The girl was startled by the sudden enthusiasm. She instinctively patted her chest before answering softly, "I... my name is Connie."

Yamato grinned and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Then we're friends from now on."

what?

Connie was taken aback. Is making friends this casual?

However, she sensed no malice in the other person's clear eyes, so she nodded gently and did not object to this sudden friendship.

She hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and asked, "You...you're from Qinghai, right?"

"Qinghai? What kind of place is that?" Yamato looked blank.

Kane stepped forward slowly and answered for her, "Yes, we just came from Qinghai and this is our first time setting foot on a sky island."

He then explained to everyone, "Qinghai is what Sky Island calls the vast ocean below us."

Connie bit her lip, as if making a decision, her voice urgent: "You...you'd better leave here quickly. If God finds out, you'll be in big trouble."

"god?"

Kane raised an eyebrow. "Is his name Enel?"

"You know him?"

Connie breathed a sigh of relief at first, then urged even more anxiously, "Since you know, you should understand even more that he is really powerful and has a terrible temper! Please leave quickly, I really didn't lie to you!"

Even though her expression was so sincere and even tinged with fear, the group of visitors from Qinghai in front of her seemed completely unfazed.

Only the little raccoon (Chopper's inner monologue: I'm a reindeer, a reindeer!!!) was clearly flustered for a moment, but was quickly calmed down by his companions.

Kane didn't directly respond to her advice, but instead asked, "When did Enel become your god?"

So much time had passed that he couldn't really remember when Enel destroyed Birka, came to the Sky Sanctuary, and defeated the previous god Gan Fall.

Connie didn't understand Kane's intention, but she still answered honestly, "Last year."

As she spoke, her tone turned somber: "Ever since he became the god of the Sky Island, he has been constantly having us guide you outsiders to the Holy Land to be punished."

“If we don’t listen to him, we will be the ones who get sanctioned.”

"So this so-called 'god' is really this despicable?!"

Upon hearing this, Yamato's anger flared instantly. "Tell me where he is! I'm going to go and beat him to a pulp!"

"No, he's very strong."

Just as Connie was about to continue persuading her new friend, she heard a wary shout from not far away.

"Connies, who are they?!"

Immediately afterwards, a humming sound, like a motorcycle engine, came from afar.

Kane looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man from the Sky Island riding a vehicle with motorcycle handlebars but a boat-like bottom, speeding towards them.

"Dad! What brings you here?" Connie waved.

The man named Pagaya stopped the Waver next to his daughter, his gaze cautiously sweeping over Kane and his group: "Your mother was worried because you hadn't come home for so long, so she sent me to check on you. Who are these people...?"

Connie hesitated for two seconds, then said softly, "Yes... it's a friend I just met."

"So that's how it is."

Pagaya nodded, then said almost exactly the same thing as Conis, his tone heavy: "If you had come last year, I might have been able to give you a warm welcome. But now... for your safety, please leave Sky Island as soon as possible."

Faced with the warning from the kind father and daughter, Kane slowly shook his head: "No, please take us to find Enel."

He gave a gentle smile: "Since Connie considers us friends, isn't it only natural for us, as friends, to help you solve this problem?"

"No, you don't know, Enel is really strong. He's practically an omniscient and omnipotent god."

Recalling Enel's abilities, Pagania swallowed hard, still feeling a lingering fear. "He can unleash lightning, but our attacks have no effect on him at all. The most terrifying thing is that as long as you are in the Kingdom of God, no matter what you say or do, he will know everything about you."

After recounting Enel's terrifying nature in detail, Pagania stood there stunned.

He noticed that the group of people from Qinghai in front of him remained calm, as if they were listening to a story that had nothing to do with them.

Why haven't you given any feedback?

That makes me look really silly.

Pagaya asked, bewildered, "Did you understand what I said?"

"Don't worry. I understand."

Kane's lips curled up: "In summary, Enel is a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and also possesses a wide range of Observation Haki."

Speaking of which, Enel's Observation Haki range is ridiculously wide.

