I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

On the Sky Island, the Gate of Heaven was half-hidden in the veil-like clouds, with many powerful soldiers parked by the gate. The rooms of the Angel's Gate were crowded with men, women, young and old.

At the first light of dawn, golden sunlight gently shines down, coating this untouched holy land with a layer of dreamy splendor.

In this extraordinary and quiet scene, stands a blonde girl. She is like an elf walking out of the morning light. Her hair is like the purest silk, swaying gently in the breeze, shining with a dazzling but not glaring light.

In her arms, nestled tightly together was a snow-white fox. Its fur looked even softer in the morning light, contrasting beautifully with the girl's golden hair and adding to the tranquility.

The fox spirit's eyes were half open and half closed, occasionally looking up into the distance. The girl stood there, neither anxious nor impatient, just quietly waiting...

"Connie, they shouldn't be coming." An old man walked out of the room.

"I know, Father." Conis revealed a hint of worry. "I just hope they can come again. If they are here... they can definitely put an end to this."

The uncle walked up to Conis and gently held her in his arms: "It's okay, Conis. Trust the mountain warrior Dia and God. We will definitely win!"

"Um……"

Just then, shouts were heard from afar, and a sloop slowly came over, and the laughter of the crew resounded through the sky.

"Wow! Is this Sky Island?! It feels like a dream!"

"We're up! We're up! We're really up! We're actually driving on the clouds!"

The gorillas and apes held hands and danced happily.

Kulikate pulled out a soaked cigarette and lit it. Although it didn't catch fire, he still took a deep breath and comfortably enjoyed the sunshine above the sea of ​​clouds. A smile played on his lips: "Nolando..."

Zoro smiled knowingly. He had never imagined that one day he would witness the encounter between Nolando and the descendants of the great warrior. He wondered what the scene would be like, but it would probably be a joyful and grand welcome banquet.

At this moment, an excited call came from afar:

"Hey~~Zoro!!!"

Zoro looked up at the Gate of Heaven in the distance. Conis and her father were waving to them excitedly.

Huh? Why is this girl here?

"Conis!" Zoro also waved his hand.

Unexpectedly, he ran into her when he returned to the old place. So, Zoro cautiously took a look at the small notebook hidden in his sleeve.

"cough……"

"cough……"

"What's wrong, Roronoa? Did you catch a cold when you were passing through the sea of ​​clouds just now?" Kulikate, who was standing next to him, turned his head and saw Zoro's serious expression, as if he was facing a great enemy. He couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that he had misjudged Zoro, who could make this Kaitian Swordsman so cautious? Who on earth was that woman?

……

"Ahem...Conis, you seem very happy today. Did anything interesting happen to you?"

Teacher Pei said that this was a topic thrown to the other party.

"..." Conis was confused. Why was she happy? Wasn't it obvious?

For a moment, Connies didn't know how to respond, and the situation became awkward.

Zoro was sweating profusely. Oh no... the situation was not good.

Kulikate and the others had strange expressions on their faces. Why did they feel that this swordsman with terrifying strength was not very smart?

Fortunately, Conis's father broke the deadlock: "...Long time no see, Mr. Swordsman, why are you alone? Aren't Luffy and the others here with you?"

Zoro felt relieved: "Huh... Long time no see, uncle. My friends are all working hard on their training. We agreed to meet again in a year and a half. I happened to meet you and your friends at sea. They were going to Sky Island, so I followed them. But then again, why are you here?"

"In fact, we have been hiding here for two days." Conis also recovered from her speechlessness.

"Huh? Hiding here?"

Conis: "Yes, most of the residents of Angel Beach have taken refuge here because... Enel..."

Hearing this name, Zoro frowned: "Enelu? Isn't he going to..."

Zoro realized something was wrong just as he was talking. Yes, Enel did not escape to the moon after being defeated by Luffy as in the original plot, but was imprisoned.

Thinking of this, Zoro quickly changed his words and said, "...isn't he chained to the sea floor stone?"

Conis nodded and said in a heavy tone, "Yes, that's right. The divine servant guarding Enel betrayed the gods a few days ago and uncuffed Enel... He's now robbing gold everywhere and threatening to return the kingdom of the gods to the surface. That's why everyone is hiding here. If the Shandia warriors and the gods can't stop him, we will flee on Vibran."

Conis was a little disappointed: "It's a pity that Luffy and the others didn't come with you, otherwise they would have been able to stop him..."

Zoro grinned after hearing this: "So it's me who left the trouble. It's okay, I can handle him alone. Enel is no match for me now. Where are they fighting?"

"Really?" Although Conis was puzzled as to why they said the troubles were caused by him, she still had a hint of anticipation: "They are on the Island of Gods."

"I don't know who the Enel you are talking about is, but if it's Roronoa, there will be no problem. Take us with you. It's really exciting to fight with the descendants of Nolando's good friend." Kulikate grinned.

He had already learned from Sauron about the bond between the Shandians and Nolando, including that the Shandians had fought for 400 years to light the Lamp of Shandora. Therefore, he could not wait to have a drink with this group of warriors.

……

Island of Gods, inside the temple.

The embers of war have not yet dissipated, and every inch of space is engraved with the marks of fierce confrontation.

The sunlight shines through the broken skylight, illuminating the ruins in patches, adding a sense of tragedy and desolation to this sacred place.

Gan Forle, the warrior who was once hailed as the King of the Sky, was now like an eagle with broken wings. His whole body was scorched black by the residual power of thunder and lightning. He lay powerlessly on the cold stone steps, but an unyielding light still flashed in his eyes.

Beside him, several Shandia warriors were also covered in wounds. They were left with indelible scars from the ravages of the electric arc, but they still clung to each other, guarding this honor and dignity together, and never gave up even in the most desperate moments.

And at the center of all this, Enel was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by endless arcs of electricity, as if the thunder and lightning in the entire world were responding to his commands. He was laughing wildly, and his laughter penetrated every corner of the temple, full of arrogance and complacency.

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the temple, carrying a bit of ridicule.

"The wind has died down, the rain has stopped, do you think you can do it again?"

Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure stepped into the temple.

"It's you!?"
