The Straw Hats and the man who suddenly appeared with a thunderous entrance looked at each other.
The man seemed bored as he stared at the Straw Hats. He towered over everyone there, and his entrance sent chills down some of the Straw Hat members' spines.
"He must be the God Conis mentioned," said Zoro.
"How'd you know?" asked Luffy, picking his nose.
"Baal told me," replied Zoro.
Enel continued to regard the Straw Hats with boredom, then yawned. However, after his yawn, flashes of lightning-blue emanated from his direction, and he instantly appeared in front of Sanji.
"What the-?!"
Before Sanji could react, he was kicked back several meters from his previous spot.
"Sanji!" yelled some of the crew.
Seeing his cook get kicked in the face, Luffy held his straw hat and glared at Enel, saying, "You'll pay for that!"
Luffy and his right-hand man rushed towards Enel, who still appeared bored. Enel simply dodged both attacks and kicked both of them. However, this time, Zoro and Luffy were more on guard than Sanji, so they were able to block the attack.
Nami, witnessing the intensity of the confrontation, swiftly calculated their odds. "We need a plan," she called out, her voice cutting through the tension.
Chopper, always ready to support his friends, nodded eagerly. "Right! We can't just charge in blindly."
Enel, observing the Straw Hats' exchange, couldn't help but feel a hint of amusement at their futile attempts to match his power. His lips curled into a sly grin as he anticipated their next moves.
Meanwhile, Usopp, ever the tactician, scanned the surroundings for any advantage they could exploit. "We need to find his weakness," he suggested, his mind racing with possibilities.
Robin, her expression calm yet focused, agreed. "Indeed. There must be a way to counter his abilities."
As the crew rallied together, a sense of determination washed over them, binding them in solidarity against their formidable adversary. With their crewmate by their side, they stood ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
"I've had enough fun for today," said Enel with his face returning to boredom.
Enel stretched out his hand and pointed it towards the Straw Hats. Lightning danced on Enel's palm, then suddenly, a burst of lightning shot out of his hand and fired directly towards the Straw Hats. The lightning beam was big enough to cover all of the Straw Hats. However, to Enel's dismay, all the energy changed direction and concentrated in one point: Zoro's sword.
"Hm?"
Thinking it was a fluke, Enel fired another lightning beam, bigger and faster than the last. However, it was still directed towards one of Zoro's swords. The beam was quickly absorbed, and lightning started sparking all over the sword.
"What the hell?" asked Zoro as he looked at Baal.
"Don't worry too much, Zoro, you can fight him as much as you want, and I will absorb his lightning," answered Baal.
-----------------------------
Baal's POV:
I was scared of fighting this bastard before, but now I want to test how far we can go. Right now, Zoro doesn't have Haki, and the only person that can hit Enel is Luffy. I don't know if I can reflect the lightning back to him and hurt him, but I need to find a way to cut him.
"Let's cut him down, Zoro!" I yelled out.
"Ha, what riled you up?" questioned Zoro.
"He looked at me funny."
"I was thinking the same thing!"
As soon as he said that, he dashed forward so fast that to a normal person's eye, it was as if he teleported.
Appearing in front of Enel, Zoro used his left sword to strike Enel's chest with an upper slashing cut. However, Enel quickly dodged and released a thunder attack aimed at Zoro's face. It was again absorbed by me though, and I felt myself getting sharper and faster.
"That sword is annoying, let's get rid of it!" yelled out Enel.
Saying that, a gold staff formed in his palm that he used to quickly strike at Zoro.
"Forgot about us?!" yelled Sanji.
Sanji and Luffy suddenly appeared behind Enel, with Sanji launching a kick towards Enel and Luffy launching his punch.
"Not really."
Sanji's kick went straight through Enel's body, paralyzing him with small bolts of lightning.
"What the hell was that, you stupid cook! Did you miss or something?!" asked Zoro.
With amusement, Enel let Luffy's punch go through him, not realizing that Luffy could hit him without Haki.
His face was brimming with mockery, but then Luffy's fist hit his gut. At that moment, he knew he fucked up. His eyes popped out, his tongue stretched out, and tears, snot, and sweat covered his face.
"Hahahahaha, what a moron!" I laughed.
"No time for jokes," said Zoro, grinning.
Confusion spread across Enel's face. He had never met anyone who could hit him without the object passing through him. We could all see his scared face when he got up from Luffy's punch.
"Man, that was hilarious! But don't underestimate him, Zoro. That cook didn't miss, but his attack passed through Enel's body. It's his devil fruit, a logia type," I said.
"So he's just like that crocodile dude then? Is his weakness also water?" questioned Zoro.
"Stop being a moron, why would lightning be weak against water?"
"Tsk."
"Anyway, I don't know if you can also hit him because of me, but we have to try. So try and cut him, even if it's just a scratch."
"That's easier said than done!"
Even though Zoro knew it would be difficult, he still stood by his captain's side to fight Enel.
"Ready, captain?" asked Zoro with a grin on his face.
"Let's beat him to a pulp!" answered Luffy, with a big smile on his face.
With Luffy's right hand hitting his left hand's palm, Zoro got into a stance ready to assist his captain.

I am really sorry for no updates for 2 weeks. I am really busy right now because of second semester. I have many huge projects that had to be done, so I didn't write anything so I don't get distracted. Just letting you guys know that this has NOT been dropped.
Also, sanji has been getting his ass whoop this whole chapter lmao, I didn't even notice that. Just imagine Zoro and Luffy standing side by side while Sanji is laying down on the floor with his ass up with burnt hair and clothing that's on fire.
