Chapter 32: Next Target, Enel!

The Navy Headquarters' military merit exchange points operate similarly to the conversion rate of Belly, roughly 5:1. The items showcased, whether Devil Fruits, renowned swords, the Six Powers... or the two forms of Haki!

All of these items have been carefully categorized and classified. Naturally, the Navy acts as the middleman, charging a commission for its services. After all, with the Navy's intelligence-gathering abilities, they can even categorize Devil Fruits down to their specific type and subtype!

Additionally, the Navy provides specialized bounty hunting tasks for capturing pirates, saving countless trouble for the participants.

A supreme grade sword is worth 1 billion points at the military merit exchange, which is highly enticing for any Navy soldier proficient in swordsmanship. However, for true swordmasters, this doesn't matter as much—since any blade, as long as it's not too inferior, can be easily trained into a black blade in their hands!

Moreover, it won't be long before Ian recovers 40% of his fusion. Once he fully constructs his Zanpakutō, both its power and quality will definitely be on par with the supreme grade swords!

As for the mockery and doubts from those around him, Ian couldn't care less about provoking them. He's more focused on enhancing his strength. Only the weak bark aimlessly!

Showing real talent and skill is what truly matters. Have you ever seen an adult seriously compete with a child? But to Tashigi, this tolerance seemed like a sign of dignity—being mocked like this, yet able to hold back?

For her, it was a matter of position and strength. Ian surpassed them in both but still chose to remain silent!

However, reflecting on his magnanimity, perhaps he simply found them too insignificant to care about? Ian was indeed like that—sharp words were nothing compared to his actual strength. If people talked behind his back, so be it!

But if a dog dared to bite him upfront, he wouldn't bark back—he'd simply crush it!

"Just some empty words. Ready for a journey?" Ian picked up the Log Pose to Jaya Island that Tashigi had brought and flicked it into the air as he spoke!

Sky Island had been isolated from the Blue Sea for centuries. The inhabitants there bore white wings, and their strength had developed in its own unique way. They utilized various shells that had powers similar to those in the world of pirates, and by chance...

The God of Skypiea, Enel, who possessed the Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit), foolishly believed his powers were divine in origin. He had no idea that his abilities came from a Devil Fruit, nor did he understand Haki.

He referred to Observation Haki as the "Mantra." The Goro Goro no Mi is an incredibly versatile and broken Logia ability. It can mimic the explosive force of fire, the speed and piercing ability of wind, the paralysis and slow-down effects of ice, and the destructive weight of earth!

It's an extremely well-rounded power. Since Ian now has the ability to absorb Devil Fruits and grow saplings from them, there's no way he would let go of this ridiculously overpowered Logia fruit!

If Enel had developed his power to the level of the Admirals, Ian would currently have to avoid confrontation. However, Skypiea has been cut off from the Blue Sea for centuries!

Enel had developed his abilities independently and used them quite well, but their power was not fully realized. Otherwise, even if Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi (Gum-Gum Fruit) ability had a natural advantage over him...

Enel could still have incinerated Luffy. Rubber's greatest weaknesses are extreme heat, along with blades and swords!

That's why Ian instructed Tashigi to find the Log Pose to Jaya Island, to set course for Sky Island step by step!
