Noah rushed in first, swinging his sword fast.
CLANG! Eneru blocked with his weapon and pushed him back.
Noah darted around him and slashed again.
Eneru twisted to avoid the strike and countered.
Noah raised his blade just in time to block the incoming strike.
Noah used vectors to push the air, letting him move in the sky like he was on the ground.
They moved fast—slash after slash, parry after parry.
Noah swung from the side; Eneru blocked and countered.
Eneru struck downward; Noah slid under the attack and swung upward with a powerful slash.
CRACK! Lightning burst around them.
Eneru lunged forward. Noah met him with a swinging slash.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Their swords rang through the clouds, spinning around each other.
Noah slashed from behind; Eneru twisted mid-air and blocked.
"Heaven's Judgment."
A giant lightning arrow shot straight at Noah.
Noah lifted his hand—and instantly, a shimmering barrier of vectors appeared in front of him.
"Vector Manipulation — Absolute Reflection!"
The lightning arrow slammed into the barrier and bounced back toward Eneru.
Eneru waved his hand and shattered the redirected attack into sparks.
NOAH — [If I focus enough, I can turn the vectors around me into flames]
A burst of fire erupted from his sword.
Vector Manipulation — Dragon Flame!
Eneru dodged the flames, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Noah surged forward, swinging his sword, flames shooting out with each strike, forcing Eneru to keep dodging.
They spun through the air, weapons clashing —strike after strike, block after block.
Noah slashed from above; Eneru twisted and countered.
Noah slashed again; Eneru parried, sparks flying everywhere.
Noah twisted mid-air and swung again, pushing Eneru back.
Eneru struck with a spinning attack; Noah jumped over it and countered with a backhand slash.
BOOOOM!
A massive shockwave ripped through the sky.
Both fighters were thrown back, spinning and tumbling through the clouds.
Until they crashed on Eneru's ship, both panting.
The Ark Maxim suddenly tilted, throwing Noah and Eneru off balance.
Emma and Nami burst through the front door, sliding onto the deck.
"Noah! We need to leave! This ship is going to fall!" Emma shouted.
"What did you do?!" Eneru yelled. In an instant, he appeared behind Emma and swung his trident at her.
"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" Luffy shouted. His fist slammed into Eneru, sending the god crashing into the side of the Ark Maxim.
"I won't let you hurt my friends!" Luffy shouted, standing firm.
Eneru slowly got up, laughing.
"You're brave, Straw Hat," Eneru said, "but do you really think you can beat a god?"
"I don't care if you're a god! I'll stop you!" Luffy shouted.
Lightning shot at Luffy. He bent his rubber body and dodged.
"Gum Gum Pistol!" Luffy punched at Eneru. Sparks flew as his fist hit Eneru's trident.
Eneru fired another bolt. Luffy twisted, stretching his body to avoid it.
"Gum Gum Gatling!" Luffy fired many punches in a row. Eneru blocked some with his trident but Luffy's fists kept coming.
Eneru swung his trident, creating a golden cage around Luffy. Luffy slammed his fist into it. The cage cracked.
Eneru struck with a big lightning bolt. Luffy ducked and bounced back.
"Gum Gum Rifle!" Luffy stretched his arm and punched Eneru hard.
Eneru grinned as he caught Luffy's punch. With a flick of his staff, the metal melted, covering Luffy's hand in a huge golden ball. Luffy struggled, but he couldn't move.
Eneru kicked him hard. Luffy tumbled across the deck, unable to free himself.
Emma attacks Eneru.Eneru zaps her.
Nami attacks with her Clima-Tact, but it does nothing.
"Time to end this," Eneru said, raising his hand. Lightning crackled from the clouds above.
"Say goodbye to Skypiea… and everyone on it!" Eneru shouted.
"ENERU!" Luffy shouts. "I'm going to stop you!"
Eneru chuckled. "How will you? You can't even move your hand. Pathetic."
Noah looks around the ship and notices a giant golden bell at the center of the deck.
NOAH – [This must be what Cricket told us about]
Noah touched the bell.
"The City of Gold… and the lives of everyone on this island belongs to me," Eneru said.
"Luffy, attack me," Noah said.
"What? Why would I?" Luffy asked.
Luffy leaps into the sky and starts spinning his hand.
"Gum Gum Giant Golden Rifle!"
"What are they doing?" Nami said, worried.
"I can see you've both lost your mind," Eneru said, laughing sinisterly.
Luffy attacks Noah with all his might.
As Luffy's attack reaches an inch from Noah's face…
"Vector Manipulation – Reverse Flying Thunder God!"
Blip!
Eneru suddenly appeared in front of the attack.
"This is going to hurt," Eneru said, confused.
Luffy's attack hits Eneru, sending him crashing into the golden bell.
The bell falls off the ship. As it falls, it rings throughout the entire Sky Island.
The golden ball cracks and falls apart, freeing Luffy's hand.
"Old man Cricket… the City of Gold is here!" Luffy shouts.
The ship starts to fall.
Noah grabs Luffy and the others.
"Vector Manipulation – Flying Thunder God!"
Blip!
They suddenly appear beside Wyper and the others, safe.
Noah sheathed his sword . "Just do it."
Luffy leaps into the sky and stretched his hand back.
"Gum Gum Giant Golden Rifle!"
"What are they doing?" Nami asked, worried.
"I can see you've both lost your mind," Eneru said, laughing sinisterly.
Luffy attacks Noah with all his might.
As Luffy's attack reaches an inch from Noah's face…
"Vector Manipulation – Reverse Flying Thunder God!"
Blip!
Noah disappeared and Eneru suddenly appeared in front of the attack.

The bell falls off the ship. As it falls, it rings throughout the entire Sky Island.
