Seeing this sudden attack, Ian sighed helplessly, raised his divine axe, Rhitta, and at that moment, his entire body seemed to radiate the light of the sun.
He slashed directly at the Thunder Dragon while shouting: "Particle Slash!"
Instantly, a golden slash, as bright as the sun, shattered Enel's Thunder Dragon before Enel's incredulous eyes.
Without pausing, before Enel could react, it struck him, cleaving him from the sky.
"Come down."
"Impossible!!!"
Bang!
He fell like a meteorite, crashing to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust under everyone's gaze.
No one was surprised that Ian had defeated Enel; even Crocodile wore a mocking expression as he looked at the spot where Enel had fallen.
Then a few seconds later...
"Impossible!"
Another roar filled with anger erupted as Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, stood up again.
Although he bore a gruesome wound on his chest and looked much weaker, his eyes were still wide as he stared at Ian, who radiated sunlight.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Mortals cannot harm Gods!"
"I..."
This expression, this voice, made Zephyr feel that the time was almost right. "This is..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Enel, who hadn't paid any attention to him, stared intently at Ian, as if he understood something, and said with a firm tone: "I know, you are also a God, the God of Sun! No wonder the God of Sand listens to you."
As soon as these words were spoken,
Everyone: "..."
Ian: "..."
They all fell silent. Now, it was their turn to look at Enel in disbelief.
Even Ian's lips twitched, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Finally, he sighed helplessly, looked at Crocodile, and said, "Alright, Crocodile, are you done? If you're done, we'll leave."
"Of course."
Hearing Ian's words, Crocodile took out a new cigar, slowly lit it, took a deep drag, and after exhaling a smoke ring, a smile appeared on his face.
He seemed to be in a very good mood and said, "God of Sun! Hahaha!"
Ian: "..."
…
After explaining everything, Ian took Crocodile, Ace, and Nami on Kuma's express to the Kingdom of Alabasta.
As for the Sky Island matter, it will be handled by Zephyr; after all, that old guy won't be leaving anytime soon.
Having made a fortune, he plans to recruit soldiers on the Sky Island, especially after seeing the Shandians.
Zephyr is even more eager to recruit these warriors into his fleet.
As for Enel, after being hit by Ian's axe and then punched by Zephyr, he's much more obedient; his eyes are now filled with confusion.
He probably never imagined he would encounter so many Gods!
He looked like his entire worldview had collapsed.
Zephyr also tried to invite the young Ace to join his fleet, but Ace refused without hesitation, stating he didn't want to be a marine.
This answer was perfectly reasonable; if this guy really wanted to be a marine, his grandfather wouldn't be having so many headaches.
Finally, Zephyr punched him and said, "Hahaha, my fleet is nothing like your old rascal grandfather!"
After that, he stopped talking to Ace.
Meanwhile, back in the Kingdom of Alabasta, Ian spent a day there before boarding a ship arranged by Crocodile and leading a small team to the Little Garden.
However, Crocodile didn't accompany him this time; upon returning to Alabasta, he received an invitation from the king.
Initially, he intended to refuse the invitation, but for some reason, he decided to go anyway.
Perhaps he had become addicted to playing the hero of Alabasta?
Although Ian sensed that Crocodile wanted him to go out to sea as a pirate and work together to accomplish something big, Ian, now a father, had no intention of becoming a pirate and simply ignored the invitation.
...
Little Garden is located in the sea area near the Grand Line's starting point. It's a huge island full of primitive beauty and mystery.
It still preserves prehistoric landscapes and is home to some dinosaurs and extinct species.
For scholars studying prehistoric civilizations and biology, Little Garden is a treasure trove.
At this moment, having arrived for many days on this island, Ian, basking in the sunlight, faced the prehistoric forest before him. His eyes widened, and without hesitation, he swung his divine axe, Rhitta.
A powerful shockwave instantly swept forward, turning everything in its path to dust, while simultaneously avoiding any creatures he didn't want to harm.
This is the Hakoku Sovereignty!!!
As the attack landed, the two temporary instructors, Dorry the Blue Ogre and Brogy the Red Ogre, stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the tiny human beneath their feet, barely the size of their palms.
Their voices were filled with shock as they asked: "You little guy, you really learned it?"
"I did learn it."
Ian sheathed his axe, nodded, and said: "It's not that difficult!"
"Hahaha, of course! This is a giant's technique, only usable thanks to the giant's physical advantages."
Dorry laughed, then looked at Ian curiously and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to learn it with such a small body? You know, only giants can unleash such power; no one else can do it. How did you do it?"
"That's right, Mr. Ian, how did you do it?"
Ace, whose hands were bleeding and who was wincing in pain, also asked curiously: "Why doesn't my attack have your power? And I got injured. Does that mean I still haven't learned it?"
"You've already learned it."
"Then why can't I do what you do?"
"Nothing special."
Ian, carrying the axe, laughed: "Miracles happen with brute force!"
Under the sunlight, he possessed limitless stamina and super-fast regenerative abilities.
"That's a giant's technique. Of course, you can't use it to that extent."
Brogy, beside him, also laughed loudly: "This kid's physical abilities are almost at the level of a giant. He can use giant techniques. Little guy, you'd better not use them recklessly or your body will break."
After saying this, he looked at Ian, curiously stroking his chin: "Ian, do you have the giant's blood? But why are you so short?"
"... I don't have the giant's blood."
Ian was speechless and said irritably, "It's the power of a Devil Fruit."
"The power of Devil Fruit? Hahaha, no wonder."
Hearing Ian's explanation, Dorry and Brogy nodded knowingly before saying, "Devil Fruits always have some strange abilities. It's not surprising if someone eats a Devil Fruit that gives them the strength of a giant."
