"Where are these morons?"
Being alone now, Gin looked around. However, now that he had just escaped the giant snake, he noticed that he was all alone. Crossing his arms, he began to think.
"Can I trust those idiots to be able to make it to the meeting place?"
Thinking for a few seconds, he ends up grimacing, thinking of Luffy and Zoro.
"No way those idiots will get there! However, knowing their sense of direction, there is no way they could have come back to the place where we parted! Going back there will be useless."
So looking at the sun, Gin tried to orient himself.
"It must barely be ten o'clock in the morning! Therefore, the sun is still in the east! I must go to the opposite side."
So starting to walk, he couldn't help but move hesitantly. If he went in the right direction and arrived first, wasn't there a risk that he would run into Enel? And if so, did he have a chance of defeating the god of this island?
Growling, he cursed his hesitation.
" I must not hesitate! I must show my strength. "
Suddenly, falling from a branch, a figure dropped and landed on the man's bag.
" What ? "
"Morpeko." a pokemon shouted, trying to open Gin's bag.
Shaking him, Gin knocked him to the floor. Looking at the animal, Gin was surprised at his small size.
" A mouse ? "
"Morpeko." The pokemon shouted, not getting to his feet, while reaching his arms for Gin's bag.
"Huh? Do you want the food in my bag?"
"Morpeko!" The pokemon agreed, nodding.
Simply growling, Gin finally walked away.
"As if I was going to share my food with you."
"Morpeko." the pokemon insisted, starting to follow him.
" GET OUT ! " Shouted Gin.
At that moment, electricity appeared around the pokemon.
"What...?" Gin wondered.
Disappearing as quickly as it had appeared, the electricity let the pokemon appear, which had changed color.
"MORPEKO!" Roared the black pokemon, who was now in front of Gin.
" How ? "
Morpeko use AURA WHEEL.
Seeing the pokemon create a wheel of lightning, around him, before rushing at him, Gin cried out in fear, before the area disappeared in an explosion.
"What was that?" Vivi asked.
Being also separated from the rest of the group, the former princess had left Carue's back, while the duck was lying on the ground, dead tired. Her ears straining, she was sure she had heard the sound of an explosion.
"The snake isn't following us anymore! But I hope the others are okay."
"QUA!" Carue told him simply.
"Retracing our steps could be a bad idea! Nothing tells us that the giant snake is waiting for us there! It is better to move forward and go to the meeting place! But how do you know where the West is?"
Suddenly a memory of the night before popped into her mind.
Being walking, Robin noticed that Vivi was staring at the sun in awe.
"Are you afraid that the sun will disappear, Princess Wednesday?" She asked, with a mocking smile.
"Grrr! Don't laugh at me! It's just that we can't use a compass! To get back to the Merry, we can only trust the sun."
"Not really." Robin retorted. "Even though the sun is a natural landmark, you must not forget that it constantly changes position! Relying solely on it can be a very bad idea."
Then, crouching down in front of a tree, Robin showed her an area of the trunk, which was completely green.
"Do you see that? It's moss! And on a tree, it only grows on the north side of the trunk."
"The north side? I didn't know."
Extending her mocking smile, Robin declared.
"Don't worry! I didn't expect you to know much about this, princess! Nevertheless, even children know something like this! I wonder how you managed not to get lost in your castle."
" Grrrrr ! "
Thinking back to Robin's advice, Vivi inspected the trunk of a tree, and noticed that the moss was only growing on one side.
"This side...is the North! So the West is over there! I'm saved."
Nevertheless, finding that Robin was the one he gave her this information, she eventually put on a pout, while declaring.
"I could have done it on my own! Carue, here we go again."
"Qua!" complained her pet, still tired.
But as the duo walked away, neither of them saw the silhouette of a pokemon, watching them.
" Absol. "
Running, screaming in fear, Lucy was chased by a huge creature. While she had just shaken off the giant python, she had crossed paths with a similar creature, whose body was made entirely of steel.
"Steelix." the pokemon shouted, chasing after her.
" WHY MEEEEEEEEEE ? "
Moving forward while singing, Luffy didn't seem to mind being alone at all. Walking through the forest, he thought he was heading west, while he was walking south.
