"He actually blocked it!!"
When the crowd witnessed this scene, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Bwahahahaha!"
Inside Dock One, Garp practically spat out his laughter, guffawing wildly. "Hahahaha! Lightning boy, my grandson is pretty good, isn't he! Hahahaha!"
"Bastard! Blasphemer! Don't get cocky!"
At that moment, Enel fell into a frenzy of rage.
Immediately after, the electricity all over Enel's body surged violently once more. Countless currents as thick as barrels tore up the ground.
The chaotic electricity formed a terrifying, plasma-like energy that seemed to take on a physical form, rapidly wrapping around him inch by inch to create an armor shaped like a Tengu. Furthermore, Enel's body in his Amaru state grew segment by segment, reaching a height of nearly fifty to sixty meters.
Thud!
He stomped a foot on the ground, and the earth shook.
Clad in the Tengu-shaped armor and holding a bolt of lightning, like the 'Thunderbolt' in Zeus's hand, his colossal body was awe-inspiring, sending a chill down people's spines.
400,000,000 Volt: True God of Thunder!!!
The once clear sky had become heavily overcast, with lightning snakes weaving and churning within the clouds, followed by rumbling thunder.
Enel's massive electrical power caused the entire city of Water 7 to be filled with static electricity, even making many people's hair stand on end.
"What is that?"
The terrifying presence even shocked the usually fearless and careless Luffy, who stared wide-eyed.
"RAAAAH!"
The giant God of Thunder roared up at the sky. A circle of sound waves abruptly exploded, forming a savage gale that blew away large clouds of dust and debris.
"Die, Straw Hat Boy!"
Wreathed in a sharp, howling gale, the Lightning Spear descended from the heavens, as if it were a thunderbolt split from the sky, violently stabbing toward Luffy.
"You fool!!"
Garp bellowed, his voice shaking the entire area.
Clang!
Garp stepped with Geppo, placing a fist directly on the tip of the Lightning Spear. Like a tiny ant trying to contend with a god, the impact produced a strong, metallic clang.
BOOOM!!!
The massive explosion, accompanied by scattering electricity, caused a violent tremor in the air. A shocking blast of air spread out like a hurricane, the sheer force of the impact radiating through the upper layer of the entire Water 7.
Thump! Thump!
The giant God of Thunder staggered, taking two steps back before finding his balance.
Rumble!
Garp rapidly descended from mid-air, smashing a crater nearly ten meters in diameter into the ground. A spiderweb of cracks covered the ground for dozens of meters around, and a powerful gust of wind blew up a large amount of dust.
"Gulp."
"M-Monsters?!"
Countless people watched the scene unfold before them, swallowing hard.
The sight was as astonishing as an ant tipping over an elephant.
"Enel brat, starting a fight with the Marines here…" Garp's eyes were sharp, and he demanded sternly, "Are you trying to die?!"
"Garp the Bastard! I'm going to sink you, your grandson, and the entire city of Water 7 into the sea!" The colossal God of Thunder opened its mouth, issuing a deep voice that echoed throughout Water 7, the content of which was truly appalling.
"Enel brat. Don't go saying such things so easily."
Garp's face turned cold, a hint of killing intent in his tone. "In front of this old man, you're still miles away!"
Ommm!
The air trembled, making a strange sound. An incomparable pressure erupted from Garp, seemingly filling every inch of the atmosphere.
"Conqueror's Haki… How is that possible?!"
Enel's breathing hitched. He felt his body grow heavy, as if he were burdened by a colossal mountain. For a moment, he felt as if he saw the world-shaking Whitebeard, the peerlessly dominant Shanks, and his own captain, Golden Ring Aeridar.
This was the first time he had ever witnessed Conqueror's Haki being used by a Marine.
Immediately, Enel was struck by a wave of annoyance. His gigantic roar turned into a rolling wave of sound. "You're just an old Marine soldier! Don't get ahead of yourself!"
"Enel-dono! Please calm your rage!"
At that moment, a voice rang out.
Everyone looked over to see a serious-faced, purple-haired man slowly approaching with a megaphone.
"I am Iceburg, the Mayor of Water 7 and President of the Galley-La Company! We have a very good cooperative relationship with your kingdom!" Iceburg nervously shouted towards the massive God of Thunder Enel.
In truth, looking at the immense body and the lightning snakes flying in the sky, Iceburg was also highly nervous, but as Mayor, he desperately did not want to see Water 7 reduced to ruins or even sunk into the sea.
"What the hell does that have to do with me!" Enel roared deep in his chest, violently snapping, "Right now, I only want to sink this city, this entire island, into the ocean!"
"Iceburg boy! Just stand aside! Protecting this place is the duty of this old man as a Marine!" Hearing Enel's reply, Garp stepped in front of Iceburg and shouted at Luffy, "Luffy-chan, take him away! This place is too far out of your league now!"
"Damn it! Iceburg-ossan! Let's go!" Luffy, now shrunken into his child-like form, grit his teeth. He glanced at the gigantic, armor-clad God of Thunder, then turned and left with Iceburg.
Luffy knew that while his rubber body made him immune to the opponent's electricity, the lightning was now condensed into a physical form. If he insisted on taking the hit, he would simply be impaled.
"None of you are getting away! Die!"
The God of Thunder roared, raising the 'Thunderbolt' in its hand and striking out again, carrying a sharp, howling gale.
"You troublesome brat. I won't hold back anymore!"
Garp's eyes sharpened. A powerful aura, subtle but present, emanated from him. His body was tense like a drawn bow, and his fist, like an arrow, was fully poised to strike.
"Stop, Enel!"
Suddenly, a faint voice drifted down from the sky.
The God of Thunder's body froze, and the 'Thunderbolt' stopped dead in mid-air.
"Hahahaha! Golden Ring boy, you've arrived!" Hearing the voice, Garp relaxed and burst into laughter.
He immediately complained, "Are your subordinates all lunatics?! I was about to drag this Lightning brat to Impel Down! He's too reckless!"
A young man wearing a black coat with a white wave pattern slowly descended from the sky. Aeridar glanced at Garp, then said, "You brought this upon yourselves!"
Thud.
Aeridar landed on the ground. He first looked at Luffy, who was not far away, then beckoned toward the colossal God of Thunder with the majestic body.
In the next moment, Enel in his True God of Thunder state straightened up. His massive lightning body dissipated inch by inch, quickly reverting to a long-eared man with a somewhat pale face and multiple injuries.
"Captain," Enel walked over, his expression sullen, and called out softly.
"Golden Ring boy! What did my grandson do to offend you, that you're causing such a huge commotion, even going so far as to try and sink an island?" Garp walked up to Aeridar with an displeased expression and demanded aggressively.
