Chapter 154: The Power of Ninjutsu! Pirates in Fear

"Shadow Shield!"

The shadows on the ground transformed into a shield, hovering in front of the group.

A thunderous blast struck the shield, and countless arcs of lightning began to flash and splatter wildly, damaging and igniting several nearby houses, but the shadow shield remained unbreached.

"Another ability user? Capable of controlling shadows?

Hmph... Seems quite impressive, but compared to me, it's far inferior.

My thunder is the strongest!

Only I am worthy of being called a god!"

Enel muttered disdainfully.

His eyes showed a hint of surprise.

But he still didn't give them a second glance.

Nami was also surprised by this scene.

Pineapple Head calmly faced Enel, who was attacking him, and said, "You control the power of thunder, so you must be Enel?"

"Oh? Someone from the surface world already knows my name? How so? Are you my admirers, wanting to join my ranks?" Enel asked with interest.

"Join you? You're quite full of yourself, kid.

Do you know who we serve? Do you think we'd follow someone like you?"

A guide among the Beast Pirates glared at Enel with disdain, his eyes filled with contempt as if looking down on a country bumpkin.

The pirate's voice was loud, shaking the air and waking up Robin, who had just passed out.

"Robin!"

Seeing Robin awake, Nami and the fallen Zoro both called out happily.

"Ugh... What's going on here?"

Robin was dazed, seeing the additional two dozen people and dogs in exoskeletons.

What happened to me? Did I pass out? How long was I out? Why are there so many strange people here?

What's going on now? Nami ran over to Robin and quietly explained the situation in her ear.

"Hmph! I don't care who you are; in the presence of a god, you should show humility, or else... you'll face divine punishment."

Enel smiled indifferently.

He had no interest in the people from below Sky Island.

"You fool! I'm with the Beast Pirates!

Are you looking for death, talking to us like that?"

The guide from the Beast Pirates shouted again.

His face twisted in anger.

Enel, Zoro, Nami, and some of the natives were completely confused.

They were only concerned about the arrogant pirate.

However, Robin, who had once worked with Crocodile and had access to a vast amount of information, had her pupils dilated, and her body trembled as she said, "The Beast Pirates! You're... with the Beast Pirates?"

"Oh? Among these country bumpkins, there's finally someone with some knowledge!" The pirate guide boasted.

"Robin... what's wrong? Are the Beast Pirates that famous?" Nami asked, sensing Robin's slightly trembling body.

The others also turned their attention to the newly awakened dark-skinned beauty.

"Not just famous... The Beast Pirates are so well-known that it's almost impossible for regular pirates not to know about them..."

Robin took a deep breath.

The group was startled by her words, and their eyes became more serious as they looked at the unexpected group.

"Impossible for regular pirates not to know? But... we don't know them!" Nami frowned.

The guide from the Beast Pirates scowled, about to shout again.

Shikamaru raised his hand to stop him, lazily staring at Robin, Nami, and the others.

"So... you're not a regular pirate!" Robin exclaimed.

"Zoro definitely doesn't know either!" Nami asserted.

"I don't know," Zoro shook his head.

"So he's not a regular pirate either!" Robin looked defeated.

The Straw Hat Pirates she followed were far from ordinary.

A captain with an idealistic and childlike nature.

A training-obsessed klutz.

A thief with money on his mind.

A cook who only thought about women.

A long-nosed liar...

And a timid reindeer...

"Then what are the Beast Pirates? Come on, Robin, explain it clearly!" Nami rolled her eyes.

"Huff... The Beast Pirates are one of the Four Emperors of the New World, Kaido's pirate crew!

Do you know what the Four Emperors are?

They are the four most powerful pirate captains in the New World.

Each of them rules over the entire sea like an emperor.

Even the Navy acknowledges their status and rule, hesitant to start a war with them.

They are the epitome of strength."

Robin explained with a serious expression.

Nami opened her mouth in surprise, "More... more powerful than the Seven Warlords?"

"She thought of the Sand Crocodile, its terrifying form dancing amidst the raging sands, almost invincible."

"Of course, the Seven Warlords of the Sea follow the Navy's orders, how can they compare to the Four Emperors?"

Robin nodded.

Nami swallowed hard.

Even Zoro showed a look of surprise:

"Stronger than the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

were so shocked that they couldn't help but exclaim, "Another Thunder Clap Fruit user?"

Robin furrowed her brows.

"How is this possible!"

Enel was so shocked that his mouth hung open, and his nose started dripping. He stared wide-eyed at the two thunderous monsters colliding.

A violent, blinding flash erupted.

The two thunder beasts only held each other for an instant before Ya's Thunder Dragon Cyclone was shattered.

Enel's thunder beast continued its charge towards Ya.

Boom! A powerful explosion and lightning engulfed Ya.

Seeing this, Enel calmed down slightly and laughed triumphantly:

"Hahaha! Although I don't know what means you used to access the abilities of a god, a counterfeit is still a counterfeit!

There has only ever been one god from the beginning! You can't beat me! Hahaha... Under the divine punishment, turn to charcoal!"

"Huff... As expected... Enel's lightning ability is stronger. No wonder he dares to call himself a god, ruling the Sky Island for so many years."

Nami breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a hint of regret.

Robin frowned and glanced at Ya's companions. Not one of them seemed worried. Was this confidence in their partner, or... were they all cold-blooded?

The last of the thunderous light faded, and the surroundings returned to a level of brightness that was bearable to look at.

Ya, who had just been struck by the 30 Million Volt Thunder Beast, lightly patted his body, which was still smoking.

"So this is the power of the Thunder Clap Fruit? As expected, ordinary lightning can't beat you."

