200 Million Volts: Thunder God!
Thump thump--!
The Four Tomoe Drums exploded simultaneously.
Above the dense forest, blue-white lightning suddenly intensified, and all the surrounding electricity converged on Enel!
"Two hundred million volts--"
Enel opened his arms and burst into laughter.
"Thunder God!!"
Boom--!
Blue and white lightning intertwined continuously, gradually coalescing into a lightning giant tens of meters tall!
Enel's figure was vaguely visible at the core of the Titans, his eyes flashing with dazzling lightning!
"Yehaha!"
On the training ship, Binz gripped the railing tightly.
"Look! On the island! That's... that's Rear Admiral Enel?!"
Ain looked up at the enormous Thunder God on the island, nearly dropping the roster in her hand onto the deck.
"This is Rear Admiral Enel's true strength..."
In the dense forest, Weevil stared blankly, his snot hanging from his mouth, forgetting to even wipe it away.
"Mom! How come he's older than me?!"
Bakkin's smile froze.
"What a joke! This kid actually has this kind of ability?!"
Zephyr suddenly burst into laughter.
"You little rascal! You've been hiding your true colors well!"
"Teacher! I didn't just take two years of beatings!"
"Weevil! Don't just stand there like an idiot!"
Suddenly, Bakkin screamed.
"Your blade exudes Haki! Go and chop him down!"
"Oh! Okay, Mom!"
Weevil retrieved the Naginata from the rubble and stomped his legs off the ground.
Boom!
Its massive body soared into the sky, its Black Blade radiating Haki, heading straight for Thunder God's face!
"Hahaha! You still dare to charge at me?"
Thunder God raised his right fist and smashed it down to meet the Naginata!
Boom!!
The moment the Naginata clashed with the thunder fist, Weevil's arms bulged with veins, and he actually withstood Thunder God's fist!
Immediately afterwards, he slammed the blade down!
Sizzle!
Thunder God's right arm was cleaved in two by Black Blade, and a large amount of lightning instantly dissipated!
"Mom! I chopped it open!"
"Good cut! Keep it up!"
Weevil raised his knife to deliver the final blow, but Thunder God suddenly laughed.
Is that all you've got?
The scattered lightning bolts quickly converged and instantly reformed into a complete arm.
"So what if you're Haki?"
"It's my turn!"
Boom!
Thunder God's right fist came crashing down!
Weevil parried with his sword, but was blasted back to the ground, his legs sinking deep into the mud!
Before he could even pull his leg away, Thunder God's left fist was already upon him!
"Ora ora ora--!"
Thunderous fists rained down, Weevil raised his sword to parry, managing to shatter a large swath of lightning!
"Ouch! That hurts!"
"Mom! He bullied me!!"
Bakkin hid behind the rock, staring intently at Thunder God.
Seeing that Weevil was beaten so badly he couldn't stand up, she stamped her feet in frustration.
Stand up! You are the son of Whitebeard!
"How could I be defeated by a mere brat!"
Weevil was punched several times in succession and forced to his knees, his right foot sinking deep into the mud, unable to be pulled out.
Enel laughed when he heard Bakkin still using Whitebeard to provoke Weevil.
"Whitebeard's son?"
"Even if Newgate himself were standing right here, I'd still dare to chop him up!"
Seeing that Weevil's right foot was stuck in the mud, Zephyr immediately approached from the side!
Kneel down before me!
His right fist, coated in Armament Haki, slammed heavily into Weevil's knee!
Weevil's right leg buckled, and his massive body lurched to the side.
Enel!
"Knew!"
Thunder God strikes with both palms!
Boom!!
Two thick bolts of lightning struck Weevil's arms simultaneously!
"Wow!"
An electric current surged through his arms, Weevil's fingers loosened, causing the Naginata to slip from his grasp and fall to the ground!
"Now!"
Zephyr stepped forward, his right fist coated in black Armament Haki, and slammed it down towards Weevil's jaw!
"Fall down before me!!"
Boom!!
That punch landed squarely on his jaw!
Weevil's head snapped back, and his massive body flew backward!
Zephyr landed a punch and then retreated.
Thunder God has raised his right palm high!
Thump thump--!
The Four Tomoe Drums roared once more.
The thunderclouds in the sky churned wildly, and countless bolts of lightning gathered in the palm of the hand, condensing into a blinding white light!
"Big guy!"
Enel grinned.
"Let's see how you withstand this move!"
Thunderstorm--!
A burst of white light erupted from Thunder God's palm!
Rumble--!
A beam of blazing white lightning shot out from his palm, striking straight at Weevil!
As soon as Weevil propped himself up from the ground, all he could see was a blinding white light.
"Mother--"
Boom!!
The lightning bolt struck him squarely in the chest!
Centered on Weevil, the ground collapsed with a deafening roar!
Trees fell in clumps, and the impact even reached the training ship in the distance, its sails fluttering in the blast.
When the lightning subsided, only a charred crater tens of meters in diameter remained in the center of the woodland.
Weevil lay at the bottom of the pit, his body emitting wisps of smoke, completely unconscious.
