After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

If that were the case, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to meet the man in front of him. The upper limit he had always believed in never existed; it was just a shackle he had put on himself. Enel still had a lot of room for improvement. If he could learn a technique that could attack Logia-type Devil Fruit users, his combat power would be greatly enhanced.

God-Enel's mindset has changed.

However, Martin on the other side was unaware that Enel's mentality had changed slightly; he was still immersed in the pleasure of crushing his opponent.

I have to say, it's really satisfying to stomp on newbies. The feeling of fighting Enel is like an ordinary player who is used to playing in high-ranking matches suddenly returning to a low-ranking match and encountering an opponent who has good skills but little awareness, and who is also far ahead in terms of economy.

This felt great. He was taking advantage of the fact that the other party had little combat experience, didn't know Armament Haki, and was a powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit user. It gave him the illusion of beating up a Marine Admiral.

"I won the second round in hand-to-hand combat again. You are no match for me in either ability or hand-to-hand combat. Enel, do you still want to continue fighting?"

Silently rising to his feet, Enel melted the broken golden trident back into its golden staff form, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished into the distance, leaving behind only a clear message.

"Of course we'll fight! The outcome is still uncertain!"

He transformed into lightning and landed on the Ark Maxim, which was heading this way. The huge floating spaceship slowly approached. Its wooden exterior looked somewhat simple, but in reality, most of its interior was made of gold, which made it easier for Enel to use electricity to power the floating spaceship.

Martin also took to the air, maintaining a position level with the Ark Maxim, and shouted to Enel at the bow of the ship: "We've been fighting for so long, it's time we set a bet, otherwise what's the point of winning or losing? I came here specifically for you!"

Upon hearing this, Enel paused for a moment before asking, "What are you planning to bet on?"

"It's very simple. If I win, you and the ship beneath your feet will both lose to me and become my subordinates. If I lose, the same thing will happen!"

"Alright, but then we won't be having a fight. Let's have a war between you and me. My men will join the battle too. Don't hold back like you did before!"

"you sure?"

Martin wore a subtle smile. In that kind of all-out war, Enel would have absolutely no chance of winning!

“Of course, let’s begin right away!” Enel didn’t understand his subtle smile, taking it only as the confidence of a strong person.

Martin and Enel took to the sky together, soaring towards higher places.

"This is the final round!"

Azure lightning and pink petals clashed and intertwined in the air, neither able to break the rift, and the entire sky was engulfed in chaos.

When they rose to a certain height, the two separated instantly, creating a distance between them. This was Enel and Martin, who were about to have their final battle.

At this point, they had reached an altitude of 3000 meters above the floating island, which meant they were at a terrifying height of 13,000 meters above Qinghai.

Enel looked at his opponent with mixed feelings. "Just how many abilities do you have left?"

Martin's domineering aura hadn't been able to put him under such pressure before, at least not to the point of being able to confront him head-on. But just now, during the process of increasing the altitude, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and Martin was able to hold his own against him with just his petal abilities.

What's this all about? They were just playing him for a fool before!

"Haha, if you're willing to surrender now, I won't mind taking you as my subordinate. I won't look down on you for being spineless!"

Martin said with a smug laugh.

He is currently only controlling Senbonzakura and cannot be compared to a Logia-type Devil Fruit user like Enel.

However, it can catch the opponent off guard.

"Surrender? Or show us your true skills!"

Enel's expression turned cold. He struck the magatama drum on his back with the golden staff in his hand, and terrifying electricity erupted from his body, raging across the sky. The azure lightning almost dominated most of the sky.

"6000 volts, Thunder Dragon!"

Lightning coalesced into a gigantic dragon, and Enel stepped onto its head, charging towards Martin!

"If you refuse to surrender, then I'll beat you into submission!"

Ding, showing no sign of weakness, charged straight at Enel: "Bankai, Shinsou Satsu!"

In an instant, a sword aura slashed through Enel, cutting his body in two.

Although Enel had already elementalized his body, a trace of blood still appeared on his severed body. Although his body had healed, a huge bloodstain appeared on his chest.

Immediately afterwards, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

God Enel is defeated!

Free, God Enel

If we're talking about the strongest characters in One Piece, God Enel, whom the Straw Hat Pirates encountered on Skypiea, definitely qualifies. After all, in the early stages of One Piece, even Haki hadn't been introduced, yet God Enel could already use the powerful Observation Haki "Mind Field," demonstrating just how special he was. Add to that his almost invincible Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and he's undoubtedly one of the strongest characters in One Piece. So, is Enel the most overpowered Devil Fruit user in One Piece? Could he easily defeat Marine hero Garp and a Marine Admiral?

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Enel's Devil Fruit ability is the most overpowered among all Devil Fruits, after all, his Devil Fruit is a Logia type, and it is the strongest Logia type, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. So let's talk about Enel, the owner of this strongest Logia type Devil Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Why is Enel's Devil Fruit considered the most overpowered of all Devil Fruits?

1. Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit is considered one of the strongest Logia-type abilities.

Why is Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit considered the most overpowered Devil Fruit? I believe the main reason is that it's a Logia-type Devil Fruit, and the most powerful Logia-type at that. After all, in the real world, lightning is absolutely destructive, and in many fantasy and martial arts works, it's one of the most powerful forms of magic. Enel, possessing the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, definitely had the potential to be called a "god," but his character was simply too wicked!

Second, in the early stages, almost no one except Luffy could defeat Enel.

We know that in the early days of One Piece, there was no concept of Armament Haki. The only way to deal with Logia-type Devil Fruit users, besides using Seastone, was to find the corresponding weaknesses based on the characteristics of the Devil Fruits. For example, Luffy's rubber fruit was supposed to counter Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit. However, this is a rather far-fetched concept, since even if rubber is non-conductive, it is impossible for it to withstand tens of thousands of volts of voltage.

So, it can only be said that Enel was incredibly unlucky to have met Luffy, his nemesis. Otherwise, with his abilities, almost no one could stand against him. Because his abilities were so overpowered, Oda was embarrassed to put him in the Blue Sea and sent him directly to the moon. Furthermore, his abilities overlapped significantly with those of Kizaru later on, which is probably why Oda kept him under wraps. With his strength, he could easily have become a Yonko or a Marine Admiral-level powerhouse in the Blue Sea.

Third, utilizing the Mind Network for long-range bombardment makes one virtually invincible.

Another important reason why Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit is considered invincible is that the range of his Observation Haki is so vast that he can easily cover even a huge sky island. Even now, when Observation Haki is very common, there are probably very few people who can do this.

Utilizing the vast range of his mind-control network, combined with the "Lightning Punishment" of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his strength is virtually invincible. He can conceal his presence, use the mind-control network to search for his opponents, and then bombard them directly with lightning. With such indiscriminate bombardment, even someone with the physical strength of a Yonko like Kaido might not be able to withstand it. Calling him invincible wouldn't be an exaggeration.

If Enel were to face Garp, he wouldn't be a match for him in a direct confrontation, but winning would be quite easy.

If Enel went to Qinghai and wanted to instantly kill Garp, that would be impossible. He would probably be instantly killed by Garp. However, it would be very easy for him to defeat Garp. So, let me explain why.

1. Why is it said that Enel is no match for Garp in a head-on confrontation?

We know that Enel dominated Skypiea mainly because he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, making him invulnerable to ordinary people. However, the situation is different in the Blue Sea. The Blue Sea is now practically dominated by Haki, greatly suppressing Devil Fruit abilities, even Logia-types.

Given Garp's powerful Armament Haki, Enel probably wouldn't be able to withstand a punch from Garp imbued with Haki. After all, the highest level of Haki can directly destroy an opponent's body, and Garp undoubtedly possesses this ability. Therefore, considering Enel's physical strength, he could probably be defeated by Garp in one move. Of course, this is on the premise that Garp isn't hit by Enel's lightning attack, or that he can withstand Enel's thunderous strike.

2. Why is it said that Enel could easily defeat Garp?

As Xiao Ai already mentioned, Enel's Psychic Array combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power is practically an invincible combination. He doesn't even need to meet Garp directly; once he locates Garp with his Psychic Array, he can simply unleash his Lightning Punishment. This technique is effective against anyone.

Even if Garp could dodge Enel's attacks for a while, he couldn't keep dodging forever. He would eventually get hit, and the rest was predictable – he would be blasted to death by Enel's lightning.

The above is the author's opinion. In the author's view, given Enel's strength, calling him a "god" is not an exaggeration at all; his powerful psychic abilities, combined with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, make him virtually invincible in One Piece; as long as he doesn't actively show himself and confront people head-on, hiding and using his psychic abilities in conjunction with his lightning strikes, he is invincible. Although his physical abilities aren't very strong, and he might not be a match for Garp in a direct confrontation, if he hides and ambushes people, even ten Garps wouldn't be a match for him.

----------

To find "One Piece," one must sail the Grand Line. However, on the vast ocean, various forces exist, ruling over their own territories, towns, and countries. Examples include Baroque Works near Alabasta, the Donquixote Family in Dressrosa, and the Beasts Pirates who invaded Wano Country. These are all representatives of strength. But even the strong can be defeated. For instance, Enel, who called himself a god, was defeated by Luffy, the rubber man.

Just how strong is Enel?

Enel, who calls himself a god, is a user of the Logia-type Devil Fruit, the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit." After eating the fruit, Enel's body became electrified, rendering him immune to physical attacks. He can also freely unleash high-voltage currents and move at lightning speed. He possesses terrifying destructive power and also has electrotherapy abilities.

