Chapter 65

This is unnecessary loss of life.

Then...

"I'll go ahead and scout the path," Lord Lord Sima Di said by way of greeting.

He then accelerated, rushing out of the formation to be the first to cross the jungle and arrive before the God Squad.

He collided with the loosely positioned God Squad, who held weapons unique to the Sky Islands—Sky Island Dials—and glared at Lord Lord Sima Di with hostile intent.

But Lord Lord Sima Di paid them no mind; instead, he looked past them in surprise at what lay behind—the grand Shandian ruins!

Although they were on a Sky Island rather than solid ground, the architecture bearing the marks of historical vicissitudes, the sacrificial towers, and the shimmering golden luster all indicated that this had once been a brilliant civilization.

At this moment,

The God Squad launched an offensive against Lord Lord Sima Di, firing their burning cannons in a concentrated volley!

Lord Lord Sima Di did not dodge, standing calmly in place as if he had been frightened out of his wits.

This caused Enel, watching from the far rear, to narrow his eyes in confusion.

"Boom, boom—"

Amidst the violent explosion, Enel’s expression softened.

As the smoke cleared,

One could see Lord Lord Sima Di floating there, completely unharmed; the power of the blast, which had gouged a deep crater beneath his feet, hadn't even managed to ruffle a single hair on his head.

Omnipotent telekinesis is just so useful.

Subsequently...

Golden light ignited in his eyes as he prepared to wipe out everyone before him in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly...

"Zzzzt—"

Enel transformed into a bolt of lightning, coalescing before Lord Lord Sima Di, and arrogantly pointed his chin at him.

"Blue Sea dweller, this god will now give you a chance to submit to him," Enel offered condescendingly.

Lord Lord Sima Di: "..."

He was speechless!

Where did this pretentious prick get his confidence?

Did he think elementalization made him invincible?

However...

"I'm curious, what did you see in me?" Lord Lord Sima Di asked, puzzled.

Although he already had a guess, he still wanted to verify it.

"Hmph, this is this god's final tolerance," Enel said impatiently. "I am actually unable to read your thoughts, which has piqued my interest in you... Blue Sea dweller, before I change my mind, will you submit, or will you die?"

Just as he thought!

Lord Lord Sima Di’s doubts were resolved, so he stopped being polite.

He went straight for the ultimate move!

"What is filial piety?"

This strange question made Enel frown.

"What is love?"

Enel’s expression grew increasingly impatient.

"Do you know the greatness of a mother's love?"

Electric light flared in Enel’s hands as he stared at Lord Lord Sima Di with ill intent.

"Strongest Appraisal Technique!!!"

Enel, just about to warn Lord Lord Sima Di, saw brilliant golden light shoot from Lord Lord Sima Di’s eyes and subconsciously used elementalization to dodge the damage.

But...

How could a causal-level ability be dodged by mere elementalization?

Enel was hit directly, without a doubt!

Along with every member of the God Squad and the Priests behind him, their bellies swelled to the size of a ten-month pregnancy within ten seconds, followed by heart-wrenching pain!

Enel, who had never experienced pain since consuming the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, couldn't hold it together on the spot!

He fell to his knees in pain, eyes wide, clutching the clouds on the ground for dear life.

Pain!

It was too painful!

But the dignity of being a "god" still made him grit his teeth.

But those behind him didn't have such burdens, and one by one, they wailed and cried for their parents.

"It hurts so much!"

"What is this?"

"Am I pregnant?"

"Is that guy a devil?"

"Are we going to give birth to a child?"

Everyone present, without exception, was a man.

Seeing everyone sporting a large belly, a wave of panic spread instantly!

Giving birth?

They were men!

Enel heard these remarks, and combined with the fact that he couldn't read any thoughts from this Blue Sea dweller, the unknown drove him to the brink of madness!

He stood up, enduring the pain, and glared furiously at Lord Lord Sima Di!

"Blue Sea dweller, what have you done?!"

"As you can see, letting you give birth to a child," Lord Lord Sima Di said indifferently.

Enel: "!!!"

Would they really give birth?

No way, surely not?

"Blue Sea dweller! Immediately! Right now! Cancel it!" Enel gritted his teeth.

Lord Lord Sima Di smiled and said nothing.

"If I kill you, this ability will be lifted, right?" Electric sparks flew from Enel’s eyes. "Die! Lightning Strike!"

A bolt of lightning shot from Enel’s wrist, aiming straight for Lord Lord Sima Di’s head!

But...

"Zzzzt—"

The lightning struck Lord Lord Sima Di directly on the forehead, but it caused him no damage at all; it even replenished a tiny bit of his stamina.

Laxus’s lightning immunity!

Its principle was different from Luffy’s "non-conductive" body; it absorbed the lightning and converted it for his own use, thereby immunizing him against lightning damage.

In a way, this had its flaws; if the quality of the lightning was too great and couldn't be converted in time, it would still harm his physical body.

But Enel didn't know that!

He stared at Lord Lord Sima Di in shock, not understanding what was going on with this Blue Sea dweller.

"Why! Why are you all not afraid of lightning?" Enel asked the soul-searching question.

Lord Lord Sima Di smiled and said nothing.

To be honest, he was quite disappointed after meeting Enel.

Arrogant, conceited, reckless, lacking willpower...

It was too terrifying!

Looking back at Lord Lord Sima Di, who appeared "weak" but was actually unscathed.

Everyone fell silent.

Really...

Wasn't this a one-sided crushing victory?

"Zzzzt—"

A bolt of lightning interrupted everyone’s train of thought, and the target was—

Lord Lord Sima Di and Luffy.

Enel seemed unwilling to believe it, wanting to see with his own eyes if Luffy was truly unafraid of being struck by lightning.

