Chapter 20 : Reactions
At that very moment, with Moria incapacitated…
The entire world!
Everyone was in sheer disbelief!
All eyes were fixed upon the spectacle unfolding in the skies. It was
inconceivable.
They simply couldn't fathom it. One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea,
Gecko Moria, had been utterly defeated.
Indeed, Moria, who had struck terror into the hearts of all who sailed the
seas, had been vanquished by none other than the Straw Hat Pirates led
by Luffy!
In this moment, whether they were pirates, members of the Navy,
revolutionaries, or countless spectators from various walks of life, they
were all left dumbstruck!
Even individuals like Garp, Ace, Whitebeard, and others who had
previously predicted Luffy's victory were now equally shocked.
Despite having placed their bets on Luffy, they had secretly harbored
doubts due to their awareness of Moria's fearsome reputation and
abilities.
Their prior endorsement of Luffy stemmed more from their familial ties
and unwavering support than from any realistic expectations of his
success.
To witness Luffy's triumphant defeat of Moria, one of the Seven Warlords,
was an astonishing turn of events that defied words.
---
Meanwhile, amidst the Whitebeard Pirates...
Many captains and crew members, under the leadership of Marco, were
deeply flabbergasted.
They found it impossible to accept the fact that Moria had been defeated!
After all, Moria was one of the Seven Warlords, a renowned pirate even
among them, the Four Emperors Pirates.
Among the numerous captains present, barring a select few, none would
dare to claim they could confidently defeat Moria.
Did this mean that Luffy and his crew possessed the strength to
incapacitate half of the captains present within seconds?
Everyone was taken aback!
Could the Straw Hat Pirates truly possess such incredible combat
prowess?
Ace, who was Luffy's younger brother, stared at the sky in a daze.
His expression gradually transformed from confusion to sheer elation.
A genuine, heartfelt smile of joy spread across his face, for the person in
that image was none other than his own brother.
Whitebeard himself wore an expression of disbelief, his eyes wide open.
He took some time, but eventually, he grinned and spoke slowly, "Ace's
brother... you didn't disappoint."
---
As for the Revolutionaries...
"This outcome is truly unexpected, isn't it?"
"What a splendid battle! What unwavering determination!"
"The Straw Hat Pirates have earned my respect. I shall remember their
name..."
Several key members of the Revolutionary Army gazed at the sky,
continually sighing.
The battle's result had exceeded their wildest expectations. Initially, they
had anticipated Moria's victory but were now faced with his defeat.
Nonetheless, they harbored no doubts whatsoever.
The Straw Hat Pirates had paid a tremendous price for this victory, not
only in terms of their combat prowess but also in terms of their trust and
unwavering resolve. This earned the admiration of all who witnessed it.
Sabo looked at the scene, his expression somewhat bewildered.
However, he soon broke into a smile.
"Victory... A splendid outcome."
Although Sabo still couldn't recall the connection between the guy in the
straw hat and himself, an inexplicable sense of familiarity made him feel
incredibly at ease.
He had made up his mind: in two days, when he had the opportunity, he
would visit the Windmill Village.
---
Inside his quarters, Dragon, though he had not made an appearance
throughout the events, now bore a smile.
No longer did the tension grip his countenance; instead, it was replaced
by sheer contentment.
He did not utter a word, not even to himself, yet his normally stern
demeanor was now adorned with a smile—a solitary expression that
conveyed his inner joy.
---
In Windmill Village...
Luffy gazed up at the sky, his face a mix of astonishment and
anticipation.
Above all, an indescribable excitement and boundless hope filled his
heart.
So, this was what the future held in store for him!
How utterly marvelous...
Unable to contain himself, he embarked upon the wooden fishing ship,
ready to embrace the countless unknown adventures that awaited him!
Meanwhile, Dadan's mountain bandits and the villagers of Windmill
Village stood on the pier, their faces reflecting a myriad of emotions.
Luffy... had actually won?
He had defeated one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...
In this moment, it all felt incredibly surreal, as if they were living in a
dream.
For ordinary folk like them, the significance of the Seven Warlords was
monumental—a symbol of ultimate evil and unparalleled strength,
enough to make anyone tremble at the mere mention of their name.
But now...
Had such a formidable figure truly been defeated by this naive boy from
their own village?
Could Luffy's future be so extraordinary?
Oh, dear God!
---
Elsewhere in the vast sea...
At sea restaurants Baratie, Syrup Village, Orange Town, and naval
bases...
Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Zoro, and the other members of the Straw Hat
Pirates all stared at the scene in astonishment.
Not only were they stunned by Moria's defeat, but they were also taken
aback by the strength of their captain, whom they had yet to meet in
person.
It was a revelation that shook them to their very core...
Such a formidable adversary was destined to cross their paths in the
future!
Moreover, they had played a significant role in defeating Moria...
If it weren't for the live broadcast, they might not have believed it!
It was beyond their wildest dreams...
Is this truly the path that lay ahead for them?
Were they truly the Straw Hat Pirates who had achieved such a feat?
---
At the Navy Headquarters...
The atmosphere was distinctly different from other locations...
Atop the balcony of a grand conference hall, Kizaru, Akainu, and all the
Seven Warlords gazed intently at the sky.
Their expressions ran the gamut from surprise to shock, from confusion
to utter disbelief.
Among them, three individuals exhibited particularly noteworthy
reactions—Garp, Akainu, and Moria.

Chapter 21 : Moria's Shame
"Hahaha..."
Garp laughed heartily, a grin stretching across his entire face.
The admirals on the side watched, their expressions filled with
bewilderment.
"I know you're thrilled about your grandson's victory, but could you tone
it down a bit?"
"He's a pirate, and he defeated the Seven Warlords we recognized,
essentially giving us a backhanded slap."
Garp brushed off their concerns.
"Why should I tone it down?"
"Who am I toning it down for?"
"I got a good laugh out of this, and that's all that matters!"
He continued to chuckle, his laughter resonating through the air.
Sengoku looked exasperated, but there was a hint of astonishment in his
eyes.
Luffy... Garp's grandson possessed such remarkable potential. It didn't
seem like he'd been at sea for long.
Defeating Moria was one thing, but could he become even stronger with
time? Could he pose a threat to the Navy or even the World Government?
Sengoku's concerns deepened as he glanced at Garp, wondering how this
family could produce such formidable individuals. Thankfully, Garp
wasn't a pirate, or their lineage would indeed be a menace.
Sharing Sengoku's sentiments was Akainu. His expression was a mixture
of incredulity and fury, as if he hadn't moved his bowels in a month and
was now helpless.
He had challenged Luffy earlier, confident that the Straw Hat captain
would face defeat if he battled Moria. But this slap to the face had come
swiftly, and it stung.
However, Akainu's perspective on Luffy's growth differed slightly from
Sengoku's. He believed Luffy's potential was limited, and there was no
real chance of him becoming a significant threat to the Navy.
Moria was considered the weakest among the Seven Warlords, so his
defeat wasn't shocking. Akainu's anger stemmed more from Luffy's
challenge to the Navy's authority.
But he still wasn't afraid. How could someone like Luffy, with his slender
frame and only a few visibly combat-capable crew members, ever become
a Navy-threatening force?
Not everyone present shared Akainu's certainty.
The two admirals, Kizaru and Aokiji, were mildly surprised but not
overly so. They knew Moria was among the weakest Warlords, and
Luffy's victory over him wasn't too astonishing.
They also didn't adhere strictly to Absolute Justice like Akainu and didn't
attach as much importance to the Navy's reputation.
The two admirals were like casual observers, curious about whether Luffy
and his crew would continue to grow and perhaps someday become a
true threat.
Among the remaining Warlords, reactions varied.
They were all astonished by Luffy's performance, as they hadn't expected
Moria to lose. Even though he was weak, he still held the title of a Seven
Warlord.
Defeating him indicated the Straw Hat Pirates' strength, enough to
challenge the other Warlords. This level of strength demanded their
attention.
Even those who had previously taunted Moria, like Doflamingo and
Crocodile, now wore serious expressions.
Before, they had mocked Moria under the assumption that Luffy would
lose. But with Moria's defeat, the situation had changed.
To some extent, Luffy and his crew posed a threat to their own positions
as Warlords.
Among the six Warlords, Jinbe, Mihawk, Kuma, and Boa Hancock didn't
feel threatened. They were surprised and impressed, with a hint of
curiosity.
However, Doflamingo and Crocodile felt a growing sense of unease.
Moria, on the other hand, had fallen to his knees, his face void of any
emotion.
One thought consumed him: he had lost. He had been defeated by a
fledgling pirate crew. As a member of the Seven Warlords, he would be
the laughingstock of pirates and the Marines alike.
Perhaps he would soon be expelled from the ranks of the Seven Warlords.
How had he ended up in such a miserable situation? He had already
suffered a defeat at Kaido's hands, and now this group of rookies had
humiliated him.
He couldn't believe his misfortune. And to make matters worse, he had
rashly promised to call Luffy his father if he lost. Now, not only had he
lost, but he had also gained an unwanted title.
Moria deeply regretted his impulsive words. His situation had gone from
bad to worse.
As the world continued to process Luffy and his crew's victory over the
Warlord, the scene in the sky unfolded further, revealing another figure.
This figure was just like Moria...
********
Another of Seven Warlords!

Chapter 22 : Shocking News
The scene left everyone in shock, but they found themselves drawn back
to the unfolding events on the Live screen in the sky...
[As countless shadows poured out, Moria's defeat was officially
confirmed.]
[In this moment, he had no strength left to fight, only collapsing to the
ground, falling into a deep slumber...]
[Simultaneously, the sun burst forth, its radiant beams covering the land
in an instant!]
[Meanwhile, in the Florian Triangle...]
[Countless pirates and marines who had been trapped in the dark sea by
Moria, their shadows stolen, witnessed their shadows returning, leaving
them utterly stunned...]
[They were unaware of Moria's battle with Luffy or the sudden return of
their shadows...]
[But in that moment, as they felt the warmth of the sun again, tears
welled up in their eyes, and their excitement knew no bounds...]
[Though they didn't understand why, they knew someone must have
defeated Moria for their shadows to return...]
[The excitement and disbelief were overwhelming.]
[Moria, a notorious Warlord of the Sea, a true sea pirate. Who could
possibly defeat him?]
[But such considerations became irrelevant. To these pirates and marines
who had their shadows stolen, their saviors had arrived.]
[All eyes turned skyward as they wept, tears blending with expressions of
gratitude.]
[Thanks to this anonymous benefactor who defeated Moria, their
shadows had returned, allowing them to escape the darkness and return
to the sunlight...]
[In the future, they would learn from Laura and other pirates that the
name of their savior was...]
[Luffy, or rather... the Straw Hat Pirates!]
Many were deeply moved by this sight, realizing that Luffy and his crew
had achieved more than just defeating a formidable foe. They had
unwittingly saved countless lives, earning an immeasurable amount of
goodwill.
[On the island, Luffy had shrunk in size due to the side effects of his
Third Gear technique, compounded by the toll of prolonged combat. He
had fallen into a deep slumber.]
[Chopper and the others were doing their utmost to care for Luffy and
provide him with medical attention.]
[Laura's pirate group, too, was filled with excitement, having finally
defeated Moria, reclaimed their shadows, and glimpsed a brighter
future.]
[However, just when everyone was rejoicing, a calm voice dampened
their spirits...]
[Following the sound, they spotted a massive figure seated atop a ruined
building.]
[Zoro, Laura's group of pirates, and even other people present felt a
renewed wave of fear coursing through them.]
[For this person was not ordinary; he was the last person they wanted to
see.]
[Like Moria, he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...]
[Tyrant Bear, Bartholomew Kuma!]
Once more, everyone was left in awe!
The Navy, pirates, and the entire audience tuned into the live broadcast
were left flabbergasted.
No one had expected another Warlord to appear after Moria's defeat. And
this one... was the fearsome Tyrant Bear, renowned throughout the
world!
Why was he here? How had he appeared in Moria's territory?
These questions puzzled everyone, including the likes of Sengoku,
Akainu, and other marines, as well as the present Donquixote Doflamingo
and others.
Normally, the Seven Warlords had no dealings with each other, keeping
to their respective territories and rarely venturing out.
But now...
All eyes turned to the massive bear, seeking answers that even he seemed
unaware of.
Bartholomew Kuma was just as baffled.
He had never expected, as a Melon-eating civilian, to find himself in such
a predicament. What was he doing in Moria's territory?
Seeing Kuma's confusion, those present realized he was just as clueless as
they were. After all, these events were unfolding in the future, and
without the rest of the broadcast, no one could know the reasons behind
his presence.
[As Kuma appeared, the expressions on the faces of everyone present
turned grim, and cold sweat began to trickle down their brows.]
[They all knew the terrifying reputation of the Tyrant Bear!]
[In terms of sheer strength, he was likely even more formidable than
Moria, whom they had just defeated!]
[Everyone braced themselves, fear gnawing at their hearts, but they had
no choice...]
[Kuma remained seated, holding a Den Den Mushi in his massive hand,
as if engaged in conversation.]
["I know that one of Seven Warlords has already been defeated before. If
another is also defeated by the Straw Hat crew again, it would damage
the Navy's reputation. I will clear everyone present and suppress the
news."]
[With these words, Kuma finally locked eyes with the group before him
and descended slowly from his perch.]
[His immense presence, as he moved through the crowd, exuded an aura
of oppression and terror that left everyone paralyzed.]
[No one dared to make a move...]
The information in the broadcast once again sent shockwaves through
everyone, but it wasn't just Kuma's intimidating presence that stunned
them; it was the shocking revelation he made...
What was happening?
The Tyrant Bear had just claimed that one of the Seven Warlords had
already been defeated before Moria.
And it was the Straw Hat Pirates who had achieved this feat?
Such an impossibility left everyone dumbfounded.
The entire world was in a state of shock...

Chapter 23 : Zoro's Determination
Navy Headquarters!
Garp and Sengoku exchanged glances, each with a hint of disbelief in
their eyes.
Among those present, including Akainu and the others at the rear, as well
as the Warlords of the Sea...
At this moment, everyone even doubted whether they had heard
correctly.
Moria... Wasn't he the first Warlord of the Sea defeated by Luffy and his
crew?
This can't be true, right?
Who is this Warlord of the Sea?
Each of them has been personally acknowledged by the World
Government, and the pirates they select are incredibly formidable!
For so many years, no one has ever dared to challenge the authority of
the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
No one has ever defeated a single one of them.
And now it's even rumored that they have defeated two in a row!
Since when did the Warlords of the Sea become so weak that they could
be defeated consecutively?
What about their reputation?
The admirals, the Shichibukai, they were all rendered speechless...
This grandson of Garp, what he's done is truly... unbelievably audacious!
Within the Seven Warlords of the Sea, strength varies widely. Some are of
average strength, while others are on par with the Four Emperors, like
Mihawk.
They could understand Moria's defeat; after all, his strength was indeed
lacking, and he was considered one of the weakest Warlords of the Sea.
But the others... It seems like each of them wouldn't be an easy opponent
for a rookie pirate!
Who the hell did Luffy defeat?
This became a mystery in everyone's mind.
Even the Warlords of the Sea and the others, who were shocked in their
hearts, were filled with curiosity.
In any case, this incident was no less shocking than Moria's defeat!
Amidst the shock and confusion of everyone present, Moria's reaction was
quite different.
Initially, Moria was defeated, lost face, and knelt in a corner, feeling
miserable.
But when he saw the unfolding scene...
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stood up as if rejuvenated.
What the?
One of the Warlords of the Sea was defeated?
And before me!?
For a moment, Moria felt slightly less humiliated.
Defeated by Luffy and his crew... Perhaps it wasn't so shameful after all!
At least he had someone to share in the disgrace, right?
Not to mention... That person was defeated before him!
[The overwhelming aura exuding from Kuma was undeniable.]
[Merely walking down the street made everyone hesitate to move.]
[With a mere wave of his hand, most of Laura's pirate crew disappeared
instantly!]
[This terrifying power instantly awakened everyone, and Kuma's strength
was undoubtedly many times greater than Moria's!]
"Despicable!" Zoro's face contorted; now that Luffy was unconscious, he
had to protect the captain.
Despite his exhaustion, he didn't waver for a moment and attacked Kuma
directly.
However... The power of Kuma far surpassed Moria, not to mention that
everyone from the Straw Hat crew was already at the end of their rope.
In an instant, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, and the others who had launched the
attack were all knocked down, one by one!
Before anyone could react, Kuma conjured a massive bubble with his
hand and hurled it violently...
**BOOM!**
With a deafening explosion, everyone present, except for Zoro, was
blown unconscious.
Seeing Zoro, who was still protecting his captain despite being exhausted,
Kuma cast a sidelong glance. After all, the fact that he could fend off an
attack in his state proved his strength.
"I'll take the Straw Hat kid, and the rest of you can go. This is already the
greatest mercy I can offer, isn't it?" Kuma spoke.
Zoro knew very well that he couldn't defeat the person before him, but he
had to protect the captain.
"With my life, I'll trade for his safety. You won't be at a loss, especially
since you're facing the future world's greatest swordsman," Zoro declared.
Kneeling on the ground, his posture lowered, but his determination and
pride remained unshaken.
To protect his crew and their captain, he was willing to do whatever it
took.
This loyalty, trust among crewmates, and unwavering dedication moved
even the perennially expressionless Kuma.
In fact, it moved everyone who was watching this live broadcast!
The Whitebeard Pirates!
When Kuma appeared, everyone was as puzzled as the Navy.
Hearing that Luffy had defeated a Warlord of the Sea was even more
shocking.
Now, witnessing Zoro willingly risk his life to protect Luffy, everyone was
left in awe.
Zoro's performance had always been apparent to them; he was the
strongest fighter among the Straw Hat crew, second only to Luffy.
The fact that he was willing to sacrifice his life for Luffy was a testament
to the bond between crewmates and their loyalty to their captain—
something truly extraordinary.
It was worth everyone's admiration!
Ace was deeply moved and relieved when he witnessed this scene.
"Luffy... You have reliable crewmates."
"No, you have many reliable crewmates..."
After all, before Kuma appeared, Usopp, Sanji, Robin, and the others,
though frightened, had willingly attacked to protect Luffy, even though
they were exhausted. Ace had seen it all.
Despite the small size of his brother's crew, it seemed to include some
unique individuals.
But without exception, they were all dependable.
In this way, for his brother, who had once wandered alone, Ace was
completely at ease.
Navy Headquarters...
Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, observed the scene and couldn't
help but smile.
"The future world's greatest swordsman... Interesting."
"I look forward to meeting you someday."
From the beginning, he had noticed this unique swordsman who wielded
three swords.
At present, his swordsmanship was far from Mihawk's level.
But his courage was commendable!
However, courage alone wouldn't be enough to face him and compete for
the title of world's greatest swordsman...

