Luffy ### Summary Page 0: The title page reads 'Chapter 278 "Conis"' and 'ACE'S GREAT SEARCH FOR BLACKBEARD VOL. 6 "SAVED JUST DOWNSTREAM FROM THE TOWN"'. A young girl, Moda, stands on a small wooden bridge over a stream, looking down at two figures lying face down on the planks. One of the figures wears a familiar orange cowboy hat, identifying him as Ace. The other figure appears to be a doctor or townsman. A bird flies overhead, and a small house is visible in the background. Page 1: The giant flying ark, Maxim, hovers in the sky. Enel's face is sculpted on the front. Inside, Nami looks around in awe, thinking, 'LOOK AT ALL THIS GOLD...!' Enel, sitting on his throne, remarks, 'Is causing a commotion over at Angel Beach... It seems that girl...' Nami asks, 'Um... Does that ability you call mantra allow you to tell who's doing what faraway?' Enel replies, 'I'm a special case.' He continues, 'There's all kinds of commotion still going on outside... Though they're all of only trivial concern. Yahahaha...' Nami realizes, '...Conis!? It can't be... She should be on our ship...' Enel explains, 'So then... A country of this size is easily covered in my range. And if I were to hear any undesirable talk... I send forth my judgment. I can complement my mantra with my lightning body to read electromagnetic waves, allowing me to listen in on conversations.' Page 2: Enel lounges on his throne, boasting, 'Truly, an ability fit for a god... Yahahaha... Run, run, run as much you want, angels of the sky...!' He leans forward, asking Nami, 'You, there... Have you ever seen the look on humans who've suddenly lost their footing...!?' He laughs maniacally, 'YAHAHAHA! It's the closing act of Skypiea... A celebration of angels as they dance in the sky...!' Nami trembles in fear, a shiver running down her spine ('Zaa...'). She thinks, 'NO, EVEN IF I WERE TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE, THIS WHOLE ISLAND WILL SOON BE DESTROYED...! WHAT DO I DO... IF I DON'T RUN AWAY NOW, I...' Page 3: Enel suddenly stops laughing and looks off to the side, his expression turning serious and attentive. '...' Nami notices his shift in demeanor and asks nervously, 'Is... Is something the matter? Umm...' Enel's eyes narrow as he focuses on something unseen. Nami wonders, 'WHO COULD IT BE...!?' Enel stands up from his throne, grabbing his golden staff, and dismisses her concern, '...No, It's nothing...' Page 4: Down at Angel Beach, White Berets ride their wavers across the water. 'SPLASH!! SPLASH!!' One shouts, 'What're you doing! Catch that girl!' Conis is seen speeding towards the shore on a waver. A White Beret commands, 'Restrain the blasphemer as soon as she docks!' Another replies, 'YES, SIR!' They taunt her, 'Stupid girl! You're already a bird caught in a trap!' Conis, holding a large bazooka, yells, 'PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY!' Page 5: Conis flies her waver over the beach, surprising the citizens. '!!' She lands forcefully, causing a White Beret to crash into a stone wall. 'UGH!' 'CAPTAIN!' The onlookers are shocked. 'How can this happen!?' 'The direct servants of the priests, the White Berets have been-' More White Berets crash their wavers in the chaos. 'CAPTAAAIN!' 'GAHH!' 'AHH-' 'TA...' Page 6: Conis stands on the beach, holding her weapon. The crowd points at her. 'The woman who went against God!' 'It's the criminal!' 'Cpt. McKinley!' Conis pleads, 'Listen to what I have to say! Everyone, please!' The crowd yells, 'She's resisting the White Berets!' Conis pants heavily, 'HUFF... HUFF...' The citizens angrily reject her. 'Blasphemer!' 'That's right! With you here, all of us here might be drawn into God's judgment!' 'Get lost from this island, demon!' Page 7: Conis aims her flame bazooka at a frightened White Beret. 'DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!' The guard recoils. Conis warns, 'And I'm not afraid to use it! This is a flame bazooka.' She then turns to the crowd and shouts, 'YOU MUST ESCAPE TO THE BLUE SEAS! EVERYONE! MAKE YOUR WAY TO CLOUD'S END!' The crowd murmurs in confusion. Page 8: The citizens are bewildered. 'What...!?' 'Captain...' A White Beret scoffs, 'What nonsense she's spouting...!' Conis yells at the top of her lungs, 'GOD ENEL! IS PLANNING ON DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY! EVERYONE WHO REMAINS HERE WILL DIE!' The crowd reacts with outrage and disbelief. 'DON'T YOU DARE RIDICULE OUR GOD ENEL!' 'What's she planning?' 'Is this her idea of revenge!?' 'That's crazy...' '...Wha?' '!!?' Page 9: Conis stands firm, a tear rolling down her cheek. A citizen stammers, 'Agh- S... Sorry...' as a thrown rock hits Conis in the head. A White Beret orders, 'Arrest her!' 'YES, SIR!' Conis drops her bazooka. 'She threw down her weapon!' She takes a deep breath and screams, 'I REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE! ENEL AS A GOD!' Page 10: C...
