Chapter 507 Angry Enel

The Five Elders remained wary of Luke, as it seemed every time a QnA session commenced, Luke exposed secrets they wished to keep hidden. Yet, this time seemed different as they genuinely had no dealings with Sky Island, allowing them a rare moment to observe the QnA as mere spectators.

Despite this detachment, a lingering anxiety persisted; they feared Luke might reveal something unexpected that could destabilize the World Government's standing.

This was not the first time Luke had stirred trouble.

The incident at Fishman Island served as a prime example—the weapon Poseidon, which had been under their control, had unexpectedly escaped their grasp due to the revelations in a previous QnA.

The Elders were concerned that Luke might again disrupt their strategic advantage in Wano, but since the focus was on Sky Island—a region outside their influence—they hoped the ongoing situation in Wano would remain unaffected by this QnA. Relieved, they allowed themselves to exhale.

The live broadcast captivated audiences worldwide, from the seas to the skies.

On Sky Island, the locals were particularly attentive. Among the participants recognized on screen were familiar faces from Shandia. The revelation stunned not only the global viewers but even the Shandians residing in the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Look, Chief, Wyper and the others are there! They've been chosen for the QnA!" The Shandians gazed at the screen, a mix of shock and excitement washing over them.

The prospect of answering questions correctly held significant appeal, especially for the Shandians, who saw this as an opportunity to regain their homeland.

Meanwhile, on the sacred island of God, Upper Yard—homeland to the Shandians—Enel watched with a mix of interest and disdain. The former god driven out by Enel himself, Ganfall, was now a participant alongside the Shandians. Enel, aware of the disruptive potential of Luke's broadcasts, bristled at the notion of being the next target.

Despite his apathy towards concealing his despotic rule, the thought of being publicly challenged infuriated Enel. His rule was absolute, his actions unhidden—a display of divine power, not shame.

Enel's anger stemmed not from the exposure but from the audacity of Luke to challenge him, a god. If he knew Luke's whereabouts, retribution would have been swift.

As the QnA unfolded, Ganfall and the Shandian warriors—War Ghost Wyper, Warasi, Kamakiri, Braham, Genbo, and Raki—stood united yet tense. Their history was complex; Ganfall, once their ruler, now shared their goal against a common foe.

The Shandians, having battled for their homeland for centuries without success, saw the QnA as a beacon of hope. They knew the rules—answer correctly and be rewarded. Their eyes, filled with determination, stayed locked on Luke, ready to reclaim what was once theirs.

Luke addressed the eager participants and viewers, "Welcome to the Q&A Live Broadcast."

The session promised not only to reveal hidden tales and settle old scores but perhaps to reshape the very dynamics of power on Sky Island and beyond. The stakes were high, the audience captivated, and the participants ready to seize what might be a turning point in their long-standing struggle.
