Chapter 333

All of this is probably not just a simple coincidence!

In the unseen workings of fate,

there seemed to be an invisible force,

pushing everything along to develop according to a predetermined course!

As for what exactly this invisible force was,

Li Xiao thought of it almost immediately,

something he had speculated about several months ago,

at the sea restaurant Baratie on the East Sea,

the self-correcting ability from the Pirate World!

If things had followed the normal plot development,

after Luffy ascended to Skypiea,

he should have engaged in a great battle with Enel!

This great battle involved three factions,

directly changing the situation on Skypiea!

Moreover,

after this battle,

Luffy successfully rang the Golden Bell,

fulfilling the promise he had made to Kalgara on Jiayadao!

He also found the ruins located within Upper Yard — Shandora,

thereby seeing the historical text within!

However,

the problem now was that,

over a month ago,

Enel had been cut down with a single sword strike by Li Xiao!

One of the two main protagonists of this great battle was already dead,

so what was there left to fight about!

Thus,

now,

the Straw Hat Pirates had followed Li Xiao to Skypiea,

normally speaking,

there shouldn't be any more fighting from here on!

It would be nothing more than smoothly exploring the wondrous Skypiea,

after which,

they would either leave together with Li Xiao,

or depart on their own first!

It seemed that because this situation had greatly deviated from the original course,

the Pirate World began its self-correction!

It utilized the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that reappeared after Enel's death,

directly creating a low-spec version of Enel,

and influenced Luffy's group to head toward Upper Yard,

thereby engaging in battle with this low-spec version of Enel!

Thinking about it this way,

the script that Shura had received,

in fact, over a month ago,

from the very moment he consumed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit,

had already had its ending written!

When he thought his fortune had greatly exploded,

that he had inherited Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the name of God,

and could ascend to the heavens in a single step,

becoming Skypiea's next God and true ruler from then on!

Little did he know,

fate's gift had long since secretly priced its cost!

He was destined to be beaten savagely by the BUG-exploiting competitor Luffy!

Although in the original work,

even though Enel was ultimately defeated by Luffy,

he was only seriously wounded,

and in the end still piloted the Ark Maxim toward the moon!

However,

as another Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability user,

Shura's strength was far too lacking compared to Enel's!

If he gets beaten up badly by Luffy,

whether he can survive in the end is really hard to say!

Objectively speaking,

with Asura's current strength,

he is completely capable of crushing the entire Straw Hat Pirates!

However,

when the two sides actually fight,

as for the outcome of the battle,

there is almost no suspense,

Asura is bound to lose!

After all,

you're fighting someone who has glitched with a BUG,

and still has the protagonist's halo activated,

what are you going to use to win!

Use that brain of yours that's been electrotherapy-ed by yourself?

Let alone Asura,

even the previous Rumble-Rumble Fruit user Enel,

going up against Luffy would also end in a crushing defeat!

Unless the unremarkable cultivation-world Mr. Li personally takes action,

otherwise, just honestly accept your loss!

As for the self-correction ability of the Pirate World,

although Li Xiao had long had his suspicions,

he never took it to heart!

After all,

I, Mr. Li, am a cultivator at the very least!

The path of cultivation,

is inherently going against the heavens,

why would I fear your tiny little world correction force?

Be sensible and we'll each mind our own business!

If the self-correction ability of the Pirate World,
