The Island of Gods – Arpaiado Dark clouds covered the sky above the Island of Gods like a canopy of sky.

Lightning split the sky, and a blazing white electric snake fell from the sky with a loud bang, illuminating the densely packed crowd kneeling in front of the shrine.

“Welcome to the Almighty God——Lord Enelu!”

The residents of Sky Island fell to the ground and trembled, their foreheads pressed against the clouds, not daring to raise their heads at all, their bodies shaking with fear.

On the high platform of the shrine, on the throne surrounded by golden lightning, Enel was half leaning on it, with his upper body naked, his earlobes hanging down to his chest, his posture leisurely, as if he was the king who controlled thunder.

He lightly flicked his finger, and a tiny arc of lightning jumped on his fingertips, like the birth of divine punishment.

“The power of faith today is still… barely usable.”

His voice was lazy, but his tone was full of sarcasm and contempt. His eyelids were half drooped, and a cruel and empty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This place, known as the “Kingdom of God”, has long since become a terrifying world dominated by thunder and lightning.

Two months ago, Eneel led the four great priests to raid the Sky Island Shrine. Lightning swept across the sky and the earth. The former “God” Gan Ful and his guards were vulnerable to the thunder.

Gan Faul was seriously injured and barely escaped. Now his life or death is unknown and there is no news of him.

Then, the hell of Sky Island began——

The rebels were struck by lightning and executed on the spot, and their charred bodies were hung outside the shrine for three days for public display.

The strongholds of the Shandia warriors were destroyed one by one, and the rest hid in the sea of ​​clouds, barely surviving.

Any voice questioning “God’s will” will turn into a wisp of charcoal in the next second.

The residents of Sky Island are forced to visit the shrine every day, and any hesitation will lead to severe punishment.

“God does not require questioning, only obedience.”

This is the “oracle” that Enel often mentions, and it is also the nightmare weighing on everyone’s heart.

In order to strengthen his rule, Enel established a death game called “Trial of God”——

In the Bloody Forest Trial, where the survival rate is extremely low, participants must kill each other in a cloud forest filled with traps and murderous intentions in order to survive.

Under the system of collective responsibility, if one person disobeys orders, the entire family will be buried with him; under the threat of blood, everyone is walking on thin ice.

Because a young man attacked the priest of the Shandia tribe, the entire village was razed to the ground by lightning overnight, and even the children were not spared.

“The struggles of ants only make God laugh.”

He once said this sarcastically, and turned a young man who tried to escape into ashes.

His scepter is a scepter of thunder made of gold;

His eyes are the eyes of God that look down upon all living beings.

He not only rules Sky Island, but also attempts to completely erase Sky Island’s history and culture.

He forcibly requisitioned the Sky Island’s specialties “shellfish” and “cloud iron” to build his grand ambition – the giant ark “Proverbs” that would fly to the “infinite land”.

Burn the Shandia tribe’s books and ancient scrolls, and cover up the legend and historical truth of the “Golden City Shandora”.

Destroy the ancient murals and inscriptions in the shrine, trying to erase the past from the hearts of the people of Sky Island.

He wants to build a world without history, without dissent, where only “God” exists.

And when the Ark is built, he will abandon this sky and go to the “Holy Land of the Moon” – what he calls the true kingdom of God.

In the four regions of Sky Island, the four great priests were on high alert, each leading the “trial” and monitoring all movements on the island with the “heart network”:

Gedaz (Trial of the Swamp, survival rate 50%): Silent and sinister, lurking in the clouds and swamps, as hard to guard against as a venomous snake.

Shadley (Trial of the Ball, survival rate 10%): Crazy as a beast, he uses shock waves to set traps and play with his opponent’s life and death.

Shura (Trial of the Rope, survival rate 3%): A cruel hunter who sets deadly traps and manipulates the battlefield like a game.

Ohm (Trial of Iron, survival rate 0%): Cold and ruthless, he controls clouds and iron into blades and can kill with one sword.

They are like the Four Horsemen of Death, and under Eneel’s orders, they turn the entire Sky Island into hell.

In this silent and depressing shrine, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

A priest rushed into the temple in panic, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: “Lord Enelu! An unidentified warship appeared near the coast of Angel Island!”

Enelu slowly opened his eyes, lightning flashed in his golden pupils, and a hint of sinister interest quietly emerged.

“warship……?”

He walked down the throne slowly, tapped the ground with his golden staff, and with a loud bang, lightning snakes instantly swam around the temple, shining brightly.

“Where did these ants come from… How dare you trespass into God’s domain?”

Enel raised a sinister smile: “But, I need some new toys.”

Lightning flashed wildly around him, and his voice echoed in the temple like thunder: “Prepare for the Trial of God.”

“Tomorrow, let these ignorant invaders experience the wrath of God and despair firsthand.”

Angel Island·Edge of the Sea of ​​Clouds The warship was quietly anchored in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, surrounded by white mist, like a lone boat floating in the sky.

Roy ordered the navy soldiers to stay on standby, and he took Ace, Luffy, Law, Zoro and Kuina to the legendary “Island in the Sky”.

