"Finally!"

Although it's not Psychokinesis from Tatsumaki but from Geryuganshoop, it's still Psychokinesis. 

Byakuya recalled some details about Geryuganshoop: 

He was one of the Dark Matter Pirates' top combatants and claimed to be the greatest telekinesis master in the universe. 

In the anime, his telekinetic power is strong enough to influence gravity. 

However, despite all his flashy moves, Saitama still took him down with a single punch.

According to the system's explanation, while Geryuganshoop and Tatsumaki were powerful telekinetics, their strengths differed. 

Tatsumaki's telekinesis was more powerful overall, but she wasn't particularly skilled at manipulating objects with high speed. 

Geryuganshoop, on the other hand, could eliminate the friction between air and rocks, causing stones to fly at near-light speeds. 

As Kizaru famously said, "Speed is power." This shows how formidable Geryuganshoop's telekinetically controlled stones could be.

Byakuya even entertained a terrifying idea—what if he could combine the telekinetic powers of both Tatsumaki and Geryuganshoop? 

The resulting scene would be a sight to behold. However, that idea was currently impossible to achieve. 

After all, Byakuya's World Source Points weren't enough to increase his fusion level by another 10%. 

Even if he managed to do so, there was no guarantee that he would draw Tatsumaki's telekinesis. 

For now, Geryuganshoop's telekinesis was more than sufficient.

When he opened the special skills section, [Special Skill: Psychokinesis (Max)] stood out prominently. 

It was clear that Geryuganshoop's title as the universe's greatest telekinesis master wasn't just for show.

Byakuya could have also maxed out his Armament and Observation of Haki, but he chose not to. 

After all, throughout the history of the Grand Line, only a handful of people had managed to reach the pinnacle of both Haki types. 

If a 19-year-old like Byakuya achieved this, it would be more effective to keep leveling up his Haki in battle, hiding his true strength and catching enemies.

After closing the system panel, Byakuya eagerly tested his newly acquired telekinesis. 

After manipulating a few objects, he realized that he could only fully unleash the power of his telekinesis when controlling objects about the size of small stones. 

Other objects didn't seem to respond as effectively. 

So, as they passed through a small town, Byakuya ordered several hundred iron balls, each about half the size of a fist.

Over the next few days, Robin and the others noticed that Byakuya always had two iron balls in his hands, seemingly playing with them. 

Lucci boldly speculated that Byakuya was training his finger strength to enhance the power of his Finger Pistol technique. 

Blueno took this seriously and loudly admired Byakuya's dedication to training, even during brief moments of rest, as something they should strive to emulate. 

As a result, the two began mimicking Byakuya, playing with iron balls as well.

However, to Byakuya, their seemingly diligent efforts made them look like fools. 

They might have thought he was training his finger strength. 

Still, in reality, Byakuya was using telekinesis to rapidly move the two iron balls within a confined space in his hands without touching each other. 

This was how he refined his telekinesis. On the other hand, their actions would, at best, make the iron balls smoother over time.

Byakuya's original intent wasn't to use iron balls; he had wanted to use sea stone pebbles. 

Seastone would be far more effective due to its hardness and usefulness against Devil Fruit users. 

Unfortunately, most towns in the first half of the Grand Line didn't have a season. 

Even when they did, it was only a tiny amount, barely enough to make two small pieces. 

So, Byakuya had to shelve the idea for now, planning to secretly purchase some season from the black market when they reached the Sabaody Archipelago.

After several days at sea, their supplies were nearly depleted, and they needed to stop at a nearby island to restock. 

Byakuya initially didn't pay much attention to this, as it was a routine part of the voyage. 

However, when Robin mentioned that the island they were headed to was called Jaya, Byakuya's interest was piqued. 

It seemed that the 'Yoru' organization was about to gain a new member, and he was about to earn more World Source Points.

Byakuya instinctively looked up at the thick clouds in the sky and murmured, 

"This guy's personality is pretty nasty. I'll have to knock some sense into him before recruiting him into 'Yoru'."

