After agonizing over it for quite a while, Gan Fall ultimately failed to bring himself to ask Xie Wen for help.
The psychological scars Enel had left on him ran too deep. Back then, he had been defeated before he could even really react, so Gan Fall simply could not imagine anyone capable of beating Enel. Nor did he want to drag these uninvolved Blue Sea People and adorable little kitties into the Skypieans' affairs.
