Enel's Miserable Defeat

The five main heroes, plus Tahm Kench, are all level six or higher.

Gangplank, Tahm Kench, and Garen are all level nine heroes, possessing astonishing combat power.

For example, Gangplank had two Doran's Rings and a small mask, making him an AP captain who had long been lost to the game and focused on W.

Enel hit Gangplank on Gangplank head with his stick; the damage Gangplank lost wasn't even enough to recover by eating an orange.

In the world of One Piece, there's no such thing as a serious injury effect; AP captains are truly incredibly powerful.

Ma Qiao believes he is an absolute tactical master.

Furthermore, since this location is unsuitable for using Gangplank's ultimate ability—carpet bombing with cannons—his combat strength is still the lowest among the three level nine heroes.

Garen and Tahm Kench are well-equipped, have high health and defense, and each also deals percentage-based damage.

Enel was already in a state of panic after discovering that his lightning was ineffective.

He's not Big Mom.

After discovering that Zeus's thunderclouds were ineffective against King Luffy, the Big Mom still had a hundred ways to fight.

Without lightning damage, Enel's strength is reduced to less than one-tenth!

How can we fight this war?

Finally, after being repeatedly violated by six burly men, Enel collapsed to the ground, tears of humiliation streaming down his face.

Garen raised his greatsword of justice, ready to send him on his final journey.

Now, Garen is also using the B. F. Sword.

Although it's not exactly the ultimate equipment, it's still significantly more powerful than the Doran's Blade he used before.

The light of justice is gathering on the B. F. Sword.

The golden light in the sky was like a radiant ray of justice, no less powerful than Enel's lightning strike.

As heroes level up, their skills will undergo some fundamental changes.

Unfortunately, the highest-level hero under Ma Qiao's command is only level 9, so he can't experience the terror of the level 2 ultimate skill.

However, a pure damage skill like [Demacian Justice], which increases its damage based on the percentage of the enemy's lost health, can create an extremely strong sense of pressure even at level one.

On Ma Qiao's side, Enel has been beaten to a pulp. On the Shandia people side, apart from the strongest warrior Wyper who almost killed a Priest in a life-or-death struggle, the others are still fighting a bitter battle.

Their bodies were covered in wounds as they looked up at the magnificent light.

"Is... is this the power of the Sun God?"

The Shandia people worshipped a Sun God, but no one remembers what the Sun God actually looked like.

The light of justice piercing through the clouds, in a way, resembles the radiance of the sun.

This is just Garen; if his sister used [Final Spark], or Leona used her ultimate, these guys might all be worshipping him.

Because they were destroyed by the World Government for protecting the Poneglyphs, their lineage was eventually severed, and their Civilization regressed to a tribal era. These natives are indeed very easy to fool.

Ma Qiao silently noted this down in his notebook, planning to recruit Leona, the Dawn Goddess, as the department manager later.

Wouldn't that make these Shandia people completely obedient?

'Fortunately, these Shandia people don't worship the white feathered serpent god, and they haven't lacked immunity due to their long isolation from the world; otherwise, the Shandia people would probably have been wiped out by the Skypieans long ago...'

Ma Qiao shook his head.

There's no need to worry about a sharp population decline due to disease. This way, Ma Qiao won't need to capture "pirate slaves" or engage in triangular trade when setting up a factory on the Sky Island Jaya.

In this way, the bloodshed in the rise of the Big Bird Consortium can be reduced somewhat.

Unless they were heinous criminals, Ma Qiao did not want to treat them like slaves.

Of course, Enel, this living power source, cannot be let go.

This guy is absolutely heinous, and a potential world-destroying force.

Most importantly, Enel is just too useful.

One Enel is worth the labor value of an uncle or a Bernie.

And it avoids public condemnation—it's perfect.

Therefore, just before Garen's greatsword fell, Commander Tahm Kench relayed Fleet Admiral Ma Qiao's supreme instructions.

He shoved Garen aside, then unleashed his long, wide tongue, slapping Enel across the Kog'Maw repeatedly.

After being covered by three layers of [Cultivate Taste], Tahm Kench devoured Enel whole into his mouth with a [Devour].

This scene was witnessed by the Shandia warriors and the remaining three Priests who had come in pursuit of this light of justice.

