Former and Current Gods

On the hilltop where the shrine was located, rocks flew everywhere, and black, Haki Inazuma bolts swept Enel's 'thin' body through the air and pierced the ground, causing a deafening explosion.

This scene was witnessed by the three priests who rushed over.

"God!"

The Swamp Trial Priest Gedatsu and the Ball Trial Priest Satori screamed simultaneously, their eyes wide with rage.

This incredibly powerful impact not only shattered the mountain peaks, creating a near-platform-like landscape, but also completely destroyed Enel's shrine, leaving no trace of the entire structure except for faint wood chips and fragments.

Oboro pressed Enel's head down with one arm, his body crackling with black, interwoven lightning, while Enel bled from all seven orifices and his eyes rolled back.

With that one blow, he lost consciousness.

They didn't even have time to unleash their more powerful Devil Fruit abilities.

Upon seeing this, Ohm, the bald priest of the Iron Trial with dark skin and wearing sunglasses, suddenly swung his weapon at Oboro, wanting to help his god. However, the man in the suit riding on Enel simply raised his top hat slowly, revealing a pair of flickering red eyes that looked over like a devil.

Just as the long sword made of iron cloud in Ohm's hand was about to change shape, his body suddenly exploded the next second, squeezed into scattered pieces of flesh and blood by the airflow.

It immediately splashed all over Satori and Gedatsu.

Feeling the warm blood of their companion on their faces, the two surviving priests' pupils dilated in shock, their minds going completely blank.

"This was a private conversation between me and your master...you were not invited."

The intense fear and suffocation made it impossible for the two to see the man in the suit clearly. They could only see that his features were completely black, with only his blood-red eyes scrutinizing them and a set of white teeth showing when he raised the corners of his mouth.

Gedatsu swallowed hard, not daring to make a move.

In his mind, the invincible Enel... was actually defeated so easily by a Blue Sea people, a sinner who had violated the divine laws? He felt like he was dreaming...

Gradually, Oboro released his grip on Enel's arm, and the terrifying aura he had unleashed subsided as he sat Fuza to one side.

He was waiting, waiting for Enel to wake up.

As for the two priests standing to the side, they were completely ignored.

"Can you feel it?"

On the other side, on Angel Beach, Dom turned to look at the towering mountains on the distant horizon and said calmly.

He asked Yurivich, who was standing next to him.

"Um."

Yuri gave a curt reply.

It's the captain's Haki... and it's quite powerful.

It seems that the god of this Skypiea is not so easy to deal with.

Of the group, Dom probably understood Oboro's strength best. He knew that there weren't many people on the high seas who could make Oboro take them seriously; at the very least, they had to be at the level of a Shichibukai. And to get the captain to fight to the death, he would have to be on par with Shiki. Although the two weren't on the battlefield, judging from the 'information' they sensed, it was quite rare for Oboro to unleash such a level of Haki.

Dozens of meters away, Rob Lucci had one hand in his pocket and the other hanging down naturally.

A finger with blood dripping from it...

At his feet lay countless lifeless corpses.

The White Berets were completely wiped out.

He single-handedly dealt with the guards who rushed to the island to provide support.

As for Kaka and Dorans... they didn't contribute much at all, they were just helping out.

However... the battle is not over.

An old man dressed in gleaming silver armor, wielding a knight's lance, rode his mount from afar and landed above the Hell Pirates. Upon seeing the corpses and bloodstains scattered across the beach, the old man's expression changed drastically, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed rage.

Ganful, the former god of Skypiea.

"You... did all of this?"

Ganford shouted in a cold voice.

However, none of the five people on the ground paid him any attention.

Rob Lucci merely turned his head slightly and stared at Ganford.

Dom and Yuri remained unmoved.

Dorans was laughing heartily, rambling on about the frailty of the Skypiea Guardians.

Kaka curiously fiddled with the various peculiar seashells that had fallen from the beret members.

Rob Lucci glanced at Dom and Yuri, then looked at Ganful, who was about to make a move, and said indifferently, "Get lost... If you don't get in the way, you'll still be alive." His meaning was clear, and it also had a sense of warning to the other party, suggesting that although Ganful and his group were dangerous, they were too lazy to cause unnecessary bloodshed as long as they didn't 'interfere'.

