Chapter 62 - Episode 168 & 169
Moving onto episode 168's opening, recap, and title, the class could see Zoro getting lost in the forest. Luffy thought that he has such a horrible sense of direction, though Chopper could tell he's going in the wrong direction as well.
"These numbskulls." Jiro groaned, shaking her head.
Robin asked Chopper to tell them to go south. Once they headed in the same direction, Chopper thought Luffy has a nice stick, which the captain won't give him one. Zoro was just confuse on why they're talking about sticks.
"Are we really talking about this?" Katsuki complained, looking bored at the calm atmosphere.
Chopper felt reassured with the others around, though Zoro thought this was a let down as they haven't run into a simple priest. Robin thought it was strange that he wants an accident to happen.
Cue the big moving 'root.'
"Oh, now you have to deal with a giant snake!" Sero exclaimed.
"You just have to jinx it, Zoro?" Denki said.
"He asked for a priest, not a snake." Ochako corrected him.
"Still, he was asking for trouble."
Chopper tried to ignore it, believing that they'll laugh at him for being afraid.
"No, tell them now!" Toru ordered.
"You'll be in big trouble if you guys ended up eaten." Mina said.
"Besides, I doubt that they'll make fun of you." Kirishima reassured.
Later on, Robin sensed something strange, as Zoro asked Chopper why he keeps looking behind him. The young reindeer tried to pass it off, but Luffy noticed the big 'roots' with a weird pattern... which is actually a giant snake.
"We told you! We told you!" Toru cried out.
With the Going Merry, Usopp was having a good time, though he can't order Nami around.
With the Milky Road's intense ups and downs, they have to rely on the Crow's power.
"At least you're doing something, Tokoyami." Denki sighed.
"Just because Bakugo is going to make fun of your quirk doesn't mean you can make fun of me." Tokoyami scoffed, causing Denki to let out a disappointed groan.
Usopp tried to make Sanji his guard, but the cook told him to quit it, especially since he's here to protect Nami.
Soon, Nami realized that it's time for the Weird Knight's medicine, wondering where it is. Gan reminded them of his actual name, as Sanji directed her to the medicine's location. Usopp complimented Gan on his recovery, seeing that Chopper and Gan are now even.
For a moment, Gan gone silent til he asked if he could talk about the land's history.
Students lend forward, eager to learn.
When Gan told him that he was God six years ago, Usopp asked if he hit his head, leading Pierre to bite his.
A couple of students snorted at the bit.
Anyway, the former God recounted that Upper Yard appeared in Skypiea some 400 years ago. Until then, Skypiea had been a peaceful sky island, and occasionally items from the Blue Sea rode up the Knock Up Stream to appear onshore, being considered as rare valuables to the sky people. This includes vearth, but Upper Yard was an unimaginable miracle.
"I mean, I wouldn't believe it too if you told me that a giant island flown up into the sky." Jiro said.
Of course, the sky people were overjoyed and worshipped it as holy ground. However, indigenous people lived on the vearth, and a battle over its ownership began.
Those people are the Shandians, people who were sent into the sky against their will.
"But it was their's to begin with. Why did the Shandians have to get kicked out?" Jiro said with a bit more bitterness in her voice.
Hearing this definitely soured the mood, especially remembering how nice Conis and Pagaya are to the crew before.
"Sadly, this has happened in the past in our world." Aizawa mentioned.
"You mean, colonization?" Momo said.
"Okay, at least some of you know about it." Hizashi let out a sigh of relief.
He doesn't shy away from the fact that the sky people has stolen their homeland due to their own greed, and this war hasn't ended even after 400 years, The Shandians are simply trying to take back their homeland.
Nami thought it was kind of heartbreaking, as Usopp and Sanji shouted that it makes them the bad guys. Pierre bit their heads, but Gan agreed.
Feelings of disappointment and disgust risen for the man who acted like a hero for this arc, but at the same time, the class didn't want to hate the man, especially when he acknowledges that all he and his people had done to the Shandians is wrong.
When Nami asked about Enel, Gan recounted his time as God until Enel appeared with soldiers, making a heavy blow to his 'Divine Squad' and to the Shandians, then took control of Upper Yard. Now, most of the Divine Squad is forced to work hard by Enel, though he doesn't know the details.
Katsuki let out an annoyed groan. "Are we going to face more extras?"
"I mean, it makes sense that there would be more people around to enforce things." Denki shrugged.
Still, to the Shandians, who God is doesn't change the situation.
When Sanji asked why did the Shandians attacked them before, Gan explained that members of the Divine Squad sometimes escape via ship, and naturally, the Shandians see them as enemies and try to eliminate them, perhaps mistaking the crew for them.
"At least they're not against outsiders...?" Mina shrugged.
"I'm pretty sure Ponytail is." Katsuki grunted.
One reason why Gan became the Sky Knight was to help escapees flee to other islands safely. They can't stay here, where Enel can observe them.
Sanji commented on God Enel is almost like a king of terror, causing Usopp to repeatedly hit his arm for saying so since the almighty God sees all.
"I'm sure he would had sent lightning after you guys the moment you'd entered without paying." Ochako said.
Gan thought it's much worst since Enel established outsiders as criminals, then has citizens lead them to their 'judgement.' This gives the citizens' 'awareness of sin.'
Enel knows that a person becomes his weakest when he sense sin in his own actions, so he created his own 'lost sheep' and controls them. He's truly playing God.
The class stared with wide eyes and disgust, seeing how Enel as able to manipulate his own people.
Nami commented how wrong they were for thinking this place would be paradise, mentioning the city of gold. This reminds Gan about this gold, having no clue what it is.
"Wait, he doesn't know what gold is?" Denki said, much to everyone else's shock.
"Does that mean the city of gold doesn't exist?" Ochako asked, alarmed.
"Or maybe it does exist, and they have another word for it." Izuku theorized.
After the eyecatches, in the past, Gan Fall tried to negotiate with the Shandians and their chief, but Wyper refused the God for doing nothing for the Shandians. Gan admits that he can't return everything as the power of Upper Yard's vearth is essential to Skypiea now and he cannot take that away from innocent people.
"And the Shandians aren't!?" Jiro can't help but to be furious at him.
"It's obvious it has been hundred of years since then. What can he do without changing too many lives?" Momo wondered.
"Are you defending him?"
"No! It's just that I feel like it's not going to make everything better if Gan Fall just gave the land back right now. Just giving back the land won't erase their centuries of pain."
"Then, what can he do?"
"I... don't know. I don't know their pain." Momo looked down.
Wyper dared him to take the risk, threatening people outside his 'Divine Squad,' that he should sacrifice 100 people who don't want to die, and bring their heads here.
"Whoa, hey, no!" Denki immediately exclaimed, shaking his head, as others looked absolutely alarmed by that.
Being furious about having your land taken is one thing, but demanding death on others is completely different.
Of course, Gan refused to do so, so the negotiations are off. Wyper told them to leave, and Gan tried to call out to him, much to the Shandian's disgust.
Gan mentioned that he love pumpkin juice, but that only sent Wyper into a frenzy, trying to attack him, only to be held back by his men.
"Why did you say that, old man?!" Katsuki furiously asked.
"You don't think it's not a sensitive subject on bringing up something from vearth?" Jiro asked, almost unimpressed.
"...I ...I think he wanted to bring up a common interest, but it backfired." Toshinori wanted to believe. He can't help but to feel sympathy for the man; a man who'd made many mistakes in his life, but tries his best to rectify them.
A young Laki look on from far away, hearing baby Aisa cry. Her mom mentioned that Aisa always cried when something scary happens in the village. Laki asked if it's because of Wyper. Aisa's mother isn't sure, though Wyper always is in the center of any trouble there is. When asked why, Laki admitted that she's afraid of him.
