Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

"That's amazing, Enel. I didn't expect you to actually develop a new technique."

Enel, standing in the crowd on the board, scratched his head sheepishly, but his eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

Today is the fifth day since Enel boarded the ship. Finally, Enel developed a new technique based on the Navy's Six Powers. Enel called this technique Lightning Finger Gun, which means lightning finger gun!

All Raleigh needs to do now is nod, which means that the task he gave Enel has been completed.

Raleigh had already heard Enel's voice and lazily came down from the second floor.

After yawning, he said:

Are you ready, Enel?

Enel's resolute face was filled with absolute confidence as he nodded firmly:

Lord Raleigh, please enlighten me.

Enel then struck a pose with his Raiden Gun, aiming it at Raleigh, who was standing still.

"A lightning bolt flashes in the sky, a finger gun strikes!"

After a loud shout, Enel suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a few pulsating electric currents in his place.

"My goodness, has Enel learned to shave again?"

"As expected of a monster personally recruited by Lord Raleigh, it's no surprise that he possesses such strength."

"However, even though Enel is strong, he is no match for Lord Raleigh."

The sailors on deck were discussing amongst themselves, and judging from their unanimous opinions, they did not think Enel would win the battle.

This was the soldiers' trust in Raleigh that had grown after numerous battles.

You learned how to shave so quickly? No wonder you're such a gifted monster.

Raleigh praised Enel's amazing talent, but his expression was the same as Borsalino's at the time.

They all had nonchalant expressions, yet they spoke of being afraid.

This is it~ this is it~

The electric current had already appeared around Raleigh, causing a slight numbness in his body.

"I've arrived, Lord Raleigh."

Enel appeared directly in front of Raleigh, a finger gleaming with dazzling light appearing on Raleigh's chest.

Try its power, Lord Raleigh.

The Thunder Finger Gun pierced Raleigh's chest, sending sparks flying.

Enel seemed to have foreseen what would happen after the attack. Although the attack was ineffective, a smile appeared on his face.

Lord Raleigh, this move is called Thunder Finger Gun, not because it simply applies electricity to the fingers, but because it possesses the speed of thunder.

Before Raleigh could reply, Enel's figure had vanished from sight.

At that moment, Enel appeared behind Raleigh and on both sides.

All three figures unleashed lightning-fast finger spears; an ordinary person facing such a situation would likely have already failed.

Because Enel's three figures were not entirely an illusion.

Although one of them was a phantom, the other two were Enel's true form and his clone.

Even with Enel's strength, if his clone's lightning spear were to strike Raleigh, it would still be extremely painful.

Faced with Enel's deadly move, Raleigh simply smiled contemptuously. Back in the East Blue, he had trained with Rat many times in this way, so Enel's illusion could not fool Raleigh, who was very familiar with this fighting style.

Raleigh instantly activated his Devil Fruit ability and Observation Haki to their maximum. Almost in the blink of an eye, Raleigh figured out that the one in the middle was an illusion.

Raleigh chose to let the first phantom attack go, and then raised his right hand high, covering his right fist with Armament Haki.

When faced with the second lightning clone, Raleigh showed no mercy. His iron fist, covered in Conqueror's Haki, pierced the air like lightning, unleashing a violent explosion.

"Fist Bone - Star Hammer"

Raleigh dodged the clone from the left and threw a heavy punch.

This punch carried immense power, striking the clone squarely in the abdomen.

The clone's back suddenly bulged, and part of it had already become elementalized.

After being sent flying by Raleigh's heavy punch, Enel's lightning clone could only lie on the deck and slowly dissipate.

Don't forget, Lord Raleigh has one more trick up his sleeve!

Alright, the last one on Raleigh's right is Enel's true form.

At this moment, he stopped pretending and unleashed the lightning with all his might, electrifying the entire deck.

Without saying a word, Gion jumped outside the battlefield between Raleigh and Enel.

He gripped the golden arhat tightly in his hand, as if ready to strike at any moment to prevent the two from accidentally injuring the onlookers in the heat of the moment during their fight.

"Alright, you lot, look how fast Enel walks. How long have you been learning the Six Powers of the Navy? Can you even master more than half of them?"

Gion's words pierced the hearts of the sailors on deck.

To be honest, almost none of the sailors who made it onto this ship were mediocre in talent.

Raleigh, now certain that the final attack was a physical entity, suddenly threw a punch.

A fist gleaming with an iron-black light, like steel, clashed with Enel's finger gun. You've been fooled, Lord Raleigh, the true form is here.

As Raleigh and the lightning clone exchanged blows, the real Enel suddenly appeared from behind the lightning clone.

This is the real killer move, Lord Raleigh.

The Thunder Finger Gun pierced the little girl's chest without any resistance, but caused a strange change in Enel's expression.

Enel, who should have been overjoyed, was now somewhat confused.

The reason is quite simple: Enel discovered that the Raleigh in front of him was not a physical entity either.

"When?"

Recalling the cold smile that had appeared on Raleigh's lips before the punch, Enel understood.

It turns out that Enel wasn't the only one who knew how to use clones; Raleigh was also very skilled at it.

"That's enough, Enel."

Raleigh's sexy, deep voice rang out on the deck. A gust of wind blew by, and Raleigh's figure appeared in front of Enel.

"To be honest, your idea is truly amazing. If you were facing an opponent whose Observation Haki is not as good as yours, they might not even discover your true form in the end."

"However, what I find unsatisfactory is that you've underutilized the Rumble-Rumble Fruit far too little."

In my opinion, combining the Finger Pistol and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit shouldn't have resulted in this outcome.

"That's how it should behave as a monarch."

Raleigh doesn't have the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so he uses the Hurricane-Hurricane Fruit's power.