....

In Skypiea, Enel, sitting in his palace, suddenly felt a wave of malice. 

"Is there someone daring enough to harbour ill intentions toward a god?" he muttered angrily as lightning flickered around him, accompanied by thunderous roars in the sky akin to divine punishment. 

The tens of thousands of residents on Angel Island were terrified, thinking that some fool had once again angered God.

Using his "Mantra" (Kenbunshoku Haki), Enel tried to sense everyone's thoughts on the island but couldn't detect anything unusual. 

However, the sudden malice he felt was so clear that it still made his heart race when he thought about it. 

If it wasn't someone from Skypiea, could it be someone from the Blue Sea? 

With this in mind, Enel commanded, "Send word to the Four Priests to thoroughly investigate any strangers on the island, especially those from the Blue Sea. If they are found, eliminate them immediately."

As Enel's order was passed down, Skypiea instantly went into lockdown. 

The residents of Angel Island became anxious, fearing they might accidentally provoke God during this tense time. 

Meanwhile, Byakuya instructed Lucci, Blueno, and Robin on what to do after his departure. 

"I'm going up there to recruit a new member for our organization." 

"So, after you replenish the supplies on the island, if I'm not back, wait for me. After all, this new member is quite strong and has a nasty temper." 

"I don't know how long it'll take to subdue him."

"I just hope I don't come back with only a corpse. That would be a waste of time," Byakuya said casually. 

Hearing Byakuya speak so casually about such matters, Lucci and Blueno had mixed feelings. 

Having both been beaten by Byakuya before, they were somewhat used to his blunt speaking. 

However, Robin, who had only recently joined the organization, was still adjusting to Byakuya's manner of speech. 

Recruiting a new member? Why does that involve fighting? And fighting until they submit? If they don't submit, you'll just bring back a corpse? 

Is this really how you recruit allies? And can someone with this attitude even be considered a "good guy"?

Recalling how Byakuya had once told her that the goal of the 'Yoru' organization was world peace, Robin felt she had finally figured out what he meant. 

The world will naturally be at peace if you kill all the troublemakers. Byakuya knew what Robin was thinking, so he gave her a thumbs up internally.

He'd think, 'As expected of you, Robin. You've grasped my intentions just a few days after joining the organization.'

'Once our group grows, I'll make you the vice leader.'

As Byakuya was about to leave, Lucci asked, "Byakuya-sama, did you say you were going up to find a new member?" 

Blueno pondered and asked, "Is this new member a bird? Do you need to find it in the sky?" Blueno was thinking of Morgans, the bird-like News Coo. 

Byakuya sighed in exasperation, already feeling speechless about these two simpletons. 

Robin, however, had a clue and asked, "Byakuya, when you say 'up there,' do you mean Skypiea?"

"Exactly, Skypiea." Byakuya nodded. It seemed that having someone with knowledge in the organization was indeed helpful. 

Byakuya then turned to Lucci and Blueno and scolded, "Look, Robin just joined 'Yoru,' and she's already more informed than you two." 

"You should spend more time reading and training to improve your strength instead of standing around like idiots, playing with iron balls." 

"Do you think that'll make you stronger?"

Saying this, Byakuya took the iron balls from their hands and crushed them into powder with a single squeeze. 

Although both Lucci and Blueno wanted to retort, "We only did it because we saw you doing it," 

Their instincts warned them that they would end up like crushed iron balls if they dared say another word. 

After reprimanding them, Byakuya rose into the sky. Unlike before, when he used "Geppo" (Moonwalk) to propel himself with repeated kicks in the air, he didn't need to move at all this time. 

By enveloping himself with telekinesis, he could fly effortlessly, and his speed was not only on par with but surpassed that of Geppo.

Lucci quickly noticed the change in Byakuya's flight method, and his mind was blown. 

Could it be that Byakuya-sama had grown even stronger during this time? 