Students went silent, trying to process the information.
He's more than a problem child. Aizawa thought with a grimace. He's troubled.
In the present day, Laki saw Aisa's treasure was spilled on the ground right next to Wyper.
A few gasps rang out, especially seeing the look in Laki's eyes. For a moment, they expected Laki to tear into him, whether figuratively or literally, but Braham stopped her.
Wyper dared them to stay here, though they're always prepared. Still, he wants them to abandon those who have fallen during the battle.
The students were stunned by his words. The idea of leaving behind a fallen friend left a terrible taste in their mouth.
Those who can keep moving will come with him. Today will be the day Enel's head will be his.
"I can understand why he's so obsess, but to leave behind your people?" Momo quietly said.
Aizawa's eyes harden. You make it sound easy, kid.
To interrupt this moment, the four Straw Hats ran away from the giant snake. Zoro stopped to attack it, but the snake was able to lunge at Luffy and Chopper at great speeds despite his size.
Zoro and Robin gotten up to the branches, just in time to witness the giant snake bite into a tree, its poison rotting away the stump.
"Oh, it's also poisonous!" Katsuki shouted at the ridiculousness of the snake's dangerous.
Zoro suggest that they run away, adding that they don't touch the poison. Though Luffy attempted to taunt the snake after him, he went after Robin, who jumped out the way of its bite.
"Cinco Fleurs!" Swinging from a vine made of her arms, Robin moved away as Chopper ran.
Zoro was hoping to find the tail, but was met with the snake's head instead.
"How the hell you can't you tell its head from its tail!?" Jiro shouted.
"His sense of direction is practically nonexistence." Hizashi could only comment on.
The snake lunged, attacking a great deal of the forest.
Later, it was revealed that everyone was separated-
"Zoro, you went left when you said right!" Jiro had to point out, becoming a bit frustrated.
-and they're trying to find their way.
With Enel, he could tell tell that the Shandians started to move while the Blue Sea people have split up into two groups... then split up even more.
"Seriously, what's Mantra? Is it just instinct?" Denki asked.
He wondered how many people will survive, letting the survival game to begin.
"Survival game? Is that his 'festival?'" Izuku asked in worry.
As the Shandians traveled to God's Shrine for Enel's head, "To Be Continued."
"Is this just a game to him?" Momo said, bitterness in her voice.
"What do you expect? He's been relaxed this entire time." Jiro sighed.
Moving onto episode 169, they skipped the opening, recap, and title to see that on the Going Merry, Gan Fall reminded them of the one reason he'd became a soldier-for-hire, which is because Blue Sea people cannot handle sky combat. When USopp asked about sky combat, Gan demonstrated by placing a Dial on a barrel as Sanji help a comically large hammer.
"What are we doing?" Toru asked, though the others were curious in what's going on.
Gan asked Sanji to try to crush the shell with all his might, though Usopp told him to do it gently or else he'll smash a hole in the deck.
Sanji listened to Gan instead, slamming the hammer down, though it doesn't seem to have affect anything, not the dial nor the surroundings.
Baffled and confused stared came around.
"Wait... Did it absorbed the impact?" Momo asked, causing eyes to grow wide.
Sanji seemed to notice this as well.
Gan ordered him to point the dial's holes at the empty barrel and press the back tip of the shell.
Doing do caused the barrel to explode, sending wood and Sanji flying.
This is an Impact Dial, and it can absorb and freely release shocks given to it. Normally, they're affixed to the palms using gloves or bandages, and they're powerful enough that a direct hit can kill an average person.
Looks were exchanged at that, realizations coming from this example.
"Wait, is that how those guys were able to do all of that?" Denki asked in pure shock.
Sanji and Usopp realized this is what the 'dumpling priest' used on them before.
"Holy shit, thank god they're not average people." Kirishima let out a sigh of relief.
"Those shocks were able to affect even Luffy." Izuku frowned. "Is there a limit to this?"
As Sanji repeatedly hit him, Gan recounted that even more powerful dials in ancient sky islands exist, like the extinct 'Reject Dial,' though they're a double-edge sword too since the excessive shock can put the user's own life at risk.
The class winced at the silhouettes evaporating.
"But they're extinct now, so no one's going to use them. Right?" Toru asked.
"If no one's going to use them, then what's the point of mentioning it?" Jiro answered with another question.
Nami wasn't wrong about the dials being more common, everyday objects, but Gan reminded her that 'what seems useful can always be used for evil as well, depending on who uses it.' A Heat Dial can be used to warm food, but it can turn a spear into a 'heat javelin.'
"So, that's how that pilot guy was able to do all of that." Denki realized.
"Hm... In a way, it's like having a quirk." Aizawa said, eyes on him. "You can use a quirk in heroics, but you can use it in villainous ways too."
"I mean, I can use my voice for good, but I can easily use it for villainy too." Hizashi used as an example.
"But just because someone could use that quirk for villainy doesn't mean they would." Aizawa made sure to mention, seeing some of his students nod along in understanding. Hm... How would he react to this?
That's sky combat, and Blue Sea people are unfamiliar with dials and the types of artificial clouds.
Sanji asked about Mantra, but since Gan is unable to use it himself, he can't explain it very well. He describes it as a listening ability, where, just by living, people give off voices from their bodies, and by listening to them, one can allegedly tell what a person will do next. The priests can hear all throughout Upper Yard while Enel's powers extend across the entire land.
"Holy shit, that's amazing." Jiro could only wish she wasn't talking about the villains of this arc.
Because of that, the people of this land have no time to feel at ease.
"Yeah, with a quirk like that, I would be careful with what I say too." Sero gulped.
"Is he your relative?" Todoroki turned to Jiro.
"You already said that to Kaminari." Jiro said with some annoyance.
Todoroki then stared at Jiro, then at Denki. "...Then, is Enel your and Kaminari's love child?"
"WHAT?!" The two shouted, blushes covering their faces. The others laughed at the two's reactions.
"W-What do you mean?!" Jiro shouted.
"It makes sense. Enel is blond, has the long ear lobes, an electric quirk, powerful hearing, he said 'Ware ga Kaminari,' and he's apparently a reference to a musician." Todoroki listed out.
"Honestly, that, at least, sounds more plausible than me being All Might's love child." Izuku sighed.
"...Wait, what?" Toshinori looked baffled at that.
"I mean, Enel does seem to happen to have a lot similar traits to you guys." Mina snickered.
"I-It's pure coincidence!" Jiro continued to blush.
"Yeah, and besides, if we did had a kid, they wouldn't be evil like Enel." Denki firmly said.
"Yea- wait, what?" Jiro's blush seemed to grow stronger at that.
"Technically, Enel would be their ance-" Iida was interrupted when Izuku said, "I feel like we should stop now or else we'll be in too deep."
At God's Shrine, Enel asked if they've reached the bottom, and the man claimed that they're eagerly waiting so. He could see that Enel is really waging all-out war, questioning such severity as they're only dealing with a few of the Shandians and Blue Sea people.
Enel simply thought that festivals are more fun the livelier they are, and besides, his men are making light of the underlying power of sky combat.
As his servant peeled his banana, Enel explained that there's him, fifty Divine Soldiers, and three priests against twenty Shandians, and four Blue Sea people. No, wait make that 7 because he doubts that the old man can fight right now.
"He really thinks everything is a game if he's just using numbers." Aizawa said.
"Wait until he discovers what Luffy's Devil Fruit powers are." Hizashi smirked.
"Oh yeah, Luffy would by immune to electricity." Ochako realized.
"I guess, he's the only one safe then." Shoji said.
