63: Chapter 63 Heading to the Second Level of the Ruins, World War II EnelUpon hearing the commotion, Luffy's companions, who were scattered throughout the ruins, rushed over.Seeing the devastated battlefield and Luffy looking like an African man, Uta and Nami anxiously ran to check on him.Only after confirming that Luffy was unharmed did they breathe a sigh of relief.While Luffy was cleaning himself up, Robin, having recovered, recounted Enel's sudden attack."By the way, everyone," Chopper said, raising his little hoof, "I just found a huge vine at the other end of these ruins.I suspect this vine leads to the second level of these ruins." Everyone looked in the direction Chopper was pointing.
"It seems we're one step closer to the treasure," Luffy said excitedly.
"However, we should still be careful," Robin warned."After all, Enel should be on the second floor.Although you have defeated him this time, Captain, he must have many powerful weapons waiting for him.Enel may also have other deadly moves!"
Luffy smiled confidently, not caring about any divine weapons or killing moves.If he were afraid of even that, wouldn't he be disgracing all the transmigrators?But to prevent Enel from playing dirty tricks, Luffy decided to have Conis and the former god take Zoro, Kuina, and Sanji back to Skypiea temporarily.After all, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.Although Luffy is a pirate, he doesn't want to see a bloodbath.Secondly, he doesn't want to let go of that Big Mom who tricked him.What if she gets caught in the crossfire and dies?
As for the second level of the ruins, Luffy, Uta, and Nami went there, of course.After hesitating for a while, Vivi stepped forward and said that she wanted to go too, as she also wanted to help Luffy share the burden.Luffy shrugged and said it didn't matter, having one more person to help was not a bad thing.After arranging everything, Luffy took the three girls and flew up with the power of the wind, heading towards the giant vine that Chopper had mentioned (Sanji is envious as usual).
Everyone sprang into action.The former god and Connie led the three back to the sky island.Upon arrival, Connie immediately instructed McKinley to gather everyone on the island.After explaining everything, no one wanted to believe that their god would want to destroy the country.It wasn't until the warriors who had attacked the Going Merry produced the video evidence that everyone panicked."No, this isn't real!I don't believe my god wants to destroy this country!"
Some elderly people slumped to the ground, clutching their heads and muttering to themselves, until Gan Fall, a former god, stepped forward to comfort them: "Don't panic, everyone.See the two people next to me?They defeated the two high priests, and their captain has already defeated Enel once.I believe he can definitely stop Enel's insane plan!"
All eyes turned to the two who were watching the spectacle.Zoro and Sanji could only smile awkwardly.Their goal from the beginning had been the treasure buried on Skypiea; protecting it was just a side task.But seeing the cheering crowd around them, Zoro and Sanji silently kept quiet.It was best not to reveal the truth now; after all, their captain was a kind-hearted man.Meanwhile, Luffy, leading the four girls, reached the second level of the ruins through the giant vines.Just as Robin had predicted, they were ambushed by Enel's elite troops as soon as they landed.A dense swarm of soldiers, wielding various weapons, roared and charged at the four.But these fodder were no match for Luffy and his companions."Black Hole," "Thunderbolt," "Rain of Notes," and "Gum-Gum Ice Emperor Machine Gun"—all these attacks were easily countered.
In an instant, the battlefield was filled with the screams of soldiers, the relentless engulfment of the black hole, the raging thunder, and a rain of sharp musical notes falling from the sky, carrying endless chills.The battlefield was quickly cleared.Luffy left the three girls to search for the treasure while he entered the palace to find Enel.Luffy planned to defeat Enel, imprison him in the training space, and then use his influence to make him a powerful ally, thus adding another force to his side in the future Marineford War.As for going to the infinite land he dreamed of, that was just a dream.Thinking this, Luffy ventured deep into the palace.After running around, he finally found Enel in a room at the back of the palace.Enel was sitting on a huge golden warship, seemingly as if Luffy had returned.He was covered in bandages, but even so, Enel's eyes shone with confidence.Luffy leaped to Enel's side."You've come?"
Enel leaned against a golden pillar beside him, his tone not that of someone addressing an enemy, but rather like someone speaking to a long-lost friend.Luffy nodded, casually strolling around the golden warship, secretly calculating how many Berries such a massive vessel could fetch.Enel, oblivious to Luffy's attitude, continued, "Do you know why I destroyed Skypiea?I believe the sky should only contain clouds and birds, and Skypiea shouldn't exist.So I'm going to destroy this place and give the sky back to the birds and clouds."
Luffy tilted his head, indicating that this had nothing to do with him; he only wanted to defeat him.Enel, upon hearing this, burst into laughter: "Yehahaha, defeat me?You?You think I didn't figure out your weakness after the last battle?Even if you're made of rubber and immune to lightning, you're still afraid of hot and sharp objects, aren't you?You think I'm just wasting my time chatting with you?I'm just stalling for time.Now my attack is ready, Lightning Bolt!"
The next moment, the golden wall beside Enel changed shape, and countless red-hot golden spikes rained down on Luffy.Luffy activated his Observation Haki, weaving through the dense golden spikes.Seeing Luffy approaching, Enel panicked, gripping his golden staff tightly.A massive amount of lightning covered the staff, and the golden staff.The area beneath was quickly engulfed in flames, turning a deep red before transforming into a sharp trident.Enel roared, wielding the trident and attacking Luffy, his body crackling with lightning, appearing as majestic as a thunder god descending to earth.But these attacks were child's play to Luffy."Enter Gear Second, Gum-Gum Sonic Ice Emperor Spear!"
Countless fists, radiating chilling energy, hurtled towards Enel.Enel gritted his teeth, gripped his trident, and unleashed his full power to dodge Luffy's attacks with his Mind Control Technique.But Luffy, unscrupulous in his fighting spirit, activated his attack at twenty times the normal speed, making it impossible for Enel's Mind Control Technique to predict.He dodged one punch, only to be struck by the next.Soon, the already injured Enel was unable to evade the barrage of punches, flying off the golden battleship and crashing to the ground, creating a large crater.Enel stared blankly at the sky, bewildered.He couldn't understand why Luffy had defeated him again, even though he had clearly found Luffy's weakness.Growing increasingly enraged, Enel unleashed the full power of his Devil Fruit.He slowly floated into the air, endless lightning enveloping his body.Enel's form grew larger and larger until he became a giant composed of lightning: "Two Trillion Volts.Thunder God!"
