Fang Yu vs. Enel
Robin stroked the textures of the surrounding buildings, her face filled with shock and questions. She turned to ask Fang Yu.
"Why are you so certain of the existence of Sky Island? Even on the Grand Line, such a place sounds like a legend, but we actually arrived here. It's as if you've been here before."
Fang Yu smiled and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance. "Because four hundred years ago, someone witnessed it with their own eyes."
"How could this be?" Robin was stunned. "I've never seen this part of history in any book."
"Because that's not a history book."
Fang Yu recalled the man's name, "It seems to be something like Noland, an explorer who recorded the story of the City of Gold in his logbook."
He said, "There are huge Golden Bell, towering Giant Jack, and Golden Apple that can cure diseases!"
As they listened, they looked at the things that were indeed there in the distance.
"But when Noland returned to the island with the king's soldiers, the so-called City of Gold had vanished. The entire island was gone, as if it had never existed."
"So he was executed as a fraudster."
The crew quieted down, and even Perona stopped her playful expression.
"But as you can see, this Noland is not lying."
"City of Gold does exist, but it was carried up to an altitude of 10,000 meters by Knock-Up Stream, becoming the Sky Island it is today."
"And what's even more ironic is..."
"When Noland was in the City of Gold, he made a promise with Calgara, the leader of the warriors on the island, that when the bells rang again, it would be the day they would be reunited."
"Noland is dead, and Calgara died before he could return."
"Ah! Is it that tragic?" Nami muttered.
"However, the Shandian have not forgotten."
"They have guarded the Golden Bell for generations, awaiting Noland's descendants."
"Until the day of reunion, when the Golden Bell is rung, and the world is told that the City of Gold truly exists."
"Noland is not a fraud."
Everyone fell silent, with only the gentle sea breeze blowing.
Fang Yu shrugged. "Some promises are heavier than gold."
Robin seemed lost in thought, his fingertips gently tracing the building. "It's truly a poignant history."
"So now you know why I was causing trouble for that god, right?"
Nami looked bewildered. "Why... why?"
"Because of that 'god,' the Golden Bell has not rung for a long time, and the descendants of Calgara have lost their territory. These buildings are all the buildings of that Clans. We can see them easily, but for those ' Blue Sea People ' who were washed Sky Island, they can only see them in their dreams."
"Listen! I understand!" Brook scratched the skull's neck. "It means that a group of people's island was swept into the Sky Manipulation and landed on Sky Island, which is here, and became Lookout. The natives on this island were all driven away, and that god occupied this place, right?"
"Yes, that's pretty much it. You can understand it that way."
"Yohohoho!" Brook let out a strange laugh. "For our dream! For our promise! Captain! Let's go and meet that so-called 'god'!"
"Okay, let's get started."
The Lookout's dome flickered in and out of view amidst the lightning, Enel leaned against the Golden Throne, his fingertips entwined with leaping arcs of electricity.
He squinted, but his gaze pierced through the clouds, reaching the pale, round moon high in the sky.
"Boring," he murmured, shattering a drifting cloud with a wave of his hand.
The Blue Sea People, like ants, are still arguing over trivial matters concerning the Golden Bell.
But the thoughts of 'God' had already flown to a more distant place— the Fairy Vearth!
Four hundred years ago, the murals left by his ancestors depicted that sacred land, which kept Enel tossing and turning in his dreams.
An endless, silvery-white desert, a majestic ring of mountains, the true throne of God!
That is where God should be!
Sky Island?
The altitude is too low!
Enel once used his "Mantra" to listen to the faint fluctuations coming from the moon's surface, a frequency completely different from that of the Sky Island.
Just like the obsession of Noland's descendants, Enel is also waiting for the day when his ancestor's words will be proven true.
The Kingdom of God truly exists!
Although Enel killed many rebels in his attempt to take ownership of Sky Island a few days ago.
However, nowadays, compared to killing...
The construction progress of Ark Maxim was what truly concerned him!
"Almost there!" Enel opened his palm, and lightning coiled around his hand like silver snakes.
The moment the Ark Maxim broke through the White Sea!
All those who question will be reduced to dust!
By then
That's me.
"Who is she?!"
Enel's mental energy was completely silenced the moment Fang Yu appeared!
The ability of the Mantra can cover the entire island, allowing anyone to hear what they say and sense the location of anyone.
Fang Yu's sudden appearance was like a red dot on a Dragon Radar screen: just as the first shot was fired at point A, this guy suddenly appeared behind the boxes at point B, sniping through the tunnel.
Such a peculiar situation can only have two explanations.
It's not a cheat, it is.
"Are you one of those people favored by heaven?"
Enel had never seen another Devil Fruit User besides himself.
Although the former "god" of Sky Island, Gan Fall, possessed a Pegasus mount that had eaten the Uma Uma no Mi, Enel thought it was just strange-looking.
Enel simply regarded the Devil Fruit as a blessing from heaven.
That is to say...
The spokesperson for Heaven.
God!
"Not bad, you lucky fellow. I have no other priests I can use right now, so you can be my deputy."
Gods are naturally divided into great gods and lesser gods.
Enel, who controlled lightning, naturally regarded himself as a god-king like Zeus.
"Huh?" Fang Yu was confused by Enel's words. After a moment, he frowned and asked, "You want to recruit me? To go to the moon?"
"Oh? The moon? Nice name. But I prefer to call it the Fairy Vearth!"
Enel was born on Sky Island and never saw the real world. He thought the moon was the continent, and his understanding was pitifully narrow.
"I really can't do anything with you," Fang Yu shook his head helplessly. "But thinking about it carefully, you're just like Itachi, or even more insane. Someone who can destroy their own hometown with their own hands can't possibly be mentally sound."
Enel simply had low cognitive abilities, not that he couldn't understand human speech. He picked at his ear. "So, you rejected God's gift, didn't you?"
"Something's not quite right." Fang Yu stretched his shoulders. "We need to reach a basic consensus first."
"You are not a god."
"You're just a despicable person who got lucky and ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
Enel stood up from his throne, his eyes fixed on the ground, and several bolts of lightning crackled around him!
He was furious!
Questioning God's identity is a slippery slope that should never be mentioned!
Just as the lightning struck Fang Yu, Fang Yu spoke again.
"Let me introduce myself!"
"I am the one who liberated the Sky Island!"
"I am the one who will overthrow your tyranny!"
"Kneel down before your people, grandfathers! Tremble!"
Your good days are over!
Boom—
At that moment, the sky was illuminated by thunder!
