Chapter 304: Give Me a FewAs a Priest, Shura was naturally familiar with the impact dial, and of course, he knew he could withstand a single blow from an impact dial. Even though his chest had been pierced by a spear, and he had taken a hit from Satoru's Hagoku and Air Compression Technique, and was now wrapped in bandages, he should still be able to handle it.But multiply that by ten, and it would be game over... "Here, take half my shoulder if you want it.""However, you'll pay with your life!""Reject!"The Reject Dial, ten times the power of an impact dial, exploded at such close range. Shura's eyes rolled back, the bandages on his chest were stained red with seeping blood, and blood spurted from his mouth.Wapol retracted his hand, and Shura fell straight backward, unable to rise again.The Survival Game had just begun: one person eliminated, 82 remaining.The power of the Reject Dial was immense, yet it was a move that injured the user 800 while injuring the enemy 1000.Satoru acknowledged Wapol's physique; if it were his clone, his hand would probably be crippled after just one move."Wapol! Do you want to die?""If you use the Reject Dial again, you'll be blown away too!!"Mantis shouted.Wapol ignored him, raising his special shoulder-mounted cannon weapon toward Satoru on the tree branch.Satoru remained silent, his expression calm.Suddenly, he raised his hands and clapped, "Clap, clap, clap. That's truly amazing, defeating Shura in one move, though it wasn't a difficult task.""Do you have any more Reject Dials?""Give me a few."Satoru stretched out his hand, looking perfectly justified in asking for something free.(At the Shrine, Eneru's laughter rang out."Hahahahaha.""Why are you so happy, God? Did the enemy Admiral lose?"Seeing Eneru laugh so heartily, the Attendant's guess was reasonable.Who knew Eneru's answer would be:"Shura lost, hahahaha."Attendant:...)Satoru's brazen request stunned even Wapolslightly.Calling Shura a senior?! You've become Eneru's running dog too!!These were Wapol's inner thoughts, but he wouldn't speak them aloud.Instead, he fired his cannon immediately!!Satoru drew the ordinary long sword he had taken from the Shrine armory, raised it, and slashed down, splitting the cannonball in two.For Satoru, who possessed the swordsmanship of Shanks, Hawkeye, and Zoro, accomplishing this was nothing.If the Main Body were serious and only competed in techniques, Zoro really wouldn't be an opponent, but when it came to the comprehension of Swordsmanship, Satoru was naturally inferior to Zoro.Holding the sword single-handedly, his gaze was sharp, radiating an imposing aura.Wapol felt a greater threat emanating from Satoruthan from Shura.The hand gripping the cannon barrel tightened, yet the next second, Satoru turned and ran!He turned and ran?...The Divine Soldiers—who had pointed horns on their heads, wings on their backs, elongated earlobes, and voices like goats—entered the fray. The Slash Dials in their hands were weapons capable of easily cutting through Skypiean shields.On Luffy's side, he was tapping a tree branch against his shoulder to keep rhythm, singing a "pleasant" song that Garp had taught him. After he and Satoru arrived at Dadan's House, Satorurepeatedly asked him not to sing it again, or at least not where he could hear it. It was too demonic; at night, when he lay down, his mind was filled with that sound.He turned and KO'd a dishonorable Divine Soldier with a punch, just like Bellamy. Turning back, he encountered Wapol again.Given Wapol's stance and personality, they had to fight.The two exchanged a few moves, both wholeheartedly taking a Gum-Gum Rocket and a Burn Bazooka. Just as they were about to continue, Luffy fell into the mouth of the Lord of the Sky.Well, until he reaches the top of the beanstalk, Luffy's part is over... On Zoro's side, he was still searching for the correct path, muttering "right, right, right" while continuously walking left... The useless Crew Spirit emerged.The difference was that Luffy faced Divine Soldiers who used sneak attacks, while the Skypiean Zoroencountered used a frontal assault.The similarity was that both were finished in one move.Zoro drew his sword and used the hilt to deliver a massive slap to the attacking Skypiean.He sheathed his sword and continued walking.A miserable shout was heard."I surrender! I surrender! Spare me!!"It was a Divine Soldier covered in blood, who was instantly shot in the head the next second.Seeing this, Zoro immediately re-gripped his sword hilt.Then, Buharam, one of the main forces of the Skypieans, emerged.
Chapter 305: My Master and Half-MasterZoro's journey to find the correct path was currently progressing further and further away. He then encountered Buharam, one of the Skypiean main generals, who wielded two guns... "Here we go again! If you're not a god or a priest, don't provoke me! I'm in a hurry."Zoro said.But Buharam clearly didn't listen and raised his two guns, firing bullets.Buharam's twin guns were called Flash Guns. Each time they fired, a strong flash of light would interfere with the enemy's vision, making them a weapon that combined a pistol and a flashbang.The strong light made Zoro unable to open his eyes, and he immediately ducked to dodge the bullets.Buharam jumped off a tree trunk, gaining height, intending to continue pursuing Zoro. However, at that moment, a voice said, "Don't move."Buharam's alarm bells immediately rang. He spun his body in mid-air and fired two shots in the direction of the voice.Then, two more gunshots were heard from that direction. The bullets from both sides collided in mid-air, canceling each other out, sparking before falling to the ground.Buharam looked at the four intertwined bullets on the ground, his heart filled with shock. At the same time, he focused all his attention on the dark area in the tree.He was a gun user, so he naturally knew that it wasn't impossible to shoot down an incoming bullet, but it required extremely strong capture ability, reaction time, and precision.To capture the bullet's position, react, and shoot with precision at such close range, the person who could do it was definitely a master gunman.Zoro straightened up, but instead of keeping his hand on his sword hilt, he took it off, looking at the dark area on the branch of the large tree to his left, just like Buharam."Satoru."Zoro called out the name.Satoru's figure indeed emerged from the shadows, his lowered hands gripping two pistols.He had defeated many Skypieans by now, so picking up two guns was easy."What Satoru?""Please call me Priest Bai Yun now.""This is the Trial of Guns, with a one hundred percent survival rate.""No killing, just crippling. The main point is to have fun."Satoru perfectly adapted to his current role as a priest.Zoro didn't answer; Satoru doing this was not surprising at all."He's all yours."Zoro said.Satoru nodded, smiling slightly, "Of course. It'll be your turn soon; I'll come find you."Zoro's lips curled into a slight smile. He was really getting into character. "Alright, I'll be waiting."With that, Zoro turned and ran, still in the wrong direction... Zoro left, leaving only Satoru on the branch and Buharam on the ground.Both were gunmen; this was a gunmanship duel.Satoru raised his two guns, and Buharam immediately became wary."When it comes to gunmanship,""I only respect two people.""My master and half-master.""Gambling, drinking, whoring, and stealing Benn Beckman.""Abandoning wife and child Yasopp.""Don't disappoint me."After speaking, Satoru instantly fired, bullets spewing forth.Buharam had been on guard and likewise raised his two guns and fired.One bullet was intercepted, and the other grazed past Satoru's bullet.Satoru merely turned his body slightly to dodge the bullet.Buharam, however, showed a hint of panic, moving to the right and narrowly dodging."Not bad, being able to intercept one is already very impressive."Satoru said in a praising tone. It would be fine for his own people, but for an enemy, it sounded like mockery.But Satoru was indeed praising him. To be able to intercept a bullet with a bullet without Observation Haki showed how much training he had put into his gunmanship."Flash Guns, not bad. Can you give them to me?"Satoru continued, just as righteously as when he asked Wapol for the Reject Dial during Shura's Trial of Strings."I admit your gunmanship, Blue Sea man."Buharam replied."Oh, so you're admitting defeat?"Satoru asked.Buharam shook his head. "The Skypieans never surrender. The Light of Shandora will shine again."After saying this, Buharam seemed to gain a buff, his aura surging. His waver burst forth, and he actively attacked Satoru.
