Sweeping Through the Divine Officials

"Enel's lightning?" Nami and Robin asked simultaneously, their faces filled with confusion.

"Oh, right. The god on this Skypiea is named Enel. He is a lightning human who ate the Goro Goro no Mi. He possesses great power; if he didn't rely so heavily on his Devil Fruit and knew how to use Armament Haki, he would definitely be at the level of an Admiral." Lu Zhuo said with a shrug, looking indifferent.

"Ad... Admiral?!" Robin's delicate body trembled. As if thinking of something, a flash of panic crossed her eyes.

"Don't worry. With those two weaknesses, he doesn't quite measure up to an Admiral. Even if I couldn't defeat him, it would be very difficult for him to beat me." Seeing Nami's worried expression, Lu Zhuo laughed, dispelling her concerns.

"Besides, this guy's lightning is excellent for tempering the body. Natural lightning is too terrifying and difficult to control, but this guy's is something I can manipulate. And as an unexpected bonus, after posing as a god, I found my swordsmanship has improved again. That's a pleasant surprise."

Lu Zhuo was in a good mood, so he spoke a bit more. However, these words left Nami and Robin shocked beyond measure.

Using lightning to temper the body? Only Lu Zhuo could come up with that! And the fact that posing as a god could improve his swordsmanship made it seem as if this man didn't belong to this world at all; everything about him was more bizarre than the last.

Nami and Robin didn't know that they had inadvertently guessed the truth about Lu Zhuo—he really wasn't from this world.

But this secret would never be known by anyone; even the woman he loved most, Lu Zhuo would never tell. Perhaps one day, when he stood at the pinnacle of this world, he would reveal everything.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhuo's mouth, and his right hand gently wrapped around Nami's slender waist. He tried to reach for Robin with his left hand, but she dodged it lightly, leaving Lu Zhuo feeling helpless.

After traveling on the Sea Cloud for a while, Lu Zhuo's group finally stepped onto Upper Yard. Although Conis was very fearful and worried, after Lu Zhuo issued an order in the name of a god, she obediently followed the three of them to Upper Yard.

Looking at the jungle before him, Lu Zhuo's expression turned cold as he walked into the depths.

Ordeal of Swamp, Ordeal of Balls, Ordeal of String, Ordeal of Iron?

Looking at the four paths ahead, Lu Zhuo's expression darkened, and he scolded, "To dare issue ordeals to a god—you shall receive my punishment!"

With that, he gripped his sword with both hands, his arms trembling slightly.

Charging up, Void-Breaking Draw Sword Strike!

A massive sword beam erupted suddenly, instantly sweeping across the four paths ahead and destroying them completely. The beam did not stop, continuing to sweep forward and leveling countless towering trees in its path!

Amidst the deafening roar, the entire island of Upper Yard shook, and the people of Skypiea looked toward this direction in horror.

"What was that?"

"Is someone destroying the holy land of Upper Yard?"

"No... I heard another god has arrived to challenge our god. Could this be a war of gods?"

Watching the continuously roaring Upper Yard, the Skypieans whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with awe and terror.

On the other side, the War Demon Wyper looked at Upper Yard with a cold expression and said, "What is happening there? Are the Blue Sea people actually this strong? Are they fighting Enel?"

"No... that's not right. Enel shouldn't have made a move yet, or the commotion would be even greater. While they are fighting, we can take back the holy land of Upper Yard in one fell swoop!"

The eyes of the Shandia warriors burned with fanaticism. Wyper sneered and waved his hand.

"Go! Let us take back our homeland!"

"Is... is this his true power? So... so strong. Is he truly a god?" Conis looked at Lu Zhuo, who was standing calmly and slowly sheathing his sword, her eyes filled with shock.

At this moment, four figures darted out from the depths of the jungle, looking extremely disheveled.

"What is the situation? A natural disaster? Or did the god make a move?" Ohm swung his blade to cut down a branch attacking him, saying in surprise.

Satori's round head showed a look of terror, "No, it's not the god. It's that Blue Sea person. His... his sword..."

Noticing these four, Lu Zhuo looked over coldly.

So his Observation Haki has reached this level, being able to know what happened here from over a hundred meters away.

Thinking this, Lu Zhuo walked slowly toward the four. That full-power attack had consumed some stamina, but after training on Skypiea for a while, his physical fitness had improved to another level, so it was not unbearable.

"You four, who is the god here?" Looking at the four coldly, Lu Zhuo's words carried a chill that could freeze the heart, and his sword intent had already been released.

This... this pressure... The four felt their breathing become difficult. It seemed as if Lu Zhuo had transformed into a sword capable of piercing the sky; that aura made it hard for the four to even lift their heads.

"Audacious... you dare offend the god... you will be... ah!" Shura spoke with difficulty, yet his tone remained arrogant, still treating Lu Zhuo as a lowly mortal. Lu Zhuo had no patience for such blind fools.

The other three watched in horror as a cross-shaped blood mist suddenly erupted from Shura's chest, and he fell straight to the ground.

And over there, Lu Zhuo's hand holding the sword seemed to have moved just once.

"So... so fast!"

All three possessed Observation Haki, and although they had sensed Lu Zhuo's strike, they were completely unable to dodge it!

Observation Haki was not omnipotent; it was merely an ability to predict attacks, not an ability to avoid them. If the opponent's speed reached the extreme, it was very difficult to block.

"It seems none of you three is that god. Then, since you were disrespectful to this god just now, you shall also receive punishment!" Lu Zhuo looked at the three terrified individuals and said coldly.

"No... you, you dare attack the priests? You will receive the god's punishment, you..." Ohm said in terror, but suddenly choked on his words, because Lu Zhuo also called himself a god. A god giving another god divine punishment? That seemed a bit hard to understand.

"Your god? I am looking for him right now. I want to see if this guy is even qualified to call himself a god." Lu Zhuo said coldly, then swung his sword three more times, cutting the remaining three priests to the ground.

These priests, who were powerful in the original story, were so vulnerable.

In fact, that was true. Against ordinary people, they were indeed powerful. But Lu Zhuo was a true master swordsman. Although he was a novice-level master swordsman, he would not fear even a high-level master swordsman!

If Enel wanted to deal with his four priests, the result would be the same—instant kills.

Because the gap in strength was simply too great. Throughout Skypiea, Enel, who had eaten the Goro Goro no Mi, possessed power that completely surpassed everyone else, which was why he took the title of god.

If it weren't for Luffy, the rubber man, being a natural counter, combined with the protagonist's halo, everyone else combined wouldn't be able to defeat Enel!

This was the gap between high-level combat power and low-level combat power!