"I mean, Luffy has to take down the big bad of the arc." Katsuki said.
Enel forced his servant to guess the outcome, but since she doesn't know much, he had one of his man to do it instead, who suspected that 30 people will fall and 50 will survive.
Enel laughed at his 'optimism,' saying that he's underestimating this battle, so the man asked for his own prediction. For Enel, there'll only be five people left on this island.
"Five?!" Students looked at each other in worry.
"Come on, it's not like he has future vision." Katsuki reminded them.
"Still, he's just so confident in what he said that we can sort of believe it." Toru said.
The Shandians came back to the forest, but they've found themselves unable to move, practically frozen mid-air. Shura shown himself, claiming that Upper Yard's layout has changed.
"What do you mean?! How are you able to do this?!" Mineta shouted in shock.
After the eyecatches, the Shandians could see that they're in String Ordeal, where, in fact, they're tangled up in string clouds.
"Oh, that's why." Denki realized.
"String clouds?" Ojiro repeated in confusion.
"Well, it was called the String Ordeal for a reason." Tokoyami reasoned.
Shura was impressed that Kamakiri could tell with the strong clouds being so fine that they can't be seen but strong enough to stop grown men.
The priest was so confident that it seemed like he didn't notice Wyper in the shadows, but he did, riding on Fuza's back, dodging his explosive.
"So close!" Mina cried out.
"Wyper was able to predict his attack beforehand?" Todoroki wanted to be a little more impressed.
Though he was warned of the Heat Javelin, Wyper tossed aside his shield and weapon, falling right into the javelin's tip.
Shouts of surprise came out as Toshinori gasped, "What are you doing?!"
Wyper grabbed onto Shura, even as the javelin burned him.
Students winced, especially Todoroki.
When Wpyer placed his bandaged hand on the priest's chest, Shura claimed that an Impact Dial can't defeat him, but Wyper said that it has ten times the energy.
"Wyper, you didn't-" Momo cut herself off, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Reject!" Shura's feathers fly everywhere as the Shandian landed on the ground, holding onto his arm.
With that, one person dropped out; eight remain.
Izuku held onto his own arm in horror, eyes widen at this act.
Enel let his people know that Shura has been defeated. One of his men was more shock that Enel wasn't distress since his two undefeated priests has fallen in under two days.
Enel just thought it can't be helped since they must not have had God's divine protection.
"But aren't you 'God?'" Jiro raised an eyebrow.
"I guess they're not worthy enough to him." Tokoyami guessed.
Meanwhile, the 5o Divine Soldiers of Skypiea are allow to wreak havoc to their hearts' content.
"I did not realize that there were goat people in the sky too." Hizashi almost wanted to laugh.
Laki has stood on the shore, collecting the vearth into Aisa's bag as Kamakiri scolded Wyper for trying to die, knowing that his body would be blown apart if he tries to use the Reject Dial one more time.
Wyper didn't care about his body, calling it 'resolve.' There has to be sacrifices.
"But you can't do anything for your homeland if you're dead." Aizawa glared him down as Izuku was suddenly reminded of the Quirk Apprehension Test of the first school day, and what Aizawa has said to him that day.
"I'm saying that's what those around you will be forced to do."
If he continues this way, then he would be leaving his people in danger, that someone will have to do something. Izuku could only stare at the screen intensely, clenching his arm.
A blast from his launcher released the others from their string imprisonment. The Shandians split up, seeing that the ordeals' locations has changed now, though that doesn't stop the Divine Soldiers from fighting them.
Students sneered, seeing that the Divine Soldiers aren't a joke despite appearances.
All the while, Luffy was walking around the forest, singing his songs til he heard a goat bah. The Divine Soldier tried to attack him from behind, but Luffy already beat him to the punch, disappointed that he wasn't an actual goat.
Students snickered at both the quick defeat and Luffy's ridiculous reason.
After Luffy continued his walk and song, he came across Wyper, who isn't pleased that he's still here. Luffy was only apologetic when Wyper told him that this is his people's land, not God's.
"Look, you must realize it's hard to get off a sky island, right?" Sero said.
Wyper stopped him before Luffy could go in any further. Though Wyper realized that he doesn't have anything to say to him, he also doesn't want to hear any of his garbage. In fact, he wants to eliminate him.
"Hey, Luffy's singing was't that bad." Jiro said.
Luffy was rather causal about it, tossing his stick aside and getting into a fighting stance.
This he could understand.
"To Be Continued."
"Oh man, he's ready." Kirishima grinned.
"Though, I feel like they shouldn't be fighting each other." Momo frowned.
"It's obvious why he would have a hatred for foreigners." Aizawa noted. "It doesn't excuse his tactlessness of the situation, though."
Chapter 63 - Episode 170, 171, & 172
Moving onto episode 170, they skipped the opening, recap, and title, they could see that after Luffy accepted Wyper's fight, Chopper ran around in fear, Robin searched through the ruins, and Zoro was lost.
Zoro acknowledged the people here has strange fighting techniques, and it might be dangerous to use his swords from the usual distance, though he does have long ranged attacks for small fries.
"Zoro, I believe you have a bird after you." Iida pointed out, raising a hand.
"I'm sure he'd noticed by now." Ojiro said.
Said bird tried to swoop in, but Zoro was able to attack it. Still, he believes to work on it, probably a flying slash.
"That would be awesome." Kirishima grinned.
Meanwhile, Chopper was being chased after by the Divine Soldiers, and it doesn't help him when the Shandians came along too.
"Poor Chopper." Ochako cooed as she and the other girls felt bad for the young reindeer, though some of the others guys can't help but to snicker at Chopper's scared expressions.
For Robin, she could hear the commotion from the forest. She'd discovered a house away from the city, swallowed up by the forest.
A Divine Soldier appeared to warn her of God's Shrine, and how she shouldn't go any further. Robin told him to get down since he's ruining the historical value the ruins have.
"Oh, wow, I think this is the first time we've seen her truly upset." Toru said, kind of frighten.
"She is an archaeologist." Tokoyami reminded her.
"An archaeologist who can fight." Denki added with a grin.
"I wouldn't mind seeing her fight." Shoji said, hoping to see something he could replicate in a way.
Robin wants to know what he wants, and the soldier was ordered to follow Enel's rules, which is to chop the Shandians and the Blue Sea people with the Axe Dial.
"Seis Fleurs!" Her limbs appeared all over the soldier, grabbing onto him. "Twist!" Like that, Robin twisted his body, feeling awful for the ruined ruins.
Students can't help but to wince at that.
"Oh yeah, still looks painful as always." Denki shuttered.
Could I replicate that in a way? Would it even be ethical? Shoji wondered.
As the Shandians and the Divine Soldiers fought, Zoro happened to come across this, already being attacked by one of the Shandians. Holding onto his sword, Zoro punched the man.
"I feel like you didn't need the sword at that point." Momo sweatdropped.
"It adds extra... 'punch?'" Sato shrugged, causing others to groaned at the pun.
A Divine Soldier appeared, begging not to be killed, but he was shot down. When Braham came out, Zoro complained about being attacked since he's not a priest.
Still, Braham shot, glowing lights nearly blinding Zoro, though the swordsman managed to dodged them. When Zoro took a powered spinning kick from him, Braham was impressed that he's pretty tough for a Blue Sea person, and you know what, Zoro apologized for pegging him as a small fry.
"It can't be helped." Iida could only sigh sadly.
After the eyecatches, explosions were blown as the Shandians and the Divine Soldiers fought. Braham and Zoro faced each other. With the skates' help, Braham flew over Zoro and took aim, though Zoro managed to dodge the bullets, hiding behind a tree's roots.
"The flashing bullets makes it really heard to attack right back." Izuku noted.
