Zoro instinctively covered his hands with Armament Haki and held them horizontally in front of him.
"Rip!"
As the sound of thunderous explosions rang out, Zoro's entire body trembled violently.
After a commotion, Zoro was completely charred by electricity, and his body began to sway unsteadily.
After staggering a few steps, Zoro finally collapsed, lying on the ground gasping for breath.
Zoro felt a tingling, throbbing pain throughout his body. If he hadn't used Armament Haki to defend himself, he might have already lost consciousness.
Enel wasn't in much better shape either, standing there panting heavily, while blood continued to seep from the wound on his chest.
Enel had a thought, and lightning covered the wound. Gradually, the bleeding stopped, but the hideous scar remained.
Enel walked towards Zoro step by step.
"You're quite good. You're only the second person to inflict this kind of injury on me. You have every reason to be proud!"
A moment later, Enel arrived in front of Zoro, raising his staff.
" Thunder Metallurgy!"
A torrent of lightning surged from Enel's hands, engulfing the club in his grasp.
Gradually, under the influence of the lightning, the staff began to change shape, eventually forming a trident. Then it was pointed at Zoro.
Die!
Suddenly, a fist appeared in front of Enel, causing his pupils to shrink involuntarily.
"Bang!"
Enel's body flew backward like a meteor, crashing into countless trees along the way.
A figure approached Zoro and asked, " Zoro, are you alright?"
"Ah! I'm not dead yet!" Zoro chuckled lightly.
"The rest is up to you, Luffy!"
"Alright! Leave it to me!" Luffy shouted, punching and clapping his hands together.
After saying that, Luffy walked towards the direction where Enel had fallen.
"Phew~"
Zoro lay on the ground and closed his eyes. Now that Luffy was here, he didn't need to worry about the rest.
Thinking this, Zoro's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and then he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
Zoro's move caused Xia Chen, who was watching from a tree nearby, to twitch at the corner of his mouth.
You're really carefree, Zoro!
Xia Chen Zoro shortly after Zoro and Enel began their battle and has been watching Enel fight ever since.
So even if Luffy hadn't come, Zoro wouldn't have been killed.
Xia Chen jumped down from the tree and slowly walked towards Zoro's location.
As he walked over to Zoro, he took out a chair and sat down. Then, with a thought, a table instantly appeared in front of him.
There's no other way. Given Zoro's current state, he could be killed if Enel accidentally struck him with lightning. So, the vice-captain has to work a little harder.
After a while~
Xia Chen sipped his freshly brewed tea, his gaze fixed on the battlefield between Luffy and Enel, silently calculating in his mind.
With Luffy's current strength, plus his constitution that counters the Rumble -Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel probably won't last long!
Actually, if Luffy weren't immune to lightning attacks, his performance against Enel wouldn't have been much better than Zoro's.
But there's nothing he can do; his Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika too powerful.
If Enel's lightning attacks become ineffective, at least 90% of his abilities will be reduced. After all, most of his techniques are based on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
As expected, under Luffy's attack, Enel was forced to retreat and kept coughing up blood.
Enel was going crazy. Why were all the people who had appeared lately able to touch his Logia physical form?
The first person to be beaten was like a son, leaving him completely powerless to resist; his movements were so subtle they couldn't even be seen.
The second one was a bit better. Although I also ran into him and he suffered quite a bit of a loss, it was still within acceptable limits, since I could beat him.
As for the third one, Enel only has one thing to say.
This is outrageous! His mother opened the door for him! This is just too outrageous!
His lightning was completely ineffective against this person, who was utterly immune. Was he even trying to fight? What was the point of him even trying?
But even in his despair, he found a glimmer of hope: the person in front of him wasn't moving faster than he could react to.
Thinking this, Enel quickly transformed into lightning, creating some distance between himself and the enemy, then closed his eyes and uttered a soft voice:
" Mantra!"
After Enel activated his Mantra, Luffy's attacks were easily dodged.
Seeing this, Luffy's eyes narrowed, and he murmured, " Observation Haki?"
After muttering to himself, a hint of excitement appeared in Luffy's eyes. Enel's strength was just right for him, unlike Xia Chen, whose strength was too far behind.
That would be perfect as his sparring partner; it might even help him master Observation Haki.
Thinking of this, Luffy became even more excited and attacked Enel again.
After dodging Luffy's attacks several times, Enel realized he couldn't continue like this; if he did, he would only be able to passively take hits.
As Enel dodged Luffy's attack once again, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing behind Luffy and then slamming his staff down on him.
Luffy was sent flying, but he got up in less than a second after landing, looked at Enel and smiled faintly, "An attack of your strength has no effect on me!"
"If striking is ineffective, then how about a slash?"
As he spoke, Enel's staff transformed back into a trident, and he swung it fiercely at Luffy.
And just as he expected, Luffy's next move brought a smile to his face.
As soon as Luffy saw the trident coming at him, he immediately dodged to the side.
Enel laughed loudly, "Hahaha... it seems your weakness really is slashing!"
"That's right!" Luffy admitted earnestly.
Seeing this scene, Enel felt a sudden urge to cry.
"It's been tough, but we finally see a glimmer of hope for victory!"
God knows what he went through. In just one day, he went from being a god who thought he was invincible to an experience monster that anyone could come up and fight.
However... not everyone can use him as a stepping stone. If you want to use him as a stepping stone, you have to be prepared to be killed by him!
Enel's eyes gradually turned fierce as he gripped his trident tightly and charged towards Luffy.
Luffy kept dodging the tridents that were constantly thrusting at him. He was actually capable of counterattacking, but he wanted to learn about Observation Haki from this battle.
That's why I kept dodging instead of attacking.
Gradually, Luffy became more and more skilled and relaxed in dodging.
At one point, Luffy even closed his eyes, but he was still able to dodge all of Enel's attacks.
(#°Д°)!
Enel:???
