------------------------------

Brontes found himself enveloped in a wave of astonishment as he traversed the expanse of Sky Island.

It was not the sheer beauty or the mystery of the island that caught him off guard but the discovery of dense electromagnetic forces hiding within its heart.

To his surprise, these forces resonated almost perfectly with his Observation Haki, creating an echo that mirrored the unique abilities granted to him by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

This synergy had the potential to unlock what he called Super Observation Haki, a power he hadn't yet had to call upon because the island itself buzzed with a similar energy.

What baffled him even more was whether this occurrence was natural to the Sky Island or an outcome of some artificial influence.

Were the electromagnetic fields part of the island's mysterious nature, or had someone implanted them there?

Determined to unravel this mystery, Brontes used his Observation Haki to comb through the island, seeking the source of these electromagnetic fields.

His search led him to a startling discovery — the source was a person, a fact that left his face locked in an expression of shock.

"How is that possible?" He wondered, the realization hit him hard. The source of the force wasn't just any person; it was someone he recognized, someone familiar.

Hidden away in a palace, guarded by thick vines, a man lay sleeping. Although Brontes couldn't discern the man's features clearly, he could sense his shape and the distinct aura emanating from him.

"Could it actually be him?" He pondered with growing intensity. He needed to know if this person was indeed who he suspected.

As the airship rose higher, drawing closer to the skies of Skypiea, Brontes found himself grappling with a whirlwind of thoughts.

The existence of such electromagnetic fields here and now – how could he make sense of it?

Such a phenomenon was supposed to be unique to those who possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power, a power that was currently his to wield.

So, how was it possible for another to wield such ability? The notion of a second Rumble-Rumble Fruit seemed outlandish, yet Brontes couldn't shake off his urgent need to discover the truth behind this situation.

Ascending amidst the white clouds that adorned the skies of Skypiea, a sight he hadn't beheld in a considerable time, Brontes knew he was on the edge of uncovering something amazing.

Brontes, having spent a significant amount of time in Skypiea, had grown somewhat weary of its sights. Yet, finding himself gazing upon those familiar clouds and landscapes once more stirred a sense of nostalgia and a whirlwind of emotions within him.

It was a reminder of days gone by, of adventures and challenges faced in the expanse of Sky Island.

He was aware that Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates had long since made their arrival at Skypiea.

However, Brontes wasn't interested in their journey. From his perspective, the current antics of the Straw Hat crew seemed trivial.

"Woosh!"

The airship soared higher, reaching an altitude of ten thousand meters, finally granting Brontes a complete view of Sky Island floating serene and majestic in the sky.

He observed that Sky Island was divided into two distinct sections. One part was familiar to him, reminiscent of the Sky Island he had encountered previously, bearing a striking resemblance in architectural style.

The other section, Skypiea, was enshrouded in dense vegetation, towering trees concealing whatever mysteries lay within its heart.

A colossal vine, originating from the center of the island and piercing the sky, caught Brontes's attention.

Instead of exploring this newly discovered Sky Island, Brontes directed the airship towards Skypiea.

...

Meanwhile, upon the island, chaos unfolded as battles erupted.

Nami, Zoro, and their ship were whisked away into the island's depths, while Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji ventured further in, engaging in ferocious combat with the priest Satori.

Satori was in punishing the intruders with the Ordeal of Balls.

...

As Brontes's airship approached Skypiea, he couldn't shake the feeling of being observed.

Someone was watching, though he remained blissfully unaware that Brontes was mirroring his vigilance. The gap between their Observation Haki abilities was palpable; Brontes's skill far surpassed that of his observer.

Upon entering the island, it didn't take long for Brontes to encounter hostility.

A man adorned in dark orange attire, complete with an aviator hat, and mounted upon a strange, giant bird, charged at him. In his hand, he wielded a knight's long spear, his intent clear as he charged at Brontes.

"Intruder! Where do you think you're going?!" He asked loudly, his voice echoing the tension that hung in the air.

The man in dark orange blocked Brontes' path, halting him in his tracks: "I am Sky Rider, Shura, the trial priest of the Ordeal of String." Shura said smiling at Brontes proudly.

