Bang, bang, bang, bang…
Boom, boom, boom, boom…
"30,000,000 Volt: Lightning Bird!"
"Fist of Love!"
"30,000,000 Volt: Lightning Beast!"
"Fist of Love!"
"60,000,000 Volt: Thunder Dragon!"
"Fist of Love!"
"Thunder Bolt Kick!"
"Fist of Love!"
"Armament Haki Hardening, Hand Blade: Raiken!"
"Fist of Love!"
"Bastard! Is that the only move you have!!"
Enel roared, beside himself with frustration.
"Bwahahahaha! One move is all I need!"
Garp burst into laughter, tears practically streaming from his eyes.
"El Thor!"
"Fist of Love!"
"Lightning Lance!"
"Fist of Love!"
"Bastard!!"
"Bwahahahaha!"
In the area of Dock One, a streak of fast black shadow and a blinding flash of lightning continuously collided at super-high speeds invisible to the naked eye. Accompanied by furious roars of exasperation and loud bursts of laughter, violent shockwaves constantly erupted, kicking up a skyful of dust. Countless bolts of lightning danced wildly in the air, leaving the surroundings in a state of utter destruction.
Scattered rocks flew everywhere, and the booming never ceased. The ship dock walls, dozens of meters high and two meters thick, were constantly being blasted with holes by the aerial punches or the wild electricity.
Outside the ship dock.
Zoro and the others, who had just arrived, were all dumbfounded by the terrifying spectacle of lightning dancing across the sky.
"Hey, hey… A Devil Fruit user who controls lightning, is this also a monster?" Zoro was dripping cold sweat.
"To be able to fight with Garp-san, he truly lives up to the name 'God Enel'!" Coby exclaimed in horror.
"Grandpa, and that guy…" Luffy clenched his fists in frustration.
"Why would such a powerful person come looking for us? Waaah, waaaah~" Nami cried, clutching Chopper.
"That ability… a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It's too terrifying!" Even a hint of fear appeared in Robin's eyes.
"Luffy-san, why would that man come for you? Did you offend him or the power behind him?" Coby turned and asked.
"I don't know. I've never even met him," Luffy shook his head blankly, then asked, "What kind of pirate crew is he with?"
"That man is a Commander-level cadre of the Chris Pirates, a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user. He's infamous in the second half of the Grand Line. Countless pirate crews, big and small, have been wiped out by his hand. He's even challenged the pirate Yonko, who rule the New World, several times. Although he fails every time, he's always managed to successfully escape from the Yonko. He could be called one of the two sharp blades of the Chris Pirates," Coby explained the information he knew with lingering fear.
"New World? Pirate Yonko?" Luffy listened, somewhat confused.
"The final great sea that extends past the Red Line. People call it by another name, the New World. It's the ocean where those who will forge the next era gather, and those who rule that sea are the Pirate Kings!" Coby said seriously. "Among the pirates as numerous as the stars, the four pirates who stand alongside Whitebeard in power, who reign over the second half of the Grand Line like emperors, are called the Yonko. The only ones who can truly contend with the Yonko are the Marines and the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"That's incredible!" Luffy's crew listened in stunned silence.
"We hear that the Yonko are monsters among monsters. To escape with one's life from the Yonko even once is enough to be considered a world-class figure," Coby stated gravely. "And that man has successfully escaped from the Yonko several times. Although he takes advantage of his Devil Fruit ability, it's still enough to demonstrate his power."
"Wait a minute… the Chris Pirates!" Nami suddenly realized something, covering her face in horror. "Isn't that Aeridar's pirate crew… We stole their gold on Sky Island!"
"Y-yes, that's right. When we ran away, I think we heard them yelling that Aeridar-sama and God-sama were coming to get revenge on us." Sanji's face also turned grim.
"G-g-g-god-sama… Don't tell me they meant that person?!" Chopper's teeth were chattering in fear.
"It is likely the case. We've been targeted by the Chris Pirates," Robin said with a heavy expression.
Hearing that the Straw Hats had been targeted by the Chris Pirates, the surrounding Marines couldn't help but look at Luffy and the others with pity.
Boom!
Suddenly, a tall, thick wall exploded. Countless fragments of stone shot out, impacting the ground like high-velocity bullets, leaving deep indentations. At the same time, a black figure flew out rapidly, tearing a furrow dozens of meters long and a deep crater into the ground before finally coming to a stop. Enel spat out a mouthful of blood and climbed out of the crater in a state of disarray.
"You bastard, Garp! This God will end you!"
Enel's furious roar echoed. In an instant, the lightning flared brightly. Countless violent electrical currents danced wildly, making loud crackling noises.
Immediately afterward, the immense, chaotic electricity contracted into Enel's body. His body inflated like a balloon, quickly transforming into a giant, blue-and-white lightning titan with spiked hair and a bloated stomach. It was nearly twenty meters tall.
That massive body composed of lightning was revealed before countless people. With electricity coiling around him, he truly looked like a gigantic God of Thunder descending upon the world, radiating an immense sense of oppression that fully displayed the posture of a thunder god.
"What is that?!"
"God of Thunder?!"
"Hey, hey! Isn't this way too much?!"
Innumerable people stared blankly at the sight, their legs threatening to give out.
"Grandpa!"
Luffy was shocked and rushed out. He simultaneously bit his right thumb and forcefully blew air into it.
Hoooooo—
As he ran, Luffy's right arm violently swelled up like an inflated balloon, instantly becoming gargantuan, resembling the limb of a giant.
"Luffy!"
"Luffy-san!"
Nami, Coby, and the others cried out in surprise.
"Gear 3: Gum-Gum… Giant Pistol!!!"
Accompanying Luffy's shout, the giant-like arm clenched into a fist and slammed fiercely towards Enel in his Amaru state.
"Arrogant brat! Die!"
Enel was enraged to see the seemingly ant-like Luffy attacking him. He met Luffy's punch directly with his own.
Bang!
The air trembled. A terrifying force unleashed a ferocious shockwave that spread in all directions. A powerful electrical flash instantly enveloped Luffy's entire body.
"It's no use!"
Luffy roared in mid-air and shook his body violently, immediately dissipating the electricity all over him.
"Nani?!"
Enel was horrified. This brat was actually fighting him on equal footing.
No, his ability wasn't having its proper effect. Even the old man Whitebeard wouldn't dare to tank 200 million volts of powerful current.
But the opponent had a rubber body and was completely immune to his lightning, leaving only pure physical strength. And on that front, he was at a distinct disadvantage.
