The figure revealed his form, bare-chested, wearing flared pants with alternating yellow and black stripes, a white cloth wrapped around his head. On his back were four pitch-black tomoe drums, and his body crackled with faint blue arcs of electricity. With the sounds of flip-flops slapping the ground, Buggy and the others were left dumbfounded.
"BOOM!"
A thunderous clap exploded, and Enel looked down indifferently from above, as though standing at the summit of the heavens, overlooking the few people before him.
Accompanied by thunder and lightning, the roaring noise was deafening. Enel's appearance was as dramatic as it was shocking.
Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of the four below, he slowly raised his right hand.
"How dare you disturb this god's peace? I sentence you to death!"
"Zzzap!"
Arcs of electricity crackled and flashed, stretching, twisting, and folding in the air before shooting forward toward the four.
"Ten Million Volts, Discharge!"
The sound of thunder grew louder and louder, until at that moment, it swelled to a deafening peak. That streak of blue light in their eyes suddenly enlarged, and all four of them stared wide-eyed.
"H-Help!" Buggy trembled in terror.
The blue lightning instantly expanded into arcs several meters thick, covering a huge area. Its speed was overwhelming; there was no way to dodge.
Suddenly, Ace leapt up from beside Buggy, flames erupting from his fist.
"Fire Fist!"
"BOOM!"
A blazing fire punch expanded rapidly, slamming into the incoming lightning strike. After a moment of pause, a massive explosion erupted from the collision. A gust of wind swept across the ground, kicking up dust and gravel. Buggy, still reeling from the shock, stared ahead with his pupils contracting.
"S-Saved!"
He knew full well, if that lightning had hit him directly, he would've been seriously injured, maybe even dead. Everyone knew the terrifying power of lightning, the deadly, destructive force it carried. And now, this tall, cold man had command of lightning itself, utterly unbelievable.
"Hmm? You blocked it?" Enel's gaze narrowed, locking onto Ace, who now stood before him.
He saw the man had conjured a flaming punch; he could control fire. After throwing the punch, Ace leapt straight toward him.
"Too slow." Enel casually tilted his neck to the side, easily dodging the strike.
After several more attacks, Enel suddenly stepped down and vanished in a burst of lightning. He reappeared behind Ace, his hand surging with electricity, pressing it directly onto Ace's back.
But the moment he made contact, Enel's expression changed slightly.
"Flames, huh?"
"You control lightning, but I can become fire itself!"
"BOOM!"
Ace's entire body suddenly burst into roaring flames. He turned around, now face-to-face with Enel.
"Interesting... a man like me. Then, what about the others?"
Realizing that Ace wouldn't be an easy opponent, Enel gave up on him entirely and instead turned his attention to Buggy.
"Red-nosed clown, you can go to hell first!"
With a thunderous boom, Enel vanished from Ace's view, causing the latter's face to darken.
"HELP!" Buggy screamed, trembling in absolute terror.
Enel reappeared above Buggy, electricity arcing in his hand as he brought it slicing downward.
"Noooo!" Buggy's body suddenly split apart, and the lightning arc missed entirely.
"This guy!" Enel looked irritated. He'd actually missed!
He attacked Buggy's separated parts again, but just as he struck, Buggy reassembled himself in an instant.
"You damn red-nose!!"
A trace of rage appeared on Enel's face, his expression growing slightly twisted.
Sweeping his gaze once more across the others, his eyes landed on Robin in the distance. He immediately disregarded her. A woman, no threat to him at all.
Which meant... only one target remained!
"Zzzzt!"
With a flash of lightning, Enel's body vanished once more.
"Your Majesty, watch out!" Buggy screamed, realizing that the enemy was heading straight toward Qin Yi.
At that moment, Qin Yi's eyes had already transformed into Mangekyō Sharingan, and a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
"Hah, I saw you... Coming for me, huh?"
His fist clenched tightly, as Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) rapidly wrapped around his arm, hardening it until his entire right arm turned pitch black.
"Although I can only cover one arm... It's more than enough to deal with you!" He murmured, his gaze suddenly becoming razor-sharp.
To deal with someone as arrogant and wild as Enel, he had to crush his confidence in the shortest time possible, dominating him completely. Only then would such a man yield.
Suddenly, a streak of lightning flickered in the air in front of Qin Yi, followed by a strong gust. Turbulent air currents swirled wildly. Enel reappeared almost instantly, cloaked in electricity. With a swing of his arm, a bolt of lightning shot toward Qin Yi.
"Prediction!"
Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly, clearly reading the arc of the lightning. Qin Yi's body reacted at once. His steps moved with lightning speed, turning into an afterimage.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The lightning struck the ground, scorching it black. Enel's expression darkened instantly.
"I am utterly enraged, you lowly mortals!" Enel roared in fury. He clenched his right hand, and amidst the deafening thunder, even more bolts of electricity surged wildly around him.
But at the same time, Qin Yi's speed exploded to its peak. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Enel.
"So fast!" Even for the lightning-wielding Enel, his pupils contracted in shock. But a moment later, his expression calmed again.
"Speed means nothing! You still won't hit me!"
Enel smirked coldly in his heart. The lightning in his hand crackled and burst, transforming into the shape of a bird.
"Thirty Million Volts: Thunder Bird!"
The thunderbird screeched and, under Enel's control, flew straight at Qin Yi. However, by that time, Qin Yi's fist had already arrived at Enel's face. The airflow twisted violently, spinning into vortexes. The air in the path of the punch collapsed inward. The power behind this punch was so terrifying that it disrupted even the atmosphere.
"BANG!"
The punch landed squarely on Enel's face. His pupils shrank sharply. A crack echoed from his left cheek as it collapsed inward in an instant.
"BOOM!"
The thunderbird let out a final screech before vanishing. Enel's body spun uncontrollably, flying headfirst into the distance. He crashed into the Divine Palace, smashing through more than a dozen buildings and walls before finally landing in a heap of rubble, dizzy, unconscious.
Instant KO!
Wielding the Busoshoku (Armament) Haki, Qin Yi delivered a one-punch knockout to the self-proclaimed god Enel.
Clean, swift, and decisive, not even a shred of hesitation.
When Enel finally regained a sliver of consciousness, enduring immense pain and slowly opening his eyes, he saw the man who had punched him into oblivion.
"You… you… you…"
He stammered, saying "you" three times, but couldn't get out a full sentence.
He felt like his words were leaking out; he had no idea how many teeth had been knocked out by that punch. At this moment, just seeing Qin Yi made his heart tremble with fear.
"Now, tell me, Enel… Who is the real god?"
Qin Yi bent down and looked at him, smiling faintly as he asked quietly.
