Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 72 Storm VS Enel! (5 chapters, 170,000 words, please subscribe!)

A blue-eyed white dragon roams the sky.

Strom sat cross-legged on the dragon's head, looking down at the ruins of Shandora, while recalling information about Enel.

"When the Straw Hat crew sailed to Skypiea, the then 'Sky Knight,' who was also the former 'Skypiea God,' told them that six years earlier, Enel had overthrown his rule and become the new 'Skypiea God.'"

"The Straw Hat crew will set sail four years from now."

"This also means... Enel has been ruling Skypiea for two years!"

Storm also didn't know when Enel had eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

But there is one thing he is certain of.

When Enel became the "God of Skypiea," he had definitely already obtained the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

Because long before Enel became the "God of the Sky Islands".

He had already used the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to destroy his hometown, Piccolo.

"If that's the case, then it's simple, just find Enel!"

Storm gazed down at the ruins of Shandora, two sharp red lights rising in his eyes.

His Observation Haki was quietly activated, allowing him to probe the island below.

All the "sounds" in the ruins of Shandora were perceived and captured by Storm's Observation Haki.

On this island, known as the "Island of Gods" by the Sky Islanders.

Storm clearly picked up several "voices" that deserved his attention.

Judging from his past experience.

Several of the "voices" belong to individuals whose skill level is roughly equivalent to that of pirates with bounties of tens of millions of Berries.

"Those four voices on the Shandora Ruins must be the four high priests under Enel's command, right?"

Storm recalls the Straw Hat crew's journey to Skypiea.

"If I remember correctly, all four of Enel's priests seem to have mastered the 'Heart Sutra'—"

"That is, the power of [Observation Haki]."

"From this perspective, Enel's four priests have already surpassed the vast majority of Paradise pirates..."

Storm paid no attention to the priests; he was concerned about another powerful voice—

A "voice" almost identical to Crocodile's!

"Found him! Enel!"

Storm rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, flying towards the direction perceived by his Observation Haki.

How swift is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's flight speed?

In just a short while.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon traversed most of the Shandora ruins and arrived in front of a vast, minimalist temple.

Four figures were already waiting at the temple entrance.

The arrival of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon had been observed long beforehand.

Storm sized up the four people standing at the temple entrance; they were of varying heights, builds, and shapes.

They were the owners of the four relatively faint voices that Storm had just noticed—

The four great priests!

"Illegal immigrants".

A priest stepped forward, raising his spear and pointing it at the white dragon in the sky.

"Accept what comes from God—"

"Noisy."

Storm didn't want to waste his time on these lowlifes.

He stretched out his right hand, and his five fingers transformed into five thin strips of clay, which shot out through the air like bullets.

The clay, resembling a white snake, danced wildly in the air, and the four high priests' reaction speed was simply no match for the clay snake's flight speed.

It was just a fleeting moment.

The four great priests.

Both had their throats pierced.

Two hearts were pierced.

The four corpses collapsed to the ground simultaneously, their life force slowly fading away...

The remaining white clay snake sped towards the temple behind it.

But it didn't even have time to fly into the temple.

Rumbling--

It was accompanied by a low rumble of thunder.

A dazzling bolt of lightning shot out from inside the temple and instantly coalesced beside the corpses of the four high priests.

He was tall and thin, shirtless, with his earlobes hanging down to his lower abdomen, and four jade-patterned thunder drums on his back.

Enel, the current God of Skypiea and user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

"The four priests were defeated just like that..."

Enel's pale face showed no trace of sadness; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, there's nothing we can do about it!"

"After all, I am God!"

Four blood-stained white snakes, along with another clay white snake, attacked Enel together.

Enel rolled his eyes, looked at the giant white dragon in the sky, and his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the spot.

The five clay white snakes immediately missed their target.

The speed at which clay moves is ultimately no match for the fleeting lightning.

Lightning gathered above the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's head.

Enel calmly looked at Storm, his gaze lingering for a moment behind the latter.

"No wings... You must be a Blue Sea person from the Blue Sea, right?"

Enel noticed that Storm's five fingers had returned to normal.

"Is this the power of a Devil Fruit? This soft, slow-moving white thing... what Devil Fruit did you eat?"

"It's remarkable that you had the courage to appear before me."

Storm calmly watched Enel.

"But that's all I can say about you."

His voice hadn't even reached Enel's ears yet.

He appeared before Enel at supersonic speed, like a ghost.

【MoMo Fruit - 100x Speed】!

Storm raised his right fist, which was wrapped in solid, dark Armament Haki, and gently swung it forward.

To be honest.

The speed that Storm displayed really startled Enel.

However, relying on his "invincible" Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he completely disregarded Storm's attack.

It's just a mere fist—

boom!

