Discharge: 20 Million Volts
"Discharge 20 million volts..." With Enel's deep roar, a dazzling pillar of electricity suddenly erupted from his raised right hand! This pillar of electricity, like a roaring dragon, carried a world-destroying force and struck straight at Moke with lightning speed.
However, Moke remained remarkably calm in the face of such a terrifying attack. A confident smile played on his lips, for he had long been prepared to respond.
Moke took a deep breath and instantly activated his Absorb-Absorb Fruit ability. In an instant, a powerful suction force erupted from his body, forming an invisible vortex. The originally menacing 20 million volt bolt of electricity, which had been rushing straight towards him, was like Tekkai attracted by a magnet, helplessly drawn into the vortex and quickly disappeared.
After all the electricity was absorbed into Moke's body, Enel's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that his prized 20 million volt electric shock had been so easily neutralized by the other party!
"How is this possible?" Enel exclaimed involuntarily, his voice filled with astonishment and panic.
Before he could recover from his shock, an even more astonishing scene unfolded. A series of crackling sounds rang out, and Moke's body suddenly began to tremble violently. At the same time, dazzling arcs of electricity flickered and danced around him, as if countless nimble little snakes were coiling around him.
As time went on, the arcs of electricity grew denser and the light intensified. Finally, at a certain moment, Moke suddenly raised his right hand, and a similarly powerful bolt of electricity roared out from his palm!
The bolt of electricity was incredibly fast, reaching Enel in the blink of an eye. Enel had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as it struck his body.
Enel stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief as he felt the powerful electrical surge. He secretly estimated that this current was a staggering 40 million volts! That was more than twice the intensity of his attack just now... What astonished him even more was that Moke slowly extended his right hand, and dazzling bolts of electricity, like nimble silver snakes, danced and flickered merrily in Moke's palm. Without a doubt, Moke, at this moment, had also mastered the miraculous ability to manipulate electricity, just like him.
"You..." Enel stared blankly at what was happening before him, frozen in place as if petrified. For Enel, his ability to control electricity at will had always been his greatest strength. Yet now, this unique advantage had been easily copied and surpassed, meaning his power would be drastically reduced by at least half! Was there any point in continuing this battle?
However, Enel quickly recovered from his shock and regained some confidence. After all, even if his electric attack had no effect on Moke, could the opponent's electric attack necessarily harm him? Since neither side could defeat the other, the worst that could happen was a draw! With this in mind, Enel's tense nerves relaxed a little.
At that moment, Moke suddenly paused, then immediately discerned Enel's true thoughts. A slight, contemptuous smile appeared on his lips. Immediately afterward, an extremely dense black Ghost Aura erupted from his body, enveloping Moke like a billowing cloud of black smoke. Simultaneously, two blazing purple flames ignited in Moke's deep eyes, as terrifying as hellfire. Even more terrifying, an unparalleled Conqueror's Haki also exploded forth, sweeping outwards with overwhelming force, instantly engulfing the entire magnificent temple.
Enel was caught completely off guard and took the brunt of the attack! In an instant, the combined impact of the Ghost Aura Intimidation and Conqueror's Haki surged forth like a raging torrent, crashing heavily into his body. Never before had Enel encountered such a fierce attack, and for a moment his mind went completely blank, as if time had stood still.
In that fleeting moment, a crisp sound rang out, "Whoosh..." Moke's Sandai Kitetsu was drawn from its sheath with lightning speed! The gleaming blade drew a strange arc in the air, and at the same time, powerful Armament Haki quickly wrapped around it, making the entire sword exude a chilling aura.
When Enel recovered from his brief moment of distraction, the Sandai Kitetsu in Moke's hand had already silently returned to its sheath. Everything happened so fast that it was almost imperceptible. However, the next moment, Enel suddenly gasped, a sharp pain shooting through his chest. Since eating that miraculous fruit and gaining godlike power, he had long forgotten what pain felt like. But now, this long-forgotten pain exploded in his heart like a thunderclap, filling him with unprecedented unease and fear.
Enel instinctively lowered his head, his gaze fixed on his chest. There, a long, narrow wound was visible. Although the wound was not wide or deep, the slowly flowing crimson blood was like a blazing flame, relentlessly scorching his nerves.
"I'm injured... I'm actually injured?" Enel's eyes widened as he muttered in disbelief. His pupils contracted sharply, becoming as small as pinpoints, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if the entire world had collapsed at that moment. This small wound might be nothing to an ordinary person, but for Enel, who considered himself an invincible god, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Then, he slowly raised his head and looked straight at Moke, his eyes filled with astonishment and surprise, as if he had seen the most inconceivable and unbelievable sight in the world.
"You... you... how could you possibly hurt me? I am a high and mighty, omnipotent god!" Moke had already sheathed his longsword, but in an instant, a dense black aura rapidly enveloped his entire body. Moke calmly said, "Just now, I told you that you are not a true god, merely a user of a Logia Devil Fruit. And this black power surrounding me is called Armament Haki; it is specifically designed to counter Logia Fruit users like you..."
