"Where are we?" Chopper asked.
"I don't know, but it looks like there's an altar ahead!" Usopp said, looking at the sacrificial altar in the distance.
Ahead was a vast expanse of white, like a sea!
And above the Sky Sea, a tall altar stood, with fins floating on the surface of the sea. It was not hard to see that they were sky sharks—Sky Sharks (Image).
"It looks so dangerous, let's go somewhere else!" Usopp swallowed, his face pale as he spoke!
"O-okay!" Chopper agreed wholeheartedly!
Just then, a man sitting cross-legged on the altar opened his eyes. His chest had a large hole, and his face was extremely pale! It was none other than Shura, the Priest who had taken a punch from Luffy due to his stubbornness! (Image)
"Blue Sea people? They look very weak!" Shura looked at the sky, which was already covered in dark clouds, only occasionally flashing with blue-white and dark-red light!
"Eneru-sama will definitely win! These Blue Sea people... must die!" Shura's face was filled with hatred. He rode his Three-Foot Bird, cross-legged, holding a long trident, and charged towards the two!
"Blue Sea people, prepare to die!" Shura roared!
"Ah!" The screams of the two echoed through the nearby forest!
...Meanwhile, at the Old God's Cabin!
Conis played the harp, its joyful melody making the vibrant Old God's Cabin feel like a fairyland!
"How is it? Isn't it wonderful?" Gan Fall said. "This year's pumpkin harvest is excellent!"
"I don't know how to thank you enough!" Upper Yard local said, looking flustered. "I'm sorry, even a commoner like me is receiving your care!"
"Since you and your daughter firmly stand with the Straw Hat, you will be treated as accomplices and face death!" Gan Fall said, watering the pumpkins. "Besides, I'm just doing someone a favor!"
"How is Angel Island's harvest this year?" Gan Fall asked with concern.
"Very good!"
"Is that so? That's great!" He then served several cups of pumpkin juice to Upper Yard local. "This is juice squeezed from the pumpkins in my field! It tastes very good."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, then I won't be polite!" Upper Yard local said!
Meanwhile, Conis sat there, looking worried!
"In the Blue Sea, there's a group of people called pirates, who are criminals sailing on the blue ocean.
Although there are many types of pirates, their ships all fly a black skull flag!
Luffy and his group might be what you call pirates!" Gan Fall said.
"What? You mean they were criminals all along?" Upper Yard local was somewhat surprised!
"In any case, they are probably illegal in the Blue Sea!
No matter what world, there are always people who deviate from the so-called righteous path!
How are they any different from you now?
Are all the rules in the world correct?
And are those who go against them wrong?
Who can say for sure?
To give an extreme example, a war hero, if placed in a different era, would just be a murderer!
I also had such a friend, more than 20 years ago when I was still God.
He came here. He was a very straightforward and pleasant person! At the time, I really didn't want to part with him.
We, the Sky Dwellers, and the Skypiean, collectively known as the guerrillas, have been at war for many years.
The Skypiean are still challenging Eneru!
A legend has been passed down through generations on Sky Island since ancient times! Long ago, on the day the sacred Upper Yard was born, beautiful singing spread throughout the island! The battle between the Skypiean and the Sky Dwellers also began at that time!
That singing seemed to be a signal for battle!
Therefore, when we hear the singing again, it means the war will end.
The sacred place will definitely resound with singing again!" Gan Fall said, full of anticipation.
"Now the Straw Hat is fighting Eneru! I must go and help them! Let's go, Pierre!" Gan Fall rode Pierre straight towards the sacred Upper Yard!
...At the same time, at the sacrificial altar!
"Stop running, offer your lives to God!" Shura rode his Three-Foot Bird towards the man and the animal, thrusting a spear, and flames instantly shot out! Burning a large pit in the entire tree.
And the Three-Foot Bird also spat flames!
The flames rushed towards the frantically fleeing Chopper and Usopp!
"Damn it, run! Such a big fire!"
...The Skypiean and Gan Fall entered Upper Yard at the same time!
"Hmm?" Looking at Gan Fall rushing into Upper Yard, a bad feeling arose within him!
Then he quickly moved towards the depths of the forest!
The Skypiean engaged in battle with the Divine Soldiers!