Chapter 306: Gun DuelThe wind rose and the clouds surged.The forest of Skypiea became extraordinarily lively, and people fell every moment.Not far to the southeast of the Altar, gunshots erupted everywhere; it was Satoru and Buhalam engaged in a gun duel.Since setting sail until now, he hadn't encountered anyone skilled in gunmanship. Last time, against Auger and Blackbeard, Satoru only wanted to beat them down, using only copied abilities and no gun techniques.This time, engaging in a gun duel with Buhalam, he could finally go all out... For Skypiea, and to relight the Lamp of Shandora, Buhalam proactively launched an attack against Satoru.The waver under his feet burst forward, and Buhalam raised his Twin Guns, but aimed in different directions: one shot targeted Satoru, and the other targeted the branch beneath his feet.Satoru could dodge, but the branch couldn't.White light flashed, and bullets shot out. However, Satoru tightly closed his eyes, raised his gun, and fired, intercepting one of Buhalam's bullets.The other bullet accurately struck the branch, snapping it with a *patta* sound.At that moment, Buhalam used the waver's momentum to reach directly beneath Satoru's feet. He leveled out, bent backward, and fired a bullet at the ground beneath Satoru.For a moment, it felt strange, but Buhalam didn't stop. He straightened up, pulled out a Cloud Dial from his waistband, shooting out a River of Clouds shaped like a cane. His feet never stopped moving; the waver rode the River of Clouds to the end, and he immediately hung upside down, raising his Twin Guns toward Satoru, but instantly froze.According to Buhalam's calculations, Satoru should have fallen from the branch, and his current landing position would be level with Buhalam, who was hanging upside down on the River of Clouds with his guns raised.But Satoru was nowhere to be seen. Instead, even after the branch broke, he remained standing steadily on top of it, as if an invisible branch were supporting him.The bullet Buhalam had just fired from directly below was now embedded in the ground, having been deflected downward by the Air Cannon blast created by Satoru's Air Compression Technique.Satoru slowly turned around, his eyes still closed. "It seems you didn't know I could fly.""Fly..."Buhalam fell helplessly from the River of Clouds. A waver is not a magnet, and the River of Clouds is not iron, so he naturally couldn't stick to it.Performing a somersault to adjust his posture, Buhalam wasn't about to fall head over heels because of his own move.However, just as he flipped and descended, Satoruinstantly made his move.Bullets targeted Buhalam's feet. Buhalam immediately lifted his legs, using the waver's wind power to rush forward.Satoru also took a step then, leaning down, and his Twin Guns unleashed a torrent of bullets.Buhalam had nowhere to hide and immediately raised his Twin Guns to shoot back at Satoru.White light and sparks flew everywhere.The waver cannot fly; it can only glide temporarily using wind power. Buhalam descended in a parabola, his body staggering.Two clear bullet holes were visible in his left shoulder and right leg.Before he could make a move, Satoru's voice and gun barrel were upon him."Don't move."Feeling the gun barrel pressed against the back of his head, Buhalam showed no obvious sign of panic."Trading injuries for injuries, that's truly brave. Are all you Skypieans this reckless?"Satoru said."Only this way is there a chance of victory."Buhalam replied faintly.Satoru couldn't help but shake his head. "You are still too naive."As soon as Satoru finished speaking, Buhalam surprisingly felt the gun barrel leave the back of his head. Regardless, he chose to immediately turn around and swing his hand out to strike.Satoru ducked to avoid the strike, and when he stood up, his Twin Guns were already holstered at his waist.He then reached out and grabbed Buhalam's wrists, twisting hard. Buhalam cried out in pain and loosened his grip, dropping his Twin Guns. Satoruimmediately released his wrists, caught the Twin Guns, and unceremoniously pocketed them."Thank you for your gift."Satoru pressed a Shining Gun against Buhalam's chest and said.Buhalam looked at Satoru's right shoulder, which he had been confident he hit. There was no wound on it, only a hole torn in the clothing.
Chapter 307: Take Off Your Mask"Rest well!""Hagoku!"With Satoru's Hagoku palm strike, Buharam was sent flying backward, crashing into a tree. After leaving his human-shaped imprint on it, he fell to the ground, unable to get up. He couldn't understand how Satoru had blocked the bullet, or if he had missed.After Shura, another main force from the Skypieanside was lost... The battle in the forest intensified, but the main battle had only just begun.Only Shura and Buharam had been defeated among the main commanders.After Chopper veered off course, he headed southeast. The fighting between the Skypieans and the God's Soldiers along the way scared him to death. While rushing and avoiding being caught in the battle, Chopper happened to run into Gedatsu's Swamp Trial grounds."Beast!""Completely lost...""Everyone... Luffy, Zoro, Robin..."Chopper, snot and tears streaming, walked past Gedatsu, ignoring him completely due to his overwhelming sadness.Gedatsu merely stood with his arms crossed, his gaze following Chopper, thinking to himself, "It's a fox..."The intelligence of these two was comparable... Eneru's Observation Haki covered the entire country.Basically, no movement could escape his ears.For example, Luffy and his crew's intentions, their plans, and their groupings, Eneru heard them all clearly.Therefore, he arrived on the going merry, intercepting the Straw Hat Pirates' retreat group."Stop it!!"The moment Eneru appeared and spoke, Sanjiturned and kicked at him. Before his foot could land, his entire body was engulfed in lightning. Forest Mask Bai Yun's shout was already too late.Sanji was charred black by the electricity, his clothes tattered."Sanji!!""Sanji!! Sanji!!!"Nami and Usopp immediately rushed to Sanji's side, shouting worriedly.Gan Fall's forehead was already covered in sweat."Don't move!"Satoru drew his twin pistols and aimed them at Eneru."Sanji, pull yourself together!!!""I can't hear his heartbeat!!"Usopp placed his hand on Sanji's chest but felt no pulsation, shouting with a tone of despair.Nami also couldn't believe it, "You're lying..."But Eneru, the culprit, felt nothing for his actions."Yahahaha, what a fool, I didn't come to hurt you...""Put that toy down, it's useless against me."The second sentence, Eneru clearly said to Satoru."What are you here for then!"Gan Fall shouted, asking."Yahahaha, your tone is too cold, we haven't seen each other in six years.""Former God, Gan Fall."Eneru's tone and expression always showed that he didn't put anyone in his sight, no matter where he was.Usopp's brain was already overwhelmed by the grief of Sanji's "death.""Beast! This guy... killed Sanji!!!""Sanji! Sanji!! If only Chopper were here!""I can't hear anything, nothing at all, his heart isn't beating, hey! Sanji!!"Satoru couldn't listen anymore and stopped pretending, "Usopp, feel the right side."Usopp had an epiphany."Wow!! His heart is beating!!""That's great, he's alive.""But he's severely injured, he might die!!""What, this is serious, this is bad."Nami and Usopp kept talking to themselves as if Eneru wasn't there.Eneru raised an eyebrow. Although he was smiling, that smile clearly carried killing intent.He flashed forward. Satoru had kept his attention on him and, seeing this, immediately tripped him."Ah!"Usopp stumbled straight forward, his nose hitting the deck directly, while the lightning that shot from Eneru's fingertips flew right past his head.Eneru was surprised that he had missed and stared intently at Satoru."Take off your mask."
Chapter 308: Satoru vs. Eneru"Take off your mask."After Forest Mask Bai Yun tripped Usopp, allowing him to dodge Eneru's lightning, Eneru finally spoke those words."Why don't you tell me the purpose of your visit here, God Enel."Satoru replied."Heh heh, I merely came to bid farewell to my old friend, Gan Fall.""That massive project, which took six years, is coming to an end. This means I will no longer have any interest in this island.""It's just hilarious to think that Sky Residents like Gan Fall have always treated this island as just an ordinary island.""Those... no, why do you Blue Sea People continuously flock to Sky Island, coming here? Isn't it for the legendary 'Golden City' that once flourished in the Blue Sea?""Everyone just wants to obtain the legacy of Shandora!"Gan Fall was puzzled."Gold? What exactly are you talking about?!"Eneru looked at Satoru and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, look at these foolish people! The gold is right in front of them, yet they don't know its value. I find it absolutely hilarious every time I think about it! Hahaha!!"Eneru laughed unrestrainedly, rivaling the Four Maniacal Laughers of Uchiha. Suddenly, his laughter ceased, and his gaze remained fixed on Satoru."Now, take off your mask!"This time, Eneru's tone implied that if Satoru didn't do it himself, Eneru would personally intervene.Hearing him say this, Satoru also smiled."Hahaha, do you really want to see my face that badly?""Isn't it just to see if I look like my foolish little brother?"As Satoru spoke, he took off the Fox Mask on his face, revealing his features."My foolish little brother has been under your care, God Enel.""Little brother?"Nami, Usopp, and Gan Fall were confused because they didn't know about the existence of Priest Bai Yun."Little brother..."Eneru expressed suspicion regarding Satoru's words, but lacking proof, he felt indifferent. One Satoru or two Satorus made no difference to him; the only difference was that if they opposed him, he would simply kill them."Your little brother is certainly much more interesting than you, Ye Hahaha.""Tell me, if I kill you, will your little brother still work for me?""I was also thinking, if I kill you, my foolish little brother should return, right?"Facing Eneru's killing intent, Satoru showed no fear, even appearing slightly arrogant.Hearing this, the smile on Eneru's face vanished. "Indeed, you are not as interesting as your little brother."After speaking, Eneru launched his attack. His speed was extremely fast, but Satoru was able to keep up. Satoru flew up, avoiding the hand that reached out for him.He performed a flip in the air and, while upside down, fired two shots at Eneru.Eneru was initially disdainful of this kind of attack—lightning couldn't be hit—but his Observation Hakisensed a scent of threat, causing him to step right and dodge. The bullets struck the deck with a 'clack-clack' sound, piercing through it.Looking at the pierced deck, Eneru shimmered into the air, confronting Satoru."What is your ability?""Mere bullets making me sense danger."Although he spoke of danger, there was no noticeable concern in Eneru's tone."Guess."These two words were quickly becoming Satoru's catchphrase.Eneru raised an eyebrow. Guess? I'll guess your grandmother.He lifted a finger, and a bolt of lightning struck out.Satoru sidestepped to dodge, the lightning illuminating his face. Before he could turn his body back, Eneru was already in front of him, kicking toward his chest.Having taken the kick squarely, Satoru's body rapidly retreated, stopping just before hitting a tree trunk.Putting his foot down, Eneru had already sensed the presence of Armament Haki."An invisible armor, capable of resisting attacks and touching lightning?""Is that your ability?"Satoru stuck out his tongue and licked away the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. "I already told you: Guess.""If you guess correctly, you're impressive."
