Long Summary
Luffy, Usopp and Sanji begin their journey to Upper Yard and Usopp was questioning if Conis was going to be alright being that she is now branded as a criminal like them. As they headed into Upper Yard they commented on how huge the forest is. Just as they begin advancing into the forest, they were attacked by a big moving scythe. Luffy used Gomu Gumu No Bazooka to help them escape. Just then they were again attacked by arrow-edged woods. Sanji and Luffy kicked them off and Luffy used Gomu Gomu No Kazaguruma to ward the woods off. Just then a boomerang appeared and began attacking them. As the Speed Shrimp transports the rest of the crew, Robin commented on the fact that their current location appears to be a sacrificial altar. Luffy, Usopp and Sanji continued to be attacked, this time by a Skylamprey, which Sanji easily defeated.

Zoro had defeated a Skyshark and decided to explore the forest. Nami commented on how dangerous it was since the priests and Enel where at Upper Yard. Nami indicated he needed to respect God and Zoro replied that he had never for one day prayed to God. Chopper thought that was very cool of Zoro. The three traveling down the Milky road were once again attacked by another Skylamprey, again Sanji defeated it with ease. Robin decided to go with Zoro to explore the forest after seeing the writings on the sacrificial altar and commenting that the altar is about 1,000 years old. Robin states that history of such excites her. She further indicated that there may be jewel shards that could be found and be useful to the ship. On hearing about jewels, Nami decided to go along with them as well. Leaving the ship in Chopper's care, they left. Chopper later realized the he is the one in most danger being alone in a dangerous place.

Luffy, Sanji and Usopp are still making their way through the Milky Road and finally make their way to the entrance of the four different Ordeals.