"Of course, it would be quite blinding." Aoyama nodded, a hint of pride in his voice.
Zoro guessed those skates must be another type of waver, and took note of how distracted he gets from the flashes.
Before he could guess where Braham is, he was shot at, though he still was able to run after him despite the flashing bullets. For a moment, Braham was shocked by his three swords, but was able to jump high in the air, sending down more bullets.
"Goddamn it, someone take a hit already!" Katsuki complained.
"Let Zoro figure it out." Jiro complained right back to him.
As Zoro rain up the tree to reach him, Braham thought everything the swordsman does is useless. Throwing a dial in the air left a trail of clouds, allowing him to travel his way to Zoro. Though the gun was in his face, Zoro managed to bend himself backwards, out of the bullets' path.
"It's really difficult, especially when your opponent keeps moving." Kirishima said.
"I mean, the Shandians must have a lot more practice in aerial combat than the others had." Tsuyu said.
As he fall, a giant eel popped out of the Milky Road, though by cutting it in half, Zoro was able to use it as a platform to stand on. It doesn't change the fact that he has difficulty fitting Braham, escaping by hiding behind a tree.
Zoro's choices were getting limited, especially when his legs has been shot.
Students winced at the gun wound, feeling sympathetic for the swordsman.
He thought of something, wearing his goggles. He appeared before Braham, claiming that his flashing pistols won't work on him anymore... but Braham could see that they don't look like sunglasses.
He saw through it!
Snickers and giggles broke out at the obvious lie.
"Zoro, leave the lying to Usopp." Ochako giggled.
Braham could see that Zoro's no match for him. While he doesn't know why he's here, Zoro's their enemy if he stays here, telling him to die.
Zoro acknowledged to himself that he still lacks vigor, but he can try out that technique.
"What technique?" Denki wondered, eager to see it.
"Is it the flying slash?" Kirishima asked with hopefulness.
Zoro ran away from the flashing bullets, jumping down, but the impact caused his bullets wound to spurt out blood.
Once again, the audience can't help but to painfully wince at that, impressed that he could still move at all.
Braham mocked him for running away til Zoro recounted the six roots of man, and each of those has pure and impure... 36 worldly desires in a lifetime...
Braham may have pistols, but Zoro has a cannon aimed at him.
Students looked at each other in confusion.
"What is he talking about? He doesn't have a cannon." Sero asked.
"His inspiration for a new attack?" Tokoyami guessed, excited for the possibilities.
Braham tossed down the Milky Dial to him, making his way to him. He was confused about this 'cannon,' but Zoro asked if he has ever seen a flying slash.
"Sajuroku Pound Ho!" Swinging his swords, a spiral slash was launched at the Shandian, cutting into him.
"That was so manly!" Kirishima's eyes sparkled as the others were greatly amazed by the feat, though they did looked a bit alarmed at the cut that appeared on the swordsman's cheek.
Zoro apologized as he ain't the type of guy who'll die when told to. He'll accept this survival challenge.
At some ruins, Gedatsu was able to defeat a Shandian, but soon, he noticed Chopper crying for the others.
"Oh no," Ochako whispered.
"Maybe he'll think he's a tanuki, and let him go." Toru hoped.
"I mean, Dreadlocks is probably stupid enough to do so." Katsuki shrugged.
...Tanuki.
"See!" Toru gleefully shouted as Katsuki facepalmed.
Finally, back with Luffy and Wyper, the battle started with a hang as Wyper launched an explosive, which Luffy launched it back with his ballooned body. Though it didn't work, Wyper did it again, but it only ended in the same result.
"You got to think up something else, Ponytail!" Jiro shouted.
As for the rest of the crew on the Going Merry, Nami and Usopp looked on in horror as Sanji kicked, but the cook was burnt to a crisp.
"Sanji!" Students yelled out in horror, but another realization settled in from seeing the sparks.
"Enel's here?!" Denki gasped.
"Already?! He should be like the endgame boss for the arc, not going after them." Sero panicked.
Nami and Usopp were confuse on what happened, but Gan could see Enel was here.
Usopp couldn't hear Sanji's heart, and the two were soon alerted to Enel's present, who claimed that he didn't come here to bring harm-
"Well, bullshit!" Kirishima shouted, panicking over the situation.
He was here to talk to Gan Fall.
"To Be Continued."
"No, Sanji!" Mina cried.
"He's not dead. It's obvious that the cook's going to be alive." Katsuki rolled his eyes. "The creator can't even kill off extras unless they're in flashbacks. Do you expect me to believe he'll kill off a main character?"
"Then why isn't Sanji's heart beating?" Toru asked.
"I don't know. Long Nose was listening to the wrong side or some bullshit. I just know it's going to be for some bullshit reason."
"Still, even if Sanji isn't dead, it's most likely he can't fight, meaning Nami, Usopp, and possibly Gan Fall are left to deal with Enel." Iida sternly said.
"I'm sorry, but they're pretty much dead at that point." Jiro bluntly said.
"Right!" Katsuki immediately agreed.
"But you said that the main characters wouldn't be dead." Tsuyu pointed out.
"I'm just calling out bullshit because they should be dead with that fake God around, but I bet something will save them out of nowhere."
Skipping episode 171's opening, recap, and title, they could see Usopp was crying for Sanji until Nami pointed out that he's checking Sanji's right, not his left.
He's alive.
"What did I fucking tell you?!" Katsuki shouted.
"You could had let us have out moment." Toru said with a pout in her voice.
Still, Sanji has been seriously injured.
Face to face with Enel, Usopp attempted to threaten him, failing to do so with his shaking. In a blink of an eye, Enel seemed to vanish, only to reappear, shocking Usopp to a crisp.
"Usopp!" Students screamed out in horror.
"Would you look at that? Enel can turn himself into electricity." Katsuki practically hissed towards Denki.
"Look, this is not a good time for this." Denki sighed.
Enel ordered them to remain silent or else.
Nami was pale with horror, confusion in his wake.
The 'God' was here to tell Gan that his Divine Squad are working very hard for him, though he'll no longer have any need for them nor the island, so he came here to bid him farewell.
"Really, that's it?" Katsuki asked, sounding a bit disappointed.
"Do you want that? Or a mass murder on the ship?" Jiro practically snarked.
Enel tacked on the fact that he thinks the denizens of Skypiea are all ignorant fools for only viewing this island as a clump of vearth. There are multiple reason to want this island, but one: the great relics of Shandora, the legendary city of gold.
"Don't worry, Nami wants it." Ochako tried to joke.
"Though I don't think she'll admit it to his face." Hizashi said.
Gan doesn't know what gold is, and that seemed to prove Enel's point about their ignorance, seeing how he doesn't know of it nor its value.
"How the hell do you know about it then?" Mina asked.
Anyway, this game is the final battle, and the winner will gain all that gold.
Enel asked if they could hear the sounds of lively festival as the battle between Shandians and Divine Soldiers rung out. Since he's a participant, he must be off, though when Gan asked if he's going to free the Divine Squad...
"God only knows."
Like that, he disappeared in a quick flash.
"He's psychotic."Ochako shivered.
"He probably thinks he's going to win." Todoroki said.
"Wait until he meets Luffy then." Kirishima smirked.
As Nami was to see that Usopp was surprised, a surprise cloud passed by.
"Why are there two dumpling priests?!" Katsuki loudly complained.
"Brothers." Todoroki concluded.
"At least it's obvious." Izuku sighed.
Like that, the two, round Divine Soldiers appeared before them.
"Well, I'm sure they're easier to beat compared to Enel." Momo tried to find hope in the situation.
With Luffy and Wyper, their battle had continued on. The result seemed to be the same, so Wyper will change the style.
