"Rubber Jet-Machine Gun!"

Da da da da da——

A dense barrage of scorching white fist imprints exploded across Enel! It was as if Luffy, who had been poised to throw a punch in front of him, had unleashed countless air Luffy out of thin air. However, this wasn't the case; it was simply because Luffy was too fast, making even his fists invisible!

The so-called "cannot see clearly" refers to "experts" like Roman, not ordinary people. Ordinary people would die before they even realize what's happening when facing Luffy!

?

Completely stunned, Enel's mind was filled with the philosophical questions. "Who am I? Where am I? Who's beating me up?" His towering frame was even sent tumbling into the Luffy by Luffy's enhanced "Gum- Gatling Gun" barrage! Until:

"Rubber Jet Rocket Launcher!"

Luffy clenched his hands into tiger claws, using the stretching ability of rubber to extend his arms backward and then suddenly retract them. The inhuman speed brought by Gear Second Gear instantly slammed into Enel's chest, sending this 'god' flying backward like a cannonball!

Boom boom boom!

Along the way, buildings and the earth, rocks and trees, were all instantly smashed through by Enel as he flew backward! He drew a straight 'line' on the battlefield.

?!

"That's impossible!"

Enel suddenly stood up from the ruins, wiping the blood from his mouth, his face contorted in disbelief.

"I am invincible, I am an omnipotent God—"

"Rubber Jet-Bullet!"

A fist rapidly enlarged in Enel's pupils and slammed into his face before he could react.

??!!

I don't care if you're a god or not!

"How dare you injure my comrade like that—"

Bang!

Another punch landed hard on Enel's stomach, almost making him spit out a mouthful of bile.

'Calm down,'

Enel, who was sent flying backward, finally came to his senses after being brutally beaten.

'Physical attacks are ineffective against me! Once I Elementalization, I have plenty of ways to deal with these monkeys—'

Snap!

A scorching hot fist slammed into Enel's face again, leaving his mind filled with a dense barrage of '???'.

Where's my Elementalization? Where's my invincible lightning form? I'm fucking—

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the absolute counter to Devil Fruit."

Roman, who was being protected by Nami behind him, shook his head with lingering fear. In this world, the Gum- Devil Fruit Counter the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and this counter is an 'absolute' attribute suppression!

Even lightning with hundreds of millions of volts can theoretically penetrate everything! But it can't hurt a single hair of the Rubber-Rubber Fruit. Not to mention lightning, the same principle applies to the massive amount of light and heat generated by lightning.

What's even more terrifying is that Luffy's Armament Haki is currently only at a level where he can only unleash it in a flash of inspiration, but the properties of the Rubber-Rubber Fruit have already given him the ability to forcefully attack Enel, Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

They're a perfect match!

Fortunately, the Devil Fruit user was "one of us," otherwise Roman couldn't even imagine the day his paper, wrapped in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, would be cut in two. —His expression probably wouldn't have been much better than Enel's current shock.

Crack!

Lightning isn't just for attacking. Enel, who had been thoroughly beaten, finally regained his senses. As he unleashed a barrage of tiny Lightning Flash, they instantly filled the battlefield, intertwining to form a leaping net of lightning!

Then, Enel used this lightning to propel himself forward at incredible speed—truly Wind-Driven Lightning fast! To others, it was just a flash of Electric Light before Enel escaped Luffy's pursuit, so fast that even his afterimage was barely visible.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"

Enel, nearly stunned by Luffy's combo punches, looked at the boy in front of him in a sorry state and had to admit that he had misjudged him.

"What the hell are you... you brat!"

Faced with Enel's questioning, Luffy, in a very 'pirate spirit' manner, paused his attack.

"My name is Luffy, I'm a pirate... and Rubber Human."

"Rubber?"

What the hell is that?!

Enel knew, of course, that the other party was a Paramecia Devil Fruit user, but what is rubber... wait, to put it bluntly, he's just a Paramecia user. No matter what kind of substance rubber is, he must have a weakness!

Call out--!

Before Enel could come up with a solution, Luffy, in Gear Second Gear, had already charged towards him at high speed again, his steaming red fists already proving their power.

