Time is always elusive, like quicksand, swirling around your fingers, forever beyond your grasp.

Two years ago, after God suddenly emerged from Impel Down and fought a great battle with the Marine Garp the Hero in the Sabaody Archipelago, destroying Enies Lobby, he seemed to have vanished into thin air without a trace.

What followed was a war of words between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army. The two sides went back and forth, but as the fighting went on, it lost its appeal because many people stopped believing them. As a result, the newspapers didn't sell and the business was losing money, so they eventually gave up.

The sea was bustling during that period.

And just like that, two years passed without us even realizing it.

Many significant events have occurred in these past two years.

For example, the friction between the Four Emperors, along with the erosion of time, Whitebeard has unknowingly grown old, and everything has begun to change. Even so, few people dare to provoke Whitebeard now.

Except for Kaido.

Kaido has become somewhat arrogant in the last two years. He has clashed with Red-Haired, Whitebeard, Big Big Wolf, and the Marines several times, but in the end, he still hastily brought them down.

His fight with Whitebeard was, unsurprisingly, a direct defeat. As for his battles with Red-Haired and Big, the outcome remains unknown. And his arrogant outburst at Marineford was, unsurprisingly, also a defeat.

This guy always goes alone, no matter where he goes. The Four Emperors are alright, but the Marines are the ones who suffer the most. That's right, this guy just landed in Marineford from the sky and ended up fighting on Marineford's own soil. You can imagine how green Sengoku's face must have been.

Therefore, Marineford underwent another renovation, which infuriated Sengoku to the point of vomiting blood.

The clashes in the Emperor War are also a popular topic of conversation. Although they have happened many times, these four individuals are all super overlords, people who can only look up to them forever.

After defeating the Four Emperors, it's time for the Revolutionary Army.

The Revolutionary Army's power is growing stronger and stronger. News of kingdoms being overthrown or battles between them and the World Government's Army is frequently reported.

However, no matter how the Revolutionary Army developed, it always remained in the shadows, never daring to show its face. It did a very good job of keeping secrets. Otherwise, if it really faced a full-scale extermination by the World Government, the Revolutionary Army would be like an egg hitting a rock, and the two sides would be incomparable.

Therefore, the Revolutionary Army has always proceeded cautiously, never confronting the World Government head-on, which has caused the Five Elders of Mary Geoise to lose their temper more than once.

Besides these established powers, many new talents have emerged on the high seas, such as the recently emerged Spade Pirates, whose captain is one of the few Logia-type Logia users.

There is also the Heart Pirates, whose captain is the renowned Death Surgeon.

Compared to the first two, the latter two pirate crews are the ones that truly rose to fame.

The Germa Pirates have three captains: Vinsmoke Ichi, Vinsmoke Niji, and Vinsmoke Yonji, with bounties of 170 million, 160 million, and 160 million respectively.

Those who know who is behind this pirate crew will not act rashly, while those who do not are all eyeing their heads.

Besides the Germa Pirates, the next one is the Fire Tank Pirates, whose captain, Godfather Capone Bege, has a bounty of 110 million.

Perhaps because of Ye Chen, these guys are stronger than in the original story, and they entered the sea earlier, so their reputations are quite resounding.

However, these guys have faced countless dangers in the past two years, and have even narrowly escaped death several times.

Aside from threats from pirates and various Pirate Hunter, the main threat comes from the Navy.

That's right. As soon as the Germa Pirates and the Fire Tank Pirates appeared, the Navy actually dispatched a vice admiral to capture Vice Admiral. Note that they directly sent Vice Admiral.

However, faced with various threats, both pirate crews have matured considerably, and their strength has also undergone a significant transformation.

Compared to these two pirate crews, Law, as the captain of the Heart Pirates, not only has to face pirates, Pirate Hunter, and the Navy, but also the threat from the Shichibukai. However, with Ye Chen by his side, Law's strength is on a completely different level from the original work. He has dodged crises several times and has been reborn from battles.

Most importantly, it seems that no one on the high seas knows that Luo is also one of Ye Chen's people.

Of course, besides the Spade Pirates, Heart Pirates, Germa Pirates, and Fire Tank Pirates, there's also Cavendish, the captain of the Beautiful Pirates, and so on. These people are known as the Supernova.

Yes, news about these pirate crews is everywhere now.

However, above all these pirate crews, there's a guy named Thunder God who's become even more famous than the Four Emperors in the last two years. You might not know who the Four Emperors are, but you absolutely must know this guy.

The Sacred Pirates, Thunder God Enel, has a bounty of 3.35 billion. You read that right, 3.35 billion. Compared to his bounty of 1.25 billion two years ago, this guy's bounty has more than doubled in the last two years, increasing by Eighteen billion.

This led to rumors at sea that the bounty on a first mate was higher than that on the actual captain.

So why is Thunder God's bounty so high?

For example, this guy destroyed Marineford was attacked by him as many as seven or eight times. Each time, countless bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, or various other random moves, as if he used Marineford as a testing ground for his techniques, and then left without saying a word.

One can imagine the fury of the navy during that period, especially Sengoku, who coughed up blood more than once.

Finally, the Navy could no longer tolerate it and waited specifically for Enel. That time, Enel almost died. Even though he left after unleashing his attack, he was blocked by Kizaru for a moment and then besieged by Garp, Sengoku, and others.

Sure, he narrowly escaped, but he managed to get away in the end. So he hasn't been bothering the Navy much lately and plans to take a break until he's fully recovered.

Besides primarily targeting the navy, this guy also goes to other places to plunder.

However, this guy has high standards; he wouldn't stoop to the level of ordinary pirate crews, so he set his sights on the Four Emperors.

First, he clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates, fighting against Marco the Phoenix, Diamond Jozu, and others, but the final outcome is unknown. The second time, this guy got arrogant and directly challenged Whitebeard.

As you can imagine, in the end, he had no choice but to utter a harsh remark and flee in a sorry state, coughing up blood.

The Whitebeard Pirates could only watch helplessly as this guy escaped. After all, his ability to escape was comparable to Kizaru's —both were the kind of abilities that made people grit their teeth in hatred.

Then came the battle with the Red-Haired Pirates, the outcome of which is unknown.

The Beasts Pirates' fate remains unknown.

The fate of the Big Pirates is unknown.

One bombshell event after another made the name Thunder God Enel resound throughout the seas, and he was even called the Fifth Emperor. However, this guy has always been a lone wolf, so his power is still far from enough. He is only the closest to the Four Emperors.

Just like the Red the Aloof hero in the One Piece era, he can stand on equal footing with the Four Emperors all by himself.

The Navy, the Four Emperors —these events combined are enough to make Enel deserving of a terrifying bounty of 3 billion.

Yes, mainly because the losses Enel inflicted on the Navy were enormous. That period was a nightmare for the Navy, but for other pirates on the high seas, they were idols.

The strongest Logia Devil Fruit user was only now being recognized by everyone. And what made the Navy so furious was that this guy ran away after unleashing his attack without any hesitation. Otherwise, he would have been dead countless times already.

Therefore, during those two years, Thunder God Enel was world-renowned and unparalleled, and the Supernova could only live in his shadow.

And God was once forgotten.
