The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

The power of that move was definitely not something a normal human could unleash!

Precision strikes at fixed times and locations may be possible with some technologies, but even the navy currently lacks weapons with such high lethality, let alone this floating island.

There is no other possibility other than a powerful Devil Fruit ability.

"But why..."

Nami, already terrified, hid behind Link. "When we asked about the island and the priests before, he didn't intervene, but waited until now?" "Maybe it's because he thinks none of this matters anymore?"

Zoro's expression gradually turned serious. "This priest just said that Enel is conducting a so-called 'God Selection Tournament'."

“Selection also means elimination, which means he no longer cares if people know about the situation on this island.”

"Because everyone who gets eliminated will be eliminated by him using the same move he just used, right?"

Sanji chimed in, "So whether we know it or not, it doesn't matter at all."

"Is that why the attack only came down after we talked about him and touched on his taboos?"

Usopp was also quite astute at this moment, noting, "And the attack that came down wasn't aimed at us, but at that priest from before..."

The intention was clear: that priest had been eliminated, while they still had the qualifications to be selected.

This means that, in Enel's eyes, they were nothing more than pawns in the selection process.

"Of course, there is another possibility."

Link then slowly spoke up, "He felt that we posed no threat whatsoever and could be eliminated whenever he wanted, so he didn't care at all about our previous offensive actions."

"After all, elephants don't usually bother with crickets and ants; that's probably what he meant."

Link glanced at the crater in the ground; it was probably more than that, carrying a threat and a warning.

I can deal with you anytime, so you'd better take this selection process seriously, or you'll be eliminated immediately!

“Hmph…〃II…”

Zoro couldn't help but smirk and say, "You really are arrogant!!"

"But they do indeed have the right to be arrogant..."

Sanji tapped his heel, "With power at this level, it's at least a Logia-type ability, right?"

"A blue and white beam of light..."

Having looked at the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, he pondered, "It should be the power of the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit!!"

"The Thunder Fruit?!"

Robin also raised an eyebrow slightly, "That's what's said to be 'invincible' among all the Devil Fruit abilities..."

"There's such a powerful Devil Fruit?!"

Chopper and Usopp, standing nearby, were stunned, their trembling intensifying slightly. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

A glint flashed in Link's eyes, and his gaze deepened slightly.

He happened to possess an item that could perfectly grant him Devil Fruit powers.

If it's the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

"Who cares if it's thunder or not?!"

Just then, Luffy, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

He shoved his hand over his hat: "All I know is that guy stole my boat!!"

One of its abilities is the Logia-type ability with the strongest destructive power.

Luffy's gaze was resolute as he declared, "If that guy dares to stop me again, I'll send him flying!!"

These words were spoken with great courage and determination.

Even after witnessing that power, Luffy remained completely fearless!

"That's right!"

Link chuckled, "He's just a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. No matter how strong he is, he's still just a human."

"We've fought against Logia-type Devil Fruit users before, and we even won."

"So this time, facing such an opponent, it will definitely be a piece of cake."

"At least we've confirmed that he's not some mysterious god, but a powerful natural-type ability user."

"Defeat him, take back the Going Merry, it's that simple!!"

Link's powerful words instantly swept away the overwhelming sense of power and oppression that had been gradually swirling in everyone's minds.

“That’s right, Link is right!!”

Usopp was the first to stand up and express his support, saying, "No matter what kind of enemy we are, we must get the Going Merry back!!"

"For the Going Merry!!"

"For our ships!!"

Chopper, like a real man, was shouting his heart out.

"Having arrived on this sky island, I've finally encountered a worthy opponent."

A burning fighting spirit also appeared in Zoro's eyes.

Sanji smiled slightly, and Nami shrugged.

Now that we've become rivals, the next thing to do is not to give up, but to face it with a smile.

Come on, Ollie Gei!!

The Straw Hat Pirates, in their cheerful mood, quickly adjusted their mindset and continued heading in the direction indicated by the [Finding Staff].

As they advanced, the Shandian people had already arrived on the island.

"What lies ahead is a tough battle, so everyone needs to stay alert."

Vepa, who had previously been the leader of the tribe and was known as the War Demon, looked expressionlessly at his careless companions who had almost been wiped out.

