Angel Island · Cloud Sea Battlefield
Lightning surged like ten thousand dragons, raging violently. Enel's furious thunder descended from the sky, consuming the heavens and earth, instantly turning the sky above Angel Island into a golden prison of lightning.
But just as destruction was about to strike—
Swish!
An afterimage flashed past. Roy, taking Conis with him, vanished without a trace. In the next instant, they reappeared on a high cloud platform far away. Roy placed the terrified Conis behind a cloud barrier and stood with his arms crossed, looking down on the battlefield with his usual playful smirk.
In the air, lightning shook the clouds. Enel floated in mid-air, his golden pupils coldly fixed on the fiery youth before him. The electricity at his fingertips danced like snakes, radiating killing intent.
"An ant from the Blue Sea dares to look a god in the eye?"
Ace's response was a fearless smile, his fists blazing with azure flames that distorted the air. "A god? You're just a narcissistic lightning bastard."
"Flame Pillar!" He threw a punch. The scorching flames on his arm compressed to their limit before erupting into a pillar of blue and white fire that shot towards Enel.
Surprise flickered in Enel's eyes. He snorted and his figure dissipated into a serpentine arc of lightning. Swish! He reappeared behind Ace.
"20 Million Volt: Discharge!"
BOOM!!!
High-voltage lightning erupted with a deafening roar, exploding behind Ace. The clash of lightning and fire created a massive blast, blowing a deep crater in the cloud layer for a hundred meters around.
Enel's eyes narrowed as he saw Ace's flaming form withstand the lightning. A rare look of astonishment crossed his face. "You... you can also use 'God's power'?"
Ace brushed the lingering electricity from his shoulder and scoffed, "Don't get it twisted. This isn't some divine power. You really call yourself a god just because you ate a Logia fruit? You're unbelievably arrogant."
Hearing this, Enel's face darkened, and the electricity around him crackled as his aura shifted. "You're the arrogant one!!" He suddenly accelerated, becoming a streak of light that flashed through the air. "60 Million Volt: Thunder Beast!" The golden drums on his back spun, releasing arcs of lightning that converged into a wolf-shaped blast of high-voltage current, which he slammed down on Ace.
"Mirror Flame!" Ace roared, swinging his arm to unleash a massive wall of fire that crashed against the Thunder Beast.
Fire and lightning collided head-on, creating a massive ring of light in the sky. The battle in the heavens had entered its most ferocious stage.
On the eastern sea of clouds, the battle between Zoro and Ohm was equally intense. Ohm's "Iron Cloud Sword" constantly changed shape, shifting from a whip to a giant hammer, then to a trident-like blade under his control.
"In my 'Ordeal of Iron'," Ohm said, his voice cold and indifferent, "the sword in your hand is nothing but a dull piece of metal."
Zoro drew his two swords. "Then let's see if this dull metal can chop that smug look off your face!"
"Shave!" He launched himself from the clouds. "Two-Sword Style: Hawk Wave!!" A furious slash sent a blast of sword-wind howling towards Ohm.
Ohm remained calm, transforming his sword into a fan to block. Using his Mantra, he precisely predicted the slash's trajectory and countered. "Iron Cloud: Sever!"
CLANG!
Swords clashed, sending sparks flying. Zoro was knocked back several meters, a line of blood appearing on his cheek where the fan's edge had grazed him. He wiped his face, his fighting spirit only growing stronger as a dangerous smile spread across his lips. "Heh... interesting."
Ohm's Iron Cloud weapon changed again, becoming a serpentine whip that whistled through the air. "Iron Cloud: Choke!"
Zoro flipped to avoid it, crossing his swords to defend. "Two-Sword Style: Crescent Moon!" He instantly unleashed two crossing crescent-shaped air blades that sliced through the clouds and broke the iron whip.
Ohm frowned slightly. "Impressive power, but your movements... are too easy to read." With that, his Iron Cloud sword instantly extended and transformed into a rapier, its speed increasing dramatically as it lunged for Zoro's throat.