The lightning giant's body gradually disintegrated, and the lightning in the sky receded again.
Enel landed back on the ground, gripping the Golden Trident, and pressed his hand against the wound on his shoulder, wincing in pain.
"Wow... this big oaf is surprisingly strong."
He looked down at the bottom of the pit.
"However, in the end, I, the great one, still won!"
"Weevil?!"
Seeing her son fall, Bakkin turned and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
"I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"
"Trying to run?"
Enel casually tossed his Trident!
Call out!
The Golden Trident flew past her feet and embedded itself directly in the tree trunk in front of her!
Startled, Bakkin pulled her foot back and stumbled, falling to the ground.
A flash of lightning, Enel was already standing in front of her.
"Old woman, trying to run away?"
Bakkin reached for her sleeve, a jolt of electricity shot through her body.
"Ah!"
She froze, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.
"Finally, some peace and quiet!"
Enel pulled the Trident back from the tree trunk, then fired a bolt of lightning high into the air towards the training ship as a summons signal.
Before long, Ain arrived with a squad of Marines.
She paused for a moment, stunned, as soon as she saw the deep pit in the woods.
"Rear Admiral!"
Seeing the bloodstains on Enel's shoulder, she quickly ran over.
Your shoulder is injured!
"It's just a minor scratch."
Ain looked down at Weevil at the bottom of the pit.
"Is this the attacker?"
Enel pointed to the deep pit.
"Stop standing there, tie these two up first!"
Zephyr added, "Especially that big guy, once he wakes up, he could tear the whole ship apart!"
"Yes!"
"Enel, you stay and guard."
"Huh? It's me again?"
Zephyr glanced at him.
"What, you want me to keep watch with you?"
"Okay, okay!"
Zephyr turned to Ain.
"Notify headquarters to contact nearby Branches and dispatch a special escort warship."
"Clear!"
"Also, take a headcount!"
Ain took out the roster and checked it against Binz one by one.
Enel was about to speak up and take credit when Zephyr glared at him.
"Watch closely, don't let anything go wrong."
"I'm not blind!"
Not long after, Ain ran back with the roster in her hands.
"Reporting, teacher! Everyone is present. A few have minor injuries, but no one has been killed!"
Zephyr carefully checked the list before he felt relieved.
"Good."
Several hours later, the escort warship sent by the nearby Branch finally arrived.
It took more than a dozen Marines working together to pull Weevil out of the pit.
Several heavy iron chains were used to bind his wrists and ankles.
During the transfer, Weevil's finger suddenly twitched.
The Marines immediately stopped in their tracks.
"What's the panic? He's not awake yet!"
Enel glanced at it.
"Add a few more chains, so he doesn't wake up and scream for help!"
After confirming that both men had been taken into custody by the escorting troops, Enel returned to the training ship.
When the training ship returned with the escort fleet, it was already close to dawn.
Zephyr sat alone on the deck, an inhaler beside him.
Enel walked over and sat down next to him.
"Teacher, have you calmed down yet?"
"You played well today, kid."
"Yay! Of course!"
Zephyr looked at the distant sea.
"Thank goodness you arrived just in time today."
Don't give me that!
Enel his face away.
"If you hadn't beaten that big oaf's legs to a pulp first, I would have wasted a lot more electricity!"
"Oh, you're praising this old man now?"
"Who praised you!"
Enel scratched his head.
"I'm a navy officer, I can't just stand by and watch my teacher get hacked to pieces, can I?"
Zephyr burst into laughter.
Enel glanced at the inhaler, his voice lowering slightly.
"Teacher, is there really no cure for your illness?"
Zephyr gazed at the sea and remained silent for a while.
Who knows?
"Perhaps... this old man really should take a rest."
At the same time, Impel Down sea area of the city.
A Marine hurriedly entered the cabin.
"Report! The training ship where Zephyr is located has been attacked!"
Ron suddenly stood up.
"What?!"
"The attackers have been subdued! Rear Admiral Enel arrived just in time and, together with Professor Zephyr, defeated the enemy!"
"The training ship is safe and sound. Only a few people sustained minor injuries, and no one was killed!"
Ron sat down again, finally releasing his grip on the edge of the table.
"That's good."
Luo put the nautical chart aside.
"Master, when you insisted on arranging for Enel to go to sea with the training ship, were you already worried that something might happen?"
Ron shook his head.
"It's not that miraculous, but I'm just worried, so I'm sending him over to keep an eye on things."
Luo smiled.
"Luckily, you sent Enel along beforehand."
Vergo handed over the encrypted telegram he had just received.
"There's also a diagnosis from a Ship's Doctor."
Ron took the diagnosis, his gaze lingering on the last line.
[Zephyr, 65 years old. Suffered an acute asthma attack during combat; recommended to reduce high-intensity combat activities.]
"This old man..."
He grabbed the Den Den Mushi and dialed directly.
"Hey, Vegapunk?"
"Have you made any progress on the research I asked you to do about using the Op-Op Fruit's abilities to treat asthma?"
