.....
At no specific side of the island, there was the Corrupted Serpent docked in the suddy like ocean which had a mixture of lavender green, streaks of black and vibrant blue colour. Browsing over it from a bird eye point of view no visible individual could be seen on the cargo that lightly swayed in the whooshing sounds of the oceans waves.
Now looking on the island, many spectacular and eyes catching things were seen, there were mountains of different sizes that came in several shades of green. Brown was also seen with hits of yellow and to bring out its appearance and texture the light and darkness of the sky pitched at a different point.
There also parts which had landslides on them and on theee randomized areas, trees which were way longer then earth General Sherman. But just here on the incline levels, there were many on the ground level always which extended up hundreds of meters.
Not only was the trees huge but also the multi coloured birds which build there nest there. There sizes were about or above that of a hawk. Moving on, many kinds of flowers were there, which released a sweet incensed smell. Then at a spotted moment, a few warm welcoming sunflowers slowly blossomed 'hughing' the heat energy of the sun.
Not only this, it also released some tiny objects in the air, the pollens which used the air for transport brought the scene to an area where any bodies of water were. The huge sized ponds or rivers which had some ongoing waves showed myriads of wavy colour schemes. The sparkling water body also reflected the red earth that was near it, the rooted long trees, or the serene blur sky.
With all this colours, reflection and light pitches, a glassy impression was insinuated on the water surface that brought out its beauty. However, it became a mirage when a hummingbird tapped it's beak in it creating a wave ripple.
" Another tasteless fruit."
In a man made trail, there was a 6 point trail that should various huge dropped leaves that directly or indirectly the various red, brown or green foot grass prints. At several points on the different coloured grass their were many fruit such as red and yellow, two bunch grapes, triplets bananas, or 10 star pink fruit that only had one bite in them.
A figure who had on black cloak with both hands hidden under the sleeve and and chain dangling at the side of clothes said as he throw away the that the blue flower like fruit.'
" Base from the actions from the captain that flower fruit tree should be glanced over," Nixon stopped and looked all around him, then glanced over the blue flower tall trees before proceeding.
"This one has no taste either," Laffitte who flew meters above ground level flapped down with a black cuboid fruit with one bite that showed its inner grey region said as he landed softly on the well fertilized grass.
"Cough.....The one in my hand also...cough can be added to the pile," the tallest figure in the group Motoa coughed causing the burgundy oval fruit to fall out his hand.
"I must be really getting old." he shook his head when he saw this happening. Old age must catching up on him for this to 'mistakenly' happen.
"Is there really not any flavorous fruit on this island," Guzen who has just crushed a leaf like fruit said with one brow raised. From the time they set foot on the island and walked though the many things of nature, they have not found any fruit which had any appetizing taste. All of the fruits which looked succulent and and had a tasteful full appearance were all completely tasteless, just one bland flavour.
Even despite the now, it did not change or even get better. It was to at the point that even Enel had to blast some of charcoal object put of annoyance.
"Well, that can't be said, we still haven't even explored 1 percentage of the island," Joshua said as he through away red orange triangular prism fruit. That can't be stated for true because they have not really explored a qualitative region of the island. Probably if were a bird's eye view image, would one notice they are they just in a small area of the land mass that extended many miles out.
Therefore, this statement cannot be truly said, because of this, but on the other hand this may also be true as well. But who knows... for obviously it's not them.
"This doesn't to seem to taste bad," a person with an old cramped voice spoke catching not only Joshua who was about to continue walking but the others as well.
There they saw Motoa standing in front one of the few hundreds meter red trunk tree eating a white cross fruit.
Seeing such actions, no hand any movement but continued to to stand there and look on the individual.
"Motoa words should not be trusted."
Joshua black twist hair flustered lightly in the winds as he uttered these words. Everyone nodded in response, out of all who is present, Motoa is only one who really eat the bland fruits. How he did it without any discomfort, or change in his expression, no-one wants to know.
"Let me try another of ones these other earthly creation."
Enel flickered from he stood an came to one of the long, wavy green coloured branches and plucked on of the white cross fruit. He who had not a good countenance observed the fruit then look on Motoa.
"Old man, are you sure it had taste." The reason many of the trees changed to burned objects was because of Motoa judgement. Time and time he bite in these ungodly which caused him to roar in anger at Motoa bad taste in things. Because he did not think all were just insipid.
" Why would this old man lie."
"Cough...cough..I assure you on this one," Motoa answered in his usaul coughing tone.
Hearing this Enel wrinkled his brew then after a few wasted seconds he took a bite. But right after he chow down on it his face turned dark purple the he immediately spite it out.
"Old man are you trying to kill this god with this bitter fruit!"
Enel shouted as look on Motoa with few veins in his forehead. The fruit which just bite into was not tasteless this time but it far worse, it was completely bitter. The pungent taste of was not normal after all his face had a instant change in colour.
"The old man said it was not mild, I have never stated how it taste," Motoa said as he took his last bite then proceeded to walk.
"You.."
Enel pointed at Motoa with shaking hands, he couldn't retort what Motoa said.
"At least, you have let us we know all are not bland," Joshua who saw this said as he also walked off. The other also did this, they did not look on Enel, for something along this line was foreseeable.
---
They all continue to walk, passing the many trees nearby, noone even bother to try them even there was a percentage level that the will have palatable taste. However, they did top when something peculiar gave into view.
"This...this is something," Laffitte knocked the cane in tap rhythm tone as he takes in what is in his view.
"Something indeed," Joshua indifferently said with no sort of expression or action to let one know what they are looking on something to behold or along that line
There was a tree which at least five kilometers high lengthen right up into the serene sky. Its branches which had many green broad leaves made had everlasting mushroom that covered a wide region. On its brown coloured trunk that was wider than 4 trailer had branches dispersed at all direction and connected to the top pf many core giant trees.
As it were its offspring or clones in great multitude to develop rapidly under the photosynthesis system. It roots which were thicker than many gathered human were in a wide basin of water. Whether it be interlocked,, ran in a wavy pattern, twisted amongst each other, so the monstrous roots were in the body of water.
Not only were they in the water, they also elongated on the earth at many points wrapping around the trees, flowers, making their way into other small streams or even digging it way into the mountains. To top it off, its huge mutli-colour leaves which fell from time to time giving off a sacred impression.

" How can such a tree look so holy." Enel didn't like the undisguised aura the tree gave off," It was as its state was beyond transcendence and reached the level eternal sacredness, completely cannot be touched or even tainted by mortals hand. So something like this, obviously would did not fit well him who calls himself 'god.'
"It like its the mother of this land," Guzen who grinned far worse than a lunatic said as he gazes before him. `
"That about right," Joshua answered in agreement, Guzen words was not a understatement because this was the tallest and most eye catching thing on this land. For it seemed like, the 'eye' of the island, the creator of huge plot of land or the who gave birth it, as if it died, everything will die or wither in the blink of an eye.
"There are many golden fruit on it," Nixon said as he look were the were the intense rays yellow lights shone. There were really many fruit which had the sized of a truck wheel on it that twinkled repeatedly.
Even so, no one really wanted to test there luck especially Enel.
"Thats enough 'sight seeing'," Joshua said as he shifts his gaze.
"Why so, captain," Motoa asked as he angled himself to Joshua's position. The other also waited quietly for what he had to say also.
"We have incoming."
Incoming everyone except Enel eyes flashed with a little bit of light. The captain would never say something just like this, so they must have enemies approaching the island.
Nixon tapped his foot on the ground, then huge amounts of ice started to form, from ground level into the air. Then a short period after, a stair made of ice was formed leading right up to the top of one of the giant trees.
When he reached to the top he step on one of the extended branches took the telescope which was at his waist then put it over his right eye. He then looked around various areas until he he saw something, when he zoomed in, his eyes narrowed.
" Its the marine."
Nixon had some suppressed shock him, it was not because of the navy appearance. It was because the navy is still at least few dozen kilometers from here but the Joshua was able to induce them from so far. His observation haki must very advanced.
"The fleet is not simply," Nixon said slightly shrink eyes.
"Can't be," Guzen took the telescope from Nixon looked through the zoom lens. When he saw the amounts of ships and marine soldiers on it Guzen grinned widely.
"Its a whole Buster call,"
"Our threat must be quite high for them to send a buster call," Laffitte unknowingly appeared from few compact leaves, a tree apart from Nixon's said smiling. Whether he was worry free or gloomy inwardly could not be said from the plastic smile.
A buster call is normally summoned sent out for the most evil pirates from off society. There threat and danger is so high that they simply can't be allowed to go on roaming in these seas. So when ever they are sent out, what there aim is to completely wipe whatsoever of the entire.
"It not just the navy themselves, there is also a warlord," Joshua appeared on the middle giant said with a calm tone.
"Thats right," Motoa which gestured to Laffitte to throw the telescope for he was on the tree right of Joshua look to identify the individual. The ship had a long golden crocodile head, with a dark bluish purple smokestack and painted on the jolley roger was the word Baroque Works.
"Its Crocodile, one of the seven warlords ships."
"We have met upon warlord again, hahaha..." Guzen laughed as his eyes radiated a shrap ray of red. They not too long killed a warlord, which should have caused some commotion and now they about to be greeted another. What are the odds.
These mortals again," Enel appeared above the tree Laffitte was on with a slightly angered voice. These damn beings chasing he who is 'god' is getting on his nerves.
"Sigh, I won't be able use this island for a 'rest stop' Motoa sighed as he sat on the many branches which form a grid like seat. He who has realized this island had no form of habitats except the birds wanting to use this island and rest back a bit. But such thought had to be thrown into the back of head for enemies on their way.
There is no if and buts if the a fleet of navy and a warlord coming to the island is coincidental. It must be here specifically after for them with such a line up.
"It seems like I should find a intelligence officer," Joshua thought at heart. With the navy basically can judge any where he will be and where go he must find someone who can him be informed of what's happening all around them. So he can't be confined when they navy choose to act against him.
For the the navy was obviously preparing for them and will choose to strike as along as they are picked up on the radar.
So with that being said, not only was there a warlord, there were 10 ships which carried, 5 vice admirals, 10 rear admirals, near 10 000 of elites are now approaching the island with an repressed aura and the dignified banner of justice.
