The edge of the island.
The man stumbled out, his injuries severe, his steps swaying in a wave-like motion, but he did not stop.
We must, we must persevere, and tell everyone to expose Enel's lies.
He almost collapsed at the very edge, his legs giving way.
Conis and Pagaya, who were guarding the ship, realized something was wrong and quickly ran ashore.
Pagaya asked in surprise, "You're from the God's Army? You were captured by Enel, weren't you?"
"Hoo, hoo, um, you heard me."
Seeing that he was having difficulty speaking, Pagaya quickly asked, "How did you get so badly injured? What happened?"
Conis, quickly heal his wounds.
"Hey!" the critically injured man shouted suddenly as the blonde girl turned to leave, "Wait! My wife and children are on Angel Island!"
I understand, they must be very worried about you.
Pagaya nodded, signaling him to stop talking and get some rest.
"Please inform them for me that Enel intends to wipe everything out!"
The middle-aged man, as if experiencing a final burst of energy before death, opened his eyes wide, as if he had witnessed something terrifying.
"Not just Angel Island, he's even prepared to destroy the Upper Yard, to destroy everything!"
"But... what about him?"
For a moment, Conis's face showed a shocked expression, somewhat unable to accept it.
Even if someone claims to be a god, he still needs people to rule over him; he can't rule over just the air.
"It is the Ark Maxim!"
The man looked regretful and desperate. "For the past six years, we've been forced to build ships that can fly."
?!
In an instant, Pagaya and the uncle both looked up at the empty sky.
A chilling threat hung overhead like the Sword of Damocles, ready to fall at any moment.
Danger.
Instinctively, as a father, Pagaya unleashed a speed faster than lightning, forcefully throwing his daughter Conis away.
"Father!!" Conis roared.
A waterfall-like chain of lightning appeared out of thin air in the sky, instantly solidifying and twisting into a magnificent yet terrifying apocalyptic divine light.
With a deafening roar of thunder, its violent body, like a dazzling pillar of light, twisted Twist as it fell in an instant.
boom!
Pagaya and the uncle were both engulfed in the Lightning Flash, and even a large section of the ground beneath their feet was suddenly missing.
Conis quickly covered her mouth with her hand, "Now is not the time to be sad..."
Suppressing her grief, the girl climbed onto the Waver she had ridden in and stepped on the accelerator.
"I must inform the island's residents quickly."
As for Pagaya and the old man, in the girl's common sense, it was impossible for any creature to survive under the punishment of God.
Unless that person intervenes again.
"Phew." Zoro had just finished off Priest Ohm and let out a breath when a gust of wind came from behind him.
The giant white dog Kog'Maw, as if to bite and kill the enemy. Zoro, caught off guard, instinctively cried out, "Wait!"
Even he found this statement laughable; he actually asked the enemy to wait.
However, Holy changed her fierce demeanor and obediently sat on the ground.
"... You listen to everyone you're told!"
Even Zoro couldn't help but complain, "This dog is such a waste of its fierce size," because it "knocked itself out."
Holy slammed into the ground and lay there unable to move.
Now only the cannonman and the snake are left.
Zoro leaped forward, ready to take down the two men.
Suddenly, the clouds below flashed with blinding lightning, blasting the entire battlefield into collapse.
"What did you do?" Robin shouted. Judging from the situation, the other person, like Sand Crocodile, was a Logia Fruit user?
"Hahaha, I'm inviting your companions to this Shandora."
Enel burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Zoro, Wyper, and the Lord of the Sky, who were on the upper level, fell face down with the ground.
"Haha, let's play the final movement together!"
Enel spread his arms and laughed.
Thanks to Enel's sudden attack, the falling Lord of the Sky's mouth opened wide, revealing a path leading outside.
Nami gripped the Waver tightly and shouted, "You two hold on tight to the Waver, I'm going to twist the throttle all at once!"
Gan Fall shouted, " Pierre, let's fly out!"
You grabbed my hand.
Luffy grabbed Aisa, beaming, and said, "Finally, we can get out!"
"Wait, where did you grab it?"
Aisa stared in disbelief. "That's Jet Breath Dial!" she exclaimed, exclaiming.
