Battle Erupts on Sky Island

Angel Island - Cloud Sea Battlefield

Thunder roared like ten thousand dragons, raging and devastating.

Enel's raging lightning descended from the sky, engulfing heaven and earth, and the entire sky Angel Island instantly turned into a golden Thunder Prison!

And in the very instant that destruction was about to strike—

"Whoosh!"

A blur flashed by, and Roy and Conis vanished without a trace in an instant.

The next instant, the two appeared on a towering Cloud Platform in the distance.

Roy settled the still-shaken Conis under the cloud barrier, then turned around and stood with his arms crossed, looking down at the Battlefield with that mocking smile still on his lips.

In the sky, lightning flashed and clouds dispersed.

Enel hovered in mid-air, his golden pupils coldly staring at the fiery boy before him, the lightning at his fingertips leaping like snakes, his killing intent palpable.

"Do the ants of the Blue Sea dare to look the gods in the eye?"

Ace responded with a fearless smile, and on his fists, azure flames burned fiercely, distorting the air.

"A god? He's nothing but a narcissistic lightning bastard."

"Flame Pillar!"

He threw a punch, and scorching flames rapidly compressed on his arm, condensing to their limit before exploding into a pillar of blue and white flames that shot straight into the sky and blasted towards Enel!

A flicker of surprise crossed Enel's eyes. He let out a cold snort, and his figure twisted and vanished like a lightning snake.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of lightning appeared behind Ace!

"20 million volts Discharge!"

"Boom!!"

A high-voltage lightning bolt erupted, accompanied by a deafening Thunderclap, and detonated behind Ace!

Lightning collided with flames, exploding with a deafening roar. Fire and thunder intertwined, and the clouds exploded into deep craters within a hundred-meter radius, with lightning and fire churning the sea of clouds!

Enel's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Ace's fiery form, which hadn't been vaporized by the lightning. A rare look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. "You... you can actually use 'Power of God'?"

Ace brushed the lightning mark off his shoulder and sneered, "Don't get me wrong, this isn't some kind of divine power."

"Just because you ate a Logia Devil Fruit, you call yourself a god? You're incredibly arrogant."

Upon hearing this, Enel's expression darkened, lightning crackled, and his entire aura changed drastically!

"You're the arrogant one!!"

He suddenly accelerated, transforming into a bolt of lightning, and arrived in the air in Flash!

"60 Million Volts - Thunder Beast!"

The Golden Drums on his back spun out, releasing Thunder Snakes that converged into a wolf-shaped high-voltage current, crashing down on Ace!

"Mirror Flame!"

Ace roared and swung his arm out, unleashing a massive wall of flames that crashed down on the Thunder Beast!

Fire and lightning clashed head-on, creating a huge, blazing ring of light in the sky!

Rolling Thunderflame swept in all directions, and the aerial battle entered its berserk phase!

On the eastern sea of clouds, Zoro's battle with Ohm was equally intense!

The "Iron Cloud Longsword" in Ohm's hand kept changing shape, transforming from a long whip into a giant hammer under his control, and then condensing into Trident- like blade.

"In my 'Trial of Iron'," Ohm said coldly, his tone indifferent, "The knife in your hand is nothing but dull iron."

Zoro drew his twin swords. "Let's see if this blunt iron can cut off your stinky face."

"Shave!" He rose up, stepping on clouds!

"Two-Sword Style: Eagle Wave!!"

The slash struck like a sudden gust of wind, the sword energy roaring as it hurtled towards Ohm!

Ohm remained calm, his longsword transforming into a fan shape to parry. Using his Observation Haki, he precisely predicted the slash's trajectory and countered with a swift strike. "Iron Cloud - Sever!"

"Clang!"

Swords clashed, sparks flew! Zoro was knocked back several meters, a bloody gash appearing on his cheek from the fan's feathers, blood trickling down his chin.

He wiped his face, his fighting spirit only intensifying, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face, "Tsk... Interesting."

Ohm's Iron Cloud weapon kept changing, and the next strike transformed into an iron whip that coiled like a snake, whistling as it came!

"Iron Cloud - Throat Lock!"

Zoro dodged, crossed his twin swords in defense, and stomped his foot—

"Two-Sword Style: Crescent Moon!"

Two cross-shaped energy blades were unleashed in an instant! The clouds were cleaved apart, and the iron whip was forcefully torn open!

Ohm frowned slightly. "Your strength is impressive, but your movements... are too easy to predict!"

Having said that, the Iron Cloud Sword instantly extended and transformed, turning into Cane Sword like a whirlwind Inazuma, its speed increasing dramatically, almost stabbing towards Zoro's throat in the next instant!

Zoro's eyes sharpened, and he crouched down to unleash a horizontal slash. "Two-Sword Style: Returning Blade!"

