"What... what exactly happened? Was God's Island attacked?" Conis walked into the street, gazing into the distance, and muttered to herself.
This was only because she couldn't see the scene in the distance; otherwise, if she had seen the Sanctuary disintegrate and the giant bean vine fall, she would probably have been too shocked to speak.
"Thunderclouds just now, there's no mistake, it must be the wrath of the gods. Could it be the Shandia People?" Pagaya walked to her side and said worriedly, "I hope we won't incur the wrath of the gods."
"Everyone, please be careful and stay safe, Hassho." McKinley led his White Berets Unit onto the street, directing order.
"Daddy, do you think it's possible that God was defeated?" Conis was still young and blurted it out without thinking.
"Pah, pah, pah! Children speak without thinking, children speak without thinking, but never gossip about God." Pagaya was extremely anxious. He knew that the guy who called himself God possessed omniscience and omnipotence, and his heart was never very broad. Even if he said these things, it would be difficult to make amends.
He was already prepared to push Conis aside and take the punishment himself, but no matter how long he waited, no thunderbolt fell from the sky.
"Huh? What's going on? Has God become enlightened? Or is what Conis said... right?" Gopaia shook his head, quickly banishing that dangerous thought from his mind.
He had witnessed the power of a god, the power to control thunder and heavenly might; even the gods of the previous generation were no match for him.
Perhaps he is right; God is indeed invincible.
"Hahaha, you damn bastard, you've been blown to pieces!" Enel laughed wildly and triumphantly. He hadn't been this happy in a long time. The last time he was this happy was probably when he destroyed his homeland, Birka.
The thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, the rivers were clear and the seas were calm, and the world presented a scene of sunshine after the rain.
Roy's figure disappeared, leaving Enel slumped on the Cloud Layer, laughing wildly without a care for his image.
This turn of events was so sudden that the others were still in a daze, some even rubbing their eyes and wondering if they were hallucinating.
"How is this possible? Is God really invincible?" Laki covered her face helplessly, weeping not only for Roy but also for Shandia.
They came out in full force this time, and their allegiance was crystal clear. Without Roy, they would never have dared to defy Enel's wrath.
"Are you really dead? Didn't you say you were a god? How could a god die? Answer me!" Wyper shouted in despair. Even he didn't believe anyone could survive such a terrifying explosion.
All the Shandia People were in despair. Although they were natural-born warriors who were never afraid of sacrifice, it was still too much to ask them to pick up their weapons and fight a monster like Enel.
If they hadn't witnessed the previous battles, it would have been fine, since ignorance is bliss. But after witnessing the disintegration of the God's Island, they simply couldn't muster the courage to fight against the gods.
"God can never fail, that's the truth of this world, yahahahaha." Enel laughed wildly, but when he saw the indifferent faces of Crocodile the Sand and the others, he was displeased and mocked, "What a bunch of cold-blooded bastards, is this all you're going to do when your captain dies?"
"Yeah, the captain's dead." Jin, with his sniper rifle slung over his shoulder, yawned listlessly and said in an extremely casual tone.
"Yeah, it's not like the boss hasn't died before." Patch touched his bald head, a look of disdain on his face.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down Enel's face. He had already guessed the answer, but he didn't dare to think about the possibility of this outcome.
"For God, death is never the end." The indifferent words came from the void, and a black vortex appeared in the sky. Roy's body emerged, like a dead man returning from hell.
Enel's mouth was wide open, his eyes almost bulging out, making him look exactly like a dehydrated toad. However, the Shandia Warriors and the God's Enforcer weren't much better off.
If Roy's previous powerful combat abilities were merely beyond the realm of humans, then this ability to switch life and death is entirely in the realm of gods.
In fact, with Roy's Observation Haki, it was impossible for him to be fooled by Enel's clumsy acting.
But instead of exposing him, he deliberately walked into Enel's trap in order to strike Enel even more deeply.
After all, no matter how powerful a person is, they are still just a human being at heart. Transcending the boundaries of life and death is to step into the realm of gods.
Roy was just taking advantage of Enel's lack of experience. On the high seas, all kinds of abilities flourished, and the ability to take someone's place was not uncommon. But in the eyes of Sky Island, reversing life and death was truly beyond their imagination.
Even if Enel was unwilling to admit defeat, he had to admit that Roy was more like a god than him.
In reality, most Devil Fruit User only pursue the ultimate attack power. Very few people can develop the auxiliary abilities of their Devil Fruit to such a full extent as Roy. It is precisely because of this that he is able to achieve the omniscience and omnipotence in the eyes of others.
"Well, it's not shameful for you to submit to God." Roy knew that Enel was already in a state of turmoil, so he quickly pressed his advantage.
"Don't... don't be so arrogant. At worst, I'll just kill you again. I don't believe you can keep resurrecting indefinitely." Even Enel himself knew he was just being stubborn. He had been getting beaten up by Roy before. If his scheme hadn't succeeded, he probably wouldn't have even been able to touch Roy's Kakuzu.
"Alright, warm-up over. It's time to show you the true power of a god." Roy knew it was time to use the decisive force to end all of Enel's unrealistic fantasies.
"Warm-up? Don't be ridiculous, you..." Enel's words stopped abruptly when he saw Roy's right hand touch the hilt of his sword. If it weren't for this scene, he would have forgotten that the swordsman in front of him hadn't even drawn his sword.
He certainly didn't think that someone like Roy would wear a sword at his waist just for decoration.
Even though there are few sword masters on the Sky Island, it doesn't hinder his understanding of swordsmen. When a swordsman places his hand on the hilt of his sword, that is when he is at his strongest, but also at his most dangerous.
"Is it that move again? That immense power..." Crocodile the Sand's pupils contracted violently. How could he forget the crushing defeat last time? It was this very sword strike that made it almost impossible for him to even think of resisting Roy, destroying his confidence and courage to be Roy's enemy.
"God is invincible! Thunder Judgement!" The Inazuma surrounding Enel expanded into a giant ball of Inazuma, even enveloping the entire White Sea, making the black thunderclouds appear even deeper than the night.
"The power to destroy everything— the Great Cataclysm!"
