Background and History
As a child on Sky Island, Enel lived alone and carried his own daily utensils. Ye Mu noticed scars on his body, while Enel feared being beaten if villagers discovered he had left without permission. After meeting Ye Mu, he helped find food and led him to Shandora, where he had seen another Devil Fruit 3 4 5.
At Shandora, Ye Mu gave Enel the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Enel ate it while fleeing the giant python known as the Lord of the Sky Island, then returned to confront the creature because he feared it had swallowed Ye Mu. The two escaped together. Following years of training, they returned to Shandora and defeated the python 6 7 8 9.
Enel sailed with Ye Mu aboard the Twin Goddesses and became vice-captain of the Sky Pirates. During their early voyage, he fought Marines and CP9 agents, clashed with Borsalino, and acquired a 380-million-berry bounty 17 22 30 44 107.
After the Sky Pirates expanded into fleets, Enel led the Thunder God Pirates. They defeated the Silver Axe Pirates and took control of the Batorilaf Waters; Enel was subsequently named among the New World's Four Emperors 373 374 377. Years later, he brought his crew to the Marine G-5 Branch and declared his intention to drive the Marines out of the New World 516 517.
When Rocks D. Zebek appeared, Enel temporarily fought alongside Garp against him. Their combined assault held Rocks off, but Rocks's wide-ranging attack left Enel and the others wounded 562 563 567.
Appearance
Enel favors blue and yellow clothing and is repeatedly shown carrying a golden staff 17 44 398.
- Blue three-tomoe earrings 17.
- Lightning visibly crackles across his body when he uses his fruit 14.
- His Thunder God form is a giant body of lightning; Ultra Instinct Form condenses it back into a smaller figure with electrically glowing eyes 562.
Personality
Enel is proud and dislikes being treated as inferior. Ye Mu's earlier awakening of Conqueror's Haki troubled him for years: he accepted that Ye Mu was stronger, but refused to believe he lacked the same potential. Although often reserved around the crew, he becomes openly excited when offered a fight in which he can use his full strength 96 99.
He is loyal to Ye Mu, whom he regards as a brother, and follows his direction in dangerous situations. His aloof manner also softens around baby-5: after she endangered herself during his battle with Chinjao, he scolded her out of concern 7 27 38 100. He can show restraint when it matters, choosing not to confront hidden observers during the crew's amusement-park visit 107.

Trivia
- Marine intelligence initially describes Enel as controlling both the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Cloud-Cloud Fruit. A later account clarifies that he does not personally possess two fruit abilities: the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's power comes from technology that grants Devil Fruit abilities to objects 375 502.
