"Wyper!" Laki ran toward Wyper.

"Laki, why are you here?" Wyper asked in confusion.

"Enel isn't at the shrine!" Laki said breathlessly. "He's in the forest. The mantis has already been defeated by him!"

"Laki, don't come over! Run!" Wyper suddenly looked as if he had seen something terrifying.

"Move!" Li Ziming suddenly struck. "Explosion!" But the cage formed from Iron Cloud was not threatened in the slightest.

"Damn it!" Li Ziming had misjudged the strength of the Iron Cloud. The explosion had not been powerful enough to blast open the cage in time, and he had missed the best chance to rescue them.

Enel had already appeared beside Laki. "Were you looking for me?"

Laki stared at Enel in terror, her gun already aimed at him.

"Laki, run! Run!" Wyper gripped the Iron Cloud with both hands, blood dripping from where its spikes pierced him.

"What a chance!" At that moment, a goat charged over. "Slash Dial!" The slash struck Wyper's back, but Wyper acted as though he felt nothing.

Meanwhile, Laki looked at Enel in terror. Several holes had appeared in Enel's body.

"Anyone who dares challenge me." Enel pointed one hand at Laki. "Whether man or woman, I will show no mercy." Lightning flashed, and Laki fell to the ground, her entire body charred black. "At most, I'll spare her life."

"!" Wyper glared furiously at Enel, reached out to seize the goat that had ambushed him, and viciously slammed it into the cage.

"Big Explosion!" Li Ziming increased the power of his explosion once more, finally blasting a gap in the cage. But perhaps because the cage was made of clouds, the gap was steadily shrinking.

"Are you going to save them, or keep fighting?" Li Ziming looked at Wyper.

"A Shandia warrior does not retreat easily. Besides, I was prepared for this before I came." Wyper calmed down again, or perhaps became cold and ruthless once more.

"I really do hate you." Li Ziming shook his head and stepped toward the opening.

"You really think you can escape my Iron Trial like this?!" Ohm's Cloud Sword lashed out like a whip.

"Escape?" Li Ziming did not even turn around. "Is that necessary?"

"Clang!" Zoro appeared behind Li Ziming and blocked Ohm's attack. "Go save that woman. Leave this place to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Zoro." Li Ziming went to Laki's side and began checking her injuries. By then, the cage had already fully restored itself.

"We need to cut open that giant snake's belly first." Zoro charged toward the Sky Lord, with Wyper rushing forward at the same time.

"You're really getting in my way, Blue Sea man!" Wyper fired a bazooka shot, and Zoro hurriedly dodged.

"You bastard." Zoro glared viciously at Wyper.

"Zoro, people swallowed by the Sky Lord won't die immediately. You don't need to worry about the people inside the snake's belly for now. Take care of those priests first!" Li Ziming called out to remind him.

"Is that so? Good." Zoro relaxed. Since nothing would happen in the short term, he could quickly deal with those priests first.

Wyper, however, seemed determined to take down the Sky Lord first, relentlessly attacking it without pause.

"You think I'm easier to deal with than the Sky Lord?" Ohm looked disdainfully at Zoro. "Blue Sea man, I will redeem you." The Cloud Sword in Ohm's hand kept extending before swiftly cutting toward Zoro.

"Damn it!" Zoro blocked with his two swords, but Ohm's sword slipped around them like a whip and curved toward him.

"Ugh!" Zoro hurriedly retreated, trying to use the surrounding terrain to evade it.

"That sword is really troublesome." Zoro clicked his tongue, finding the weapon extremely difficult to deal with.

"Useless. Iron Whip!" Ohm's voice rang out. Zoro immediately left his spot, and the ruins behind him were sliced into fragments.

"How did he do that? How did he know I was behind the wall?" Zoro was deeply puzzled.

"Zoro, these people have Observation Haki. They can predict your movements and detect your location," Li Ziming explained at just the right moment.

"Couldn't you have said that earlier?" Zoro was completely speechless.

"Baa, die, Blue Sea man!" At that moment, a goat leaped out.

"Get lost!" Zoro easily took it down.

"Two-Sword Style: Hawk... Wave..." Zoro held his two swords and slashed at Ohm.

"Iron Rampart!" A white wall appeared before Zoro, and he crashed straight into it.

"My Iron Cloud can change shape at will. Your attacks are useless against me." Ohm raised his sword and looked at Zoro.

