Ian looked up at the thunder in the sky.

Otherwise, why would there have been so many people on various forums in my past life touting the Rumble-Rumble Fruit as the strongest Devil Fruit?

Even with the arrival of Mythical Zoan versions, and Logia rotating out of the meta, it's still the same.

The main reason is that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit indeed very powerful.

It has three very shameless and unreasonable abilities.

Firstly, it is an electromagnetic wave capable of amplifying Observation Haki to an exaggerated degree.

Secondly, it possesses a long-range strike capability that matches its detection range, making it comparable to precision bombing.

Thirdly, matching the first two abilities is a movement speed that can be described as instantaneous teleportation.

These three abilities combined are enough to make anyone sick.

What can you do if lightning keeps striking you from more than ten kilometers away?

What if you can't catch them, and you can't escape them?

Besides these disgusting abilities, lightning itself is also a powerful form of energy that can be used directly as a power source.

It can be described as having an all-around, hexagonal capability.

No wonder it was the most popular Devil Fruit among One Piece fanfiction protagonists before the Mythical Zoan era.

but.

As they say, times have changed.

Crack!

A dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the sky, but it failed to strike Ian.

An invisible barrier blocked the descending lightning and instantly shattered it, transforming it into shimmering silver snakes that spread in all directions.

Armament Haki barrier, kid!

Kizaru can even deflect Nika Luffy's punch!

Lightning!

"What?"

In the center of Birka, inside the temple, a fair-skinned man stared in shock at his previously languid eyes.

The attack failed?

After a brief moment of surprise, a smile of interest appeared on his face.

"Hahaha! This is hilarious!"

His voice boomed like thunder, "Summon the priests! An interesting fellow has arrived!"

On Ian's side.

"Did it thunder?"

Yamato, perched on Ian's shoulders, looked up curiously, but there weren't any clouds in the sky at all.

The nearest clouds are the White White Sea sea floating three kilometers above this sea of clouds.

Where did this thunder come from?

"Those are fireworks to welcome us."

Ian chuckled.

"Fireworks?"

Below, on the deck of the Golden Flying Dragon, Dorry laughed heartily, "Those fireworks are a bit too intense!"

"Are they enemies?"

Jack immediately went on alert. "Brother Ian, are we preparing for battle?"

"Don't rush, let's see what welcome activities have been prepared for us first."

Ian's lips curled slightly.

Yamato, with a grin on his face, put his arm around Ian's neck and said, "Some people on the island have already started making moves."

Ian flapped his wings and flew forward until he reached the edge of the island, where he slowly landed and placed the Golden Flying Dragon above the sea of clouds.

Only then did I have time to examine the island.

They should be at a port in this country at this moment.

Yes, who says islands on Sky Island can't have ports?

There are also ships on the Sky Island, and the islanders communicate with each other.

There's even a form of punishment on the Sky Island called the Cloud Flowing Punishment.

It involves binding people and throwing them onto a boat, letting the boat float beautifully on the sea of clouds until it reaches the end of the sea of clouds, then crashing directly into the Blue Sea and shattering into pieces.

Ian reverted to human form and landed on the deck.

"They don't seem very welcoming of our arrival?"

Luo stood with his arms crossed on the side of the boat, looking at the residents of Birka on the shore.

It was visibly clear to the naked eye that the residents of Birka were constantly retreating, wanting to get away from the port Golden Flying Dragon.

Their faces often bore expressions of fear, as if they were afraid of some terrible thing that was about to happen.

"Didn't that old man say that before?"

Ian smiled and said, "This island has a very cruel ruler; he probably doesn't welcome outsiders very much."

"Oh?"

Black Maria covered her mouth and chuckled. "That old man also said that the ruler of this island is a man called God, and he possesses godlike power."

"God?"

Ian chuckled softly.

Who isn't a god at some point?

Let's have a match of "One Piece Super: Battle of Gods"!

Since the ultimate enemy is that self-proclaimed god, using this minor deity in the sky as an appetizer isn't a bad idea.