"Well, finally." Jiro jokingly said.
Wyper put in something else into his launcher, and launched it at Luffy, which made an awful smell. The Shandian told him about the Breath Dial of his weapon, a Burn Bazooka, which will let the flames burn its prey to a crisp.
Said explosive came out, burning a hole right into the tree behind Luffy as he dodged.
"Alright, I'm a little more impressed." Katsuki blinked, wide eyed.
For a moment, Luffy thought Wyper has disappeared, but in time, he managed to dodge a kick from the Shandian. In turn, Wyper seemed to fend off Luffy's attacks, though when their feet made contact, Luffy was able to surprise him by launching himself at him, though Wyper moved out of the way.
"He's able to handle himself quite well." Iida was quite impressed with how Wyper was able to dodge Luffy's punches, though he held his breath at the blast Luffy was nearly able to dodge.
Each attack they delivered seemed to keep missing til the last one where the both of them unleashed their Bazooka, hitting each other.
Wyper and Luffy still managed to stand, and after the eyecatches, Wyper can tell that the rubber man hasn't kicked the bucket yet.
"Of course he hasn't!" Kirishima shouted, which Luffy agreed.
In the back, the giant snake appeared, and lunged at Luffy, swallowing the rubber man whole.
"Of fucking course!" Katsuki cursed, frustrated with this.
"To be fair, it isn't the first time the show has to incapacitated Luffy in some way." Sato said.
Wyper was confuse on how Luffy disappeared, but decided to return his focus on Enel, knowing he could Reject only one more time, and his body will be blown to bits.
And he's still accepting it. Izuku thought, wringing his hands. He can't really call him out on it since he could acknowledge that he's rather... sacrificial himself. Though Izuku knows that he's been lucky enough to be able to have time to heal, he could see Wyper is willing to truly sacrifice himself for his people and his land.
Genbou was able to take on the Divine Soldiers rather easily until the large man of the Divine Squad appeared, commenting how he used iron in defeating his men. Genbou could see that he's the Divine Commander Yama.
Genbou launched his iron ball at the commander, but Yama was surprisingly nimble, kicking the iron ball right back into Genbou's gut.
Students winced at the impact.
"How does he move like that?" Kirishima asked, almost impressed. He knows that Fat Gum can be impressively fast, but Yama was definitely has some skills too.
Genbou refused to back down. Seeing how tough he is, Yama was impressed enough to finish off with his secret technique.
"Does everyone have a secret technique?" Sato asked.
"I mean, you got to keep your opponent on their toes." Hizashi shrugged.
Doing flips and launching into the air, Yama took out a sash. Genbou refused to be taken down, but cuts decorated his body as Yama body slammed him into the tree.
More wincing commenced.
"This doesn't look good." Shoji cringed.
On the Going merry, Nami was confused by the two's appearance, but the Deputy Divine Commanders are here to avenge their brother Satori. Even when Nami claimed that she has no clue who that is, Hotori and Kotori aren't fooled.
"At least there's only two of them." Katsuki practically growled.
"Wait, are the goat ears and horns part of the uniform?" Denki asked.
"Maybe they're half brothers." Todoroki suggested.
"Or maybe Satori was hiding them under his hair and hat." Sato guessed.
"Is that even possible?" Tokoyami asked, trying the envision that.
Since Nami has no clue what they're talking about, Gan could tell they must be talking about Satori, their elder brother.
"Look, Enel already beat you to it, so I think you should leave Nami alone." Mina tried to persuade.
Gan called out for Pierre, who threw him his lance. He wants to take care of them, though Nami wanted to join in, taking out her Clima Takt, to protect her friends.
"Oh, Nami!" Ochako's eyes seemed to sparkle, seeing how she'd grown since the beginning.
First, they have to ascertain their dials.
Meanwhile, Luffy was found himself in a dark, wet place, confuse in where he is.
"Did he forget about the snake?" Ojiro sighed.
"I mean, I would had assume it would be more... fleshy." Sero shrugged.
At the same time, Chopper attempted to search for the others while Gedatsu tried to search for him, but a Divine Soldier had to tell him that his eyes are rolled inside of his head.
"...How is he still alive?" Aizawa could only be flabbergasted by this man.
The Divine Soldier showed him a picture of the puny creature, showing Gedatsu that he's part of the Blue Sea people. While he's not a tanuki, he's a creature from the Blue Sea.
"Noooooo! He's going to get hurt!" Toru cried out, much to the worry of the girls and Koda.
Chopper's search was cut short when Gedatsu appeared, eyes rolled inside of his head. He has no clue where he is, even when Chopper poked his nose with a stick.
"To Be Continued."
"Thank God that he's the biggest idiot we've seen so far." Jiro let out a sigh of relief.
"Maybe Chopper can take him on after all." Mina hoped.
"We shouldn't underestimate out opponent here." Shoji warned them. "There's a reason he's a priest."
Onto episode 172, they skipped the opening, recap, and title to see that the battle between Shandians and Divine Soldiers continued on, Robin looked through the ruins, finding out the ancient city's name was Shandora, which flourished over 1100 years ago, then 800 years ago when it fell. It matches with the 'Void Century' that went missing throughout the world, but this island might know of this 'unspoken history.'
"Void Century?" Students looked intrigued and yet shocked by it.
"How does a century worth of information goes missing?" Ojiro pondered.
"Well, there's the burning of the Library of Alexandria." Toshinori mentioned.
"The Library of Alexandria?" Shoji repeated.
"It was one of the world's largest library until Julius Caesar burned it down." Hizashi defined.
"Though the Void Century was apparently worldwide." Aizawa said.
She was planning to go to the center of Shandora for more information, but soon found herself face to face with Yama. At the same time, Chopper found himself against Gedatsu, who had to be reminded that his eyes are rolled back.
"Seriously, how is this man alive?" Aizawa had to ask again.
When Chopper asked if he's an enemy, Gedatsu thought of all the important information until... the Divine Soldier reminded him to speak instead.
"I have to concur. How is this man still alive?" Tokoyami asked as the others snickered at the gag.
Anyway, Gedatsu told him that they're surrounded by Swamp Cloud, and if Chopper's caught by one, there's no way for him to escape on his own.
...Then he started to sink.
"Okay, maybe Chopper does have a chance at this." Tsuyu hoped.
But it doesn't really affect him as Gedatsu used the Milky Dials in his shoes to shoot himself into the air, clouding Chopper's vision for a moment. Even then, Chopper thought it looked cool until purple clouds came out of Gedatsu's gloves.
"Numagumo Burger!" The priest threw the cloud at him.
"Burger?" Izuku repeated the name in confusion.
It has the weight of a cloud and the properties of a swamp, but it hit the Divine Soldier instead, causing him to drown as he can't take it off.
"Oooooo... that's bad." Sato winced with the other students.
"That's a burger I wouldn't eat." Denki whispered under his breath.
Gedatsu threw another purple cloud at him, but Chopper ran away, attempting to save the soldier by pulling him out.
"You saved him!" Ochako gleefully shouted, ignoring how painful Heavy Point Chopper pounding on the man's chest looks.
Gedatsu thought it was pathetic that the Divine Soldier had to be saved by the enemy, infuriating the soldier into never serving him again.
"Woo!" Kirishima cheered when it seemed like Chopper and the soldier is going to team up, but Gedatsu already defeated the soldier with a single punch, sending him flying through the stone pillar.
"..."
"You celebrated too early." Tsuyu bluntly said.
"I know that!"
Chopper froze in place as Gedatsu clarified that he used a Jet Dial to accelerate his punch. The reindeer tried to run, planning to go on top of the ruins and into the forest to avoid the traps, but Gedatsu was already in front of him.
