This was a bold and exciting adventure.
But for Luffy, this was definitely the most important adventure of his life.
If he gave up this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
At this moment, the bow of the Going Merry was pointed upwards, with a pair of wooden wings extending from its sides, which they had modified in the past few days. Propelled by the updraft, the Going Merry's speed was so fast it seemed capable of breaking through the sky.
Everyone except Rosen clung tightly to a part of the ship's hull beside them.
"Old Man, aren't you scared?" Luffy, even in this situation, still had the presence of mind to care about Rosen.
"Fool, I, this Old Man, can fly! I'm a Goro Goro no Mi user."
"Ah, right, right…" Luffy looked at Rosen with an envious expression: "I really want to be able to fly too."
"Although I can't teach you how to fly, experiencing it is no problem."
Rosen's Eternal Mangekyo activated, and then black Chakra was released, enveloping the Going Merry. At the same time, the Complete Body - Susanoo gradually formed, with a pair of huge wings appearing on the back of the Susanoo.
The Susanoo's wings suddenly spread wide, accelerating sharply as it flew into the sky.
"Ahhh… amazing!"
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper's eyes all shone brightly.
Robin was also surprised yet hopeful. She also hoped that one day, she would be able to display a Susanoo like Rosen.
She currently had the foundation to use a Complete Body - Susanoo, but her physique was too weak to withstand it.
Indeed… her top priority now was to train her body.
Rosen directly led the Going Merry past the ticket gate at the entrance to Heaven.
The ticket price at the gate was one billion Iley per person. Iley was the currency of Sky Island, but the Berries from below were ten thousand times more valuable than Iley.
Regardless of whether one bought a ticket or not, one could enter Heaven.
However, if one didn't buy a ticket, they would be treated as illegal invaders and attacked by Eneru and his subordinates.
Passing through the clouds, the Going Merry finally arrived at the Upper White Sea.
Everyone was incredibly excited, already having a blast.
An island appeared ahead, and that island was the God's Island, Apaya.
After everyone disembarked onto Apaya, they once again felt the solid ground.
However, the moment they landed on the island, everyone felt as if they were being watched.
"It seems someone is peeking at us," Luffy said, stroking his chin.
"Hmm… maybe it's a coward," Rosen replied, "Let's go, I can already sense a large amount of gold here."
Gold! This was a rare opportunity.
As the Golden City, it had a vast, even exaggerated, reserve of gold.
A city built with gold—one could only imagine how exaggerated the gold reserves here truly were.
Everyone strolled through the jungle of Apaya.
Along the way, there were many ruined relics.
Just then, Robin suddenly stopped. She saw a cube.
Rosen remembered that this cube recorded information about the ancient weapon, Aquaman.
"You guys go ahead, I'll make some notes here," Robin said.
"Then be careful. Oh, and if you encounter a shirtless pervert who calls himself a god, just defeat him directly," Rosen said.
"Alright, Grandpa."
Meanwhile, in a huge palace on Sky Island, Eneru was currently seething with rage.
"Pervert? Coward?"
Eneru used electromagnetic reception to expand the range of his Observation Haki. The entire Sky Island was under his surveillance, and he could hear what anyone said.
He called this ability "Mantra," which was actually an enhanced version of Observation Haki.
It was also through this ability that he completely ruled Sky Island and declared himself a god.
However, his strength and abilities truly made him a god on Sky Island.
When the Going Merry landed on the White Sea, he had already detected these outsiders.
And the Old Man among these outsiders seemed to know of his existence, calling him a coward and a pervert, which was a complete provocation to him.
Eneru immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and instantly appeared above the jungle of Apaya.
Rumble—
"What's happening up ahead?" Everyone looked at the lightning strike in front of them, showing surprise.
"It must be that pervert the Old Man mentioned."
Eneru, with angry steps, walked out of the lightning.
"This guy looks strong!" Zoro's sword was already unsheathed.
"Let me go first, let me go first…" Luffy clashed his fists together, ready for a fight.
"Why should you go first? Why not me?"
Before even fighting Eneru, Luffy and Zoro were already on the verge of fighting each other.
"Both of you, shut up!" Nami gave each of them an iron fist: "I'll go first."
With that, Nami had already stepped forward a few paces. Rosen said from behind: "He is a Goro Goro no Mi user, very fast, possesses Observation Haki, and can turn into an elemental form."
"Understood, Old Man." Nami, holding her Clima-Tact, pointed it at Eneru: "Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet!"
Everything in its path was crushed by Nami's attack, leaving a trench several tens of meters long on the ground.
Eneru's body instantly turned into lightning, dodging the Vacuum Bullet while fiercely lunging at Nami.
Nami seemed to anticipate what was about to happen. The Clima-Tact in her hand suddenly turned black, and she swung it forward fiercely.
