With the Child of Destiny's aura and a Devil Fruit ability that countered his natural enemy...
Enel, God of Sky Island and God of Thunder, had been eliminated just like that.
Now Enel needed to be sent down to the sea to compete with the legendary Conqueror's Luck—Lord Buggy—for a man. And that man was Shanks.
Naturally, Adrian would not begrudge using one of his many Devil Fruits to train this apprentice of his.
Enel had awakened Two-Color Haki on his own, so he certainly had talent.
But compared with Shanks, that Golden Leek blessed with an Advanced Luck Aura, he still fell somewhat short.
If Adrian wanted to make up the difference, he would have to give Enel an unfair advantage.
Eating a Devil Fruit would give him a weakness to seawater, but overall, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
Otherwise, Devil Fruit Users would not inspire so much envy.
Unfortunately, Adrian still had not found the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
He had been using Golden Experience Requiem and Divination together, along with other methods, to search for clues to its location, but had come up empty-handed.
Otherwise, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that fate had intended for Enel would surely have brought the little Long-Eared Bandit's strength to its peak.
After all, in the original story, Enel had already developed his fruit's powers to an impressive degree!
For now, Adrian could only offer him one of the Devil Fruits he had in stock.
That assumed, of course, that Enel was willing to eat one.
If Enel refused a Devil Fruit of his own accord, as Shanks had, Adrian would not force one on him.
"A Devil Fruit?"
Enel looked at Adrian in puzzlement.
"You mean the strange powers you and Robin have, Master? Like controlling ghosts or sprouting arms?"
