Chapter 138: Wrath of the Thunder God
Deserted Island - High Altitude Battlefield
Storm clouds blanketed the sky, and lightning danced wildly. It looked like the end of the world!
Enel hovered at the zenith of the heavens, his Thunder God (Amaru) form fully unleashed. His golden pupils were as cold as blades, the divine ring spinning behind him, thunder roaring and rolling around his body!
Like an ancient god descending, he looked down on everything.
"A mere 'Disaster'... dares to be arrogant in the presence of God?"
He slowly raised his golden trident. Two hundred million volts of electricity surged through his arm. The thunderclouds rumbled, and electric serpents danced!
The atmospheric pressure dropped instantly. Winds howled, and thunder screamed like a beast!
"200 Million Volts: Thunder God's Wrath!!!"
"BOOM—!!!!"
In an instant, a pillar of lightning thick enough to tear the sky apart crashed down!
The light was blinding, seemingly twisting space itself!
King, barely having time to struggle up, was hit head-on by this divine punishment!
"GYAAAHHH—!!!"
His scream pierced the clouds!
The Pteranodon armor disintegrated instantly. His flames were extinguished, his body charred and twisted, forcibly beaten back into his human form!
Like a falling meteor, he smashed into the earth, kicking up a plume of scorched smoke!
High above, Enel watched with indifference, surrounded by lightning, his golden eyes judging like a deity.
He raised his trident again, thunder gathering, preparing the finishing blow!
But just then, his Mantra violently trembled, screaming a warning like a tolling bell!
"DODGE, ENEL!!!"
Zephyr's roar came from the distance, loud as thunder!
"WHOOSH—!!!"
A black shadow tore through the air, moving so fast the naked eye could barely track it!
It was like a black dragon descending from the heavens, roaring as it lunged!
Kaido gripped his kanabo, Hassaikai, with both hands. Conqueror's Haki surged like a raging tide, black lightning twisting around the iron club. He looked like a god of destruction!
His eyes were blood-red, his aura overwhelming!
"Roaring Thunder Bagua!!!"
"BOOM!!!"
An enhanced derivative of the Thunder Bagua! The ultimate fusion of Haki, speed, and power!
That club smashed down, threatening to shatter the Thunder God in a single blow!
Enel's expression changed drastically. His golden pupils shrank, and lightning exploded!
"Elementalization!!!"
He dodged at the limit within the lightning, but he was still half a beat too slow!
"BANG—!!!!"
Iron club and lightning body collided with explosive force!
The terrifying shockwave was earth-shattering, blasting Enel away like a meteor, driving him deep into the ground!
The earth collapsed, dust billowing hundreds of meters high. The echo of thunder reverberated through the valley!
In the distance, Kuina, having recovered a sliver of stamina, widened her eyes in horror as she watched the lightning figure being forcibly knocked out of the sky.
"Even Enel... was blown away in one hit?!"
For the first time, she clearly felt why the world called Kaido the "Strongest Creature."
It wasn't a metaphor. It wasn't an exaggeration. It was a fact.
Standing there, he was a natural disaster incarnate.
High above—
Kaido hovered at the peak of the thunderclouds!
Dragon eyes red, fangs bared, dragon breath rolling. It felt as if the entire world moved with his breathing!
Conqueror's Haki swept across the island like a monstrous tide, blowing apart the thunderclouds with its sheer pressure!
He threw his head back and laughed maniacally, the sound deafening, like a thunder god beating a drum, echoing through the skies!
"None of you... are getting away!!!!"
In that moment, he was the embodiment of the world's will. Dragon might crushed down; everything on the battlefield was an ant!
In the Deep Crater
The scorched earth was cracked, dust settling. The air was filled with the smell of ozone and lingering currents.
Crack—!!!
The pile of rubble exploded! Lightning danced wildly!
A figure draped in thunder slowly rose from the crater!
It was Enel!
His white military coat was tattered, his golden earrings trembling in the smoke. Lightning crawled over his limbs like thousands of biting snakes!
He staggered, blood at the corner of his mouth, but there was no pain on his face. Instead, he wore... a look of excited amusement.
"Cough... is this the power of the so-called 'Strongest Creature'?"
He wiped the blood from his lip, chuckling softly. His golden eyes flashed with a maniacal electric light.
The next second—
He laughed low, electricity buzzing and echoing on the surface of his skin.
"Heh... hehehe..."
"YAHAHAHA—!!"
The laughter grew wilder, higher!
Lightning exploded around him. Shattered arcs of electricity poured back like a reverse tide, re-condensing within his body!
Ten thousand bolts of lightning clad his body! Golden electric serpents wrapped his limbs!
His aura spiked in an instant, the intense voltage causing the air to crackle and pop!
