The Might of the Thunder God! Crushing a Shichibukai!

New World, Grant Port.

Enel stood on the dilapidated roof of the auction house, his Golden Staff pointing towards the Hanafuda.

The thunderclouds overhead pressed lower and lower, and bolts of electricity danced along the shaft of the stick.

"You bastard!"

Hanafuda gripped the sickle tightly, veins bulging on his neck.

"I'm Shichibukai! How dare you, a Rear Admiral, touch me?!"

Enel picked at his ear, looking impatient.

"It's always the same two lines over and over again? I'm sick of hearing them."

He glanced around the Port.

The pirates were still loading boxes onto the ship, and some had already picked up their Fire Pistol and were secretly aiming them at the sky.

"Then let's clear the area first."

The Golden Staff was slowly raised.

Boom!

The thick thunderclouds suddenly sank downwards, and dozens of blue-white lightning bolts lit up simultaneously.

"Mamaragan!"

Boom!

Lightning bolts rained down one after another.

The pirates, who were preparing to raise the sails, had just run onto the deck when lightning exploded at their feet, and they fell down along with the sail ropes.

Someone turned to escape at the warehouse entrance, only to be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.

Before the gunman hiding on the roof could pull the trigger, he froze on the spot and fell down.

Hanafuda roared, his hook-scythe coated in Armament Haki, and took a direct hit from a bolt of lightning!

Clang!

Lightning exploded along the blade, sending numbness through his entire arm.

"Fight back, all of you!"

No one answered.

The final bolt of lightning struck beside Hanafuda.

"Hello? Hanafuda?"

Kaido's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

Why is it thundering over there?

Boom!

The lightning struck the Den Den Mushi, abruptly ending the call.

Hanafuda looked down and saw that the Den Den Mushi was charred black.

The lightning over the Port gradually dissipated.

The pirate ships docked at the pier had been badly damaged, but the main ship of Hanafuda still had most of its hull intact.

Enel looked down at what was below.

"The nuisance is gone."

"Now, it's your turn."

Hanafuda's eyes reddened as she looked at her fallen men.

"You're asking for it!!"

Click!

His body suddenly swelled up, his heavy overcoat bursting open, and dark brown scales crawled from his neck all the way to his chest.

Its head stretched out, fangs protruded from its lips, and a thick tail lashed out, smashing the rocks at its feet.

Zoan, Dragon- Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Human-Beast Form!

"I'm not one of those losers!"

Hanafuda's feet shattered the ground, and his hook-scythe and meteor hammer were simultaneously coated with jet-black Armament Haki.

"King Fang Slash!"

Hanafuda swung his hook-and-sickle, the black blade aimed straight for Enel's neck.

Enel lifted his eyelids slightly.

The lightning bolt flashed away from his spot just before the hook and sickle struck him.

Swish!

The hook blade sliced through the empty space.

"What?!"

"Hey, where are you going to chop?"

The voice came lazily from behind the Hanafuda.

Thump!

"Thirty Million Volts - Thunderbird!"

A gigantic Thunderbird materialized and slammed down hard against the back of the Hanafuda!

Boom!

The Hanafuda were blown more than ten meters away, crashing into half of a stone wall and filling the sky with dust.

He had just crawled out from behind the rubble when the second drumbeat reached his ears.

"Sixty Million Volts Thunder Dragon!"

Lightning coalesced into a long dragon, swooping down from the sky.

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Hanafuda swung his Haki hook-scythe, forcefully cleaving a large section of the dragon's body in two.

But the entire thunder dragon followed and pressed down, completely engulfing him and his sword.

Boom!

Hanafuda fell into the ruins once more, billowing black smoke, several of its scales charred.

"Damn it... Come down here if you dare!"

Stop buzzing around like a fly!

Want to get closer?

Enel smiled.

"Okay."

In a flash, he stood directly in front of the Hanafuda.

This is the phrase used in Hanafuda (Hanafuda).

The iron chain lashed out and entangled the Golden Staff.

