Space-Space Fruit in One Piece

When Eren woke up the next day, he was still sore all over. Even though injuries and exhaustion seemed to magically heal much faster in the One Piece world, the ones he had suffered would still take a little more than a good night's sleep to fully recover.

But for what he had planned for today, his current state would be more than enough. He was able to fully use the powers of his Celestial Fruit again, which would be more than enough to convince everyone on Sky Island of his strength.

Enel was still sleeping at that moment, which made Eren smile triumphantly. Since he had woken up much earlier, he was obviously the winner of yesterday's battle. At that moment, Enel also started to stir and slowly woke up.

"Hmm, Huuhj, Hiimigh," the first thing he noticed after opening his eyes was that he couldn't see anything or even breathe through his mouth. It took him a few seconds to finally remove the piece of cloth that covered his face and prevented him from breathing and speaking.

"What happened?" He asked as he turned to Eren who was standing next to his bed. He could remember losing consciousness after their fight, but not what happened after that.

"I rescued you after you lost our earlier fight badly. You were covered with wounds all over your body, so I wrapped you in bandages." Eren saw his chance to twist the events of yesterday in his favor.

"Don't lie to me. I know you were as exhausted as I was. I haven't forgotten the result of our fight, only what happened afterwards."

Eren cursed in his mind because his plan had failed. "Well, after you were knocked out, I told the current ruler of Skypiea that we would take over the entire Sky Island today. Since we are already the official rulers of Birka, we only need to conquer Skypiea and Shandoria." In the past years, the Birkans had found out how strong he and Enel really were, so they didn't dare to treat them like outsiders anymore.

Enel wasn't surprised by Eren's announcement, because he had always known that his brothers' dream was to bring peace and justice to the whole world. Although he didn't know why this was his dream, he planned to support Eren in his endeavor.

Enel's own dream was simply to be recognized as the undisputed strongest and coolest in the world. Maybe even to rule over a kingdom or two, but that was it. His own goals allowed him to pretty much support Eren in his plans, so he would do just that.

"Do you need my help? I know you can do it on your own, but if you need me to do something, I can follow you," Enel offered.

"It would be great if you could at least come along," Eren replied and accepted his offer. "That way they'll recognize you and know that you're one of the big dogs, otherwise they might treat you like an enemy when you set foot there for the first time."

Enel didn't really have anything better to do, so he just agreed. Finally, Eren used a certain ability he had recently developed. By combining the powers of his Space Fruit and Observation Haki, he was able to sense the changes in the surrounding space. It could be moving objects, light passing through, or sound waves spreading out.

He had copied, no, taken some inspiration from Enel. This ability was very effective, as he could also cover the entire Sky Island with his Observation Haki. He could easily hear any sound or feel any movement. If he concentrated a bit more, he could even 'see' everything within the area he could cover.

This ability made it very easy for him to locate every single inhabitant of Sky Island. Since he didn't want to waste any time, he simply opened a portal under every single human-like being within the range of his Haki. Except for the Birkans, of course.

He teleported them to the place where his and Enel's fight had taken place yesterday and moved there himself.

Gan Fall suddenly noticed that the ground he was standing on seemed to vanish without a trace, and he fell into what looked like a purple hole of nothingness. This hole seemed very similar to the one that the unknown person had used yesterday to disappear in front of his eyes.

After entering it completely, he suddenly realized that he hadn't died, but was standing on island clouds in a completely different space from where he was before.

Looking around, his eyes suddenly widened in fear. He was surrounded by thousands of Skypieans, and the entire Shandian tribe was standing a few meters away from him.

How strong does this guy have to be to teleport so many people at once? If he wanted to, he could probably kill them all without any resistance. Gan Fall had already given up in his mind.

He was already afraid after seeing his lance pierce the young man without causing any damage yesterday, but there might still be a limit to that as long as he hit him often enough. His current feat of teleporting thousands of people at once made him truly realize their disparity.

The moment the Shandian Chief suddenly appeared in an unknown place with no ability to resist, he was instantly ready to fight. Especially after he saw thousands of Skypieans surrounding him and his tribesmen.

Just as he was about to use a shock dial to open an escape route, he suddenly remembered a strange conversation he had with Gan Fall yesterday.

