293 Enel's Courage

"Good, so strong." Watching the two sides clash, the members of the Night Pirates were relentlessly slaughtering these God Guards.

The two originally arrogant High Priest were also suppressed by the two powerful Blue Sea People, constantly retreating, seemingly without even the ability to resist.

Moreover, those two young Blue Sea People seemed to possess peculiar abilities. These two were none other than Pito and Kaguya. Pito's ghostly figure and sharp, deadly claws nearly killed one of the High Priest several times, narrowly avoiding fatal blows.

Kaguya's attacks were relentless, wielding a bone sword in each hand, giving the High Priest no chance to retaliate.

It's clear that the two High Priest couldn't hold out for long, and that Pito and Kaguya weren't using their full strength.

These two Blue Sea People were very young, possibly even younger than him, yet their strength was so formidable that it had a tremendous impact on Enel's mind.

One after another, the God Guard fell, turning into corpses, their screams echoing endlessly.

Moreover, most of the Night Pirates' officers didn't make a move, just stood there quietly. Only Kos occasionally fired to provide cover, and Nelson occasionally used his abilities.

Enel also sensed that those Blue Sea People who were still standing still and hadn't moved much were all incredibly powerful. It was his intuition; although he hadn't Awakening Observation Haki yet, he was naturally very talented in it.

If these stronger Blue Sea People were to join the fight, their combined power might be so great that even the gods might be powerless against them.

This scene of relentless slaughter made Enel's body tremble with excitement. These Blue Sea People were up to no good and would definitely cause a huge impact on the temple, or rather, the impact had already begun, because most of the temple's power was here, and that power was about to be destroyed.

This was something Enel had never imagined. The reason a god is a god is because he possesses divine, invincible power.

What will happen to the temple next? Will it be destroyed?

Enel couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation about this. At the same time, his experiences and encounters in Birka over the years had left him with no goodwill towards the kingdom. A deep-seated hatred had been accumulating in his heart, and one day it would erupt.

The destruction of the temple was something he would never have dared to imagine before, because the temple's power was simply too great for him to accomplish alone.

He has half Blue Sea People blood in his body, which is why his bloodline is impure and he cannot grow wings. Although wings are useless, Skypieans. In addition, the Birka Kingdom is very xenophobic, so he is rejected by other Birka people.

Because of this, Enel felt somewhat alienated from his Skypieans identity, but instead felt a sense of kinship and identification with these Blue Sea People.

Furthermore, each of these Blue Sea People was incredibly powerful, even stronger than him, easily overwhelming these God Guards. He desperately craved such power and wanted to become that strong as well.

Having witnessed immense power, Enel truly understood that strength is fundamental. With power, one can do whatever one wants, transforming from the weak into the strong, from the bullied into the one who decides the fate of others.

Enel's body trembled slightly, as if he wanted to move. He clenched his fists tightly and stared intently at everything on the battlefield. To those around him, it was hard to tell whether he was afraid or excited.

Aside from the Night Pirates and the God Guard, there was hardly anyone else left in the village. Especially after the members of the Night Pirates began their frenzied killing spree, the residents of Birka began to evacuate, fleeing as fast as they could.

Enel was left behind; Om and the other companions had also left, which Enel understood.

Enel had witnessed the bloody battlefield, the overwhelming power, and the ease with which they faced the weak.

The two High Priest, one had his Pito, his body covered in wounds, the other had a sharp bone knife pierce his heart, a fatal blow.

The deaths of the two High Priest caused the battle lines to completely collapse. However, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. The members of the Night Pirates had surrounded them all, like a large, woven net, and it was time to close it in.

This is an absolute difference in strength. Moreover, these God Guards are not very strong to begin with. Although Sky Shell poses some threat, these threats can be avoided.

Even if hit, it won't cause fatal damage.

The battle came to a close, ending in victory for the Night Pirates. This was not unexpected; for Teach and his crew, it was merely a warm-up battle.

Corpses littered the ground, their blood staining the cloud-like surface beneath their feet crimson.

More than two thousand people, not a single survivor. Surrounded by blood and corpses, the Night Pirates were like demons from hell. They were used to such scenes, whether in numerous large-scale wars or during their training on Beast Island. They felt no aversion to such scenes, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

But Enel, who was watching from afar, was different. He had never experienced anything like this before. So many deaths, bloodshed, and slaughter were impacting his mind.

He was always just an ordinary person. Before, the special atmosphere on the battlefield had suppressed his instincts with certain excitement, but now, with the end of the war, that excitement was slowly fading away.

He slowly came to his senses, and a strong wave of negative emotions surged up in his heart. Enel's pupils contracted, and he held his breath, as if he was enduring something.

However, images of the battlefield kept flashing through his mind—the bloodshed, the pain, even the tyranny, the slaughter, and the death.

These images kept appearing before his eyes, flashing through his pupils.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer; his body trembled, and he grabbed the wall beside him with one hand.

"Ah!" Enel opened his mouth, bent over, and held onto the wall with one hand, vomiting directly.

In an instant, he felt dizzy and slowly regained his senses. Enel felt his body was cold and his whole body stiffened.

What is he doing? Watching the battle from the battlefield like this, is he courting death? These Blue Sea People are not to be trifled with. Corpses flash before his eyes, but he doesn't want to die yet.

It was terrifying. When he came to his senses, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. His initial excitement vanished completely, and unlike before, his body trembled with fear.

