One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 170 A brief battle

What do you mean?
When Enel heard the voice next to him, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Before Enel could understand what Rhodes meant, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck the next moment.

'when! ? '

Feeling the power coming from his neck, Enel felt a surge of shock and anger.

It has been a long time since anyone dared to do this to him.

No! Compared to this!

Eneel's mind flashed, and he wanted to activate his own ability to transform the captured part into elements, but he found that he couldn't do it at all.

His neck was indeed grasped tightly by the other party!

Swah——

Rhodes grabbed Enel's neck tightly, and with a sudden move of his body, he ejected from the Polaris with him. Then he stomped his foot in the air and slammed down to the ground with Enel.

boom! ! !
With a loud roar, Enel was pressed hard to the ground, and in Rhodes' arms, domineering energy kept surging, launching wave after wave of attacks on Enel.

"It's not seastone, but the so-called domineering aura?"

Enilu spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Rhodes.

"But why is this guy's domineering aura so strong!"

Although the communication between Sky Island and Qinghai is not convenient, over the years, many people have reached Sky Island through other means. Among those people, there are many who have mastered domineering power.

However, except for the first time when he was injured due to carelessness, after that, even those who mastered Haki were vulnerable in front of Enelu, and he could completely defeat them with a single strike of lightning.

As the God of Thunder, the power he possesses is invincible!
This is the first time that Enel has encountered such powerful domineering power!
"Luo, Bakara, hurry up and prepare for the ceremony!"

Rod controlled the surge of his domineering aura and attacked Enel wave after wave, leaving him no time to use his abilities. At the same time, he turned around and gave instructions to Law and Bakara.

Although Enel has developed the ability of his fruit quite well and his strength is strong enough, he has been hiding in Sky Island after all. He is slightly lacking in both combat skills and vision. It would be great if we could take advantage of his carelessness to "kill him at first sight".

"I am God! You bastard, die!"

A low growl came out of Enel's mouth, and then his whole body burst into dazzling light.

"The strongest discharge: 200 million volts!!"

As Enel roared, a terrifying thunder sounded, and dazzling lightning burst out from all over his body. At the same time, a terrifying and trembling energy emanated from his body.

"Two hundred million volts!?"

Gray looked over there at the battle in surprise.

The strong electric current and the heat generated by it were transmitted to Rhodes' body, causing him to stiffen slightly.

Even with his well-tempered physique, he could not be completely immune to the damage caused by lightning.

However, the next moment, an even more excited smile appeared on Rhodes' face.

The lightning attack hurt him!

While Rhodes was distracted, Enel suddenly exerted force and forcibly broke free from Rhodes' restraints. His body instantly turned into lightning and appeared in the distance, looking at Rhodes and his group with angry eyes.

"Damn bastard, you've completely pissed me off!"

Ever since he ate the Thunder Fruit, mastered the power of thunder and lightning, and became a true "God", Enel has never suffered such harm.

Boom!Boom!
The golden stick in Enel's hand struck the two drums behind him, and dazzling lightning burst out from the drums.

"6000 million volts Brontosaurus!"

Just now, Rhodes caught Enel's body without him noticing. Enel used his ultimate move right away. The lightning that erupted from the taiko drum behind him transformed into a gigantic thunder dragon, rushing towards Rhodes with terrifying power.

"You came just in time!"

Excitement flashed across Rhodes' face, and the domineering aura that was originally flowing through his body dissipated in an instant.

I originally thought that I couldn't find anyone who could cause me harm in the first half, but I didn't expect that this trip to Sky Island would bring me unexpected gains.

This kind of lightning attack can not only cause harm to oneself, allowing the golden finger of "What doesn't kill me will make me stronger" to take effect, but even the lightning itself can stimulate the body and promote the improvement of physical fitness.

It would be such a waste to fight the enemy with domineering power!

Rhodes' steps were shaky, and he distanced himself from the Polaris. During this time, Enel's Thunder Dragon caught up with Rhodes directly, and the exploding lightning instantly submerged Rhodes.

boom! !

A terrifying shock wave suddenly erupted from the lightning, instantly dispersing the surrounding electric current. The surface of Rhodes' body was slightly charred, but there was a wild laugh on his face.

“That’s powerful!”

boom!
The ground beneath Rhodes' feet collapsed instantly, and his body rushed towards Enel.