Rob Lucci realized that the old man above him was very strong, unlike the guards who had been killed before. However... if he provoked Dom, and especially Yurivich, to make a move, then the old man would definitely be the one to die. He also didn't like to get entangled in a fight with the other party, after all, some of his methods couldn't be revealed yet.

"You bunch of One Piece!"

However, for Ganford, no matter how powerful the enemy was, he had no reason to back down.

He remains the god of Skypiea, and even after Enel power, he has always been silently protecting the island.

He only noticed something unusual about Angel Island today, so he rushed over to take a look... He didn't expect his intuition to be right.

Normally, Enel would not allow him to set foot in his 'territory'.

They had already appeared and punished him and the group of One Piece in the name of divine retribution. The fact that they haven't appeared yet means that Enel is likely overwhelmed and in trouble.

With a deep shout, the old man lowered his gaze, stepped on Pierre's back, pulled the reins, and shot towards the murderer, Rob Lucci, with the speed of an arrow released from a bow.

Rob Lucci frowned, his face showing impatience.

Do you think this old man is a fool... does he really have to throw his life away?

Impact Lance!

Ganford's offensive was formidable, and his marksmanship was exceptionally sharp.

Despite his advanced age and frail appearance, his strength as the previous god of Skypiea is beyond doubt.

Moreover, he was acquainted with the One Piece Roger.

The oppressive aura emanating from above instantly tensed Rob Lucci's body, assuming a fighting stance.

However, as Ganford swooped down, the white sand on the ground was churned up like waves and exploded.

A dark shadow, like a cloud, bounced and instantly stopped behind Ganford.

The old man's pupils dilated, and the light in front of him suddenly dimmed.

He sensed the monster's breathing behind him and... a cruel, bloodthirsty aura.

"Snort."

Upon seeing this, Rob Lucci felt a sense of relief.

It seems... he doesn't need to take action.

He had already warned them... Having been with the Hell Pirates for so long and experienced so much, he had pretty much figured out the personalities of each member. Because Dom was one of the first to join God Slayer, he held an 'extraordinary' position on the ship; even without the title of vice-captain, he temporarily had authority over them. As for the other one, Yurivich, he was cold and taciturn, rarely interacting with them... but he was definitely a complete madman.

A thirst for battle, a thirst for killing powerful prey... a thirst for thrills and challenges.

Yurivich's madness was evident during the fierce battle with the Shiki's forces. He almost single-handedly swept away a large number of the Shiki's men, a situation far more dangerous than when he and Dom faced the ship's doctor and the gorilla. Moreover, at the most critical moment, Yurivich was the first to jump out, unaffected by the Shiki's aura, and dared to launch an attack... although he was almost killed.

According to Rob Lucci's judgment, this suddenly appearing old man had reached a point where he could arouse the monster's interest.

As expected...

Bang! Yuri twisted his waist, using the immense force to swing his large sword covered in Armament Haki, slashing towards Gan Fall with terrifying force.

The white-bearded old man had no time to turn around and block, so he could only pull on the reins and make Pierre dodge quickly... But he had clearly underestimated the power of the One Piece's sword and the range of his slashes.

Three crescent-shaped slashes descended from the sky.

It not only swept past Ganford and his mount, but also crashed onto the beach, leaving three deep ravines in the ground that stretched all the way to the street on the shore, destroying an entire area of houses.

The powerful blade strike also hit Ganford's armor.

The clattering was deafening.

Blood floated in the air, and the former god of the Skypiea, along with his horse, was sent flying in another direction like a baseball hit hard, eventually crashing into the sea.

A single slash nearly fatally wounded Ganford.

The members of the Hell Pirates are also growing.

It's not just about the teachings and guidance from Long; the battles in the 'high-level games' also enrich their experience and knowledge.

Especially someone like Yurivich, who has personally fought against the Shiki.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect Senior Yuri to actually make a move. He's in big trouble now."

Kaka laughed.

Yurivich is currently the undisputed number one fighter in their Hell Pirates.

Yurivich landed like a cannonball, hoisting his broadsword onto his shoulder, his excited gaze sweeping over the calm sea.

The turbulent sea clouds gradually calmed down.

After waiting for a while, Yuri's eyes turned cold.

Did they run away?

Kaka also glanced at the sea and muttered something to himself.

Yes, the old man somehow managed to slip away from the sea of clouds.
