With the terrifying power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel had yet to defeat any famous fighters, but the sea's major powers were already wary of him. They had put him on their lists of people never to provoke.
His near-instantaneous speed and devastating lightning had been displayed to the world through the incidents on Punk Hazard and Dressrosa.