When fighting Aokiji on Magnetic Drum Island before, even though he knew that if he removed his defenses and allowed Aokiji to attack him, he would suffer great damage, but considering Aokiji's strength and the positions of both parties, Rhodes still didn't dare to let go completely, for fear that he would be wiped out by Aokiji if he was not careful.

After all, among the Rod Pirates at that time, no one except himself was qualified to fight with Aokiji.

But there is no such worry when facing Enelu.

He only possesses super strong attack and destructive power because of the ability of the devil fruit. If we really talk about overall strength, he is probably on par with Crocodile, and there is almost no possibility of him getting into trouble.

What's more, even if he really got into trouble, the current strength of the Rod Pirates is enough to deal with Enelu.

Rhodes clenched his fist and swung it hard at Enel.

Bang! !

A heavy fist hit Enel's abdomen, causing him to bend over uncontrollably, his stomach churning.

'Too fast!'

Enel's eyes turned slightly white and he seemed to be in a trance.

Although he had predicted Rhode's actions in advance with the ability of "Mind Net", the opponent's actions were too fast, and he didn't even have time to transform into an element.

"Discharge!"

Enel forced himself to cheer up, and dazzling electric light burst out from his body again.

Feeling the electricity flowing through his body, the corners of Rhodes' mouth curled up.

But, was it too heavy-handed?

Looking at Enel's slightly white eyes, Rhodes silently retracted his strength.

This guy is not as tough as Crocodile.

"Natural type!"

On the Polaris, Nia watched the battle between Rod and Enelu with shining eyes.

at last!

After missing Aokiji and Crocodile, she finally met a natural devil fruit user.

Nia's hands resting on the side of the ship changed quietly. Her fingers became slender and her nails became sharp. On her head, two black cat ears grew out at some point and trembled restlessly. Wisps of black flames swayed on her body.

Pei Jin and Xia Qi looked at each other and recalled the previous battle with Aokiji.

Even though they have trained on Drum Island for half a year and their strength has greatly improved, if they were to face Aokiji again, the result would probably not be much better.

Even if it was this guy in front of them who was discharging electricity, they probably wouldn't be able to deal with him.

"A natural devil fruit user!"

Kosa clenched his fists and looked at the flashing lightning in the distance.

Although he could clearly feel that his strength had increased a lot during this period of time, when he saw the battle in front of him, he once again felt his own weakness.

He couldn't even keep up with the movements of both parties and could only see flashes of lightning.

"Luo, Bakara, seize the opportunity and rush forward!"

Gray grabbed Luo and Bakara excitedly.

"This is lightning. If we can use lightning as energy, our Polaris will definitely be able to become even more powerful!

Oh no, I have to start over from scratch with my previous design. The power method I conceived before is too outdated. I want to replace it all with electricity!
If there is a steady supply of electricity, we don’t know what speed our Polaris can reach. Not only that, the main gun on the bow can also be replaced and driven by electricity, which will definitely greatly enhance its power.

Also, when we were building the Polaris, Rhodes said that we were short of manpower and didn't allow me to deploy more cannons. But now we have quite a few people on the ship, and he said before that he would recruit more sailors when entering the Grand Line. In this case, I will have to deploy more cannons on the ship.

That's not right. If there is electricity, the artillery can be eliminated and replaced with new ones. It's still not right. The abilities of Pei Jin and Xia Qi should also be taken into consideration. Their abilities can also greatly enhance the power of the artillery..."

After saying a few words, Gray turned around and ran towards his own laboratory. Although he had not seen the outcome of the battle yet, based on his understanding of Rhodes, there would definitely be one more user of the [Thunder Fruit] ability on their ship.

It makes no difference to Gray whether to recruit this ability user or his devil fruit.

As long as there is someone on the Polaris who can provide electricity.

Thunder Fruit!

A natural devil fruit with super mobility and destructive power!
Nelu's mind was filled with thoughts.

···
"Why, why won't this guy fall down?!"

Enel once again sent out a terrifying lightning strike that hit Rod, then quickly changed his position through elementalization. He looked grimly at Rod who was rushing towards him after blasting away the lightning again.

Although his body had been charred by the electric shock, the guy's eyes were flashing with excitement and he had a smile on his face.

With this level of damage, he should have collapsed!
"It seems almost done."

Rhodes suddenly stopped.

Without using Armament Haki for defense, the impact of lightning and the heat emitted by the electric current have accumulated enough injuries in his body. If it were an ordinary person, after suffering this level of damage, he would probably have died countless times.

