He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

Aren't you planning to leave?

Ganford's pupils contracted as he finally heard the answer he had been waiting for for many years.

After being defeated by Enel, he continued to search for a way to save Skypiea, one of which was to seek help from the Blue Sea people.

He is outnumbered and needs to find a strong person to help him.

That's why he approached the people of Qinghai as a mercenary, saving them time and time again at a low price.

But things backfired.

Over the years, he has not found anyone willing to save the Sky Island.

Guxin and others were among the first group.

"Alright! I'll take you to Apayado, where that disgusting 'god' is!" Ganford said decisively.

Normally, Enel could have launched a second attack while they were talking, but strangely he didn't.

Perhaps after hearing what Ikkyou said, Enel decided to let them pass by obediently, and then defeat them head-on.

"Are you going to Apayado? But..." Connie's voice trembled slightly as she tried to dissuade Guxin and the others, saying it was too dangerous.

God is invincible.

Under Enel's long rule, this idea had been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Skypiea inhabitants, who dared not harbor any thoughts of resistance.

Even though they had just defeated [Divine Retribution], most people still didn't believe they could defeat [God].

She couldn't bear to watch Gu Xin and the others go to their deaths.

"Trust us, we're not that weak," Chopper said earnestly, waving his hoof.

Gu Xin can understand that too.

Connie hadn't read the original book, so she naturally didn't know who was on his ship. If she had known, she probably wouldn't have said that.

His crew members are all monsters.

Admiral Fujitora laughs!

Van Augur, the sniper and squad leader of the Four Emperors, Blackbeard!

Chopper, the Straw Hat crew's doctor who went head-to-head with Big Mom!

Vivi, the desert princess who possesses the blood of a Celestial Dragon and is a member of the D clan!

Robin, one of the main characters nicknamed the "Child of the Devil" and a survivor of Ohara!

With his status as a Shichibukai and his strength as a Yonko commander, this lineup is incredibly powerful. How could they possibly fear a mere "yellow-haired auntie" who plays with electricity?

Enel was indeed incredibly strong, but he was killed off in the original story; otherwise, he would never have been defeated by Luffy.

But no matter how strong he is, one person, Yi Xiao, is enough to defeat him.

Besides them, Urki was also quite interested in the matter, so he volunteered to join them. The group marched towards Apayado amidst the complex expressions of the Sky Islanders.

Apayado, adjacent to Angel Island, is the only Sky Island with real soil. It is a place forbidden to mortals and is known as the "Kingdom of the Gods."

Its true identity is a part of Gaya Island's terrain that was carried to an altitude of 10,000 meters by the Chongtian Ocean Current, and the Golden Village Shangdora is located here.

In the golden city of Shandora, there is a giant bean vine. If you follow it to its top, you will reach the temple of the gods where Enel is located.

To save trouble, Guxin simply had Yixiao take the Victini and fly over from the air, heading straight for Shandora in the center of the island.

Four hundred years later, the golden city of Shandora is now covered in vines, having endured many battles, and its buildings are tilting.

This place holds a vast amount of gold, which Enel used to forge the [Ark Maxim].

The immediate task is to defeat Enel; Gushin plans to collect the gold later.

"Be careful, everyone! There's a giant serpent lurking in Shandora that will attack any outsiders!" Ganford warned.

boom--

Suddenly, the sound of a huge object being dragged rang out.

Behind a building, a gigantic snake head suddenly emerged, its two enormous eyes fixed on them, filled with vigilance, and its tongue flicking out.

hiss--

Then, it twisted its body, revealing its entire form, in an attempt to frighten everyone away from Shandora.

It is 200 meters long and weighs about 40,000 tons.

It is none other than Nora, the [Lord of the Sky] who protects Shandora!

"It has appeared!" Ganford said with a serious expression.

This is an enormous creature. Can they defeat it?

"My God! Are there really snakes this big in the world?!" Chopper exclaimed in surprise. He had never imagined that such a creature existed.

With such a massive body, even a casual movement could cause enormous destruction.

If I could grow bigger, it would greatly increase my combat power.

Chopper thought to himself.

Nora, the Lord of the Sky, Guxin remembers that this giant serpent is relatively docile and will not attack others unless provoked, but it will be hostile to those who enter Shandora.

There's no need to kill them.

However, since it's blocking the way, let it have a good sleep.

He doesn't have much time to waste right now.

The next moment, Guxin's gaze sharpened, and a terrifying shockwave erupted from his body. Conqueror's Haki surged forth, and black and red lightning danced in the air, as if a giant mountain had descended upon Nora!

boom!

Nora felt dizzy and her body was stiff.

It had never been so afraid before.

I've never felt this way, not even when facing the lightning man who took Shandora's gold!

A few breaths later, Nora's eyes rolled back, and her huge body crashed heavily to the ground with a deafening sound, raising clouds of dust.

It was stunned by the overwhelming aura.

After a period of exploration, Gushin has been able to control the scope of Conqueror's Haki to a certain extent, such as releasing it only on a specific individual without affecting others.

Ganful's pupils contracted, and he clicked his tongue in amazement: "The giant serpent fell in just an instant? No wonder it's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Now he has even more confidence in defeating Enel.

Soon, they arrived at the giant bean vine.

The Victini was docked here, with Robin, Vivi, and others left to guard it.

Guxin, Yixiao, and Ganful flew straight up into the sky and reached the top.

I have to admit, the ability to smile is really useful.

In fact, superpowers can also achieve this: controlling objects with telekinesis.

Finally, they arrived at the temple of the gods!

Swah——

The three landed on the open ground in the center of the temple. At the far end of their vision was Enel, who sat arrogantly on his throne.

He wore a pure white, tight-fitting cap, beneath which was a head of large, curly blond hair.

She has thick black eyebrows, gray-blue eyes, and most notably, long earlobes that reach her chest, adorned with diamond-shaped gold earrings inlaid with rubies.

"Hahaha! The filthy insect has finally come before me!"

"So, are you ants ready to kneel down and apologize?!"

Enel's pale face was full of contempt, and his words revealed his disdain for Gushin and the others.

"You... consider yourself a god?" Guxin asked expressionlessly.

"certainly!"

Enel stood up, his eyes filled with absolute self-confidence and contempt and indifference towards Gushin and the others.

"I am God! Almighty God!"

"You monkeys of Qinghai, how dare you defy divine might! I will make you experience the ultimate pain!"

"Before God, all your struggles are in vain!"

"Kneel down!!"