Enel stared wide-eyed at the mysterious Armament Haki emanating from Moke, his gaze filled with deep shock, mixed with an indescribable doubt and disbelief. However, Moke remained calm and continued, "If you don't believe me, you can try Elementalization..."
Upon hearing this, Enel was slightly taken aback. After a moment of silence, he ultimately decided to do as Moke suggested. Immediately, with a thought, his right arm transformed into an elemental arm Shine with lightning. But what happened next was something he would never forget— Moke flashed forward, striking with lightning speed, easily grasping his once indestructible and untouchable Elementalization arm. Even more astonishingly, under Moke's tight grip, Enel's prized Elementalization ability completely lost its effectiveness, as if bound by some powerful spell, unable to break free.
Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, several days have slipped through his fingers like sand. At this moment, Enel sits in the magnificent temple, yet his heart is still filled with disbelief.
He had always believed that the Sky Island he lived on was the entirety of the world, but now he was astonished to realize that this world was far more vast and boundless than he had ever known. The Sky Island was merely one of many islands, albeit a slightly special one. And on that mysterious and unpredictable Blue Sea, there existed beings with abilities as powerful as his own. They could manipulate elemental forces such as magma, light, ice, earth, and Gale... Well, after some thought, Enel could finally accept these facts, albeit reluctantly. After all, wasn't there a living example right before his eyes? He had no choice but to believe it!
However, something happened that left Enel utterly astonished and even absurd—the guy who had given him this information claimed that in the next few days, a fellow from the Blue Sea would arrive and give him a sound beating. Even more bizarrely, this approaching opponent was supposedly far weaker than Enel himself! How could this be? It was simply outrageous... Enel thought to himself, "Hmph! I'll see for myself what kind of arrogant fool dares to spout such nonsense!"
"Huh... someone actually came here." Enel's powerful Observation Haki instantly detected an uninvited guest approaching. A slight smile played on his lips as he thought to himself: Could there really be someone in this world so reckless as to challenge me? Hmph, with my strength, why would I fear an opponent far weaker than myself?
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly rang out—"Boom..." Moke, who had just finished transporting the gold and was happily preparing to return to the Sky Island, froze on his face with a smile. His eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief and surprise.
Immediately afterwards, with a soft "whoosh," Moke's figure blurred, instantly transforming into a dazzling bolt of electricity, speeding towards the temple like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at his destination. However, what he saw before him greatly surprised him.
The once arrogant Enel was now lying on the ground, looking utterly disheveled and unconscious. Luffy, standing to the side, stood with his hands on his hips, looking as if the battle was nothing more than a piece of cake for him.
Moke shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly, "Sigh, this incredibly foolish guy, how can he be so stubborn? Doesn't he know that Luffy is the legendary Nika- Devil Fruit User? With such an obvious counter-relationship, even if Enel has extraordinary abilities, it would probably be in vain... Yet, he insists on challenging this invincible power, he's truly courting death!" Just as Moke was lost in his thoughts, suddenly, a cry of surprise reached his ears.
"It's you..." Luffy's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment as he stared straight at Moke, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable. Clearly, Luffy was incredibly surprised to encounter Moke here. Then, Luffy tilted his head slightly, his bright eyes filled with curiosity, and eagerly asked, "You actually know this guy?"
In response to Luffy's question, Moke simply nodded slightly, which was taken as an affirmative answer. For a moment, the entire scene fell into a brief but solemn silence.
After a moment of silence, Moke took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed Enel's collar, preparing to take him away. However, to Moke's utter surprise, just as he took a step, a figure flashed past like Inazuma. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Luffy, who appeared in front of him with lightning speed, blocking his way.
"You absolutely cannot take him away..." Luffy shouted loudly, his arms crossed over his chest, his expression extremely serious. His gaze was as firm as a rock, containing an undeniable power and determination, as if no one could question what he was saying at that moment.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Moke turned to look at Luffy with a suspicious expression, his mouth agape and an expression of disbelief on his face. "What does this mean? Are you going to kill him?"
Upon hearing this, Luffy narrowed his eyes slightly, met Moke's gaze without flinching, and replied resolutely, "That's right. If he refuses to leave Sky Island voluntarily, then I'll have no choice but to teach him a lesson again..." As he spoke, he even brandished his fist in a show of defiance.
Seeing this, Moke was stunned. In an instant, a flash of insight struck him, and he suddenly understood why the incredibly powerful Enel ultimately chose to leave Sky Island for the distant moon in the original story; at the same time, he finally understood why Luffy and his crew could leave Sky Island so easily without any worries. Indeed, if Enel didn't willingly agree to leave Sky Island, then unless he was completely eliminated, Sky Island would immediately fall back into Enel's control as soon as they left. Thinking of this, Moke secretly pondered that perhaps in the original story, the once invincible Enel was truly defeated by Luffy and became disheartened, even somewhat withdrawn.
