Chapter 148 Ship SpiritInside the temple, Enel's residence, only two of the four High Priests remained. These two had been summoned by God and had arrived at the temple."Only two of us are left from the original four High Priests. The other two were too careless," said one of the High Priests with a spider-leg hairstyle."Hmph, even if only I'm left, wouldn't it be better for me to manage this Sky Island myself?" the other High Priest said.At this moment, both looked forward. Enel, as God, sat on the main seat, smiling at them."Yo yo, only two of the original four High Priests remain. You mustn't underestimate those Blue Sea people; they possess impressive strength," Enelchuckled.His Mantra had long since detected the presence of the Blue Sea people.However, at this time, Enel wanted to play a game."Now, the Shandia have already set off towards here, and the Blue Sea people are also rushing this way. Let's play a game, a survival game. We will deploy you two High Priests and 50 Divine Soldiers, plus myself. Who do you think will survive? Hahahahahahaha."As God, Enel was extremely confident."And what I'm going to do next is end Sky Island and then begin our brand new journey."Enel's ambition and plan were not limited to Sky Island; his ambition was much grander.The two High Priests looked at Enel on the platform in surprise."We will definitely deal with those invaders."——————Night.Arthur was still the one on night watch for the Straw Hat Crew.Around him, countless small snakes crawled, acting as Arthur's eyes, observing the surrounding area.At this moment, Arthur sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating according to Zoro's method."Clang! Clang! Clang!"Just then, he suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from the Going Merry, and he immediately opened his eyes."A sound from the Going Merry? What's going on?"Arthur muttered to himself, then slowly walked towards the Going Merry.At this time, a ghost-like figure was knocking on the ship around the Going Merry.Seeing this, Arthur's eyes widened, and the ghost-like figure even smiled after seeing Arthur."You... you are..."Arthur was a little incredulous; he couldn't believe such a thing existed in this world.Is this a ghost? No, that's not right. It would be more accurate to call it a spirit!The next second, Arthur used Body Flicker Technique and appeared directly in front of the glowing spirit."Thank you for helping us repair the ship!"If this guy in front of him was really a spirit, then it must be a ship-repairing spirit, helping them fix their ship. So, he definitely had to thank him."Aren't we comrades? There's no need to say thank you."The spirit's voice rang out.At this moment, Arthur was stunned once again.Comrade?Then, he immediately calmed down, his mind racing, thinking of every member of the Straw Hat Crew.After a while, Arthur smiled."Yes, Merry, we've always been comrades."He knew all the comrades of the entire Straw Hat Pirates. If this guy called himself a comrade of the Straw Hat Crew, combined with the ship repairs and its current spirit form, Arthur had a bold guess.Everything can become a spirit. The guy in front of him might just be the Going Merry's ship spirit, who knows?And this time, it was the spirit's turn to be stunned. She hadn't expected Arthur to guess her identity in one go.Just then, a scream came from the side.It was Usopp's voice. Arthur thought something had happened and immediately turned to look.What he saw was Usopp, his finger pointing at them. The next second, Usopp immediately fainted."Merry, it looks like you scared him unconscious," Arthur said with a smile."I'm so sorry. When he wakes up, please tell him I apologize," the ship spirit said softly, then continued repairing the ship."All I can do to help everyone is to let you continue sailing."Arthur looked at the already tattered Going Merry. At this moment, he realized that Merry also had a life, and he couldn't treat her as just an ordinary ship anymore.Arthur continued to chat with Merry for a while, then said goodbye to Merry and returned to his original spot, lying down.As for Usopp, who had fainted nearby, he didn't bother with him. It was quite amusing that this guy would be scared unconscious by the one he was closest to.The next day."Usopp, why are you sleeping here?" Zoro was the first to discover Usopp lying by the water and said.After Usopp got up, he pointed at the Going Merryand said, "There's a ghost, there's really a ghost!""A ghost?" Zoro looked at Usopp helplessly. Had this guy been scared silly by God? Why was he thinking about ghosts again?However, he then made everyone look at the Going Merry and said, "Yesterday I saw a ghost repairing our ship!"He suddenly remembered something and said to Arthur, "Arthur, last night I saw you talking to the ghost. Tell them I'm not lying!"At this, the Straw Hat Crew all looked at Arthur.Arthur waved his hand helplessly and said to everyone, "The one who helped us repair the ship yesterday was the Going Merry herself!""The Going Merry herself?" everyone asked, confused.Arthur nodded and continued, "Legend has it that after a ship sails with navigators for some time, it develops self-awareness and a ship spirit. What Usopp saw was the ship spirit Merry, and she was the one who helped us repair the ship. She has always been our comrade, hasn't she?"Hearing this news, everyone looked at the Going Merry with smiles, and Usopp stared blankly at the Going Merry and said, "Merry, so you've been watching us all this time?""That's right, Merry told me yesterday that her favorite thing is for us to continue sailing. She doesn't want to hold us back."Tears of determination flowed from Usopp's eyes, and then he said to Merry, "Thank you, Merry."After hearing this news, everyone lowered the Going Merry into the water. Then, Nami took out a map and said."What we need to do next is find the gold and then successfully leave Sky Island. After my decision, Arthur, Zoro, and Luffy, the three of you will form an exploration team to retrieve the gold from this location. Then, Merry and I will meet you, and we'll all leave here together.""What? You want the gold, but you're not going yourself!" Arthur said helplessly."That's a very dangerous thing. How can I, a beautiful girl like me, risk it?" Nami said.Luffy and Zoro had no objections. Just then, Robinsaid, "I also love exploring. How about I join you?"Hearing this news, Nami smiled. After all, in her eyes, Robin was much more reliable than those three guys.
Chapter 149 Lord of the SkyUltimately, everyone decided that Arthur, Luffy, Zoro, and Robin would form an exploration team to search for gold.Nami gave Arthur a special mission: to have noobeat all the gold. After all, according to legend, there was a vast amount of gold there, and an ordinary person couldn't carry that much."Trust me, everyone, follow me. I'll quickly lead you to our rendezvous point," Zoro said to the group with a serious expression."Tch, you big-time Lost, how could you possibly know the way? Just follow me from now on!" Luffysaid dismissively.Arthur and Robin watched the two argue, realizing that both of their suggested paths were wrong."The correct route should be this way," Robin said, pointing in a direction."You really are a big-time Lost!" Luffy pouted."The path you're pointing to isn't right either!" Zoro said angrily.Arthur shook his head helplessly, then followed Robin. It was better to ignore those two; they would only lower his IQ.Afterward, the four began to advance. Due to the climate of Skypiea, the forests here were far more massive than those in the Blue Sea, with every tree being a giant."I feel some movement nearby," Arthur said to the group, then immediately turned his head. Sure enough, a massive creature appeared in their sight.At this point, the four had not penetrated very deep into the forest; they were still on its outskirts."It's a python!" Zoro said, his eyes fixed.The giant python also noticed them. This was a massive beast over 200 meters long, and it had already surrounded them."Everyone, be careful. This snake's strength is not ordinary," Arthur warned the group.The next second, the python began to attack them. Luffy and the others quickly dodged, and the python's fangs bit into a large tree."Why are this snake's fangs so long?" Luffyexclaimed in surprise.Then, everyone saw the tree that had just been bitten being corroded by the python's venom."Such potent venom!" Zoro and Luffy exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.The next moment, the group was scattered. The python's attacks continued. Arthur lightly leaped directly onto the python's head, covering his body tightly with Chakra to prevent being thrown off by the python.He was now very interested in this venomous snake.Both its venom and its size made him eager to try.When Arthur looked up, he had already found himself in a different scene."Where is this? It seems I've gotten separated from everyone," Arthur sighed.However, he thought that all the members of this expedition team were first-rate experts, so he wasn't worried about their safety. Instead, he continued to figure out how to subdue this python."Great snake, just give in to me!" Arthur revealed an excited smile.That's right, he wanted this python to become his Summoning Beast.A 200-meter-long giant python with powerful venom and skin defense far superior to ordinary pythons, even like steel—acquiring such a Summoning Beast would be a huge gain.However, how could the giant python so easily let Arthur have his way? The python's body crashed into a large tree. Seeing this, Arthur quickly moved to the python's belly, dodging the impact."Tch, it seems if I don't give you a taste of my power, you won't easily become my Summoning Beast."Arthur's eyes changed, and the expression on his face also became excited.The great snake naturally understood Arthur's words. Although it didn't know what a Summoning Beast meant, it could understand that this person wanted to subdue it.Although the opponent had a similar aura, making it feel very close, it was impossible for it to become the opponent's subordinate. Even in an ordinary snake group, it was the Snake King.The next second, it suddenly felt a pain in its vital spot and immediately became vigilant.At this moment, Arthur had already reached the great snake's vital spot.Arthur's hands quickly formed a hand seal, and the Chakra in his body flowed rapidly."Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"A huge flame erupted from Arthur's mouth, then burned the python's vital spot.Feeling the pain, the giant python began to thrash violently."Does it hurt? If it hurts, just give in to me!"Arthur leaped high. He knew that this python would not easily become his Summoning Beast, and his hands still didn't stop moving."Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"Seeing the python's vital spot, Arthur's attack came again.Fire met wind and became even more intense. The giant python only felt its vulnerable spot hurt even more.At this point, the python began to wail, but it still showed no signs of being subdued."You don't want to be subdued?" Arthur showed a hint of helplessness. Such a python was indeed not so easily subdued.The next second, Arthur landed, looking at the massive snake head, his hands filled with powerful lightning."Lightning Release: False Darkness!"This time, Arthur used the power of the cursed seal. The original lightning changed color and became somewhat dark.The next second, the lightning attacked the giant python's vital spot again. After all, as a carbon-based life form, it could not resist lightning at all. The powerful lightning quickly pierced through its entire body.The giant python let out another painful wail. Lightning, fire, and strong wind—three attacks had already caused the giant python immense pain.Just as Arthur was preparing to attack again, a sound came from the giant python."I am willing to become your Summoning Beast."Hearing this, Arthur smiled. Indeed, sometimes force, while not solving the root problem, can fundamentally solve it.Orochimaru's memory wasn't difficult for summoning, was it?Soon, he signed a summoning contract with this giant python."Don't worry, this summoning contract isn't to make you my subordinate, but to make you my partner. I will summon you when I have difficulties in the future," Arthur said with a smile."..." Why didn't you say so earlier, letting me suffer such great harm before telling me.After resolving these matters, Arthur gained a powerful Summoning Beast, which greatly enhanced his strength.This python actually had a lot of room for development. After all, it had such a massive body. For some reason, Arthur had an idea of modifying this python.This might be because the previous successful robot modification had sparked Arthur's interest in modification.Arthur stroked the now docile giant python's head and said, "You can leave here. I don't need your help right now."Hearing Arthur's words, the python began to move, crawling towards the depths of the forest."What a docile pet. But now that I've lost Luffy and the others, this forest isn't very safe. I need to get to the rendezvous point quickly."[Next is the voting session.