Chapter 24 : Respect
[After a moment of silence, Kuma approached Luffy.]
[With a gentle tug, a large red bear paw bubble emerged from the
unconscious Luffy's body!]
"This is all the pain, suffering, and exhaustion that the Straw Hat Kid has
accumulated in this battle. If you can endure it all, I will consider your
request."
"But I must warn you, in your current condition, I doubt you can bear it
at all!"
[As a piece of advice, I can let you experience a fraction of it first..."]
[Saying this, the Kuma flicked his palm, and a small bubble separated
and floated towards Zoro...]
[In an instant, an indescribable, searing pain erupted throughout Zoro's
body!]
[Zoro at that moment began to tremble uncontrollably.]
[As if he were touching the breath of death, as though all the world's
agony was compressed into this one moment, it was an overwhelming
and suffocating experience!]
[A small bubble caused such excruciating pain; imagine enduring a
bubble thousands of times larger...]
[If you can withstand it all, you might survive!!!]
[So, what do you say? If you'd rather not, I can disregard your previous
words and continue taking away the Straw Hat..."]
Zoro mumbled incredulously, "Is this the pain Luffy has been enduring all
this time?"
[Gradually, determination sparkled in his eyes...]
"Please let me take his place."
[Finally, Zoro and Kuma moved to a clearing several hundred meters
away, gazing at the enormous red bubble before them. Zoro took a deep
breath.]
[He raised his hands and touched it...]
Even though he knew it carried unimaginable agony, and it might even
cost him his life, he didn't hesitate.
[Because Zoro understood that, as a crew member, he had to share Luffy's
pain.]
[And only this method could save his life and the lives of everyone
present...]
[The scene shifted once more; Kuma had vanished, and Zoro stood in
place, appearing oddly normal...]
[But as the camera zoomed in, one could see...]
[Zoro's body was covered in blood, his clothes torn to shreds, his eyes
bloodshot, and his overall condition was dire...]
[Within a 100-meter radius on the ground, bloodstains splattered
everywhere, creating a horrifying and pitiful sight...]
[Fortunately, despite this unimaginable torment, Zoro was still alive,
which was the best possible outcome...]
…
[The scene shifted once more; Luffy had awakened, and Chopper had
healed Zoro. Though Zoro was bandaged all over, at least his life was no
longer in danger.]
[After defeating Moria, the Straw Hat Pirates received a tremendous
boost in their abilities and growth...]
[Now, it was time to set sail once again and continue their adventure to
new horizons...]
As everyone watched the scenes unfolding, they were deeply engrossed...
Zoro's unwavering determination and self-sacrifice left a profound
impact.
Not only did Kuma stand in awe, but also those who watched the live
broadcast at that moment...
They were moved to their core!
Luffy wasn't just strong; he had a dependable and selfless partner!
This also made it abundantly clear that Luffy's victory over Moria came at
a tremendous cost.
The level of suffering he endured was simply unimaginable.
His willpower and endurance were astonishing...
...
Luffy gazed up at the sky, lost in thought.
"Is this my future crewmate? Did he go through all of this for me?"
Even with Luffy's carefree personality, he couldn't help but be deeply
moved at this moment.
In the original storyline, only Sanji knew what Zoro had sacrificed for
Luffy.
It was a journey as harrowing as death itself!
Now, as Luffy watched the live broadcast and the Straw Hat Pirates
across the world witnessed these events...
They were all in awe.
Sanji, Brook, Nami, Usopp, Robin, and the others were stunned by what
they saw.
They were not only amazed by Zoro's choice but also by the incredible
pain Luffy had endured in this battle.
The suffering was beyond imagination!
And the most astonished of all was Zoro himself...
They saw him looking at his future self in disbelief, standing in a pool of
blood with a bewildered expression.
"Is this really me?"
He found it hard to believe that his future self would willingly sacrifice
everything for another person.
With Zoro's current mindset, it was utterly unfathomable.
But soon, he smiled...
"It appears that my future captain is a truly remarkable person."
"Why else would I be so convinced..."
He trusted his own judgement, and since he was willing to sacrifice for
Luffy, it proved that Luffy's charisma had won him over.
For a moment, Zoro had the desire to meet this captain he had never met
before...
On the Navy's side...
Sengoku and the other high-ranking officers watched with furrowed
brows.
Their expressions hinted at a hint of envy toward Luffy and his Straw Hat
Pirates.
After all, defeating two Warlords in succession demanded their attention.
As for the pirates...
The Red-Haired Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and even the other Four
Emperors and renowned pirate crews.
After witnessing this battle, their perceptions started to shift.
This seemingly small crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, was undeniably
formidable!
Whether it was Luffy as the captain, Zoro with his Three Swords style, or
Robin, Usopp, Brook, and the others...
It was becoming clear that their future was boundless!

Chapter 25 : Rewards
[After their victory over Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the
Sea, the Straw Hat Pirates' bounties did not increase due to the World
Government's suppression of the news.]
[However, despite the lack of a bounty increase, the Straw Hats gained
their fame thanks to this incident, and their reputation soared!]
[The Straw Hat Pirates' members and their existing bounties will now be
revealed.]
As the audience listened to the announcement, they were slightly
surprised yet filled with curiosity.
In the world of pirates, a significant measure of a crew's strength is their
bounties. While viewers witnessed the Straw Hats' combat prowess
during the live broadcast, they had no idea how much of a threat the
World Government considered them to be.
Seeing their bounties would provide some clarity.
On the other hand, high-ranking Marines like Fleet Admiral Sengoku,
Admiral Akainu (Sakazuki), and Admiral Aokiji (Kuzan) wore complex
expressions.
These events were unfolding in the future, and they were in the dark.
However, they understood the importance of preventing the defeat of the
two Warlords and how it would affect the Navy and the World
Government's reputation.
It was clear that the news had been suppressed intentionally.
Suddenly, it dawned on both the Marines and the Warlords why
Bartholomew Kuma had been dispatched.
Among the Seven Warlords, he was the closest to the Navy, and it was
likely that he had received orders to deal with the Straw Hats.
As for why the Straw Hats emerged unscathed, that remained a mystery.
The images didn't explain, and the events had not yet transpired.
Only Kuma himself felt a tightening in his chest. His unique identity
meant he had a hunch about the reason.
As everyone's curiosity peaked, the picture continued.
[Captain: Monkey D. Luffy, bounty remains... 300 million Berries!]
[Combatant: Roronoa Zoro, bounty remains... 120 million Berries!]
[Archaeologist: Nico Robin, bounty remains... 80 million Berries!]
[Chef: Sanji, bounty remains... 77 million Berries!]
[Shipwright: Franky, bounty remains... 44 million Berries!]
[Sniper: Usopp, bounty remains... 30 million Berries!]
[Navigator: Nami, bounty remains... 16 million Berries!]
[Doctor: Tony Tony Chopper, bounty remains... 50 Berries!]
[Musician: Brook, due to unique circumstances recognized as deceased by
the World Government, his bounty had been cancelled. However, after
this incident, he will be reissued a bounty of... 33 million Berries!]
A collective gasp filled the air. Everyone, be it pirates, Marines, or
Revolutionaries, was shocked. While they had expected the Straw Hats'
bounties to rise after defeating Moria and confronting the Warlords, no
one had anticipated such high figures.
300 million Berries! In the world of pirates, any bounty exceeding 100
million was a mark of a formidable pirate. Three hundred million was
beyond anyone's imagination, especially for a crew of just nine members,
Luffy included.
Even Sanji and others had bounties in the tens of millions. It was
undeniable—the Straw Hat Pirates were a force to be reckoned with.
Admiral Akainu's face twisted in anger. A bounty of three hundred
million?!
This pirate crew had to be captured at all costs! Moria was equally taken
aback. He had been defeated by a rookie pirate, Luffy, who now had a
higher bounty than himself.
The remaining Warlords, Jinbe and Bartholomew Kuma, were equally
astonished. The Straw Hat Pirates were no ordinary rookies; they were
considered a legitimate threat for the World Government.
In the Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku almost choked on his
water, coughing several times.
He turned to Vice Admiral Garp with irritation and said, "Garp, look at
your grandson! Even as a pirate, he has a bounty of 300 million! What
kind of havoc will he wreak on the sea?"
Garp, with a wry smile, replied, "Luffy always did have a knack for
causing trouble."
Elsewhere in the world, figures like Whitebeard, Ace, Shanks, Kaido, Big
Mom, and Kaido, who had previously underestimated the Straw Hat
Pirates as rookies, were also shocked by their bounties.
They had been mistaken; the Straw Hat Pirates were destined for
greatness. This was just the beginning of their journey, and if this was
any indication, their power and bounties would only continue to rise.
As the shockwaves of the bounty still reverberated, the broadcast
continued.
[Gecko Moria vs Nightmare Luffy Concludes. The list of winners will now
be announced, and the opportunity for all staff to call in will be opened.]

Another round of astonishment erupted among the viewers.
The implications of these rewards were significant.

Chapter 26 : Global Call?
At this moment, everyone was stunned as the rewards were announced...
"What in the world?"
"The rewards are incredible!"
Whitebeard healed from his injuries, Zoro's swordsmanship improved,
Ace's fruit power evolved, Garp's physical skills were enhanced, and Red-
Haired Shanks had his broken arm fixed?
Unbelievable...
Each of these rewards was a perfect fit for them, and it was beyond
anything imaginable!
At this moment, countless people couldn't help but envy them, their eyes
turning green with jealousy.
Even figures like Garp and others, who had chosen the correct answer,
were left bewildered upon seeing the rewards.
The Whitebeard Pirates!
They witnessed Whitebeard sitting in his infusion chair, suddenly
experiencing a shock, followed by a warm surge spreading throughout his
body.
"Pops, are you okay?" Concerned crew members gathered around, their
eyes filled with worry.
"I... have I really recovered?" Whitebeard's eyes widened in disbelief as he
felt the newfound strength coursing through him.
For years, he had been plagued by illness, and even though he was
known as the world's strongest man, he couldn't escape the torment of his
injuries.
But now, he couldn't help but feel invigorated. It had been so many years
since he had felt this powerful!
Whitebeard couldn't contain his excitement, and his hearty laughter
echoed across the sea.
Ace, standing nearby, also underwent a transformation. As a user of the
Flame-Flame Fruit, he had already honed his abilities to a high degree.
He had mastered countless techniques and could wield his fruit powers
with great skill. But even then, it felt like there was untapped potential
within him.
Now, he felt something different, a surge of inspiration that promised to
take his fruit powers to new heights. It was as if the development of his
abilities had taken a quantum leap.
"Such a reward... My fruit powers have actually improved!" Ace
exclaimed, his heart brimming with excitement.
The Red-Haired Pirates...
Red-Haired Shanks stared at the sky, still lost in shock and disbelief.
Regenrate arm?
Wait, what?
In the next moment, Red-Haired Shanks froze as he felt a sharp pain in
his left arm, the same arm that had been missing. Suddenly, countless
granules sprouted from the stump, forming a brand new arm.
This sight left everyone in the Red-Haired Pirates stunned.
"Wow, what a miracle!"
Even Shanks himself couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at his
regenerated arm, still in a daze.
At the Naval Base Town...
Zoro furrowed his brow, feeling something different from the others.
Unlike the visible recovery from injuries or the regeneration of severed
limbs, the reward for improving his swordsmanship was less apparent.
If not for the warm current surging through his body, he might have
thought it was a trick. But in this moment, he realized that something
had indeed changed.
Gripping his three swords, he gazed at the massive naval warship before
him and had a sudden realization – he could cut it down effortlessly.
Navy Headquarters!
Many Marines, led by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, were dumbfounded. The
rewards were far richer than they had ever imagined.
And what made it even more shocking was that most of the recipients
were pirates, including two of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard and
Shanks.
Whitebeard, previously weakened by his injuries, was now restored to his
prime. His strength was once again a monumental threat to the Navy.
Shanks, who had lost his left arm, had regained it. His already
considerable strength had increased further.
Furthermore, Ace and Zoro, both pirates, had received substantial power
boosts.
Sengoku's face turned ashen. It was unimaginable that the rewards would
be so generous. If they had known in advance, they would have thought
twice before participating.
The pirates' sudden increase in power could disrupt the delicate balance
of the seas and pose a significant challenge to the World Government.
But there was one silver lining – one of the recipients was a Marine.
"Garp, you also received a reward. Can you share your feelings with us?"
inquired Sengoku.
Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji also looked over at Garp.
They were curious to hear Garp's thoughts on the reward.
With a smile, Garp replied, "I feel like my Iron Fist can bring down the
entire Navy Headquarters!"
Sengoku: "..."
[Due to an early display of combat power, additional strength is awarded
to main characters.]
[Special rewards are now being distributed...]
[Congratulations, Monkey D. Luffy! Your strength has improved, and
your Gomu-Gomu no mi has evolved!]
[You've mastered the Second Gear in advance!]
With these announcements, Luffy, who was far away in Windmill Village,
was taken aback.
"Huh?"
"They're actually rewarding me too?"
In that very moment, a warm current surged through Luffy's body. His
Gomu Gomu no mi had instantly evolved, and his strength had reached
the level at which he could use the Second Gear.
Luffy couldn't wait to try out his newfound abilities. Red steam
enveloped his body, and a potent force gathered within him.
Those behind him, including the inhabitants of the village and the
Marines, watched in astonishment as they realized that Luffy had also
been rewarded.
And as Luffy mastered the Second Gear, he too was filled with
amazement at his increased power.
In the sky above, the broadcast continued.
"All rewards have been distributed!"
"Next, a global conference call will be initiated to connect the major
factions!"
"During this period, everyone can communicate freely, call anyone from
any server, or have private conversations."
"Limited time... 10 minutes!"

Chapter 27 : Capturing Luffy?
Everyone can communicate?
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback...
While they were still pondering the meaning of this sentence, suddenly!
Out of thin air, a Den Den Mushi appeared before them!
Whitebeard, Ace, Garp, Sengoku, Dragon, Kaido, Shanks, and even some
familiar faces were in front of them... All of them.
Just by looking at this Den Den Mushi, it seemed identical to any other
Den Den Mushi. There was nothing special about it.
But in the next moment... everyone was left dumbfounded.
["Hey, hey, can you hear me?"]
A voice emanated from it, not only reaching the Navy Headquarters but
also the Revolutionary Army and countless pirates could hear it.
"Is that... Luffy's voice?"
Ace was stunned, and then ecstasy lit up his face.
"Luffy, can you hear me? It's Ace!"
"Oh!!!"
"Ace!"
Luffy's excited voice came through once more.
For a while, the two brothers chatted happily...
On the side of the Revolutionary Army and the Navy, everyone had
perplexed expressions.
Ace, perhaps being a bit more clever, realized that others could probably
hear him. So, he chose to chat privately.
Suddenly, their voices disappeared entirely...
Revolutionaries!
Dragon gazed at the Den Den Mushi before him with astonishment.
To be honest, he was no stranger to this device, but the ability to connect
to the entire world... was incredible.
This meant that anyone in the Navy, even the World Government, could
hear him as soon as he spoke. Even his own father and son... could hear
him too?
Whitebeard Pirates!
Whitebeard looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand with a smile.
"Everyone's talking, huh?"
"Interesting..."
Navy Headquarters!
Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, and even the Admirals and other high-ranking
officers held Den Den Mushis in their hands.
Perhaps the distribution of these Den Den Mushis was limited...
Not everyone in the world could make calls. Only the leaders of various
factions were qualified.
Of course, this naturally included all members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
If one person spoke and didn't opt for a private conversation, everyone
who had a Den Den Mushi would be able to hear.
However, the call opportunity had just arisen, and this strange situation
left many people stunned. So, almost no one spoke; they all watched in
silence.
Only Luffy, with his carefree nature, immediately started tinkering with
curiosity as soon as he got the Den Den Mushi.
This prompted Ace, who missed his brother, to speak as well, but now
the two of them had moved to a private conversation, which the rest
couldn't hear...
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Sengoku frowned and tentatively said...
"Hello?"
"Monkey D. Dragon, your father is in my custody. Surrender yourself now
if you want to guarantee his safety!"
At that moment, Dragon, who was on the distant Baltigo Island, heard
this and his face darkened.
"..."
To be honest, he was no stranger to Sengoku. After all, his dad and
Sengoku had been partners for many years, and he even considered him
an uncle.
But now, from the perspective of their current positions, they were
enemies, fighting against the World Government.
This wasn't the first time he had heard such banter. It had a hint of
humor, and he was used to it.
On the other side... Navy Headquarters!
Garp was suddenly anxious. "Sengoku, my friend, are you challenging me
to a fight?"
Sengoku chuckled. "Isn't this just a joke? I'm testing this device. Can your
son really hear it? What if he surrenders?"
Garp sneered. "That brat? I can't control him. Can you?"
At the same time, Akainu spoke with a stern face.
"Monkey D. Dragon can wait. As a member of the Revolutionary Army,
he poses a significant threat to the World Government, but there are
others who can deal with him. What concerns me more is... Vice Admiral
Garp, your grandson Monkey D. Luffy. He seems to pose a significant
threat in the future!"
Upon hearing these words, Garp and Sengoku, who had been bantering a
moment ago, fell silent.
Even Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru turned their attention.
After all, they had already witnessed the terrifying potential of Luffy
through the broadcast. He had defeated two Shichibukai in quick
succession, and his bounty had soared to 300 million Berries!
Moreover, this was just a milestone in his growth.
In the future, no one knew Luffy's limits, and no one knew how great a
threat he posed to the Navy and the World Government.
But one thing was clear...
The two Shichibukai had been defeated, both at the hands of the Straw
Hat Pirates. This was a massive blow to the Navy's reputation.
Otherwise, why would the world government try to suppress the news?
In any case, Straw Hat Luffy could not be allowed to remain free, nor
could he be allowed to grow stronger!
Akainu spoke with a stern face. "Straw Hat Luffy poses a significant
threat in the future, and we must arrest him before he becomes too
powerful. This is not just for the sake of peace at sea but for the safety of
everyone!"
"I request that Admiral Sengoku issue the order for me to personally lead
a warship to Windmill Village in the East Blue and capture Monkey D.
Luffy!"
Once these words were spoken, all the influential figures from various
factions who were qualified to converse via the Den Den Mushi displayed
a noticeable change in expression.
They were well aware that apart from Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet
Admiral Sengoku, the Navy's most formidable combat force consisted of
the Three Admirals.
Among them, Akainu was not only the strongest but also staunchly
adhered to absolute justice!
If he ever harbored the intention of apprehending Luffy to eliminate a
future threat, there was a genuine concern that he would carry it out...
All of this was a testament to the unwavering commitment to justice he
had upheld throughout his career!
At this very moment, while many were animatedly discussing the
situation, there were also those who spoke up...
"Admiral Akainu... I implore you, spare Luffy!"