Concentrate a large amount of wind into four fingers, then thrust at high speed at the wooden stakes on the deck.

boom!

With a deafening explosion that echoed across the deck, the wooden stakes, originally made of extremely hard wood, burst open from the middle.

The movement was so fast that Enel didn't even have time to lock his gaze on Raleigh.

This is what I expect from you.

Raleigh withdrew his right hand and turned to Enel.

Enel looked at the shattered wooden stakes, then at Raleigh, and lowered his head in utter submission.

"Lord Raleigh, please teach me this move, please!"

Looking at the green Enel in front of him, Raleigh felt a chill run down his spine. So this is what it feels like to teach someone.

The rewards I got from the system are really good to use.

That's right, what Raleigh just used was the signature technique of the Third Raikage, A, from Naruto.

Hell Thrust Four-Point Penetration Hand!

This is a move with astonishing penetrating power, and as the strength increases, the fingers evolve from four fingers to one finger.

Back then, it was the Hell Thrust, a move that could kill gods and Buddhas alike.

However, Raleigh didn't intend to waste time on this move, because the Hell Thrust he drew was a four-piece piercing attack.

We don't know when it will evolve into a fully-fledged hand technique.

Furthermore, his Devil Fruit ability isn't the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so it's not particularly well-suited to this move. "Thank you, Lord Raleigh. I'm going to practice now."

After receiving detailed training instructions from Raleigh, Enel left the board in high spirits.

He wants to optimize this move before starting formal combat practice.

After Enel left, Gion, who had been guarding him nearby, came over.

"Raleigh, according to the nautical chart, we should be able to reach the island inhabited by the Shandians this afternoon."

"Have you decided what to do?"

Raleigh touched his nose; he really hadn't given this much thought.

The battle between the Sky Island inhabitants and the Shandians may very well be a matter of fate.

All of this was so that the Sun God could be fully tempered; otherwise, why would a problem that had remained unsolved for hundreds of years be solved just when the Sun God happened to pass by the Sky Island?

But only someone with the reckless and ruthless nature of the sun god could make such a decision. At the top of the thick vines on the island of Apayado, the island of the gods...

A huge, gleaming golden clock stands silently here.

This is the legendary Shandora Bell.

In the past, when Shandora existed, this golden bell was one of Shandora's iconic items.

For four hundred years since Apayado was carried from the Blue Sea to the White Sea by the rising ocean currents, no one has ever dared to touch this bell.

Two golden pillars, each eight meters tall, support this structure, with the Shandora Bell in the center. From a global perspective, the Shandora Bell is a Poneglyph. From the perspective of the Skypiea inhabitants and the Shandians, the Shandora Bell represents the legendary songs of the island and the signal of a four-hundred-year war.

At this moment, standing beneath the Golden Bell of Shandora was a man dressed in a white robe, who had been standing there for a long time.

He reached out his hand many times, ready to ring the golden bell of Shandora, but he always stopped just before he was about to ring it.

The white-robed man was none other than Ganful, the god of the Sky Island inhabitants.

At this moment, he looked at the Shandora Golden Bell in front of him with a complex expression.

In fact, the Golden Bell of Shandora has existed in this place for the past four hundred years, but no god has ever been able to make up their minds to ring it.

Because once it is struck, there are only two possible outcomes: either both sides reach a consensus and completely end the four-hundred-year-old war.

Either the consensus between the two sides collapses, triggering a full-scale, all-out war that will continue until one of the two races is completely wiped out.

This is because of these two extreme outcomes, which led the gods of the Sky Island throughout history to not dare to ring the Golden Bell of Shandora, even if they wanted to negotiate with the Shandians.

The Shandians didn't dare to ring the Golden Bell of Shandora because in the 400 years of conflict, every race was scarred and had accumulated hundreds of years of deep-seated hatred.

If the two race leaders reach a consensus, then the hatred of the past four hundred years will be concentrated on these two people. After pondering for a moment, Ganford still dared not ring the Golden Bell of Shandora. Mr. Rory, will you do this?

In truth, Ganford himself was unsure, but he had no choice but to take the gamble.

Anyway, there's no other choice but to take a gamble.

The settlement of the Sandians.

There is a rugged, narrow path in the lush forest.

Two figures were walking on this path at that moment.

A tall, imposing man with a lazy expression on his face.

The other is a young boy who, despite his young age, is very curious about everything around him.

Lord Raleigh, how much longer until we reach the Shandian camp?

Enel suddenly asked a question.

Raleigh scratched his head, took out the map that Ganford had given him earlier from his pocket, glanced at it, and then put it away.

According to the location marked on the map, we should arrive in about twenty minutes by walking forward.

Hearing this, Enel shut his mouth and stopped complaining.

The two walked along the road for about 20 minutes.

Raleigh had barely caught a glimpse of human habitation when he sensed hostility. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sometime during the day, strangely dressed Shandians suddenly appeared in the forest.

They were agile and their attacks were swift, accurate, and ruthless.

The javelins thrown were all aimed at Raleigh's vital points, targeting his brow, heart, chest, and abdomen.

Besides Raleigh, Enel received the same treatment, but neither of them showed any sign of panic.

The reason is quite simple: both of them are Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

Such a simple physical attack can be easily dodged by simply transforming the body into an element.

However, unlike Enel, Raleigh did not choose to transform his body into an elemental form. Instead, he gently twisted his body a few times to dodge the incoming javelin. The other three javelins, unsurprisingly, pierced Enel's body.

Before the Shandians could even rejoice, they sensed something strange.

Despite having three javelins piercing three vital points in his body, Enel acted as if nothing had happened, chatting with another person. This incredible scene prompted the Shandians to pull out their rocket launchers and whack Enel a few times.
