A Real Flight in Panic
Ain vibrated the atmosphere, transmitting his voice. "The City of Gold Shandora has been here ever since it was swept Sky Island by the Knock Up Stream. I've just confirmed that."
So where exactly is it?
"Continue walking forward for about two kilometers, then it goes straight downhill."
"Down?"
"That ancient ruin is buried deep beneath the soil of the vast primeval forest on the God's Island, covered by mud and tree roots, and almost invisible from the surface."
After hearing the explanation, Samael curled his lip.
Collecting gold is a bit boring. Can't we introduce an enemy for him to fight?
Just then, a huge earthquake shook the ground ahead, and some enormous creature seemed to be moving across the earth.
Samael immediately perked up.
What is that?
"That's a giant python, the Skypieans call it the 'Sky Lord,' and it's estimated to be over 400 years old."
"What a huge snake! Can it grow this big just by living a long time?"
From a great distance, Samael estimated that the giant python was over 200 meters long, making it a veritable Sea Kings on land.
"Hmm? Ain, is that snake guarding the ruins?" Samael suddenly realized something.
"Perhaps."
The God's Island, where Enel is located.
After battling Sigma for ten minutes in his hallucination, he finally realized something was wrong.
"It's strange... I haven't been able to hear his 'voice' since the very beginning of my Mantra."
Enel stopped attacking and stared at the pink dragon with a solemn expression.
He tried to listen to the residents of Angel Island using his Mantra, and he could still clearly hear the voices of a large number of people.
The problem isn't with him, it's with the dragon in the sky!
Enel made that judgment in his mind first, but he rejected it the next moment.
"No, something's wrong with my body. The voice is off. When we first met, I could hear the dragon's inner voice, but now I can't... Damn it, it's that woman!"
Suddenly, Enel realized the anomaly from before.
He abruptly turned his head to look at the charred corpse.
The corpse, which he had electrocuted to a crisp, emitted absolutely no "sound".
The voice of someone who has just died wouldn't disappear so quickly!
"Poisoning, hallucinations?!"
Enel's face was extremely pale; he finally noticed a faint scent around him.
Without time to think, Enel's body was filled with rampant lightning power as he frantically used the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to cleanse himself.
Boom!!
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, landing directly overhead.
Enel bathed in the Inazuma with his eyes closed, then suddenly opened them a moment later.
Everything before my eyes has changed.
The corpse vanished, and the pink dragon in the sky also disappeared.
Enel's gaze was gloomy as he slowly turned around and looked up at the dragon and the human in the sky on the other side.
"When did you do that, woman!"
"About 12 minutes? Congratulations. Now, to answer your question..."
On the dragon's head, Bethany clapped softly, tilted her head slightly, and spoke in a calm tone tinged with mockery:
"From the moment we met."
Chapter 88 A Real Fleeing in Disarray
Did you fall victim to the virus the moment you met them?
Enel narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling everything that had happened when they first met.
He quickly understood.
The dragon breathed fire at him, causing an explosion, but this attack was merely a feint to distract him.
At that time, the woman's ability had already been quietly activated.
Who exactly are you people?
Enel pointed to his temple with his right index finger. "The sounds my Mantra hears from you are intermittent and quite different from the voices of ordinary people."
This is also why he was infected in the first place.
Upon hearing this, Bethany shook her head slightly. "It seems you haven't grasped the meaning of 'instant' yet."
Upon hearing this, Enel finally realized what was happening, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.
His Mantra was disrupted by the opponent's abilities!
"Your ability isn't to spread poison gas, it's to interfere with other people's senses!"
Enel was furious. He had been completely outmaneuvered by this woman from beginning to end; it was simply too much.
The moment they met, his Mantra were disrupted, and he failed to see through his opponent's scheme.
Then the pink dragon breathed fire, giving him no time to think. At this moment, the woman took the opportunity to increase her power output, and he was indeed hit.
First came cardiac arrest, followed by incredibly realistic hallucinations.
These two people had been watching his "performance" from the sky from the very beginning.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Enel's body crackled with electricity, and he extended his right hand, unleashing a thin strand of electricity from his palm.
The attack wasn't aimed at Bethany; instead, the electricity surged towards the temple he had come from.