Chapter 28 : Give me Face
The voice belonged to none other than Shanks.
As could be expected of one of the Four Emperors, his reputation and
power were undeniable, and when combined with his crew, which could
only be described as monstrous in strength, no one dared to provoke
them recklessly.
Even the Marine headquarters, unless they sought an all-out war, would
likely prefer to avoid direct confrontation with him.
At that moment, the faces of countless onlookers changed. They had
never anticipated that, after Akainu had just declared his intent to
capture Luffy, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, would be the first to
speak. It piqued everyone's curiosity – what was the connection between
these two?
The surprises didn't end there. From what Akainu had just revealed, they
learned that Luffy was, in fact, the grandson of the Marine hero Garp.
Furthermore, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the organization
feared by the World Government, was Luffy's father. The ties among
these three were familial, and this revelation left everyone dumbfounded.
While many in the Marine knew that Dragon was Garp's son, the fact that
Luffy was Garp's grandson was a well-kept secret, known only to those
from Windmill Village and Marine personnel close to Garp.
The shock rippled through even the members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Who would have thought that their future captain had such a powerful
background?
If it weren't for the widespread announcement by Akainu, this
information would have remained hidden from the world.
This family's background was exceptionally formidable: one member was
a Marine hero with prestige surpassing even that of a marshal; another
was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, challenging the World
Government; and the youngest was a rising star who, at a tender age, had
already defeated two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
This family not only had a formidable background and immense strength
but also their own distinct factions. Each member stood as a powerful
force on their own.
In the midst of this revelation, even the Revolutionaries' headquarters
had its cadre in disbelief, all of them turning their gaze toward Dragon.
Dragon, however, remained unfazed and focused on the Den Den Mushi
in his hand.
Despite his long absence from home and his lack of involvement in his
son's upbringing, he cared deeply for Luffy.
If Akainu dared to arrest Luffy in Windmill Village, Dragon would not
stand idle. He would either lead the charge to rescue Luffy or engage in a
direct conflict if necessary.
There was another who shared Dragon's sentiment: the Whitebeard
Pirates. Whitebeard observed Ace, who was merrily conversing with
Luffy in the corner, and a faint smile graced his lips.
Ace was his "son" and family, and Whitebeard prioritized the safety of his
family above all else. If Akainu attempted to harm Ace's brother,
Whitebeard would not hesitate to use his pirate group's might to aid
Luffy.
Moreover, Luffy's actions had indirectly aided Whitebeard's recovery
from his old injuries, and he was itching for a fight to test his newfound
strength.
Logically, they should have offered their support to Luffy. However,
Shanks had already spoken, and there was no need to take the lead.
"Shanks..."
"You know Ace's brother?"
"How intriguing..."
...
At the Marine headquarters, Akainu's expression shifted upon hearing
Shanks' words.
One of The Four Emperors...Red Haired Shanks? He had prepared for
Garp's interference but had never expected one of the Four Emperors to
intervene. What was happening?
Not only Akainu but also the Sengoku, Aokiji, Kizaru, and even the few
from the East Blue found it unbelievable. Only Garp understood why.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Wretched Shanks! If it weren't
for him, his grandson might never have become a pirate.
Even if Luffy's decision to embark on a pirate's path wasn't entirely
influenced by Shanks, there was no doubt that Shanks played a role.
For a long moment, Akainu spoke, "Shanks, what's your stake in this?"
Shanks replied in a gentle tone, "Hahaha, not much really. I just happen
to know Luffy."
Akainu's resolve hardened, "Well, since that's the case, it doesn't matter.
His threat must be eliminated, and no one can stop it."
Shanks maintained his gentle tone, "You're a great Admiral, no need to
fuss over a child. Just give me some face and leave Luffy be."
Akainu sneered, "Give you face? And if I don't?"
Shanks' smile disappeared, and his tone grew cold, "If you won't give me
face, then I won't mind going to Windmill Village myself. My arm has
only just regrown, and I'm eager for a fight."
These words sent shockwaves through the world. Shanks' words were a
clear declaration of war against Akainu. If you won't give me face, I will
force you to.
It was as simple as that.
Shanks' temperament was befitting of one of the Four Emperors, daring
to challenge even an Admiral. Everyone was both impressed and fearful.
At that moment, anyone who crossed paths with Shanks in the future and
heard those words – "Give me face" – would undoubtedly comply.

Chapter 29 : Akainu's Compromise
Red-Haired Pirates…
Shanks gripped the Den Den Mushi in his hand with a serious expression
on his face.
His bond with Luffy ran deep, dating back to Luffy's childhood. He
couldn't just stand by and watch Luffy get captured by the Marines.
The relationship between them wasn't just that of mentor and junior; it
was a pact between men.
Shanks had to make his stance clear and do everything in his power to
protect Luffy. And in this, he had the full support of his crew, the Red-
Haired Pirates.
Benn Beckman, Yasopp, and the others rose from their seats, their
expressions equally resolute. Luffy was their beloved junior, and they
were ready to follow their captain's orders.
With a single command, the Red-Haired Pirates could change course and
set sail for Windmill Village, where they knew the Marines would be
coming.
...
Marine Headquarters!
Sakazuki, also known as Akainu, had a grim expression on his face, and it
couldn't have been darker.
As a marine admiral, he found himself threatened, and in front of so
many witnesses no less. This was a challenge he couldn't tolerate.
Before Akainu could vent his anger, Sengoku spoke up.
"You don't need to be so hot-headed. These images are just a starting
point. We can't be certain about future events based solely on them."
"If we immediately set out to capture Straw Hat Luffy in the East Blue
using these images, it would damage the Navy's reputation, and you
wouldn't be satisfied either."
Sengoku genuinely believed this. After all, Luffy was still a rookie pirate
about to set sail. Arresting him based solely on these images would be
hasty.
There was also a touch of personal bias in Sengoku's thinking. Luffy was
the grandson of his old comrade Garp. If they moved against Luffy, Garp
would likely cause a scene, and given Garp's strength and temperament,
it would be hard to control.
Red-Haired Shanks chimed in, his tone returning to its usual gentleness.
"Look, Marshal Sengoku, you've earned your position as a Navy's Fleet
Admiral for a reason. Your approach and consideration are far superior to
many."
"Furthermore, Akainu, I'm not just helping Luffy; I'm helping you. Don't
let Vice Admiral Garp's usual cheerful demeanor fool you. If you provoke
him, you won't leave Marine Headquarters in one piece."
"As a Marine, you've probably never experienced the might of his iron
fists, have you?"
"I've been on the receiving end, and I must say, it's terrifying. If you
doubt me, give it a try."
Akainu glanced at Garp but found the old man grinning and giving him a
thumbs-up.
The whole act was just a facade. Deep down, Akainu knew the terror of
Garp's punches.
Despite his laid-back appearance, Garp was a force to be reckoned with.
If he insisted on capturing Luffy and Garp intervened, Akainu might not
be able to stop him.
Sengoku patted Akainu's shoulder, "Sakazuki, stay calm. These images are
not definitive proof. As an Admiral, you should maintain composure."
Akainu pondered Sengoku's words. He did want to capture Luffy, whether
the images were real or not.
Luffy posed a significant threat to the world government, and that was
the justice he served—eliminating any threat to the World Government.
However, he was surrounded by obstacles. For now, he had to convince
himself that Luffy's strength might have reached its limit.
Becoming one of the Four Emperors was an achievement beyond most
pirates.
Maybe it was best to wait, gather more intelligence on the Straw Hat
Pirates, and if necessary, apprehend them discreetly.
With that in mind, Akainu nodded, "Very well, I'll refrain from pursuing
Straw Hat Luffy for the time being. But if he poses a greater threat in the
future..."
"I hope that Admiral Sengoku will not hesitate to give the order for me to
capture him."
With Akainu's concession, there was relief among those present,
including Kizaru, Whitebeard, and Shanks.
Zoro, Nami, Robin, and their comrades, who had been anxiously
listening, breathed sighs of relief. For now, the crisis was averted.
Sengoku smiled, "Let's move on. The Den Den Mushi transmission has
ended."
The images and sounds in the sky vanished, and the Den Den Mushi
disappeared from everyone's hands.
["All personnel, the communication time is over."]
A voice announced.
["Next, we will proceed with the list!"]
["Number 9: Sky Island, God of Thunder!"]

Chapter 30 : God Enel
[Number 9: Skypiea Showdown! God's Decisive Battle]
On the screen in the sky, Skypiea Islands came into view!
As this proclamation resonated across the world...
It sparked an uproar once more!
"Skypiea Island?"
"God!?"
As people reacted with astonishment, profound skepticism gripped their
hearts.
For most ordinary folks, Skypiea Island was merely a legend, as no one
had ever set foot there.
But for many sea pirates and even the Navy...
Well, they were well acquainted with it!
Skypiea Islands were situated along the Grand Line and were not easily
accessible to common people.
They stood thousands of meters above the Blue Sea!
Precisely because of this considerable altitude, many ordinary folks
believed they were nothing more than a myth.
Even several pirate crews shared this belief.
Only those who had attained a certain level of power were granted
entry...
Yet, even among the mighty, few had ventured there.
Only a select few had ever visited...
...
"Skypiea Island?"
"Garp, your grandson sure knows how to aim high. I've never set foot
there!" exclaimed Sengoku.
Garp: "..."
"Indeed, I've never been there myself ," added Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji,
Mihawk, and the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, their surprise evident.
Even they had rarely visited the place, given the challenging conditions.
To reach Skypiea Island, one needed to ride the perilous currents known
as the "Knock Up Stream," with slim chances of survival.
Due to this perilous journey, even those with a curiosity about Skypiea
Island were deterred from making the trip.
But the Straw Hat Pirates...
For a moment, everyone was left in awe.
Causing a ruckus in the Blue Sea was one thing, but venturing so high up,
weren't they afraid of falling to their doom?
The Whitebeard Pirates!
All aboard the ship were astonished, including their captain, Whitebeard
himself.
They were acutely aware of the dangers and difficulties of reaching
Skypiea Island.
Ace was equally amazed, his face reflecting sheer disbelief.
Goodness, his brother sure aimed high, didn't he?
They had all gone to Skypiea Island!
Even though I have never set foot there...
No, he thought, I must ask Luffy about his experiences on Skypiea Island
when I meet him one day.
The Red-Haired Pirates!
Shanks, Beckman, and the others couldn't help but react.
"Wow, Luffy sure knows how to stir things up!"
"Skypiea Island, seriously, how did they manage to reach it?"
"Luffy was mischievous as a kid, but it seems he've grown even more
unruly as an adult, hahaha..."
Laughter erupted among Shanks and his crew.
They admired Luffy's audacity.
...
At this moment, countless factions and pirate groups were left stunned by
Luffy and his crew's latest adventure.
They hadn't even begun to digest the information, and it was already this
incredible...
Everyone understood that the path to Skypiea Island was treacherous.
Reaching it was a remarkable feat.
However, what puzzled them even more was... gods?
What gods?
The gods of Skypiea Island?
None of them had ever heard of such beings...
Meanwhile, on Skypiea Island, at Gaya Island!
A man with a white scarf, oversized earlobes, a bare upper body, and
three jade thunder drums strapped to his back sat on a throne.
He was none other than the god of Skypiea Island... Enel!
Just three seconds ago, he had been reclining lazily, watching the masses
on the live broadcast devouring their melons.
But now, he was utterly dumbfounded!
He never expected that the special event featuring the top ten peak
battles would...
Involve him!
Despite Skypiea Island being situated 10,000 meters above the Blue Sea,
the live broadcast was still accessible.
Thus, Enel and everyone on Skypiea Island could see everything clearly.
Naturally, they witnessed Luffy's victory over Moria...
Intrigued, Enel watched with keen interest.
After all, he was born on Skypiea Island and, upon consuming the
Thunder-Thunder Fruit, had gained godlike powers, becoming Skypiea
Island's God.
Nonetheless, he had never set foot on the Blue Sea.
Thus, everything about the Blue Sea remained strange and intriguing to
him...
So he observed with great seriousness.
When he saw Moria and the Tyrant Bear consecutively appearing
between the Two Seven Warlords, even Moria piqued his curiosity.
To be honest, Enel wasn't particularly worried about Moria's combat
prowess.
However, the second opponent, the Tyrant Bear... It posed a significant
challenge.
As the true strongest on Skypiea Island, he seldom felt such pressure.
This deepened Enel's curiosity about the Blue Sea, and he watched with
even greater interest, eager to discover which formidable individuals
from the Blue Sea would appear in the next battle.
But what he never anticipated...
The Blue Sea's powerful figures didn't fight amongst themselves; instead,
they came to him!
In this ninth ranked peak battle, Luffy was pitted against him?
Watching silently from afar had led to him becoming entangled in this.
No matter how he tried to make sense of it, Enel couldn't fathom how the
Straw Hat Pirates had made their way to Skypiea Island.
Although he didn't yet know the outcome of the battle, witnessing their
previous skirmish had given him a clear idea of the Straw Hats' combat
capabilities.
Regardless of the outcome, their presence on Skypiea Island was far from
ideal.
Indeed!
Enel sat up abruptly, the shock lingering on his face for an extended
period...
At the same time, the entire Skypiea Island's populace was equally
astounded by the unfolding spectacle.
Much like Enel, they hadn't expected Skypiea Island to be the venue for
the ninth battle.
And they certainly hadn't foreseen Luffy facing off against their own
god... Enel!

Chapter 31 : Straw Hats
Windmill Village…
Luffy gazed at the sky, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"Sky Island... What's that?"
To be honest, he had never heard of such a place before. He knew Ace,
his older brother, was talking to someone on a Den Den Mushi, but
before Ace could finish speaking, the conversation abruptly ended.
Luffy couldn't help but feel a bit downcast.
Meanwhile, the villagers like Dadan and Makino who were standing
behind him were astonished.
"Sky Island?"
"Isn't that a legendary place?"
"Does it even exist in this world?"
"Luffy has been there... I can't believe it."
The crowd was filled with shock and curiosity. They hadn't anticipated
that Luffy's adventures at sea would be this thrilling.
Facing the infamous Shichibukai was one thing, but now he had ventured
to a place of legends, leaving everyone both shocked and eager to know
more.
A group of children, unable to contain their excitement, rushed toward
Luffy. They gathered around him, clamoring for him to share his
adventures on Sky Island.
Luffy looked at them, dumbfounded.
"I haven't been there, so I don't know what it's like."
...
Meanwhile, just before the Ninth Battle was about to commence...
In various places across the East Blue, some individuals stood out as
particularly unique. They were none other than the members of the Straw
Hat Pirates.
In a naval base town:
Zoro, with three swords at his waist, gazed out at the vast blue sea.
"Luffy's hometown is called Windmill Village, right?"
"It's not too far from here."
"I wonder if I'll willingly give my life for this crew in the future."
"In that case, let's find out what kind of captain Luffy is."
With those thoughts, Zoro stepped forward. Whether he was headed in
the direction of Windmill Village or going astray, no one could say.
In Orange Town:
"My Nakama..."
Nami stared at the sky, her eyes filled with despair. She had been
oppressed for far too long by Arlong.
Under the tyranny of the Arlong Pirates, over a dozen nearby towns,
including Orange Town itself, struggled to survive. Nami, too, was forced
to work tirelessly, unable to escape her plight.
At this moment, she could only hope that someone would come to rescue
her and the others, someone she considered immensely important among
those familiar faces.
Could it be her Nakama?
Nami didn't know, but she longed to escape and find the companions
who meant so much to her in those pictures. Yet, as long as Arlong held
sway, she couldn't break free. If she did, her loved ones would suffer the
consequences.
If the bonds and warmth depicted in those images were real, and if she
truly had caring companions who could defeat Arlong...
Then, she would wake up from this nightmare with tears of joy. But for
now...
Arlong was lurking beneath the sea, and if he learned that Straw Hat
Pirates had defeated him, would he return for vengeance?
She couldn't be certain, but one thing was clear: she couldn't escape on
her own.
Nami forced a bitter smile and continued charting the sea.
In Syrup Village:
Usopp raced toward the village in a state of panic.
"What's going on? What's happening?"
He had unmistakably seen a familiar figure in Luffy's journey—someone
wearing ten-clawed gloves!
How could he forget that person? Wasn't that Kaya's butler?
But he was a pirate!?
Usopp's mind was in turmoil, and he was currently in the next town,
buying Kaya, a specialty she loved. However, when he saw a live
broadcast, he discovered the true identity of Kaya's butler.
"Kaya, I'll protect you no matter what!"
Usopp sprinted toward town with determination. Despite his fear, he
would face anything for Kaya's sake.
On the Sea Restaurant, Baratie:
"Hey, kid, aren't you supposed to be searching for your Nakama?"
Zeff approached Sanji leisurely and leaned on the restaurant's railing.
Sanji exhaled a smoke ring. "It may seem that way, but why bother
looking for them now?"
Zeff grinned. "I know you better than that."
"Don't think I don't see it. You were deeply moved earlier, weren't you?"
"Go on, find your Nakama. You can't spend your entire life in this
restaurant."
"Simultaneously, pursue your dream of finding the All Blue, a sea with all
the ingredients. And fulfill that dream for me while you're at it."
Upon hearing this, Sanji's smoking hand froze, and he fell into deep
thought.
In Drum Island:
Chopper gazed at the images in the sky with envy flickering in his young
eyes.
He envied his future self, who had become a skilled doctor, capable of
easily treating injuries sustained by Zoro and Luffy. He envied the fact
that his future self had developed numerous combat forms.
But most of all, he envied his future self for having so many Nakama.
He yearned to find these companions, but the Drum Island held precious
memories and important people for him.
While Chopper was tangled in his emotions, unaware of his surroundings,
a figure stood silently behind him—Kureha, wearing a complicated
expression.
After what felt like an eternity, a decision seemed to settle in her heart.
Without a word, she quietly retreated.

