84 Chapter 84 Start With Thunder Fruit! The Captured Blackbeard Gang, And Admiral Targeting Ace!

Rubber, an insulator, is a material that does not exist in Sky Island.

However, the power of millions of volts of lightning cannot be withstood by simple rubber.

When faced with ultra-high voltage lightning, insulators also generate high temperatures.

The high temperature is enough to melt rubber and cause significant damage.

However, the Nika form, also known as the Sun God, is almost immune to heat-based damage.

In the original story, even the fiery breath of the Four Emperors, Kaido, which can obliterate a mountain, only turns Luffy's body black, and he can recover in a matter of seconds.

Similarly, because he is a Sun God and possesses rubber properties, he can also catch lightning with his bare hands.

This is a complete and total restraint on the Thunder Fruit from top to bottom.

Calling it a natural enemy is not an exaggeration!

At this moment, Luffy pinches Enel's neck and lifts him up.

"The fruit is truly superior to everything else!"

Enel cannot move and struggles to breathe.

Overwhelmed by the overwhelming power, he can't even think about how to escape.

As Luffy tightens his five fingers, his consciousness begins to fade.

"Where is the ship you are building that can fly?"

Taking advantage of the fact that Enel hasn't passed out yet, Luffy calmly asks, "Did you use Skypiea's gold to build that ship?"

Enel grabs Luffy's wrist and tries to move his mouth, but can only make a faint sound.

"Your...purpose...is the ship?!"

"I happen to need a ship recently, and the number of crew members is increasing."

Just for a ship?!

Veins pop up on Enel's forehead.

"Let me go...!"

"That won't do. If I let go, you will escape by elementalization. The speed of lightning is still very fast, and even I might not be able to catch up. Even if I can catch up, it would be a waste of time.

The Merry Go does have a pair of seastone handcuffs, but I don't have them on me.

Luffy can only use Armament Haki to grasp Enel's true form, ensuring that this unlucky individual doesn't escape.

"Tell me, where is the ship? If you don't tell me, I can have someone find it... hmm?"

As he spoke, Luffy raised an eyebrow and glanced towards the outside of the temple.

Accompanied by the roar of a certain beast, an old man in armor rode a flying Pegasus and approached with a long spear in hand.

Gan Fall, who had noticed the disturbance in the temple, arrived at this moment and witnessed a shocking scene.

6 years ago, Enel, who had taken his temple and stolen the power of the gods, was now like a defeated dog, being held up by another man by the neck.

"Who are you?" Gan Fall asked in shock.

A silver figure, white hair burning like flames, a face never seen before.

An outsider?

Luffy withdrew his gaze from the other person and immediately unleashed Armament Haki.

Haki flowed through the hand holding Enel, directly entering his body.

Internal destruction!

Boom!!

Enel groaned, his spine instantly shattered, and Armament Haki destroyed his internal organs.

Blood overflowed from his mouth, staining a large area on his chest.

Enel lost consciousness, his eyes devoid of spirit, and his head drooped.

"He's dead?!" Gan Fall exclaimed, wide-eyed.

[What did the man with white hair do?]

At the same time...

The Null Fruit, hanging on Luffy's waist, prevented the Thunder Fruit from reincarnating. After Enel's death, the power that should have been reborn somewhere in the world was absorbed by the Null Fruit.

Subsequently, the shape of the fruit changed, and complex spiral patterns appeared on its surface, As it turned into the Thunder Fruit!

After completing all this, Luffy threw Enel's body aside and sat down on the bed.

Crossing his legs, he casually picked up an apple next to him.

Taking a bite, he asked:

"Are you the original god? What was your name again?"

"Gan·Fall.... Who are you?"

Gan·Fall snapped back to reality, jumping off the Heavenly Horse and landing next to Enel.

With a glance, he confirmed that the other party was really dead.

He actually died!

Enel, who ruled this Sky Island for six years, died so mysteriously?

The situation was too bizarre, and he still couldn't believe it.

"I am the Sun God, Monkey D. Luffy."

"Is that so? Are you also here to rule Skypiea..."

Gan·Fall's heart sank.

One god died, and now another god appeared?

"No, I'm not interested in your land. I'm just passing through."

Luffy shook his head and said, "The person at your feet happens to have something I need."

It's not that he's not interested in ruling, but he's not interested in ruling just a Sky Island.

It's too insignificant, only Enel would be so boring.

Gan·Fall paused for a moment, then realized something was wrong.

"Are you from the blue sea? I heard that three pirate ships came here before."

Luffy neither confirmed nor denied, and said frankly, "I know you. You were the ruler of this Sky Island before, the former god."

"Yes." Gan·Fall nodded and admitted his identity. "Six years ago, Enel forcibly occupied this place with his subordinates and subjected the people of this country to terrifying oppression. After destroying his hometown, a Sky Island called Birka, he came here..."

