Third Person POV

...

The Kingdom of Prodence is located in a part of the New World, between the beginning and the middle of those waters, a little past Dressrosa. It is also part of the World Government. Most of the kingdom was occupied by rural areas, with small villages scattered across the island, and there was a large capital at the center of the country. For Prodence, the economy revolved around all kinds of things, from fishing to agriculture and trade of products exported and imported from other kingdoms.

A curious aspect of the kingdom was its strange castle in the middle of the capital, which seemed to take on the appearance of the current king. For as soon as he took the throne, the castle had completely changed, resembling the king himself and his fighting style, with the roof raising two arms with boxing gloves. He was recognized by all inside and outside of Prodence as a powerful and strong man, whose punches could destroy an entire city. Everyone in this kingdom took pride in him.

While the king, Elizabello II, was now in his throne room, talking with his ministers, he was seated on his enormous chair, still wearing his boxing gloves and fighter shorts, with a lack of a shirt showing his bare chest, wearing only a cape and a crown on his head, as if he were ready to fight at any moment.

"My king, we must prepare to leave the kingdom in the coming months. After all, the summit of all the kingdoms that are part of the World Government will be gathering at Merry Geoise..." murmured his minister.

"Yes, I am well aware of that, but I don't know why I feel that something is going to happen before that." He murmured, feeling a strange sensation over the past few days. It was a feeling he couldn't deny, some sort of warning, as he sighed and looked out the window, seeing his kingdom in the distance.

"I know what worries you, my king. The New World is really in turmoil. We don't know what will happen in these waters, and even Prodence could be affected by the conflicts happening everywhere... Not to mention, there are rumors of a great battle brewing in Wano, as we all know, a fight involving three Yonkou that will decide the future of the New World." Said the minister, showing open concern.

"Yes, it's true. Perhaps I'm thinking too much about this and worrying about what could happen to all the kingdoms. Maybe I'm mistaken, and this is just reminding me to demand some solution from the World Government, after all, the New World has become more chaotic than in the last 20 years..." He responded as they continued to talk.

At that moment, above the kingdom, a shadow was flying through the sky, passing through some clouds. The day was sunny, but there were a certain number of clouds in the sky. The large shadow began to reflect the sunlight due to its golden color, as Enel controlled the object flying calmly for the past few days, finally reaching his destination since leaving Black Pearl.

Enel's ark was approaching the capital of the Kingdom of Prodence, as they had been ordered to do, with Luffy giving a mission to each of the groups that had scattered throughout the New World.

"A bit too high up here," Perona murmured, looking down while floating and observing the kingdom with curiosity.

"You don't even look like someone who's been to Skypiea then..." Domino murmured while also gazing down.

"Let's just get this over with. We need to get back to the Master. I'm sure he'll love my new explosive cookies. He'll feel an explosion of flavor!" Baby 5 said with a proud tone, while Perona and Domino looked at the woman smoking a cigarette as if she were an idiot.

"Let's follow the orders then." Domino, wearing a military uniform with the Straw Hat symbol on her chest, said in a serious tone as she adjusted her glasses.

"Tsk." Enel had been controlling the ark the whole time, sitting in the middle of the ship, without mingling with the demon women during the entire trip. He ignored them and looked at the kingdom below with his incredible Observation Haki, observing what was happening below as if he were a god. "It seems our target is in the castle..." he murmured.

"Hm?! What is this?!" Elizabello II quickly sensed someone observing him with his semi-developed Haki, but it was enough to notice eyes spying on him as if he were nothing, which scared him, unable to imagine how arrogant this person must be.

"Did something happen, my king?!" The ministers quickly noticed the strange behavior of their king and became concerned.

"Something is going to happen..." He now spoke seriously, rising from his chair and looking out the windows.

Meanwhile, the cloud beneath the ark drifted away, and a child playing ball in the middle of the street felt the sunlight shining on him, only for another shadow to quickly block it. He noticed a very strange shape for a cloud, as his eyes looked up with one hand trying to shield his eyes from the sun. But he couldn't see anything other than the bright sunlight.

Back on the ark, Baby 5, looking at the miniature city from over 4,000 meters above, took her first steps in her heels and maid outfit. "Well, anyway, let's finish this." Baby 5 said, simply jumping off the ark and descending towards the ground while flying using Geppo.

