****************
Enel, bathed in thunder, proclaimed words of judgment that seemed to carry a divine brilliance.
A massive bird formed from lightning shot toward Colt and the others.
Robin and Nami's faces turned pale. They could tell the power behind such an attack was fearsome.
The power of thunder was something people didn't understand since ancient times. But the one thing about it was its speed and destructive potential were massive.
Colt stepped forward, and thunder bloomed in his hands as he shot it forward.
The two torrents of electricity collided instantly.
Hiss!
Enel's 30 Million Volt Thunderbird attack was shredded like flimsy tissue paper!
Under the perception of his mantra, or as was known to the residents of the world as [Kenbunshoku Haki], Enel's expression shifted.
"You... you also possess the power of lightning!"
Enel's conceit stemmed from his belief that his ability was unique.
Colt's display deeply wounded his pride.
"You must die!" Enel roared.
For him, this meant that if he didn't kill Colt, then he could take his title as a god.
Colt shook his head, smirking.
"Your vision is too narrow. The power of lightning is common where I come from. There's no need to act so shocked."
He wasn't lying—thunder-based abilities were widespread in the ninja world.
Even chunnins could use them.
One particular genin was even a master of it. Technically, but still.
Colt's flying feathers spread out, turning black and crackling with lightning.
"Do you want to compete?" Colt teased.
If Sasuke or the others were here, they'd pity Enel.
One of Colt's quirks was defeating enemies in the domains they took the most pride in.
He had done so, so many times, they had lost count.
"60 Million Volts Thunder Dragon!" Enel snarled, slamming the drums on his shoulders.
Blinding light illuminated the land as a massive dragon roared down from the skies, aiming for Colt.
Unfazed, Colt's flying feathers swiftly reassembled, forming a thunder dragon.
Each scale of the dragon shimmered with cold, electric brilliance.
The two beasts collided in a thunderous explosion.
Boom!
Debris flew as terrifying shockwaves swept through the air, shaking the ground violently.
Residents across the island felt the tremors and looked up in fear, mistaking it for the wrath of the god that ruled over them.
"How did Luffy, who just entered the Grand Line, manage to defeat Enel?" Colt wondered.
Despite Enel's clearly refined mastery over his Thunder Fruit, Colt found it astounding that someone like Luffy could overcome him.
'Of course, being rubber, he could counter hi, but still, it was nothing short of a miracle for him to do so'
It seemed the protagonist's aura was truly absurd.
Colt increased his power and chakra output.
His thunder dragon shattered Enel's, then crashed into the self-proclaimed god.
Enel's body, now covered with countless tiny cuts, bled profusely.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Damn it!" Enel howled. "How can you hurt me?!"
It had been so long since he felt pain—a humbling reminder of his mortality he so desperately tried to forget.
In a fury, he bellowed, "200 Million Volts Thunder God!"
His body swelled as he transformed into his strongest form, the Thunder God.
Colt's expression turned cold.
"Let's end this. You're not my target this time."
He drew Kaminari, its sharp edge gleaming with lethal energy, and unleashed a devastating slash.
The blade's energy streaked toward Enel, who, sensing his doom, tried desperately to dodge.
But the world seemed to crush him in place, forcing him to take the full brunt of the attack.
The island trembled violently again.
Nami and Robin feared Sky Island would collapse. Thankfully, Colt had held back just enough.
Enel fell heavily to the ground, battered and defeated.
Robin's eyes glinted with curiosity. "I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be this powerful."
"I held back this time," Colt replied casually.
Nami smirked, recalling past battles where Colt's sword strikes obliterated enemies from a distance before they even saw him.
"This guy got off lightly."
"There are very few people in this world who can make me draw my sword. Enel doesn't qualify, I just felt like using it" Colt remarked as they approached the fallen god.
Enel struggled to stand, the ten deep gashes across his chest dripping blood.
"A god... defeated by a human from the Blue Sea…"
"God?" Nami scoffed. "Look at you. There are plenty of people in the sea stronger than you."
Enel's face contorted in denial. "Impossible! I don't believe it! I possess the power of the sky domain!"
Colt, however, saw potential in him. While Enel's pride grated on him, the Thunder Fruit's abilities—paired with Enel's talents in its development and his mastery of [Kenbunshoku Haki]—made him valuable.
"Nami," Colt interjected, stopping her retort. He turned to Enel.
"She's right. While you're strong, there are plenty of people in the Blue Sea who can kill you without effort."
Enel fell silent, unable to refute the words of the man who had just crushed him.
"If you're content being narrow-minded and ignorant, you can stay here. But if you want to grow stronger and truly master your powers, only I can help you."
Colt's words struck deep, challenging Enel's pride.
Enel hesitated. Because the underlying meaning was for him to work for this guy.
For years, he had been worshipped as a god.
Surrendering now and working under this guy felt like a betrayal… to himself.
"Let me take you somewhere," Colt offered.
"At that moment, you'll naturally understand. If not…" His eyes turned sharp. "I'll kill you myself."

****************
Facing Colt's unpredictable actions, even Enel was left speechless.
