Seeing the huge sphere of lightning growing again and again, Gan Fall ordered Pierre to move away from it.
"We need to get back to the ground quickly." He asserted, seeing several lightning flashes pass near them.
"NO!" Luffy retorted. "We have to go higher."
"WHAT?" The knight wondered. "Mugiwara, don't talk nonsense! Even you will never be able to survive this."
" We have no choice. " Luffy retorted. "If Enel is allowed to attack the island, everyone will die."
Thinking back to his fight on Maxim, he assured.
"I'm the only one who can face his power."
" Really ? "
" Mugiwara stop believing in miracles, you're only making a fool of yourself. " Enel affirmed. "Even a rubber man can do nothing against my divine power."
"SHUT UP! You're not a god! And even if you were one, I wouldn't be afraid to face you! Do you want to destroy Skypiea? Imbecile! I would never let you! EVER!"
Suddenly, he was surprised to feel Pierre fly towards the huge sphere of lightning.
" Que ... ? "
" Mugiwara. " Gan Fall said, looking down.
at that moment, several lightnings descended from the sky and targeted them.
"Protect Skypiea."
The bolts hit their targets and Enel smiled as he saw Pierre and Gan Fall, charred, falling to the ground.
"Let's have an abortion." The blond affirmed.
" ENEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL ! "
Stunned to feel an aura, Enel saw Luffy being thrown high into the sky, still followed by his golden sphere.
"Mugiwara?"
"I'm going to destroy your lightning sphere." Luffy asserted, flying towards his attack.
"GRRRR! RAIGO!" Enel shouted, pointing his hand skyward.
Raising their eyes to the sky, everyone in Upper Yard or Skypiea saw lightning falling from the sky and heading towards Luffy. Yet, letting out a battle cry, the boy thrust his trapped arm skyward, and let his giant ball take the lightning.
" Everyone. " Luffy thought, while trying to find out the exact number of people who had fought today to allow him to be where he was. " I promise you, you didn't do all this for nothing. "
Then, everyone saw him disappear into the sphere of lightning.
" LUFFY ? " Usopp frightened, as Heracross had just landed on the ground.
"Mugiwara?" Bellamy wondered.
"Tsssss." Smoker and Wiper growled.
Also looking at Luffy's suicidal gesture, while still standing on Nola's head, Marco affirmed.
"This guy is crazy! It's suicide."
However, calmer than him, Kuina had the impression of seeing something change.
"Mugiwara...who are you?"
Also watching the fight, Widos asked himself the same question, while he wondered.
"Is he a god hunter?"
"HAHAHAHA!" Ria Enel, being sure to have won his fight. "BAKAYARO! All those fights and stupid stupid things to end like this! You disappoint me, Mugiwara."
" HANABI ! "
Startled, Enel still managed to sense Luffy's presence, through the giant sphere. Seeming to see his every move perfectly, he saw him attack the sphere, throwing his giant ball in all directions.
" What is he doing ? "
"The golden sphere." Nami understood. "Luffy uses it as a kind of lightning rod! And by moving it like he does, he prevents the flow of electricity."
at that moment, a huge crack appeared in the lightning sphere and Luffy's golden ball came out of it. Then, the next moment, Enel's attack disappeared, scattering into cloud particles, which were quickly driven out of the sky by the rays of the sun, which was again visible.
"Impossible." Fullbody affirmed.
"Mugiwara...he stopped a god?" Jango wondered.
As surprised as the duo, Enel remained motionless.
"A mortal...stopped the plans of a god?"
Flashback
"Zarax-sama...why are you under the orders of a stupid mortal?"
"Huh?" A blond man wondered, seeing a child next to him. "Are you still there, Enel?"
"You are a god." Affirmed the child. "You are destined to dominate the world and not to be a member of a pitiful pirate crew! So why don't you do anything to show your power?"
For answer, Zarax drank the bottle of alcohol he held in his hand. Then, smiling, he declared.
"Roger...even though he is a mortal...I could never surpass his ambitions."
" What ? "
"Enel, listen carefully to what I am about to tell you! To be a god... is worse than to be a mortal! We have no dreams! Our life is monotonous and seems devoid of boredom! People fear and think we are superior beings! But ultimately, if they put in the effort, I'm sure they could surpass us."
Smiling sadly, he declared.
"Being a god is a curse."
"Grrrr! Anything." Enel suddenly roared.
Startled by the hostility in his voice, Zarax heard him say.
"One day I will show you how a god should behave! Yes, one day I will become the new god of this planet and I will show you how much better a god's life is than a mortal's. "
Somewhat surprised, Zarax chuckled next, before affirming.
"For a mortal to become a god... one must not just say it or believe it! One must have the necessary will."
