Chapter 55: Enel
The ‘God’s Guards’, completely defeated.
Enel observed every single detail from his shrine.
With the ‘Goro Goro no Mi’ and his adept use of Kenbunshoku Haki, known as “Mantra,” Enel’s range of perception has been greatly amplified. He can now tap into electromagnetic waves from the air, enabling him to effortlessly eavesdrop on conversations and sense the environment with an extraordinary scope. This expanded reach of his Mantra covers vast territories, encompassing the entirety of Skypiea and beyond.
Due to his immense power, Enel narrowly evaded being eliminated by Shiki, the Golden Lion, during their conquest of Skypiea years ago. Instead, he successed to make him a partner. However, as circumstances unfolded, Enel indirectly found himself in a position of subordination to Shiki, becoming his subordinate rather than an equal partner.
Shiki had ruthlessly abducted all the young men and women of Skypiea, leaving Enel’s supposed divinity to appear as nothing more than a cruel joke.
“Tsk… Shiki you bastard!! …”
Inside the temple, Enel slumped against a wall, cradling his head in his hands, while his left wrist emitted a pulsating surge of electricity.
“So, these are the so-called ‘Marines’ they boasted about. They don’t seem particularly impressive… But now that they’ve discovered Skypiea’s secret, I can’t let them live. Prepare for the wrath of the gods!”
In an instant, a searing bolt of lightning shot up into the sky from Enel’s wrist!
Using his precise ‘Mantra’, the attack traveled thousands of miles away, descending from the sky!
—————————————————————–
In the village, Saitama was engaged in a conversation with Tashigi.
Suddenly, the surroundings were engulfed in blinding whiteness!
The residents of Skypiea displayed expressions of fear and astonishment on their faces.
Saitama looked up and witnessed a massive lightning column tearing through the sky, swiftly descending towards him!
“A thunderous explosion!” echoed through the air.
In that split second, before anyone could react, Saitama swiftly pushed Tashigi aside, but he was consumed by the lightning column, disappearing within the intense radiance.
As everyone regained their senses,
It became evident that the very spot where Saitama had stood had transformed into a colossal, abyssal crater!
Pitch-black and ominously deep, its depths shrouded in impenetrable darkness!
“Saitama-san!!”
Tashigi exclaimed in shock as she hurriedly rushed towards him, her face pale with worry.
Without hesitation, she prepared to jump down into the deep pit. “Hold on, I’m coming to save you!”
“Phew… That was close!”
Saitama, standing at the bottom of the huge crater, looked up and waved at Tashigi, gesturing for her to hold on. “I’m good, no need for you to jump in.”
“Huh?”
Tashigi stood at the edge of the hole, her expression filled with disbelief. “But… You were directly struck by that intense lightning… How can you be unscathed?”
“I dunno.”
Saitama reached out to touch himself, contemplating the situation. “Hmm… Now that you mention it, there’s something different…”
With agility, he effortlessly vaulted over the pit, landing on the other side, his eyes lifting towards the sky. “Seriously, it’s kinda weird… There was no rain, so where did that thunderclap come from?”
“That thunder… it’s Heaven’s Judgment.”
The middle-aged woman, trembling with fear, spoke with a shaky voice. “The God wield lightning as a punishment for those who dare to defy him. He sees everything… You, you’ve been caught!”
“Heaven’s Judgment.”
Saitama paused for a moment, realization slowly dawning on him. “So you’re saying someone actually caused that thunder on purpose!”
But little did Saitama know, Enel inside the temple was taken aback when he realized that Saitama was still alive.
“What? How is this guy still standing?” Enel muttered in disbelief, raising his hand once again and unleashing a more powerful lightning strike.
“Maybe my power wasn’t enough. Well then, this time I’ll crank it up to 30 million vari.”
–Thirty Million Volts ThunderBird!-
The electrifying surge crackled towards Saitama’s head, accompanied by a thunderous roar!