"Second verse." He shouted, before starting to sing.
"It's the first time I've seen someone walk so relaxed in the Upper Yard Forest."
Startled, Luffy turned around.
" Who is here ? "
"I'm up there." A voice replied.
Raising his face, Luffy finally saw a man sitting on the branch of a tree, staring at him with a smile.
"Hi!" he greeted, waving his hand.
"Who are you?" Luffy questioned him.
Then he saw the strange shape of the top of the man's head. It looked like...
"A chestnut." Luffy affirmed, pointing to Norland's head. "You're from Cricket's family, aren't you?"
"Huh?" Norland wondered. "Cricket ?"
"Yeah! He's an old man living on Jaya! He's trying to find the city of gold his ancestor discovered! Are you his family?"
"When you say his ancestor, do you mean Norland?"
"Yeah! I forgot his name." Said Luffy.
Surprised at first, Noland found his smile again, before dropping from his branch. Then, landing near Luffy, he introduced himself.
"I am indeed from the Montblanc family! My name is Nor...man! Montblanc Norman! And I am an explorer."
"An explorer?" Luffy repeated. "So cool! And are you also here to find the city of gold?"
"The City of Gold! Is it here?"
"Of course! Nami said that this island was a part of Jaya and it was thrown into the sky, because of the huge geyser that took us here."
" Le Knock up stream ? "
Starting to think, he declared.
"I knew this island was part of Jaya! However, I couldn't understand how she ended up here! I had heard of the Knock Up Stream, but I didn't know its power was so devastating."
Then, shrugging his shoulders, he declared.
"Nevertheless, sorry Mugiwara! There is not a trace of gold on this island."
" Huh ? "
"The gold city is in the right eye of the skull." Norland affirmed, crossing his arms. "My ancestor wrote this sentence and it was easy for me to understand it! Nevertheless, even searching this area meticulously, I did not manage to find any nugget of gold.
"There is no city on this island?"
"There is a city, but it is not of gold."
Hearing this, Luffy nodded, before declaring.
"Yosh! If there's a city, I'll go there."
"Huh? What for?"
"If you haven't found any gold, let me take care of it! The best treasure hunters are the pirates."
"Pirates? Oh, I see! You're here to find the gold."
"Not really! If I want to find the gold, it's to prevent Nami from being mad! Me, I'm not interested! Before last night, I didn't even know there was gold here. "
"Huh? Then why did you come here?"
Extending his smile, Luffy declared.
"Because going to a sky island felt like the start of a long adventure! There's nothing more exciting than exploring an unknown island! Don't you agree?"
Surprised again, Norland finally chuckled.
"Mugiwara...maybe you have the soul of an explorer."
"Thanks! By the way, why are you still on this island?"
" Huh ? "
"You said you didn't find any gold! Why are you still here? Are you looking for a clue that can prove Noland wasn't a liar?"
Remaining silent, Norland just stared at Luffy. Then, finally he declared.
"I don't need a clue! Or even to prove anything."
Showing a confident gaze, he declared.
"If Norland said he struck gold, I believe him."
Seeming to understand his confidence, Luffy nodded, declaring.
"Me too, I believe in him."
Then, heading south, he declared.
"I will find the city."
Seeing him going in the wrong direction, Norland called him.
"Mugiwara...the city is over there."
" Huh ? "
"In the morning, the west is on the side opposite the sun."
"Nonsense! South is always on the hotter side! So the Sun is always in the South! West is that way."
Hearing his reasoning, Norland affirmed.
"In the end, you are not cut out to be an explorer."
However, jumping back, he dodged a purple sphere that hit the ground.
"Hey, what was that?"
Appearing, two pokemon glared at the two men, before glaring at Luffy angrily.
"You?" Luffy wondered recognizing them.
Misdreavus use SHADOW BALL
Hattrem use MAGICAL LEAF
Passing his hand under his nose, Enel finally got up. Then, tilting his head from side to side, he cracked the muscles in his neck, staring at Smoker. Fixing him too, the colonel still had his jitte in his hand, ready to use it to annihilate his opponent.
The tension around the two men was frightening, while the rest of Smoker's group looked at the pair in awe. However, when he had every reason to be angry, Enel finally applauded.