Above, Kaido's massive body cast a huge shadow.
But Enel looked up without a shred of fear!
In his golden eyes, the arrogance of a "God looking down on mortals" was gone.
Replaced by the burning fighting spirit of a warrior meeting a worthy foe!
"...Interesting."
"This is too interesting!!!"
He roared at the sky, lightning erupting from his body, the power of the Thunder God churning!
"In this broken sea, there are actually so many monsters?!"
He spread his arms, lightning and thunder weaving into a massive golden ring spinning behind him!
Divine pressure and Conqueror's Haki clashed in the void. In that instant, the world went silent!
"Then let God—"
Enel held his golden staff horizontally, lightning blindingly bright!
"—see if you 'monsters' are worthy opponents for ME!!!"
Before the lightning could fade, Enel launched himself into the air again!
Arms spread, Thunder God form condensing once more, the golden ring behind him shining brighter than ever. Lightning surged and swirled inside him, the cracking sound piercing the clouds!
"—KAIDO!!!"
Like a golden lightning dragon, carrying two hundred million volts of pressure, he roared upward, tearing through the sky, straight for the zenith!
High above, Kaido looked down. Squinting his dragon eyes and seeing this "Lightning Brat" daring to fight back, he couldn't help but laugh at the sky!
"Wororororo—!! You've got guts, Lightning Brat!!"
His arms swelled, and Hassaikai swung down abruptly. Black-red Conqueror's Haki poured out, turning into a giant wave that crushed down head-on!
BOOM!!!!
The Wrath of the Thunder God and the Might of the Dragon King collided in the air!
"RUMBLE—!!!"
Electric arcs and dragon breath wove into a vortex of destruction, tearing the clouds apart. Star-like bursts of light bloomed continuously from the high altitude, like the prelude to the apocalypse!
The world shook ceaselessly. The edges of the island began to collapse under the scouring of the energy storm, rock layers breaking, waves rolling in anger!
Zephyr, watching this earth-shattering battle from afar, let his expression darken completely!
"A Logia type fighting a monster like Kaido... this island won't last much longer."
He didn't hesitate. He leaped to Kuina's side and grabbed her!
"Kuina! Come with me, retreat to the warship first!"
"But—" Kuina looked hesitant, her eyes fixed on the battle high above.
"Don't look back!"
Zephyr shouted angrily, "You've done enough! This is a battlefield for monsters, not a domain you can step into right now!!"
"Zoro is still waiting for you!"
Kuina shook, gritting her teeth. Finally, she nodded silently.
BOOM!!
Zephyr stomped the ground, shattering the scorched earth. Like a cannonball, he carried Kuina through the air, crossing the broken battlefield, heading straight for the distant warship!
At Sea - Marine Warship Deck
Wind and waves roared, the warship rocking violently. The deck was stained with blood.
Medics swarmed around Zoro, performing emergency resuscitation!
"Pulse is weak—get the IVs! He's lost too much blood; any slower and he's gone!"
Zoro was covered in wounds. His three swords lay quietly beside him. His bloodstained fingers were still trembling slightly—as if clinging to the last thread of life.
Beside him, Luffy knelt on both knees, back in human form, his face pale as a sheet.
His body was long past its limit, but he gritted his teeth and held on. Though his body shook, he remained motionless guarding Zoro, staring fixedly at his pale face.
"...Can't fall... not now... can't fall..."
His voice was hoarse, teeth clenched tight. Sweat and blood dripped from his chin, but he refused to collapse.
Just then, Zephyr landed with Kuina!
Seeing the familiar figure, Kuina's heart raced. She immediately broke free from Zephyr and rushed to Zoro's side, falling to her knees!
"—Zoro!!"
Trembling, she reached out to hold his fingertips. Tears welled in her eyes, but she fought to keep them from falling.
"I'm sorry... I was too weak..."
"You have to hold on... please..."
A medic, operating emergency equipment, spoke gravely, "Keep talking to him! Let him hear you! If he can hear you—there's hope!"
Kuina nodded heavily, her voice choked but firm. "Then I'll keep shouting, I'll keep shouting—until you wake up!!!"
Zephyr stood at the stern, his gaze fixed on the churning sea in the distance.
The wind grew fiercer. The dark clouds rolled like ink.
Within the sea mist, the silhouette of a leviathan slowly emerged.
Under that whale-shaped bow, under that waving white flag with the skull and crossbones...
Was the legendary ship that had awed the New World for decades—
The Moby Dick.
Zephyr's pupils contracted slightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He whispered softly, emphasizing every word: "Whitebeard..."
In the wind, his voice was barely audible, yet heavy as thunder:
"Roy... are you not here yet..."
The waves reached the sky. The storm was brewing.
An all-out decisive battle between monster and monster was about to ignite!
