Chapter 209
Gion's eyes gleamed.
Since following Ryuya, her swordsmanship had dramatically improved, advancing from mid-level to high-level Supreme Grandmaster Swordsman, nearing the peak.
The others also showed significant progress.
Ain reached the initial stage of Supreme Grandmaster Swordsman, and her Devil Fruit power was enhanced, allowing her to revert people to their state forty years prior.
Roran demonstrated a deeper understanding of martial arts and Devil Fruit awakening.
Stella's Rakshasa form achieved its awakened state.
Hina's Ori Ori no Mi abilities improved significantly through training.
These women, each possessing formidable combat prowess, were gathered on Ryuya's ship.
Gion focused, drawing her sword and unleashing a drawing-cutting technique, instantly clearing a wide area.
Roran, unafraid, unleashed her awakened Seiran Fruit powers, unleashing searing flames from the sky.
These flames were incredibly hot, boiling the sea instead of being extinguished. The aroma of roasted meat wafted on the wind.
Stella activated her awakened Rakshasa form, surrounded by dark energy.
Her limbs transformed into blades, and she spun like a whirlwind, decimating countless small Sea Kings.
The women continuously displayed their abilities, battling the Sea Kings relentlessly.
Ryuya remained passive.
After nearly a month, they emerged from the rising currents and reached Skypiea.
However, the island was devastated—scorched and scarred, as if ravaged by fire and lightning. There was no sign of prosperity.
Ryuya was stunned. Using Geppo, he landed on the shore.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Check-in successful! Reward: Ark's Maxim! Ark's Maxim is a unique vessel that floats using electricity and is the only ship capable of reaching the Unlimited World!]
Ryuya frowned. Unlimited World… Enel had mentioned it—the moon.
The mysteries surrounding it were numerous; Ryuya wouldn't venture there without sufficient information.
He was more concerned with the island's devastation.
"What happened here?"
The women landed, equally puzzled.
"Ryuya, what happened?"
"I'm not sure, but it looks like a massacre."
Exploring the island, Ryuya followed the trail of destruction to its epicenter—a completely charred and ruined area.
There was no sign of life. The island was far from the prosperous place it was rumored to be.
"Let's leave the ship in the White Sea and follow this trail on foot.
We should find the culprit.
We're Navy; ridding the world of evil is our duty," Ryuya said.
The women nodded and set off, using Soru to travel quickly.
All were skilled in martial arts, except Makino, whom Ryuya carried.
After half a day, they reached another island, also bearing the marks of recent devastation, possibly just occurred.
Ryuya smiled; he knew who was responsible.
"The culprit should be just ahead."
They increased their speed. Makino, in Ryuya's arms, blushed at the warmth.
—
White Sea: 10,000 meters above the Grand Line.
The thin air significantly weakened those from the Grand Line.
A man appeared, wearing a white headscarf, long earrings, bare-chested with thunder drums on his back, gold rings, and a golden staff.
He wore loose trousers and was barefoot, with rings on his toes. He inhaled deeply, sensing the island's atmosphere.
Enel's eyes reflected cruelty and arrogance.
"This island will do. Your god has arrived!"
Dark clouds gathered, crackling with lightning, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
The island's inhabitants looked up in fear and confusion.
The sudden weather change was inexplicable.
Then, a figure appeared in the sky, lightning striking around it.
"What's happening?"
"How is that person flying?"
"That's strange! He doesn't have wings!"
Enel, floating in the air, listened to their murmurs through his Mantra, a smirk playing on his lips…