Chapter 32 : Capturing Robin?
In Water 7,
A man with a muscular physique and striking blue hair, donning swim
trunks, stands atop a high vantage point...
And he, naturally, is Franky!
At this moment, Franky found himself bewildered as he gazed upon the
scene. It was because he stood within the Water 7, where he served as
the head of the Franky family.
The Franky Family, led by him, not only thrived as ship dismantlers in
the business, but they were also skilled bounty hunters. Alongside their
day-to-day duties, they took on the role of pirate hunters, defending the
Water 7 that his teacher held dear.
For the sole purpose of atoning for his sins.
It was precisely because of this that Franky found it even more
perplexing to grasp his future self's actions. How had he, of all people,
become a pirate?
Wasn't that a complete contradiction? He was a bounty hunter—someone
who didn't like pirates, yet he now belonged to their ranks?
Franky wore a look of confusion that mirrored Zoro's initial reaction.
However, amidst his astonishment, Franky found himself lost in thought.
Through the sky live broadcast he had witnessed, it was evident that
Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates shared an extraordinary bond. They were
willing to fight relentlessly together, even embracing his rogue nature.
This suggested a deep integration into the pirate crew.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Franky couldn't help but
question himself. Could it be that his future self genuinely cherished the
Straw Hat Pirates?
Or had something happened to alter his very essence during his
transformation?
Florian Triangle, the Dark Sea!
In this perpetually sunless and dismal expanse of ocean, a dilapidated,
colossal pirate ship slowly sailed.
At first glance, it seemed just as lifeless as the dark sea surrounding it,
steeped in an eerie silence. However, upon closer inspection, one
particular skeleton stood out distinctly, and it wasn't just because he
sported a suit but also had an explosive hairstyle.
If ordinary folks were to witness such an appearance, they'd likely be
struck with instant terror.
The scene was simply too bizarre. Yet, this unique skeleton was none
other than one of the Straw Hat Pirates—the one who had consumed the
Revive-Revive Fruit—Brook!
"Will I defeat Moria?"
"Can I recover my shadow?"
"Will I gain new comrades and embark on another adventure?"
Brook gazed vacantly at the sky. With empty eye sockets, he kept his
thoughts hidden from view. However, his desolation was palpable.
Ever since consuming the Revive-Revive Fruit and falling under Moria's
grasp, Brook had lost track of how long he'd been stranded in this dark
sea.
With no sunlight, no companions to converse with, his days were spent
reminiscing and talking to himself.
He yearned for companionship and the solace of conversing, no matter
how trivial it might be.
Hence, when he glimpsed the live broadcast featuring his future self
surrounded by countless companions and forming deep bonds, Brook was
almost moved to tears.
If it weren't for the fact that his shadow had been taken away, trapping
him in the dark sea, he would have set sail immediately in search of
these comrades depicted in the broadcast.
"Since we're comrades, Luffy and the others will surely realize that my
shadow has been stolen."
"They'll return to defeat Moria and help me reclaim it. If that's the case..."
"I shall await their return in patience."
Alabasta!
In this endless desert kingdom, where the scorching sun and fine sand
prevailed, cacti were the sole inhabitants. In this barren desert, a slender
woman with a cowhide hat walked swiftly.
She was none other than a member of the Straw Hat Pirates—Nico
Robin!
Over the years, she had managed to elude the Navy's clutches. Under the
protection of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, she had
covertly operated.
However, with the exposure from the live broadcast, it was apparent that
the Navy was closing in on her location.
In the past, Crocodile had concealed Alabasta's information single-
handedly, concealing their actions and evading Navy pursuit. But now...
With their revelation to the entire world, even Crocodile himself would
be unable to shield her any longer. He might even be ordered by the
Navy to capture and hand her over.
In pursuit of her dreams and to escape Navy pursuit, Robin had no choice
but to leave Alabasta, uncertain of her destination.
Would she seek a hidden refuge or search for her as-yet-unmet comrades?
One thing was clear: she could no longer stay in Alabasta.
Robin's intuition was not amiss. At that very moment, at Navy
Headquarters...
Akainu, having temporarily abandoned the pursuit of Luffy, shifted his
focus to Robin.
"Crocodile, I believe I've come across someone quite remarkable."
With a stern expression, he cast his gaze towards Crocodile, and the other
Navy officers, including Aokiji, Kizaru, and even the Fleet Admiral,
turned their attention to Crocodile.
Crocodile felt a shiver down his spine because he knew exactly who
Akainu was referring to.
When he took Robin under his protection, he had foreseen the possibility
of her discovery by the Navy in the future. After all, her origins were far
from ordinary.
Even at the tender age of eight, her bounty had neared 100 million, a
figure that would prompt the Navy to issue a Buster Call if necessary.
Still, her unique abilities had been enticing enough for him to take the
risk, hiding her within his territory.
But he never could have anticipated...
That she would become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates in the future.
Her exposure on the live broadcast had blown her cover, revealing her
presence to the world.
Crocodile couldn't help but feel a rush of frustration. With Robin's
significance to the World Government, her discovery by the three
Admirals and even the Fleet Admiral himself left no room for salvation.
He would be drawn into the situation as well.
His only recourse was to voluntarily hand her over, pretending
ignorance.
"I'm not sure why this individual with such a bounty has surfaced within
my territory."
"But now that I'm aware of her position and to demonstrate my
cooperation..."
"I shall immediately instruct my subordinates to apprehend her swiftly
and deliver her to the Navy..."
Crocodile's words were a feigned act of ignorance. He had complete
control over Alabasta, and Robin's presence had never escaped his notice.
Akainu and the others understood this but chose not to pursue it. After
all, while Alabasta fell under Navy jurisdiction, it still harbored its share
of secrets.
Their primary goal was to capture the key figures.
"Well then, I will dispatch the Marines to Alabasta with the hope that you
won't deliberately obstruct our efforts."
"The existence of Nico Robin poses a grave danger to the World
Government!"
"If you or your subordinates impede our operations even slightly during
her arrest, you will bear the consequences!"
Crocodile, upon hearing these words, felt an even deeper sense of alarm.
He reluctantly nodded in agreement, concealing his true intentions.
Seeing Crocodile's response, Akainu wore a satisfied expression.
Straw Hat Luffy's connections ran deep, and for now, he remained
untouchable. However, could an orphan who had evaded the Buster Call
escape their grasp?
Unable to capture Luffy, they would seek to apprehend his comrade.
"Survivor of Ohara..Devil's Child Nico Robin. After all these years, I've
finally found you!"

Chapter 33 : Enel
At this moment, the sky began to display a vivid scene...
[On the deserted island, there is a God who cherishes his people, known
as Gan Fall!]
[Under his benevolent rule, the inhabitants of the deserted island led
happy and healthy lives. But this tranquility was shattered with the
arrival of a stranger...]
["Gan Fall, your power is insufficient to be the God of this deserted
island. You might as well relinquish your position to me!"]
[A shirtless man with three spherical thunder drums strapped to his back
and wielding a scepter slowly approached the temple.]
[His face bore a mocking and contemptuous grin, as if he didn't care
about Enel or anyone else before him.]
"Have you no fear of insulting a god?"
[Enel's countless guards, incensed, brandished their weapons and charged
forward.]
"God? Preposterous..."
"I am the true god!"
[Countless bolts of thunder erupted from his body, and in an instant, he
unleashed devastation.]
[The terrifying thunder obliterated everything in its path, including the
numerous guards and the God of the deserted island, including Gan Fall.]
[Despite this destruction, the man before him remained nonchalant, as if
it required no effort at all.]
His mocking and disdainful smile remained unaltered as he gazed upon
the entire populace of the deserted island and declared, "Remember this
day, for your god shall henceforth be known as... Enel!"
Thunder roared!
As the scene unfolded, the entire world was left stunned!
Countless factions witnessed this spectacle, their faces reflecting shock
and awe.
The power and dominance exhibited by Enel were overwhelming. Even
with numerous guards and the former God, Enel, present, his single move
defeated them all.
With a mere wave of his hand, a terrifying surge of thunder left people
trembling, feeling utterly hopeless.
Marines Headquarters!
Kizaru, Sengoku, and the three admirals, including Aokiji, gazed at the
spectacle in the sky, their expressions shifting slightly.
"Enel... Has he mastered the power of lightning?"
"Could it be a Devil Fruit ability?"
Sengoku's eyes narrowed slightly, pondering.
Kizaru nodded, adding, "It's highly likely."
"I believe I've come across records of this ability in our department's
files..."
"It's known as... the Goro Goro no Mi!"
These words sent shockwaves through everyone present, including
Doflamingo and others.
"What?"
"Goro Goro no Mi?"
Today, there are countless Devil Fruits across the seas, divided into three
categories: Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia.
Even those with extensive knowledge may not be familiar with all Devil
Fruits unless they've seen records of them.
However, some Devil Fruits have already gained notoriety even without
appearing on the seas.
The Goro Goro no Mi is one such fruit!
Whether within the Marines or among pirates, countless individuals
know of its terrifying capabilities and covet its power.
Who wouldn't desire such a Devil Fruit?
"I never expected the Goro Goro no Mi, which has been absent for so
long, to be on this deserted island."
"It's no wonder this man called Enel is so formidable."
"Consuming the Goro Goro no Mi grants even the most inept person
unimaginable destructive power, let alone someone with inherent
strength."
"It's truly frightening..."
"Based on this display alone, his power rivals that of the Seven Warlords
of the Sea!"
The conversation between Kizaru, Sengoku, and the others reached the
ears of the Shichibukai in the background: Crocodile, Jinbei, Mihawk,
and others.
They weren't disdainful or dismissive, but rather, they agreed
wholeheartedly.
That's because they too recognized the extraordinary strength displayed
by Enel in the image!
If this individual were born in the Grand Line, whether as a pirate or a
member of the Marines, he would be an immensely formidable presence.
At least among the seven individuals present, aside from Mihawk, who
exuded confidence.
The other six harbored uncertainty...
Even Mihawk's eyes held a hint of solemnity.
He had absolute faith in his swordsmanship, but facing him...
Even if victory were assured, it would undoubtedly require substantial
effort.
In any case, this individual was incredibly powerful!
Simultaneously, aside from the shock at the Marines Headquarters,
countless pirate crews across the seas, as well as the distant
Revolutionary Army and ordinary civilians, witnessed the image and
were equally astounded.
Whitebeard, Shanks, Dragon, and other well-informed individuals shared
the sentiment.
Enel, the God of the deserted island and Luffy's adversary in this
conflict...
The terror he displayed surpassed all expectations!
Enel's might was in no way comparable to that of Moria...

Chapter 34 : Straw Hat at Sky
Island
The screen continued to play.
[They saw a pirate ship slowly approaching, with a flag bearing a skull
and crossbones, topped by a straw hat.]
[There was no doubt; this was none other than the Straw Hat Pirates!]
[Luffy and his companions stood at the ship's bow, gazing eagerly at the
island before them.]
[This journey was taking them to a legendary place—the Sky Island!]
[While the existence of the Sky Island seemed unbelievable, Luffy
remained unwavering in his belief.]
[With determination in his heart, Luffy, accompanied by Zoro, Nami, and
the others, disembarked and headed to the town to gather information
from the villagers.]
[However, when Luffy shared his intention to reach the Sky Island at a
tavern, he was met with ridicule because it was considered a mere
legend.]
[In the eyes of the townsfolk, Luffy and his crew were just dream-chasers,
fools following a myth.]
[Yet, Luffy remained resolute in his belief in the Sky Island's existence
and responded with unwavering determination.]
"Pursuing one's dreams should never be mocked!"
[Finally...]
[After some inquiries, Luffy and his crew located the island's sole
inhabitant who knew the way to Sky Island.]
[Guided by two gorillas, they made their way to the sea's center, the only
route to Sky Island.]
[This route was none other than the Knock Up Stream—a colossal
whirlpool resembling a black hole.]
[It seemed as though any passing ship would be sucked into the abyss,
swallowed by its unforgiving depths.]
[The mere sight of it sent shivers down one's spine.]
[Above this treacherous path, a towering ocean current reached into the
sky, its end unseen.]
[In the face of this daunting route, Luffy remained unwavering.]
[Despite the hardships and dangers it promised, he would not back
down.]
[That was what adventure was all about.]
"Let's go, towards the Sky Island!"
[With Luffy's command, Nami, Usopp, and the others wasted no time and
steered the ship directly into the Knock Up Stream...]
As the scene played out, those watching the live broadcast couldn't help
but feel a stirring in their hearts.
Their emotions swelled not only because of the captivating scene but also
due to Luffy's unwavering commitment to his dream.
His fearlessness and willingness to take risks infected everyone watching.
Dreams were something that many people in the world once had but
gradually forgot as they grew older.
Whether they were marines, pirates, or countless adventurers, they had
all started their journeys with the same unwavering determination that
Luffy displayed in that moment.
However, somewhere along the way, they had all lost sight of their
original aspirations.
They had become the people in the town who laughed at Luffy's dreams.
The viewers were moved because, in that moment, they saw a different
side of Luffy—a boy with a straw hat, a simple appearance, and an
unwavering spirit.
He had held onto his original intentions, and his crew, in their own way,
supported him wholeheartedly.
Despite occasional disagreements, they would always stand by Luffy's
side in the end.
This dedication to their dreams and trust in one another left everyone
admiring and envious.
The Whitebeard Pirates!
Many captains and crew members watched in silence, seeing their own
reflections in Luffy and his crew.
Among all pirate crews, the Whitebeard Pirates were the warmest and
most tightly-knit.
Whitebeard treated his crew like his own children, and in turn, they
considered him their father.
This bond, forged without blood ties, created a sense of family among the
crewmembers.
It was something the Whitebeard Pirates took great pride in.
As they watched the Straw Hat Pirates, they felt that same sense of
family.
It was as if this wasn't just a pirate crew but also a family.
Whitebeard sat on his massive chair, lost in thought for a while.
Finally, he smiled and expressed his satisfaction.
"I've traveled my entire life, faced countless struggles and tribulations.
These experiences shaped the big family of the Whitebeard Pirates, and
you all are my greatest source of pride."
"But it took me nearly half my life to achieve this..."
"The Straw Hat Pirates, on the other hand, have had this from the very
beginning."
"They're not just partners; they're family!"
"It's a world apart from the other pirate crews formed for selfish desires,
ambitions, and treasure hunting."
"I really like the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"Ace, your brother is fortunate..."
Ace, upon hearing this, scratched his head with a proud smile.
The Red-Haired Pirates!
"Luffy..."
Shanks gazed at the image of Luffy with a softening expression in his
eyes.
As one of the Four Emperors and a seasoned pirate, he had traveled the
seas for many years, visiting countless countries and towns, meeting
countless people.
But the one who had left the deepest impression on him, the one who felt
truly special, was Luffy.
It wasn't just because Luffy had eaten a Devil Fruit of his back then...
The main reason was that Shanks saw a reflection of his younger self in
Luffy.
He saw the determination never to admit defeat, the unyielding pursuit
of dreams, and the refusal to look back.
That was why, after making a pact with Luffy, he had given him the
priceless straw hat directly.
Although he had questioned it more than once later on...
Luffy had been just a child back then. Would he truly follow through
with their agreement? Would he forget his original intentions?
But now, it was clear...
He had overthought everything.
Luffy was still the same Luffy.
That straw hat was worth more than anything Shanks possessed.
His judgment had been right!
Luffy was unique...
He was the future of the new era.
Perhaps one day, he would stand alongside Shanks or even surpass him.
And maybe, they would fulfill the agreement they had made and
find...The Legendary...
One Piece!