After calming himself down a bit, Moke quickly assured Luffy, "Okay, okay, don't worry! I'll definitely get him out of Sky Island..." However, to his surprise, Luffy shook his head without hesitation and firmly retorted, "No, he has to answer this himself." Clearly, Luffy's stubborn and inflexible nature had resurfaced.
"Wow..." Moke's eyes widened as he stared intently at the guy in front of him, who radiated a passionate aura. The figure trembled slightly, as if burning with boundless fighting spirit. Moke's lips twitched involuntarily as he thought to himself, "This kid's gotten too cocky! Does he really think that after defeating that arrogant Enel, he can rival me? Hmph, how ridiculously naive!"
In that instant, Moke's thoughts seemed to be struck by Inazuma, countless ideas and images flashing through his mind. In the end, these chaotic and complex thoughts converged on one point—the opponent he had always longed to challenge, Luffy.
Moke took a deep breath and slowly, steadily raised his right hand. His gaze was fixed on the hand, as if it were a priceless treasure. As his arm rose, he began to slowly tighten his fingers, each finger seemingly brought to life, pressing tightly together. Gradually, his once loose palm became as hard as steel, finally forming an indestructible, iron-hard fist.
At the same time, a mocking smile suddenly appeared on Moke's otherwise stern face. This smile contained a hint of barely perceptible excitement and anticipation, making one wonder what could possibly make such a cold-blooded person show such an expression? Then, in a slightly teasing yet provocative tone, Moke spoke with great interest, "Luffy, it's been quite a while since you've tasted the incredibly powerful Fist of Love of your grandfather Garp! How about it, are you already missing that feeling of getting a black eye and a swollen face? Hahahaha..."
Hearing this, Luffy was taken aback at first, scratching his head in confusion, and casually replied, "Huh? It does seem like it's been a long time since I've been hit." However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening sharply as he eagerly asked, "Wait, how do you know about my grandfather's Fist of Love?" In his memory, only a handful of people knew about his grandfather's signature move—only three people in total: himself, Ace, and Sabo. At this moment, Luffy instinctively shrank back, clearly, the Fist of Love he had suffered had left a deep psychological scar.
Faced with Luffy's persistent questioning, Moke simply waved his hand dismissively, saying nonchalantly, "You don't need to know how I found out... all you need to know is that I'm about to let you experience the power of 'love' again!" With that, a sly glint flashed in Moke's eyes, and his clenched fist was already poised to strike.
In that instant, Moke roared, "Armament Hardening!" With this roar, a powerful energy rapidly gathered on his fist. In the blink of an eye, his ordinary fist was enveloped in a layer of pitch-black, incredibly hard Armament Haki. Immediately afterward, Moke's figure flashed, and he unleashed the "Shave" technique with his feet, disappearing from the spot like Inazuma.
In the next instant, a figure appeared like a ghost, and when everyone looked closely, Moke was already standing steadily in front of Luffy. Luffy was clearly caught off guard and had not yet recovered from this sudden turn of events. In the blink of an eye, a deafening roar rang out—"Bang..." With this loud sound, Moke's Iron Fist, imbued with Armament Haki, slammed towards Luffy's head like a cannonball with lightning speed.
"Ouch..." Luffy never expected to suffer such a ferocious and devastating blow. The instant the fist made contact with his head, an excruciating pain surged through his body like a tidal wave. The pain was so intense it seemed to penetrate to the bone, causing Luffy to involuntarily reach out and clutch his head tightly, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Ouch! That hurts so much!"
However, at this moment, Moke was like a raging beast, completely enraged, utterly ignoring Luffy's miserable state and showing no intention of stopping his attack. His once handsome face was now expressionless, chillingly cold; the icy light emanating from his eyes was extremely cruel, like millennia-old ice, terrifying to behold. At this moment, Moke seemed to have transformed into a tireless, relentless fighting machine, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks at Luffy.
With another loud "bang," Moke's second punch slammed into Luffy's head with lightning speed. This punch was significantly more powerful than the first, its impact so great Luffy staggered, nearly falling to the ground in a sorry state.
Immediately afterward, Moke's eyes widened, his hair stood on end in fury, and he exuded a chilling aura. His thick, powerful arms swung wildly, his fists Luffy like Gale. Each punch brought with it a sharp, piercing whistling sound, as if tearing the air apart, and the immense power it contained was truly terrifying.
Caught off guard by the sudden and fierce attack, Luffy could only frantically cover his head and dodge left and right like a headless fly. However, Moke's punches were too fast and too dense, and no matter how hard Luffy tried to dodge, many punches still hit his body hard.
"Aaaaaah... it hurts so much... stop hitting me!" Luffy cried out as he rolled around on the ground in a sorry state. His voice trembled with fear and pain, sounding utterly miserable. But Moke showed no mercy; his face was ashen, and his eyes were as cold as frost in the dead of winter.
Moke pressed forward relentlessly, his footwork as agile and unpredictable as a ghost. He would sometimes charge forward, sometimes slide to the side, always managing to lock Luffy firmly within his attack range. Faced with such a formidable opponent, Luffy had no chance of escape and could only struggle on, praying that this nightmare would end soon.
