"No, there shouldn't be any. You're all welcome to come if you want." Norton thought for a moment and looked at Bonnie and Nojiko.

"Of course we want to go too! Let's go!" Since they had said that, Bonnie and Nojiko didn't stand on ceremony with him and walked straight into the portal.

On the other side of the portal was a shop on an island.

When the four people arrived, the person in charge was waiting nearby.

"Greetings, King, Queen and the two princesses." Upon seeing that it was their own King who had come in person, the person in charge was so excited that tears streamed down their face.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Norton stepped forward and shook hands warmly with his seconded subordinate, saying, "If you ever want to go back to your post for a shift change, remember to report to Colt and the others at any time."

"Yes... Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! I am willing to dedicate myself to the cause until my dying breath!" The person in charge was so excited to be able to shake hands with His Majesty the King that his whole body began to tremble.

"Alright! Let's get down to business!" Norton released his grip and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly. "You did a great job this time, I have high hopes for you! So, where is Enel now?"

"He's...on...the rocks on the west side of the beach, lost in thought." The person in charge pointed westward.

Norton nodded, and the four of them put on their combat suits in the room. Then, to the astonishment of the person in charge, they activated their stealth mode and disappeared from his sight.

"Alright, you can continue with your work. I'll go take care of this." After patting him on the shoulder again, Norton and the others left.

The person in charge sat down on the ground, his mouth trembling as he stammered something unintelligible.

Heading west, they soon arrived at the western shore of the island.

Under the sunlight, a shirtless guy with four drums stuck in his back sat on a rock, holding a stick and staring blankly.

It seems that this defeat was a significant blow to him, and he has not yet recovered.

Norton didn't stop and continued walking towards Enel.

To his surprise, Enel, who looked dejected, suddenly turned around and looked in their direction.

"Who are you? Why are you approaching me stealthily? What do you want?"

The three questions that suddenly appeared left Norton and his three companions looking at each other in bewilderment.

A few seconds later, Norton raised his hand and slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering that Enel's ability was not Observation Haki, but a unique mind-space sensing created by sensing electromagnetic waves in the air.

His electromagnetic waves are so strong that even his combat suit cannot hide from them.

Now that they had been discovered, they simply deactivated their invisibility, but their steps did not stop.

“I came here specifically to find you.” Arriving at the beach, Norton stopped, removed his mask, and looked at Enel.

"Get to the point." Clearly, Enel had no interest in chatting and replied coldly.

“Since you’ve put it that way, I won’t beat around the bush. Anyway, I don’t like beating around the bush.” Norton shrugged and said, “I’m here to give you two choices.”

"..."

Enel stared at him coldly without saying a word.

"Let me first introduce myself!" Norton raised his hand and patted his chest. "I am King Norton of the Kingdom of Oycot, and these ladies beside me are my Queen, my Princess, and my sister."

Then, holding up a finger, he continued, "First, accept my invitation to work in my Free Alliance and fight alongside me for world domination."

He then extended a second finger and said, "Secondly, you can refuse me. Even after I destroy you, I can still obtain your Devil Fruit ability."

After saying that, Norton spread his hands and said with a smile, "These are the two choices. You choose."

"How dare you speak to me like that!" Enel was furious and slowly stood up.

Despite his dejected state, Enel's volatile temper wouldn't allow Norton to spout nonsense.

In a few days, once this guy pulls out of his slump, he should find someone to build a spaceship and go on vacation to the moon.

But Norton didn't want to let him go so easily; he was quite capable.

Sizzle...

A flash of electricity erupted from Enel's body, and a lightning python shot out, heading straight for Norton.

"Barrier." Nojiko calmly crossed her fingers, and a transparent barrier wall appeared in front of them.

Boom...

The lightning python crashed into the barrier, but instead of harming Norton and his companions, it was shattered by the force of the impact.

"What?!" Enel looked at Norton and the others in shock, his expression as exaggerated as could be.

Just a few days ago, he was defeated by Luffy because his attacks were ineffective against him.

Only a few days had passed, and he had already encountered another guy who could control lightning, which made him question his life choices.

“Grab him.” Norton snapped his fingers.

“Okay.” Nokiko smiled knowingly and said softly, “Barrier Cage!”

After saying that, he raised his hand and gently pushed the barrier in front of him.

Swah——

With this push, the barrier flew rapidly toward Enel.

