Eneru looked at Orochimaru, who was being restrained by everyone and excitedly trying to pounce forward, feeling somewhat touched. As expected, he was someone chosen by God.
"Oh, slumbering prince, do you also long to return to God's embrace? Come... God accepts you. Only perfect beings like you are worthy of God's favor." Eneru spread his arms, narcissistically waiting for the prince to rush into his arms.
"You entertainer, don't talk to yourself!!! Don't you know this causes trouble for others!!!" Nami tightly hugged Orochimaru's waist, her shark-like face roaring at Eneru.
"Robin!! Two more hands! He's about to break free!
Zoro! Ropes, ropes! That vine over there will do!
Usopp!! Separate his legs! He can't turn into a tail!
It's no use!! Sanji! Take off your clothes first! Wrap them around him once, don't let him turn into a snake!
Chopper! You hug Orochimaru's head! Comfort him! Make him stop struggling! Act cute!
Luffy!! Quickly take this entertainer away! Get him out of Orochimaru's sight!
That thing cannot be collected!! Absolutely not!!!"
With Nami's furious roar, "Everyone, move it!" Everyone immediately sprang into action. Usopp, Zoro, and Sanji jointly dragged Orochimaru to the side, then quickly wrapped him tightly with Sanji's suit, forming a temporary mummy. Next, Chopper took out his medical bandages and wrapped a few more layers around the outside, making the mummy look even more secure.
At this moment, Robin used her Flower-Flower Fruit ability to pull out a large number of vines, making it easy for Zoro to cut them. She then bound the already wrapped Orochimaru again, forming a giant cocoon. Finally, Zoro simply hoisted the heavy cocoon onto his shoulder with ease.
To prevent Orochimaru from saying anything that might cause Eneru to misunderstand, they ruthlessly shoved a fruit into Orochimaru's mouth. Sanji even specifically chose a sweet one, and Chopper carefully sealed his mouth with bandages... Robin tied a bow with her hand behind his head.
The entire process was completed in one go, and Orochimaru was firmly trapped in this strange package, unable to move an inch. He had a feeling he was once again caught in an inescapable Tsukuyomi, and a forced one at that. He flailed unhappily, letting out muffled protests. Zoro patted the cocoon on his shoulder.
"Don't struggle... That kind of thing really won't do... Be good."
Robin looked at Orochimaru on Zoro's shoulder, a barely perceptible blush appearing on her face... She secretly took a photo with her camera.
(If the Captain can be beaten and then locked in a cage, why can't the first mate be tied up like a zongzi?)
Although Luffy didn't understand what was happening, he chose to trust his Crewmates, especially Nami, who was not to be trifled with... Didn't Orochimaru get disciplined? He covered one hand with Armament Haki, grabbed Eneru's long ears, and dragged him away.
"Sorry, Mr. Entertainer, though I'm very sorry... Orochimaru is more important..."
Shandian Wiper and former God Gan Fall were still standing there in a daze, their hearts filled with confusion.
Wiper slapped himself hard, trying to clear his head: "Are we dreaming? How can God be so weak... Are all humans from the Blue Sea so powerful?"
Gan Fall had experienced many things and was well-informed, but at this moment he too was lost in thought. After a while, he spoke: "Perhaps they are people chosen by the heavens... I feel that peace is about to descend. Go find the tribal chief; we will discuss our next steps together."
Wiper opened his mouth, wanting to speak but not knowing where to start. Finally, he turned away somewhat dejectedly, thinking that by the time the chief arrived, this battle would probably already be over. All of this seemed so dramatic, so what had all their efforts as Skypiean Shandians amounted to over the years? And where was the light of Shandora?
On the other side, Eneru was somewhat bewildered... What were they doing to his prince, these people! They were all obstacles. Eneru kicked Luffy away.
"I've said it countless times! I am not an entertainer! I am God! The God of Sky Island! You foolish mortal, how can you comprehend the might of God."
Then he pointed his finger at San Juan Wolf in the sky and proudly said, "See? That is a vehicle worthy of God's status, and only a God like me can control it. I will pilot it and lead my chosen people to the Endless Vearth... That is the only place truly worthy of God."
Having said that, Eneru spread his arms, his entire body radiating powerful lightning, as if to illuminate the entire world.
Luffy picked his nose and tilted his head, "Then go... Nobody's stopping you."
Eneru suddenly stopped, a confused expression on his face. His eyes became vacant, as if he had fallen into deep thought.
"That's right, the Ark Maxim has been completed, and I myself am its powerful power source. If that's the case, why should I remain in the abode of these mortals?" Eneru murmured to himself, as if contemplating an important question.
Then, his thoughts gradually cleared, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "So that's it, I've been waiting here all this time, waiting for the one who can pass the trial and gain my recognition to appear." He said to himself, a surge of anticipation rising in his heart.
"The slumbering prince, that is what I want to obtain," Eneru said excitedly, as if he saw a beautiful future beckoning to him.
As his laughter echoed in the air, the entire space was filled with joy and hope.
Eneru elementalized and flashed away, piloting the Ark Maxim towards Orochimaru and his group.
"Come on! Prince! Let us go to the Endless Vearth together!"
Orochimaru, on Zoro's back, heard the sound and looked up, seeing the giant golden ark floating in the air, powered by lightning. His eyes instantly widened, and he began to struggle violently!!
"Wuwuwu!!!"
...The group was speechless. Orochimaru, whom they had just managed to soothe, had his attention drawn away again. What were they to do now? They couldn't possibly cover his ears and eyes, could they? And did this so-called God know that they were actually saving him? Couldn't he stop causing trouble? It seemed they could only solve the problem at its root.
Nami took a deep breath and screamed with all her might: "Luffy!!! Help!!! A man is trying to steal Orochimaru!!! The kind that won't come back!"
Luffy, who was running, heard Nami's words, his face darkened. He held up the skewer he had just thrown aside, which Orochimaru had told him not to discard, looked in the direction Nami pointed, stretched his arm directly, and launched himself upwards, Armament Haki subconsciously coiling around the skewer, and slapped it down towards Eneru's face.
"Don't think you can just steal my little brother because you're an entertainer!!!"
