Faced with Enel's provocation as he prodded the mask with his Golden Staff,
The eyes behind the Ram Skull Mask remained utterly calm, as though it were not his own face being touched.
The CP Agents beside him, however, could not tolerate such gross disrespect toward a member of God's Knights!
This was nothing short of trampling on the World Government's dignity! Especially in front of a pack of its "dogs" like them.
"Insolence!"
"Enel! Lower your weapon at once!"
"You dare disrespect him! Do you want the World Government to erase you completely?!"
The agents barked rebukes one after another. Some even instinctively drew their weapons and aimed their guns at Enel, though they knew full well that it might be pointless.
Faced with the clamor of these "mortals," Enel did not restrain himself. Instead, he grew even more brazen.
Rather than withdrawing his Golden Staff, he treated the mask like a musical instrument.
He tapped its cold surface a few more times with the end of his staff-tap, tap, tap-his face brimming with amusement and mockery.
His eyes shifted slightly, sweeping over the battle-ready CP Agents from the corners of his vision.
"You're too loud, small fry," he said arrogantly, as though shooing away a swarm of buzzing flies.
"In the presence of God..." Enel's voice abruptly rose, carrying an absolute authority that brooked no question.
"You have no right to speak!"
The instant his words fell-HUM!!!!
An immense wave of pale-blue energy erupted from Enel with explosive force!
It was not lightning, but Conqueror's Haki-a manifestation of pure spiritual pressure!
Though this Haki lacked the crushing dominance of Gern's, which seemed capable of bringing the heavens and earth crashing down,
it was sharp and unrestrained, filled with Enel's unique, godlike arrogance and air of judgment!
**Thud! Thud!
