If he had any companions with him at this moment, they would surely be shocked speechless and on the verge of tears.
Luffy let out a string of laughter, then patted a white wolf next to him and said:
"Hey, you guys are really interesting. If I take you back, Zoro and the others will definitely be happy."
As Luffy was speaking, a giant South Bird directly nudged Luffy's head with its beak.
Luffy couldn't help but frown, turning his head and saying:
"Hey, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm having a great chat with my wolf brother?"
Hearing this, the South Bird let out a strange sound.
Then it turned its head towards the south.
Seeing this, Luffy's expression became serious, and he began to analyze the situation.
"You mean there's a lot of good food in this place and we should go look for it, right?"
Hearing this, the giant South Bird rolled its eyes, clearly not agreeing with Luffy's interpretation.
Seeing this, Luffy started to ponder again. Just then, the South Bird suddenly pecked at Luffy's head repeatedly with its beak.
A look of anger flashed in Luffy's eyes, and he immediately punched the South Bird, knocking it down.
But as soon as he looked up, his eyes widened in shock.
The white wolf that had been buddy-buddy with him was now running into the forest.
Seeing that things were not good, the South Bird quickly took flight.
Because, not far ahead of Luffy, a giant striped python, with its mouth wide open, was roaring at the sky.
The giant python hadn't noticed Luffy yet and was slowly slithering forward.
Its body was like a small mountain, leaving Luffy speechless.
A moment later, Luffy's initial surprise turned into excitement. He had never seen such a large creature before.
Even the giant sea kings paled in comparison to it.
Luffy's eyes glowed, and he ran towards the python.
The next second, he swung his arm backward.
Then, Luffy's arm shot out towards the giant python.
He punched the python right on its jaw, sending it flipping over.
Seeing this, the white wolf and the South Bird, who had been hiding and observing, both looked surprised and disbelievingly at Luffy.
They hadn't expected Luffy to not only not avoid the Lord of the Sky, who had ruled here for over four hundred years, but to actively provoke it.
Now, they dared not linger here any longer, because they knew how terrifying the Lord of the Sky could be when it unleashed its fury.
With this thought, the animals that had been playing with Luffy scattered and fled.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Sky flipped over, a look of anger in its eyes.
The stripes on its body began to constrict, its pupils dilated, and a drop of venom fell onto a tree, instantly corroding it into nothing but ash.
Seeing this, Luffy gasped, realizing he had indeed caused trouble.
Indeed, this creature was somewhat different from the sea kings.
Before Luffy could react, the giant python charged directly towards him.
Although the Lord of the Sky's body was enormous, it moved with incredible speed.
Luffy looked left and right, then stretched out his arm, grabbed a branch, and leaped towards another tree.
However, the branches in the forest, having recently been subjected to flames, were already brittle. Before Luffy could even take flight, the branch snapped.
Luffy couldn't help but shout out loud.
"Hey, how can you fail me now!"
As soon as Luffy finished speaking, the Lord of the Sky opened its mouth wide and attacked.
Luffy couldn't dodge in time and was swallowed whole.
After swallowing Luffy, the Lord of the Sky's expression softened considerably.
The reason it had suddenly gotten up was that it had sensed a familiar scene.
Then, the Lord of the Sky turned around, searching for the source of that fleeting sensation.
Finally, the Lord of the Sky locked onto the direction of the ruins where Raynor and the others were.
Its eyes flickered, and it moved towards Raynor and the others.
During its journey, bolts of lightning struck the Lord of the Sky's body, but they caused no harm.
...
Skypiea Ruins.
Raynor and Enel's battle had reached a fever pitch.
Enel glared hatefully at Raynor. His lightning, no matter how fast, still couldn't keep up with Raynor's speed.
This was a complete humiliation for him. As the fastest among Logia fruits, lightning, was actually slower than this kid. If this got out, how would he, a god, ever regain his dignity?
With this thought, Enel formed another circle of light in his hand.
He instantly threw the circle into the giant thundercloud.
The lightning in the thundercloud flashed again, but Raynor's speed was still faster.
Raynor continuously used the power of the Rabbit Talisman to dodge Enel's repeated attacks.
He was looking for an opening. He needed to defeat Enel at his weakest moment.
He only had one second of Haki left. If he couldn't defeat Enel instantly within that second, all his efforts would be in vain.
It was impossible to defeat Enel relying solely on the power of the Rabbit Talisman.
Furthermore, after repeatedly using the Rabbit Talisman's abilities, Raynor's stamina had reached its limit.
If he continued like this, he would collapse from exhaustion before Enel could even lay a hand on him.
With this in mind, Raynor used the Rabbit Talisman's ability to flash behind Enel.
Seeing this, Enel was not panicked at all. A powerful bolt of lightning directly pierced through himself.
The surrounding lightning unleashed close to a billion volts of super-electrifying power.
If Raynor hadn't been quick enough, he would have likely turned to ashes by now.
It seemed Enel was prepared, and defeating him wouldn't be easy.
He needed to bide his time, otherwise, continually wasting his energy wouldn't be a sustainable strategy.
With this thought, Raynor flashed to Robin and Nami's side, and with them, he fled the ruins.
Seeing this, Enel propped up his chin and smiled sinisterly, "How boring. The entire Skypiea is within the range of my Mantra. Where can you possibly run?"
As he spoke, Enel transformed into a streak of lightning.
He then searched the surroundings, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find any trace of Raynor and Nami.
A look of seriousness appeared in Enel's eyes.
Just as Enel's patience was about to run out, a voice suddenly called out from afar.
"Enel, I never thought you'd have a day like this. Give back our land!"