From this description, we can infer just how powerful this character is. In summary, there are the following key points:

1. Physical attacks are ineffective against him. Of course, they are not completely ineffective; they are only effective if the attack hits his physical body. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight against Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

2. It moves at lightning speed and attacks with high-voltage current. Simply put, it's incredibly fast and destructive. To defeat it, you need the ability to control electric current, meaning any non-conductive material can be used.

3. Possesses electrotherapy capabilities, meaning it can restore a heartbeat through electric shocks. Simply put, it's very difficult to kill, and if it dies, it can be revived with an electric shock.

From the points above, we can see that Enel was indeed very strong! So, how was he defeated?

What did Luffy rely on to defeat Enel?

The protagonist, Luffy, is a user of the "Gum-Gum Fruit." Since rubber is non-conductive, Enel's second advantage cannot be displayed; his high-voltage current has little effect on Luffy.

When Luffy fought Enel, he hadn't yet mastered Armament Haki. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to exert so much effort to defeat Enel. Armament Haki can grasp the physical forms of Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

When Luffy fought Enel, although he hadn't mastered Armament Haki, he possessed an indomitable spirit, unwavering belief, and courage. Luffy was practically invincible, and the supposedly invincible lightning strike was utterly useless against him. Enel, seeing his tried-and-true lightning strike fail the first time and suffering repeated blows, finally broke down and was sent flying to the moon by Luffy.

Besides Luffy, who else can defeat Enel?

To defeat Enel, two basic conditions are required. First, one must be a non-conductive insulator; second, one must be able to attack Logia-type physical entities and possess Armament Haki.

The first possibility is Kizaru.

In One Piece, there are quite a few Devil Fruit users who cannot conduct electricity, such as Mr. 3 with the Wax-Wax Fruit, Crocodile with the Sand-Sand Fruit, and other Logia-type Devil Fruit users. However, very few people possess both Armament Haki. Kizaru is one such person who possesses both.

Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit is essentially light, while Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit is essentially electricity. Light is faster than electricity. Furthermore, Kizaru possesses Armament Haki, allowing him to easily attack Enel's physical form. In a confrontation, Kizaru would completely overwhelm Enel.

The second possibility is that Blackbeard...

Why could Blackbeard defeat Enel? Because while Blackbeard isn't a non-conductive fruit, his "Dark-Dark Fruit" can nullify the abilities of other Devil Fruit users. In other words, Blackbeard could easily neutralize Enel's attacks. Furthermore, Blackbeard's other Devil Fruit, the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit," can cause earthquakes, air tremors, and sea tremors. Covering land, sea, and air, no matter how Enel tries to dodge, he can't escape Blackbeard's attacks. Moreover, Blackbeard also possesses Armament Haki, making defeating Enel a piece of cake!

Chapter 169 Marry Me, Hancock

Boom!

The entire sky was divided into two worlds by lightning and sword light, as if it were a sign of the end of the world, and the entire kingdom of gods was alarmed.

All the creatures living in Apayado were terrified by the battle at the center of the island, and even the colossal python, comparable to those in myths and legends, was forced to the edge of Apayado.

On Angel Island, which is even further away, everyone was awakened from their sleep. Looking at the apocalyptic scene outside the window, everyone was terrified. Some even put their hands together, closed their eyes, and prayed for divine protection.

The strange celestial phenomenon lasted for about three minutes before the violent energy began to contract, gradually shrinking to only the core of Apayado, but it did not completely disappear and still maintained terrifying energy.

At an altitude of 13000 meters, Martin floated in the air. Within a radius of several hundred meters around him, traces of the battle remained, and the violent energy could not be completely dissipated for a while.

Enel, held in Martin's hand, had reverted to his original form. He had fainted from his severe injuries, having almost exhausted all his lightning energy, making him completely unable to fight Martin. At this moment, the unconscious Enel was like a fish on a chopping board, at Martin's mercy.

Martin also had marks from the electric shock, but he was in much better shape than Enel. His body energy was recovering rapidly, and he would soon be back to his energetic self. However, his opponent was not yet able to recover to his best condition.

Enel's bones were shattered, and the wounds on his body were all from the collapse of his bones and muscles.

However, Enel's vitality was still very strong. He continued to struggle to live under these circumstances. Martin could tell that he wouldn't die anytime soon, so he didn't treat him and waited for Enel to recover to his peak condition.

In the world of One Piece, strong individuals with high physical strength will likely recover quickly as long as their heart and head remain intact.

After waiting for a while, Martin finally carried Enel down from the sky and landed in the center of the battlefield on the ground.

The group of priests below looked at Martin as if he were a god, and everyone was trembling.

Martin ignored the priests; he had never thought much of them anyway. He casually tossed the unconscious Enel to the ground.

He once again unleashed the White Snow, freezing Enel's wounds and helping them heal.
