Bellamy's eyes widened as if he'd seen a ghost. "No way. Does the Rumble-Rumble Fruit really exist in this world?"
"If it does, who could possibly beat him? It's impossible!"

"You're right. If our opponent ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he's no ordinary threat."
"Lightning moves so fast that we wouldn't be able to hit him in a fight."

Enel sat on his throne, his face stricken with terror. It was as though
