"You guess?"

After saying that, Zoro charged towards Enel without hesitation.

Enel, seeing that this Blue Sea People showed him no respect whatsoever, felt a surge of anger. He spoke with murderous intent:

"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"I was just careless just now. Otherwise, do you think you would have had a chance to attack me? I'm Thunder!"

With that, Enel's figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.

Zoro slammed on the brakes and came to a stop, scanning his surroundings.

The next moment!

" El Thor!"

As Enel's voice rang out, a massive pillar of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.

Zoro's expression changed, and he immediately rolled to the side.

But before he could rest for a moment, countless bolts of lightning attacked him again.

Zoro narrowed his eyes, instantly coating his sword with Armament Haki, and held it horizontally in front of him.

"Boom!"

Zoro was sent flying, crashing heavily into a tree and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He looked up at Enel, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Enel's lightning was too fast; with his strength, it would be difficult for him to dodge it unless he mastered Observation Haki, which would allow him to anticipate his opponent's movements and evade them.

The problem is that he feels he's only one step away from mastering Observation Haki, but he just can't seem to break through that one step no matter what he does.

However, his attacks rarely hit Enel, which is also a problem.

Zoro knew that Enel was right; he had been careless and let Enel cut him down because he was overconfident in the Logia power of his Devil Fruit.

Later, once he realized that Zoro's attacks could hit him, it became much more difficult for Zoro to land a hit on him.

On the contrary, Zoro's injuries kept increasing. If it weren't for his Armament Haki helping him withstand the damage, he would have been knocked unconscious after being electrocuted so many times.

Thinking of this, Zoro stood up, took a deep breath, sheathed all his swords, and closed his eyes.

Enel's attack range is too large and his speed is too fast; to dodge it, one must master Observation Haki.

Zoro couldn't help but recall what Xia Chen had said when he taught him Observation Haki, sensing the breaths of the life around him.

Enel watched as Zoro closed his eyes and sneered, "What, you know you're no match for me, so you're planning to accept your fate?"

"If you can tell me why you were able to hit me, I might take pity on you and consider letting you go!"

After Enel finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time. Zoro remained standing quietly with his eyes closed, ignoring what he had said.

Enel's expression gradually darkened as time passed.

Half a minute later, he lost all patience with Zoro, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Since you're not going to speak, then don't speak. Wait until you're in hell to repent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Enel gently touched the Thunder Drum behind him.

Instantly, lightning spread out from it, gradually forming the shape of a bird.

"30 million volts, Thunderbird!"

"Hahaha... Die, you blasphemers from Blue Sea People!"

The giant thunderbird flew towards Zoro at incredible speed, carrying with it the power to destroy everything in its path.

As the Thunderbird closed the distance between itself and Zoro, the sense of oppression grew stronger. But Zoro remained standing still without making a move.

At one point, Zoro, with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a glimmer of light in the darkness.

The image of a Thunderbird came to mind.

He saw it!!!

Zoro immediately opened his eyes, a hint of a smile flashing in them.

Observation Haki, Awakening!

Although Zoro has now Awakening Observation Haki, the Thunderbird is now very close to him, and with his current speed, he simply cannot dodge it.

But Zoro showed no panic, his hand resting on the hilt of his Wado Ichimonji sword.

The next moment, Zoro narrowed his eyes and flashed away.

" One Sword Style: Iaijutsu - Death - Lion's Song!"

Enel's Thunderbird was split in two, and lightning scattered, continuously striking the surrounding land and trees.

"How is this possible?"

Enel stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

His Thunderbird was actually cleaved in two with a single strike; this move had always been ineffective against him.

After a long silence, Enel looked at Zoro with serious eyes.

"It seems... you're a worthy opponent!"

After saying that, Enel struck another Thunder Drum behind him and said calmly:

"60 million volts, Thunder Dragon!"

This time, Zoro used his Observation Haki to anticipate Enel's movements and easily dodged Enel's Thunder Dragon with a dodge.

Zoro's move once again left Enel speechless, his face turning grim as he exclaimed, " Mantra!"

At this moment, Enel understood why Zoro had closed his eyes and waited to die earlier; it turned out that he was trying to Awakening Zoro's Mantra through stimulation.

Enel's face looked like he'd eaten shit, especially when he thought about how he'd just been mocking Zoro for waiting to die; he felt like a complete clown.

Being used as a tool by others and still feeling smug about it is shameful!

Enel stared intently at Zoro and said, "So what if you 'Awakening your Mantra? You can't even touch me. That alone puts me in an invincible position!"

"Furthermore... even if you possess the Mantra, it's useless if you can't dodge at all. My lightning attack covers a range wide enough to completely block any path you can take. You can't possibly be my match!"

"Is that so?" A slight smile appeared on Zoro's lips.

"Then let's give it a try!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zoro shot off like an arrow.

Enel watched Zoro rushing towards him and slowly raised his hand.

"80 million volts, Discharge!"

Countless powerful bolts of lightning erupted from Enel's hands, covering an area of dozens of meters around him, leaving Zoro no room to dodge.

Zoro continued charging forward, his eyes narrowing.

" 108 Pound Phoenix!"

The sword energy obliterated all the lightning in Zoro's path, clearing a path for him.

"What?"

Enel's expression changed drastically.

" Oni Giri!"

Zoro's figure flashed past Enel in an instant.

The next second, a large wound suddenly appeared on Enel's body, blood splattering everywhere, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Phew~"

After unleashing the Oni Giri Zoro felt his body go limp and almost collapsed to the ground; he was quite exhausted.

"How was that move?"

Zoro turned his head with a faint smile, and then sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

"One hundred million volts, Discharge!"
