The Navy decided to blame Fisher Tiger for the Mary Geoise uprising and issue a separate bounty for the unknown swordsman who injured Borsalino.

• Enel accepted Lin Yuan's offer but promised to challenge him again once he had grown stronger.

• A hissing sound suddenly rang out as Lin Yuan and Enel admired the City of Gold.

Lin Yuan found the City of Gold and sent Enel down to explore while he watched the giant serpent known as the Lord of Shandora. The serpent attacked Enel, and their fight began as Lin Yuan observed from above.

• Lin Yuan spotted the City of Gold and guessed that the Golden Bell and Poneglyph were in the giant tree, but he focused on a dark shape nearby instead.
• Lin Yuan hid his aura, and the Lord of Shandora emerged and crept toward Enel as he searched through the gold.
• The Lord of Shandora lunged at Enel, but Enel turned into lightning and dodged its bite just in time.
• Enel struck the serpent with his 1 Million Volt: Discharge, but the attack only made it stiffen briefly and enraged it.
• Lin Yuan watched from his Flame Clouds as Enel realized that his attack had barely affected the giant serpent.

Enel fought the Lord of Shandora, first blasting it with lightning and then shocking it at close range until his stamina ran low. After Enel pierced its eye with a makeshift golden spear, the wounded beast launched a dying counterattack, and Lin Yuan appeared to protect the helpless Enel.

• Enel struck the Lord of Shandora with a massive Thunder Ball, but the blast only wounded the giant snake and damaged Shandora’s gold.
• Enel clung to the Lord of Shandora’s broken scale and repeatedly shocked it until the beast was badly burned and Enel ran out of stamina.

• As the Lord of Shandora charged at the injured Enel, Lin Yuan appeared in front of him and reached for his sword.

• Lin Yuan told Enel he planned to return to the Blue Sea and advised him to learn Haki and train his body.
• Lin Yuan ordered Enel to gather and smelt Shandora’s gold into cubes, then began roasting the Lord of Shandora’s meat.

Lin Yuan collected Shandora’s gold with Enel and learned that Enel knew how to build a flying ship, prompting him to plan a trip to Water 7 for help with the design. After establishing Peace Day and joint rule on Sky Island, Lin Yuan departed for the Blue Sea with Enel and ten gold blocks.
