Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Pop~
Arthur's upper body fell to the ground, as if dead.
Looking at the agitated Sandia not far away, Arthur regretted why he had acted like this. They will be so disappointed when they get back to their original shape after a while!
Silently pretended to be forced, pretending to silently mourn. Arthur spoke.
"It's terrible, it's cut into two pieces, it hurts."
"What!?" Gang Cole, who was standing with Enel and the others, originally saw that Arthur had been chopped in two, and his expression was still changing, and suddenly he was dumbfounded.
'Sure enough, those with Logia Fruit Ability won't be hurt by physical attacks! '
The Sandia man who was secretly pleased also changed his face and looked at Arthur's upper body which fell to the ground in disbelief.
"Corps...corpse, speak!" Beautiful girl Raqi's eyes were full of horror, Qianqianyu put her red lips in her hand and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Huh? I'm not dead! I'm the lightning man who ate Thunder Fruit. This kind of attack can't help me!"
As Arthur said, his upper body turned into an electric arc, flashing and condensing at the waist of his lower body.
Zi Zi Zi Zi ~
In the sound of the electric current, Arthur, who had been cut into two pieces, appeared in front of everyone again intact.
"This...weird, monster!" Komachiyo felt real fear for the first time, and everyone else felt hairy as well.
Wyper's eyes widened, and a realization struck him. 'A Devil Fruit!'
Meanwhile, the Sandia warrior named Braham panicked, shouting as he fired his flash gun and charged at Arthur once more.
"It's impossible! You're a monster, unkillable! Even if I shoot your head, you won't die!"
"Shoo~"
*Chirp~*
A scream echoed as Arthur's head was pierced by the flash gun.
"What? Still not giving up? Physical attacks won't work on me!"
A bizarre scene unfolded: a dark-skinned man pierced a teenager with a gun. Yet, the youth remained calm, unfazed by the injury, and spoke to the man.
"How can this be? Are you truly an immortal monster?" Braham trembled, stepping back slowly. He withdrew the flash gun that had penetrated Arthur's head.
To Braham's astonishment, a round hole appeared where Arthur had been struck.
Suddenly, the hole sparked with electricity, gradually healing and returning to its original state.
"Now, it's my turn to retaliate!"
Arthur lifted his arm, the electric arcs dancing around it. His face transformed, resembling a demon as he smirked slightly.
In front of the onlookers, Braham's eyes widened. He turned and fled, shouting desperately, "Run! You can't kill this monster!"
However, to Arthur, who possesses lightning powers, everything unfolded like a movie slowed down to a crawl.
"So this is how it looks in the world of speedsters," Arthur mused.
*Zi Zi Zi Zi~*
"Three million volts discharged."
A bolt of electricity surged, engulfing Braham in blue smoke as he was scorched and fell, consciousness slipping away. With his eyes rolling up, Braham managed a final plea: "Escape... hurry... flee."
Witnessing the defeat of Braham, who was no weakling, Wyper stared in disbelief.
Though he wanted to rush to Braham's aid, he knew he stood no chance against Arthur.
Wyper was well aware of Arthur's powers. It was the legendary Devil Fruit, the pinnacle Logia type.
While knowledge about Devil Fruits was scarce on the sky island, Wyper, a descendant of renowned warriors, possessed some understanding of them.
This knowledge made him more desperate than anyone else present because Logia users were impervious to physical attacks.
"Escape!" Wyper bellowed, turning to flee with anyone he could gather.
Yet, in the face of lightning-fast speed, all attempts seemed futile.
Before Wyper could finish his plea, a flash of light materialized before him, and Arthur's figure loomed, blocking his escape route.
He watched as Arthur pointed a finger at himself, a smile playing on his lips as if he found something amusing. "Five million volts, electric discharge~" he said softly.
"Ah!!!" Wyper screamed, his body going numb as he slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Wyper!" The other Sandias who had turned to run heard Webber's voice and were about to turn back.
"Don't look back, just run!" Wyper struggled to shout these words before losing consciousness and falling.
As he slipped into darkness, Wyper witnessed scenes that would haunt him forever.
He heard Arthur speak softly again. "Fifty million volts, God's sanction!"
Boom!
Thunder and lightning erupted into the sky, forming a powerful beam that crashed down in front of the Sandia battlefield.
Those caught in the devastating attack stared in horror at the ten-meter-wide crater it created.
"This... how is this possible..." Kamakiri, Raqi, Jiebao, and over twenty other Sandia warriors murmured in disbelief.
Then, another utterance reached their ears, "10 million volts, power grid."
Suddenly, everyone felt excruciating pain, burning sensations, and numbness, before losing consciousness.