"Seems I hit the mark. You're one of Enel's priests, right? Born in Skypiea?" Brontes remarked casually, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Perplexed by Brontes's knowledge, Shura's frown deepened.

He had thought that Brontes was an outsider from the Blue Sea, given the absence of wings typical of Skypieans. Yet, the stranger before him demonstrated an unexpected familiarity with Skypiea's inner workings.

"Tell me, the current God of Skypiea is Enel, isn't that right?" Brontes probed further, unfazed.

"How dare you to say God's name so arrogantly?! Your faith is doomed."

Shura's reaction was swift and aggressive. Without hesitation, he brandished a long spear and charged at Brontes atop his towering bird companion.

Brontes stood his ground, not evading the incoming attack. To Shura's disbelief, the spear struck Brontes but failed to pierce even his clothing, leaving Shura bewildered.

"W-What?!" Shura exclaimed, then gritted his teeth, grasping the long spear tightly.

"Boom!"

A sudden change occurred as the long spear glowed red, emitting intense heat. A concealed mechanism was at play, a powerful heater embedded within the weapon.

"Die you damn intruder!"

Fueled by rage, Shura thrust the spear once more at Brontes, aiming to end the encounter.

However, the outcome was not as expected. Though the spear seemingly pierced Brontes, Shura was met with a chilling sight that gripped him with fear and shock.

"How is this possible?!" He stammered in horror.

Reacting swiftly, Shura retreated, his loyal avian companion swooping in to whisk him away to safety.

Brontes, undeterred by the tumultuous turn of events, said with a knowing smile: "Looks like my guess was right after all. Enel, is the current God of Skypiea."

"How do you possess such detailed information about us?" Shura asked, his voice filled with shock and surprise.

"Well, I have spent some time here." Brontes responded calmly.

"You've been to Skypiea?" Shura's gaze bore into Brontes.

"About three decades back, I departed Skypiea." Brontes said plainly.

Shura's disbelief mounted as he said: "You're the one who brought down the God statue, stole the divine artifact, and killed the previous Head Priest!"

"It seems you know about it. Haha, that old man deserves to be killed; you should be happy that I killed, otherwise you wouldn't be standing where you are standing now. Anyway, I don't have time to play around with you, take me to Enel." Brontes stretched out his hand, and Shura froze in place.

"ZliZli!"

"Ah!"

In an instant, chaos erupted as the bird beneath Shura faltered and lightning ensnared him, leaving Shura writhing in agony.

"H-How... could you possibly possess the power of a God?" Shura managed to speak with difficulty as he laid on the ground.

"It seems my guess wasn't wrong. He must have obtained a substitute that gave Lightning Manipulation ability. It's strange, so much has changed and yet none of it could directly alter Enel's fate, why?" Brontes murmured to himself.

Enel's Mantra could cover the entire Skypiea. However, under Brontes's interference, he couldn't sense what was happening on Shura's side.

Enel had no idea what was going on, and he didn't even know that Shura had been captured by Brontes.

The airship kept moving forward, and since he was using his Observation Haki, he didn't have any trouble figuring out where to go.

As the airship climbed up the vines, a white object suddenly shot up from below.

"ZliZli!"

"Boom!"

Brontes quickly reacted, shooting a bolt of lightning from his feet towards the object. A loud explosion followed, splitting the white object in two.

Shura, lying on the airship, yelled out as a man on a big dog charged ahead: "Be careful he....."

"Trash." Ohm sneered at Shura before swiftly attacking.

Before Shura could warn him to be careful, Ohm leaped off the dog, his long sword twisting like a whip as he aimed it at Brontes.

Brontes, unimpressed, reached out and grabbed Ohm's sword. Ohm was shocked as his sword was taken from him, unable to pull it back.

"Boom!"

Without hesitation, Brontes pulled Ohm closer and delivered a solid punch to his face, making Ohm slump down next to Shura.

"We're going to meet your God togetherm" Brontes said, looking up at the white cloud in the sky, the home of the God of Skypiea.
