Sky Island above East Blue
"Great job! The first phase of the IQ test has a 40% success rate!!!"
Golden Lion Shiki's face flushed red, he slapped his thigh and laughed wildly, then drank the entire jar of liquor in one gulp, spraying it far away.
The Pirates in the audience laughed so hard that they fell over, with snot and tears pouring out.
"We're going to return the entire East Blue to the arms of the beast—hahahaha!!!"
"Yes! The Captain is right! Cheers!!!"
"For monsters!! For violence!!!"
"For—ugh…I think I drank too much."
"Ka-ka-ka-ka" Indigo was already standing on stilts and playing his nose flute, twisting and turning like a poisoned clown;
Scarlett was dancing with two monkeys in his arms, and the pirates around him were clapping and cheering, "Captain, you're awesome! You have the best IQ in the world!!"
The entire Sky Island was like a boiling pot of Pirates soup, a mess.
...until a panicked little Pirate, his face bleeding, kicked open the wooden door of the banquet hall:
"Captain! Something terrible is happening! Marine! The Marine is coming from the sky!!"
"Bang!"
The wine jar fell to the ground and broke, and the music stopped abruptly.
Everyone seemed to be frozen in time, and the air was so quiet that you could hear someone's stomach growling.
"…What did you say?"
"Where does Marine come from?" Indigo tilted his head, one eye widening.
"From...the...sky..." The Pirates' legs went weak.
then--
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
"Did you secretly drink the experimental drug I prepared last night?!"
"Marine flying up? Have you ever seen a warship with wings?!"
"Could it be 'Flying Vice Admiral·Little Wings'? Hahahahaha!!!"
Indigo walked towards the window while laughing and jumping in a circle.
"Come, come, let me see which 'Flying General' is coming up——"
He had just looked over for three seconds when his facial muscles twitched.
"N…Nani!?"
Outside the window, thick clouds rolled in, and a black thunder battleship was coming through the air like a chariot of the gods, with lightning flashing and the "G-5" logo hanging high on the bow, as if a Shinigami had descended!
The massive cannons roared, thunder and lightning intertwined, and the entire ship was actually—actually flying!!
"Oh my god—it really flew up ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Indigo sat down on the ground and his nose flute fell into the wine barrel.
The room instantly exploded:
"Is this true?!"
"Oh my god—that battleship is actually floating!!"
"Isn't that the G5 flagship of madman Rogge?!!!"
Golden Lion's expression suddenly turned cold, his golden hair fluttering, his gaze passed through the window frame and locked onto the figure that broke through the thunderclouds.
Conqueror's breath of alcohol dissipated everyone's breath, and he growled in a low voice:
"Everyone!! Standby!!! This is not a drill!!!"
The thunder-swallowing and wind-walking warship was heading straight for the depths of Sky Island with a murderous intent.
The sky suddenly darkened and dark clouds rolled in, like a sky wrinkled by an angry god.
Golden Lion Shiki was suspended in mid-air, his golden hair dancing wildly in the fierce wind. His legs transformed into the famous swords "Sakura Ten" and "Moku", which kept slashing through the air. The dense swarm of sky pirates behind him seemed to swallow up the entire sky.
During the confrontation, the ship was steadily suspended in front of it, surrounded by thunderclouds, like the arrival of Thor's ship, and the oppressive force enveloped the entire sky.
In the center of the deck, Rogge's eyes were cold, and the air around him was shaking like water waves. His unmoving posture was like an iron law declaring destruction in the eyes of everyone.
Rhett had already stepped onto the railing, his blood boiling and his fists pounding.
Enel leaned against the mast, his lips curled up, his ears rumbling with thunder. "It's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to release lightning at this height."
The Golden Lion roared, shaking the heavens, and the sound waves blasted towards the fleet like a strong wind.
"Marine brat—who do you think you are?!!"
"I, Golden Lion Shiki, am a king of my generation, standing alongside the Pirate King 'Roger' and Whitebeard!!! Who gave you the guts to step onto my Sky Island?!"
Before he finished speaking, Rogge had already walked forward slowly, his calmness revealing a solemnity.
"The old guys of your generation should have been in the grave long ago."
"You came here to die?"
His voice was as low as thunder, "...Or should I take you back to the surface?"
"You!!!" Golden Lion was furious. "I'll let you know today that the sky still belongs to me!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a thousand air pirate troops behind him roared out, the warships started, bullets roared, and beast claws slashed wildly, like a doomsday torrent rushing towards the warships!
Lei Te laughed wildly, his body bursting with armed color: "Laozi goes first!!"
He rushed into the sky and threw a punch, and more than ten sky pirates exploded into blood mist in an instant!
"Enel, clear the area!"
"learn."
"Thunder - Pure Realm!!!"
Enel raised his right arm high, and countless lightning arrows transformed from his palm into a pool of thunder, exploding above Sky Island with thunder and lightning that shook the sky!
A large number of sky pirate warships short-circuited and exploded, falling from the sky!
The wind roars, thunder and lightning surge, and Haki explodes!