Oh no, am I really going to turn into Ideon?

"Ian, he's here!"

Yamato's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned his body outwards toward the ship's side.

On the shore, the crowd scattered in fear, and a group of soldiers in pristine white uniforms sped across the wide street on strange roller skate-like shoes.

They carried various weapons, but without exception, all of them were white and made of clouds.

Above the sea of clouds, there is no soil or rock, and naturally no metal minerals. Therefore, all the weapons on the Sky Island are basically combinations of clouds called Iron Cloud and various shellfish.

The soldiers surrounded the entire port, their weapons aimed at the Golden Flying Dragon.

There were three people leading these troops.

They don't look very old.

One was a bald man riding on the back of a giant dog.

One was a knight riding on the back of a purple bird.

The last one was dressed in purple, biting his upper lip, rolling his eyes, and his hair looked like upside-down spider legs.

Ian looked each of the guys over in one look.

I vaguely remember them; they were the priests under Enel who appeared in the Sky Island arc.

Is it the original cast?

"Intruders, stop here."

The knight riding on the back of the flying bird propelled the bird to flap its wings and fly above the Golden Flying Dragon, looking down at Ian and the others.

The man's expression clearly showed astonishment when he saw Dorry and Brogy.

Are Blue Sea People this big?

but.

He sneered.

So what if it's big?

Before the power of a great god, they are nothing but ants.

"The great god Enel says, 'You have committed an unforgivable sin, daring to refuse the punishment bestowed upon you by the gods.'"

"Ah?"

Yamato tilted his head.

"Hey, hey, hey, how arrogant!"

Luo sneered, "Is simply refusing so-called sanctions already a crime?"

The so-called sanctions were just that bolt of lightning that struck down earlier, weren't they?

He's even more arrogant than Ian.

"Ian,"

Hancock's face was as cold as ice. "What's the point of talking to these guys? Let me turn them into stone."

How dare they offend Ian! These bastards deserve to die!

Ian waved his hand, chuckling lightly, "No rush, let's play along."

"But the great God is ultimately merciful; even if you have committed unforgivable crimes, He is still willing to give you a chance."

The Flying Bird Knight, a priest under Enel, the god who rules Birka Island, and the Azure Knight Shura, gradually raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a cruel smile.

"If you can pass the test set by us three priests, then your lives will be spared."

Just hearing his words, the residents on the shore behind him already showed expressions of pity.

This so-called test is probably not a good thing.

Actually, there's no need for an approximation. Ian, who has read the original comic, knows that the so-called tests of these priests are nothing more than a murder Yugi.

Those who survive their attacks are considered to have passed the test.

"Test?"

Ian chuckled. "They've come with ill intentions."

Luo reminded them, "We are the ones who have arrived."

"In that case, let's do as the locals do."

Ian said with a smile.

Enel is probably hiding somewhere right now, observing this place with his Observation Haki.

Then let's have some fun with him.

"Luo,"

Ian patted Law on the head beside him, "Go and take care of them."

Luo broke free from Ian's grasp, but smiled with a hint of excitement. "Me? Wouldn't that be a bit of an underutilization of my talents?"

He was never a well-behaved person; quite the opposite, he was rather secretly passionate.

Ian chuckled softly, "What are you talking about, Luo? You're already the youngest."

Luo's face froze instantly.

Violet was not a combatant, and among the others, even Hancock's two sisters were masters of Haki, far beyond Law's current ability to defeat.

Sondra and Marigold's Haki might not be strong enough, but it was more than sufficient to block Law's Op-Op Fruit.

The next moment, Luo, with a sour face, stepped on the air and soared into the sky, his eyes dark as he looked at the Sky Knight Shura riding on the back of a flying bird.

It's decided, let's chop this guy into eighteen pieces, and chop him up like Ian.

Luo frowned slightly.

The air was slightly thinner at high altitudes, making Geppo less smooth to use than on the Blue Sea.

However, the impact is not significant.

