Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"It actually exploded?" Usopp exclaimed in surprise.

"The survival rate here in the Trial of the Ball is ten percent. It would be good if even one of you survived," Daigo said with a smug smile.

However, his smile froze on his face the next second.

In the smoke and dust of the explosion, Nika's petite body rapidly expanded like an inflating balloon, transforming in the blink of an eye into a large, white raccoon with bulging muscles and blue electric arcs swirling around its body!

"Shut up, you fatso."

Nika glanced at Daigo with his blood-red eyes, then unleashed a simple and direct punch with his giant fist crackling with lightning.

boom!

Da Wu, along with the ball he was sitting on, was sent flying by this punch containing terrifying power. Like a cannonball, he crashed into the distant forest, his fate unknown, leaving only a charred fist mark and wisps of smoke in his wake.

"That's it?"

Usopp's mouth dropped open.

Zoro looked at Nika's transformed form, especially the crackling lightning, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "This is quite similar to Luffy's power, isn't it? Nika, would you like to have a fight?"

Nika rolled her eyes; she didn't want to do something so thankless.

"I have a few bottles of good wine."

“Then let’s go.” Nika turned her head and agreed.

Sanji looked displeased: "Why is it always this weirdo? Aren't there any pretty older female priestesses?"

Their commotion clearly attracted the attention of others.

Two other priests, hearing the explosion and commotion, rushed over and witnessed the final scene of Daigo being punched away by Nika.

One of them was a bald man with long hair, a serious expression, and holding a peculiar cloud sword.

The other man was a guy with a hairstyle that looked like spider legs and a frivolous expression.

"Oh? Looks like a decent swordsman has arrived." Zoro's gaze instantly locked onto the bald man wielding the sword, his fighting spirit rising. "Nika, we'll fight him later."

Nika has already asked Merry to find the wine that Sauron hid.

Whether or not to fight after the drinks are finished is entirely up to her!

Sanji glanced at the two men, his face full of annoyance: "As expected, there's not a single one worth looking at."

Chapter 156 You think you can grow bigger? I can too!

Meanwhile, in the core area of ​​the Land of Gods.

Enel, who had been thoroughly taught a lesson by Luffy's unleashed raging lightning, was sent flying backwards from the sky full of lightning like a kite with a broken string. His body was covered in charred wounds, with wisps of white smoke rising from many places, making him look extremely disheveled.

boom!

He crashed heavily onto a forest clearing, bounced up, and slammed into the trunk of a giant tree before finally coming to a stop.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of his internal organs, and looked up at the figure in the sky enveloped in white fiery clouds, like a thunder god descending to earth.

"Why am I still getting hit even when I'm in elemental form?!"

Enel is roaring.

Since obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and becoming the god of Skypiea, this was the first time he had suffered such a serious injury and felt the threat of death for the first time!

"I've already said I'm made of rubber." Luffy smiled slightly and said calmly, "Besides, even if I weren't made of rubber, it would be easy for me to hit you."

Have you ever seen the sun at four in the morning, God?

Do you really think I trained my Armament Haki for nothing?

To be fair, Enel was not weak, and his Rumble-Rumble Fruit was a top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit.

The problem is that he relies too much on his Devil Fruit powers, and his physical skills and Haki training are far behind. Even his so-called Mind Control is more for show than practical use.

Luffy not only completely outclasses Enel in terms of Devil Fruit power, but also completely surpasses him in physical combat and Haki!

Is this your source of confidence?

Enel glared fiercely at Luffy.

This guy is really troublesome.

His physical skills were overwhelmed, his Devil Fruit ability was countered, and although his Psychic Senses could predict Luffy's actions, Luffy's speed and strength made it difficult for him to dodge even if he did.

Damn it, he clearly had a backup plan!

The plan is to first evacuate and bring his own ark over. When that happens, he will have the power to destroy the entire sky island. Who can stop him?

Yes, it wasn't an escape, it was a strategic retreat.

However, Luffy's aura had already locked onto him, and running away would only expose a bigger flaw and lead to a faster death!

In this situation, Enel went completely insane!

"Straw Hat Kid, you think you're the only one who can grow bigger?!"

Enel let out a hysterical roar, pushing the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to its limit.

Rumble!