Storm's armed iron fist struck Enel squarely in the abdomen, producing a dull, teeth-grinding sound.

Enel felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

He involuntarily curled up, his mouth forced open, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes bulged out.

The next instant.

Enel flew backwards back to the temple like a shooting star.

boom!

The self-proclaimed invincible Thor crashed into his temple, knocking over countless buildings in the process.

Storm leaped downwards, leaving the Blue-Eyes White Dragon behind, and went directly to the temple below.

Just then, a dazzling burst of lightning erupted from the temple ruins.

Enel broke through the temple ruins and reappeared before Storm.

Compared to his relaxed and carefree demeanor when he first appeared, Enel looked utterly disheveled at this moment.

He was sweating profusely, blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, and a huge purplish-red fist mark remained on his abdomen where he had just been hit.

"you--"

Enel was about to say something when his legs suddenly gave way, and he knelt on one knee, involuntarily coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Cough!"

Strom isn't going to engage in any verbal sparring with a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

【MoMo Fruit - 100x Speed】!

His figure vanished from the spot once again, appearing in front of Enel as if by teleportation.

Storm's fist, wreathed in Armament Haki, continued to swing forward.

Extreme speed brings terrifying power.

But this time, Enel finally realized what was happening.

We can't tough it out!

We can't tough it out!

We can't tough it out!

Enel, who considered himself a "god," was filled with immense fear.

At this critical moment, he did not hesitate to activate his [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] ability, turning into lightning and escaping from the spot.

boom!

Storm's iron fist slammed into the temple ground, instantly cracking and shattering the earth.

Rocks and clods of earth flew in all directions, and the punch blasted a terrifying crater tens of meters in diameter into the ground.

Enel's figure appeared on the other side of the temple.

He looked at the ground that Storm had almost pierced through, and large beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

If I had been hit just now, I would definitely be dead...

"You bastard! How dare you offend the dignity of God!!"

The fear of death ignited Enel's boundless rage.

"This is God's command! Die!"

"Divine retribution!"

Enel raised one hand to the sky, while his right hand transformed into endless lightning.

Rumble!

At the command of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, an incredibly thick bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the spot where Storm had just been standing with lightning speed.

The moment it hit its target, the lightning summoned by "Divine Retribution" expanded into a towering pillar of thunder, spreading outwards and causing a series of massive explosions.

The temple, already a ruin, was reduced to dust by the terrifying power of "divine retribution," and then swept away by the violent shockwave.

Enel raised his right hand and began to "electrotherapy" his abdomen to relieve the excruciating pain;

He then deployed his "Mind Framework" in an attempt to capture the enemy's voice.

Enel desperately hoped that the man who had instilled in him the fear of death had already died under his "divine punishment".

There was no response from "Xin Gang".

Enel did not sense any enemy presence within the attack range of "Divine Judgment".

He... is dead?

"Yay hahaha!"

Enel burst into laughter again, releasing his fear and excitement.

"My [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] is truly invincible!"

But as soon as he finished speaking...

The ground beneath Enel's feet suddenly began to deform.

Two "black hands" wrapped in Armament Haki sprouted from the clay-like earth and firmly gripped Enel's feet.

Enel's heart skipped a beat.

He wanted to continue using the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, transforming into lightning to escape this place.

However, the clay imbued with Armament Haki directly grabbed his physical form.

The pair of "black hands" that emerged from the ground gripped his body like iron clamps.

Enel was filled with immense fear.

Even with his strength, he couldn't break free from the grip of those "black hands"!

Enel's first plan failed, so he came up with another.

Since there is no way to escape.

Then destroy the ground beneath your feet!

Enel unleashed the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit once more, transforming himself into a ball of lightning.

"Discharge - One Hundred Million Volts!"

sizzle-

A ferocious electric current erupted instantly, concentrating its attack on the "clay black hands" wrapped in Armament Haki.

Brilliant lightning filled every corner of the temple.

If it were any other Sky Island inhabitant here...

Even the slightest touch of this lightning is enough to kill it on the spot.

Just then.

Storm's figure emerged from another part of the earth.

He looked at the "Lightning Man" whose attention was entirely focused on those "clay black hands," and calmly raised his right hand.

A large amount of clay emerged, enveloping his fist and transforming it into a "giant fist".

Storm unleashed his Armament Haki without reservation, upgrading "Giant Fist" to "Armed Giant Fist".

next moment.

Storm swung his right fist at the "Lightning Man" in front of him, while simultaneously unleashing the [Momo Fruit - 100x Power]!

100x Armored Clay Giant Fist!

boom!

Storm's hundredfold punch landed directly on Enel, who was still trapped in place and unable to escape.

A deafening roar was heard.

Enel collapsed on the spot.

A blood diamond trophy, dazzlingly red, appeared out of nowhere in front of Storm.
