"God?"
Upon hearing Enel's words, Gion curled her lip and said disdainfully.
"What a weak god!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gion picked up the whip that was binding Enel and said to Lucci, who was slowly getting up not far away.
"Lucci, do you still have the strength?"
Of course!
Faced with Gion's question, Lucci shook his head fiercely, his tousled hair moving on its own, sweeping away the black marks on his face.
After using Seimei Kikan, Lucci quickly regained his strength, and then he said regretfully.
"This guy's strength isn't really that great. If he were on the Grand Line, he'd probably only have a bounty of around 500 million."
But Logia abilities, especially the super-fast Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability.
"Without Armament Haki, I'm such a hassle to deal with!"
"Yes!"
After hearing Lucci's words, Gion nodded slightly.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have used Seastone to bind him immediately."
The speed of Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is at least on par with Borsalino's, and his movement is not as straightforward and predictable as that of the Pika Pika no Mi.
If we don't use Seastone to subdue him immediately, then as long as he's determined to escape, none of us will be able to catch him!
At this point, Gion gently shook Enel was being carried.
"So, Lucci, have your men find a set of Seastone Handcuffs and shackles!"
"Receive!"
Lucci nodded decisively, then raised his right hand, and soon, handcuffs and shackles were brought over by members of the Black Ice Terrace.
Meeting Enel's murderous gaze, Gion handcuffed and shackled him, then Gion in satisfaction.
"Okay, you can rest assured now. I'll take him to the adults right away."
As for you, I'll have to continue guarding the Dark Bird Ship. You need to develop your Armament Haki as soon as possible, otherwise you'll be in a very passive position."
"I understand, Gion- nee."
Lucci nodded and responded to Gion.
"I've already grasped the essence of Armament Haki, and I expect to make a breakthrough soon!"
"Okay, good luck. I'm off."
Gion smiled at Lucci, then directly picked up the Thunder Drum embedded in Enel's back.
With her feet Geppo touching the ground, Gion, carrying Enel, Luffy towards the distant Holy Land.
Meanwhile, in the direction of the Holy Land.
As blinding flashes of lightning erupted from the distant Dark Bird Ship, Gion charged off at the first opportunity.
Yi Xiao quickly said to Gawain.
"My lord, if that lightning bolt truly possessed the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, then Gion alone might not be able to achieve a complete victory!"
After all, that's Logia that's even stronger than those of the three Navy Admiral!
After saying that, Yi Xiao immediately controlled gravity and floated into the sky, then rushed towards the Dark Bird Ship.
Meanwhile, standing to the side of Rayleigh and Gawain, McKinley from the God's Squad spoke to Gawain with a look of terror on his face.
"Wait, that's Thunder!!!"
Thunder is the symbol of God Enel. You have been discovered, and he has already boarded your ship!
"Hurry up and leave! You can't possibly be his match. God is the embodiment of thunder; no one can defeat lightning itself!!!"
"Hehe..."
No sooner had McKinley finished speaking than Rayleigh gave him a nonchalant smile, and then chuckled and teased him.
"Don't be so absolute, young man. Even if he really is lightning itself, with Gion and Issho attacking at the same time, it would be enough... Huh?"
Rayleigh had only finished speaking when he was surprised to see that Yixiao, who had just rushed out a short distance, actually turned back the way he came.
A smile appeared on his face as he landed back beside Gawain, then muttered something helplessly.
"As expected, not every Logia Fruit user can reach the level of Admiral. I overestimated him."
The Gion executives... is over!
At this point, Yi Xiao revealed an amusing smile.
"I really didn't expect that guy to be controlled by Gion in just one move. It seems he's never seen Armament Haki before..."
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh raised his hand and rubbed his hair.
"It's true, this is Sky Island after all, isolated from the world."
So, because he'd never seen Armament Haki, even with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, arguably the strongest Logia ability, he couldn't even withstand a single attack?
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh chuckled and patted McKinley on the shoulder.
"Hey, your so-called god has been taken care of, so could you tell us the story of what's happened on Sky Island over the years?"
"God... God Enel has been defeated?!?"
McKinley shook his head in disbelief.
"How could this be? Don't joke around like that. The ones who were defeated were probably just the guards who went to check on your ship!"
How could Enel possibly lose? He's lightning! No weapon can harm him! He's invincible...?!
