One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 118 I Will Be Among the Gods! Enel's Identity!
On island number 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Completely invisible."

Alan stood at the very center of the battlefield.

He raised his head, ignoring the stinging pain in his eyes, and looked at the scene around him.

"Boom!"

Countless bolts of lightning continued to flash and crash down across the sky.

Each bolt of lightning can create a huge crater in the ground, melting and destroying everything inside.

But in contrast
"Buzz!"

Above the sky, beams of light rose continuously, entangled and fought against the lightning, stirring up huge plumes of smoke and dust.

At the heart of that enormous cloud of smoke, thunder, and pillar of light.

A bolt of lightning and a golden light collided with each other at an exaggerated speed, just like two comets.

But Alan knew—those two weren't comets, but two people.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Their speed completely exceeded Alan's observation limits.

He often only felt a flash of light, but the dozens of explosions in the air were enough to show that the two had already fought dozens of times.

"Lord Rooster, you are actually so strong."

Alan always knew that the Rooster was very strong.

But he never knew that the Rooster was so strong—compared to the power the Rooster was displaying now, he felt like he was playing with a child back in Masterport.

But this thought didn't linger in Alan's mind for long.

"Lord Yuji and that guy named Enel. Their battle didn't affect me because of this Celestial Dragon."

Alan, who had already removed the iron box from his back, hugged it tightly.

In his mind, he recalled the lessons the Rooster had taught him during this period.

“Alan, remember this—strength cannot be achieved overnight. Even if you are a Devil Fruit user, it is difficult to become a top-tier powerhouse in a short period of time.”

"However, thought and will can."

"No matter what happens, think carefully—even if you are weak, there is always something you can do."

Just like Alan right now.

He knew that the reason why such massive destruction around him had not caused him the slightest harm must be because of the Celestial Dragon in his hands.

The enemy named Enel was hesitant to attack him, fearing the consequences.

"I can't help with this kind of battle."

"If Lord Rooster loses, with the abilities of that man named Enel, I will surely die."

"But—Lord Rooster will definitely win."

So what he can do is actually very simple.

"Get out of here!"

"After leaving this battlefield, my main body and other clones are on a nearby island, and each of them has a spare iron box. I can hide myself, and even if I can't hide, I will keep a sufficient distance to ensure that Lord Rooster will not have any concerns because of me."

With this thought in mind, he forced himself to stand up and began to run wildly toward the edge of the island.

at the same time
"You little rascal, you're doing well."

The rooster, suspended in the air above the battlefield, flapped its wings.

After noticing Alan's choice, he nodded in satisfaction.

But it is precisely at this moment.

Where are you looking?!

A low growl came from behind him.

"Thunder beast!"

With Enel's low growl, the lightning around him instantly transformed into two lion-like thunderous beasts, which pounced towards the Rooster.

But when faced with the oncoming thunderous beast, the Rooster neither dodged nor avoided it.

"Guardian of Light and Pleiades".

He simply raised his hand slightly.

Then he saw two enormous 'Guardians of Light', each wielding a giant sword, emerge from the intense light beside him.

They swung their giant swords, instantly cleaving the thunder beast in two.

Seeing this, Enel's expression turned grim, but he still did not give up.

"Thunder Spear - Chaotic Strike!"

He raised his hand, and spears formed from bolts of lightning continuously emerged from his side, heading towards the Rooster.

"Light Blade Rain".

Almost simultaneously, countless beams of light were sculpted into lightsabers around the Rooster, colliding with Enel's lightning spear.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Thus, the lightning spears were annihilated by the rain of light blades, vanishing into nothingness.

Then and then
"Wings of Light"

The wings on the back of the rooster burst forth with this dazzling light.

"Cherry Blossom Entanglement - Light Speed ​​Claw!"

A gust of wind swept by, and his figure shot out with a whooshing sound—the sharp dragon claws wrapped in Ryuo swung towards Enel at the speed of light!
"Heart Network - Lightning Flash!"