Chapter 150 Meeting the Priest AgainOn the Going Merry.Nami and the others all looked wary.Because in front of them, a man was sitting on the bow, smiling and looking at everyone."You are..." Nami asked."He is God Enel, who now rules Skypiea," Gan Fallsaid from the side."He is God?" When Usopp heard this news, he immediately entered his armor."That's right, I am the current ruler of Skypiea, but my goal has been achieved, and I don't think this Skypiea has any reason to exist anymore," Enel said with a smile."What did you say!"Upon hearing this, Sanji knew that since the opponent had reached his ship, then the opponent was an enemy.With that, Sanji leaped lightly and went directly in front of Enel, attacking him.The next second, a powerful current struck, and Sanji felt as if he had kicked electricity, his whole body becoming numb."As they said, is your power controlling electricity?" Sanji was not knocked down by this blow. The trained Sanji had already initially mastered Armament Haki and fully awakened Observation Haki. Although he wasn't particularly proficient in using them, he habitually used them with every attack."Not bad, Blue Sea dweller, to be able to withstand the power of lightning!" Enel's expression remained unchanged.However, Sanji on the side looked solemn because his entire body was now charred, and the pain was unbearable. Although he hadn't fainted, he had already felt the opponent's strength.With the Armament Haki he currently possessed, it was very difficult to cause damage to a Natural Devil Fruit user, especially since the opponent's Devil Fruit was lightning.But he would never allow the opponent to harm Miss Nami.Enel then said, "Why are you all so nervous? I'm not here to kill you.""Who would believe that!" Usopp in the mech and Chopper on the side shouted simultaneously.Hearing Usopp and Chopper's shouts, Enel instantly appeared beside Usopp."Since you question God, then...""Usopp, be careful!" Sanji shouted, but it was too late. A bolt of lightning shot from Enel's finger towards Usopp.The next second, the lightning instantly struck the mech's body.Boom!Usopp, who had his eyes tightly shut, found that he felt no pain.That's right, this mech could defend against lightning; its interior was surrounded by Gomu Gomu."Hahahahaha, what kind of rubbish God is this! He can't even hurt Captain Usopp."Enel was also a little surprised by the ineffectiveness of his attack.Just then, Sanji's flying kick had already reached his face."I'm a little angry now."The next second, a fierce lightning bolt struck, and Sanji was directly knocked unconscious.Enel, with a flash, appeared back on the bow."It seems the thing you're wearing can prevent lightning, but I wonder how strong a lightning bolt your clothes can withstand?"With that, Enel increased the intensity."Ten million volts!"The armor was only made of ordinary Gomu Gomu, and this level of electricity was enough to melt Gomu Gomu.Bang!Sure enough, after being hit by this blow, Usopp fell to the ground.The mech was now completely damaged."Hahahahaha, I already said I wasn't here to kill you. Since you chose to resist, you can't blame me." Then, Enel lightly pointed again, and Chopper on the side was also knocked unconscious.However, Enel ultimately kept his word and did not continue to attack Nami, but turned and left.On the other side.In front of Arthur, a man with a spider-like hairstyle was staring at him."Another God's Agent?" Arthur muttered to himself, feeling a bit helpless about his luck.However, the strength of these God's Agents should be similar, and he was not afraid."I am Satori, the God's Agent of the Swamp Trial. Since you've come here, you've become my prey."The God's Agent said with a smile."It's not certain who is whose prey yet, is it? A God's Agent like you is nothing special. Quickly call out your God and let me see what kind of fellow your God is!" Arthur said.He didn't feel any danger from the person in front of him. A snake's sense of danger is particularly keen, which meant the opponent was not a very strong person, and he found it hard to be particularly interested."Arrogant Little girl, but next, let me show you my power!"With that, a cloud resembling a swamp appeared in the God's Agent's hand."Swamp Cloud!"Arthur, standing opposite it, did not dodge, allowing the cloud to stick to his body.The next second, a poisonous snake emerged from the cloud, instantly defeating the cloud created by the God's Agent."This cloud is quite interesting, actually like a swamp. However, even so, with such a small swamp, how could I possibly fall for it?" Arthur said with a smile.Then, countless small snakes emerged from Arthur's hand and rushed towards the God's Agent.Seeing this, the God's Agent merely leaped lightly and flew high into the air."You Blue Sea dwellers who can't use Dials, how could you possibly be our opponents? Watch my Jet Punch!"An Impact Dial appeared on the God's Agent's arm, and his fist, boosted by the Impact Dial's speed, rapidly rushed towards Arthur."Power increased by external force is merely a minor trick," Arthur said.A light dodge then allowed him to avoid the God's Agent's attack, and the stone behind Arthur was completely shattered after being heavily struck."Good strength!"Arthur said. Then, the Chakra in his body began to gather, and immediately after, it gathered in his fist."Jet Punch!""Super Strength!"With a bang, the two forces collided, followed by the sound of bones cracking."How is this possible!" The God's Agent, feeling the pain, cried out in disbelief."I already told you that your kind of power is just external. To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself. Your fist, if it encounters a fist of similar strength, simply cannot withstand it."Immediately after, Arthur appeared again, striking the God's Agent's abdomen with his fist. This punch directly sent the God's Agent flying into the sky.[Ding, congratulations to the host for defeating an A-rank character, gaining 100 experience points.]A-rank?"System, I feel these A-rank characters aren't that strong. Why are they still in the A-rank category?"[This system will never make a mistake. Strength is judged comprehensively, and external force is also part of strength.]Arthur nodded. Then, countless small snakes appeared and instantly bit the God's Agent, who had just been knocked unconscious.[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing an A-rank character, gaining 1000 experience points.]Defeat first, then kill. This way, I get an extra 100 experience points. This choice is quite good.Arthur thought.If there's a loophole to exploit, why not exploit it?(Indeed, Zoro's votes far exceeded everyone else's
Chapter 151 The Last PriestThe soldiers nearby, seeing their priest so easily defeated, started sweating profusely."Who exactly are you?" the soldier asked nervously.However, Arthur ignored the soldier and walked past him.Just a minor henchman, why bother?Arthur continued forward and soon saw the gigantic, upward-growing vine."Suddenly, I'm reminded of a legend: planting a small pea can lead to heaven," Arthur muttered to himself.However, at such an obvious location, anyone could tell that this must be their agreed-upon meeting point."I hope Zoro can find this place. It's so obvious, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"With that, Arthur sped up, continuing his journey. They were searching for the gold that existed in this country.Arthur quickly arrived at the base of the giant vine. He looked up from below, and its height was unfathomable."There's such a high place on Sky Island. How thin must the air be in a place like this!" Arthur muttered to himself.Then, the Chakra within him flowed to cover the soles of his feet, and he slowly ascended the giant vine."This area seems to be a ruin. Could this be the legendary Golden City?"Arthur wasn't interested in history; history was merely the past, and he had no desire to imitate it. But the future was different; it was full of unknowns, making it all the more captivating."However, the gold here must be obtained. After all, only with enough money can I buy things to satisfy my needs."The mecha he had previously built, now with the support of the shells, he planned to modify and strengthen once again.All these things required a large amount of money; the creation of any scientific technology was inseparable from financial support."How high is this exactly?" Arthur looked up. He had been walking for a long time but still hadn't seen the top.Just then, a sense of danger suddenly struck him. There was a cloud-covered foothold halfway up the giant vine. He quickly climbed up and stood on the cloud."There are so many ancient towns here," Arthursaid, looking around.Just then, a robust man appeared in front of him, watching him."Did you kill the priest of the Swamp Trial?"Arthur showed no fear, looked at him, and nodded, saying, "Indeed, I killed him. You must be one of the priests as well, right?"Upon hearing this news, the robust priest frowned deeply."You actually killed it. Well, it's fine if you killed it. That useless thing wasn't good for anything anyway. Now I'm the only priest left, and I am the priest of the Iron Trial, with a 0% success rate."0% success rate?The four priests controlled four trials, and now, the priests of three trials had all been defeated, leaving only the priest before him."You mean you're going to deal with me?" Arthursmiled and said."Since you've come here, you're as good as dead. I'm not like those wastes."Arthur was unconcerned. Compared to the priest, he was more interested in the legendary god."I think you'd better call out your god. You alone are no match for me."No sooner had Arthur finished speaking than he felt a hint of killing intent. Then, a sword light struck, and Arthur dodged accordingly."An ambush? That's a sign of weakness." Arthurleaped, a slight smile on his face.Just then, the priest slowly walked towards his pet, a giant dog."Bite him to death!"The priest said to the large dog, and then the dog ran, charging towards Arthur."Bang!!"Because of its massive size, this large dog possessed immense attacking power.Its huge paw slammed onto the ground, making it tremble.At this moment, Arthur suddenly laughed and said to the priest, "Do you think only you have a pet? I also have a pet. I wonder whose pet is stronger, yours or mine?""Little girl, who do you think I am? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" the priest's rough voice sounded."In that case, let's give it a try."As Arthur spoke, he began to form hand seals."Summoning Jutsu!"The next second, a large number of runes appeared on the ground."Bang!"A giant python appeared in mid-air, and having arrived here so suddenly, even the python was a bit confused.It was clearly sleeping, why was it here?Then, it saw Arthur on the ground and immediately understood everything.The python, having lived for several centuries, possessed intelligence not inferior to humans."This... This is the Sky Lord!" the priest exclaimed, looking at the suddenly appearing giant python.Just then, Arthur leaped directly onto the giant python's head."How is this possible? How could the Sky Lord be his pet?"And in front of the colossal Sky Lord, the originally large dog trembled like an ant.Arthur was very satisfied with this effect.So he patted the Sky Lord's head and said, "Hmm, from now on, I'll call you Little Green!"The Sky Lord, hearing this name, felt a bit helpless. Such a mighty and enormous beast as him was to be called the effeminate name Little Green.Impossible, absolutely impossible!"Ah! Don't be angry. You also have an elder, Little White. Do you want me to call it out to play with you?"With that, the Little White around Arthur's neck quickly grew, and then, a white giant python as large as Little Green appeared.At this moment, the Sky Lord fell silent. Actually, the name Little Green wasn't so bad.He hadn't expected that acknowledging a master could also result in being assigned... As expected of my good master!Little White raised its proud head, as if saying, I am the boss.However, what was unexpected was that the originally fierce Little Green did not refute.The next second, Little White transformed back into the lazy little snake draped around Arthur's neck."Little Green, eat that dog!"At this moment, Little Green was very motivated, directly opening its huge maw. Its speed was unimaginably fast, making it impossible for the dog to escape.The next second, the dog entered Little Green's stomach. If the priest hadn't escaped in time, he would have gone into the stomach as well.Then, Arthur lightly leaped in front of the priest."Now we can have a fair duel, right? Your pet is gone, and I won't let my pet participate in our battle. I want to see what kind of strength you priests truly possess?"Arthur said with a smile.Just as Arthur was about to make a move, a shout came from the sky above, a sound that made him immediately turn his head.Because this voice was very familiar to him; it was Zoro, who had gotten separated from him.
Chapter 152 Cooperation"Zoro!"Arthur was very excited when he saw Zoro dismount from a strange bird."Arthur, why are you here?" Zoro asked.Arthur waved his hand and said, "This should be our gathering place, right? Isn't it normal for me to be here?"Just then, an old man suddenly flew up on a bird, and on the other side, a dark-skinned young man walked up with a cannon-like device."It truly interests me that so many people have come to my Iron Trial!" The High Priest said, looking at the four."To find Enel, we first need to defeat these High Priests," the dark-skinned man said.Arthur waved his hand at the man and said, "I've already defeated two High Priests, and my companion has defeated one. Now there's only one High Priest left."The man was slightly stunned by Arthur's words. He had just witnessed Arthur summon the Sky Lord, and he no longer regarded the woman in front of him as weak."Do you want to go to the Sky Palace? That's useless. I just returned from the Sky Palace. The sky has been destroyed, and Enel must have other plans. Perhaps the Sky Palace was just a burden to him," Gan Fall said with a sigh."Hey, do you even see me?" The High Priest of the Iron Trial said to the crowd, angry at being ignored.Just then, Arthur suddenly heard Xiao Qing's cry."It feels like something is constantly attacking me inside my stomach," Xiao Qing said to Arthur.For some reason, hearing this, Arthur had an ominous premonition.Running into a giant snake's stomach for no reason—could the person who would do such a thing be Luffy?"Xiao Bai, go into Xiao Qing's stomach and see. If Luffy is in there, bring him out," Arthur said to Xiao Bai on his neck.Hearing Arthur's words, Zoro looked at Arthur and asked, "Is Xiao Qing that python?"Arthur nodded."My new pet."Zoro nodded, a hint of surprise on his face.The next second, Xiao Bai burrowed into Xiao Qing's stomach.At this moment, Arthur and Zoro both looked at the High Priest of the Iron Trial in front of them."Leave this guy to me!" Zoro said, looking at Arthur.The opponent held a sword, which greatly interested Zoro."Of course," Arthur said with a smile.Then, he turned to the dark-skinned man and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your goal is to defeat Enel and reclaim your homeland, while we are only interested in the gold here and have no interest in your homeland. So, we don't want to fight you. Although I don't think you can defeat us, I don't want to fight such a meaningless battle."Arthur waved his hand. He had heard Gan Fall talk about the Shandia story, and he felt that the Shandia in front of him were not wrong.Is it wrong to reclaim one's homeland?The Shandia fell into contemplation. He wasn't a fool; he had just witnessed the strength of the person in front of him, and he had even killed two High Priests.If he really fought this person, his chances of winning were very small.Seeing the other party's silence, Arthur sat down."Since you want to defeat 'God,' then you must have found a way to defeat him, right? He might be a Natural Devil Fruit user related to lightning. If there's no way to suppress his ability, you can't hurt him at all. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"Seeing that Arthur had no intention of attacking, the Shandia also sat down. At this moment, he indeed needed to calm down."Wyper."Wyper said to Arthur.While the two were talking, Zoro was fighting the High Priest on the other side."Your sword can extend? I understand the principle now," Zoro said with a smile to the High Priest."Is that so? Blue Sea Swordsman, what does it matter even if you know?" The High Priest said with a laugh.At this moment, Zoro put on his green bandana, signifying that he was going to fight with all his might."Now, let me show you how I defeat you!"With that, Zoro's three swords were already in position."One World, Thirty-Six Troubles! Two Worlds, Seventy-Two Troubles! Three Worlds, One Hundred Eight Troubles! Three-Sword Style: One Hundred Eight Pound Phoenix!!!"This was Zoro's long-range attack ability. The three swords converged into a powerful sword energy that slashed towards the High Priest.The speed was so fast that the High Priest didn't even have time to react. The next second, Zoro's attack accurately struck the High Priest."A High Priest is nothing special after all."Zoro sheathed his three swords and then turned around. At this point, all four High Priests had been completely defeated.Just then, everyone heard a voice from below—it was Nami's voice.Nami, riding a waiba, quickly arrived in front of everyone."Nami, where are Chopper and the others?" Arthurasked her when he saw his companion arrive.Nami sighed and said to Zoro and Arthur, "They were defeated by God Enel. His strength is simply too great, completely beyond what humans can overcome. And you guessed correctly; he really is a Devil Fruit user with lightning powers."Hearing this, everyone frowned.At this moment, Arthur looked at Wyper and said, "It seems we now have a common enemy, and we are not interested in your homeland, so how about we cooperate?"Meanwhile, Gan Fall, who was once a god, walked over."If it's about dealing with Enel, then please count me in."Hearing everyone's words, Nami immediately shouted, "Didn't you understand what I said? I mean that guy is simply unbeatable by humans! We can still leave now!"At this point, Zoro said, "He hurt our companions, so how can we let him off easily? Even if he's a god, I'll still kill him for you to see!""It's hopeless!" Nami lowered her head. Her original intention was to tell everyone to leave, but unexpectedly, this only ignited their fighting spirit.However, at this moment, the few people present had gathered, and they now had a common enemy.That was the man known as God."Since the enemy is the same, we should cooperate. He is a Natural Devil Fruit user, so normal abilities won't work on him. The first thing that can harm him is the Haki we use in the Blue Sea, but I don't think everyone here knows how to use that ability," Arthur said with a sigh.At this, Zoro shook his head and said with a smile, "Armament Haki? I've already mastered it.""!!!"He's already mastered it?It must be said that Zoro's talent is incredibly strong, but this is also inseparable from his hard work.