Chapter 35 : Sky Island
"Luffy, I look forward to that day," Shanks said with a smile. "To fulfill
the promise we made back then."
The reason Shanks cared so deeply about Luffy wasn't just out of
gratitude. Perhaps... he was the one who imparted his dream to Luffy!
Seeing Luffy was like seeing his own dreams...
...
[Before long, the pirate group arrived at the edge of the whirlpool. All
they had to do was wait for the current to erupt, which would propel
them straight to the Sky Island!]
[Of course, even though it sounds easy, the dangers involved are beyond
imagination!]
[A Sea King had just passed by the edge of the whirlpool and was
instantly sucked in by its terrifying suction force.]
[Sea Kings are already larger than warships, with unimaginable strength.
Yet, they couldn't escape the vortex's pull.]
[This path was fraught with peril from the very beginning, and the
dangers that lay ahead were unimaginable...]
[Even the pirate ship carrying Luffy and his crew couldn't hold out much
longer, seemingly on the brink of being engulfed by the whirlpool.]
[However, despite the looming danger, Luffy's face showed no signs of
panic; his expression remained resolute as he gazed at the sky.]
"I have to go to that Sky Island myself!" he declared.
[This wasn't just about satisfying their curiosity; it was about proving
that dreams are just as real as those who had once laughed at them.]
[Then, suddenly, the sea grew calm...]
[The massive whirlpool vanished instantly, leaving everyone in shock as
they stared at the now tranquil sea.]
"The current is about to erupt!" Nami exclaimed.
And indeed, as Nami spoke, a torrent of water suddenly shot into the sky
like a pillar of optimism, piercing through the clouds.
[This tremendous force lifted the entire Straw Hat Pirate Ship into the
air, propelling them toward the heavens.]
Everything now appeared safe, but reaching Sky Island wouldn't be that
simple.
[Because they were ascending with the ocean currents' help, the ship had
detached from the pull of gravity.]
[If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the ship was peeled away
from the current and plummeted heavily from such a height.]
[At this altitude, a fall to the water's surface would likely result in
everyone being reduced to pulp.]
Faced with imminent danger, Nami, the navigator, ordered the crew to
unfurl all the sails. With the wind's assistance, the ship briefly slid
higher...
Throughout the journey, they encountered dangers like wind, currents,
high altitudes, gravity, and vibrations.
[At this moment, Luffy and his crew were in extreme peril, but they had
no choice; they could only move forward.]
[Either they would successfully ride this current to the Sky Island, or...]
[They would plummet from the sky and be reduced to nothing.]
Those watching the live broadcast couldn't help but gasp at the
dangerous scene on their screens.
Did Sky Islands really exist?
Even if they didn't, the sight of this current rising from the sky was
astonishing enough!
But what impressed them even more was the Straw Hat Pirates' courage.
In the face of such danger, they dared to press on. Weren't they afraid of
shipwrecks?
Viewers stared at the screen, filled with dread.
Experiencing it themselves was unthinkable.
If they were flying through the air, their legs would go weak instantly,
rendering them unable to stand.
Even sea bigwigs like Garp, Sengoku, Whitebeard, Shanks, and others
were horrified by the scene.
They knew Sky Islands existed.
They also knew that the path to the Sky Island was through this knock up
current.
But they had never attempted it themselves, so they only knew it was
dangerous...
But they had no idea it was this perilous!?
For a moment, they watched Luffy and his crew, who were still headed
for the Sky Island in the screen, and silently sweated.
Garp, in particular, seemed unfazed, but sweat dripped from his
forehead.
Inside, his heart was a tumultuous mix of anger and worry.
"Kid... How could you be so reckless? The Grand Line is vast; you didn't
need to go to the skies! Are you really unafraid of death? Even when a
sailor ought to be cautious, you act so recklessly, without any
consideration for this old man's feelings! The next time I see that brat, I'll
give him a proper talking to..."
[Finally, after a long and treacherous journey...]
[Luffy and his crew, along with their pirate ship, endured countless
dangers and climbed an unknown distance.]
[In a blinding flash of white light, they broke through the clouds...]
[When they looked again, the Knock Up Stream had vanished, replaced
by an endless sea of white clouds.]
[The sea of clouds before them stretched as far as the eye could see,
resembling a land made of clouds, truly peculiar.]
[Luffy and his crew were left in awe at the breathtaking sight before
them...]
Those who watched the broadcast were equally astonished.
The Sky Island... It really did exist!
And it was even more extraordinary than they could have imagined...

Chapter 36 : Lightening?
Luffy and his crew hailed from the Blue Sea, and they had never ventured
above the clouds or set foot on the legendary Sky Island. Everything
before them felt incredibly strange!
Luffy, utilizing the powers of his Gomu Gomu no Mi, extended his
rubbery arm to explore among the countless clouds. Eventually, they
stumbled upon two flying fish – the same creatures as those found on Sky
Island!
"Wow! Fish actually live in the clouds!" Luffy's eyes sparkled with
wonder, and his excitement was shared by Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and the
rest of the crew.
As the scene continued to unfold, they marveled at the wonders of Sky
Island. High above the clouds, an island existed, resembling both land
and a palace – truly a magnificent sight.
Here, they encountered creatures and plants entirely different from what
they knew in the Blue Sea, alongside familiar elements like trees, land,
and rocks, all existing at an astonishing altitude of 10,000 meters above
the ocean.
The clouds served as both oceans and land, capable of being cut and used
like rocks. Even more astonishing, the inhabitants of Sky Island sported
small wings resembling those of angels.
As the entire Blue Sea audience beheld this sight, they were overcome
with shock! The entire world now knew that Sky Island was real, and it
matched the legends in every fantastical detail.
Just as the Sky Island's god, Enel, had been curious about the Blue Sea
when watching the live broadcast, the Blue Sea inhabitants were equally
fascinated by Sky Island.
After all, for them, Sky Island had remained a legend, known only to a
select few like the Marines, Sengoku, and Garp, who had never ventured
there personally.
Now, as they witnessed Sky Island's wonders unfold before their eyes –
one magical scene after another – they were left in awe.
"It truly resembles the descriptions in our historical records," someone
marveled. "I can't believe Garp's grandson made it up there."
Simultaneously, the broadcast continued to reveal more:
Luffy and his crew had only just arrived on the outskirts of Sky Island,
and Nami had already determined their path forward.
Along the way, they encountered some of the native Sky Islanders and
gleaned essential information about their new surroundings. They
learned that very few people from the Blue Sea had ever visited Sky
Island, with such occurrences happening only once every few years.
Originally, Luffy and his crew had planned to spend a couple of days
exploring and adapting to Sky Island's unique environment, but fate had
other plans.
Nami, Luffy, and Sanji hid the ship and ventured into the island's forest,
where they were captivated by the strange flora and fauna.
Suddenly, the crew noticed a commotion not far away. Three Sky
Islanders with wings were chasing a Blue Sea individual. This unexpected
turn of events piqued their curiosity.
They had never imagined that other Blue Sea dwellers could be present
on Sky Island, and now, someone was being pursued and in grave danger.
Driven by their curiosity, Luffy and his crew approached cautiously from
behind to assess the situation.
As they drew nearer, they got a clear look at the three winged Sky
Islanders – a bald man with peculiar facial markings, one with a flight
cap and glasses, and an obese individual resembling a human ball. Their
menacing demeanor suggested that they were not to be taken lightly, and
it was evident they intended to harm the fleeing Blue Sea person.
Just as Luffy, Solon, and the others debated whether to intervene on
behalf of their fellow Blue Sea inhabitant, another group suddenly
appeared.
These newcomers, dressed in peculiar attire, glided gracefully through
the sky above the clouds, wielding massive cannons. Their target? None
other than the three winged Sky Islanders!
This abrupt battle left Luffy and his crew dumbfounded. They had never
anticipated such a complex situation upon their arrival on Sky Island.
Meanwhile, the Blue Sea individual, who had been fleeing, saw a brief
opportunity to escape during the chaos.
However...
Just as they took a few steps, a blinding flash of white light streaked
across the sky, and in an instant...
**BOOM!**
A bolt of lightning struck down from above...

Chapter 37 : Worry for Luffy
Suddenly, an unexpected scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Everyone who witnessed it couldn't help but be stunned!
["A massive thunderbolt descended, engulfing the fleeing Blue Sea's
people!"]
["In an instant, they were completely obliterated!"]
["The thunderous roar and the ensuing chaos caught everyone's
attention...]
[Upon seeing this, the group of raiders seemed to glimpse something
immensely frightening and fled without hesitation.]
[Shortly after the thunderstorm dissipated, the Blue Sea's individuals had
vanished without a trace...]
["Nearly half of the island lay in ruins, with countless fragments scattered
everywhere, leaving everyone in awe...]
["The destructive force was akin to being bombarded by countless
battleship shells!"]
["Luffy, Zoro and his companions, concealed in the shadows, were
equally shocked."]
["This power is nothing short of terrifying!"]
["At that moment, the three inhabitants of the Sky island who had
pursued the Blue Sea's people turned grave and reverent."]
["Lord Enel has acted; on this Sky island, none can escape God's
judgment!"]
[Hearing this, Luffy, concealed in the shadows, was dumbfounded...]
["God's judgment?"]
["What kind of god is that!?"]
...
Meanwhile, at the Marine Headquarters!
Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Kizaru, and other Marines widened their eyes in
astonishment.
The same went for the group behind them, including Crocodile...
There was no need to guess; the shocking scene in the picture was the
work of Enel, the Thunder Fruit user of the Sky island!
This was utter devastation...
He had instantly vaporized all the people and reduced half of the island
to rubble!
Everyone was awed; it was truly one of the most formidable abilities
among the Logia Devil Fruits!
Astonishing!
The destructive power was terrifying...
Was this the legendary god of the sky island?
The God that controlled thunder...
"This was just a casual attack. No one knows how terrifying Enel, the god
of the Sky island, can be when he goes all out!"]
Smoking a cigar, Crocodile was composed on the outside but anxious
within.
Kuma, The tyrant nodded in agreement.
["This individual's strength, if he appears in the Grand Line, will likely
instill fear in many!"]
["At least, from what we've seen, his strength surpasses that of most in
the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."]
The Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock, Doflamingo, and others wore somber
expressions.
As the footage played on, they began to realize that Enel's strength was
even more terrifying than they had imagined!
Before, they might have considered themselves slightly superior to Enel.
Now, having witnessed the destruction, their confidence wavered.
At the very least, none of them could replicate such horrifying
destruction with a single blow, reducing half of an island to rubble...
Garp and Sengoku stood forward, their expressions gravely concerned.
To be honest, among the dozen or so present, they were the most
concerned about Luffy's safety.
After all, one was Luffy's grandfather, and the other was Garp's old
comrade, an elder to Luffy.
Despite Luffy becoming a pirate, Sengoku still regarded him as a junior...
Thus, upon seeing Enel's strength, both couldn't help but worry about
Luffy's well-being.
Though Luffy now possessed the power to defeat Moria, facing such a
formidable adversary, how could he hope to emerge victorious?
...
Whitebeard Pirates!
"Luffy..."
Ace leaned against the ship's railing, eyes fixed on the sky, his face
etched with concern.
Truthfully, Enel had yet to make a direct appearance on the live
broadcast.
But with just two casual attacks, he had already displayed unimaginable
power!
Even today, Ace hesitated to guarantee a victory if he were to face this
so-called god of the Sky island...
And the Luffy in the image was still in his formative years.
Could he and his few crewmates truly overcome such a powerful foe?
Not just Ace, even Whitebeard, who sat nearby, watched the footage of
Enel effortlessly shattering half the island, his expression turning solemn.
Such devastating power from a mere casual strike was unprecedented,
even in the Grand Line.
Compared to their battle with Moria, this man was on a completely
different level...
Although they weren't overly concerned for themselves, it was a different
story for Luffy.
If before, they had confidence in Ace's choice of Luffy as the future Pirate
King, now they found themselves filled with uncertainty.
Luffy... Would likely lose.
Because they couldn't fathom how Luffy could emerge victorious against
such an overwhelming adversary.

Chapter 38 : Onlooker's Worry
Red-Haired Pirates…
"Luffy is in danger!"
"Yes, I didn't expect to encounter such a formidable opponent on this Sky
island."
"The Goro Goro no Mi truly lives up to its name, one of the most
terrifying Logia devil fruit."
"Luffy, this young man has quite the thunderous power. Why don't you
pay your respects to the God of this Sky island?"
"But isn't the Devil Fruit supposed to be in the Blue Sea? How did it end
up on this Sky island?"
Benn Beckman, Jesus Burgess, and the other core members of the Red-
Haired Pirates gazed at the sky, expressing their astonishment.
Similar to the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates, they were all
awestruck by the devastating power displayed by Enel.
They were well aware of the fearsome capabilities of the Goro Goro no
Mi.
Even though they had history with Luffy and his crew, they had to
acknowledge the current situation. They doubted Luffy's chances of
winning this battle.
From their perspective, the odds of victory for the Straw Hat Pirates
seemed exceedingly slim.
This wasn't like their encounter with Gecko Moria, where a glimmer of
hope remained. This time, there was no hope whatsoever.
Red-Haired Shanks, seated on the ground, remained silent,
contemplating.
After a prolonged moment, he raised his head, his expression grave but
resolute.
"I still have faith... Luffy will still win."
Shanks' declaration left Beckman and the others dumbfounded.
"No, Captain, have you been drinking the sake too hard?"
Shanks' serious demeanor transformed into a smile.
"I'm not drunk. I believe in Luffy, and he made a promie with me. He's
destined to become the Pirate King one day."
"If he can't overcome this hurdle, how can he fulfill our agreement?"
Upon hearing Shanks' words, his crew wore puzzled expressions.
What did Luffy's victory over Enel have to do with becoming the Pirate
King?
Could defeating Enel truly be the key to achieving that lofty title?
Or would losing here make it impossible?
They concluded that their captain must have overindulged in sake once
more.
Shanks laughed, undisturbed by their confusion.
In the end, he placed his trust in Luffy.
While conventional wisdom dictated that Luffy had little chance of
winning this battle, there was something about him that inspired
unwavering confidence.
---
[Luffy, Zoro, and the others concealed themselves in the shadows,
observing the three individuals from the Sky island.]
[From their conversation, they gleaned startling information.]
[These three are the God's Officers, the priests serving under Enel.]
[They are, aside from Enel himself, the most powerful figures on the Sky
island.]
[They had just witnessed these priests pursue and execute a man from
Skypiea for evading the island's entrance fee.]
[These Angels were responsible for such minor matters, as the true God,
Enel, could monitor the entire island at any moment.]
[Their actions, speech, and even thoughts were all laid bare before him.]
[Thus, Enel occasionally eavesdropped on the island's inhabitants to
gauge their sentiments.]
[By chance, he had witnessed the priests' chase and execution of the
Skypiean, perhaps out of boredom or for amusement.]
[In response, he summoned a thunderbolt to administer swift
punishment.]
[Learning this news, Luffy and the others grew anxious.]
[After all, they hadn't paid the entrance fee upon arriving on the island,
citing a lack of funds.]
[Did this mean they would be pursued and executed by these three
priests if they were discovered?]
[If the island's so-called God, Enel, detected them, would he call down
thunder to obliterate them as well?]
[Luffy, Zoro, and their companions were deeply troubled. What kind of
monster was this Enel?]
[Could he truly be a god?]
[One who could oversee the entire Sky island?]
[With such a vast island, how could he possibly observe everyone's
actions?]
[They realized the urgency of returning to inform the others.]
[Only Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and the rest had ventured out, while Usopp,
Sanji, Robin, and Chopper remained at the home of the kindly Kojima.]
[Such earth-shattering news necessitated immediate sharing.]
[Failure to act swiftly might lead to the same fate as the Skypiean man
they had witnessed earlier.]
[They might fall victim to the priests, or even to Enel, the god who could
monitor the entire Sky island and unleash thunderbolts without
hesitation.]
[Zoro and Luffy weren't overly concerned, but Nami knew that their rash
actions on the island could jeopardize their future adventures, treasure
hunts, and even their lives.]
[Thus, she grabbed Zoro and Luffy, boarded the Going Merry, and raced
back the way they had come.]
---
At this moment, nearly half of the world's onlookers shared Nami's
anxiety as they watched the live broadcast.
The other half remained shocked.
As the footage unfolded, it became increasingly evident that Enel, the
god of the Sky island, was even more formidable than previously
believed.
His consistently overwhelming power and his ability to monitor the
entire island left everyone in awe.
How could this be possible?
Was Enel truly different from ordinary mortals, possessing god-like
abilities?

