Eneru's head gradually lowered.
"Wait!"
Birds and beasts scattered in the forest as a group of people ran towards the altar, their rapid pace kicking up dust.
"Gum-Gum rocket launcher..."
"Three Sword Style! Three Thousand Worlds!"
"Save. Gentleman Kick."
"Sure-Kill. Fire Bird Star."
"Tornado Tempo!"
"Six Fleur! Bind."
"Hoof Print: Cherry Blossom!"
Eneru, who instinctively looked up at the sound, saw seven people instantly appear before him.
"My great...x" He was cut off before he could finish speaking, getting hit in the face by a flurry of attacks and sent flying.
If he hadn't elementalized in time, he would have been dead.
The storybooks didn't mention so many people appearing after kissing a prince.
Eneru was a bit stunned; how many years had it been since anyone dared to challenge the authority of a god?
"You! Do you not know that a god exists in this world? That is me! I am God! How dare you offend God! All of you, die! Vanishing Bolt!!!"
As Eneru called out, countless bolts of lightning instantly gathered in the sky, forming a giant electrical net that enveloped the entire island.
Innumerable flashes of lightning poured down from the clouds like sharp swords, striking towards the crowd.
Nami, Usopp, and Chopper's faces turned pale.
They looked at the lightning in the sky in horror, and Chopper subconsciously blew the whistle around his neck.
Robin, who was closest to Luffy, quietly moved a little further away from him.
Just then, something unexpected happened—the lightning bolt strangely curved in mid-air!
It seemed to have a will of its own, changing its original direction and striking fiercely towards Luffy.
The group blinked, looking bewildered, and Luffy was even more dumbfounded.
Wyper, hiding in the bushes, dropped his jaw in disbelief.
God's attack had no effect.
Gan Fall, who was flying over, and his horse both froze in mid-air.
The entire scene was silent, with only the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze.
"Is that it??" Nami asked, somewhat incredulously.
Chopper rubbed his eyes, "Why did this lightning curve in the air, and why did it go towards Luffy, and most importantly, why is Luffy completely fine?"
Eneru's mouth hung open, unable to believe his attack had no effect.
He struck the thunder drums behind him with his weapon.
"30,000,000 Volts! Thunder Bird!"
Luffy began to tilt his head.
"60,000,000 Volts! Thunder Dragon!"
Luffy picked his nose and flicked the booger away... it turned to ash.
"Hey, old man (Eneru is 39, the same age as Red Hair)... does your Devil Fruit only glow?! So cool! Is this some new kind of performance?"
Luffy, thinking he had figured out the truth, excitedly ran over and patted the drum behind Eneru, the lightning striking Luffy's body and emitting a blue light.
"Sugoi!!!! Mina, look! I'm glowing!"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and Gan Fall looked on with suspicion.
"Can someone explain what just happened?"
Robin pointed at Eneru, "This person tried to kiss our companion.
After being stopped, he became enraged, and then it was as you saw."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Mm-hmm..."
Wyper emerged from the forest in disbelief, "Why don't God's attacks hit you?"
"Who are you? Don't be so familiar!" Everyone looked at the Skypiean Shandian in the forest and complained.
Robin pointed to the antenna on Luffy's head, "That headband is made of metal and can attract lightning.
It's usually placed on special buildings on islands, or what you call the Blue Sea, and it's called a lightning rod.
It's used to attract lightning and prevent disasters."
Nami suddenly understood, "I knew it looked familiar!
It's a lightning rod.
But why would Orochimaru put it on Luffy's head, and why is Luffy fine??"
Robin's expression was a bit subtle, "Because Nami, you said you saw divine punishment, and someone was turned to ash.
I guessed Orochimaru probably anticipated the enemy would have lightning-based attacks, so he made that.
The reason Luffy is fine... is because Luffy is a rubber man... he... is an insulator... which means he's not afraid of lightning."
The air suddenly went silent.
On Eneru's side, Luffy kept banging the drum, his body glowing blue.
The lightning Eneru released had no effect on him, so he could only use physical attacks... but Luffy, who had mastered some Haki... still thought Eneru was cooperating with his performance.
He... was having a lot of fun.
Chopper tugged at Zoro's clothes... "Zoro... shouldn't we wake Orochimaru up?" Chopper's small hooves pointed at the still peacefully sleeping Orochimaru.
Everyone fell silent again... what were they so excited about earlier... oh right, that god seemed to want to kiss Orochimaru... so it's fine that they hit him then.
That god must not be a good person, after all, anyone who so openly does strange things to Orochimaru and says strange things is no good.
For example... a certain Crocodile... went to Impel Down.
For example... a certain Blackbeard... fell into the sea.
For example... a certain god... is currently being played with by Luffy.
Hmm... very good.
From this, it can be inferred that this is definitely not a good person.
Everyone agreed with this judgment.
Only Chopper still tugged at Zoro's clothes.
"So... Orochimaru... Orochimaru isn't awake yet... don't just stand there in a daze..."
Zoro scratched his head.
How do they wake him up?
Even when the enemy was almost in his face, Orochimaru didn't react.
"Luffy... stop playing... wake Orochimaru up first.
Do you know how to wake Orochimaru?"
The moment Luffy turned his head, Eneru spotted an opening and smacked him away with his staff.
Luffy rolled a few times on the ground, got up, patted his clothes, put his hands in front of his mouth like a megaphone, and shouted loudly.
"Orochimaru!!! Grandpa's back!!!"
{(°△°;"}!
Startled awake from a deep sleep.
Orochimaru looked left and right, no one, forest... clouds... Luffy... lame mule.
Chopper?... Good... it was just a dream.
Orochimaru stretched.
"Luffy? You passed the trial? What about Arlong... did you defeat him, and who is that long-eared person?"
"Oh ₍₍ ᕕ(´◔⌓◔)ᕗ⁾⁾ We defeated him, it was very easy.
This old man is an emerging street performer, he can make me glow."
Luffy enthusiastically introduced Eneru, pointing at him.
Eneru looked at the awakened Orochimaru, paused, then became furious.
"Who the hell is an entertainer!!! Earth to earth! Man to man, God to God, I am God!!! The God of the whole world!! Master of all lightning! Since it's something on the altar, it belongs to God, and there's nothing God wants that he can't get!!!"
Eneru transformed into lightning, enveloping the entire sky.
Orochimaru looked at Eneru in the sky... his eyes full of desire, muttering, "I want..."
His words struck the group like lightning; Sanji's hand even trembled as he lit his cigarette... "Orochimaru... what did you say?"
"Lightning... that lightning... the Rumble-Rumble Fruit... sustainable lightning... infinite kinetic energy... infinite energy! A permanent battery!!!! Luffy! I want that person!!" His eyes were filled with fanaticism as he stood up, ready to fly over.
₍•ʚ•₎•ʚ•₎•ʚ•₎ ₍•ʚ•₎•ʚ•₎•ʚ•₎ The group, realizing what was happening, quickly hugged Orochimaru tightly.
"Yamero!!!! Orochimaru! That's a person... that's not allowed... you can't have him... at least... you shouldn't... and you can't...!!!! Snap out of it!!!!"
