Chapter 50: Enel, Approaching the Power of the Four Emperors!

[At this time, on the Going Merry, only Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and the injured Gan Fall remained.]

[The four of them stared at Enel, who stood before them with a lazy and disdainful expression, cold sweat unconsciously breaking out...]

[The man before them, merely standing there, exuded an aura that made them feel hopeless!]

[Sanji gritted his teeth, "You guys run, I'll hold him off!"]

[With that, Sanji moved swiftly to close the distance, kicking towards Enel...]

["Insects!"]

[Enel coldly uttered a word, and with just a light tap of his finger, an electric current instantly surrounded Sanji!]

[A second later... Sanji's body was charred black, collapsing directly onto the ground.]

[Usopp, who had been preparing to launch a sneak attack with his slingshot, was also caught in the electricity and fell unconscious on the ground...]

[At this moment, Nami was frightened to the point of paralysis, collapsing on the ground.]

[Gan Fall also struggled to stand up, his face filled with solemnity and terror.]

[The man before them was still as powerful as he had been six years ago, strong enough to make people feel hopeless!]

[With a casual wave of his hand, Enel knocked out both Sanji and Usopp, his expression unchanged, as if it took no effort at all. He looked at Gan Fall with a playful expression.]

["It's been six years since we last met. This island has been coveted by everyone, Skypieans, Shandians, and even... Blue Sea people!"]

["Isn't it all for the scarce soil and the piles of gold?"]

["But unfortunately, all of this... belongs to me!"]

["Now that so many people have gathered here, it does add some fun to my boring life. I hope you can live a little longer..."]

[After Enel finished speaking, he turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared on the spot, leaving behind a terrified Nami, a shaken Gan Fall, and the unconscious Usopp and Sanji...]

[Meanwhile, Enel used his Devil Fruit ability to transform into lightning and sped across the island at a breakneck pace.]

[He showed no mercy to any Shandians he encountered, summoning countless bolts of lightning to attack them!]

[None of the Shandians could withstand even a single attack from him, being directly turned into charcoal!]

[Even when someone tried to flee, Enel just stood there, mocking them.]

["The entire island is within my attack range; where do you think you're escaping to?"]

["Million Volt Thunder Cannon!"]

[In an instant, terrifying thunderbolts descended!]

[The sheer force of the attack was like a world-ending thunder cannon falling from the sky!]

[The horrifying thunderbolts accurately struck even from hundreds of meters away, their terrifying power obliterating anything they touched!]

[The aftermath of the lightning was a sight to behold, a scene of utter devastation...]

[Despite the countless casualties and injuries under his lightning, Enel merely treated this battle as a game, casually roaming above the island.]

[His unique laughter, filled with disdain and mockery, echoed throughout the sky above the island...]

Whitebeard Pirates!

"He's so strong!"

Ace's expression changed, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

Although he had watched the live broadcast for so long and had a rough idea of Enel's strength, he was still shocked to see him in action...

Sanji and Usopp were not the strongest, but they were far from weak. However, in the presence of this God of Skypiea, they were effortlessly dealt with, unable to withstand even a second attack! This level of power... it was simply despair-inducing!

What's more crucial is that his true strength remains unknown. Because what he has shown so far is merely a casual flick of his lightning powers. If he were to go all out...

The destruction it would cause would be unimaginably terrifying!

Facing such an opponent, even Ace himself couldn't guarantee a 100% chance of victory!

In the current situation, could Luffy really have any hope of victory?

Or even... a chance of survival?

"Ace..."

Marco approached from one side, gently placing a hand on his shoulder.

He knew very well that Ace must be extremely worried about his younger brother.

But at the moment, all he could offer was consolation...

...

Red Hair Pirates!

"Is this God of Skypiea still treating this battle as a game at this point?"

"The reason for his current attitude is his confidence in his own strength; he has complete faith in his power!"

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit... its reputation is well deserved, truly a convenient and terrifying power!"

"How can Luffy and the others possibly defeat him? I just can't imagine..."

"With such a person, even if he were to come to the Grand Line, I feel his strength is close to that of the Four Emperors!"

Many people were discussing the situation.

As for Enel's first demonstration of his power, they were all shocked.

At least...

Almost everyone present, with the exception of a few key members like Beckman, believed they would be unable to defeat this monster.

Including Shanks, whose face was no longer smiling, but rather filled with seriousness.

"We have indeed underestimated Enel's power; he's not just on the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"The oppressive presence and strength he's showing now... is indeed close to that of the Four Emperors!"

"If he were a pirate, the Marines would have a hard time capturing him!"

"With this level of power and his near-perfect Observation Haki, one admiral would be far from enough, at least two would be needed..."

To receive such high praise from Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, one can imagine just how terrifying Enel's power must be!

At this moment, everyone present was more certain than ever that, in the face of such a formidable enemy...

How could the Straw Hat Pirates possibly win?
