Whitey Bay: "So that's exactly it. Even if someone eats one of the strongest Logia Devil Fruits, if they never go to the New World and properly see what that place is like, they'll still end up nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well."
Black Maria: "There are plenty of people in the New World who can use Haki. And among them are plenty who are especially skilled with it. With Enel's temperament, if he went to the New World, he probably wouldn't survive a single day."
Yamato: "What an idiot. He actually stood there and took a Haki-coated punch head-on. He deserved to get socked."
Kujaku: "But is Arton planning to step in now? Wasn't he supposed to leave taking care of Enel to Conis?"
Hina: "Did Arton change his mind?"
Smoothie: "Or maybe Arton realized that the power of Conis's Path is enough to contend with Enel, so he changed how he wants to handle it?"
Stussy: "No, I think Arton just hates Enel that much. So when Enel attacked him, he couldn't resist punching him."
Galette: "After all, once Enel dies later, he won't have the chance to keep hitting him."
On Skypiea, Wyper, Gan Fall, and the others, who had just arrived, stared in total shock at the sight of Enel getting blown away.
Wyper was so stunned that when Gan Fall landed beside him, he didn't even say anything nasty for once.
Instead, he was the one who opened his mouth first.
"Hey, former god of the sky island."
"Did you see that just now? Arton actually punched Enel and sent him flying?"
Wyper asked in total disbelief.
"Yeah, of course I saw it. I'm not blind yet."
"And not only that—I also saw Conis use lightning to block Enel's lightning."
Gan Fall nodded, just as shocked.
Lightning blocking lightning, that much he could still understand, but how had Arton's fist managed to hit Enel's lightning body?
Just now, Enel's body hadn't even turned into lightning.
At that moment, he had looked like a completely solid body.
Gan Fall still remembered the time he had fought Enel himself.
Back then, Enel had simply stood there and let Gan Fall thrust his spear straight into him, and yet the attack had done absolutely nothing.
Enel's body had parted on its own like water, letting the spear pass right through.
Not only had Gan Fall's attack failed completely, Enel's lightning had run up the spear and straight into his body.
It was humiliating, but as Skypiea's former god, that was how thoroughly he had lost.
Now, looking at Arton and Enel, Gan Fall suddenly had the strange feeling that he was witnessing a replay of his own old battle with Enel.
Only this time, the one who was going to lose miserably wasn't Arton.
It was Enel, Skypiea's current god.
"Could that be the thing Arton told us about before? The ability that can hit Devil Fruit users?"
"Let me think… yeah, that's right. It was called Haki."
Wyper slapped his fist into his palm, finally realizing it.
"Not bad. Young people really do have better memories."
Gan Fall spoke up.
After Wyper said that, he also remembered what Arton had told them before about Haki.
Chapter 599: Conis's Resolve!
"Told you, didn't I? Arton can definitely handle Enel."
Raki grinned happily when she saw the stunned looks on Gan Fall's and Wyper's faces.
Arton was her captain now, so when he shocked other people like this, she felt happy too.
That was what it meant to share in his glory.
"Yeah… looks like you were right after all."
"I'm guessing that power he mentioned is way more effective than this stone of mine."
"No wonder he didn't care about it."
Wyper sounded pretty emotional as he spoke.
At the same time, he felt even more awe toward Arton's strength.
He hadn't even been able to see Arton's movement just now.
In other words, if Arton wanted to attack him, he wouldn't have had any time to react at all.
For the first time, Wyper felt genuinely relieved.
He was relieved that he had agreed to Arton's proposal earlier.
Otherwise, he was honestly a little worried that after Enel got beaten, Arton might decide to come after the Shandians next.
At the same time, he was also impressed by Raki's judgment, and little by little, he started feeling better about Raki leaving Skypiea with Arton for the Blue Sea.
Because from the looks of it, Arton absolutely had the power to protect her.
"So that power of yours is called Haki…"
Enel stood back up, his expression grim.
After being blasted away by Arton, he had already pushed his Mantra—his Observation Haki—to the limit.
That meant he could hear Wyper's and Gan Fall's conversation too.
Naturally, he had also learned that the power Arton used to punch him flying was called Haki.
He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
There was even one of his teeth mixed in.
Worse, Enel could feel that his face had been distorted, and for the moment, it wouldn't return to normal.
That only made the anger in his heart burn even harder. He wanted nothing more than to kill Arton on the spot.
Enel was always the type to act the moment he thought of something.
Without hesitation, he swung out a bolt of lightning, shaping it into a thunder beast that charged straight at Arton, but faced with that attack, Arton didn't even bother to dodge.
He simply threw a punch.
The thunder beast, which looked so fierce and impressive, shattered like paper under that single blow.
That scene nearly made Enel's jaw drop to the ground, and it nearly made Wyper's, Gan Fall's, and the others' eyes pop right out of their sockets too.
"This… this is way too ridiculous," Wyper muttered.
"Totally normal," Raki said with a smile. "Don't think too hard about it."
Enel stood there in a daze for quite a while.
Seeing that, the ever-helpful Arton decided to lend him a hand.
He moved at incredible speed, appeared right next to Enel, and slapped him across the face.
Then he flew back up and returned to Conis's side.
"Stop attacking me, Enel."
"Otherwise, I can't promise I won't just kill you."
"After those last two hits, you should understand by now that you're not my opponent."
Arton said it calmly to Enel, who had finally snapped back to his senses from the pain.
"Y-You… bastard…"
Enel spat out furiously.
"No, the bastard here is you, Enel." Conis glared at him angrily. "Today, I'm going to take you down on behalf of everyone on Skypiea."
Even Arton thought Conis looked incredibly cute when she was mad, but for Enel, that was definitely not something to enjoy.
Conis quickly began strumming her guitar, fully activating the power of the Serval template.
Lightning started surging wildly around her body.
Gradually, dark clouds gathered overhead, and countless streaks of lightning began racing through the sky.
Enel stared in shock.
That was the kind of phenomenon that was supposed to appear only when he used his power.
So how was Conis doing it too?
