The clouds on the horizon surged rapidly, and a red light streaked across the sky like a comet! Luffy could no longer tell where he was!
He couldn't even see Eneru's figure with his naked eyes!
But he didn't care. His Observation Haki could sense his whereabouts, and also the distant location of Upper Yard. That was enough!
What truly puzzled him was Eneru's speed!
Although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's speed was indeed world-class, it was impossible for Eneru, who hadn't reached the awakened level, to be so fast that Luffy couldn't even touch his clothes!
It could only mean that he was risking his life, desperately squeezing his life force to increase his speed!
"Trying to escape? Too bad my Observation Haki has already locked onto you!" Luffy smiled confidently, and the red light's speed suddenly increased!
"Hmm? He stopped!" Luffy's Observation Haki sensed that Eneru had stopped moving.
More than ten minutes later, he indeed saw Eneru, pale-faced and on the verge of collapse!
"It's over, Eneru!" Luffy's Armament Haki-covered arm burst into flames!
"12 minutes and 36 seconds, let's just call it 10 minutes!" Eneru muttered.
"What?" Luffy had an ominous premonition, but his fist had already been thrown!
Eneru extended his left hand and laughed maniacally: "I will die! But your friends, Angel Island, the Skypiean! Not a single one will escape!"
Eneru's left hand exploded with a bang, turning into a bloody mist, but he acted as if nothing had happened. The golden staff in his right hand, crackling with lightning, swung towards Luffy!
Luffy's pupils sharply constricted. He flickered, and in the next instant, Eneru's figure vanished!
His Observation Haki frantically activated. A blood-stained lightning bolt flashed in the distant clouds, and its target was... Upper Yard!
"Eneru!"
Dark red lightning filled the entire sky, murderous intent boiling! White steam emanated from Luffy's body.
Dark red lightning streaked across the sky!
Two lightning bolts would descend upon Upper Yard at different times!
...Meanwhile, far away in Upper Yard!
Upper Ruins!
Ohm swung the long blade in his hand, the blade lashing out at everyone like a whip!
One after another, the Skypiean fell to the ground!
"Damn it!" Wipper dodged the attacks of "Holy" and fired a cannon at Ohm, but it was blocked by a shield formed from the blade!
The blade, made of iron cloud, possessed the properties of a cloud itself!
The cloud shield transformed into a blade, blocking Gan Fall's spear! Then it turned into a whip, wounding Pierre!
Pierre and Gan Fall both fell to the ground!
Ohm rested the blade on his shoulder, looking at the struggling Wipper!
The long blade in his hand swung out, instantly deforming and extending! The sharp blade shot straight at Wipper.
There was no surprise! Wipper was struck, blood flowing freely.
"Cough cough!"
Wipper and Gan Fall were not at their full strength. Wipper had a bone in his foot broken by Sanji's kick, and Shura had pierced Gan Fall's shoulder, greatly reducing his strength to even hold a gun!
Even so, they still didn't unite, as if defeat was inevitable!
"Can't give up, it's been 400 years! We haven't been home for 400 years!" Wipper struggled to get up from the ground!
"Hehe! It's precisely because of such desires that there are wars! Die!" Ohm swung his blade again, the cloud-iron blade striking Wipper like a long snake!
Just at this moment, a figure stood in front of Wipper. The blade shattered the armor on his body, blood mixed with bone fragments splattering in the air, but... he ultimately blocked it!
The crack left by the blade on the ground ultimately did not cross that figure!
"Gan Fall, why?" Wipper's face became extremely contorted!
"Wipper, we Sky People are sorry for you! Because of our ancestors' greed, we occupied this place. You and your people have been forced to stay away from your homeland for four hundred years! But... the war will definitely end. I believe there must be a way for our two races to coexist peacefully! There must be!" Gan Fall, filled with remorse, determination, and hope... collapsed.
"Idiot! What are you talking about? What have you turned our people's four hundred years of wandering into? Still hoping, who do you think you are? Wake up!" Wipper angrily roared at Gan Fall, but large tears flowed uncontrollably!
That stubborn old man, who prayed for peace, came to their territory again and again with hope! And was driven away again and again, but he ultimately left an imprint on Wipper. He... also hoped for peace!
..."What's happening up there?" In the lower ruins, Zoro felt the chaos above.
"Why care about them? Gold is our goal!" Nami lay entirely on the golden artifacts, her eyes turning into Berries symbols!
Meanwhile, Robin was intently studying the ancient text in front of her!