Chapter 309: You Can Die Now!!The Skypiea Survival Battle was in full swing.People were falling at every moment.As for the main forces, at the beginning, Priest Shurawas taken down by Wapol, the Skypiean Buharam was defeated by Priest Bai Yun, and during his battle with Wapol, Luffy accidentally fell into the Lord of the Sky's mouth, temporarily putting him out of commission.Meanwhile, Eneru, the final boss of Skypiea, had found his way to the going merry.Forest Mask Bai Yun vs. God Eneru... "You're impressive if you guessed correctly."Eneru, like Shura and Ohm, had never encountered Armament Haki.Are all the people who have come up to Sky Islandin recent years so useless?But even with Armament Haki covering part of his chest, Satoru taking a solid kick from Eneru still didn't feel good.It seems the clone needs to be renamed "15-Minute Real Man"; at night it's 30 minutes.Facing Satoru's words, Eneru wasn't in the mood to ask any further. Since blood was flowing from Satoru's mouth, this "invisible armor" wasn't that hard. (I personally think that Armament Haki is colorless, but Armament Haki Hardening has color, and other uses also have color. Satoru's Armament Haki is only at an elementary level now, and the clone can't achieve hardening, so I wrote 'invisible armor.' Later, I'll write 'colored' to make it easier to express.)"Bang! Bang!!""30 Million Volts: Lightning Bird!"Eneru raised the golden staff in his hand, struck the taiko drum on his right shoulder, and released the lightning he had created from the drum. The lightning then transformed into a phoenix-shaped Lightning Bird that flew rapidly towards Satoru.He hadn't expected Eneru to use a 30 million volt move so early. Although Eneru appeared indifferent, he was still very concerned about the attack that forced him to dodge and about Armament Haki.Facing the 30 million volt Lightning Bird, Satoruknew that with his current strength, he couldn't block it with the sword moves of Shanks, Hawkeye, or Zoro. Therefore, only the more practiced Hagokuwould work.Twisting his wrist, Satoru took a step forward in mid-air, swung his blade, and a powerful shockwave erupted. The Lightning Bird, about a meter in front of Satoru, was directly dispersed by the shockwave, and one of the two long blades in Satoru's hand, the one used for Hagoku, instantly shattered.Seeing Satoru block it, Eneru showed little reaction and had no intention of recruiting Satoru.He had said earlier that he would kill Satoru and see if Priest Bai Yun, as his "brother," would continue to work for him.A god does not go back on his word.Eneru continued his assault decisively."Bang! Bang!!""30 Million Volts: Lightning Beast."This time, he struck the taiko drum on his left shoulder. Lightning emerged from the drum, forming a wolf-shaped Lightning Wolf that sped towards Satoru.Satoru's response was unchanged; his remaining long blade also shattered.Satoru unhesitatingly threw away both sword hilts and drew two of the eight guns from his waist.And with that action, Eneru had already closed in for the kill. He predicted that only five people would remain in the final survival battle, and time was ticking. He couldn't waste it here; a god's prophecy never erred.Eneru got serious, the speed of the flashing lightning brought him before Satoru in an instant. The golden staff thrust out, aiming directly for Satoru's chest. He knew there was "invisible armor" there, but he didn't believe he couldn't break it.Satoru couldn't care about anything else; it was too late to put away the two guns in his hands, so he simply threw them away. Then, he concentrated his Armament Haki into his fists and fiercely grabbed the approaching golden staff.But Eneru's strength was not exhausted; he continuously pushed Satoru back until Satoruslammed hard against a tree trunk, finally stopping. However, Satoru also successfully halted the golden staff, and its end did not touch his chest."Yeah ha ha ha ha, I acknowledge your strength.""However, you can die now!"Discharge!!"Lightning flashed, blinding Satoru. A 60 million volt electric shock traveled along the golden staff to Satoru's body. In an instant, Satoru was completely engulfed by the lightning."Satoru!"Nami and Usopp, who were fighting Daigo's two younger brothers, couldn't help but shout when they saw the situation. As the going merry rounded a bend in the Cloud River, their view of Satoru and Eneru was completely blocked.
Chapter 310: Two Satorus"Satoru!!"Eneru got serious. With the speed of lightning, Satoru had nowhere to dodge and could only block with his hand. This was exactly what Eneru wanted; 60 million volts of lightning traveled through the Golden Staff and into Satoru's body.Nami and Usopp shouted in worry.However, the next second, Daigo's two younger brothers attacked again. The going merry also turned along the Cloud River, and their view of Satoru and Eneru disappeared... lightning flashed.Satoru was completely engulfed by the lightning, and Eneru's laughing expression was clearly visible in the light.But when the lightning disappeared, he couldn't laugh anymore, his mouth agape in surprise.Under the 60 million volt lightning strike, the large tree completely turned to ash, but Satoru was unharmed except for his burnt clothes and melted guns."This is impossible."Satoru returned a smile. "There are many possible things in this world. It seems you're not omniscient and omnipotent after all. How can you call yourself a god like that!"Satoru let go of the Golden Staff with one hand, pulled back, and then pushed it forward again, hitting the bottom of the Golden Staff with his palm. The force was considerable, and Eneru was also pushed back a few steps.Just as he thought Satoru was about to make a move, he saw Satoru turn and run.Eneru: "..."Eneru was silent, transforming into lightning and chasing after him. He had to figure out what was going on.What he didn't know was that Satoru could only insulate lightning for a short fifteen minutes, and even more, he didn't know that there was another person on this island who was permanently immune to his lightning... during the time Satoru and Eneruwere fighting.The survival battle was also continuously ongoing.On the going merry, on the Cloud River.This time, Usopp wasn't electrocuted, Gan Fallwasn't stabbed by Shura, and with Nami, Daigo's two younger brothers were quickly defeated.Then Gan Fall chose to leave to pursue Eneru and settle everything. After he left, Nami and the others encountered Conis and her father, who had just entered Skypiea, and the Skypiean little girl Aisa, who was born with Observation Haki.Outside the Shandora Ruins.Chief God's Guard Yama, surrounded by Impact Dials, defeated Madam Jeba, one of the main Skypiean forces, with his body's meatball attack. He then encountered Robin, who was closest to the ruins, and battle erupted again.Swamp Trial grounds.Gedatsu, in his own domain, was defeated by Chopper's slipper tactics and his Cherry Blossom Blizzard.He then exerted himself and sent himself completely into the swamp cloud. It's unclear where the swamp cloud connects to, or if it directly falls off Sky Island... "The Shandora Ruins are just ahead! We can already see the [Giant Jack] covered by clouds.""Eneru is up there."The one who said this was Mantis, one of the main Skypiean forces.However, just as he finished speaking, Eneru and Satoru darted past him.Satoru, with bare hands, was fighting Eneru, who held the Golden Staff, back and forth.Eneru was still perplexed. The long staff poked Satoru's body as if it were poking swamp clouds, soft and yielding. This must be why Satoru was immune to lightning strikes.What kind of ability is this?There was no rubber on Sky Island, which fell into Eneru's blind spot of knowledge. Plus, Satoru didn't stretch his arms or inflate his body like Luffy, so Eneru was too surprised for a moment to realize this was somewhat similar to Luffy's ability that he had heard about."Eneru!!"Mantis and the only remaining Skypiean warrior behind him shouted in surprise.Even more surprising was, wasn't Satoru a priest? Why was he fighting Eneru, and even able to hold his own against him?Eneru ignored Mantis and the other insignificant fellow.He was very confused now. Since Satoru wouldn't say, he could only feel at ease by killing him.However, at this moment, another Satoru, who had defeated Buhara, also emerged from one end of the forest.The two Clone Bai Yuns of the Sky Island instance met.And Mantis and the others were even more bewildered.What the heck is going on?!