Chapter 39 : Eliminate Enel?
"Red-Haired Pirates!"
Shanks gazed at the image on the Den Den Mushi, his expression grave.
"Stay in one place and monitor every movement on that entire island."
"Could this be... Haki?" Beckman mused aloud.
As Beckman, Jesus Burgess, and the rest heard this, contemplation
overtook their faces.
Enel's power did bear a striking resemblance to Haki—a latent ability
found within all humans.
It's an innate power, yet not everyone can unlock it; it requires a certain
level of awakening.
Enel's capability to monitor everyone's actions, even their thoughts,
resembled the Observation Haki's sense and perception.
It felt similar, as it allowed him to detect the strength of his opponents
and deduce their positions beyond the range of sight.
With enough mastery, one could even foresee an opponent's immediate
future actions.
However, this depth of ability required substantial strength.
Once someone mastered Haki, they could become one of the mightiest on
the Grand Line.
But what puzzled Shanks and his crew was...
"Can Haki cover such a vast area?"
"I've never heard of it..."
Doubt filled Shanks' expression.
Regardless of whether Enel's ability was Haki or something else entirely,
it presented a significant problem for Luffy and his group.
"Luffy, will you surprise me in this battle as you did in the last one?"
---
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters...
The concerns raised by Shanks and his crew were also noticed by Garp,
Sengoku, and others.
As the highest-ranking officers within the Marines, the Admirals, the
Fleet Admiral, and even the Warlords were well-versed in the knowledge
of Haki.
They too believed that Enel's abilities were linked to Haki in some way.
Yet, there remained a lingering uncertainty—how could his Observation
Haki extend to cover the entire island?
Questions swirled in their minds.
Perhaps this was a unique aspect of the sky island's inhabitants...
Regardless, Enel's formidable power, coupled with this peculiar ability,
posed a significant threat to the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Garp, your grandson is in danger!" Sengoku shook his head with a tinge
of worry in his eyes.
As the image on the Den Den Mushi revealed, Enel, the self-proclaimed
god of Skypiea, grew increasingly powerful.
His displayed abilities became more terrifying with each passing
moment.
Could the Straw Hat Pirates, with their current strength, confront such a
formidable adversary?
Moreover, they were treading on Enel's home turf.
The question was no longer about winning the battle but whether they
could escape this terrifying foe with their lives intact.
Garp didn't utter a word in response but headed straight for the exit.
Sengoku questioned, "Where are you going?"
Garp, his expression steely, replied while walking away, "I'm going to
Skypiea."
Upon witnessing this, the Admirals—Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji—as well
as the Seven Warlords, were left perplexed.
Skypiea? Why go to Skypiea?
However, as Garp's old comrade, Sengoku suddenly comprehended his
intentions.
Garp may appear jovial and carefree, but only when nothing threatened
what he held dear. When it came to protecting his family and
homeland...
His sense of justice, personified by his iron fist, would become
abundantly clear.
Over the years, whenever Garp returned to the East Blue, he captured
numerous pirates.
This was one of the reasons why, in contrast to the other seas, the East
Blue remained relatively pirate-free. All those pirates had been
apprehended by Garp himself.
Others may not understand Garp's motivations, but Sengoku did. Garp's
actions were driven by his desire to safeguard his homeland and family
from the threat of pirates.
When Luffy fought Moria earlier, despite the odds being against him,
there was no need to panic. However, facing a foe as formidable as Enel...
Even Garp, Luffy's grandfather, believed Luffy had little chance of victory
and that his life was at stake.
Thus, Garp moved to Skypiea with the intent to confront Enel head-on, to
eliminate the threat before it reached his grandson.
Upon hearing Garp's declaration, the atmosphere tensed. Sengoku
intervened forcefully, stopping Garp in his tracks.
"Garp, don't act impulsively!"
Garp's face remained stern, and his voice carried anger and
determination.
"Enel will die, I will make sure of it!"
With these words, the truth became clear to everyone present.
Garp intended to eliminate Enel, the source of the danger, before his
grandson faced a grave peril.
The most effective way to address the threat was to eliminate it at its
root.
This was non-negotiable.
Even the likes of Kuma and Mihawk had their mouths twitching,
astonished by Garp's resolve.
Was this the same old man who habitually wore a dog-faced hat,
munched on rice crackers, and took naps?
Such was the extent of his unwavering determination.

Chapter 40 : Garp
Everyone noticed the bruises on Garp's forehead.
Even though Garp remained silent, his intense aura of determination was
palpable to everyone present.
Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru, and even Doflamingo, and Crocodile, the
members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, couldn't help but feel a sense
of shock deep within their hearts.
Though they had never faced Garp in combat, they were well aware of
his legendary reputation within the Marines.
Despite holding the rank of Vice Admiral, he was a living legend among
the Navy ranks.
A Marine Hero, respected by all who served under the World
Government's flag.
Even without a Devil Fruit power, Garp possessed incredible Haki and the
most formidable weapon in the world – his fearsome iron fists.
He defeated the notorious Rocks Pirates, pushed the Pirate King Gol D.
Roger to his limits on multiple occasions, and captured the Golden Lion
Shiki.
Each of these accomplishments reverberated throughout the world,
earning him admiration from both pirates and marines alike.
Had Garp not been so adamant about rejecting promotions, it was likely
that he would have held the position of Fleet Admiral today, instead of
Sengoku.
Hence, whether it was the admirals like Aokiji or the Seven Warlords like
Mihawk, there was no doubt in their minds.
If Garp were to leave this room and set sail for the Sky Island, the self-
proclaimed "god" Enel who resided there, no matter how powerful, would
meet an inevitable fate – death.
As for the arduous journey to the Sky Island...
If Garp willed it, it would pose no challenge at all.
Even the likes of Akainu and Mihawk believed this to be true, and
Sengoku, Garp's long-time partner, understood it better than anyone.
Enel's death would be a minor issue; the real concern was Garp's temper.
If he were truly unleashed upon the Sky Island...
It would undoubtedly become a cataclysmic event!
If not approached with care, the entire island might be obliterated.
Such an incident would surely send shockwaves throughout the world,
affecting the World Government itself!
This couldn't be allowed!
"You need to calm down, Garp!"
"Let's not rush into judgment concerning what might happen in the
future."
"The events we've seen in those images are yet to occur, and there's no
need to be hasty."
Garp's anger flared, "Just because they haven't happened yet doesn't
mean I should wait for Luffy to face such a grave danger!"
"I won't allow anyone to threaten my grandson's life!"
These words, spoken with unwavering determination, sent shockwaves
through the room.
Even Moria was momentarily stunned and terrified.
Is this old man truly that fearsome?
During their previous battle against Luffy, he appeared unconcerned,
even laughing.
Could it be that he had been contemplating whether to kill him or not?
If someone in the images threatened Luffy's life, would Garp react the
same way?
Moria felt a shiver down his spine.
Enel was on the distant Sky Island, while Garp was right here in Marine
Headquarters.
If Garp wanted to end him, he could do so without moving, and Moria
wouldn't withstand a single punch.
The thought sent shivers down Moria's spine.
At that moment, he was grateful that Luffy had defeated him before.
Had the situation been reversed, he might be in grave danger now.
He would rather suffer defeat at Luffy's hands than face Garp's wrath.
Listening to Garp's words, cold sweat formed on Sengoku's brow.
"Do you lack confidence in your grandson to this extent?"
"What if the outcome is different from what you anticipate, and Luffy
emerges victorious?"
"Furthermore, these are future events; we haven't witnessed the entire
battle yet."
"Even if we watch the entire battle, it's never too late to make a decision."
Perhaps fearing that his words wouldn't persuade Garp, Sengoku's mind
raced, and he continued:
"Let's do this. If, after watching the entire battle, it becomes clear that
Enel poses a genuine threat to Luffy's life..."
"Even if the Navy can't officially dispatch forces against Enel, even if I
have to step down from my position as Fleet Admiral, I will accompany
you to the Sky Island and arrest Enel."
"What do you think?"
Though he didn't believe Luffy could win, Sengoku needed to placate
Garp for now.
Sengoku's words left Akainu, Mihawk, and the others momentarily
stunned.
This was escalating rapidly.
Sengoku was willing to relinquish the title of Fleet Admiral and even
arrest someone?
It was clear that their brotherly bond and friendship was stronger than
ever.
Garp's might was already terrifying, and Sengoku was no pushover either.
If they joined forces, Enel was doomed.
Upon hearing this, Garp's anger gradually subsided.
He had been rash.
The battle hadn't even started, so how could he predict Luffy's defeat?
Regardless of the overwhelming odds stacked against Luffy in this fight,
he was Garp's grandson.
What if, by some miracle, Luffy emerged victorious?
Considering this, Garp nodded, finally letting go of his immediate urge to
set sail for the Sky Island.
Sengoku and the others breathed sighs of relief.
Meanwhile, the sky projection continued to play:
"After learning of the danger they faced, Nami urgently led Luffy, Zoro,
and the others toward their pirate ship, with the intention of instructing
Robin and her group to flee the Sky Island."
"However, unbeknownst to them, Robin, Chopper, Usopp, and others
were already surrounded by the forces of the Sky Island."
"A group of white-bereted Sky Island soldiers had completely encircled
them, including their pirate ship..."

Chapter 41 : God's Trial
The White Berets - Enforcers of the Sky Island, obedient to Enel's
command.
Upon discovering that the Straw Hat Pirates hadn't paid the entrance fee,
they swiftly encircled them...
This was merely a warning. To gain legal entry, they needed to pay
tenfold the fee.
However, Nami, who cherished money more than life itself, had no
intention of complying.
Furthermore, even if she wanted to pay, they lacked the funds. Most of
the money aboard the ship was reserved for Luffy, the gluttonous captain.
Before anyone could react, Nami, pulling Luffy and Zoro with her, led the
charge!
This marked a definitive falling-out between the Straw Hat Pirates and
the Sky Island inhabitants!
"Chase them! Capture the illegal immigrants!" shouted Captain White
Berets, prompting an immediate onslaught against Luffy and his crew.
In this moment, Luffy and Zoro, who had been feeling rather famished,
found themselves invigorated.
While the White Berets had numbers and peculiar Sky Island weaponry,
they were clearly outmatched.
Luffy dispatched the grunts with ease, and they prepared to set sail,
leaving the turmoil behind.
Windmill Village!
"Wow..."
Luffy gazed at the sky with unbridled anticipation, his eyes reflecting the
fervor burning within him.
Though he had yet to set sail, the captivating adventures depicted in
those images had ignited his longing for the journey ahead.
Trusted comrades, thrilling exploits, and formidable adversaries – were
these not what they sought?
Luffy's curiosity about the impending adventures surged.
Would they leave Sky Island or further explore its mysteries?
What kind of confrontation awaited them when they crossed paths with
the so-called gods of Sky Island?
And when would he meet the companions depicted in those images?
Such anticipation made him yearn for the unfolding odyssey.
Contrastingly, behind him, Dadan, Makino, and the villagers trembled,
unable to even breathe.
The existence of Sky Island, a mere legend until now, was profoundly
staggering to them.
Their current encirclement by the military was enough to paralyze them
with fear.
Yet, Luffy exhibited no fear, promptly confronting them.
The boy sure knows how to stir up trouble.
Luffy remained Luffy, after all...
As the crew prepared to board the ship, an unexpected event unfolded
yet again!
Boom!!!
The Merry hadn't even begun its departure when it abruptly lurched
forward, leaving Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji stranded on the dock.
"Hey, Nami, why didn't they wait for us to board?" Sanji inquired,
bewildered.
However, not only Sanji and the others but also Nami, Zoro, and Robin
on the ship were confounded.
The ship hadn't even set sail yet – why was it moving away?
At that moment, everyone witnessed a colossal lobster beneath the
Merry, towing the entire ship forward. Following it were countless sea
monster-like creatures native to Sky Island.
Uncle Kujima, accompanying Luffy's group, was taken aback by this
spectacle!
"This is... Lord Enel's priests, overseer of the Ordeals, the God's Trial
begins!"
Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp were left in stunned silence.
"God's Trial, Ordeals... What is this? Do they need to undergo this trial
and Ordeals?" Sanji inquired.
Uncle Kushima fixed Luffy with a serious gaze and clarified, "No, it's not
the ship's occupants who must face this trial and Ordeals, but... you
three!"
"The three of us!?" Luffy and his comrades were further bewildered.
Revolutionary Army Base Camp...
"Ordeals?"
"God's Trial?"
Sabo and the others gazed at the sky, their expressions turning somber.
The Straw Hat Pirates had just triumphed over the White Berets, and now
the God's Trial had commenced immediately.
Could it be true, as previously suggested? Did Enel, as a God, oversee the
entirety of Sky Island, monitoring every move of the Straw Hat Pirates?
The implications struck fear into the hearts of many Revolutionary Army
cadres.
This adversary... was truly formidable!
In the midst of this turmoil, the cadres couldn't help but glance toward
the nearby room, their eyes filled with anxiety and trepidation.
For that room was where Dragon resided.
At this point, they also knew that Luffy's father was their leader.
This revelation had shocked them all!
Had it not been for the live broadcast, they might never have realized
that their leader's son was none other than Luffy...
Meanwhile, Dragon sat in the room, peering out through a small window.
His countenance bore the weight of his concern for his son.
"Luffy..."

Chapter 42 : Zoro
["Is it us who are being tested!?"] Luffy exclaimed, bewildered.
["That's correct. The envoy of Enel will take your friends to the Living
Altar deep within the Sky Island, and you must rescue them!"]
["If you refuse, your friends will likely be sacrificed, but if you accept..."]
["You must traverse the forest guarded by the priests, enduring trial after
trial, with the odds of survival being almost... Zero!"]
[Through Uncle Kujima's narration, Luffy and his companions finally
comprehended everything.]
[It turns out that these trials involve facing the Four Priests!]
[The Four Priests serve the God of Sky Island and are Enel's attendants.
Each of them is immensely powerful, and the trials are even more
formidable, categorized as...]
[Trial of the Swamp with a 50% survival rate, Trial of the Ball with a
10% survival rate, Rope Trial with a 3% survival rate, and the Trial of
Iron with a 0% survival rate in the end!]
[Only by overcoming these four trials can you reach the final Living Altar
and reunite with your captive friends.]
[But whether you can save them... remains uncertain, simply because no
one has ever survived these four trials.]
[No one has made it safely to the Living Altar when their friends were
taken captive!]
[However, Luffy, Sanji, and even the timid Usopp, after hearing these
words, displayed no fear whatsoever.]
"I see, so we have to go through trials to find Zoro," Luffy remarked.
["As long as you can defeat these so-called priests, you'll be able to rescue
your friends!"]
[Seeing Luffy's smile and his relaxed demeanor, Uncle Kushima and his
daughter Conis couldn't help but be astonished.]
[For a moment, they wondered if they hadn't explained it clearly
enough.]
[This trial, with a zero percent chance of survival, an existence that no
one has ever survived, and yet you're laughing?]
[The two couldn't understand, let alone believe that Luffy could reach the
destination and rescue their friends.]
Wano Country... Onigashima!
In a dark and eerie chamber, a colossal figure sat upon a throne.
This figure possessed black hair, a shawl, long horns resembling dragon
horns, a dragon scale tattoo on the left arm, and an X-shaped scar on the
abdomen.
This wild and imposing figure was none other than one of the Four
Emperors, on par with Shanks and Whitebeard, and renowned as the
world's strongest creature...
Kaido!!!
"The God of the Sky Islands... Enel?"
"Gan Fall has been defeated..."
Kaido muttered to himself, a pensive expression on his face.
As a user of the Fish-Fish Fruit: Mythical Type, Model - Eastern Dragon,
he possessed the ability to soar through the skies.
For him, the Sky Island, an arduous destination for ordinary individuals,
was an easily accessible location.
Even during moments of boredom, he would occasionally ascend to the
Sky Island just to leap off and seek amusement through suicide.
If one were to ask who possessed the most knowledge of the Sky Island
on these seas, aside from Kaido, there would likely be no other.
Consequently, he was aware that Gan Fall served as the God of the Sky
Island.
However, he hadn't set foot on the island in several years, and
information from both locations hadn't intersected, leading to...
Kaido also learned from a live broadcast that a significant transformation
had occurred on the Sky Island!
The God of the Sky Island had changed!
Nevertheless...
"This newly appointed God appears to possess impressive strength, much
more intriguing than Gan Fall!"
"Perhaps, when I find myself with leisure time, I'll venture up there for a
little spar."
"I just wonder how many blows he can endure from me..."
Kaido muttered, a sinister smile curling at the corners of his lips.
[While the trials presented no immediate danger to Luffy and his friends
in their mission to rescue Nami and the others, a new predicament
emerged.]
[They hailed from the Blue Seas and were utterly unfamiliar with the
terrain, unaware of the trial's entrance, let alone how to traverse the Sea
of Clouds.]
[In this regard, Conis, Uncle Kujima's daughter, took it upon herself to
guide them.]
[As they journeyed, passing through the Sky Island town, the residents
gave them a wide berth, their faces etched with fear.]
[Luffy and his crew observed this, perplexed but unfazed.]
[Finally, under Conis's guidance, Luffy and his group arrived at the
location where the Sky Island ships were anchored.]
["These ships will carry you across the Sea of Clouds to the Trial Grounds'
entrance. Good luck..."]
Luffy and Sanji, along with Usopp, smiled, expressed their gratitude to
Conis, and prepared to board the ships.
However, before departing, Luffy paused, turning back to pose a
question.
"As we're about to part ways, could you explain why you're so frightened
and insisted on seeing us off?"
Upon hearing this, Conis was momentarily taken aback. Then, with a
smile, she replied, "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid..."
But before she could finish, Luffy interrupted with a serious expression,
"Yes, ever since we met you, you've been trembling. Your fear intensified
when we arrived here."
Upon hearing this, Conis was completely flabbergasted. Her attempt to
conceal her emotions crumbled entirely.
Meanwhile, in the Windmill Village...
At the pier where Luffy, Dadan, Makino, and other villagers had
gathered, a small raft was approaching from a distance.
Though most present were engrossed in the sky's live broadcast, a few
sharp-eyed individuals noticed the raft in the sea.
"Look, a ship is approaching us!"
All eyes turned toward the source...
On the small raft, a man with green hair and three swords strapped to his
waist stood erect.
Everyone present was struck with shock!
Even upon their first encounter, this figure was unmistakably familiar to
everyone in attendance.
Recognizing him at a glance!
Wasn't this the individual from the live broadcast, the one who had
willingly faced peril to save Luffy's life?
One of the Straw Hat Pirates' members...
Roronoa Zoro, Zoro!!!