Luo looked at Shura with a disdainful gaze.

If I can't handle Ian, if I can't handle Yamato, if I can't handle Hancock... then surely I can handle you?

"Kid?"

Shura frowned slightly.

But he can actually fly?

Is he a being with abilities like a god?

It doesn't matter.

Ha! Whether they're brats or ability users, I'll kill them all the same!

"Then let's start with you, kid!"

With a cruel smile, Shura slightly squeezed his legs together, and the giant bird beneath him instantly spread its wings and soared into the sky.

Luo did not give chase.

Using Geppo to chase after someone who can actually fly is a very unwise move, unless there is a significant difference in strength between the two.

He believed that this guy would attack.

And that is indeed the case.

After circling in the air once, Shura rode down on the giant bird, his knight's lance aimed at Luo, ready to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Luo's lips twitched slightly; what a simple and direct offensive.

Who could this attack hit?

The two passed each other in the next instant.

"What?"

Shura turned around in surprise.

Did it miss?

Why?

He clearly used the Mantra to assist with aiming!

"Luo's Six Powers are quite good."

Shura couldn't see it clearly, but Ian could see it very clearly.

Just as he was about to be pierced by Shura's lance, Luo's body suddenly became as soft as paper, easily dodging the penetrating blow.

Kami-e!

"He is indeed very hardworking."

Behind him, Jack said calmly.

He taught most of the Six Powers to his later friends; no one had more authority to speak on them than him.

"No matter what despicable tricks you use, you can never defeat me, the Azure Knight!"

Shura controlled the flying bird to turn its head, and with a roar, slapped the head of the flying bird beneath him.

The bird instantly opened its beak wide, spewing out blazing flames that transformed into a pillar of fire that hurtled towards Luo.

"Huh? It's breathing fire?"

Yamato was greatly astonished, "Mythical Zoan?"

"Where are there so many Mythical Zoan?"

Ian patted her head.

It's just that a Flame Shell was added inside the bird's beak.

Sky Island Shells have a wide variety of uses.

Not only did flames spew from the bird's beak, but even Shura's lance was engulfed in flames, aggressively following behind the pillar of fire as it charged toward Luo.

Below, on the shore, the man riding on the back of the large dog, Ohm, the head of the three priests and a member of the Sky Animal Husbandry family, shook his head. "Unlucky brat, he actually made Shura take this seriously."

In the sky, Luo's lips curled into a smile. "Nonsense."

He gestured with his left hand and placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"ROOM!"

Laugh!

The next instant, the flames in the sky suddenly dispersed.

"What?"

Ohm looked up in astonishment to find the flames spewed out by the Shura mount split in two!

Wrong!

It wasn't just the flames that were split in two!

"This--"

Everything in Shura's eyes was spinning, and he saw his own body flying through the air.

But where is his head?

In what posture did his own head perceive all of this?

There was no time to come up with an answer; Luo casually waved the knife in his hand.

Shura and his bird mount, both once vibrant bodies, had been reduced to fragments.

As the ROOM space dissipated, these fragments fell like rain.

Tsk.

Ian clicked his tongue.

To be honest, Luo's moves look really cruel.

"Shura!!"

Ohm roared instantly, drawing his long, cloud-iron sword from his back, "You brat! What have you done!"

"Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon."

Luo shot forward and crashed into the center of the two priests in an instant.

"Ugh!!"

A priest named Nirvana, biting his upper lip and rolling his eyes, immediately threw a punch.

A gust of wind erupted from his elbow, where a Wind Shell was mounted, greatly increasing the speed of his punches.

At the same time, Ohm leaped off the back of the big dog, and with a flick of his wrist, the already long sword extended like a snake, slashing towards Luo like a bolt of lightning.

And the huge dog at his feet reacted just as quickly, its massive paws slamming down towards Luo in an instant.

In an instant, the two men and the dog joined forces to attack, almost blocking all of Luo's escape routes.

but.

"ROOM!"

