"Hey! Cook, how did you steal my prey!" Zoro growled, dissatisfied.
"What 'prey' are you talking about, you moss-head?"
Sanji lit his cigarette: "Since Luffy didn't make a move right away, everyone gets a shot at this Enel. I can hunt too. It's not just me; anyone with Armament Haki is eligible."
Zoro just glared fiercely but didn't argue.
Carl had said to leave things to everyone, and he never specified which enemy was assigned to whom, so it was a free-for-all.
"Black Leg-ya is right. Let me take a look. ROOM!"
Law's voice echoed, and a transparent spherical space expanded, encompassing the entire Ark Maxim. Of course, only Law knew the specifics within this space, though those with strong Kenbunshoku Haki could sense a thing or two.
In short, within this sphere, Law was in control!
He swung Kikoku, cleanly bisecting Enel.
Enel was shocked, and the two halves of his body instantly turned into lightning and reformed. When he reappeared, he had already escaped the ROOM. But this also meant Enel had left the Ark Maxim.
Law swung his hand again, slicing the spaceship in half.
The ship's power immediately failed, and the device generating the thunderclouds also lost its function.
The Ark Maxim began to plummet.
Enel suddenly flew into a rage, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You even destroyed my ship!"
Law smiled faintly and said, "Since you think I deserve to die, come and try to kill me."
Enel choked. He had just been cut in half by this guy. Although he hadn't died, he'd been scared witless. The speed he prided himself on was useless within this guy's spatial ability.
Damn it! Paramecia Devil Fruits were just that annoying!
On the remains of the spaceship, Gan Fall and Wyper both regained consciousness.
Seeing the ship split in two and still falling, they were momentarily stunned.
Law used his Devil Fruit power to teleport them all to the island cloud where Luffy was. Staying there would only hinder the battle.
"This... what's going on?" Gan Fall, still groggy, couldn't comprehend the situation.
"Strange uncle, you can rest assured and recover from your injuries. We'll handle Enel," Luffy said confidently with his arms crossed.
Gan Fall was taken aback and exchanged a bewildered glance with Wyper but remained silent.
Chopper was tending to their injuries, but their eyes remained fixed on mid-air.
Enel was being pummeled by three people from the Blue Sea and was only dodging, a stark contrast to the arrogant Enel from before. What the hell had happened while they were unconscious?
"Usopp!"
With nowhere to stand, Zoro could only call for Usopp.
Usopp had no choice but to continue ferrying Zoro.
Sanji could use Sky Walk himself, Law could switch positions mid-air with his ability, only Zoro couldn't fly on his own.
"Honestly, you'd think learning Sky Walk would kill you. Even Tashigi can fly now, and you still have the nerve to say she's not good enough!" Usopp grumbled under his breath.
Zoro blushed, unable to retort.
You couldn't blame him; he was a swordsman! What use was Sky Walk to him?
But now Zoro realized the disadvantage of not being able to fly. Once the enemy was airborne, it became difficult to fight. Just like when Luffy fought the Golden Lion before, even knowing Sky Walk wasn't enough; he had to rely on Carl's assistance.
"Do I really need to develop the ability to fly?"
The thought crossed Zoro's mind, and he quickly dismissed it.
The enemy was still there; he'd think about these issues later!
The three continued to besiege Enel, but Enel was too fast. As long as he focused on evading, they basically couldn't hit him. And after getting used to their fighting rhythm, Enel became much more relaxed and could occasionally counterattack.
Zoro, Sanji, and Law couldn't help but grow irritated.
At this moment, Luffy suddenly shouted, "Zoro, Sanji, Law, Usopp, stand back! Your time's up!"
What? There was a time limit?
When did this happen?!
"Sorry, I set a time for you without asking, because Teacher Carl said I need to train you all. But I can't hold back any longer; I have to beat this guy with my own hands! Now, retreat!"
Hearing this, Zoro and the others exchanged glances and then descended from the sky.
Enel's face grew even uglier.
He realized he had been completely underestimated by this group. How else could they take turns beating him? It was utterly humiliating!
However, he found he truly couldn't contend with them!
Luffy simply activated Gear Second and instantly shot into the air, his speed too fast for anyone to react...
"Gum-Gum Jet Machine Gun!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Countless pink rubber fists slammed into Enel relentlessly.
Enel's expression twisted. Although he predicted the incoming fists with his Kenbunshoku Haki, their speed was too great, and it was too late to dodge.
Then, a barrage of fists struck Enel almost simultaneously.
Enel was stunned as the relentless assault distorted his body beyond recognition.
Finally, Luffy propelled himself to a higher altitude and delivered a powerful downward punch, sending Enel crashing into the giant beanstalk, his life hanging in the balance.
Enel probably didn't understand until he fainted that even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't evade Luffy's attack because his Kenbunshoku Haki was no match for Luffy's. Luffy had reached the point where he could predict a fraction of the future, directly overwhelming Enel.
Beneath the beanstalk, Gan Fall looked at the barely breathing Enel with complicated emotions.
Finally, Gan Fall stood up with difficulty and approached Enel, knight's spear in hand, a murderous glint in his eyes.
"Uncle, Enel has been defeated!" the kind Tashigi said hastily.
Everyone immediately looked at Gan Fall.
Gan Fall responded resolutely, "Enel is not truly defeated. Once his injuries heal, he's very likely to return. This old man cannot show mercy to this devil and will not spout any moral platitudes.
For the sake of Skypiea, I want him dead!"
Wyper, struggling to his feet, added, "I'll do it!"
"Young man, no matter how sinful Enel is, he was once the 'god' of Skypiea. The sins of a god should be borne by the old one!"
As Gan Fall spoke, his spear pierced Enel's heart.
Looking at Enel's lifeless body, everyone fell silent.
At this moment, Luffy descended and extended a hand to Wyper with a hearty smile, "Wyper, I saw Teacher Carl and a huge golden bell above the clouds! Let's go together!"
Wyper was taken aback and immediately grasped Luffy's hand tightly.
Luffy used Sky Walk and carried Wyper to a high altitude. Wyper saw the bright light of their Mount Dora, and tears streamed down his face.
"Luffy, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Carl smiled and stepped aside.
