Chapter 57: God's Judgement

The special life body left by Luo Ning has a certain combat power. Although not very strong, it can easily deal with the priest and his subordinates. Additionally, there's a very special place that acts as a lightning rod.

Thunder and lightning can be exported from there, and Luo Ning isn't sure if Enel will directly blast them with a thunderbolt. It's better to be prepared.

At this moment, he and Nami arrive directly at the so-called Island of Gods.

"Why is the land here completely different from other places?" Nami asks with some doubt, though the land here seems to have a similar ecological environment to the island below.

"This was originally part of Gaya Island, but it was washed up directly by a powerful current" Luo Ning explains, leaving Nami dumbfounded.

"How is that possible? How much current and impact force would it take to directly wash up part of an island?!" Nami exclaims, unable to believe what she's heard.

"It's a wonder of the world," Luo Ning says, shaking his head. "It truly is incredible that even such a large island could be pushed up." As his words fall, a thunderbolt suddenly strikes from the sky, targeting the two of them.

"Thunder directly?"

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment. Didn't Enel usually let his underlings handle it first? Why did he do it himself this time? Was it because he was flying in the sky?

Thunder fell, but Luo Ning unleashed his Reiatsu directly. The Reiatsu surged upwards, blasting the thunder away completely.

"Why did it suddenly thunder?!"

Nami was startled. To her dismay, the thunder was still aimed at her and Luo Ning.

"This is my goal this time. The user of the Thunder Fruit has an ability that would be very suitable for you."

Luo Ning's words stunned Nami for a moment.

"I remember that once a Devil Fruit is eaten by someone, if you want to get it again, the holder needs to die, and the Devil Fruit won't appear immediately. How do you plan to obtain it?"

Nami froze for a moment, her expression turning serious. First, she too understood the mechanics of Devil Fruits, having learned about them in Impel Down. Obtaining a fruit was a difficult feat.

Second, she didn't want Luo Ning to kill people just because a Devil Fruit seemed like a good fit for her. She wouldn't condone such actions.

"I know you'll have reservations, but you don't have to feel guilty about this guy. Enel isn't the true god of Sky Island."

"The real god was named Gan Fall. His rule was one of stability, order, and he was beloved by the people."

"The current god, named Enel, began ruling brutally after he ate the Thunder Fruit."

"If you ask the Skypieans and those who were washed ashore, what kind of existence is Enel?" Luo Ning said, shaking his head. "It's estimated that the people of Sky Island would want to kill Enel."

Enel is a tyrannical ruler, to put it bluntly. He has a bad temper. But this can't be blamed on Enel alone. After all, the previous Enel was not very popular and was even discriminated against in various ways. Therefore, Enel can't be solely blamed for developing such a warped personality.

Of course, it's true that Enel has a cruel heart. After eating the Thunder Fruit, he regarded himself as a god.

In fact, Enel himself knew that so-called gods were just powerful people, but he was completely immersed in the self-made fantasy.

Always thinking of himself as a real god, Enel's character is also very unpleasant, basically hated by all Skypieans.

When a god is reduced to this level, intoxicated by his own power, Enel even went so far as to destroy his own hometown back then.

Luo Ning won't say much about this; he knows the futility of persuading others to be kind without their own hard-won efforts.

But after letting Nami know this, she doesn't feel any guilt.

In fact, their natures can be compared. Nami's village was enslaved by Arlong and others. Afterward, Nami not only let Luo Ning arrested Arlong and his crew, but also destroyed the entire Fishman Island in the process.

This is a case where despite their similar experiences, Nami's nature wouldn't allow her to do something like Enel.

Luo Ning himself likely wouldn't be able to either, but he wouldn't tolerate being mistreated.

Of course, this is speculation without experiencing Enel's situation directly, so Luo Ning remains silent. However, Enel is his target, and he's determined to act.

He only explained this to Nami to alleviate her potential guilt, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered.

Nami also fell silent after hearing about Enel. Having endured similar hardships, she still believed she couldn't reach Enel's level of madness. Silence, then, was her natural response.

"Enel, come out!"

Luo Ning yelled towards the sky. He knew Enel could hear him. With his Haki observation and extensive electromagnetic range, Enel could hear the entirety of Sky Island, and even read minds through his so-called "heart network."