At this moment, apart from these Blue Sea People, it seemed that he was the only one left in the entire village. He wanted to leave, but he felt weak all over, his legs felt shaky, and he was frightened.

Finally, he recovered somewhat and felt some strength returning to his body. Enel took a step forward, supporting himself against the wall with one hand, and walked laboriously into the distance.

He felt much better after vomiting, gradually recovered, and felt stronger.

After walking a dozen steps away from the Blue Sea People, Enel stopped for some reason.

Enel's mind flashed back to his life from childhood to adulthood, the scenes of being bullied, his helplessness and inability to fight back, and the inexplicable targeting he had received a few days ago.

Thinking this, a surge of anger and hatred rose in his heart, a hatred directed at the temple and even the residents of Birka.

However, his hatred isn't as deep now.

Only after a period of accumulation, and even after experiencing Cloud Floating Flow's exile and near death, would he truly have the idea of destroying Birka.

He was somewhat unwilling, knowing that he couldn't continue like this, nor did he want to continue like this.

Enel wanted to change his fate.

Now, his opportunity has arrived, and he feels a stirring in his heart towards these powerful Blue Sea People.

Although he hadn't seen many Blue Sea People, he could tell from those flags that these Blue Sea People were pirates. Even though they were on Sky Island, he had some knowledge of pirates.

He wanted to become stronger; he wanted to join them. By joining them, he believed he could become even stronger, a powerful individual with greater strength.

He wanted to gamble, to gamble that this was an opportunity to change his destiny.

A surge of courage rose within him, and he suppressed his fear, turned around, and walked towards the Blue Sea People, emerging from a hidden corner.

For some reason, he suddenly stopped being nervous and felt his body filled with strength.

Many members of the Night Pirates could sense Enel's presence, but they didn't care. They weren't indiscriminate killers; their brutal killings were always directed at their enemies.

Just like the navy, if you consider them your enemy, you will never hold back.

To their surprise, Enel, who had left, returned.

The foundation of Observation Haki is enhancing one's five senses to predict an opponent's attack. A further step is sensing aura, and an even further step is sensing the emotions of others.

However, they are not ranked in terms of superiority or inferiority; they are multifaceted. The ultimate form of prediction is Future Sight, and the ultimate form of emotional perception is perceiving good and evil.

Observation Haki is incredibly powerful, capable of developing in multiple directions.

However, there weren't many people on the ship who could sense emotions, but they were all very curious about this person and showed great interest in him.

The main point is Enel's emotional reversal in a short period of time, as if he had undergone a metamorphosis.

They were very young, and it was clear that their strength was not great for them. However, while everyone else had already fled, they stayed behind alone to watch the battle.

Deep down, he was still filled with passion, and faced with this scene, he was surprisingly excited and thrilled, though hidden within him was a sense of hatred and anger.

The fear and dread that followed the battle, and then the courage that was later mustered.

More importantly, one can sense a deep longing within him, an extremely strong desire for power, and his courage in facing them is commendable.

Enel emerged from behind the house, taking firm steps, inhaling deeply, and slowly approaching Teach and the others.

The moment Enel appeared, many people noticed him. None of them possessed Observation Haki Enel, and they couldn't help but look at the person who was walking towards them with curiosity.

What's particularly striking is that this person doesn't have the small wings typical of Skypieans; could he come from the sea?

However, what's amusing is that this person is covered in white bandages, and his gait is unsteady and uncoordinated, indicating that he has suffered some injuries.

Teach's eyes flickered, but no one noticed that Teach saw the person's long earlobes that reached his chest, his somewhat childish face, and a white headscarf tied around his head.

This appearance made Teach somewhat guess his identity: Enel, the future God of Thunder, the Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Based on his age, Enel should only be sixteen years old now, and this appearance is just right.

Looking at Enel 'Enel injuries, although they weren't serious, it was clear how they were caused. His arms, legs, and back showed signs of being surrounded and beaten by several people.

Looking at Enel and sensing the emotions deep within him, it's clear that Enel's hatred for Birka has accumulated to a certain degree, but it hasn't reached the point where he wants to destroy Birka.

However, there isn't much time left. It's certain that Enel hasn't eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit yet. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit isn't in Birka, which means it's hidden in a sea of clouds, not far from Birka Island.

It is highly likely that Enel encountered it in the sea of clouds when he was being exiled to Cloud Floating Flow after being sentenced to death.

Teach's Observation Haki expanded continuously, extending over a hundred kilometers outwards from him to the surrounding area of Birka Island. Finally, Observation Haki discovered a place where the Rumble-Rumble Fruit might exist. Due to the distance, he couldn't accurately visualize it in three dimensions, but he could roughly sense that it was a huge object, likely a ship, resting on an Island Cloud.

However, with Teach's Observation Haki, he has only just touched the edge of space, and there is still a long way to go before he can sense meteorites. This also shows how wide Fujitora Issho's Observation Haki range will be in the future.

Furthermore, Enel will have more than a decade to destroy Birka. It's impossible for him to destroy Birka immediately after eating Devil Fruit. It will definitely take several years, or even a decade, to develop Birka's strength. Snape is not weak, Enel also needs time to improve his own strength.

Furthermore, when Enel arrived at Angel Island, he wasn't alone; he brought a group of his subordinates. It can be predicted that during that time, Birka Island was definitely divided in two, becoming a period of struggle between Enel and Birka. Enel was in a weaker position or kept a low profile until he developed most of the potential of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and then destroyed Birka with absolute power.