Nami twisted the throttle, and the Jet Breath Dial mounted on the Waver blew Luffy and Aisa back into the Lord of the Sky's belly.
"What?!" Gan Fall's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What were these two doing?
" Pierre, go back and save them."
He jumped out of the Lord of the Sky's mouth.
"Ruins? Why are fragments of ruins falling from above..." Robin frowned as he looked at the falling stones.
"Hateful,"
With a thunderous crash, Zoro suddenly stood up from beneath a boulder as large as a house and overturned it.
"That damn rock almost crushed me!"
"Indeed... it's the Miracle he didn't die."
Robin looked at the energetic Zoro and made a comment.
"Oh, it's you. Where is this place?"
Zoro didn't forget to hold Chopper, who was rolling his eyes, in his hand. Looking around, he felt that everything was dilapidated, not much different from what he had seen above.
Robin answered truthfully, "This is the City of Gold we've been searching for, but the gold is gone."
Zoro didn't really care about the gold. Hearing the hissing sound, he looked up and saw the giant snake there, its head raised and hissing.
"Ouch... Thank you, Mr. Gan Fall, thank goodness the ground is covered by clouds."
Nami touched the ground where she had fallen, secretly relieved, then looked around in confusion and asked, "Where am I? Luffy and Aisa still inside Orochi?"
Gan Fall replied, "Trust Pierre; he'll adapt to any situation, sometimes turning into a bird, sometimes into a horse."
However, I've never seen this place before. What is it?
"Could this be the place?"
Wyper steadied himself and stared in shock at the enormous ruins of the building before him.
As a great warrior of Shandia, he had never seen Shandora in person; he had only heard about her from the stories of the elders.
However, he recognized where he was immediately.
Even though all the gold on the building had been looted, leaving only mottled rocks, the deep-seated imprint in his blood still made him instantly certain.
This is Shandora.
My hometown 400 years ago
The eternal regret of the Shandia people is that they never lit a lamp for their benefactor...
"Hiss hiss hiss~" The Lord of the Sky saw that Shandora suddenly started hissing and singing, as this place was also its homeland.
Nami, observing the strange appearance of the Heavenly Lord of the Sky, said, "The giant snake looks odd. It seems to be looking for something... Is Luffy doing something in there again, Mr. Gan Fall?"
Nami waved her hand, beckoning Gan Fall to come and take a look.
Gan Fall didn't notice; instead, he was pondering where he was. "Location-wise, this is underground within the ruins. I never imagined there would be a place like this on Island of God..."
"Hiss hiss hiss," the Heavenly Lord of the Sky cried out, tears streaming down his face.
"Is the giant snake crying?"
Nami was deeply moved by this scene; tears seemed to be a sorrowful emotion that all things could share.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!" The Lord of the Sky roared to the sky.
The constant crying provoked God's displeasure.
Enel raised his hand and said, "What are you arguing about, Lord of the Sky? Annoying, stupid snake, you're a real nuisance!"
As he spoke, he unleashed a lightning strike from the sky, blasting the Lord of the Sky to a crisp and leaving him sprawled on the ground.
" Aisa!" Wyper exclaimed in shock.
Zoro slapped his forehead, his face full of regret. "We're doomed, Nami's dead!"
"Ah!! Zoro? Robin?"
Nami hadn't noticed before, but then realized that she only needed to leave the rock where she was hiding to see her two companions.
"Where are you?! When did you run away?"
Zoro was speechless; he had just been so worried about Nami's safety.
"Miss Navigator, what are you doing here?"
Robin's words were very polite.
Nami looked somewhat worried and said, "I'm fine after escaping, but Luffy is still inside Orochi's belly."
Zoro, increasingly speechless, said, " Luffy's inside... what's he doing inside Orochi's belly?"
"How should I know? He was already inside."
Nami replied.
Wyper looked at the Heavenly Lord of the Sky, frowning, and said, " The Lord of the Sky, who remained unmoved even under my barrage of rockets, was actually defeated with a single blow... Aisa inside..."
As he spoke, Wyper noticed Enel behind him and fired a rocket at Enel.
