Chapter 200: Hollow Technique
"You two are already quite impressive. Even a Marine Vice Admiral would have to take Carmen seriously."
"However, Marine Vice Admirals generally use Haki, so Carmen would still face difficulties if not cautious."
Ryujiro shifted his gaze to Kun.
"Kun's physical skills have reached the level of a Marine Commander. He can be considered as a minor expert even on the Grand Line. You two have really surprised me this time."
Ryujiro's gaze was filled with appreciation as he looked at the two.
The two, feeling embarrassed, lowered their heads. "If our strength were too lacking, we would only drag Captain down."
Ryujiro remained silent, offering a faint smile.
Raising his head, Ryujiro gazed at the sky. If Enel's senses truly covered the entire Skypiea, he would know the situation best.
Could he really act as if nothing had happened?
At that moment, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the clear sky, followed by the roaring sound of thunder.
"Boom—Boom—"
The descending lightning transformed into a lightning column, but the terrifying lightning was instantly deflected by an invisible force.
Kun and Carmen were still trying to understand the situation when Ryujiro's figure suddenly vanished, crossing the space in an instant.
In the Shrine, Enel's brows furrowed.
The aura of that guy had disappeared from Skypiea?
How could that be?
His Mantra covered the entire Skypiea, and no one could evade his perception. Yet now, under his Mantra, Ryujiro's aura was nowhere to be found.
Strange.
Suddenly, Enel's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock as he stared straight ahead.
Ryujiro looked at Enel with a smile.
"Blue Planet people, when did you break into the Shrine?"
Enel's face darkened. This was the domain of the gods. Anyone who entered the Shrine without the god's permission was offending the divine.
"Is that so?"
"Did you not notice? I was already standing here a few seconds ago."
Ryujiro said.
"Are you joking!"
"This god will not believe your words!"
Enel shouted angrily.
"Zizz—zizz—"
The lightning crackled, as if thousands of birds were chirping. A brilliant bolt of lightning transformed into a silver snake that danced through the air.
The lightning surged and roared.
Ryujiro remained expressionless, extending his hand as green energy interlaced effortlessly to dissipate the lightning.
Enel's once arrogant expression slowly became rigid.
"What have you done!"
His lightning had never been so easily neutralized. Lightning was his power, his claim to being 'god'.
"Good power."
"But this power is only so much."
Ryujiro remained composed and effortless throughout.
Enel's expression turned fierce. He struck the drum behind him.
A lightning bird, woven from lightning, flapped its wings and emitted a piercing sound.
"Screech!"
"Thirty million volts! Thunder Bird!"
"Don't be so arrogant!"
"God is beyond human reach! You scum who defy the gods, vanish in the thunder!"
Thirty million volts—this was beyond human endurance. The previous discharge was only ten million volts.
This man could never be his opponent!
The Thunder Bird let out a thunderous cry that echoed for miles, its flapping wings like tearing lightning blades, heading straight for Ryujiro.
Ryujiro's response was simple.
With a single slap, as if the fierce Thunder Bird was made of paper, it was scattered effortlessly.
"How is that possible!"
"I don't believe it!"
Enel's eyes widened in disbelief!
The Thunder Bird was scattered with just one slap from Ryujiro. What kind of monster was this man!
Suddenly, Enel's pupils narrowed.
He lost sight of Ryujiro.
Where!
Where!
Where did that person go!
Enel desperately used his Mantra to locate Ryujiro, but at that moment, he felt a hand grip his shoulder.
In an instant, Enel shuddered, looking at the hand on his shoulder in disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
Since eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it had been years since anyone could touch him. He was the embodiment of lightning—how could a mere human touch him!
"So, you are just a slightly bigger frog in a well."
"Logia-type Fruits don't mean invincibility. Even powerful Logia users have methods to counter them."
"Want to see a wider world?"
"Come aboard my ship and see how vast this world really is."
Enel's body trembled slightly. Ryujiro's words struck a chord within him, and he was indeed moved.
But he could not accept that he was the same as before, that weak and bullied figure from the past!
I! Enel! Am a god!
I should control everything!
"Stop joking! I am a god! How can I be beneath mere humans!"
"Unforgivable! You have offended the wrath of the gods!"
"All of you shall die!"
Rubble flew, a terrifying wave of energy swept the surroundings, and cracks in the ground widened. The entire Shrine was in ruins from the lightning's power.
A cold glint flashed in Ryujiro's eyes as the lightning rampaged. Tiny silver snakes danced, and under the infinity, no lightning could touch Ryujiro.
The lightning gathered, enveloping Enel. The lightning expanded violently into a giant hundreds of meters tall, its dazzling light shining across the entire Skypiea.
The Shandians hiding in the dark felt the destructive aura from the lightning giant, their faces showing fear.
"Is that Enel?!"
"Can we really defeat such a monster?"
"Even from so far away, we can feel that suffocating power. Do we still have a chance to reclaim our homeland?"
The Shandians' minds were blank as they looked at Enel in this state, feeling that all their efforts so far had been in vain.
Wyper's face was serious. What kind of person was fighting Enel!
Two hundred million volts! Thunder God!
"Die at my hands!"
Enel roared angrily, and terrifying lightning surged, turning nearby buildings to dust with the pressure alone.
Ryujiro exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue"
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red"
The two types of techniques overlapped, resulting in an irreversible change.
For the first time, Enel, transformed into a Thunder God, felt the crisis of death!
Ryujiro flicked his fingers.
"Hollow Technique: Purple!"