Chapter 311: God is Injured... The Skypiea Survival War is unknowingly drawing to a close.There are four Priests; two have already been eliminated, and one is an undercover agent.Among the Skypiean main forces, only Wapol, Mantis, and Raki remain.Under the wrath of Miss Nico Robin, Commander Yema was rolled down the cliff like a ball. Midway, there was a Crane Separation; his fat body fell headfirst, half of him slammed into the ground, and he clearly couldn't get up again.As for the straw hat Crew, Luffy is still sealed, Sanjiwas electrocuted by Eneru and can only lie in bed for now. Chopper climbed up the giant vine, aiming to be the first person to reach the ruins and amaze everyone else.Unfortunately, he encountered Ohm's Iron Trial and was stabbed by the Iron Thorns, collapsing... Back in the forest, with Satoru.The goal of the Skypieans is simple, without strategy: just charge in and fight hard, heading to the shrine above the giant vine to kill Eneru.They didn't need to consider whether they could win or how many people would be left when they got there.Just as Mantis was anticipating, Eneru proactively appeared, chasing Satoru, chasing the Satoru they believed had become a Priest.Before they could figure out what was happening, another Satoru appeared, standing on a branch behind Eneru."Oh, what excitement."Seeing Priest Bai Yun appear, Eneru actually stopped his thunderous attack.Forest Mask Bai Yun seized the opportunity to pull away, panting heavily. The clone's strength was sufficient to fight a Priest, but not quite enough against Eneru.Without a weapon, relying only on Physical Techniques—and coincidentally, Physical Techniques are Satoru's weakest area.If it weren't for Armament Haki and the current 15 minutes of rubber-rubber fruit ability, he probably wouldn't last many moves against Eneru's attacks, which are entirely enveloped in lightning."You came just in time. This older brother who looks exactly like you is quite troublesome.""Help me take him down."Eneru wore a smile, ready to watch the show. With the pride of a god, he naturally didn't need anyone's help; he just wanted to see brothers fight each other."Older brother..."Hearing this, Mantis and the others finally understood what was going on—they were twins."Alright, esteemed God. I've been annoyed watching this foolish older brother of mine for a long time."Satoru, who was now cooperating with the act, performed wholeheartedly.Priest Bai Yun, standing on the branch, drew his Long Blade and performed a jumping slash toward Forest Mask Bai Yun below. He released Air Compression Technique from his feet, shattering the branch and rushing down quickly.Eneru was already prepared to watch the show.Just as Priest Bai Yun approached, he put away the Long Blade and instead thrust out his feet, held together.Forest Mask Bai Yun cooperated tacitly, lying back and spinning in the air. He thrust out his feet to meet Priest Bai Yun's feet. The two pairs of soles touched, and the Air Compression Technique erupted.Under the double impact, Priest Bai Yun shot towards Eneru with a bang, moving extremely fast—they could even hear the sound of him breaking the air.And then, the person instantly vanished.Mantis and the others were all astonished.Only Eneru, whose Observation Haki covered the entire country, managed to catch it: Priest Bai Yunhad transformed into a bullet, and Eneruimmediately turned into lightning and flashed to the right.This entire sequence took only a brief second.Mantis and the others saw nothing, only that the figures of both Priest Bai Yun and Eneru had disappeared.The next second, the figures of Priest Bai Yun and Eneru reappeared.Priest Bai Yun reverted from the bullet, rolled once, stabilized, and looked toward Eneru.The lightning reformed into Eneru's appearance. The two Satorus looked over instantly, while Mantis and the others were a beat slower.It looked like Eneru was completely unharmed.However, the next second, a cut appeared on Eneru's left waist, and blood seeped out.Even with the speed provided by the Double Air Compression Technique, Eneru didn't completely dodge and was grazed by the bullet that Priest Bai Yun had become.The bullet graze was like a cut from a blade.Looking at the blood on Eneru's waist, Mantis and the others couldn't close their gaping mouths."God is injured..."
Chapter 312: Purely to Disgust You"The God is injured..."After Mantis and the others saw blood seeping from Eneru's waist, they were surprised, but more than that, a feeling called hope rose in their hearts.Gods can be injured. As long as they can be injured, as long as they have a health bar, there's a chance to win!Eneru was mostly silent. It had been too long since he was injured. The war for the God position against Gan Fall was more of a crushing defeat. No combatant capable of threatening him had ever appeared on Sky Island, so he truly acted like a god, looking down on everything and everyone.Now that he was injured at the waist, Satoru didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew it was the calm before the storm."How is it, Great God? How about our move, 'Nine Heavens Thunderous Double Kick - Two-Person Coordinated Lightspeed Edition'?Although he knew they wouldn't be able to defeat him after the next 15 minutes were up, this didn't stop Satoru from mocking him, as Eneru's injury was a fact.And this move, the "Nine Heavens Thunderous Double Kick - Two-Person Coordinated Lightspeed Edition," wasn't about both people using the Air Compression Technique the instant their soles touched, as the speed generated by the collision of two forces wouldn't be much faster.Instead, the support person uses the Air Compression Technique first, and the attacker then uses that force to stack another Air Compression Technique on top, maximizing the speed through the superposition of the two forces.This requires extreme coordination between the two; neither can be even slightly slow.However, two Satorus are essentially one Satoru. With their minds connected, how could they not be coordinated... "Yeah ha ha ha ha!! Yeah ha ha ha ha!!""Good, very good!""This is what makes it interesting.""God is too lonely.""It's been a long time since something this fun happened! I hope you... no, I hope you all can satisfy me."Eneru laughed heartily, not caring about the wound on his waist, nor believing he would lose."Oh dear, have you fired me already?""Great God?"Priest Bai Yun replied, his tone still nonchalant, a smile playing on his face."Hmph.""Fifteen minutes.""Are you ultimately one person, or two?"Eneru's question confused Mantis and the others again. Couldn't he count? It was clearly two."Don't you already have the answer?""You'll know after fifteen minutes."Forest Mask Bai Yun replied."Hey, you should be honest. There are only 10 minutes left.""Well then, respected God, if the winner of the survival game is decided within these ten minutes, and there are still more than five survivors remaining...""Someone is going to be thoroughly humiliated.""I... we can die, we don't care. It's purely to disgust you."He was one person, but the Priest Mask made Enerufeel even more annoyed. He disliked that tone.Lightning flashed. As mentioned, Eneru was very confident, and he didn't care about Satoru's provocation, but this didn't stop him from unleashing his power."See if you can last 10 minutes first."After speaking, Eneru transformed into lightning and proactively launched an attack.Mantis and the others also gripped their weapons, looking for a chance to help Satoru.But they couldn't even clearly see the figures of the two... While Satoru was stalling Eneru.The survival game in the forest was still ongoing.It was also nearing its end. On the Priest's side, following the completion of Satoru's undercover mission, only Ohm remained.Everyone was heading toward the giant beanstalk.However, Wapol and his group were there to kill Eneru, while Zoro and his group were after the gold.They set off together.Chopper had reached the middle section of the beanstalk, where Ohm's Ordeal of Iron was located, and Ohm was defeated there.Meanwhile, Miss Robin, being the expert, discovered that the true ruins of Shandora were not in the sky, but buried beneath the clouds. Only she managed to correctly reach the ruins.Luffy was still trapped inside the Lord of the Sky's stomach.The Lord of the Sky happened to reach the edge of the island and encountered the going merry. Thanks to Luffy's recent help, kicking wildly inside its stomach, the Lord of the Sky screamed in pain, frightening Nami, who then rode the waver repaired by Pagaya, along with the young Skypiean girl, back into the forest.
