Two hooves slammed heavily into Gedatsu's body, unleashing a powerful force that sent him flying backward.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood while still in the air.
And where he was about to land after being thrown backwards, Usopp had been waiting for a long time.
He extended his right palm, using his left hand to block his right, and his eyes narrowed the instant Gedatsu flew towards him.
"Beat!"
A powerful shockwave emanated from Usopp's hand, blasting the falling Gedatsu away once again.
He couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood in mid-air, flying more than ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
Usopp couldn't help but shake his hand, muttering, "The recoil of that Impact Dial is a bit too strong!"
" Usopp, we won!"
Chopper ran over and shouted happily.
"Hahaha... Of course! With the two of us being so strong, dealing with a mere priest is a piece of cake!"
"Indeed, indeed!" Chopper agreed.
"Let's go to that Sacrificial Altar. Maybe we'll be the first two to get there, since the others might not be able to defeat that priest as quickly as we do!"
"Then we can laugh at them mercilessly, hahaha..."
Usopp laughed heartily, his mind filled with fantasies of seeing Luffy arrive there later than him and then laughing at them.
Usopp's description made the image pop into Chopper's mind, and he excitedly exclaimed, "Let's go!"
After collecting it, he ran straight out.
It's clear he's very interested in being able to laugh at Luffy!
"Hey, Chopper, wait for me!"
Usopp shouted and chased after Chopper, leaving Gedatsu lying quietly in place.
Of the four priests, Gedatsu suffered the most humiliating defeat, being so easily defeated.
The reason for this is his foolish personality; for example, he panicked immediately when he couldn't see anything.
When he panicked, his Mantra failed him, which is why he was so easily defeated by Chopper and Usopp working together!
With this, all four priests of Upper Yard were defeated!
In the end, only 50 members of the Divine Soldiers and the god— Enel— remained!
--
Inside a shrine with giant bean vines.
Enel, with his eyes closed, munched on the apple in his hand. After a while, he opened his eyes and gazed blankly ahead.
After he finished eating the apple in his hand, he sneered, "A bunch of trash! Defeated so easily!"
Just now, in their perception, his priests disappeared one by one, and each of them was defeated after a short time.
This made him, as the leader, lose face!
After a while, Enel stood up, stretched his limbs, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
" Blue Sea People, you've got some skill! Let this god show you what's what!"
With that, a flash of lightning, and Enel's figure vanished.
Somewhere in Upper Yard, Divine Soldiers surrounded a man.
Xia Chen looked indifferently at the fifty people in front of him and asked calmly, "What is it?"
" Blue Sea People, you actually dare to come here? You've got some nerve! Don't you know this is a sacred place, and entering it means certain death?" A huge man glared at Xia Chen and said viciously.
Xia Chen didn't want to say anything more to them. He narrowed his eyes, and a powerful Conqueror's Haki emanated from his body, rushing towards them.
Faced with Xia Chen's now advanced Conqueror's Haki's Haki, these divine weapons had no ability to resist and fell to the ground one after another.
Xia Chen did not hesitate and continued walking towards his destination.
Before long, they arrived at a cave and went straight inside.
After some time, Xia Chen finally reached the bottom and saw what he wanted. A slight smile appeared on his lips.
Ark - Ark Maxim!
Enel spent six years creating something to fly to the moon, powered by lightning.
Xia Chen would naturally not let such a thing go, not to mention how precious the Ark's ability to fly was.
Xia Chen simply couldn't possibly give up the Ark because of all the gold it contained.
However, Xia Chen wouldn't dismantle the gold from the Ark to sell; there's no need for that!
That Golden Bell Tower is still in his System Space; even a scrap of it could be exchanged for countless Beli.
Moreover, he also visited the Crocodile's lair in Alabasta last time and found quite a few gems and gold.
Even without the gold from the Sky Island, he still doesn't know when he'll run out of the Beli he's accumulated.
Xia Chen's gaze fell upon the Ark before him, and with a thought, the Ark vanished from its spot in an instant.
After finishing all this, Xia Chen clapped his hands and smiled.
He has now taken most of the gold on the island; the only thing he hasn't taken yet is what's inside the snake's belly, belonging to the Lord of the Sky.
Xia Chen didn't need to take that little bit of gold; he could leave it for Luffy and the others to have some leftovers!
Otherwise, they might go to Upper Yard to look for gold but end up finding nothing.
"Boom!"
Just then, a loud noise came, causing the hollow space where Xia Chen was located to tremble slightly.
A look of surprise appeared on Xia Chen's face.
"This is?"
Observation Haki instantly surged forth, flowing towards the direction from which the commotion originated.
After a while, once he understood what had happened, Xia Chen couldn't help but show an interested expression. He murmured to himself:
" Zoro, I didn't expect you to win the lottery!"
"Interesting! I can't miss such a great scene!"
After saying that, Xia Chen's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
--
"Boom! Boom!"
The continuous loud noises drew everyone's attention.
After a moment's thought, everyone acted without hesitation and quickly ran towards the direction from which the commotion came.
At this very moment, in the very heart of this storm, all that could be seen was a sky full of thunder and countless sword energies.
After a fierce clash, Zoro and Enel stood facing each other.
Zoro had his black bandana tied around his head, his eyes fixed on Enel opposite him, and numerous electric shock marks appeared on his body.
"You're not so bad, you're much better than those so-called priests under you. But... that's what makes it interesting!"
"Otherwise, playing in easy mode is really a bit unexciting!"
Enel's face was also pale; there was a long, narrow gash on his chest from which blood was flowing.
He looked at Zoro with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He couldn't understand why his powerful Logia abilities suddenly seemed less useful lately.
The two people he encountered in succession were both able to touch his body; the one who fought him yesterday could, and the swordsman he encountered today could too.
Isn't he Logia? Where did his invincible physical attack characteristic go?
He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out why, and finally asked Zoro, "Why can your attacks hit me?"
