After eliminating the side effect brought by Fifth Gear,
Luffy suddenly thought of something at this moment and looked at Vivi, saying,
"Vivi, quickly go and bring Eneru over."
Although Vivi didn't know why Luffy wanted Eneru, she still nodded.
Then she soared into the sky to find Eneru, who had just been sent flying.
Nami, meanwhile, asked curiously,
"Why are you still looking for that Eneru?"
"Didn't we already defeat him?".
Upon hearing this, Luffy shifted his gaze to Nami and said,
"Didn't you always ask me to find you a powerful Devil Fruit?"
Nami was stunned for a moment, but she instantly reacted and said,
"Are you saying you want to give me Eneru's lightning power?"
Luffy nodded.
"That's right!"
"Aren't you quite knowledgeable about weather?"
"One of the main attack methods of the Clima-Tact is also lightning."
"And you can also create thunderclouds with the Clima-Tact."
"With the aid of thunderclouds, you will definitely be able to develop even more powerful abilities."
"This fruit, which can control lightning, is definitely the most suitable for you."
The others also nodded upon hearing Luffy's words, all agreeing that this fruit suited Nami very well.
Only Nami, however, frowned, looking hesitant.
Seeing this, Luffy couldn't help but ask in confusion,
"What's wrong, Nami?"
"Do you think this ability isn't strong enough?"
Nami still frowned, shook her head, and with a thoughtful look in her eyes, said,
"It's not that it's not strong enough!"
"It's just that this ability seems useless against you."
"What I originally thought was, after getting a powerful ability, I would take all the money on the ship to keep it safe."
"If anyone dared to ask me for money, I would use my ability to teach them a lesson."
"But if I eat this fruit now, won't I only be able to shock others?"
"It won't work on you!"
Nami spoke, pondering with great distress.
She seemed to be worrying about how to subdue everyone.
This scene made everyone's mouths twitch involuntarily.
Before Luffy could speak, everyone cried out in unison to stop Luffy.
"Luffy, please don't let Nami eat the fruit!"
"Otherwise, we'll all become paupers!"
Nami also suddenly realized she had accidentally blurted out her true thoughts and immediately waved her hands repeatedly, forcing a laugh.
"Ha... haha...."
"Just kidding! I was just kidding."
However, what answered her was a perfectly synchronized voice.
"Who'd believe that?!"
Just then, Luffy suddenly smiled and said,
"Have you forgotten?"
"The Golden City is on Sky Island!"
"Once we find this gold, our pirate crew will instantly transform from a pauper pirate crew into a 277 God-tier Rich Pirate Crew."
"Will we still need to worry about money in the future?"
As soon as Luffy said this, everyone was suddenly stunned.
Oh, right!
Isn't there a Golden City on Sky Island?
Once the Golden City is found, who would still need to argue with Nami every day about having too little pocket money?
Thinking of this,
everyone's mouths involuntarily curved upwards at the same time, and they all chuckled, their bodies trembling slightly.
This scene made the surrounding Shandia people feel a chill.
They always felt like these people from the Blue Sea were plotting something bad.
Just as the Straw Hat were chuckling to themselves, Vivi flew back, carrying the unconscious Eneru, who had been defeated.
She threw him onto the ground.
Then, Luffy applied his heaven-defying comprehension to Nami.
After Nami's understanding of natural weather was stimulated to its maximum state,
Eneru's life was also ended at this moment.
Then, everyone fell into waiting.
Crack!
A startling thunderous sound suddenly echoed in the sky.
Everyone looked up at the sound.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck the giant vine beside them.
The next moment, a piece of the vine was blasted off due to the strong impact.
But to everyone's surprise, among the shattered pieces blasted off the vine, a fruit fell straight towards their location.
The fruit's patterns resembled bolts of lightning, looking extremely destructive.
"Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Through comprehension transmission, your transmitter is extraordinarily talented, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit has been attracted!"
As the notification appeared in his mind, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit also landed beside Nami.
Having already made up her mind, Nami bit into it without hesitation.
"Ugh..."
Nami couldn't help but dry heave.
Although she was mentally prepared, the terrible taste of the Devil Fruit still exceeded her expectations.
"How is it, Nami? Do you feel any changes?"
Nojiko was the first to ask with concern, her small face filled with anticipation and joy.
Seeing Nami become stronger, she was naturally the happiest.
This way, Nami would be even more capable of protecting herself.
Nami heard the question and carefully sensed the changes within herself.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, she raised her finger and pointed it at a large boulder in front of them.
Crack!