"Is super speed also part of Mantra?" Izuku observed.
Before Gedatsu could 'Jet Punch' him, Chopper ate a Rumble Ball to jump high into the sky, recognizing that he has three minutes to escape, but Gedatsu was already after him. In Heavy Point, Chopper was able to dodge another punch, and in Guard Point, Chopper managed to deter the Swamp Cloud.
Falling down as Brain Point, Chopper desperately tried to scope out the priest's weakness, but he was able to punch him into the ruins, knocking him unconscious even when Chopper got his guard up.
"NO!" The girls and Koda cried out, horrified by the result with the others.
After the eyecatches, Robin moved out of the way of Yama's punch, angered by his destruction of the ruins. Yama told her to worry about herself, backing her up into a wall and punching her straight through it.
"Man, it seemed like almost everyone's out." Kirishima winced, seeing Luffy walk through the giant snake's body.
"And Zoro's lost." Ojiro added with a sigh.
Chopper could barely stand, but as Gedatsu walked over the ruins, the young reindeer could see that Gedatsu's weakness is his feet.
"Come on, Chopper." Sero gritted his teeth, as the audience could see that the reindeer could barely walk.
As Chopper climbed up to Gedatsu, the young doctor knew he should stop running, and beat him.
He grabbed onto Gedatsu's ankle, only to be kicked off. Even as Gedatsu summoned his swamp cloud, Chopper refused to run. Everyone protected him before, and that's why they don't rely on him.
I'm going to raise a pirate flag right here!
"You can do it!" Kirishima cheered on with the girls and Koda as the other felt a sense of pride for the young reindeer.
Chopper leaped into the sky before the swamp cloud landed. He anticipated Gedatsu flying after him until the priest was out of control, realizing that the reindeer has removed one of his shoes.
"Good job, young Chopper." Toshinori grinned.
Chopper let out a loud howl, and when Gedatsu tried to 'Jet Punch' him, he was only able to graze him, realizing that he has lost his composure.
"Cloven... Cross!" In Arm Point, Chopper sent feathers flying in the air, making a cross-shaped imprint into Gedatsu's chest.
Chopper landed, declaring himself to be a pirate.
"We never doubted you." Izuku smiled at him.
Behind him, Gedatsu landed in a swamp. Chopper hopes he stays there, though he panicked when the priest started to move. All Gedatsu do is use his Milky Dial, only to make him sink deeper, giving Chopper the victory.
"You did it, Chopper!" Mina cheered.
"Wouldn't it be funny if he just went through the island?" Denki asked.
"Let's just hope he can swim," Ojiro said.
"Or survive a fall onto another sky island." Iida suggested.
Aisa could hear another priest's voice disappear, hurrying her way to the land.
"Aisa, what are you going?!" Toru panicked.
"Leave this for the adults." Toshinroi scolded the little girl.
Suddenly, her waver broke down. She can't fix it, and what made it worst was the skyshark that ate half her waver.
"Already, she's in trouble." Aizawa sighed.
Aisa cried for help, and as if on cue, Pagaya and Conis has arrived just in time for Aisa to jump into their waver.
"Whoa, sweet ride." Sero lightly joked.
"I mean, I love the horn." Hizashi grinned.
Seeing that they're Skypieans, Aisa was afraid, though she claimed not to be.
"Don't be like that." Tsuyu frowned at her. "They did saved you."
Suu the fox cuddled up at her feet, calming Aisa, as the two Skypieans introduced themselves. Aisa asked them to take her to Upper Yard.
She could tell that everyone's voices has been disappearing more and more, but luckily for her, Pagaya and Conis are headed there too, wanting to lead the Straw Hats to the end of Skypiea.
"Even to the end, you still care." Mina admired.
"You make it sound like they're going to die." Jiro fondly rolled her eyes.
Aisa knew who they meant, and Conis and Pagaya had her guide them there.
Meanwhile, as Chopper drank his water, he wants to find gold to surprise everyone, though he wondered if everyone's there already.
"To Be Continued."
"That's the last episode for today." Aizawa said, causing his students to let out disappointed groans.
"Don't be like that. You have 20 more episodes tomorrow." Hizashi reminded them.
"Still, there's so many things to see and learn from this arc." Ojiro said.
"Maybe you should get some tips from that wannabe god, Sparky." Katsuki smugly smirked at Denki.
"Maybe I will!" Denki pouted.
Chapter 64 - Episode 173 & 174
"Wait, Ace's after Blackbeard." Todoroki looked up from his cereal bowl, on that Sunday morning, suddenly coming to that realization.
Everyone paused in the dining room, whether it was from eating or chatting about future episodes, processing what he had just said.
"Oh shit, he's right." Sero realized, eyes growing wide.
"Maybe Ace can defeat Blackbeard." Mina hoped.
"I'm not sure. As much as I hate to doubt Ace here, there seems to be a lot of buildup about Blackbeard and the possibility of him joining the Shichibukai, and there must be a reason why it happened." Ojiro said. "We don't even know what his Devil Fruit powers are."
"If he has a Devil Fruit." Izuku pointed out, looking up from his phone.
"Come on, he has to have one," Katsuki rolled his eyes, looking unimpressed. "And he has to have a powerful one if he's going to face Ace someday."
"He doesn't seem like an ice guy, so what powers would he have?" Ochako attempted to theorize.
"Ice guy? Do you want Blackbeard to beat him?" Sato accused.
"No! It's just a classic thing to do: Fire and ice."
Todoroki examined through his whole life at that.
"But it's just too obvious." Toru pointed out. "Maybe it's something we didn't expect. Like something far from our minds that we would never think of."
"I'm sure we'll find out what his powers in the future," Denki shrugged.
Skipping episode 173's opening, recap, and title, they could see Kamakiri struggling to stand as he and the other warriors skate across the forest, but Kamakiri wants them to pay attention to their surroundings instead.
"Yes, I agree, but it's obvious you haven't healed from yesterday." Aizawa scolded him.
Soon, they discovered the Giant Jack, meaning the ruins of Shandora are near, and Enel's at the top.
"When did this became 'Jack and the Beanstalk?'" Hizashi joked.
The yell from his partner caused Kamakiri to stop, seeing that Enel had took down his man.
"What are you doing here?!" Mineta shouted in fearful surprise as the others gulped at his present.
Enel could tell he's baffle to why he's here, and Kamakiri wondered if it's Mantra. Enel laughed, but he doesn't blame him. He's now a player, telling him of his leaving.
Kamakiri was angry that he thinks all of this is a game. Enel could tell that he wants to get rid of him, and in fact, he'll reward him for his hard work as a warrior; an act of God's charity. He'll give him five minutes to do anything he wants with him, and Enel will just take it.
Students exchanged looks of uncertainty with each other.
"He's up to something." Tokoyami determined, and it was obviously so.
But once those five minutes are up, Enel will make sure to remind him of one thing: "...You will come to learn what God is from the bottom of your heart."
The audience shivered at his words and his shadowed face, as if every instinct they have is telling them to run, not even to fight him off. As if they don't believe they even have a chance to survive with him around.
Using the Milky Dial, Kamakiri rode his way up to Enel, swinging his spear at him.
On the Going Merry-
"No, I wanted to see the aftermath!" Sero cried out.
-the round brothers dodged Nami's attack, kicking the unconscious Usopp and Sanji into bouncing between them.
"That would be a humiliating way to die." Katsuki sneered.
"They're unconscious. What more do you want?" Sato sighed.
Nami told them to stop, but the two didn't care. They killed their brothers, so they must pay.
Nami tried to swing her takt at one of them, but was held back, allowing them to hold up an Impact to her face.
Students gasped, waiting for the worst.
