Chapter 58 Perhaps, he is more valuable than Enel
As Bane said, everyone is stuck in their own little world, like a frog in a well.
Some people's wells are wider, while others' are narrower.
Wiper clearly saw that he grew up in an underdeveloped environment. This made it hard for him to understand the great power that seemed to destroy everything just moments ago.
Meanwhile, the priest of the God's Guard was the first to realize what was happening.
Maybe it was because they believed in the so-called "God" Enel, so they thought everything could be blamed on miracles. When they understood the situation, the priest shouted, "It was God's wrath! God was angry just now. God must be upset with our long battle. Hurry, defeat these Shandia guerrillas before the next divine punishment strikes! "
The Shandia people were the original inhabitants of Jaya Island. Over four hundred years ago, they were swept up into the sky by a massive upwelling current and could not get down.
Four hundred years ago, the rulers of Angel Island wanted their land and started a war to force them out. They drove the Shandians from the Land of Gold. Since then, the Shandians have been in conflict with the Sky Islanders. This land war has lasted for hundreds of years. Although the Shandians are strong, they face limited resources, preventing their population from growing. They have always had the disadvantage in this war and have not been able to reclaim their ancestral land.
In this generation, Gan Fall, the ruler of Angel Island, wanted to make peace with the Shandians. He aimed to end the struggle that had lasted for centuries through peaceful means.
Whether his idea was naive or not, he was genuinely ready to try.
However, his good intentions didn't last long. Before he could address the issues, Enel destroyed his hometown, Birka, and came to Angel Island with his followers. He violently forced Gan Fall out and became the new "God" of Angel Island.
Enel was not interested in making peace with the Shandians. Because of his overwhelming power and arrogant nature, even though he could easily defeat the Shandians, he chose not to. Instead, he treated the conflict like a game and enjoyed himself.
But it is clear that when Enel grows tired of this game, the Shandians will be completely defeated, along with Angel Island.
The guards of God on the other side reacted, and the Shandians would not back down. Soon, they started fighting again above the sea of clouds. Both sides skated around in the sea. They attacked each other with all kinds of strange shells and faced off with swords.
The priest leading the team was skilled at charming people, but he was not very strong. In contrast, Wiper, the great warrior of the Shandians, was very fierce. Most of the members of the God's Guard who faced him were almost killed instantly.
Wiper's fighting style was brutal and macho. He fought head-on and never backed down or did anything fancy.
It was clear that he was very strong and fit. He had been shot several times, and his wounds were bleeding a lot, but he seemed fine and kept fighting even more fiercely.
While the other Shandian warriors were not as fierce as Wiper, they were still very good fighters. The God's Guard, with a large number of members, was simply no match for this tough group and soon teetered on collapse.
At that moment, a three-masted sailboat appeared from the hollow of the white sea.
This sudden change made both sides stop fighting again. They were cautious of each other but also focused on this strange ship.
Both the God's Guard and the Shandians had seen the sea people under the White Sea before. So, even though they were a bit surprised, they did not show disbelief.
"Oh, it looks like we interrupted a great battle. " Bane stood on the deck, looking at the two groups nearby and smacking his lips.
"Sea people! " The priest of the God's Guard said right away: "I order you to help me kill these beasts. If you do well, God will give you everything! "
Wiper frowned when he heard this, he wasn't afraid of the sea people at all with his fierce fighting style. If they tried to get involved, he would kill them too.
However, he was also somewhat scared inside. Was the terrifying shock wave just now connected to this group of sea people who appeared out of nowhere?
On the deck, Zoro looked at Bane with some annoyance and asked, "Can I kill him? "
"Sure, I don't like his tone either," Bane nodded in agreement.
As for Issho, even though he was not very aggressive, he agreed with what was happening. In the next moment, a fierce light appeared in Zoro's eyes. He stomped his feet hard, and then he suddenly vanished from the deck.
It was clear he was using shaving.
When Zoro disappeared, Wiper's expression turned serious, and he tightened his grip on the machete. He saw Zoro's figure flash several times on the white sea until Zoro was right in front of the priest.
The priest looked shocked and raised his sword to defend against Zoro, but it was useless. A cold light shot out of Zoro's sheath, and he was suddenly behind the priest.
Then, the priest's sword broke cleanly. Blood gushed from his chest, and his eyes rolled back as he fell into the sea, sinking and disappearing without a trace.
Looking at the blood on his sword, Zoro spoke with a slight hint of disdain, "All it took was a single blow. "
He then stylishly slid the Sandai Kitetsu back into its scabbard. Even though members of the God's Guard surrounded him, he ignored them and turned his attention to Wiper.
"You might be a worthy opponent," Zoro said while standing on the sea.
That's right, he was standing on the sea. No he's not Jesus, if you looked closely, you would see that his feet occasionally flickered.
Noticing Zoro's intense gaze, Wiper's eyes also showed a spark of determination.
"Man from sea, tell me your name! " Wiper called out in a deep voice.
"Roronoa Zoro," Zoro replied first, then asked, "Who are you? "
"I'm the great warrior of Shandia, Wiper! " Wiper answered fearlessly.
After the two locked eyes for a moment, Wiper was the first to act. He didn't use the machete in his hand. Instead, he pulled down the cannon on his back. It seemed he didn't even need to aim; it was like second nature. Without a word, he fired a shot straight at Zoro.
Zoro didn't change his expression. He pushed off his feet again and stepped directly on the sea's surface, charging towards Wiper despite the cannonballs.
As the cannonball flew towards him, Zoro raised his hand and slashed with his sword. The movement was so quick it was almost invisible. Just as the cannonball was cut in half, the blade was already back in its sheath.
Seeing this, Wiper didn't hesitate. He immediately abandoned the cannon. He put on his skates, showing no fear, and charged at Zoro with his machete in hand.
As soon as the two figures met, the sound of steel clashing filled the air. Wiper was immediately knocked back over ten meters. The skates on his feet left a misty trail on the sea of clouds.
After just one hit, Wiper felt defeated. The man named Roronoa Zoro was stronger than he thought.
However, there was no time to think now. After gaining the advantage with one attack, Zoro charged at Wiper again and quickly engaged him in battle. It was clear that Zoro was winning in every way, but he did not seem to want to finish the fight quickly.
Meanwhile, on the deck, Nami rubbed her chin and asked, "Did he show mercy? "
"Maybe. After all, he doesn't even need to use his haki." Bane nodded.
"Are you going to stop them? " Nami asked again.
Bane smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I'm suddenly curious about that guy named Wiper. "
Before this, he only thought about Enel, but he realized that Sandia's great warrior Wiper might be more valuable than Enel.
