adventurous

247. Ball Challenge
- Luffy vs. Satori of the Forest.
248. Fomer Kami vs. Vassal
- The 2nd vassal "Sky Rider" Shuri & his riding roc Fuza attack Chopper, but Ganfor & his pet duck Pierre intervene thanks to Chopper's emergency Sky Knight whistle. I really like the bird companions. There's also some background here on the "Song of the Island".
249. The Village Hidden in the Cloud
- We meet some Shandians (native sky people) named Aisa & Wyper. Ganfor is wounded by Shura.
250. Ball Dragon
- Luffy finally defeats Satori with the help of Usopp & Sanji.
251. Overture
- The Dial Ship makes it safely out of the Forest of No Return. The Shandians are targeting Kami Eneru's temple. The Straw Hats learn that the Upper Yard was once half of Jaya.
252. Junction
- Straw Hats reunite. Chopper tends to the wounded Ganfor. Team agrees to search the city of El Dorado for gold.
253. Varse
- Ganfor explains the meaning of Varse: greenery & soil that don't normally exist in the sky. The Straw Hats examine a 400-year-old map of Jaya, which used to be shaped like a skull. There is treasure marked in the right eye of the skull, which would be located in what is now the Upper Yard.
254. Aubade
- Kami Eneru opens all of the Upper Yard to the Skypiea vassals, including "Sky Breeder" Ohm & "Skyboss" Gedatsu. The Merry Go is mysteriously repaired in the middle of the night by someone.
255. The Anaconda and the Search Team
- Ganfor states he was Kami until 6 years ago. Luffy & crew are attacked by a tiger-striped snake.
I really enjoyed the introduction of the Shandians, who are basically dealing with their native sky land being colonized by people from the Blue Sea, & who don't like either the Straw Hats or the Vassals. I also enjoyed the concept of the island Jaya being half carried off to the sky one day which is a fun video game-y idea.
