58: Chapter 58 Thunderous Flame Dragon VS Celestial Divine ThunderAfter resolving the mysterious man's attack, the Going Merry headed towards the entrance to Skypiea.When they learned from the gatekeeper that each person needed to pay one billion Irks (equivalent to one million Berries) to enter the island, even Luffy, who knew the plot, was shocked upon learning the cost."Just asking, just asking, can we enter the island if we don't have the money?"
Nami, always greedy for money, stopped Usopp who wanted to bargain and said with a fawning expression, "It's fine." The gatekeeper didn't even raise an eyelid and said yes.Everyone cheered.Luffy didn't care.It was just a wanted notice.They were already wanted by the World Government.What was a little God Island's wanted notice?It would be quick.A giant shrimp emerged from the sea of clouds.After being introduced by the gatekeeper, the Express Shrimp took the Going Merry and quickly entered the Sky Gate.It sped along the cloud path.Not long after Luffy and his crew left, the gatekeeper took out a shell that looked like a microphone and said, "Amazon, the Sky Gate Inspector, reports to the Almighty God and all the priests that ten illegal intruders have invaded the God Kingdom.Please punish them according to the law." The gatekeeper smiled smugly after receiving the reply and then ignored it.In her opinion, Luffy and his crew were doomed once they were targeted by the god and priests she mentioned.At the other end of the cloud path, the Going Merry sped over with the help of the Express Shrimp, like a lightning bolt cutting through the clouds.The ship shimmered with a faint light, like a phantom drifting among the clouds.Everyone stood at the bow, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement; they had finally arrived at the sky island they had all dreamed of.
The floating island unfolded before them, like a mysterious fairyland.Cloud-shrouded peaks soared into the clouds, dotted with exotic plants and unique architecture.Sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting dappled shadows on the island.A mystical atmosphere permeated the fresh air, bringing an unprecedented sense of tranquility.
However, none of them knew they were being watched.This mysterious floating island harbored unknown dangers and secrets; perhaps a mysterious force was silently observing their every move, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.But at this moment, everyone was immersed in curiosity and a desire to explore their new environment, completely oblivious to the challenges that lay ahead.They couldn't wait to set foot on this mysterious territory and embark on an unknown adventure.
The group landed on the nearest island, where a beautiful beach came into view.Sunlight shone on the golden sand, creating a mesmerizing glow.On the island, they met Conis, a girl as beautiful as an angel, which almost made Sanji kneel down and propose to her on the spot.Led by Conis, the group arrived at her home with her father.Conis and her father prepared a sumptuous feast for the Straw Hat crew, and the group was also captivated by the various magical shells in the house.They learned that Skypiea had all sorts of amazing shells, and Usopp, who loved inventing, immediately decided to buy all sorts of shells to modify.Accompanied by Conis.They headed to the market to shop, and Nami discovered a strange motorboat inside a house.After Conis's father explained that it was a vehicle called the Waver, unique to Skypiea, and he generously gave it to Luffy and his crew.The Waver was carried to the edge of the cloud sea, and Luffy was the first to try it out.However, lacking knowledge of wind direction and ocean currents, he was completely unable to control it.As soon as he pulled the throttle, he shot off, swaying left and right on the cloud sea.Before long, to everyone's worried gaze, Luffy predictably capsized and fell into the cloud sea.Embarrassed, Luffy covered his face, slowly carrying the Waver to the shore, then plopped down and entered a state of self-isolation.Seeing Luffy's predicament, the others all stepped forward to try, wanting to prove their abilities.However, without exception, they all capsized at sea and scrambled ashore in a sorry state.
Nami surveyed everyone's miserable state and pondered for a moment.She walked to the Waver, observed it carefully, and then lightly jumped aboard.Her movements were graceful and confident, as if she possessed a unique understanding of the Waver.Under her control, the Waver glided smoothly across the sea without showing any signs of capsizing.
Everyone stared at Nami in disbelief, their hearts filled with admiration and envy.Luffy, snapping out of his daze, shouted excitedly, "Nami, you're amazing!"
Nami turned and gave Luffy a sweet smile before continuing to steer the Waver away into the distance.Soon, she spotted an island shrouded in trees.Before she could get a better look, a cannonball suddenly hurtled towards them.Sensing the danger, Nami braked in time, and the cannonball struck the island directly, knocking over a man trying to escape.The shockwave nearly capsized Nami's ship.Following the trajectory of the cannonball, Nami saw the mysterious man who had tried to destroy their ship on the island's edge.The severely injured man looked haggard, and he reached out a trembling hand to the somewhat bewildered Nami, his eyes filled with despair and pleading.However, Nami instantly sensed that this man was no good; a sinister glint lurked in his eyes.Without hesitation, she refused his request.
Upon seeing this, the man's expression changed drastically.Enraged, he drew his sword, revealing a ferocious face.At this terrifying moment, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.A dazzling bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, striking directly at the man and instantly reducing him to ashes.
Nami stared in disbelief at everything that was happening before her eyes.The mysterious man, after witnessing the lightning strike, muttered "Enel" angrily and then strode away.Lightning seemed to be gathering in the sky.Just as Nami was about to retaliate in kind, Luffy flew in at lightning speed and blocked her path with a "Thunder Flame Dragon!"
A lightning boltA fiery dragon surrounded Luffy, while the lightning in the sky seemed enraged, roaring as if warning Luffy not to challenge the authority of the gods.However, Luffy ignored it, pointing his finger to the sky.The fiery dragon surrounding Luffy roared at the lightning-filled sky, seemingly enraging the lightning.With a roar, a thick bolt of lightning struck down towards Luffy's head.The fiery dragon, also enraged, roared and lunged at the lightning as Luffy waved his hand.Soon, the fiery dragon and the lightning in the sky were locked in combat, and before long, the fiery dragon devoured the lightning.A bolt of lightning struck, and the fiery dragon, having absorbed the lightning, seemed to grow even larger, continuing its charge into the depths of the sky.As if finding its target, the lightning-fiery dragon directly attacked the man with large earlobes.The man, seemingly unprepared for his attack to be neutralized, could only helplessly engage the dragon in a fierce battle.No matter how he attacked, his lightning was devoured by the dragon.His mental net was also ineffective against it.Caught off guard, he was struck by the dragon.Had he not transformed into his elemental form in time, the power unleashed by the lightning-fiery dragon would have severely injured him.However, when the dust settled, his figure appeared somewhat disheveled.
