Summary

Skypiean children playing near Conis' home repeat rumors that she and Pagaya turned evil for helping the Blue Sea dwellers escape, while one boy boasts that his father serves in God's army though he has never met him. Conis presses on to warn the islanders so the enforcers' sacrifice will not be wasted. In the ruins, Gan Fall demands to know Enel's intent, and Enel answers with a single word, ascension. He intends to abandon Skypiea, return to a boundless land he calls Fairy Vearth, and exterminate every Skypiean along the way.

Key Events

Enraged that Enel reduces the title of God to a personal claim, Gan Fall attacks and is struck down by the 20,000,000 Volts: Vari. Robin tries to steer Enel by hinting the golden bell could be destroyed with the island, but he deduces the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell sits atop Giant Jack and blasts her with lightning for the manipulation. Zoro catches the falling Robin and charges in, and Wyper's Burn Bazooka is turned aside by Kari before Enel overpowers Zoro as well. Wyper then seizes Enel, weakening him with Seastone bandaged to his arm, and slams him with a Reject Dial, leaving the god unconscious.
