Chapter 1

In the year 1514 of the Sea Circle Calendar, high above the vast expanse of the White Sea, which is ten thousand meters above the Blue Sea...

The floating island, Bika, which has been passed down for a thousand years...

Is gradually heading towards destruction in a natural disaster!

The source of the disaster is the countless bolts of lightning that are crashing down across the entire island!

And the one who has created this apocalyptic scene is a figure floating in the air!

It is the lightning, emanating from his hands and carrying the aura of death, that has destroyed all life on Bika Island.

At the edge of the sea of lightning, over a hundred figures, led by four people dressed in priestly robes, stare with fanatical expressions at the vague figure in the lightning.

"This is the true power of the gods, a true god walking among humans! Only such power deserves the title of a god!"

The four leading priests, feeling the destructive force, cannot suppress their instinctive fear and tremble as they mutter to themselves.

In the midst of the thunder, looking down at the apocalyptic scene below, Enel's eyes show no pleasure in destruction, but rather a look of confusion!

Amidst the thunder and the screams, a flood of unfamiliar memories suddenly surge into his mind.

He grunts, his head feeling as if it has been struck by a heavy hammer, buzzing loudly.

Instinctively, he reaches up to hold his forehead, taking a moment to catch his breath and regain his senses.

In that instant, the sudden flood of unfamiliar memories transported him into a bizarre dream.

In the dream, a series of rapid images showed him a world called the Pirate King's World.

In that world, countless grand events unfolded, and he himself appeared in one of those scenes.

Staring at the destroyed Bika beneath his feet, surrounded by lightning, Enel falls silent.

According to the scenes he saw in the dream, after destroying his hometown, Bika, he would go to another floating island, defeat its ruler, and become a new god.

Then, six years later, he would be defeated by a boy from the Blue Sea wearing a straw hat, and would be relegated to a background role, exiting the stage of the sea in disgrace.

"Yahahaha, is this a divine revelation?"

Enel covers his face, a defiant laugh escaping through his fingers.

Apart from the initial shock of the sudden, seemingly prophetic memories, Enel has now completely calmed down.

Perhaps this is a privilege of being a god walking among humans!

As for the revelation that he would be defeated by a pirate from the Blue Sea six years later, Enel dismisses it with a sneer.

I am a god who will rule everything. Now that I have received divine revelation, how could I stumble in the same place again?

The original me thought the world was only as big as a floating island, and was only interested in the infinite land above, not in anything else.

Now that I know the Blue Sea is so incredibly vibrant, how could I continue to be as mediocre as the revelation suggests?

Looking at the massive sphere of lightning suspended above his head, Enel abandons his original plan to completely sink Bika and disperses the lightning.

His elemental body slowly descends from the sky, and his Heart Network ability activates, instantly creating a three-dimensional map in his mind.

Every detail of Bika is clearly visible in his Heart Network.

Under the cover of the lightning, there is not a single survivor left on the entire island.

The thousand-year-old floating island, Bika, has indeed been destroyed by his hands!

In the White Sea surrounding Bika, where the lightning did not reach, there are still over a hundred auras.

These are the four priests and over a hundred guards who had previously submitted to him!

The disappearance of the lightning catches their attention, and Enel senses them quickly moving in his direction.

Enel slowly descends from the sky and stands on the ruins of the Bika Temple.

In the next moment, his elemental body solidifies!

He wears a headband, has long earlobes with earrings, and a perfectly proportioned upper body without a shirt. On his back is a three-tomoe lightning drum, and he wears a gold ring on his hand, holding a gold staff.

He wears loose, wide pants, is barefoot, and has gold rings on his toes.

Looking at the ruins around him, Enel falls silent.

If he had received the revelation earlier, he might not have destroyed Bika but would have developed it into a major force under his control.

But now that the situation is set, dwelling on it is pointless.

When things have already gone bad, the only thing to do is to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control and getting even worse.

Being defeated by the rookie Luffy six years later, as the revelation suggests, is definitely not an outcome he is willing to accept.

Fortunately, there are still six years before that plot unfolds.

He has plenty of time to conquer other floating islands and turn them into his base for dominating the Blue Sea.

At this moment, the four priests, seeing the lightning dissipate, have arrived before Enel.

"God!"

The four priests walk up to Enel, bowing their heads in submission and obedience.

The thousand-year-old Bika was destroyed by this man with a mere wave of his hand, how could they not be terrified and afraid?

Enel looks at the four leading priests and the guards behind them—this is his entire team now.

Nebula, Sadari, Shura, and Ohm!

Originally priests of the Bika Temple, they chose to submit to Enel after witnessing his invincible power, becoming his loyal subordinates.

Among the four, Ohm is the strongest, and Sadari the weakest. Enel has always relied most on Ohm.

Therefore, the other three priests have never been entirely convinced of Ohm's superiority.

In Enel's eyes, after receiving the divine revelation, the four's current strength, while considered formidable on Bika, is insignificant in the Blue Sea below.

Enel feels a bit helpless but is not overly concerned.

After all, the civilization and environment of the floating islands determine the upper limit of individual combat power.

In the future, he will definitely go to the Blue Sea.

He is no longer as blindly arrogant as before, thinking that just because he has the Goro Goro no Mi, he is invincible.

Only by strengthening both his body and his fruit abilities can he compete with the monsters of the New World in the Blue Sea.

Haki, the power that the strong in the Blue Sea, as shown in the revelation, all possess, is one of the skills he must acquire in the future.

The four, under his guidance, will be able to initially grasp the Heart Network, which is essentially a variant of Conqueror's Haki.

This shows they have potential. If they can also learn Haki, they should not be too weak even in the Blue Sea.

"God, all the ships and supplies are ready, we can set sail at any time!"

Ohm, the bald man with a tattooed right arm and a katana, steps forward and respectfully reports.

Among the four priests, Ohm is the strongest and the most devoted to Enel.

Following Enel's original orders, after destroying Bika, they were to set sail and head towards the next floating island.

But now, Enel has changed his mind!

He realizes that his previous self, blinded by hatred, overlooked some things that might interest him.

"Ohm, is there any place in the temple that is unknown to others?"

Enel asks directly.

Ohm is slightly taken aback, then seems to remember something: "In the depths of the eastern hall of the temple, there is indeed a forbidden area. The false gods of Bika have always forbidden anyone from approaching it."

"Search the area, see if there is anything worth noting, and bring all valuable supplies with you."

Leaving these instructions, a flash of lightning, and Enel's figure disappears into the depths of the ruined temple.

Although the four priests are somewhat puzzled by Enel's orders, they faithfully carry them out, dispersing with the guards to search for supplies.
