God Ganford clapped his hands, and a group of sweet-looking dancing girls took to the stage.
These native inhabitants of Angel Island share a common feature: headdresses woven from hair and shaped like tentacles, and two white feathers worn on their backs as decorations, which are not natural wings. These young dancing girls, in the prime of their youth, wear one-piece dresses embroidered with interlocking patterns.
As graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming.
The autumn chrysanthemums are glorious and the spring pines are luxuriant.
It is like a light cloud covering the moon, and like snowflakes floating in the wind.
Jonathan put down his knife and fork, leaned close to Yang Ming's ear and whispered:
"Captain, it seems like the manager of this floating island isn't very welcoming to us. He might even be trying to get rid of us."
"We are, after all, the navy, and we have come with powerful ships and cannons. We are like a dragon crossing the river. I personally suspect that Ganful, the administrator of the Sky Island, is not sure what our intentions are. Out of a sense of ownership, he naturally does not want us to stay here for a long time. He is afraid that we are like Enel from the small Sky Island Birka, who wants to seize power from him and occupy this divine kingdom."
"Your observations remain as sharp as ever."
Yang Ming chuckled softly, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
He smiled and toasted God Ganford across the distance, while whispering to Jonathan that they should pay attention to their daily diet.
Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.
No one knows whether God Ganful, in order to protect his own little corner of the world, would repay kindness with enmity and poison the food.
This is not Yang Ming's malicious speculation, but a judgment on God Ganford based on the original work and his recent contact with him.
In the original story, after the Straw Hat Pirates saved Skypiea, God Gan Fall treated them to a feast, because he knew very well that Luffy and his crew, though called pirates, were actually a group of adventurers who wouldn't stay on Skypiea for long.
After Luffy and his crew left Skypiea, the Shandians, led by the Demon Wyper, were recruited by the god Gan Fall and became members of the God's Guard, ostensibly to protect the safety of the god and the chieftain.
This ending seems perfect, a win-win situation for all parties.
But there's a chilling detail in this.
The Shandya people, led by the War Demon Vepa, have been fighting for over four hundred years with the aim of reclaiming Shandora and returning to their ancestral land.
But in the end, they seemed to have forgotten their original intention.
Despite the promise of the god Ganfor, some of the Shandians were allowed to live on Shandora, but they had no land ownership, not even the right to use the land; instead, they were forced to work for others for free!
It's important to understand that at that time, God Ganford was essentially a lone commander with no one under his command.
In other words, in the original work, the only true beneficiary was God Ganford.
As for the Straw Hat Pirates?
They were given only some gold and then happily returned to Qinghai.
Without a doubt, like King Riku, God Ganfor presents a benevolent and approachable image of loving his people, but in reality, he is just a shrewd politician with a well-thought-out plan, making him very deceptive.
This explains why God Ganford behaved at the banquet today.
Having lived in this world for several years, Yang Ming naturally understands that this is not a fairy tale world, but a real and cruel world where everyone has flesh and blood and their own interests and demands.
Among the dancing girls, a blonde girl frequently glanced at the naval officers and soldiers.
"Is he the benefactor who led this navy to save the Kingdom of God?"
"So young!"
Connie wore two ponytails, and her high-necked mini dress accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure. Her body was perfectly proportioned, neither too much nor too little flesh, about the size of a palm.
Having spent years playing the harp on Angel Beach, Connie possesses an intellectual and artistic temperament unlike anyone else. Slender yet graceful, she moves with a light and agile gait, accompanied by a dance march, with angel wings fluttering behind her, creating a unique and captivating scene.
When the music ended, God Ganford beckoned Connie to him and whispered something in her ear.
Encouraged greatly, the blonde girl immediately mustered her courage, walked to Yang Ming's table, bowed 90 degrees to the group, and said:
"Thank you all so much for your help. If it weren't for your timely arrival, my whole family would probably have been killed by the enemy."
"I have a favor to ask. My father is currently trapped on the small sky island of Bika. Could you kind souls please lend him your help?"
The girl was so pitiful that she evoked pity in everyone who saw her.
Yang Ming glanced meaningfully at Gan Fu'er, knowing in his heart that the other party was secretly pushing things along.
They couldn't wait even a minute longer and wanted to get rid of them.
Furthermore, if we were to speculate maliciously, God Ganford might even harbor a sliver of hope that they would fight Enel to a standstill, so that he could reap the benefits.
This was exactly what Yang Ming wanted.
Yang Ming could take this opportunity to win over people on the sky island in order to advance his next plan and complete the puzzle of the whole plan.
"When faced with a difficult choice, why not toss a coin?" Yang Ming took a coin out of his pocket, his thumb crackling with electricity. With a flick of his finger, the coin shot into the air, spinning rapidly. "It's not about relying on luck to help you make a choice, but because the moment the coin is tossed into the air and begins to spin, you'll suddenly understand what you want."
The coin landed on the back of Yang Ming's hand, facing forward, with the words "Justice" engraved on it in large letters.
In a daze, Conis and the other Sky Island natives seemed to understand something.
Yang Mingteng stood up abruptly, his whole body enveloped in electric arcs. Stimulated by the current, he flew away as fast as he could.
Seeing this scene, Connie clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes sparkling like starlight.
"The electric light dancing at your fingertips is my undying faith in this life."
Chapter 124 Enel, let's try a shot from A Certain Scientific Railgun!
On the vast white sea, more than 10,000 meters above sea level, accompanied by the sound of thunder and hissing, a small figure flew through the air like a roc spreading its wings, each step it took creating ripples in the white sea.