"Mantra!"

Forcing himself to calm down, Enel immediately unleashed his Observation Haki, searching for attack routes and openings in Luffy's swift, lightning-fast punches, while simultaneously countering with his own attacks! However:

Luffy is a skilled fighter trained by Garp since childhood! Enel... a mage accustomed to ranged lightning attacks switching to melee combat is a tragedy. —If it weren't for his abnormal resilience, he would have been knocked to the ground by Luffy's flurry of punches long ago!

Thud! Thud!

No, this can't go on.

After taking two more punches, Enel had to abandon his idea of teaching this arrogant Blue Sea monkey a lesson with his fists. Instead, he used the lightning barrier he had set up around him to extricate himself and fly away.

Damn it, if I still had my weapon, I could have used other methods to find out this guy's weakness... Oh, so that kid playing with paper deliberately stole my weapon?

Enel suddenly turned to look at Roman beside him, only to see the other party 'friendly' waving at him.

It really was that guy...

Etc!

Since the person playing with paper over there is this 'rubber' kid's companion, we can definitely 'sound' his weaknesses from him...

Enel used the surrounding lightning to propel Roman away at high speed, while simultaneously focusing his mind and unleashing his full power to activate his Mantra, enveloping Roman. What he heard was:

'This is a sure win!'

'Lie down and win...'

'AFK (away from keyboard) watching the show and waiting to surrender—'

???

Damn it, what gave you the courage to think I'm doomed?!

Distracted, Enel didn't have time to dodge and was suddenly grabbed by the neck by an arm that reached out, and then:

"Rubber Jet Pistol!"

Puff!

Enel was sent flying by another punch and was bleeding profusely, rolled several times to dodge Luffy's follow-up attacks and wiped his mouth hard.

"Thinking about it carefully... I don't need to compete with you at all."

Unarmed and facing this 'rubber' monkey who remained unscathed from his proud lightning attacks, Enel decided to make a strategic retreat first. Anyway:

"Once I launch the Ark Maxim, I'll blast you and this wretched island into the Blue Sea. — As long as you're not around, I'm invincible!"

Crackling sounds

In Electric Light, Enel teleported away!

The opponent is using an invincible cheat; all my attacks are useless. If I don't run, I'm going to get wrecked!

As a 'rational' god, Enel's decision was extremely wise. —How many bosses couldn't swallow their pride and insisted on Luffy, only to be dragged down and killed?

"He got away, Luffy, chase after him!"

Faced with Nami's shout, Luffy, who had just been displaying his might, stood still, his red skin and rising steam gradually disappearing.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted."

Snap,

He plopped down on the ground, Luffy Guotou, and looked completely exhausted, as if he had just run 30,000 meters and done over a thousand push-ups while wearing Seastone bracer.

To put it more bluntly, it looks like he hasn't eaten for three days.

"Roman ~~~"

"Learn."

Having regained some strength, Roman opened his palm, and a piece of paper with a huge mouth resembling Iron Barrel appeared. Then, the huge mouth in the picture spat out.

Large chunks of meat, large barrels of wine.

Since boarding the ship, Roman has always carried these special items that can 'replenish' Luffy's health.

Click, click, click!

Ton ton ton~~

"Great, I'm back to life!"

"Watch out, Luffy."

Seeing Luffy, who had just finished a hearty meal and was now jumping up, full of energy and ready to settle Luffy with Enel, Roman had to remind him.

"Although the thin air at high altitudes actually Second Gear the strain on your body compared to below, but—"

"Hehehe,"

In response to Roman's admonition, Luffy simply smiled.

"Roman, when you face an enemy, do you not give it your all?"

······

"Understood."

Splash splash~~

Sheets of white paper flew out from Roman's body and formed a large bird.

"That guy has already started taking off."

Not far away, a colossal spaceship crafted from gold was slowly ascending into the air. At the same time, thick smoke billowed from its 'chimneys'—of course, it wasn't smoke at all, but rather thunderclouds created by Enel's powers!

"Let me see you off, Luffy."

"Oh! Thanks, Roman— "
