Chapter 154 - 154: Is He a God Too? Cloud Village. "Chief!" "It's bad news, Chief! Wiper is back, but he's injured!" A Shandian shouted in panic as he helped a wounded guerrilla soldier. Hearing this, all the Shandians living in the treehouses of Kumogakure Village rushed out. Including the Shandian chief. "What happened, Wiper? Are you hurt? Did you run into one of the priests?" the chief asked urgently. "Cough~~~" "Chief, I... I'm fine. I didn't run into any priests. I... I met Gan Fall. I was careless, and that's why I got hurt! But those Blue Sea people might have already reached the White-White Sea." The Shandian warrior Wiper struggled to speak, clutching his stomach in pain. "Gan Fall? That old scoundrel!" "You rest and recover. Leave the patrol duties to someone else for now. Braham, you'll take over the patrol mission." The chief was furious when he heard Wiper had been injured by Gan Fall. After comforting Wiper, he quickly assigned the next patrol task. "Understood, Chief," Braham replied seriously. For years, the Shandians had been terrified of the secrets of Upper Yard, being exposed to the Blue Sea people. To prevent this, they had been actively stopping any Blue Sea people from getting close to Upper Yard. Every day, they organized guerrilla soldiers to patrol the White Sea 7,000 meters below. As Wiper was carried back to the treehouse for treatment, the chief looked toward Upper Yard, his eyes suddenly growing distant. Ever since Enel arrived, the Shandians' hope of reclaiming Upper Yard had become even slimmer. That kind of power... it wasn't something a human could possess! "Aisa, can you try to find out where those Blue Sea people are now?" the chief asked the little girl Aisa "Okay, Grandpa Chief," the little girl Aisa replied in a clear voice. She immediately began using her Mantra to scout. Aisa was a girl with a special kind of Mantra. She had been born with it, and unlike ordinary Mantra, hers allowed her to hear all kinds of sounds. With this ability, she could identify someone's identity just by remembering their voice. "Grandpa Chief, they've already reached Angel Beach on the White-White Sea. They came up as tourists," Aisa reported what she had found. "They've already reached the White-White Sea? And they came as tourists? That means they're probably wealthy. This isn't good," the chief said, his worry growing. People who were that rich and could make it to Skypiea were likely strong. The chief was deeply concerned that the secrets of Upper Yard might be exposed. The other Shandians also looked troubled. ~~~~~~ White-White Sea, Angel Beach. Nojiko had just fished Ryuen and Nami out of the White-White Sea. "Ah..." "That was so scary! I didn't expect the deeper parts of the White Sea to affect Devil Fruit users!" Nami said, lying exhausted on the beach. "I'm sure the clouds near the shore are different from the ones deeper in!" Ryuen said, lying next to Nami. "You're right. The clouds near the shore are made by Cloud Dials, so they're different. I've heard that in the Blue Sea, there's a mineral called Seastone. It contains a type of keratin particle called Pyrobloin, which is carried into the sky by volcanic eruptions. When it mixes with moisture, it forms Sea Clouds and Island Clouds, depending on its density. The Sea Clouds in the deeper areas have a higher concentration of these keratin particles," Gan Fall explained seriously. "So that's how it is..." Ryuen finally understood. No wonder he and Nami had been fine playing near the shore, but once they swam into the deeper parts... "By the way, I'll be leaving now. Since you've come as tourists, as long as you don't set foot in Upper Yard, you should be safe," Gan Fall said, standing up to leave. "Upper Yard? What's that? Why can't we go there?" Robin asked curiously. "Upper Yard is where the god, Enel, lives," Gan Fall said solemnly. "God?" "Enel?" The Dream crew, except for Ryuen, gasped in surprise. "That's right. As much as I hate to admit it, that power... it's beyond human. It's almost like Shenwu..." Gan Fall said, his voice filled with frustration and helplessness. Then, without touching on Enel's taboos, Gan Fall explained about the Island of God, Upper Yard, and Enel. "Divine punishment?" "Hey, Ryuen, what Gan Fall's describing sounds like some kind of Devil Fruit power, doesn't it?" Kuina turned to look at Ryuen, who was still lying on the beach. "Exactly. He's a Logia-type user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. In a place where Armament Haki doesn't exist, he might as well be a god," Ryuen said calmly, gazing up at the sky. "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit user?" The Dream Crew was instantly shocked. Just then, something unexpected happened. A blinding light suddenly appeared in the sky! Divine Retribution! "Oh no! Enel must have heard our conversation and gotten angry. He's about to unleash divine punishment!" Gan Fall's face turned pale, and his voice trembled as he looked at the dazzling light in the sky. "Nami, get out of the way!" Ryuen shouted immediately. This was the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. If anyone got hit, the consequences would be disastrous. Aside from Ryuen, who could turn into flames and avoid the attack, none of the other crew members could withstand such a powerful lightning strike. The rest of the Dream Crew quickly sprang into action, putting distance between themselves and Ryuen while dragging Gan Fall to safety. The arrival of divine punishment threw the entire Skypiea into a state of extreme fear and shock. No one knew who Enel was targeting this time. As the other crew members retreated, Ryuen didn't hesitate to transform into his full beast form. Golden flames erupted from his body, the intense heat instantly vaporizing the surrounding sea of clouds and creating a thick, white mist. The moment Ryuen completed his transformation, Enel's divine punishment struck! But how could lightning without Armament Haki possibly hit flames? Without missing a beat, Ryuen charged straight into the sky, heading directly toward Enel's attack! Full Beast Form! In that instant, everyone on Skypiea saw a massive fire phoenix soaring through the sky, scattering Enel's divine punishment. This incredible sight left everyone speechless. "H-how... how is this possible... Is he... a god too...?" Gan Fall was utterly stunned by Ryuen's actions. At that moment, the people of Skypiea began to place their hopes on Ryuen. They wanted to see this fire phoenix defeat the god Enel! --- --- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