Hanafuda grinned.

"Got you!"

The hook-and-sickle slashed diagonally from the other side, its blade coated with Armament Haki.

Enel raised his stick to block.

Clang!!

The two weapons collided, sparks flying.

The Hanafuda suddenly increased its pressure, causing the stone slab beneath Enel to crack with a snap.

Haha! So that's all the strength you've got!

"Yeah?"

The jet-black Armament Haki spread rapidly along the Golden Staff.

Enel flicked his wrist, forcefully deflecting the hook sickle back.

Hanafuda's smile froze.

"How is that possible?!"

"You don't think all I can do is flirt, do you?"

Enel suddenly reached out and grabbed the iron chain wrapped around the stick, pulling it sharply in front of him.

Caught off guard, Hanafuda was pulled forward and staggered.

Enel and kicked!

Bang!

The soles of his feet, covered in Armament Haki, were positioned directly in his abdomen.

Hanafuda flew backward, its body arched, smashing through a row of stone boxes, its body half-buried in rubble.

Enel twirled the Golden Staff.

"That old man Zephyr has been forcing me to practice physical techniques every day for the past two years. I'm sick of hearing it."

"Today's great, finally someone's willing to come up and try their skills."

Hanafuda clutched her stomach, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

He stared intently at Enel, his mind a complete mess.

Lightning speed... Armament Haki... Physical skills... This guy doesn't look like a newly promoted Rear Admiral at all!

"I... haven't lost yet!"

Boom!

Hanafuda's body swelled up again, its limbs touched the ground, its giant jaws opened even wider, and a row of sharp bone spines emerged from its back.

In the blink of an eye, a Tyrannosaurus Rex over ten meters long lay across the center of the Port.

"Roar--!"

He lunged forward, the ground trembling violently with each step.

"Tyrant Charge!"

Stone pillars along the way were broken one by one, and rubble flew everywhere.

Enel's figure flickered, transforming into a bolt of lightning and landing on the other side.

Its massive, thick tail swept across, kicking up a large amount of gravel!

Another flash of lightning, Enel was already standing on the high ground.

"You've gotten bigger, but you can't even catch a glimpse of me."

"Shut up!!"

Hanafuda stomped her legs hard on the ground.

"Primordial Tremor Stomp!"

The stone slabs were overturned in pieces, and fragments flew in all directions.

He wanted to use the vibration to force Enel to slow down, and then find an opportunity to bite down.

In the Observation Haki, only a fleeting glimpse of lightning could be detected.

"Raise your head, you bastard."

The sound came from above.

Hanafuda suddenly tilted its head back.

The Golden Staff slowly softened in the strong electric current, its head elongating and splitting into three sharp blades.

"Raiu Gōkin!"

The Golden Trident instantly took shape, its tip immediately coated with jet-black Armament Haki.

Sizzle!

Hanafuda's Observation Haki had just triggered the alarm when Enel appeared at the side of his neck.

Clang!

Hanafuda hastily gathered Armament Haki onto his scales, but still couldn't stop the halberd tip!

The sharp blade pierced through his defenses, and the pain made him roar out loud.

Enel immediately drew his halberd and dodged, reappearing on the other side.

Bang!

Another powerful kick landed squarely on the massive jaw.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's head slammed heavily into the ground, causing the surrounding ruins to collapse.

"You... aren't you Logia?!"

Hanafuda was panting heavily, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Why is he so strong even in close combat?!"

Enel landed on the broken wall and hoisted the Trident back onto his shoulder.

"Nonsense."

"I am Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral!"

Enel was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking.

Tsk.

Spending so much time with Ron has made me say things like that so naturally.

Hanafuda tried to struggle to get up, but her limbs were trembling uncontrollably.

Enel stopped laughing.

"Alright, that's enough testing."

Enel slowly rose into the air, with Four Tomoe Drums behind him resounding in succession.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Dark clouds pressed down on the Port, and blinding lightning bolts kept gathering between the clouds.

Hanafuda tilted her head back, her expression finally changing.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Enel! You can't kill me!

