In the image, everyone witnessed Luffy's peculiar state.
It left all who watched this live broadcast in utter disbelief...
Now, what's this all about?
Is he deliberately acting like a fool during this pivotal battle?
Is he essentially offering himself up for defeat?
But the very next moment, as the scene continues to play out, the audience comprehended why Luffy was in this state.
In the process, their initial bewilderment transformed into something even more profound...
[Luffy wore an utterly bizarre expression and remained motionless in his position.]
[Enel was stupefied, and even Nami, who stood behind him, shared in the stupefaction, unable to fathom what he was up to!]
[However, Enel swiftly launched another attack!]
[He didn't care about Luffy's intentions; all he desired was to eliminate him!]
[From now on, the only person in the world immune to his own lightning would fall!]
[Yet, the moment his golden trident thrust forward, he was taken aback...]
[Luffy had evaded his strike in an instant, and his own Mantra couldn't anticipate his movements!]
[His thoughts were impenetrable!]
[No insight into his intentions; his Mantra was rendered futile!]
[Enel's cohorts were left dumbfounded as this was the first instance his Mantra was incapable of reading thoughts!]
[This supposedly simple Straw Hat kid not only nullified his thunder and lightning but also negated the effectiveness of his Mantra!]
[How could this be possible?]
[Enel was incensed and relentlessly thrust the golden trident with added thunder!]
[The speed was astonishing; it even left an afterimage!]
[But, in the face of these attacks, Luffy, now in his fool mode, effortlessly dodged them one after the other.]
[His body was akin to seaweed in the ocean, undulating continuously, and remained unscathed...]
At this point, all those watching the live broadcast were as stunned as Enel...
They couldn't comprehend how such a battle scenario was possible!?
Nonetheless, individuals like Whitebeard, Shanks, Garp, Sengoku, and even the Three Admirals did comprehend.
And at this moment, their astonishment reached its pinnacle!
Their expressions were a marvel to behold!
There was only one thought running through everyone's minds!
Can one truly achieve this?
They naturally grasped that Luffy's current Fool Mode allowed him to empty his mind, leaving no thoughts to be detected.
Thus, he was able to outmaneuver Enel's so-called Mantra.
This method of subverting the Mantra... It was beyond the imagination of ordinary individuals!
Let's call it... a stroke of genius!
[After launching attacks for a considerable time, even Enel himself was exhausted.]
[He had to cease the assault, panting heavily.]
[Yet, Luffy remained unscathed, standing there with the expressions of a fool...]
At this moment, Luffy also snapped out of his fool mode, understanding that evading Enel's Mantra to avoid attacks was futile.
This couldn't continue!
Although he could outmaneuver Enel's Mantra to avoid harm, he couldn't counterattack!
This was fundamentally illogical!
Soon, Luffy's mind sparked, and he upgraded his fool mode!
As we all know, Luffy, while usually foolish, boasts exceptional combat talent!
Every time he faces a dire situation, he pushes his strength to new limits!
And now, too...
[After he uncovered this new method to combat Enel's Mantra, Luffy sprinted away without a glance back.]
This scene once more left Enel baffled...
What is he attempting to achieve!?
Luffy ran towards the ark's wall, his back to Enel, and then he struck the wall with all his might!
Thanks to his Gomu-Gomu Fruit abilities, Luffy's arms could stretch and bend limitlessly!
At this moment, Luffy's arm repeatedly hammered against the wall and then catapulted backward!
He began bombarding indiscriminately in the ark's empty expanse!
Luffy's assaults accelerated, with punch after punch leaving afterimages!
Within a mere second, this half of the field was engulfed in an array of countless fist shadows!
"What in the world is this?" Enel pondered, unable to grasp Luffy's intentions and was uninterested in doing so. He simply wanted to dispatch this bold troublemaker before him.
In his rage, Enel wielded his golden trident and charged towards Luffy.
However, just five steps forward, Enel regretted his decision...
He found himself pummeled relentlessly by the storm of fists!
In a single second, at least fifty punches or more!
Enel's visage contorted grotesquely; he spat out blood and was flung upside down...
"I can't believe it!"
At this moment, he finally understood why Luffy had pounded his fists against the wall. So, that's it!
And Luffy's actions left many influential figures watching the live broadcast in awe!
What an extraordinary battle strategy!
Who would have conceived such a brilliant idea!
In their hearts, they could only articulate one phrase:
This was a genuine stroke of genius!
At this moment, they were all stunned by Luffy's actions, and a sense of sympathy for Enel couldn't help but emerge in their hearts...
Harnessing such formidable Thunder Fruit powers had proved futile; instead, he encountered Luffy, a fighting genius who thwarted him with his unconventional and unpredictable fighting strategies.
Empathy.
If they were in Enel's place, enduring a battle like this,
And being baffled and irritated by Luffy's eccentric fighting notions,
They might just go insane...
