeemed… Thank you, kid… I won't forget this."

On the blue sea, a medium-sized ship could be seen sailing away. On the ship, four masked people could be seen. One was driving the ship, two were watching over a tied-up Enel, and the last one was at the front of the ship, sitting down while looking up towards the sky, and listening to the bell continuing ringing.
The green-haired swordsman who was watching Enel sighed and knocked out Enel, then proceeded to walk towards the person at the front of the ship.
"What's wrong, Qaphsiel? Thinking about bad memories?" asked Malchediel.
Qaphsiel did not say anything and just remained silent, continuing to look towards the sky, until a few seconds passed. "Yeah."
Malchediel sighed and said, "Listen, Qaphsiel—"
Malchediel was cut off by Qaphsiel. "Drop the code name."
"Haaa~ Fine. Listen, they might think that you're a liar, but there are still people out there who believe you."
"It doesn't matter…" Qaphsiel stood up and walked towards the deck. "It's in the past."

After Gan Fall told the truth to the people of Skypiea, many of the residents went towards the Upper Yard, where they met a while Luffy eating with his crew.
"T-The heroes who saved us?!"
One of the Skypieans shouted, which alerted the masses. Usopp and Chopper were flustered, while Luffy looked at them then turned back to his food. The Skypian offered the Straw Hats a party, which made Luffy, who was already bloated, turn skinny again and start drooling. Nami, in response, hit him on the head, causing a small bump.
Gan Fall had invited the Shandorians to the party, which their chief accepted, as Skypieans and Shandorians were in the same boat when Enel had ruled over them, both being suppressed.
The party continued throughout the night, with cries of laughter, singing, and music both from people and instruments. These sounds were heard throughout the sky, even underneath the clouds where Mont Blanc Cricket and the Saruyama Alliance had their own party.

In the dawn of Skypiea, a monkey who wore a red shirt with a straw hat on, was sneaking around towards a sleeping woman while everyone else slept on the floor after partying all night.
"Hey! Pst! Nami! Wake up!" whispered Luffy.
Nami slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes while saying, "What is it, Luffy?"
"Go wake everyone up."
"But why?" asked Nami, her eyes still slightly open.
"Shh! Because we're gonna steal the gold!"
Nami's eyes, that were still sleepy, had now fully opened with berries signs on it.
"Gold?! Where?!" Yelled Nami
Luffy sweated and looked angry, his teeth sharpening as he yelled back, "Hey! Be a quiet loudmouth!"
Nami got angry and hit Luffy on the head. "Loudmouth, huh?! You're louder than me, Luffy!"
"No way! Just listen to yourself, you know what you are, Nami?! Loud!"
Nami grabbed his shirt and yelled, "What?! You've got some nerve, you hypocrite! You're super loud!"
"Oh yeah?! Well, you're super ultra mega loud, that's why you're yelling!"
The two continued to bicker while the rest of the people began to wake up because of them. Some people like Usopp woke up complaining, while others found it amusing and astonishing how the two could still have so much energy even after the party from last night.
After stealing some gold from the island, the plot continued as it did in canon, with the Straw Hats falling and being saved by an octopus. After landing, Sanji began to cook for the crew, as Luffy asked him to.
While eating, the Straw Hats began to talk about what they would do with the stolen gold. However, Zoro did not join them in the conversation because he did not need anything as he already had three swords and an extra one.
Zoro went towards the place where he usually trains and where his weights are. He took out one of his swords, Baal, and asked, "Baal?"
A figure came out behind him with a sinister smile. Zoro turned around and opposite to Baal's smile, Zoro had a frown on his face. Zoro once again looked at his sword and asked, "Why couldn't I remember anything? What happened to Enel?"
Baal's smile was dwindling every second and was later replaced with a frown. He sat down with his legs crossed while floating and said, "I took over."
"What did you do?"
"Nothing. I just destroyed some insects."
"Why couldn't I control my body?"
"Because you were passed out."
Zoro paused for a moment, then continued, "Is that really it?"
"Yes."
Zoro put Baal back in the scabbard and asked Baal to teach him Haki. Although Baal refused to teach him how to master armament, he agreed to teach him Observation Haki. Baal asked Zoro to borrow the book from Robin, which he complied with.
Zoro trained on mastering Observation Haki throughout the night, and when it was morning, Zoro spotted an island, though foggy. He informed the crew that he had spotted an island, which made Luffy and the others delighted. However, when Zoro went down the deck, he was met with laughter, as his head was full of bumps and blood.
