The Unluckiest Villain
A thunderous roar erupted. Ye Chen, enraged by Enel's unharmed state, unleashed another surge of astonishing lightning.
Although Observation Haki, the aura Ye Chen gave him was far stronger and more threatening than that of the rabbit and the others.
"60 Million Volt Thunder Dragon."
Enel unleashed his true power right from the start, striking the drum on his back, causing rampaging lightning to coil around him and form a hundred-meter-long blue dragon that bared its fangs and claws, lunging at Ye Chen.
Clenching his fist, Armament Haki jet-black armor, Ye Chen unleashed a powerful punch as the Lightning Dragon charged towards him. The air exploded with a deafening roar, and he actually blasted the Lightning Dragon apart.
Enel stared wide-eyed at the Lightning Dragon that vanished in a flash of light, his face filled with disbelief.
"Swish"
A Rankyaku, imposing in its force, charged directly towards Enel.
This time, however, Enel was smarter. He transformed into his elemental form beforehand and instead of retreating, he advanced, appearing behind Ye Chen. His right foot was wrapped in raging lightning as he kicked towards Ye Chen's back.
Using his Observation Haki to look down, even with the most minute details, Ye Chen could sense the fluctuations emanating from Enel, clearly indicating that the opponent had also activated his Observation Haki.
However, for now, this thing should be called the Mantra.
Turning around directly, Ye Chen, his right foot encased in Armament Haki, didn't even use his abilities, and clashed heavily with Enel.
My first sensation was a tingling sensation, but it wasn't very harmful.
In contrast to Ye Chen's ease, Enel was unable to withstand Ye Chen's immense power and was sent flying backward.
Ye Chen gave chase and rushed out.
As he flew backward, Enel's emotions exploded. His body crackled with blinding lightning as he transformed into electrons and vanished into thin air, only to reform his body on the other side.
But the next moment, Ye Chen appeared and punched Enel.
Helpless, Enel, his right hand crackling with electricity, clashed heavily with Ye Chen. He dared not be as foolish as he had been at the beginning, letting Ye Chen attack him.
"Damn it, how did you manage to attack me?"
He withstood Ye Chen 'Ye Chen punches, only to be met with a full-on beating from him.
Indeed, at this moment, Enel could only parry. Under Ye Chen's relentless physical attacks, he endured several punches and kicks in just a few seconds, each one as heavy as a mountain, leaving Enel extremely frustrated.
Most importantly, his own Mantra couldn't hear the other person's voice, so he couldn't predict their next attack. Furthermore, he sensed that this man possessed the same abilities as his Mantra, but even stronger.
"You're like a frog in a well; your limited perspective restricts your talents and abilities. You'll never know how vast the world is."
With a slam into Enel's stomach, his eyes bloodshot, Enel transformed into a bolt of lightning and crashed directly onto the island, causing a deafening earthquake.
"Crackling"
Dark clouds covered the sky, bolts of lightning streaked across the air, and the atmosphere roared continuously. Enel rose from the ground into the sky, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.
"I am a god, the 100 Million Volt Thunder God."
The endless lightning was so intense it made one's scalp tingle. Enel was covered in lightning, like the sun, radiating heat and destruction, making it extremely visually striking!
His face was completely unrecognizable, Enel's aura suddenly surged, causing his body to rise even higher.
Bathed in lightning, Enel's eyes were azure, and a violent power surged through his body. He felt that he controlled everything; he was a god, the only god.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Ye Chen vanished from his spot and unleashed a punch.
"Ants." There was no clash as expected, because Enel calmly extended his right hand, grasped Thunder, and met Xuan Ye's fist head-on.
A massive storm erupted from their fists.
Without a word, Ye Chen turned around, his right foot scraping against the air as he roared past.
"Too slow." Similarly, with his right foot, Enel easily blocked Xuan Ye's attack.
With a series of punches and kicks, countless attacks landed, none of them missing, all of which were blocked by Enel.
"Under the cover of my Mantra, I can clearly feel the sound of your attacks. In this mode, I am the strongest, and no one can defeat me."
With his hands clenched tightly around Ye Chen's fists, Enel lowered his head and spoke slowly and deliberately, full of smugness.
But what greeted him was Ye Chen's expressionless knee.
"Useless." Enel blocked Ye Chen's attack once again, his face showing contempt once more.
After a brief clash, they created some distance, and Ye Chen flicked his hand.
Indeed, Enel is now much stronger than before, and his Observation Haki has also improved significantly. Keep in mind that Enel is currently just a young man, and his limited perspective is due to his environment. Therefore, he is currently incomparable to Luffy in the future.
Ye Chen clearly remembered that when this guy fought Luffy later, his lightning volts were at most 200 million or 300 million, but now, 100 million seemed to be his limit.
Yes, Enel is weak right now; however, this weakness is relative to Ye Chen. My initial estimate is that if Bai Doudou gets serious, Enel might not be a match for her.
Enel's only notable abilities right now, besides the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, are his Mantra. And this guy is quite talented; he even combined his abilities to change his Mantra, giving it a power similar to hearing, which is mind reading. It could be a rudimentary ability to Voice of All Things.
Ye Chen's Observation Haki is also at this stage, but it is very different from Enel's. Enel's Observation Haki is combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which is similar to a kind of radio wave, allowing him to predict the opponent's movements and hear their thoughts.
Preliminary estimates suggest that Enel's Observation Haki is only capable of hearing the voices of intelligent beings, and it has significant flaws. For example, he wouldn't be able to hear any voices from someone as powerful as Ye Chen, or someone whose Observation Haki is comparable to his.
For example, some animals without intelligence, like Enel, cannot hear sounds. As for fire, it can not only speak, but it is also quite intelligent, so Enel can hear it.
As for Ye Chen's Observation Haki, he can not only hear intelligent beings, but now he can even hear simple animals without intelligence, and he can also sense their emotions.
Ultimately, Ye Chen will be able to hear sounds and sense emotions from anything, whether intelligent or non-intelligent, living or inanimate. However, to reach this level, Ye Chen will still need to put in a great deal of effort and time.
Therefore, in comparison, Enel's Observation Haki was a trick, but even so, it was still much stronger than ordinary Observation Haki.
In addition, Enel is too young now, but Ye Chen has high hopes for him. If he can subdue this guy, then after Awakening Armament Haki or trains hard, Ye Chen cannot guarantee how strong he will become in the end.
After all, Enel wasn't really stupid; on the contrary, he was quite talented. Otherwise, he wouldn't have possessed such powerful Observation Haki.
In short, it was his environment and limited perspective that restricted Enel's development. In the original work, he could have been an extremely tragic villain.
The main reason is the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; it's simply too strong, possessing endless possibilities in terms of speed, destructive power, and area-of-effect attacks.
If he hadn't already eaten the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, Ye Chen might have had some ideas.