The old man, who had been pestering him with talks of peace, suddenly spoke of a common enemy that had supposedly appeared. He wanted to form a temporary alliance between the two races, but was obviously sent away by the chief, who still hadn't overcome his hatred.

However, after reassessing the current situation, he felt that an alliance might indeed be the only way for them to get out of this disaster unscathed.

[A/N: At the moment, Wyper is still not the chief.]

The moment Eren appeared above the crowd together with Enel, he slightly compressed the space below him to achieve an effect similar to Conqueror's Haki. This forced the people gathered below him to crouch slightly in his presence. Honestly, he didn't want to be a tyrannical ruler, but he felt that this was the quickest way to reconcile 2 tribes that had been fighting for generations.

At the same time, he also completely expanded the area around Gan Fall and the Shandia Chief. Otherwise, they might cause some chaos later when they wanted to protest against his reforms.

"Welcome everyone," Eren said in a loud voice. To make sure that everyone could hear him, he opened small portals all over the place to carry the soundwaves everywhere.

"You may have wondered why I have gathered you here. The reason is quite simple. I want you all to stop fighting over Shandoria and instead live together peacefully under my command. You won't have to pay me any taxes. All you have to do is obey my orders, as long as they are reasonable."

Hearing what he just said, almost everyone under Eren was unhappy. How could they just take it lying down when a stranger suddenly teleported them to a random place and told them to follow his orders?

Unfortunately, most of them were individually weak, so they looked at their respective leaders, Gan Fall and the Shandian's Chief. But to their surprise, both of them were moving in slow motion, almost standing still.

"They won't be able to move again any time soon," Eren said. At the same time, he made another big move. He created many small shurikens out of compressed space and threw them towards each of the people below him, their speed exceeding what they could react to. The shuriken grazed a single cheek of each person, leaving a shallow cut. This was to show them that they didn't really have a choice.

Only one of the people below him was able to react. It was a young man with dark hair and tribal tattoos covering the left side of his face and arm. It was the currently 16-year-old Wyper.

Interesting. Eren hadn't expected anyone to dodge this attack. 'He might be worth recruiting.'

"Anyway, now that you have seen that you are defenseless against me, I will announce some new rules you have to follow." Eren suddenly spoke to the still shaken Shandians and Skypieans below him. This made them all look up in fear, but none of them dared to meet his gaze. The only one who showed any emotion besides fear was Wyper, who clenched his fists in anger.

"Rule number one," Eren continued. "There will be no more fighting and killing. If I catch anyone who breaks my word, I will imprison them in space, just like Gan Fall over there. But forever." A shiver ran down their spines, for not being able to move at all was as good as being dead.

"Rule number two: The Shandians will reclaim all of Shandora, it is their home after all, no discussion. At the same time, any kind of dial is Skypiean property, since it exists within their homeland. So if one of you wants to get resources from the other, you have to trade. Also: no stealing. If I catch anyone doing that, I will put them in timeout for a month. By the way, time-out means being locked up again like Gan Fall."

"My last rule: I might bring some people here in the future. When I do, I just ask you not to disturb me or them. I don't care what you do to other outsiders.

Also, one last piece of advice, try to get along and make some friends. You will only benefit from each other. I'm going to leave Sky Island for now, but as you've seen, I can come back whenever I feel like it, so don't break my rules just because you think I'm absent."

With these last words, Eren was about to teleport away, but suddenly he remembered something important.

"Oh, before I forget: My name is Eren C. Birka and this is my brother Enel. Show them what you can do, Enel."

Enel simply called down a thick pillar of lightning to prove that he wasn't to be underestimated either, before Eren teleported them both away.

Announcement: This will be the last chapter I upload until sunday, where I will mass-release 3 or 4 at the same time. The reason for that is that I want to enter the release rankings to get some more attention to my book. I planned the same thing this week when I published the first 8 at the same time, but for some reason my book wasn't displayed even thought I had released over 15.000 words. I hope that this way the novel will get some more attention (which I personally think it definitely deserves) to motivate me even further. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Leave some power stones or reviews, as Eren might just tell Enel to destroy the entire sky island otherwise.

Additional rules in Skypiea:
