"Peng peng peng..."
To Enel's astonishment, the guards who had surrounded him fell one after another, their clothes inexplicably torn with countless tiny tears.
"Hey! Boss, your Conqueror's Haki is getting stronger and stronger!" Tesoro said with a grin.
Bullet secretly compared them again, and realized that Roy's Conqueror's Haki was indeed stronger than his.
Enel stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him; Roy's Conqueror's Haki had left an indelible mark on his heart.
Remembering the group's contempt for God when he mentioned Him, and then looking at Roy in front of me.
"You... how... did you do that?"
"Power. If you possess power, then you could become the god of the Sky Island."
"So, can you take us to the temple now?"
Roy extended his hand to him, his tone tempting. Although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit undoubtedly belonged to Tesoro, it was tempting to approach Enel, who possessed considerable talent.
Roy certainly wanted to get him on board, and if necessary, he could find him a Logia Devil Fruit. With Enel's talent, he could develop it quite well.
Roy wanted to bring Enel onto the ship because he sensed Observation Haki in him.
Yes, this is the first person Roy has discovered who has Awakening Observation Haki at such a young age.
As Enel saw Roy's outstretched hand, his heart began to pound with inner turmoil.
"Can... can I also possess power?"
"Certainly!!"
Roy brushed Enel's head, leaving him with a resolute expression.
Perhaps it was the desire for power, the urgency to change the status quo, that ultimately overcame hesitation and vigilance.
Ignoring the giant hand above his head, Enel silently turned around and whispered, "... Come with me."
He led the way, his steps firm.
Roy gestured for his companions to follow. Although Bullet and the others were somewhat puzzled by Roy's attention to this skinny kid, they still chose to trust his judgment.
Led by Enel, the group traversed a dense jungle and arrived at an ancient building surrounded by several massive stone pillars.
The temple was surrounded by various vines and strange statues, exuding an air of mystery.
There are still traces of worship by the residents of Birka at the entrance of the temple.
"This is it. It's said that... there are things left behind by the gods inside, and no one dares to go in except for those who perform sacrifices."
I only found out that the fruit in the photo was inside when no one was around.
"Well done, Enel."
Roy nodded and took the lead towards the temple entrance, with Bullet and the others following suit.
Enel watched Roy and the others walk into the temple without hesitation, then turned back to look at Birka, the one who had brought him countless humiliations.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he chose to follow.
Roy, walking ahead, smiled as he sensed Enel catching up behind him. His ship would soon have another promising crew member.
He's still too young, but I have plenty of time to wait for him to grow up.
The interior of the temple appears even more profound and magnificent than the exterior, with murals on both sides depicting numerous winged figures.
Roy looked at the records on the murals; it seemed this was the origin of the Skypieans.
The moon? I'd really like to go up there and see it if I had the chance.
According to Roy's understanding, after Enel was defeated by Luffy, he went to the moon and encountered space pirates there.
Thinking about this, Roy felt that the world was becoming increasingly complex, and perhaps the King of the World, ' Imu, ' might actually be from outer space.
The discovery of a mysterious power in this world sparked a massive war eight hundred years ago. Using alien technology, they seized the throne of this world, establishing the current maritime order.
However, all of this is too far away for Roy. For now, he should first obtain the fruit and then work hard to improve his strength. As long as he is strong enough, perhaps one day in the future he will be able to discover the secrets of this world.
The group passed through the last archway and arrived at the deepest part of the temple.
In the center of the altar stands a statue resembling Skypieans, with a fruit in each of its raised hands and an ancient stone box atop its crown.
How can there be two fruits?
Roy raised his hand, and the three items on the statue slowly floated to his front.
"Boss, why are there two? Which one is the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
Tesoro was the most eager of them all. He had waited a full four years for this fruit. Do you know how he spent those four years? Do you know?
Roy knew he was in a hurry, but he still waved his hand to tell him not to rush, and took the fruit illustration from Pea and compared them one by one.
Yes! This golden fruit, covered in Inazuma- shaped patterns, is undoubtedly the strongest Logia — the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
He handed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to Tesoro.
Roy then carefully compared the snow-white fruit, which resembled a dragon fruit from Earth and had raised patterns on its surface like clouds.
Sure enough, the fruit was quickly found in the Logia category of the encyclopedia.
"What a pleasant surprise!"
Roy looked at the Cloud-Cloud Fruit in his hand.
Just as Roy was rejoicing over the unexpected reward...
"Boom!!"
The entire temple was filled with Inazuma. Except for Enel, who was protected by Bullet to avoid being hit by the scattered arcs of electricity, everyone else used Armament Haki to protect themselves.
Tesoro was suddenly engulfed in a powerful electric current, causing him to levitate uncontrollably.
"Sizzle--" A thick bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, striking the temple wall. The entire temple shook violently, and a lot of dust fell down.
"Bang!"
Roy flicked his finger, Tesoro, who was in mid-air, crashed to the ground.
"I say, Tesoro, I know you're happy right now, but also take a look at where we are now,"
"Do you want to tear down the temple and bury us all inside?"
"Hehe!" Tesoro got up from the ground and looked at his companions around him embarrassedly.
Enel stared in disbelief at the scene before him. This Blue Sea People had gained such terrifying power after eating that fruit!
He turned to look at the snow-white fruit in Roy's hand, his eyes almost overflowing with longing.
Roy carefully put away the design blueprints for the Ark Maxim before looking at Enel, whose eyes were burning with fervor.
" Enel, do you see this? This is power."
Do you want it?
Roy placed the Logia Cloud-Cloud Fruit in Enel's hand, looking at the excited Enel.
"Did you really give it to me?"
Enel couldn't believe it; Roy had simply given him the fruit.
"Eat it. After you eat, you'll follow us, but..."
Roy changed the subject, crouched down to look him in the eye,
"You possess extraordinary talent. I can sense the hidden power within you, especially your keen perception (referring to Observation Haki )."
Power gained through external means has its limits; true strength originates from within.
As he spoke, Roy extended his finger and gently touched Enel's forehead.
A pure spiritual energy, mixed with the training methods of the Six Powers and the detailed concepts and guidance techniques of the two types of Haki, slowly entered Enel's mind.
Roy withdrew his finger, his expression becoming more serious.
"Cultivate diligently and develop your own power. Devil Fruit are powerful, but relying too much on external aids will prevent you from becoming strong."
Enel nodded vigorously, taking Roy's words to heart.
For the first time, he clearly saw the future—a future where he would no longer be bullied and could control his own destiny through his own strength!
Roy stood up and said to his companions, "We have achieved our goal and it's time to leave. Next, we'll go and meet this top expert on the high seas."
