The pirates were thrown into a daze. They had barely climbed up from the shattered deck when a vast shadow completely covered them from above.
Ze Yi looked up at the sky.
"Enel."
Deep within the clouds, two blinding points of golden light suddenly appeared, like the eyes of a beast opening.
The next instant, a low laugh descended from the heavens alongside rolling thunder.
"This god sees you."
"Rumble—!"
The heavy clouds were torn apart down the middle by lightning.
Enel stepped out from the front of the Flying Fleet, his body turning into dazzling lightning as he plummeted straight down from an altitude of ten thousand meters.
Countless golden arcs wrapped around him, wildly extending across his limbs and behind his back, gradually outlining a Thunder White Tiger dozens of meters long.
The white tiger ran through the air.
With every paw it set down, the air beneath it caved in beneath terrifying force before exploding into rings of visible white shockwaves.
One moment it was still among the clouds; the next, it had already appeared above Gray Reef Port.
"Roar—!"
The tiger's roar and the thunder crashed down together.
The sound swept through the entire bay like a tangible impact. The cliff walls on both sides of the port shook violently, and countless rocks came rattling down.
The pirates who had just climbed off their ships instinctively covered their ears.
Some were shaken until blood flowed from their noses and mouths.
Others' legs gave out, and they dropped straight to their knees on the deck.
"W-White Tiger..."
"It's Enel!"
"Run!"
But they had barely turned around when the Thunder White Tiger crashed into the depths of the port.
"Boom!"
The outermost gun battery, along with its stone foundation, was smashed apart by a tiger paw.
Heavy cannons
