Crack!
Lei En opened his mouth and bit off a huge chunk of fruit right in front of Enel's bloodshot eyes.
A bizarre stench, like dead sewer rats, moldy rotten apples, and foul socks mixed together, instantly exploded in his mouth.
"Fuck! This tastes absolutely disgusting!"
Lei En's face immediately turned green, his features twisting like a steamed bun.
Yet he still forced down the stomach-churning nausea and swallowed the flesh with a gulp.
"You bastard! Spit it out! Spit it out!"
Enel, whose other end of the staff was held in Lei En's single hand, completely lost his mind.
Watching the divine fruit he had dreamed of being eaten by someone else, his reason instantly collapsed.
"I'll kill you!"
Enel let out a shrill roar, released the staff, and flipped through the air.
He drew the spare dagger at his waist as he fell, using the momentum of his descent to viciously stab at Lei En's head!
"Die!!!"
Lei En raised his head, the nauseating taste of the Devil Fruit still lingering in his mouth.
Looking at the dagger inches away, a wildly crazed sneer spread across his lips.
He neither dodged nor blocked, even dropping the defensive stance he had used to catch the staff.
He simply stood there stiffly.
Squelch!
The dagger pierced Lei En's forehead without any resistance!
A flash of wild delight had just appeared in Enel's eyes when his expression froze completely the next second.
No blood splattered.
There was no sound of a skull shattering.
His dagger had somehow pierced straight through Lei En's head as though it had stabbed into a mass of incorporeal air!
Where the blade passed, Lei En's flesh transformed into strands of deep-blue lightning!
The Logia Devil Fruit's strongest defensive mechanism—Elementalization!
"W-What is this?!"
Enel's hand holding the dagger trembled violently as he tried to retreat in terror, as if he had seen a ghost.
But it was already too late.
Boom—!!!
A violently overwhelming force, as though it could destroy the world, exploded from within Lei En!
The dim tree hollow was instantly illuminated by a dazzling blue light, bright as day.
Bzzzt! Bzzzt!
The piercing sound of electrical currents resounded throughout God's Island.
Countless thick bolts of blue lightning surged crazily from Lei En's small body like wildly dancing silver serpents!
The lightning coiled and leapt around his body, crackling with a terrifying sound.
His black training clothes fluttered violently beneath the scorching heat of the lightning.
Lei En slowly floated into the air. His eyes had completely turned deep blue, flickering with incomparably violent electric light.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended upon Enel like a hundred thousand mountains, crushing him to the ground.
"Is this... the power of a god?"
Enel collapsed onto the ground, staring up at the boy floating in midair like a god descending into the world. He was so frightened that he forgot how to breathe.
The Mantra he was so proud of was like a lone boat upon the ocean before Lei En's vast, boundless thunderous power, instantly torn to pieces.
Lei En hovered in the air, feeling the surging power inside him that seemed as though it would never run dry.
Roger's peak swordsmanship.
Combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, one of the most powerful offensive Devil Fruits in the pirate world!
At this moment, Lei En felt an unprecedented sense of omnipotence and strength.
"Finally... it's mine."
Lei En spread his arms and raised his head.
He could even clearly sense the free-floating electric charges in the air around him submitting to his will.
"This power really is intoxicating."
Lei En lowered his head slightly and looked at Enel, who was trembling like a sieve on the ground. A sinister smile curled across his lips.
"Hey, long-eared thief."
Lei En's voice was not loud, but it carried an extremely faint electric current that hummed through the tree hollow.
"Didn't you say just now that this thing was bestowed upon you by the gods?"
Lei En slowly raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at the enormous dome above the tree hollow.
"Then I'll show you what a true divine miracle looks like."
The moment he finished speaking.
Rumble!!!
A terrifying blue lightning pillar more than ten meters in diameter erupted from Lei En's fingertip!
Carrying destruction powerful enough to crush anything in its path, it instantly blasted through dozens of meters of hard tree trunk!
Crack! Crack!
The massive ancient tree let out a pained groan as countless splinters rained down like a torrential storm.
But the lightning pillar did not slow in the slightest. It pierced through the upper canopy of God's Island's dense forest and crashed violently into Sky Island's thick cloud layer, which never dispersed year-round!
Boom—!
Another earth-shattering explosion rang out!
The dense clouds, so thick that even sunlight could barely penetrate them, were blasted open by the lightning pillar, leaving a massive hole several kilometers wide!
Warm sunlight poured through the huge opening in the clouds like a sacred pillar of light, spilling across the forest of God's Island.
It shone upon Lei En floating in midair.
As though a true god had descended.
Enel stared at the lightning pillar piercing through heaven and earth, then at the lightning-clad boy bathed in sunlight.
The golden dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He was completely dumbfounded, his mind blank. Nothing remained but endless trembling and submission.
At the same time, system notifications began ringing wildly in Lei En's mind like a string of firecrackers.
[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! Hidden interception achievement completed!] [Check-in successful!] [Distributing special rewards...] [Congratulations, host: Perfect physique integration obtained!] [Devil Fruit side effects—fear of seawater and Seastone—removed!] [Congratulations, host: Lightning control directly increased to MAX (fully awakened state)!]
Hearing that string of reward notifications, Lei En, floating in midair, could not help bursting into loud laughter.
"Hahahaha! A max-level Rumble-Rumble Fruit with no side effects! I'm really invincible this time!"
Lei En laughed so hard that tears nearly came out.
He slowly descended to the ground, the lightning around his body gradually withdrawing.
Lei En walked over to Enel, whose soul had long since fled from terror, and arrogantly planted his foot on Enel's chest.
He looked down at this future "Thunder God of Sky Island," his eyes full of mockery.
"Kid, did you see that?"
Lei En pointed at the enormous hole in the clouds overhead, his tone carrying an unquestionable dominance.
"From today onward, I'm your god. Now, I'll give you two choices..."
