Chapter 65
Above Apayado.
Rorschach didn’t bother hiding his movements at all. He flew straight toward Enel’s location.
Enel, who had been lounging lazily, suddenly sat up from his sofa, his expression turning dark and uncertain.
"These Blue Sea people actually mastered Mantra as well?!"
He had originally thought Rorschach would land on the island and search around, so he had even arranged people to watch them and guide them appropriately. He never expected them to fly straight toward him.
To be able to cover the entire island with Mantra — this person was clearly a master. At the very least, none of his subordinates had reached this level.
"How interesting. I’m getting more and more excited to see what kind of entertainment these Blue Sea people can bring me."
After calming down, Enel lay back down again, a wickedly amused smile appearing on his face.
"To find the location of this God using only Mantra — this is the first time I’ve encountered Blue Sea people of this caliber."
"Hahahahaha, excellent. This saves me the trouble of having to teach you Mantra later. I’m really looking forward to what kind of fun you can bring me."
"You four, show me a good performance later. Do not hold back. Defeat these Blue Sea people with all your strength."
Back in his lazy state, Enel picked up an apple and took a bite while giving orders to the four priests standing by.
"Yes, Lord God."
The four priests responded respectfully, immediately kneeling on one knee.
Afterward, the four priests left Enel’s palace and stood like statues at the entrance, waiting for Rorschach’s group to arrive.
They were also curious — what was so special about these people that made God treat them so seriously? Enough to require all four priests to appear at once.
"They’re here."
Enel, who had been lazily resting on the sofa, opened his eyes with a playful smile.
...
"Rorschach, look at that palace down below. The God of Skypiea should be there, right?"
Nami pointed at the palace below.
"Yeah, this is the place," Rorschach replied.
"Strange. Why are there four weird people standing at the palace entrance?"
As they got closer, everyone saw the four priests standing at the palace gates.
"Who knows? But they look pretty strong. Anyone interested in testing them out?"
Looking at the four priests, Rorschach felt like letting the girls test their strength.
"Emm... They look pretty interesting. I also want to try the things you taught me. Count me in," Nojiko said with an interested expression.
"Me too! Me too!" Nami raised both hands excitedly. Ever since she started training, Nami had been working hard to improve her strength.
During the Alabasta arc, she had fought Mr. 2 (Vivi’s impersonator), but Crocodile’s appearance had interrupted the battle.
Since boarding the ship, she hadn’t had any real combat achievements. Karina, who boarded with her, had easily defeated Mr. 3 and her Barrier Fruit had helped Rorschach many times while protecting everyone. This made Nami somewhat regret not eating a Devil Fruit earlier.
She desperately wanted to prove herself in battle — that she wasn’t just a navigator, she could fight too!
"Alright, alright." Rorschach lovingly patted Nami’s head. Of course he noticed her thoughts. Whenever a fight broke out, Nami always wanted to rush to the front line.
"Anyone else want to have some fun?" Rorschach turned to the remaining girls.
Vivi and Mikita immediately shook their heads, showing no interest in fighting.
"I don’t really feel like fighting either... Can I leave it to Sister Reiju and Sister Robin?" Kaya asked somewhat apologetically. Her gentle personality really had no interest in combat.
"Hehe, since little Kaya asked so nicely, how could I refuse?" Robin said with a smile, resting her cheek on one hand.
"Indeed."
Both Reiju and Robin had similar gentle big-sister personalities and doted heavily on little Kaya.
Karina needed to stay ready to use her ability at any moment in case Enel appeared, so she remained beside Rorschach and didn’t join the fight.
As the latest member to join, Robin’s combat power couldn’t compare to Karina’s yet. However, her Flower-Flower Fruit was extremely versatile.
During the twenty days since she boarded, Rorschach had naturally not neglected special training for this mature beauty.
He wanted every crew member to be able to handle all kinds of special situations in battle. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Rorschach had provided Robin with many new development directions for her Flower-Flower Fruit, giving her great inspiration.
In the past, Robin had mainly used her fruit to restrain enemies or break their bones for attacks.
Now she had many new ideas for using the Flower-Flower Fruit, and her physical strength had also improved significantly.
The power training in the crew’s training room had shown clear results. Robin’s breaking techniques were now much stronger.
Soon, Rorschach’s ship arrived in front of the palace. Several people jumped down from the deck.
"Outsiders, halt your steps. If you wish to meet Lord God, you must first pass our trial."
The moment Rorschach approached, the four priests immediately stopped them.
Since the main target hadn’t appeared yet, Rorschach’s group stopped and simply stood there watching them.
Ohm, the strongest among the four priests, saw that Rorschach’s group had obediently stopped. His stern face softened slightly.
But when he saw that most of the opponents were women, he frowned. After thinking for a moment, he still spoke:
"Very well, outsiders. You may send three challengers as a group and choose any one of us priests to fight. You may continue until all nine of you fail, or until you defeat all four of us priests. Only then may you pass."
In the end, Ohm still set a challenge condition. He didn’t really believe these women had any real combat power. This wouldn’t be a trial — it would be a massacre.
If this were in the normal Ordeal grounds, it would have been all of them versus one priest. But Enel’s attitude forced him to be more cautious.
There might be one or two strong women among them, and that seemingly casual man looked like he had some confidence. To avoid any accidents, he set proper conditions.
"No need to make it so complicated. Let’s just do 1v1 duels."
Rorschach interrupted the priest who was about to drone on about the rules.
"What? Are you looking down on us?"
The other priests immediately got angry. They also felt these women had no real strength.
And yet this one man wanted to fight all four of them — he clearly didn’t take the name of the Four Priests seriously.
"Fine. Since you want one-on-one fights, we’ll give you that chance."
Ohm was also getting angry. They had defeated countless invaders in the Ordeal grounds.
He never thought the day would come when they would be looked down upon.
However, Rorschach almost wanted to laugh out loud. These clowns still dared to act tough here. If he wasn’t worried about scaring Enel away, he would have cut these small fries down with one sword.
