Island Birdland

[Kaka]

Birdland
​

Birdland is a Sky Island in the Grand Line, and is home to a world-renowned species of predatory, highly-aggressive, hostile, dangerous birds. These birds are phenomenal combatants while in the air, due to their exceptional maneuverability in the air. Some have tried to make Birdland their own, as it could prove to be a valuable strategical Sky Island, and some have even tried to conquer, subdue and weaponize the birds that inhabit it - but none have succeeded so far.

While she was glad she had special modifications done to the boat courtesy of Lindbergh & his team, Jade still wondered why they had to use something as violent as the Knock-Up Stream to get to Sky Islands. If something went wrong she wouldn't be able to help as she was below deck. The Dwarf was way too small and light to be out in the open when flying so high and fast, she would immediately be knocked off by the wind and there wasn't really a way to secure her to the mast with her small body; and that wouldn't help anyway as she still wouldn't be able to do anything.

Why did it have to be a target on a Sky Island...None of the others seemed to be in places like this. During her last meeting with other members of the Revolutionary Army; they had a pile of 'wanted posters' from a group called Cross Guild. Suddenly appearing, they started issuing bounties to World Government members and certain other individuals; starting a sort of wave of people going after targets. There was also an imminent battle between the Silver Vampirates, their allies & members of the Revolutionaries against the Government due to the former declaring they are going to execute several marines. Jade had got angry over the idea of them killing people just doing their job and seeing it as going against the ideals of the organisation. She stormed out of the meeting after grabbing a random poster and using it as an excuse to stay out of the battle; but was now coming to regret it due to who she had picked.

Way above the clouds, and made of them, were islands that are home to a race of humans with small wings, wonderful creatures like dragons, odd dial technology and various other impossible things. These places were called Sky Islands and most of the world did not believe they existed, thinking they were just locations from a story or rumors. Although Jade had never been to one, she knows about them due to several members of the Army ending up on one after a mission. With their testimony and a few experiments by Lindbergh, one of the Revolutionaries main scientists; they came up with a hypothesis on how to get there.

Unfortunately it involved riding a massive column of pressurized water to a distance far above the normal clouds. Knock-Up Streams occur all over the world, but most are unpredictable or can only be narrowed down to a (still very) large area/timeframe. The Grand Line & New World easily has the most as these 'spouts' are super rare in the Blue Seas, and might not even go the same height as ones in the former seas even when they do occur. The main problem wasn't finding one, it was surviving traveling up using it. Even if a ship could take the impact from the water and the constant stream as it went up, there might not even be anything to land on nearby; and most of the clouds were solid enough that a boat would probably be destroyed/heavily damaged due to the punishment from the stream itself and the sudden stop.

To counteract this problem, the Revolutionaries had reinforced most parts of the Sea Pixie and has put a few stabilizers and other systems to try and give them some control. But they couldn't do a massive amount as the ship still had to use it to go a very high distance, too many modifications could end up hindering or causing other problems that would be difficult to fix in the moment. To rectify the other problem, finding one(and the island itself); they had various groups gather information and find a place that matched the small amount of information the organisation had already found.

Getting lucky, someone was able to find a man who had survived "a trip to the sky and massive hostile birds"; who then gave them somewhere to start looking. It had taken a few attempts to find the right spot, as the Sea Pixie had actually seen the pillar from a distance once and then it went off in another location a few days later. Jade's navigators and other experts were eventually able to run tests and figure out where the next one was going to be; which was when she had gone below deck as soon as they arrived as it could happen every minute.

Sat in front of a window, the Dwarf hadn't been able to see anything since the sudden shaking and lift that signaled them being in the right place for the Knock-Up Stream; the only thing visible was wind and water. Sighing, she just had to trust her crew and Lindbergh as there was nothing she could do, and avoiding the people that were also hiding or was doing jobs, she makes her away from this obscured view to a small table that was setup up for her a short distance from it. On top was the poster she had picked at semi-random; she didn't really want to fight anyone human so had chosen the first one that didn't seem to look like a person.



Even with the information network of her organisation, Jade hadn't been able to find much information about these birds. Obviously they were dangerous as they had quite the high 'bounty', and were on a Sky Island; but they was in the dark about anything else. One of the creatures on the wanted poster looked like it was on fire, but the Warrant Officer wasn't going to use that as a way to figure out what else these birds could do; she didn't even know if there was only 3 so was possibly pointless even if she could work it out.

The walls around her shake slightly more and then come to a stop. Are we there? That was a very gentle and sudden landing if we are. Just as she thinks this, everything goes weightless and her feet rise off the floor. "Everyone brace!" Working out what was happening in seconds, Jade only has time to give a quick warning and grab the table; which was nailed down. Anything not secured, quickly floats to the roof and she can feel the entire ship start falling faster and faster.

Without any other way to check, she activates her Observation Haki to see what was going on above deck. Everyone was in a panic, hardly anyone was managing to do anything as it was taking everything they had just to hold onto the nearest part of the boat; the systems designed to help give them control either not working or not doing enough to help. Unable to stop herself from shouting, which only some people close to her pay any attention to for obvious reasons, Jade watches multiple people go flying off the boat as they were unable to hold on or got caught by a sudden gust of wind. With great effort, she tears her 'gaze' from her crew and looks towards the ground, on what is hopefully a Sky Island.

It quickly comes into view, what looks like a normal forest island but stops at a sheer edge on every side and is surrounded by clouds. Unable to brace much more than she already is and now majorly regretting coming here or at least not finding an alternate way, Jade just has to wait for the inevitable crash.


CRUNCH

 

[Kaka]

A sky island high up above the clouds, forested by nature, surrounded by a sea of white.

BANG

An otherwise serene day was interrupted by a loud, banging noise as what could only be descried as a ship, came crashlanding onto the sky island. It bounced off of the ground a number of times and crashlanded a few more times, flipping and tumbling until eventually, it came to a stop looking like a total wreck. The crew inside were either dead or completely dazed from the harsh landing - it was anyone's guess. The loud noises from the crashlanding and the subsequent flips and tumbles, stirred disarray in the forest. Many an animal ran away from the noise, while the birds fled the treetops, thinking an apocalypse was coming. It was as if the whole island and its ecosystem, were simultaneously awakened from their late morning nap.

The camera split into 8 screens, showing 8 large, silhouetted creatures, each perched in a different part of the island, each sleeping. As the noise reached them, all 8 of the silhouetted creatures slowly opened their eyes. The rulers have awakened.

The camera switched back to the scene of the wrecked ship, which had come to a stop in the middle of a forest.
