Throughout the following week all the crew woke up one by one, a few days after Laffitte woke up, Van Augur woke up, then Drust woke up, Dabi did not wake up because it had been a little more than 1 week since he was subjected to the forge of the 7 hells.
Katahara: Now everyone must recover and rest, Laffitte will soon have the information we need.
Drust: Captain I feel that now my vision is better, I also feel stronger than usual.
Katahara: That's because you awakened the Qi inside you, that's all you need to know for now, I will be training so during that time you should be at your best.
After saying that Katahara disappeared using soru, arriving at the other end of the island.
Now I have to train enough to master the next technique of the ten thousand shadows encounter and be able to use it together with the Haki.
After that Katahara took off his suit and hat and started practicing with his sword.
Katahara started swinging his sword harder and faster, he was practicing his sword technique.
Thus 20 days passed, in which Katahara's sword began to cast a shadow without Katahara imbuing energy into it.
It seems that now I can use the shadow blade passively as well as the Sharingan, it's time to start putting everything into practice, Katahara thought.
At that moment 2 clones appeared, which began to make seals with their hands, throwing dragon, and a chidori spear from two different directions.
Katahara took out his sword which began to emit a shadow around it, this technique was the Shadow Blade, and then rushed against the water dragon splitting it in two with his blade, and then dodged an electric spear that was directed at him from his back, being blocked sending it in the direction of the sky, and then launched into the air and kicked the electric spear in the same direction it was sent.
While that happened the two clones rushed against Katahara, when the two arrived in front of Katahara launched blows from two different directions, being blocked by the sword and the left arm of this, and then one of them had been cut in half without realizing it by Katahara, which then launched a roundhouse kick at full power sending the other clone to fly.
Katahara stopped fighting because he realized that his little fight attracted a person he did not expect.
Then he leaned on a giant stone and began to clean his sword.
It began to emit more vibrations every week as if something wanted to come out which worried him a little, but knowing that it was the first demon-killing sword, he assumed that this was how it behaved when cursed.
Moments later a muscular middle aged man with blond hair appeared, he has a large chestnut on his head he also had dark purple sweatpants with a white stripe along each leg and a rope around his waist.
So this is Mont Blanc Cricket who is obsessed with Skypiea, Katahara thought.
Cricket: Hey! You're the one destroying this part of the island.
Katahara didn't answer, he just kept cleaning his sword.
Cricket: I'm talking to you, answer me.
Katahara: I heard you the first time.
Cricket: Whatever you did, it destroyed part of my shelter.
Katahara: I'm sorry my friend, I used excessive force.
After saying that Katahara stood up, sheathed his sword and prepared to leave.
Cricket: You won't make amends for what you did, you'll just leave.
Katahara didn't answer anything just disappeared leaving Cricket talking to himself.
Katahara appeared at the hotel where his crew was staying, when he arrived he observed everyone eating while chatting, Katahara did not interrupt them and went to his room and rested until the next day.
Early the next morning, someone knocked on her door several times.
Katahara: Come in.
At that moment Laffitte entered, bowing.
Katahara: Laffitte... you found the information I asked for.
Laffitte: That's right captain, the Knock Up Stream will occur in 2 days, 1 kilometer from here, in an easterly direction.
Katahara: Well that's what we need, tell me how you feel after waking up.
Laffitte: Different and at the same time the same.
Katahara: Do you think your magic changed when you woke up?
Laffitte: It became more effective and much easier to use.
Katahara: I will give you a gift when we get to the Skypiea... that place will be the beginning of my whole plan, you are one of the people who will be important in this plan... go and rest, we will leave tomorrow before dawn.
Laffitte smiled darkly at his captain's confidence in him, bowing as he left the room.
I have to secure the entire population of Angel Island if not also all the Shandians, no matter what I have to do I need all of Skypiea, I will also send to explore all those old ships that are stranded, who knows maybe I will find unexpected things.
The next day everyone was waiting at the door of the hotel before dawn, waiting for their captain.
Katahara: Now that everyone is in good shape, we should head out to sea, for the Knock Up Stream.
After that everyone followed Katahara in the direction of the shore away from the docks where he took the boat out of its ring.
Katahara: Now we must add some temporary wings to the boat so we can do it right and not die in the process.
After saying that everyone started to make a pair of wings for the boat, by nightfall everyone had the pair of wings already on the boat.
Laffitte: Captain, these wings are enough.
Van Augur: I suppose they will be useful for gliding when we are in the sky.
After chatting for a while, they all boarded the ship and set sail.
After spending a few hours at sea, Katahara lit a cigarette, while watching the immense sea.
Drust: Captain.
Katahara: What happened Drust, did we reach the point?
Drust: Yes Captain Laffitte said that this is the exact point, we just have to wait until tomorrow.
Katahara: Rest Drust, tomorrow will be a long day.
Katahara went to the helm where he sat looking at the sky for hours, while everyone else was sleeping.
I already have an idea of what skills I can give everyone, I just need to find the perfect time for them to train a little, Skypiea will be the perfect place for everyone to focus on practicing, of course that will be after conquering the whole place, Katahara thought.
The next day everyone was preparing for the Knock Up Stream to occur.
Suddenly the sea began to churn.
Laffitte: It's coming! Everybody get ready!
The water started to become more turbulent, it began to rise and flood the deck a bit.
Soon everything calmed down and the water suddenly burst into a pillar that reached up to the clouds, and the current began to carry the whole ship through the air.
Drust: It worked! It's really taking us up,
At that moment, pieces of the ship began to fall.
Katahara: Dabi burns everything above us.
Dabi just nodded and started throwing giant flares that burned everything that was on the way up the ship.
Katahara: Everything lower the sails and open the wings.
Soon after the ship emerged from the water pillar, and the ship began to be pushed by the currents of wind that carried them upwards, the ship began to fly.
They were flying through the clouds when the wings began to shake and break little by little.
Until they were destroyed and began to fall on the clouds, when they fell on the clouds the ship floated above them.
Van Augur: We are floating on the clouds, it is an incredible sight.
At that moment Augur pointed his rifle above the clouds that were beginning to move.
When Dabi saw Augur aim his rifle, he stepped in front of Katahara and lit his arms on fire ready for anything.
A few moments later a strange looking man appeared over the ship pointing his bazooka.