Golden Lion's two famous swords "Sakura Ten" and "Moku" suddenly shook, and his body swooped down like golden lightning!
"Get off, kid!"
"Lion: Thousand Slice Valley!!!"
Multiple golden Slash Waves tore through the clouds, crossing the sky like a silk thread, and a brief crack was cut into the space!
Rogge remained motionless, only raising one hand—
"Wind Obliteration Wall."
"boom--!!!"
An invisible air pressure barrier instantly formed, and the moment the slash hit the barrier, it was actually exploded in the opposite direction!
The air flow reverses and the clouds collapse!
Golden Lion's pupils suddenly shrank: "Interesting!" Laughing wildly, the two swords crossed, and Conqueror's Haki surged like a raging wave!
"Sky Slash: Hurricane Fang——!!!"
The golden sword energy intertwined into a hurricane, tearing through the atmosphere and heading straight for Rogge's face!
Rogge Shunpo dodged, his figure turned into an afterimage, and the air compressed and exploded under his feet!
"Air Lock·Shock Drop!"
"Ka--!" The air suddenly solidified, wrapping around the Golden Lion's limbs like invisible chains!
"Hmph!" Golden Lion Conqueror's burst broke out, shattering the air lock!
"This little trick won't work on Laozi!"
"Lion Majesty: Govern Place Earth Coiling!!!"
The entire Sky Island trembled, and the surface rocks condensed into a floating mass! Dozens of giant lion heads rose from the ground, roaring and biting at Rogge!
Rogge glanced coldly, his right hand clenched loosely—
"Air pressure collapse."
"BOOM!!!!"
The lion's head was compressed into pieces the moment of contact, and the terrifying air pressure even flattened half of the island!
"Kid...you're funnier than Sengoku!"
Rogge placed the warship behind him and slowly rose into the air. The air pressure around him was distorted, and Conqueror's and fruit abilities were perfectly integrated!
"Your time is long over."
[Floating Sky Island·West Front——Right vs. Scaredo]
"roar--!!!"
Scaredo's bones cracked, his gorilla-like muscles expanded to the limit, and his fists, wrapped in high-voltage electricity and anesthetic mist, smashed towards Rhett like a war hammer!
The ground collapsed instantly, and gravel flew everywhere!
Rhett grinned, wrapped Armament Haki around his fists, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
"Ba Quan·Hundred Continuations!!!"
"砰砰砰砰砰——!!!"
The fist shadows poured down like a rainstorm, and each blow hit Scaredo's weak joints accurately!
The gorilla's skeleton twisted and deformed under the impact of the armed color, and sparks flew!
"You are the beast and I am the hunter!"
Rhett laughed wildly, suddenly gathering strength with his right elbow, and compressing Haki to the limit!
"Thunder Elbow Strike: Armor Break!!!"
"Crack!"
Scarlett's metal breastplate was smashed through, and blood splattered!
But Scaredo went crazy and ignored his injuries, clamping Rhett tightly with his arms!
"Sizzle, sizzle—!!!"
A high voltage current erupted, and Rhett's muscles tensed up. He used his armed color to resist the electric shock, and his knees shot up like a cannonball!
"Steel Knee Rising Dragon!!!"
"boom--!!!"
Scaredo was blown hundreds of meters away, crashing through three floating rocks, and smoke and dust rose into the sky!
Lei Te shook his numb arms, his fighting spirit even stronger:
"My buddy is the God of Thunder, and you're going to shock me with electricity?"
"Come again!!"
[Floating Sky Island·East Wing Research Tower——Enel VS Indigo]
"Chemical Magic: Hundred Medicine Hanabi!!!"
Indigo tumbled in the air like a clown, his cape throwing out dozens of colorful explosive balls, and poisonous mist, acid, and Hypnosis gas intertwined into deadly fireworks!
Enel was suspended in mid-air, his heart network fully open, lightning dancing at his fingertips.
"It's a boring trick."
"30 million volts Thunderbird!!!"
The giant bird condensed with lightning spread its wings and dived down, accurately penetrating each chemical ball and detonating it in advance!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
The shock wave of the explosion was evaporated by lightning before it could spread!
Indigo's pupils shrank, and he suddenly threw out his hidden killer move:
"Delayed Poison Balloon Trio!!!"
The three balloons that seemed to be floating slowly suddenly accelerated and surrounded Enel from different angles!
Enel didn't even look up, and tapped the golden stick lightly.
"Divine Judgment: Lightning Pillar!!!"
"BOOM——!!!"
A towering lightning pillar descended from the sky, not only shattering the poisonous ball, but also turning the entire research tower into charcoal!
"Ahhhh——!" Indigo was blown away by the aftermath, smoke all over his body, and fell into the ruins.
Enel looked down indifferently, lightning forming a field around him:
"Miscellaneous soldiers, don't get in the way."
"20 million volts, discharge, lightning net!!!"
The lightning spread like a spider web, instantly clearing out the Flying Pirates' miscellaneous soldiers within a radius of 100 meters, and charred bodies fell like rain!