Enel activated his Mind Control and instinctively tried to dodge to the right.

But until then.
"boom!"

The rooster's massive tail had already blocked his path on the right.

That's definitely not Observation Haki.

That was simply the 'fighting instinct' of ancient creatures as beasts, arising from slaughter and hunting.

"Armament Haki Cover - Lightning Fist!"

Seeing this, Enel, knowing he couldn't avoid it, gritted his teeth.

His fist was covered in jet-black Armament Haki, with flashes of lightning.

at the same time
"Thunder Body - Static Electricity Stimulation".

Fine lightning crackled across his body, causing his muscles to swell at a visible rate.

But
"boom!"

The next moment, his fist, covered in lightning and Armament Haki, was blasted apart, and his body fell downwards like a meteor in an instant, once again smashing a huge chasm into the already crumbling island.

"It seems you've indeed learned quite a bit since leaving Skypiea, Enel—"

Meanwhile, in the sky above, the rooster with flapping wings looked towards the end of the ravine and spoke thus.

In fact, the Rooster was genuinely surprised at that moment.

He never expected that after seeing information about Enel in the intelligence report not long ago, he would encounter him so soon.

Moreover, he could tell that Enel was clearly stronger than in the original story.

The opponent's use of Devil Fruit abilities is more refined than in the original work, and most importantly, the opponent has mastered Armament Haki and has trained it to a considerable level, and their body and physique have also been greatly strengthened.

The presence of the armor on the other party, along with the fact that they were here, confirmed Youji's earlier suspicions.

Of course, that's not the key point.

because
That won't change the gap between us.

The Rooster calmly stated the facts.

Yes—the gap.

Admittedly, Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit is one of the top Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Destructive power, versatility—it's impeccable in every aspect, especially its unparalleled advantage in 'speed'.

However, what appeared before him was a 'Rooster'.

[Glint-Glint Fruit LV4 - Can create light tunnels in the air, travel at the speed of light, and shape various light creations; the emitted light has intense heat and great power.]

The 'Glint-Glint Fruit' that Youji possesses, which he has upgraded to LV4, is also a top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit.

In terms of speed and power in a contest utilizing their Devil Fruit abilities, the two are almost evenly matched.

But
"When the types and strengths of fruit abilities are similar, the differences in other aspects become the deciding factors."

Even though they are both Logia-type, the concept of it being used by a general is completely different from that of it being used by a random passerby.

The fundamental difference lies not in the fruit, but in the difference as 'individual biological beings'. Physique, vitality, strength, muscles, domineering aura, and even combat instinct—the difference in each aspect will affect the outcome of the battle.

This is precisely where Youji feels Enel has improved the most compared to the original work.

He has developed the fruit to a very high level, and has even learned to use electric current to stimulate his body, combined with Armament Haki, to make his body burst with greater power to withstand more lightning.

It's certain that if Enel were to return to Skypiea and engage in a duel with Nika's older brother according to the original storyline, then the current Nika would most likely face an untimely death.

But
[Fuse Fruit - Tyrannosaurus Rex LV4]

The Rooster, possessing the physical power gained from the fusion of two Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits, is not the Luffy of this era.

With the help of this fusion fruit, the Rooster's 'Flowing Cherry Blossom' and physical combat power are almost the strongest among all twelve constellations.

And this is a quick sketch of this battle.

In a one-on-one fight, Enel has no advantage over Rooster in any way—his only possible advantage is the long-range attack brought by his mind network, but now this advantage is obviously no longer available.

Enel is definitely very strong.

But the Rooster is stronger than him.

But obviously
"Don't get cocky, you bug."

At this moment, Enel, who had risen from the edge of the ravine, did not think so.

Despite this, he already had many wounds on his body.

But his words still showed no sign of admitting defeat.

"I admit your abilities surprised me somewhat, but that's all."

He noticed Alan's escape, but didn't seem to care.

