Chapter 197: Thunder Fruit Ability User, Under Yuichi's Command
The Golden Lion floated quietly in the sky. His presence surprised both Sengoku and Garp.
"Shiki... why are you here?"
Sengoku was shocked. The Golden Lion had disappeared since escaping Impel Down. In Sengoku's view, Shiki, having lost his legs, should have hidden somewhere to lick his wounds. He had lost his former glory and was, at best, a remnant of the old era. Sengoku hadn't worried much about him.
Unexpectedly, Golden Lion Shiki appeared at Enies Lobby today. This was no longer a simple situation. It felt as though the pirates appearing at Enies Lobby were all fighting forces under the command of the Emperors of the Sea.
Did the Golden Lion's appearance here mean that he was also a subordinate to someone? But was that possible? With the nature of the Golden Lion, how could he be willing to be inferior to others?
"Why am I here? Of course, it's because I, the Golden Lion, am now a member of the Five Emperors Alliance!" Shiki glanced at Yuichi. "Our Leader is being targeted by you. As a subordinate, can I just watch you do something to him?"
Leader?
Both Sengoku and Garp immediately turned their attention to Yuichi. Could it be that this guy really made someone like the Golden Lion submit willingly?
How was this possible? Of course, Yuichi was talented and strong—even if he was comparable to Whitebeard, that was one thing. There would always be one or two monsters in an era. But to be strong enough to make a proud man like Shiki surrender... that was a different concept entirely.
How did he do it?
"The people of the Blue Sea look very strong! I just want to try and see what level I am in this sea area!"
At this time, Enel's voice sounded. He stood in front of Yuichi with a golden trident in his hand and strange drums on his back. Coupled with his lightning entrance, he was very eye-catching.
Crackling...
Enel disappeared as a bolt of lightning, shooting toward Garp with extreme speed. He reappeared in front of the Marine Hero instantly, waving the golden trident flowing with terrifying electricity. He stabbed at Garp.
The attack was sudden and fast; the speed of lightning was no joke. But facing Garp, although the speed was surprising, it was nothing he couldn't handle.
Garp raised one arm across his chest, covering it in Armament Haki.
Ding!
Zizizi...
The collision of Lightning and Haki rang out. Enel's thrust did not hurt Garp, but his attack stunned the countless Marine soldiers around them. Weapons fell from trembling hands.
"He just... became... lightning?" a Marine soldier stammered, eyes wide.
Although the other soldiers remained silent, they all realized the same thing. In this sea, the ability to transform into an element meant only one thing: a Logia Devil Fruit user. And this element was lightning!
"Is this guy a Logia ability user?"
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
"Compared with the three Admirals' abilities, isn't lightning..."
Marine officers who understood the significance spoke up. "Not only is it not weak, but the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is considered one of the invincible abilities! Its destructive power is terrifying, perhaps even superior to Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit! And its mobility is unmatched. It's an almost perfect ability!"
Zizizizizi...
Enel's lightning continued to erupt, rushing along the trident toward Garp's body. Although Garp's Haki blocked the strike, he couldn't completely block the intrusion of the electricity. The paralyzing effect made Garp feel his arm lose sensation.
Garp's heart froze. Suddenly, he burst out a Haki shockwave, knocking Enel back.
Turning into lightning in the air, Enel dissipated the force and returned to Yuichi's side, resting the trident on his shoulder with a faint smile. "What strong Haki!"
"Hmph! How dare a young brat attack this old man!"
Bang!
This time, Garp took the initiative. Although he didn't have a Devil Fruit ability, and his physical condition had regressed, Garp's strength was terrifying. His burst speed was not much slower than Enel's lightning movement.
In an instant, he rushed to Enel and delivered an iron fist.
Enel frowned. His body turned into lightning, moving to the right to avoid the attack. At the same time, the drums behind him exploded with power. Terrifying thunderbolts fell from the sky, absorbed by Enel and poured into his trident. The weapon turned red-hot.
"El Thor!"
Crackling!
The trident, powered by the burst of thunder, struck toward Garp.
Garp's reaction was instant. Although the light from the lightning was blinding, he turned and swung a punch. Before the Haki wave could fully explode, his fist collided with Enel's attack.
Lightning and Haki clashed violently, creating an astonishing roar. The terrifying aftermath swept across the plaza, lifting Yuichi's cloak.
In the next second, the light faded. The red-hot golden trident was stopped dead by Garp's iron fist. The two looked at each other as sparks erupted in the air.
Bang bang!
Shocked by the impact, Garp took five or six steps back to stabilize himself. Enel was sent flying but instantly turned into lightning, moving ten meters away to remove the impact through elementalization.
Marine Hero Garp had pinned down a terrifying Logia user with his bare hands using only Haki. This power amazed countless people.
However, Enel's performance was equally surprising. The Logia Lightning power was potent, and his usage of the fruit was amazing. Speed, strength, and destructive power were all excellent. To fight against a legend like Garp without losing ground was unbelievable.
And now, looking at the two combatants, everyone remembered one crucial fact: This guy was under Yuichi's command!
As the newly promoted Emperor, Yuichi actually had such a powerful Logia user as a subordinate. This subordinate was not inferior to a Marine Admiral's combat effectiveness.
Enel suddenly exploded with more thunder, ready to attack again.
"Enough, Enel!"
Yuichi's voice cut through the noise. Enel stopped, the lightning on his body dissipating. He looked at Yuichi helplessly. "I can handle this guy."
Yuichi smiled and didn't argue, simply stating, "This is my battle."
