The members of the Whitebeard Pirates showed no trace of concern upon hearing Jake's words.
They simply laughed and said.
"Oh! Rare to see you so fired up for a fight, Jake! Hahaha, must be because of that lil god Devil Fruit right? Well then, we'll leave this to you. Though I'm curious about your battle, as pirates, we're far more eager to see the City of Gold. So~ see you later!"
Marco chuckled as he led the crew running towards the ruins below.
Every Whitebeard Pirates who passed by Jake greeted him with cheerful smiles.
Enel remained motionless where he stood, but through Jake's Observation Haki, he could sense Enel continuously stimulating his own heart with electric shocks while constantly repairing his body.
Jake didn't expose Enel's actions.
To Jake, since Enel had consumed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he absolutely had to die here.
Devil Fruits only reincarnate into nearby fruits after their user's death.
This was an ancient ruin and being on Sky Island, there were practically no fruits around.
But Jake was different—he'd bought a large bag of apples back in Mock Town and carried them precisely to prevent such situations.
As for whether killing Enel would weigh on Jake's conscience?
Clearly not.
In the original story, Enel's crimes warranted death ten thousand times over.
Whether it was his hometown Birka, slaughtering all the priests afterward, or attempting to destroy Angel Island with the Ark Maxim—Enel was undoubtedly a complete madman.
Jake wouldn't feel an ounce of pity eliminating such a lunatic.
Monet glanced at Jake and gave a slight nod.
Instead of following the Whitebeard Pirates towards the City of Gold, she took two steps back.
At that moment, veins bulged on Enel's forehead.
His voice grew shrill with rage as he glared at Jake.
"You bastard! Daring to show off in front of a woman while fighting a god? Then I'll make you watch your beloved woman turn to ashes and charcoal under divine punishment!"
"30,000,000 Volt Discharge!"
As Enel shouted, a terrifying electric bird materialized in the air, its crackling currents sounding like the creature's shrieks.
Under Enel's command, the monstrous thunderbird charged straight towards Monet.
The attack was so fast that it left almost no room to react.
Watching the woman who was about to be electrocuted into charcoal, Enel's lips curled into a twisted smile.
To him, killing her would surely devastate Jake's morale while also restoring some of the dignity he had lost after being kicked flying earlier.
Just the thought of it made Enel feel a dull ache in his abdomen.
Damn Blue Sea dweller!
Once his body recovers, he'll definitely use his most powerful technique to turn that bastard pineapple-head into charcoal with electricity!
The current surged towards Monet, but in the next moment, Enel froze again.
The smile on his face hadn't fully formed before it stiffened.
The Thunder Bird he'd just released seemed to slow down drastically as it approached Monet.
Both the intensity of the current and its speed toward Monet became extremely sluggish.
Moreover, Enel made a terrifying discovery—he was gradually losing control over the Thunder Bird!
What the hell was happening?!
Enel's internal alarms blared.
Having his attack blocked was one thing, but now he couldn't even control the Thunder Bird?
What kind of situation was this?
The next moment, countless icy winds swept through.
Within dozens of meters around Monet, thick snow began falling at an incredible rate.
In barely a second, the Thunder Bird that Enel had pinned his hopes on was completely buried beneath the snowstorm.
Then, Enel kicked a pebble at his feet, sending it flying towards Monet.
But Monet didn't dodge or evade.
What happened next made Enel frown again.
The divine phenomenon that should only occur with him was now manifesting on Monet as well.
The pebble he'd kicked passed right through Monet's body and the penetrated area slowly repaired itself in the form of swirling snowflakes.
Seeing this, Enel was momentarily stunned before his face lit up with understanding.
"Oh ho! It seems you're like me—a divine existence. I am the incarnation of lightning, while you appear to be the incarnation of snow. Since we're both gods, you qualify to be my partner. Why don't we become companions right here? That way, we can—"
Before Enel could finish, Monet's expression turned frigid.
She raised her hand, and hundreds of snow pillars several meters long materialized before her—each composed of compressed, steel-hard snowflakes.
"Disgusting creature, get lost!"
As Monet attacked Enel, she secretly glanced at Jake's reaction.
Relieved to see he wasn't angry about the situation, she exhaled slightly.
She didn't want Jake developing any misunderstandings because of that bastard's nonsense.
Though... if Jake did get a little jealous, she might—just might—feel even happier!
Facing Monet's assault, Enel merely sighed and said.
"It seems I still have a long way to go."
Then, his body dissolved into a flash of lightning, evading Monet's attack while simultaneously appearing behind Jake.
Blue electric light gathered in his palm as he struck towards Jake's back.
"60,000,000 Volts: Thunder Dragon!"
As Enel's voice rang out, a lightning dragon several meters long emerged from behind him.
The thunderous serpent coiled around Enel's arm before charging straight towards Jake.
Lightning erupted across Jake's body, and a faint smile appeared on Enel's lips.
With this level of power, that Blue Sea dweller should be thoroughly dead by now, right?
Enel took a deep breath, gazing at the lingering electrical glow before him, seemingly regaining his divine arrogance.