It was actually a Flavor Dial that releases a horrible smell.
There were sighs of relief and disgusted groans, along with eyerolls, at such a disgusting trick.
"Still, they have the element of surprise." Sato said.
Gan could see that they have four different dials: Axe, Flame, Impact, and Flavor. As the two showed off, there's no way to distinguish Hotori and Kotori.
"I can tell this is going to be a fucking annoying battle." Katsuki growled.
Gan and Nami jumped into action, leading Nami to throw the cross shaped poles. One of the brothers dodged it, seemingly leaving himself open of an attack from Gan, but Gan was quick to use his cloak as a shield, though it was only the farts of the Flavor Dial. Teasingly, the other brothers used his Flam Dial, setting the gas on fire.
"Not even the Flavor Dial is considered safe!" Toru cried out.
The brothers thought Gan was sent flying, but in actuality, the former god was hanging on the edge, using the spear's momentum to launch himself back up.
"Oh dang, old man." Denki gaped with the others.
"Alright, this might not be shitty." Katsuki said, impressed.
Already, Gan took down Kotori, just as Nami's Cyclone Tempo has sent Hotori into the waters. Gan asked Nami to finish him off with his gauntlet down below.
Nami went down to see Pierre handing her the heavy gauntlet, which is made out of Blue Sea iron which has an Impact Dial.
"I hope Nami could handle the recoil." Izuku slightly winced, wringing his wrist.
Nami put it on, just in time for Hotori to jump out of the waters. She could recognized him as the flame guy, noting that he's wet with the air full of moisture.
Hotori was surprised by the Cool Balls she released at him, Nami asked if he can use fire, but Hotori could tell she wants him to use his Flame Dial, unleashing his fire anyway.
With this action, it caused the moisture to condense, becoming fog.
"Fog Tempo!"
"More of that weather magic!" Mina gleefully shouted as Todoroki immediately took note of this technique.
"Weather science- er, meteorology." Momo corrected her, and then herself.
Hotori suddenly was surrounded by fog, allowing Nami to jump on his face.
"Nami, there are children here!" Hizashis exclaimed in a fake scandalized voice. Aizawa shook his head at that.
Some of the students looked confused by that, others had a light, embarrassed blush, and...
I wish that was me. Mineta thought.
Nami slammed that gauntlet into his face, unleashing its Impact. Hotori was sent flying right of the ship as Nami screamed in pain, complaining it to Gan.
Through the loud cheers, Izuku gave Nami a sympathetic look, glad that her arm wasn't at least blown off.
Gan congratulated her, and Nami could only move on from it, glad that they're able to protect the ship and the crew.
After the eyecatches, Pagaya asked Aisa if she cam really tell where the Straw Hats' ship is, and when Aisa said she could, Conis thought it was a mysterious power to do so, though she asked Aisa is she's alright.
Aisa admitted that she've never felt this afraid before; hearing everyone's voices disappear more and more.
"That would be a horrible quirk if she can't control it." Sato commented on, feeling bad for the little girl.
"I would hate for that to happen to me." Jiro murmured. Though it would be one thing to happen upon using her quirk for figuring out the layout, it would be another to always hear such a thing with no way to turn it off.
As Pagaya hurried, Nami asked why Gan is just going to leave her here. Gan claimed he's going to follow Enel, wondering why he has sprung into action now. He figured that the entire land may be in danger.
For now, all he could do is leave the gauntlet before, then he fly off with Pierre, much to Nami's chagrin.
"You were able to handle Hotori by yourself pretty well." Tokoyami complimented.
"Not sure if she can keep doing it with the priests or the other soldiers all day." Shoji said.
Seeing that Gan won't come back, Nami have to give first aid to Usopp and Sanji, but that was interrupted by an explosion. Pagaya, Conis, and Aisa made their way to them.
As Nami demand them that they shop playing the horn, Pagaya stopped Aisa from getting off the boat, much to Nami's confusion.
"I don't think you'll be able to survive by yourself." Sero commented on.
On the Going Merry, Pagaya introduced Aisa to Nami, though Aisa was definitely not pleased with as Conis worry over Sanji and Usopp.
Pagaya told her that by using a Milky Dial, they can create a new river and send them straight to the White-White Sea. Nami wished they came in more quietly.
"To be fair, with that horn, it really makes it easy for the others to spot them." Sato said.
"Surprised no one did." Ojiro sighed.
Pagaya gave Nami a waver, repairing the one they brought fromt he Blue Sea, much to Nami's joy, though its power is beyond compare.
"Lucky, free jet ski!" Mina cried out.
"But what does he mean by 'power beyond compare?'" Izuku wondered.
As the harsh battle between Shandian and Divine Soldier continued on, Enel let out a bored yawn as Kamakiri charged after him and stabbed his spear right through his head.
Students screamed out in horror, some turned away to avoid the possibility of blood and grey matter scatter the jungle floor, but...
"He's fine?" Koda looked through his fingers, leading others to gape at such a thing.
Kamakiri's spear sparked, conducting electricity into the Shandian, as Enel mocked him, promising he hasn't done anything. He's just lightning.
"Yes, I can see it! He's better than me!" Denki shouted at Katsuki in frustration before he could even open his mouth.
"He's intangible. It's like... Enel is truly made of electricity." Momo tried her best to describe the threat that is Enel.
"So, yeah, Luffy's the one only one who can beat him." Jiro commented on.
"Would they even know what rubber is in the sky islands?" Toru asked.
"Well, they don't seem to have much metal in general, and I doubt a rubber tree was sent up there." Ojiro said.
"Don't act like Luffy would be absolutely invincible to Enel." Aiwaza criticized them. "I'm sure Enel would have his own weapons to use, and even if he doesn't, electricity can conduct heat."
"Look, they're just trying to find hope in the situation." Toshinori said.
"I'm just trying to think of the possibilities here. Luffy can't be the creative one around here."
Enel commented on how man replaced the fear of nature with God to flee from the terror he could not comprehend, that all supernatural phenomena are acts of God. The disasters from the heavens; they are him.
"He really does have a god complex." Toshinori said.
"What clued you in on that?" Hizashi dryly said, though he does admit that a man like Enel is truly dangerous.
Shoving the spear away, Kamakiri used a Breath Dial to cut both Enel and the giant tree behind him in half.
Students gasped and shivered from seeing Enel's grinning form, seeing that he's still alive, unfazed from being cut right in half. It just adds on another layer of threat onto him, a feeling that made them believe no one can beat Enel.
"Shit, Luffy's really the only chance to beat him." Jiro paled, dreading the day a similar foe ever appears in their world. They're really lucky that Denki is nothing like Enel.
Kamakiri tried to escape on his board in an attempt to find Wyper and warn him, but... his five minutes are up. It's Enel's turn.
"1,000,000 Volt Vari!" Just as Kamakiri cried out for Wyper, he was burnt to a crisp by his electricity.
Mouths gaped open as Denki paled, worried about what Enel's limit is. Though he has no clue what that limit it, one thing for sure: he bets that Enel could emit way more watts without getting short-circuited.
Enel cackled, though he noticed his electricity, which zapped his own men and Shandians.
Aisa screamed out, hearing their voices disappear.
Students gasped at his feat, at how he didn't seem to care about hurting his own men.
Enel could see that his electricity has traveled down the Milky Road, that twenty voices disappeared after the discharge.
He noticed the total of 25 people left, more that the expected, but he's confident that he'll corner them all slowly.
"I wouldn't want to be cornered by him." Mina shivered.
All the while, Luffy had found a gold necklace in the snake's stomach, though he tossed it aside, wishing for a yakiniku shop instead.
"To Be Continued."
"No, keep the necklace!" Ochako cried out to him.