A startling bolt of lightning shot out from her finger, and the boulder in front of them exploded with a rumble.
This scene left everyone in awe.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power was too strong.
It was definitely one of the strongest Devil Fruits of the Logia type.
...
After Nami obtained the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit,
Luffy let everyone go their own way, agreeing to meet back here at 7 PM for a feast.
Robin went to explore the island's history.
Sanji prepared the feast ingredients.
Nojiko looked for new and interesting plants to study.
The others, who had nothing else to do, all plunged into the search for the Golden City.
Although Luffy already knew that the Golden City had been used by Eneru to build Enel's Ark Maxim, he didn't explain it directly because it was difficult to do so.
Instead, he took Nami to find the hidden location of Enel's Ark Maxim.
When they saw the incredibly huge flying ship before them, they were both stunned.
The gleaming gold on the ship was simply mesmerizing!
Nami's eyes even turned into the shape of Berries, and she screamed excitedly.
"Ahhh! We're rich! We're rich!"
"The gold on this ship, no matter how I look at it, doesn't seem like something we could ever spend all of!"
Luffy couldn't help but smile at her words.
Eneru had used almost half of the Golden City's gold on this ark.
It was worth at least several trillion Berries.
With so much money, wouldn't they be able to spend it freely without ever running out?
However, after the initial excitement, Nami suddenly looked troubled and said,
"With so much gold, how are we going to take it away?"
"Even if we filled the Merry to the brim, it wouldn't be enough!"
Luffy smiled and shook his head, saying,
"We don't need to load it onto the Merry; we'll just sail this ship away directly."
"Eh?"
Hearing Luffy say this, Nami couldn't help but let out a puzzled sound, saying,
"Such a big ship, and there are only a few of us. How can we sail it away?"
The Merry, being such a small ship, usually required most of the crew to sail it.
Sailing a ship dozens of times the size of the Merry with just a few of them was simply impossible.
Just as Nami was thinking this, Luffy suddenly took Nami and leaped onto the deck of Enel's Ark Maxim.
Then, looking at a device on the deck that was connected to various parts of the ship with gold, he said,
"This ship shouldn't have an ordinary power source. Try using your lightning power to see if you can drive this ship."
Hearing Luffy say this, Nami was incredibly puzzled.
But it was indeed as Luffy said; the gold arrangement on this ship was too strange, looking as if it had a very important function.
So, she followed Luffy's instructions and channeled her lightning power onto the gold.
The next second,
Nami incredibly discovered that
the windmill-like devices on the ship's hull actually began to rotate.
Soon, the entire ark began to ascend and fly.
This scene utterly astonished Nami.
"sugei! This ship can fly!"
"And it looks like only lightning as a power source can activate it!"
Luffy smiled and said,
"This should be Eneru's exclusive flying ship that he built for himself."
"But now, it's become our pirate crew's property."
"And with this flying ship, we won't have to worry about landing when we leave Sky Island."
After trying out the takeoff,
Luffy had Nami land the ship back down.
They weren't in a hurry to leave yet; if they flew the ship out, it would cause a commotion.
And there was nowhere to put it.
So, they left it here and would come back for it when it was time to leave.
...
At 7 PM.
The Straw Hat gathered as agreed at the giant vine.
However, since Robin discovered that the ruins of the Golden City were located below the clouds where they had been during the day,
the group, along with the Shandia Tribe, Gan Fall, and the invited Conis and her father, held an unprecedented grand feast at the Golden City ruins.
Besides them, the Sky Lord of this island, an incredibly huge python, also came to attend the feast.
This python was a testament to the friendship between Nuo Lan Du and Calgara.
So, upon seeing the Golden Bell recovered, it also became incredibly excited and joyful, staying near the Golden Bell and refusing to leave.
And Robin also discovered the Poneglyph hidden beneath the Golden Bell.
However, it pointed to the location of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon and did not lead Robin to the true history.
They stayed on Sky Island for a few more days.
They explored all the streets and shops of Sky Island.
They also traded for a large batch of Sky Island's special Dial energy sources.
These Dials with various functions would allow Usopp to further enhance Nami's Clima-Tact and his slingshot.
And they would also bring many conveniences to the ship.
Three days later, they officially set off, deciding to leave Sky Island.
When Uta and the others arrived at the end of the clouds, where they would leave Sky Island, aboard the Merry,
Conis and her father, Gan Fall, Wapa, and a large group of people all came to see them off.
But what puzzled everyone, including the crew on the Merry, was...
"Damn it! What are Luffy and Nami doing? Why aren't they back yet?"
