One Piece: Hashirama Template, Joins the Straw Hat Pirates Chapter 057

While Luffy and the others were traveling from Angel Island to Apaya, the Shandians were discussing countermeasures against Enel at their residence.

“Wiper, intelligence from Angel Island just arrived. There’s a group of Blue Sea people who can disperse Enel’s lightning, and they’re currently heading towards Apaya,” said Kamakiri, a mantis-like man with red sunglasses and a flaming sword, to Wiper.

“According to the intel, these Blue Sea people trespassed on Sky Island and even attacked the White Beret troops. The most likely reason they’re going to Apaya now is to cause trouble for Enel.”

Wiper’s pupils contracted at the news, then widened with joy. “Kamakiri, notify everyone! This is our chance! With the Blue Sea people holding back the Four Priests, we’ll go straight to the temple and take Enel’s dog life!”

Just then, Gan Fall, the former God of Angel Island, appeared in the Shandian village. After friendly discussions between both sides, the Shandians agreed to form an alliance with Angel Island.

The strategy was that after Luffy and his group initiated the God’s Trials, everyone else would land on the island from another direction, directly attacking the central temple in Apaya to kill Enel.

In the center of Apaya Island, at the temple.

After Zoro and Luffy each shattered a lightning pillar, and then after sensing Luffy’s awakened Conqueror’s Haki’s pressure.

Enel had been constantly using his Mantra to cover the entire Sky Island. When he heard that Luffy and his group were coming to fight him, and that the Shandians were also coming to fight him.

His previously closed eyes snapped open, lightning flashed around him, and a swath of trees around the temple were struck down.

Enel’s eyes were cold. “You want the Blue Sea people to stop the Priests? Very well, then, let it be as you wish. I’d like to see how you defeat me.”

“Nirvana Gedatsu, Satori, Shura, Ohm!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Two teams of intruders are coming to challenge me. You four go that way. I want you to kill everyone there. As for the other side, I will handle them personally,” Enel said, pointing in the direction of Luffy and his group.

“Don’t worry, Lord Enel, we’ll make sure they never return.”

With that, the four sped off towards the Straw Hat Pirates.

While the Straw Hats leisurely walked towards the center of Apaya, in the opposite direction, the Shandians were frantically rushing towards the central temple.

After walking a certain distance, a loud shout stopped Luffy, Zoro, and the others.

“Stop right there, Blue Sea intruders! You have committed the crime of illegal entry into God’s Country, and you even attacked the White Beret troops on Angel Island, and you interfered with God’s judgment when he was executing lawbreakers!”

“Now, we, the Four Priests, will put you through God’s Trials. If you win, you can leave Sky Island and return to the Blue Sea. If you fail, there’s only death!” Ohm said with a cold laugh.

“First, allow us to introduce ourselves~

I am Ohm, one of the Four Priests, in charge of the ‘Iron Trial,’ which has a 0% survival rate.

“I am Shura, one of the Four Priests, in charge of the ‘Rope Trial,’ which has a 3% survival rate.”

“I am Satori, one of the Four Priests, in charge of the ‘Ball Trial,’ which has a 10% survival rate.”

“I am Gedatsu, one of the Four Priests, in charge of the ‘Swamp Trial,’ which has a 50% survival rate.”

Ohm, with rings of tattoos on his right arm, holding a cloud-made blade, wearing sunglasses, and a bald head with a pair of white wings on his back, introduced himself.

Shura, wearing a pilot’s hat and goggles, holding a flaming spear, and riding a bald eagle.

Satori, round in shape, wearing leather gloves and a spacesuit with a helmet.

Nirvana Gedatsu, with spider-leg-like hair, dressed in purple, with a pair of wings on his back.

“Priests~” Usopp and Chopper couldn’t help but gape, their faces filled with terror. Without thinking, they instinctively moved behind Liu Qing.

After the introductions, Nirvana Gedatsu stepped forward. “I am the Priest of the first trial. Who will take the first trial?”

Liu Qing stroked his chin, looking at the four overly confident individuals with a strange expression. He knew that currently, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, except for Nico Robin who had just joined and hadn’t had time to learn both types of Haki, could already use both types of Haki, even Chopper.

Although not as powerful as they would be two years later, dealing with the original Pacifistas was a piece of cake for them, easily handled.

And in his memory, the Four Priests’ Mantra was still half-baked, and they had never even heard of Armament Haki.

After thinking, Liu Qing looked at Chopper. “Chopper, how about you give it a try? I have high hopes for you~”

Chopper immediately turned into seaweed out of shyness. “You idiot~ I won’t be happy even if you praise me!”

“Do you really have high hopes for me?”

“Of course! Right, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji?” Liu Qing finished, looking at Luffy and the others.

“That’s right, that’s right~ Go, Chopper!” Luffy and the others encouraged him.

“Alright~ I, Captain Chopper, will deal with him! Ah~ hahaha~”

Chopper did a front flip and landed in front of Nirvana Gedatsu, saying, “I’ll be your opponent.”

