Kanata channeled her Haki into the ice, constructing a massive dome. This was "Niflheim Silver World"— an inescapable domain where she could freely manipulate the frigid air. The temperature within the dome plummeted as a constant stream of icy air swirled, relentlessly draining her opponent's body heat. It was a secret technique that had even rendered the "Golden Lion" himself helpless.
However, Octavia was a lightning-wielding Logia user. The energy she could generate was immense, capable of rapidly expanding the air with its heat. Kanata's dome was a gamble, a desperate attempt to weaken Octavia and create an environment where she could attack from all directions.
"You think you can defeat me with this–”
Octavia began concentrating lightning in her right arm, and in that instant, Kanata created a barrage of ice spears, materializing them beside Octavia’s left side. Octavia reacted instantly, unleashing a bolt of lightning to shatter the spears, but more appeared, materializing behind her.
While Octavia's Armament Haki was stronger, Kanata had the upper hand in Observation Haki. Even the strongest defense had its weaknesses. Kanata relentlessly exploited those openings, hoping to deal even a sliver of damage.
“Damn it… You’re annoying!!”
Frustrated by the constant attacks from her blind spots, Octavia unleashed a wave of lightning in all directions. The ice spears shattered with deafening cracks, shards ricocheting within the dome. Kanata charged through the barrage, slamming a massive pillar of ice into Octavia. The ice, reinforced with Haki, was far more durable than Octavia had anticipated. She caught the pillar with her spear.
“–!”
“–Ha!!”
The moment she blocked the attack, Kanata appeared beside her, aiming a slash at her neck. Octavia narrowly dodged the attack, and retaliated with her spear, enveloped in black lightning. Kanata’s ice shield, reinforced with Haki, shattered, and their gazes locked.
“Still lacking.”
“This isn’t over yet!”
The frigid air was constantly draining Octavia’s body heat, forcing her to constantly use her ability to counter it. Unlike those who wielded fire or similar abilities, generating heat with lightning was inefficient. Octavia was under constant strain.
Unable to fully utilize her power for offense, she was at a disadvantage within Kanata’s domain. However, Octavia wouldn't be defeated so easily.
“1 Billion Volts – Indra!!”
A powerful blast of lightning struck the ice dome, shattering half of it.
(…And it’s only half destroyed. It’s sturdier than I thought.)
It wasn’t an attack an ordinary structure could withstand. Perhaps it was because of Octavia, or perhaps this was how Kanata always constructed her dome… Regardless, she had to destroy it in one blow or it would regenerate instantly.
And within her domain, Kanata could manipulate the ice to weaken Octavia’s attacks.
Realizing this wouldn't work, Octavia abandoned Indra and prepared to unleash her full power.
“Don’t think I’ll let you–”
“I don't. But your Observation Haki alone won't be enough to defeat me.”
Kanata moved to intercept, but Octavia ignored her, focusing all her energy into her left arm, charging it with a massive amount of lightning and Haki. She deflected the incoming ice projectiles with her bare hands, aiming to destroy the dome with a single, concentrated blast.
“2 Billion Volts – Sky Piercing Bolt: Taranis Jabro!”
It was Octavia’s most powerful attack.
It shattered the ice shields Kanata created, hurtling towards her relentlessly. She realized she couldn’t block it and escaped through the dome’s wall.
She created another wall of ice to block the attack and prepared to counter.
“Fenriswolf Devouring Wolf!!”
A wolf made of ice lunged from behind, attempting to tear off Octavia’s right arm. But she didn’t even flinch. She glanced at the wolf, but didn't bother to defend herself, focusing solely on Kanata. As if to say, “Is that all you’ve got?”
The ice wall shattered by the impact of Octavia’s attack, but the lightning continued, engulfing Kanata.

“Yahahahaha!! What a magnificent sight!”
Enel, leading a force of 200 soldiers, laughed triumphantly as he stood before the Twilight Pirates, who were preparing to depart.
Such a massive galleon was unnecessary in the sky. Even the pirates who visited Skypiea didn’t use ships this large.
The giant on board the ship, and the Devil Fruit users… Enel was fascinated.
George disembarked and confronted Enel alone.
“So, you’re one of those priests too, huh?”
