That brilliant light was shining down from the cloud ball onto the island.
With a rumbling roar, the light gradually weakened. Seeing this, Zoro's eyes showed a grave expression.
He figured only a god could unleash such a powerful attack.
That direction was exactly where South Bird was taking them.
This made Zoro a bit worried. He then tapped South Bird on the head and said:
"Hey, hurry up and take us there!"
Hearing this, both South Bird and Usopp looked surprised.
Even from such a distance, the brilliant light felt awe-inspiring.
They didn't expect Zoro to still want to charge forward.
This made South Bird even more determined that Zoro could definitely defeat the Lord of the Sky.
With that thought, South Bird flapped its wings.
It instantly lifted off the ground and flew towards the direction where the light had erupted.
After a moment, the light nearby faded. Usopp was about to put on his telescope to look at the situation over there.
But at this moment, a thick fog suddenly enveloped the surroundings, making it impossible to see anything.
If it weren't for South Bird's fixed direction, they would have likely gotten lost by now.
Usopp screamed in fear.
"Hey, what's going on? Even if it's foggy, it's too fast!"
Hearing this, Zoro calmly said:
"What's there to panic about? As long as we're going in the right direction, we'll reach our destination eventually!"
Speaking of which, Zoro couldn't help but feel worried.
The lightning strike from before was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
Moreover, after such a huge amount of energy fell, it dissipated so quickly.
This point was also difficult to explain.
Could it be that there really were gods on this land?
...
Skypiea Ruins.
The overwhelming ten billion volt lightning strike had left the surroundings in a mess.
After a long while, Raynor slowly lifted his head and looked at the center of the field.
At this moment, Nami and Robin also struggled to lift their heads and began to cough violently.
However, just as the lightning struck, there was still a rumbling all around, so their coughing couldn't be heard.
As the smoke cleared in the center, Raynor frowned.
Because at this moment, Usopp, who had taken the ten billion volt strike, was standing in the middle of the field, completely unharmed.
Not just Raynor, but even Enel's eyes showed a grave expression.
He then looked at the Impact Dial Usopp was holding.
The Impact Dial was still emitting hot steam.
The impact stored within had reached its limit and was trembling constantly.
Usopp's arm, which was holding it, was also trembling.
By this time, Usopp's arm was bloody and mangled. If he held on any longer, he would likely never be able to fight with that hand again.
Seeing this, Enel couldn't help but clap.
"Very impressive. You're probably the only one who would dare to do something like this."
"I didn't expect you to absorb the impact from the lightning with an Impact Dial. That's really something."
"If the Impact Dial's capacity wasn't enough, your fate would have been ten times worse than originally planned!"
Hearing this, Usopp coughed a couple of times and then looked up at Enel.
"You're too kind. I just wonder, can I use the impact from your lightning to kill you!"
Enel's eyes showed a dismissive expression upon hearing this.
He then casually said:
"Maybe. Too bad you'll never get that chance. At least, I won't give you such a chance!"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere between them became tense.
After hearing their conversation, Raynor finally understood why they were spared.
It turned out Usopp had absorbed the impact from the lightning using the Impact Dial.
This made the previous attack seem so light.
Enel's attack was reduced to just the electrical discharge, and most of it was aimed elsewhere.
Without the impact, even ten billion volts of lightning wouldn't be able to accurately lock onto their position.
It had to be said, Usopp's combat intelligence was truly high.
However, Usopp had no more Seabed Stone.
Even with ten billion volts of lightning impact as an offensive weapon, it wouldn't be able to cause even the slightest bit of damage to Enel.
But this allowed Raynor to discover the best way to deal with Enel.
The impact caused by ten billion volts was no small matter; it could easily destroy an island.
If he could use an Impact Dial, combined with his one second of Armament Haki, defeating Enel might not be impossible.
With this thought, Raynor immediately began planning his strategy in his mind.
He had to eliminate all unexpected possibilities.
After all, defeating Enel in a single second allowed for no room for error.
Given Usopp's personality, if he went to ask for an Impact Dial directly, Usopp definitely wouldn't give it to him.
So, he would have to use the power of the Rabbit Talisman to snatch the Impact Dial.
But then, there was no guarantee that Usopp wouldn't attack him, and everything would be ruined.
With this in mind, Raynor frowned. Just then, Raynor suddenly had an idea and looked at Robin.
It seemed he needed Nico Robin's help; otherwise, this plan wouldn't go smoothly.
As Raynor was thinking, Enel launched another attack on Usopp.
However, this time, Enel didn't immediately use ten billion volts for the attack.
Faint lightning appeared on the golden staff in his hand, and he instantly attacked towards Usopp.
At this moment, Usopp's body, already heavily injured, couldn't dodge nimbly.
Lightning bolts pierced through Usopp's body, causing him immense pain.
Seeing Usopp's pained expression, Enel's resentment was greatly released, and he excitedly said:
"Very good. Anyone else would have collapsed by now, but your eyes still look determined..."
Hearing this, Usopp, holding the Impact Dial, quickly attacked towards Enel.
"I will never let the one who took our land go!"
Saying this, Usopp reached Enel.
But Enel remained calm, a dangerous look in his eyes.
"You're not thinking of defeating me in this state, are you? You should know that physical attacks are useless against me."
As Enel finished speaking, he was about to strike Usopp, but the next second, Usopp suddenly changed his position.
He actually ran towards the Seastone in the distance. Seeing this, Enel's expression hardened.
"You really haven't learned anything. Stop repeating such an old trick."