Chapter 153 Enelu's Ambition"Then we have a way to counter Natural Devil Fruitusers," Arthur said with a smile.He then looked at Wyper and Gan Fall and continued, "As for the second method to counter Natural Devil Fruit users, it's the sea stone, a special product from the Blue Sea, which can suppress Devil Fruit abilities. If an ability user is hit by or gets close to sea stone, he will lose his power and be unable to use his Devil Fruit ability.""As for the third," Arthur recalled Luffy and continued, "The third is a power that can counter Devil Fruit ability users, such as water and fire. If the opponent uses lightning, our captain's Gum-Gum Fruit ability should be the most effective against him."He just didn't know where Luffy was now. If Luffywas really in Little Qing's stomach, then it would be a bit better. If it wasn't Luffy, then they would be in trouble.Luffy shouldn't be directionally challenged, right?Arthur shook his head.Although Luffy wasn't directionally challenged, he was an idiot.Thinking of this, Arthur prepared to continue discussing with them how to fight Enel.However, just then, a sound suddenly came from the sky, and a bolt of lightning descended."What's going on? Did Enel discover us?" Arthurasked."Enel's Mantra range is very wide. What we are doing now should be within his range," Gan Fallsaid."Why didn't you say so earlier!!!"However, it was already too late. The lightning completely shattered the Middle Layer island, and they began to fall with the island. Just then, everyone discovered an even larger ancient city at the bottom.Inside Little Qing's stomach."Little White, is the exit ahead?" Luffy scratched his head and asked.Since Little White couldn't communicate with Luffy, it just nodded.Just as the two were looking at the light, Little Qing's stomach suddenly shook as if there was an earthquake. They were almost at the exit, but the violent shaking brought them back to the deepest part.In the sky, Arthur stabilized his body and used Chakra to cling himself to a huge rock.Then, he kept jumping between the huge rocks, grabbing Nami and Zoro."Hold on tight! At this height, you'll definitely get hurt if you fall!" Arthur said to the two.Nami, beside him, was already in tears.Rumble.Debris kept falling, and Arthur jumped between each piece, using the force of the falling debris to cushion his landing. After a while, he successfully landed on the ground."We're saved!"Nami was in tears, while Zoro pushed Arthur's arm away and stood up."Robin!" Zoro looked ahead and saw a tall, slender woman standing in front of a huge rock.Then, Robin jogged over to Zoro and Arthur and asked, "Are you two alright?"The few of them shook their heads."God Enel is here, everyone be careful."Just as Robin finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from ahead. Everyone's gaze was immediately drawn to the laughter, and they looked up.A very pale-skinned man with bare shoulders, with circular drums behind him, was sitting on a cloud, looking at them."Enel!"Seeing the person in front of them, Gan Fall and Wyper showed angry expressions."Is this Enel? He doesn't look like much!" Arthurmuttered to himself.Zoro, who heard Arthur's voice, was a bit speechless.What good was caring about looks at a time like this?As everyone's gaze focused on Enel, Namiimmediately found a piece of rubble and hid behind it."Don't see me, don't see me," Nami kept muttering.Then Enel said, "Now, three hours have passed. I have devised a boring game and want to select some subordinates. My decision is that including myself, there should be five people left, but now there are seven. Which of you wants to withdraw from this team?""Enel, what exactly do you want to do?" Gan Fallasked.Enel stroked his chin, then replied, "Alright, consider this your reward for surviving until the end.""This Sky Island is indeed too small, a far cry from my dream. According to records, there is a land called the Infinite Continent. I want to go there, and you are the subordinates I want to choose. Do you want to go with me?""And next, I will leave here, and this land will fall underground."Enel then smiled."What? You mean to destroy this place? I will absolutely not allow it!"Gan Fall said angrily, clutching the weapon in his hand tightly.At this moment, Zoro turned his head and asked Arthur."What are you going to do? Withdraw?"Arthur shook his head.Just then, everyone's weapons simultaneously pointed at Enel, saying, "None of us intend to withdraw, so we have decided to kick you out of this team!""Hahahahahahaha, do you know what you are doing? I am God! This is disrespecting God!"Enel remained calm, perhaps in his eyes, these few people in front of him were merely jumping clowns, not on the same level as him."Be careful, his ability is lightning, one of the several Devil Fruit abilities known as invincible," Robinreminded everyone.Lightning is one of the most terrifying natural phenomena.It is a force most difficult for humans to contend with."Don't worry, we already made a plan to deal with him when we came down," Zoro said, looking at Arthur.Arthur was a bit speechless."Why are you looking at me? My plan was interrupted before I even said it. How could I have a plan? If there was a plan, shouldn't you know about it?""Tch, then what plan? Let's just act first." Wyper was also a man of strong execution. He picked up the cannon in his hand and aimed it at Enel.Boom!The cannon absorbed energy and instantly fired at Enel, the gunfirepower instantly engulfing Enel."Is he dealt with?" Gan Fall asked.Arthur shook his head."He is a Natural Devil Fruit user. Without the methods I just mentioned, it's very difficult to cause him harm. Such an attack is less than a tickle to him."As expected, Enel's body transformed into lightning, successfully evading Wyper's attack."Your attacks are ineffective against me. Don't waste your energy. You might as well think of a way to eliminate some of yourselves to become my teammates and go with me to that dream world," Enel said, his body coalescing as he addressed the group."Tch, don't underestimate us too much!"Zoro's sword was slowly covered by a surge of energy, and then he charged towards Enel.
Chapter 154 Joining forces against the enemy"A swordsman from the Blue Sea?" Enel showed a playful smile, not putting Zoro in his eyes.And facing Zoro's attack, he did not dodge."Three-Sword Style: Oni Giri!"Zoro used his frequently employed move, and his three swords instantly passed through Enel.Just after Zoro's attack, Enel lowered his head in surprise, looking at his own body.Then he widened his eyes and muttered to himself, "How is this possible! How can a swordsman hurt me?"A sword wound on Enel's skin was gushing blood.At this moment, Zoro turned his head, looked at Enelwith a smile, and said, "Is this what a god is? He's nothing special."At the same time, he looked at the sword in his hand and continued, "It seems I still don't have the power to truly cut lightning, otherwise that strike just now would have been enough to take his life."Immediately after, Enel's eyes solidified. Zoro's attack just now was due to his carelessness. He had seen through Zoro's movements long ago, but he didn't dodge, because his divine confidence told him that he feared no attack.He just didn't expect this Blue Sea person to possess the power to harm a Natural Devil Fruituser."Who exactly are these people from the Blue Sea? They actually managed to harm Enel with just a sword," Wyper turned his head and asked Gan Fall.Gan Fall shook his head and said, "In the Blue Sea, there is a group of people called pirates. Their ships all fly their own flags. These people are also considered criminals in the Blue Sea, but in this world, whether it's justice or evil, there's always a true standard of judgment. More than twenty years ago, I also encountered such a group of people who came here. That group of people had some similarities to the people we see today.""Pirates?" Wyper muttered to himself.Enel, who had been injured, became enraged and said to Zoro, "You actually injured me, but I'm still going to give you a chance. Will you consider joining me?"And Zoro's answer to him was also the sword in his hand.However, this time Zoro's attack did not easily hit Enel; Enel, possessing Mantra, easily dodged it."Is this your choice?" Enel said."Why so much nonsense? If you want to fight, then fight!" Zoro said, thinking that the god in front of him might have something wrong with his head, asking so many questions for what?At this moment, Arthur, who was nearby, also had an idea.Since Natural Devil Fruits belong to natural power, then the Sage Art Chakra generated by his Cursed Seal is also a natural power. If he uses Sage Art Chakra, he should be able to attack Enel, who possesses a Natural Devil Fruit!No sooner said than done.The next second, a large number of black patterns appeared on Arthur's body, then covered his entire body.Just then, Enel's Mantra suddenly sensed an evil energy attacking him.He subconsciously dodged, but it was already too late. Arthur's fist directly struck his abdomen."Bang!"Arthur's strike used monstrous strength. The monstrous strength, amplified by the Cursed Seal mode, was even stronger than in his normal state.His attack directly sent Enel flying, crashing heavily into a nearby rock.Subsequently, a mouthful of blood spewed from Enel's mouth.Arthur's strike was even more astonishing than Zoro's earlier one. Gan Fall and Wyper, who were nearby, had already dropped their jaws in shock.Was their invincible god so cheap in the hands of the Blue Sea people?He was easily injured twice.Especially Gan Fall, his understanding of Enel was clearer. He had deeply experienced Enel's power. These two Blue Sea people in front of him were actually so strong!Nami, who was hiding, also found this scene unbelievable. Just a moment ago, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper were easily knocked down by Enel, which left a very deep impression on her.How could humans possibly contend with lightning?"Let's go help them too," Robin said to the two people beside her.At this moment, Enel endured the pain and stood up. At this point, he had completely lost his composure from before."You Blue Sea people must have mastered a strange power, a power that can attack Natural Devil Fruitusers. Hahahahaha, but so what? I am a god, and my power is lightning!"After Enel stood up, he showed an arrogant smile, and then the small drums behind him continuously emitted bursts of thunder."Everyone, be careful! Enel is about to attack!" Arthur shouted to everyone, and then countless small snakes appeared from his hand, scattering in all directions.The next moment, a bird-shaped lightning appeared above Enel. Arthur, just by being nearby, felt the powerful, terrifying, and violent electricity."30 Million Volts, Raigo!"The thunderbird behind Enel quickly moved towards everyone. The speed of the lightning was so fast that everyone simply couldn't imagine it.At this moment, Arthur instantly used Earth Style to go underground.Although the underground was covered by clouds, Ninjutsu was still effective, and Arthur instantly entered the clouds.And immediately after, Enel's attack swept over everyone, finally landing on Gan Fall's body.A strong flash of lightning struck, and Gan Fall was instantly enveloped by electricity. A moment later, his body turned charred black.Gan Fall also became the first person to be dealt with by Enel."Did I only hit an old man? Never mind, never mind. Next, I will deal with all of you."As he spoke, the taiko drums behind Enel once again continuously emitted lightning and thunder."We can't let him release any more lightning!" Wyper said to Zoro and Robin.Just then, Enel suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet loosen."Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!"The next second, he was directly pulled into the clouds by Arthur.And Arthur also took the opportunity to climb out from the cloud ground, looking at Enel, whose head was the only part remaining above. Chakra gathered on Arthur's fist."Now, I'll use this punch to finish you off!"With monstrous strength activated, Arthur's fist directly struck Enel's head.Bang!The immense power directly shattered the surrounding cloud-earth, and the surrounding buildings also began to crack."What kind of power is this?" Wyper broke out in a cold sweat, feeling fortunate that he hadn't fought the person in front of him earlier.After this punch, Arthur panted, then came to Zoro's side."Has Enel been defeated?" Zoro asked.Arthur shook his head and said, "I should have hit him, but the moment I hit him, he turned into lightning and escaped."On a nearby building, Enel's figure slowly reassembled."What powerful strength! If I had been fully hit by that strike, even if I didn't die, I would have lost my fighting ability!" Enel muttered to himself, and then he became completely serious.