A terrifying power of lightning erupted from Enel's body. He increased the voltage to two hundred million volts, making his body gigantic, and eventually transformed into a lightning giant resembling Takemikazuchi!

The surrounding trees crumbled instantly under the stray lightning, turning into ashes!

Thor - Form!

A colossal lightning giant stood atop Apayado, its lightning bolts shooting from its hands into the clouds, causing the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky to churn violently, making it look like the end of the world was approaching.

Its enormous size and terrifying aura were clearly visible even to people far away on Angel Island, causing widespread panic.

The Lord of the Sky, who had retreated to a distance, saw the giant thunder god and quickly shrank back even further, his enormous head almost burying itself in the sea of ​​clouds.

We can't afford to mess with them, we really can't afford to mess with them.

"What is that?!"

Sanji, who was fighting the spider-haired priest Nirvana, was also drawn to the towering, earth-shattering lightning giant in the distance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You're asking for death!"

Nirvana seized the opportunity, unleashing a hurricane from the Spiral Shell beneath his feet, and swooped down, using the Spiral Shell on his arm to deliver a punch to Sanji!

"You? Don't make me laugh."

Sanji's eyes turned cold, and he snapped back to his senses. With a powerful leap, he pushed off the ground and soared into the air, his black leather shoes lashing out at his opponent like steel whips.

"It's no use, I've already seen through your moves!"

Nirvana used the Wind-Spitting Shell to nimbly twist his body in the air, narrowly avoiding Sanji's whip kick. At the same time, he spread out his other hand and sprayed out a sticky swamp cloud, covering Sanji's face.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Sanji neither dodged nor avoided, choosing to take the hit head-on!

He let the suffocating swamp cloud smear his face, and at the same time, he reached out and precisely grabbed the arm that Nirvana was attacking. Using the momentum of his fall, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick, slamming it hard into Nirvana's face.

boom!

Nirvana was struck as if by a battering ram, his entire body tumbling backward at an even faster speed, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a deep crater. He struggled to his feet, wiping the blood that kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and glared at Sanji, who had landed steadily: "Are you crazy? Using your face to take an attack?"

"In battle, you have to use any means necessary."

Sanji held his breath, raised his right leg and plunged it into the swamp cloud on his face. He stirred it a few times with a peculiar frequency and technique, then gently flicked it down, and the sticky swamp cloud was shaken off just like that.

"Your move is no longer effective against me."

Sanji let out a long breath and shook his feet.

It must be said that Nirvana's attack method is indeed troublesome, but as long as you master the technique of exerting force and the internal flow pattern, this thing is not impossible to shake off.

Sanji is quite confident in his footwork.

Meanwhile, Zoro's battle with Ohm, the priest of the Iron Trial, has also reached a fever pitch.

"I never imagined that someone could push Lord Enel to that extent."

"But that's all."

"I'll deal with you first."

Riding on the back of the giant dog Saint, Ohm pushed up his sunglasses, turned his gaze from the distant Thor giant to the man in front of him wielding three swords.

Ohm was very confident in Enel's strength.

"The fact that you're worth 100 points shows you have some ability. I'm different from people like you who barely qualify for 100; my score is because the maximum is only 100!"

"Iron Whip!"

Ohm let out a cold shout, his hand holding a cloud sword made of iron clouds.

The cloud sword, which could be long or short and was incredibly hard, was suddenly swung out and stabbed towards Zoro like a venomous snake!

Clang!

Zoro used all three swords, crossing them in front of him, to barely block the swift attack. However, the immense force still pushed him backward several meters, leaving two clear tracks on the ground with his feet.

"Not bad in terms of strength," Zoro commented, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"I am Ohm, the priest who presides over the Iron Trials. To date, my survival rate in the trials is zero!"

"As the strongest of the four high priests, it would be an honor for you to die by my hand."

Zoro is arrogant, but Ohm is even more so.

"So you're a priest." Zoro finally realized.

"Idiot, didn't I just introduce myself?!"

Enraged by his reaction, Ohm yelled and swung his Iron Cloud Sword again. The tip of the sword shot out as if it had a life of its own, aiming straight for Zoro's chest.

Zoro didn't actually care about Ohm's identity as a priest; he simply regarded Ohm as a swordsman worth fighting.

Your identity is not important.
