The two of them prepared to attack the incoming soldiers, but before they could, the voice of their captain stopped them. "Hold, both of you," Luffy said before he jumped and landed on the empty cloud path between the two of them.
Luffy then pointed his right palm forward, towards the incoming soldier. The soldiers saw Luffy doing this, but they paid him no heed because they saw no signs of Luffy's attack.
But suddenly an invisible force hit the incoming White Barret army and knocked them all backwards and out of the path of the clouds they were riding on. Captain White Barret, Conis, Pagaya, and the rest of Luffy's crew were stunned to see.
"What was that?" Nojiko asked.
"That's another level of Armament haki," Luffy replied as he turned around and looked at the two of them. "But, the point is not that, you are not ready to train it yet" he added, inserting his hand into his coat, then took out two blindfolds that caused Nojiko and Zoro to stare at Luffy as if he was crazy because they knew what he was going to say to them.
"this, put this on" said Luffy, handing them a blindfold, while at the same time ignoring their facial expressions.
"You're not serious, are you?" Zoro asked while looking at his captain. Luffy simply looked at her and held out both blindfolds with an indecipherable expression on his face.
"We could die!" Nojiko Shouts.
"Then don't die," Luffy replied as he shrugged his shoulders, causing everyone's jaws to fall. "You all need to get stronger quickly. I plan to conquer the Grand Line, defeat the four Yonkou, and become the pirate king," Luffy said in a serious tone.
"And to do that, I need the strongest people as my crew," he added, causing the two of them to stare at Luffy for a moment before Zoro shrugged his shoulders and immediately used a blindfold.
"You're not serious about trying this, are you?!" Shouted Nojiko /question while turning her attention to Zoro who was in the process of tying the blindfold around her eyes.
"If this will help me become the strongest swordsman in the world, then I will" Zoro said loudly. "If this kills me, then my destiny is not to become the strongest swordsman" he added, tightening his blindfold.
"I'm surrounded by crazy people" Nojiko grumbled to herself before taking the blindfold off Luffy. "As far as you know, if I die here today, I'll haunt you to madness" Nojiko said resentfully, causing Luffy to laugh and immediately return to his previous position.
When Luffy returned, he turned his attention towards the other crew who were staring at Zoro and Nojiko with worried expressions on their faces. "You all have nothing to worry about" cried Luffy, drawing their attention.
"Your turn will also arrive," Luffy added with a grin, causing the bodies of all the crew on board to goosebumps.
‘Robin will probably be the most difficult to train in this way, as he is able to get eyeballs out wherever he wants, he said,’ thought Luffy in his heart before returning his attention to the upcoming fight. Contrary to what his crew might think in this situation, Luffy would not let any of them die.
After hearing the thunderous roar in the sky, it made Luffy realize that this Skypiea ruler who was called God had Devil Fruit related to lightning. Luffy deliberately did not use the power of his demonic fruit because he wanted to see the expression on the poor bastard's face when he saw the power of his Logia.
Giving a new fact that the fruit belongs to this Enel is a category of paramecia or Mythical-Zoan type, both possibilities it does not pose a threat to Luffy, Luffy, but both fruits can get a fairly high price if they are sold on the open market and can even be higher if on the black market.
Luffy smiled to himself at the thought of that, but soon turned serious once more when he saw the fight was about to begin.
Captain White Bareet stared at his men rising back into the path of the clouds, preparing to attack once more. He had no idea what had just happened to his men.
As they attacked, getting ready to give the punishment from God Enel, the leader of this group of villains leaped forward and merely pointed his palm forward.
At first it seemed like nothing had happened, but not until two seconds later were all his troops sent flying backwards as if they were being hit by an invisible force. The White Bareet leader did not understand what was going on.
'Blue Sea dwellers were supposed to have weaker strength when they first arrived at a sky island due to being unfamiliar with the thin oxygen present at this altitude,' thought the captain to himself while staring at Luffy with narrowed eyes.
‘How strong are you down there to be able to come this far and still have the strength to look out for,’ the captain wonders to himself.
"However it doesn't matter, they're all just ants in the eyes of the almighty God Enel" the captain whispered to himself before focusing his attention back on the upcoming fight.
Nojiko positioned the three-piece stick behind his back while trying to use his four remaining senses along with haki observation to try and figure out where the attack would come from.
Zoro on the other hand only used his two swords instead of the usual three. In his eyes, these soldiers were not worth all of his abilities as an experienced swordsman, Zoro was sure he was able to dodge any attacks that came and counterattack his opponent.
This does not mean that Zoro will not use his true observation, he will definitely use it, but he is also confident that he is able to survive even without using observation.
Both Zoro and Nojiko calmed their nerves and began trying to sense their enemies with haki observations. When the soldiers were about 50 feet away from the two of them, the two ran forward at incredible speed to meet their enemy.
Nojiko swung his three-piece staff diagonally from right to left across his body, effectively slamming the top of his staff into the head of one of the soldiers holding the two swords.
He then saltoed forward and landed on a different cloud path, where he was now surrounded by his enemies on all sides.
Nojiko then started twisting the three-part stick around her body like a pair of nunchucks before she jumped up and twisted her body in midair then started spinning in the air before she screamed.
"Demonics Whirlwind!" nojiko Shouts. Immediately after he shouted his attack, dozens of blades of wind shot out in all directions, hitting the soldiers who had previously surrounded him.
The number of wind blades was more than the soldiers surrounding it, causing most of the sharp air pressure attacks hitting the nearby unwary soldiers.
‘That's a very strong attack,’ thought Luffy to himself when he saw Nojiko's attack. ‘But the attack had no control,’ added Luffy as he turned around and looked at the incision marks that were in the clouds beside him.
Several Nojiko wind blade attacks shot towards Luffy and the surrounding area, it was clear that it was Nojiko's new attack and he did not have full control of the attack.
Fortunately, there was no blade straying towards the crew on board, who were watching Nojiko's performance in awe, especially Nami.
Nami could not believe that her sister became this strong, it made Nami want to become stronger as well so that she would not lose to her sister.
The remaining soldiers stormed Zoro who ran above the clouds to meet them with both swords ready to attack. As he ran, Zoro drew his two swords forward and slightly rose into the air, forming a rhinoceros horn-like position before he began to spin, slicing through the air around him.
"Two Sword Style: Rhino Cycle!" zoro shouted, causing blades of wind to emerge from his sword and dart towards the incoming soldiers, throwing them all into the air and onto the shore.
Both Nojiko and Zoro then stood still for a few seconds before opening their blinders to see the unconscious White Barret troops scattered all over the angel shore.
"What's the point of closing their eyes if they're just going to use a strike that reaches a wide distance," Luffy said to himself as he shook his head.
"Good work you two," said Luffy, drawing their attention. Before any of them had the chance to speak, the White Bareet captain's voice caught their attention.
"Sorry Villain" he said in a loud voice, drawing everyone's attention. "You should do as I tell you. Of all the law enforcers in Skypiea, the punishment from White Bareet was the lightest, however, THEY were not as forgiving as we were," he added, causing Nami to gasp and a look of fear to appear on her face.
"haha! Congratulations, you're now considered level 2 criminals. You can try to cry for mercy, but from now on you will all be judged by the priest of the Upper Yard!" he said while pointing at Luffy and the crew.
Luffy simply shrugged before ignoring the man completely.
"Aren't these people aware that we don't care about them at all" Luffy said as he walked towards Zoro and Nojiko.
"But after all, I'm really looking forward to what it's like to experience judgment from God" Luffy added, laughing with an excited expression appearing on his face.