Chapter 313: The Final Survival Battle's Advance Begins!The battle between Satoru and Eneru was intense.Forest Mask Bai Yun, with the Rubber-Rubber Fruitbuff, was responsible for actively attacking and tanking damage, while Priest Bai Yun was responsible for flanking and assisting with attacks.Plus, both Satorus possessed Observation Haki, and Armament Haki which Eneru lacked, leaving Eneru temporarily unable to deal with the two Satorus.Mantana and the others wanted to help, but they couldn't even clearly see their figures. Eneruunleashed a 1,000,000 Volt Discharge, and the current spread out in a large circle through the clouds, causing all the Divine Soldiers and Skypieans within the circle to collapse.Besides him and the two Satorus, Mantana, whose strength was somewhat greater than the Divine Soldiers, used his burning sword to prop himself up and jump, narrowly dodging the attack... while Satoru and Eneru were fighting.The survival battle was slowly progressing towards the decisive moment.On the Divine Priests' side, Ohm had already been guarding the decisive battleground since early morning.Chopper arrived first, then was defeated.Robin discovered the true Shandora ruins, buried beneath the clouds.Currently, only these three had reached the decisive battleground.But there wouldn't be just the three of them.Wapol, alone, also reached this Iron Trial domain by climbing the vines.While conversing with Ohm, Gan Fall also appeared. He flew directly onto the shrine riding Pierre, but Eneru was nowhere to be found, only a large number of charred shrines and Divine Servants from the electric shock.Don't expect these three parties to talk peacefully. Wapol's idea was to drive everyone except the Skypieans out of this forest, this land, so he was also hostile towards Gan Fall.Before the conversation was over.Zoro had originally returned directly to the starting point, but to protect his bento, he was pulled up into the air by a giant South Bird."Hey! Let me down, do you hear me, you stupid bird!""Hmm? What's that?"Hearing rustling sounds, Zoro looked down and saw a gaping maw with fangs biting towards him.Because, coincidentally, after the Lord of the Skyscared Nami and the others into the forest, it turned back, and Luffy's punch made it furious. It didn't care about anything else, it just wanted to bite something, so it opened its huge mouth and bit towards Zoro and the South Bird in the sky."Wah!!!""B-Big snake!!""Hey! Fly higher, fly even higher! We'll be eaten!"With the snake's mouth closing in, Zoro chose to contradict himself. As much as he wanted the South Bird to let him down just now, he now wanted it to fly higher.And how clever the South Bird was! It thought the big snake also wanted to eat the bento. So, if it threw Zoro and the bento down together, the big snake's attention would be drawn to Zoro, and it would be safe.No sooner said than done.Zoro was directly flung down, turning into a shark face in anger, "You bastard!!!"But thankfully, below Zoro was the Iron Trial ground in the middle of the vines. He crashed with a thud onto an abandoned house, right next to Wapol."Is that straw hat's accomplice?"Wapol was originally asking Gan Fall about Enerunot being at the shrine, but Zoro's sudden descent from the sky diverted his attention."Ah, safe. That stinky bird, I'll never forgive it.""Is it you?"Gan Fall asked.Zoro looked up."Hmm? Where is this?""...Is this the ruins?"Still silence, no one answered.Gan Fall didn't know what ruins or gold were, and the other two were too lazy to bother with Zoro.Their four goals were all different. If there was anything similar, it was that both Gan Fall and Wapol wanted to find Eneru.No one answered, but Zoro wasn't embarrassed.Gripping his sword hilt, he looked at Ohm. He still remembered what Priest Bai Yun had said about the bald Divine Priest."Oh my, this person looks fierce. Hand over the gold."Facing Zoro's provocation, Ohm pushed up his glasses."Heh heh, how pathetic.""None of you will escape my Iron Trial."Wapol, with a cigarette in his mouth, said, "If you dare to get in my way, then I'll just have to eliminate you."Gan Fall's objective remained consistent. He looked at Ohm, "Where is Eneru? Where is the Divine Squad?"The Lord of the Sky,The five-way chaotic battle was complete."Alright, everyone seems to have a lot to say. If you insist on your own opinions, then wait until you've survived to say them."Ohm said.The Final Survival Battle's Advance Begins!..."Cough, cough, cough.""Indeed, if a clone could defeat you, then I'd be truly proud."11 minutes and 30 seconds.Satoru lost, his neck gripped by Eneru, who lifted him up.It was Forest Mask Bai Yun.But Priest Bai Yun, leaning against a tree trunk, was also charred black and emitting white smoke all over."Cloning, that's your ability."For the first 10 minutes, Satoru posed an unprecedented threat, able to hit his invisible armor and possessing the ability of Observation Haki, albeit a poor one. Crucially, he wasn't afraid of lightning. If not for the lack of high-burst attacks, Eneru would have been in a bad way, but having taken a Hagoku from Satoru, there was now a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.The bullet graze wound on his waist had already stopped bleeding.Although it didn't seem like much damage, this was the most injuries Eneru had sustained since becoming a god.And at this moment, Satoru was no longer a threat, like a lamb to the slaughter. Eneru's face returned to his 'god-like' expression of looking down on everyone, a contemptuous curve on his lips."No..."As Satoru's 'no' just left his lips, Mantana, propelled by the waver beneath his feet, charged forward. The burning sword in his hand, as long as a spear, directly pierced Eneru's head.Unfortunately, it was useless. Without Sea Stoneand Armament Haki, you could stab him however you liked while he was in his elemental form."A foolish move.""I admire your courage, though it only cost a 'head' and accomplished nothing else."This was Eneru and Satoru's assessment of Mantana's actions.Because of Satoru's Armament Haki, Mantana mistakenly believed Eneru could be hit. Now, it was all for naught."1,000,000 Volt Discharge!!""Ah!!!"The electric light dissipated, and Mantana collapsed directly.Satoru still had consciousness, "Alright, it wasn't for nothing. You made me endure another electric shock, thank you very much."Even as his consciousness began to blur, it couldn't stop Satoru's banter."Not what?"Eneru tightened his grip slightly; he was very curious about Satoru's 'no'-starting remark."No, cloning is just one of my abilities.""I didn't lie to you from the start. Replicating someone else's ability in 15 minutes, that's my ability.""You've now returned to being that god who looks down on everything and everyone with contempt, because I, this person who isn't afraid of lightning, will soon be dealt with.""But think about it carefully, if there wasn't an original ability user who wasn't afraid of lightning, where would I replicate it from?"
Chapter 314: PoisonWhile Satoru and Eneru were maneuvering against each other.The battle at the Ruins was also in full swing.Ohm fought everyone, Wapol fought everyone, Gan Fall fought Ohm, Zoro fought Ohm, and the Lord of the Sky thrashed around in pain, attacking indiscriminately.Currently, Gan Fall and Wapol were fighting, and Wapol occasionally fired a cannonball at the Lord of the Sky.Zoro saw Chopper, who was injured and unconscious. It seemed he wouldn't change targets until he cleaved Ohm—oh, and Ohm's boxing dog."How pitiful. Do you want revenge for him?"Zoro held Chopper, and Ohm didn't forget to run his mouth, as if afraid the buff wasn't strong enough."No, I don't want to fight over something like this."Zoro, however, remained calm and gently placed Chopper on the ground."Oh, impressive..."Just as Ohm expressed a slight respect for Zoro, he met Zoro's murderous gaze."It's just... I'm a little angry."Ohm didn't care at all. "Hehehe, how pathetic."...Returning to the forest, to the battlefield between Satoru and Eneru."But if you think about it carefully, if there wasn't an ability user who was naturally immune to lightning, where would I have copied it from?"Satoru's words added a layer of apprehension to Eneru's disdainful gaze."Who is it?!" Eneru asked.Satoru forced a smile."You know I won't tell you, dear God. You'll find out sooner or later anyway."Eneru's expression turned frigid. He didn't want to waste any more words, and lightning flashed in his hand."10 Million Volts...""Wait, I haven't finished speaking."Satoru immediately interrupted the technique. For some reason, Eneru actually listened."Revered God, you have always mocked the ignorance of the Sky Residents, mocking them for not even knowing about priceless things like gold.""But what about you?""You are not omniscient or omnipotent, just like you don't know why I am immune to lightning.""Then, something like poison! Do you know about that!!"Satoru immediately raised his hands and grabbed Eneru's arm, and Priest Bai Yun stepped forward, immediately tackling Eneru from behind in a waist lock."Art is Explosion!!"The two Satorus spoke simultaneously, their voices overlapping so that only one sound seemed audible.They saw the two figures, covered in cracks and emanating light, like mirrors dropped onto the ground.The next second, with a bang, both figures exploded, releasing a cloud of purple smoke.From within the smoke, a bolt of lightning flew out, landing on a tree branch and reforming into Eneru."Cough! Cough! Cough!!"Eneru coughed twice, choked by the mist. Then he felt his body grow cold. Although there were no other symptoms, this was already very wrong."Poison!!""Antidote!!""Those other Blue Sea People should have it!"Mutters to himself, Eneru immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and headed toward the Ruins. It seemed he knew about poison, but likely only knew of its existence. On his way to the Ruins, he dealt with both the Divine Soldiers and the Skypieanpeople, but kept moving.The reason Satoru could use poison was that he had copied Doc Q's Poison Technique.However, upon arriving on the Sky Island, there were simply no poison-producing plants. The plants on Skypiea grew rapidly under the influence of Island Clouds but lost their toxicity. The few that remained couldn't kill anyone; they could at most cause someone to feel chills all over. A few days of sun exposure would cure it.The poison Satoru spoke of was made from these few plants, but clearly, Eneru didn't know the toxicity was so mild. Satoru only told Eneru to disgust him before the scene ended... Above the great sea, on a merchant ship, Satoru's Main Bodyopened his eyes."Sir, the Marine Fortress G-8 is just ahead."The merchant ship owner happened to say."Hmm.""Hmm?"Satoru's first 'Hmm' was naturally for Ocas, the merchant ship owner, and the second 'Hmm' was because he had discovered something strange.