" Willingness ? "
"Yes! The mortal most likely to become a god... is the one with the strongest of wills."
Gritting his teeth, Enel still remained motionless even when he heard a crashing sound behind him. having managed to land on the cloud where the ancient divine shrine was located, the young pirate could not hide his surprise, noting that the cloud was still floating even though the Giant Jack was no longer there to support it.
"We are still in heaven."
"Mugiwara..."
Finally turning to him, Enel questioned him.
"What do you think you can accomplish by stopping me?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Luffy questioned him.
"You are an insignificant being" affirmed Enel. "And I don't even need my powers to know your future! Mugiwara, even if by some miracle you manage to defeat me... you won't be able to become the Pirate King."
Thinking back to his idol, he declared.
"When you cross paths with Zarax, you will finally understand the huge gap between you and the true deities of this world! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO DEFEAT THEM! Whatever you manage to do and destroy your precious crew. "
"Grrrrr! SHUT UP! My journey and my dreams are all about me! And I certainly won't listen to the nonsense of a guy like you! I am ready to become even stronger than them to face them."
Hearing this, Enel was surprised to compare Luffy to Zarax. Nevertheless shaking his head, he retorted.
"No! I refuse! I refuse to admit that your will is stronger than mine! I am the mortal who obtained the powers of a god! I am the one who will control this world! I am... I am ... I have become the son of Zarax."
" I only see a moron in front of me. " Luffy retorted.
Suddenly, he closed one eye, embarrassed by a sudden light. Turning his face to the side, he suddenly widened his eyes, seeing a huge figure, half hidden behind a cloud.
Having been in this place for 400 years, the bell of Shandora had finally been seen, since a lightning had brushed the cloud where it was and had parted all the white substance which concealed the bell.
"The bell." Luffy recognized it.
"So she was there." Enel understood.
Then, again displaying a confident smile, he declared.
"Among the legends of Skypiea, one claims that this bell will ring again when the war between Skypiea and Shandora ends."
Staring at Luffy, Enel questioned him.
"Do you think this bell will actually ring to announce the release of Skypiea...or to accompany your funeral? AMAL !"
Letting the lightning cover him, Enel seemed to transform into a lightning giant, who faced Luffy.
" What ? "
"Mugiwara, you know gold, don't you? When you burn it, it doesn't melt! Nevertheless, the heat of lightning is able to accomplish this."
Creating electricity around him, he assured.
"I'm certain that your body has a limit and that my power at the maximum is capable of annihilating you."
"Even if that's the case, I'll just have to defeat you first." Luffy retorted, running towards him.
"Amateur!" Enel roared, clasping his two hands together. " LAST JUDGMENT !"
Creating a sphere of lightning, he transformed it into a ray of lightning, which swooped down on Luffy.
" DIE ! "
Eyes widening, Luffy suddenly twirled his imprisoned arm, before launching his golden ball towards Enel's attack. Striking the lightning, the giant sphere managed to scatter the electricity to the side.
However, as it headed towards Enel, the giant sphere eventually came to a halt, while part of its surface began to melt due to lightning.
"HAHAHAHA! BAKAYARO!" laughed Enel. "Didn't you hear what I told you? Your miserable golden ball will disappear in a few seconds."
Increasing the intensity of his attack to knock Luffy's arm back, he assured.
"This is my victory."
Can only clench his teeth, Luffy felt his feet kick back.
" DAMN IT ! "
Hattrem use MAGICAL LEAF.
Startled, Enel felt holes appear in his lightning body, as a storm of leaves attacked him.
" What ? "
Suddenly, appearing above the platform, several pokemons were visible.
"GLALIE!" the pokemon shouted, while Lucario was visible on its head.
"CORVISQUIRE!" cried the crow, as he carried Hattrem.
" FLYGON ! "
being with them, a green pokemon flew through the sky, while carrying male Absol on his back. Immediately, Lucario and Absol left behind their companions before appearing behind Enel.
Lucario use AURA SPHERE .
Absol use SHADOW BALL.
Feeling the two attacks crash into his body and explode, Enel growled in displeasure. Of course, he didn't feel the pain. However, he couldn't both rebuild his damaged body and still attack Luffy. But if his body was too damaged, he couldn't concentrate enough to maintain the power of his attack.
Knowing this, the pokemons attacked him more. Feeling part of his back being destroyed, Enel glared at them. Then, managing to continue attacking Luffy with one hand, he wielded the second behind him before creating numerous lightning bolts.
"Disappear!"
Immediately, his attacks hit Lucario and Absol, who were electrocuted. Managing to avoid them, the flying pokemon gained altitude, before launching ranged attacks.
