Thunder's Wrath
Appearing in front of Hody Jones was a naked, grotesque man with Long Ears and a golden ring running through his back.
That guy had a pair of dead fish eyes that looked down on everyone, and a faint, smug smile on his lips, giving people a strong urge to kick him in the face a few times.
"My God, what's with this feeling of wanting to pin him to the ground and beat him to death even though it's the first time I've seen him like this? Could this be what the seniors mean by the Celestial Dragons' innate aura of taunting?" A Fish-Man said, barely suppressing the urge to jump off the city wall and fight the Long Ears to the death.
"But is this guy really Celestial Dragons? Are all Celestial Dragons such masochistic perverts?" A mermaid girl scanned the Long Ears man with a gossipy look.
"I've seen people flaunt their wealth by wearing dozens of diamond necklaces around their necks and dozens of gold rings on their fingers and toes, but this is the first time I've seen such a ruthless way of showing off wealth—gold inlaid into the back! This guy is definitely a tough one!" Some Fish-Man commented on the gold rings on the pervert's back.
Jinbe looked at the calm and collected Long Ears man and had a "mmp" in his heart. He had witnessed the battle through the live broadcast and knew that Enel was also a monster with terrifying strength.
"The fish-man island is already in such chaos, why don't monsters like you stop intervening, okay? Also, a strong man like you would be caught by Hody Jones's men. Is this kind of gameplay really interesting?" The spirit of complaining in Jinbei's heart was burning.
Hody seemed to know the doubts in everyone's minds, and explained with a smile, "This guy came down from that Ark Maxim. I can't think of any other answer besides Celestial Dragons who could own such an extravagant vehicle. Moreover, this guy is fat and big-eared, and must be rich and noble. He even has gold embroidered on his back. Only a freak like Celestial Dragons would do that."
Enel's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was indeed only playing along with their act because he was bored out of his mind, but that didn't mean he was willing to be called a pervert by the ants in his eyes.
Enel turned his head slightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Hody Jones, having already marked the Fish-Man's death in his mental notebook.
Jinbe, who had been watching Enel's movements Jinbe, noticed this scene and knew things were going badly. He knew how terrifying the Phantom Sword Pirates were, and if this behemoth were involved, Fish-Man Island, which was already in a precarious state, would probably face destruction. So he hurriedly shouted, "Hody, you bastard, he's not a Celestial Dragons at all! Release him right now!"
"Hahaha, Jinbe, Jinbe you think I'm an idiot? If he weren't Celestial Dragons, why are you in such a hurry? But judging from your expression, you really are determined to be a human's dog!"
Jinbe, unable to maintain his composure, burst out, "You're an idiot! He doesn't even have the bubble hood that Celestial Dragons have, how could he be Celestial Dragons? Let me tell you the truth, this guy is a monster whose strength is no less than mine, and his captain is the great pirate Nightmare Roy, who possesses the power to destroy the entire Fish-Man Island! What you're doing now is leading Fish-Man Island step by step into the abyss!"
"Hahaha, this is the first time I've ever heard of Jinbe's ability to make up stories." Hody Jones dismissed Jinbe's words with disdain. In his opinion, this annoying pervert had no such thing as the aura of a strong person. Moreover, if this pervert were really a strong person whose strength was no less than Jinbe's, how could he have been captured by his henchmen?
Hody Jones didn't notice was that after Jinbe finished speaking, his 30,000 human pirate prisoners began to stir restlessly. Most of these human pirates had been captured and trained for more than half a year, so naturally they hadn't witnessed the battle Enel and Akainu. However, Roy's reputation had already spread throughout the entire sea two years ago.
Seeing Hody Jones's behavior, Jinbe knew that things were definitely not going to end well today.
Fukaboshi looked at Jinbe with surprise. Knowing Jinbe as he did, he knew that Jinbe was not the kind of Fish-Man who would spout nonsense, but he still asked incredulously, "Jinbe, is what you said really true?"
"Your Prince, I also wish I were lying to him, but the truth is, let alone his unfathomable captain, I have no guarantee of victory even against this man before us. Before this, the worst outcome was that Hody would take control of Fish-Man Island, and we would at least have a chance to turn the tide. But after this guy appeared, the greatest disaster we face may be the complete destruction of the entire Fish-Man Island," Jinbe said in a deep voice.
Fukaboshi naturally believed Jinbe's words without a doubt, and said with a heavy heart, "Damn it, why is Fish-Man Island suffering such a nightmare? Has the sea god abandoned us?"
"Hmph, enough of the nonsense. Let me begin the most exciting part of today's story." Hody Jones shook the water droplet in his hand, which shot out like a bullet. "Let me use the blood of the Celestial Dragons to cleanse the ugliness of this world!"
The water droplets pierced through Enel's body to everyone's astonishment, as if hitting invisible air.
"How is this possible?" Hody Jones' eyes widened. To prepare for today's battle, he had taken a whole plate of potent drugs, and his casual Water Shot had the power of cannonballs. Even Jinbe couldn't handle it so easily.
Thinking of Jinbe's advice to him, sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead.
"First, let me correct you on one point. I'm not some trash like the Celestial Dragons. I'm Thunder God Enel, the Vice Captain of the Phantom Sword Pirates!" Enel continued, rolling his dead fish eyes, his tone as cold as the dead of winter. "And then, as an offense against a god, I'll show you what the wrath of thunder is. Accept the God's Punishment!"
Rumble!
Dazzling lightning, blinding thunder.
In an instant, Hody Jones was engulfed in the sea of lightning, leaving only his heart-wrenching roar. Those Fish-Man pirates who were slightly closer to him were reduced to ashes before they could even make their last sound.
Fish-Man Island, located 10,000 meters below the surface of the ocean, witnessed the terror of thunder for the first time, with almost all the Fish-Man prostrating themselves before this vast divine might.
"What... what kind of power is this? I've never seen it before, yet it makes me tremble from the depths of my soul!" Fukaboshi stared in horror at the scene, his royal pride preventing him from kneeling down.
"This is one of the most terrifying forces of nature on the high seas—the power of thunder!" Jinbe said, half explaining and half marveling. "Before the might of nature, everyone must realize their own insignificance!"
Ahem, well, some classmates actually suspected I was going to abandon this project? What a joke! Although I may be short and weak, I still have something to offer. Abandonment is out of the question! As for writer's block, that's an inevitable part of every struggling writer's journey. I'm not going to be defeated by mere writer's block! Enduring hardship without complaint—that's the Path of Asura! (?_)