The two rushed forward and engaged in close combat, their blades flashing like lightning, each move a desperate struggle for survival!

To the south, a sea of clouds stretched out, a fierce wind blew, and blazing flames swirled among the clouds.

Shura's arms were wrapped in scorching cloud ropes, Heat Dial spear was stuck in his back, and he stood on cloud belts, making him look like a hunting maniac.

He licked his lips, revealing a twisted smile.

"Woman, can your sword outrun my flames?"

He suddenly drew his fire spear, the flames scorching the air at the spear tip, and a wave of intense heat rushed towards him!

Kuina remained fearless, gripping the Wado Ichimonji tightly in one hand. The sword's edge trembled slightly, its aura like a simmering blue light ready to be unleashed.

She simply exhaled softly and whispered, "Let's try."

"Flash!"

With Flash of sword light, like a gentle breeze, her figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

"Whoosh!!"

The sword light slashed through the blazing flames, aiming straight for the Shura's throat!

A glint of light Flash in Shura's eyes, and with a sinister grin, he unleashed a ring of ropes. "Rope Binding - Life Lock!"

Several strong, steel-like cloud ropes were hurled from the fire spears, crisscrossing like a net to block Kuina's offensive!

But in the next instant, she cleanly and decisively severed those rope-like clouds with a single sword strike, her sword intent still lingering!

"Too slow."

Kuina spoke coldly, her feet lightly stepping on the clouds, her figure spinning as she closed in once more!

Shura gritted his teeth and roared, reversing his fiery spear and thrusting it fiercely into the clouds, unleashing a violent burst of flames!

"Heat Dial Crack!"

The fire surged like a volcanic eruption, scorching the entire cloud-covered landscape, and then rolled towards Kuina!

Kuina leaped onto the rising clouds with a series of quick steps, weaving through the sea of fire like a swallow. Her sword energy sliced through the scorching waves, and she slashed out with a backhand strike:

"Cloud Dance, Swallow Return!"

A bloody gash suddenly exploded on Shura's back, and the fire spear almost slipped from his grasp!

"Ha... not bad..."

Shura licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes growing increasingly crazed.

"But you think that's enough to win?"

He suddenly sprang up, and a dozen or so cloud ropes shot out from behind him, forming a multi-layered cloud network trap in the high sky!

Kuina looked up, her expression solemn yet fearless, and with a gentle turn of her Wado Ichimonji "—

Come, let me shatter your arrogance!

To the West, a sea of clouds rolled and churned, the Swamp Clouds writhing and surging like living monsters, obscuring most of the view and carrying a suffocating, sticky smell.

Dressed in his Cloud-Mud Armor, Gedatsu glided at high speed using his Jet Dial, his movements as agile and unpredictable as a shadowy snake.

"Suffocate in my Swamp Cloud!"

He suddenly flung his hand, and a cloud of gray-black Swamp Cloud, trailing sticky threads, flew out and surrounded Luo!

The air seemed to become sticky, and even sound was suppressed!

Luo stood still, raised his Right Hand, and lightly touched the air with his finger. "ROOM - Scan."

The azure circular area instantly expanded, sweeping across the surroundings!

"Whoosh!"

Just before the Swamp Cloud swallowed him whole, he suddenly Flash and swapped positions with a stone pillar in the distance!

The next instant, he appeared behind Gedatsu and drew his sword to strike!

"Cut!"

Flash purple lightning, and the sword light aimed straight for his back!

Gedatsu suddenly turned around, his feet Jet Dial as he forcefully slid to the side to escape the attack trajectory!

"Wind Spray - Move!"

His entire body transformed into a high-speed afterimage, plunging diagonally down from the sky, sweeping across the clouds in its wake!

"You think your little tricks can trap me?"

Luo remained calm and extended his hands again. "ROOM - Switch Positions!"

He swapped positions with a piece of severed marble, then swung his sword—

"Injection - Cleave!"

The Scalpel blade swept out, striking Gedatsu in the left shoulder!

"Hiss!!"

Gedatsu roared in pain as half of his armor was cleaved open, and blood dripped into the Swamp Clouds.

"Tsk... you're so annoying."

He opened his mouth and spat out a cloud of black poisonous mist, obscuring Luo's vision, while simultaneously controlling the Swamp Cloud to spread to a wider area, attempting to compress the Surgical Domain!

But Luo merely smiled coldly, his feet slightly shifting. "ROOM - Expand!"

The entire cloud field instantly turned azure blue, as if he had cleaved the sky in two!

"Your 'Swamp'... is too dirty, let me Debridement for you."

The two clashed once again amidst the clouds and blue light, their sword flashes, spatial fluctuations, and Swamp Cloud slime colliding in a fierce battle!

On both flanks of the Battlefield, flames and thunder roared incessantly, and sword light and Poison Clouds surged and intertwined!
