However, having learned from previous failed attempts to electrocute Marco, Enel didn't dare be overconfident this time.
He quickly turned to look at Monet, hoping to gauge the effectiveness of his attack from her expression.
Unfortunately, Monet's face remained completely expressionless.
She harbored not the slightest doubt that Jake could defeat Enel.
After all, Jake had long mastered the power of lightning—how could he possibly die by it?
With such unwavering confidence, Monet never once considered the possibility of Jake losing this battle.
Every move Jake made, she interpreted as him toying with Enel.
Seeing Monet's expression, a sense of unease crept into Enel's heart.
His Mantra was fully active, but the area struck by the lightning explosion was so saturated with energy that even he couldn't discern the exact situation within.
But soon, Enel realized he didn't need to probe further—because Jake was already stepping out of the lightning unharmed.
Far from being reduced to charcoal, Jake didn't even have a single tear in his clothes.
"Impossible! How could you possibly be unscathed after 60 million volts?! That attack could even kill giant White Sea fish hundreds of meters long!"
Jake couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction at Enel's disbelief.
There was only one fundamental reason he could withstand Enel's attack.
The passive skill from his Priest class—Holy Light Infusion!
Not only did it convert all of Jake's attacks into Holy Light attribute attacks, but it also increased his resistance by 20.
On top of that, all his abnormal status resistances were boosted by an additional 5%!
As a result, Enel's 60 million volts barely amounted to 45 million volts when striking Jake.
Moreover, Jake had another crucial reason for daring to challenge Enel one-on-one: he had discovered that his Thunder Summoning could effectively absorb Enel's electrical attacks!
As long as he had enough stamina, all of Enel's lightning-based assaults would be rendered useless.
Jake had figured this out during his time on the Moby Dick, though not without getting electrocuted several times in the process.
To ensure he could summon enough lighting when the time came, Jake had devoted nearly all his energy—outside of basic training—to mastering the Thunder Summoning.
By the time they reached Sky Island, he had finally raised it to LV4.
"Thunder Summoning LV4: An amulet capable of summoning or absorbing lightning attacks with an approximate discharge of 10 million volts. In absorption mode, it reduces the user's stamina consumption by 60% and casting time by 75%!"
Upon reaching LV4, Jake looked at the almost ridiculously overpowered ability description and knew there was no way he could lose to Enel now.
And indeed, that was exactly the case.
Enel's 60-million-volt Thunder Dragon earlier hadn't even scratched him.
The moment he was attacked, Jake had summoned a full twelve Thunder Summoning Amulets.
These twelve amulets were more than enough to neutralize all of Enel's current attacks.
Unless Enel used his "200 Million Volt Discharge" technique.
But that was an extremely taxing ultimate move for Enel.
Even if Jake chose to take it head-on, it wouldn't cause significant damage.
First, with his 25% damage reduction, 200 million volts would effectively become 150 million.
His amulets could neutralize 120 million of that, leaving only 30 million volts.
With Armament Haki and Holy Light Protection activated, the remaining discharge wouldn't even hurt much.
Second, even if Enel could use 200 Million Volt Discharge multiple times, Jake had plenty of Healing Prayers to spare.
He could easily outlast Enel in a battle of endurance - an area where Jake had complete confidence in his superiority.
These two points formed the foundation of Jake's absolute confidence in today's battle!
Not giving Enel even a moment to react, Jake took advantage of his opponent's stunned confusion.
His arm coated in jet-black Armament Haki while a pale golden glow enveloped his body, he delivered a devastating punch to the same abdomen Marco had previously kicked.
For Enel, who hadn't trained physically since obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Jake's martial arts enhanced with Armament Haki was an unbearable level of attack.
Just this single blow left Enel's head spinning.
It felt as if both his consciousness and soul had been knocked out of his body by the impact.
A metallic taste filled his throat as both stomach acid and blood sprayed from his mouth.
But Enel knew better than anyone that falling into Jake's attack rhythm now would mean certain, humiliating defeat.
Without hesitation, he used minor electric shocks to forcibly maintain his mental clarity and immediately unleashed his strongest currently available attack towards Jake.
"200 Million Volt Discharge! Raigou!"
Terrifying currents manifested above Enel's head in an instant.
All traces of his arrogance gone, he now resembled a wild beast as he headbutted the thunderball towards Jake.
Seeing the incoming thunderball, Jake initially didn't want to take it directly.
But this was precisely the most broken aspect of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit - its attacks were virtually undodgeable, equivalent to every strike being one of Kizaru's light-speed kicks, albeit without the same level of power.
Realizing he couldn't evade the attack, Jake decisively activated Holy Light Protection and Armament Haki, immediately summoning twelve Thunder Summoning Amulets to shield himself.
Yet even so, the sensation of millions of volts coursing through his body left his entire being numb.
His whole body burned with searing pain, his clothes now slightly charred.
But seeing Enel's disheveled state, Jake gritted his teeth and charged through the electric onslaught straight towards him.
"Right-Angle Sword Technique: Holy Light Phoenix!"
A lightsaber materialized in Jake's hand as he swung it directly at Enel's heart.
A piercing avian shriek echoed.
Enel felt his scalp tingle, every cell in his body screaming in resistance against death.
