The people above jumped down swiftly while those below began observing their surroundings carefully.

Daiki stayed among the ruins. He believed this place aligned with Anos's descriptions, prompting him to study the area thoroughly.

As the people from above reached the ground and hurried over to Daiki, they recounted their findings in detail. Hearing their words, Daiki finally smiled.

At the shrine, Abona chose not to venture out. He remained there the entire day, staying inside without taking a single step outside.

Accompanying him was Enel, a boy of thirteen or fourteen. Despite his youth, Enel displayed remarkable composure, even when interacting with the priests.

This was the first time Enel understood how capable the man before him truly was.

"Enel, what are you looking at?" Abona asked, noticing the boy staring at the angel statue in the main hall of the shrine.

Enel's gaze was fixed on the angel's hand. Turning to Abona with curiosity, he asked, "Brother Abona, I've heard people say that the object in the angel's hand grants incredible power but harbours a demon within. That's why no one has used it. Is that true?"

"They're not entirely wrong," Abona replied with a slight smile. "That object can grant unmatched abilities but comes at a cost. For now, it's best not to think about it. Focus on growing stronger over the next few years. When the time comes, you'll gain power that few in this world can match. By then, no one will be able to restrict your freedom."

Enel, now freshly groomed and dressed in a clean white coat, looked entirely different from his former self.

He appeared like a handsome young man, far removed from his previous image. While still adjusting to his new attire and lifestyle, he worked hard to accept it.

"Can I really become stronger?" Enel asked hesitantly, lowering his head as memories of past bullying and guilt over his mistakes weighed on him.

Abona stepped forward, gently ruffling the boy's hair, and said with a friendly tone, "As long as you are determined, no one in this world can stop you. What matters most is how you see yourself and your future."

"Don't let your past define you. Believe in your potential, keep your pride, and the world will have nothing that can hold you back."

Abona spoke sincerely, recognizing Enel's extraordinary talent. He felt it would be a waste to let the boy's potential go unrealized.

One thing Abona had discovered was Enel's innate ability to use Observation Haki, or as the boy called it, his "mantra."

Despite his lack of formal training, Enel's Observation Haki surpassed that of even seasoned warriors in the Royal Guards, allowing him to sense everything within a one-kilometre radius.

Yet, the boy had no idea how to properly harness this ability.

Had Enel been trained since childhood, he could have been one of the strongest individuals in the Royal Guards without needing any Devil Fruit powers.

This untapped potential was why Abona took a special interest in the boy.

Although Enel still carried guilt over past events, his time with Abona began to shift his perspective.

He found solace in Abona's kindness and guidance, as he was the first person who didn't judge him for his mistakes and instead offered him genuine support.

At this point, Enel bore no hatred towards the inhabitants of Skypiea, including those who had wronged him.

Instead, he shouldered the burden of his people's disappearance and sought redemption for his perceived failures.

Elsewhere in the shrine's courtyard, Abona reclined on a chair made of soft, fluffy clouds, finding it far more comfortable than any seat from the Blue Sea.

Enel stood nearby, still unsure of how to fully adapt to this new life. Yet, with no need to worry about food or survival, he slowly began integrating into this peaceful lifestyle.

During their time together, Abona shared knowledge of the world beyond Skypiea, explaining matters of navigation, science, and technology.

These exchanges marked only the beginning of Enel's transformation and growth under Abona's mentorship.