"Congratulations! You're the first person I've met who's managed to punch me! You're very impressive."
Seeing him smile at him, while complimenting him, Smoker seemed even more annoyed.
"Do you think it's by becoming friendly that I'll forget what you did to my men?"
"Come on, Major! Is that a way of addressing the god of this island? It's true that you managed to hit me! But I have to tell you something! If I had wanted to, I would have dodged your attack! Nevertheless, if I remained motionless, it was because I had no idea that your weapon would manage to hit me."
Extending his smile, he declared.
"A weapon that can hurt the gods? I want it."
"Tsss! Do you really think to can win against me?" Smoker questioned.
In response, Enel pretended to transform his fingers into a revolver, before pointing them at Smoker. However, changing targets, he ends up aiming for a soldier, before creating a lightning bullet. And, before anyone could react, the projectile hit the soldier's abdomen, electrocuting him.
Screaming, the soldier ends up being completely charred, before falling to the ground. Screaming in fear, his comrades backed away from him, barely catching sight of Enel's attack.
The god said.
"I'm too fast for you."
Immediately, Smoker's jitte was back in front of his face.
" I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ! "
Nevertheless, he struck into the void, while Enel's body turned into lightning before disappearing.
" That ? "
Then, lightning sounded behind him. Having felt the hands of Enel fell on their heads, two other soldiers had been struck down. Leaving their bodies fallen to the ground, Enel declared.
"You won't be fast enough to defeat me."
Dropping to their bottoms, Jango and Fullbody cried out in fear.
"Who...Who is this monster?"
" Mom. "
However, unlike them, Tashigi grabbed her saber, before positioning it above her and bringing it down towards Enel. Barely glancing at her, Enel finally felt the blade of the weapon slash his shoulder.
Yet, remaining standing, he didn't even wince, as electricity shot out of his body instead of blood.
"What?" Tashigi wondered.
" TASHIGI ! " Shouted Smoker.
"Sayonara." Enel said, pointing his finger at Tashigi's forehead, before flashing electricity.
However, before he could attack, an arrow pierced his skull, stopping him. However, remaining perfectly stoic, Enel ended up turning around, and heaved a sigh.
"Pit…have you still not realized that there is no point."
Growling, the angel had his bow in his hands, as he tried to attack Enel by surprise. Unfortunately, it didn't help. Still, smiling, he declared.
"Alone, I can't defeat you! But it's not the same if I have allies."
" Huh ? "
Appearing behind him, a cloud of smoke took on a human form, as Smoker aimed his jitte at Enel. Unfortunately, seeming to anticipate his gesture, the god simply ducked down, and felt the weapon pass over his head.
Frustrated, Smoker tried to hit him repeatedly. Unfortunately, hands behind his back, Enel backed away while dodging each of his attacks. Pursuing him, Smoker increased the speed of his hits, but that didn't change anything.
"Are you finished?" Enel asked, with a big smile.
Trying to hit him again, Smoker saw him disappear. Transforming into electricity, Enel then walked to the branch of a tree and changed back to his human form.
"Your meeting was very entertaining! Nevertheless, I only came to warn of the game that is taking place on this island! If I already start eliminating you all, it will not be fun at all! I just hope that you have understood that trying to fight me is useless."
Then, transforming back into electricity, he disappeared.
Reappearing in his sanctuary, Enel massaged his jaw, where Smoker had struck him.
"That man…I won't forget." The god growled, before sitting down on his couch.
Then he saw Ladydevimon staring at him in frustration.
" What's up ? "
"You can go have fun...but not me."
"I didn't leave to play! I just tried a peaceful approach to allow the newcomers to understand what is going to happen! Is it my fault that they wanted to fight me?
"Enel-sama." Called one of his advisors. "It is not very safe to go alone to meet these people." Remember that the blue ocean is full of myths and legends! We have no idea what powers the people living there may have. "
In response, Enel created lightning behind him, which took the form of a dragon. Seeing this, his advisers recoiled for fear of being struck down. Seeing the fear on their faces, Enel flashed a confident smile.
"No matter how powerful they are, a mortal is still a mortal! And everyone knows that a mortal cannot defeat a god."
