"What is that?! My god, it's enormous!" As both the Sand Giant and Raigo appeared at once, every citizen of the Sky Kingdom was thrown into shock and fear—it felt like the end of the world.
A sand giant over 100 meters tall could shatter the island with a single punch. The impact alone would devastate the center of the landmass.
And the colossal Raigo looked like the sky itself was collapsing. Once it dropped, both Upper Yard and Angel Island would be doomed.
"What's happening?! Is God angry? Is this divine punishment meant to wipe us out?"
Conis stared in fear toward the Holy Land. She remembered what that Blue Sea man had said earlier—God intended to destroy the Sky Island.
Now, the massive thundercloud falling from the sky was clearly Enel's doing, and the sand giant must be from that Blue Sea man.
No matter what, it was safer to leave Angel Island. If Raigo fell, they might have a slim chance to escape.
Thanks to the Blue Sea man's warning, she had kept the boat ready on the beach. Now it was finally time to use it…
"Incredible…" Gan Fall was stunned by the sight. The mighty Enel had met his match in a Blue Sea man—both were natural disasters in human form.
"Will Uncle win?" Natalie asked worriedly. She sensed extremely volatile ball-shaped lightning colliding inside the thunderclouds—powerful and destructive beyond reason.
Lightning alone was terrifying. When concentrated and detonated simultaneously, the force was beyond imagination.
"I don't know," Hathaway said grimly, her body entering a state of high output. Even she wasn't sure if her strongest technique could split the thundercloud.
And even if it did, the scattered lightning would still be deadly to everyone below. But if it hit intact, the result would be far worse.
"He will win," Robin said softly with a smile.
"Why?" Natalie was confused.
"Because if he lost, we'd probably be dead. So if we're still here to see it, that means he's winning," Robin replied, leaving Natalie a bit dazed.
Was that the reason? She didn't really understand, but Robin seemed to trust Uncle completely.
"Mere sand dares to contend with lightning? Fall to the Blue Sea!" Enel roared, his voice like thunder, as Raigo descended. It wasn't fast, but it carried the weight of despair—there was nowhere to run.
"A grain of sand, a world entire. Bloom—Annihilation Sand Realm!" From within the Sand Giant, Rosen continued his pursuit of Enel. He had no intention of letting him go, and stopping Raigo was crucial.
Rosen unleashed his Suna Suna no Mi powers to their peak. It was a Devil Fruit of admiral-level potential—he wouldn't fear lightning.
His body entered full output mode. The volume of sand he was controlling exceeded his usual limit—perhaps even surpassing it. Though it wasn't his most deadly move, not as lethal as Instant Annihilation, it was highly effective against massive or numerous enemies.
The Sand Giant let out a deafening roar, then thrust both claw-like hands upward, wrapped in a thin layer of golden sand. The massive arms pierced into Raigo.
The lightning surged into the conductive gold sand, causing disruption inside Raigo itself.
At the same time, the Annihilation Sand Realm began releasing torrents of sand inside the thunder sphere, interfering with the chaotic lightning.
"How is this possible?! He's made of sand—how can there be metal?!" Enel was shocked.
The lightning inside Raigo was already dangerously unstable. If a conductive material entered, it could trigger a premature explosion—something he absolutely did not want.
"Shatter!" Rosen's roar echoed across the Sky Kingdom like a shockwave. The bellow of a giant over a hundred meters tall was terrifying.
Crack! A huge rift split open down the center of Raigo.
Enel's expression changed drastically. Even as its creator, Raigo became harder to control as it grew. To see it about to be destroyed was shocking.
He launched two Divine Judgment lightning beams at the Sand Giant, blowing massive holes into it.
But Rosen, grounded on the island, quickly drew more sand to repair the giant's body. Then, with a powerful surge and a roar, he ripped Raigo in half.
The resulting lightning storm exploded outward like a thunderous hurricane. It turned into a rain of lightning.
Fragments struck and destroyed most of Upper Yard's trees and much of Angel Island's buildings. Many people were injured.
Panic spread.
"Impossible!?" Enel was in disbelief. Raigo was hard to create, and if it could be destroyed once, it could be destroyed again.
His lightning was powerful, but if Raigo couldn't land, then he had no means to seriously hurt this Blue Sea man.
It was maddening—to possess such powerful fruit abilities, yet be unable to harm his enemy. If only he understood the powers of the Blue Sea people better, he might stand a chance.
"Desert Funeral!" As Raigo shattered, Rosen turned and attacked the Ark. The Sand Giant's colossal fist came down like a mountain.
Enel tried to dodge, but seeing the Ark beneath his feet, he hesitated.
That hesitation made it impossible to dodge. He had to face it head-on. "Raijin, 200 million volts—Thunder Net!"
Enel's giant Raijin hand struck forward, unleashing a blinding wave of electricity. A net of thunder spread out from him, engulfing the space before him, then surged forward.
The devastating net of lightning sliced the incoming sand fist into fragments, which fell away. The Sand Giant collapsed toward Enel.
"Overcharge Discharge!" Enel poured more power into the Thunder Net. A thunderous boom shook the sky as lightning met sand. The impact shattered the sand, sending clouds into the air.
Too easy—there was no resistance. Enel frowned.
The Sand Giant fell too easily. It wasn't as strong as before, and that didn't sit right with him.
Of course not—Rosen had let go of control. Using the falling sand as cover, he had already approached Enel.
"Hell Bullet!" Rosen raised his hand and fired 11 sand bullets from the front. Enel was surprised—he couldn't see his attacker.
But the trajectory of the bullets was obvious. Just as he raised his hands to defend, he sensed danger behind him.
A pincer attack.
After the Raigo assault and all the thunder techniques, Enel's energy was drained. This sudden dual strike caught him off guard. Yes, he was lightning—but his awareness had to keep up too.
Boom!
A heavy punch landed on the back of his head, stunning him. As he tried to react, a barrage of brutal punches and kicks followed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rosen unleashed a relentless storm of attacks. Enel had no time to react—no time to turn into lightning and escape.