Chapter 315: Hoping You Become a DragonBoth clones had exploded.Logically, after Satoru severed the consciousness connection and opened his eyes, his vision should have returned.However, after Satoru on the merchant ship opened his eyes, he did not see the Marine G8 fortress that Ocas had mentioned; instead, he saw a thermal imaging scene, faintly showing a forest with many people lying on the ground."Hmm?"Just as Satoru was confused, he heard two sounds."Hiss, hiss...""Hiss, hiss? This is Little White Snake's body!!"Satoru exclaimed.Little White Snake had been on the mast of the going merry just moments ago; judging by this scene, it must have run out.What Satoru was exclaiming about was that his consciousness could actually inhabit Little White Snake's body.When connecting consciousness with a clone, he only obtained the clone's vision.But now, Satoru felt as if he had taken control of Little White Snake's body; he could even control its tongue flicking and tail wagging."Little White?"Satoru tried calling out, and the sound came from the snake's mouth."Whoa...""Good grief, does this mean I've become Little White?""Then what about Little White's consciousness? Is it asleep?"Satoru used the snake tail to stroke his chin, thinking.After thinking it over, he tried severing the connection. Sure enough, his vision changed instantly. An island appeared before him, but it was surrounded, and the Marine insignia was painted on the gate directly in front."What is it, sir?"Ocas asked.Satoru replied with a smile, "It's nothing. Thank you for bringing me here, old Ocas.""Don't mention it. Throughout this journey, I would have suffered heavy losses if not for your protection," Ocas replied."Are you leaving?" Omir, who had disliked Satoru at first, now felt a bit reluctant to see him go.Because he knew of Satoru's strength, he wanted to become as powerful as Satoru, so he begged him to teach him.Satoru told him about the daily training regimen of a certain bald caped hero. Omir wasn't just all talk; although it had only been one day, he had truly completed it for that day.Satoru bent down and patted his head, "Partings are inevitable. We will meet again if fate allows.""As long as you work hard, you will become very strong too, kid."Omir clenched his fists and nodded, "I will work hard. I will work hard to become as strong as you, big brother."Although Satoru called him "kid," Omir was only two and a half years younger than him."Hahaha, I believe in you. Well then, goodbye everyone."After saying this, Satoru stepped into the air and flew up, continuing to ascend until Omir and the others could no longer see him.High in the air, Satoru deactivated the Air Compression Technique and plummeted rapidly. As he was about to hit the ground, he used the Air Compression Technique under his feet again. The resulting burst of impact countered his downward momentum, and Satoru landed steadily on the ground.Then he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and tried to connect his consciousness with Little White Snake again....In the forest of Skypiea, a Little White Snake spoke."It actually works!!""Little White, what exactly are you..."Little White:..."Hmm, what I mean is, you must be extraordinary.""Your master here hopes you'll become a dragon and take me for a ride."Satoru muttered to himself while adapting to this vision, which was just like thermal imaging."But thanks to you, my scenes here on the Sky Island can continue.""Who is it?!"Hearing a disturbance, the snake-Satoru turned to look.He saw Raki, the only female among the main Skypiean forces, emerging from the trees."Hmm?"Raki looked at the little snake in confusion. Had it just spoken?But after seeing Kamakiri lying on the ground, her thoughts were cast aside, and Raki immediately hurried over."Kamakiri! Kamakiri!!""It's useless. He's completely unconscious."Satoru said.Raki backflipped and immediately raised the gun in her hand."You really can talk.""What are you?!""You're the thing! Can't you tell? I'm a snake.""Of course, you can also call me Master Bai."Satoru replied, referring to himself as "Master.""Master Bai...""Wait, no. Why can a snake talk?"Raki shook her head, feeling sure she must be hallucinating."Why shouldn't a snake be able to talk?""Am I not talking right now?"Satoru replied, his tone very righteous and confident.
Chapter 316: White Thorns Death GameThe clone's explosion added a layer of body-chilling debuff to Eneru, but it was purely a bluff and caused no damage.Satoru, who had thought his role on Sky Island was over, planned to "pass the time" at the Marine G8 Fortress first.But he suddenly discovered that his consciousness could transfer into Xiao Bai!He didn't expect his role to be extended in such a special way... "Who says snakes can't talk?"Satoru replied to Raki, as if it were perfectly natural for a snake to speak."You haven't been to the Blue Sea, have you?""All snakes in the Blue Sea are like this."He decided to trick her further, taking advantage of the fact that she had never been to the Blue Sea.Raki nodded, half-believing, half-doubting."Then what are you going to do!?""Mantra and the others are...""They were attacked by Eneru.""If my incredibly handsome, heaven-shaking, ghost-weeping Long-Haired master hadn't been fighting Eneru, they might have been hurt more (less)."Satoru replied, shamelessly praising himself.Just then, Mantra actually woke up and struggled to speak, but Satoru gave him a slap with his tail."Slap!""Mantra!"Raki cried out in alarm.Satoru explained."He is too severely injured right now; it's not suitable for him to speak.""I know what he wants to say.""Eneru is lightning. He ate the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble devil fruit, and without special means, he cannot be attacked.""He wants you to go warn Wapol.""But you must understand, if you go, you might also be attacked by Eneru."Satoru's words made Raki swallow what she was about to say and withdraw the hand preparing to draw a gun, before resolutely standing up."I must go.""Skypiean warriors never retreat.""The Light of Shandora will definitely be lit again!!"After speaking, Raki glanced at Mantra and prepared to leave.Satoru jumped onto her shoulder."Perfect, take me with you.""My Lord Bai is not famous for nothing."Raki didn't reply. A talking snake—maybe it really was powerful?If so, it might help against Eneru, so taking it along wouldn't be a loss... Forest Survival Battle.In the beginning, there were three factions.Two of the factions, Luffy's group and the Skypieans, had the same goal: to reach the Giant Jack.Only Luffy's group aimed for the gold within the ruins beneath the vine, while the Skypieans aimed for Eneru inside the Shrine above the vine.The Priests and Divine Soldiers had the opposite mission: to prevent them from reaching the Shrine.Followed by the unexpected arrival of Nami and Aisa.And the arrival of the surviving Skypiean Warriors and Divine Soldiers, the Prelude to the Final Battle ended, and the Concerto began!..."I didn't expect even the Lord of the Sky to be here. We've come to help you, Lord Ohm!""Baa!!"The remaining five Divine Soldiers arrived.Simultaneously, the remaining three SkypieanWarriors arrived."It seems...""Only we are left...""We will help you get to Eneru, Wapol..."Just as both sides finished speaking, Luffy was inside the Lord of the Sky's belly, preparing to dig a hole to escape.This was just like an itch to the Lord of the Sky."What's wrong with this giant snake?"The confused crowd wondered aloud."Hee hee hee hee, hee hee hee.""Is it laughing??"A behemoth laughing right in front of them was certainly no laughing matter.Suddenly, Nami and Aisa also caught up, and two Divine Soldiers rushed toward them."Waaahhhhh!!"Zoro: "Nami!"Wapol: "Aisa!"Gan Fall: "Young ladies!"The three instantly rushed over and struck the two Divine Soldiers.Nami and Aisa managed to escape."Nami, why are you here!"Zoro asked."Aisa! What are you doing here!!"Wapol asked simultaneously."Oh! Zoro, where are the others?"Nami was confused. Didn't you all set off together?"Wapol!"Aisa also responded to Wapol.Unexpectedly, Wapol immediately raised the Burn Bazooka in his hand."Blue Sea people! What exactly are you trying to do!""Aisa, hurry up and get away from that guy!!"After speaking, without waiting for Aisa to leave, he immediately fired a blast.Gan Fall, riding Pierre, lifted Nami and the others, waver included, thus avoiding the hit."Devil... Wapol is a devil!!!"Aisa cried out, "Are you trying to save me?! You just didn't want me to walk too slowly!!""We're... we're saved."Nami let out a sigh of relief."Why have you come here?"Gan Fall asked."Because there was a very large..."Nami replied, but halfway through her answer, a shadow covered them, and the huge serpentine mouth swallowed them whole."Snake ahhhhhh!!"Only Nami's screams echoed out, slowly fading until they were inaudible."That idiot!""Aisa!!"Zoro and Wapol were utterly shocked.Ohm and his dog took advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack, ignoring martial ethics."You can barely save yourselves, yet you worry about others.""A bunch of fools. Nobody can save anyone anyway."...Under the sneak attack by Ohm and his dog, Zoroand Wapol fell to the ground."How dare you do that to Wapol..."The Skypiean Warriors immediately raised their weapons.But Ohm didn't need to act himself; the Divine Soldiers charged forward."In these ruins, there are four Divine Soldiers.""Those two who haven't breathed their last (the Divine Soldiers who chased Nami and Aisa and were knocked away by Zoro's group of three).""Plus four Skypieans, one Blue Sea person, one snake, and Holy (the dog's name).""That makes a total of ten people plus two animals.""This is truly marvelous. Use that move, Holy."Ohm said.Holy immediately responded by running in circles, constantly triggering the Iron Thorns mechanism beneath its feet.After completing a circle, Holy stopped, and a ring of white Iron Thorns grew up, combining into a hemisphere covering the people inside. It can be understood as a small, weakened version of Mingo's birdcage."That's right! This is the essence of the Iron Trial!""White Thorns Death Game!!"A Divine Soldier explained excitedly.Zoro slowly stood up. "Even if you didn't do this, I wouldn't run away."Wapol stood up and immediately delivered a flying kick, sending a Divine Soldier onto the thorns."In other words, once you touch them, things get difficult.""After I take care of everyone, how am I supposed to get out..."Zoro said this very calmly, as if it were a matter of course.Ohm was also annoyed, but he played along, saying, "We'll talk about that after you've taken care of everyone."Eight people and two animals remain (one SkypieanWarrior killed by Holy, plus one Divine Soldier Wapol just sent into intimate contact with the thorns).The transition to the Nocturne of the Final Battle Concerto begins!
