166 Chapter 166 - Skypiea 02.
[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
Skypiea, First Half of Grandline.
....
...
As the threatening attack approached the Black Pearl, illuminating everything, the crew panicked. Luffy raised his hand calmly, a vibrant flame emerging, a result of his Akuma no Mi powers, shooting skyward in a bright arc. The shot, so powerful, made the ship sink slightly in the cloud sea, sounding like a cannon.
This flame was like when Luffy attacked Baroque Works outside Whisky Peak. It shot up at high speed to meet Enel's lightning. Their clash, Luffy's chaos flame against Enel's lightning, was cataclysmic. The collision neutralized both attacks, creating a monumental shockwave, a spectacle of light and sound, violently rocking the Black Pearl, almost submerging it.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
The explosion reverberated across Skypiea, a deafening detonation echoing through the skies, shaking the island. Surrounding clouds were lit by a blinding light, and the shockwave spread in all directions, reaching even the city of angels.
In the city, inhabitants looked up, stunned and alarmed. "What is that?!" a resident with small wings on his back exclaimed in shock.
"God Enel is angry!" another shouted, voice trembling with fear.
"What was that explosion?!" a third asked, as the city was enveloped in shadows by the huge smoke cloud.
The city of angels trembled, structures swaying from the impact, people crowding the streets, looking up in a mix of fear and fascination. The sky battle between Luffy and Enel was just beginning, and nobody knew what was happening with the impact between flames, rocks, and lightning, but everyone in Skypiea felt they were about to witness an epic event.
Beyond the sky, the explosion even echoed in the sea below, making many look up with curiosity while sailing.
Meanwhile, aboard the Black Pearl, Luffy's crew finally reacted to the colossal explosion. Each member reacted with a mix of shock and readiness.
Chopper let out a sharp scream, "AHHHHHHHHH!", hiding behind a cannon, his eyes wide with fear.
Karoo, Vivi's loyal duck, clucked frantically, clearly disturbed by the sudden boom and ensuing turmoil as Vivi ran after him.
Nojiko, with a worried expression, quickly turned to Luffy. "Luffy, what the heck was that?!" she demanded, seeking answers about the source of the frightening explosion.
Zoro, always ready for battle, immediately grabbed his swords, bracing for any imminent threat. "An enemy?!" he questioned aloud.
Yamato, cautious, approached Luffy, asking seriously, "Luffy, who is this? Why did he attack us?" Her expression was of someone ready to face any danger, anticipating a possible confrontation.
"Ahhhhh!! Enel is furious!" The old lady with wings at the gate didn't care about Luffy anymore as
she jumped into a boat and began to row away with all her strength.
Ignoring the old lady, Luffy turned to his crew before looking up again. "This self-proclaimed God of this place, his name is Enel," Luffy said, looking at the destruction with solemn eyes, a slight trace of disdain in his words.
Hachi couldn't hide his nervousness. "Nee... A god?!" he exclaimed, anxiety evident in his voice.
Nami approached Luffy with a questioning expression. "But you don't seem to believe he's really a god, do you?" she inquired, seeking to better understand the situation.
Luffy replied with an ironic smile. "He's not a god. Just a guy with the Logia of thunder, powerful, but far from a god as he claims. He's more like an arrogant mayor," Luffy explained, clearly belittling the attacker.
As he finished, another lightning bolt came from the sky, and Luffy responded with another shot of his flames.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM*
"Luffy, the thunder Logia is a disaster-category fruit!" Robin exclaimed, alarmed.
"It's okay. We can handle it. It's powerful, but I'll deal with that guy," Luffy decided, turning to Yamato. "Yamato, besides me, you might be the only one who can handle his lightning on our ship. Can you stay here to protect it?" He asked. He could let Yamato handle it, but as the captain and someone who watched the original work, would he leave dealing with the legendary Enel to a third party? Of course not.
"Yes, Luffy. I can do that," Yamato replied, and Luffy nodded.
"Nami and Hugo. You want to come along to use your powers? There are some priests you can handle," Luffy said, knowing Enel could hear every word, but not caring. Nami and Hugo agreed.
"I want to fight too!" Zoro immediately wanted to join.
"Zoro, you should train with this lightning. The world's greatest swordsman can even cut lightning," Luffy suggested, and Zoro agreed after some thought.
"I think you're right!" He said.
"I guess we're useless here..." Reiju commented.
"We're just spectators..." Lami remarked.
"Luffy-Sama. Stay safe!" Shirahoshi said worriedly.
"It's going to be fine. I'll go ahead, you catch up later. The rest can go to the city of angels and enjoy the place. I can handle Enel," Luffy said before releasing a speed 50 times faster and disappeared, practically flying while jumping in the air with Geppo.