"Hahaha, this is amazing!" Byakuya exclaimed, pushing his telekinesis to the limit. He turned himself into a streak of light as he shot toward the clouds above.

Amazon, the elderly gatekeeper of Heaven's Gate of Skypiea, collected the entry fee from Blue Sea dwellers coming to Skypiea. 

However, recently, things have changed. 

For some reason, God had decreed that any Blue Sea dwellers must be reported to the Four Priests immediately.

Because of this, her role as the gatekeeper at Heaven's Gate became even more critical. 

She had to monitor anyone arriving from the Blue Sea closely. 

As Amazon Granny was focused on her task, a sudden gust of wind swept past her so fast that it left a clear trace in the cloud sea. 

"Huh? Where did this wind come from?" she wondered, surprised by the dispersed clouds.

Upon arriving at Skypiea, Byakuya was well aware of Enel's abilities. 

Enel could combine the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit with Kenbunshoku Haki, allowing him to monitor the entire island by listening to people's conversations. 

But Byakuya was prepared for this and released his own Kenbunshoku Haki, interfering with Enel's "Mantra" (Kenbunshoku Haki) and preventing Enel from detecting his presence.

Skypiea, located over 10,000 meters above sea level, has an extremely thin atmosphere. 

Most people would likely suffer from oxygen deprivation, leading to weakness and significantly reduced strength. 

But for Byakuya, this environment posed no challenge at all. 

After all, Saitama could fight in the vacuum of space without air, and Byakuya, who was almost half as strong as Saitama, found no difference between the thin air of Skypiea and the conditions of the Blue Sea.

Relying on his hazy memories, Byakuya judged that to his right was Angel Island, home to the residents of Skypiea, while Enel's God's Shrine lay to his left. 

Wasting no time, Byakuya sped off in the confirmed direction.

At that moment, Enel pondered why the recent searches had yielded no results while his unease grew stronger. 

However, Enel reassured himself, thinking, "I am a god, and my power is unrivaled in this world. 

Even if someone comes to cause trouble, I can just fry them to a crisp with lightning. What's there to worry about?" 

With this realization, Enel felt much better and even thought he could have an extra bowl of rice for lunch.

As Enel was about to order more food for lunch, the tightly closed doors of his palace suddenly vanished before his eyes. 

At the entrance stood a mysterious figure, clad in a black robe and wearing a mask, muttering, 

"What a wasteful person, using gold to build doors and furniture. Doesn't know the meaning of saving at all."

Notably, Byakuya had once captured the "CP9" to save a few billion Berries on ship repairs. 

He even kidnaps Iceburg and Franky, scaring them half to death just to achieve his goal of saving money. 

And now, seeing Enel using gold worth billions of Berries to make furniture, how could Byakuya possibly hold back? 

He immediately stored any gold in his system space, knowing that once he returned to the Sabaody Archipelago, this gold could be exchanged for a fortune in Berries.

Enel was shocked to see this mysterious figure suddenly appear in his palace without his "Mantra" giving him any warning. 

Since Enel developed his "Mantra," this was the first time he had experienced it failing. 

But before Enel could look at the intruder, he noticed all the carefully crafted golden furniture disappearing, one piece after another. 

In the blink of an eye, everything in the God's Shrine had been taken, except for the chair Enel had just been sitting on.

"Who are you to dare trespass in the palace of a god?" Enel roared, unable to tolerate this any longer. 

He swung his golden staff, unleashing a bolt of dark purple lightning that crackled like a roaring thunder dragon, charging toward Byakuya. 

But Byakuya paid no attention to Enel's attack, casually waving his right hand as if swatting away a fly. 

The once-imposing thunder dragon instantly dissipated into nothingness.

Enel furrowed his brow, realizing that this intruder was extremely powerful. 

Just as Enel was about to demand the mysterious figure's intentions, he heard him say, 

"I didn't expect the entire palace to be made of gold. In that case, I guess I'll just take it all."

Damn it, he's going to wipe out my entire base! What's the point in talking now? I've got to fight!
