Enel

Biodata

Background

Enel was a Birkan with unusually sharp senses before eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Within half a month, he discovered that he could transform into lightning and use his enhanced Mantra to overhear distant conversations. He used his new powers to frighten villagers and began considering himself a god 77.

Ron arrived on Birka with Law and invited Enel to the Blue Sea. Enel attacked him instead, but Ron defeated him using Air Doors and Armament Haki. After learning about Haki and the powerful fighters beyond the Sky Islands, Enel abandoned his immediate plan to take control of Birka and agreed to travel with Ron 77 78 79.

Appearance

Enel is a lean, blond young man with gray-blue eyes. Four drums are mounted on a ring behind his back, and sparks of lightning sometimes flicker across his body 77 81.

• His drums are described as bearing three-tomoe designs 77.
• He carries a self-forged Golden Staff after joining the Marines 86.

Personality

Enel is arrogant, quick-tempered, and eager to prove himself against strong opponents. He repeatedly calls himself a god, boasts about his victories, and resents being ordered around. Even after Ron defeated him, he challenged both Zephyr and Sakazuki at Marine Headquarters 78 80 81.

Training made Enel more disciplined and reliable on missions, although he remained prone to bragging. During Zephyr’s training voyage, he protected the recruits, checked on the wounded, and returned to help his teacher when Zephyr’s asthma worsened during a fight 86 97 98 100.

Abilities & Skills

Rumble-Rumble Fruit

Enel’s Logia-type Devil Fruit lets him generate, control, and transform into lightning. He uses it for rapid movement as well as ranged and close-combat attacks 77 78.

Story Role

Recruitment and Marine training

After leaving Birka, Enel visited Shandora with Ron and Law, then traveled across the Grand Line while Ron recruited him for the Marines. At Marine Headquarters, Zephyr and Sakazuki began correcting his poor defense, obvious attacks, and lack of discipline 80 81.

Over the following two years, Enel helped Ron capture major pirates and rose to Rear Admiral. His Observation and Armament Haki improved, as did his control over lightning 86.

Hanafuda’s capture

Ron sent Enel to investigate Hanafuda’s search for Ancient Zoan fruits. At Grant Port, Enel discovered that Hanafuda’s crew had massacred the residents and overheard a call connecting Hanafuda to Kaido, Doflamingo, and Caesar 86 87.

Enel defeated Hanafuda, restrained him with Seastone cuffs, and searched his flagship. He reported transport routes and contact codes linking Hanafuda to the Beasts Pirates, along with what he had learned about Artificial Devil Fruit research 88.

Training voyage and Weevil’s attack

Ron assigned Enel to accompany Zephyr’s training voyage and protect the recruits while letting them handle manageable fights. Enel carried wounded Marines to the infirmary and intervened when attacks threatened their lives 97 98.

On an island stop, Bakkin ordered Weevil to attack the Marines. Enel helped evacuate the recruits, rescued Zephyr during an asthma attack, and fought Weevil despite suffering a shoulder wound. Enel and Zephyr defeated Weevil together, and Enel captured Bakkin when she tried to escape 99 100 101.
