As soon as the piece of land reached the center of the High Court, where Enel was, they heard the sound of drums.
A flash of lightning suddenly transformed into a blue-white electric dragon flying in the sky, heading towards several people on the land.
"Thunder Dragon!"
Rayleigh slashed his sword downwards, and his weapon immediately struck the Thunder Dragon. The sword glowed with a faint electric light, making his hand go slightly numb.
Rayleigh shivered.
"He's a monster! He even smashed my Thunder Dragon with a sword! How?! Isn't his sword metal? And this woman is just standing there eating my favorite apples right before my eyes?!"
Enel's eyes widened; he couldn't comprehend what was happening. Rayleigh and Fujitora jumped down, while Ezekiel and Nami remained on the floating rock.
"Let's place bets on how long this god can hold out," said Nami, eating an apple she had somehow acquired.
Ezekiel said nothing, focusing instead on Fujitora, who had already aimed his Gravity Sword towards Enel.
In actuality, Enel is not weak. When it comes to fruit ability, he is even on par with an Admiral. He is only lacking in other aspects of Haki, which is a more serious issue.
The Thunder Fruit is one of the fruits that Ezekiel wanted the most. This fruit, one might say, is the mother of industry in this world. Not only because it can manipulate and produce electricity, but more importantly, it can be used in metallurgy! Generate a lot of electricity to melt metal and shape it as desired! This ability is demonstrated by Enel in the original book.
It is entirely possible that with such freedom to shape metal as desired, the Academy of Sciences could quickly establish an industrial system comparable to Earth's.
The Thunder Fruit, when used correctly, is at least comparable to half of Vegapunk's utility.
Boom!
Rayleigh deflected another lightning strike with his sword and punched Enel directly in the face with his left fist.
"It's useless, you can't hit me!" Enel said with a smirk.
Smack!
In the next moment, Rayleigh's fist darkened and fiercely struck Enel in the face, distorting it. Bright red blood gushed from his mouth and nose as his body spun several times in the air before hitting the ground. He was pinned to the ground by Fujitora's terrifying Gravity Sword, causing cracks to appear on the ground.
"Gravity blade," Fujitora said slowly.
"Damn!" Enel's face was marked with bulging blue veins. Why could these guys attack him? It was impossible!
"Electric discharge of 200 million volts!"
Countless lightning bolts erupted from his body, gathering on its surface, transforming Enel into a massive god of thunder. He suddenly stood against the Gravity Sword, with terrifying lightning distorting the gravity.
"He is indeed strong, like a monster," Rayleigh said quietly.
The blade turned black and struck toward Enel, but he raised his fist. He was sure that his 200 million volts fist could destroy everything, but this time he lost.
Boom!
Faced with two strong opponents at the Admiral level of Armament Haki, it becomes clear how pitiful Logia users can be.
Initially, Enel managed to dodge by relying on his powerful Mantra ability, but resisting was becoming harder and harder.
"Is this guy really that strong?" Nami was somewhat surprised.
This was an extremely powerful Logia with super-destructive lightning, and if Enel developed the power of his fruit, it would be enough to destroy the island.
"Who is that?"
On the island, a group of people emerged from the deep jungles, arguing with a strange man flying on a pegasus.
"Huh?" Nami looked somewhat puzzled into the distance. "What do they want?"
"People want to see this land!"
The old man smiled, showing no aggression.
"Wyper, I've had enough! Enough with the war!" - A strange old man on a pegasus slowly descended to the ground, breathing heavily, wanting to stop the fight.
The man named Wyper, with tattoos on his left shoulder and left side of his face, and a bare torso, said:
If you think the fight is pointless, then return to us what belongs to us, it is the will of our ancestors!
A furious crowd supported him.
Gan Fall sighed, looking at the Shandians.
Returning everything to you is impossible, because part of the earthly island of Jaya has become an inseparable part of the sky and the Upper Yard, nothing can be done, and no one is to blame for this.
Enormous anger burst from Wyper's heart. He clenched his trembling hands into fists, his nails digging into his flesh, and bright red blood trickled down his fingers, his face completely contorted.
Gan Fall! No one is to blame?! You just want to erase past crimes!
Four hundred years ago, the Shandian people, along with the island, were lifted from the Grand Line by the Knock Up Stream to this place called Sky Island. Due to the appearance of soil, which exists nowhere else on Sky Island, the Shandians were expelled from their home. Since then, the Skypieans have waged a four-hundred-year war with the Shandians.
This land... should belong to the Shandians. This is an indisputable fact, but the reason for the war is not so simple...
As the former leader of Sky Island, Gan Fall does not wish to continue the war. Therefore, he has negotiated with Wyper many times. He believes it was a mistake made by people four hundred years ago. But it's impossible to return the Island of God to the Shandians, in whom the residents of Sky Island believe.
Ezekiel explained all the intricacies to Nami, and she suddenly became angry:
These people are robbers! They stole what belongs to others!
Ezekiel smiled, looking at Nami, who was so genuinely outraged by the theft.
But the Shandians actually don't want the land for themselves, - he added, and Nami didn't understand him.
There is something valuable there, and four hundred years ago they promised to protect it!
Wyper, Gan Fall, and the others watched these two people who suddenly fell from the sky. Could they be new invaders?