"Didn't we agree to leave today? Why did they suddenly say they had to leave for a bit?"
"Seriously! We've been waiting here for over an hour!"
Just as the people on the Merry were complaining,
Vivi suddenly looked at the sky and exclaimed,
"Look over there, a ship is flying over!"
Hearing Vivi say there was a flying ship, everyone looked, but they couldn't help but question it.
"Vivi, what are you talking about? How can a ship fly?"
"Yeah! Ships can't... Woah! There really is a ship flying!"
Just as people were shocked, Vivi suddenly saw Nami excitedly waving at them from the side of the ship, with Luffy standing beside her.
"It's Luffy and Nami! They're back!"
Vivi said with surprise.
Not long after she spoke, everyone saw Luffy and Nami's figures.
And when they saw the gold on the ship, everyone was stunned.
"Woah! So much gold!"
"How many Berries must all this gold be worth? We'll never be able to spend it all!"
"No wonder we found the Golden City but discovered there was no gold. So it was all on this ship?"
As everyone was exclaiming, they suddenly all gasped in surprise, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
They saw Luffy, standing on the flying ship's deck, suddenly turn pure white.
Then he stretched out two gigantic arms and grabbed towards the Merry.
"Waaahhhhhhh..."
"Woahhhhhhh..."
A panicked scream erupted from the ship.
And the Sky Island people who had come to see them off on their ships watched in shock as Luffy simply picked up the Merry and placed it on the deck of Enel's Ark Maxim.
This power and reckless method astonished the Sky Island people, leaving them all utterly amazed.
Afterward, Enel's Ark Maxim, carrying the Merry and the Straw Hat, crossed the end of the clouds and flew downwards.
At the same time, Luffy and his crew all stood by the ship, bidding farewell to those who had come to see them off.
"Sky Knight, you must manage Sky Island well as a god from now on!"
"To the Shandia and the people of Sky Island, get along well from now on!"
"Goodbye, Conis, thank you for your hospitality!"
"Goodbye, everyone!"
"Take care!"
And Gan Fall and the others also waved goodbye.
"Straw Hat, thank you for saving Sky Island."
"Thank you for helping us light the Shandora Lamp!"
"Take care, Straw Hat!"
"Come visit again when you have time!"
Amidst everyone's farewells, Luffy and his crew slowly disappeared into the clouds.
Ding!
Dong!
The sound of the Golden Bell continued to ring, bidding a final farewell to Luffy and his crew.
...
Somewhere in the Grand Line.
A gentle breeze blew, and seagulls soared in the sky.
Above the sea, a man rode a bicycle, slowly moving forward.
Wherever he went, the sea surface was frozen into solid ice.
This person was none other than Marineford's Admiral, Aokiji.
"Purupurupuru..."
"Purupurupuru..."
A den den mushi rang, and Aokiji unhurriedly took out his den den mushi from his pocket and answered.
"Kuzan! Where are you now?"
As soon as the den den mushi connected, a very urgent voice came from within.
Aokiji found the other party's tone a bit strange and asked in confusion.
"I'm in a sea area near Water 7."
"Has something happened, Fleet Admiral Sengoku?"
"Your tone sounds off!"
Sengoku's voice on the other end of the phone was extremely solemn as he urged.
"Come back to Marineford quickly, a major incident that will affect the entire world has occurred!"
Upon hearing this, Aokiji immediately frowned.
Then, he heard Sengoku continue.
"Just now, I was holding a Shichibukai meeting in Mary Geoise."
"During the meeting, a bounty criminal broke in."
"He recommended a new Shichibukai candidate to us!"
Aokiji asked in confusion.
"If it's just recommending a Shichibukai... is there a problem?"
Sengoku breathed rapidly, taking a big gasp, and continued.
"Of course, there's no problem with just recommending a Shichibukai."
"But the key to the problem is..."
"That pirate who wants to become a Shichibukai... named Blackbeard..."
"Had that recommender submit a bounty criminal to us."
Hearing this, Aokiji already guessed that this bounty criminal might be a big shot.
He couldn't help but become serious, listening carefully to Sengoku.
"That bounty criminal is..."
"Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd Division Commander... Fire Fist Ace!"
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when he heard this name,
Aokiji's heart still couldn't help but be shocked.
Fire Fist Ace is world-renowned among pirates; to be able to capture such a pirate, his strength must not be underestimated.
As Aokiji was pondering these things, he heard Sengoku continue.
"After discussing with the Gorosei, we have decided..."
"To publicly execute Fire Fist Ace!"
