"Enough talk!!!" Enel's roar shattered the heavens. In his Thunder God Form, he was like Heavenly Punishment incarnate.
He threw a punch, and savage lightning poured down like a flood bursting through a dam!
Blinding blue-white light swallowed the entire sky, and the air warped and vaporized in the intense heat.
Boom! Wherever the lightning passed, the ground split open, rocks instantly vaporized, and dazzling plasma swept over everything like a colossal wave!
And yet.
"Just right... five seconds left." Gern's voice carried clearly through the thunderous roar.
The next second, his figure vanished.
It was not movement taken to the limits of speed!
He had truly disappeared!
Buzz!! Tremor Flash activated, and Gern darted through the Thunderbolt like a phantom.
Every Molecular-Level Flash slipped precisely into the gaps between the bolts, as though he had already predicted every attack's trajectory!
Enel's pupils abruptly contracted.
"Your lightning is powerful..." Gern's voice shifted from left to right, like the whisper of the Grim Reaper. "But if it can't hit, it's meaningless."
"Your talent for Observation Haki is impressive..." Another Tremor Flash sent the Thunderbolt grazing past his clothes without leaving so much as a scorch mark. "But you haven't focused on developing it."
"You call yourself a 'god'..." Gern suddenly appeared directly in front of Enel, their gazes meeting within a thousandth of a second. "Yet you don't even understand the basics of combat."
Every word struck Enel's heart like a heavy hammer!
"Enough!!!!" Enel lost control completely. His Thunder God Form swelled wildly, and endless lightning erupted from within him.
All of Birka trembled beneath his fury. The clouds tore apart, and the atmosphere wailed!
"I am a god!!"
"A god could never fight like a mortal!!!"
"Is that so?" Gern suddenly appeared within arm's reach.
Enel froze.
When?!
