Robin bent down and patted Aisa's head, asking, "What are you doing here? Isn't this a forbidden area of Sky Island?"
Aisa angrily shouted, "Nonsense! This is our Shandian homeland!"
Noir returned the bag of Vearth to Aisa, saying, "Forget about being a Shandian warrior. This place is dangerous, you should leave quickly."
Aisa hesitated, confused, and asked, "Y... aren't with the priests?"
Robin shook her head and said, "Of course not."
Aisa finally relaxed a bit, holding her bag of soil tightly as she walked away silently.
Robin whispered to Noir, "This girl seems quite pitiful."
Noir nodded and said, "This island, Apayado, was originally the homeland of the Shandians in the Blue Sea. It was lifted to Sky Island by the Knock Up Stream."
"The rulers of Sky Island took over the island. Now, the Shandians are homeless, and Enel and the Sky Islanders view them as outsiders. Of course, they are pitiful."
Robin looked at him quietly and said, "Although I'm getting used to it, I'm still curious. How do you know so much?"
Noir scratched his head and didn't reply. Robin sighed and said, "Fine, tell me when you feel like it."
"Hehe..." Noir chuckled. Suddenly, a red glow appeared in his pupils.
Aisa seemed to sense something and quickly turned around. Noir also felt something and looked in the same direction.
Robin, puzzled, followed their gaze.
Among the trees, many white cloud balls had appeared, floating in the air.
In addition, a rotund man with yellow round glasses was smiling at them from atop the cloud balls.
"There's another one."
Noir looked in another direction, seeing a man in a purple leather jacket with hair styled like spider legs. He was biting his lower lip, his limbs contorted unnaturally.
Aisa exclaimed in shock, "Two priests! Why are Priest Satori and Gedatsu here together?"
"Are these the priests?" Robin glanced at Aisa.
She knew Noir had considerable Haki skills.
But how could an eight-year-old girl have Haki too?
What Robin didn't know was that Aisa was a rare Kenbunshoku Haki prodigy, having awakened it at birth.
Though her Kenbunshoku Haki was still basic, it was stronger than many in the Blue Sea, as if she had a head start.
Unlike Robin, who, despite Noir's guidance, had yet to master any form of Haki.
Among those present, it seemed only Robin lacked Kenbunshoku Haki...
The round priest Satori bounced on the cloud balls and said, "Interesting, you sensed our arrival. Do you have Mantra too?"
Aisa, scared, hid behind Robin, trembling, "The priests are very powerful. Even Shandia's strongest warriors struggle against them!"
"Run! We can't beat them!"
Hearing this, Noir picked his nose and mocked, "Scared? Aren't you a Shandian warrior? Is this how warriors behave?"
Aisa, still a child, blushed and shouted, "Shandian warriors are the bravest! I'm not afraid!"
Satori, the priest of the Ordeal of Balls, scoffed at Aisa, saying, "You're just a bunch of savage natives. How dare you covet God's Island? Do you deserve it?"
"That's our home!" Aisa said tearfully.
Satori, uninterested in her words, waved his hand, and dozens of cloud balls flew toward them.
Aisa shouted, "These are Satori's Ordeal of Balls, they'll explode! Dodge quickly!"
Noir smirked at Satori, who seemed confident of his victory.
Feigning a mystical pose, Noir closed his eyes and whispered, "Let me show you the power of a god..."
Everyone was stunned, and before the priests could mock him, Noir shouted:
"Fire Fist!"
A surge of orange light instantly lit up the forest. The searing heat, like a fierce tiger, formed a fist of flames that quickly consumed all the cloud balls.
The cloud balls couldn't slow the Fire Fist at all. The roaring flames enveloped Satori.
"No!!"
With a scream, the scorching flames charred Satori black.
Barely alive, Satori was barely breathing...
Dead... Dead?
Aisa stared in shock at the fallen Satori, then looked at Noir in awe.
A priest, who was so hard for Shandian warriors to deal with, had been effortlessly killed by this man.
Recalling the sudden appearance of the flames, Aisa timidly asked, "Are Y... also a god?"
Noir was about to speak when Robin patted Aisa's head and said, "He's human, just stronger than most."
Noir added, "Enel is the same, his power exceeds your imagination, but he's no god."
Aisa hesitantly nodded, pointing at the other priest, "But, what about that priest?"
The one who had been posing since his appearance. His companion had been defeated, yet he hadn't reacted at all.
Noir shouted at him, "Hey, you can't talk with your mouth clamped shut!"
Gedatsu, shocked, said, "Is that so!"
Robin muttered, "His coordination is just too poor."
Seeing his companion defeated, Gedatsu struggled to untangle his arms and said, "I'm the Priest of the Ordeal of Swamp. Blue Sea person, Y..."
Before he could finish, Noir had already flashed in front of him, smashing his armed fist down!
Gedatsu's Mantra hadn't even reacted before he lost consciousness.
Noir blew on his fist and said, "Fighting doesn't wait..."
Aisa stared blankly at the two fallen priests.
She couldn't believe it. In just a few minutes, both priests had been defeated with one move?
Aisa stammered, "Their... Mantra... why didn't it work?"
Noir looked at her in surprise and said, "You don't know?"
"It's simple. Just hit them when they're not paying attention."
Aisa stared at him blankly. Was Mantra really so easy to counter?
Noir wasn't lying.
It was like a person playing a game; a skilled and aware player like Noir faced two players with decent awareness but terrible execution.
How could that be a contest?
