Seeing Marco was okay, Katakuri felt relieved, but he was also shocked. Marco's recovery ability had reached a terrifying level.
It can recover from such a powerful attack without any visible signs of injury. That's truly remarkable.
"That's impressive, Marco. I didn't expect you to progress so much"
Katakuri said, clenching his fists unconsciously. He had been training hard to surpass Marco, but it seemed Marco's improvement had outpaced him.
Katakuri is feeling a bit down because he knows the chance of beating Marco right now is slim. However, he puts aside his feelings and focuses on dealing with Enel.
"Although I don't know who you are, but with such ability, you shouldn't be an unknown person, but I have never heard of you from Oyaji. 'i'm curious about who you are,"
Marco said while looking at Enel.
"You're right to be curious. With my power over thunder, very few can withstand it. But you're different from that guy. His body's naturally immune to me to my power"
Enel replied.
"That guy?"
Marco asked, slightly puzzled. Although he didn't understand who Enel was talking about, Enel was still quite tricky for him. After all, he had no means to attack Enel.
Next, Katakuri and Marco teamed up to attack Enel. But under Enel Mantra, foresaw their moves and dodged them effortlessly by transforming into electricity.
Enel's incredible speed made it impossible for Marco and Katakuri to land a hit on him. Even though they tried their best, they couldn't help but frown in frustration.
"Marco, this isn't working. Got any other tactics?"
Katakuri inquired.
"Isn't your Observation Haki also able to predict the future? Can't it deal with him?"
Marco asked.
Katakuri shook his head. "No, his Observation Haki is stronger than mine. I can't predict his moves anymore, and even if I could, I can't keep up with his speed. It's too difficult."
Hearing that, Marco felt a bit helpless. This guy wasn't easy to deal with. The real question is, how did someone like him suddenly show up in the New World?
He clearly has powers, but he doesn't seem to know Whitebeard's name, and Enel doesn't look like someone who just got a Devil Fruit power.
Enel's mastery of his power is obvious. It must have taken years of practice to reach this level. That's why Marco is really curious about Enel's identity and what his purpose might be.
"Can you tell me your name?"
Marco suddenly asked Enel during the battle, and Katakuri also joined in to halt the attack.
He saw Enel immediately show an expression of arrogance, raising his hands above his head as thunder roared around him.
"I am God! Enel!"
Hearing Enel's proud voice from the sky, Marco became even more suspicious. He had never heard of the name Enel, and Katakuri hadn't either.
"Enel, why are you attacking Oyaji's crew?"
Marco asked right away.
"Why? It's because he suddenly sent me some information about the location of Fairy Vearth, and on my way back here, I kept hearing the name Whitebeard everywhere. It's irritating me a bit"
"Is his strength are powerful than mine?"
While talking, Enel showed strong anger. He hadn't seen Whitebeard, but he was full of prejudice against him. So, after meeting Whitebeard's people, Enel wanted to challenge them.
Marco and Katakuri exchanged looks, then Marco spoke up: "If you really want to meet the old man, we can take you to him."
"You don't need to bring him, I can find him myself anyway. I just want to defeat you now!"
Enel said confidently.
Enel's expression is serious, filled with determination. He's obsessed because he refuses to accept that he can't handle even Whitebeard's men. His pride won't allow it.
Marco felt a bit helpless. This battle seemed unavoidable, but retreating wasn't an option for him.
"Well, I admit you're strong, but dealing with both of us won't be so easy"
Marco stated, readying himself for combat.
"Then try it!"
Enel suddenly yelled, slamming the taiko drum on his shoulder. A blue thunder dragon appeared in the sky, tens of meters long, swimming and rolling amidst the thunderclouds.
The thunder power radiating from the Thunder Dragon was terrifying even from a distance. Marco and Katakuri felt a life-threatening danger from it.
Even Marco's recovery power couldn't keep up with such an attack, which hit them dozens of times.
"Be careful!"
Marco said solemnly.
"Welcome to the judgment of the gods!"
Enel gave a cruel smile and raised one hand. Quickly, he brought it down. The thunder dragon in the sky instantly struck, and Marco and Katakuri jumped to both sides.
However, the Thunder Dragon's speed was incredibly fast, crashing down in the blink of an eye. The thunder burst violently, filling the area with subtle currents.
Marco and Katakuri weren't directly hit by the Thunder Dragon, but the burst of thunder dragon still affected them. They each received some minor injuries from the aftermath.
Marco stopped flying and his clothes were damaged. Clearly, after a long battle, his recovery ability had reached its limit and he couldn't keep up anymore.
Katakuri was slightly more injured. Unlike Marco, he couldn't recover, but he could still fight. To prevent Enel from landing another blow, Katakuri quickly created a mochi barrier between them.
The mochi barrier wasn't to block Enel's attack, but to obstruct his view so he couldn't keep attacking them, at least buying some time.