After they arrived on the island, they were trapped and bound by the priest Shura of the [Rope] Trial using rope clouds and beautiful shells.

If Wipa hadn't stepped in in time, this group of people might have already collapsed right at the entrance.

Ironically, a large group of Shandians were almost wiped out by Shura alone.

No wonder they have been unable to reclaim their homeland for over four hundred years.

Such a lack of action is truly beyond words.

Let's keep moving forward!

Wipa turned away from his companions, saying, "If we continue to be so careless, the price we'll pay is our lives!!"

After speaking in a deep voice, Wipa didn't even glance at the Shura he had knocked down with his Strike Shell, but instead stepped on the Cloud Shell and shot forward.

Thus, the two priests were eliminated.

Besides these four priests, Enel also had many other divine servants who resembled goat-headed humans.

After a brief encounter with the Shandian people, a great battle broke out instantly.

A fierce battle has once again erupted across the entire island of Apayado!

At the same time~

After defeating the priest, Luffy and his crew went through a series of hardships and dangers in the jungle and finally arrived at the location of the Going Merry.

It was an altar standing above a sea of ​​clouds, and the Going Merry was positioned right in the center of it, as if it were to be offered as a sacrifice to something.

"Merry!!"

Usopp looked at the ship he had lost and found with tears in his eyes, and shouted out loud.

"Woo-woo-woo!"

On the boat, Ah Niu's barking also rang out.

He said that there was an animal called a cloud shark in this sea of ​​clouds, and that we should be careful. Chopper faithfully translated Ah Niu's words.

"Cloud shark? What kind of animal is that?"

Zoro pointed to a long, dark purple-blue fish fin that was clearly visible above the surface of the sea.

"It looks delicious!!"

Luffy swallowed hard.

"Shark soup and shark fin rice do seem like a pretty good combination?"

Sanji, too, rested his chin on his fingers, observing with great interest.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo".

Ah Niu's cries came from the Merry again.

"It said the sharks must taste really good."

Chopper continued translating, "Ah Niu said that a cloud shark jumped up and tried to eat him, but ended up eating him instead."

Eating it the other way around is really something...

"However, it is indeed very late."

Sanji looked up at the sky, where the sunlight had dimmed and clouds were burning on the horizon.

"It is indeed time to eat and replenish our energy."

"Eat meat! Eat meat!!"

As soon as he heard that it was time to eat, Luffy immediately jumped out.

"A rubbery... spiral pistol!!"

boom! !

He sent a giant cloud shark flying.

Thus, the cloud shark's lair has been thoroughly stirred up, and the sea of ​​clouds has begun to churn.

After a while.

As the sun sets, the stars begin to twinkle in the sky.

The black night sky enveloped the sky above this floating island.

Pfft! !

"Yosh, now the Going Merry is all set."

They saw the Merry being piloted down by Link using the [Aircraft-type All-Purpose Control Stick] and landing on the nearby shore.

Usopp finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Chopper next to him also wiped his sweat.

"Are you done yet, Sanji? Stop!"

Luffy squatted next to a black iron pot, his mouth watering uncontrollably as he smelled the aroma emanating from it.

"Hey Luffy, move away! Don't spit out the firewood!"

Sanji was cooking and stewing cloud shark meat while scolding Luffy.

With one hand, he stirred the oil in the pot to enhance the flavor, while with the other, he grilled fragrant shark meat skewers on a stone platform set up nearby. Beside him lay numerous pieces of peeled shark skin.

Bonfire party 157! You're such a wild girl, I really like you!

It was obvious at a glance that a considerable number had been captured, and even the sea of ​​clouds had become quiet.

So many cloud sharks aren't stupid. After Luffy captured a significant portion of them, they were so frightened that they left without looking back.

Otherwise, they might end up like their companions, ending up in that big iron pot or on that barbecue grill.

Ah Niu was helping Sanji with his work, and he even had a white chef's headband tied around his head, making him look quite the part.

"If you don't continue your training, you might become a pretty good chef by learning cooking from me!"

Sanji took a bite of the barbecue sauce that Ah Niu had prepared and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in praise.

The taste is indeed quite good.

"Woohoo!!"