Enelu looked at Rhodes in doubt and did not continue attacking.

"Big Bear!"

Rhodes shouted.

The next moment, the big bear's body appeared directly next to Rhodes.

Seeing this scene, Enel's pupils contracted again.

There are experts too!

There was no sign of the other party moving at all. This tall man was also very strong!
"You are being too reckless."

Big Bear spoke softly, reaching out and patting Rod gently.

With a pop sound, a huge crimson bubble was ejected from Rhodes' body.

“I feel great right now!”

Rhodes clenched his fists, feeling his body becoming stronger again, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

After overcoming the bug on Magnetic Drum Island, Rhodes' physical fitness reached a new level.

Once physical fitness reaches this level, any slight improvement becomes invaluable.

'what is this? '

Enel looked at Rhodes who had recovered instantly, and felt a little reluctant.

In the battle just now, Enel didn't suffer too much damage because Rod held back some of his strength. Instead, Rod suffered considerable damage because of his crazy output.

In Enel's opinion, Rod was only slightly powerful, and he was able to hurt him in the beginning only by a surprise attack.

He originally planned to use his own abilities to completely defeat Rhodes, and then slowly deal with the rest of the people.

However, there is someone in the opponent's team who has the ability to instantly recover from damage.

If that's the case, there's no need to continue fighting them!
Thinking of this, Enel put away his fighting stance and looked at Rhodes and his group from a distance.

"Let's end the warm-up game here."

"I will be waiting for you on the Island of Gods, if you dare to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Rhodes to reply, Enel instantly turned into lightning and disappeared before their eyes.

Swah——

A black shadow passed by, but failed to catch the leaving Enelu. Nia fell to the ground with a bit of anger on her face.

"Damn it, I can't fight the Nature type again!"

This is the third time. Is it so difficult to fight against the natural system?

“There will be another chance!”

Rhodes looked into the distance. If he remembered correctly, as long as he continued to move forward, he would soon reach the so-called Island of God.

Eneel, who considers himself the "God" of Sky Island, did not feel that there was an insurmountable gap in strength in the previous battle, and he will definitely stay there and wait.

"His observation Haki is very strong!"

Nalu looked in the direction where Enelu left.

In just a blink of an eye, the other party disappeared from the range of Naru's observation Haki.

However, the old lady who was guarding the door just whispered something, and the other party appeared here directly.

In other words, the other party used the power of Observation Haki to perceive what was happening here in a place beyond the range of Neru's Observation Haki and rushed over in an instant.

At least in terms of the coverage of observation Haki, the opponent is very strong!

Luo turned his head and glanced at Nailu, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

"Want to fight?"

"Of course."

A smile also appeared on Nelu's face.

"Leave the enemy to us this time!"

···
Passing through the dilapidated [Gate of Heaven], the Polaris continued to sail forward.

"You won't let me take action?"

Rod looked at Nayru and Luo.

After repeating the operation of absorbing damage and ejecting damage many times, Rod's physical condition was slightly improved again. When he was about to reach the Island of Gods and directly defeat Eneel, Nelu and Law pulled him into the captain's room.

"We want to try to fight this time without relying on your strength!"

Naylu looked at Rhodes seriously.

"If you, as the captain, are required to rush to the front every time we encounter a strong enemy, then wouldn't the significance of us all be negated?"

"We are partners in this voyage, and we can't always hide under your protection!"

"Besides, everyone has gone through a lot of hard training on Magnetic Drum Island, and they are all trying their best to show you!"

Luo added on the side.

The first half of the Grand Line was already halfway through, and they were about to enter the new world.

According to the original plan, they would face off against Doflamingo after entering the New World.

Roco really wants to take off Doflamingo's head with his own hands!
"Have you developed any special skills yet?!"

Rhodes looked at Luo expectantly.

"No matter what, you must use the move names I came up with, please!"

"boring."

Thinking of the moves that Rhodes had begged for before, the corners of Luo's eyes twitched slightly.

"Then, this time the battle for Sky Island is left to you!"

Looking at Luo and Naylu with serious eyes, Rhodes stopped joking and turned serious.

"I need to remind you that there are some pretty strong guys on Sky Island. Besides, the fighting style on Sky Island is also different from that down there. If you are careless, you will suffer a great loss."

"Do not worry."

Nelu's expression also turned serious.

"Then, this battle is left to you."

There was also a glimmer of anticipation in Rhodes' eyes.
