Landing on the Island

Kai Te felt his ears ringing—Sengoku's anger had clearly maxed out.

Just then, Garp's voice came through: "Hahaha! Don't get mad, Sengoku. Kai Te didn't mean it."

Sengoku roared back: "Garp, you bastard! Kai Te learned this all from you!"

He then turned his attack target to Kai Te: "You little brat! How much longer until you're back?"

Kai Te thought for a moment before replying: "If nothing goes wrong, I should get what I want on Sky Island today."

The conversation paused on the other end. Sengoku had no idea what Kai Te was looking for on Sky Island. The only thing certain was Kai Te's guarantee that once he found what he needed, his strength would undergo a complete transformation.

He'd even be unafraid to face an entire Yonko crew alone.

In the end, after Kai Te's repeated assurances, Sengoku let him off for now. As for the duties Kai Te was supposed to handle, Garp would have to cover for him.

Kai Te tucked the Den Den Mushi back into his pocket.

His position was now very close to God's Island. From his current height and angle, he could vaguely make out the island's full shape.

A smile crept onto Kai Te's lips—he could sense the shift in his surroundings. There was a feeling of being watched from somewhere.

He suddenly kicked off hard in midair, and his figure appeared in the jungle of God's Island.

Boom!

A thunderclap exploded from the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck the spot where Kai Te had just stood.

"Oh? Pretty short-tempered. Can't wait to say hello, huh?" Kai Te said dismissively. Still, this proved the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—even from far away, Enel could easily use his Devil Fruit ability to attack him.

After waiting a while and sensing no further attacks, Kai Te plunged into the forest center, strolling leisurely toward Enel's direction.

By the time Kai Te had been on God's Island for a while, the Shandia warriors had already reached its outskirts.

Wappa didn't hesitate to step onto the island, heading toward the center just like Kai Te.

Before long, Wappa and his group ran head-on into Shura, one of Enel's Four Priests. In an instant, the sound of gunfire and explosions rang out nonstop—even Kai Te could hear it clearly from his position.

Hearing the gunfire, Kai Te knew Wappa and the others had already clashed with one of Enel's Four Priests.

But Kai Te's target was Enel himself; he had no interest in anyone else's fight.

Right now, Kai Te stood at the entrance to the Four Trials, gazing into the forest. Then he stepped onto the gate of the Iron Trial.

Not long after, as he advanced, Kai Te sensed a creature rapidly closing in on him.

Seeing the massive dog drooling wildly as it charged, Kai Te simply kicked out a Rankyaku and sent it flying. That kick had some force behind it, but he had no intention of killing the beast.

"Mercy won't let you walk the path of justice!" Suddenly, a stern, commanding voice rang out across the sky.

Kai Te looked toward the source. A bald man in sunglasses descended from the air, wielding a Cloud Sword. His head was shaved and gleaming, his build imposing, his muscles solid—radiating explosive power. His right arm was covered in ring-shaped tattoos, giving him a very distinctive look.

"Congratulations on choosing the Iron Trial—survival rate zero. Your trial ends here."

Kai Te smiled. "How do you know it ends here?"

"Because—" Before finishing, Ohm swung his Cloud Sword at Kai Te's chest.

Watching the blade stretch out suddenly, Kai Te mused with interest: I wonder if anyone would like this Cloud Sword if I brought it back as a gift?

"Tekkai! Modified!"

He couldn't even be bothered to use Armament Haki. His opponent was far too weak. As long as Kai Te didn't want it to, this level of attack couldn't hurt him at all.

Ohm stared in shock at the completely unharmed Kai Te. He'd assumed his attack would at least seriously wound the man, if not kill him. But this?

"Sigh. You're really kind of weak." The moment those words left Kai Te's mouth, his figure vanished.

He reappeared at Ohm's side. A single Shigan pierced straight through the man's heart.

"How could..."

With those final words, Ohm's life came to an end.

Kai Te looked down at Ohm's fallen body without much regret. In the world of pirates, strength was everything. Without it, you got eliminated—or even killed.

Seeing that Ohm was truly dead, Kai Te picked up the Cloud Sword and stored it in his System Space. As for the still-unconscious dog, he left it to fend for itself in the forest.

"Looks like there's still time. Should I go check out other places?" Kai Te thought to himself.

After dealing with Ohm, Kai Te set off on another trial path. He'd decided to have some fun with the other priests—after all, Enel had sent lightning at him.

Enel, wearing a white turban and bare-chested, was lounging in a rocking chair. His relaxed expression suddenly stiffened. "Ohm's Mantra is gone."

"What?"

"No way?" The surrounding priests all widened their eyes in disbelief.

One priest looked up, lips trembling. "Lord Ohm's Iron Trial had a survival rate of zero... How could he lose?"

"Yeah... That Blue Sea man... How does he have that kind of power?"

For a moment, every priest felt an indescribable pressure and suffocation. No matter how they tried to understand it, they couldn't—the hardest trial, the Iron Trial, had fallen so quickly.

It was beyond their imagination.

Enel stood up with a cold snort. All the priests fell silent, too afraid to make a sound.

With a flicker of electricity, Enel's figure vanished from the spot.

And after Haku locked onto the person using Observation Haki, he walked in that direction!

A long while later, the first thing to come into Haku's sight was a strange creature that looked neither like a horse nor a bird!

The moment Haku saw this creature, he recognized it as the mount of Gan Fall, the former ruler of God's Island.

"Young man, you're from the Blue Sea below the White Sea, aren't you? This place is very dangerous right now."

An old man holding a sharp-tipped spear, with a blue cape hanging behind him and clad in silver-gray armor, sporting three wisps of beard at the corners of his mouth, stepped out from behind a tree!
