"Damn blue sea people! You actually angered me!"

At the Birka ruins on Sky Island, Enel pointed at Rhine and his group and shouted angrily.

It used to be Enel's hometown, which was destroyed by himself 6 years ago.

And after being defeated by Luffy, Enel didn't dare to stay in Skypiea any longer, and he moved here for the time being.

At this moment, everyone was standing on Enel's ship which was made of gold.

Huge ships capable of flying to the moon --

The Ark Maxim.

It's just because the device was secretly destroyed by Laffitte and Doc Q who were sent by Rhine some time ago.

That's why Ark Maxim couldn't start for now, and Enel couldn't go to the moon.

"Gulu~"

Nami, who was standing behind Rhine, saw Enel's face and secretly swallowed.

Even though she had already experienced the life-and-death battle at Enies Lobby, she still couldn't help but get nervous when facing this man.

No way, after all, Enel gave them a sense of deterrence when the Straw Hats landed on Sky Island.

That's far from what Crocodile or Rob Lucci can match.

"You've already been defeated by Luffy, and you're still putting on such nonsense, but Luffy is also your weakness."

After talking to himself, Rhine raised his hand to make a "bring it" gesture to Enel.

"All in all, you can go to the afterlife with peace of mind, I will use your Devil Fruit to strengthen my crew."

"Peasant! Let me show you the majesty of God!"

Enel was suddenly furious.

The previous loss to that damn rubber man had already made him full of anger.

Then two freaks wrecked his ship.

Now there is another blue ocean man who dares not to take him seriously.

The golden staff in Enel's hand beat the drum behind his back.

Crash!

Arcs of blue light flashed across Enel's body.

And it inflated rapidly in less than two seconds, turning into a roaring tiger beast at extreme speed.

30 million volts Thunder Beast!

"It's coming! It's his ability!"

Nami paled with fright.

And Robin wasn't much better.

That ability is really too tricky.

If it wasn't for Luffy's rubber man insulation physique, they would've all died on Sky Island back then.

Rhine looked up at the Thunder Beast that was roaring and galloping towards him.

The entire arm of Rhine's right hand was covered in Armament Haki, turning black, and then he raised it in front to protect himself.

Hiss!

The beast bit Rhine's arm head-on.

"It really hurts."

Although Rhine said so, his expression didn't change significantly.

However, the side effect of the Dark Fruit is that it takes double damage when attacked.

While blocking the Thunder Beast with his right hand, a pure black and ominous dark energy suddenly rose from the palm of Rhine's left hand.

"That was the ability he used... when he beat Luffy before..."

The pupils in Robin's beautiful eyes suddenly constricted.

She saw this move once before at Thriller Bark.

Luffy was defeated by this trick.

And as predicted, Enel on the opposite side instantly felt an inexplicable suction force.

Immediately afterwards, he uncontrollably flew towards the hand covered with dark energy raised by Rhine.

In the next second, he felt the tactile sensation of his throat being pinched, and he saw Rhine's mocking expression.

"Damn it! I will execute God's punishment on you immediately!"

Enel almost gritted his teeth and cursed.

He got ready to cast Elemental in no time, escaping Rhine's bondage with Thunder Fruit's Lightning Teleport.

However, at this moment, Enel, who always had a contemptuous personality, widened his eyes in disbelief.

He couldn't... Elementalize?!

Van Augur, who was standing at the back, carried the sniper rifle on his shoulder, and said indifferently:

"No matter how proficient you are with your Devil Fruit, if you rely too much on the fruit's ability, once the ability is taken away, you will be so vulnerable."

"This guy is not as strong as 'Fire Fist' Ace."

Van Augur had just finished speaking when Rhine grabbed Enel by the neck and slammed him on the deck of the ark.

There was a loud bang, and Enel's head fell to the ground.

The whole ark shook violently.

After a while, Enel stretched out his hands on the sides of the deck and pulled his head out forcefully.

The turban that was originally tied on the top of his head fell off, revealing the afro inside.

"Hahaha! What kind of hairstyle is that!?"

Burgess laughed.

Feeling the sharp pain in his head, Enel reached out and touched it.

Immediately afterwards, he saw blood on his hands.

While the raging anger in his heart was completely ignited, his face was also full of puzzlement.

Why?

Why is this guy able to touch him even though he is obviously not an insulator like the rubber man?!

However, Enel has no time to think about these things now.

First, there was Luffy, now there is Rhine.

One by one, these guys stomped on his ego.

It's hard to solve the hatred in his heart if he doesn't crush these damn blue sea people to ashes.

Thinking of this, Enel's whole body was surrounded by blue electric light.

And it kept expanding, expanding again.

About ten seconds later, Enel's body swelled as huge as a building.

200 million volts Thor!!!

