What Do You Mean You Recruited a Logia User?

Sky Islands, White-White Sea.

Luo lay on a boulders, peering down, the wind making his spotted hat bob.

"Master, is there really gold ahead?"

"Whether it's there or not, we'll find out by going in and taking a look."

Ron confirmed the outline of the distant island and raised his hand to open an Air Door.

"Etc!"

Enel suddenly frowned. "I've spread my Mantra so far and haven't heard a sound. How did you know the ruins were here?"

"Your Mantra is looking for people, I'm looking for places."

Ron led the two through the door and landed in front of a stone staircase covered with vines.

Luo Xian saw a glimmer of golden light peeking through the vines.

He parted the leaves and recognized it as a gold ornament embedded in the stone wall, its texture half obscured by moss.

Further in, the collapsed golden pillar and half of the city wall finally emerged from the fog.

Luo stopped abruptly.

"There really is gold?!"

He ran over and stared wide-eyed at a gold ornament embedded in the stone wall.

"Master, how much is this worth?"

"I don't know, but it'll keep that old man from the Sengoku period up all night for years."

Enel didn't look at the gold; instead, he turned back to stare at the slowly closing door, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

He had just done his best to set up the Mantra, but Ron hadn't discovered this ruin hidden in the forest before him.

Even more outrageous is that he can transform into lightning and fly; this guy can arrive simply by opening a door.

"Hey, just how far can this door actually open?"

"What, you want to learn?"

"Hmph! I don't care!"

Even if you wanted to learn, you couldn't.

Even so, Enel stared at the spot where the door had disappeared, his eyes fixed on it for a long time.

Ron walked up the ancient stone steps and stopped in front of the stone wall covered with unfamiliar writing.

"Shandora... she really is here."

Ron reached out to touch the gold ornaments on the wall, but Ron gently knocked them away with his sword sheath.

"Don't move, this place is called Shandora."

"Shandora?"

"The homeland of the Shandia, a place they've coveted for centuries, do you think it's some unwanted gold mine?"

Luo reluctantly withdrew his hand.

"So, we've come here to take a look?"

"First confirm the location. The gold isn't going anywhere."

"If you really want to take it, you have to settle the centuries-old score between the Shandia and the Skypieans first."

Luo Yiyi glanced at the gold with reluctance.

"If the Fleet Admiral knew about this place..."

"So don't tell him yet."

"Are you also worried that he might sneak in and move it?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to write the report, so I'll just have you come and move it while I'm at it"

Luo looked at the city filled with gold, still feeling somewhat unwilling.

"Master, are you leaving just like that?"

"What's the rush? We've already found the place."

Ron glanced back at the ancient buildings.

"I'll come back and visit again once things are sorted out here."

On a beach on a small island in the New World.

"Mihawk! Over here!"

Shanks, holding a bottle of liquor, waved to the coffin ship passing by on the sea.

Mihawk glanced at the overturned barrels on the beach, his face expressionless as he prepared to turn the coffin boat around.

"I was just passing by."

"I have to have a drink if I'm just passing by!"

Shanks leaped to the side of the ship and forcefully shoved the glass into his hand.

Before long, Mihawk was pulled to sit down by the campfire.

Shanks clinked his glass. "I heard you got into another fight with Ron?"

"Um."

How are you feeling?

"Very satisfied."

Shanks was taken aback. "For you to say that, it seems that guy is really strong."

"His swordsmanship is not bad, but those doors are more troublesome."

Mihawk took a sip of his drink, his tone indifferent.

"Haha! I knew you two would fight!"

Shanks leaned forward. "By the way, who won?"

Mihawk remained silent.

Shanks waited for a while before finally speaking, "Hey, I'm asking you a question."

"That battle made me realize something."

"..."

Benn Beckman's hand holding the cigarette froze in mid-air, Yasopp slowly put down his wine glass.

Shanks finally slammed his fist on the table.

"No! I'm asking you who won! Who asked if you've grasped the truth?!"

Mihawk picked up his glass and took a sip.

"We'll talk about it next time."

"Haha! You rascal!"

Shanks laughed so hard he slapped his knee, spilling half a glass of wine.

One month later, the Grand Line.

An unassuming little sailboat drifted slowly on the sea.

"Hahaha! Is this all the pirates from the Blue Sea are capable of?"

Enel stood at the bow of the ship, pale blue arcs of electricity still crackling from his fingertips.

On the sea, the wreckage of a pirate ship is slowly sinking.

Enel has really seen things in the past month.

Enel mistook Sea Kings's dorsal fin for an island, and when he struck it with lightning, the island flipped over and nearly capsized the ship.