The entire island was under his surveillance.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's enhancement to Observation Haki is still too strong.

Robin glanced at Kane instinctively.

Here comes Kane's strange intelligence capabilities.

She couldn't have gleaned so many details from Pagaya's description. Kane acted as if he had witnessed Enel's battle firsthand, practically revealing every single aspect of his opponent's abilities.

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

Big Bear frowned slightly: "That's one of the top fruits in the Logia type. I didn't expect it to appear on Skypiea."

"Is that amazing, Dad?" Bonnie asked.

"A achievement on par with that of a Navy Admiral."

With a simple analogy, Da Xiong made everyone understand the significance of this fruit.

Pagaia, thinking the other party had finally grasped the gravity of the situation, quickly urged again, "You understand now, right? Get out of here before the White Berets find you!"

“Don’t worry,” Kane said calmly. “Enel is no match for us.”

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and smiled, greeting it: "Hello."

Although Enel isn't like Voldemort—where people can sense his presence the moment his name is mentioned—if Enel hadn't realized that Kane and his crew had been on Angel Beach for so long, then he wouldn't deserve to call himself a god.

A few seconds ago.

On the island of the gods, atop the throne deep within the palace.

The man, who called himself God, leaned lazily against the wall and suddenly opened his half-closed eyes.

"Oh? Another new toy?"

Enel's lips curled into a playful smile, but then his eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing within them: "As children of God, how dare you disobey God's will? Then turn to dust."

"Divine retribution!"

His right hand transformed into a blinding bolt of lightning, instantly disappearing into the clouds above.

Let's go back to the present.

The once clear sky suddenly darkened, and a thick bolt of lightning tore through the clouds, striking Pagaya and his daughter with perfect accuracy.

"That's an amazing ability."

Kane examined the lightning bolt with great interest.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier Logia-type ability. Even from such a great distance, it can amplify Observation Haki with electromagnetic waves, achieving such precise strikes.

If a top-tier figure like Kaido were to do something like this, it wouldn't be surprising.

But he knew Enel's background all too well.

He's a self-taught guy who doesn't even know what Haki is and calls Observation Haki "Mind Net".

To achieve this level of accomplishment truly deserves the title of "remarkable".

If he's properly trained, he's guaranteed to be at least a top-tier player.

However, even if Enel were an Admiral now, he wouldn't be able to threaten him with this kind of move.

On the other side, the Pagaya father and daughter watched the lightning descend from the sky, feeling weak all over. They closed their eyes and silently waited for the moment their lives would end.

Just then, Kane's unhurried voice rang out:

"Big Bear".

boom!

Before the Pagaya father and daughter could react, a deafening explosion rang in their ears.

It’s over.

The father and daughter felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

But after waiting for a while, they still didn't feel anything.

Could it be that I died too quickly, and I couldn't even feel the pain?

They opened their eyes shakily and saw that the distant forest was in ruins, with many flames still burning. But the place where they stood was completely intact.

"What is this?" Pagaya swallowed hard.

"Don't worry." Big Bear slowly put his glove back on his right hand. "I've already swatted away the lightning."

The lightning strike just now may have seemed terrifying, but it was no match for a master of his caliber.

"what?!"

At the same time, Enel, deep inside the palace, suddenly opened his eyes wide, his previous lazy demeanor completely gone.

His own "divine retribution" failed?

No, it wasn't just a missed opportunity; it was something that was casually slapped away by that tall, seemingly taciturn man with his palm.

This was the first time something like this had happened since he gained his abilities.

After a brief silence, Enel suddenly raised his hand to cover half of his face, and a suppressed, then increasingly loud and cheerful laugh came from between his fingers: "Yehahaha... Interesting, getting more and more interesting."

"Finally, a batch of durable and fun toys has arrived!"

The laughter stopped abruptly. He lowered his hand and shouted to the guards of the Divine Guard standing outside the room:

"Someone! Go and summon the Four Divine Officials to me!"

The show is about to begin!
