Chapter 62 The Thunder Fruit, which is said to be invincible
Enel didn't know much about famous swords, but he could feel Zoro's attitude clearly.
It wasn't very harmful, but it was very insulting.
"Bastard. " A fierce look appeared in Enel's eyes, and then he stayed silent. He took out a golden stick and gently knocked on the magatama drum behind him.
With a bang, the magatama drum changed shape and became a thunderbird filled with thunder energy.
"Thirty million volt Thunderbird! " Enel said quietly.
The thunderbird was not as fast as the lightning he had used before. It seemed to move slowly on purpose, flipping in front of Enel, screeching, and then charging at Zoro.
"Flashy. " Zoro showed a hint of disdain in his eyes. He pushed off the ground, and in an instant, he vanished from the deck.
He wasn't trying to dodge; instead, he rushed toward the thunderbird.
"Thirty-six Troubled Winds! " Without saying anything, as the thunderbird got close, Zoro's Setsuzou sliced through the air with a whirlwind.
The strong thunderbird crashed into the troublesome wind and was instantly torn into pieces of lightning in the sky by the powerful strike.
At the same time, Zoro stepped on the air and flew over the river using Moon Steps. In a flash, he reached where Enel was.
In fact, Enel didn't have much combat experience at all. After he ate the Thunder Fruit, he became unbeatable in this sky island sea area. No one could challenge him, and his fights felt more like teasing than real battles.
So, Zoro's fighting skills truly surprised Enel. Fortunately, as the user of the Thunder Fruit, his reflexes had become very quick because of his abilities.
While he was surprised, his powers surged immediately.
Instant thunder!
With a whoosh, Enel transformed into lightning and vanished in front of Zoro in an instant.
At the moment he disappeared, Zoro had already swung his sword.
With a humming sound and no fancy moves, his sharp slash split the sturdy tree, where Enel had been standing, in half.
As Zoro stepped on the clean cut, his other foot hadn't touched down yet when a loud boom echoed in the sky, followed by several bolts of lightning striking down, covering the area where Zoro was.
Enel in the air looked deadly serious. He opened one hand, and a large amount of thunder energy burst from his palm, turning into lightning strikes that continuously attacked Zoro.
But Zoro was not in a hurry at all. He looked calm, his eyes were closed, and he stood steady. When the first lightning struck, his body moved just a bit. With a sudden crack, the lightning hit the ground beneath him but did not hit him.
The same thing happened with many of the following lightning strikes. It was as if Zoro was swaying to the left and right, just like walking in a thunderstorm. It looked odd, but the fast lightning strikes could not hit him at all! This was the result of paper arts combined with observation Haki.
"How is this possible! ? " Enel did not expect this at all, and his eyes shone with a bright, amazed light.
While dodging the lightning, Zoro held Setsuzou's blade with his other hand. He slowly let the blade slide across his palm as if he was cleaning it.
A dark aura gradually attached to the blade of Setsuzou with his movement, turning the sword into a true black sword.
The moment Setsuzou turned completely black, Zoro opened his eyes.
Some people are truly gifted. Zoro not only has top talent in swordsmanship, but he also seems to have a natural ability to use his momentum. He can reach the peak of his momentum without any training. At that moment, when he opened his eyes, Enel suddenly felt a warning of danger in his heart. It reminded Enel of years ago when he was weak and faced a fierce beast in the mountains. In that moment, he felt as if he was back in that time, when the beast was targeting him.
Perhaps that experience saved him. As soon as Zoro opened his eyes, Enel chose to retreat without thinking. He turned into lightning and disappeared instantly.
At the same time he vanished, Zoro was already in the air, slashing with his sword. The quick and powerful strike cut through the thick forest behind him smoothly, whether it was a sturdy ancient tree or a hard stone.
Taking advantage of the moment Zoro was in the air, bright lightning flashed in the sky. Then, a lightning column tens of meters thick fell from above. It was no longer a small, scattered lightning strike. Enel, having learned from past experiences, decided to use a massive lightning column to completely destroy the area where Zoro was.
This time, there was really no way to dodge it. Although Zoro had only used Setsuzou to insult Enel before, he was not someone who would easily give up his pride. As the lightning column appeared, he drew Kitetsu from his waist.
One sword style became two sword styles!
"Two Swords Style: Ascend the Tower! " Zoro shouted.
His arms looked like they were getting stronger, and then two slashes crossed and flew straight toward the lightning column.
When the slashes hit the lightning, a powerful force spread out and split the thick lightning column into four equal parts! Then, lightning fell, covering Zoro's figure.
But before the lightning faded, Zoro burst out from it like a tiger, and his posture changed again!
He shifted from the two-sword style to a three-sword style, with the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth.
"Three Swords Style: One Hundred and Eight Trouble Wind! " Zoro shouted loudly as he came out of the lightning.
The slashing attack spread like a hurricane, reaching over a hundred meters in an instant, directly hitting Enel in the air and cutting everything in its path!
Enel seemed unsure about his lightning and did not try to fight back. Instead, he vanished into the air immediately.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Zoro. The golden staff in his hand glowed with bright lightning, and a laser shot out quickly, hitting Zoro's back.
Without turning around, Zoro stepped back with his sword and blocked the laser. However, the powerful lightning seemed to be too much for his Armament Haki and it began to crack.
Zoro's armament wasn't strong enough to overpower the Thunder Fruit, the Thunder Fruit was formidable indeed.
Even though it looked like Zoro was chasing Enel the whole time, he couldn't hurt Enel at all.
The teleportation-like speed of the Thunder Fruit made Enel almost untouchable.
Although he couldn't fully resist it, Zoro's block changed the direction of the laser so it missed him.
With a moon step, Zoro quickly turned and chased after Enel again.
After a brief moment of surprise, Enel seemed to adjust to the situation. The shock faded, and his arrogant, playful smile returned.
"With this little ability, you can't touch God," Enel sneered.
Meanwhile, on the deck, Nami asked with concern, "Can Zoro win? "
"Can't win." Bane shook his head and said honestly, "Zoro has made good progress and is strong, but he is still up against the Thunder Fruit. Even if Enel doesn't have the Haki of Observation, Armament Haki, or combat skills, just mastering the Thunder Fruit well is enough to handle most people in this ocean without reaching his full potential. It is clear that Zoro is not yet in the 'very few' category. "
Issho on the side nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. People often say there are no weak fruits, only weak users. But really, that's just a way to make themselves feel better. For users, the moment they eat the fruit often decides their fate. If Enel had eaten the Smoke Fruit or the Sand Fruit, he would have already lost. But he has the so-called unbeatable Thunder Fruit. This makes him unbeatable against Zoro. "
