If We Can't Communicate Properly, Then...
Offal?
How arrogant...
From Oboro's perspective and experience, Enel was no different from a child.
In fact, in his eyes, no character in the current One Piece world is distinguished by age or gender.
If you really want to calculate his age... he doesn't even know how long his soul has lived.
"I am a One Piece."
Long wasn't angry; he spoke calmly.
"I heard there is a God here... so I wanted to come and see for myself."
"After meeting you, I made up my mind... Would you be interested in coming to the Blue Sea with me?"
"Blue Sea? To become One Piece?"
Enel lowered his head, as if deep in thought.
"Yes."
"Yay! Hahahaha..."
But the next second, this guy suddenly burst into laughter, laughing very exaggeratedly.
Then suddenly the laughter stopped, and his expression turned cold.
"You don't seem to realize your own identity yet?"
"What we call gods... to you mortals, they simply represent fear itself..."
"You must understand that when you speak to me, every word you utter must be prefixed with pleading and supplication."
He murmured a few words to Oboro's profile, and then his hand, which was resting on Oboro's chest, suddenly crackled with electricity and shot out in all directions.
A terrifying and swift bolt of lightning instantly enveloped Lu's entire body.
It felt like I was going to burn him to a crisp.
"Don't be so cold... You've been here quite a while, haven't you? Stop dreaming about your unrealistic dreams, landing on the moon? There's nothing on the moon... not even your homeland, just a desolate wasteland." Enel naturally didn't want to kill the intruder immediately, but the Devil Fruit power he unleashed was enough to inflict intense pain and render him temporarily immobile, while retaining his consciousness. Normally, what he should be hearing now is the screams of the man in the suit before him, along with his convulsing, trembling limbs.
But... he saw that the man continued to speak slowly and deliberately, seemingly oblivious to the electric shocks covering his body.
"..."
Enel was stunned when he saw this scene for the first time.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that... when the electric shock 'struck' the man's body, the man's entire body was covered with a layer of black metallic substance, and even his clothes were well protected, completely unaffected by the electric current.
"Blue Sea is far more interesting than you think... There are plenty of people there who are stronger than you."
"Since you call yourself a god, you should naturally be the most powerful being in the world, not hiding in a place like this, deceiving yourself... right?"
"Go to the Blue Sea... to prove myself."
Enel couldn't hear a word of Oboro's words; his mind was completely blank.
The only thought was... how could his proud power... have failed?
"You've got some skills, you piece of trash."
Enel's face darkened, and when he looked up again, his eyes were bloodshot. He didn't understand what Oboro was talking about, but he was incredibly angry at the guy's attitude and tone! That indifference, that calmness... completely lacking the fear and awe one would feel when facing a god. Most importantly... he wanted him to become One Piece?
Are you kidding me? He's a god!
Abandoning his divine status to become One Piece... scum! As for Oboro mentioning his long-prepared plans and dreams, he subconsciously 'blocked' them out; he was now completely controlled by his emotions.
"How about this?"
Enel revealed a cruel smile.
Without letting go of Long's arm, as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them were instantly engulfed by a blinding white light. This was a phenomenon caused by the excessive density of lightning, and the temperature of the surrounding air also rose instantly. Large amounts of dust and gravel on the ground were suspended in the air, forming a strange magnetic field.
A dozen seconds later, streaks of electric arcs crisscrossed the scorching air.
They gradually dispersed.
The air around the two of them was distorting and casting shadows due to the high temperature...
The straight ground below was burned into red soil, creating a striking pit.
The bottom of the pit contained liquid mixed with flowing 'molten lava'.
Enel's eyes were wide open in anger, his eyeballs were already bloodshot and crimson.
Because... the man beside her was still unharmed.
"Can we... talk now?"
Oboro gazed at Enel's distorted face and said softly.
Whoosh! However, how could someone whose mind was already clouded by rage possibly calm down?
Enel was able to levitate because he used his Devil Fruit power, standing on the Golden Staff... Guided by electricity and magnetic fields, he could also 'fly'. But at this moment, the Golden Staff beneath his feet had disappeared under the cover of the previous attack.
The golden staff, heated and burned by electricity, turned into a liquid and then solidified again... becoming an exaggeratedly sharp spear.
Moreover, he can control the weapon using electric current without holding it, which is somewhat like telekinesis.
"Go to hell!"
Enel laughed gleefully.
Although he looks very 'Buddhist' and has a kind face.
In reality, his true nature is not only cruel... but also insidious.
Even if he could withstand the electric current, he didn't believe the other party could withstand the physical damage caused by the object! Especially in this seemingly relaxed moment after the attack, it was bound to be the man's most careless moment, which was hard to predict.
The golden spear, enhanced by lightning, shot out from behind the two like a fleeting golden rainbow, about to pierce Oboro's back and abdomen.
Enel's hand was also 'suppressing' the man to prevent him from dodging or shifting.
To the former, this would be a beautiful scene of a fatal blow...
Bang! But soon, Enel's pupils dilated.
He heard a loud bang, and without turning his head, the Mantra's ability sent back information.
The golden spear stopped flying two meters behind them... The spear seemed to have hit something, and the entire weapon was trembling violently.
"Sigh... I still have to take action..."
Long sighed softly.
His sigh didn't mean he didn't want to do it, but rather that his words implied he was going to kill Enel.
Just like you would treat the Shiki.
Oboro felt it was a pity that the Shiki couldn't board the ship.
Therefore, he held a degree of tolerance towards Enel.
However, like Shiki, their personalities are too distinct... making them difficult to change.
Even someone like Enel, who wanted to have a calm and peaceful conversation with the other party, couldn't manage it.
Enel... is a candidate in the Oboro Project to become the first mate of the Emperor on his ship... but only if the other party can join.
If we really can't reach an agreement, then... we'll have no choice but to kill him.
After all, he is a valuable resource point for the system.
Enel's alertness and spontaneous mastery of Mantra demonstrate his exceptional talent in Observation Haki Haki. Furthermore, the advantages of his Devil Fruit ability also play a role... Lightning itself can create magnetic fields and exchange signals, covering a vast area.
Therefore, upon hearing Oboro's sigh, his body instinctively transformed into its elemental form, preparing to flee far away...
He was particularly confident in his speed.
But... he was facing Oboro, and... a power he didn't understand.
An indescribable aura suddenly erupted from the man's body.
A volcano that is close to erupting.
The sheer impact and pressure caused Enel's elemental transformation process to slow down abruptly.
He was like a small boat in a raging storm, his body and soul being battered by invisible waves.
Then, a large hand with five fingers crackling with unique black lightning gripped his face like an iron clamp.
"Huh?"
It wasn't until this moment that Enel realized what was going on.
His Mantra... has failed.