"This... this is a demon! Enel has been eaten!" the Priests cried out in terror, turning to flee.

"The goddess of Destiny is smiling..."

Twisted Fate Twisted Fate drew a red card and vanished from the spot.

The next second, he appeared in front of the Priests.

A red card with an area of Wild Cards, the movements were fluid and elegant.

The Priests, already at their limit, were thus defeated.

"A demon? The goddess of Destiny?"

The Shandia people also somewhat bewildered.

Where is the Sun God we were promised?

How could it be that giant, green toad with fangs that ate that bastard Enel in one gulp?

Although eating him would have been satisfying, but...

The sun's divine punishment is still the coolest!

Listening to the Shandia people's whispers, Tahm Kench hiccuped and sighed, "Whether it's the Sun God, the demon, or the goddess of fortune, who in this world, all the monsters and demons, can escape Mr. Ma Qiao's control?"

Only he can bring you a bright and happy future... Well, the assembly line: get married, have children, buy a house, raise kids, and live an ordinary life.

The Shandia people were puzzled, but in reality, Tahm Kench was not wrong.

Based on past experience, what ultimately eliminates gangsters and so-called "social youths" is not repeated campaigns to crack down on drifters, but rather mass production lines.

For a long period of time, the employment rate and the crime rate showed a clear inverse correlation.

However, due to the limitations of the East Asian model, which relies heavily on imports and exports and is based on external factors, the assembly line ultimately has its limits.

It can bring stability, but it cannot bring happiness.

The value of suppressed labor has been transformed into cheap commodities, and cheap commodities can only be exchanged for sheets of green paper that can be used to default on credit at any time.

On the contrary, because of the continuous influx of cheap goods, the happy education and multi-headed entertainment system across the ocean can be maintained for a long time, and can even turn around and accuse someone of stealing their jobs.

Fortunately, the world of One Piece is different.

Whether the "invisible hand" works or not, Ma Qiao doesn't know.

However, Ma Qiao believed in his hands.

If one can become the ultimate producer, then one becomes the one who cuts the cake.

In that case, the assembly line would gain the respect it deserves, its value would be recognized, and its income ceiling would rise significantly...

Just as the Shandia people were chanting Mr. Ma Qiao's name, celebrating that they had finally reclaimed their ancestral land, a loud neighing of a horse rang out in the sky.

Sky Knight Gan Fall, riding a Sky-pointing Bird —a bird unique to the Sky Island that ate the Horse-Horse Fruit —clad in full Western European armor and wielding a spear, descends from the sky. (As shown in the picture)

"Shandia people, Blue Sea People, I am not your enemy, I mean you no harm..."

"Lord Tahm Kench, this old man was the 'god' before Enel, ruling over this so-called 'God's Island'..."

Wyper, dragging his broken left arm, explained, "He wasn't as ferocious Enel, but..."

There's no "but".

Tahm Kench shook his head. "This land belongs to you Shandia people, and also to our Big Bird Consortium. Sovereignty belongs to you, governance to me. Let's set aside our disputes and develop it together. As for the Skypieans... go cool off somewhere else!"

Tam Kench, the true hidden master among Maggio's retainers, whose equipment level is the highest and who is responsible for Maggio's personal protection, jumps up in an extremely unscientific way.

"Blue Sea Fish-Man, I am Gan Fall, the former 'god' of God's Island..."

The well-informed Gan Fall quickly identified himself.

"Old man, remember this: no one can claim to be a 'god' in front of Mr. Ma Qiao, not even the Sun God!"

"From this day forward, there will be no more God's Island, only Shandora, and the Shandora production base of the Big Bird Consortium!"

"Fish-Man Karate: Long Tongue Over-the-Shoulder Throw!"

Just as Gan Fall was about to give a speech about love and peace, he was swept up by Tahm Kench's long tongue and, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, transformed into a shooting star and flew into the distant sky.

In fact, judging from the wing decorations on their backs, the Shandia people and the Skypieans might actually be, as the ocean studies expert said, so-called "descendants of the moon."

But for Ma Qiao, out of simple sentiment, he still supported the Shandia people in reclaiming their homeland.

Love and peace can wait until those Skypieans are kicked out of the land belonging to Shandia.

If old man Gan Fall was truly so noble, willing to live peacefully with the Shandia people, what was he doing all those years ago?

