Haku looked at the old man in front of him and said, "No, no, no! Right now, the most dangerous person on this island is me!"

Gan Fall carefully sized up Haku for a moment, then said, "Alright! I can't see anything extraordinary about you, but I still want to give you a piece of advice. Leave this island as soon as possible. In case that fellow discovers your existence..."

Haku shrugged and said, "If he discovers me, he discovers me! Right now, I'm just hoping he hurries up and comes to find me so it saves me the trouble of walking!"

Seeing Haku act like this, Gan Fall stopped talking! He had already said what needed to be said, and arguing any further would just be a waste of breath.

Haku ignored the old man and walked off in another direction, though before leaving, he still said, "I advise you to honestly stay put and stay out of whatever is happening on this island right now! Don't end up bringing trouble upon yourself."

Gan Fall looked at Haku's departing back, a sigh welling up in his heart. He figured Haku was going to his death, but he had no way to stop him. He could only hope Haku would return safely, though he didn't hold out much hope for that.

And Haku quickly encountered the next of the Four Priests.

"Hehe! Hohuhu!" A unique laugh drifted into Haku's ears!

Soon, a spherical object appeared in Haku's vision. If you didn't look closely, you really almost wouldn't be able to tell it was a person.

Satori looked at Haku before him and said, "I didn't expect a Blue Sea resident to trespass here! I am the priest of the Ball Trial, which has a survival rate of ten percent. Are you ready to die?"

Haku's Observation Haki clearly sensed that items resembling explosives were hidden among the nearby sphere clouds!

Destructive Arts, Number Four: White Lightning.

Before the opponent could react, Haku extended his index finger and blasted all the sphere clouds they wanted to use!

Watching Haku detonate all the Surprise Clouds he had painstakingly prepared, Satori furiously charged at Baiyuan, wanting to use an Impact Dial on him!

Haku said nonchalantly, "Why are you getting so worked up?"

Destructive Arts, Number Ninety: Black Coffin.

In an instant, a black cube covered Satori's body, and faintly, Haku could even hear the opponent's miserable screams coming from inside the Black Coffin.

Not long after, the Black Coffin dispersed! Satori lay on the ground on his last breath, unable to move.

Just as Haku wanted to go up for the finishing blow, a wave of heat rushed toward Haku's direction. When Haku looked up, his entire body was instantly enveloped in flames!

"Satori isn't dead yet, is he!" A rough voice rang out from the direction where the flames had been launched.

Before long, a man riding a giant bird and wearing a safety helmet landed in front of Satori! Behind him, other figures constantly darted about, and shortly after, the Skypiean warriors scattered to approach and surround the opponent.

Shura looked at the dying Satori, and in his line of sight, Satori seemed as though he wanted to say something.

"Hurry...!"

Unfortunately, just as he leaned in closer to listen carefully, Satori finally couldn't hold on and breathed his last right on the spot.

Shura anxiously asked, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't die on me yet! What on earth are you trying to tell me?"

At that moment, behind him, that mass of burning flames spoke up. "He was trying to tell you to run!"

Shura's pupils instantly dilated, and he looked warily at the burning mass of flames. He didn't understand why the other man hadn't been burned to death yet.

Haku raised his right hand and swept it obliquely upward, and the flames clinging to his body instantly extinguished.

Haku looked around and smiled, "Yo! All you Skypieans came over?"

Meanwhile, Wappa glared at Haku not far away with an annoyed look, and the Skypiean warriors he brought didn't speak to Haku either.

Finding it uninteresting, Haku turned his gaze back to Shura in front of him, slowly opening his mouth to say, "Perfect! I just finished dealing with the second priest, and you popped right up. That saves me the trouble of coming to look for you!"

"Blue Sea resident! Your doomsday has arrived! Heat Bazooka!" Shura seemed to sense the threat from the opponent and made the first move!

He leaped forward, and flames burst forth instantly!

"Boom!" The pillar of fire pierced straight through the ground!

The speed of the flames was astonishing, swallowing Haku's body in the blink of an eye!

"Haha, Blue Sea resident, taste the power of fire!" Shura's frantic laughter echoed through the deep forest.

A crisp sound of a blade being drawn rang out, and instantly, Shura's laughter abruptly stopped. Behold! The flames that should have been burning obediently surrounded Haku instead!

"No! Impossible! How can this be?" Faced with this situation, Shura instantly grew apprehensive.

This time he didn't shoot flames, but instead leaped onto the back of the giant bird, gripped the sharp spear in his hand, and charged down toward Haku!

"Go to hell, kid!"

Following Shura's roar, the giant bird beneath him seemed encouraged and rushed toward Haku even faster.

Seeing that Haku was about to come under attack, some Skypieans instinctively wanted to use a bazooka to help Haku.

Just as the sharp spear was about to pierce through Haku, Haku raised the Zanpakuto in his hand high and slashed out a huge arc of energy, cleaving the priest and the giant bird in half!

Wappa and the others stared in shock at the direction of Haku's recent attack, because that slash, after cutting down Shura, maintained its momentum and utterly destroyed every tree within several hundred meters!

However, none of that mattered! Haku's gaze turned solemn as he looked up into the sky, his eyes revealing an excited glint!

A man wearing a white headscarf and bare-chested appeared in the sky. His earlobes were very long and adorned with golden earrings, thunder drums were mounted on his back, golden rings decorated his hands, and he held a golden staff.

He wore harem pants on his lower body, went barefoot, and had rings on his toes!

The newcomer was none other than the current ruler of God's Island, Enel!

Enel looked at the corpses of Shura and Satori and said, "Hmph, a bunch of useless trash!"

Afterwards, he looked at Baiyuan standing in place and said, "Blue Sea resident! I'll give you a chance now! Submit to this God and become my subordinate, and I can spare your life!"

Haku looked at him with the expression one might reserve for an idiot!

He spoke up, "Big Earlobes! You really take yourself for a god!"

"B-Big Earlobes???" Evidently, Enel liked this moniker very much (or so Haku thought).

"Go to hell, Enel!" At that moment, Wappa suddenly raised the burn bazooka in his hand and fired it toward Enel in the sky!

Haku glanced in Wappa's direction, silently cursing him as an idiot!

Wappa's attack was easily dodged by the opponent! Primarily because the other's attack intent was far too obvious, allowing Enel's Observation Haki to notice it long ago!
