What happened?
Enel lay on the ground, struggling to comprehend.
What struck him?
His body was trembling uncontrollably, as a terrifying force was crushing his body, numbing his skin, muscles, and even bones.
To the point where he couldn't even perform his usual elemental transformation.
What is this thing?
After all, he was the invincible user of the Logia-type Devil Fruit!
Thud.
Enel heard footsteps.
With some effort, he sat up and saw Ian standing not far in front of him.
Ian was continuously releasing his Conqueror's Haki, just like when he had used it against Crocodile in Alabasta to deal with Enel.
When Conqueror's Haki is used as a direct attack, it essentially becomes similar to Armament Haki in nature.
Thus, it can also directly affect the physical body of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.
Even if it's only being released and hasn't reached the level of wrapping around, it still works.
This meant that Enel was continuously under the effects of the Haki attack, making it impossible for him to use his elemental transformation.
Ian sighed softly.
Of course, such a situation could only happen if there was a large gap in their Haki levels.
If the people in front of Ian were not Enel but Akainu, Kizaru, or Aokiji, they probably wouldn't even care about Ian's Conqueror's Haki.
But this was enough. This was his current best.
While Ian was reflecting on this.
"Divine Judgment!"
A dazzling thunderbolt erupted from Enel's hand.
Even though he couldn't transform into an element, he could still easily summon terrifying lightning.
The brilliant pillar of lightning directly engulfed Ian, with its residual force shooting toward the sky.
"Oh!"
Law exclaimed in awe, "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, impressive."
This Devil Fruit was quite famous.
Throughout the long history of the world, many ruthless characters had earned great renown after consuming the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
But...
"It's a bit hot."
Ian slowly walked out from the thunderstorm.
When the Armament Haki spread out, it became a true form of invisible armor, no longer just increasing hardness like regular hardening, but truly able to block many things.
Naturally, his defense against various elemental attacks increased drastically.
"Got anything stronger?"
Ian chuckled lightly.
"…"
Enel's pupils contracted.
Useless?
Again, useless?
Did that initial bolt of lightning also get blocked by this bastard?
How is that possible?!
How could my divine lightning be blocked?!
Instinctively, Enel attempted to distance himself by transforming into his elemental form, but it was impossible.
He could only grit his teeth and activate the Thunder Drum on his back, transforming it into lightning. "60 million volts—Thunder Dragon!!"
A fearsome lightning dragon immediately lunged toward Ian.
Honestly, Ian had little interest in these flashy, elemental attacks that required all sorts of shapes to be formed.
It was still lightning. Was it going to become any stronger just because it had a dragon shape?
Maybe it's because I look cooler?
Ian thought, then turned and slapped away the Thunder Dragon.
The deep blue lightning scattered everywhere, and it made Ian, standing in the middle of it, look more like the master of thunder itself.
"How is this possible!!"
Enel's face twisted in shock.
Snot sprayed from his nostrils, and his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
He instantly recreated a classic expression.
That's lightning!
It's the judgment of a god!
And with one slap, it was dispersed! Is this guy even human?
This is already 60% of my power!
Is this level of electricity really useless against him?
He must have used some ability to dodge my lightning!
Enel gritted his teeth, and by now, there was no need to hold back anymore!
"Watch me turn you into charcoal!"
Enel roared and lunged at Ian, his entire body bursting with brilliant electric light.
"One hundred million volts—Lightning Strike!!"
The dazzling lightning immediately engulfed Ian.
The bright thunder splashed up hundreds of meters, and the island clouds forming the coastline were directly blown apart, while the sea clouds were vaporized in large chunks, creating a massive void.
"Ahhh!"
Law instinctively raised his hands to shield himself.
It's too close!
Why didn't I move farther away?
I'm going to get caught up in this!
The destructive power of a Logia-type Devil Fruit is still too overwhelming.
But…
It's fine.
Law panicked for just a moment, then quickly lowered his hands.
After all, Ian's here.
Ian raised his right hand, and it was completely dark, with Conqueror's Haki spreading out, blocking all the surging lightning around him.
"No, impossible! How could this be!!"
Enel screamed in madness. "How could it not work!"
How could this happen?
He is the god!
"It seems it's over."
Ian smiled faintly, flicking his right hand's index finger. "Finger Gun."
Pop.
A soft sound.
No need for an overwhelming technique.
With the addition of Haki, even a simple air shot fired from a finger is enough.
When Ian uses it, the power of this air shot far exceeds that of artillery fire—it's something that Enel, who lacks Haki and cannot elementalize, could never withstand.
His chest was pierced straight through.
His lungs were also punctured.
Enel instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.
His gaze was still filled with confusion.
What kind of monster is this guy?
"Oh, this is what they call a god?"
On the Golden Dragon ship, Drake shook his head. "A frog in a well."
"If he's a god," Jack said matter-of-factly, "then wouldn't Brother Ian be the god of gods?"
"Law."
The god of gods spoke indifferently, "Capture him."
"Understood. ROOM."
A translucent spherical space expanded, and the next moment, Law was already standing on Enel's body.
Despite the severe injury, Enel hadn't lost all resistance. Instinctively, he tried to use his electricity to electrocute this little brat!
If he couldn't electrocute that bastard, surely he could electrocute this kid?
But…
"How is this possible!"
Enel was once again stunned.
His abilities were useless!
Not only that, his body had also directly fallen into an exhausted state.
"Idiot," Law couldn't help but laugh. "Did you really think you could resist Sea-Prism Stones?"
A pair of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs had been quickly fastened to Enel's hands.
Do you understand the destructive power of the combination of teleportation and Sea-Prism Stones for Devil Fruit users?
It's just a shame that the range of ROOM is currently too small, and the range for teleportation is too narrow.
"Give him some treatment."
Ian said.
Enel was only 26 years old, still with a lot of potential for development.
Let's not talk about anything else—just the Thunder-Thunder Fruit ability alone would be enough for him to secure a place in the New World.
He was just unlucky to run into someone like me. It doesn't mean he's completely useless.
Try recruiting him.
If it fails, it's no big deal.
What's important is the Thunder-Thunder Fruit, not Enel.
Although he can't do it yet, it shouldn't take too long before Law masters the ability of the Operation Fruit, the power to switch minds.
At that point, it'll be easy to transfer ownership of the body with the Thunder-Thunder Fruit ability.
