Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"By the way, Dragon, I'll take on the task of communicating with the ruler of the Sky Island later. If the communication fails, you'll take over the rest. We'll divide the work, okay?"

"Very reasonable," Dragon replied coldly.

"Oh, right..."

Yann changed the subject, saying, "I don't think you gave a wedding gift when I got married."

Completely surprised that Yern would bring up this issue, Dragon's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Should I add it?"

"No need for that, it would be too formal..."

After a pause, Yann continued, "How about this? If we manage to get any valuable loot from the Sky Island's ruler later, it's all mine. What do you say?"

Finally, Yann sighed helplessly and said...

"The cost of baby formula is indeed a problem; we have to start saving little by little in advance."

Dorrag, who had been hesitating and suspected that Yann might be up to something, couldn't bring himself to refuse after hearing this.

[Chapter 291 God Enel]

At this moment, Enel, through the "Mind Network" formed by combining his "Rumble-Rumble Fruit" ability with his Observation Haki, was listening to the casual conversation between Yann and Dragon, and even their discussion about distributing the spoils of war.

Enel, who had been looking down on the Qinghai people and waiting for them to go through layers of trials and tribulations before finally reaching him, couldn't help but look rather ugly.

"A man from Qinghai has trespassed into the realm of the gods, uttering arrogant words and showing contempt for the divine..."

The next moment, Enel slowly stood up from the golden throne, walked step by step to the outside of the temple, and looked down at the sanctuary below, which was made of ordinary soil that was a hundred times more precious than gold on the Sky Island.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Yann and Dragon, who were about to reach the Sanctuary but could not be seen in sight, were incredibly clear in Enel's "Mind Network".

"You are not qualified to undergo the trial; die in the judgment of the gods!"

The next moment, one of Enel's arms instantly transformed into lightning and shot into the sky.

"Boom!"

Almost instantly, a terrifying pillar of lightning descended from above towards Yann and Dragon.

"Again?"

At the same time, Aon, who was also locking onto Enel with his Observation Haki, immediately sensed that Enel was launching that long-range lightning attack again.

"Don't be so ungrateful. Can't you really tell the difference between the strong and the weak by now?"

Immediately, Yann raised his hand upwards.

"Binding Spell Number Eighty-One: Severing the Void!"

Just as Dragon, whose Observation Haki was slightly slower than expected, sensed the arrival of the lightning, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared above Dragon and Yann's heads.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded, and terrifying lightning bolts shot out in all directions.

……

Within the Sanctuary, the four priests, who were following Enel's orders and preparing for the so-called "Trial of the Gods," looked in surprise at the terrifying pillar of lightning that suddenly descended.

"That is?!"

"Did God intervene personally?"

"It seems that those two Qinghai men have thoroughly angered the gods."

"What a pity, the carefully prepared 'Trial of the Gods' is going to go to waste."

In the eyes of the four priests, Enel, who wields the lightning that represents the power of punishment and destruction and is called "God", is invincible to some extent!

Now that God has taken things seriously and has given those two Qinghai people "divine punishment," the outcome is already predetermined.

"It's over, there's no more fun."

The four priests sighed helplessly the whole time, preparing to leave Enel's side from their respective "Trials of the Gods" areas.

However, the next moment, a pillar of azure lightning suddenly burst forth from the direction of Enel's "Divine Judgment," crashing down with overwhelming force towards the enormous vines that housed the temple at the center of the Sanctuary.

"What?! Thunder... the power of thunder?"

"Why? Isn't thunder the power of the gods?"

"Could it be... that the man from Qinghai also possesses the ability to control lightning?"

"Impossible! How could someone from Qinghai possess such divine power?"

The four priests, who had already completely submitted to Enel's lightning power and worshipped and venerated the power of lightning, suddenly felt as if their worldview had collapsed.

Not only the four priests, but even Enel, who was originally above the Sanctuary, was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Enel even forgot to defend against the enormous azure lightning pillar released by Yann, allowing it to pierce through half of the Holy Domain before striking the root of the massive vine that had grown from the Holy Domain and was thousands of meters tall.

"boom!"

The enormous vine, so thick and strong that it grew for thousands of meters without needing to cling to anything and could even support a golden temple above it, swayed like never before.

This blow pierced right through the center of the vine's root, causing the incredibly thick vine to begin to tilt little by little.

"It seems we've gone a bit too far. Will these vines die?"

Yaen lowered his hand, which had just unleashed "Hado No. 88: Flying Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon," and watched as the towering vine slowly drooped down, saying with a hint of helplessness.

Originally, Arn's intention was simply to lure Enel out using this method.

After all, as the user of the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit," Enel was unaware of the existence of Devil Fruits, so he arrogantly believed that the lightning power he controlled was a symbol of God, which led to his arrogance and conceit growing to the point that he called himself a god.

The lightning released by Yann through "Hado" should have been enough to arouse Enel's fear and curiosity, drawing him out.

