======================

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Smoke and dust fill the sky.

One after another, towering trees were knocked down and broken.

Enel was covered in blood and was embedded in the ruins.

His state of embarrassment reached the extreme.

"Whoosh..."

There was a flash of lightning, and he appeared in the distance. 

"Cough..." He staggered a little, and blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Enel's distorted face shows complex emotions such as shock, unwillingness, anger, fear, and disbelief: "Impossible, I should be invincible, why can you hurt me? "

"Is it Sea Prism Stone? No..."

In the opponent's hands, there is no Sea Prism Stone.

Just now, with his Mantra and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he predicts Luke's movements.

On top of that, he thinks his elementalization is invincible.

The other party cannot hurt him at all.

Therefore, there is nothing to fear.

Unexpectedly, he was hit hard all of a sudden.

This made him a little unbelievable and at a loss.

"Rumble-Rumble Fruit is indeed one of the top devil fruit in the world!"

Luke looked directly at Enel, who was in a state of embarrassment and no longer as high-spirited as before, and said calmly: "It's a pity that you are too weak and far from being able to exert its true power!"

"You..."

When Enel heard this, his eyes were filled with fire.

He, who has always been arrogant and prideful, was naturally angry when he was belittled by Luke in this way: "You are so complacent; I was just careless just now!"

He stared at Luke fiercely and there was a fierce murderous intent in his eyes, then he furiously yelled: "You're just a bug from sea, I won't give you any chance again!"

The words have not yet finished.

His entire body turned directly into lightning.

Suddenly, he appeared in the sky about ten meters away from Luke.

"Boom!" 

The golden staff in his hand suddenly struck the drum behind him.

"Sixty Million Volts: Thunder Dragon!!"

All of a sudden, lightning flashes everywhere.

"Roar—" A lifelike thunder dragon roared out with its fangs and claws reaching out.

Then, with an astonishing speed, it pounced on Luke fiercely.

"Shadow Shield!"

However, Luke didn't dodge; he just raised his right hand directly, and the black shadow surged like fluid.

In an instant, it turned into a huge black shield and stood firmly in front of him.

"Boom..!."

The thunder dragon hit the black shield hard, but it didn't break, while the menacing and extremely ferocious thunder dragon actually collapsed on impact.

The intact black shield shrank back like a fluid and flew to Luke's feet before turning back into an ordinary shadow.

"What!?"

This scene made Enel's eyes widen, and he was a little surprised.

He never expected that someone would block his invincible move.

"How is it possible? Is this what you are capable of?"

Staring at the strange shadow, Enel felt a little confused.

Although he was on Sky Island, he, as the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, still had some understanding of the general types of Devil Fruit.

But this kind of ability is really weird and beyond his knowledge.

"Paramecia: Shadow-Shadow Fruit... this is my devil fruit!"

Luke said nonchalantly.

Immediately afterwards, he raised right hand and spread his fingers, then countless shadow strings intertwined and surge in the palm of his hand.

"Shadow Cage!"

In Enel's shocked eyes.

"Swipe... swipe..." Numerous black strings flew out of Luke's palm.

Thousands of strings randomly rush in all directions. 

"Huh?" Enel's expression changed.

Relying on Mantra's ability, he dodge swiftly.

The shadow strings that shot out one after another were narrowly avoided.

But the golden staff in his hand was cut off by the tough and extremely sharp black thread.

"Whoosh..."

In the blink of an eye, countless thin black strings directly penetrated countless trees, rocks, buildings... all over the entire island, which was an extremely frightening sight.

Even the thick mountain was penetrated by ruthless, sharp black strings.

The entire island has become covered with densely packed black strings, making one scalp numb.

"Want to block my movement?"

With vigilance, Enel gently scratched the inaudible black strings with his right hand, and the sharp shadow string easily cut his fingers.

"It's useless; my body is like lightning!" Enel, who was unscathed, felt relieved.

As long as these weird black strings can't hurt his body.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

"Yeah?"

Luke chuckled.

Shadow Cage is one of the moves developed on the basis of Shadow String by borrowing the ability of String-String Fruit.

Somewhat similar to Doflamingo's Birdcage.

Of course, although these shadow strings are tough, they are not indestructible.

After all, Luke eats the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, not the String-String.

If it is not reinforced with Armament Haki, it will not pose a direct threat to those truly strong and can be easily torn or destroyed.

However, the purpose of Shadow Cage is not just to surround enemies.

But to better cooperate with the ability of Shadow Warrior. 

This allows him to freely move around the battlefield and take the initiative.

"In the sea, there are many people with Logia devil fruit abilities like you, such as light, flame, magma, ice, snow, wind..." Luke crossed his arms and said bluntly: "There are many people who are stronger than you, don't be too arrogant. "

"Recognize reality, Enel!"

"It's just Paramecia, stop talking nonsense…"

Enel was outraged.

Realizing that the enemy in front of him has mastered some unknown method and can really hurt his own body.

No matter how conceited he was, Enel no longer had any reservations.

"Sizz… Sizz…"

The lightning gathered, making him extremely dazzling and difficult to look straight at.

For a moment, Enel's whole body was gushing with intense electric lights.

His figure expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Two Hundred Million Volts: Thunder God!!!" A large amount of lightning materialized.

Then, it turned into a bloated giant made of lightning in the blink of an eye.

It was indescribably shocking.

Relying on Logia's elementalization capabilities.

Enel, who transformed into the god of lightning and had full combat power, ignored the obstacles of those shadow strings and rushed out.

"Go to hell, bug!"

Like an angry-eyed King Kong, his whole body was shining with intense electric light.

Enel was exuding an astonishing aura and murderous intent.

His palms intertwined with terrifying lightning slammed down.

"Boom!"

Luke looked calm, and he suddenly disappeared from where he was in an instant.

"What!?" Enel's pupils shrank sharply, and his hair stood up.

The strong Mantra predicts crises in an instant.

But there was no time to turn around.

"Boom!!"

A sharp kick hit him on the back of his head mercilessly.

"Ah..." An unimaginable pain came, and Enel's consciousness fell directly into darkness…