Thump!
Thump!
Glug glug...
Just as McKinley was saying this, Gion had rushed in from afar, casually tossed Enel next to Gawain.
"Ugh!!!"
After a scream, Enel, his face slammed to the ground, weakly rolled over and glared fiercely at everyone around him.
"I am a god, the embodiment of thunder! What tricks have you used, damn it!"
"Why can you seize thunder? Why can you even control lightning?!"
"Shut up!"
Gion landed lightly next to Gawain, then kicked Enel in the face.
After the kick, Enel rolled his eyes and fell silent.
At the same time, Gion nodded to Gawain.
"My lord, this is Enel, the current god of Sky Island, who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
What a pity that such a powerful Devil Fruit was eaten by someone who doesn't even understand Armament Haki!
In short, I've captured him. What should we do with him?
After speaking, Gion waited to look into Gawain's eyes.
Facing Gion's gaze, Gawain gently pointed to Enel on the ground.
"This Devil Fruit... I admire it!"
"Oh?"
Suddenly, Rayleigh perked up.
"Little Gawain, have you made up your mind yet?!"
"Certainly!"
Gawain nodded heavily, then went to Enel and pulled off Enel's headscarf.
Holding up the golden, matronly-looking Big Mom beneath Enel's headscarf, Gawain spoke expectantly.
"If I hadn't encountered this Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I might not have been in such a hurry to eat Devil Fruit. After Devil Fruit, if the fruit isn't good enough, it won't do me any good!"
But then Rumble-Rumble Fruit...!
At this point, Gawain fell silent, and in his mind, one blueprint after another began to unfold.
But he wasn't in a hurry to reveal those plans; instead, he gently patted Enel's face.
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is already one of the best Devil Fruit on this ocean, I have no reason to give it up!"
At this point, Gawain gently waved to Kuma.
"Kuma, if you strike a person at top speed, how long would it take for them to reach Vegapunk's island?"
You must have been to that island, right? After all, you and Vegapunk have worked together before!
In response to Gawain's question, Kuma nodded slightly.
"The master is right, I know the location of that island. If I strike it with all my might, I think..."
"The person I patted should arrive in about two days!"
Upon hearing this, Gawain pondered for a moment, then looked at Yi Xiao again.
"Issou, if you use your gravity to accelerate the Kuma, could you make it even faster?"
"It should be feasible. I can change the direction of gravity and turn the lateral movement caused by the Kuma's slap into a fall!"
He smiled lightly and said.
After receiving the answer, Gawain nodded knowingly, and then he reached out and patted Enel's face.
After Enel was woken up, he immediately wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Gawain drew his sword and held the blade in front of Enel's eyes.
"Enel, I'll ask you a question, but how many years have you been eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!"
"Five...five years..." Enel answered nervously.
"Five years? Hah, what a waste!"
Gawain said coldly, then sheathed his sword and threw Enel at Kuma.
Kuma reached out and grabbed Enel's Thunder Drum, while Gawain continued to ask.
"Kalifa, any news from Kaku lately?"
"Of course, sir. Kaku returned to us from Vegapunk eleven days ago."
Kalifa answered softly.
Upon hearing this, Gawain pressed for an answer.
"So, the process of extracting the Slow-Slow Fruit went smoothly, right?"
"According to Kaku, everything went very smoothly; Vegapunk's technical skills are trustworthy!"
Kalifa nodded.
Hearing this, Gawain took a deep breath, then nodded to Kuma and Yi Xiao.
"Issou, Kuma, I'm entrusting the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to you!"
I hope you can get to Vegapunk's side as quickly as possible and make sure he retrieves the Rumble-Rumble Fruit intact!
After that, I hope you can return the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to me as soon as possible!
At this point, Gawain came up to Yi Xiao and gently hugged her.
Then, he went to the Kuma's side and raised his fist at Kuma.
After Kuma extended his large hand and bumped fists with Gawain.
Gawain spoke solemnly to the two of them.
"Just now, when I saw the lightning Inazuma on the Dark Bird Ship, my heart was already pounding with excitement!"
In most mythologies, thunder's power holds a near-kingly status!
In that instant, countless plans related to lightning flashed through my mind, and I didn't want those plans to fall through!
Therefore, my attitude towards this Rumble-Rumble Fruit that has fallen from the sky at this moment is that I am determined to obtain it!
