Chapter 70
"Chirp."
Just as Nami was still getting familiar with her newly acquired powers, a bird cry rang out from the sky.
Soon after, everyone saw the former God of Skypiea, Gan Fall, wearing armor and riding a strange bird, fly above them before slowly landing.
At the same time, rustling sounds came from the forest. The Shandians had also arrived at the palace on the Island of God. Three factions were now gathered here.
Reiju and Rorschach had naturally sensed people approaching with their Observation Haki, but since Rorschach didn’t say anything, Reiju didn’t pay it any mind either.
When the other two groups got closer, they saw Enel lying on the ground, his fate unknown, along with the three other defeated priests. The last priest was nowhere to be seen.
"This... This is Enel! Enel is dead!"
The Shandian warriors cried out in shock, their voices filled with indescribable excitement and joy.
The surprise came too suddenly. The God Enel, who had ruled Skypiea with absolute force and easily crushed all their resistance, was actually dead!
"Enel... he’s dead?!"
Gan Fall’s eyes widened in disbelief.
No one understood Enel’s strength better than him. Back then, he had been easily defeated by Enel and stripped of his position as God. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Yet Enel’s withered body now clearly told him the truth — he was dead.
"Blue Sea people, did you do this?"
Gan Fall looked at Rorschach’s group with shocked eyes.
Rorschach simply shrugged and said, "Is there anyone else here besides us?"
Although he had already guessed the answer, Rorschach’s confirmation still shocked him.
Gan Fall dismounted from his bird and gave Rorschach a solemn bow.
"Honorable strong one, I am Gan Fall, the former God of Skypiea. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for ridding Skypiea of the disaster known as Enel. The people of Skypiea have suffered terribly these past four years. It was your powerful intervention that saved them."
Gan Fall expressed his sincere gratitude. Even though Rorschach looked very young, he still performed the highest form of respect.
"Well, no need to be so polite. I didn’t defeat Enel for the sake of Skypiea’s people. It just happened to align with my own goals."
"However, we don’t do things for free. Since I’ve defeated Enel, I am now the new God of this Skypiea. Everything here belongs to me — including all the gold."
Rorschach spoke calmly with a nonchalant expression.
His words caused everyone to fall silent. Even Nami and the others hadn’t expected Rorschach to declare himself the new God of Skypiea.
"Blue Sea person, I don’t care what your goals are, but this land of Vearth belongs to us Shandians! This is our homeland!"
"No matter what kind of God of Skypiea you want to become, please leave this land of Vearth."
Wyper reacted first. With a grim face, he raised the cannon barrel in his hands and aimed it at Rorschach. The warriors behind him instantly tensed up and pointed their weapons at Rorschach as well.
"Don’t be so nervous. If your hands shake and you accidentally fire, it’ll be all of you who die."
Rorschach had a smile on his face, yet his words were extremely terrifying.
The Shandians broke out in cold sweat from Rorschach’s aura, but they still didn’t lower their weapons — because their leader Wyper hadn’t lowered his.
"Honorable strong one, please forgive their rudeness. They only act this way because they have their own hardships," Gan Fall hurriedly stepped between them and bowed respectfully once more.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In this tense atmosphere, the ground suddenly began to shake. Then a giant snake as massive as a mountain emerged, its head towering over everyone present.
"That’s the Lord of the Sky, Noland!"
The Shandians cried out in alarm. They clearly hadn’t expected the Lord of the Sky Noland to appear at this moment.
Noland stared at the tiny humans below, seemingly thinking about something, then suddenly let out a roar.
"Too noisy."
Rorschach frowned. Looking at the roaring Noland, he felt a bit irritated.
His eyes sharpened, and a wave of Conqueror’s Haki shot straight toward Noland.
Noland instantly felt the impact of Rorschach’s Haki. Its pupils shrank to pinpricks, its body trembled uncontrollably, and then with a loud thud, it collapsed.
"This... this..."
Both Gan Fall and the Shandians were shocked beyond words. The mighty Lord of the Sky Noland had been felled by a single glance from this young man.
This bizarre ability was even more unimaginable than Enel’s lightning power.
"Ugh..."
Suddenly, one Shandian felt his body become extremely weak. The gun in his hand slipped from his powerless grip and fell to the ground. He soon collapsed as well.
This situation spread like a chain reaction. All the Shandians, including Wyper, collapsed to the ground.
"Thanks, Reiju."
Rorschach thanked Reiju. She simply shrugged, as if to say that even without her, they wouldn’t have been able to harm Rorschach.
The moment the Shandians raised their weapons, Reiju had already released a colorless and odorless poison gas on them.
It wasn’t lethal, but anyone affected would become weak and collapse.
"Honorable strong one, please don’t harm them..."
Gan Fall had already knelt on the ground in panic, begging Rorschach to spare the Shandians.
This former God of Skypiea was truly kind-hearted. Even now, he was pleading on behalf of the Shandians.
"Don’t worry, I don’t want their lives. Otherwise, they would have died the moment they saw me. This state just makes talking easier."
Rorschach waved his hand to show he had no intention of killing them, then told Gan Fall to stand up. He still felt uncomfortable having such an elderly man kneel to him.
"I’ve heard about you Shandians, and the story of Noland and Calgara from four hundred years ago."
As soon as Rorschach said this, the Shandians were shocked. They never expected a Blue Sea person to know about their ancestors and Noland.
"Although everything on Skypiea belongs to me, I can allow you to return and live on this land. However, I need the Shandians to pledge loyalty to me." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Rorschach stated his purpose. The Shandians were fierce, brave, and strong warriors. Although they couldn’t compare to some pirates from the Blue Sea, they were the type of tough men who would stand up for their beliefs no matter how severe their injuries.
Even Rorschach held such people in high regard. Although he said he wanted to become the God of Skypiea, he wouldn’t stay here permanently.
Having such a group of tough warriors loyal to him to maintain his rule on Skypiea would be perfect.
And Gan Fall had once been a wise God. After Rorschach left, having him help manage Skypiea was also part of his plan.