Chapter 155 The Powerful Enelu"Little girl, your power has been recognized by God. Would you like to accompany me to the legendary Infinite Continent?" Enel stood on the ruins, laughing as he spoke."Tch, who cares about that?" Arthur said.At this moment, he had exited his Cursed Seal state and returned to his normal form.That punch just now was meant to be a killing blow.He didn't expect it to be dodged by elementalization.He was currently recovering his stamina, and he was afraid of losing his sanity, so he didn't dare to fully unleash the power of the Cursed Seal."Arthur, are you okay?" Zoro asked, a little worried.Arthur shook his head."I'm fine, just wasted some stamina, but you all need to be careful. This guy might be going all out next."After all, both Arthur and Zoro had performed well. If Enel still treated them with such a casual attitude, he would surely be defeated."Alright, since you've all decided to defy the will of God, then let me show you the true power of God."As he spoke, lightning continuously appeared from the drums on Enel's back, then slowly rose into the sky."60 million volts, Lightning Dragon!"The lightning continuously condensed, finally forming a giant dragon that coiled in the sky."This..."Everyone fell silent as they looked at the giant dragon coiling in the sky. Such intense lightning was simply beyond human resistance.The Lightning Dragon coiled faster than anyone could imagine. The next moment, the Lightning Dragon charged directly at them."Three-Sword Style: 108 Pound Phoenix!" Zoro was the first to unleash his attack, intending to neutralize Enel's Lightning Dragon."Boom!" Wyper didn't wait either; the cannon on his shoulder fired simultaneously with Zoro's attack."Thirty-Flower Bloom!"Countless arms grew from the ground, blocking the rubble in front of everyone.They all launched a counterattack; facing the powerful Lightning Dragon, they had no other choice.The next second, everyone's attacks collided with Enel's Lightning Dragon. The powerful 60 million volt current directly shattered everyone's attacks.Clearly, without powerful Armament Haki, they were unable to resist this Devil Fruit ability, known as an invincible natural disaster.Zoro saw that everyone's defenses were broken, and he immediately used Armament Haki to defend. In an instant, the Lightning Dragon passed through everyone's bodies.Electricity surged, covering the entire area.After the lightning passed, everyone's bodies, except for Zoro, were charred black."Arthur! Robin!"Zoro shouted.Although he shouted loudly, neither of them responded. Now, besides Zoro, only Nami remained.The lightning just now had even affected the Sky Lord.But Zoro knew that he had used his full defense just now and had no more Haki to use."Damn it, am I still too weak!" Zoro said angrily.Even if he already possessed Haki, what then?He still hadn't defeated the enemy in front of him."Hahahahaha, it seems you've given up, but I can give you another chance. If you join me, I might consider letting you accompany me to the Infinite Continent, after all, your strength has been recognized by God." Enel said to Zoro.60 million volts was something no ordinary person could withstand. The Blue Sea swordsman in front of him must have mastered some special power."Impossible!"Saying that, Zoro once again swung the sword in his hand towards Enel!At this moment, beside Nami, a small snake crawled out from behind her."This is?" Nami looked at the small white snake, suddenly thinking of Arthur.And then, the small snake's mouth continuously widened, and a naked person crawled out of the snake's mouth. Just then, a small snake with clothes in its mouth slowly crawled over."What powerful Devil Fruit abilities, even I'm a little tempted!"This person was Arthur. He was extremely cautious in his actions now. During the battle, he had already spread small snakes around, intending to use a snake substitute to block critical damage.Arthur slowly stood up, then put on the clothes brought by the small snake."Is it appropriate for you to expose your body in front of a girl like that?" Nami said loudly, but then she suddenly thought of something and immediately closed her mouth.Arthur, however, paid no attention to Nami's words. At this moment, a joyful smile was on his face.On the other side, Enel saw Zoro charging over and tilted his head helplessly."Since that's the case, I have no choice but to kill you, then?"Then, Enel lightly tapped a finger, and a powerful electric current appeared.The current spread along the sword in Zoro's hand, then covered his body.After the current passed, Zoro's body was also charred."Why bother, why bother? How good would it be to be my subordinate and go to the Infinite Continent with me? Why do you all have to seek death one by one?" Enel said, rubbing his forehead helplessly.This group of people was much stronger than his previous subordinates. If he gained this help, his journey on the Infinite Continent would be much smoother.Just then, Enel suddenly turned his head, because he noticed someone staring at him from behind."Oh? You weren't knocked down?" Enel said with a smile.The one staring at Enel was Arthur.If the Devil Fruit didn't have obvious drawbacks, Arthur would really want the Devil Fruit on Enel.But he calmed down and thought for a while. Compared to wanting these Devil Fruits, he wanted to know what the principle of Devil Fruits was? Why could they give people such power?"Do you think such an attack could knock me down?" Arthur licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes like a venomous snake, constantly staring at the man in front of him."From your tone, it seems you're still unwilling to submit to me." Enel sat cross-legged in the air, picking his ear as he spoke."Haha, submitting to others, that's not something I would do." Saying that, Arthur no longer hesitated, and the runes of the Cursed Seal quickly spread throughout his body.And then, Arthur's fist arrived in front of Enel."Hehe, although your power is strong, and you can even attack me, do you think you can catch up with the speed of lightning?"Just as Arthur's fist was about to reach Enel's body, Enel turned into lightning, directly dodging Arthur's attack."It is a bit fast, but so what?"Enel then noticed that a large number of pythons suddenly emerged from beneath his feet, trying to engulf him."Zzzzt!"However, these pythons were no obstacle to Enel. Lightning appeared from his feet, and the next second, all the pythons were charred, even emitting the smell of cooked meat."Do you think these petty tricks are useful against me?" Enel said, waving the metal staff in his hand and pointing it at Arthur.