Luffy, of course, knew the story behind all this, but he wasn't interested in saying much.

He waved his hand and said, "I can return your country to you. I will leave afterwards, and I'm not particularly interested in your Sky Island. But there are two conditions."

Upon hearing this, Gan·Fall trembled all over.

"Really? You liberated this country, killed Enel, you are our hero. Even if it's two conditions, I will do my best to help you fulfill them."

Happiness came too suddenly. For these six years, he had always wanted to resist, but his power was too weak, and he was no match for Enel.

He couldn't even defeat the priests under Enel's command.

So when he heard Luffy say this, he agreed without hesitation.

"Condition one, Enel stole Skypiea's gold and built a ship on this island. It should be hidden in a cave. Help me find it."

"Condition two, when we entered the country, my navigator paid over two million in entry fees. Please return it to her, otherwise I am afraid my navigator may have hard time sleeping the new few days."

Upon hearing this, Gan Fall was stunned.

Is this also a condition?

Could it be that this person is actually a good person?

He thought that the other party would demand some compensation, such as asking each Sky Islander to contribute money, or valuable items, or even ask for some beautiful women or slaves...

After all, the other party is a pirate.

These are the conditions that pirates like to mention!

"Is that all?" Gan Fall asked incredulously.

"That's it, I'm not interested in anything else," Luffy finished eating an apple, threw the core aside, and smiled. "By the way, that ship should not be completely finished yet, so please help finish it."

Enel's goal is to sail his ship to the moon and establish a true divine kingdom.

Since he hasn't left yet, it means the ship is not yet finished.

But it shouldn't take much longer, probably just a day or two.

"Luffy-sama, I understand. I will do it immediately!"

Gan Fall took a deep breath, confirmed that this guy was really a good person, and immediately jumped onto his Heavenly Horse and flew into the sky.

Watching him fly away, Luffy finally had time to take out the Thunder Fruit and examine it carefully.

The ship Enel built is a spaceship that can fly to the moon, but its power source is lightning and it relies on the Thunder Fruit.

"Thunder for Nami, Rain for Vivi, plus Enel's ship, perfect!"

With this, the Straw Hat crew will have two Logia users.

Of course, they still can't be compared to the Four Emperors crew.

Luffy himself can indeed reach the level of the Four Emperors in terms of combat power, but his subordinates... are far behind the other Four Emperors crews.

"I wonder what those two are doing now?"

Lovely Street.

Nami, along with the members of the second division and her sister Nojiko, Vivi, and Miss Kaya, happily strolled through the streets of Sky Island, attracting curious glances from the locals.

Sky Island has developed a unique civilization, with many everyday items built on "Dials."

There are many types of dials on Sky Island: wind dials, cloud dials, sound dials, water dials, light dials, laser dials, impact dials, and so on, making for a dazzling array.

Nami and the others, who had never seen such novel things before, went on a shopping spree.

Fortunately, Beli is the world currency and is also accepted on Sky Island.

After buying a bunch of different types of Sky Island dials, the group of women continued to explore the clothing stores.

"Nami, did you forget our original purpose?Nojiko said helplessly. "You've bought enough already. Look at them, they can barely carry anything more."

"Hehe, let's buy some clothes for Luffy too. He only has a few outfits," Nami stuck out her tongue and silently put down the latest trendy dress from Sky Island, then turned to look at the members of the second division.

Each of them was carrying large and small bags, and the situation suddenly became difficult.

"We've spent too much money! We need to find gold first and earn the money back!"

At this moment, a group of men wearing white shell hats quickly burst into the store.

Seeing this group of people, the people of Sky Island, including the store clerks, became nervous.

"Are you tourists from the blue sea?"

Upon hearing the voice, Nami and the others turned their gaze towards it.

The leader of the men raised his right hand, with his index finger and pinky finger raised, placed it on top of his head, and made a greeting gesture unique to the people of Sky Island.

"Heso.."

"Heso.."

"I am Captain McKinley of the White Berets, and I came from the Temple following God's Order. Among you, who is Nami?"

McKinley's gaze swept over the crowd and finally settled on Nami.

"It's me, what's the matter?" Nami stood up. "We already paid to enter and are legal tourists."

"That's not important. Since you are Nami, come with me to the Temple to meet the gods."

The captain said solemnly, "Consider yourself honored, people from blue sea. Even we find it difficult to see the Divine God. You have the opportunity to do so, so be grateful."

"Huh? Why?" Nami laughed, finding it strange that a god suddenly appeared and wanted her to meet him.

"Do you want to resist? God will bring down sanctions!" McKinley said in a deep voice.

At this moment, a member of the second team, Mr.1, stepped forward silently and stood in front of Nami.

