Flashback 15 minutes earlier~
"How strong do you guys think Enel is?" questioned Zoro.
"Who cares shishishishi. Nami, when are we getting to the upper island thingy?" asked Luffy.
"Are we really going there?! Luffy! Conis said multiple times that we shouldn't go there!"
"Shishishishi. We have to find that fruit, remember? So Balls can teach us something cool."
"Hey guys! I can see an island!" shouted Chopper.
The Straw Hats find themselves in front of an island filled with giant ancient trees. Unlike the rest of the island where the Straw Hats have been, this seemed like the normal forest you would find in the blue seas. The ground is covered with a rich carpet of grass, contrary to the snow-white colored clouds.
"OK, we need to form a group so we can scatter around this island and possibly find the devil fruit we're looking for. The first group will be made of Luffy, me, and Usopp. The other group will be Zoro, Robin, and Chopper."
"Zoro already left," mentioned Robin.
"WHAT!" yelled out Nami.

POV Baal
Me and Zoro found ourselves in a forest full of thick old green trees. I told him to get going already because Nami would probably keep on yapping about some BS. Zoro quickly agreed and went in a random direction. I didn't really bother with stopping him and telling him where to go because I don't know where to go either, and plus, he'll probably get lost and find the fruit out of luck.
After a few minutes of walking, me and Zoro kept on walking around and found ourselves where we started. This idiot can't even walk in a straight direction.
"Hey Zoro, just walk straight! You've been going around in circles!" I burst out.
"I have been going on a straight path! The path must be misleading or something!"
A few minutes of me yelling at Zoro for going right and left, we suddenly heard a scream made by a male. It was begging someone not to kill him. When I heard the yelling of the man, I suddenly remembered the plot of the upper yard, where Enel's priests killed a random pirate on this island.
"Hey Zoro, there seems to be something fun over there, why don't we go and check it out?"
Zoro looked at the sword on his hip and said with a nod, "Yeah."
As we got closer and closer, we saw five human figures and one gigantic dog. One of the humans was sitting down with a knife in his hand, pointing it towards the four humans who had a mocking face, alongside a giant dog.
'They must be the priests,' I thought.
I want Zoro to fight them, to see how strong he is and to find out if Enel will interfere. It might be dangerous because Zoro still haven't learned Haki, but I want to test out how strong we are. Besides, he has plot armor, and even if he dies, I don't think I'll die with him because I already have Helmeppo as one of my wielders.
When we arrived, all of them noticed the presence of Zoro. The one sitting down looked like your typical pirates back in the old seas, but the others were different. The four others were more intimidating, and their presence felt different from the one who was begging for his life.
The one who stood out the most was the fatass one. He had dark red hair that was quite long, he was built like an egg with two arms growing at the wrong position. That shit was at the very front of his fatass body. He also had a dumbass grinning face with a pair of glasses; he also had a pair of white wings on the back of his fatass body. This was Satori, one of the Priests.
Besides him was the rat-looking ass one; he had a mustache that should already have been cut. I don't know why he's keeping that shit. He was wearing heavy clothing like it was winter; he wielded a jousting lance and had a helmet on. This was Shura, one of the Priests.
One of the other four people was Gedatsu. He is dark-skinned with an unusual hairstyle. He was wearing a matching purple jacket and pants, and black gloves.
The last one was Ohm. He is a bald man with a muscular body. He has a pair of small wings sprouting from his back. He wears a green sleeveless shirt and gray pants with glasses. He was also carrying a weird-ass sword that has a ball at the end of the handle. Besides him was just a big dog.
These four were the Priests of Enel, the so-called God. I can't wait to fight him; our fight will be legendary!
"H-Hey you there! Distract them for me so I can call for backup! There's about 300 of my crew members waiting for me; I'll definitely ask for their help!" yelled the random pirate.
"God, he's annoying. Kill him, Zoro," I said.
He was obviously lying; he was trying to use Zoro to get out of here. Fucking coward.
When Zoro heard me, he just looked at me and didn't say anything and looked at the pleading pirate. Then he looked at the four others and gave a small smile. I guess he also wants to fight them, or at least Ohm, who's carrying a sword.
"You bastard! You better listen to me or I'll cut you!" cried out the Pirate.
The pathetic little pirate was mad; Zoro was ignoring him like a dumbass. He shouldn't even be scared of those four; he should be scared of us! With a thought, I unintentionally used Conqueror's Haki out of pure disgust.
The pirate and the four priests, including the dog, felt chills down their spines; sweat was now all over their bodies. The priests were now on guard, and the pirate was pissing himself. I guess that was too weak; I didn't even mean to use it.
"Kill him," I said.
But before Zoro could even reply, Shura already killed the pirate and said,
"Forget him, we'll have to kill this guy first!"
All three nodded in response.
'Three of them are minorities, for Zoro, this will be easy,' I thought with a growing grin on my face.

Feel like some people will be mad about him using conqueror's haki for no reason, but just let me cook bruh.