Never believe the tears of colonizers.

Although the Golden Bell was not ultimately rung, Wyper, piloting the Waver, still brought news of the victory back to Cloud-Hidden Village as soon as possible.

The Shandia people wept with joy and knelt down to pray.

"No, we shouldn't pray. If prayer were effective, the Skypieans would have wiped us out a hundred times over!"

Wyper, cigarette dangling from his lips, shouted, "We must thank Lord Ma Qiao! Without him and his friends, we would never have been able to return to the city we've protected for a thousand years!"

"Thank you, Ma Qiao. Maggio!"

Wyper knelt down, and more and more Shandia people knelt down. Finally, the old chief also knelt down.

Ma Qiao helped the old man up. "Sir, there's no need for that. As I always say, once you sign my contract, you're my brother... uh..."

Ma Qiao thought about it and something seemed off.

This old man is my brother, so wouldn't all the Shandia people be my grandsons?

With a sigh, Ma Qiao stopped dwelling on these trivial matters.

King Luffy has many flaws, but he has one excellent habit.

That was a grand banquet!

Ma Qiao shouted, and beams of light flashed.

Including Heimerdinger and Dr. Mundo, the other Retainers appeared on the Sky Island carrying fine wine and food.

To commemorate Shandora's return to its true master after four hundred years, and to celebrate the great victory of the Big Bird Consortium in taking control of the skies, a grand and unique banquet begins!

People sang and danced, Short-Lived Ghost cigarettes and whiskey were free, given away for free by Boss Ma.

Anyone who is sixteen years of age or older can drink to their heart's content.

However, there was one person who couldn't immediately enjoy such a delicacy.

Tahm Kench is still inside!

In a makeshift operating room, the four members of the Big Bird Medical Team gathered.

Tahm Kench vomited up the dying Enel.

Dr. Dr. Mundo raised his cleaver and began the amputation surgery below the head.

Speaking of surgery, the Op-Op Fruit, which is also considered a legendary fruit in the world of One Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, is absolutely overpowered.

After developing the Op-Op Fruit), Law's favorite thing to do was to take out other people's hearts, and even exchange them.

The fact that a person can still be alive and kicking after having their heart removed is simply inexplicable by scientific principles.

However, this is perfectly normal in the world of One Piece.

Dr. Mundo wasn't after the heart, but the brain.

There was once a very famous thought experiment called the Brain in a Vat.

Although living in a virtual space of consciousness, the thoughts in the brain can still experience joy.

Enel was a complete antisocial and antihuman element, and theoretically, using a prefrontal lobotomy technique certified by the Pell Prize in Medicine would be his best fate.

But Ma Qiao is not a devil after all.

Enel's brain was transplanted into a "jar" made from Nika Cells.

Because it is Enel's brain, although it is just a brain, it is still crackling with electricity, and it is extremely dangerous without a proper container.

In the gentle embrace of the Sun God, Enel could dream of establishing a divine kingdom on the Endless Vearth, and of being a true god looking down upon all living beings...

All of this will be reviewed by Professor Heimerdinger through the data interaction port.

If Enel truly comes to his senses, Ma Qiao might consider returning his body to him.

But he continued to indulge in unrealistic fantasies, and Ma Qiao could only let him remain forever asleep in his woven dreams.

Of course, since Enel's brain has ample energy and power supply with the help of Nika Cells, and his computing power is extremely high, recruiting some Fourth Calamities to enter his dreams and play games with him would be a very good option.

Aside from Enel's brain, Enel's body is the real treasure.

It also uses Nika Cells.

Dr. Dr. Mundo implanted a large chunk of Nika Cells into Enel's head, replacing his original brain.

Because these Nika Cells were collected before Luffy developed meat aversion, Enel, after being transplanted, became a machine that only knew how to eat meat.

Eat meat, generate electricity, eat meat again, generate electricity again.

Although meat is also expensive, the amount of electricity Enel releases is incomparable to the calories contained in the meat he consumes.

The law of conservation of energy doesn't exist.

Or perhaps everyone in the One Piece world could perform nuclear fission on food.

In short, this is a very low-carbon and environmentally friendly business, yet it is extremely profitable.

At least, the energy supply problem for the entire Shandora Big Bird Consortium was thus completely resolved.
