The thunderous roar of the sky echoed across the ruins of Upper Yard as Enel raised his golden staff, his face twisted in divine fury. High above, the dark storm clouds twisted into a swirling vortex of blue-white electrical energy, radiating heat so intense that the surrounding air vibrated.
"You insolent mortals believe your tricks can challenge a deity?" Enel's voice boomed, carried by the crackle of lightning. "I am God! And this land will return to the soil from whence it came!"
Below, Luffy stood with his fist clutched, rubber body tensed, while the rest of the Straw Hats readied themselves for the inevitable impact. But before the divine strike could descend, the protagonist stepped forward, pulling the glowing stylus from the system interface. The air around the ink bottle rippled with dense spiritual energy.
"A god?" the protagonist muttered, dipping the pen into the radiant system ink. "Then let's see how your lightning holds up against a drawn reality."
With a swift, fluid motion, the brush swept across the air, carving massive, black strokes directly into the atmosphere. The system panel hummed aggressively, consuming spiritual energy at a staggering rate as the drawn lines materialized into physical stone and metallic runes. A monumental barrier, inscribed with ancient mythical sealing scripts, unfolded above the crew like a giant umbrella made of solidified ink and haki-infused energy.
Enel sneered, bringing his staff down. "El Thor!"
A pillar of pure, white lightning smashed into the newly formed barrier. The impact created a shockwave that shattered the cloud ground surrounding them, sending gusts of wind howling across the ruins. For a solid ten seconds, the blinding light consumed everything, turning the sky as bright as noon.
When the dust settled and the light faded, Enel's eyes widened in disbelief. The ink barrier remained standing, absorbing the electrical current and dispersing it harmlessly into the sky through the painted runes.
"Impossible..." Enel growled, his golden drums rattling as his temper flared higher. "No mortal material can withstand divine lightning!"
"It's not just material," the protagonist replied, stepping through the fading smoke as the system interface flashed a green light, confirming the successful defense and unlocking the next stage of the drawing skill. "It's the power of the story. And in this story, your reign ends here."
Luffy grinned, cracking his knuckles as he stepped beside the protagonist. "Nice one! Now, let's go punch that lightning guy off his high horse!"
