Enel Descends to the Sea / The Lord's Command
"Ha~ I'm sleepy. That guy is badly injured, he definitely can't interfere with our operations. Let's go back."
On the other side.
Dimon had been keeping a close eye on his subordinates' actions, also turned his gaze away.
To be honest, the method of directly stealing Devil Fruit abilities from a Devil Fruit user...
Some!
"Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach knew this method, but how exactly he did it was never revealed before his time travel.
But Dimon speculated that this might require a special Devil Fruit, the Logia Dark-Dark Fruit.
"There is no information whatsoever about the fruit's current location, and..."
Dimon recalled the plot he watched back then.
Blackbeard once said, "This Devil Fruit chose me!"
Perhaps, like the Gum-Gum Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit will choose its own host.
Chapter 89 Enel to Sea
It's rare for Devil Fruit to choose a suitable master on its own.
For example, the Gum-Gum Fruit, also known as the "Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nika".
For eight hundred years since the World Government was established, it has been searching for this divine fruit, but it has escaped every time.
The specifics of how they "escaped" remain unknown.
If the Dark-Dark Fruit has a similar mechanism, the only way to obtain it is to wait.
We'll wait for the day the Whitebeard Pirates get their hands on it, and then snatch it from Blackbeard.
However, this is based on Dimon's speculation. Whether the Dark-Dark Fruit truly has a similar mechanism cannot be determined solely by Blackbeard's statement.
"Perhaps we can find a suitable opportunity to ask Blackbeard directly..."
As I pondered, Ain's words echoed in my mind.
[Master, Mammon has obtained a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.]
"Huh? So fast? How did he get it?" Dimon asked in surprise.
[He was previously dispatched to the Sengoku to escort the Heavenly Tribute, and just departed from Marine Headquarters today. Before leaving, he used the excuse of requesting a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.]
"A perfectly legitimate application..." Dimon understood perfectly well. The Devil Fruit Encyclopedia wasn't some extremely important secret, and given Mammon's current status in the Navy, getting a copy wouldn't be a problem for him.
Is it complete?
[I'm not sure, but it probably isn't. It lists over 300 types of Devil Fruits, including 147 Paramecia, 183 Zoan, 11 Logia- type, and 6 Mythical Zoan.]
There are only 6 Mythical Zoan.
However, Dimon knew of more than six Mythical Zoan, so this was clearly not the complete book, but only an incomplete one.
"It's okay, just send the video over."
The next moment, images flashed through Dimon's mind.
In the warship's lounge, Mammon sat alone on the sofa, silently flipping through Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
The encyclopedia not only includes pictures of the relevant Devil Fruits, but also descriptions of their abilities, information on some of the users who have consumed them, and their respective achievements.
Finally, there is a note from the compilers of the illustrated guide, who wrote corresponding evaluations for each fruit.
While Dimon was reading the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
On the other side, in the Sky Island Land of Gods.
The Seven Deadly Sins' operation went very smoothly. After Enel was defeated and forced to flee, their gold-gathering efforts were virtually unimpeded.
The only resistance they offered was against the gold-mining team's divine soldiers in the ruins of the City of Gold.
These combatants were insignificant in front of Samael and were easily dealt with.
Furthermore, even a portion of the gold that Enel had collected and transported to build the Ark Maxim was found.
The factory for building the Ark was located in a cave. With the guidance of the former god Gan Fall, the place was easily discovered, and Lycaon then notified the others to meet there.
At this moment, inside the vast cave...
The Ark Maxim is taking shape; the hull's framework is complete, and some sections are crafted from gold.
"So, why did that guy use gold to build the ship?" Lycaon didn't understand. "You can't eat that stuff."
Bethany tried to guess, "Enel is Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and gold can conduct electricity, so he probably wants to build a ship powered by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, right?"
Having said that, she turned to Sigma and asked:
"Lord Sigma, shall we take the ship with us, or...?"
"The ship's hull has only just been laid; there's no use taking it. Let's dismantle it. Let's finish the mission quickly and head back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spewed flames, burning the Ark Maxim, which was under construction, to ashes.
The wooden hull was burned to ashes, while the gold inside was melted.
After working for a while, everyone finally moved the gold away.
