Marine Headquarters.
Unlike the warm atmosphere aboard the Demon King Pirates.
The atmosphere here was utterly terrible.
Sengoku looked at the little dog and little monkey in his office, feeling foul.
"Neither of you can undo this Devil Fruit ability with your Haki?"
Akainu and Kizaru nodded.
"Strange. In theory, as long as one's Haki is strong enough, it should be able to negate a Devil Fruit's effects."
He looked at the two of them doubtfully and confirmed,
"Can you still use your abilities and Haki?"
Glug, glug.
Hearing this, Akainu stood upright on his hind legs as magma flowed over his body.
Whoosh!
Kizaru transformed into a shining golden monkey, darting back and forth like the wind.
He even condensed a light sword in his hand.
Soon.
A pig walked in.
He was wearing a helmet. It was Sentomaru.
"Damn it, I never thought even the old man would end up like this!"
After speaking, Sentomaru tossed out two new helmets with his pig hoof.
Akainu and Kizaru put them on in perfect sync.
"These are Animal Voice Helmets made by Vegapunk.
As long as you obtain the corresponding lineage factors, you can create a device that understands animal voices.
Even pigs can talk!"
After saying that, Sentomaru suddenly felt that something was off.
Sengoku said nothing.
Akainu turned around with a fierce glare.
"My, my, I never thought we'd be played like this. That guy's ability is truly terrifying."
Kizaru complained as he leaped onto a chair, picked up a cup of tea, and calmly took a sip.
"At least Haki and Devil Fruit abilities can still be used. It seems there isn't much of an impact."
Akainu said, trying to comfort himself.
"Don't show yourselves for now. I'll keep thinking of a solution."
After speaking, Sengoku grew troubled again.
What a headache. It was truly giving him a headache.
Ye Zhuo had first slaughtered Celestial Dragons, then taken the Pirate Empress, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, from Water 7. He had also severely wounded two Admirals and destroyed two Buster Calls.
There were now countless rumors across the seas, keeping him awake night after night.
Just then.
One of his subordinates rushed in to report.
"B-Bad news! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the Demon King Pirates we were tracking and monitoring just flew into the sky!"
"What?!"
Sengoku really wanted to curse.
He had even considered whether it was possible to cooperate with Ye Zhuo and have him undo the Devil Fruit's effects.
But if he did that, what price would he have to pay?
Far from Water 7.
Ye Zhuo woke from his sleep, his belly round from eating.
The scenery aboard the treasure ship was quite nice.
There were green plants, warehouses of all sizes, cabins, cannons, and all kinds of brand-new devices.
"Captain Ye Zhuo!"
The crew members all looked toward him.
Following the Pirate Empress's orders, ordinary crew members aboard this ship could only address Ye Zhuo as Captain Ye Zhuo.
The affectionate title of captain belonged to her alone.
Kalifa wore leather gloves and carried a small hammer. It seemed she was genuinely learning shipwright skills.
Ye Zhuo had long thought that Iron Body combined with Finger Pistol would be excellent for hammering nails.
"Captain!"
Kalifa looked at Ye Zhuo. They had drifted at sea for a day already.
At sea, where they went was up to the captain.
"To the sky!"
To complete the side quest, Ye Zhuo had to fly into the sky.
"The sky?"
Kalifa froze. The ship had no wings, so how could it fly?
"By flying, of course!"
Ye Zhuo exerted force.
The Demon King immediately floated up from the sea.
The Pirate Empress rested both hands on the railing, her eyes never leaving Ye Zhuo.
"We're flying into the sky now. Does that mean the captain wants to receive heaven's blessing for marrying me?"
"You're reading too much into it!"
Ye Zhuo glanced at Hancock and flew at full speed.
The Rooster Talisman combined with the Rabbit Talisman worked remarkably well.
In an instant, they broke through the sea of clouds.
They successfully landed on the White Sea!
Whoosh!
Everything before them became wondrous.
There was even a massive island in the sky!
Shandora, also known as Jaya Island.
Ye Zhuo originally had no idea where their ship had sailed to on the sea.
But flying directly beside Jaya Island was indeed quite miraculous.
Because soil was especially precious to Sky Island.
The struggle over this island had continued for centuries.
"Sky Island, a place said to exist above the heavens and contain an ancient civilization!"
The Pirate Empress stood beside Ye Zhuo, and even Kalifa could not help feeling shocked.
"Let's begin the adventure."
Ye Zhuo stepped onto this island, which the people of Sky Island regarded as forbidden.
The crew quickly disembarked, striding into the forest on their long legs.
For women who had mastered Haki and excelled in swordsmanship and archery.
Other than Enel and the Four Priests, no creature here could stop them.
Ye Zhuo strolled through the forest and suddenly looked a little baffled.
"How should I greet Enel?"
After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something.
Enel's Observation Haki, combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, could form Mantra and monitor the entire Sky Island.
As long as he spoke cleverly and offered a polite greeting, he would surely stir Enel's hospitable spirit!
"Enel, you're a hammer of a god! Grandpa Ye is here!"
With one polite greeting.
A bolt of lightning greeted him in return.
Boom!
Seeing the pillar of lightning above his head.
Ye Zhuo casually dodged it.
It was only Observation Haki. As if he didn't know how to use it.
[Ding!] [Side quest completed: Polite Greeting] [Quest reward: Lightning Chi · Complete Version]
A stream of chi poured into his body.
Fortunately, the Tiger Talisman kept it balanced, preventing this immense power from losing control.
[Main quest unlocked: Defeat Enel] [Quest reward: Shadowkhan · Ninja Shadowkhan]
This new reward seemed pretty good too.
Ye Zhuo exhaled a puff of black smoke.
Lightning and flames began intertwining around his body.
Boom!
Another pillar of lightning struck down.
It had to be said that Enel had developed both his Observation Haki and Devil Fruit to a considerable level.
Unfortunately, he had run into Ye Zhuo.
This lightning strike was completely useless against him.
He even grabbed it in his hand and swallowed it.
"Not bad."
Boom!
More and more pillars of lightning appeared, surrounding Ye Zhuo.
He simply rose into the air and stretched out one hand. The Lightning Chi instantly took control of the lightning in this area, seizing every bolt.
No matter how many times Enel attacked from afar, all of it became his.
This was the complete version of Lightning Chi!
"Damn it, you are provoking a god's wrath!"
A figure floated over.
His earlobes were huge, and four tomoe drums hung behind his back.
Enel, holding a golden staff, was already furious beyond measure.
He could not understand why he, the god of Sky Island, had encountered someone who had suddenly appeared and dared challenge him.
"Shut your mouth!"
"60 Million Volt: Thunder Dragon!"
Boom!
The drums boomed as lightning erupted at that instant.
It struck toward Ye Zhuo.
"I have lightning too."
Ye Zhuo had learned the same move, but he did not need drums to amplify its power.
Boom!
The two thunder dragons collided and instantly canceled each other out.
"You are merely imitating me."
"Is that so?"
Enel had barely spoken.
When Ye Zhuo's fist slammed into his abdomen.
The speed was so great that even Enel, who possessed the speed of lightning, was startled.
But he quickly sneered.
"Yahahahaha! A god is made of lightning. You cannot hit me!"
Pfft!
Enel spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body felt terrible.