From then on, whenever he saw something emerging from the sea, he would fly around it twice.

"Isn't it said that Blue Sea has many strong individuals?"

Enel stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the sea. "Why are all the guys I've encountered so weak?"

Luo was wiping his sword, not even looking up. "This is the first half of the Grand Line; most of the truly capable ones are in the New World."

"Weak is weak! Changing the sea won't change anything!"

Ron leaned against the ship's railing and pointed to the smoking merchant ship behind him.

"Turn off the electricity first; there are still people over there."

"I didn't chop them up!"

"That one was off course by half a meter; they almost caught fire, even the sail."

Enel stubbornly insisted, "I can control it!"

"Come on, split that piece of driftwood in half, but don't touch the rope next to it."

Enel casually flicked his fingertip.

Snap!

The driftwood shattered into pieces, and the rope burned in two.

Luo looked up. "You've controlled it very well."

"Shut up!"

"Again."

Ron crossed his arms.

Enel gritted his teeth and raised his hand again.

Marineford, Fleet Admiral's Office.

"Where's Ron?!"

Sengoku slammed a stack of documents on the table, making the ink bottle jump.

Vergo stood ramrod straight.

"Reporting to the Fleet Admiral, we're still in the Grand Line. Vice Admiral Ron says he has something important to report."

"Important matters? It's been over a month! Does this Shichibukai Special Operations Commander even remember he has a job?!"

Sengoku opened one document: Mihawk's sparring report; then he opened another: a letter of communication from Amazon Lily.

He had just pulled out the third one when Vergo pushed another stack toward him.

"These also require Ron's personal approval?"

"Vice Admiral Ron said it can be confirmed Den Den Mushi."

"Call him for me! He must be back today—"

Blu-ray! Blu-ray!

The Den Den Mushi on the table rang by itself.

"Hey, old man!"

"Ron!!"

"Oh, you missed me too?"

"Stop being so nonsensical! You've only been in office for a short time, and you've already been gone for a month? You've made Vergo run all the errands for headquarters, including the joint operation plan with the Shichibukai!"

"Isn't this a recruitment drive for the Navy?"

Hiring?

Sengoku was taken aback and narrowed his eyes warily.

"Who is it this time? Let me tell you, don't bring back a troublemaker for this old man!"

"We went to Sky Island and recruited a Logia. They're quite talented, but their mouth is a bit too sharp."

Sengoku suddenly sat up straight.

"Logia? What kind of fruit?"

"Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

Snap!

Sengoku suddenly stood up, his knee slamming into the table, making it shake violently.

"What did you say? The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!"

"Right."

"Are you sure this isn't just a rumor you heard?!"

"The person is right next to me. I tried it myself, and it was incredibly electrifying."

Sengoku straightened the ink bottle and lowered his voice, "Are you sure he'd wear a cloak?"

"Follow me and experience it first."

"Experience? Ron, don't bring back someone who can shred headquarters."

"Take him back to headquarters immediately! I want to see him myself!"

"Okay, let me finish cleaning up here."

Before he could finish speaking...

Boom!

Suddenly, cannon fire erupted from the sea ahead.

Another ship flying the skull and crossbones flag was chasing the merchant ship; a cannonball grazed its stern and exploded, sending up a column of water.

Luo put down the knife he had been wiping halfway through.

"Master, another group is coming."

Ron raised his hand and opened an Air Door, and the incoming shells disappeared one after another.

Taking advantage of this opening, the merchant ship quickly sailed out of the pirate ship's firing range.

Ron then nodded.

Enel.

"Yehaha!"

Enel transformed into a bolt of lightning and instantly landed on the pirate ship.

The dozens of pirates on the ship were startled.

Who are you?!

"Where did you come from?!"

Enel raised his hand high, his laughter shaking the deck.

"I've got it!"

"I'm a god!!"

Boom!!

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, blasting through the deck of the pirate ship and snapping the mast in two.

The pirates didn't even have time to fire their guns before they fell one after another on the charred deck.

Sengoku heard everything clearly on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Ron..."

"How?"

"Who just shouted that they were a god?!"

"Oh, the new guy."

"... god?!"

"Young people, it's normal for them to have their own ideas."

Looking at Enel, who was standing on the wrecked bow of the ship and laughing wildly, Law couldn't help but speak.

"Master, I feel like this guy isn't quite right in the head?"

"That's true, a bit."

Ron smiled.

"But it's quite useful for catching pirates."

The Den Den Mushi suddenly opened its mouth wide.

"Ron!!"

"Bring this guy back to me right now!!"

Enel, the Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit -Rumble Fruit.