Eneru flew backward, clutching his face, with a look of astonishment still on it.
This attack was not enough to make Eneru unable to stand.
But the Armament Haki attack still left a burning pain on his face.
Eneru had possessed the Goro Goro no Mi for eighteen years.
During these eighteen years, he had almost forgotten pain, forgotten injury.
No one had ever been able to hurt him.
He had always believed that he could not be defeated.
No one could harm him; elementalization combined with Mantra allowed him to evade any attack.
But now, he had been struck by a woman with a stick.
Eneru furiously wanted to tear Nami to shreds.
Nami was actually at a disadvantage against Eneru. Her primary attribute was lightning, and Eneru was a Goro Goro no Mi user, so lightning attacks were ineffective against him.
Therefore, Nami could only use Wind and Water Release attacks.
However, the power of secondary attribute Ninjutsu was far lower than that of the primary attribute.
So, after a few probing moves, although she hit Eneru a few times, she didn't cause any substantial damage to him.
Eneru, burning with rage, flew into the air and raised his right arm, a giant lightning ball condensing above his head.
Nami immediately infused a bolt of lightning into her Clima-Tact with her right hand, then hurled it into the lightning ball.
The moment the Clima-Tact entered the lightning ball, the ball experienced a corona discharge phenomenon, making it very unstable.
No matter how hard Eneru tried to stabilize the lightning ball, he couldn't succeed.
The lightning ball self-destructed amidst continuous corona discharge.
Through electromagnetic attraction, the Clima-Tact returned to Nami's hand, and she looked provocatively at Eneru in the sky.
Eneru suddenly grinned, then flew higher into the sky.
Immediately after, countless bolts of lightning rained down from the sky, continuously striking the people below.
Indeed, Eneru's move hit the group's weakness.
They couldn't fly! If they couldn't overcome this weakness, they would always be at a disadvantage when facing flying enemies.
Nami plunged her Clima-Tact into the ground, simultaneously activating Lightning Release: Lightning Accumulation Jutsu.
The Clima-Tact became a lightning rod, and Eneru's continuous attacks were also charging Nami's Clima-Tact.
After charging was complete, the Clima-Tact would discharge the excess current into the ground.
Eneru, seeing this from high in the sky, was furious.
But if he went down for close combat, he couldn't beat Nami, and high-altitude attacks couldn't cause any damage.
Ultimately, Eneru could only leave dejectedly.
"Nami, you let the enemy escape. I should have handled him," Luffy said, dissatisfied.
Nami was also in a bad mood after seeing Eneru run away.
Seeing Luffy grumble, she immediately gave him a punch.
Luffy cried out, clutching his head: "I don't care, next time that guy comes, he's mine."
"He's yours, he's yours. See if he doesn't char you to a crisp."
Eneru did not leave. In fact, he immediately went to find Robin, who had left the group.
Robin was currently engrossed in the study of ancient texts.
Although this cube did not record the Poneglyphs, it documented the ancient weapon Aquaman, which still held immense research value.
Eneru did not make a grand entrance this time, but silently landed behind Robin.
Lightning flickered at his fingertips; he intended to give Robin a lesson she would never forget.
Just as he was about to launch his sneak attack.
Eneru didn't notice a giant scarlet hand appearing behind him.
Before Eneru could attack, it grabbed him in its grasp.
The strength of the giant hand almost crushed Eneru.
Eneru hastily elementalized his body, escaping the giant hand's control.
Robin was a little disappointed. If this giant hand were connected to her own body, she could directly use Armament Haki, and then Eneru would have nowhere to escape.
Robin could summon a Susanoo giant hand anywhere, but if it wasn't connected to her body, she couldn't cover it with Armament Haki.
Eneru attacked Robin again, powerful lightning energy gathering at his fingertips, shooting towards Robin.
However, red Chakra immediately appeared on Robin's body, blocking Eneru's attack.
The red Chakra quickly formed a Half-Body Susanoo, and the scarlet Half-Body giant smashed towards Eneru.
After dodging a few times, Eneru realized that while this red giant's attack power was quite astonishing, its speed was not fast enough.
But similarly, Eneru's regular attacks also couldn't pose a threat to Robin.
He then flew into the air once more, releasing a large lightning ball.
Robin looked at Eneru in the sky. The Half-Body Susanoo's hands conjured a bow and arrow, aiming at Eneru.
Indra's Arrow!
Seeing this, Eneru hastily abandoned condensing the lightning ball and directly transformed into a flash of lightning, slipping away.
Through Mantra, he had foreseen that if he didn't dodge, he would be directly killed by Indra's Arrow.
He didn't want to die at the hands of this woman from the Blue Sea.
