A stick infused with Armament Haki slammed hard into Enel’s face, making a dull thud. Enel staggered back a few steps, clutching his injured face, his eyes filled with disbelief and rage.

“What kind of move was that? You actually managed to hurt God… it was because of that stick, wasn’t it, you cunning fellow!” Enel glared at Luffy, a hint of confusion in his voice.

Luffy also felt a little surprised; he hadn’t expected to use it unconsciously. He recalled his previous conversation with Orochimaru and guessed that this might be the Armament Haki coating Orochimaru had mentioned.

Luffy opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but seeing Enel’s confident guess, he couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Thinking of Nami’s earlier words, his expression turned somewhat grim.

“You’re taking Orochimaru away??”

Enel tilted his head. “Orochimaru? Is that the name of the sleeping prince (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ? Yes, I’m taking him with me to the Infinite Continent; that is a dwelling fit for a god.”

The giant ark began to slowly ascend, illuminating the entire sky as if it were broad daylight. This was no ordinary light, but powerful electricity generated by Enel’s ability—Raigou.

As the ark ascended, energy continuously poured into it, allowing it to steadily rise into the sky. At the same time, the exhaust fumes from the ark’s top formed black clouds, which began to spread across its surface, gradually forming a vast black cloud layer, as if to swallow the entire sky.

Enel stood at the highest point of the ark, laughing wildly: “Look at this sky; this is a masterpiece only a god can achieve!

As the ark continues to ascend, thunderclouds will spread throughout Skypiea!

Even if you can attract lightning and aren’t afraid of it, what then?

Can you stop these pervasive thunderclouds? Besides those I’ve chosen, all of you shall die! Hahahahaha…

I am God… the true God!”

His laughter echoed in the air, filled with endless mockery and triumph.

Enel held a golden staff in his hand, wrapped in blue electricity, shimmering with dazzling light. Due to the lightning’s amplification, the golden staff in his hand generated high temperatures, even melting some of the gold, making it sharper and more lethal.

The golden staff, which could also be called a golden trident, pointed at Luffy, revealing ferocity in his eyes, as if he had already seen his opponent defeated.

“So, hand over my prince! I will spare your life; he belongs to me! I can sense that our souls are perfectly synchronized. Why do you mortals stand in our way?”

Luffy frowned and tilted his head, suddenly recalling Orochimaru’s frequent remark to Ace, “What dog-shit are you talking about?” He felt it was very fitting for Enel.

His personality prevented Luffy from saying such words, but he still didn’t understand… How did you become soul-synchronized with Orochimaru? What is a soul… what is synchronization?

And while he didn’t understand Orochimaru’s fanaticism, he could comprehend it, just like his own desire to explore the unknown.

In Nami’s words, it was an untimely willfulness, and everyone would lovingly help Orochimaru stop such thoughts.

Luffy thought blankly, and Enel, ignored, twitched his face. He actually said so much to a mere mortal.

“Forget it… I’ll kill you, and the prince will naturally leave with me.”

Luffy, regaining his senses, waved his hand at the air. “No, no, no, no, no, if we all die… you’ll be even worse off.”

As the golden trident struck, Luffy instinctively dodged but still got injured. Luffy’s attacks couldn’t hit Enel at all, as his mastery of Armament Haki was only at the beginner stage… The previous coating was just a coincidence, and as for Observation Haki, he hadn’t even reached the beginner level.

If he couldn’t hit him with one strike, then he’d hit him randomly! Luffy’s eyes were firm as he roared, “Gomu Gomu no Gatling!” Luffy’s Haki-infused fists rained down on the ark’s walls, then bounced back erratically, hitting Enel hard.

Enel’s mind went blank from the beating, his eyes bulging. Before he fainted, he still thought, could he still see his prince?

(In the original plot, Enel barely survived this blow… well, with Haki… he’s probably completely out, Meow is awesome!)

On the other side, Gan Fall and the Shandians gathered, looking up at the gloomy sky, while also watching the Straw Hat Pirates.

“Are we really okay not retreating?”

Nami and the others gathered around, poking the still struggling Orochimaru.

“Don’t worry, Luffy is very strong; he’ll definitely defeat that god quickly.”

Gan Fall said no more. The Shandian girl, Aisa, had become quite familiar with this group during the previous trials. She looked at the beautiful person tied up like a silkworm cocoon and couldn’t help but feel a touch of pity.

“Can you let him go… he looks so pitiful.”

“No,” everyone crossed their arms in front of their chests, refusing in unison.

“Why… he seems to really want to get out,” Aisa said with some reluctance.

Nami rubbed Aisa’s head. “Once Enel and that ship disappear from Skypiea, we’ll release him. Otherwise, the person you pity will become that god, Enel.”

Aisa didn’t understand why that god was worth pitying. While she was thinking, Aisa suddenly looked up.

“Luffy’s back,”

Everyone looked up and saw the thunderclouds dissipating. Before long, Luffy floated down from the sky like a balloon.

Seeing the people on the ground, Luffy finally let out a sigh of relief and fell to the ground.

“Hahahaha… I’m back.”

Nami stood up. “Did you take care of that god?”

Luffy scratched his head. “Um… he fainted. I couldn’t stop that ship, so I just destroyed the thing spewing thunderclouds by going through the chimney. But the ship kept rising, so I ignored it and just jumped down.

And Nami also said… to make that ship disappear far away.”

Orochimaru on the other side heard this and began to struggle fiercely, as if saying, “Untie me quickly! I want to pick things up!” but he was ignored by everyone.

“Alright… it’s over. Zoro, you carry Orochimaru. Robin, didn’t you say you found the Golden Bell earlier? Let’s go see it together.” Nami clapped her hands and linked arms with Robin.

Zoro skillfully hoisted the dejected Orochimaru and patted him. “Good boy… don’t be sulky. Nami won’t let you go. Don’t think about that ship and energy anymore; it’s already flown away. And if nothing unexpected happens, Nami won’t let you go until tomorrow to make you completely give up.”

Silkworm cocoon Orochimaru chose to play dead. Everyone, along with Robin, followed the vine and found the Golden Bell perched high in the sky. Luffy excitedly rang it, fulfilling his promise with the Chestnut Head Man from Jaya.

They then led everyone to the ruins of the Golden City, buried under waste, and the Poneglyph. The carried Orochimaru dejectedly put away the Poneglyph (the system space doesn’t need hands) but wasn’t happy; he had lost his permanent battery.

That night, Apayado was filled with singing and dancing. All sorts of beings were there: Skypiea residents, Shandian natives, wild wolves… and the Lord of the Sky. Everyone happily clinked their cups, and occasionally someone would glance at Orochimaru, who was tied up like a silkworm cocoon.

Robin, who was recording historical information, suddenly looked up and said,

“Orochimaru… isn’t going to wet himself, is he?”

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

“Don’t suddenly say things like that with a straight face!!!”

Orochimaru suddenly felt that this companion was unbearable… He decided to blacklist them for a week.
