Monkey D. Luffy, can you still work miracles?
Despite his deep concern, Vice Admiral Garp is feeling extremely nervous. He's worried that Luffy may get injured, or worse.
But for now, he can only watch as his grandson faces this seemingly impossible adversary.
Garp, who is a naval hero, feels powerless as he puts his trust in Luffy. He believes that Luffy can overcome this extraordinary enemy, the "God of the Sky Island."
"If anything happens to Luffy," Garp asserts with a calm but unmistakably firm tone, "I will set sail immediately and overturn that entire island to confront this so-called god."
No one doubts the sincerity of Garp's words. He is known for his strong character, and Sengoku, his old partner, knows him best. If something were to befall Luffy, Garp would unquestionably act on his word and head to the Sky Island without hesitation.
Sengoku places a reassuring hand on Garp's shoulder, silently urging him to remain composed and not act impulsively. Behind them, Admiral Akainu watches the situation in the sky with his own motives.
Unlike Garp, Akainu secretly hopes for Luffy's downfall. He views Luffy as nothing more than a rookie who has just ventured into the Grand Line.
How could he possibly defeat someone wielding the power of the Thunder-Thunder Fruit? Akainu sees Luffy's defeat as an opportunity to claim a reward, which would only bolster his strength.
Akainu's heart fills with joy at the prospect of Luffy's failure. He can't help but think that with so many witnesses, he must suppress the urge to laugh out loud.
Luffy strains to hold himself upright at the ship's side, struggling to stay on his feet. Enel, on the other hand, looks down upon him with a smile tainted by sarcasm and contempt.
Enel could have easily disposed of Luffy with a single blow, ensuring his future safety, but he chose not to.
Perhaps it's his god-like arrogance that convinces him the battle is already won and there's no need to hurry. Or maybe he wants Luffy to witness, with his own eyes, the culmination of Enel's grand plan.
Enel reclines and continues to control the massive Ark, pouring electricity into it as it ascends further into the sky.
Time passes slowly, marked by a series of unfortunate events. Luffy struggles with the enormous golden ball, eventually losing his grip, causing it to crash onto the ground, creating a massive crater.
Usopp and Sanji wake up from their comas and join Nami to challenge Enel and prevent the impending catastrophe. However, they're not immune to the devastating electric attacks and are left incapacitated.
Enel continues to bombard the Ark with electricity, resulting in a barrage of thunderclouds that envelop the entire Sky Island. From the ground, the thick dark clouds obscure the sky, plunging it into darkness that induces despair.
At this point, the Straw Hat Pirates are unconscious, some are missing, and all are powerless to resist.
The Skypieans, too, suffer devastating losses. Only one individual remains on the Ark: Enel. The hope of stopping him from summoning thunder and lightning capable of obliterating the entire island is dwindling.
The horrifying sight of the thunderclouds in the sky leaves everyone in terror, as it seems that no one can defeat Enel or save Skypiea.
At the Marine Headquarters, Akainu relishes the apparent end of Straw Hat's voyage. He eagerly anticipates the Thunder Island's imminent destruction, taking with it the entire Straw Hat Pirate crew.
Akainu's eagerness to witness their defeat is met with puzzlement by fellow admirals Kizaru and Aokiji, who know his absolute justice ideology.
The hostility directed towards the Straw Hat Pirates seems unusually strong, especially considering their lack of any malicious actions thus far.
As for Shichibukai and others who are present, they observe Akainu's intense desire for the Straw Hats' failure and a growing tension between him and Garp.
While the Shichibukai and Yonko, such as Whitebeard, Shanks, Kaido, and Big Mom, may have differing views on Luffy, they collectively see the battle as nearing its end.
Enel's power appears insurmountable, and the inevitable seems inescapable.
However, just when it appears that hope has faded entirely, the unfolding scene shocks everyone.
"It's not over yet!" resounds through the entire Sky Island. To their astonishment, Luffy emerges from the massive crater in the ground, proving he's still very much alive and full of determination.
Luffy proceeds to drag the enormous golden ball towards the sky, demonstrating incredible strength. With every step, he approaches the Ark, towering high above him.
This unexpected turn of events leaves everyone thrilled. It's not over yet; there's still a chance to thwart Enel's destructive plan.
"Enel, I'm going to beat you! Just you wait!" Luffy shouts, charging toward the heavens while dragging the colossal golden ball. He appears unyielding and resolute, an inspiration to everyone watching.
As Luffy makes his way, Enel, seated atop the Ark, wields the golden trident, and the entire sky island becomes a cauldron of thunderclouds and lightning. The situation seems dire, but Luffy's determination has ignited a spark of hope.
"Destroy Skypiea..." Enel begins to declare.
"Lightning Wrath!"
The world watches in amazement as Luffy faces the overwhelming power of Enel's electric might. The fate of Skypiea hangs in the balance, and everyone prays for a miracle.
