"Zzzzzzt!"
Electric arcs danced on his skin, and his powerful muscles, hoo perfe, were on full dispy. They rippled with barely tained energy, like tempered steel, radiating an aura of invincibility.
Sweat dripped from his brow, but Arthur didn't bother to wipe it away. He was pletely focused on trolling the lightning that coursed through his body.
His frame, once merely strong, now quivered with barely restrained power, the subtle vibratioing into tremors. His veins bulged, pulsing like angry serpents beh his skin.
Initially, he had po use the same current he'd used on the Skypiean criminals tthen his body. But he discovered that the iy ractically negligible, barely scratg the surface. So, with a surge of determination, he had drastically increased the current output.
"Zzzzzzt!"
The arcs morphed into crag snakes of lightning, and Arthur's muscles swelled.
Half an hour ter, the transformation subsided. This test internal an strengthening had been a plete success.
"Huff!"
Exhaling deeply, Arthur jumped into a tub to wash himself .
"Good thing I spent ten months experimenting. If I hadn't gotten to know my internal ans so well, this could have been dangerous."
He was still shaken by the ret experiment, but mostly, he was thrilled. It was a stroke of genius to use others for his experiments, saving him from a potentially fatal oute.
"Strengthening my internal ans has made a noticeable differen my power!" Arthur ched his fist, feeling the surging power within. He felt a dizzyiion—as if he could shatter Sky Isnd with a single punch.
"Maybe one day, when my ans are strong enough, I exhale and it'll be like a sword, and a mere huff will kill a man?" He grinned, looking forward to the possibilities.
To celebrate his success, Arthur decided to indulge in a celebratory drink while taking a bath.
In his previous life, he had enjoyed alcohol, but since his rebirth, he hadn't touched a drop. But now, there was no helping it. As his body grew stronger, he would probably have to drink stantly, being a full-blown alcoholic.
After all, alcohol was the essence of grains, packed with energy. Arthur couldn't possibly carry around mountains of food while he sailed the seas, could he?
He stood up from the tub, wiped away the water droplets, and a stant smile pyed on his lips. From now on, every part of his body could be strengthened simultaneously. He would grow stronger every day. The title of the Stro Creature was within his grasp.
Dressed—Arthur cheerfully left the temple, ready to explore Upper Yard, a pce he had arrived at almost a year ago but had ruly seen.
"Lod, you're out?" stance had been waiting outside the temple. Seeing Arthur, he immediately approached.
"How is the modificatiress on the 'Ark - Thunder God'?" Arthur led the way out of the temple, his hands csped behind his back. He wao see the Golden Bell and the a Poneglyph.
"Lod, we found the desdants of the man who desighe Waver turies ago. His shipbuilding skills are among the best on Sky Isnd. I believe it will be pleted soon!" stance bowed his head respectfully.
"Hmm, there's no rush." Arthur nodded. He had seen the inal design of the Ark Maxim and found its appearaerly hideous. So he had drawn a new design himself, based on an Aircraft carrier from his past life.
However, ging the Ark's established appearance would iably require alterations to the internal structure and po pt. That was why the stru of the Ark had been deyed until now.
Walking on the cloud path, Arthur gazed at the area ahead, shrouded in mist. He didn't see the Golden Bell or the Poneglyph as he had expected.
"What is this pce? Where is the Golden Bell?"
stance was fused. "Lod, I've never been here before. I'm not sure. As for the Golden Bell... I've never heard of such a thing on Sky Isnd!"
"You don't know?" Arthur frowned.
He vaguely remembered a pce where the dispced Shandians lived.
Perhaps it was in that misty area?
With this thought, Arthur activated his Observation Haki, sing the misty area.
...
In the mist, as Arthur suspected, there was indeed a small vilge.
At this moment, about twenty Shandians, armed with ons, were sharpening their bdes, preparing to attack the Temple again.
They were almost indistinguishable from the Skypieans, both having white wings and wearing peculiar shoes fliding on clouds.
"In the name of the Great Warrior Kalgara, I, Vidar—will lead our people to recim Upper Yard and erase the shame of our aors' expulsion!" A dark-skinned, mohawked young man with a long braid solemnly decred.
He held a bazooka and a shield. His face was marked with terrifying tattoos, and his eyes were sharp.
"Erase the shame, Recim Upper Yard!"
"Erase the shame, Recim Upper Yard!"
The Shandians behind him roared in unison, their eyes filled with unyielding hatred.
"Vidar, I heard that something major happened on Upper Yard retly. This might be our ce." A simirly shirtless young man said gravely.
He wore red-rimmed gsses, carried a blue skateboard, and had a long sword at his waist.
"Kaminari, don't be careless! This could be a trap set by Gan Fall to lure us in!"
"Regardless, we must recim Upper Yard this time and make the Golderuly ring, fulfilling our aors' 400-year-old agreement!"
"Kill all the Skypieans! Ring the Golden Bell!"
Their speed was incredibly fast. The skateboards were faster on the cloud paths than a person running at full speed. They moved through the forest, about to emerge from the mist.
...
"Recim Upper Yard? How ughable..." Arthur smiled coldly. Upper Yard was now his territory. How could he allow others to interfere?
"It seems the modified Ark might face a she of gold. If I melt down the Golden Bell and those gold pieces, it should be about enough."
Arthur didn't care if they were i or not. Being robbed of their home was simply a matter of strength.
The Shandians' aors were useless—Now Upper Yard was in his hands. There was no way he would return it.
To avoid endless future trouble, he decided to bury the Shandians on the isnd they dreamed of.
"Divine Judgment - Rain of Thunder!"
Arthur extended his palm. A ball of lightning flew into the clouds. The clear sky instantly turned dark. Bolts of lightning shrough the clouds.
Rain of Thunder was an enhanced version of Enel's Thuorm. Arthur could use it to bombard any area within his Observation Haki's ra was the perfect move fe-scale battles.
"What's going on?" The advang Shandians were stunned by the sudden ge. One moment it was sunny, and the , the sky was dark.
"Zzzzzzt!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After a moment of brewing, the dark clouds suddenly rained down a dense barrage of lightning bolts!
"Dodge it!"
"Watch out!!"
The dozens of Shandiaerrified, uo uand why lightning was falling on them...
...
Outside the mist.
"stance, go bad tell the God's Militia to ehe mist and move all the gold he temple!"
Arthur casually wiped out the Shandians and turo leave.
"Yes!"