Strands of electric arcs coiled around Yang Ming's body, stimulating his muscles from top to bottom. This increased his life energy, improved the absorption of energy by cell membranes, adjusted the body's electrical potential balance, activated and enhanced various enzymes, thereby strengthening metabolism and energy metabolism. This activated nerve and muscle tissue, resulting in extraordinary strength and speed.
Everything exists in balance, and most people cannot withstand such strong electrical stimulation.
If an ordinary person is exposed to strong electrical stimulation for a long time, it will lead to decreased muscle function, soft tissue damage, and even muscle atrophy, which will be difficult to recover to its original state through medical means.
Only Yang Ming, with his various passive skills, had the confidence to do this, making it as easy and comfortable as drinking water and eating, without worrying about any terrible aftereffects.
The frigid air, tens of degrees below zero Celsius, was as cold as a knife. As the howling wind roared in Yang Ming's ears, a system notification followed immediately.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from A Certain Scientific Railgun. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"
A lottery wheel slowly appeared, offering two types of prizes: superpowers and summoned characters.
Superpowers: Vector manipulation, unreal matter, railgun...
Summoned characters: Accelerator, Misaka Mikoto...
[Railgun]: It can freely manipulate billion-volt high-voltage current, electromagnetic waves, and magnetic force.
The superpower of the Railgun was integrated into Yang Ming's body, and it quickly resonated deeply with the four abilities of the Myriad Realms Divine Power - Wind and Thunder Power, Thunder Dragon Slayer Crystal, Thunderous Might, and Rising Thunder.
Yang Ming could sense that his control over Thunder was now probably no less than Enel's, and in some ways, he might even be a level above him.
This is not Yang Ming's wild claim, but a fact.
On the vast white sea at an altitude of over 10,000 meters, it is difficult to discern the length of a distance.
Yang Ming didn't know how far he had run, but the outline of the small sky island of Bika gradually appeared in front of him.
Similar to Angel Island, the small sky island of Pika sits atop the island clouds, with ancient villages scattered across it in a charmingly irregular pattern.
With the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Yang Ming was able to see the scenery a kilometer away and even clearly see the zombie-like residents on the island.
Since taking control of the small sky island of Birka, Enel has implemented a series of brutal measures, the most notorious of which is the establishment of 11 levels of crimes, with the higher the crime level, the more severe the punishment.
Crime Level 1: Killing a priest will be executed by the gods.
Crime Level 2: Attacking the White Berets is a serious offense and will be punished with divine trials.
Crime Level 3: Talking about God behind his back, his tongue will be pulled out, his skin peeled off, and he will be thrown into a fishpond.
Crime Level 4: Run out of the Sky Island, be torn to pieces.
Crime Level 5: Obstructing official business, punished by being placed on a cloud and left to drift.
Crime Level 6: Environmental destruction, hanging from a street lamp and left to die.
Crime Level 7: Intimidation, punishable by slapping a thousand times and imprisonment for life.
Crime level 8: Theft, resulting in the amputation of one hand and life imprisonment.
Crime Level 9: Hunting rare animals, resulting in muscle cramps, broken legs, and life imprisonment.
Crime Level 10: Damaging public property, resulting in the confiscation of all family assets.
Crime Level 11: Illegal entry into the country without paying fees, fine of 10 times the amount, original amount not included.
The saying goes well.
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears, but then they stab each other in the back.
Enel was truly ruthless towards the people of his hometown, Birka, the little sky island. It wasn't just stabbing them in the back; it was like grinding them repeatedly into the ground without allowing them any resistance.
You can admire Enel's strength, but you cannot praise Enel's character.
The small sky island of Birka was far smaller and less populated than the Kingdom of God. It's no wonder that in the original story, it was destroyed by Enel himself within a few years. He then transplanted this entire cruel order to the Kingdom of God, letting the residents of Angel Island experience what it's like to be worse than dead.
All the inhabitants of the Sky Island: "Listen to me, thank you, because you bring warmth to all four seasons!"
Dark clouds loomed over the small sky island of Bika, mirroring the oppressive atmosphere that permeated the lives of its inhabitants.
As residents walked through the streets and alleys, they didn't dare to greet each other as usual when they encountered acquaintances. They would simply nod to each other and not say much, for fear that they might accidentally let something slip and incur the punishment of the capricious god in the heavens.
Yang Ming could see the figure lurking in the dark clouds from afar.
Enel sat cross-legged amidst the lightning-streaked clouds, the flickering lightning highlighting his handsome face with an air of supreme majesty. One hand rested on his slightly pointed chin, his head tilted slightly to one side, while the other hand cleaned his ear. His posture appeared languid, but in reality, his piercing eyes were already fixed on Yang Ming, who had traveled from afar.
Gently flicking away the filth from his fingertips, Enel yawned, his eyes gleaming with a majestic lightning that stung the eyes of onlookers, and his voice, though not angry, resounded through the heavens.
"Boy, is it you who killed one of my priests and then dared to provoke me?"
In what appeared to be a casual conversation, Enel had already unleashed the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and his Mind Field technique, spreading it outwards in a grid-like pattern invisible to the naked eye, completely enveloping the surrounding area.
Enel is a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, who can move at lightning speed through electrical conductors and air.
In terms of speed, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is ultimately inferior to the Glint-Glint Fruit, which reaches speeds between 340 meters and 1000 kilometers per second.
The speed of light reaches 30 kilometers per second.
Besides its superior speed, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit also possesses considerable offensive capabilities. It can not only release high-voltage electricity directly, but also generate high temperatures through electrical heating to kill enemies.
Since obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel has developed it to a high level. By generating electrical waves through electricity and combining them with his Observation Haki (also known as Mind Network), he can enhance his sensory abilities and even hear the thoughts of others.
