In the sky.
Kuina, who had cleaved Raigo, remained suspended in the air, using the Geppo from the Marine Six Powers. At the same time, she gently placed the sword back beside her, holding the middle of the scabbard in one hand.
Kuina's expression appeared somewhat indifferent.
She had just emerged from the passage when such a large and strange ball of lightning fell upon her, and without hesitation, she cleaved it in two with her sword.
After striking the lightning Kuina, Kuina pondered and sensed it for a moment, then realized that the orb was not naturally generated, but rather the result of a deliberate attack. Naturally, her expression turned sour.
"He is Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability."
Ain glanced at Enel, who was perched on a cloud in the distance, then looked down at the situation below and said, "It doesn't seem like they were coming for us; it's probably just a coincidence."
"Um."
Kuina nodded, her cold expression softening slightly, but when she looked down, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on her face.
Kuina didn't recognize Luffy Nami, and the others at all, and naturally didn't care much. However, when her gaze fell on Zoro, she recognized him almost instantly, just like Zoro did.
It's also a swordsman's instinct and intuition.
" Zoro?!"
Zoro was already extremely certain, and after their eyes met, he was even more certain that the girl in the sky was Kuina.
"Covered in wounds... Looks like you're still as weak as ever, Zoro."
Kuina descended from the sky and landed beside Zoro. A hint of joy at their long-awaited reunion appeared in her eyes as she looked at Zoro, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
When Zoro saw Kuina land, he was initially at a loss, unsure of how to react. However, upon hearing Kuina say something he had heard hundreds of times in his childhood, he immediately went berserk.
"Damn it!! You bastard..."
After gritting his teeth, Zoro couldn't help but ask, " Kuina, weren't you already...?"
"That's a long story..."
Just as Kuina and Zoro began to speak, Enel, who had been staring blankly at Raigo being cleaved in two by Kuina's sword, finally snapped out of his daze.
After regaining his senses, Enel's face didn't show any fear, but rather a furious expression typical of someone suffering from severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
"Damn it!!"
"You bastard, how Raigo... unforgivable!"
Enel, who was originally going to take the Golden Bell Golden Bell, threw it aside in a fit of rage, stood in the sky, and suddenly swung his hand down fiercely.
God's Judgment!!
In Setsuna, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from Enel's palm, tearing through the sky and crashing down on Kuina below.
Zoro, who was talking to Kuina, caught a glimpse of lightning falling from the sky out of the corner of his eye.
Oops!!
Lightning moves incredibly fast. Although Zoro saw the lightning, he didn't have time to warn Kuina. He had been instantly killed by Enel 'Enel lightning earlier.
The sword itself is conductive, and Zoro doesn't possess Armament Haki at this time. Enel, with his Rumble-Rumble Fruit powers, is practically Zoro's nemesis, having just given Zoro a lot of trouble.
Seeing the lightning strike Kuina, Zoro instinctively knew he was in trouble.
But, in the very next instant...
With near-impossible speed, in the blink of an eye, Kuina suddenly drew the sword hanging at her waist and swung it sharply at the lightning falling from the sky.
laugh!!
A silver streak suddenly swept upwards, like a silver dragon, and crashed into the lightning bolt, splitting it in two and annihilating it before continuing its ascent into the sky.
"This is impossible!!"
Enel's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this; he simply couldn't believe his eyes.
If the previous Raigo was essentially composed of thunderclouds and could be cut through, then the fact that this pure lightning bolt could also be annihilated is almost unbelievable!
How could a swordsman possibly fight against lightning?!
Enel stared wide-eyed, shocked and incredulous, when he saw the slash flying into the sky and instinctively dodged it.
laugh!!!
The silver sword aura, after extinguishing the lightning, continued its momentum, cleaving the cloud where Enel stood in two and cutting off a third of the Golden Bell's base, yet its advance showed no sign of stopping.
The sword energy continued to fly into the sky, finally plunging into the uppermost clouds before exploding with a deafening roar, transforming into dazzling silver light that illuminated the heavens.
When the silver light dissipated, a huge hole piercing through the clouds was clearly visible in the sky!
This scene plunged those who had just recovered from the shock of Raigo being cut in two into shock once again.
This time, Kuina had landed below, making her closer and able to see her more clearly.
With just a simple swing of his sword, he was able to extinguish Enel's lightning and even cleave a hole in the sky.
What a breathtaking and incredible power!
"This... the lightning was extinguished, how did you do that?!" At this moment, even Zoro stared wide-eyed at Kuina, looking at her with shock and disbelief.
While Kuina's sword strike that severed Raigo was certainly shocking, Zoro, having witnessed Hawk-Eye's power, didn't find such a strike difficult to comprehend.
However, he found it unbelievable that Kuina's sword could even cut through lightning.
Hearing Zoro's question, Kuina looked at Zoro with some surprise and said without hesitation, "What's so strange about that? Why can't lightning be cut? Is there anything in this world that a sword can't cut?"
These three sentences were like a huge hammer blow, directly and forcefully crashing into Zoro's heart, leaving Zoro mind buzzing and his thoughts blank.
Why can't lightning cut through something?
Is there anything in this world that a sword cannot cut through?!
These words echoed and roared in Zoro 'Zoro mind like thunder, leaving him in a state of blankness while simultaneously giving him a vague sense of grasping something.
Noticing that Zoro seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment, Kuina smiled slightly, stopped looking at Zoro, and instead looked up at the sky, gazing at Enel in the distance.
"The power of lightning... that's quite a formidable ability."
As Kuina spoke softly, the smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by a calmness, her eyes as still as Shisui.
"But I don't like getting struck by lightning."