"Zoro, can't you cut steel?" Li Ziming reminded him. "Think back to the state you were in when you fought Mr. 1!"

"That state isn't something I can enter so easily." Zoro felt bitter inside. After Alabasta, he had tried to find that state again, but he had never succeeded.

"Useless. No matter what techniques you use, you cannot defeat me!" Ohm launched a fierce attack at Zoro. "Fan! Fork! Flower Sword!" The Cloud Sword constantly changed shape in Ohm's hands. The storm-like barrage left Zoro with no chance to calm himself.

"Pulling away from me? Then you have even less of an advantage." Ohm looked disdainfully at Zoro, who had moved far away.

"Not necessarily. 36 Pound Phoenix!" Zoro's flying slash shot toward Ohm.

"Useless." Ohm used his Cloud Sword to knock aside Zoro's attack.

"Useless?" Li Ziming spoke again. "Zoro, one sword may not be enough, but don't forget—you're a Three-Sword Style swordsman."

"Do you need to tell me that?" Zoro untied the bandanna from his arm and tied it around his head. "First Life, 36 Pound Phoenix... Second Life, 72 Pound Phoenix... Third Life, 108 Pound Phoenix..."

"Ridiculous." Ohm's Cloud Sword slashed toward Zoro.

"Three-Sword Style: 108 Pound Phoenix!" Though the number had tripled, its power had not simply tripled. The overwhelmingly powerful slash shattered Ohm's Iron Cloud outright, severely wounding Ohm and taking the last priest out of the fight.

"Very well done." Li Ziming walked over while clapping. "You've gotten stronger again, Zoro."

"Tch, let's hurry up and find Nami and the others." Zoro pulled off his bandanna, sheathed his swords, and looked at the Sky Lord. "Do you have a way to break through that giant snake's defenses?"

"No. Go attack that snake!" Li Ziming suddenly gave the order.

"What are you doing?" Zoro looked at Li Ziming in confusion. Then he saw Ohm's dog charge at the Sky Lord, only to be sent flying with a single blow.

"That dog?" Zoro asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, it listens to anyone's orders." Li Ziming said smugly. "If I hadn't controlled that dog, did you think no one would have interfered with your fight against Ohm?"

"Tch, even with one more dog, I wouldn't have lost." Zoro said unwillingly.

"Yeah..." Just as Li Ziming was about to brush him off, a bolt of lightning shot upward from below. The cloud beneath everyone's feet shattered, sending them all plummeting down. But Li Ziming vaguely saw the Sky Lord spit out two people.

"Robin?" Li Ziming felt as though his body was about to fall apart after landing. But when he saw Robin covered in injuries, he immediately grew worried. "Are you all right? Why are you hurt all over? If that bastard hurt you, I'll go blow him away right now!"

"All right, all right, I already dealt with the enemy." Robin smiled. "You should worry about your own body instead."

"Hissssss!" The Sky Lord seemed delighted to have arrived here, its enormous body continuously twisting.

"So noisy." Enel grew somewhat impatient. He stretched out his arm, turning it into lightning, and the Sky Lord wailed amid the thunder until it fell silent.

"Damn it, Luffy and Aisa are still inside!" Nami cried anxiously.

"Have faith in Luffy." Li Ziming knew Enel's Mantra was incredibly powerful. He did not want to expose the fact that Luffy was immune to lightning too early. It would be troublesome if Enel prepared for it in advance.

"What's this? Honestly, I kindly invited you back to your hometown, and this is how you treat me?" Enel jumped onto a ball cloud. "And the game isn't over yet."

"A game?" Wyper did not understand.

"That's right. You and everyone behind you are participants. It's a very simple game. After you set foot on this island, how many of the eighty-one people will still be standing here unharmed after three hours? I predicted five people. In another three minutes, the three hours will be up, so I'll be quite troubled if too many people remain." Enel looked at the people below as if they were toys. "A god's prophecy cannot fail. So will you settle it yourselves, or should I help you?"

"What about you?" Zoro looked at Robin.

"I refuse." Robin shook her head.

"Me too." Zoro was equally dismissive.

"I'll pass as well." Wyper remained as headstrong as ever.

"This old man also firmly refuses." Gan Fall showed no interest either.

"Sorry, but I have no intention of letting you win this game." Li Ziming looked at Enel with the same disdain.

"So, go die." 5.