"Is there really no other option?" Enel thought helplessly.
Colt took out a pair of seastone handcuffs and secured them on Enel.
Without hesitation, he opened the space with his ocular technique and sent Enel directly somewhere.
"Take this opportunity to reform yourself," Colt said casually.
"Earn your place as a reliable tool in the future."
Colt held high hopes for Enel.
With enough training, Enel could possibly one day achieve Admiral-level strength.
However, for now, there was a long way to go—despite Enel's impressive fruit abilities and observational skills, his physical conditioning was far too weak.
With Enel subdued, the obstacles on the Sky Island that might have been in their way, had been cleared.
Colt also secured Enel's amassed treasures, including the Ark Maxim. The ship capable of flight.
When Robin saw the Ark, a ship made almost entirely of gold, she was utterly stunned.
Nami, on the other hand, screamed in delight and rushed forward.
"It's all gold!" she exclaimed.
Hugging a golden door panel tightly, she declared, "This is the happiest moment of my life!"
Colt, unimpressed, picked her up by her nape like a cat and scolded, "Do you seriously want to sail this ship across the seas?"
The problems with that were obvious enough…
But not for someone who had berry marks in their eyes, like Nami.
"Why not?" Nami asked, her eyes sparkling with hope.
"If you're okay with every pirate in the world chasing us, then sure." Colt shrugged.
The thought of pirates flocking to them, swords raised in fury, made Nami shudder.
Colt smirked. "I'm pretty sure you can't handle it. Let me take care of this."
He reassured her, "I'll hold onto the Ark Maxim for now. In a few years' time, you'll be able to sail it freely."
With that, Colt stashed away the golden ark instantly and turned to Robin.
"Let's check out the historical Poneglyph."
His abilities were pretty much ignored by the two women as they saw them multiple times to question them.
Colt then led Robin and Nami to the ruins, where an enormous golden bell stood in the center, wrapped in vines.
Its brilliance was barely dimmed by the layers of greenery.
"Universal Pull."
The golden bell levitated into the air, revealing a massive stone tablet hidden beneath.
Calmly, Colt approached it, leaving Robin to inspect the text.
Meanwhile, Nami tugged on Colt's sleeve with a pleading look. "Can't we melt this bell? I'll take just 10% of the gold!"
Colt rubbed his chin thoughtfully before shaking his head. "No."
Nami was devastated.
Seeing Nami on the verge of tears, he added, "There's scattered gold elsewhere. Take as much as you want from that."
Nami's mood instantly shifted from despair to joy as she rushed to gather bricks—golden bricks, to be precise.
Using [Sukunahikona], Colt shrank the golden bell to a manageable size, transforming it into a decorative ornament. With a satisfied nod, he tied it to his waist with a rope.
"It would be a waste to melt down something with so much historical significance and beauty," Colt remarked.
Robin, after carefully studying the Poneglyph, approached Colt with a mix of curiosity and awe.
"I know what it says," Colt said before she could speak.
Robin looked surprised. "You can read the Poneglyphs?"
"Nope. To me, it looks like random lines," Colt replied nonchalantly.
"But I know what it says: something about one of the Ancient Weapons and Gol D. Roger."
Robin was speechless.
At this point, she wasn't even surprised by Colt's mysterious abilities.
She nodded her head, but she could clearly see that he wasn't interested so she remained silent.
After securing the historical tablet and clearing the ruins, the group wrapped up their Sky Island mission in less than a day.
However, they weren't in a hurry to leave. Visiting the Sky Island was a rare opportunity, and they intended to enjoy it fully.
The earlier battle between Colt and Enel had been deafening, attracting attention from the Sky Island residents.
But seeing the four priests defeated and no response from the temple, the people began to piece things together.
A little girl timidly approached Robin.
"Beautiful sister, did you defeat God?"
Robin crouched down with a warm smile, gently patting the girl's head.
"No, it was that handsome guy over there. He defeated the bad fake god, and thus he wouldn't be able to hurt you or anyone else anymore."
The crowd that was listening erupted into cheers; their gratitude palpable.
Nami found herself lost in thought.
The scene reminded her of the time Colt defeated Arlong in Cocoyasi Village. The villagers' reaction had been the same.
Half a year had passed since then, and her growth was undeniable.
Now, she could probably take down Arlong herself, without Colt's help.
Daily sparring and training with Colt had transformed her.
Though her playful arguments with him continued, they were more a reflection of camaraderie than weakness.
Even Gan Fall, the former "God" of Sky Island, approached Colt with tears in his eyes, thanking him profusely.
Colt, however, waved him off.
"No need for thanks. Just focus on being a good leader instead of a god."
He then moved on to serious stuff.
When Colt mentioned needing various shellfish, the Sky Islanders eagerly brought forth their collections.
By the end, Colt had gathered over a thousand shellfish of all types. He carefully selected the most exquisite ones, intending to gift them to Hinata and the others.
After ten days of sightseeing and relaxation, the trio finally descended from Sky Island to the Blue Sea, their bags filled with treasures and memories.
As soon as they landed, Colt's transponder snail rang incessantly.
