Enel took the lead and landed in Mock Town.

The reason was simple: he sensed that a large number of 'ordinary people' were active in this town on the island.

It is the most bustling and most concentrated area.

Only a day had passed, and the town was still deserted... but news of the Hell Pirates' settlement had already spread.

Swoosh.

Enel sat atop his Golden Staff, glanced down at the ground and the buildings and shops lining the street, then vanished in a flash of lightning. A mere dozen seconds later, he reappeared in the same spot, as if he had never left. Indeed, in that short time, he had used his lightning-fast speed to explore every inch of Jaya Island.

"This... is Blue Sea."

It was indeed filthy.

Enel actually harbored a certain curiosity about the Blue Sea.

His curiosity stemmed primarily from Oboro... This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful 'mortal.' Although he was willing to consider the other as one of his own, Oboro's words still piqued his interest. In the Blue Sea ... there was someone stronger than that man? Sizzle

A burst of blue light exploded in the air, and the next second, Enel appeared in a tavern.

This little shop is where Oboro and his companions encountered Blackbeard.

The holes in the broken walls of the tavern had been simply filled in. The owner was wiping the table with a rag, completely unaware that a man wearing a white headscarf was now sitting on the counter, resting his chin on his hand, surveying the room... Finally, his gaze settled on the several wanted posters pasted on the wall.

Enel smacked his lips, a sound that startled the shopkeeper who was cleaning up, causing him to turn around abruptly.

That's when I saw him.

"Do you know this person?" Enel tore off a wanted poster, pointed to the person in the photo, and asked the boss.

Enel's cold and sinister gaze made the tavern owner forget his panic and quickly nod.

One Piece frequently visit Mock Town, and with the boss's keen eye, he can tell who is easy to mess with and who is not.

The person in front of us is clearly very dangerous.

"The Hell King... the captain of the Hell Pirates, and also the infamous God Slayer," the middle-aged man swallowed hard before replying.

God Slayer? "Hmph."

Enel gave a cold laugh.

He didn't know much about the Hell Pirates, only a few names. As for their origins and background, to be honest... Enel wasn't too concerned. However, it seemed... this group of One Piece was somewhat famous in the Blue Sea.

"Then, as far as you know, how many people in this world are more capable than him?"

Enel asked again.

"I... I... I..."

The boss started stammering.

"It's okay... just say it, think it over before you answer."

Enel twitched his fingers, and wisps of electricity crackled from his fingertips.

Upon seeing this, the boss broke out in a cold sweat.

After a long pause, he said, "The God Slayer... has always been very mysterious. Outsiders have no idea just how strong he is. Although his bounty is relatively low, he is considered one of the most dangerous people by the current World Government... Moreover, the Hell Pirates, under his leadership, have committed several shocking acts that have shaken the seas. In addition to killing Celestial Dragons, there was also the recent Twin Cape War, which even alarmed the Yonko... The World Government and the Navy have laid a tight net, but they still haven't been able to capture him."

"So... it's hard to judge his strength. I'm just a tavern owner. Although I used to be One Piece, I haven't been on the sea for a long time. If you're talking about people stronger than him... the only ones I can think of are probably those few in the New World... the Yonko."

"However, the God Slayer's reputation is now comparable to that of the Yonko. I just think that given the level of the Yonko, there's a good chance he could surpass him..."

"The Yonko?"

The boss didn't even blink before the man sitting on the counter disappeared.

Conversely, the other party miraculously 'floated' above his head, a mocking expression on his face, "Oh? A guy even he can't beat... Interesting."

"Tell me about these Yonko."

"Yes."

A dozen minutes later, Oboro and his group followed the scent to the tavern.

Upon entering, one sees the boss kneeling on the ground, speaking to Enel in a very humble manner.

Enel, on the other hand, had a thoughtful expression.

"Hey, I've made up my mind..."

Enel had already sensed Oboro's arrival.

Upon seeing him enter the room, he immediately said, "I'm going to the New World... to take down those Yonko."

"..."

Such arrogant words immediately made Dom raise a cold laugh.

Rob Lucci and Dorans looked at him as if he were an 'idiot'.

How can you still have the nerve to say such things when you've already lost to the captain?

Enel's face darkened at the reactions of the other members, and he was somewhat annoyed... However, he didn't dare to make a move, but only said with a cold and arrogant expression, "As long as you learn your kind of power... that's Haki! I will be invincible in this world."

"Ah! I wish I could be as confident as you."

Kaka whistled, clapped, and laughed.

I don't know if those words were sarcastic or genuine admiration.

When the boss saw the Hell Pirates again, his mind went completely blank.

He thought the group had already left...

Oboro waved his hand, indicating that the boss could leave first, before looking at Enel. "Don't rush... Here's what we're going to do next. This operation will be carried out by you alone... Of course, you can bring the other two along. As for the others, including myself, we won't interfere or meddle at all." Oboro pointed to Gedatsu and Satori.

"If you complete this task on your own, I'll immediately teach you how to cultivate Haki, how about it?"

Long found a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs. "Besides, this mission is very simple for you, and there's not a single tedious thing about it."

"It's murder."

"Hehehe..."

Enel laughed upon hearing this.

"Using this trick on me? Do you think..."

Before he could finish speaking, Long interrupted, "Well... it's a straightforward test. You're a god... although it might seem a bit 'insulting' to you, I'm certain you can't complete it. Besides, I'm not trying to provoke you, I'm just stating a fact."

Enel, seeing that he was being looked down upon, became uncontrollably ferocious.

He really wanted to say that just because he beat him once, Oboro could give orders... but in the end, he held back his words.

Because the truth is, this man could indeed beat him a second time, a third time, and even kill him easily... simply because the other party was Haki.

Enel was not convinced of his defeat to Oboro... He felt that if he mastered Haki, even Oboro would have to submit to him.

"Can."

Enel squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

"Well then... let's not delay, let's go."

"Go early, maybe you can make it in time; if you go late, I'm afraid I'll miss out on the fun."

Having received a reply, Long immediately got up and led a group of people out of the shop.