Chapter 317: He Can't Be This Madonna AnymoreThe Forest Survival Battle has reached this point.Only eight people and two animals have made it to the ruins.The finale concerto transitions into a serenade.Just as Zoro, Wapol, and Ohm were at loggerheads, a voice broke the tension."Wapol!!"Raki had arrived, and of course, Little White, carrying Satoru's consciousness, was on her shoulder.And Satoru, who had just declared that his title of "Grandpa Bai" was not for show, immediately jumped off Raki's shoulder and ran away.Raki couldn't bother with that for now.She had to tell Wapol about Eneru eating the thunder devil fruit."Listen to me! Wapol!!""Eneru is in the forest! Mantis and that Long HairBlue Sea man were defeated by him. That Little White Snake told me that Eneru..."As Raki spoke, Zoro, hearing that the Long Hair Blue Sea man had been defeated, automatically thought of Satoru, and his brows furrowed slightly.At this moment, a Little White Snake, using its slender body, burrowed into the thorny ball net and coiled towards Zoro.On the other hand, Wapol, before Raki could finish speaking, excitedly grabbed the thorny net and shouted."Hey!! Raki!! Don't come here! Get away quickly!!"Raki was puzzled, "Huh? Wapol, what are you saying?""Stop it!!"Wapol's answer seemed nonsensical, but that was because he wasn't talking to Raki.Just as Raki became even more confused, a voice came from behind her, with a chilling tone mixed with mockery."Are... are you calling me?"Raki immediately turned around, and Eneru, with a deadly smile, appeared before her."Stop it! Eneru, she has already given up fighting!!" Wapol shouted, so anxious that he didn't care about his hands bleeding from gripping the thorns tightly.A Divine Warrior attacked from behind, not looking where he was going."Idiot! Don't think you can survive by caring about others!"But Wapol completely ignored the Divine Warrior."Don't move! Raki!!"But it was too late. Raki raised her spear and fired two shots at Eneru. The close distance was useless; the bullets passed right through him.At this moment, Raki's mind echoed what Satoru, the white snake, had said, "Eneru is lightning; you can't hit him without special means."Satoru, who was coiling towards Zoro, also stopped at this moment and turned to look, but after a few seconds, he turned his head back.He couldn't save her, and in his current state, he couldn't play the role of a Madonna anymore."Take this! Wapol!"At this moment, the Divine Warrior behind him struck Wapol's back with a'slash shell,' splashing blood, but Wapol was terrifyingly calm.He knew that shouting was useless now.Raki also turned her head, her voice hoarse, "Wapol, Eneru is..."Before she could finish, Eneru's lightning enveloped her. After the electric light dissipated, she fell to the ground, unable to get up.Wapol didn't react to the single blow, and the Divine Warrior continued to attack. Wapol didn't even turn his head; he just reached back and grabbed the Divine Warrior's head, forcefully pressing his face into intimate contact with the thorns."Ah!!"The Divine Warrior screamed in pain, but even more painfully, no one cared about him."The Shandoran warriors are truly naive. As long as someone challenges me, whether male or female, I will not refuse.""At most, I'll spare her life."Eneru said with that mocking smile, but it was the Divine Warrior who suffered. The more he spoke, the harder Wapol pressed the Divine Warrior's head, venting his anger."Eneru..."Eneru ignored Wapol's gaze, which seemed to want to devour him, and instead looked at Zoro."Green-haired Blue Sea man, do you have an antidote?"Meeting Eneru's gaze, Zoro felt confused. Antidote? What antidote?Eneru looked at Zoro's expression and knew he didn't have it. Without waiting for Zoro to answer, he instantly transformed into lightning and disappeared."That guy is God?""What antidote? What does he mean?"With Eneru gone, the thorny net once again became tense.Zoro and Wapol's target temporarily shifted to the Lord of the Sky; they had to rescue Nami and Aisa."Great Snake, I'm going to cut open your belly first."
Chapter 318: Sleep More Peacefully This WayEneru's arrival temporarily halted the serenade, but now it continues.To rescue Nami and Aisa, Zoro and Wapol chose to attack the Lord of the Sky first.The Lord of the Sky now wore a dejected expression, thinking that he was almost tormented to death by the "Lu Monkey" in his stomach.Ohm, perhaps, felt it was better to deal with Zoroand Wapol first, rather than the Lord of the Sky.He moved to intercept them."Attack! Holy!"The large dog, obeying the command, agilely spun behind Zoro and Wapol and slammed a punch down.The ground cracked, and Zoro and Wapol dodged to either side.Ohm swung his weapon, which had transformed into an iron whip, at Zoro, who blocked it with his sword.As Wapol jumped, a God's Warrior tried to sneak attack him, but Wapol caught his head, spun him around, and slammed him hard into the ground."Six people and three animals left.""Three animals?""Little snake?"Ohm reported the numbers in real-time, like a referee.Suddenly, he noticed an extra animal.It was, of course, the white snake, Satoru."Little White."Zoro naturally recognized it as Little White, but he didn't know that Satoru's consciousness was currently inhabiting the body of this Little White Snake."Call me Master Bai."Satoru replied.The three were shocked by the voice; this snake could talk, and Zoro recognized the voice."Satoru?""It's me. I said I'd follow.""We'll talk about the situation later. Leave that big snake to me."Satoru replied confidently, even though his size compared to the Lord of the Sky was like a grain of sand to a boulder.But Zoro trusted him, "Alright, then I can safely cut down this bastard."A flash of light glinted off Ohm's sunglasses."How boastful! What can a little snake do?""Holy, crush it!"The large dog Holy obeyed, running over. Facing the ferocious dog, Satoru remained calm, his forked tongue constantly flicking in and out, emitting a hissing sound.As Holy approached and raised his paw to strike, a red glow flashed in Satoru's snake eyes."Lie down!"The ferocious Holy immediately became docile and lay down.Ohm knew Holy had a flaw of obeying anyone's command, but when he was present, his commands were usually more effective."Get up, Holy!"But to his surprise, after he shouted the command, Holy didn't listen; it remained lying down.Incredulity filled Ohm's eyes behind his sunglasses. He was confident in his animal taming abilities, at least stronger than that guy whose hair was like a hat and worked under Red-Nose.But upon closer inspection, he noticed Holy's body trembling."Holy, you..."Before Ohm could finish speaking, Zoro's two swords came slashing, and Ohm could only block with his own sword."Are you done talking?""Don't think just because your dog is strong, that snake is as strange as its master."Satoru: "I'll take that as a compliment."Ohm's face darkened, "Don't think that without Holy, you can do anything. You'll just last a little longer, and keep me busy a little longer.""How pathetic."Ohm shook forcefully, pushing Zoro back, and at the same time, the iron cloud in his hand once again transformed into a whip and struck out.The longer the weapon, the stronger it is. Zoro could only fight and retreat... to this side.Wapol and the Lord of the Sky began fighting. Don't let the Lord of the Sky's large size fool you; if it's not agile, it's just a living target.Satoru knew that he had to keep his eyes on it to intimidate it, but the current situation was easy to resolve."Good doggy, you're the best.""Knock yourself out, remember to hit hard, so you can sleep peacefully."Little White's snake head clearly showed a smile, speaking softly, but his words were completely at odds with his tone.Holy naturally obeyed anyone's commands.Now, with Little White's "Conqueror's Haki" for animals, he dared not disobey. With a bang, he knocked himself out, and a large bump on his head was still steaming."Mmm, good doggy."Satoru said with a smile, then turned to look in the direction of Wapol and the Lord of the Sky, thinking, *I'll get Luffy and the others out first.*
Chapter 319: Curse Until SatisfiedUpon the arrival of the White Snake Satoru, under the effects of the Conqueror's Haki targeting animals, Ohm's dog, Holy, induced a physical sleep upon himself.Now, six people and two animals remained.It seemed there was no difference... Swallowed by the Lord of the Sky, Nami, Aisa, Gan Fall, and Pierre also ended up in its stomach.Luffy's clothes were already tattered, making him look like a homeless man. Seeing Nami and Gan Fall, he felt like he was seeing family, and couldn't help but tear up."Nami! Weird Old Man! What are you doing in this strange hole!?"Nami wanted to ask why Luffy was here, but she first told Luffy that they had been eaten by the Lord of the Sky, the great snake."Is that so? That's incredible, getting eaten by a snake."His words sounded emotional, but Luffy's expression was completely flat.If Satoru were here, he would probably add, "Guess why we ran into each other.""The same goes for you! We're all inside the snake's belly."Nami was so angry she stretched Luffy's nose. Could you possibly be any denser!Gan Fall was still marveling that Luffy was actually the Captain."Ah!!! So this weird hole is the snake's stomach!"Luffy's brain finally understood."Exactly! Haven't you noticed your clothes are dissolving!"Nami said, pointing at the clothes on Luffy's body.Luffy looked down at the clothes on his body. Indeed!"Waaah!! It's true!! Then let's quickly find the snake's butt hole!!"Nami hit him with a hand chop."You want to leave through there!?""If we have to leave through there! I'd rather be digested by it!"Seeing Nami's appearance, Gan Fall and Aisa both lamented how terrifying she was.Sighing, Nami forced herself to calm down."In short, this snake swallowed us because it's always in a bad mood.""We need to quickly take advantage of its frenzy to..."Saying this, Nami, Aisa, and Gan Fall suddenly had a moment of realization."Could it be!?""You... were causing a ruckus here just now?"Nami asked, anger radiating from the back of her head.Luffy didn't notice anything at all."Yup, yup, I was trying to punch a hole to get out earlier.""I'm so hungry. Do you guys have any food?"No food, but how about a fist the size of a sandbag?Seeing Nami radiating a heavy, oppressive aura, Luffy asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"Nami was too lazy to explain. Die!!"You...""Idiot!!!"Just as Nami was winding up to punch Luffy, the Lord of the Sky outside was struck painfully by Wapol's attack. Under its skyward roar, Nami and the others fell deeper inside... Outside.The Lord of the Sky roared toward the heavens.Tears streamed from its eyes as it glared down at Wapol.Wapol was just about to speak.Satoru arrived."You idiot! Stop that immediately."Satoru said this to Wapol.He didn't know if swearing while in Xiao Bai's body would affect him, but he didn't care anymore; today, he was going to curse until he was satisfied.Regarding Wapol, their positions were different, so it was hard to say anything, but Satoru just hated him—arrogant and reckless. The title War Demon suited him; his personality was like a ghost.Satoru hissed twice at the Lord of the Sky, which was their snake language, meaning for the Lord of the Sky to wait a moment.The inside of the stomach temporarily calmed down. The Lord of the Sky, however, was very curious about this little snake of its kind... why did it look better and better the more it looked?..."You idiot!!""All you know is hitting and hitting!!""You have no brain.""Beep beep beep!! Beep beep beep!!"Satoru transformed into a Gatling Snake, verbally assaulting Wapol like a machine gun, as if venting every curse he had suppressed since setting sail.It wasn't specifically aimed at Wapol; right now, whoever showed up, Satoru would curse them.Wapol wasn't deaf; he could tell Satoru was cursing him. Just as Satoru had cursed, Wapol only knew how to fight, directly raising the Blaze Gun in his hand. But before he could pull the trigger, Satorushut him down with a single sentence."Idiot!""Do you still want to save Aisa?""Your cannon can't even scratch the outer layer of its stomach.""You want to hit me, right? Go ahead, hit me all you want. But if you slowly chip away at this huge snake, that little girl will probably be nothing but a skeleton by the time she gets out."
