He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

The tone of this world is black.

After so much time, Gu Xin already knew this principle.

He had been to Treasure Island, where the navy colluded with pirates to lure and capture civilians.

I also visited Drum Island, where the king ruled with tyranny and the people were not allowed to have doctors, leaving them with nowhere to turn.

He also visited Alabasta, where, for his own selfish reasons, he used prohibited substances to cause a prolonged drought in a superpower, resulting in the deaths of millions.

Whenever he saw such a tragic scene, he would sigh inwardly.

What a terrible world.

Although I knew the plot and was somewhat prepared, the original work didn't depict many details.

When he witnessed people on the verge of death, the impact was amplified countless times.

The Sky Island was no different from any other place I had been before.

Although we were at an altitude of 10,000 meters, there was still a sense of oppression.

Enel is powerful and tyrannical, using his "psychic network" to monitor everyone and keep track of their every move.

If anyone does not meet his expectations, they will face certain death, or even be implicated and killed in large numbers.

That charred corpse was the fate of those who defied the law.

Enel, you deserve to die! Gushin thought to himself.

At this moment, not only Guxin was amazed, but everyone else was also quite shocked.

Chopper bit his lip hard, looking at Conis, who was slumped on the ground with tears streaming down her face, and then at the Skypiea people around him with fear on their faces... his heart felt even worse.

Oh, I see!

They're not afraid of the people of Qinghai!

It was that incomparably cruel "god"!

In Chopper's view, such a being is unworthy of being called a "god".

Even the picturesque Sky Island is under the rule of villains, and the Sky Islanders live in constant fear.

He smiled, his eyes tightly closed, his face grave.

Although I suspected there was more to the story, I never imagined the truth would be so cruel.

With his exceptional Observation Haki, he was able to better understand the emotions of Conis and the other Skypiea inhabitants.

Shock, sadness, fear... negative emotions filled everyone's heart, and he perceived them all.

This made Yi Xiao feel even heavier. To think that someone could cause such a mental breakdown showed just how wicked that person's actions were!

Kill!

In an instant, this word came to mind for everyone in the Guxin group.

boom--

The next moment, a clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky.

Connie looked horrified and suddenly looked up at the sky.

The sky is clouded over

Angel Island, which was originally sunny and bright, was suddenly covered by a deathly dark gray thundercloud.

The clouds in the sky churned wildly, twisting into a huge black vortex. At the center of the vortex, blinding pure white lightning exploded, accompanied by eerie thunderclaps that terrified the people around, who screamed and fled in panic.

"God is angry!"

"Run!"

"Divine retribution is coming!"

The islanders' hearts were pounding as they desperately tried to escape. Some even tripped and fell, using their hands and feet to get away.

It should be known that when the gods strike, they show no mercy; the impact of lightning is widespread.

If innocent people are standing near a lightning strike, they will also be killed. They will die, and God will not care.

In God's eyes, man is as insignificant as an ant!

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and the whole world suddenly went dark.

Connie trembled and murmured, "We're all going to die..."

She had witnessed others being struck by lightning; no one could withstand such a divine punishment.

Faced with the immense power of nature, humankind is so insignificant.

Guxin's expression remained calm, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He reached out to Conis, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Get up."

Connie stood there, stunned, staring at Guxin, at a loss for what to do.

Why are Guxin and the others still standing here calmly?

A blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky!

boom!

Thunder roared!

Suddenly, a thick pillar of lightning, several meters in diameter, like a spear from the sky, with a piercing shriek that tore through the air, crashed down on the clouds where everyone was, wreathed in dazzling electric light.

Guxin remained silent, simply helping Connie to her feet, completely disregarding the powerful lightning strike.

This angered Enel, who was observing the scene from a distance.

This is the first time anyone has dared to disregard his "divine retribution" like this.

In an instant, a fierce sword aura shot into the sky, cleaving the lightning pillar in the sky into pieces and splitting open the dark clouds above!

Sunlight streamed through the gaps, illuminating everyone's faces.

Zheng—

The long sword was sheathed.

"We can't let those cowardly rats disturb my captain's peace!"

He smiled casually, as if he had done something trivial.

Guxin doesn't need to make a move; his companions are part of the strength themselves!

Anyone who wants to hurt him will have to get past his friends first!

"The divine retribution... has been defeated?!" Connie muttered to herself, her expression blank, her mind reeling with shock.

Not only her, but every Sky Island inhabitant who witnessed this scene was utterly shocked.

For the first time, someone was able to resist that divine punishment-like lightning strike!

Who exactly are these people from Qinghai?

At this moment, Ganford arrived on his celestial horse and was quite surprised to see that everyone was safe and sound.

Seeing the gathering thunderclouds in the distance, he immediately realized that someone else was about to suffer Enel's "divine punishment." He quickly thought of the Qinghai man he had just met, so he came to help.

Unexpectedly, this group of people from Qinghai single-handedly defeated Lei Zhu.

"Hey! People from Qinghai, who are you?" Ganful couldn't help but ask.

They were clearly not ordinary pirates. Gan Fall remembered the last time he encountered such powerful pirates was when he met the Roger Pirates.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Guxin," Guxin said simply.

Is he one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Ganford tugged at his white beard, looking surprised.

He had met many people from Qinghai and had some understanding of the region, so he naturally knew about the so-called "Four Emperors" and "Seven Warlords of the Sea"...

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are already very famous figures among pirates.

I see, that explains their great strength.

"So, Shichibukai Gushin, you've also seen the truth about Skypiea. What are your plans next?" Gan Fall continued to ask.

The people from Qinghai he usually encountered had mostly died from the lightning strikes. Even those he occasionally saved would desperately try to escape, with no other thought in mind.

What choice will this so-called Shichibukai Gushin make?

"I don't have any plans."

"It's just about dealing with people and things I don't like."

That's all.

Gu Xin's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough to reach everyone's ears.

He never thought about having to be perfect in any particular way.

It's just that on the way to the top, when they encounter injustice, they lend a helping hand and improve people's lives within their capabilities.

It's not that he's particularly good.

It's not that the world is so terrible.

In such a supernatural world, many tragedies are nothing more than the work of scheming ambitious people and high-ranking celestial beings; simply eliminating them would be enough to allow people to live well.

Most of the time, he just acts on his whim.