"Since you're so curious, why don't we go up and see?" Sanji held a cigarette in one hand, looking very casual!
...Above,
Wipper struggled to dodge Ohm's slash! The pain in his right foot made him unable to exert force!
"Damn it! I must find an opportunity..." Wipper looked at the Impact Dial in his hand.
The next second, the stone wall collapsed, and a large dog appeared, forcing Wipper back with a punch!
In just an instant, a long, snake-like blade attack came. Even after throwing away his bazooka, his speed was far from enough. Before he could get close to Ohm, he was sent flying!
"Damn it, it's all that Blue Sea Man!"
"No, it should be my fault!"
Wipper smiled tragically, looking at Ohm, who was gradually approaching!
"I remember saying that this is the Iron Trial with a 0% survival rate! Why do you always fantasize, fantasize about breaking such myths, fantasize about being able to surpass God? Isn't it better to obediently embrace your salvation?" Ohm slowly raised his blade, but then suddenly paused, before bursting into laughter.
"Two more people who dare to challenge the myth!"
Hearing this, Wipper was bewildered, but soon, he saw them!
Two people, they flew above the iron cage! He had a strong impression of one of them.
"Diable Jambe!"
"One Sword Style - Lion's Song!"
The originally very sturdy iron net was blasted open with two large holes!
Suddenly, a long, snake-like blade light struck Zoro, but Zoro merely lifted his sword slightly, steadily parrying the blade!
"What?" Ohm quickly swung his blade, the cloud-iron blade attacking rapidly and irregularly!
But each time, Zoro was able to steadily block it!
'Is this the last of the Priests?' Zoro narrowed his eyes, looking at Sanji, who was walking the dog.
"Leave him to me, I haven't cut down a Priest yet?"
"OK, I've already beaten two anyway!" Sanji replied indifferently.
"You really deserve to die!" Zoro roared, attacking Ohm with his two swords!
Ohm's long blade couldn't get close to Zoro, but Zoro was moving closer to Ohm. For a moment, Ohm panicked!
Then, Zoro stopped! He took out his third sword! He muttered: "One Sword Style is Thirty-Six-Pound Phoenix, Two Sword Style is Seventy-Two-Pound Phoenix, how much is Three Sword Style?"
"Never mind, then..." Zoro took his stance, "Three Sword Style - One Hundred and Eight Pound Phoenix!"
Instantly, hundreds of blue slashes roared in unison. They intertwined, overlapped, and then blasted towards the terrified Ohm!
"Boom!"
A cloud of smoke dissipated,
Ohm, Priest of the Iron Trial, deceased!
"Holy" was also sleeping on the ground, covered in bumps.
"Who exactly are you?" The powerful Ohm was so easily annihilated! Zoro, apart from a bit of dust, looked as good as new!
"Pirates! We are pirates." Sanji lit a cigarette, calmly uttering the word!
"It's all over!" Wipper sighed.
"No, it's not over yet!" Zoro suddenly looked gravely at the sky covered by dark clouds! Above the sky, blue lightning bolts snaked around!
"In that case! Could Luffy be...?" Sanji looked back, a hint of worry in his tone.
"Tch, instead of worrying about that, why not think about how to deal with him!" Zoro drew his sword, and a cold wind blew through his pupils.
Only Wipper was completely bewildered!
The next instant, a blue lightning pillar, thick enough for three people to embrace, shot down from the sky!
A disheveled figure appeared!
The drums behind him had long disappeared. His chest had several large holes, and broken bones were vaguely visible! A third of his head was shattered, his entire left eye had vanished! Blood was still continuously flowing from his left arm!
The only thing unchanged was his indifferent blue right eye, still as arrogant, still looking down on the world!
"Eneru!" Everyone was surprised by his appearance, and equally surprised that he was still alive in such a state!
Suddenly, Wipper, dragging his heavily wounded body, rushed over, but Zoro and Sanji stopped. Their Observation Haki told them that Eneru was very dangerous now!
Indeed, the next second, Eneru instantly appeared in front of Wipper, pointing a finger! "Thirty Million Volt - Discharge!"
Wipper fell heavily to the ground!
Looking indifferently at Wipper, Eneru's palm faced upwards, pointing to the sky! Lightning passed from his body to the sky. The next moment, endless blue lightning fell from the dark clouds to the earth, like the end of the world!
"Hahahahaha!" Eneru was like a devil who had crawled out of hell.
"Humans never revere God? Fear itself is God!"