Chapter 156 The Furious Xiao Ling"Indeed, for lightning, the carbon-based lifeform of snakes is very ineffective," Arthur shook his head, acknowledging Enel's words.The thing that restrains a Devil Fruit is seawater, but here they were in the sky.If they were in the Blue Sea, Arthur might have a way to suppress the power of a Devil Fruit, but as it was, the two could only determine superiority through direct combat.And how could the power of lightning be resisted by a living being? Even Arthur had to be extremely careful."Since my last attack didn't finish you, it's not too late for me to send you on your way now." Enelbrandished the weapon in his hand, and lightning erupted from him once more."Discharge, One Hundred Million Volts!"One hundred million volts of electricity was simply unbearable for a human; even ordinary creatures would instantly turn to ash.Arthur quickly retreated a few steps, looking at the lightning in front of him, without the slightest panic.The Sage Art Chakra of his Cursed Seal flowed rapidly within him, then he opened his mouth, and countless small snakes crawled out, forming a biological wall made of small snakes.Then, he lightly leaped into the air, and the next second, the lightning struck, and the biological wall of small snakes instantly absorbed the lightning and turned to ash.Arthur watched all of this from behind, completely ignoring the constant wailing of the small snakes."What powerful strength! The power of a Natural Devil Fruit is truly incredible, but based on my observations, people in this world can become strong enough to overcome nature through training."And just as Arthur was muttering to himself, Enelinstantly appeared behind him."Getting distracted while fighting a god will lead to a very miserable death." Lightning appeared in Enel's hand once again.The lightning shot out, instantly reaching Arthur's body."Ah!!!"A powerful electric shock assailed him, and Arthurlet out a pained cry, but slowly, Enel noticed the cry was changing.The originally pained cry gradually turned into excitement.The next second, Arthur's body began to change rapidly; the Cursed Seal actually turned from black to white, and then, a large amount of scales appeared on his body, and his original hands transformed into claws."Is he a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? But if he's a Zoan-type, how can he contend with a Natural-type?" Enel muttered to himself.And as the scales continuously appeared, Arthur's body kept transforming.This was the power of the Cursed Seal, and the Cursed Seal improved by the system was different from the original; both the original Cursed Seal and the system-enhanced Cursed Seal would transform the user into a monstrous appearance in their second stage.However, the monstrous form of the improved Cursed Seal was snake-like.In fact, what Arthur didn't know was that the improved and enhanced Cursed Seal could be controlled through willpower; if the control and training methods were correct, one could achieve the most perfect Sage Body.This time, Arthur fully unleashed the second stage of the Cursed Seal; he hadn't fully unleashed the power of the second stage when he was in the Alabasta Kingdom.And then, Arthur's feet slowly wriggled, their form gradually changing, his original feet actually transforming into the shape of a snake's tail.His entire body was covered in scales, and the lightning slowly receded, though the reason for its recession was unknown, whether it dissipated naturally or was absorbed by Arthur's scales.Nami, observing the battle from a distance, was somewhat panicked by Arthur's current form."This guy didn't eat a Devil Fruit, so why did he turn into this?" Nami murmured to herself.At this point, Arthur had stopped changing; his Cursed Seal's second form was fully activated.White snake scales covered his entire body, and the scales were covered with milky-white runes; Arthur's face hadn't changed much, only a few patterns appeared on his beautiful face, but the biggest changes were his hair and legs.His hair grew very long and turned completely snow-white, and each strand of hair seemed to be alive, constantly swaying.His legs had degenerated into a white snake's tail, and the scales on the tail looked even more solid, crystal clear.Arthur licked the corner of his mouth; at this moment, his tongue was no longer a human tongue, but a snake's tongue."Is it the Human-Beast form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit? How interesting, but even so, can you contend with lightning?" Enel looked at Arthur's current form, revealing an arrogant smile.Arthur's expression was cold, his eyes slightly narrowed, as he coldly stared at Enel in front of him, without speaking.Nami, beside them, covered her mouth, looking at Arthur in horror, because at this moment, Arthurseemed to be a different person from the one she knew."Lightning? What a fascinating power!" Arthur's voice became hoarse, and his snow-white hair, following his voice, launched an attack towards Enel.His hair continuously lengthened, and just as it was about to strike Enel, the tips of the hair suddenly transformed into snow-white venomous snakes, opening their mouths."Discharge 30 Million Volts!"Enel's Mantra had already detected Arthur's movements, and he immediately prepared his defenses.The current spread along Arthur's long hair to his body.But for some unknown reason, the power of the lightning only made his scales more transparent.And the next second, Arthur opened his mouth, and the kusanagi sword extended from his mouth, directly striking Enel's heart.Enel quickly dodged, but because the kusanagi sword was too fast, he couldn't completely avoid it.Sage Art Chakra covered the kusanagi sword, successfully piercing Enel's shoulder."Pfft!"Blood gushed from his shoulder, and Enel's expression became terrifying."Damn it, you actually hurt me!"Facing the fully enraged Enel, Arthur merely licked the corner of his mouth, his gaze still unchanged; at this moment, he seemed to have no emotions."What interesting power, such power is truly captivating," Arthur muttered to himself, and a chilling aura still emanated from his body.Enel quickly retreated several steps; at this point, his composed expression was completely gone, his face twisted with anger."You ants, to treat this god like this, then let me show you the true power of a god."As he spoke, the electricity on Enel's body continuously increased.Violent currents began to converge.Of course, Arthur wouldn't let him unleash his ultimate move, but just as he was about to attack, the powerful current made it impossible for his body to get close."To what terrifying extent has the electricity reached now?" Arthur's hoarse voice sounded.Now, in his eyes, besides coldness, there was also a hint of fanaticism, a fanaticism for power.He absolutely loved Enel's power."Two Hundred Million Volts, Lightning God!"
Chapter 157 Luffy's AppearanceViolent lightning formed a colossal figure, a pale blue giant that completely enveloped Enel. At this moment, Enel had transformed into a Thunder God and appeared before Arthur."Foolish Blue-Seas dweller, today I shall make you vanish completely from this world!" Enel roared.The lightning giant began to swing its fist and charged towards Arthur.Facing the lightning giant's attack, Arthur's arm transformed into a python, the same size as Enel's Thunder God-like arm.The python, covered in immense Sage Art Chakra, lunged and bit at Enel's Thunder God.The next second, the Thunder God's fist and the giant python made contact.A powerful electric current directly enveloped the python's head.The two continuously clashed, and thanks to the Sage Art Chakra, the lightning did not pass through the python to Arthur's body.For a time, the two were evenly matched, and just then, Arthur's mouth opened and the kusanagi sword once again rushed towards Enel.However, Enel had already placed his opponent on an equal footing, and he did not show the slightest contempt for him.He believed, however, that the Thunder God's body would help him block the kusanagi sword, so his other hand pointed towards the sky."Discharge, 200 Million Volts MAX!"Boom!Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and a powerful bolt of lightning descended from above.The next moment, the kusanagi sword pierced through the Thunder God's massive body, and the lightning from the sky completely enveloped Arthur.Nami, who was very far away, was also affected, as the entire area had been completely consumed by lightning.Even from such a distance, she felt a chill down her spine."Is this a battle humans should be capable of?" Nami dodged continuously, muttering to herself as lightning formed in the air.At this moment, she was even more worried about Arthur, who was covered by the lightning.However, at this point, the surrounding air was so permeated with lightning that it was impossible to see what was happening ahead.After a while, the lightning slowly dissipated between heaven and earth.Nami finally saw what was happening ahead.Ahead, Enel was kneeling on the ground, blood continuously flowing from his abdomen, and he was gasping for air.On the other side, Arthur had returned to his human form, his body scorched black by the lightning, lying on the ground, unconscious."Hahahaha, it's been so long, I haven't encountered such a powerful human, but so what? Didn't he still fall to this god's hands?"Enel slowly stood up and said with a laugh.Although things happened differently from what he expected, the outcome was the same.All these guys who challenged God were defeated by God.Enel ignored the blood flowing from his abdomen and slowly walked over to Arthur, who was sprawled on the ground."You are strong, strong enough to make even God feel troublesome, but so what? Now, let me end your life."As he spoke, lightning continuously gathered in Enel's hand, then condensed into a long spear.He swung it down with one hand, and just as the spear was about to pierce Arthur's body, a voice came from a distance."Gum-Gum Rocket!"Upon hearing this voice, Nami, who had been in despair, actually relaxed."That guy Luffy is finally here!"Ultimately, Enel's lightning spear did not pierce Arthur's body, but was directly sent flying by Luffy."How dare you hurt my comrades!"Luffy looked at the fallen people on the ground, his eyes filled with anger.Enel, who was already injured, spat out a mouthful of blood after