The impact was even more intense, causing devastation all around.
Yet, Saitama emerged from the chaos unscathed.
“What the heck!” Enel exclaimed in surprise
Saitama gazed up at the sky, his voice filled with exasperation. “Seriously! Are you done with your lightning show, you boring?!”
“What did he just call me? Boring!?”
Enel’s anger flared up, his grip tightening around the golden staff as he viciously pounded the large gray ring on his back, gathering an immense surge of energy!
“You foolish mortal! You think you can challenge a god!
I will kill all of you!”
-Sixty Million Volts Thunder Dragon-
In an instant, a surge of electric currents erupted from the drum, intertwining to form a colossal thunderous dragon. With a deafening roar, it soared into the sky!
The sky darkened, crackling with electric energy.
The divine Thunder Dragon descended, its immense might unleashed upon Saitama with relentless fury!
If it struck this time, the consequences would be far more devastating than a mere crater.
If it made contact this time, the consequences would be catastrophic, spelling doom for the entire village.
“Uh… well, this is…”
Saitama stared up at the colossal thunderous dragon, his thoughts racing.
“Uh… well, this is…”
Saitama’s words trailed off as his attention was captured by a deafening sound emanating from the sky. His gaze fixated on the colossal thunderous dragon, its presence filling him with a sense of urgency. Thoughts raced through his mind as he contemplated the imminent danger.
“If that thing hits me, my clothes are definitely going to be fried… In that case…”
Just as his words hung in the air, Saitama leaped into the sky with astonishing agility, his jump unleashing a burst of raw power that created a visible gap in the air.
Like a blazing bullet, he soared through the air, leaving behind a visible gap, a testament to the tremendous power of his jump.
With unwavering precision, he delivered a powerful punch straight to the Thunder Dragon’s snout.
“Time to send you back!”
In an instant, the Thunder Dragon was ruthlessly kicked back into the heart of the raging thunderclouds, hurtling back towards the temple, tracing its path in reverse.
Enel’s body was left charred and seared, bearing the marks of the explosive impact that had taken.
“Huff…”
A cloud of black smoke billowed from his mouth, as Enel’s face contorted into a mix of pain and fury.
As the embodiment of lightning itself, he had concentrated his immense power into the Thunder Dragon. Yet, against all expectations, that retaliatory punch managed to inflict real harm. If he hadn’t possessed the Goro Goro no Mi Devil Fruit, that single strike would have surely been fatal.
The Thunder God was almost blasted by the thunder he controlled.
“What kind of joke is this!? That moron! How dare he defy me!”
Enel’s fury grew to an uncontrollable extent, causing him to lose all restraint and succumb to reckless impulses.
Exiting the God’s Shrine, he leaped into his colossal flying ark ‘Maxim’, with its massive hull resonating with the hum of electric energy coursing through gilded conduits.
Harnessing the limitless power of Enel’s electrical currents, he soared into the sky, heading straight for Saitama’s location.
It is a meticulously designed flying ark, engineered by Enel and assembled by The Divine Squad, specifically tailored for the purpose of neutralizing the Golden Lion Shiki.
This vessel not only possesses the capability to traverse the skies effortlessly but also wields the power to conjure colossal lightning storms that can reduce entire villages to ashes.
“Damn it!
I had intended to decimate the entire island in one fell swoop!
But never could I have imagined it would occur at this moment!
And all because of that infuriating marine!
The premature revelation of this ark could potentially raise Shiki’s suspicions.
Regardless, there’s no time to fret over that now. I’ll make sure to eliminate those fools who dare to defy me!” Enel seethed, his anger palpable.
“Just thinking about that cheeky troublemaker who had the guts to defy Thunderous Dragon gets me seriously riled up” Enel’s face contorts with fury.
“Consider yourself damn lucky! Being struck down by my ‘Thunder Greeting’ is the highest honor the gods could ever give you! Haaahaha-ha-ha..”
