Enel

"Wait... Let me think."

Ye Mu was something of an anime fan, and he was extraordinarily familiar with One Piece. Although he had not watched the anime or read the manga since the Marineford arc, he had still seen plenty of short videos, edits, and fanfiction.

But he had never once imagined that something like transmigration would happen to him.

"Sky Island... Isn't that the territory of God Enel? Fuck. I don't have any money to pay the toll. If a person from the Blue Sea comes to Sky Island and gets killed by Enel's people like Luffy's crew did in the anime, what am I supposed to do..."

Although in the plot, whether because of the protagonist halo or some other reason, Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit had never actually electrocuted anyone to death, Ye Mu had no desire to try it himself. He did not think he could take a bolt of lightning and still survive.

"They made me transmigrate, but they didn't even give me some awesome Devil Fruit. How am I supposed to get by... Forget it. I won't think about that for now. The most important thing is to find out what era I'm in..."

It had to be said that although he had experienced something as miraculous as transmigration, Ye Mu's mind remained extremely calm and clear. He quickly sorted out his current situation.

So Ye Mu released his gentlest goodwill toward the little boy in front of him and asked, "Kid, let me ask you. Who is the god on Sky Island right now?"

Ye Mu felt that this question was now the most important thing of all. If it was Gan Fall, then things would still be manageable. That old man could at least be considered half a good person, so he would not need to worry about safety for the time being. But if it was Enel, that crackling bastard who wanted to destroy Sky Island, Ye Mu felt he should start preparing his own funeral arrangements.

And as soon as Ye Mu finished speaking, the little boy in front of him looked at Ye Mu, his expression suddenly turning extremely guarded.

Ye Mu even sensed a faint but very dangerous aura from the little boy before him.

"That has to be my imagination."

Ye Mu was covered in cold sweat as he speculated inwardly.

Right now, his entire body was weak. If this child really wanted to kill him, he was afraid he would truly die here.

Fortunately, that killing intent vanished in a flash.

"Why are you asking that?"

the little boy asked coldly.

"Nothing... nothing..."

Ye Mu wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and answered.

Only then did the little boy reply, "It's an old guy called Gan Fall."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness."

After hearing the little boy's words, Ye Mu felt somewhat relieved.

However, he immediately thought of another question and asked the child, "Then do you know someone called Enel, a really powerful guy?"

"...How do you know my name..."

"Uh..."

The two little boys stared at each other in mutual astonishment, eye to eye...

Half an hour later...

"Kid, let me ask you. Are you really called Enel, not Elu, or Eni, or maybe Nilu?"

Ye Mu still refused to give up as he asked the little boy in front of him.

He really could not believe that the guy in the anime who had been so arrogant he thought himself invincible, who called himself a god, could actually be this little boy in front of him who blushed just from looking at him.

"How many times have I told you? My name is Enel."

At this moment, little Enel had already grown somewhat impatient with Ye Mu's endless questioning. Especially the phrase "kid" before every sentence—Enel, whose masculine pride was acting up, found it even more unbearable.

Ye Mu kept gesturing at the boy in front of him with his hands. A body less than one meter tall, a thin face, and a frame that looked extremely frail—this was simply a completely different person from the Enel in his memory.

"Fine... Hey... Enel, do you have anything to eat?"

After thinking for a long while, and considering that his whole body was weak and his stomach was growling, Ye Mu asked this question.

As for whether the little boy in front of him was really that Enel, it was no longer important to Ye Mu. So what if he was? So what if he was not? He should eat and drink his fill first, then wait until his body had some strength before saying anything else.

Enel glanced at Ye Mu and answered somewhat unhappily, "No! I came out to look for food in the first place. I didn't expect to run into you."

"Uh... Then what do we do? Big Brother is already so hungry he has no strength left."

"Hmph, go find it yourself. I'm leaving."

Enel had already been away from the village for quite a long time. If he did not go back soon, once those people in the village noticed, they would definitely cause trouble for him again.

"Hey... hey... Don't go... What am I supposed to do if you leave?"

Ye Mu did not dare let the Enel in front of him leave him. After all, he was in a strange place, and it had not been easy to find someone he could say he knew. Even if that person was Enel, he was unwilling to let him leave.

But Enel looked determined to go, which gave Ye Mu a bit of a headache.

Just then...

The sound of "gurgle, gurgle" came from both their stomachs.

"Right."

Ye Mu suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Hey, I'm asking, little guy, are you hungry?"

Ye Mu had originally thought he could use food to lure the little guy into staying. To his surprise, the moment the words left his mouth, Enel looked at him with a furious expression, leaving Ye Mu completely baffled.

"I'm telling you, don't call me little guy, or I'll beat you up."

As he spoke, Enel waved his small fist.

"You're the same age as me. What gives you the right to call me little guy?"

After hearing Enel's words, Ye Mu finally understood. So this little guy had quite a strong sense of pride, and he had actually gotten angry over that. Still, the way he raised his fist really did have a bit of Enel's feel to it.

Ye Mu looked down at himself. With his tiny build, he really wasn't suited to calling Enel a little guy.

"All right, in that case, I'll introduce myself. My name is Ye Mu. From now on, you can just call me Ye Mu."

"Ye Mu? What a weird name."

Enel thought for a moment and said.

"Don't get hung up on the name."

Ye Mu answered without caring at all. As for the issue of his name, he also felt that using his original name in the world of One Piece did seem a little strange. But now was not the time to dwell on that. The most important issue right now was his stomach—his stomach!

"In that case, we know each other now. As a meeting gift, how about I make you something delicious?"

Ye Mu acted as if they were already old friends, placing his hand on Enel's shoulder. In response, Enel merely struggled a little.

"Fine... little guy Ye Mu."

Perhaps the word "eat" had drawn Enel in. Besides, the people in the village probably would not be coming back at this time, so only then did Enel nod in agreement.

But in his words, he still did not forget to add "little guy," taking revenge for being called little guy by Ye Mu. At that, Ye Mu could only respond with a wry smile.