“Wow! These clouds are so soft when you step on them, just like marshmallows!” Luffy excitedly jumped back and forth on the clouds, bouncing his feet like a child who had discovered a new toy.

“Luffy! Stop running around!” Ace shouted, but Luffy was no longer in sight.

Just as they were about to catch up with him, a team of Sky Island Patrol members wearing white uniforms and white berets suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

“Stop, Qinghai people!” The leading captain McKinley shouted coldly, his eyes sharp as an eagle, “You need to pay an entry fee to enter Angel Island, 1 billion Aix!”

“Entry fee?” Ace frowned, his palms already ignited with flames, “We haven’t heard of this rule.”

Zoro also quietly grasped the hilt of the sword with a cold look in his eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Roy was not in a hurry. With a smile on his face, he reached out and held the two men down, took out a heavy purse from his arms, and threw it to McKinley.

“Of course, of course. You always have to give a little gift when traveling~”

McKinley was stunned for a moment, took the purse, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction: “You are sensible, go in.”

After the patrol left, Ace glared at Roy angrily: “They were clearly blackmailing you! And you actually gave it to them?”

Roy shrugged and smiled nonchalantly: “What are you afraid of? It’s not my money anyway.”

“ah?”

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at him.

Roy lowered his voice and said with a wicked smile: “I took that bag of money from them~”

“…”

Everyone was stunned and fell speechless.

Kuina held her forehead with one hand, and her tone was almost pleading: “Mr. Roy… please don’t teach them bad things, okay…”

After entering Angel Island, everyone was immediately attracted by the wonders before them.

The buildings on both sides of the street are built with white cloud bricks, and various shell wind chimes are hung on the roofs. When the breeze blows, a series of crisp and pleasant sounds are emitted.

The residents of Sky Island have a pair of small wings on their backs, and they move lightly across the cloud road, like in a dream.

“Wow! They really have wings!” Luffy stared at a girl flying by, “Ace, look! They can fly!”

Ace was also curious: “The people of Sky Island are really different from those of Qinghai…”

Zoro, however, was not interested in appreciating the scenery. He glanced around and landed on the sign of a tavern not far away: “There’s a store over there. Do you want to go in and take a look?”

“You are still a minor, why do you want to drink?” Kuina scolded in a tender voice!

Just then, a gentle female voice interrupted their discussion: “Is this your first time on Angel Island?”

Everyone turned to look, and saw a blonde girl standing not far away, with her little wings fluttering gently behind her, and a kind and gentle expression on her face.

“I’m Conis, do you need a guide?”

Kuina smiled politely and took the lead to step forward: “Hello, Miss Conis. We are indeed not familiar with this place. Could you please show us around?”

“Of course.” Conis smiled sincerely, “I’m happy to introduce you to the culture and specialties of Angel Island!”

Under the leadership of Conis, everyone started a joyful exploration:

Shellfish Workshop: Conis explained in detail the unique “shellfish” technology of Sky Island, such as the “wind shells” that can emit wind pressure, the “shock shells” that produce shock waves, and the “sound shells” that record sounds. Luffy and Ace’s eyes lit up and they almost emptied the display shelves.

Yunhai Restaurant: They tasted the “Yunhai Fish” and “Sky Island Jelly Fruit” unique to Sky Island. Luffy and Ace ate ten servings in one go, which shocked the restaurant owner and even almost emptied the kitchen.

Angel Square: In the center of the square stands a huge angel statue, its white wings shining in the sun. Conis said: “This is the guardian symbol of Sky Island. Legend has it that it once protected the entire island from destruction.”

Sky Island History Museum: When everyone followed Conis to the museum with great interest, they found that the door was closed and there was a notice saying “Temporarily Closed” on the door.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Conis’s face, and she explained softly, “Recently, Lord Enel ordered a rectification, and many historical exhibitions have been removed… They should be able to reopen in the near future.”

Luo’s eyes darkened a little, and he keenly noticed that when Conis mentioned “Enelu”, her tone suddenly became tense, and there was a subtle fear in her eyes.

As the sun sets, the sea of ​​clouds is dyed with a layer of golden and red afterglow.

Conis sent them back to the edge of the cloud and smiled softly, “It’s nice to meet you today. I hope you like Angel Island.”

“Thank you, Miss Conis.” Kuina nodded in thanks.

Just as Connie turned around and prepared to leave, Luo suddenly said, “Miss Connie, can I ask you a question?”

“Huh?” Conis was slightly stunned and looked back.

Law looked her straight in the eyes, his tone calm but scrutinizing: “Who… is Enelu?”

Conis’s face turned pale in an instant, and her lips trembled slightly.

“He… is the god of Sky Island.” She almost whispered, “Please… don’t mention his name in front of outsiders, it will cause big trouble…”

After saying that, she bowed hastily, turned around and walked away quickly, with fear and depression evident in her back.

Everyone looked at each other, and the air suddenly became heavy.

Luo narrowed his eyes, looking at the huge temple in the distance that towered into the clouds and was shrouded in lightning, and whispered: “It seems… the secret of this island is much more complicated than expected.”
