I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"We haven't found it yet." Brin's three eyes showed difficulty.

"The only thing that can be confirmed is that the God-King is the God of War and Power of the God Kingdom. He has ruled for a very long time and possesses unparalleled strength. Even the new generation of gods has never had the chance to see him make a move."

...............................

As the sun gradually sank in the west, the orange sunlight streamed through the gaps in the clouds, falling on the armor of the Protoss soldiers and reflecting its brilliance.

On the wilderness of the divine island, the divine prince, leading thousands of rebel soldiers, has already arrived.

Although he was forced to abandon his stronghold on Cloud Island, he still managed to turn the rebels on the two Sky Islands and finally set foot on the land of God Island.

The God-King lowered his eyelids and his gaze met briefly with that of the clown in the distance. Happy was still wearing clown makeup, and his expression remained unchanged.

"Sieg didn't show up. Although he didn't capture him directly, it seems he's holding off the Golden Lion? What a pleasant surprise."

One of the main reasons why Happy was able to incite rebellion against the King of Gods was with the help of the Golden Lion.

As a user of both the Cloud and Cloud Devil Fruits, Shiki is not only incredibly strong, but his aerial mobility is also unmatched.

They couldn't catch up, and if they chased too far, the Golden Lion could forcefully lure the tiger away from the mountain, making it difficult for the God King to leave the God Island.

If such a figure were to abandon his dignity as a strongman and become an enemy of the World Government, throwing an island over the head of some member state every now and then, even the World Government would be in a state of utter chaos.

Just as this thought was passing through the mind of the God-King.

The clouds in the distance suddenly parted to both sides, revealing the outlines of islands one after another. These were clearly floating islands, numbering more than a dozen in total!

Although these floating islands are not as large as the great floating island beneath the feet of the gods, they are rapidly approaching this place from high above.

"Sky island? A sky island that you can fly over?"

This scene was something even the gods had never seen before, and all the soldiers and gods secretly became wary.

"Hehehehe..."

Suddenly, the Golden Lion's long laughter echoed through the clouds. A large pirate ship with a lion's head decoration on its prow broke through the air. The Golden Lion stood with one foot on the bow, facing the wind, and the strong wind in the sky blew his long golden hair.

Golden Lion Shiki returned to the divine realm, and this time, he also brought back his Sky Island group, Vermeer, and the Flying Pirates that had taken up residence there.

"Golden Lion?" The God-King's face darkened; this was unexpected.

"God-King, shall we make a bet?" the Golden Lion laughed loudly.

"Let's not get involved in the battle. Let's just stand here and watch whether Happyness can break through the gods' obstruction, walk up to you, and challenge you."

The golden lion laughed loudly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Having prepared for so many days for the prince's revenge drama, he didn't want to miss it.

Of course, the Golden Lion's original plan was not a bet, but to directly participate in the war and join forces with the God Prince's rebel army to attack the God King's heavenly palace.

However, Sieg's interference ruined his plans, and he was left alone on Cloud Island, forcing him to leave prematurely...

"That ambitious troublemaker, Sieg, will definitely not miss this good show," the Golden Lion thought to himself.

"I cannot go down to fight the God King, otherwise if Sig appears, we will be attacked from both sides."

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but the golden lion's expression remained aloof and arrogant.

He appeared confident, intending to increase the chances of victory for the Prince of God's side without intervening in the battle.

"Not participating in the war, is it just a deterrent?" The God-King's eyes flickered, and he nodded in agreement.

"You've become quite capable." The God-King's gaze fell upon Happyness.

He was unaware of the complex relationship between the Golden Lion and Sig, and only believed that the appearance of the Golden Lion was a scheme by the Prince of God.

"Row."

“Then I will sit on this throne and wait for you to come before me.” The God-King’s eyes flashed, a gale howled past, the clouds beside him were blown away, and a small floating island appeared from it, approaching the God-King’s island amidst the blowing gale.

The island is in ruins, revealing the remains of a huge circular arena. Broken stone pillars are covered in moss, and the bluestone paving is cracked.

This is the arena of the gods, a sky island battlefield born for war.

The God-King landed on the throne in the arena, propping his head up with one hand and looking down at Happy in the distance, his gaze slightly cold.

Looking at the divine prince at this moment, he seemed to see the day many years ago when the eldest prince died at his hands.

The battle has begun.

On one side were thousands of rebels led by Happyness, and on the other side were even more numerous soldiers of the divine kingdom and the gods.

"Lightning!"

A bolt of lightning ripped through the battlefield, instantly traversing the sky. The lightning danced among the soldiers of the divine kingdom, causing hundreds to convulse and collapse to the ground, spewing black smoke from their mouths.

Enel walked barefoot onto the battlefield, his body radiating dazzling electricity.

"One god is enough." His gaze fell upon the God-King in the distance.

"The existence of a divine kingdom is meaningless."

Enel stood behind Happy, his face indifferent, but his body was flashing with dazzling electricity, quite eye-catching.