being hit by Luffy's attack.His eyes were now bloodshot.He simply couldn't understand why these Blue-Seas dwellers could all hurt him.Wasn't he invincible?In this world, wasn't lightning the invincible power?Why was this happening?These damned mortals!"Why? Why is this happening?" Enel's expression became distorted.At this moment, Luffy gathered his comrades together, then clenched his fists and looked at the so-called god, Enel."I don't care what kind of god you are, you hurt my comrades, and now I'm going to send you flying!"Luffy looked up and noticed Nami nearby, then he handed his Straw Hat to Nami, to prevent it from being damaged in the upcoming battle."Hahahaha, don't be ridiculous, mortals!" Enelshouted loudly.Then, a large amount of lightning condensed behind him."Discharge, 200 Million Volts!"Because of the previous lesson, Enel unleashed his ultimate move from the start, hoping to defeat Luffyin one blow.He just didn't expect that he, a Devil Fruit user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, would encounter his lifelong enemy, a Gum-Gum Fruit user.Lightning quickly passed through Luffy's body, enveloping him.Luffy scratched his head within the lightning."What's going on? How did he release this glowing skill?" Luffy muttered to himself, his body feeling no pain at all.After the lightning dissipated, Luffy stood perfectly unharmed in front of Enel."How is that possible? How is this possible? Why are you completely fine?" Enel asked in surprise.Even the Blue-Seas dweller who played with snakes just now couldn't stop his attack.So why could this person in front of him completely ignore his attacks?"How could this be?" Enel took a few steps back. For some reason, he now had a new understanding of the Blue-Seas dwellers.These guys were all monsters.Meanwhile, Nami noticed something."Luffy is a Gum-Gum Fruit user, and Gomu Gomudoesn't conduct electricity, so Enel can't hurt Luffy." Thinking this, Nami breathed a sigh of relief.Luffy's appearance might now completely defeat Enel."What are you doing? Performing acrobatics?"Upon realizing his attacks were ineffective, Enelreleased a few more bolts of lightning, but each bolt was just a light show to Luffy."You Blue-Seas dweller, what do you know!" Enel's expression turned angry.And just then, Luffy directly rushed in front of Enel."I know you hurt my comrades!"Bang!This punch landed heavily on Enel, sending him flying.Enel already had wounds from Arthur and Zoro, and after this attack from Luffy, his injuries became even more severe."Pfft!"A mouthful of blood gushed from Enel's mouth. After these few battles, he had sustained very serious injuries, and his Devil Fruit ability was already nearing its limit.But how could Luffy let him off so easily?In the brief moment Enel was injured, Luffy's fists didn't stop, and another punch landed on Enel's body."Gum-Gum Gatling!"The Gum-Gum Fruit completely countered the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Moreover, Enel was already severely wounded at this point. Luffy's attacks were solid punches, raining down on Enel like water.As a god, he had never considered running away, but at this moment, he had the intention to flee, but it was too late.Luffy's fists continuously strengthened, and wounds constantly appeared on Enel's body.Just then, Luffy's leg extended continuously, almost reaching the unobservable sky."Gum-Gum Axe!"Bang
Chapter 158: Burial of Enel at SeaWith Luffy's loud shout, Enel was struck hard by this attack.Under the immense power, Enel fainted.This battle was finally brought to an end by Luffy.Although there was a suspicion of him stealing the kill, if Luffy hadn't appeared, the outcome of their battle would still be unknown.A day later, all members of the Straw Hat Crewwho were injured by Enel woke up, except for Arthur, of course."How is Arthur doing now?"In a room on the Going Merry, Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and asked Chopper."His condition is very peculiar. A strange energy has entered his body, and his body is particularly repulsed by this energy, so his internal system is in chaos. This is one of the reasons why he is unconscious.""Coupled with the interference of high-voltage electricity, it will take at least some time for him to wake up," Chopper said with a sigh."Since there's no danger to his life, then it should be fine," Sanji nodded in relief.He then walked out of the room. At this point, Skypiea had already lost Enel's oppression, and Gan Fall once again returned to the position of God.And after this joint battle, the Shandia and the original inhabitants of Skypiea reconciled.Enel, who caused all this chaos, was currently bound within a cage made of special metal.To be safe, he was wearing handcuffs made of sea stone.These sea stones were provided by the Shandia.sea stone is not only strong but also has the effect of suppressing Devil Fruit users, which is why they were able to imprison Enel."Is what you said true? Can we really take these gold as we please?" Nami asked Gan Fall.Gan Fall nodded."Gold is useless to us on Skypiea, so you can take as much as you like."Looking at so much gold, Nami showed an excited smile. At this moment, she reached into her chest, and then a small white snake appeared from Nami's chest."Xiaobai, you know what to do next, right?"Xiaobai shivered and nodded. Just this morning, Nami had threatened it for a long time.Because Arthur was unconscious, Xiaobai couldn't follow Arthur's instructions, and eventually, under pressure, it decided to listen to Nami.At this moment, a huge white python suddenly appeared next to the large amount of gold, and the python continuously grew larger, quickly covering the entire area of gold."So, Arthur's little white snake can become so big?" Nami said, looking at Xiaobai, who was now so tall that its head was out of sight.And the next second, the white python opened its gaping maw.All the gold entered its mouth."Take more, take more, it's best to take it all!" Namishouted loudly from below.At this moment, her eyes had truly turned into the shape of Berries.This much money was enough to make her a true rich woman.Eventually, only a few significant pieces of gold remained in Skypiea, and all the rest of the gold was taken into Xiaobai's mouth.The gold had been found, Enel had been defeated. Although Arthur hadn't woken up, the Straw Hat Pirates' purpose on Skypiea was fulfilled.When Nami returned to the Going Merry, she saw everyone already packing their things."Has everyone decided to depart?" Nami asked."Yes, now that we've been to Skypiea, we're going back to the Grand Line to continue our journey," Luffy said with a smile.Just then, Gan Fall, as God, rode his flying horse to them."Warriors of the Blue Sea, are you leaving?"Everyone nodded.Gan Fall then thought of something and said, "Because Enel committed sins on Skypiea, and after the unanimous decision of everyone on Skypiea, we will now throw him into the Blue Sea.""Throw him into the Blue Sea?" Nami said in surprise.One must know that there is a height of ten thousand meters from the ground here. Because the sea is the bane of Devil Fruit users, someone without the enhancement of a Devil Fruit being thrown from ten thousand meters high would surely die!Moreover, below was the sea, which is the nemesis of Devil Fruit users."Well, if he can survive, it means Heaven doesn't want him to die yet. If he dies, it can be considered atonement for his deeds."Everyone fell silent.In their eyes, falling from ten thousand meters high was impossible to survive."How to deal with Enel is up to you, old man. We plan to continue our journey and won't stay on Skypiea any longer," Luffy said with a smile."Alright, warriors of the Blue Sea, thank you for what you have done for us. Now, let me see you off," Gan Fall said.Everyone did not refuse. Moreover, falling from ten thousand meters high was something they could not do at all.They would still need Skypiea's support next.After Nami inquired, to leave Skypiea, they must use the local specialty, the Balloon Octopus.Amidst the farewells of the people of Skypiea, the Going Merry slowly moved forward, and in front of the Going Merry was the imprisoned Enel.Enel had already woken up at this point. He knew he had been defeated, but in his heart, his dream would not be shattered."Straw Hat Kid, I didn't expect that I would eventually be defeated by you Blue Sea people." At this moment, Enel was not disheartened but rather smiled."You're about to be buried at sea. Aren't you afraid?" Usopp said, looking at Enel in front of him.Upon hearing Usopp's words, Enel just smiled and said, "I am God, arranged by Heaven. How could I die so easily?""This guy is hopeless!" Nami said, rubbing her forehead.They slowly approached the edge of Skypiea, and under the gaze of everyone on Skypiea, Enel was the first to be thrown out of Skypiea.Because there was no cushioning and with that sturdy cage, if nothing unexpected happened, Enelwould surely die in the sea or from the fall.Subsequently, an octopus appeared on the Going Merry, and the Going Merry, along with Enel, plunged from the edge of Skypiea into the Blue Sea."Ah!!!!"The speed of falling into the Blue Sea was unimaginably fast. The members of the Straw Hat Pirates clung tightly to the Going Merry to prevent themselves from being thrown from the ship.Just as everyone saw the sea surface, a giant inflated octopus suddenly appeared above them.This was the Balloon Octopus used to cushion the speed of their ship's descent.The octopus tightly enveloped the Going Merry, and their downward speed continuously decreased."Saved, saved, saved," Usopp said to everyone, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.At this moment, everyone didn't notice that the Balloon Octopus, due to the wind direction, began to drift to the side.And the direction they were drifting towards was a Marine base.The protagonist needs to be unconscious for a period, so this part of the plot where he's unconscious will be skipped to speed up the progress, as the upcoming plot is quite drawn out and not very relevant to the major event.If all events were written, it would be too verbose.(I think Enel is a character who is a 'plot kill' level. If it weren't for Luffy's cheat, he would probably be invincible in the first half of the Grand Line, and even a big-shot level powerhouse in the second half.)(Do you think Enel will die?)
