Shura stared in bewilderment at Ikki, who was now crackling with thunder and lightning. "Thunder... isn't that the power of a god? How could a man from the Blue Sea possess it?"
Just then, Ikki walked toward him, his voice low and menacing. "You're the one who calls himself 'Shura'?"
Before Shura could even stammer a reply, his large bird-like mount let out a cry and swooped at Ikki to protect its master.
"Quite the loyal pet!" Ikki remarked, praising the beast. He then swung a whip of wind and lightning, cleanly severing the giant bird's head. "Sanji, I want to eat stewed iron pot today!"
Sanji, who had been watching the scene unfold, immediately pulled out a kitchen knife, eager to prepare the bird.
Shura, meanwhile, was in complete despair. As a Sky Knight, he no longer had a mount... what kind of knight was he now? But this wasn't the time for self-pity. His life was in immediate danger.
"My lord, perhaps there's a misunderstanding between us?"
"A misunderstanding? After you interrupted my lesson, you think there's a misunderstanding?"
Shura was utterly confused. "What lesson? What does that have to do with me?"
Seeing his baffled expression, Ikki continued, "If you hadn't launched that surprise attack, I would have successfully taught them the basics of Armament Haki!" He pointed to Luffy and the others.
The Straw Hats looked at each other with blank, deadpan expressions and waved their hands dismissively. "No, no... this has nothing to do with us!"
Shura finally understood. This man was just looking for an excuse to kill him! Realizing he was in a dire situation, Shura decided to call for help from the only person who could save him.
"Lord God... please save your humble servant!" Shura shouted toward the sky, hoping Enel would hear him.
Enel, high above, sensed Shura's distress. Originally, he hadn't planned to interveneâafter all, he had declared that life and death were a matter of fate. But since this "little brother" had called for him in such a way, a slight intervention wouldn't hurt. And as for going back on his word? He was a god, the one who made the rules. He couldn't "go back on his word" if he was the one changing the rules.
He raised his right hand, closed his eyes, and pinpointed Ikki's location. "God's Judgment!"
A bolt of lightning as thick as a tree trunk suddenly shot down from the sky, aiming directly for Ikki.
Wyper's expression instantly became serious. "Enel is making his move..." He watched Ikki with a worried look.
Ikki, however, was unfazed. He held Mjolnir, and the lightning strike was no threat to him at all. With the hammer protecting him, lightning had no effect.
After the lightning dissipated, Ikki stood there, completely unharmed.
Shura was stunned. He had never seen anyone survive God's Judgment without a scratch!
"Alright... I gave you a chance to call for help, but it seems your savior isn't very effective!" Ikki didn't waste any more time. He swung Mjolnir and sent Shura flying, taking him out of the fight for good.
After dealing with Shura, Ikki noticed it was getting late. "Let's set up camp and cook!" he announced to the Straw Hats.
Luffy immediately cheered, "Bonfire party! Bonfire party!"
Nami, however, delivered a swift Haki-infused punch to his head. "This is the enemy's home base! Can't you be serious for a second?!"
Just as she thought she had put an end to the "bonfire party," Zoro and Sanji had already started gathering wood. Nami could only facepalm in exasperation.
Meanwhile, in the Blue Sea, a Marine warship sailed into the port of Marineford.
Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru disembarked, only to be met by a stern-looking Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp.
Sengoku glared at Aokiji, thinking to himself, 'What are you doing? Blackbeard isn't dead and Ace isn't alive! How can I ever give you the Fleet Admiral position in the future?!'
As if reading his mind, Aokiji shrugged helplessly. "Some unexpected things happened, and the mission wasn't completed."
At that moment, Blackbeard, heavily injured, and Ace, smiling gently with Sea Prism Stone handcuffs on his wrists, walked off the ship.
Garp rushed over to Ace. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Grandpa..." Ace replied.
Garp froze. He had never heard Ace call him "Grandpa" so gently before. Suspicious, he turned to Aokiji and Kizaru. "Hey! Did you guys beat Ace until he lost his mind?"
Kizaru quickly defended himself. "No... this is just how Ace is..." Before he could finish, Aokiji subtly shook his head, signaling him to stop. Kizaru knew it was better to discuss this with Garp and Sengoku in private.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku approached Blackbeard. "Are you Teach, Blackbeard?"
"Hello, Fleet Admiral. That's me!"
Sengoku scrutinized him before nodding. "You've done well." He then pulled out a Warlord of the Sea appointment letter from the World Government. "You will replace Crocodile and become the new Warlord!"
Blackbeard smiled upon receiving the letter, thinking, 'Things didn't go perfectly, but the plan was a success!'
Sengoku then moved to Ace and, upon seeing his gentle smile, his anger flared. "Hey! Fire Fist Ace, you're laughing even though you've been caught! Are you provoking us Marines?!"
Sengoku's sudden outburst made Kizaru flinch, and he thought, 'Wait... why does the Fleet Admiral's line sound so familiar?'
Aokiji, Blackbeard, and even Lafitte all shared a similar feeling. Aokiji had already guessed what Sengoku was about to do, but Blackbeard had a terrible premonition.
Just as Blackbeard was about to make a run for it, Sengoku transformed into his giant Buddha form and launched a shockwave toward Ace. However, just as the blast was less than a foot away, Sengoku's foot "slipped," and he suddenly slid a few meters over to where Blackbeard was standing.
Blackbeard stood there in stunned silence.
"Hey! Don't try to kill someone so blatantly!" Sengoku shouted, seemingly at no one, before redirecting the shockwave to hit Blackbeard.
Since Blackbeard was wearing Sea Prism Stone handcuffs, he was completely defenseless. The shockwave slammed him into the concrete ground, leaving him barely able to breathe.
Sengoku returned to his human form, looking distressed. "Oh... why did my foot slip?"
All the other Marines, Kizaru, and Aokiji just stared, speechless. Only Garp was there, slapping his knee and laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.