“Yahaha, only those four can call themselves priests. I’m the captain of the God’s Army – The one who leads the soldiers.”
“So you’re Octavia’s subordinate… This is troublesome.”
“Not exactly subordinates. She probably sees us as convenient tools.”
Even then, Octavia was an absolute figure to them. As inhabitants of a Sky Island, they naturally revered someone who had reached the pinnacle of power.
“God desires your ship. She wants us to destroy it.”
“You think we’ll just let you do that?”
“Your opinions are irrelevant. If God desires it, then we will offer our lives to fulfill her wish. That is what faith means.”
Enel took out a bazooka and loaded a Dial Shell into it. He aimed it at the ship and, ignoring George’s protests, pulled the trigger.
The bazooka didn't fire bullets.
Instead, it released a blast of gas from a Breath Dial, igniting it to create a blue-white flame that incinerated everything in its path.
It was called the “Burn Bazooka” – a weapon unique to Skypiea.
“Yahaha! With a hole in its side, it won’t be going anywhere!!”
“Damn it!”
George immediately created a wall of earth to protect the ship, but it was too thin. The Burn Bazooka pierced through it towards the ship.
If he could use the Kitsunebi-ryu style like Kanata, it would have been a different story, but he couldn’t stop it.
He broke out in a cold sweat, but Kaie, who had leaped from the ship, transformed into her Gorgon form and shielded the vessel with her massive body.
Her beast form was as large as a giant. It was more than enough to block a single blast from the Burn Bazooka.
The scales covering her body completely negated the flames. There wasn’t even a burn mark.
“Thank you, Kaie. Kanata would be furious if the ship was destroyed.”
“You’re too careless. We could simply lift the ship into the air and move out of range.”
“You’re right.”
George activated his ability, lifting the entire ship into the air. Even Enel was stunned. He was impressed by their unique abilities.
“To think he could lift such a massive ship… But we can’t let them escape. Archers!”
Enel gave the order, and the soldiers, armed with bows, fired their arrows at the ship. It wasn’t a direct attack.
“What is that? A path made of clouds?”
“Milky Dial. You Blue Sea dwellers wouldn’t understand the ways of sky combat.”
Paths of cloud appeared, following the trajectory of the arrows, and the soldiers used them to board the ship. But as they approached – Kaie swatted them away, clouds and all.
“You think you can ignore me and reach the ship?”
“I see… A Zoan Devil Fruit user. This is troublesome.”
Among the various Devil Fruits, Zoan types specialized in enhancing physical abilities. And with a body as large as a giant’s, capable of moving at high speeds, even Enel wouldn’t be able to defeat her. She wasn't invincible like a Logia user, but she was close.
However, if she wasn't invincible, then there was still a chance.
“I have other Dial Shells –”
He tried to switch Dial Shells, but his body wouldn't move. His gaze met Kaie's.
He had been petrified.
“What is this?!”
“My Devil Fruit ability is a Mythical Zoan. It’s not just about enhancing physical strength.”
Armament Haki could offer some resistance, but none of the priests possessed it. One after another, they were petrified until all 200 soldiers had fallen silent.
Kaie returned to her human form and boarded the floating ship.
They were weak, but perhaps it was to be expected, considering they were simply servants to Octavia.
Why had she even used them in the first place? He wondered –
“…Perhaps she no longer needs them.”
“Who knows. But it doesn't seem like good news for us.”
Abandoning her servants meant that she no longer needed them.
Perhaps she was waiting for Kanata, intending to kill her and return to the sea… George pondered, but it was unclear.
“We can only trust that Kanata will win and leave this island –”
As he spoke, a deafening roar shook the ship, sending shockwaves across the island.
The ship tilted precariously, but managed to regain its balance. They looked down at Upper Yard below.
“That’s…!”
“It’s Kanata’s ice. And there’s lightning running through it.”
A massive dome of ice had shattered, and a bolt of lightning was streaking towards Angel Island.
That must have been the source of the roar.
She had defeated Shiki with ease, but… perhaps even Kanata couldn’t defeat Octavia.
“Kanata-san…”
They were concerned, but there was nothing they could do.
They were simply too weak to intervene in a battle between those two.
