From the time Joshua said he wanted to go the Skypiea, he wanted see if he could get hands on the thunder fruit. But he miscalulated the the time periods, when he saw that the white berets squad was active, Joshua knew he could not to so. With him using the 2 years for training, Enel has already eaten the thunder fruit, destroyed the Bika island then became the new god of Sky island.
Even though this happened, Joshua did not regret using that set time frame and use it for improving, because this was way more beneficial than the latter. So with this transpiring, Joshua has to switch up his plan a little, since the fruit is already found and eaten. Take the person who has now eaten the fruit with him and such figure wis automatically Enel.
In despite of Enel eating the fruit, there is no longer in this either way, Enel may have a god complex but Enel is still very smart and intellectual. After all, he was the one who made the ark with his vast knowledge in mechanics and technology. However, thats no the main point of this, Enel has eaten the thunder fruit, such a fruit can summon the strongest element lightning from the sky, despite of him being beaten by weak luffy of his non conductor fruit.
Enel can be grown to admiral powerhouse just like navy's three highest combat and even stronger than them as well. Because this man wields an element which is vastly stronger and destructive than any one of those three. Due to the fact, Enel appeared way early in the serious, he didn't get much attention after being defeated by Luffy. But when it went further in the serious persons started to realize how much strong of a person Enel could actually be.
With that being said, he was now labelled as a underrated, if Enel continue to grow his powers, have a higher obseravtion haki and learn armament haki. Enel would turn into a real strong person at sea. So now what Joshu wants to do now, is to let Enel join him cause a he will definately be a strong in the future and Joshua needs such person to be on the crew. But he knows, it will not be easy.
"How do you now my name," Enel bloody face flash with a little suprise. Only a few persons now his name and for Joshua to say his name like this, this hit him with a little splendor colour.
"You don't need to know that, just answer the question," Joshua coldly said as he look on Enel on the ground. How he knew his name does not need to know, a matter of fact he will never know.
God's eyes flickered a little, his expression return to his former bland face. Wanting his some background information check on him is not hard. After all, there is nothing to really hide. Hearing what Joshua said after, a mocking sneer appeared on his face.
"Me join your crew," Enel who talked grinned repeatedly and because of such action his bloody face became a little scary.
"How can I god, join some mortal on some petty adventure,"
"laughable..."
"Even if I got defeated, I will never bow by head to a lower class being..."
"....because I am a god!"
Enel who was on the ground laughed hysterically, inspite his bloody face looking a little distorted. His words caused the winds to rush by violently and the ground to shudder fearlingly. Enel statement was full of might and power and his strong and unwavering voice potrayed the demeanor and supreme aura of a god.
Even if, he was beaten and humiliated by a mortal, how can he a god stoop to a mortal level. How can a god and mortal have the have the same preference, how can both be the same, how can both walk side by side. Thats is impossible..
Because mortals are the creations of god, such beings should worship and glorify the all mighty one throughout their entire life. They are only formed for serving and lift up his name on high, cause there existence is just a speck of dust.
A formulation of dirt, life they have is because of him, and air they breathe is because of him and wisdom they have is because of him and so he giveth all these things so he can take them back. They are nothing without him, because he is a omni being, a divine celestial.
A god..
So how can a being like him do such thing, Enel's whose will is unshakeable like Mount Everest and his pride is still as high as the sky. Can never see himself travelling with a mortal, the pride and arrogance which makes up his whole soul will absolutely not let him. Because he is god, so what Joshua just said made him laugh in distain, for he would rather die than doing such a thing.
Joshua whose clothes flustered wildly in the instant rush of the wind, nodded when he heard Enel's response. Because this is expected, he who holds absolute confidence and believes he is the maker of all things, will not do such a thing. For his entire entity is at a place at transcendence, above and beyond everything of this world. A persons who think he is at that point, mere words cannot shake him.
Stomp...
Enel's hands which had a flame rod in it was squashed under the heavy landing of Joshua's foot, he who was still laughing arrogantly stopped. He looked at his hands which was pressed into a dough and his fingers were crooked and bent differently which blood all over them. Then as if the pain started to transfer to his head Enel's expression changed many times until it reached a broken down state.
"Ahhh...," Enel screamed out with bloodshot eyes.
"Damn mortal!" Enel angrily gnashed as he looked on Joshua with a hatred filled gaze. However, Joshua continued as he stomped on both his feet, turning it into a smashed potato.
"How about now,"
'Insolent being, go to hell!"
Enel's whose entiire body was messed up said with eternal fury in his eyes. If he were a real god and his eyes could kill Enel would have wiped out Joshua, no just him but everything around out of existence.
"Still not willing," Joshua eyes shrapen slightly since he still refusing to cooperate, what he has to do is ofcourse respond with more action.
Enel figure which was on the ground slowly lifted into the air.
"Mortal what are doing to me!" Enel who still a fiery and lively gaze angrily demanded when he felt himself being raised. But as before, he went on deaf ears, now Enels' body floated in the air. His hands were lengthen right out and his legs were closly locked, the scene he portrayed was as if he was on a cross.
Joshua straighten his hand out a little, then in his palm appeared a ball of black flames. The whole area around them became dark and the temperature around instant rised to a solidifying, as the corrupt flames distortly moved in his hands.
"Wh..what is this," Enel's expression furious gaze instant changed to heavy dreaded face. Just by its birth, his face has become sweaty, his heart began palpitating, he can sense extreme danger from the black flames. The weird moving flames which seemed to have countless corrupt souls in it, is slowly affecting is mind and now his breathing has become a little hurried.
