Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 23 - God's Challenge

Skypiea is located above the island of Jaya, usually, people consider this island nothing but a legend and fairy tale. Only a few people know of the existence of sky island and there are only two known ways to enter the region, hitching a ride from Knock Up Stream or entering from a place called Summit of High West. For David, he picked a third way to enter the Skypiea which is much easier as he didn't have to take a risk unlike Straw Hat Pirates or Gol D Roger. Still, David has to deal with a problem in the Skypiea, Enel the [God] who rules the Skypiea with his iron (lighting) fist. He took over the position of the [God] when he defeated the Gran Fall and forced the people of Skypiea into his rule, which was two years ago (The Year 1516). When David finally reached Heaven's Gate, the place was grand with a giant yellow star and red sign that says "Heaven's Gate". Lucky for him, he was invisible so the old lady gatekeeper known as Amazon didn't notice the newcomer from Blue Sea and managed to reach the upper level, Angel Island, a main residential district area.

David landed on Angel Beach, the ground was bouncy as it was made out of the cloud. Before he could venture into the town, David had to change his cloth as it was ruined from his fight against Moon Demon previously. So, he went to the nearest changing room and changed his clothes from black suit to one of his clothes in his inventory, a leather jacket, blue jeans and a green shirt with a Pan'ku box attached to his belt. After changing his clothes, David walked toward the market district to get some local food since this is a good opportunity to try Skypiea delicacy.

Enel's POV

Laying down in the seat, I was bored. It's been two years since I took the title of [God] and everything is going according to my plan. Ark Maxim is on schedule thanks to the laborers and conflict with Shandia is being handled by followers of [God] so I don't have to get involved. So most of the time I just use a mantra to observe people's conversation and just hope to punish 'sinners' but when I heard a new voice from Loverly Street I almost jumped out of my seat. I usually learn about incoming newcomers from Summit of High West, Heaven's Gate and Granny Amazon report ahead of time, but this person who appeared out of nowhere not to mention he is from Blue Sea. "Where did you come from? Sounds like he is all by himself and sounds like he is more interested in food than anything else. Did this guy just come to my domain to eat?"

David's POV

"Oh man, I love this dish, it's crunchy and the taste of clouds is in the meat. Not to mention this melon drink is sweet but also refreshing." I was sitting in a restaurant with a table full of dishes and drinks while the restaurant chef was busy cooking upcoming orders. I already made a currency exchange so money wasn't a problem for me and it seems locals are nice enough to give me a recommendation for tourists. When I finished my meal, I left the restaurant to go sightseeing. It was interesting to see the culture of Skypiea such as music, art and way of life even though the ruler was replaced by an idiot tyrant with overpowered devil fruit. I know if anyone badmouths about [God] they will receive lighting from Enel with no mercy, so they have to maintain the false paradise and follow the rules of Enel no matter what. 'Maybe I should just replace Enel… Na, too much hassle and responsibility. It's just better to finish my business here and go after Drug Peclo.' Finishing my thought, I start heading towards the temple of God where the lighting idiot lives.

It was easy to find the temple of God thanks to Observation Haki, the problem wasn't the location but guards in the entrance. God's army is the strongest among Skypiea and Birka, including Enel's personal four priests. When I reach the gate, two guards in white toga stop me from entering, "Who dares to enter the temple of God!" One of the guards spoke with authority, which at this point I was more amused than intimidated by the difference in strength. "My name is David, I'm here to meet so call God. I just need to see him for a second and I'll be on my way out." I could be more diplomatic but I didn't like these guys or Enel since they are the antagonists of the Skypiea arc, also they are assholes. Honestly, I could have just entered the temple using a snake and rabbit talisman but I wanted to meet the infamous Enel and see whether or not I should beat the crap out of him.

Just as guards were about to attack me, I sense something is approaching fast. Half a second later, a bolt of lightning struck the ground between me and the gate guards, there a man with long ears and drums attached to his back stood. Enel spoke immediately, "You dare to enter my realm and demand to see me? I have to admit, I was impressed by how you appear out of nowhere without anyone realizing it. So, I will give you a chance to walk out here with your life. Survive 20 of my best Divine Soldiers in combat and because I'm a merciful God, you can use any dials or weapons in the battle." A large evil smile can be seen from Enel's face as if he found a new toy to play with.

"I will accept your challenge." As I gave my answer I was smiling inside, 'I guess I can humor him for a bit. He will have a taste of Blue Sea before getting his a.s.s kicked by Luffy in the future." Enel gestures at the guards to open the gate and I can see the open courtyard with soldiers doing a mock battle. When we reach the center of the courtyard, Enel calls out to his soldiers, "Soldiers, we have a citizen of Blue Sea here and I want to show him that God's Army is superior. 20 of the best of you step out and face him and show me the fruit of your training." Just as he finished speaking, 20 of the soldiers in white robes stepped in, I knew their fighting style as they used the ax dials inside of their gloves to fight their opponent, not to mention they are weak pawns compared to agents of the Revolutionary Army.

"I rather want to finish this quickly, all of you just come at me at once so I can be on my way." I stretched as I said to the 20 soldiers, honestly I got what I wanted from Enel the moment he appeared to me. I already put the box back into my inventory so there is no reason for me to stay here. The reaction of 20 soldiers wasn't happy as they realized I didn't take this seriously, the first 5 soldiers ran towards me ready to strike me. I didn't even have to use haki or power of demons, I dodge and strike all 5 soldiers with ease, finishing them off in a second. Everyone who saw this was shocked how easily I beat 5 of their best soldiers, even Enel flinched as he realized there is a difference in strength between me and his pawns. The remaining 15 soldiers hesitated to make the first move but fear of Enel's punishment was much stronger than my strength. All 15 soldiers rush to overwhelm me but I use the ox talisman and Garp's fighting style to knock down every single one of them. I didn't kill them or anything but I'm sure they are going to need a few days to heal and therapy for a mental shock.

"So are we done? I'm just gonna go and get some souvenirs from the gift shop." I gave a big smile and proceeded to walk toward the gate, but before I could make 3 steps Enel appeared in front of me with a smirk on his face. "You surprised me, who knew people of the Blue Sea could match my elites? How about this, I will give you the honor of serving me and becoming a 5th priest of God." I have to admit, he does have a superiority complex and doesn't hold back at all. "I have to decline your job offer, I don't think your reign will last that long seeing how your soldiers are pathetic." After I spoke, I used the teleportation of Moon Demon to escape from Enel and appeared back in the Mock town. Even with lightning speed and enhanced Observation Haki can't find me 10,000 meters below from Skypiea. 'Now, I need to go to Foolshout island and deal with Drug Peclo, but first I need to find another island and deal with Thunder Demon, Jaya had enough damage from me anyway.' Finishing my thought, I use the rooster, rabbit and snake to fly towards Foolshout island.
