"Whoosh..." The sound of something cutting through the air whistled.

The massive warship, Ark Maxim, sped past over the vast White Sea.

"Are we there yet?" Cavendish stood at the bow, looking ahead through a spyglass, somewhat bored.

"Just wait patiently. According to the Log Pose's direction when we were below, it was pointing straight up, which means it won't be far..." "Raging Tiger" Bao Li Si said lightly, sitting to the side with his arms crossed.

"Indeed!" Enel nodded. The direction of the Log Pose shouldn't be wrong.

"Rumble..." Just then, the sky suddenly turned pale, illuminating the entire space. A dazzling, colossal pillar of lightning, too bright to look at directly, descended from the heavens, striking down fiercely!

"What is that!?"

"That's too exaggerated..."

Cavendish, Law, and the others couldn't help but show drastic changes in expression, somewhat shocked and bewildered.

"Roar——" The roar was like thunder. "Raging Tiger" Bao Li Si suddenly leaped up, directly transforming into his human-beast form and rushing into the sky!

"Beast Wave Palm!" A pair of sharp claws, turning pitch black, struck out fiercely.

Thwump! The air was instantly compressed and vibrated! A shockwave visible to the naked eye shot out, colliding head-on with that terrifying pillar of lightning!

"Boom boom..." A deafening roar, the sound shaking the heavens! A powerful airflow directly blasted outwards, causing many Germa soldiers to nearly lose their footing. The surrounding flowers and plants were devastated beyond recognition.

"Crackle..." Halfway up in the sky, pale white lightning intertwined. Countless arcs of electricity flickered wildly, unstable, before finally, gradually dissipating.

"This is... Rokushiki Ōgi: Rokuogan!?" Ah Jin couldn't help but be somewhat surprised. This move undoubtedly bore some resemblance to Rokuogan. But he quickly understood. As a former Fifth Division Commander of the Flying Pirates and an awakened Zoan ability user, with terrifyingly strong power, how could he not have his own techniques?

"Hmph..." "Raging Tiger" Bao Li Si landed. Looking at the azure sky that had returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but frown: "I remember Skypiea shouldn't have such bizarre weather, especially not in the first half of the Grand Line..."

"You mean, the attack just now was man-made?" Enel scanned the vast white surroundings. There was no abnormality at all, somewhat puzzled: "But there's no one around!"

"And, how can someone control natural lightning?" Cavendish found it somewhat hard to believe. That terrifying pillar of lightning just now still left him with lingering fear. If he had been hit by it, with his current strength, it would be a miracle if he survived.

"No, it was indeed man-made!" Ichiji's face was calm as he walked out from the castle. His aura had subtly changed, but Iblis, who seemed no different, followed behind him, also showing some surprise. From the moment she ate the Mythical Zoan: Nekomata Form fruit, she was destined to no longer be the insignificant maid she once was.

"Ordinary ability users perhaps can't directly control natural lightning..." Gazing at the azure sky, Ichiji said lightly, "But if it's the Rumble-Rumble Fruit of the Logia type, then it's entirely possible." He naturally knew that powerhouses like Big Mom and Dragon the Revolutionary could also manipulate natural lightning through their abilities, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Rumble-Rumble Fruit?" Ah Jin, Bao Li Si, and the others were all startled.

If a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit truly existed, it would absolutely be one of the top-tier Devil Fruits. This point was beyond doubt! Although they had never heard of this kind of Logia ability, no matter how one thought about it, natural lightning couldn't possibly be inferior to things like magma.

"Your Highness, could this be our 'target'?" Enel asked, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"No need to look. If there are no surprises, he is definitely not within our line of sight..." Ichiji didn't answer directly but said pointedly, "The attack just now should have been launched from some island!" He knew Enel was very likely monitoring this place. This was also one of the terrifying aspects of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; the induction of electric waves – even a powerhouse like him hadn't detected anything unusual. If he hadn't already eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, he would absolutely not give up such an ability easily.

To be honest, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's attraction to him was no less than that of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which was hailed as the strongest Paramecia. Especially since it granted the user speed no less than that of the Glint-Glint Fruit. Combined with the abilities of the Dark-Dark Fruit, even Whitebeard would have to retreat. Once touched and unable to use abilities, a direct release of the strongest electrical current shock – even a body fully covered in Haki might not necessarily withstand it.

However, this was just a thought. Two Logias together, if any conflict arose, it would undoubtedly be courting death.

"...What!?"

"Within a radius of several li, there can't possibly be an island. That is to say..."

"Impossible, right?"

Everyone present was somewhat stunned. Even the widely experienced "Raging Tiger" Bao Li Si couldn't help but show a look of disbelief. At such a great distance, how strong would one's Observation Haki need to be to lock onto an enemy?

...

"Not only did he withstand God's Judgment, but he also has some understanding of my abilities. These guys are not simple..." Far away on God's Island, Jaya, Enel lowered his right hand, somewhat astonished.

"Yahaha (Good nephew) hahaha~~"

"I wonder how much fun you can bring me..." Cupping his chin, Enel suddenly burst out laughing. Having always considered himself a god, Enel certainly wouldn't be afraid of a few mere invaders.

"Lord Enel..." Four figures dressed in various attires walked into the palace, showing some respect and reverence. The man in the lead spoke first: "Shall we go and deal with those fellows?"

"Hmm..." Enel directly picked up a red apple and took a bite. Looking at the four before him, Enel's eyes held a hint of playfulness and disdain. Compared to those invaders just now, he suddenly realized that these few pieces of trash under him were too weak. Which of these Great Priests could withstand a single blow from him? Perhaps, it was time to replace them with a few stronger priests!

"Alright, you four go together!"
