Chapter 41: Divine Punishment and God's Trial!

[The White Beret forces are the military of Skypiea, and they are also a group of people who obey Enel.]

[Upon learning that the Straw Hat Pirates didn't pay the entrance fee, they directly surrounded them...]

[This time, it was just a warning, and by paying ten times the entrance fee, they would be recognized as legal entrants.]

[However, facing the money-loving Nami... how could she pay it willingly?]

[Moreover, even if she wanted to pay, she had no money, as most of the money on the ship had been spent by Luffy, the glutton, on food. Where could she find extra money?]

[In an instant, before everyone could react, Nami, who hurriedly pulled Luffy and Zoro, took the lead in attacking!]

[This time... the Straw Hat Pirates had completely fallen out with Skypiea!]

["Pursue and capture the illegal intruders!"]

[With the angry roar of the White Beret captain, everyone instantly attacked Luffy and the others!]

[At this moment, Luffy and Zoro, who had been holding in their anger, were directly excited.]

[Although the White Beret forces were numerous and using unique Skypiea weapons, making Luffy and the others initially somewhat passive...]

[But the strength of both sides was not on the same level!]

[Facing these small fries, Luffy and the others easily defeated them all and prepared to sail away from this troublesome place...]

Fushia village!

"Wow..."

Luffy looked at the sky with a face full of longing, and the brightness in his eyes was clear to anyone.

Although he hadn't set sail yet, watching the thrilling adventures in the images had given Luffy deep anticipation for his future adventures...

Trustworthy companions, exciting adventures, and dedicated enemies – aren't these what he was pursuing?

Luffy became more curious about the subsequent adventures.

Did he and his friends leave Skypiea, or continue exploring there?

What kind of battle would erupt when they met the so-called God of Skypiea?

Or...

When would he finally meet those companions in the images?

If he weren't looking forward to the next adventure in the images, wanting to watch it thoroughly...

Luffy couldn't wait to set sail immediately, find his companions, and experience his adventure!

In contrast to Luffy's excited and anticipating expression...

At the same time, behind him, the villagers like Dadan and Makino were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Skypiea, which existed only in legends, was already enough to shock them.

Not to mention being surrounded by the forces there, if they went there, they would probably be scared out of their wits.

But Luffy was not afraid at all, and even fought them directly!

Goodness... he's such a troublemaker!

Luffy is indeed Luffy...

[Just as everyone was about to board the ship and leave, an unexpected change... happened again!]

[Boom!]

[The Going Merry hadn't started yet, but it began to speed forward on its own, leaving Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji confused.]

["Huh? Why did Nami and the others set sail without waiting for us?"]

[However, not only were Sanji and the others confused, but even Nami, Zoro, and Robin on the ship were also baffled.]

[They hadn't started the ship yet, so how did it start moving!?]

[At this moment, everyone finally saw that at the bottom of the Going Merry, there was an enormous lobster pulling the entire ship forward at a breakneck speed. Behind it, countless Sky Island creatures, resembling Sea Kings, were following.]

[The Sky Island elder, who was with Luffy and the others, was shocked when he saw this.]

["This is... Enel's messenger, the Divine Punishment, the Trial of the Gods has begun!"]

[Upon hearing this, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp were all baffled.]

["The Trial of the Gods, Divine Punishment... What are those? Does this mean Nami, Zoro, and the others have to go through this trial and punishment?"]

[The Sky Island elder, with a heavy heart, looked at Luffy and said, "No, it's not the people on the ship who will face the trial and punishment, but... the three of you!"]

["The three of us!?"]

[Hearing this, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp were even more confused...]

At the Revolutionary Army's headquarters...

"Divine Punishment?"

"The Trial of the Gods!?"

Sabo and the others looked up at the sky, their expressions changing.

The Straw Hat crew had just defeated the White Beret troops, and now the punishment had immediately begun.

Could it be true that, as previously mentioned, Enel, the so-called god, had been watching over the entire Sky Island all along?

Monitoring the every move of the Straw Hat Pirates?

At this thought, even the many high-ranking officers of the Revolutionary Army couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

This enemy... was truly terrifying!

Without revealing his true identity, merely hiding in the shadows, he could control everything.

Could Luffy and the others really have the power to fight such an enemy?

The high-ranking officers couldn't help but turn their worried and tense gazes toward the room not far away.

For that was where Dragon was located.

By now, they knew that Luffy's father was their leader.

This revelation had shocked everyone!

If it weren't for the live broadcast, they would never have known that their leader's son was none other than Luffy...

At the same time, Dragon sat in the room, looking up at the sky through a small window.

His expression was no better.

The clenched fist was enough to prove how worried he was about his son's safety.

"Luffy..."

...