Otherwise, if Enel kept launching lightning attacks beyond visual range, and Arn kept getting struck by lightning every two steps, those who knew would understand that it was caused by a Devil Fruit user, while those who didn't would think that Arn was some kind of scumbag who was punished by the heavens.

Dorag, who was standing to the side, was also a little stunned. He pointed to the arcs of electricity left in the air by the lightning that Yann had just released and asked.

"Chief of Staff, aren't you a 'Sakura-Sakura Fruit' user? This lightning..."

Ok?

Did I not tell Dorag about my true abilities?

It seems I really didn't say that!

Or rather, aside from Robin, who initially obtained the "Hollow Soul Reaper," who probably had some guesses, even Hancock and Baby-5 weren't entirely clear, let alone other Hueco Mundo members and outsiders.

Immediately, Yann pointed to his mask and said truthfully, "The Hueco Mundo Organization."

Dorag immediately understood and said.

"Is it exactly like Corazon's situation? The blessing of the Lord of Hueco Mundo..."

Just then, a voice filled with arrogance and apprehension rang out in front of Yann, accompanied by thunder.

"Qinghai man, what Hueco Mundo Lord? Do you mean that the power that the other Qinghai man just used, which violated the realm of gods, was bestowed by the Hueco Mundo Lord?"

Enel slowly emerged from his lightning elemental form, revealing his true form. His skin was as white as a woman's, his upper body was bare, and his head was wrapped in a white turban. He had a three-dimensional nose somewhat similar to Robin's, and his long earlobes adorned with golden earrings were quite striking. His dead fish-like eyes exuded arrogance and laziness.

The most striking feature is the four large drums with three-comma patterns on his back, and the golden staff he holds in his hand.

"Are you the ruler of the Sky Island?" Dragon asked after looking him over.

"I am a god, and my god's name is Enel," Enel said arrogantly.

[Chapter 292 The Melee Mage Who Manipulates Gale Force]

Enel then continued in a commanding tone, “Answer God’s question, Qinghai man.”

At this moment, Dragon's expression had become completely serious. He carefully examined Enel's appearance again and asked, "A Celestial Dragon?"

"What Celestial Dragons?" Enel's tone gradually became impatient.

Not a Celestial Dragon?

From Enel's attitude, Dragon instantly got the answer he wanted.

However, this left the revolutionary leader, Dragon, somewhat bewildered, completely unable to figure out the origins of this self-proclaimed god.

It should be noted that in this vast ocean, the so-called "gods" are generally only the high and mighty Celestial Dragons.

Besides, only the mysterious and unimaginably powerful Lord of Hueco Mundo has recently been quietly given the title of "god".

Apart from the Celestial Dragons and the Lord of Hueco Mundo, almost no one in the entire ocean would directly confront the World Government's bottom line and foundation, or loudly proclaim that "they are gods."

Perhaps it's not impossible, but it's possible that they might utter a few words smoothly one moment and then be wiped out by the World Government's intelligence agency the next.

Noticing the way Dragon looked at Enel as if he were an idiot, Yan quickly took on the task of "communication" and began to explain to Enel.

"The so-called Celestial Dragons are the race known as 'gods' in what you call Qinghai."

Enel immediately frowned, as if he had sensed a formidable enemy, and said, "So, besides myself, there are other pantheons above the Azure Sea?"

"No, most of the Celestial Dragons are just remnants of the sea; they're so weak they get out of breath after walking just a few steps," Yann explained this common knowledge.

In an instant, Enel's face revealed an unusually arrogant smile as he said, "So the god of the Blue Sea is this weak?"

After a pause, Enel continued.

"Qinghai people, your answer is very valuable. I was considering whether to attack Qinghai before, but now that I understand the weakness of the gods who belong to Qinghai, I can confidently prepare to incorporate Qinghai into my territory."

……

Ya'en.

At this moment, even Yann couldn't keep up with the thought process of this immature young man.

Does he not even consider the possibility that he himself is not a so-called "god"?

For a moment, Yann had been thinking about whether it was possible to recruit Enel into the Revolutionary Army, considering his combat power as a user of the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit." Now, he completely gave up on that idea.

'Or... how about we just trick this blockhead into leaving Skypiea and sending him to attack the World Government?'

Thinking of this, Yann deliberately provoked Enel and said, "Enel, the waters of the Blue Sea are very deep. You probably can't handle it alone. You should just give up."

Enel's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his arrogant and languid demeanor and said, "Under my divine lightning, everything will instantly turn to nothingness..."

Enel paused, his gaze fixed firmly on Yann, and said.

"As for you, a man from Qinghai, you only need to explain how you obtained that thunderous power that violated the realm of gods. Given the valuable information you just provided, I may consider leaving you with a complete corpse."

How did the topic end up back on me again?

Moreover, even if you answer the question, is the best outcome only a complete corpse?
