Enel's Shock

Marine Headquarters Marineford

After two days of sailing, Roy and his crew didn't rush to their destination. Instead, they took the opportunity to wipe out several small Pirate crews with bounties of tens of millions, giving Ace, Luffy, Zoro, Kuina, and Law some practice, and also letting Enel see what "daily life of Blue Sea People" is like.

Of course, Enel, who was tied up and locked in the bottom of the Warship, kept rolling his eyes the whole time, and his Mantra was getting a headache from the Pirates ' cries.

Back at the Marine Headquarters Harbor, Roy left Law behind to handle the tedious tasks of docking Warships and transferring prisoners, while he, along with Luffy, Ace, Zoro, Kuina, and Enel, who had just removed his Seastone and looked resigned to his fate, Teleportation directly to the Marine Headquarters Training Ground.

"Whoosh--!"

The group Teleportation to the open space in the center of the Marine Headquarters Training Ground, where the iconic towers, giant ships, and training Dial devices of the Marine Headquarters were clearly visible.

Upon landing, Enel instinctively opened his "Mantra," habitually scanning his surroundings.

"This... this is?!"

Lightning flashed from his eyes, then his pupils contracted sharply, and his expression changed drastically.

In his perception, the entire Marine Headquarters was like a giant monster's lair, with countless powerful auras as vast as the ocean, among which the oppressive aura of five auras was no less than that of Roy!

"The world beneath the clouds... there are so many monsters?!" Enel was shocked, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. His arrogant and remnant self-proclaimed "god" was completely shattered into thunderous fragments.

Just as Enel was stunned, a robust, purple-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back on one side of the Training Ground, facing dozens of new recruits, and roared loudly, "Gather your energy in your dantian, root yourself to the ground! You are the Navy, not chickens raised in the Harbor!!"

As soon as that familiar, booming voice rang out, Luffy jumped up in surprise. "Zephyr- sensei!!"

Zephyr didn't turn around, his laughter and scolding booming. "You brat, finally decided to come back? What, did you have a good trip?"

Roy grinned and shoved Enel forward. "Sensei, Ace and the others did a great job!"

"Look, we even packed you a Rumble-Rumble Fruit- Devil Fruit User! He loves calling himself 'God,' so you'll have to teach him a lesson."

Upon hearing Zephyr turned around abruptly, his gaze beneath his purple hair as sharp as a blade, piercing straight at Enel!

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!"

"And he likes to call himself 'God'?"

In that instant, Enel almost instinctively took a half-step back, his hair standing on end. "This old man is a monster too!"

Zephyr sized him up a few times, then snorted expressionlessly, "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit... it is indeed quite rare."

"But Lei, judging from your eyes, you haven't had enough of a beating yet?"

Enel's lips twitched, and he was about to retort when his Mantra immediately sounded an alarm!

As if foreseeing that once he uttered those words, he would be double-teamed during the Training Ground livestream, and a chill ran down his spine. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Luffy bounced up, shouting, "Zephyr- sensei! Sky Island was so much fun! We even beat up a guy who called himself 'God'!"

Zephyr raised an eyebrow. "Oh? It's the one next to you, right?"

Ace shrugged. "He was pretty arrogant at first, but after Roy 'taught him a lesson,' he resigned himself to his fate."

Zoro said in a deep voice, "However, he is indeed very strong. If Kuina and I go up against him, our chances of winning are not high."

Kuina nodded. "Especially their speed; they can transform into lightning and dodge in an instant, making them truly troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Zephyr immediately smiled with interest, "Interesting! Roy, leave this kid to me, I just happen to need a 'teaching material'."

Roy nodded with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

Enel down his spine. "Teaching materials?!"

"Don't be nervous, my lesson was only slightly violent." Zephyr patted his shoulder, his knuckles cracking.

"Your current profession, from 'god' to a trainee naval recruit, is that alright?"

"No problem, no problem!" Enel's lips twitched so hard they almost spasmed, and he answered instantly.

"Very good, it seems you have great potential to be a navy officer!" Zephyr nodded with satisfaction.

Enel, utterly despondent, thought, "This place... is full of monsters..."

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Marineford 'Fleet Admiral's Office

The heavy wooden door creaked open, and Roy stepped inside.

Inside the room, Sengoku was engrossed in a mountain of official documents, his pen flying across the paper, his expression meticulous.

On the sofa not far away, Garp was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a bag of his secret stash of "Sengoku" brand Senbei, munching away with gusto.

"Hey, kid, you've finally decided to come back?" Garp grinned Sea Kings, waving Senbei in his hand. "Want a bite?"

"Then I won't be polite." Roy grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing and commenting, "Hmm... still the same old taste, but this stolen food tastes even better."

Sengoku looked up, adjusted his Glasses, and said with a helpless yet serious tone, "Garp, you went through my drawers again?!"

"What do you mean 'again'? I'm just checking the expiration dates of your snacks regularly." Garp said matter-of-factly.

Sengoku rolled his eyes, then turned his gaze back to Roy: "I've read the Sky Island training report. Well done!"

His tone shifted, his gaze turning serious. "But tell me more about the 'additional gains' you mentioned in your report."

Roy's lips curled into a faint smile as he pulled a well-organized intelligence report from his pocket and slammed it onto Sengoku's table, "Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User, Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel, the 'God' of Sky Island."

"Possesses Observation Haki covering the entire Sky Island, enabling ultra-wide-range perception and precise strikes. Its Devil Fruit power is extremely high, resulting in immense destructive force!"