Wipper directly took one out with a cannon shot!
"Tch, so-called gods are just useless fools!" Wipper said disdainfully!
Just then, the sky rumbled!
A blue beam of light shot straight down, aiming directly at Wipper!
"Boom!"
A large hole appeared before their eyes, and the already dark Wipper instantly turned into a lump of charcoal!
...Above the sky,
"What are you doing?" Luffy expressed great shock at Eneru's actions!
It turned out that Eneru had just heard Wipper cursing him, and rather than take a punch from Luffy, he chose to unleash a divine judgment!
Leaving him in such a sorry state now!
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Blue lightning surged from Eneru's skin into his heart, and Eneru became lively again!
"Sigh, another electrotherapy!" It must be said that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is truly comprehensive! Not only can it fight and flee, but its electrotherapy methods are at least 10 times stronger than Doflamingo's!
"However, how long can you sustain this method of restoring injuries by squeezing your life force?" Luffy said calmly!
One day! It only takes one day to deal with him!
Not defeat, but kill!
Eneru has already started to squeeze his own life. Once he fails, it won't be as simple as in the original story.
He must die!
"Less nonsense, if you have the guts, come and chase me!" Eneru transformed into lightning and sped away, leaving Upper Yard in an instant!
"Hmm? Running away isn't that simple!" Luffy turned into a red light and pursued him!
...And at this moment, a ring of fire covered Usopp and Chopper!
"Hahaha, now you can't run!" Shura held his long spear and thrust it out!
But it was blocked by another long spear!
Looking closely, it was the Old God Gan Fall who had arrived!
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Gan Fall, holding his long spear, fought fiercely with Shura!
Spear clashed against spear, producing intense sparks!
"Sky Knight!" (Chopper, Usopp)
"What a rare visitor!" Shura suddenly shook, and Gan Fall flew back onto Pierre's back!
"Cross-legged!" Shura also leaped onto the Three-Foot Bird's back!
Then the two began a fierce aerial battle!
"It's truly a match of equals, so let's get a little more serious. Pierre!" Gan Fall said calmly.
"Yay!" Pierre responded.
The two danced in the sky, their long spears clashing from time to time.
Creating ripples in the air!
Shura, holding a flaming spear, charged upwards, thrusting at Gan Fall!
But he dodged it, then placed a palm on Shura's chest!
Shura's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief!
"Shura, you're injured, you've become weaker!" Gan Fall said calmly, then!
"Boom!"
The power of the Impact Dial blasted him from high in the sky. Fortunately, the Three-Foot Bird arrived in time and carried Shura away!
"Bastard! Then let me show you what happens when you anger me! Trial of Ordeals: String! Activate!" Shura said furiously.
"What?" Gan Fall's eyes widened.
Then, the two quickly engaged in battle.
Their movements could no longer be caught by the naked eye; only the clashing of weapons and the explosive sounds of air could be heard!
In just an instant, the two had exchanged dozens of blows!
"I no longer harbor the illusion of being able to negotiate with you!"
"You're still so indecisive!"
The two rode their mounts, soaring and clashing in the air!
But in just an instant, both Gan Fall and Pierre were frozen in place!
"They fell for it!"
Shura, riding cross-legged, charged over!
The flaming long spear directly pierced Gan Fall's shoulder!
"Damn it, what did you do?" Gan Fall was furious and confused, 'Why? Why can't I move all of a sudden?'
"That's...!" Usopp had a slight realization, putting on his goggles. "I see, so it's the Trial of Ordeals: String!"
"Gan Fall, prepare to die!" Shura fiercely thrust at Gan Fall's heart!
Just then, "Gunpowder Star!"
A spark flew straight towards Gan Fall,
"Sky Knight!"
The flames burned away the cloud ropes around Gan Fall,
Soon, Gan Fall found himself able to move!
He quickly dodged the piercing spear, then placed a hand on Shura's chest,
"Go to hell!"
"Boom!"
The Impact Dial glowed,
Priest of the Trial of Ordeals: String - Shura, dead!
It turned out that Shura had been weaving a net of cloud ropes, as thin as hair but incredibly tough, during his repeated clashes with Gan Fall, making Gan Fall unable to move!
But luckily, Usopp's Gunpowder Star burned through the cloud ropes!