At this point, Gawain took a deep breath, and then solemnly addressed Yi Xiao and Kuma Xiong.
"Now, my future is in your hands, so I hope you will think carefully!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Receive!"
Yixiao and Kuma made their promises in unison, and then Kuma acted without hesitation.
He lightly stomped his feet on the ground, and his shoes shattered instantly. At the same time, he held Enel in his right hand and placed Issho on his shoulder with his left.
"Rest assured, Lord Gawain, with Kuma and I working together, even if the Four Emperors try to seize the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I will make sure they taste the power of Gravity Blade!"
With a smile, Kuma Xiong solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Gawain, and then slammed his right foot hard into the ground.
The moment his feet hit the ground, the three of them were engulfed in a huge Cat Claws -shaped cloud of air and sent flying into the distance.
They had barely flown a short distance when Yixiao drew his sword.
After a light slash, the change in the direction of gravity caused their speed to increase even further.
In just a moment, no one could see them anymore!
After they disappeared, Hancock went to Gawain's side.
Hancock gently grasped Gawain's hand and whispered words of comfort.
"Sir, don't worry. With Mr. Yuzuru and Kuma here, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit will be fine."
"Yes, that's right, there won't be any problems."
Gawain nodded, then gently squeezed Hancock's little paw before releasing Hancock and waving to the others.
"Alright, let's not worry about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit anymore. Let's deal with the Sky Island in front of us now!"
Enel is clearly gone, so is Sky Island currently in a state without a god?
So, the Sky Island is now a country that has lost its king?
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Jinbe, who was standing next to him, suddenly laughed.
"Haha, a country without a king will be wiped out, so the Sky Island is now a no-man's land!"
"Yes, hehehehe, my lord, let me plant our flag at the highest point of this Sky Island first!"
Shiryu looked at the Temple of God not far away with a cold smile. Behind the Temple of God, a vine that stretched straight into the sky was extremely conspicuous.
So Shiryu drew his sword and looked at Gawain expectantly.
And Gawain.
He lightly pressed the button twice in the air.
"Having just committed such a great massacre on Jaya, even if it's just for rest, we should try to minimize the fighting for now."
At least before we pick up a knife, we should understand the social structure and cultural composition of Sky Island."
As he spoke, Gawain waved to McKinley, who was not far away.
"Mr. McKinley, when Rayleigh said he knew Gan Fall, you were the only one who told Rayleigh to run away quickly."
Based on that alone, you already deserve our kindness.
Come, follow us and let's take a stroll through that Temple of God. And while you're at it, tell us about the good, the bad, and the changes that have occurred on Sky Island over the past few months.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain walked forward on his own, and the others immediately followed behind Gawain.
They walked among the scattered, unconscious members of the God's Squad, and as they ascended the steps leading to the Temple of God, McKinley remained standing there, speechless for a long time.
You can't blame him for being bewildered; his worldview was completely turned upside down...
Seeing McKinley's dazed expression, Grandpa Rayleigh chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Young man, what are you thinking? Didn't you hear my captain's order? Hurry up and catch up!"
"The ship... the ship... the ship... the ship... Captain...!!!"
McKinley was startled. He had just snapped out of his daze and quickly asked Rayleigh the question.
"Who exactly is your captain?!"
That's Enel! And he treated Enel like a Sky Fish out to be slaughtered!
Hearing McKinley's incredulous voice, Rayleigh laughed and slapped McKinley on the back of the head.
"How can I describe my captain to you? Haha."
Let me put it this way!
The gods you speak of, whether it's my old friend Gan Fall from the past, or this Enel of today.
They are at best just your own little kings on Sky Island.
But on that vast ocean beneath your Sky Island, my captain is the one most deserving to be called a god, ha ha!!!
Even if he doesn't qualify for that status yet, I estimate it won't be long!
With his intelligence and cunning, his eloquence and insight, plus the legendary strongest Logia Devil Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which he is about to obtain!
What's more, he has a group of old men like myself assisting him.
Hahaha!!!"
Amidst the laughter, Rayleigh lightly kicked McKinley's butt, and the guy immediately snapped out of his daze and jogged to catch up with Gawain's pace.
Just as everyone ascended the long steps of the Temple of God, more strangely shaped guards with wings and wielding various weapons rushed out from the distant steps.