Nirvana Gedatsu rolled his eyes in confusion, looking left and right. He asked strangely, “Who~ who’s talking? Why can’t I see anyone? Is it an invisibility spell?”

Chopper looked at Nirvana Gedatsu in shock. “Ah~~ Is this guy an idiot?”

Ohm’s face darkened, and he punched Nirvana Gedatsu on the head. “Idiot~ How can you see anyone when you’re rolling your eyes?”

Nirvana Gedatsu suddenly realized. “Ah~ I forgot again.”

“Alright, let me show you the terror of the Swamp Trial! Take this, Swamp Cloud Attack~ Attack~ Atta????”

Nirvana Gedatsu began his attack, but it was useless. He forgot that he wasn’t in the Swamp Trial area. He was in the forest, where there was no swamp or swamp clouds for him to use.

A mischievous smile appeared on Chopper’s cute face. “Good opportunity~~ Hoof Print: Cross!”

Chopper, disregarding martial ethics, directly launched a sneak attack with a powerful move while Nirvana Gedatsu was lost in confusion.

Chopper transformed into a giant, his hooves bulging with muscle, crossing into a cross shape, and violently slammed them into Nirvana Gedatsu’s chest.

The immense force instantly sent Nirvana Gedatsu flying, and the direction was precisely towards the Swamp Trial area. With a “splash~” sound.

Nirvana Gedatsu was knocked into the swamp and fell towards the Blue Sea.

Watching this dramatic scene, both sides fell silent.

Satori, the Priest of the Ball Trial, started sweating profusely. He was in the same situation as Nirvana Gedatsu; his combat power was virtually nonexistent when not in his trial area.

His fighting strength primarily relied on the traps in the trial area and the help of his two twin brothers. In this place, where were the traps for him to use?

Ohm looked at the stunned Satori and nudged his lips, the meaning clear: “You’re up~”

Satori had no choice but to reluctantly step forward.

“Uh~~ I’m the Priest of the Ball Trial. Um~ how about we fight in a different location?” Satori carefully inquired.

Sanji stepped forward, extinguishing his cigarette butt. “Do you think this is playing house? You want to pick a place to fight? I’ll be your opponent. Are you ready? I’m attacking.”

Satori saw Sanji disagreeing and had no choice. His Surprise Cloud Bombs were unusable, so he could only rely on the Impact Dial in his hand to fight.

“Come on.”

Seeing the Priest ready, Sanji didn’t waste any time and immediately started with a powerful move.

“Mouton Shot!”

Sanji crouched down, his right leg wrapped in Armament Haki, with flames burning on his leg. He erupted instantly, appearing in front of Satori, and delivered a powerful kick towards his stomach.

The moment Sanji crouched, Satori raised both hands, aiming the Impact Dial in his palms at Sanji. Unexpectedly, his reaction was half a beat too slow, and Sanji’s attack landed on him first.

“Pfft~~ Pfft~~”

Satori spat out two mouthfuls of old blood, then was kicked flying to an unknown location.

Ohm looked at Shura again. Shura was also helpless; he also needed a special location to unleash his full power. Here, he couldn’t fight at all.

Shura reluctantly rode his bald eagle forward. “Rope Trial Shura, who wants to fight me?”

Everyone looked at Usopp, their eyes signaling.

Usopp backed away, shaking his head. “No, I can’t beat him~”

“Oh~~ How do you know if you don’t try? Besides, what did you set out to sea for? To become the bravest warrior on the seas! Now is your time to shine!” Liu Qing said, grabbing Usopp.

“Indeed~ Usopp, haven’t you noticed that our opponents are getting stronger and stronger? We’ve seen your progress, and you have the strength, you just lack courage,” Zoro said very seriously.

Luffy patted Usopp’s back. “Go, Usopp! You’re the Straw Hat Pirates’ sniper, a combatant! My path to becoming the Pirate King still needs your help!”

Usopp was touched, and his eyes became determined. “Alright, I’ll deal with him.”

With that, Usopp walked forward with a resolute expression. “Come on, I’m not afraid of you!”

“Hissatsu: Tabasco Star!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~”

Dozens of pepper bullets attacked. Shura’s Mantra predicted the trajectory in advance, and he manipulated his eagle to dodge.

The two began exchanging attacks, mostly in a manner where neither could hit the other.

After fighting for a while longer, even Zoro and the others couldn’t stand it anymore. “Usopp, don’t just focus on sensing danger with your Observation Haki~ Sense his next move and attack him!”

Usopp realized, slapping his forehead. “I was too nervous, I forgot!”

Then he began to focus on sensing, holding a fire bomb in his hand. A few seconds later, Usopp sensed Shura’s next movement.

He decisively pulled back his slingshot and fired in a certain direction.

“Hissatsu: Fire Bird Star!”

“Hissatsu: Oil Star!”

Both attacks directly hit Shura. Immediately, the bald eagle and Shura were engulfed in flames. Man and bird jumped towards the distant cloud sea, and the moment they entered the sea, they were knocked unconscious from the pain.

Now, only one Priest of the God’s Trials remained.
