"Trying to attack head-on? It's useless. I can see you."
Before Nobunaga's attack arrived, Ohm had already held the Iron Cloud to his chest, his expression indifferent, waiting for the attack to come.
However, the next second, a look of astonishment appeared on Ohm's face. Nobunaga did attack immediately, but along with him came a flurry of leaves from the fallen tree. Countless leaves danced in the forest, tearing through the air with a whooshing sound, clearly extremely sharp.
Nobunaga's figure was obscured by the falling leaves.
Ohm's usually confident expression finally showed signs of panic.
At the same time, Nobunaga's voice came from the falling leaves all around, "What you call 'the first of the first' is just a prediction, not a foresight of the future."
"According to the leader's assessment, it's just the most basic level of Observation Haki."
"By listening to the opponent's thoughts through the mind network, and then predicting the direction of the attack by capturing the opponent's actions before the attack."
"therefore...
"As long as you launch an attack that covers the entire map and you can't avoid it, you can naturally crack its mystery."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tips of the countless flying leaves slowly turned around, pointing directly at Ohm's location. Countless leaves shot towards Ohm like small flying swords.
With a horrified expression, Ohm struggled to hold on amidst the rain of falling leaves. He used his Iron Cloud sword to parry, but how could a single sword possibly withstand such a dense barrage of attacks!
His body was constantly injured by flying leaves, his skin was torn open, blood flowed freely, and his expression was one of pain.
Nobunaga continued, "And..."
19
"If I clear my mind, empty my brain, and attack with my body's instincts, your mental network won't be able to capture my thoughts, right...?"
""
"Use your body's intuition to feel the breath of all things."
After the leaves fell, Nobunaga slowly closed his eyes and began to use his body to sense his surroundings; his mind's eye had been formed!
He switched to holding the knife with both hands, his expression calm. The blade slowly sliced through the air, and the next second, an enormous sword aura shot out from the blade, cleaving the air in two. Wherever the sword aura passed, everything was neatly cut.
"Wow!"
The falling leaves were split in two, and so was Ohm's body!
A clear bloodstain appeared on his forehead, running from top to bottom, and then his body slowly fell backward, and he breathed his last.
This priest, who called himself the God of Swords, fell forever.
Clang—
Nobunaga sheathed his sword, a hint of delight on his face. "Although I wasted a lot of time, I gained a great deal."
He finally mastered the Flying Slash and entered the realm of a Great Swordsman!
"Let's keep going. Hopefully, I won't be the last one."
He followed the direction the holy puppy had fled and headed toward the heart of the rainforest.
The Swamp Trial is inhabited by the priest Gedaz, who controls the 50% survival rate of the "Swamp Trial".
His attack method involves using a "Wind-Spitting Shell" to accelerate his punches, creating a jet-like iron fist that blasts intruders into a swamp cloud with "swamp" properties. The more the intruder struggles, the deeper they sink until they die.
However, in the present-day swamp forest, the swamp clouds have almost completely evaporated.
At this moment, in the very center of the swamp, an enormous pit appeared, flames rising from it, its edges still radiating heat and hissing as it rubbed against the air.
What is the result of fusing and evolving the Bomb-Bomb Fruit and the Light-Heavy Fruit?
Feitan provided the answer—it's the Collapsing Planet Bomb!
A massive bomb rained down from the sky, its violent explosion sweeping everything away and causing the entire swamp to collapse. Swamp clouds and jet-powered iron fists were utterly ineffective against this terrifying blast radius.
Just like Uvogin, Feitan also chose a wide-range attack to break through the enemy's mind control!
The swamp dried up, leaving only the ground, and the surrounding area was shrouded in white mist rising from the explosion and fire. Feitan, expressionless, determined his direction and slowly walked towards the edge of the swamp.
On the other side, the Trial of the Rope, a harsh trial with only a 3% survival rate, is overseen by the Sky Knight, a demon who wears a pilot's hat and goggles, rides the fire-breathing bird "Cross-legged," and wields the fire gun "Hot Bey."
However, at this moment, Shura lay on the ground like a dead dog, on the verge of death.
From the moment Phinks discovered the rope cloud he had buried all around him, he could not defeat Phinks.
The difference in strength between the two was too great; no matter what, Shura's attacks could not break through Phinks' defenses.
Phinks, too, used his wide-range attack, Heaven's Reversal, to blast down Shura.
Just then, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Feitan emerged from the dense forest behind them.
"So the back of the trial is open, huh? I thought there would be some monsters."
Uvogin looked at Phinks with a disappointed expression.
""
"What's with that look in your eyes? You seem very dissatisfied."
Finks turned to look at the three of them, veins popping out on his forehead.
"Of course I'm annoyed. I passed all the trials, but I still ended up meeting you in the forest. I don't know what the point is~"
"However," Uvogin said, glancing at the still-breathing Shura on the ground with a mischievous look, "you haven't finished dealing with this yet, you're so slow, Phinks~"
"Is the opponent too strong?"
"hateful!"
"I'm just enjoying the fight!"
Phinks looked annoyed and was about to finish off the enemy in front of him.
The next second, the expressions of the four people present became solemn, and they looked up at the sky!
"Boom!"
A massive bolt of lightning struck down without warning, aimed directly at the Asura lying on the ground.
It swayed as if under the might of Heaven!
Under the lightning strike, Shura couldn't even utter a wail; his body turned to ashes in an instant and disappeared into the lightning!
The flashes of lightning illuminated the extremely solemn expressions on the faces of Uvogin and his companions.
"When...?!"
There was absolutely no sense of danger in the surroundings!
Uvogin's circle was open! Its radius was several hundred meters, yet he did not sense any enemies within that radius.
In other words...
This terrifying attack could only have come from somewhere hundreds of meters away.
But... is that even possible?
As the lightning faded, a terrifying crater nearly a hundred meters in diameter appeared before the four of them. The lightning had pierced through the soil of the island, and the four of them could even faintly see the sea of clouds at the bottom of the island through the crater.
"Losers have no value in living; they are people unblessed by God, don't you agree?"
The four of them froze, turning around to look at a figure that had appeared under a tree not far away.
He sat on a floating ball, one hand supporting his chin, his eyes taking in the four of them with great interest. He was bare-chested, pale-skinned, and had distinctive long earlobes and four-ringed thunder drums.
In an instant, the four recognized the person in front of them as Enel, the "god" of Skypiea, whom Kuroro called the perfect Devil Fruit user!
Enel sized up the four of them, a playful look in his eyes, and said calmly, "Face God."
"Why not kneel?"
The next second, four bolts of lightning struck down without warning, hitting Uvogin and his companions. Blood instantly spilled from their mouths, and they were forced to the ground, struggling to stay upright.
Enel watched this scene, a smile playing on his lips. "That's more like it. That's how one should greet a god."
He stepped down and walked on the mud, his feet not touching the soil at all, and slowly walked up to Uvogin and his companions, who were being crushed by the lightning, and looked down at them.
"Mortals who have come here for unknown reasons."
"You only have two choices: join me... or... die."
