"You!"
Wiper glared furiously at Xie Wen, feeling mocked, while Gan Fall remained quite calm...
"Because he's simply too powerful," the old man sighed, sounding a little dejected. "Anyone he targets is basically defeated the moment they meet... Often, they don't even get to see him. He has a move called El Thor, which, combined with another ability called Mantra, lets him attack targets in any corner of Sky Island even while he stays in God's Shrine on God's Island."
"Mantra? What's that, meow?"
Hua Mei Meow immediately picked up on the key point.
"It's a peculiar ability that allows Enel and the Priests under him to sense places beyond their sight, and even predict their enemies' movements..."
"Huh? Isn't that just Observation Haki, meow? Klee can do that too~" Little Plushie immediately interrupted Gan Fall's explanation. "But that bad guy Enel really is impressive. His Observation Haki can cover an entire island, meow!"
"Observation Haki... Is that what the Blue Sea People call Mantra?"
Gan Fall understood. Having had plenty of contact with Blue Sea People, he immediately grasped this cultural difference. But even after learning that Xie Wen and his companions also possessed Observation Haki, he still didn't fancy their chances.
"Even if you know Mantra, you still won't be a match for Enel," the old man continued with a sigh. "His ability is invincible. That El Thor alone, which can strike anywhere on Sky Island, keeps even a former god like me from daring to approach carelessly. All I can do is hide in a secluded corner of the White-White Sea and cling to life."
"Coward! Enel has already scared you into submission! But we Shandia will never give up! One day, we'll take our homeland back from Enel and you Skypieans!"
Wiper was nothing if not
