Boom!
The Desert Rose shot out of the tunnel and landed on the White Sea, splashing a large amount of water.
"Oho! Is this Skypiea? It's amazing!" Nami shouted excitedly from the bridge.
Before their eyes, an island rested on layers of white clouds, like a fairy-tale city in the sky. Approximately one-third of the island was covered in forest and actual soil. If viewed from a higher altitude, this area resembled the upper part of a skull, complete with eye sockets.
"This is the part of Jaya Island that was shot up into the sky by the Knock Up Stream! The City of Gold is here!" Auguro introduced the origin of the sky island to his crew.
"The original sky island had no soil, but because Jaya was launched up, the sky residents took it as a gift from the heavens. To fight for the land, the Skypiea people and the Shandian (Shandia) tribe from Jaya battled for decades, and the Skypiea people ultimately gained control of Jaya's land."
"This small island is now called God's Island, where they built a temple for the ruler of Skypiea. The Golden Bell and the Poneglyph are inside that temple!"
As Auguro finished his brief introduction, the Desert Rose docked by the beach. Immediately, a Sky Island guard approached the port. He looked like an ordinary person but had two small wings on his back.
Holding a spear, he looked at Auguro's group and said, "You are Blue Sea People! The entry fee is 1,000,000,000 Extol (Esu) per person!"
"What? One Billion?" Nami, ever sensitive to numbers as a treasure hunter, roared instantly.
"Are you trying to rob us?"
The guard snorted proudly. "These are the rules set by the Great God! If you refuse to comply, the fine upon capture is tenfold! I advise you to be sensible!"
"God?"
Hearing the guard's words, Soi Fon sneered dismissively. "A mere ruler of a small island dares to call himself a God?"
She had heard the Soul King clearly: the ruler of Skypiea resided on God's Island! If the opponent were a genuine God, the Soul King would certainly clarify out of respect for an equal existence.
Sure enough, Auguro concurred.
"Indeed! He is merely a user of the Logia-type Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit). Due to his ignorance of the sky island, he deluded himself into thinking he was a god."
Hearing this, the crew understood. He was just a narcissist living in a well!
Robin, however, looked worried.
"I've heard of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! It is said to be the strongest Logia Fruit in 800 years! Even stronger than the fruits of the Marine Admirals!"
"If we anger him, we might find ourselves in trouble!" Soi Fon is strong, but is she guaranteed to win against an Admiral-level threat?
Auguro gave her a strange look.
"You are right that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is very powerful. But if you're asking how strong Enel is, you might be disappointed!"
Robin didn't immediately grasp Auguro's meaning.
The guard, on the other hand, was furious.
"Insolent Blue Sea People! How dare you call out the name of God!"
"You have committed the sin of blasphemy! Come with me immediately to the temple to face judgment!" With that, he pointed his spear at Auguro.
Instantly, Soi Fon, Kuchiki Rukia, and the other Shinigami flashed with icy killing intent.
Thud!
The terrifying Reiatsu instantly poured out, crushing the guard to the ground, leaving him completely immobilized.
"You dare to point a weapon at the Soul King! A false god dares to offend the true God King!" Soi Fon spoke coldly, and the heavy spiritual pressure instantly intensified. The guard felt his body sinking into the ground.
"Daring!"
Just then, a golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at Soi Fon like divine punishment.
Bang!
A charred crater was left on the ground, but Soi Fon's figure had already vanished from the spot.
"A mere mortal dares to challenge the authority of God!"
From the sky, a man wearing a white turban, with earlobes reaching his chest, four Taiko drums on his back, and holding a golden staff, slowly floated down.
"You are Enel, the one who calls himself God?" Soi Fon looked him up and down, her voice full of disdain.
"Mortals truly cannot comprehend the greatness of a God! I am the incarnation of lightning; I was born a God!"
Enel's body didn't move, yet he instantly turned into a bolt of lightning, shooting toward Soi Fon.
"Before God, all your resistance is futile!"
"Lightning Bolt!"
Enel's wrist instantly turned into a straight bolt of lightning, aimed right at Soi Fon's forehead.
However, the fierce strike passed directly through Soi Fon's body.
An afterimage? Enel was stunned.
"Which way are you looking?"
Soi Fon's cold voice came from behind Enel's head. She held Suzumebachi (Wasp) reversed, slashing toward Enel's back neck. However, Enel stood still, letting the blade sink into his neck.
Zzzt!
Enel's back neck dissolved into an electric arc. The blade of Suzumebachi failed to cause any damage.
"As expected, it won't hit his physical body! Then try this!"
"Jinjō ni Satsusai! Suzumebachi (Kill in Two Steps! Wasp)!"
The Shikai-released Suzumebachi resembled a queen bee's stinger, affixing itself to Soi Fon's right middle finger. Soi Fon immediately stabbed toward Enel's back.
Enel saw this and sneered mockingly.
"I am the embodiment of lightning, a true God! The attacks of a mere mortal cannot even touch me!"
The facts were as Enel predicted. Soi Fon's stab still didn't connect with a solid body, and her arm was instead afflicted by a paralyzing current from the elementalization.
"No, this won't work against a Logia-type Devil Fruit user!" Robin's face was filled with worry. Soi Fon was immensely powerful, but it was meaningless if she couldn't hit the enemy!
"No!"
However, Auguro shook his head, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.
"It worked!"
On Enel's back, a black butterfly pattern was visible to all.
Hōmonka (Wasp Crest)!
Although she failed to damage Enel, the special ability of the Zanpakutō had indeed taken effect! If elementalization defended against a physical attack, Soi Fon's Shikai was a genuine soul attack!
"Hmm? What is this? What trick are you playing?" Enel glanced at the pattern on his back, his face instantly darkening. Although his Mantra (Observation Haki) had given no warning, indicating the pattern was harmless, being touched by a mortal was a great insult for a God!
"I will hang you in front of the temple and punish you with the Ten Thousand Lightning Bolts!" Enel roared, and terrifying electricity surged around him.
"Discharge: 20,000,000 Volts!"
A colossal column of lightning shot toward Soi Fon. Soi Fon had already used Shunpo to dodge the attack the moment Enel raised his hand. Instead of retreating, she advanced, killing her way to Enel's side.
"Audacious!" Enel was enraged. He, a true God, was repeatedly offended by a mortal!
Instantly, he transformed into lightning, launching a counterattack against Soi Fon!