Enel easily dodged it.
" Ball Cloud," Enel took out a Cloud Dial and blew out a Ball Cloud, then sat on it.
"Hahaha... What are you trying to do? This is outrageous! I was just being kind by inviting you to your hometown... Hahahaha."
Enel twirled the stick in his hand and said with a smile, "But wait, the game isn't over yet."
Wyper asked in confusion, "A game?"
"That's right, you and the people behind you are all contestants; it's a game."
Enel patiently explained to them, "Three hours after you set foot on this island, how many people will still be standing here unharmed?"
It's a survival game, and of course, that includes me. Although some people joined midway, I acknowledge their qualifications.
I predict that five people will survive, and in three minutes, the three hours will be up.
Hiding behind the wall, Nami was secretly delighted. She covered her mouth with her hand; there were exactly five of them. Great, he hadn't noticed me!
Enel spread his hands and said, "So, if there are still eight people left, then we're in trouble. God's prophecy can't possibly fail."
Hiding behind the wall, Nami continued to cover her mouth, crying desperately. Ah, he'd found her...
Enel looked at Robin, Zoro, Wyper, and Gan Fall standing in front of him and laughed, "Alright, who wants to disappear? Or do you want me to eliminate them myself?"
"You're willing?" Zoro glanced sideways at Robin was wearing a cowboy hat.
She replied expressionlessly, "I don't want to."
"Me too!"
Zoro replied.
"I'll pass too." Wyper, carrying the rocket launcher, had already made up his mind.
"Of course I strongly oppose it!" Gan Fall replied in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Nami's face changed drastically, and she immediately hugged the charred Chopper. None of the four wanted to accept this; wouldn't that mean eliminating her?
"Wait a minute, I..." Nami poked her head out in a panic.
The four of them raised their weapons together, pointing them at the high and mighty "god".
"Then please die!"
The four of them said in unison.
"Presumptuous."
Enel tilted his head slightly, his expression somewhat dark.
Then, his anger turned to joy, "Ha ha ha, you mean you want me to die?"
"As expected of the strong survivors of this game, but... do you know who you're talking to?"
Enel's question received no response, so he could only answer himself, saying, "It seems you still don't understand what kind of being a god is."
He said with a mocking smile, "Ha ha ha, an old fellow who hopes for happiness in the Holy Land in the Sky."
A warrior Isshin to reclaim his homeland, and you few Blue Sea pirates who want to seize the gold.
There is so much conflict in this world.
I don't care what you ants want, but this country has made a very serious mistake.
Enel continued to elaborate on his philosophy, expressing his desire to share his plan and his success with others at the end of the project.
Even if all of this is built on the suffering and sacrifice of others, so what?
He is a god, and deserves to enjoy everything in this world.
"Instead of spouting nonsense, why don't you hurry up and tell us the whereabouts of the God's Army? What is your purpose?"
Gan Fall raised his lance and shouted at Enel, not wanting the guy to keep rambling on and on.
"It's a return, Gan Fall."
Enel, engrossed in the conversation, ignored his rudeness and answered with great interest.
"Return?" Gan Fall looked surprised, not understanding what he meant by that.
"That's right, I have a place I want to go, on the Sky Island where I was born, which everyone believes is where gods exist."
Enel began to recount his past, his hands clenched into fists, a hint of excitement on his face. "People call it the Fairy Vearth, where there is an endless expanse of land, and that is the dream world I've been pursuing."
This is the land that truly deserves my love!
For hundreds of years, they have been fighting and fighting over this insignificant piece of land called Island of God. It's utterly pointless.
These words left Wyper and Gan Fall speechless. In the struggle for this land, both the Sky Island and the Shandians suffered heavy casualties.
But Wyper doesn't think he did anything wrong. What's wrong with protecting his ancestors' land?
His mistake was that he wasn't strong enough.
Enel continued, "Listen! There's a deeper reason behind your conflict."
Think about it carefully. It's not a cloud, yet it can be born in the sky.
This country, which is not a bird but lives in the sky and is rooted in the sky, is based on defying nature.
Earth to earth, people to people, gods to gods—each has its own destiny!
