Screen 1
Nami returned riding a Waver across the cloud sea, still getting used to controlling it. But while trying to slow down, she accidentally crashed straight into the Skypiea police chief.
The impact knocked the chief down badly, making the situation even worse for the Straw Hat crew.
Soon after, the Skypiea authorities announced an even harsher punishment — a "5-degree punishment."
Their ship, the Going Merry, would be stranded high above the clouds for centuries.
When Sonic heard this, he stared at the police in disbelief.
"Centuries?" Sonic said.
He crossed his arms and added, "That's not a punishment… that's just ridiculous."
Screen 2
The Skypiea police tried to surround the Straw Hats and move in for the arrest.
Before they could reach the crew, Sonic stepped forward.
In a flash, he moved at hypersonic speed, disappearing from sight for a moment.
One officer suddenly felt a powerful strike to the stomach, and the impact sent him flying far across the cloud ground.
Within seconds, Sonic dashed between the officers, knocking them down one by one before they could react.
When it was over, the police were scattered across the cloud field while Sonic calmly stopped beside the crew.
"Guess the arrest didn't work out," Sonic said.

Screen 3
After the clash with the police, the Straw Hats were officially declared second-degree criminals in Skypiea.
Soon after, Conis finally confessed the truth. She had been forced by the "God" and his priests to guide the crew toward the Upper Yard, a forbidden sacred land where intruders were sent and sacrificed.
She lowered her head, clearly frightened and ashamed for tricking them.
Sonic watched her quietly for a moment.
Then he said calmly, "So you were forced to do it."
He looked toward the distant clouds of the Upper Yard and added,
"Then the real problem isn't you… it's the one calling himself 'God.'"
Screen 4
After Conis confessed the truth, a sudden beam of light fell from the sky. The people of Skypiea called it "God's light," a punishment sent from above.
Just moments before the blast hit, Sonic moved instantly.
At hypersonic speed he grabbed Conis and pulled her away from the impact point, saving her from the strike.
Right after that, the mysterious Gan Fall, the Sky Knight, arrived and helped take Conis to safety.
Watching the destructive light from the sky, Sonic's expression hardened.
He looked up toward the clouds where the so-called god ruled and said angrily,
"Anyone who attacks people like that… shouldn't call themselves a god."
Meanwhile, Monkey D. Luffy remained completely undeterred and declared that he was heading straight to the Upper Yard to rescue their friends.
Screen 5
Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, and Sonic set out on a small boat along the Milky Road, heading toward the Upper Yard.
Along the way, the strange cloud path was filled with traps and strange sky creatures.
Whenever danger appeared, Sonic dashed ahead at incredible speed, scouting the path and knocking aside smaller monsters before they could reach the boat.
Meanwhile, deeper inside the Upper Yard, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, and Nico Robin explored the area.
They discovered ancient ruins hidden in the forest and soon realized something disturbing — the Upper Yard was used as a sacrificial ground for those sent there.
Screen 6
Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, and Sonic finally reached a huge statue with four mysterious doors, each leading to a different trial.
After a short argument, they chose the "Ball" door and entered a strange cave filled with traps and floating cloud spheres.
Inside, they encountered Satori, one of Enel's priests.
Satori easily predicted the attacks of Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp using an ability called Mantra, allowing him to dodge their moves before they even landed.
Luffy and the others struggled against the priest's strange powers.
Sonic watched the fight carefully but did not jump in immediately.
Instead, he stood to the side, observing Satori's movements and thinking,
"So he can sense attacks before they happen…"