Zoro's eyes sharpened. He ducked into a horizontal slash. "Two-Sword Style: Returning Blade!" The two charged into a close-quarters brawl, their blades flashing like lightning in a deadly dance.
In the southern sea of clouds, a fierce wind blew as scorching flames rolled across the cloud layer. Shura's arms were wrapped in burning Rope Clouds, a Heat Spear strapped to his back. He stood on a cloud belt like a crazed hunter, licking his lips with a twisted smile.
"Woman, can your sword outpace my flames?" He suddenly drew his spear, the fire at its tip burning so hot it distorted the air.
Kuina stood unafraid, gripping her Wado Ichimonji. The blade hummed softly, its aura like a coiled spring of green light. She simply exhaled and said softly, "Let's find out."
"Flash!" Her blade flashed like a shadow in the wind, and her figure vanished. SWOOSH!! The blade cut through the flames, aimed straight for Shura's throat.
A sharp glint appeared in Shura's eyes. He sneered and threw out a circle of Rope Clouds. "Rope Bind: Life Lock!" Several tough-as-steel cloud ropes shot out from his spear, forming a net to block Kuina's attack. But in the next instant, she cleanly severed them with a single stroke.
"Too slow," Kuina said coolly, stepping lightly on the clouds to close the distance again.
Shura gritted his teeth and roared, turning his spear and plunging it into the clouds, unleashing a violent burst of flame. "Heat Dial: Fissure!" A wave of fire erupted like a volcano, scorching the cloud-scape and rolling towards Kuina. She hopped nimbly across rising cloud chunks, weaving through the sea of fire like a swallow, her sword cutting through the heat as she countered with a slash. "Cloud Dance: Swallow's Return!"
A deep gash opened on Shura's back, and he nearly dropped his spear. "Ha... not bad..." Shura licked the blood from his lips, his eyes growing even more crazed. "But you think you've won?" He sprang into the air, and dozens of cloud ropes shot from his back, forming multiple net traps in the sky.
Kuina looked up, her expression serious but unafraid. She gave her Wado Ichimonji a slight twirl. "Come on. Let me cut through your arrogance."
In the western sea of clouds, a thick fog roiled. The Swamp Clouds writhed and churned like living monsters, obscuring the view and filling the air with a suffocating, viscous smell. Gedatsu, clad in cloud-mud armor, skated on Breath Dials, his movements as fluid and unpredictable as a phantom snake.
"In my Swamp Cloud... you will suffocate!" He flung his hand, and a clump of gray-black Swamp Cloud shot through the air, trailing sticky threads as it surrounded Law. The air itself seemed to turn sticky, even sound being suppressed.
Law stood motionless. He raised his right hand and tapped a finger in the empty air. "ROOM: Scan!" A blue, circular domain instantly expanded, sweeping over the area. SWOOSH! Just before the Swamp Cloud could engulf him, he vanished, swapping places with a distant stone pillar. In the next instant, he appeared behind Gedatsu and drew his sword.
"Amputate!" A flash of purple light, the blade aimed for his back.
Gedatsu spun around, the Breath Dials on his feet roaring as he forced himself into a sideways slide to escape. "Breath Dial: Move!" His body became a high-speed afterimage, diagonally charging down from the sky.
"You think your little tricks can trap me?" Law's face was impassive as he calmly extended his hands again. "ROOM: Shambles!" He swapped places with a piece of shattered cloud rock, then swung his sword. "Injection Slash!" A blade of energy shot out, hitting Gedatsu in the left shoulder.
"Hiss!!" Gedatsu cried out in pain, his armor cracking as blood dripped into the Swamp Cloud. "Tch... you're... so annoying!" He spat out a cloud of black poison fog to obscure Law's vision while simultaneously spreading his Swamp Cloud, trying to compress the surgical domain.
But Law just gave a cold smile and shifted his feet. "ROOM: Expand!" The entire cloud region instantly turned azure, as if he had sliced open the sky itself. "Your 'swamp'... is too dirty. Allow me to 'debride' it for you."
The two clashed again amidst the fog and blue light, sword flashes, spatial distortions, and swampy slime constantly colliding in a fierce battle.
