Being beaten on the defensive, Sakazuki was furious now. As an admiral of the Marines, he was actually being suppressed by a pirate; it was simply a supreme humiliation.
Yet he had no way out, and Sakazuki had never felt as powerless as he did now.
On the other side, Onigumo and the other four vice admirals were also encountering huge trouble. Needless to say, Fujitora was a handful, while Enel, relying on his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, was handling the battle against them with ease.
He had to admit that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was truly a bug in the system. Speed, explosive power, lethality, penetration, offense, and defense—one could say this fruit basically fulfilled everyone's fantasies about Devil Fruits.
In the original history, Enel possessed a top-tier fruit and super-strong Observation Haki, but in the end, he was ruthlessly defeated by Monkey D. Luffy and went up to the moon.
This was a major pity, because the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was, after all, a top-tier Logia fruit no weaker than those of the three admirals.
And now, Enel, this god from Sky Island, bringing his fruit, was finally blooming with his brilliance on this vast sea.
Regardless of the battle's outcome, after today, Enel would make a name for himself across the seas, letting the world know of his existence.
"Blood Sword master Ryan, today I will definitely kill you!" Noting that the marine warship below had been hit by a laser cannon and those brave marines were successively starting to rescue their companions who had fallen into the water, Sakazuki could no longer hold back.
"Then come and try!" Ryan showed not a shred of weakness. After blocking Sakazuki's attack with a single sword, he smiled faintly.
He could feel it: although very faint, Sakazuki's attacks were indeed a bit weaker