"It's the sinner who destroyed Bika..." The gods' expressions changed.

"He inherited the powers of Thor Lucien, but destroyed his homeland Pikka. Was he released from prison after being imprisoned?"

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power is immense. Combined with Enel's powerful Psychic Matrix, he is an extremely difficult enemy to deal with, provided his intelligence doesn't falter. Even the gods of Skypiea are wary of him.

"I'll only help you this once." Enel wouldn't risk his life for anyone else; this was just a deal between him and the Joker as payment for the prison break.

With his abilities, he can escape very quickly. If the situation becomes unfavorable, he will naturally leave, but there's no need to do so now.

His entire body shone with dazzling electric light, and every time he struck the thunder drum, lightning shot out. His body was surrounded by electric light, and soldiers could not get close to him.

But this time, this god-like man was just a supporting character.

Happy the Clown moved.

He took his first step, and a black ripple appeared beneath his feet.

As he stealthily advanced, the ripples spread into a black tide, the powerful gravity twisting and tearing the surrounding earth and rocks into fragments, annihilating the bullets and sword light falling towards him, and devouring everything around him.

In addition, a dark Armament Haki quietly enveloped his body, causing his skin to reflect a metallic sheen in the orange sunset.

This clown seems to be walking in an abyss, and with each step he takes, the abyss beneath his feet widens.

"I've met another user of the Dark-Dark Fruit. This is the third time." Shiki's gaze swept over him with a sense of nostalgia.

The first Devil Fruit user he met was Rocks, and the second was Blackbeard Teach. Both of them were ruthless and charismatic villains.

Rather than saying they chose the Dark-Dark Fruit, it would be more accurate to say the Dark-Dark Fruit chose them.

This time, the third ability user is the clown prince of the divine kingdom.

With the Dark-Dark Fruit and the ability to use two Devil Fruits, how could Shiki, a former member of the Rocks Pirates, not look at him differently?

"It's the power of darkness..." a member of the divine race exclaimed in surprise.

This time, their shock was far greater than when they saw Enel, the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"The power of darkness is the nemesis of all gods, capable of devouring and seizing all divine power!"

"Is this the power of the God Prince?"

"I've heard that a certain god-king from hundreds of years ago was killed by the god of darkness at that time!"

"Not only that, he also mastered Armament Haki... Did he learn it in the Blue Ocean?"

Panic crossed many people's minds.

The gods are high above, and on the sky island where there is a lack of Seastone and very few people have mastered Armament Haki, they have almost no decent natural enemies.

However, he now possessed the Dark-Dark Fruit and Armament Haki, which few others had mastered.

The pitch-black abyss rapidly expanded beneath Happy's feet. The clown remained silent, his white face, smeared with paint, devoid of any expression, as he steadily approached the God King.

The dark undercurrent surged and roared, rising like a tidal wave.

laugh!

A sword light tore through the earth and landed on Happy's hand, which was shrouded in dense blackness.

This blow, capable of tearing trenches in the ground, failed to pierce the prince's skin; no blood flowed from his hands, which were enveloped in thick, dark ink.

With lightning speed, Happy reached out and grabbed the throat of a man holding a sword, lifting him off the ground.

"Dark water".

A dark light flickered on his palm, and all his abilities were taken away.

As he gradually increased the pressure in his hand, the man holding the sword quickly turned red in the face. The sword fell from his hand, and his feet, which had been in mid-air, thrashed helplessly before gradually ceasing their struggle and being thrown to the ground.

The abyss beneath their feet suddenly expanded, like a dark swamp swallowing up the dozens of people who had surrounded them. A twisted and powerful gravitational force dragged them to the ground, their leg bones being pulled and deformed by the invisible force, blood gushing out.

Dense gunfire covered the surroundings, with sword flashes and cannon fire roaring.

The Prince of God emerged from the smoke of the explosion time and time again. There were no obvious injuries on his body, but he frowned deeply, enduring great pain. However, his steps forward did not slow down in the slightest, and even seemed to quicken slightly.

"Has it really become this powerful?"

"How did he spend the more than ten years he was missing?"

"A monster...a monster!"

The attacks of the gods and legions seemed to be having little effect, and the prince of gods was closing in step by step.

The rebels numbered less than a thousand. Although they had a strong figure like Enel to help them, it only reduced the number of people attacking them.

As Hapinis advanced, he found himself surrounded by enemy troops.

But his solitary journey brought an indescribable sense of oppression to the gods.

"Shouldn't more gods be involved?" Beside the throne, a high-ranking god clad in golden robes hesitated before speaking.

A divine prince doesn't need all of them to fight together; they still have some dignity to maintain.

But now, some people are hesitant, as the Joker Happy Hogan has put considerable pressure on them.

"Let's save our energy. After all, he is the only son of the God King."

"This is the King of Gods' family matter... What if the Prince of Gods turns over a new leaf? We'll be in for it later." Other gods whispered among themselves.

"However, that little prince from back then has silently become such a monster..." They looked down at the divine prince on the battlefield, a chill running down their spines.
