Chapter 67: Arc 6: The Two Gods Meet, Enel Vs. Sasha
"Why, you..." Sanji growled, already charging at Enel who had paid the ship an unwelcome visit. "Bastard!" he swung his foot out, only to be knocked out by Enel's lightning.
"Say something, Sanji!" Usopp was immediately at the unconscious cook's side. "What happened, Sanji?" he tired to listen for a heartbeat. "I can't hear his heart!"
"What a foolish man." Enel chuckled. "And I didn't even come here to bring your harm."
"Then, why are you here?" Gan Fall demanded.
"What a cold-hearted hello." Enel mocked. "It's truly been six long years, Former God Gan Fall."
"Damn him!" Usopp wailed. "He killed Sanji! It's no use! His heart isn't beating at all! Damnit, if only Chopper was here..."
"Usopp, isn't that his right side?" Sasha pointed out. "The heart's on the left."
"It's beating!" Usopp declared. "Thank goodness! He came back to life!"
"But he's seriously injured." Nami stated. "He could die."
"Enel..." Gan Fall glared at the usurper.
"There's no need to be indignant." Enel chided. "It's been so long wince we last met. Why don't you cheer up a bit, Gan Fall?"
"What the hell did you do the Sanji?" the shivering Usopp stood up. "He ran?" he blinked when Enel disappeared from sight.
"Hardening." Sasha was already on the defensive, her Armament Haki-imbued bident staff blocking off the lightning Enel expelled from his hand.
"Your men that I captured when we invaded this island six years ago are working very hard for me." Enel bragged to Gan Fall. "They're very strong. Truly a great talent, they are. But it appears that their six years of hard labor is nearing its end. And as I'll no longer have any need for this island once they're done, I thought I would come to bid you farewell. That is all. However, the denizens of Skypiea are all ignorant fools. They only view this island as a clump of Vearth, you see. The reason we forcefully took this island away, the reason the Blue Sea flies stepped foot on this island, and the reason the Shandians are intent on returning to their home are not at all different. In other words, there is but one reason everyone seeks on this island. It was because everyone desires the great relics of Shandora, the legendary city of gold that prospered in the Blue Sea long ago. Funnily enough, this game is the final battle. The winner of this survivor game will make the bountiful gold his own. Can you hear it?" he laughed, standing on the railing. "The sounds of the lively festival. As a matter of fact, I am a participant myself, so I must be off."
"Wait, Enel!" Gan Fall voiced. "The Divine Squad... are you going to free them?"
"God only knows." Enel shrugged.
"From one God to another," Sasha stated calmly, her Divine Haki forming an outline of light around her. "A God who hold no love for his people is nothing but a false God."
Enel turned a glare at the insolent girl had dared insult him, he reached out a crackling hand of lightning to remove her when the Goro Goro no Mi user suddenly dispelled his lightning. "You are an intriguing girl. You interest me," he admitted and disappeared in a crack of lightning.
A few minutes later, Hotori and Kotori appeared on the ship.
"Who are you?" Nami demanded.
"Don't give us 'what'." Hotori and Kotori sang. "We're the Deputy Divine Commanders. How dare you kill our brother!"
"What?" Nami frowned. "I don't know any brother of yours."
"Don't play dumb!" Hotori posed. "My name is Hotori."
"My name is Kotori." Kotori posed. "You guys killed our brother."
"I told you, I don't know what you're talking about!" Nami insisted.
"Satori was one of Enel's four priests." Gan Fall explained. "He guarded Illusion Forest."
"Then, the priest Luffy and the others beat was..." Nami realized.
"Yes, their elder brother." Gan Fall confirmed.
"You must pay!" Hotori and Kotori declared.
"Pierre!" Gan Fall called, the bird tossing the aged Skypiean his spear. "I must take care of them and hurry after Enel. There is no telling what he might do to my subordinates. Stand back, you three." he instructed when Nami took out her Clima-Tact. "Even with my injuries, I will not lose to them."
"No, sometimes, even I..." Nami objected. "Have to protect what is important."
"Indeed." Sasha agreed. "Ex-quip: Maelstrom Warrior Armor!"
"First, ascertain their dials." Gan Fall instructed.