Chapter 320: I Never Believe in GodsAfter Satoru dealt with Holly, he joined the battle between Wapol and the Lord of the Sky.He started scolding Wapol.But amidst the scolding, there were also serious words.It must be said that although Wapol often only had fighting on his mind, he cared deeply about his tribesmen.Now, being scolded by Satoru, he could tell that Satoru's words offered a way to save Aisa and the others, so he didn't argue."You have a way?"Asking this, he clearly hadn't seen Satoru controlling Holly earlier."No...""How could that be?"Satoru took a big pause, and Wapol almost pulled the trigger.Satoru turned to look at the Lord of the Sky, his eyes not showing a red glow; if it could be resolved civilly, that would be best, as 'we are all civilized people.' Satoru hissed twice, and the Lord of the Sky immediately lay down and opened its huge mouth.Satoru gave Wapol a proud look.Wapol remained expressionless."What are you standing around for? Go in and find them!""Forget it, you wouldn't dare, or if you went in, you'd start fighting again, and the big snake would be tormented to death by you.""I'll go in, you watch."With that, Satoru coiled into the Lord of the Sky's mouth without waiting for Wapol's reply, and the Lord of the Sky remained with its mouth wide open.Wapol was silent.He turned around and knocked out the sneaking God's Guard with a cannon, this was the last one.After finishing, Wapol immediately sat down cross-legged, lit a cigarette, and waited... Wapol dealt with the last God's Guard, plus the two Skypieanwarriors who tried to ambush Zoro and Ohm during their fight but were taken care of by Ohm.Now there were only... "three people and two animals left."Ohm and Zoro were separated by a wall, both knowing the other was on the other side."But soon, there will only be two people and two animals left."Ohm raised the Iron Cloud Sword in his hand, aimed at the wall, and said with great confidence.The Iron Cloud changed as he wished: sword, whip, fork, shield, fan, and it was made of iron. This made Zoro complain that it was just a weakened version of that Satoru guy's bracelet.The properties of the Iron Cloud, coupled with Ohm's Observation Haki, left Zoro at a loss for a while, only able to retreat while fighting, leading to the current situation where a wall separated them in a standoff.Facing Ohm's words, Zoro tied on his black bandana; with the "divine artifact" bonus, he would no longer hide."You seem to be an important member among the Blue Sea people.""Your companions have all performed well...""I have already targeted your heart.""Pray to God!! Swordsman of the Blue Sea!!"Zoro only found Ohm's words amusing."Fool.""I will never pray to God in my life.""I never believe in gods!""Just like a certain Long Hair scoundrel said, this is all feudal superstition."Clearly, the "Long Hair scoundrel" Zoro referred to was Satoru, but Satoru's statement "this is all feudal superstition" was followed by another line: "except for the God of Wealth.""How pathetic! Have it your way!"Facing Zoro's words, which were utterly blasphemous in his perception, Ohm only found him pitiful.Zoro didn't reply, biting the hilt of his third sword, and immediately took a stance."Although I can't see you, this sword will tell me your location.""The moment I find you, will be your death!""One World Thirty-Six Troubles... Two Worlds Seventy-Two Troubles... Three Worlds One Hundred and Eight Troubles... Three Sword Style: One Hundred and Eight Pound Phoenix!"Zoro and Ohm attacked simultaneously.Zoro unleashed his ultimate move, while Ohm was still using his Iron Whip.Both attacks simultaneously shattered the wall, their figures appearing in each other's sight, and at the same time, their attacks collided.However, Ohm's Iron Whip was instantly deflected by Zoro's three'Slash Wave' blue slashes.The three spiraling slashes all struck Ohm's chest, sending blood flying.
Chapter 321: Is It the Son of the Great Serpent?"Thank you for your gift!!"In a small town far from Sky Island, Ace's adventure was also underway, and of course, his comrade, Clone Bai Yun, was with him.The "fine virtues" from his childhood had also stayed with him until now."He's really persistent, hahaha."Behind him, the chef and the owner were chasing him persistently, but Ace found it amusing."It must be because you ate too much," Clone Bai Yun remarked.Ace ran while reaching up to hold his hat."No way, I haven't even reached half of Luffy's appetite.""That's still a lot."After saying that, Clone Bai Yun signaled for Ace to turn into a small alley.Ace followed suit and replied, "That's true, hahahaha!!"...Back on Sky Island.With Ohm defeated by Zoro's 108 Pound Phoenix, the decisive battle at the ruins had, so to speak, already been decided, as the priests and god's soldiers had all fallen.But Eneru would not let his prediction go wrong.Glaring fiercely at Ohm's fallen form, Zoro sheathed the sword in his mouth and pulled off his black bandana."That great serpent has gone down...""What other abilities does that bastard Satoru have? What... is this Little White Snake thing?""Forget it, let's go take care of that bastard carrying the bazooka first!"Zoro muttered to himself, then set his target, and holding two swords, ran toward the location of Wapol and the Lord of the Sky.At Wapol's location.He sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the bazooka in his arms, his eyes locked on the gaping maw of the Lord of the Sky.And just as Zoro approached, an anomaly suddenly occurred.The previously quiet Lord of the Sky's eyes suddenly widened, and it stood up abruptly, roaring at the sky."What's wrong?!"Seeing this scene, Zoro felt puzzled, but he did not stop his pace.Wapol immediately stood up, shouldering the bazooka, and retreated."Tch.""I shouldn't have trusted a Little White Snake after all."Wapol's eyebrows slanted downward, his expression displeased; he raised the muzzle to aim at the Lord of the Sky, but just before he pulled the trigger, another accident occurred.Lightning spread up from the ground, blue light illuminating the faces of the two men and the serpent, all of them filled with surprise.The lightning did not cause any harm to the three of them, but instead, the entire ground of the ruins cracked and collapsed."The ground is cracking open!!"Zoro exclaimed in surprise."It's Eneru! Only he could do this. The ruins are going to collapse!!"When that shining lightning appeared, Wapolinstantly knew it was Eneru's doing."There's a hole underneath?"Looking down, Wapol discovered that the original ground had been opened up, and there seemed to be something else inside the hole.But Zoro had no time to worry about that now; he stepped quickly across the rubble and caught the unconscious Chopper.However, within a few seconds, two accidents occurred; let us explain them one by one, starting with why the Lord of the Sky went berserk again....A few minutes ago.Satoru found Luffy and the others inside the belly of the Lord of the Sky."Step lightly, don't make this great serpent go berserk again!"The four people and one bird walked toward them; Nami reminded them as she walked, and then they saw a Little White Snake appear in front of them."...Is it the son of the great serpent?"Luffy made an intelligent remark.Nami couldn't help but punch him on the head, "That's Little White Snake, isn't it!""Little White Snake...""You should call me Grandpa Bai."Nami was walking briskly, but upon hearing the Little White Snake speak, she instantly moved behind Luffy."I... I didn't hear that wrong, did I? Did the Little White Snake just talk??""You did not hear wrong; I heard it too.""Me too."Gan Fall and Aisa chimed in.Luffy tilted his head, the voice of the Little White Snake echoing in his mind."...Satoru! It's Satoru's voice."Satoru smiled, "It's me."Receiving the confirmation, Luffy immediately ran over, "Hahaha, Satoru, how did you turn into the Little White Snake?"The three people and one bird behind followed."Yeah, Satoru, what kind of trick are you pulling again?"Nami asked as well."It's a long story; in short, my consciousness is in the Little White Snake right now."Satoru replied."The Blue Sea is truly strange," Aisa muttered to herself."Alright, then we..."Satoru originally wanted to say, "Let's leave quickly," but in an instant, the thread representing calmness in his mind snapped.Satoru didn't know what was happening; uncontrollably, he opened his mouth, his fangs flashing with a sharp glint, and bit down hard at the ground!
