"What? Are you afraid of my power and dare not continue the fight?" Enel knew he couldn't defeat Crocodile the Sand, but he still wasn't willing to let go of any opportunity to gain an advantage.
"Hmph, I hope you'll still be laughing so happily after witnessing the captain's power." Crocodile the Sand looked at Enel with pity in his eyes. Roy's greatest strength was his versatility, without any weaknesses. Until now, Crocodile had not figured out Roy's true strength. Without a doubt, he was an unfathomable man.
Although Enel is powerful, his weaknesses are also very obvious. He doesn't understand Armament Haki, lacks combat experience, and even his proud Observation Haki is suppressed by Roy. Under these circumstances, Crocodile the Sand really can't think of any possibility for Enel to turn the tide.
"Hmm? Could it be that you're also a Logia Fruit user?" In fact, Enel was starting to suspect that Roy and the others were just bluffing.
You have to understand, on the entire Sky Island, let alone finding someone who can match him, there are very few people who can even withstand his attacks and survive.
But today, not only did a guy appear who could fight him to a standstill, but that guy was also a subordinate of another ridiculously young bastard, which made him, who considered himself a god, furious.
"Although the Logia is powerful, it doesn't mean it's invincible. Next, I will use the power that truly belongs to the gods to defeat you." Roy couldn't help but sigh. Habit is indeed a powerful force. He can now say such words without blushing at all.
"Hahaha, did I hear that right? You actually said you'd defeat me? How arrogant! Gods can never be defeated." Enel wasn't worried. Even someone as strong as Crocodile the Sand before him, who was also a Logia Fruit user and possessed a strange power that could hurt him, still couldn't do anything to him in the end.
Even the Shandia Warriors who followed him didn't have much confidence in Roy. After all, the abilities that Enel and Crocodile the Sand had displayed were already the limit of what they could imagine. Even a true god wouldn't be much better.
"Now you will taste the wrath of the gods!" Before anyone knew it, Enel's staff had transformed into a trident, and a barrage of lightning, carrying boundless power, crashed down.
Mortals cannot fathom the might of Heaven, nor can they detect the movements of lightning. Before anyone could react, a lightning pillar with a diameter of about ten meters struck Roy, engulfing him entirely in a sea of lightning.
"Oh no, Enel is too fast! Even the gods can't react in time!" Laki exclaimed in surprise, collapsing onto the Cloud Layer.
"Impossible, that man's strength couldn't be just that." Even though he had already submitted to Roy, Wyper still denied the existence of God from the bottom of his heart, but he also didn't believe that the man who had defeated him by sheer willpower would fall so easily.
"It was just a bluff after all. It seems that the guy from before was their leader." Enel stopped paying attention to the exploding sea of lightning and turned his attention to the Crocodile the Sand. As the embodiment of lightning, he knew the moment he hit Roy that the enemy had not Elementalization and had actually taken the hit.
In his subconscious, unless another Logia-type Logia Fruit user used Elementalization, no one could withstand the power of lightning.
"Are all you monkeys from the Blue Sea good for? These underhanded tricks are boring. Unfortunately, before God, no means are of any use." Enel looked at Crocodile the Sand's group with a self-satisfied expression.
But he soon discovered that Crocodile the Sand and the others were calm and composed, looking at him with a hint of mockery. The group of Shandia savages were dumbfounded, while his God's Enforcer tremblingly raised their fingers and pointed behind him.
"Hmph, trying to trick me? You'll soon realize how foolish it is to deceive the gods!" Enel scoffed. In his Mantra's eye, there was no trace of anyone behind him. He thought to himself with disdain, "It seems these monkeys from the Blue Sea will never understand that the most feared aspect of the gods is their omniscience and omnipotence."
"Is this the power of thunder? Not bad, I'll gladly accept it." Roy's indifferent voice came from behind Enel, causing him to lose his composure and his limbs to stiffen. Before he could think about the meaning behind Roy's words, he heard Roy continue, "Next, let me let you taste the wrath of thunder."
The massive lightning pillar instantly shattered Enel's body, and the surging electric snakes coalesced, clearly unharmed. After all, trying to defeat lightning with the power of thunder was utter nonsense.
But judging from Enel's blank expression, one could tell how much of a shock he had suffered. The shock he felt just now was even more unbearable than the fact that the disabled cigar-smoking man could fight him to a standstill.
"This is... the power of thunder! Could it be that God is truly omnipotent?" Laki muttered to herself. However, she was not alone in being a brainwashed Shandia Warriors.
"How is this possible? How can you also wield the power of thunder? You despicable bastard, how dare you steal the authority of the gods!" Enel was furious, clearly Roy's actions had crossed his bottom line.
"This is the power a true god should possess: the unity of all things, the rule of the world." Roy didn't answer Enel's question, but instead earnestly deceived him.
In fact, Roy's abilities are somewhat similar to Big Mom's. She infuses her soul into thunderclouds to gain the power of Zeus to control the weather, while Roy brings dreams into reality to gain the Nightmare of Nightmare to control dreams.
Of course, Big Mom can possess multiple abilities such as lightning, fire, and a greatsword at the same time, while Nightmare can only transform into one legendary creature at a time. Only after the Devil Fruit Awakening can the Dream Realm be fully projected into reality.
Enel, who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, was the embodiment of lightning. Nightmare's control over lightning was naturally no match for Enel's, but Roy didn't intend to rely on the power of lightning to defeat Enel.
Roy borrowed the power of lightning primarily to attack Enel's mind. For someone like Enel who considered himself a god, the goal was to shatter his pride in every way and make him deeply aware of the gap between them.
Judging from Enel's performance, Roy's plan was clearly successful.
His current anger stems from inner fear, and his rage is merely a way to mask that fear.
Fear is the beginning of failure.