Rhine, who was standing below, raised his head and glanced at Enel in this state.

Hum——

Strange fluctuations that make the scalp tingle reverberated in the air.

A liquid-like, gas-like dark energy surged from Rhine's back, covering the area in an instant.

"Darkness and lightning, who is stronger? Let's see!"

...

Burgess, Laffitte, and the pirates who were the crew members of the Blackbeard Pirates before, turned around and jumped off the ark without saying a word.

"Run! Run!"

"The captain has shown his power!"

"If you get involved, you will die!"

Perona, who was floating in mid-air, froze for a moment, then quickly turned around and flew in the opposite direction, shouting coquettishly:

"Hey! You ugly monsters wait for me!"

Robin also quickly grabbed Nami's hand and said:

"Nami, let's go too!"

Seeing Rhine's body gushing out, it felt like a dark tsunami that would cover the sky.

Although she hadn't figured out what Rhine's ability is, Robin, who has been in the dark world for twenty years, can deduce it intuitively.

That thing is dangerous!

Almost the moment Nami and Robin jumped off the ark, Enel, who turned into a thunder titan, and Rhine, who released dark energy, collided in various ways.

Rumble!!!

For a moment, the Birka ruins echoed with deafening explosions.

The slowest Nami and Robin were caught off guard.

They were about to be involved in the aftermath of the explosion produced by the collision between the two sides.

"Hey! What are you two idiots doing?!"

Perona, who was halfway flying, saw this scene.

After gritting her teeth, she finally flew over quickly.

She carried the two girls in one hand and flew out quickly.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Nami obviously didn't expect Perona to help them, and after a while, she thought of apologizing.

"Nami! Look!"

Robin paled and pointed down.

Looking down, Nami was also startled and trembled, almost falling off Perona.

She saw the ark below... No! Almost the entire island is occupied by two strands of energy, one blue and one black.

The two sides are like two violent beasts, constantly biting and gnawing at each other, fighting to devour the other party.

"I'm exhausted! Why are you two so heavy?!"

Finally, Nami and Robin, carried by Perona, who was out of breath, flew back a few miles away and stopped on the Sunny in the White Sea.

"I didn't expect you to be so kind."

Nami was deeply surprised.

"...Cut it! I just don't want that perverted captain to vent his desire on me after the two of you are dead."

Perona curled her lips and said arrogantly.

In fact, it can be seen from the fact that Zoro was stranded in Hawkeye's castle in the original book, he was discovered by Perona and she helped him to treat his injuries.

Perona's nature is really not that bad.

"That guy developed his Goro-Goro no Mi very well, but he is no match for our captain."

At this moment, Van Augur, who was standing on the other side of the ship, spoke again:

"In this way, the Thunder Fruit is also ours, and this is also... fate."

Hearing what the other party said, the three of the girls turned their heads to look.

They saw the blue and black energies that were at loggerheads just now.

The blue side has been gradually swallowed by darkness.

"Observation Haki + Thunder Fruit is really powerful, but can your body keep up with the speed of your prediction?"

At this moment, Rhine appeared behind Enel like a ghost.

Hearing Rhine's voice behind his back, Enel's face changed drastically, and he didn't even turn around, but immediately hit the drum on his back with his golden rod.

"60 million volts Brontosaurus!"

The roaring Thunder Dragon launched a 360-degree non-dead angle attack in a disk-shaped state.

However, Rhine's right foot below the knee seemed to be filled with Armament Haki and dark energy.

As if he possessed Kizaru's speed, with both hands in his pockets, he kicked.

A fusion of dark energy and Armament Haki contains unimaginable explosive impact.

With a "puff boom", it first kicked the hovering Brontosaurus, and then hit Enel's right ribs with undiminished power.

Boom--

Enel was smashed directly into the wreckage of the side of the ark.

Just now, it was flanked by two of Logia's most destructive and evil ability users.

The Proverbs of the Ark has long been reduced to a piece of dregs.

Enel's dream of going to the moon has finally come to an end.

But he himself is unlikely to leave Sky Island, let alone his ship.

"Uh..."

Enel resisted the severe pain from all parts of his body, gritted his teeth, and crawled out of the ruins.

"It's really like Blackbeard facing Ace."

Rhine smiled.

It was the same as Blackbeard who thought it was a pity to kill Ace directly.

At this moment, Rhine couldn't help feeling that it was a pity to kill Enel.

Because he really developed his fruit extremely well.

However, it is a pity.

There was no way Rhine would let Enel go.

Because his aggressive character is the type that is absolutely impossible to submit to others.

And Rhine has a principle for accepting his crew.

That is, you must surrender to him!

Obviously, Enel can't do this.

Buzz~

Rhine's hands raised the power of darkness again.

"I will accept your Devil Fruit."
