"Oh, this seems to be a new move!"
Even Cifer had never seen Lightning Eye before. Looking back, it seemed that Lei Tong had been preparing for this day for a long time.
"Get ready, Captain!"
"200 Million Volts Thunder Body!"
Lightning, solidified into armor, covered Enel's entire body. With a single step, he instantly appeared before Cifer.
"So fast!"
Cifer's pupils contracted slightly, and the instant he disappeared, a huge crater was blasted into the ground where he had been.
"That's truly astonishing! In just a few months, it's reached this level?!"
Standing in the air, Cifer looked at the scorched area and was somewhat surprised.
When they first met, Enel couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, but now he's almost as fast as Enel when he's lost in thought.
Quasi-Emperor Level!
If we only consider speed and destructive power, there is no doubt that he has entered the strongest tier, and is no less than the Yonko.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
Enel wore a smug smile as he chased after Cifer, their blades clashing constantly, but Enel's attacks always fell just short of landing.
But with the help of Lightning Eye, he was able to keep up with Cifer, who was previously unable to see his figure clearly.
However, since he was wrapped in lightning armor with a voltage of up to 200 million volts, Cifer did not attack rashly.
"These two are on the same boat, it feels like they could be the next Roger and you!"
Shakky sighed, both of them were incredibly terrifying monsters.
"No, judging solely from strength, Cifer would probably surpass Roger, and now that I'm getting old, I'd have a hard time against Enel."
Rayleigh's expression had lost its composure, for he had never seen Cifer show such panic before.
Whether it was that time with Aokiji, or now facing Enel in his full-power state, I would definitely have a headache if it were me!
"Cero!"
"It's no use! Divine Judgment!"
Enel, in his prime, was fearless and responded directly with a lightning attack at maximum power.
Surprisingly, the two were equally powerful, effectively canceling each other out.
Could it be...?
Cifer noticed something was wrong.
"Cifer, I know you can't possibly be this weak. You're not going to fight me head-on! I want you to go all out!"
"Are you going to humiliate your own companion?!"
Enel was dissatisfied with his opponent's constant defense and dodging. He craved a fierce battle, and even if he was defeated, he did not want his efforts to be in vain.
"As you wish!"
"Seal it off, Black Winged Great Demon!"
Black wings unfurled, and boundless Spiritual Pressure poured down like rain, spreading a terrifying aura.
Really!
Cifer's guess was not a misconception; he hadn't had the chance to fight at full strength before, so he hadn't noticed it.
During his normal clash with Enel, he had already noticed a significant improvement in his strength.
Even the Flame Emperor might not be able to withstand Enel's initial Cero in its normal state, and Enel's current strength is clearly greater than Ace's at that time.
However, he is still only able to contend with himself, which means that he himself in his normal state has strength no less than that of the Yonko.
And after Resurrección, the increase in power is even more exaggerated and astonishing! Even without making a move, one can feel that surging power.
If I were to face Akainu and Whitebeard again now, I would no longer find it difficult.
We will win!
Cifer began to wonder when this increase had started.
This obviously happened after the battle with Enel Sky Island, when I wasn't in such a strong state yet.
After that, I never took it seriously again.
So, what exactly has happened so far...?
"Is this your full power... You really are like a monster!"
Enel felt the terrifyingly strong aura, and his excitement soared. This was what he had been pursuing!
Distracted from his train of thought, Cifer looked at his soaring fighting spirit, threw the Banlong down from the air, and stuck the sword straight into the ground. It was no longer needed.
Cifer naturally couldn't unleash his full power against Enel; his current Resurrección was more than enough to crush him.
"Don't waver, don't break down, stay on your guard, don't relax for even a second."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cifer disappeared into the sky, just like always.
"It's useless against Lightning Eye and Mantra at their peak..."
Before Enel could finish speaking, a fist slammed into his lightning armor.
The lightning armor shattered with a crash, transforming into lightning that coiled around Cifer's body, while Enel was sent flying once more.
Two hundred million volts flashed continuously on Cifer's body, but could not harm him in the slightest. When Enel struggled to get up, he saw an unbelievable scene.
That man, bathed in the thunderous force, was like God.
"As expected of my captain!"
The surrounding environment was a mess, but Enel smiled despite his humiliation.
"Continue."
The moment he uttered those two words, Cifer vanished again.
"Lightning Step!"
Enel flashed around at lightning speed without any pattern.
Since the opponent's speed is so fast that even the Mantra and Lightning Eye can't keep up, then keep moving so that he can't easily touch you either.
"It's useless."
Enel was jumping around, was suddenly pressed down on the head by a large hand and slammed to the ground, embedding himself in the soil.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Cifer's fist coming towards him. His whole body trembled, and a large area of the ground collapsed. He then transformed into his elemental form and dodged the attack through the gap.
"Divine Judgment!"
After creating distance, he unleashed a thunderbolt with all his might towards Cifer, melting and shattering everything in its path.
"Garganta!"
The flash of light that burst from his fingertips instantly eroded all the lightning, and the somewhat exhausted Enel could only watch helplessly as the Garganta rushed towards him.
Just as he was about to be hit head-on, a tall figure blocked his way.
Cifer simply stretched out one hand, caught the attack he had launched that had filled Enel with despair, and then crushed it into dust.
In the end, it seems that nothing has changed.
The latter slumped to the ground in despair, all his efforts over the past few months seemingly a joke, ending in the same way again.
"Don't talk nonsense. If I could be easily surpassed, how could I be your captain?"
"I am the strongest!"
Cifer reached out his hand to him.
"The God are not easily defeated!"
Enel smiled calmly, took his hand, and stood up again.
"Mr. Cifer ~"
Seeing that the battle was over, Bater, who had been hiding behind Rayleigh since arriving at the scene not long ago, finally dared to speak up.
"Um?"
Cifer turned around and saw Bater running towards him, holding a tin box in his hands.
"It's Devil Fruit! This Devil Fruit appeared on the island today. Although it's just a very ordinary Paramecia, I still managed to get it for you!"
Bater was very excited. He had only given the order a few days ago, and now Ba Si had managed to get the goods. It was as if the heavens had helped him!
"I even specially put it in a box made entirely of Seastone and locked it to ensure it was airtight!"
As he spoke, he took out his key, intending to open the box.
"Etc!"
Cifer reached out to stop him, deactivated his Black Winged Great Demon form, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.
"What's going on!"
Rayleigh and Enel were the most surprised. At this moment, their Observation Haki couldn't detect Cifer's presence at all!
He was standing right there, but I just couldn't feel his presence!
"Open it!"
"Yes!"
Bater carefully and quickly opened the box, and a fruit with a spiral pattern was presented to Cifer.
"As expected... it was a hoax."
