Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"Why is that straw hat kid still standing there? How did he manage to do that?"

"Am I really dreaming? He actually survived God Enel's divine retribution!!"

"And he seems completely unharmed! Is that really something an ordinary person could do?"

"What...is going on? Could that guy be...a god too?"

While the White Berets were shocked, Connie and Pagaya were equally stunned.

"Wow...Wow! Mr. Luffy is truly amazing! He actually withstood the punishment of heaven!"

"It's so good that Mr. Luffy is alright!"

Not only them, but the Straw Hat crew was also extremely shocked, but even more so, they were pleasantly surprised.

"That...that's...Luffy?!"

"Thank goodness! Luffy's alright!"

"I knew that guy would be alright!"

"As expected of our captain!"

"But that was really worrying! That lightning pillar looked absolutely terrifying!"

"But how did that guy manage to do it? He was completely unharmed after such a terrifying attack?!"

...

In the middle of Apayado Island, there is a giant vine.

A shrine sits atop the clouds above the vines.

Meanwhile, inside the shrine.

Enel ate fruit while leisurely enjoying this divine entertainment, eavesdropping on various sounds from the island.

This is what he often does when he's bored: whenever he hears anyone on the island say something insulting to him, he punishes them with divine retribution!

As Enel listened to the various sounds, one of them caught his attention.

"It seems this god has oppressed you deeply!"

"What use is a god who can be sentenced to death for just saying a few words?"

"You helped us, so you'll surely face divine retribution!"

"so..."

"I'll help you get rid of this god as a thank you for your hospitality and for helping us!"

Upon hearing someone utter such disrespectful words, Enel immediately showed disdain and snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Foolish people from Qinghai!"

"They have no idea how terrifying I am as a god."

"Just go to hell!"

As soon as Enel finished speaking, he unleashed a divine punishment with an expression as if looking at an ant!

Then he continued to leisurely eat fruit and listen to the other people's voices.

Suddenly, Enel froze halfway through his bite of fruit, sitting there blankly like a puppet.

This scene left his four priests completely bewildered, and they all asked in confusion.

"What's wrong? Lord Enel!"

"You look so pale, are you feeling unwell?"

"Fool! How could God Enel be unwell? Has something happened?"

Enel frowned, his eyes filled with shock and confusion, his expression extremely stiff, and slowly began to speak.

"Someone withstood my divine punishment...and survived!"

Upon hearing this, the priests exclaimed in surprise.

"How is that possible?! Even we priests dare not easily touch the power of your divine punishment."

"Yes! With such terrifying power, how could anyone possibly survive? Are there such people on Sky Island?"

"May I ask, Lord Enel, who exactly is this person?"

Enel remained in shock and said...

"It's those Qinghai people who illegally entered the country!"

"He just said he was going to kill me, so I cast a divine punishment on him, but I didn't expect that he would survive."

Upon hearing this, the priests immediately showed anger on their faces.

"How dare you utter such disrespectful words to you, Lord God Enel! Please order us to eliminate this person for you!"

"Please give the order, Lord Enel!"

Hearing the words of the priests, Enel's eyes lit up with interest, and he said.

"No! Leave that person to me!"

"I have roamed the Sky Island for so many years and have never encountered a worthy opponent."

"Didn't those guys say they were coming to kill me?"

"Then I'll wait for them here!"

"Let me see... if that guy can give me some fun!"

"Yay hahaha..."

Enel suddenly burst into laughter, his face filled with confidence and excitement.

The priests were all amazed by this scene.

Unrivaled on the Skypiea, truly worthy of being called God Enel!

Just then, Enel gradually stopped laughing and spoke to several priests.

"Go and get ready!"

"The Shandians should be preparing to attack Apayado again soon."

"Let's settle things with them one last time before we leave!"

...

Luffy's side!

After emerging unscathed from Enel's Heavenly Punishment, he stood before the Straw Hat crew.

Upon seeing this, everyone crowded around, looking at Luffy as if he were a monster.

"How did you do that? How come you don't look injured at all?"

"Yeah! That lightning bolt just now was terrifying."

Faced with everyone's concern and doubts, Luffy smiled and said.

"I'm a rubber man, lightning has no effect on me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately realized what was going on.

That makes sense! Lightning really doesn't work on rubber!

Just then, Luffy suddenly took out a whistle and blew it.

When the others saw the whistle, they immediately realized that it was the whistle that Gan Fall had left for them.

"What are you going to do, Luffy?"

"Didn't that old man say we should only brag when it matters? We can't waste this opportunity!"

Luffy explained.

"Next, we're going to Apayado, so we can't bring Connie and the others with us."

“They’ve broken the laws of this country now, so let Gan Fall take them to a safe place!”

This explanation immediately garnered everyone's approval.

Connie and her father broke the law to protect them, and they couldn't ignore it.

Not long after Luffy blew his whistle, Gan Fall appeared in everyone's sight riding Pierre.

"I am Gan Fall, the Sky Knight!"

With a loud shout, Gan Fall landed beside Luffy and the others.

He immediately spoke.

"What's wrong? Have you run into trouble so quickly?"

"What is it?"

Tell me, and I will do my best to help you solve this problem.

As he spoke, Gan Fall suddenly noticed the white-beretted troops in the distance, and a terrifying crater in the ground.

Just as his eyes trembled and he was having some guesses, Luffy's voice rang out.

"I would like to ask you to help us get this father and daughter to a safe place."

"They did it because we broke the laws of this country."

"Next, we're going to Apayado to find that god."

"Send them back after we take him out!"

After Luffy finished speaking, he led the others toward the Going Merry.

Gan Fall, only now recovering from his shock, immediately spoke up to stop him.

"Wait! You are no match for Enel, don't go and die!"

"That giant crater over there must have been caused by God Enel's divine retribution!"

"You must have all seen with your own eyes that someone died in that divine punishment!"

"Now that you have witnessed Enel's terror firsthand, you should understand even more clearly... Enel is invincible!"

"So... absolutely do not go and die!!!"

Gan Fall earnestly and loudly advised Luffy and the others.

He could tell that they were a good group of people.

So he didn't want to watch these people go to their deaths.

Just then, Luffy stopped, turned around and glanced at Gan Fall, and said calmly.

"The one who just received divine punishment... that was me!"

After saying that, he ignored the other person and led all the Straw Hat crew members aboard the Going Merry.

Guided by Vivi, they headed towards Apayado.

Gan Fall stood there blankly, as if he were on standby, and didn't understand Luffy's meaning for a long time.

What did that guy just say?

Is he the one who will face divine retribution?

boom!

He suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and abruptly realized what had happened.

He stared incredulously at the enormous crater, then at Luffy standing on the deck of the Going Merry, his eyes filled with shock.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Connie and her father, and asked.

"Was what he just said true? He really survived that divine punishment?"

The father and daughter nodded in unison and said.

"Mr. Luffy is telling the truth!"

"Not only did they survive, they were completely unharmed!"