Chapter 43 : Conis's Truth
It was Zoro who arrived at the windmill village!
Despite his complete lack of a sense of direction, he managed to ask for
help when he got lost in the naval base town, eventually finding his way
to the windmill village.
He arrived here by boat...
The relatively short distance between the two locations allowed for a
quick journey.
"Zoro!"
Luffy was ecstatic when he first laid eyes on Zoro!
He never expected his crewmate to proactively seek him out. Luffy had
been eagerly anticipating the day he could reunite with his crewmates
and set sail with his beloved friends. It was a pleasant surprise that Zoro
was the first to arrive.
At that moment, Luffy couldn't contain his joy.
Before Zoro's boat could dock, Luffy's rubbery arms stretched out for tens
of meters, grabbing the boat and pulling Zoro closer.
Zoro was momentarily startled!
He thought Luffy might be launching an attack!
Luckily, Zoro had seen the live broadcasts and knew that Luffy's behavior
was eccentric.
He was mentally prepared for the encounter. If it were someone he didn't
know, he might have drawn his sword...
...
[Although Luffy often acts carefree, he shares the same personality traits
as Garp, appearing indifferent to most things.]
[However, he is far from foolish; in fact, his instincts are often sharper
than others'.]
[From the very beginning, he noticed something was amiss with Conis...]
"I don't know why you're afraid, but you didn't need to guide us. We
could have found our way," he remarked.
Perhaps it was Luffy's kindness or maybe Conis's conscience got the best
of her, but she started to explain.
It turned out that Conis and her predecessor, Uncle from the Skypiea
Island, approached Luffy's crew with ulterior motives. They feigned
kindness and shared information about the island to fulfill a purpose.
All newcomers to Skypiea shared one common trait: curiosity and a
desire for adventure.
However, human greed sometimes led them to prioritize self-preservation
or personal gain even at the expense of others, including their comrades.
Even after triggering God's Trials, they would flee with their treasure,
abandoning their companions.
To ensure that those who awaited judgment would reach the priest's
location before their last drop of blood, Conis and her fellow guides were
tasked with leading them there safely.
Once there, the Trials would commence, and there would be no escape.
Conis and Uncle Kushima were bound by Enel, the god of Skypiea, to
carry out this task under the threat of death. That's why they did what
they did.
Hearing this, Luffy and his companions were shocked...
They had never expected that Conis and the previous Uncle, who had
shown them kindness, had such hidden motives!
Whitebeard Pirates!
"This god has a twisted sense of humor..."
"It seems that holding a high position can be incredibly boring. He
arranged for his own people to act as guides to subject newcomers to
judgment."
"It's infuriating!"
"Threatening his own people's lives – this god is despicable!"
"This person is no god but a tyrant..."
Many captains aboard the ship voiced their complaints.
Their expressions and looks were filled with disdain and anger.
In the Whitebeard Pirates, family was everything.
These captains had strong bonds with their crewmates.
Though they often bickered, they'd never encountered such a vile threat.
When it came to protecting their family, they would stand united without
hesitation.
Enel, despite being a god, resorted to such despicable actions, which had
earned him the crew's deep contempt.
As their captain, Whitebeard was especially furious.
If Enel were present, Whitebeard might not be able to resist taking out
his Murakumogiri and attacking him...
...
Conis wasn't inherently bad; guilt weighed heavily on her conscience. She
had acted out of desperation to save her own life.
"Escape while you can! Before you face judgment by the priest, even if it
means leaving your comrades behind, you might at least save your own
life!" she cried.
"But once you're there, there's no hope of survival. The priest is terrifying.
Run, run for your lives!" she pleaded.
Conis knelt on the ground, sobbing and begging Luffy and his friends to
leave quickly.
However, she didn't know Luffy...
He would never abandon his comrades and flee for his life alone.
Even Usopp, who was usually the most timid, shared this resolve...
Seeing Luffy's serious expression, he addressed Conis earnestly:
"So, you were forced into doing this?"
"To force you to do something against your will... Is that the way your
god operates?"
"In that case, I won't just defeat those four priests and rescue Nami and
the others, but I'll also defeat the so-called gods and save you!"
Boom...
When Luffy uttered those words, Conis, who had been kneeling on the
ground, sobbing, was struck dumb.
She stared blankly at the figure of Luffy before her, illuminated by the
sunlight filtering through his straw hat.
For some inexplicable reason, though he appeared so frail, at that
moment, he filled her with a sense of awe she had never experienced
before.
The man standing before her seemed to embody light...

Chapter 44 : Zoro's Regret
Windmill Village…
At this moment, on the pier, Zoro emerged from the sea with a stern
expression.
In his arms, he carried a Luffy who looked as lifeless as a limp noodle…
"You possess a Devil Fruit ability; don't you realize that you can't go into
the sea?" Zoro scolded, his frustration evident.
Zoro had finally reached Windmill Village, but before he even set foot on
the shore, Luffy had sent him plummeting into the ocean.
That impulsive guy, not only did he dive into the sea himself, but he also
gave Zoro an unsolicited bath.
Zoro looked at Luffy lying on the deck, appearing weakened.
"I know I can't venture into the sea, but I was so thrilled to see you that I
lost control of my strength..." Luffy confessed.
Zoro: "..."
At this moment, Zoro was rendered utterly speechless. Even those
standing behind him, including Makino and Dadan, were dumbstruck.
Zoro gazed at Luffy, who lay before him on the deck, grinning at him. His
heart sank like a stone. Would he genuinely be willing to sacrifice his life
for Luffy in the future?
Damn it... Could this live broadcast be trusted?
For a moment, Zoro began to question his life choices. Coming to
Windmill Village voluntarily, was it a terrible mistake?
...
[At that moment, lightning suddenly cracked across the sky!]
[BOOM!]
[The thunderbolt materialized rapidly, and if such a destructive force
struck, everything might have turned to dust. Everyone's faces paled...]
[Fortunately, an elderly man riding an unattractive Pegasus arrived just
in time to rescue Luffy and Zoro.]
[This man was the Sky Knight they had encountered while still in the
White Sea.]
[As everyone gazed at the massive, gaping crater on the ground, their
expressions turned grave.]
[Sky Knight spoke, "You've witnessed the power of Enel. He's been
monitoring you, and it's too late to escape now. Don't make senseless
sacrifices."]
[However, in response to the old man's warning, Luffy fearlessly
declared, "I'm here to rescue my friend. If anyone tries to stop me, I'll
knock them out, and Enel is no exception!"]
[Afterward, Luffy and his two companions boarded the Sky Knight's
cloud ship and continued their journey...]
[Soon, the trio arrived at the location of the priest's trial... Skypiea!]
[From the outside, it appeared to be an ordinary forest with countless
lush trees. However, once they entered, a terrifying sight greeted them...]
[They saw numerous boats sliced in half along both sides of a river, a
truly staggering sight!]
[Just as Luffy and his companions wondered why so many ships had been
cut in two...]
[Gigantic scythes suddenly sprang up from all directions!]
[This immense force, if it collided with a ship, would undoubtedly cleave
it and its passengers in two!]
[They narrowly dodged the scythes and soon faced a barrage of arrows!]
[Following that, they encountered one deadly and bizarre trap after
another...]
[Luffy and his two companions finally escaped these perils and reached
the end of an area.]
[They saw four exits marked as Swamp, Iron, Ball, and Rope Trials...]
[At this moment, Luffy and his friends finally realized that the trial had
begun.]
Marine Headquarters!
Doflamingo gazed at the sky with his trademark wicked smile.
"How powerful are these four priests who are revered as gods on the
Skypiea?"
"Before encountering Enel, this so-called priest trial could pose a
significant threat to the Straw Hat kid!"
As he spoke, no one in the room paid him any attention.
Even Crocodile, who usually enjoyed bantering with Doflamingo, had
fallen silent.
Akainu, infuriated by Garp's earlier outburst and his desire to undertake a
mission to Skypiea to take down Enel, was now too focused on the
situation to care about Doflamingo's comments.
Akainu, well aware of Garp's short temper, wisely remained quiet.
He didn't want to incur Garp's wrath while the situation remained so
uncertain.
Although he secretly hoped that the Straw Hat kid would receive a severe
beating from the so-called Skypiea god, he had another hope: that they
would eliminate the troublesome threat.
On the other side, tSengoku and Garp stood at the forefront, their
expressions a mix of seriousness and anxiety.
Garp, in particular, was on edge. Though he hadn't said a word, his
unwavering gaze betrayed his concern and urgency.
An enemy like Enel exuded a suffocating aura of danger even before
appearing.
He didn't expect Luffy to win this battle; he only hoped that his grandson
would grow stronger and go safely to Sabaody Archipelago.
If anything happened to his grandson during this battle...
Garp wouldn't hesitate to go to Skypiea himself, even if it meant
sacrificing his position as a vice admiral. He was determined to eradicate
the threat posed by Enel.
"Luffy, which path should we choose?" Sanji and Usopp inquired.
Luffy pondered for a moment and finally pointed to the Ball Trial in the
distance.
Sanji and Usopp exchanged bewildered glances. "Oh! Did Luffy choose
this trial because he thinks it'll be easier?"
Luffy shook his head. "No, it's just that the name of this trial sounds
funny!"
Sanji and Usopp exchanged another glance and sighed in exasperation.

Chapter 45 : Ordeal of Balls
[Sanji and Usopp, though hesitant, realized there was no better choice at
this moment.]
"In that case, we'll trust Luffy's instincts!"
[With these words, Usopp closed his eyes, summoned his courage, and
steered the ship towards the entrance of the Ordeal of the Balls...]
[Soon, after traversing a long, dim tunnel, the group arrived at a colossal
waterfall.]
[In the air, countless small white orbs drifted mysteriously.]
[Luffy, always curious, couldn't resist reaching out to touch one, but...]
[A venomous serpent emerged from it!]
[Luffy, startled, instinctively punched it away.]
[Simultaneously, a small orb floated in front of Yamaji, who impatiently
thought it might also contain a serpent and promptly kicked it away...]
BOOM!!!
[The resounding explosion sent Sanji and Usopp, who were standing
nearby, flying.]
[At that moment, the three finally grasped the nature of the Ordeal of the
Balls.]
[It turned out that the numerous white orbs floating here concealed
various dangers, making it as thrilling as opening a blind box.]
[Suddenly, a peculiar individual, resembling a spherical shape, appeared
before the trio.]
[Luffy recognized him instantly; it was one of the three priests who had
pursued the Skypiea residents before.]
[Realizing he was an adversary, Luffy wasted no time and unleashed a
Gum-Gum Pistol!]
[However, the priest appeared to anticipate the attack, effortlessly
evading it while keeping his back to them. He then swiftly approached
Luffy, raising his palm...]
BOOM!!!
[A potent air cannon sent Luffy hurtling away...]
The Red-Haired Pirates!
"Is this..."
Beckman and the others stood up instantly.
As seasoned individuals, they could discern at a glance that this spherical
deity...
Mastered Haki!
"Observation and Armament Haki..."
"Is this one of Enel's four priests?"
The expressions on several faces soured.
They were aware that Luffy and his crew were yet to master Haki in any
form. For foes who could employ Haki—whether through Observation or
Armament—it posed a severe threat.
Initially, Enel, who had not yet made an appearance, had already cast a
shadow over the battle, seemingly insurmountable.
Now, even his subordinates were demonstrating Haki...
Could Luffy and his crew genuinely triumph?
What perplexed everyone even more was...
"Countless small white orbs suspended in the air?"
"Air cannons expelled from one's palm, potent enough to shock a flyer?"
"These abilities... could this priest be a Devil Fruit user as well?"
At this moment, doubt clouded everyone's minds.
Even Shanks couldn't be certain...
As they had heard about Skypiea but had never ventured there, they
remained unfamiliar with the creatures and weaponry in that realm.
If this Haki-wielding God also possessed a Devil Fruit power...
The battle would become significantly more perilous!
Just as the Red-Haired Pirates and others grappled with confusion, and
nearly all factions watching the live broadcast were similarly
bewildered...
The ongoing footage provided clarification!
[Luffy soared backward, grimacing in pain...]
[Usopp was astounded; Luffy possessed the Rubber Fruit, which granted
him substantial immunity to physical assaults. How could these ordinary
strikes inflict such agony?]
[The spherical priest grinned, "It's not a punch; it's a shock!"]
["A shock?" Luffy and his two companions looked baffled, but they didn't
hesitate and attacked him again.]
[Yet, a dire scenario unfolded...]
[The priest seemingly foresaw their movements, deftly evading their
attacks every time, preempting their strikes!]
[Even when Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp attacked in unison, they could only
be passive targets, incapable of counterattacking!]
[Moreover, the priest sent their boats, which had rested on the clouds'
river, drifting away...]
[With no boats, they were stranded, unable to move. Luffy instructed
Usopp and Sanji to retrieve the boats while he remained to confront the
priest.]
[However... the outcome remained the same.]
[With a triumphant expression, the priest employed an ability called
(Mantra) "Heart Net," predicting each of their impending moves!]
[The shockwaves unleashed from his palm, known as "Shock Shells," were
exclusive weapons of Skypiea!]
[Although these explanations left Luffy and his comrades bewildered,
they were unaware...]
[That the priest's gloating would soon be his downfall!]
[Meanwhile...]
[Nami, Chopper, Robin, and Zoro, accompanied by Merry, found
themselves at the Altar of Judgment.]
[Although they were wholly unfamiliar with their surroundings, they had
no intention of remaining idle.]
[They entrusted Merry to guard the ship and, joined by Nami, they
cautiously navigated the shark-infested waters around the altar, setting
off into the forest to search for clues.]
[However, danger lurked once more...]
[A man mounted on a bizarre, giant bird swiftly approached!]
[He was none other than one of Enel's four priests, with a mere three
percent chance of survival...]
[The Rope Trial Priest!]

Chapter 46 : Chopper's Peril
"Another priest has appeared!"
"And the pirate ship... Just me!?"
Magnetic Drum Island...
Chopper looked at the picture in the sky with a confused expression.
Luffy is also facing the trial of the ball, and the chance of survival has
reached 50%, for three people!
He never imagined that he would actually face a priest alone!
Or a priest with only a three-percent chance of survival!
Boy... Do you have the ability to do this?
Chopper was about to cry in fear...
Take a thousand Berries yourself, and do tens of millions of Work!
What is going on...
[Faced with the sudden arrival and the Rope Trial Priest who constantly
destroys the Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates are bewildered.]
[When he learned that the reason why the priest came here was because
the people of the living altar fled privately, Chopper was even more
stunned...]
[Damn it, Zoro, Robin and Nami!]
[If they had known that leaving the altar would attract priests, they
wouldn't have stayed here for anything!]
[But now there's no way, they can only constantly extinguish the flames
and avoid the attacks of the priest.]
[At the same time, they prayed that the whistle they had just blown was
useful. After all, it was given to them by the white-bearded knight when
they were in the White Sea, saying that it could help them once if they
blew it.]
[I don't know if it's useful, but this is the only way now...]
Meanwhile, in the Windmill Village...
"Huh!?"
Looking at the picture, Zoro showed an embarrassed look on his face.
He never expected that Chopper would encounter a priest, and the trigger
was actually himself?
If he hadn't taken Robin and Nami to explore the surroundings, they
wouldn't be in danger...
Now he has long known that although Chopper has a certain combat
effectiveness among all his crewmates, his primary role is still a doctor,
and he is not very strong.
If he was allowed to face a priest alone, the consequences would be
predictable!
At this moment, Luffy suddenly spoke, "Zoro, let's go to sea!"
When Zoro heard this, he was stunned, "Go to sea?"
Luffy said with a serious face, "That's right, originally I planned to go to
sea, but you found me first, and now I've determined the location of my
crewmates, and I need to find them one by one!"
"Nami is in Orange Town, Usopp is in Syrup Village, Robin is in Alabasta,
Chopper is on Drum Island..."
"We need to rush as soon as possible because they need us!"
As Luffy's words fell, Zoro was stunned and then quickly reacted!
After watching the live broadcast from beginning to end, he naturally
knew...
Before the list officially began, some live broadcast footage was played.
And those are some of the enemies Luffy encountered at the beginning!
Most of these enemies come from the search for a crewmate!
For example, the one who controls Nami... Arlong!
"Now among all the crewmates, it is estimated that Nami is in the worst
situation. It just so happens that Orange Town is not far from us, so let's
go there first!"
When Zoro heard this, he did not hesitate at all and directly nodded in
agreement.
Although now, except for Luffy, none of his crewmates have been found
yet.
But for some reason, his heart is very familiar with the names,
appearances, and even personalities of each of them...
Maybe it's watching the live stream, or maybe... It's the invisible bond of
crewmates!
Although the villagers of Windmill Village such as Makino and Dadan are
very reluctant to see Luffy go.
But after watching the inventory, they also knew that Luffy's crewmates
were still waiting for him.
And the wonders of the outside world are also waiting for Luffy...
So even though they don't want to say goodbye, they can only wave their
hands and give their blessings!
"Luffy, don't forget us when you're out there, remember to come back and
visit when you have time!"
"Take care of yourself out there and watch out for your own safety!"
"We'll be watching you from here and hope to see you shake the world
one day..."
Looking at one familiar face after another, Luffy waved a tearful goodbye
to everyone.
Luffy also smiled and waved his hand, then firmly stepped onto the boat
and sailed into the sea with Zoro!
At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates were officially formed!
And Luffy's journey at sea began in earnest!
The first stop, searching for Nami, the destination... Orange Town!!
[Chopper is still desperately dodging the attacks of the priest, but his
strength is no match for the priest after all.]
[So soon, his life hangs in the balance, and danger is imminent...]
[At this moment, a person fell from the sky—it was the white-bearded
knight who heard the whistle!]
[Facing the arrival of the white-bearded knight, Chopper was about to
cry with excitement...]
[The priest, on the other hand, showed a mocking smile. "Gan Fall...
What a rarity!"]
[That's right, he is the former god of Skypiea, the old god who was
ousted by Enel!]
[When foes meet, sparks fly. Gan Fall rode his flying dials toward the sky,
and the priest wasted no time, jumping onto his bizarre bird to give
chase!]
"Trials of the String!"
[At this moment, the priest officially demonstrated his power, engaging
in a fierce battle with the former god of Skypiea!]
[However, despite Gan Fall gaining the upper hand in the early stages of
the battle, age eventually caught up with him...]
[He was pierced in the chest by a shot from the priest, falling from the
sky toward the Sea of Clouds filled with sharks, along with his flying
dials...]
[At this critical moment, Chopper also panicked. If Gan Fall fell, he
would surely be devoured by the sharks!]
[Ignoring his own peril, Chopper jumped directly into the Sea of Clouds.
Yet, he forgot that even the Sea of Clouds can act like the sea, robbing
those with Devil Fruit powers of their abilities!]
[Chopper instantly felt powerless, and at that moment, he understood...]
[Damn it, I messed up...]