Before leaving, Lycaon returned Pegasus to Gan Fall, showing a hint of reluctance.
"Here you go, old man. Thank you for leading us here."
Gan Fall is still in a daze. These Blue Sea People actually defeated Enel?
He didn't witness the actual battle, but if Enel hadn't been defeated, he would definitely have sensed what was happening here and wouldn't have allowed these people to run rampant.
The fact that the other party hasn't shown up yet makes the outcome self-evident.
Gan Fall, with a complicated expression, reminded him:
"Be careful. You've destroyed Enel's fortifications and stolen the gold; he won't let you off easily."
Upon hearing this, Lycaon's mouth curled into a wide grin.
"Guys with his strength are plentiful in the Blue Sea. Goodbye, old man."
And remember, my name is Lycaon, I'm a wolf, not a dog!
After saying goodbye, the group, carrying the gold, departed aboard the Wave-Breaking Warrior.
It took Gan Fall a long time to come back to his senses as he watched the airship sail away.
"The Seven Deadly Sins, Lycaon... doesn't he just look like a dog's head?"
At the same time.
The God's Island, the Temple.
Bang!
Enel slammed his fist on the table in front of him, his face ashen.
His Mantra could clearly perceive everything that happened in the cave; those bastards had destroyed his ship and his dreams.
Unforgivable!
In his anger, Enel only raged for a moment.
He's like a helpless husband now, just watching and unable to do anything.
"Damn Blue Sea People! The Seven Deadly Sins?"
Enel's body crackled with electricity, revealing his inner turmoil.
The priests below trembled, kneeling on the ground, not daring to move. It was the first time they had ever seen a "god" so angry.
"Lord Enel...?" one of the priests mustered his courage and asked in a low voice, "What do we do next?"
"The ship can be rebuilt, but the gold must be taken back!"
Enel clenched his fists, his face filled with resentment, "That dragon actually ignored my elemental body and directly injured my true form..."
Enel felt a sense of fear towards the unknown power.
This had never happened before, and he had no idea why.
Normally, he could use the Mantra to read the inner thoughts of the Seven Deadly Sins and glimpse this secret.
But now...
He dared not move recklessly, fearing that the pink dragon would target him and come knocking on his door.
"Blue Sea! There must be someone in the Blue Sea who knows this secret!"
Enel isn't a coward; who could swallow such humiliation?
He abruptly stood up and gave an order to the priests:
"Prepare the boats, I'm going down to the mortal realm to go to the Blue Sea!"
"Yes, Enel!"
Wave-Breaking Warrior.
The Seven Deadly Sins gathered on the deck, gazing at the numerous golden figures suspended above them by Flame Clouds.
"This number..." The Ship Zuizui gaped open. "Isn't it too much? There's simply no room on the boat."
All the gold was melted down into a giant golden sphere, which was over twenty meters in diameter.
The clever pirates simply used the density formula for gold to immediately estimate its weight and volume.
But it's clear that the Seven Deadly Sins are all illiterate; they only know that there's a lot of gold, so much that the ship can't hold it all.
"Let's leave it like this for now. I can keep it going; it won't fall into the sea."
"What if you fall unconscious?" Ship Zuizui was even more worried. "Once you lose consciousness, your abilities will be passively deactivated, and then the gold will fall."
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Wait a minute, am I going to fall too?!"
I suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Let's report to the master first," Bethany, shaking her head with amusement.
So the group exchanged glances, Samael, without hesitation, began to pray:
"Great and wise Lord, I pray to you..."
Chapter 90 The Lord's Command
"Great and wise Lord, I beseech you, I beseech you to turn your gaze upon this place."
"Your faithful servant Samael has gathered enough gold for you; please give your next instructions."
This guy took all the credit for himself?
Sigma utterly despised those fools who tried to deceive the Lord.
Lycaon adopted a devout expression, already pondering what to eat later.
Bethany simply smiled and remained silent, letting Samael do as he pleased.
A moment later, Ain's voice rang out:
"Master heard you, but Samael, don't you feel embarrassed to put on this show every time?"
"Hmph, this is a necessary ritual! A sense of ritual, do you even understand that? You mere lowly demon, what do you know?"
Samael scoffed.
The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this!