Disappearing his dragon, he asked.
"Are the preparations all ready?"
"Yes! The remaining Prelates and Yama's elite group are already scattered all over Upper Yard! In all, our forces are 4 Prelates, Yama and 50 Sacred Guard soldiers! For pokemon, after yesterday's fights , ten of them are unable to fight! There are only 43 left."
Simply smiling, Enel counted on his fingers.
"And with my bodyguard and me, that's a group of 100 people."
"You also plan to fight?" Asked one of his advisers. "Sorry to make that comment but...I think the pokemon on this island will be more than enough if they decide to cooperate to defeat our opponents."
Simply laughing, Enel pointed to his advisors, while declaring.
"I think you underestimate the strength of our opponents! After all, if they were that weak, can you tell me how did they manage to defeat two prelates and ten pokemon, without one of them them be dead."
"It's true that it's impressive but ... attacking them with all our might is like saying that we are afraid of them."
" Not at all." Retorted Enel. "It's even a great way to show our strength, if we manage to crush them all."
Counting on his fingers, he affirmed.
"The enemy forces consist of 20 shandians... a pirate crew of 14 peoples, 2 animals and a pokemon... a Navy group whose number of individuals is now only 38... Pit.. .Ganfall...the demon woman...and the man who came with the Shandians and is now alone in the forest! That's 79 opponents."
Extending his smile, he declared.
"This will be a royal rumble with 179 participants."
Then turning to his advisers, he asked.
"How many of them do you think will still be alive in three hours?"
"Alive? It's hard to say! Our warriors are trained people while the prelates are almost invincible! But, it is unthinkable to underestimate the Shandians, while the powers of the blue sea humans are completely unknown! I would say that 60 people will be beaten during this time! So there would be about 120 participants left."
Starting to laugh again, Enel affirmed.
"I think you really underestimate the importance of this fight! People are not going to fight for a competition! No, they are going to fight to survive! And believe me the fights are going to be much more violent."
"Oh!" Ladydevimon said, sitting down on one of the sofa arms. "And how many do you think will still be up in 3 hours?"
Simply smiling, Enel said.
" 12 ! "
"What is this seashell?"
Having violently kicked an orange dial, Sanji had felt the impact of the blow being sucked by the shell, which was placed on a barrel.
"What does that mean? I knocked with all my might."
"The shell absorbed the impact?" Johnny wondered.
"Is it a dial that acts as a shield?" Yosaku asked.
"We can use it to protect ourselves from impacts." Ganfall agreed. "But above all he has extraordinary attacking power."
"An offensive power?"
"Put the holey part of the shell on the barrel and press the top of the dial."
"Huh, okay." Sanji said, doing as he said.
A violent explosion took place, while the barrel exploded into pieces. Thrown backwards, Sanji crashed at the feet of his friends, who recoiled in fear.
"But how...?" Nami wondered.
"Looks like the dial rejected the impact Sanji caused by hitting it." Raynare remarked.
"It is." Gan Fall agreed. "It's a dial impact! It absorbs the shocks it receives and restores them when desired! It is a formidable weapon, during a fight! To use it, simply carry it in the palm from the hand. "
"Palm?" Usopp and Yosaku repeated. "
Suddenly, thinking back to their fight against Satori, the two men understood.
"It was thanks to this that he could create impacts by touching us."
Thinking, Johnny looked at a pile of dials that were on the floor of the Merry.
"All of these dials were found on the bodies of the soldiers Chopper-Aniki fought yesterday! They're all Impact-dials."
"No! Most of them are Axe-dials! It's the dial a Holy Guard soldier has on him! It can create a sharp draft of air, capable of slicing through stone."
"That's how they managed to damage the Merry." Menma asserted.
"Impact...Fire...Axe..." Sanji repeated. "Are there other dials that could pose a threat to us?"
"Yes." Ganfall agreed. "The most dangerous of them! The Reject-dial! It is an Impact dial that can absorb shocks and deliver them with ten times more power! Nevertheless, the shock can kill the person using it."
"That's scary." Usopp remarked.
For his part, continuing to be pensive, Johnny eventually grabs hold of one of the Axe-dials, before examining it.
"Just put it in the palm of the hand?"
