Enel vs. Jinbe

"This is really troublesome. If it were any other ability user, as long as I could bring in the seawater, it would be my absolute home ground. But if I were to manipulate the ocean currents at will in front of this guy, I would have Jinbe to escape." Jinping's expression was serious. Fish-Man can only unleash their full potential in the ocean, and this situation is extremely disadvantageous for him.

Although the two sides only exchanged blows briefly, it was enough to get a sense of some of each other's strength. Enel's display of only the tip of the Iceberg was enough to make Enel's heart sink.

That man who controls lightning is definitely not the kind of lucky guy who only knows how to rely on Elementalization. Not only has he developed his Devil Fruit Ability to the Awakening level, but his dual-color Haki is also extremely extraordinary. In particular Observation Haki is far superior to his own. This kind of enemy is indeed so powerful that it makes people despair.

"However, even if the situation is unfavorable, I will not let you step in front of me. After all, the entire nation of Fish-Man Island stands behind me! Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!" Jinbe's will had long been tempered to the point of indomitable will. He quickly adjusted his mindset and, in the process of rapid advance, unleashed a powerful and unparalleled roundhouse kick towards Enel.

The right leg, enveloped in a black luster, faintly emitted a sound like thunder and lightning, as if a heavy giant axe were splitting mountains and cleaving peaks.

"Thunder Armor · Heavy Current Burst!" To Jinbe's astonishment, Enel abandoned his greatest advantage of speed. Blue lightning coiled around his entire body, and the Golden Staff in his hand visibly smelted into golden arm guards. He then delivered an elbow strike to Jinbe's spinning kick.

Boom!

Ripples spread rapidly outwards from the center of the two combatants.

Enel's attack was easily countered; he flew backward like a cannonball and crashed into the wall behind him, disappearing into the ruins.

"Great Jinbe's attack worked! I knew that Long Ears guy couldn't possibly be a match for Jinbe!"

"Jinbe won! We're saved!"

"Jinbe truly lives up to his reputation as the guardian deity of our Fish-Man Island!"

Seeing this, the Fish-Man on the city wall were overjoyed, after all, Enel's terrifying attack had left a very deep impression on them.

But Fukaboshi wasn't as optimistic as the others. He already knew from Jinbe that the opponent's strength was beyond human capabilities; he was essentially a monster in human skin. If he were really that easy to deal with, Jinbe wouldn't be so wary.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that Jinbe's expression has not relaxed at all; on the contrary, it has become even more serious. "Besides his speed and Devil Fruit Ability, is this guy's physique also this strong?"

Sure enough, the ruins at the edge of the city wall shot out in all directions like bullets. Enel jumped up as if nothing had happened, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and, completely unconcerned about his disheveled appearance, laughed loudly, "It seems the captain was right after all. With my lightning-activated body cells, I can instantly increase my physical strength by more than one level. Two years ago, if I had taken a full-force attack from a Body Technique expert like you, I would probably have been seriously injured, if not killed. But now, hahaha, it's no big deal!"

"How can this be? This is so unfair!" The mermaids around them covered their mouths in concern again.

"He's clearly not a Body Technique expert, yet he managed to withstand Jinbe's full-force attack and is still alive and kicking. Damn it, are all the monsters on the sea like this?" Fukaboshi now understood why Jinbe had been so tight-lipped about this before.

"Is it Nightmare again? He really is an omnipresent monster!" Jinbe a deep breath and once again assumed the Fish-Man Karate stance.

"Again? But this time I won't be your target again." Enel chuckled, forging the golden ring wrapped around his arm into a trident shape, with electric snakes leaping at the tip.

"Fish-Man Karate [Secret Technique]... Wulai Pierce!" Jinbe's right hand condensed into a water ball, gathering his mind and strength, and he unleashed it with a thunderous roar.

"It's time for you to feel despair, taste the wrath of thunder, 200 Million Volt Thunder God!" Enel transformed into the form of the god of thunder, infusing his trident with lightning, as if unleashing a world-destroying punishment, and instantly hurled the Thunder Trident.

The power of thunder instantly pierced through the water sphere, pinning Jinbe's body to the ground with unstoppable force, causing the entire plaza to collapse and sink.

The situation on the field changed rapidly, leaving the group of Fish-Man, who were still immersed in the joy of victory, at a loss. Thinking about their fate, they felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

"You damned bastard, you won't get away with this..." It wasn't just the civilians who were knocked down by the sudden turn of events, but also Fukaboshi had always appeared very calm.

Fukaboshi, already filled with rage from the series of events that day, finally had his powder keg ignited, and charged toward Enel, brandishing his trident.

"You're courting death!" Enel didn't even bother to look at enemies other than Jinbe, let alone use his full strength. With a light tap of his right index finger, hair-thin electric snakes landed on Fukaboshi.

"Ah..." Fukaboshi was experiencing the taste of thunder for the first time, collapsed to the ground, his whole body convulsing uncontrollably. Compared to the physical pain, the mental torment was the greatest punishment for him. "Why is the gap so big? I can't even withstand such a slight force? Damn it!"

"Enel, I'm not completely defeated yet. Don't drag others into our battle." Jinbe, who had struggled to crawl out of the ruins, once again assumed the Fish-Man Karate stance.

"Your insistence is futile. Someone like you should understand the difference between us. No matter how much you struggle, the outcome will not change."

"No need for further words, I will fight for this country to the last moment, even if it means bleeding to death!" Jinbe endured the excruciating pain and launched another attack, "Shark Tile True Fist!"

Bang!

Jinbe, whose body was wrapped in electric snakes, was blasted into the ground again, with almost no power to fight back.

If it's Jinbe, the "Knight of the Sea" who can control the ocean currents and unleash his full combat power, his strength would rank among the top of the Shichibukai. However, if it's just pure Fish-Man Karate, his strength might not even be as good as Crocodile the Sand, only above Moria. So it's not surprising that he was so easily defeated by Enel.

The strength of a person who holds fast to their beliefs lies in the fact that they can be eliminated, but they cannot be defeated.

Even though he was covered in blood, his skin was torn and flesh was ripped open, and blood was flowing freely, even though he was already at the point where he could no longer fight, Jinbe still stood in front of Enel time and time again, blocking his way.

The Fish-Man were already sobbing uncontrollably, pleading, "Jinbe, please don't get up again!"

Even Enel, who was arrogant and looked down on everyone, was shocked, but Yu still refused to pay.

Hody Jones's brutal voice rang out once more, "How disgusting, Jinbe. I want you to kill him, not to see how you get defeated. As the strongest on Fish-Man Island, you can't even defeat a mere human. You are a disgrace to our Fish-Man race!"

"I'm fed up with your endless failures!"