"iro looked at Denki, who looked a bit paler, and said, "Hey, at least you're morally better than him."
"That's not really too hard to do." Katsuki rolled his eyes.
"Well, you're the one who had to point out their differences in power." Izuku sighed.
"Look! He started it by saying Five's better than me. It's karma! It's not my fault that the wannabe God just happened to have much better electric powers than his."
Denki groaned, dreading when Enel shows off more of his powers in the future.
Skipping episode 174's opening, recap, and title, the class could see Nami riding around on the waver. Pagaya claimed that Jet Dials went extinct hundreds of years ago, so he was shock to discover one on Nami's.
"It's impressive that dials could last that long." Shoji commented on.
Anyway, Pagaya wonders what they should do now since they originally planned to lead the Straw Hats to the end of Skypiea, but Nami suggested that, for now, they get the ship to the coast they'd agreed to meet at. She's sure the other four crew mates together are fine, but Aisa could tell that there is at most, two people groups, not four.
"Seriously, that's impressive." Jiro complimented her as if a way to comfort her. "She doesn't even need to plugged in anything."
Aisa was in tears over her ability since she's always afraid of the voices disappearing, though she told Nami she wasn't crying.
"Don't act so tough, kid." Aizawa rolled his eyes.
Conis told Nami where they've found Aisa, leading Nami to ask what she was planning to do. Honestly, Aisa doesn't know; she just don't want to do nothing.
The students frowned, seeing her in tears. It was a familiar feeling: a desire to help out anyway they can.
Hearing an explosive, Nami frowned, hoping the others are alright. Meanwhile, Luffy was in the snake's stomach, wearing a crown, starving.
"I'm sure you can find an exit at the end." Sato said.
"Let's just hope it's the 'favorable' exit." Shoji hoped as the others looked slightly green at the idea of Luffy going through the 'unfavorable' exit.
Wait, how do snakes poo? Denki thought.
Outside, with Zoro, he decided to have lunch until his lunch was interrupted by a South Bird.
"Oh good, he can tell where to go now." Momo said.
"Do you really think he would do that?" Jiro sighed.
"Honestly, no."
Zoro didn't like the South Bird looking his way, so he chowed down on his lunch as fast as he could, disappointing the bird.
His annoyance doesn't end there when the bird also started to follow him. Zoro told it to get lost, wondering which way its facing. Maybe it wants to take him on.
"Oh my god." Ojiro facepalmed as the others sighed at this.
"Did you forget its name?!" Jiro groaned.
Enel recounted his prediction of five people being left on this island with one hour left from his proclamation. One Shandian hid, planning to take him down, but Enel had already defeated him, leaving 24 survivors left.
"Seriously, that man's terrifying." Toro shivered in her pajamas. "He's, like, impossibly fast."
With Robin, Yama mocked her for being all talk as she struggled to move, barely having time to move away from Yama's 'Stomach Mountain.'
"She's having a hard time fighting him in general." Momo winced.
"I'm sure she'll figure something out." Todoroki hoped.
When Yama launched for an attack, Robin noticed the runic statue behind her.
"Veinte Fleurs! Calendula!" From her elbows, several arms came out, attempted to use it to shield Yama's kick, but she was sent flying into the ruins instead.
"Oh hey, that was cool. You can try to do that, Shoji." Denki tried to lighten up the mood, but he can't help wincing at the blow Robin took.
Yama mocked her for trying to protect this 'withered old city,' but Robin could see he has no respects for their ancestors. Yama proven her point by saying that he has no care for the past.
Yama released a powerful punch, but Robin was able to move away, recognizing that she has to get away from the ruins or else he'll destroy it.
She ran Yama destroying everything in his path. Robin thought back to Alubarna and how she though her goal was impossible to reach, but traveling with Luffy was able to show that the unspoken history is out there in the world.
"Not the ruins...!" Izuku gasped, seeing Yama continued his destruction upon the ruins.
Ruins crumbled and fell til Robin stopped running, tossing aside her bag and hat.
She can't forgive him, though Yama pointed out that the ruins don't belong to her, which she does admit to. Still, she doesn't want to talk with him.
"Oh, she's serious." Kirishima said, seeing her drop her hat.
"Of course she's serious. This is history we are talking about." Tokoyami said.
"Drop Mountain!" Yama jumped in the air, aiming for Robin.
"Treinta Fleurs!" From a sturdy vine, her arms sprouted out, grabbing onto his ankles, and swung him right into a tree. "Hang!"
Though that did damage to Yama, Robin could feel the painful strain from his weight.
"So she can feel the output of the other limbs." Izuku noted as the others sucked in a deep breath at her pain.
Robin dropped him, and Yama was angry, doing flips until he pulled out his sash.
Robin reached out her hand, and after the eyecatches, she used her disembodied arms to blind Yama and turned his sash at him, so that the dials are towards him.
When he crashes into the tree, blood spurt out from him, knocking him into near unconsciousness.
"Man, you really make it look simple with something like that." Sero said, though he cringed at the blood with the others.
"Still, it doesn't take away from the hard work it took to get her at that point." Iida said.
With several arms, Robin lifted Yama's head up, reminding him that he doesn't understand the value of the relics. Yama promised to never do it again, but Robin doesn't forgive him.
That seemed to give Yama enough wind to attempt another attack, but Robin grabbed his fingers, bending them backwards til cracks can be heard.
"You got to learn when to give up, fat ass!" Katsuki shouted at him as the others recoiled from the noise.
"Sometimes I forget that she worked with a villain before." Denki said.
"Gen Fleurs!" Her arms popped up from the ground, creating a clear path. "Delphinium!" Yama was rolled away until he was tossed off a cliff, but that wasn't the end as Robin's arms pushed back his arms, legs, and nonexistent neck. "Clutch!" A sickening crunch can be heard as he landed with a loud BOOM.
Robin put on her hat, commenting on how awful he is.
"He deserves it, but that crunch sound will haunt my nightmares." Jiro shivered.
Robin found the center of the city, though it doesn't match up with the map on the monument. She wondered if everything got broken up in the shock of the Knock Up Stream.
"I would be shocked if it didn't. It must have been like an earthquake getting it up there." Hizashi said.
Entering the building, she thought back to Alubarna and her desired to seek the Rio Poneglyph for the 'real history.' At the end of the tunnel, ruins of a city was laid out before her.
"Is... Is that the city of gold?" Ochako asked, hints of disappointment in her voice.
Robin wondered the same, but she'd found the size and topography are all completely different; something was unnatural about it.
Just as she barely climbed the stairs, Robin realized something, racing up.
"W-What is it!?" Mina eagerly asked, leaning forward.
Entering the top of the temple, Robin dug out the clouds with her knife til she'd found an area down below, showing that it goes deeper. She did thought it was strange that Blue Sea ruins had Island Clouds for ground. More of the city must be hidden under them.
The students looked fascinated by Robin's discovery, excited when she'd found light at the end of the tunnel.
At that end, Robin has discovered the grand city of Shandora.
"It's real!" Kirishima gasped.
It still doesn't look like it's made of gold. Ochako wanted to say, but held back on it when Robin had discovered a Poneglyph.
Reading it out loud, Robin remembered Noland's logbook had mentioned a giant gold bell. She could see that all the city's writings were burned; the city's history was eradicated, but a Poneglyph was carried into the city. Shandora fought and fell trying to protect it! That means the grand belfry, located at the center of the four altars, might contain text of the real history: The Rio Poneglyph.
"To Be Continued."
"She's one step closer to her dream." Izuku breathed out, feeling proud for the woman, and at the same time, becoming more interested in her goal with the others. Still, in the back of his mind, he wondered what will this real history reveal, and how it will change the world.