"What?!" Sengoku jumped to his feet, his chair creaking, his Glasses nearly slipping off. "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?! That's one of the top-tier Logia- type abilities!"

"Observation Haki covering the entire island?" Garp paused, his eyebrows rising. "If this were the New World, he'd know if a Pirate ship even got a hundred miles away, right?"

Roy shrugged. "Sure, but this guy's ideas are seriously warped, his head is full of 'God' and 'punishment' stuff. He's much more obedient after I beat him up, and now he's being 'further trained' by Teacher Zephyr."

After listening, Sengoku's expression turned grave, and he tapped his knuckles lightly on the table. "You know, Roy... a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's level of power, if they lose control of it—the consequences are unimaginable."

Roy nodded seriously after listening. "I understand. So I will personally supervise his transformation process until he completely breaks free from that set of divine delusions! Professor Zephyr is also very interested in it."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku finally sat down with relief and sighed softly, "Alright! In that case, you will be fully responsible for this person."

"But if he makes any unusual moves—"

"I'll take care of him immediately." Roy's tone was decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

This calmness and decisiveness left the Sengoku period nodding in silence.

Garp suddenly slapped him on the back, laughing like a mischievous old man, "Well done, kid! You managed to bring back such a powerful Logia, you've really made the Navy proud this time!"

He crunched down the last Senbei, laughing heartily, "I bet Sakazuki will be thrilled after reading the report! He'll definitely snatch this kind of combat power as his 'troop reserve'!"

Sengoku sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. "I've already prepared the script for his table-pounding tantrum tomorrow."

"It's alright, I'll handle it."

Roy chuckled, "I happen to have some free time these days, so I thought I'd help Fleet Admiral finish off some Senbei."

"Get lost, one by one!" Sengoku was so angry that he picked up the folder and wanted to smash it.

Meanwhile, Marine Headquarters - Rear Mountain

As evening approached, a gentle breeze blew, and the clouds on the horizon shone like fire.

In the clearing Rear Mountain, a green-haired figure stood silently before the slope, his gaze sharp as a knife, fixed intently on the distance not far away—

A Marine Admiral is lounging in a sun lounger, legs crossed, taking a nap.

"Admiral Kizaru," Zoro said in a deep voice, arms crossed.

Kizaru's sunglasses slipped down slightly, and his eyelids twitched.

"Please instruct me in swordsmanship!" Zoro's tone was as firm as iron.

Kizaru yawned lazily, his voice casual. "Wow~ Young people these days really have a lot of energy..."

"I'm on vacation today!"

Zoro remained unmoved, standing still. "Brother Roy once said that you possess a sword of light called 'Ama no Murakumo'."

Kizaru raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You want to learn that?"

Zoro narrowed his eyes. "He said that although you're a professional 'slacker,' your swordsmanship is terrifyingly fast."

Kizaru's lips twitched. "Tsk, what a brat with such a loose tongue..."

Zoro drew his twin swords, the oppressive aura surging forth like a tidal wave. "I want to know, how to cut through light with a sword!"

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Kizaru finally sat up, abandoning his lazy attitude, and looked seriously at the boy in front of him.

"Interesting..."

He stood up from the sun lounger, casually tossing his coat around.

"You're the first person to make me work overtime, kid~"

"Buzz--!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a dazzling golden light and vanished instantly.

"Keep up~" that lazy voice drifted from the horizon.

Zoro grinned, stomped his foot, the ground cracked open, and he shot forward!

Deep in the Rear Mountain - Swordsmanship Trial Ground

At the top of the cliff, the sea breeze howls.

Kizaru stood on the edge of the cliff, a dazzling golden sword slowly condensing at his fingertips, like a star solidified, fiery and mysterious.

"The Ama no Murakumo," he said softly, "Is an extension of light, and also my strike."

With a casual gesture, three huge rocks a hundred meters away snapped in two, the breaks as smooth as a mirror, without even a ripple.

Upon seeing this, Zoro's pupils contracted sharply. He made no move to swing his sword, nor did he trace any path!

"You know what, kid?" Kizaru said as he approached, "Light doesn't wait, and it doesn't regret. If you want to cut it, you first have to be able to see it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his figure suddenly appeared behind Zoro in the next second, the Ama no Murakumo pressed against Zoro's back.

"What is the essence of Observation Haki?" he asked calmly.

"To predict... the future," Zoro answered in a low voice, sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Hmm~ Half right." Kizaru chuckled, but his tone turned colder. "More accurately, it's about perceiving 'possibility'."

A burst of golden light erupted, Light Sword suddenly slashed down!

"Boom!!"

Zoro almost instinctively dodged to the side, the Sandai Kitetsu as it blocked the incoming blade, his entire arm instantly going numb!

"Not bad reaction~" Kizaru's voice rang out from all directions, his tone both mocking and sharp.

The next second, in mid-air--

Dozens of Light Sword appeared, like a prelude to the fall of stars, shining with the light of destruction and trial.

"Give it a try, kid~" Kizaru chuckled lazily, his figure appearing high in the sky.

"Let's see if you can survive a light-speed slash."

Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a rare glint of fire flashing in his eyes.

"Three-Sword Style..." he muttered through gritted teeth, "I will never die before I even get my hands on that sword!!"

Golden light and sword shadows clashed fiercely!

And so begins Zoro's training path to "cut the light"!
