Devil Fruit abilities naturally countered one another, especially when there were so-called scientific principles to back them up.
Because Luffy's Rubber Fruit possessed the concept of an "insulator," he did not even need Haki to beat Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit senseless.
One had to know that the electrothermal energy produced by Enel's lightning could easily melt even gold, whose melting point was 1064.18 degrees Celsius, yet it could do absolutely nothing to Luffy's rubber body.
That was the Devil Fruit countering effect: it sounded vaguely scientific, but was actually completely unscientific.
However, Devil Fruits were rare to begin with, and the chances of two users with mutually countering abilities meeting were even rarer. Such situations hardly ever occurred.

When he saw the blazing white lightning around Garen and Enel, he merely instinctively felt that they would be troublesome. He had no intention of turning around and fleeing.
Seeing Tezoro behave like this, Garen felt that it saved him quite a bit of effort.
"Move!"
Garen gave Enel beside him a quiet shout, then charged toward the Golden Giant.
Lightning flashed around Enel, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a thunder serpent that followed closely behind Garen.

Though Tezoro had not considered any scientific principles behind it, he could still sense the obvious elemental transformation ability on Enel.
For a major figure who ruled the New World, a Logia was not some astonishing power.
So, Tezoro felt
