" Enel...Щщш.. lā"
Nami stood there, staring blankly at the sky, at Kuina suspended in mid-air, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
It's completely unimaginable that this seemingly frail and beautiful girl possesses such terrifying strength, capable of cleaving through Raigo with a single sword strike, piercing through the air with another, and killing Enel with yet another.
Especially the final sword strike, which instantly killed Enel, even felt unreal, like a dream.
"That's amazing."
This time, even Luffy couldn't help but gape, revealing a stunned expression.
"Has your strength reached this level?"
Zoro finally snapped out of his epiphany and witnessed Kuina slaying Enel, which made him look helpless.
Kuina had always been one step ahead of him before, and now that Kuina's been resurrected, she's still one step ahead. This made him feel that his previous words about becoming stronger along with Kuina's share were a bit strange.
Because of something Kuina said, Zoro took another step forward in his swordsmanship.
However, having taken a step forward, Zoro is now more clearly aware of the gap between himself and Kuina; they are at least one level apart.
The feeling Kuina gave him was exactly the same as the feeling Hawk-Eye gave him back then.
Although he knew he was still weaker than Kuina, Zoro remained steadfast in his belief that he could defeat Kuina and Hawk-Eye.
Now, he is only happy that Kuina has been brought back to life and has gained strength comparable to Hawk-Eye.
"Does this guy dare to call himself a god?"
After Ain appeared, she landed with Kuina where Zoro and the others were and quietly watched from the sidelines.
At this moment, Ain's two crystal-clear jade arms were folded in front of her chest, and her eyes were equally indifferent as she watched Enel's fall.
She hadn't paid much attention before, but after hearing Enel claim that he was a god, she knew she would take action to deal with Enel even if Kuina didn't intervene.
He only ate the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Although it is a very powerful fruit, it is far too arrogant and presumptuous for him to think he can call himself a god and be on par with Uya just because of that!
Whoosh!!
After killing Enel, Kuina floated down from the sky and landed where Zoro, Ain, and the others were.
"That guy's body is lightning... Kuina, how did you manage to cut him?"
Zoro no longer has the idea that he can't cut through anything, but Enel's body is made of lightning, so even if he did cut through it, it shouldn't have much effect.
Just like Crocodile, the Desert Crocodile I once encountered, whose body was made of sand.
"Because it's Haki."
Kuina answered Zoro's question without hesitation, replying directly, "It's a special power. Although I learned it from my master, there are many people on this sea who know how to use Haki. It's very easy for you to learn it if you want."
In the latter half of the Grand Line, almost every powerful figure with a reputation can use Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Often, battles between the strong are not about the strength of their Devil Fruit abilities, but about the strength of their Haki.
Luffy, Zoro, and the others have arrived here, and they actually already possess the ability to learn Armament Haki, but they just haven't known how to train Armament Haki.
"I see..."
Zoro listened to Kuina's simple explanation of Armament Haki, a look of understanding quickly appeared on his face.
"Wow, you're already this strong, just who is your master...?"
Usopp spoke in a somewhat timid voice. He had been standing next to Zoro listening intently, but he was completely confused about swordsmanship and Haki. However, he felt a strange tremor and fear in his heart when Kuina mentioned her master.
Kuina is already this abnormally strong, so how abnormal must her abnormal master be?!
"My master..."
Kuina subconsciously touched the sword hanging at her waist, hesitating whether she should or not, when suddenly her eyes lit up and she turned around abruptly.
"Master!"
The next instant, a figure appeared out of thin air behind Kuina, taking a step and transforming into a blur, appearing beside Kuina.
"So fast!"
Zoro almost instinctively drew his sword, but thankfully he reacted at the last moment, simply placing his hand on the hilt, a slight bead of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Usopp on the other side was even more startled. He was already quite afraid of Kuina, after all, Kuina had cleaved through Raigo with one sword and killed Enel with another, which was too terrifying.
" Lord Uya."
Ain stood on the other side. When she saw Uya appear, her frosty face finally broke into a smile, and she smiled sweetly at Uya.
"That guy just now... I think his name is Enel. I didn't expect you guys to run into this war so soon after you came out. I didn't pay any attention to it."
Uya first glanced at her indifferently, then turned back to Kuina with a slight smile and said, "Your sword is quite well honed."
Upon hearing Uya's assessment, Kuina couldn't help but show a happy expression.
Uya rarely gave her any evaluation. Even when he did, it was usually just words like "not bad" or "okay." After Uya, no matter how amazing Kuina's performance was, it wasn't anything special in Uya's eyes.
This time, Uya Pohuang gave a fairly good review, which was enough to satisfy Kuina.
"You can go see Hawk-Eye on your own now, or you can hold off and come with me to do something else," Uya said with a smile to Kuina.
Upon hearing Uya's words, Kuina hesitated for a moment.
Although she desperately wanted to challenge Hawk-Eye to a duel right now and compete for the title of the world's greatest swordsman, she hesitated when she heard that Uya had other things to do.
Finally, she took a deep breath, slightly loosened her hand on the sword hilt, and said, "I'll follow my master first."
"Um."
After Uya nodded, she turned to look at Zoro beside her, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
Zoro was also scrutinizing Uya at this moment. Uya wasn't deliberately releasing any aura, and as long as Uya didn't deliberately release any aura, others couldn't sense any presence at all.
Zoro could only sense a natural air of nobility from Uya's expression, but he didn't get any feeling that Uya was particularly powerful.
At the same time, Zoro felt that Uya looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place her. Usopp, who was standing next to him, felt the same way.
Until Robin walked over from a distance.
When Robin walked over, she recognized Uya instantly upon seeing his Uya.
Single-handedly, he destroyed the original World Government, completely wiped out the World Nobles Celestial Dragons, and eradicated the ugly history from this world. At the same time, he was revered as a god by countless people... Uya the God!
Since Uya destroyed the former World Government, he has never appeared again, becoming a legend revered by countless people.
Now, Uya suddenly appears on the Sky Island.
Even with Robin's personality, she couldn't help but tremble slightly upon seeing Uya, unsure of how to react for a moment.
Just then, a bright and cheerful voice rang out.
Robin! You're here too!
Luffy and Nami had just arrived, and Luffy was flashing Robin a standard smile that was exactly the same as the one on the wanted poster.
But after laughing, Luffy noticed that Robin didn't react at all; in fact, she was trembling slightly as she stared ahead.
Luffy couldn't help but follow Robin's gaze and immediately spotted Uya, who was wearing a loose white robe and standing quietly there.
"Who... is this guy?"
