After arriving at the doorway, they immediately smelled the fragrance coming from inside.
Sure enough, just as Ian had said, dinner was already prepared.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. Robin looked at the two standing at the doorway, was momentarily surprised, then revealed a gentle smile and was just about to say something.
Suddenly, a blinding flash of light abruptly appeared, instantly turning the night as bright as day, and this was not the end.
Immediately afterward…
"Rumble!"
A violent thunderclap rang out.
Robin and Ian's expressions changed, and even Ain, who had originally been inside the house, walked out at this time.
The three of them looked solemn and immediately looked in the direction from which the thunder came.
They saw a huge pillar of lightning descend from the sky, striking the shore of Ohara.
That was... Enel's Devil Fruit ability?!
The three exchanged glances, seemingly thinking of something.
Robin and Ain hurriedly looked at Ian with worried expressions.
"Ian..."
"No need to worry, it's probably just a pirate who accidentally broke in."
Ian comforted Robin and Ain, then handed Aria to Robin. "I'll go take a look. Find a place to keep the children safe. I'll notify Kuma and have him send you to Skypiea first. After things are settled, you can come back!"
Seeing Robin hesitating as if wanting to speak, Ian seemed to already understand what she wanted to say and smiled as he said, "Relax. There aren't many people on the sea right now who can defeat me. There won't be a problem. I'm just worried that the other side might want to fight me for three days and three nights and disturb our rest."
As he spoke, without waiting for Robin and Ain to say anything, he directly leapt into the air.
Moonwalk!
He rushed toward the direction where the lightning had fallen. However, at this moment, there was no smile on his face. Instead, his eyes revealed a cold and solemn expression. He seemed to have already guessed who it was.
Marine Headquarters... could it be that they wanted to start a war at this time?
Were they not afraid of an accident happening?
...
Time moved slightly backward.
A figure bypassed everyone's line of sight and successfully infiltrated the island.
Looking at the prosperous island before him, astonishment appeared on that figure's face, as if he had not expected the Umbrella Corporation to be so bold!
But after a short while, it was replaced by a cold expression.
With a light step of his foot, a strange light appeared, forming a pentagram... something like a magic circle.
Immediately afterward, as the magic circle appeared, in just the blink of an eye, with a bang sound, several figures emerged from within the magic circle.
Everyone wore expressions of indifference and coldness as they swept their gazes around.
And at the forefront, St. Jaygarcia Saturn took a slight step forward and said in a cold tone: "The defenses are simpler than I imagined. Is this confidence in one's own strength? What an arrogant fellow. But then again, if he's not arrogant, how could he build a base in a place like this?"
Did that fellow not know the meaning that Ohara represented?
That was simply impossible!
You had to know that his wife was a survivor of Ohara; how could he not know?
So, knowing full well yet still building the base in a place like this... this was a provocation against the World Government!
"So be it!"
St. Jaygarcia Saturn suppressed the anger in his heart. "Tonight, these arrogant fellows will be punished, and everything of Ohara... Will truly disappear!"
As he spoke, St. Jaygarcia Saturn turned his head to look at the people he had brought with him behind him, and said in a cold tone: "Destroy this place..."
However, before he could finish speaking.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the group abruptly raised their heads, only to see a blinding light suddenly appear overhead.
That was…
Saturn's expression changed instantly. "Lightning?!"
They had been discovered!
Lightning shot out from the clouds, like a thunderbolt hurled down from the heavens.
At this moment, the grass and trees went still, the insects and birds stopped making sounds, and the whole world fell silent.
Only the white spear, forged by the God, carrying a pure, blinding will of destruction, pierced straight down.
Its indescribable light instantly tore through the sky, scorching people's eyes, as if trying to pierce the souls of mortals who looked up to the power of God!
At this very moment, St. Jaygarcia Saturn, who was one of the people who stood at the pinnacle of the world's highest power, and the elite knights directly under the World Government, the God's Knights, were all stunned by that bolt of lightning.
In just a moment, they already knew who had sent the lightning, and they also knew that they... had been discovered!
But even so, as people stood at the pinnacle of the world's highest power... They not only possess power and status above everyone else, but also have the formidable strength to overlook everything in this ocean.
The enemy is just a Logia Devil Fruit user; it is not worth making a fuss about.
Even if they are discovered, it will only make their operations a little more complicated.
The moment they were deployed, the fate of the Umbrella Corporation was sealed.
Destruction is the only path!
An unstoppable destruction!
And there is only one God in this world, the supreme ruler, Imu-sama, who stands at the pinnacle of all life.
As for the others... they're just a bunch of trash, at most just stronger pieces of trash.
Neither St. Jaygarcia Saturn nor any of the members of the God's Knights dodged.
Aside from their initial surprise at the sudden lightning spear, they all calmly watched the lightning descend from the sky.
It was as if it weren't a fierce lightning bolt, but merely the fall of an insignificant speck of dust.
In that instant, as the bolt of lightning struck, its intense heat scorched the air.
Wherever it passed, everything was enveloped in the terrifying heat, and instantly, a strong, acrid smell of sulfur and metal filled the air.
Where the lightning struck, the surrounding vegetation was instantly reduced to charred charcoal.
Not only that, but even St. Jaygarcia Saturn and the members of the God's Knights, who did not dodge at all, were also charred in an instant, leaving a deep pit in the once flat ground.