Domino shrugged and jumped from the ark right after her, in free fall, while Enel, without saying a word, transformed into lightning, leaving a trail in the air, speeding past them thanks to his Akuma no Mi and heading towards the castle.

The only one who remained was Perona, who didn't seem too happy about being left behind with her ghosts. "Hey, hey! Damn it, I'm going too..." Perona murmured, soon flying after them.

The entire capital heard a loud thunderclap in the open sky, with only a few clouds, exploding straight down toward the king's castle.

Enel caused an explosion as soon as he hit the ground, watching closely for any movement inside the castle and waiting patiently. The women soon arrived, landing nearby. This immediately alerted everyone inside the castle, and the king looked out the window, seeing four individuals standing in front of his castle, with one of them inside a crater from the lightning explosion, calmly looking up at him.

"Who are they?" he murmured, simply jumping out the window, unable to recognize them from that distance as he approached, not that he had much choice.

"Hey, let's go!" The other ministers said, following him down alongside their king. When they got close to the group, one by one they began to recognize them.

"Who are you?" one of the ministers asked, frowning as he observed the group.

"I know who they are... They're the Straw Hats," the king said, narrowing his eyes. Domino.

"We're here to negotiate," Domino said.

"Negotiate? What do you want?" the king asked, not liking the situation one bit.

"Simple. Our captain desires a meeting with you in Dressrosa. He just wants to talk, but he said that even if it's just for a conversation, he still wants to meet you in person." Perona said, turning her face arrogantly.

"You think you can come to my kingdom and tell me what to do?" the king murmured with irritation, clenching his fists. He would never accept that.

"Well, if you don't agree... we'll have to take you down and drag you by force, inferior being..." Enel said in a disdainful tone.

"How dare you call the king an inferior being, you pirate?!" one of the ministers shouted, enraged, drawing a sword from his waist. He seemed to be a knight as well.

"Hmph, mortals..." Enel murmured and attacked. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky onto the group, catching the king and the others by surprise. Only the king managed to escape; the others were electrocuted.

And Elizabello II looked on with anger.

"Well, let's finish this. We just have to take him down," Enel said, walking toward him.

"Alright," Baby 5 said as she transformed her arms into weapons. Domino grabbed her whip. Meanwhile, Perona crossed her arms and turned her face away, not wanting to get involved just yet.

"The king is fighting! Listen, the king is facing pirates who have invaded our country!" The palace guards who witnessed everything began to run and shout, while more guards were called. The townspeople, going about their daily tasks, wondered what that lightning strike was and looked fearfully at the king's strange castle, questioning what would happen next.

At that moment, explosions erupted in the castle courtyard, catching everyone by surprise, as lightning strikes and blasts occurred, sending debris flying. All of this happened as Baby 5, Domino, and Enel fought against the king, who quickly tried to punch them. He was able to defend himself from Baby 5 and Domino, but Enel was something entirely different for him to handle.

Enel simply appeared beside the king and hit him at a speed Elizabello II couldn't properly react to. The king clenched his teeth in anger, trying to regain his balance after being knocked several meters back before standing up again with a frustrated look.

The king tightened his fists and punched with great force, causing the ground beneath them to explode, though he refrained from using his full power. This quickly started an intense battle between them, with the castle walls being destroyed. Perona, from a distance, watched with her ghosts.

"I'm not getting involved in such a fight. They look like a bunch of idiots..." she muttered mockingly.

Though the king managed to stay on his feet, he wasn't in good condition. "Fight one-on-one!" he exclaimed after a while, as more guards continued to arrive at the scene.

Enel then stepped forward. "Very well, mortal. It's time for you to witness the power of a god," he said with an arrogant smile.

Baby 5 and Domino didn't argue, knowing all too well about Enel's arrogant nature.

"Hey, don't interfere either. Otherwise, we won't be friendly..." Domino said, looking at the crowd they could easily overwhelm.

"Remember that the captain ordered us not to kill anyone from this kingdom. It must be preserved!" Perona said at the end.

"..." The crowd looked at each other, unsure of what to do, while their king was about to fight Enel of the Straw Hats.

"Come on then, Logia. I'm confident I've developed my Armament Haki over the last year..." the king said as his fists began to turn black, finally able to strike elemental fruits.

"Let's begin, mortal. I hope you won't be disappointing either," Enel said in his usual tone as lightning began to manifest around him.

In the next moment, the king took the initiative to punch him in midair, while Enel vanished, transforming into lightning and rushing toward the monarch.
