Fated Showdown (3)

The entire Straw Hat Pirates were suffocating.

This was a situation they hadn't anticipated.

The long-eared man's abilities were somewhat extraordinary.

Even... it's crushing.

"Luffy..."

Nami reached out her hand to Luffy not far away.

"Ahhh!"

But the next second, dense bolts of electricity covered Nami's entire body, and the intense pain immediately caused the woman to scream.

Blood spurted from the skin.

"Nami!!!"

Luffy's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was filled with rage.

It's too late...

Then, Usopp, who was standing next door, also suffered a terrible electric shock.

He fell backward.

Enel, surrounded by lightning, saw the Straw Hats' furious expressions and said in a nonchalant tone, "Don't be nervous, I didn't kill them... they're still alive."

"I've made up my mind. How can I let you die so easily?"

"I'm going to torture you properly, make you feel pain... feel fear towards me."

"I'll show you the consequences of angering me. I'll make sure your companions are tortured to death one by one in front of you, and you... are powerless to do anything about it."

"This... is my will as a god to rule this world!"

Hahahaha!

The more pained Luffy and his crew looked, the happier Enel seemed to become, and he burst into laughter.

Bang! Before the laughter could subside, his pupils contracted as Luffy's outstretched fist slammed into his face.

This One-Punch Man was powerful and heavy, with considerable destructive force.

Judging from Enel's surprised expression, he had no idea he would be hit.

Enel spun around and flew away, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth and red marks left on his face.

"Am I injured?"

"I got hit?"

Enel instantly teleported, his expression blank.

Somewhat unbelievable.

What's going on?...

"They took down three in one go... but those three didn't seem to be that strong."

"In my opinion, it really won't take five minutes."

"However, this guy... is obviously deliberately leaving them alive, probably wanting to tease the Straw Hats a little bit... what a twisted sense of humor."

"That suits his style."

"I noticed it a long time ago; this guy has a rather cunning personality..."

Dorans and his companions looked at the battlefield and discussed among themselves.

"Idiot."

Dom coldly uttered two words.

Showing mercy to an enemy just for a moment of pleasure... that's not a good thing.

Since it's a fight to the death, we should swiftly and decisively eliminate the opposing team's members, instead of approaching the battle with a playful attitude. Dom despises Enel's actions... Oboro is right. If such a person doesn't change completely, even with great strength, he will never become a true powerhouse on the sea.

That's a bit too arrogant.

Boom! On the battlefield, towering waves of sand surged up, and the battle gradually intensified.

The range and power of the lightning released by Enel also grew larger and larger.

Long sat calmly on the sand dune, his eyes reflecting the figures of the people fighting.

We've already... lost.

Dom is absolutely right. Enel's failure to kill Nami and the others immediately was a major blunder. Furthermore, his mindset was flawed. Enel believed he could control the situation, so when Luffy One-Punch Man, he panicked, his anger clouded his judgment, and he focused solely on eliminating the Straw Hats, neglecting the others. He lacked any battle plan and any keen insight into the situation.

Unfortunately, Luffy he wanted to deal with, was the most difficult to defeat.

This bought the Straw Hat Pirates a lot of time, especially for Zoro and Sanji, allowing them to gradually adapt to Enel's abilities and resistance to lightning.

Don't underestimate Zoro and Sanji's talent. This is the main character group. The growth potential of any one of them, even if it's just learning from experience on the spot, is absolutely 'monster-like'.

The experience card was enough for Enel to 'assess' his current situation, to know who to attack first and how to win... but his mentality was already unbalanced. Even if he knew how to win, he would act on his impulses and not choose the right way to win.

To satisfy oneself with a distorted attitude.

Therefore, if you don't have the right mindset, no matter how much power you give him, it won't be of any use.

When Oboro said that Enel couldn't beat Luffy, he was referring to their strength, not their methods.

If it were anyone behind him, even Dorans... taking down the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't be difficult.

The simplest way is to use hostages as a threat... enough to Luffy and his two companions 'tired'.

Boom boom boom.

Ahead, on the sandy ground, thunder rumbled and a sea of light overflowed.

Enel's terrifying power was no less than when he beat Enel up on Skypiea, but strangely... he was unable to eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates' three main combatants.

This left both Dorans and Kaka somewhat dumbfounded.

Zoro and Sanji were covered in blood, and given Enel's abilities, their attacks were practically ineffective, making it difficult for them to even get close to their target. Luffy was mainly responsible for Luffy for time. However, even with their weak attacks, they could still pose a certain degree of 'danger' to Enel.

The two fell to the ground again and again, only to get up again and again...

This scene made the Hell Pirates' hearts race wildly.

They're practically indestructible.

"Glug."

Dorans swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and exclaimed in horror, "Have you noticed that the Straw Hat seems unaffected by lightning... Enel's attacks have absolutely no effect on him."

"It's not Haki."

"A Devil Fruit ability? He seems to be Gum-Gum Fruit user..."

"It wasn't ineffective; it was effective. The Straw Hat suffered the most damage and pain of the three... He absorbed almost all the direct attacks by himself. It's just that his endurance is amazing, so it didn't seem too serious. Of course, he does have considerable resistance to lightning... If he hadn't been keeping Enel occupied, the other two would have been dead long ago."

Rob Lucci said.

The group exchanged glances and all noticed that Enel was acting strangely.

That straw hat acted like a magnet, inexplicably drawing Enel's attention and mind to itself.

Enel himself was completely unaware of this.

Long raised her hand to press down her hat, turning her gaze away.

I'm not going to watch any further.

"Ah."

As the captain got up to leave, Dorans suddenly realized, "I know, this straw hat is one of the people the captain mentioned earlier who could teach Enel a lesson and make him remember his mistake."

"You're only just realizing this now..."

Kaka couldn't help but complain.

"..."

Dorans.

Swoosh.

After getting up, Long's figure flickered and disappeared.

Where is the captain?

There are rats.

Yurivich, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

It is also located in another sand dune area, which is very far away.

On the opposite side of the battlefield.

The wind whipped up sand and gravel, causing Crocodile's Crocodile to billow as he sipped his cigar.

His gaze remained fixed on the battle in the distance.

Suddenly, he glanced to the side.

A 'guest' who was both strange and familiar appeared.

There was no surprise on the Crocodile's face.

They seemed to be waiting for each other as well.

"That Doflamingo guy... he was right after all."

"However, I'm not as easy to talk to as he is... God Slayer, Oboro."

Oboro put his hands in his pockets, raised his head from his lowered position, and smiled.

He walked up to Crocodile and stood beside him, looking straight ahead. "So, how was this battle...?"
