The lightning finally slowly dissipated, and the flashes and roars gradually died down; the entire Sky Island returned to tranquility at this moment.
However, everything on the battlefield remained unsettled—
Luffy stood steadily in mid-air, without a single injury on his body, his aura stable and powerful.
Only his eyes, still fixed on the enemy before him—Eneru—were filled with calmness and menace.
"Is that all?" Luffy's voice was cold and contemptuous.
His lips curved slightly upwards, as if watching a comical farce.
Eneru was dumbfounded; he couldn't believe his eyes.
The lightning, which he had thought would be a fatal blow, struck Luffy, yet he remained completely unharmed, as if it had hit thin air.
A strong sense of disbelief surged in Eneru's heart, and his confidence began to crumble—
This person, whom he had regarded as an "ant," had completely ignored his so-called "God of Thunder Power."
Luffy, however, had no interest in continuing to waste words with Eneru.
His gaze was indifferent, his movements swift.
Slowly, he raised his right arm, and a thick Armament Haki instantly covered his entire arm.
The black aura solidified like steel, exuding endless deterrence.
"Armament, Rocket!" Luffy roared, his voice echoing like thunder through the clouds.
Eneru heard the roar and scoffed, not taking Luffy's attack seriously in the slightest:
"I am a God! A God who can transform into lightning; no matter what attack you use, you can't hit me!"
Eneru's words were full of confidence, but that confidence looked like hollow hypocrisy in Luffy's eyes.
Luffy's gaze gradually cooled, his lips curved slightly upwards, his tone carrying a hint of disdain:
"What a pathetic bumpkin, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a Logia-type Devil Fruit User.
Today, I'll show you the truth of this world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy's right arm suddenly elongated like a spring.
With the enhancement of Armament Haki, his fist, carrying the power of a mountain, instantly slammed down from mid-air towards Eneru.
Before Eneru could react, he only felt a powerful current of Qi sweep over him, striking him.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Eneru's pupils widened abruptly; he couldn't understand what had happened at all.
He couldn't comprehend how he, who could transform into lightning, could be hit by a physical object.
All the lightning in the entire world stopped at this one blow.
Luffy's strike, carrying unimaginable power, heavily hit Eneru's chest.
"Bang!" With a deafening roar, Eneru's body completely lost balance at that moment.
His chest violently caved in, his entire ribcage instantly collapsing.
Immediately, he was directly slammed into the Ark's deck by the impact force, like a cannonball.
The immense power tore through the hull, leaving a deep crack.
But this was not the end—with the aftershock of that power.
Eneru's body was thrown out like a kite with a broken string, sweeping across the Ark.
"Thump!" With a dull thud, a huge hole was created by Eneru's body.
He shot through the air and finally plunged into the White Sea leading to the land.
The surroundings were dead silent, the air solidified.
Luffy's figure still stood in the air, without a trace of triumph on his face.
With this blow, the war on Sky Island seemed to suddenly enter a different phase.
Eneru's "God"-like authority finally collapsed at this moment.
Along with the lightning that had once awed everything, it was mercilessly defeated.
As Eneru's body fell, the Ark lost power, plummeting towards the White Sea like a giant bird with broken wings.
After the flickering lightning disappeared, a brief silence returned to the skies above Sky Island.
Lin Ning gazed at the Ark about to crash and whispered, "This Ark is sparkling with gold; it seems to be made of the gold from the Golden City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nami's eyes suddenly lit up, and her expression quickly turned anxious:
"No! It can't fall!" She almost roared a command:
"Zoro, Sanji, bring the Ark back to me; it absolutely cannot fall!"
Sanji immediately obeyed Nami's command, and although Zoro continued to complain, he quickly took action.
Sanji used Moonwalk to quickly float up and ascend into the air.
A flash of understanding crossed his eyes, and he pushed off the ground.
He instantly traversed the air, rapidly approaching the Ark that was about to fall.
At that moment, Sanji suddenly kicked out, "Diable Jambe!"
His kick, carrying fierce power, heavily struck the bottom of the Ark, accompanied by a roaring sound that tore through the air.
The Ark's downward trajectory suddenly changed, pushed by Sanji's immense strength towards the edge of the ruins.
At this moment, Zoro was not to be outdone; he had already pounced towards the edge of the ruins where the Ark was about to fall.
He stretched out his arms, ready to catch it at this critical moment.
Just then, Nami, Robin, and Usopp's gazes all focused on Zoro.
Their eyes were wide open, unable to believe the scene before them.
Zoro stood there, his feet as steady as a rock, his arms raised high towards the sky.
His body was slightly bent, his muscles prominently outlined in the air, like a steel sculpture.
The huge Ark, like a giant turtle shell, was rapidly falling, yet Zoro caught it with his bare hands.
"Thump!" With a loud bang, Zoro lifted the Ark with one hand, like an ant lifting a large steamed bun.
The visual impact stunned everyone around.
Nami, Robin, and Usopp's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Zoro..." Nami almost stammered his name, her eyes shining with incredible light.
Robin also exclaimed, "What terrifying strength!"
Then, Zoro gave a mighty swing, the power in his arms erupting, and the Ark was fiercely thrown to the center of the ruins.
The massive golden hull landed, emitting a deafening roar.
The ground shook with it, and the golden light almost stung everyone's eyes.
Fragments of the Ark scattered, revealing its internal golden structure, shimmering with brilliant radiance.
Nami's eyes almost sparked when she saw the Ark's golden structure.
She was so excited she almost lost control, rushing towards the golden glow:
"Is this... is this the Ark made of all the gold from the Golden City? It really is built of gold!"
Her voice was filled with shock and excitement.
"Wow..." Usopp and Chopper were also stunned, their eyes filled with shock.
Sanji couldn't help but mutter, "It really is made of gold; how many Berries must such a huge golden ship be worth?"
At this moment, Luffy also ran down from the sky, and seeing the sparkling golden ship, he cheered:
"Treasure!!!"
"This is the grand adventure we've been waiting for!!!"
