'God' Arrives in God's Country!

A summer breeze blew gently, and the trees were full of flowers. Imu walked along the forest path, looking with great interest at the various strange animals in the enclosure, while a group of staff members knelt around him.

Only a young man, acting as the guide, followed along, trembling.

This is Jaya.

He wanted to go to the 'God's Country,' and the best route was to ascend from the sky above this island.

But since we're already here, we might as well take some time to explore this island with its long history.

Nearly four hundred years ago, Venbula Noland met the Shandia Tribe here and brought the legend of 'Golden City Shandora' back to his homeland kingdom.

Unfortunately, when he returned with his fleet, the other half of the island, the place where 'Golden City of Shandora' was located, had vanished completely. He was eventually sentenced to death by the king for deceiving the emperor and given the title of 'Liar King'.

Speaking of which...

Based on his predecessor's memories, Imu discovers that he was actually the culprit behind this.

Back then, he guided the Knock Up Stream with the aim of erasing the troublesome Shandia Tribe and Shandora from the annals of history.

Ultimately, he felt he had succeeded.

But fate is so ironic. Shandora wasn't actually destroyed; instead, it flew to Sky Island and became the 'God Island.' I'm just a time traveler, otherwise I'd still be completely unaware of this.

"This is Baron Bird from Ramsey Island. It has black and white plumage and a large beak like a seagull. It likes to eat fish, but it also eats bamboo occasionally. There should only be three left in the world."

Listening to the staff member's hesitant explanation, Imu stared speechlessly at the three birds inside.

This is basically just replacing a panda's mouth with a bird's beak and turning its arms into black wings. The animals in this Sea Star World are quite bizarre.

After Sakazuki cleared out 'Mock Town' here, he ordered the Five Elders to set it up as a breeding ground for the Compass Bird.

Later, he felt it was a waste to keep only Compass Bird on such a large island, so he ordered the construction of a Wonder Zoo to house exotic animals from various seas.

In Imu's vision, the Jaya should have various environments and landforms, such as swamps, snowfields, and deserts.

But now is not the right time to do these things.

Therefore, there are only some animals here that are adapted to the summer season.

For example, the Running Duck of Alabasta, the Kung Fu Dugong, the Giant Mantis native to Jaya, the Imitating Baboon of Kuraigana Island, and the Sphinx of Peach Blossom Island, etc.

Of these, Imu was particularly interested in the Kung Fu Dugong and the Imitating Baboon.

One is passionate about practicing Physical Arts and even has the potential to develop Armament Haki, while the other can Imitation Magic a swordsman's Swordsmanship and may even reach the level of a sword master.

"Bring this one and that one out; I, the Holy One, am taking them with me."

On Heart Blood, Imu decided to get two intelligent pets. He then squinted and picked out one of each from the group with the most determined eyes and the strongest aura.

He was a little curious: if they were trained simultaneously, one taught Physical Arts and the other Swordsmanship, and they engaged in daily combat training, who would ultimately be stronger?

Kung Fu Dugong, or Imitating Baboon?

An hour later, the enormous Noah, watched by all the people and animals on Jaya, slowly rose into the higher sky.

As Imu gazed at the Cloud Sea above, the Kung Fu Dugong and the Imitating Baboon he had chosen were having their first battle in the plaza behind him.

This attracted the curious glances of Stussy, Tesoro, and the Kuja Guard.

However, they haven't learned any Physical Arts or Swordsmanship yet, so their fighting skills are only slightly better than those of ordinary wild beasts.

But that's alright. Imu thinks that once the winner is decided, their competitive spirit will naturally be aroused, and then training will be arranged, which will definitely be more effective.

In short, he found himself having some fun again.

Time passed slowly, and Noah, which was as large as an island, had risen to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. A white 'ceiling' appeared above Imu's head.

That is the White Sea, a true Cloud Sea formed by Sea Cloud, where ships can even sail.

However, fish also exist in this White Sea!

Really.

Not long after Imu reached the top of the White Sea, they encountered creatures from different directions.

These creatures are bizarre in shape; some resemble pink Sand Worm with a mouth full of sharp teeth, while others look like blue and black crocodiles. But they all have one thing in common: they are all huge and flat in size.

However, this is a trivial matter, so there's no need for Imu to get involved.

"Prepare!"

Esther, the captain of the Kuja Guard, shouted and quickly raised her silver bow, her sharp eyes aiming at one of the cloud sea monsters charging towards her.

Instantly, the eight female warriors around them drew their bows and nocked their arrows, each fixing their gaze on a target. The vein-like patterns on the arrows faintly glowed with a bright red light as they concentrated their Divine Power.

"Shoot!"

At a command, nine silver meteors, glowing red, shot out of the sky, traversing hundreds of meters like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the sea monster that had been hit burst open like a balloon, creating white waves around Noah, which crashed against the sturdy hull wave after wave.

That's not all.

These female guards, clad in silver armor, had their right hands transformed into blurry afterimages as they frantically fired silver-red arrows. Combined with their Observation Haki sensory abilities, they killed all the sea monsters that tried to approach, keeping them more than 500 meters away.

At the same time.

Five Golden Giants stood guard at different positions on the top deck, ready to strike. The hundred CIPHER POL men in black on the ship were already in position, and countless Holy Land Garrison soldiers were also on high alert.

These people were completely unaware of the situation in the White Sea; who knew if more sea monsters would attack the ship later?

Fortunately, although the White Sea is teeming with life, only these apex predators dare to provoke a behemoth like Noah.

Once most of them had been killed, things returned to calm.

Finally.

Noah burst out of the White Sea, but a white 'ceiling' appeared above them. Imu knew that was the White-White Sea, which was ten thousand meters above the ground.

The 'God's Country' he was looking for was located above the White-White Sea.

"Next, we need to find that Angel Gate."

Imu's Observation Haki swept out like Formless mental radar.

He certainly didn't want to take that Express Shrimp; he just felt that taking off from that position would make it easier to find his destination.

Not long after, he opened his eyes again and, without turning his head, ordered Stussy behind him, "Give the order to turn the ship around and head towards four o'clock!"

"Yes, Saint Nerona!"

Stussy agreed and then took out Den Den Mushi to relay the order to Senior Administrator.

A moment later.

With the aid of hundreds of jets on both sides, Noah slowly turned its enormous hull, resembling a white Divine Beast, and surged towards the Angel Gate on the White Sea.

At this time.

The Skypieans and Shandians, who have been engaged in a bloody war on God Island for hundreds of years, are unaware that their fate is about to undergo a major turning point.

The true 'god' has descended!

A huge thank you to the reader "Cat Listening to Hype Songs" for the 500 Qidian Coin! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!

I've placed my bet!

Kung Fu Dugong and the Imitating Baboon, which do you think will win?
