Chapter 43: Occupying Skypiea
A massive bird soared from the distance, carrying a lean yet formidable knight clad in silver armor.
"Blue Sea dwellers! You must be pirates! How dare you invade the divine land? I advise you to leave at once, or my divine army will purge you!"
Hovering mid-air, Gan Fall issued his warning to Brook and his crew, gripping his heat-dial-powered lance as it began glowing red-hot, radiating waves of heat.
"Let's have a fight first. That should settle things."
Brook grinned at the so-called god of this land, his chilling aura growing even more sinister.
'Netherworld Aura: Death's Intimidation'
A suffocating wave of deathly energy swept across the Skypieans present. Having never experienced true winter, they suddenly felt a soul-piercing cold, as though their very breath had frozen over. The weaker ones collapsed in fright.
Even Gan Fall's massive bird trembled in terror, momentarily forgetting to flap its wings, sending both itself and its rider plummeting downward.
"W-What is this?!"
Gan Fall's heart pounded with fear as he stared at Brook. His 'Mantra'—his ability to sense emotions—could not detect anything from the swordsman.
Brook stepped forward leisurely. Gan Fall fought to suppress his terror, thrusting his heat-dial lance toward him in desperation.