Feeling the back of his head being rammed, Enel immediately attempted to cover his damaged body with lightning. But already, Luffy felt the strength of his attack diminish and he managed to take a step forward.
Seeing this, as he continued to get bombarded, Enel roared.
" Mind your own business. "
More lightning left his body and managed to hit the three flying pokemon. Nonetheless, leaping out of Corvisquire's back, Hattrem dropped down towards Enel.
Hat strap use PSYBEAM .
Feeling another attack hit him, Enel roared in rage, before raising his good hand and slamming the pokemon.
" DIE ! "
Hitting, the pokemon fell to the ground, not far from Luffy.
" POKEMON ! "
"It's your turn, Mugiwara." Enel affirmed, focusing only on Luffy.
Managing to increase the intensity of his attack, Enel smiled, hearing the giant sphere rapidly crack.
"When you are in the next world, say hello to the gods for me."
Luffy clenched his teeth and tried to stretch his arm forward. Nevertheless, Enel's attack power was too strong for him, while his injured and exhausted body couldn't match Enel's power.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Smiling as he heard her scream, Enel prepared to deliver the final blow. However, he stopped, seeing a source of light begin to shine.
" Huh ? "
instead of Hattrem, he saw a body light up, before growing and standing up.
" What ? "
Then, instead of the little pokemon, the duo saw a new pokemon appear.
" HATTERENE ! "
"How?" Luffy wondered.
"She evolved." Enel understood.
Getting ready to attack the pokemon, Enel got attacked again from the back, while Lucario and the others had forced themselves to see themselves rushing towards him, Enel created a sphere of lightning around him before ejecting him on all sides. Hit, the pokemon cried out in agony, before collapsing.
However, this diversion allowed Hatterene to head towards Luffy, before placing the appendix of her strange hat on the pirate's head.
Hatterene use AROMATHERAPY.
Immediately feeling his fatigue disappearing, Luffy thought he felt his strength increase tenfold. Then, screaming, he forced himself to take a step forward.
"It's useless." Enel asserted, as Luffy's sphere shattered.
Nonetheless, resting his good arm on the floor, Luffy continued to scream, before suddenly letting his legs act like push-ups. Then, behind him, Hatterene saw smoke appear around him.
" HATTE ... ? "
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Luffy shouted, throwing his arm forward and scattering Enel's lightning with what was left of his giant sphere.
Eyes widening, seeing his attack being repelled, Enel remained still, even as Luffy's fist closed in on him. And that was when Luffy's aura changed. It changed into something totally different from the aura of a mere human.
"Mugiwara...actually, I had no chance of defeating you."
" GUM GUM ... "
"You are like what Zarax told me."
" ... GOLD RIFLE ! "
"You are the human who can become a god."
Then, the next moment, he felt Luffy punch him hard enough to knock him back.
"I don't care about being a god! Me... I'm the one who will become the Pirate King."
Then, he ejected Enel in the direction of the giant bell.
"Everyone! Hear her! Hear the bell ring."
Then, the next moment, Enel's body violently hit the giant bell. However, as he was about to pass out, the blond smiled, while having had the chance to feel again the power of the supreme beings, of which he wanted to be like.
" Sugoi. "
Then, the next moment, the sound of the bell spread throughout the island and even beyond.
"OLD MAN! MONKEYS! Hear it! Hear the bell ring!"
"Huh?" Majira wondered.
" It was ... ?" began Shojo, raising his face.
Imitating him, Cricket smoked a cigarette, before smiling.
"Mugiwara...not only did he manage to reach Skypiea...but he also managed to find the Golden City."
Then, raising his gaze to the sky, to see Luffy's large shadow, which was in front of the sun, he inhaled a large amount of gold, before shouting.
" THANKS ! "
"Hurry up and load the boat." Sarquiss ordered.
being in the port of Mock Town, the pirate saw his men preparing their boat, while he asserted.
"Mugiwara...if I don't want to be killed by Doflamingo, I will kill you and bring him your head! I swear to it."
"Sarquiss!" shouted a man, running towards him. "It's finished."
Handing him a piece of paper, Sarquiss saw him move a little.
"Is it attracted to Mugiwara?" Sarquiss asked.
"Yes!" His subordinate assured him. "After the fight in the bar, where Mugiwara and Roronoa were defeated, Mugiwara lost blood when his head hit a window, which exploded! Thanks to this, we were able to collect some and make a Vivre Card.
"Perfect! Now we have every chance of finding him."
"But, how are we going to do it? The knock-up stream must have killed him."
"Never mind! We will visit Cricket and force his monkeys to obey us! With them, we will find the wreckage of Mugiwara's ship and we will seize his corpse! What matters is to make Dflamingo believe that we killed him.