***
Octavia’s lightning was powerful. It streaked across the sky from Upper Yard to Angel Island, leaving a trail of destruction. Kanata had managed to dodge the attack, but her body was covered in burns.
“Ugh…!”
Even with the reduced power, the attack had been devastating. The inhabitants of Angel Island gasped when they saw Kanata crash-land, then warned, “Run!” as they noticed Octavia approaching.
Kanata didn't want to involve civilians, but she knew Octavia wouldn't hesitate to attack.
There were no guarantees.
“You’re concerned about others? You’re still too naive.”
Octavia unleashed a barrage of lightning, blocking Kanata’s escape. Kanata deflected some of the attacks with ice, moving towards an uninhabited area. They landed a short distance apart, glaring at each other.
“You’ve gotten stronger. But you never had a proper teacher, did you? You’re still unrefined.”
Octavia implied that simply learning the basics wasn't enough. She herself had learned everything from her mother – spear techniques, Haki, combat skills.
While Kanata’s growth was impressive, considering she had achieved it mostly through self-study, her fighting style was undeniably rough around the edges. And her Haki was still developing.
“I’ve shown you my full power. Whether you can surpass me is up to you.”
“What…?”
Her words, as if inviting Kanata to defeat her, made Kanata frown. Before she could question her further, a massive wave of lightning erupted.
It was an attack large enough to engulf Angel Island.
There was no escape. Kanata gritted her teeth and activated her ability, channeling her Haki into the ice to counter the attack.
As ice walls shattered behind her, Octavia approached Kanata and clashed with her. Black lightning enveloped her spear.
“You’re wasting your time trying to protect strangers. Are you really that strong? Strong enough to worry about others while fighting me?”
“Shut up! You don’t know anything about me… So don’t pretend you do!”
Kanata retorted after deflecting Octavia’s attack. She refused to involve civilians. Even if she didn't have the time, she wouldn't stoop to Octavia’s level.
She wouldn't become the person she hated. She continued to fight, despite the immense strain.
Her superior Observation Haki allowed her to dodge Octavia’s attacks, but she couldn't avoid the large-scale attacks. Her advantage was slowly being chipped away, and a concentrated blast struck her.
Octavia's attacks were powerful. Kanata endured them, occasionally counterattacking. But the difference in their strength was too vast to overcome.
Their battle continued for an entire day and night, and the one who reached her limit first was Kanata. She collapsed at the edge of Angel Island, which was now barely recognizable.
Octavia sighed.
“…It’s still too early. But it doesn’t matter. I can awaken your potential by pushing you to your limits.”
She wasn't strong enough yet, but blood was thicker than water. Whether she had inherited Octavia’s or Rocks’s blood, Kanata’s potential was undeniable.
She could draw it out by pushing her further. She raised her spear, but instinctively leaped back.
“Fufu… You’re still glaring at me, even unconscious? Your fighting spirit reminds me of Xebec.”
Kanata was still radiating Haki, even though she had lost consciousness. Octavia chuckled. She had high hopes for her daughter. – Three figures descended from the sky, landing beside Kanata.
Kaie, Teach, and Izo.
“What do you want?” she asked.
“We’re Kanata’s subordinates,” Kaie replied.
“Zehahahaha!! I couldn’t just stand by and watch her get killed! I’m going to take you down!”
“Stay back!”
“Novem’s subordinates… You can’t possibly be unaware of the difference in our strength. And you still choose to stand before me?”
“Of course!!”
The ship descended behind them, and Feiyun quickly picked up and carried Kanata to the infirmary. They had to prioritize her treatment.
“…The power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi… I heard Shiki was dead. So you inherited his Devil Fruit.”
George hadn’t appeared. He was likely aware he was outmatched, and had to focus on escaping with Kanata. He couldn't afford to fight.
Feiyun returned from the ship and faced Octavia.
Four against one, but the odds were still in Octavia’s favor. She had been fighting for an entire day, but she showed no signs of fatigue.
“I’ll ask just once. Will you hand over Novem?”
“You mean my captain? No way!!”
Teach grinned, rejecting Octavia’s ultimatum.
“I see – That’s unfortunate.”
With that, Octavia once again wrapped black lightning around the spear in her left hand.