"You, you, you, you..."

Enel's nose started dripping again, and he shouted in horror.

"Why aren't you afraid of my lightning! This is impossible!"

He retreated several steps in fear.

"Why doesn't Enel's lightning affect this man?" Nami muttered.

"Are you using... Dominance?"

Robin, with her vast knowledge, observed the black aura emanating from Ya's body.

"Dominance? What's that?" Nami shouted.

Enel and Zoro perked up.

"A latent power that all humans possess. This power is an innate ability, a force of will, a killer instinct... When you manipulate these invisible feelings, your willpower can become a weapon. People call this powerful force Dominance.

Among them, the Armed Dominance not only greatly enhances destructive power but also significantly increases defensive capabilities. It can even... hit through Element Plating, allowing the user to be unafraid of Nature Devil Fruit users."

Robin explained.

"Targeted against Nature Devil Fruit users?"

Zoro, lying on the ground, lit up. He saw hope in defeating Nature Devil Fruit users!

"So powerful," Nami opened her mouth.

The other Sky Island residents looked on, seemingly understanding yet not quite.

Enel laughed heartily, disdainfully saying, "What a joke! Targeted against Nature Devil Fruit users?

Targeted against my ability? Ridiculous! I am a god! A god cannot be defeated by anything! Six million volts! Thunder Dragon!"

He roared and was about to strike again, but Ya's figure instantly vanished, leaving only an afterimage. Then, his real body appeared in front of Enel.

Enel, about to strike his shoulder drum, froze, his pupils shrinking as he inwardly marveled at Ya's speed.

Boom!

A powerful punch flew towards Enel's face.

Enel instinctively used Element Plating.

Boom!!!

The powerful punch landed squarely on Enel's face, distorting his features.

Enel's face deformed, and as saliva sprayed, several teeth were knocked out!

His entire body was smashed back, flying nearly a hundred meters away!

A trench was carved into the ground, and thick smoke rose from the impact.

Around them, Nami and the other Sky Island residents widened their eyes in shock, screaming:

"He's been knocked away!"

"Enel's been sent flying!"

"How is this possible!"

"How did this man do it!"

"So strong!"

Zoro's eyes lit up, even more intrigued by the concept of Dominance Aura.

"Indeed, there are no weaklings among the Beast Pirates... These beings who dominate the New World are incredibly powerful compared to those from outside."

Robin whispered.

"Hey! You there, the self-proclaimed god with long ears, are you alright? I didn't go easy on you just now."

"You better not be dead. That would make things really troublesome for us."

The arrogant voice echoed, full of pride.

The feeling of bullying the weak... unexpectedly delightful!

He now understood why everyone enjoyed showing off.

"You damn bastard! You've infuriated the god!

Two hundred million volt Thunder God!"

Enel's voice boomed with rage.

A powerful thunderbolt exploded.

A thunder giant emerged from the smoke, appearing before everyone.

Countless bolts of lightning danced around him, creating an awe-inspiring aura.

"Change! Change! Transform!"

"This Enel guy... he's not as easy to deal with as I thought."

"I have a bad feeling about this... We should get as far away as possible."

A group of Sky Island natives were terrified, and many started to move away.

Nami's expression grew more anxious.

"You dare challenge the god! All of you, die!"

Enel roared, and the Thunder God he had transformed into raised a hand, releasing countless bolts of lightning towards the front.

The surrounding buildings were instantly destroyed, and the ground melted.

The blinding thunder light was unbearable to look at!

Shikamaru and the others, facing the thunder directly, were also shocked.

"No wonder he's the target of this mission. The Thunder Clap Fruit is indeed formidable. If one were to withstand such an attack with their bare body, I doubt even the Empire could find more than a few dozen capable of doing so.

Moreover... looking at his reaction, it's clear he's not faring well."

Shikamaru muttered, "But... if we use ninjutsu to counter, that's a different story."

"Earth Style: Soil Wall Stream!"

Shikamaru gently clapped his hands.

As soon as he spoke, a thick earthen wall rose in front of him.

Boom!

The intense, terrifying current struck the wall, constantly melting the earth, but the land also slowly healed, preventing the thunder from advancing even an inch!

"Damn! You possess the power to control the earth? Are you the spirits of the land?"

Enel was both furious and shaken.

Nami exclaimed, "The power of the earth... is it the Ground Fruit? Is this also a Nature Devil Fruit power?"

"No... wait, that man just used shadow-related abilities, and then... he used earth-based powers! How is this possible? Why can this man use two different powers?"

"It's impossible to possess two powers unless... unless..."

Robin continued Nami's sentence, her expression growing more somber.

"Unless what, Robin?"

"Unless... it's like the power of the Pirate King Roger! The power of ninjutsu from another world! These people... they've mastered ninjutsu?"

Robin shouted.

Whoosh!

"Oh? Indeed, a lady of great knowledge, aware of both the Beast Pirates and ninjutsu. Impressive!"

Shikamaru's voice came from behind the earthen wall.

"It's definitely ninjutsu... With this, Enel's defeat is certain." Robin said.

"Defeat? Don't joke! Even if you're the god of the earth, you're no match for me, the master of thunder!"

Enel shouted, and the giant Thunder God he had transformed into floated upwards, raising his right hand again.

"Divine..."

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Shikamaru leaped out from behind the earthen wall, spewing a massive amount of water from his mouth.

Enel was startled and switched his ability, flying into the sky.

While Enel managed to dodge, those on the ground had no such luck.

A large group of people were swept away by the flood.

Nami hugged Zoro and Robin, taking shelter behind a house, as they braced against the flood. She couldn't help but shout:

"What are these people? Why can they use such abilities? This is too unfair!"
