<div>
The White Beret Captain lay on the ground, shouting in anguish, "Attacking the White Beret troops is a second-degree crime! You must face God''s trial!"
<div>
<div>
Upon hearing the mention of God''s trial, Pagaya and Conis''s faces changed drastically.
<div>
<div>
God''s trial involved handing over criminals to the priests, who would torture and execute them through a series of trials.
<div>
<div>
Moreover, the residents of Angel Island were obliged to deceive these criminals into entering God''s Island, Upper Yard.
<div>
<div>
This was a duty imposed by Enel upon the citizens of Angel Island.
<div>
<div>
Conis, unable to deceive Noir and Robin, hurriedly pulled Robin aside and whispered, "Run, Sister Robin, the priests'' trials are very cruel!"
<div>
<div>
Robin smiled gently and said, "It''s not up to me."
<div>
<div>
Conis was stunned and then looked at Noir.
<div>
<div>
Noir patted her shoulder reassuringly and said, "Don''t worry, we won''t trouble you."
<div>
<div>
"Would you like to join us?"
<div>
<div>
Noir looked at Conis and asked.
<div>
<div>
Conis was confused by his sudden question and said, "What?"
<div>
<div>
Noir said, "We''re going to Upper Yard, and when we come back, you should come with us to adventure in the Blue Sea!"
<div>
<div>
Without waiting for her agreement, he walked towards the White Beret Captain and said, "Take us to God''s trial quickly, I can''t wait."
<div>
<div>
The White Beret Captain, seeing such an eager criminal for the first time, hesitantly said, "Okay... okay."
<div>
<div>
The White Beret Captain drove the Waver, carrying Noir and Robin, swaying as they headed towards the depths of the cloud sea.
<div>
<div>
Conis watched their receding figures in deep thought.
<div>
<div>
Could they really defeat the God?
<div>
<div>
And, could she really become their companion and venture into the Blue Sea?
<div>
<div>
Conis''s faith in God wavered, and her curiosity about the Vearth-filled Blue Sea grew stronger.
<div>
<div>
Noir and Robin, sitting on the Captain''s boat, acted like lords, causing the Captain great pressure.
<div>
<div>
He had seen many poor souls sent to God''s trial, but never someone so eager to court death.
<div>
<div>
When they finally saw an island lush with vegetation, the White Beret Captain breathed a sigh of relief.
<div>
<div>
Once inside this island, he no longer feared these two would play any tricks.

<div>
Noir and Robin disembarked and examined their surroundings.
<div>
<div>
The plants here were extraordinarily large, as if scaled up several times from the plants in the Blue Sea.
<div>
<div>
The dense tree canopy blocked the sunlight, allowing only faint rays to penetrate. Noir and Robin exchanged a glance and ventured deeper into the forest.
<div>
<div>
As they delved further into the ancient forest, the surrounding sounds diminished, and occasional giant beasts that emerged were swiftly cut down.
<div>
<div>
In the depths of Upper Yard, amidst ruins, a massive beanstalk pierced the sky. Among its huge vines, a grand palace stood.
<div>
<div>
In the dim palace, blue electric arcs suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire hall.
<div>
<div>
The rampaging blue lightning converged at a point, forming the shape of a person on the throne.
<div>
<div>
This person wore a turban, had conspicuous long ears, was bare-chested, and had thunder drums attached to his back, lying arrogantly on the chair.
<div>
<div>
This was Enel, the ruler of Sky Island, known as God.
<div>
<div>
At this moment, Enel was in a bad mood!
<div>
<div>
Using his powerful Mantra, he had clearly heard what Noir said.
<div>
<div>
Those disrespectful and blasphemous words!
<div>
<div>
He was about to use his power to unleash Sacred punishment and kill that kid.
<div>
<div>
But unexpectedly, the kid had come to him on his own.
<div>
<div>
Thus, he had to let him experience the hunt by the priests!
<div>
<div>
In Enel''s court, four bizarre-looking individuals knelt, awaiting the God''s command.
<div>
<div>
Enel addressed his four priestly subordinates, "An insolent fool has entered the island. You can have some fun with him."
<div>
<div>
The four priests immediately grew excited and said, "Understood, we''ll handle it!"
<div>
<div>
Enel nodded, then suddenly frowned and sneered, "Those pesky guerrillas are back again."
<div>
<div>
The four priests, upon hearing about the guerrillas, were infuriated. Satori, the priest of the Ordeal of Strings, wearing aviator goggles, cursed, "Those damn Shandians trespass on God''s territory again!"
<div>
<div>
Another priest, Ohm, responsible for the Ordeal of Iron, adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Let me handle them, I''ll make sure they never return!"
<div>
<div>
Enel nodded and said to the other two, "Besides the Shandian rats, those two criminals are for Gedatsu and Shura."
<div>
<div>
"Yes!" The two replied in unison, and then all the priests departed. Enel, half-closing his eyes, disdainfully said, "humans, how dare they challenge a God..."
<div>
<div>
Noir, sensing the presence with his Observation Haki, scorned the voyeuristic Enel.
<div>
<div>
Observation Haki, after all, was only useful for battle alerts and searching. If it could actually see through things, Noir would use it every day.
<div>
<div>
Just after mentioning Observation, Noir''s Observation detected a small figure.
<div>
<div>
A little girl dressed like a tribesperson was squatting on the ground, stealthily unpacking and filling a bag with something.
<div>
<div>
Robin, moving silently, approached her, but before she got close, the girl suddenly jumped up as if electrocuted, grabbed her bag, and tried to run away.
<div>
<div>
Already aware of her movements, Noir took a big step forward, blocking her path.
<div>
<div>
The girl couldn''t stop in time and crashed into Noir''s leg, falling to the ground with a thud.
<div>
<div>
The bag fell open, spilling a lot of soil.
<div>
<div>
Noir picked up the bag and said, "You''re here to steal soil? Are you a Shandian?"
<div>
<div>
Though young, the girl had a fierce temper. She glared up at him, trying to grab her bag back, but Noir easily held her down with one hand.
<div>
<div>
Noir, speaking softly as if to a child, asked, "Little girl, what''s your name? How old are you? Do you need our help?"
<div>
<div>
"Don''t call me little girl!" the girl angrily replied. "I''m Aisa, eight years old, and I''m a Shandian warrior!"
<div>
<div>
"You''re a warrior at eight?" Noir was skeptical of her claim.
<div>
<div>
Robin glanced at him and nonchalantly said, "It''s not that surprising. I had a bounty of seventy-nine million Berries at eight."
<div>
<div>
Hiss.
<div>
<div>
Noir thought back to what he was doing at eight.
