A/N: I fcked up in timelines. But it's not so important here as it will not affect the story and I don't really care too much about it. Proceed!

The next day in Mock Town...
People in the town were bustling and hustling with rumors about yesterday's abnormal phenomenon.
"According to the news you gathered, the next knock up stream will happen tonight?" Luke asked Blackbeard. He was on the bar drinking nonchalantly.
"Yes. Master, are you interested in Sky Island, The City of Gold?" Blackbeard whispered carefully. People in the town have opposite opinions regarding this tale. If they caught having conversation of this matter, they will definitely become the laughing stock of the Town.
"Don't call me that. It's giving me goosebumps. Call me Luke just like the usual. And yes, we will go there when the knock up stream starts." Luke swirled his juice calmly.
Hearing this, Blackbeard felt like backing out. It's not like he didn't know the place, he already heard rumors that the Pirate King already reached the place. Just that, going there unprepared is like a suicide mission.
"Laffite didn't return yet? How hard is it to capture a bird? He's a bird himself." Luke tapped on the table as he was deep in thought. Laffite also swore his loyalty to him without much resistance. The guy was smart, he could actually see who has the highest bidder between him and Blackbeard.
His goal there is to capture Enel who holds the Power of Lightning, The Goro Goro No Mi and extract his Devil Fruit for future use.
"*Cough! I told him to find Burgess and let him be treated to a doctor first." Blackbeard sweated as he answered. He blamed his shitty fate for accepting Luke's contract and now his freedom became limited.
"It's late. Change of plans since tonight will occur the knock up stream." Luke stood up, preparing to leave. He said, "Let's go borrow a ship. We're catching up."
Then both of them left the bar.
...
At noon...
Luke and Blackbeard boarded a ship filled with pirates bounties ranging from one to five million berries. The most interesting part is that, these pirates are called Bellamy Pirates whose captain has a bounty of more than fifty million berries in the original story.
Luke leaned on a chair liesurely while both his shoes rested on Bellamy's head who was kneeling in front of him.
Behind him was Blackbeard at the helm which clearly enjoying the show.
No one recognized Luke since he still wore his legendary low key outfit where his lips is the only part they can see.
Meanwhile, Bellamy was fuming with rage and humiliation but also fear. He never expected that someone would trample his dignity in front of his crew and the culprit was unrecognizable to them except for Blackbeard whose grinning from ear to ear looking at him with contempt and disdain.
All the Bellamy Pirates wanted to retaliate, but their bodies refused to move no matter what they do including talking. Fear and anxiety engulfed everyone while glancing at Luke in despair.
"ZEHAHAHAHA! What a lovely scenery indeed!" Blackbeard couldn't help but made a random comment. He was clearly pointing at the frozen pirates' misery.
Although his previous crew suffered the same under Luke's hand, he wasn't too much affected by it. Like Luke mentioned, he just formed his crew and there's little attachment he has for them. Plus, he was a heartless pirate. Everything he does is for the greatest benefit only.
Now that he's under Luke's control, he will act like he used to. Staying humble to his boss but also ruthless to his enemies.
"It's not bad." Luke chuckled as his hand raised then a blonde woman floated towards him. Her name was Lily, lover of the Vice Captain of the Bellamy Pirates, Sarquiss.
Lily was clearly terrified by it while Sarquiss was having a bursts of countless emotions within.
"Fetch me a drink and some fruits." Luke commanded.
Lily stumbled knowing she can move again. However, her feet refused to move due to fear.
"Hurry up. Every minute past you delayed my request, a person will be thrown out to feed the fishes." Luke rubbed his shoes on Bellamy's cheek for amusement.
Lily heard it before crawling inside the cabin with difficulty.
"ZEHAHAHA!! ZEEEHAHAHAH!!..." Blackbeard's annoying laugh echoed the seas.
Luke was only teasing the woman. However, he won't show any sympathy towards her. She chose to be a pirate, then she will die as a pirate.
As for the Bellamy Pirates, he will not touch them for now. If they meet again in the future by fate, it will be him with the Strawhats.
...
Night arrives...
"Say Teach, how come you're gulping every freaking second? Where's your laugh now?" Luke chuckled as his eyes were squinting at the nervous Blackbeard.
"You must be joking, Luke! This is clear madness!!" Blackbeard trembled as he replied. Going to Sky Island is fine as long as one has a durable ship, but going there using a.. wooden plank is suicide. Plus, he can't be exposed to sea water or he will lose his life.
"I never tried this but we'll see. It'll going to be exciting this way, right?" Luke stared at the bottom of the sea to examine. Any moment and they will be dragged upwards by the stream.
Meanwhile, the Bellamy Pirates were returning back with haste. They were clearly traumatized by Luke.
Bang!!
"Damn it!! Who the fuck are those men?!" Bellamy smashed everything he sees out of frustration. He was covering his humiliation by entering an enraged state.
"Damn it captain!! Why didn't you do anything?! He was a Devil Fruit User and so are you! We were being toyed by that bastard!" Sarquiss was even more angry than Bellamy. Luke made his partner, Lily his maid, personally feeding and giving him massage in front of their group. Just by thinking about it, his blood pressure rose to the peak.
Bang!!
Bellamy punched Sarquiss straight in the face. He was equally mad too. Of all the crew, he was the only one kneeling in front of Luke while his face was tainted by latter's foot most of the time.
"Enough! This isn't going to solve anything! You should know that man is out of our league. It's a miracle that we all survived and no one is badly hurt." Lily centered herself in front of the two fighting men.
Bellamy and Sarquiss went silent. If given the chance, they will surely go as far away as possible when meeting those demons again.
"They used our ship to go to that stream. What are they up to anyway?" A random pirate asked in confusion.
"Who fucking cares! Let's get the hell out of here!!" Bellamy shouted in frustration. Today's lesson gives him a scare that there are monsters among monsters within pirates. Something clicked inside of him. He realized he wasn't satisfied of being just a normal pirate. Power means everything and a new resolution ignited his very soul.
...
SWISH! BOOOM!!
Luke and Blackbeard shot into the sky with unbelievable speed. Even Luke was having a hard time steadying his balance.
Unlike the Strawhat Crew who followed the stream, Luke and Blackbeard were in the middle of the stream. They shot through the skies in a matter of seconds.
BOOM!
Without much suspense, Luke arrived at the entrance of the heaven's gate with Blackbeard. They were covered in a energy bubble that protects them from any harm. The wooden plank is still there as the two glided towards the gate.
Blackbeard was amazed by the place even though it's dark. They have indeed arrived at the legendary place.
After they arrived at the gate, Luke saw a old lady with a pair of wings at her back. She was taking pictures of them.
"I am Amazon, the Heaven's Gate Inspector." The old woman introduced herself. She said,
"Pay one billion extol per person, it's the law."
"No. We don't have that kind of currency. As you see, we only have a wooden plank left in us." Luke shrugged as he smiled.
"I guess you're here for sight seeing." Amazon said with neutral tone. She said, "You can pass."
"Hoho. I think you misunderstood my intentions, ma'am. We didn't come here for vacation or something." Luke smiled as the old lady paused.
"We come here to..
kidnap your so called Almighty God."