He had already realized that Alan and the Rooster did not seem to intend to kill Saint Ambocam immediately.

In that case, no matter how far that kid escapes, his mental network can instantly track and lock onto him by following the aura of Saint Ambocam.

So, compared to Alan, what he needs to deal with most right now is this guy in front of him.

"You seem to know my background?"

He said in a deep voice.

"Of course, our organization has a wide intelligence network—Enel, a man from 'Sky Island' Birka, is a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

The Rooster chuckled softly: "As for now, although the investigation hasn't been completed yet, I guess your current identity is that of a Celestial Dragon's dog?"

And it was at the very moment these words were spoken.

The rooster sensed that Enel's aura had changed at that moment!

"Boom!"

Lightning burst forth from his body once more.

"Click!" "Click!"

A harsh sound came from his mouth.

That was the sound of his teeth grinding together.

"You guy."

He growled, his eyes fixed intently on the rooster.

The lightning in his eyes revealed his fury.

And without a doubt—his current demeanor felt more familiar to Youji than his previous 'cold and loyal dog' appearance.

That was how he remembered Enel.

Arrogant, violent, and overbearing.

"Who are you calling a Celestial Dragon's dog?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, unprecedented thunder crashed down from the sky.

But the difference is that this time, the massive amount of lightning that struck down was no longer aimed at the Rooster, but at Enel himself.

"Boom!"

A violent bolt of lightning struck him, while Enel slowly raised his hand.

"Ok?"

Youji could clearly see that a layer of lightning seemed to be covering the armor on Enel's body.

The lightning continuously circulated within his body and on his armor, unleashing tremendous power.

The tip of the stick in his hand was constructed from lightning, forming a sharp structure that resembled both a spear and a scepter.

"You think you know me? You bug!"

"But you have no idea what kind of power I've gained!"

Enel exuded an unprecedented aura of dominance and surging thunder.

"Thor's Armor - Don!"

"Thor's Spear - Anchor Pull!"

"Charging efficiency -70%"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

"Um!?"

This time, even the Rooster made a sound in surprise.

Because in that instant, Enel unleashed a speed far exceeding the limits of his previous battles!

The rooster instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

At that moment, his chest was pierced!
"laugh!"

The next moment, an immense force accompanied by a piercing sound rang out.

"."

Enel's furious face, now bearing a sinister grin, appeared before Rooster.
His breathing quickened slightly—clearly, the thunderous force of the attack had put considerable pressure on him.

But at this moment, he only felt pleasure.

“I gave the core of the ‘Proverbs’ to the gods, and they gave me the power and the possibility of becoming a god—provided I serve long enough and perform enough merits.”

"Then I will have the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods."

His words were brimming with long-suppressed emotions, surging and passionate: "So you understand now, you bug—"

"I will surely become one of the 'gods'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled hard.

"boom!"

A terrifying destructive force erupted from the body of the Rooster!

"Annihilation - Thunder Explosion!"

As the words fell, the lightning covered by Armament Haki was dazzling and radiant.

Even the Rooster's physique, which combined the power of two ancient Devil Fruits, exploded instantly at this moment.

The heart exploded, blood flowed freely, bones shattered, and limbs were broken.

"Hahahahaha!"

Upon seeing this, Enel roared with laughter.

He knew that even if the opponent's Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit possessed near-elemental abilities and immense vitality, there was absolutely no chance of survival under such circumstances.

"You insect, this is the consequence of going against God."

He growled contentedly, as if he were going mad.

But
"."

In an instant, Enel sensed that something was wrong.

Because at this moment, the shattered remains of the 'Rooster' did not fall.

Quite the opposite, even.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the blood and flesh began to radiate light.

Those countless rays of light transformed into 'bonds', constantly beginning to connect and unite.

"Sure enough."

The rooster's figure was reshaped almost instantly, and its voice slowly emerged.

His gaze turned to Enel with a knowing look.

"You're 'God's Blade' now, aren't you?"
