Background / History
Enel ruled Skypiea as its god, treating its inhabitants as mortals beneath him. His principal ambition was to reach Fairy Vearth—the “boundless earth,” identified as the moon—and he regarded Skypiea’s internal conflicts as insignificant beside that goal. 21 25 26
When Lu Zhuo, Nami, and Robin entered Skypiea and Lu Zhuo proclaimed himself the Sword God, Enel ordered his four priests to subject the intruders to the Ordeal of God. Lu Zhuo instead killed Shura, Ohm, Satori, and Genbo before seeking Enel directly. 21 23
Enel’s first battle with Lu Zhuo ended in a truce after their strongest attacks neutralized one another. Recognizing Lu Zhuo as an equal rather than a mere mortal, Enel accepted Lu Zhuo’s temporary stay on Skypiea after Lu Zhuo promised not to interfere with his plans. 25
Later, Enel invited Lu Zhuo to join his journey to the moon, but Lu Zhuo refused. Over the following nearly three months, Lu Zhuo repeatedly challenged Enel and used their battles to temper his body, improve his swordsmanship, and study Haki. 26 30
In their final documented battle, Enel used three hundred million volts and assumed his Thunder God form. Lu Zhuo used Geppo to reach him in the air and defeated him with Void-Severing Flash, leaving Enel covered in blade marks. Lu Zhuo told him that the world was far larger than Skypiea and urged him to become the strongest god in his own way before departing. 31
Personality
Enel is intensely proud and initially views other people as “humble mortals” or “ants.” His godhood is not merely ceremonial: he expects absolute deference, responds harshly to challenges, and considers the lives and struggles of Skypiea’s inhabitants beneath his concern. 24 26
His arrogance changes when confronted by comparable strength. After Lu Zhuo withstands and extinguishes the Thunder Dragon, Enel recognizes him as a fellow god-like existence and chooses negotiation over a mutually destructive battle. 25
Enel is also driven by ambition. His desire to reach the moon remains central even after Lu Zhuo rejects his invitation, while his defeat forces him to acknowledge that Skypiea is only a small part of a far wider world. 26 31
