Conis stared at Noir in horror and quickly covered his mouth, saying, "The God can hear your voice, stop talking!"

Noir, unable to speak with his mouth covered, helplessly removed her hand and asked, "I was just asking."

Conis whispered, "The God resides on God's Island, the sanctuary Upper Yard. It's filled with Vearth and huge trees."

Robin asked in confusion, "Vearth? What's that?"

Conis's eyes showed longing as she said, "It's the most precious thing on the sky island, only found in Upper Yard."

Noir and Robin exchanged puzzled looks.

Suddenly, an idea struck Noir, and he activated his Suna Suna no Mi ability, causing a handful of yellow soil to appear in his hand.

Noir held out the soil and asked, "Is this it?"

Conis was dumbfounded by the sand that appeared out of nowhere, gently pinching a bit of it.

"This is Vearth?!" Pagaya and Conis exclaimed in shock.

Pagaya rubbed the soil repeatedly and questioned, "It feels a bit different from the Vearth in Upper Yard, softer and finer."

Noir asked Conis for a bottle, filled it with sand, and said, "This is sand. The soil in Upper Yard has moisture and nutrients, so there's a slight difference."

Robin pondered aloud, "The sky island has various clouds but no soil, which makes it very valuable."

Pagaya took the bottle of sand like it was a treasure, while Conis couldn't hide her curiosity and asked, "Noir, who exactly are you? How can you create Vearth out of thin air?"

Noir looked at the curious Conis and said, "This is the power of a Devil Fruit. Your God is just someone who ate a Devil Fruit."

"Devil Fruit?" Conis had never heard the term.

Noir smiled and said, "They're rare on the sky island, but in the Blue Sea, many people who eat Devil Fruits gain these so-called godly powers."

Conis's belief in her God seemed shaken by Noir's words. "Really?"

"Of course."

Noir gave Robin a signal and said, "Robin, show her."

Robin lightly knocked on the table, and amidst pink petals, a delicate hand appeared.

A literal hand reveal!

Pagaya was so scared he collapsed, while Conis, though frightened, was also curious, staring at Robin's hand.

Conis tried touching Robin's hand and said, "This is also a Devil Fruit power. There are generally three types of abilities."

"One can transform into an animal, another grants superpowers like Robin's, and the third lets you become an element, like me."

Noir pointed at himself, and Robin playfully slapped him on the face.

Noir's handsome face burst open, revealing a body made of sand, which then reformed and healed.

Conis was startled by Robin's action but soon understood upon seeing Noir's body.

Pagaya, recalling something, pondered.

He remembered that the previous God's horse could also transform into a bird...

Conis quickly grasped the Blue Sea knowledge, realizing that the invincible God was powerful because of a Devil Fruit.

A power to control lightning?

Conis, still confused, asked, "But..."

Noir, seeing Conis's hesitation, immediately knew what she wanted to ask and replied:

"The ability to monitor the sky island is called Observation Haki. Mastering it can even let one see a short period into the future."

Noir paused and continued, "Otherwise, its usual function is to sense things beyond the reach of eyes and ears."

"For example, outside your house right now, there's a group of people crawling on the ground, wearing berets."

Conis was shocked and quickly ran outside to check, followed by Pagaya.

After opening the door and taking a few steps, Conis saw the White Beret troops crawling forward.

The White Beret troops were the direct subordinates of the God's priests and usually appeared where sky island laws had been violated.

Conis nervously asked, "Captain, what are you doing here?"

The White Beret captain stood up and said, "There are criminals from Angel Island here. They have illegally entered and need to pay a fine!"

Noir and Robin walked out of the house. The White Beret captain looked at them and said, "Hey! Blue Sea people, you have violated the God's law and committed an 11th-degree crime!"

"You must pay ten times the fine!"

Noir counted on his fingers. Two people, ten times the fine, that's two million Berries.

It's not like they didn't have the money. This small fine could be paid for fun.

However!

He wouldn't play along!

Expecting Noir to take out money for such a ridiculous fine? Impossible!

Do they know who his sister is?! Noir thought angrily.

Noir picked his nose and said, "What if I don't want to pay? What will you do?"

The White Beret captain shouted angrily, "You're challenging the God's authority!"

He waved his hand, and the troops behind him all stood up, glaring at Noir.

Conis fearfully tugged on Noir's sleeve, advising, "Noir, if you don't have money, I can pay for you. Don't go against the God."

Noir sighed and said, "It's not about the money. There's no such thing as a God, only powerful people who call themselves gods."

Even the monstrous Four Emperors didn't claim to be gods. Enel, living on a small sky island, was just a frog in a well.

He hadn't experienced the harshness of the Blue Sea.

The White Beret captain, seeing Noir repeatedly challenge the God's dignity, angrily ordered, "Arrest this Blue Sea person! Don't let him insult the God!"

The White Beret troops responded in unison, stepping on the spray shells to fly into the sky, attacking Noir.

Noir sneered, about to act, but Robin stopped him.

Robin smiled, crossing her hands on her chest, and petals began to flutter.

Conis and Pagaya couldn't believe their eyes.

The fierce troops rushed forward but were suddenly stopped in mid-air by hands growing out and breaking their joints.

The airborne troops fell like dumplings, completely defeated.

Noir looked at Robin and said with a smile, "Your ability can grow more hands now, huh."

He wondered if she could grow something else...

Conis and Pagaya were stunned.

Besides the shock of seeing the soldiers defeated, Conis also felt a longing for these mysterious powers.

Was the Blue Sea really full of people with superpowers?

Could she also have such incredible abilities?
