Chapter 90

"You think challenging a god is this easy?"

"Truly delusional and ignorantly foolish."

He raised his hand toward the direction where Luo En stood.

"Let me show you the power of a god."

As soon as his words fell,

bolts of Lei Ting materialized out of thin air above Luo En.

"Divine Punishment."

Those rapidly surging bolts of Lei Ting plummeted toward Luo En below at tremendous speed.

But Luo En, having foreseen the attack, activated Kami-e to dodge.

The lightning struck empty air, yet it blasted a massive crater into the earth with splashing Lei Guang, scorching all surrounding trees until they burst into flames.

"You wish to compete with a god in speed?"

Enel sensed that figure darting and flashing swiftly through the mountain forest; his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold sneer curled the corner of his mouth.

The next second, his body transformed into a streak of Lei Guang and vanished from the spot instantly.

……

"Discharge!"

A cluster of Lei Guang suddenly erupted directly in front of Luo En as he sped through the mountain forest.

Having already sensed this attack, Luo En did not hesitate; the Lei Qie in his hand became wreathed in golden lightning and invisible Armament Haki.

Whoosh…

Modified Sun Breathing—Thunder Breathing, Full Concentration!

Luo En's speed erupted suddenly; matching the swiftness of lightning itself, combined with the perception of Observation Haki, he dodged successive lightning strikes in an instant, surging forward. As he closed in on Enel, whose face showed surprise, the Lei Qie in his hand traced a perfect arc, slicing through the gaps between those bolts of lightning at high speed.

Thunder Breathing, Fourth Form: Distant Thunder!

Arrogant as he was, Enel had not intended to dodge, since physical attacks were useless against him, but as that high-speed blade drew near,

an extreme, deadly chill surged up through his Mantra into his heart.

Only then did he realize he was wrong!

He immediately activated Electric Shock, transforming his body into an element.

But he was a fraction of a second too late.

The Lei Qie, infused with Armament Haki, still tore through the Lei Ting and slashed across his body before it had fully elementalized.

"Cough!"

Enel, now bearing a huge gash across his chest that nearly sliced him diagonally from the shoulder, opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of bright red blood; since obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, this was the first time he had been injured and bled.

But such an injury meant nothing to him; as long as he used the intense heat of Lei Ting to cauterize the wound, he could stop the bleeding.

However, that would take time.

Luo En would not give him that time.

The blade that had torn through the Lei Ting slashed down at Enel once more.

"Damn it!!"

Blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Enel ground his teeth, then transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished from the spot.

"Fled, has he…?"

Sensing with Observation Haki that the figure was rapidly distancing itself from this place via lightning, Luo En did not give chase; he sheathed the Lei Qie in his hand.

He stamped the ground, leaped onto a tall tree trunk, and shot off in one direction.

To think that single slash still failed to sever his body.

Did he manage to transfer most of the damage by elementalizing in time…?

Luo En thought silently.

As expected of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; the speed of elementalization is even faster than I imagined…

Enel's Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit is quite troublesome.

This time, it was only because of his arrogant nature and his overconfidence in his Devil Fruit abilities that Luo En could catch him off guard with Armament Haki and the explosive speed of Thunder Breathing.

The next time I encounter Enel, there may not be such a favorable opportunity.

Instead, it will be a great battle.

Even Luo En cannot guarantee victory.

"Finish the business and leave."

Luo En stamped the ground and rushed at high speed toward the giant bean vine at the center of Upper Yard.

……

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Back inside the ruins palace, Enel cauterized his wound with high-temperature Lei Ting to stop the bleeding while screaming in pain.

"That detestable brat! I will kill him!!"

His furious roar echoed throughout the entire palace.

……

82, Luo En Going All Out, The Uneasy God of Skypiea (4/5, please subscribe!)

When Luo En arrived at the Shandora Ruins, he encountered the attack of that long-fanged giant serpent.

But after Luo En drew his Lei Qie and delivered a slash, carving a deep wound into its back, the giant serpent fled in terror.

Luo En did not continue the pursuit.

Soon, following that giant bean vine, he ascended to the Shandora Ruins.

He easily found the golden bell and the historical inscription beneath it.

"First one."

Luo En drew Lei Qie with a smile, slashed out several cuts in an instant, and sheathed the blade.

The two massive golden pillars supporting the giant golden bell were severed and fell.

Boom—it crashed to the ground, shaking the earth.

"System, scan into the system space."

Luo En said in his heart.

【Okay】

System scan complete; the two massive golden pillars and the historical inscription stele were all absorbed into the system space.

After completing this,

Luo En was about to leave.

At that moment, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky.

Then a colossal column of lightning descended from above.

Luo En used Shave to dodge the strike; the ground beneath was shattered and collapsed, leaving a deep pit five to six meters deep.

Luo En turned his head toward the sky above a ruin structure.

Enel, with a long scar across his chest, stood there holding a golden staff, his entire body crackling with lightning, radiating cold killing intent.

"This time… I won't be careless again."

He raised his hand toward Luo En, lightning surging in his palm.

"Discharge, thirty million volts!"

Violent lightning erupted from his palm, surging toward Luo En in a dense cluster.

Luo En used Shave, his form flickering repeatedly as he closed in on Enel.

Seeing Luo En's hand already on his blade's hilt, Enel narrowed his eyes, vanished in a flash of lightning, put distance between them, and reappeared farther away.

"Do you really think I'll let you get close again?"

He was deeply wary of the power wrapped around Luo En's blade—the power that could harm him.

"So cowardly?"

Luo En laughed: "Is this the god of this island?"

Enel narrowed his eyes, ignored him, and tapped his left shoulder's taiko drum.

"Thirty million volts? Thunder Wolf!"

A wolf-shaped thunder beast sprinted at high speed toward Luo En.
