Subduing Enel

"Let's start by clearing about six or seven years of memories!"

Dongye Huanglong said to Vegapunk and Kuma. Enel had already ruled Sky Island for four years. Two years before he came to Sky Island, he had destroyed his hometown, Bika.

His cruel nature had likely become even more savage and inhumane after destroying Bika.

He wondered if he could subdue Enel with his previous personality.

"Alright."

Vegapunk forcibly placed a special device connected to numerous tubes onto Enel's head.

"The Paw-Paw Fruit can quantify conceptual memories, making it easier to grasp the time period to be cleared,"

Vegapunk explained, sticking out his tongue. He greatly admired Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, which could materialize things that science couldn't explain.

As the special machine activated, combined with Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, a bear-paw-shaped memory cluster was extracted from Enel's head.

The cursing Enel immediately quieted down, but he still glared fiercely at the group.

"This memory cluster will disappear forever if anyone looks at it and it breaks,"

Vegapunk and Kuma explained. The principle was the same as the pain and illness Kuma extracted through his healing ability; someone had to bear it.

"I'll do it. Let me see what this guy has been up to for the past six or seven years."

Dongye Huanglong reached into the bear-paw-shaped memory, and a flood of memories surged into him.

Like watching a movie, he rapidly browsed through Enel's deeply ingrained major events, witnessing his destruction of Bika, his wanton destruction of small Sky Islands near Bika, his subjugation of the four Priests and their Divine Soldiers, and his eventual arrival at the divine kingdom.

Enel easily defeated the divine kingdom's God, Gan Fall, becoming the new God, and occupied Aphelandra, the land with soil. He loved the apples that grew on this land the most.

Next, he suppressed the Shandians and the people of Angel Island, took over Aphelandra, and made apples his favorite.

Here, he found the blueprints for the Ark Maxim, learned that a ship could be built with gold and lightning, and discovered the existence of the Infinite Earth.

From then on, sailing the Ark Maxim to the Infinite Earth became his new dream.

"Still not enough, let's extract another year!"

After reviewing Enel's major life events, Dongye Huanglong knew that the guy had accidentally eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit two years before destroying Bika.

He spent one or two years developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's abilities to the point where he could destroy Bika.

If he had subdued Enel right after he developed the island-destroying "Thunder Welcome" technique, his combat power wouldn't have decreased much.

"Okay!"

Vegapunk and Kuma acted again, extracting another year of Enel's memories.

As these memories disappeared, Enel's gaze towards the group lost its contempt and anger, replaced by a hint of wariness and nervousness.

At this moment, Enel was also a little panicked.

Why had he suddenly appeared here?

Why had his divine power disappeared?

Why did he feel completely powerless!

It was over; he wouldn't even have a chance to use the powerful abilities he had recently developed.

Dongye Huanglong quickly finished reviewing this portion of Enel's memories and felt a little more confident about subduing him.

If that still didn't work, he would have to modify Enel into a cyborg like in the original story, one that only followed commands.

In that case, he could still use his Devil Fruit abilities, but he would lose his potential for growth and couldn't unleash his full combat power.

In the original story, before the Summit War, Kuma's memories had already been completely stripped away, yet on the Marineford battlefield, he could still use the Paw-Paw Air Cannon to instantly defeat the Ancient Giant Little Oars, who had a bounty of 550 million.

Dongye Huanglong, carrying the flustered Enel, walked into a secret room.

"Your hometown, Bika, has been destroyed. You are now our captive.

I'll give you a chance to join us. Otherwise, you'll be buried with Bika right now."

Dongye Huanglong looked at the somewhat panicked Enel, unleashing a powerful aura. His hand transformed into a Dragon Claw, crackling with lightning, and Lunarian fire ignited on his body.

This terrifying display made Enel break out in a cold sweat.

"You can use lightning too? And you can use fire?"

Enel looked nervously at the terrifying man, who was a hundred times more powerful than the God of Bika.

This man could use fire, a power he himself didn't possess.

"I know you can use lightning and are immune to weapon attacks.

I'll give you one chance to fight me.

If you win, I'll let you go. If you lose, you'll become my subordinate."

Dongye Huanglong directly used a key to unlock Enel's Seastone handcuffs.

Feeling his strength return, Enel's confidence immediately came back.

He immediately unleashed a lightning dragon at Dongye Huanglong, transforming himself into lightning.

"Yeahaha! Without those strange handcuffs, you can't catch me!"

Enel regained his strength and speed, his confidence soaring. Even if he couldn't defeat this man right now, he could easily escape.

"You only have one chance!"

Dongye Huanglong transformed into a Half-Dragon Man and brazenly took Enel's lightning dragon head-on. Then, he unleashed a terrifying Conqueror's Haki. Black and red lightning directly forced the elementalized Enel out of his original form, bit by bit.

This terrified Enel, leaving him flustered and at a loss.

He didn't understand why his elementalization was failing.

At this moment, Dongye Huanglong had already charged forward and punched the stunned Enel in the stomach, causing the man to double over and fall to the ground.

"Remember, elementalization is also afraid of Haki!"

Dongye Huanglong stopped his special Conqueror's Haki and then used Armament Haki to lift Enel up.

"Let's see if you can still use lightning elementalization?"

Dongye Huanglong said coldly. Enel, who had just recovered from the suppression of Conqueror's Haki, was then grabbed by the black Armament Haki and couldn't break free at all.

This finally made him feel fear. He realized that elementalization wasn't invincible after all.

Not only could those black handcuffs seal his abilities, but this man's black and red lightning and aura could also suppress his elementalization. Furthermore, this black arm could grab his physical body.

Looking at the terrifying man transformed into a ferocious Half-Dragon Man, Enel felt the fear he had as a child once again.

"Don't kill me! I'm willing to become your Divine Soldier. The Bika you destroyed was a hometown I detested. I was happy about its destruction, and I won't be buried with it!"

Under Dongye Huanglong's terrifying aura, Enel's mental defenses finally collapsed. He knelt on one knee, submitting to this terrifying man.

"Divine Soldier is out of the question. From now on, you will be one of my executives, and you shall be known as the God of Thunder."

Dongye Huanglong had finally subdued and recruited this arrogant fellow. It had to be said, the combination of Vegapunk and Kuma was truly perfect.

"God of Thunder? Then God... what do you call yourself?"

Enel hadn't expected that the god he had just recognized would also bestow upon him a divine title. This was simply unbelievable.