Chapter 159 Xiao Ling wakes upA stretch of darkness.At this moment, Arthur seemed to be standing in a void. He looked around, and there was nothing."Where am I?"Arthur looked at his hands, and then, to his surprise, he didn't feel the presence of his hands."What exactly is going on? Am I already dead?" Arthur muttered to himself.Just then, he felt a wave of pain throughout his body, and this pain was unbearable.The next moment, Arthur suddenly opened his eyes."This is... on the Going Merry... My head hurts so much... What exactly happened?"At this moment, in Arthur's memory, he only remembered his fight with Enel, and then he forgot what happened afterward."Arthur, you're awake!"At this, Chopper, who was nearby, noticed Arthurwaking up and said excitedly.Arthur slowly sat up. As he woke up, the surging pain quickly disappeared."Chopper, where are we?" Arthur asked."You've been unconscious for two weeks. We are now on the Grand Line," Chopper told Arthur.Two weeks?Had I been unconscious for so long?Arthur sighed."A lot has happened in these two weeks, but it's all over now. Our ship is sailing steadily," Choppercontinued."What happened?" Arthur was also a little curious. After all, it seemed they should have returned from Skypiea long ago. He had been unconscious all this time, so he had no idea what had transpired.Chopper nodded, placed a cup of water in Arthur's hand, and then said, "After the battle, we only stayed on Skypiea for one day before returning to the Grand Line.""When we fell, we landed right in a Marine base, and we all went to great lengths to escape the Marine base. You were even captured by the Marines in between, but you probably didn't know because you were unconscious."I was captured?It seems many strange things happened while I was unconscious."And after we escaped from the Marine base, we sailed to Long Ring Long Land. There we encountered the Foxy Pirate Crew, and that guy Luffy almost lost all of us to them." Saying this, Chopper sighed."However, through everyone's efforts, we won all our companions back, and now we have left Long Ring Long Land and are sailing on the Grand Line."Arthur nodded upon hearing this news.At this moment, Arthur felt that his body had recovered and prepared to get up and walk around outside.Seeing Arthur get up, Chopper immediately said, "Arthur, your mental state is very unstable right now. It's best to rest a little longer."Thinking of this, Chopper lowered his head and asked, "While you were unconscious, your body recovered, but you were slow to wake up. I speculate that there's a problem with your mental state.""I suggest you don't participate in battles recently. For some reason, your mental state during battle is completely different from normal. This state is very likely to affect your current mental illness. It's all my fault that I still don't have a way to treat your mental illness."At this point, Chopper lowered his head.At this moment, Arthur had completely stood up. He placed his hand on Chopper's head and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all this time, Chopper.""You've always been the best doctor, haven't you?"After saying this, Arthur walked past Chopper and headed out the door.After Arthur left, a deeply moved Chopper kept shedding tears."I will definitely be the best doctor!!!"As soon as Arthur stepped out of the room, the Straw Hat Pirates noticed him."Arthur, you're awake! Is your body alright?" Sanjiwas the first to speak, which Arthur hadn't expected. Shouldn't he be in the kitchen at this time?"Yes, my body is fine. Thank you all for your concern."Zoro, who was training nearby, smiled at Arthur.Just then, Arthur suddenly felt a sense of danger. Luffy's arm stretched out, instantly grabbing his shoulder, and then he flew towards him.Bang!!Then Arthur was directly pressed to the ground by Luffy."Arthur, you're awake! I knew you wouldn't die, hahahahaha!!""..."Is it really appropriate to receive this kind of treatment after waking up?Arthur felt the pain in his head."Hey, Luffy, Arthur just woke up. Let him rest quietly for a while!"Finally, Arthur's savior arrived. Nami appeared and immediately dragged Luffy away.Seeing Luffy being dragged away, Arthur slowly stood up and shouted to Nami, "Quickly drag this guy away!!"That guy Luffy is too dangerous.Nami said, "Arthur, is your body okay now?"Arthur shook his head and said, "My body has fully recovered now, don't worry."Hearing this news, Luffy, who was being dragged on the ground by Nami, stood up and laughed, "Sanji, go prepare food! Now that Arthur is awake, let's have a feast!""Alright!!"Usopp was the first to speak from below.The sky gradually darkened, and the Straw Hat Pirates' feast was in full swing.Arthur didn't drink alcohol; he just ate a lot of things, as he hadn't eaten for two weeks.After eating, Arthur's mental state had fully recovered. And because he had slept for two weeks, he was full of energy, so he decided to take on the night watch."Arthur, are you really okay? After all, you just woke up," Nami said worriedly.Arthur shook his head."I've slept for two weeks. If I sleep any longer, I feel like I'll become a vegetable, so I've decided to relax and recover my body tonight."The feast was over. Arthur stretched.He was indeed not sleepy now. The moon had already hung in the sky.Arthur waved to everyone, urging them to go rest.Then, he leaped and jumped onto the crow's nest next to the sail.Seeing that Arthur had made up his mind, everyone stopped trying to dissuade him and entered their rooms to rest.The night on the Going Merry was very quiet, with only the sound of snoring coming from the boys' dormitory.And now, Robin, who had the habit of reading late into the night, was also awake.Seeing that the atmosphere had quieted down, Arthur came onto the deck and slowly sat cross-legged.He had already learned from Nami about his battle with Enel.His state at that time was indeed somewhat terrifying."Is there no way for the System to solve this problem?" Arthur asked.The System is only responsible for giving you power. Whether you can control it or not depends on you."Trash System!"Arthur sighed, then thought of the meditation method Zoro had taught him.At this, Arthur slowly sat cross-legged, his mind gradually emptying, entering a state of meditation.For some reason, the quietness of the night made it very easy for him to meditate.At this moment, Arthur didn't notice the strange sounds coming from the sea.
Chapter 160 Mass amnesia?The sun was just rising. Arthur held the newspaper the News Bird had given him, along with the wanted posters of three members of the Straw Hat Pirates."An 80 million Berry bounty? The Marines really think highly of me!" Arthur sighed helplessly. Had his bounty really reached such a high amount already?However, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, his current strength was enough to contend with an average Marine.It was already dawn. Arthur stretched, then walked towards the cabin.Inside the cabin, it was very lively. Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro were all wide-eyed, staring at each other.Creak.The cabin door opened, and Arthur slowly walked in.The one who greeted Arthur was none other than Sanji."Ah, love! Ah, the sea! Beautiful lady, it is an honor to meet you. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."As he spoke, a flower was placed in front of Arthur.?What's going on?Has Sanji developed a fondness for men?"Sanji, what are you trying to do?"He said, taking a step back."Lady, you even know my name! You truly have been paying attention to me!" Sanji continued, undeterred.???"We are companions. Shouldn't I know your name?" Arthur helplessly walked around Sanji and went inside.Then, under everyone's gaze, Arthur slammed three wanted posters onto the table."Luffy, Zoro, our wanted posters are out."Seeing the wanted posters, Usopp, who was sitting, retreated a few steps."Usopp, do you really need to react so strongly? You should have known already."Arthur shook his head at Usopp.A single wanted poster could scare him this much?"Of course! How could I, Captain Usopp, not know the bounties of my crew members!" Usopp said, patting his chest when he saw the situation.What the hell? Why am I on a Pirate Crew, and this crew even has three pirates with such high bounties?"Ah, this is my wanted poster! It's actually 100 million Berry!" Luffy said, scratching his head while holding the wanted poster.At this moment, Zoro snatched his wanted poster."What's going on? When did I become a wanted criminal? And 60 million Berry?" Zoro muttered to himself.Then, he looked up at Arthur and said, "How do you know my name?"At this moment, Arthur noticed something amiss.Then, he stroked his chin and said, "Are you playing some amnesia game? Or did you all agree yesterday to play a prank on me?"After Arthur finished speaking, everyone fell silent.Before Arthur arrived, everyone had been discussing for a long time; they also didn't know why they were on this ship.Then Sanji took a puff from his cigarette and said, "Beautiful lady, we are not playing any amnesia game. I was clearly working at Baratie and went to sleep. Why am I here? And where is here?"Arthur was slightly stunned.He knew Sanji would definitely not deceive him.Could they have lost their memories?"We are on a Pirate Crew, and the Pirate Crew is sailing on the Grand Line.""Grand Line!" everyone shouted simultaneously.Then Usopp suddenly stood up and said, "That's right, I am the captain of this ship, Captain Usopp, and you are my crew members. I have 80 million subordinates!""80 million, how amazing!" Luffy's eyes gleamed with gold."You're lying, right?" Sanji took a puff from his cigarette and then looked at Arthur."What exactly is going on? Please, lady, explain it clearly."Arthur looked at the amnesiac Usopp with some helplessness, so he said to everyone, "Everyone, follow me!"Then Arthur led everyone to the deck, where Namiand Robin were also present."You haven't lost your memories too, have you?" Arthur asked helplessly.Robin shook her head and said, "I haven't lost my memory, but it looks like the Navigator has!"At this moment, Arthur called out to Nami, "That's perfect, you come over too and listen to our story. See if you can remember anything?"Nami unconsciously took a step back when she heard Arthur's words, but then seeing Arthur's harmless appearance, she finally decided to listen.After everyone had come over, Arthur spoke, "Although I don't know why everyone lost their memories, I can explain why we are here."Arthur pulled Luffy over and then pointed to the pirate flag."This is a Pirate Crew, and this guy is our Captain. Nami, you are the Navigator of our ship. Zoro, you are the Swordsman on our ship. Sanji, you are the Cook of our ship. Usopp, you are the Sniper of our ship. And I am the Vice Captain of our Straw Hat Pirates. Miss Robin just joined our Pirate Crew; she is an archaeologist and a very reliable companion."Zoro and Sanji were pensive. Although it was somewhat unbelievable, seeing the wanted posters and the pirate flag, they had to believe it.But then Nami said, "How could I be with pirates? I hate pirates the most!"At this moment, Arthur shook his head and continued, "Nami, you do hate pirates the most, but now Cocoyasi Village has been liberated. Our Captain Luffy helped you defeat Arlong and rescued your village. So later, to achieve your dream, you joined our Pirate Crew and became our Navigator."At this moment, Nami also fell silent.Had Cocoyasi Village really been liberated?Her dream, the dream of drawing a world map?"If you still don't believe it, there should be your notes in your room."To be safe, Arthur turned his head again to Zoro and said, "Zoro, we were the first to meet on this ship, and your purpose in joining the Pirate Crew was also to fulfill your dream, the dream of surpassing Mihawk and becoming the world's greatest swordsman.""World's greatest swordsman?" Zoro's eyes were serious. He looked at the three swords at his waist. These three swords were all excellent swords, and he was very familiar with them, but he had no memory. This indicated that he had indeed lost his memory.And seeing the wanted posters and Arthur's explanation, he chose to believe Arthur's words."Sanji, you are a rational person. Although you are a bit lecherous, you should also be able to feel the traces of your life on this ship."Sanji nodded.At this moment, behind the sail, Chopper was listening to Arthur's narration, feeling somewhat incredulous.I'm on a Pirate Crew!And the other party is a ferocious pirate!Why is this happening? What exactly happened?
