Invading God's Island (Seeking Votes)

Not long afterward.

Hancock and the others had fully recovered from that Divine Punishment.

After all, a mere thirty million volts of lightning was hardly enough to kill Devil Fruit users like them.

"That bastard actually dared to...!"

Rumble!!

"What's the big deal? He can fly, that's all!"

Crackle—snap!

Gorud kept grumbling as she stared overhead when a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from above and struck beside her.

"Alright, Gorud, let's endure it for now. In the end, who knows who'll suffer worse!" Sonia consoled Gorud.

As long as Norse gets enough sleep, he'll wake up. And when that happens, what does it matter if he's a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user?

Norse's Sun Fruit can still devour and crush anything. And if Norse activates his strongest mode, the power of Demon Back, a single Godslayer Strike will be enough to kill that guy instantly.

One had to know that in a head-on close-quarters fight, even a powerful, muscle-bound fighter like Red Fist had been unable to defeat Norse.

"I know that, but his behavior is just so damn irritating! It makes me so mad!"

Gorud continued glaring at the Ark Maxim overhead, her eyes filled with boundless fury. She wanted nothing more than to crush it.

In truth, they had all figured it out by now. Their opponent was monitoring every move they made.

He was using Norse's life to threaten them, demanding that they destroy every rebel on God's Island. If they refused to do as he said, he would kill Norse.

Hancock, meanwhile, was as cold as ice.

She was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

But for the sake of letting Norse sleep a little longer, she did not mind being threatened and used.

As long as it was for Norse, she could endure the humiliation for now. But once Norse had rested and awakened, no one would be able to stop her from killing Enel.

"Elder Sister, God's Island must be up ahead!"

As they sailed across the White Sea aboard the Kuja Pirates, they spotted an island covered in forest, seemingly floating amid the sea of clouds.

They were shocked and found it utterly unbelievable. Why was there an island at an altitude of ten thousand meters? Could it also have been caused by Golden Lion Shiki's Float-Float power?

But none of that mattered anymore.

They had no mood to investigate or think about it. The only thing they needed to do now was invade this island and kill every resisting thing that appeared before them.

"Doo doo doo..."

At that moment, a group of Divine Soldiers rushed out from God's Island.

They had mastered the White Sea's unique currents and rode dial-powered skiffs resembling handrail pulleys beneath their feet. With booming doo-doo-doo sounds, they quickly surrounded the Kuja Pirates.

"Stop, Blue Sea people. Without the god's permission, you are not allowed to trespass here."

A winged Divine Soldier held a Sound Dial in his hand. By speaking into the dial's opening to record his words, he could replay them afterward, and the reproduced sound would instantly be amplified more than tenfold.

Slave Arrow!

Hancock had no desire to waste any more time on a group of ants and weaklings. She immediately unleashed her ultimate move, not caring whether her opponents were attracted to her or not.

In any case, Slave Arrow ignored all special conditions. As long as it struck its target, that target would be petrified—whether it was a lifeless stone or a living creature.

Hundreds upon thousands of Slave Arrows shot toward the dozens of people in the White Sea. So what if their skiffs were equipped with Accelerating Wind Dials? Everything around them lay within Hancock's Observation Haki, allowing her to swiftly predict the directions in which they would dodge.

Thus, after a single round of attacks, only a few Divine Soldiers remained, fleeing in panic. They were no match for Hancock at all—useless grunts who would die no matter how many came.

At that moment, Enel stood aboard the Ark Maxim and watched everything below with an evil smile. He muttered conspiratorially to himself:

"Blue Sea people truly are idiots. They're always so easy to deceive. Once your hands are stained with blood and sin, I, Enel, will kill you in the name of the Thunder God, openly and justifiably. From then on, I will become God's Island's true Thunder God, adored and respected by all. Yehahaha."

Meanwhile, Norse had been hung from a golden pillar by Enel, his hands and feet bound by seamless golden rings.

Unfortunately, Norse was still unconscious and asleep, unaware of everything happening in the world beyond his closed eyes.

After all, he had maintained elemental form for several hours, unleashing unprecedented light and heat to forcibly break through a vortex storm more than a hundred miles wide. As a result, every last bit of his stamina had been drained dry.

Because of that, waking up would not be easy. It might take a whole night, or perhaps until tomorrow. In any case, once he slept until his consciousness returned, he might wake up immediately.

Below, in the White Sea, Hancock and the others had already charged onto God's Island.

But another group of Divine Soldiers emerged from the forest.

This time, they were led by one Divine Soldier Commander, two Vice Commanders, and more than forty Divine Soldiers.

Not only did they carry weapons, they also wielded several rare types of Dials.

For example, Flame Dials, Heat Dials, Flash Dials, Water Dials, Slash Dials, Impact Dials, Reject Dials, and even Ancient Dials with terrifying destructive power.

The sheep-like Divine Soldier Commander suddenly bleated, "Baa~~ Blue Sea people, you have already committed obstruction of official duties, environmental destruction, destruction of Sky Island property, intimidation, and illegal invasion on God's Island.

"Now, God's Island's Divine Soldiers will arrest you with full force. If you confess and admit your mistakes, we will judge you leniently. But if you insist on resisting, then don't blame us for capturing you and subjecting you directly to Cloud Drifting punishment."

"What the hell? I've never seen such a long-winded bird-man."

Sonia immediately grew impatient. These people were talking law to pirate criminals, even daring to use the law to restrict their freedom. It had completely stirred her murderous fury.

With killing intent about to erupt, any so-called mercy could go to hell.

She said dangerously, "Since the Kuja Pirates are here, you should have started trembling long ago and obediently given up any resistance!"

The next moment, Sonia directly used the Snake-Snake Fruit's power. With her snake hair possessing her body, she instantly took on the form of an eight-headed serpent, as though her hair had turned into eight giant snakes.

Norse had once said that although they were transformed from hair, Sonia's move resembled the power of Life Return and required extremely precise control.

Just like that, Sonia charged toward more than a dozen Divine Soldiers nearby.

At that moment, her body had grown to over ten meters tall, and even her feet had transformed into snakes.

"Unforgivable! I hate laws more than anything. I didn't expect such a rotten system even ten thousand meters in the sky. You really all deserve to die!"

Gorud did not remain silent either. She immediately took on the Snake-Snake Fruit: King Cobra form, transforming into a cobra-woman—a half-human, half-king cobra form.

Furthermore, her neck could swell outward like a king cobra's to block enemy attacks, and she could release deadly poison from her mouth.

Then she attacked the dozen or so people. Her body was likewise more than ten meters tall, and yellow snakefire suddenly ignited amid her orange hair, carrying deadly poison.

She said, "My venom can even corrode steel. Do you ants still dare to resist?"

Hancock, meanwhile, dealt with another dozen people.

They included one Divine Soldier Commander and two Vice Divine Soldier Commanders. The Dials in those three men's hands were far more powerful.

For example, Slash Dials, Flash Dials, and Impact Dials.

Any one of those three Dials, if used on Hancock, would inflict severe injuries on her. They absolutely could not be underestimated.

But Hancock had such a great figure—she was definitely going to look amazing in battle!

At the very least, those long, fair legs would be on display.

The fun was in making each other's hearts race.