A long, thin current precisely targeted a weapon located in the temple, then pulled by the current, it flew rapidly towards Enel.
With a "whoosh," a golden club appeared in his hand.
The next instant, Enel vanished from his spot, reappearing behind Bethany.
"Lightning Metallurgy: Golden Rifle!"
The Golden Staff, enveloped in lightning, instantly transformed into a golden spear.
A flash of golden light, and the spear shot out like a dragon!
With the intent to kill his opponent, he vowed to pierce the woman's heart with a single blow.
Enel's hatred for Bethany had reached a point where he was determined to kill her.
Are you angry?
Bethany smiled brightly, neither dodging nor avoiding Enel's attack, letting the bullet pierce her body.
Puff!
The golden spear pierced the enemy's body, but Enel showed no joy. He immediately activated his ability to dispel the lingering scent within his body.
Immediately afterwards, the scenery changed, and Bethany, whom he had pierced, vanished without a trace, like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water.
"Damn ability!"
Enel's face was filled with murderous intent. "The closer you get, the stronger the scent becomes, and the easier it is to be affected?!"
His Mantra scan locked onto Bethany's location once again.
Looking down into the forest, I saw the woman in the white dress standing under a tree.
"Sorry, my direct combat ability is ranked last among the Seven Deadly Sins, so..."
"Your opponent is me!"
Sigma swung his body, throwing Enel off his dragon head, then rose into the air and slammed down his tail from above.
Under normal circumstances, Enel wouldn't even blink an eye in the face of such a physical attack, let alone dodge it.
But the opponent he encountered today was a bit strange. He did not underestimate the enemy, but quickly transformed into lightning, creating distance in a flash.
Losing its target, the dragon's tail slammed heavily onto the ground, instantly shattering the earth and raising clouds of dust.
A flash of lightning, Enel appeared a hundred meters away.
He stared at the movements in the distance, instinctively using his Mantra to investigate—it was an instinctive reaction.
"No, the Mantra will be interfered with!"
Enel's expression grew increasingly grim. Although his opponent's interference couldn't completely suppress his Mantra, it did cause him to make misjudgments.
It took him a long time to realize something was wrong during his hallucination.
"Stay calm. Even without using the Mantra, my abilities are still invincible. I just need to slowly figure out my opponent's weaknesses..."
Enel took a deep breath, "We'll win!"
"Dragon God Impact!"
Just then, from the distant smoke and dust, a small pink figure shot out like an arrow.
Without using his Mantra abilities, Enel had no chance to anticipate the attack. By the time he realized it was coming, it was too late to dodge, and he could only activate his Logia Elementalization.
However.
Thump!
The pink baby dragon's head slammed into Enel's chest; Enel's Elementalization couldn't evade the attack.
His abdomen bulged backward from the impact, and he coughed up a large amount of blood.
"Puff!"
Enel sent flying backward, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and crashed heavily into the land of God's Island.
"Cough... cough cough..."
He lay on the ground, his mouth full of blood, his eyes filled with deep terror.
How could that be!
He couldn't understand why, as a Logia Fruit user, he had been hit in his physical body.
Consciousness, consciousness was almost annihilated by a single blow.
"No... I can't win. As long as that woman is nearby, my Mantra will be disrupted at any time. I can't win at all. I have to run!"
Enel was extremely flustered as he encountered such a crisis for the first time in his life.
He staggered to his feet, one hand gripping the golden spear, the other clutching his abdomen, his face pale and looking extremely weak.
As soon as he regained his footing, Enel's pupils contracted sharply.
The pink figure attacked again. Without a second thought, he used all his strength to instantly Elementalization into a bolt of lightning and, with a "whoosh," fled into the distance.
Sigma crashed headfirst into the ground, disappearing deep underground.
After a while, Bethany reached the cave entrance and called out softly:
"Lord Sigma, they've all escaped."
A dragon claw emerged, Sigma crawled out from underground. He shook his head and said, "Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his movement speed is like Inazuma. There's nothing I can do if he wants to run away."
"What a waste of such a powerful fruit."
Bethany sighed. "Is there any way to extract the fruit from a human body?"
"With this method, do we still need to search for Devil Fruits everywhere? We can just find Devil Fruit users directly."
Sigma stretched, looking utterly exhausted.