Luo laughed wildly, and with a wave of his hand, the spherical space expanded once more.

It completely covered the two priests and the large dog.

Then.

Brush!

Luo vanished in an instant.

The three men's attacks struck empty air, shattering the ground into pieces.

"Disappeared!"

Ohm instantly broke out in a cold sweat. "No!"

He suddenly turned his head.

He knows how to use the Mantra!

Luo was right behind him, his hands crackling with electricity, and with a playful grin, he gave him a gentle push from behind. "Scalpel."

Bang.

Ohm suddenly felt all the strength in his body vanish.

He watched helplessly as his heart gushed out of his chest.

What's this?

Such terrifying power!

But it wasn't over yet. Even after Ohm was defeated, Nirvana and the Great Dog continued to attack Law.

only.

"Cut."

Luo simply swung his sword casually.

There's no need to aim; his attacks are guaranteed to hit within this ROOM space.

There's no need to control its power; as long as you don't have Armament Haki, you can forget about blocking its cutting power.

In the blink of an eye, both Nirvana and the Great Dog were reduced to pieces.

The battle is over.

All the divine weapons fell silent.

The three priests were so easily defeated by this brat?

But immediately, fear appeared on their faces.

Because if the priests are defeated—

The same fear was also evident on the faces of the people on the shore; some had even begun to flee.

Ian looked up.

It's finally here.

Crack!

Thunderbolts rained down from the sky!

A brilliant bolt of lightning struck a tall building in the harbor, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Almost simultaneously, both the divine soldiers and the civilians on the shore knelt down with a smooth, effortless thud.

"Oh?"

Black Maria said with a smile, "Looks like someone very interesting has arrived."

Jack frowned. "Logia? Is it the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

"Hahaha! That's really good!"

A strange laugh echoed from the tall building. It came from a tall, thin figure with pale skin, wearing a headscarf, earlobes that reached his chest, and four golden drums embedded behind his shoulders.

Standing in a posture that could be described as languid, he said, "Since you were able to defeat the priests under my command, I might as well give you a chance."

A slightly arrogant, generally indifferent tone echoed in the harbor.

"Kneel down, mortals, and beg for my forgiveness, then I will spare your lives."

The entire room fell silent.

The natives of Birka were terrified and dared not utter a word.

The people on board the Golden Flying Dragon were also taken aback by this guy's statement.

This guy really dares to say that!

Then.

Hahahaha!

A burst of joyful laughter erupted aboard the Golden Flying Dragon.

The two giants were laughing so hard that tears were streaming down their faces. They were pounding on the deck of the Golden Flying Dragon, as if only in this way could they stop laughing until their bellies burst.

Even Jack, who always maintained a cold and aloof demeanor and acted like a master, couldn't help but chuckle.

Drake, Maria, and the others laughed so hard they were doubled over.

As for Yamato, she was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight. Ian had to hold her to keep her from collapsing to the ground. At this moment, she looked more like a soft, boneless snake than Hancock.

Even Ian's lips curled into a slight smile.

At this moment, words are inadequate; a hearty laugh is enough.

The commotion nearly terrified the local residents of Birka on the shore.

How dare you?

How dare these clueless bastards!

"So,"

High above the building, God Enel's expression turned cold. "Are you rejecting my goodwill?"

"Then go die."

One second he was saying he forgave, the next he was already taking action to kill everyone who displeased him.

This is Enel, the god who does whatever he wants.

Crack!

In the next instant, Enel teleported above the port, his body transforming into lightning, his hand aimed at the Golden Flying Dragon below, "Turn to dust! Disrespecters!"

"Divine Sanction!!"

But it was precisely at this moment that...

Ian looked up. "Alright, that's enough of the clown's performance."

Buzz!!

The moment the azure Inazuma flashed, pitch-black Inazuma shot into the sky.

Enel felt his mind go blank, his body trembled so badly it almost exploded, but then he instantly returned to human form, swept up by black Inazuma and plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing heavily onto the shore.

The entire room fell silent.