Chapter 47 : Arlong?
Marines Headquarters!
"Priest of God, it doesn't seem that way now..."
"This old God, who was weak and pitiable, has taken him down with a
single blow!"
Akainu, also known as Sakazuki, gazed at the image with a touch of
disdain on his face.
For a good reason, too—this God, who was previously perceived as weak
and pitiable, had defeated the priest Shura with a single strike.
There was no doubt about it. It was his strength that made this priest
seem so pitifully weak!
If he were to venture alone to that Sky island, even if both of these
priests joined forces, it would only take him one hand to deal with their
existence.
In response to Akainu's words, the Aokiji, also known as Kuzan, spoke
grimly:
"We shouldn't underestimate them. While they may seem insignificant to
us, these priests pose a serious challenge to newcomers like Luffy and the
others."
"Furthermore... the God of the Sky island has yet to make his true
appearance."
Hearing this, Akainu remained silent, and the disdain on his face
remained unwavering.
At best, these priests were skilled at Haki, such as the Observation's Haki,
also known as Mantra in their Sky island...
Other than that, they were hardly worth mentioning.
The Straw Hats and their crew struggled against such foes, and the God
of the Skypiea has yet to make an appearance and he has one of the most
formidable Logia Devil Fruit, Goro Goro no Mi .
It was clear that they were destined to lose this battle.
Indeed, the Straw Hat group had reached their limit.
Their growth was hardly worth paying attention to, and they remained
pitifully weak.
[Meanwhile, on Luffy's side, after an extended period of exploration...]
[They had finally discovered a way to deal with the priets!]
[Though the priests possessed a peculiar impact ability and could predict
everyone's actions...]
[Luffy, with his incredible speed, found an opportunity to immobilize one
of them!]
[Even if he could predict their movements, he couldn't evade attacks!]
[Once they were restrained, they could be attacked!]
[As Sanji leaped into the air and unleashed a powerful kick, the God
known as the Ball Trial Priest let out a satisfying belch!]
[Luffy and the others didn't have time to celebrate; they promptly
boarded the ship and continued their journey deeper into the Sky
island...]
[Meanwhile, on the other side, the Shandias were gearing up!]
[The Shandias were the native inhabitants of the island of Jaya in the
Blue Sea, four hundred years ago...]
[They were carried up into the sky by a sea current and settled in the Sky
island...]
[Throughout their long history, they had always been at odds with the
inhabitants of the Sky island, but now, their main enemy was Enel!]
[With Luffy and the others causing a commotion on the Sky island and
defeating one of the priests, the Shandias saw an opportunity...]
[Perhaps, this was their only chance to take down Enel...]
Sky Island!
Enel sat in his chair, wearing a puzzled expression, his lips twitching.
He never imagined that the Straw Hat crew would wreak such havoc on
the Sky island.
Even the Shandia tribe wanted to get involved?
What's more, they had defeated one of his own priests?
The Ball Trial Priest was the first to fall?
Impossible!
He possessed the Mantra, how could this be?
Enel and other priests were puzzled and were in disbelief watching this
on live screen.
However, the evidence before them was undeniable, and he couldn't help
but believe it.
Now, Satori's only concern was that Enel would punish him.
But what he feared came to pass...
Enel's face darkened, and he berated him, "Useless!"
In an instant, lightning gathered and struck him directly!
His body, resembling a ball, was charred black in no time.
Thin wisps of smoke rose, carrying the faint scent of barbecued meat...
...
Meanwhile, Luffy and Zoro steered their battered ship.
They had finally reached their destination—Orange Town!
Having seen the live broadcast, they were familiar with Nami's location
and walked straight into Orange Town.
It was as if fate had played a hand...
As they entered Orange Town, Luffy and Zoro bumped into Arlong and
his group, who had just returned from outside.
Behind Arlong, members of the Evil Dragon Pirates, including Hatchan,
Chew, and Kuroobi, followed closely.
More surprisingly, Nami emerged from a courtyard with freshly drawn
nautical charts in her hands.
The three parties stood there, stunned, gazing at each other with wide
and narrow eyes.
"Luffy, Zoro?"
"Nami!?"
Luffy and Nami spoke almost simultaneously.
Nami's face lit up with excitement.
She had dreamt earlier in the day that her partners would come to rescue
her, but she had thought it an impossible dream.
Yet here it was, only in the afternoon, and her dream had come true!
However, her excitement gradually waned, and her smile froze as she
remembered Arlong's ruthlessness.
She knew better than anyone the terror he represented. While not on the
level of Seven Warlords of the Sea like Moria, he still boasted a bounty of
20 million Berries.
Today, Luffy and Zoro were merely rookie pirates, far from the
formidable force they had been on the live broadcast. Could they truly
rescue her?
Or were they stepping into a trap?
On the other hand, Arlong wore a sinister smile.
"I was concerned before about what I'd do if you grew strong enough to
defeat Moria," he taunted. "But I never expected you to be so foolish as to
venture into my territory. Do you truly believe you can match up to me
now?"
His cadre members began to draw their weapons.
Luffy stood firm. "Have you forgotten... I've also gotten the reward from
the screen?"
Huh!?
Arlong and his comrades were taken aback.
Before they could react...
"Second Gear!!!"

Chapter 48 : Arlong Defeated?
"Gear Second!"
In an instant, Luffy burst out from a shroud of white mist, his body
quickly turning red.
The entire momentum of his being underwent a drastic transformation.
Witnessing this scene, Arlong and the others were left awestruck.
To be honest, they had momentarily forgotten that Luffy possessed the
reward from the live screen as well.
But ignorance breeds audacity!
In Arlong and his comrades' minds, Luffy's victory against Moria relied on
his ability to absorb countless shadows and enlarge his body parts and
enhance his strength.
As for the red, fog-emanating Gear Second before them, they had little
knowledge of its true strength, thinking it was just another ordinary
technique.
"Charge! Take them down!" Arlong commanded, brandishing his shark-
toothed knife and leading the charge.
His companions followed suit, launching an assault on Luffy and Zoro.
"Hmph."
A faint smile curled on the corner of Luffy's lips.
Ever since he acquired the power of Gear Second, he sensed a significant
boost in his strength.
Yet, there hadn't been a chance to truly test its might in battle—until
now.
"Zoro, keep an eye out but don't intervene!" Luffy instructed.
Zoro nodded in agreement. "Certainly."
"Nami, from this day forward, you are free, and Orange Town will be rid
of the Arlong Pirates once and for all!"
"Pay close attention!"
With these words, Luffy shot forward in a blur.
Nami felt a surreal sensation as she watched Luffy and Zoro before her. A
rush of emotions she had bottled up for years threatened to burst forth,
held back only by her sheer willpower.
The wait had been long, but finally, her patience paid off.
Luffy, in Gear Second, moved at an astonishing speed, almost teleporting
in the eyes of onlookers.
In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance between him and Arlong's
crew.
"Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling!"
Luffy's fists hammered away relentlessly, the punches so rapid that they
created a barrage of afterimages.
This incredible force and terrifying velocity pummeled Arlong's group
like a furious tempest.
Boom!
They were sent flying, bloodied and unconscious, crashing through
houses and walls.
As the dust settled, Arlong and his men lay motionless, eyes rolled back—
clearly defeated.
Nami gazed at this spectacle in disbelief. Just how strong was her
Captain?
Luffy, having settled the confrontation, approached Nami and extended a
hand to her, kneeling on the ground.
"Though we're crewmates by the broadcast's standards, I want to ask
formally: Nami, will you join us and become my crewmate?"
In the sunlight, a young man in a straw hat offered his hand.
Zoro, who stood behind him with a trio of swords at his side, wore a
warm smile.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Nami's eyes welled up with tears as she
nodded enthusiastically.
Though no words were spoken, her actions spoke volumes.
...
[With the defeat of the Trial of the Ball's priest, Enel showed a glimmer
of interest.]
[Surveying the empty island, he understood that the Blue Sea people who
had arrived this time were unlike any before.]
[Whether he had confidence in his own strength or simply wanted to
alleviate his boredom, only he knew.]
[Enel refrained from immediately summoning thunderbolts to obliterate
Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the Shandians.]
[Instead, he released the remaining three priests to act without restraint,
tasked with eliminating all who defied the gods.]
[The three priests bowed to Enel before departing.]
[Cutting to another scene, the three priests returned to the forest.]
[Meanwhile, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp arrived at the Sacrificial Altar.]
[There, they encountered the battered Merry and the bandaged
Chopper.]
[During this time, Robin had deduced that their current location was real
earth, most likely ejected by the power of the Knock Up Stream.]
[This place held not only secrets of lost history but also a vast treasure
buried beneath the surface.]
[As Luffy and his crew continued on their journey, they crossed paths
with the Shandians, initially mistaking each other for enemies.]
[Fortunately, they soon realized their mistake and parted ways.]
[With the Shandians heading toward the forest and Luffy's group resting
for the night, their paths diverged for now.]

Chapter 49 : Enel's Apperance
"Shandian?"
Sengoku glanced at the figures depicted in the image, appearing distinct
from the inhabitants of Skypiea, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Kizaru chimed in, "Marshal of the Marines, you need not wonder. It's
likely, as you suspect, that they are an independent tribal group."
Aokiji nodded in agreement, "Indeed, there are countless sea-dwelling
races, and it's probable that these Shandians are among them."
"Opposing the residents of Skypiea and attempting to overthrow the rule
of God Enel?"
Sengoku couldn't help but smile.
So, Skypiea wasn't entirely under Enel's control. At least, there were
warriors like the Shandians.
Although their behavior toward Luffy and his crew didn't seem very
friendly, one thing was certain: their greatest animosity was directed
towards Enel.
This meant that Luffy and his crew weren't alone in their quest against
Enel.
They had the Shandians as allies!
It remained uncertain whether the Shandians' involvement would alter
the course of the battle, but one thing was clear: having comrades
standing alongside them was preferable to facing Enel alone.
Garp felt the same way, although he maintained his usual stoic
expression. The slight relaxation of his fists indicated that the anxiety and
tension in his heart had lessened, if only a bit.
"This time, with God Enel's command, the Three Priests have not only
been free to move but have also deployed countless Divine Weapons."
"The Shandians have encountered and defeated many Divine Soldiers
along their journey, even though they've suffered numerous casualties."
"However, their bravery in the face of the enemy they've longed to defeat
has only grown. They haven't retreated."
"The Shandian leader, the War Chief Wyper, even engaged in a fierce
battle with the Ordeal of Iron Priest."
"Despite the priest's formidable abilities, the Shandians, including Wyper
himself, initially struggled to hold their ground."
"But Wyper, at the brink of death, closed in on the priest and unleashed a
powerful cannon blast to his face."
"Boom!"
"In an instant, the Ordeal of Iron Priest fell into a coma!"
Witnessing this scene, Garp, Sengoku, and the others couldn't help but
feel relieved.
These people were indeed commendable; they fought valiantly and even
managed to defeat a priest. Impressive!
This would certainly relieve some of the pressure on Luffy and his crew
during the upcoming battles.
However, what they didn't know was that the Shandians initially didn't
cooperate with Luffy and his crew but instead posed a significant
challenge to them.
"As the Shandians battled the Divine Soldiers in the forest, Luffy and his
crew took action naturally."
"They discussed and planned to find an escape route and clues, but soon
they encountered countless Divine Weapons."
"While these Divine Soldiers put up a fierce fight against the Shandians,
they proved inadequate against passersby."
"Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and others dispatched them effortlessly."
"Then they continued their journey."
"Soon, Luffy encountered a familiar face: War Chief Wyper, who had
recently defeated an ordeal priest."
"Facing Luffy, Wyper displayed strong hostility and fired a cannon at
him."
"This angered the usually good-natured Luffy. How could he tolerate an
unprovoked attack?"
"As a result, the two engaged in combat."
"Meanwhile, Zoro, who had been exploring the forest alone, also
encountered the Shandians and ended up in a skirmish."
Seeing this turn of events, Garp and Sengoku, who had earlier praised the
Shandians, were left dumbfounded.
Had they been wrong in their assessment? Weren't the Shandians
supposed to be united against Enel, their common enemy?
Even Akainu, Kizaru, and the others found it hard to fathom the
Shandians' thought process.
After all, their primary adversary was Enel. Why were they fighting
against Luffy and his crew, who were on the same side in the battle
against Enel?
This seemed like a perplexing strategy, antagonizing everyone except
their own allies.
Not only did they confront Enel, but they also clashed with the
Skypieans, and now, it appeared, with Luffy and his crew too.
This decision only complicated an already daunting battle with slim odds
of success.
"Meanwhile, as Usopp, Nami, and Chopper piloted the Going Merry..."
"An uninvited guest silently made his way onto the pirate ship."
"That guest was none other than Enel himself."
"The moment he appeared, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and a
menacing aura enveloped the surroundings."
"The sudden shock left everyone's faces drained of color."
"Even though they were meeting him for the first time, the palpable
danger and oppressive aura left no room for doubt."
"The man before them, with his lazy demeanor and the Thunder Drum on
his back, was none other than the legendary..."
"God of Skypiea!"

Chapter 50 : Enel's Strength?
[At this moment, aboard the Merry, only four individuals remained:
Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and the injured Gan Fall.]
[The four of them gazed at Enel, who appeared nonchalant before them,
their eyes filled with disdain, and beads of cold sweat forming
unconsciously.]
[The man standing before them exuded a presence that instilled sheer
despair!]
[Sanji gritted his teeth, "You all, make your escape. I'll hold him off!"]
[With that, Sanji swiftly advanced, launching a fierce kick...]
["Ants!"]
[Enel spoke icily, merely tapping his fingertips, enveloping Sanji in a
sudden surge of electricity...]
[A moment later, Sanji lay scorched black on the ground.]
[Even Usopp, who had been preparing to approach from the side with his
slingshot, was similarly affected, collapsing to the ground...]
[Nami, now petrified with fear, also crumpled to the floor.]
[Gan Fall, however, stood resolutely, his expression a mixture of
solemnity and terror.]
[The man before him possessed the same staggering power he
remembered from six years ago—a power capable of inducing sheer
despair.]
[Enel, having effortlessly incapacitated Sanji and Usopp with a mere
gesture, regarded Gan Fall with a mocking smile.]
"It's been six years since we last met, and this island is coveted by many
—Sky Islanders, Shandians, and even... the inhabitants of Blue Sea!"
"All for this speck of land and that pile of gold, I presume?"
"But alas, all of it... belongs to me!"
"Now that so many have gathered here, it's added a bit of amusement to
my otherwise mundane existence. I hope you all manage to entertain me
a while longer..."
[After Enel finished speaking, he wore a contemptuous grin and vanished
into thin air, transforming into lightning.]
[Only Nami, still trembling with fear, Gan Fall, whose heart raced, and
the unconscious Usopp and Sanji remained...]
[Simultaneously, Enel employed his Devil Fruit ability, transforming into
lightning and darting across the island at breakneck speed.]
[Whenever he encountered Shandians, he showed no mercy, summoning
countless thunderbolts...]
[The Shandians couldn't even mount a defense and were instantly
reduced to charred remains...]
[Even those who attempted to flee found themselves paralyzed by Enel's
electric onslaught.]
"The entire island falls within my strike zone. Where do you think you
can escape to?"
"Million Volts Thunder Cannon!"
[In an instant, a terrifying lightning bolt struck the ground...]
[Its impact was so immense it felt like the wrath of a thunderous cannon
destined to obliterate the world...]
[The fearsome bolt, striking with pinpoint accuracy even from hundreds
of meters away, disintegrated anything it touched into ashes...]
[The remnants left behind by the lightning were shocking in their
destruction...]
[Though countless were killed or injured beneath his thunderous assault,
Enel reveled in the chaos, casually traversing the island.]
[His distinctive laughter echoed throughout the island, laden with scorn
and mockery...]
Whitebeard Pirates!
"So formidable!"
Ace's countenance shifted, a hint of envy flickering in his eyes.
Despite having watched the live broadcast for some time, he was still
astonished by Enel's might.
Sanji and Usopp may not be extraordinarily powerful, but they were by
no means weak.
Yet, before this god of the Sky Island, they fell with a mere wave of his
hand, unable to withstand a second blow.
This strength was nothing short of despair-inducing!
What's more, the true extent of his power remained shrouded in mystery.
This was merely a lightning bolt thrown offhandedly; if he unleashed his
full might...
The devastation would be unimaginable!
Against such an opponent, even if he were to face him, Ace couldn't
guarantee a 100% chance of victory!
In the current scenario, was there any hope of Luffy's triumph?
Or was there even a chance of survival?
"Ace..."
Marco approached, placing a comforting hand on Ace's shoulder.
He knew Ace must be deeply concerned for his brother but understood
that all they could do now was console him...
Red-Haired Pirates!
"Does this god of the Sky Island still consider this a game?"
"His current mindset stems from his strength, and he fully trusts in his
abilities!"
"The Thunder Fruit... its reputation is well-deserved, a truly fearsome and
convenient power!"
"Luffy and his crew's prospects of defeating him... I can't fathom it..."
"Luffy, I can't even begin to imagine how we can defeat them..."
"People like him, if he were to set foot in the Grand Line, I believe he'd
have the power to challenge the Four Emperors!"
Many were engaged in discussions.
The display of Enel's initial attack had left everyone utterly stunned.
At the very least...
Almost everyone present, save for a few high-ranking figures like
Beckman, believed that they were incapable of overcoming this
monstrosity.
Even Red-Haired Shanks couldn't muster a smile; his expression was one
of solemn gravity.
"I greatly underestimated Enel's strength before; he's clearly surpassed the
Shichibukai level."
"The aura and might he's demonstrating now... He may indeed have the
potential to rival the Four Emperors!"
"If he were a pirate, the Navy would be hunting him down!"
"With this level of power and his eerie Haki, one Admiral wouldn't be
enough, we'd need at least two..."
Earning such high praise as one of the Four Emperors, Shanks himself.
It's easy to fathom just how fearsome Enel's power truly is!
In this moment, everyone grew even more resolute in their conviction
that they faced a formidable adversary.
Could the Straw Hat Pirates ever hope to prevail?