Its whole being, is just is just full of dark contamination, such a thing is simply not of this world.
Joshua carried forward his hand, the placed it on Enel's chest, the distorted moving thing, quickly spread right across. He who was roaring Joshua stopped as the flame came into contact with his body. It only did he stop speak, but also his whole body stopped moving, it was like Enel became a dead mannequin.
Then a strong throbbing could be heard, his chest expanded a wide margin, this continued as Enel's body started to twitch constantly. His red, blue veins began to pop up on his skin his hands where were broken tremble fiercely. The veins became so visible thats it looked a interwined connected cables, on his face it was also evident. His eyes were really bloodshot and gnashing of is teeth was more harsh.
Then his heart which had swelled arteries began to pound more often and faster and at timely period and out line of a bigger heart will appear. Likewise outside of his body, Enel whole figure seeming looked like is extended then contract to his normal size as this happens then.
"Ahhhhhh...."
Enel who was in the air screamed with an intense sense of agony in his voice. The ground shook slightly as that heavily wailing roar blasted through the air. Enel's body was constantly shaking, the his godly face was smashed to utter ruin.
"Mortal what have you done to me!"
" You dare to do this to a god!"
"Salvation will never come your way!"
Enel roared, madly gritted his teeth as he his complete redden eyes continue to bulge with many coloured veins. He was going through a intense torture, it feels as if millions of giant red ants are biting his whole body.The pain he was feeling was far worse than someone being electrocuted to the brain many times. Each time he moved, he paintakingly grind either is densely veined up hands or feet.
With the negative thoughts of the black flame creeping up on him, Enel can see or even visualize the different totured corrupt souls that live in the bottom of totally blackness. He felt like he was going mad, suffering from the different forms of torture, Enel's face shattered down far than a lunatic.
"It seems like gods can also feel pain," Laffitte who has appeared unknowingly from, where he was, sits on a high broken ancient building look on the tortured Enel with a mocking smile.
"Stop this, this instant!"
"Your hurting the divine body of this god!"
Looking on the continued tortured Enel, Joshua thought over somethings. With him constantly developing his fruit power over the 2 years. It had now reached a stage where, the flame will not just burn your mortal body but it can also burn your soul. Yes, burn the soul, such a thing is even more painfully and torturuous than getting physical hurt.
This is so because, your soul is the whole essence of your being, this is the actuality cause of an individual's life. Without a soul you have no life and you having no life means that your dead. The soul itself is a very delicate thing and even if the slightest hurt happens to it, it can inflict alot of after damage oneself. So now Enel's whose soul is being touched and burnt by the flames, they pain which he is going through one could not imagine.
Enel's face was teribbly veiny and pale, his body keeps twitching repeating. His whole skin was extremely red, the hands which were struggling to move could beacuse it if the broken state of it. His whole self was burning at a horrible degree, constant flow of sweat has repeatedly dappened the earth. The immense wailing from him, even went as far as that even the winds which moves along the air, go about shakingly. This was torture.
"Just stop it already, I can't take it anymore!"
"I'll join,"
Enel weakly said, for him who calls himself a god, to say this. He must really can't bare it anymore, his whole self feels like it was being scorched from the inside. It was like a evergoing, tormented burn which would always be on you, it would never go away no matter how you dig straight into your insides.
Hearing Enel's response, Joshua stopped the flame and let him go, Enel heavily dropped on the ground, his eyes, ears, nose was fiercely running blood. His whole internal organs were visible as he chest was bascially burnt right off. Alot of blood leaked from his body forming a small pool of blood, just looking on the whole figure of Enel it was horrible. The way he looks its not the former high and arrogant god, now he looks like a dying dog.
But if Joshua did not control the output of his flames, Enel would have already been in the underworld.
"Captain, are you going to kill him," Laffitte who has appeared beside Joshua like a shadow in the night said with a smiling face.
"No, he is coming with us," Joshua said as he slowly walks off. Seeing Joshua getting further away, Laffitte held up the leg of Enel and dragged him along the earth.
....
Both Joshua and Laffitte then moved out and the time they appeared on the Sky Island, was where an area where there was a huge golden bell. It was surrounded by many thick clouds and interwined around it were many vines. At several dofferent points, numerous shades of gold twinkled and also dully glowed. Right at the top of such massive object which was of a cubic shape, it had dark blue colour and judgiing from the style of writing the words were in ancient text.
"Poneglyph," Laffitte smiling turned into a surprise one. He have never thought he would see one of these on sky island. With being in the grandline for two years, Laffitte who has gone over numerous things have also stumbled upon thes things. What is known is that poneglyph are mysterious text which tells different history data.
With many of these things all over the world, many pirates are on the search for them cause without gathering all of them one cannot find the Laugh Tale, which is the last island. It was also said that two of the Emperors have their hand on even rare poneglyph.
"System how much is it to read the historical poneglyph," Joshua who was looking on the poneglyph, eyes looked with an indifferent colour.
"150,000 s.pts," the system replied.
"Forget it," Joshua shook his head lightly, he doesn't even have ten thousands points much less ten times that amount. The reason he asked was because, he was slightly wondering what exactly does the full text say. Even though, Robin from the Straw hats said it was gave just some information about Poseidon, that shouldn't be what the whole text say.
But it doesn't matter now, even if he had over a hundred thousand points he woudn't waste it on a ponegltyph which isn't even a red one, so just let it be.
"Captain aren't you going to take," Laffitte who has just seen Joshua walk pass him asked with a slight wrinkled brow. This is a poneglyph , why we are leaving it.
:Not now, but at a later date," Joshue whose eyes flash with a black glint said as he continue walking.