Immediately after, Mr.3 jumped out and said, "Be careful with your tone, Sky Island people. Miss Nami is Mr. Luffy's...".

"Step back, Mr.3."

"Yes, Miss Nami!" Mr.3 quickly took two steps back.

Nami crossed her arms and asked with interest, "The god you mentioned, should know where the gold is, right?"

"Gold?" McKinley was confused.

"Golden City... never mind. Take me there!"

Nami was ready to ask in person about the god, who seemed to hold a high position and surely knew something.

The temple.

Luffy lay on the bed and yawned.

His Observation Haki could cover the entire island, including Angel Island.

What Enel could do, he could do something similar.

However, without the Thunder Fruit, he couldn't hear exactly what Nami was saying.

"They are moving towards this island?" Luffy raised his eyebrows and shook his head. "The Sky Island people brought them here, using the Milky Road, right?"

After going through so much trouble to find the gold, it turned out that the gold had been transformed into a ship...

He was eagerly anticipating Nami's reaction to this revelation.

As for the other side.

Robin, Zoro, and Sanji had already entered the ruins of Shandora.

They encountered four priests and were now engaged in a fierce battle.

To be precise, it was Zoro and Sanji fighting against four.

Robin was busy exploring the ruins.

"As for Zoro, it's fine, but can Sanji handle it? He only knows one of the Six Styles."

Luffy observed with great interest.

His Observation Haki can only detect auras, and from the strength of the auras, he can barely outline the situation of a battle.

Observation Haki is the ability to sense the presence, strength, and emotions of others, as well as gain limited precognitive abilities.

At an advanced level, it can even predict the immediate future.

Just as the Straw Hat Crew landed on Sky Island and defeated God Enel.

Below, on the Blue Sea, on the Grand Line.

On the deck of a warship.

"Admiral Aokiji, are we really going back like this?" said a colonel with a speechless expression.

"I have no choice. They've already escaped to the sky," Aokiji replied, lying on the sun chair, wearing an eye mask, sounding helpless, as if he were serious.

"But we will definitely be scolded by the Fleet Admiral. How about we patrol this sea area for a while? The Straw Hat Crew will eventually come down, right?" the colonel suggested.

Come down?

Aokiji took off his eye mask and glanced at his subordinate.

So what if they come down?

He couldn't really do anything to Straw Hat Luffy. After all, he is Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, and out of respect for his master, he couldn't do much.

If they were determined to protect Nico Robin, all he could do was shrug and admit defeat.

And to be honest, he wasn't very interested in capturing Nico Robin either.

It has been 20 years, and the government claimed she was the key to releasing demons, but the world hasn't changed much.

"I don't know what to do either..." Aokiji said, a little confused, as he put his eye mask back on.

The position of the Marines, the relationship between master and disciple, the slight guilt over what happened in the past, the confusion over Saul's choice all made him to lazy...

At that moment, the Den Den Mushi made a buzzing sound.

The colonel picked up the receiver, and the voice of the Fleet Admiral came from the other end.

"Aokiji, how is the situation?"

Aokiji lay still and lazily said, "Sorry, they got away."

"Don't joke with me. With your strength, you're telling me someone got away? If you're going to make excuses, at least come up with a better one. I'm the one who reports to the higher-ups!" Den Den mushi imitated the tone and demeanor of Sengoku.(ノಠ益ಠ)

"I was caught off guard. That Straw Hat Luffy has the power of Conqueror's Haki. No one in the intelligence told me about that," Aokiji used one of his three workplace skills, shifting blame.

"What did you say?!" Sengoku's attention was indeed diverted, his tone shocked.

Impossible!

How is this possible?

Garp's grandson is still so young?

On this vast sea, a power that only a few true strong individuals can master is actually controlled by a mere teenager?

That bastard Aokiji, could he be lying?

No, although Aokiji is lazy, he wouldn't tell such lies.

Sitting in the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku was momentarily stunned.

After a quiet moment, he took a deep breath and said,

"Put that matter aside for now. I have a more important task for you. If you complete this, the government won't have anything to say!"

Admirals really have busy lives.

Aokiji touched his abdominal injury and helplessly said, "What is it?"

"The intelligence department of the Crane has obtained sighting information on 'Fire Fist' Ace. You need to go immediately and bring him back! This time, no fooling around! Understand?"

For the World Government, compared to long-term threats like Nico Robin, it was obviously more urgent to deal with Fire Fist Ace in the current situation.

"Ah... Whitebeard's captain. Understood."

After cutting off the communication, Aokiji stood up and selected a bike from the deck.

Then he rode off.

"You guys go back to headquarters first. I'll go carry out the mission."

"Eh? What about the pirates we caught yesterday?"

"Send them to prison. They're just small fry."

"Understood."
