Inside the divine shrine, Enel sat on God's throne, one foot even stepping on top of it, biting into apples in big mouthfuls, full of a relaxed feeling.
"Hm? Strange, these people actually survived?"
After descending God's punishment, his Mantra still sensed activity, the number of them the same as before.
"This time, some troublesome guys have come. The plan is already set, I don't want them to interfere with me."
Enel showed a terrifying smile, and waved his hand at the angel maidservants attending to him.
"Go, call them in!"
Not long after, four strangely dressed people walked in from outside the shrine. They were the four high priests under Enel.
"Someone has intruded into God's Island, you go and give them a proper welcome."
———
Gan Fall blinked, somewhat unable to believe it, that he actually survived God's punishment.
"How could this be!" Nami cried with tears streaming down her face, wailing at that hollow, pitch-black mass of clouds above, "My money was all on the ship!!!"
Shinobu pressed her lips together, her gentle face now carrying a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
"My research notes…"
Nezuko looked somewhat spiritless, "The clothes that Jotaro-san gave me…"
Feeling the frightening aura coming off the few of them, Vivi and Mr. 9 both shrank their necks, their whole bodies shivering cold.
Gan Fall untimely said, "Being alive is already a miracle."
"This is God's punishment, I already told you not to approach this island."
"God is all-knowing and all-powerful, he can sense our existence."
The three women turned their heads in unison, like three demons glaring at him.
"Hey! Old fossil, quickly tell us, where is God! We're going to kill him!"
"You still won't give up? You cannot be God's opponents."
Gan Fall was startled by the aura of the three, then sighed once, and slowly spoke of Enel's terror.
What surprised him was that not one of their faces showed even the slightest fear, they were even more composed than before.
Jotaro said in a deep voice, "So it seems, the Enel you speak of must be a Devil Fruit user."
"To be able to command lightning, it must be a Logia type."
After experiencing so much, they were already no longer unfamiliar with Devil Fruits.
And information about Devil Fruits could be easily obtained in this world.
Nezuko nodded, "Jotaro-san seemed to have said before, among Devil Fruits, Logia users are the hardest to deal with for ordinary people."
"Because their bodies can turn into elements, making physical attacks ineffective."
"But as long as one masters Armament Haki, it's easy to hit them."
She thought, 'Luckily my Armament Haki is quite strong, with this I can fiercely beat that so-called god.'
Shinobu smiled and said, "As for God's so-called all-knowing and all-powerful, it's probably because he can use Observation Haki."
"When Observation Haki is trained to a certain level, you can sense an enemy's presence even from far away."
After saying this, Shinobu closed her eyes, carefully sensing her surroundings. The range she could read grew from a few hundred meters, quickly expanding to kilometers, and finally reaching ten thousand meters.
Taking a deep breath, Shinobu faintly opened her eyes, and sighed.
"My Observation Haki is still too weak, I didn't find him. He must be hiding even farther away."
"Enel's mastery of Observation is that high?" Nezuko asked in surprise, "Even stronger than sister Shinobu?"
Shinobu's talent in Observation Haki was much higher than in Armament. At present, she had already mastered all the basic abilities of Observation.
And the distance Observation Haki could sense was also increasing day by day.
Jotaro rationally analyzed, "Enel's Observation Haki covering the whole Sky Island doesn't necessarily mean his Observation is strong."
"It could very well be that his Devil Fruit helps him expand his sensing range."
Gan Fall was dumbfounded listening to this.
Even God's underwear was seen through?
He couldn't see even the slightest fear of God on these people's faces.
The ship being destroyed by the so-called God made Jotaro very unhappy too.
However, the purpose of this journey was the Poneglyph, so he forcefully suppressed his anger, didn't linger outside God's Island, and directly ignored God's warning, swaggering openly into the island's interior.
Gan Fall hesitated for a while, then hardened his scalp and followed in.
"You all want to find Shandora, right?" He deliberately came to Jotaro's side and asked.
Jotaro frowned.
"Could it be you know where Shandora is?"
God's Island was still vast in area. To find a lost ancient city here was not easy at all.
If someone knew Shandora's location, it would save him a lot of time.
And from the look of it, Gan Fall clearly knew something.
"Mm. Come with me then."
Gan Fall's expression carried some sorrow.
After all, before Enel, he was the god here, so naturally he knew the layout of most of the place like the back of his hand.
Jotaro silently looked at him, asked nothing more, and simply followed behind.
"Wait, someone is coming." Shinobu suddenly furrowed her brows and said, "There are four of them!"
"Four?" Gan Fall's beard twitched. "Could it be the High Priests?"
Jotaro asked, "High Priests? That is…"
"Enel's subordinates, four whose strength is second only to his." Gan Fall said nervously, "Normally, each of them is in charge of one trial ground alone, but this time they've all come out together?"
As he spoke, four figures had already surrounded Jotaro's group.
Priest Gedatsu of the Swamp Trial, "Trespassing on God's Island without permission, do you know, this is a first-class crime! Do you still have God in your eyes!"
Priest Shura of the String Trial, "I originally wanted to wait until you chose a trial to judge you, but God has ordered us to defeat you in the shortest time."
Priest Satori of the Ball Trial, "Tremble, mortals! Next you will face the wrath of the priests!"
Priest Ohm of the Iron Trial, "You shall rest in peace before the trial grounds."
The moment the four revealed themselves, Gan Fall's whole body began trembling violently.
"It's over!"
These priests, normally he couldn't handle even one. And now four came at once, this was a dead end for him.
"Don't mind them, we move forward." Jotaro calmly passed by his side, unhurried, his voice flat and without a ripple.
Other than Gan Fall standing stunned in place, Nezuko and the others obediently followed behind Jotaro.
"To actually ignore the priests, I hereby elevate your crime to first degree!"
Just as Gedatsu's words fell, his companion beside him was instantly torn open, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
"Calling yourself God, don't really think you are one, idiot." Jotaro raised his eyes toward him. "Your arrogance will be the death of you."