Enel quickly dodged and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Nojiko's Observation Haki flashed, and with a smile on her lips, she controlled the barrier to turn.

Just as Enel appeared from behind in another direction, the barrier suddenly appeared in front of him and turned into a cylinder, trapping Enel inside.

"What is this?!" Enel was shocked and hurriedly unleashed lightning to attack.

The result was naturally useless; all the lightning was reflected back at Enel by the barrier.

Enel was shocked and dodged, still trying to escape using Lightning Instantaneous Movement.

However, the barrier-barrier fruit's barrier ability completely isolated Enel from the outside world.

No matter how Enel teleported, he couldn't escape the barrier's cage.

On the contrary, due to Enel's tense and rapid breathing, the air inside the barrier became increasingly scarce.

"You...you...let me out...let me out...if you've got the guts...let's fight one-on-one..."

Sensing this, Enel was truly frightened and kept pounding on the barrier, shouting loudly.

“Right now you’re essentially fighting my queen one-on-one, understand?” Norton beckoned, and Nojiko pulled Enel in front of him, saying, “There are no gods in this world. You’re just like us, you ate a Devil Fruit.”

"And if we want to kill you, anyone can step forward!"

Snapped--

With that, Norton snapped his fingers.

call--

Suddenly, a pair of angel wings appeared on his back, and he slowly took flight.

Snapped--

He snapped his fingers again, and in an instant, countless golden flying swords appeared around Enel, all of their tips pointed at him.

Chapter 229 The Arrogant Enel

"Don't think you can act like a god just because you can generate electricity! In our eyes, you're nothing but a naive child who's never seen the world. You think you're invincible just because you beat up some equally naive ordinary people? Ha... how laughable!"

Snapped--

Norton snapped his fingers again with a cold laugh. In an instant, the flying swords surrounding Enel quickly merged together, transforming into a five-clawed golden dragon that opened its massive jaws and glared at him menacingly.

Enel's last shred of superiority was completely shattered by Norton's demonstrated abilities.

He collapsed into the barrier, panting heavily, completely lost in self-doubt and questioning the meaning of life.

"Make a choice! Choose option one: submit to me and come with me. Or just stay inside and die, and I'll still get your reward?" Seeing his expression, Norton knew it was about time and brought up the matter again.

Enel's eyes twitched, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and roared, "You won't submit! I'd rather die than surrender! I am a god! I am the god of this world! Without a doubt!"

"Sigh...this kid is hopeless..." Norton sighed helplessly, turned around and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Noki nodded coldly, and with a thought, the barrier cage began to shrink rapidly.

Enel, inside, was quickly squeezed by the barrier cage and curled up with his arms around his shoulders.

He tried, but no matter how hard he resisted, he couldn't stop the barrier from contracting.

"You...you all..."

"Instead of wasting time spouting useless words, you should make a choice before you die. Do you think what you did on the Sky Island was right? You rebellious brat!"

Seeing that Enel was speechless, Norton provoked him again.

At this point, Enel could no longer maintain his human form and began to transform into an elemental form to resist the compression.

Luffy defeated him, but he truly only defeated him; he didn't kill him.

But this man in front of him really wanted to kill him...

Enel's mindset and thoughts began to shift from despondency and anger to self-doubt, and then to terror.

He was truly terrified...

When he was truly faced with the fear of death, his former arrogance vanished instantly.

"Am I really going to die like this? Am I really not a god? Am I... really wrong...?"

Enel, consumed by self-doubt and fear, was in complete disarray.

But time didn't give him much time to think things through; the barrier had shrunk to the thickness of a lamppost.

Enel, squeezed and helpless, had no choice but to transform into an elemental form, which wrapped around his metal rod.

His own drum was also twisted together, making a creaking sound.

Everything was foreshadowing the coming of death.

"me……"

Under the threat of death, Enel's mentality completely collapsed, and he desperately tried to shout something out.

Unfortunately, this was the last thing he heard.

"Honestly, if you had submitted to me from the beginning, I might have really considered you a brother. Unfortunately, your inexplicable arrogance and sense of superiority, coupled with the sins you committed and your attacks on my younger brothers and sisters, all doomed you to your fate!"

As he spoke, Norton bent down slightly, bringing his face close to the barrier and sneered, "I forgot to tell you, Luffy and Nami, those are my little brother and little sister. You must have taken good care of them when you were on Skypiea!"