However, he was surprised to see the piece of paper begin to point upwards.
" Huh ? "
Then, the sound of the bell was heard. Not understanding what was happening, Sarquiss raised his face to the ground, before widening his eyes.
Also seeing the giant shadow of Luffy, he and his companions were paralyzed when they recognized the silhouette of the man he wanted to chase.
"Mugiwara?"
"He's in the sky?"
"How did he get so big?"
Falling to his knees, Sarquiss didn't know what to say. Finally, seeing many rays of sunshine surrounding Luffy's figure, while the sound of the bell still rang, he finally whispered.
" God ... Luffy-sama. "
Also hearing the giant bell, Raynare and the others spotted Luffy defeating Enel and knocking down the giant bell on Upper Yard.
"It's over," Raynare said.
"That's impossible." A voice retorted.
Having seen Luffy defeat the former god of Upper Yard though, Pit couldn't believe he wasn't dreaming. Then, finally, he fell to his knees on the floor of the boat, before joining his arms in prayer.
"Luffy-sama... thank you."
Imitating him, Conis was sobbing, while affirming.
"The tyranny of Enel...is over.
"It's amazing!" Marco said. "He really defeated Enel."
"Monkey D. Luffy...you really aren't your average human." Kuina assured.
"Widos-sama could have defeated him faster." Mina retorted. "Besides, I wonder where he is."
Opening her eyes, Suzuka sat up before being surprised, noticing that she was on cloud nine.
" I am in paradise. "
"Idiot ! "
being not far from her, Widos had just seen Luffy defeat Enel, while he would have bet the opposite, this very morning.
"Mugiwara...I thought he would be just a pawn! But eventually, he might be more than that."
Approaching him, Suzuka was also surprised.
"He defeated Enel! I'm surprised."
Then, remembering her own defeat, Suzua looked pensive.
"Huh...regarding our deal, we both agree that it wasn't specified that I wasn't allowed to lose, was it?"
"As if you had any chance of winning." Widos retorted. "I knew from the start that you would be defeated, like all the others."
"Huh? But then why give us such a dangerous mission?"
"I never asked you to attack Ener or Mugiwara?" Widos retorted. "I just gave you permission to do whatever you want on this island and that's exactly what you did."
"But... are you happy that Mugiwara defeated Enel?"
"I don't care at all! I just wanted to see his limits! Nothing more."
Tilting her head to the side, Suzuka affirmed.
"So…if I did what you wanted, were you going to resurrect Esdeath-sama?"
"Of course...but not right away."
"What? Why?"
"Because I'm unable to." Widos retorted. "But, if my plan works, we can meet someone who can do it! And when that happens...the gods will disappear."
" Gods ? "
being also witnessing Luffy defeating Enel, Velvet affirmed.
"Now what? What am I going to do?"
Thinking about Luffy's proposal, the young woman couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster.
"Does he really want a woman like me to join him?"
Suddenly turning to her, Raynare frowned, before questioning her.
"Where is Luffy's hat?"
" Huh ? "
Suddenly placing her hand on her head, Velvet widened her eyes, realizing that Luffy's precious hat was missing.
"Where is he?" the demon asked, looking around.
"Huh? Are you talking about the hat you had on your head?" Pagaya questioned. "If I'm not mistaken, I saw him flying away, after you blocked Enel's attack."
"What?" The two women wondered, turning around. " But then ... "
Looking at the huge crater where Skypiea once stood, the pair understood.
"Luffy's hat...was pulverized?"
Having his eyes open, despite his shattered body, Gan Fall could hear the sound of Shandore's bell. Hearing this sound which he described as magnificent, he declared.
"It's over! This stupid war is finally over."
sitting cross-legged, Wiper retorted.
"Enel is no longer the god of this island but...that doesn't resolve our conflict."
" I think the opposite. " Retorted Gan Fall. "After all, I'm sure the next god on this island will make better decisions than me."
Suddenly grimacing in pain, Gan Fall finally declared.
"Wiper...I so wish we could listen to the sound of that bell, while we both drank a glass of pumpkin juice."
"Moron." Wiper growled, starting to light a cigarette.
Then, he looked at the sky, before expiring to smoke it.
"I'm warning you...I hate pumpkin juice! So I'll only drink one glass."
However, he froze when he saw Gan Fall close his eyes and turn his head to the side.
" Huh ? Old Man ? "
Gan Fall remained silent.
" OYE ! OLD MAN ! "
Starting to shake him, Wiper got no reaction from him. Then, putting his hand on his body, he finally stopped, before realizing that waking him up was useless.
Gan Fall, ancient god of Skypiea...was dead.
