The Thunder God's Fall

Angel Island - High-Altitude Battlefield

Thunderclouds churned, and the sky trembled.

Enel roared in his Thunder God form, lightning exploding and swirling across his body, like a god's wrath descending upon the world, his oppressive aura covering the entire sky island!

His golden pupils were bloodshot, and his killing intent was almost tangible.

"Those despicable Blue Sea People... they've driven me to this point...!!"

Thunder God suddenly opened his arms, and billions of volts of electricity condensed in his palms into a dazzling ball of lightning, as if the entire sky was being twisted and stretched!

The clouds high in the sky trembled violently, and countless bolts of lightning gathered and swirled at the top of the clouds, as if the gates of heaven were opening!

"Divine Punishment - Thunder Prison!!"

"Boom--!"

In an instant, hundreds of bolts of lightning, as thick as mountain pillars, descended from the sky, dense as a waterfall, sweeping across the heavens and earth!

That was a destructive judgment belonging to "God," with lightning pillars piercing through the sea of clouds like spears of divine wrath!

Faced with such Heavenly Punishment, the two brothers did not flinch in the slightest.

"Ace!"

Luffy eyes blazed, and a storm of fury raged!

"They're here!"

Ace's fists roared, and flames surged!

--Brothers united, two strong forces resonate!

Luffy a deep breath, his dragon throat bulged, and the pink dragon scales all over his body shimmered with a metallic sheen. His Dragon Breath swirled and compressed wildly within his body!

"Demolition Gust - Chaotic Dance!!"

With a thunderous roar, the Dragon Breath poured out, and the gale was like a thousand blades being unleashed, forming an overwhelming storm of blades!

The wind blades collided with the lightning pillars, creating a series of explosions that tore apart a section of the lightning domain!

At the same time, Ace's flames condensed on his arm like Meteors, the azure flames twisting the air and compressing into a huge Fire Pillar of fire!

"Fire Ring· Explosive Flame Pillar!!"

He thrust forward with both fists, and Fire Pillar shot into the sky, colliding with Luffy's storm!

At the very moment the two forces merged! Wind enveloped fire, fire carried wind, swirling and roaring!

"Brothers' Combo Skill: Explosive Dance!!"

"Boom--! Boom boom!!"

The fiery wind swirled into a spear of destruction, piercing through the void and furiously stabbing at the Thunder God!

Enel's expression changed drastically. He tried to gather lightning again to defend himself, but his "Observation Haki" sensed at that moment that he could not change his fate of being struck!

"What a joke! I'm a god!!"

His Thunder God Body suddenly erupted with light and flame, his arms transforming into Thunder Blades as he crossed to block!

"Thunder God Mamaragan Walls!!"

Thousands of lightning arcs formed a defensive barrier, and the thunderous roar filled the sea!

The spiraling fire and wind slammed into them!

"Click--!"

The lightning shield shattered like glass! The pillar of wind and fire tore through the defenses, striking Enel squarely in the chest!

"Impossible--!"

Enel's eyes widened, and he spewed out lightning and blood mist from his mouth, his Thunder God Body twisting violently!

Thunderclaps, electricity runs rampant!

"Ahhh--!"

He screamed as he was engulfed by the fire and wind. The hundred-meter- Thunder God exploded into a shower of light high in the sky, and golden lightning fell into the distant sea of clouds like meteors!

"Boom--!"

The entire Sky Island trembled violently!

In the distance, countless Sky Island residents looked up at the sky. The Thunder God, who originally symbolized "divine power," had now fallen to ashes, and the afterglow of the falling light was like a miracle!

God has been defeated.

They won!

High in the sky, the Pink Dragon form slowly receded, and in the afterglow of the flames, Luffy returned to human form, his face filled with a smile that was a mixture of excitement and exhaustion.

Ace knelt on the Cloud Platform, the flames not yet completely extinguished, a familiar, unruly smile playing on his lips, "Hoo... That was incredibly satisfying!"

The sky finally quieted down, with only drifting clouds remaining, and the setting sun illuminating the remnants of the Battlefield.

Conis stood on the cloud bank, her white dress fluttering, gazing at the sky torn apart by the storm and azure flames, tears welling in her eyes.

She murmured softly, as if announcing to the entire Sky Island: "They did it..."

"They overthrew 'God'!!"

In an instant, the entire Battlefield fell silent, as if the air itself had held its breath.

The inhabitants of Angel Island peeked out from their various shelters, gazing up at the sky with bewilderment.

"You... you won?!"

"Enel... has been defeated?!"

"God... has been defeated?!"

After a brief and oppressive silence, the next moment—

"Waaaaah--!"

"We are free!!"

"God has fallen—we are free!!"

Long live the heroes of the Blue Sea!!

A torrent of joy erupted in the streets and alleys, with cries, laughter, and shouts overlapping and intertwining, sweeping across the entire island like a tidal wave!

The residents of Angel Island, the remnants of Shandia, and even the White Berets soldiers who had been bowing their heads in submission, all looked up at the few Blue Sea People in the sky—with awe, gratitude, and tears welling in their eyes!

On the other side of the clouds, Gan Fall, riding the winged horse Pierre, led the remaining Divine Squad and Shandia warriors at breakneck speed, just in time to witness the final moments of Thunder God's fall.

The elderly yet resilient former god clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face.

"The Sky Island is finally saved..."

On the ruins of the Cloud Platform, Ace and Luffy landed on the ground one after the other.

Both men were covered in wounds, their clothes charred black, but they wore the same smiles on their faces.

They exchanged a glance and simultaneously extended their right fists.

Thump!

Their fists lightly collided, flames and dragon scales mingling in the afterglow, their unspoken brotherly understanding evident.

"Well done, Luffy!"

"Hehe, Ace's flames are super cool too!"

Laughter echoed in the sky, carrying the carefree and relieved air of a victor. Roy walked slowly over, his cloak billowing, composed and at ease.

He stood before the two of them, a lazy smile playing on his lips, "Hmm, not bad. My Hell Training wasn't a waste after all."

Behind them, Zoro, Kuina, and Law also walked onto the Cloud Platform.

Zoro crossed his arms and scoffed, "Tch, I won't be standing on the bench for a battle like this again!"

Kuina smiled slightly, "Your 'Combined Strike attack' was indeed spectacular."

Luo pushed up his hat brim, his eyes remaining calm. "But... that guy isn't dead yet."

Everyone's expressions hardened, and they all looked towards the sea of clouds in the distance.

Sure enough, from within the charred clouds, a familiar figure staggered to his feet. The lightning had died down, but the anger remained.

Enel, his body charred black, his cloak tattered, and his golden eyes devoid of light, still gritted his teeth and roared, "You... ants...!!"

He raised his trembling hand, trying to gather more lightning, but only managed to produce a faint hissing spark.

With his electrical current dried up, his Haki out of control, and his Mantra in disarray, he was no longer able to fight.

"Still trying to struggle?" The moment the voice rang out, everything went black before his eyes.

"What?! When did you--"

Enel struggled to look up and saw a tall figure standing before him.

"What's going on... the Mantra isn't responding at all?!"

"Faster than me?!"

"Thump!" Roy raised his hand and gently tapped Enel on the back of the neck.

"Snap!" Enel instantly felt a tremendous force strike him, his eyes widened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

This once arrogant "god" rolled his eyes back and fell into a coma.

Everyone: "So casually..."

Roy turned around, spread his hands, and announced with a relaxed expression, "Alright, 'God' is dealt with."

"Let's have a feast, kids!"

"Oh oh--!"

Amid cheers, the group began their journey home.

As the lightning faded, the Sky Island ushered in true dawn.