Luffy immediately passed the city of angels, watching people frightened by Enel's lightning falling while Luffy exploded them with his flames. In the air, lightning bolts started falling towards him; he smiled, dodging them while jumping. Mid-flight, Luffy transformed his body into flames to disintegrate approaching lightning. Each threatening bolt was met with a "Soru" to move at almost imperceptible speed, appearing meters ahead in the air, always a step ahead.
Lightning!
With a bolt cutting the sky towards him, Luffy dodged at the last second with a "Soru," laughing loudly with the thrill of the chase.
Soru
Again, another bolt tried to hit him, but Luffy, with a mix of grace and power, leapt sideways, easily dodging.
Lightning!
A third bolt followed a similar pattern,
but Luffy, now anticipating the movement, lunged forward, avoiding the impact.
Soru
Each "Soru" was an aerial ballet, a dance of quick reflexes and calculated movements.
*Lightning!*
*Soru*
*Lightning!*
*Soru*
*Lightning!*
*Soru*
*Lightning!*
*Soru*
*Lightning!*
*Soru*
Laughing euphorically, Luffy shouted to the sky, "Hahahahahaha! This is so much fun, Enel! But I have to admit, the speed of lightning is impressive. Even with my increased speed, I still need 'Soru' to keep safe!"
The lightning continued to strike, each one a challenge met with laughter and evasion, a dangerous game only he could play. He was a near-mythical figure, a pirate challenging a god, dancing among the sky's lightning bolts.
*Lightning!*
*Soru*
Luffy looked at his destination, an island with a huge tree and the golden bell. This is Skypiea's main area and one of its most sacred. Known as Upper Yard, it's the largest land area in Skypiea.
"Who would have thought this island belonged to the lower sea, but was raised here by the Knock Up Stream," Luffy murmured quietly as he dodged another lightning strike, his eyes scanning the area covered by a dense forest with diverse geography, including ancient ruins, lakes, and mountains. Upper Yard is also the site of the "Golden City," Shandora.
Becoming bored with Enel's incessant attacks, Luffy decided to confront the self-proclaimed god directly. With a challenging smile, he firmly positioned himself in the air, creating wings on his back.
"Enel! You cowardly fool, will you keep hiding, launching these weak lightning strikes?! Are you such a weak god?!" Luffy changed his Speed ability to sound in mid-air, his voice heard throughout the islands.
'With this, I'm sure Enel won't stay put. He's too proud to stay in his place after everyone hears this...' Luffy reasoned.
And he was right, Enel's response was immediate with lightning emerging from a temple in the forest, known as God's Shrine. The bolt moved toward Luffy in the air but stopped 200 meters away while he used his feet to stay airborne with Geppo.
Enel appeared in front of him, just as Luffy imagined, with his large ears, drums on his back, and iconic look.
Enel looked at Luffy with a frown. His sharp, blade-like eyes fixed on Luffy, frowning in a mix of interest and disdain. The sudden appearance of the Black Pearl, a ship from the lower sea, in his heavenly kingdom, initially piqued his curiosity. However, the mortal's arrogance, openly declaring Skypiea now belonged to the Straw Hats, quickly turned Enel's curiosity into fury.
With an impetuous movement, Enel conjured a devastating lightning bolt, aiming to annihilate Luffy and his ship in one stroke. Electricity buzzed in the air, charged with lethal intent. But to his surprise, Luffy not only withstood but also confronted the lightning. Enel watched, almost in disbelief, as his attack was interrupted by flames produced by the pirate and successfully combated by the man in front of him. Luffy's ability to deal with the lightning seemed beyond luck; but as he tried to destroy the ship, the lightning was effortlessly stopped by this man in front. It was a direct challenge to Enel's authority and power.
But what enraged him even more was this pirate openly saying he wasn't a god and even calling him a mayor, a front to his divine existence. As the pirate approached, even launching lightning at him in the air, Enel tried to destroy the ship. A man attempted to cut his lightning but was struck, and when he thought he would destroy the mortal's companions, his lightning was repelled by a horned woman.
Enel's frustrations only increased as this man seemed to enjoy evading his attacks, and the peak of his wrath came when he loudly declared for the entire island that he was a coward and questioned his God status. Enel immediately flew toward him, teeth clenched at the mocking look of the pirate.
Facing Luffy with a furious glare, Enel roared, "You, you foolish mortal! I will destroy you!"
Luffy, unflappable and with a defiant smile, responded disdainfully. "Oh? I'd like to see that, little lightning. Your fruit is powerful, but that makes
you nothing more than a fool with some power." Luffy's words echoed through the air, laden with audacity.
The battle between the captain of the Straw Hats and the self-proclaimed god of Skypiea was about to unfold shortly after Luffy arrived in this realm.
