Chapter 36: I lost to an idiot - One Piece: I Can See Skill Proficiency, So I Became a Legend

"Elementalization is completely useless in front of him, and then I experienced the first mental breakdown of my life."

"Enraged, I unleashed my ultimate move, but it was all for naught as he pinned me to the ground and rubbed me back and forth, before eventually planting a 'bomb' inside my brain."

"In the end, he forcefully jizzed—oh no, I mean forcefully took me away. I was terrified, considering he's a brute who can beat me up at any moment."

"Yet today, I realized how terribly wrong I was!"

"Facing the morning sun, the very first thing he said to me was, 'Strike me!' The second was, 'Come on, use your Rumble-Rumble Fruit to strike me!'"

"My worldview was warped by him. Was this guy out of his mind? Then I tentatively unleashed a 10 Million Volts Raigo, and that guy didn't even dodge it—he took my attack head-on with his bare head!"

"That was 10 Million Volts! It was enough to blast a Sea Beast to death! Yet that bastard actually took it with his head! Is he stupid?"

"I'm the stupid one!"

"I actually lost to an idiot!"

"As a god, I feel my face burning fiercely. How could I have ever lost at his hands?"

Bathed in the lightning glow, Dongze paid no heed to Enel's reaction whatsoever. Feeling a tingling numbness travel straight from his crown to his soles, he couldn't help trembling all over. Good grief, he almost climaxed on the spot. (This scene is purely fictional; do not imitate.)

Then, glancing back at the Thunderclap Sword Intent column on his panel, he found no change. Dongze's expression darkened, and with a grit of his teeth, he spoke to Enel once more.

"Again! Increase the power this time!"

A trace of eerie light flashed in Enel's eyes. Watching Dongze, who stood in midair by some unknown method, he felt as though something inside his heart had been violently yanked, making him feel as though he were floating.

Such a request was something he had never heard of in all his life!

To think someone would actually ask to be beaten, and in such an inhumane way at that.

Moreover, he was a stationary, live target who had beaten him up previously and was now standing completely still, letting himself be struck.

To him, it felt as though his father's murderer were standing right in front of him, saying, "Go ahead! I won't fight back!"

"Eighty Million Volts, Thunder Dragon!!"

A clawing, baring Thunder Dragon abruptly materialized in midair, instantly lunging toward Dongze with a heaven-destroying momentum.

Even the space around it trembled slightly. Clearly, Enel had pushed far beyond his usual limits with this strike.

That Thunder Dragon was definitely way beyond Eighty Million Volts.

It might even exceed 100 Million Volts—or to put it in common parlance, it was overloaded.

Gazing at the ferocious Thunder Dragon, Dongze's expression shifted. Feeling the terrifying pressure radiating all around, he couldn't help glancing at Enel.

Good grief, you call this Eighty Million Volts? Damn it, if I hadn't experienced 200 Million Volts: Amaru, I almost would've believed you.

Dongze flashed out of the way with a speed Enel couldn't even comprehend, dodging the Thunder Dragon and leaving Enel's mind in a daze.

This only gave him a completely new assessment of Dongze's speed.

"Boss?"

"Do you want to kill me?"

"I want to—no, I mean, didn't you ask to increase the output?"

Dongze's eyelid twitched. "I said step-by-step, increasing it slowly—surely you could understand that? Was that a slow increase? It increased by way more than ten times! Do you really dare call that Thunder Dragon eighty million volts? If it's under a hundred million, I'll do a handstand and shit diarrhea!"

Called out on the spot by Dongze, Enel felt rather awkward inside, his face flushing red.

"Hehe! That was just an accident. Next time I will definitely control the voltage!"

"Next time? If there's a next time, I'll spar with you first and make damn sure you know why the flowers are so red!"

With that, taking advantage of Enel's lack of attention, Dongze landed a vicious blow straight on his head with a fist coated in Ryuo-grade Armament Haki.

In an instant, Enel's vision went black, and he was hammered directly into lightning elements, taking quite a while to reform his human shape.

After a long while, Enel's mentality suffered yet another breakdown, and he angrily demanded at the top of his lungs, "You bastard, what are you doing?"

His voice was laced with utter humiliation, sounding quite desperate and shrill.

"That's the Fist of Love. Don't ask why—I've been hammered by someone before too!"

Inside the cabin, Robin recalled the events of the previous night, her cheeks as red as a monkey's bottom. Her legs still felt weak to this day.

Then, her little face turned somewhat hesitant. In truth, Dongze hadn't only been up to some mischief last night.

He had also brought up some extraneous topics.

Some truly hair-raising, extraneous topics.

Thinking of Dongze, and of those words tied inextricably to her fate, her gaze began to grow somewhat complicated.

"Perhaps it's time to make a choice!"

Outside the cabin, Enel was behaving much more obediently now, yet with every single attack, he pushed himself to unleash the maximum destructive power he could muster, as if trying to blast the Blue Sea person before him into dust.

"20 Million Volts, Discharge!"

"30 Million Volts, Lightning Bird!"

"40 Million Volts, Discharge!"

On the training grounds, Dongze wore a grave expression. As the most destructive natural phenomenon in the world, the destructive power of natural lightning went without saying.

With Armament Haki to block them, enduring a few hits of 10 or 20 Million Volts was no big deal, but any higher than that, and he could genuinely feel the pressure.

As a means to an end, Haki could enhance defense, but it could not be increased without limit. If that were truly the case, people in the New World wouldn't need to compete in anything else; they'd just purely raise their Haki and turn on invincibility, wouldn't they?

Unfortunately, Armament Haki was not invincible. Once it broke through the upper limit of what it could endure, injuries would still occur.

His current proficiency in Armament Haki had broken through to 550k, and Observation Haki had reached 540k as well.

He had even unlocked Ryuo and the Voice of All Things.

Yet by his estimation, his current upper limit was around 100 Million Volts.

If Thunderclap Sword Intent still failed to unlock by the end of this, it would be a terribly frustrating trap.

When the discharge reached 60 Million Volts, Dongze kept his gaze firmly fixed on the panel, his previously calm heart suddenly rising into his throat.

"70 Million Volts, Discharge!"

At that moment, multicolored brilliance began to flicker across Dongze's body.

He unleashed Ryuo Haki, a faint layer of it coating the surface of his skin.

Dongze touched his body, assessing the level of Haki, and let out an involuntary, inward sigh.

Sure enough, sequential reinforcement still made a difference; the level of Haki on his hands right now could probably hold up against a 150 Million Volts attack.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He realized that fusing Iron Head Skill first wouldn't be a bad idea either—wouldn't the probability of the Thunderclap Sword Intent awakening be even higher now?

"Sigh! As expected! The old-timers' routines run pretty deep!"

Chapter 53 I lost to an idiot

"Come!!"

"Strike me with lightning!"

"My name is Enel, a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user. I used to be a god on Sky Island, living a carefree and unrestrained life, until just the day before yesterday, when I was hammered by a Blue Sea person!"
