It is not unreasonable for Vlad to want to be the Sky Island God. There is no doubt that he has extremely valid reasons. First of all, the identity of the Sky Island God can indeed bring him a lot of conveniences. Being able to obtain the support of the entire Sky Island's manpower and material resources is still the most legitimate behavior, and no one will have any objections.
Without this level of identity, it's unclear how long the Platinum-Draig's renovation work will continue. After all, why should someone who is not a relative help you?
The second reason, which is also equally important, is of course that Vlad has already chosen the boatman who refuses to get on the ship, Mr. Enel. This man is extremely rebellious and has no intention of getting on the ship. He succumbed to Vlad's violence and has been severely injured and knocked out after being beaten several times by Vlad. However, after recovering, he still goes his own way and does not give Vlad any face at all.
It seemed that the progress of getting this man on board was far away, but Vlad knew that although he could not turn Enel into a trustworthy partner all of a sudden, he could still get him on board his ship honestly. This possibility lies in the name of God of Sky Island.
-------------
In the dense forest.
"boom!!!"
The dark golden long stick was wrapped with visible lightning and hit directly on a huge stone. The hard stone suddenly shattered, and large and small stone dregs exploded with a 'whooshing' sound. The power of a human body is not much less than that of a flintlock gun.
The man with the long earlobes didn't care at all, his eyes were unwavering, and his body was swaying in the wind like a piece of paper, perfectly avoiding all the gravel.
"Discharge!!"
The man shouted low, and countless electric arcs suddenly shot out from his body, flashing in the air like small snakes, much faster than the previous gravel.
The electric arc directly caught up with the flying gravel, and there was no doubt that it was missing. Each piece of gravel was accompanied by an electric arc, and turned into dust in the jumping electric light.
"call--"
The man slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Gentle applause came from the side. Vlad slowly walked out of the woods, clapped gently, with an approving smile on his face, "Not bad, God, that's some nice Haki!"
Of course, that man couldn't be someone else.
The only man who can control electricity is Enel. As the chief designer of the Platinum Draig renovation project, the man is often away from the construction site and always comes here to practice alone. But that's right, this man whom Vlad regarded as the shipwright's choice was actually not very good at building ships. He also led his magic soldiers to build the Ark, and he himself only played a role of supervision and overall control. .
No matter what, Vlad didn't come to this man to find a truly great shipwright. What he looked for was the man's potential and the spaceship technology he already had.
In the past six months, the reason why Enel has been helping Vlad to build the ship honestly is not without reason. What he practiced before was the ability called Haki. Naturally, this can only be taught by Vlad. , the purpose is not to let this guy leave, but also to help transform the Platinum Draig.
Faced with such a temptation, of course Enel would not leave. This man who regarded himself as a god naturally could not give up such ability. It was the first time he realized the power of Haki. Only then did he understand that the Thunder Fruit was not invincible. The power of Haki can indeed pose a great threat to him, just like Vlad.
Therefore, he had no reason to reject Vlad's suggestion. For half a year, he learned this power called Haki from Vlad's hands.
It has to be said that Enel's talent for Armament Haki is not very strong, maybe it is about the same as that of a maid. Hardening was only completed not long ago. This is after fighting Vlad every now and then.
However, in comparison, this man's talent in observation Haki can be described as terrifying. The effect of the Thunder Fruit on strengthening the observation Haki is really not a joke. It can be seen from Enel's Mantra that there is something.
Another thing I have to say is that Sky Island's Mantra is actually a little different from observation haki. Although they are both about the power of listening and prejudgment, the difference between them is that the Mantra is mainly about reading minds. The power of the mind is used to judge actions through psychological inference. In other words, as long as the other party is able to think about nothing, or does not think about it, then the Mantra will lose its effect.
how to say? Compared with the normal observation haki, it has its own merits. The Mantra can be said to be a specialized observation haki. In the past, Enel could not predict things like gravel, but now he can.
"As a god, this is natural!"
Enel accepted Vlad's compliment without blushing and his heart didn't beat, and his expression was extremely natural.
"God? Hey, don't get it wrong, Mr. Enel, although I still call you God, but now,"
Vlad said this: "I am the god of Sky Island. Hasn't your godhood been taken away by me?"
Enel's face darkened visibly, and he said: "The so-called God of Sky Island is just an extremely stupid title. Only I, God Enelu, am the real god!"
"Hoh,"
Vlad smiled, "You are joking, God. Who was the person who occupied the position of God of Sky Island before and was happy with it? Isn't it you, the God who now disdains this position? This is what is called Do you feel bad because you can't get it?"
"It's so ugly, Enel, jealousy will only make you ugly!"
Vlad crossed his arms and said so.
"Yahahahaha!!"
"Jealous? Are you saying I'm jealous?"
Enel laughed loudly, "Am I, the supreme god, jealous of you, a false god?"
"False God?"
"Uhahahaha!"
At this moment, it was Vlad's turn to laugh again, He laughed and said: "Don't be joking, Enel, the god recognized by everyone on Sky Island now is me, I am the one who laughs. The only god here, and you, Enel, does anyone still think you are a god? You are the only one who still believes in it, right?"
"Crack!!"
Enel gritted his teeth, lightning flashed on his body, and was extremely angry, but he did not have any words to refute Vlad's words. Vlad was not wrong. Ever since he was defeated by Vlad, the title of God has already gone from him.
"By the way, Enel,"
Vlad smiled, "I'm about to set sail. The ship has almost been renovated. There's no reason to stay anymore."
Enel was slightly startled.
Vlad smiled unkindly.
"I'm going to take away the position of the God of Sky Island!"
