Five Elders to gaze upward, contemplating the sky as the possible sanctuary of their elusive adversary.
Only this answer could explain why they had failed to trace Luke's whereabouts after such an extensive search. Finally, a clue emerged, stirring a mix of emotions in the Five Elders.
They were relieved that the veil of mystery surrounding Luke was beginning to lift. Powerful enemies were a concern, but mysterious and unpredictable ones were a true nightmare. Yet, their frustration mounted as they realized their lack of influence in the skies. Despite their vast network of military bases across the sea, their reach did not extend to Sky Island. Finding the elusive Luke there was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Nevertheless, a clue was better than the unilateral beatings they had been enduring. Their immediate plan involved deploying Cipher Pol agents to Sky Island for reconnaissance. Understanding the terrain and gathering intelligence on Luke would be their first steps. Once they had a solid grasp of the situation, they could consider a full-scale assault.
The limited knowledge they possessed about Luke made planning difficult. From what they had observed, any attempt to confront him would require the mobilization of at least three admiral-level forces. Luke's actions at Mariejois had set him apart as perhaps the most formidable adversary the World Government had ever faced.
The Five Elders oscillated between eagerness to locate Luke and apprehension about their capacity to handle him if they did.
Simultaneously, Enel's expression was as grave as theirs. Luke's precise disclosure of his origins and age was astounding. How could a native of the Blue Sea possess such intimate knowledge of him without detection? Enel, accustomed to being the observer, not the observed, was shaken.
"Who is this man? How does he know so much? What else is he aware of?" These questions plagued Enel as he stared at Luke's image on the screen.
Luke continued, revealing details of Enel's powers: "Enel is a Logia type Devil Fruit user, wielding the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. His ability to manipulate thunder and lightning makes him nearly invincible on Sky Island. He can transform into lightning, moving and attacking at the speed of light. His powers are enhanced by his Observation Haki, allowing him to perceive and predict actions within his domain. This makes him a god in his own right, ruling with an iron fist, striking down any opposition with instantaneous thunderbolts."
The audience was aghast at the scope of Enel's abilities. His surveillance covered the entire island, turning every whispered dissent into a potential death sentence. The parallels drawn to Kizaru's Light-Light Fruit only heightened the sense of dread. Enel's dominion over Angel Island was absolute, his tyranny supported by a power that seemed designed for oppression.
Luke's revelations had stripped Enel of the anonymity that shielded his tyranny. Exposed and vulnerable, Enel questioned the source of Luke's information. "Could someone close to me exposed my secrets?" he wondered, unnerved by the accuracy of the details shared.
Luke, undeterred by the tension he had ignited, pressed on with his narrative: "Six years ago, Enel destroyed Birka and ascended to rule over Angel Island. He sees his reign not as a divine right but as a mere stepping stone. Upper Yard, the supposed island of the gods, serves only as his resource cache. He has been using its resources to construct an ark, aiming for a mythical kingdom he deems worthy of his rule—Fairy Vearth."
Luke paused, allowing the implications to sink in, then posed another question to his captivated audience: "So, where is Enel's ideal kingdom, this 'Fairy Vearth'? Here are your options:
A. Red Line,
B. Wano,
C. Raftel,
D. The Moon.
You have one minute to answer."
The clock started ticking, heightening the suspense as viewers and participants alike pondered the implications of each potential answer.