"I'm one of the Shichibukai!"

"Rest assured."

Enel grinned, his white teeth standing out prominently in the lightning.

"Vice Admiral Ron said, bring them back alive."

He raised his right hand, aiming at the huge target below.

"So, at most you'll only feel a little pain."

"El Thor!"

Boom--!

A blinding bolt of lightning shot straight down from the clouds!

Hanafuda desperately tried to protect his head and neck with Armament Haki, but he had long since run out of strength.

Lightning enveloped him completely, the ground collapsed with a deafening roar, and dust and rubble were thrown into the air by the shockwave.

A moment later, the lightning dissipated.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's body rapidly shrank, Hanafuda reverted to human form, lying motionless at the bottom of the pit, its body charred black.

Enel landed, Trident transformed back into a long staff along with the electric current.

He bent down and checked his breathing.

"Still alive, that's good."

Enel took out a pair of Seastone shackles from his equipment bag.

He put on protective gloves before bending down to lock Hanafuda's wrists.

"Tsk, I have to handcuff them myself to arrest them."

Enel took off his gloves and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"When we get back, I'll have Ron assign me an adjutant, so I don't have to do all this chores myself."

After doing all this, he turned around and went to search the main ship of the Hanafuda).

The remaining ship's hold contained ledgers and navigation logs, which recorded several transport routes and the Beasts Pirates' communication codes.

"Hahaha! The evidence is all ready for me now."

Enel stuffed the materials into a waterproof bag and took out a military Den Den Mushi.

"Hello, is this headquarters?"

"Tell Fleet Admiral Sengoku that I've captured Hanafuda! Send an escort ship over!"

The Den Den Mushi fell silent.

"Rear Admiral Enel? The Hanafuda you're referring to is..."

"Who else could it be? That giant lizard from the Shichibukai!"

"And remember this, sir."

"Several transport routes leading to the Beasts Pirates have been discovered on the Hanafuda ship, complete with coded communication signals."

The Marine on the other end of the Den Den Mushi quickly picked up a pen.

"Furthermore, Kaido just mentioned Doflamingo and Caesar, saying they are researching Artificial Devil Fruits."

"What--?!!"

"Don't panic, quickly report this to Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

Marineford, Fleet Admiral's Office.

"What?!"

The chair from the Sengoku period slammed backward, and the person had already stood up.

"The King of the Lizards Hanafuda, taken down by Enel all by himself?!"

"Yes! Rear Admiral Enel is unharmed, the target is confirmed unconscious, and is awaiting transport by warship!"

Sengoku took the call log that the Marine had just compiled.

Ancient Zoan, Kaido, Artificial Zoan... and they even brought up Doflamingo.

"Of all the Shichibukai, one is supplying Kaido with Devil Fruits, while the other is creating Artificial Devil Fruits for him?!"

Sengoku's face darkened.

"Where's Ron?!"

"Vice Admiral Ron has already taken Rear Admiral Vergo and Ron out to sea!"

Sengoku's eyelids twitched violently, and he quickly dialed Ron's Den Den Mushi.

In the New World, a warship is cutting through the waves.

Ron was flipping through the files on Dressrosa, while Law was wiping away the Kikoku beside him, and Vergo was checking the flight path.

Blu-ray!

"Hey, old man?"

"Ron! Hanafuda has captured Enel!"

"Oh? So fast."

"How can you not be surprised at all?!"

Ron smiled.

"Old man, if Enel can't even handle Hanafuda, then all his training these past two years has been for nothing?"

Sengoku choked for a moment.

"The matter of Kaido and the Artificial Zoan..."

"Seal off the evidence of the Hanafuda for now, and follow the procedures for issuing the arrest notice. We'll discuss the rest when I get back."

Where are you now?

Ron flipped over the photos on the table.

In the photo, Doflamingo, wearing sunglasses, is laughing wildly.

"I have someone here who's even more troublesome."

"That guy seems to be really planning to make a move against Dressrosa."