And then he truly saw it.

Even,

The few people nearby wearing the Mk-5 suits also absorbed the overflowing lightning energy.

Lord Lord Sima Di and Luffy, bathed in lightning, looked at Enel with "puzzled" expressions—are you an idiot? We’ve tried this so many times, do you still not know we aren't afraid of lightning?

Enel: "..."

"Ahhh!"

"Go to hell!"

"30 Million Volts: Thunder Bird!"

He struck the drums on his right shoulder with his golden trident, manifesting the generated lightning from the drums into a thunder bird over ten meters long, which screeched and dove toward the Straw Hat Pirates again.

But...

The result remained unchanged...

Or maybe not!

"My energy is charged to 250?" Chopper said in surprise.

The energy for the Mk-5 came from a small arc reactor, and this thing clearly couldn't be manufactured in this world; once used up, they could only find Lord Lord Sima Di to make a new one to replace it.

This meant they couldn't use the Mk-5 frequently, because except for the girls, everyone else was limited to one manufacture per month.

But now!

They had found a new way to charge!

"I want this Devil Fruit ability!" Facing Facing Nami spoke up first.

"Ah... that's too much, I want it too," Usopp said weakly.

The others didn't speak.

Either they didn't need a Devil Fruit, or they were already Devil Fruit users.

Lord Lord Sima Di couldn't help but laugh.

Well!

The battle had just started, and they were already eyeing the spoils?

It seemed necessary to teach them a good lesson!

Enel...

Was not weak at all!

Did you think the strongest Logia was a joke?

16. The Powerful Enel! The Importance of Finishing Moves!

Seeing Usopp and Facing Facing Nami already discussing how to distribute the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Lord Lord Sima Di felt it necessary to teach them a lesson.

And doing so was simple, which was...

"Zzzzt—"

Enel appeared before Usopp, his golden trident interwoven with lightning stabbing into the Mk-5; although it failed to pierce through due to the softness of the gold, it still sent Usopp flying.

Facing Facing Nami reacted by raising her palm to use the palm cannon, but just as it was charging, her hand was smashed aside by a trident strike, and then she was kicked away.

Both of them lay on the ground, emitting electronic gasping sounds.

One could see,

The spot where the Mk-5 was hit had already caved in significantly.

The Mk-5 was just a prototype developed for emergency deployment; for the sake of lightness, the armor plating was thin, which was sufficient against ordinary people, but it was stretched thin against the freakish physiques of the One Piece world.

"You finally showed yourself, you damn bastard!" Luffy roared as he charged.

He had thought Enel, who was countered by him, would be easy to deal with.

But Enel already knew Luffy wasn't afraid of lightning, so would he continue to use it?

Transforming into lightning to dodge Luffy’s fist, the golden trident struck straight at his heart!

Luffy subconsciously tried to dodge,

But he didn't expect Enel’s golden trident to change moves first, sweeping horizontally toward the direction Luffy was dodging, making it look to outsiders as if Luffy had run into it himself.

"Pfft—"

Although the golden trident was soft, the blade was still sharp, immediately carving a large gash in Luffy’s chest!

Blood sprayed like a fountain onto Enel’s head, but before that, Enel had already vanished from sight, appearing at the side and raising the golden trident high, ready to finish Luffy off.

"Don't even think about it!"

Sanji appeared at the side, but before his slightly clumsy roundhouse kick could land, Enel had already dodged, smashing him away with the golden trident, forcing him to collide with a slash Zoro had unleashed, which compelled the latter to use a hand-blade.

Usopp’s sniping arrived just in time, forcing Enel to abandon the pursuit and turn to swat him away with a trident strike.

"Bastard! What kind of mess are you making!" Zoro roared.

"It’s clearly you who didn't aim properly and attacked randomly!" Sanji yelled.

Just in one exchange,

The main combatants of the Straw Hat Pirates were all wounded.

Even if the strongest Rumble-Rumble Fruit attack was "rendered useless," Enel could still rely on it for high-speed movement, and combined with the information provided by Mantra, it was enough to crush everyone.

And this,

Was while he was still in a weakened state from the Strongest Appraisal Technique; if he were in his prime...

"Rumble—"

A bolt of lightning flashed, and Wyper, who was charging, was blasted to the ground.

Facing the Shandians, he was still a "god"!

Looking at Lord Lord Sima Di,

He had arrived at the edge of the Shandian camp at some point, watching with interest as Enel brutally beat the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Tsk! Let your arrogance and conceit get the better of you, now you’re suffering for it," Lord Lord Sima Di shook his head.

"Indeed, underestimating the enemy before the battle is a major taboo," a voice agreed.

Lord Lord Sima Di turned his head,

And saw Crocus also shaking his head, with Laboon even being brought along by his side.

"Hmm? Why are you here?" Lord Lord Sima Di asked curiously.

Even if you aren't participating in the battle, Laboon has mastered intermediate Armament Haki, so you aren't letting her fight either?

"Isn't your intention to let them learn a lesson?" Crocus pointed out.

Lord Lord Sima Di pondered for a moment...

Then turned to look at the 499 Shandian warriors and asked, "Those God Squad members are just lying there, aren't you going to finish them off?"

The Strongest Appraisal Technique was undeniably powerful;

Except for Enel, who could still fight, everyone else was lying on the ground, wailing.

"Shandian warriors do not strike those who have no power to resist!"

"Since they have already lost their combat capability, our only opponent is Enel!"

"Have your people step back, the rest is the Shandians' battle!"

These Shandian warriors were also "men of principle," possessing the noble character of not "kicking a man while he's down," and launched a "death charge" at Enel.

Could Enel be polite?

He raised his hand, ready to give them a round of electrotherapy!

But he abruptly elementalized, turning into lightning and disappearing.
