chapter 57

"Such a strong aura, but… not as good as the boss!"

I don't know if it was intentional, but Nami's whispering voice sounded particularly harsh in the silent forest at night.

"Wow…are we not as good as him? That's really exciting."

"God's heart is above us, maybe that's why he asked us to come together."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go together! The trial from the four priests has officially begun–"

Nami's comment did not anger the four priests. Instead, it made them look interested, serious, solemn, or full of fighting spirit.

Shingon is the Observation Haki, and Observation Haki can indeed sense the strength of living beings.

Of course, this strength refers to physical fitness, not the comprehensive strength including the ability of the fruit.

Before completing the tenth enhancement, Dewey's physical fitness was enough to pull a fifty-meter-long dinosaur with his bare hands, not to mention his current physical fitness.

Even though the four priests' mental cultivation was not yet complete, they could still sense the dangerous aura emanating from Dewey.

Therefore, as Ohm's voice fell, the four of them turned into a trail of afterimages and rushed down towards Dewey and the other two.

But the next moment, the four of them immediately stopped and quickly dispersed.

Dewey's palm was placed on Qiu Shui's sword handle, and a very scary scene immediately appeared in the minds of the four priests.

"Shua——"

Dewey drew his sword at an extremely fast speed and swung out two huge blue slashes in the shape of a crescent arc, roaring towards the four priests.

Boom boom

The four priests who had foreseen this scene dodged the attack very cleverly.

But the towering trees behind them were not so lucky.

The green slash was like an indestructible blade, slicing in half several towering trees that were hundreds of meters tall and as thick as dozens of people hugging. The trees slammed heavily to the ground, raising an astonishing amount of dust and violent vibrations.

"Iron Whip!"

"Rope Cloud!"

"Jet Fist!"

"Impact—"

After dodging Dewey's slashing attack, the four priests took advantage of the cover of night and dust to quietly approach Dewey, surrounded him from different directions, and used their best moves to attack from different angles.

Then, another very scary scene reappeared in their minds as the four priests approached.

This time, their expressions were no longer calm, but extremely terrified.

"…Too slow."

Dewey said calmly after sheathing his sword after making a slashing blow.

The blurry figure in the night and fog suddenly disappeared.

"Puff, puff, puff—"

Without using domineering aura to predict attacks, Dewey was able to accurately locate the positions of the four priests by simply listening to the energy of "Breath of All Things". After completing the tenth strengthening of his body, he burst out at a speed that the four priests' minds could predict but their bodies could not react to. It was as if he merged into the darkness and suddenly disappeared.

There was no flash of knife, but there was the sound of cloth tearing on their bodies.

Four arrow-like columns of blood shot out from the bodies of the four priests.

A long and deep knife mark, with broken internal organs and bones visible even in the darkness, appeared in front of the four priests.

Bang, bang, bang, bang——

The sounds of falling overlapped, and the four priests who had been fatally injured fell to the ground.

Swish——!

Almost at the moment when the four priests fell to the ground, the dark sky was torn apart by the blazing blue-white light.

The blue-white electric light turned into a huge beam of light, falling from top to bottom, its target locked on Dewey, who had already put some distance between himself and Kalina and Namei when he reappeared.

The battle was so fierce that even Enel's lightning power had no time to provide support.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg of Dewey's strength.

"Boom——!"

When the blue-white light beam condensed and fell, tearing through the darkness and drowning Dewey's figure, the deafening thunder slowly appeared.

"Boss!!"

Seeing Dewey's figure being submerged, Kalina, who had no Observation Haki, lost her composure and shouted anxiously.

Seeing that Karina was about to go off script and rush out, Nami quickly grabbed her arm and shook her head gently at her.

Seeing Nami's calm expression, Kalina regained her composure and quickly looked around, searching for Dewey with the help of the blue and white electric light.

When the thunder and the beam of light slowly dissipated, a huge hole appeared on the ground, like a chimney, emitting mist that could be seen even in the dark night.

Even in the mist, there were still some residual electric snakes flickering from time to time, emitting a 'sizzling' sound of electricity.

The two women, who had regained their composure, couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

If that beam of light had fallen on them and Kalina hadn't reacted, wouldn't she have been dead for sure?

This is the legendary Thunder Fruit, which is said to be the strongest in the natural system! ?

"Shua——"

Before Kalina could find Dewey, another dazzling blue light appeared in the night sky.

This is not a pillar of lightning, but a figure condensed into a shining light, slowly falling down.

Like leaves, they fell very slowly, without any fear of sudden attack.

The figure is a man, wearing a white towel on his head, with his upper body bare and his lower body in bloomers. There is a thunder drum on his back, a golden stick in his hand, and rings on his bare toes. He is the ruler of Sky Island, one of the super lucky people in the world, and the user of the Thunder Fruit, which is said to be the strongest in the natural system – "God" Enelu.

"You're not dead yet? You're quite lucky. It seems like your cultivation is not good enough."

Enel landed beside the four priests and kicked the weak Ohm. Instead of being angry at being killed instantly, he showed a disdainful smile. Then he turned his head and looked at the figure that seemed to merge with the night and walked from a distance. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are very strong to be able to kill them who have learned the Heart Sutra in seconds… Qinghai people, this god will give you a chance, do you want to become my priest?"

"Remember, you only have one chance…"

As soon as the invitation was sent, a cruel smile appeared on Enel's face, and he said, "This is God's mercy!"

"Heh… who do you think you are?"

A sneer that only Kalina and the other girl could understand came into the ears of Kalina and the other girl and Enel as Dewey appeared under the light of the lamp shell, as a signal and provocation.

Immediately afterwards, Dewey rushed towards Eneel with a knife, and Kalina and the other two girls approached at the same time.
