"Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling!"
Dadadadadada——Countless blazing white fist marks exploded on Enel's body in rapid succession! It was as if Luffy, who was in a punching stance in front of him, had fired countless air bullets out of thin air. However, it was not so; it was just that Luffy's speed was so fast that even his fists were invisible!
This so-called 'invisibility' referred to by Roman and other 'experts' was not something ordinary people could comprehend. —Ordinary people facing Luffy wouldn't even realize what happened before they were already dead!
?
Enel, who was instantly stunned, had only three philosophical questions left in his mind: 'Who am I, where am I, and who is beating me?' His tall body was even suspended in mid-air by Luffy's enhanced 'Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun' until:"Gomu Gomu no Jet Rocket!"
Luffy's hands formed tiger claws, using the rubber's stretching ability to extend his hands backward and then suddenly retracting them. The inhuman speed brought by the Gear second state instantly struck Enel's chest, sending this 'god' flying backward like a cannonball!
Boom, boom, boom!
Along the way, whether it was buildings or the ground, rocks or trees, everything was instantly smashed in half by the flying Enel! Drawing a straight 'line' across the battlefield.
?!
"This is impossible!"
Enel, who suddenly stood up from the ruins, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face twisted in disbelief.
"I am invincible, I am the almighty god—"
"Gomu Gomu no Jet Bullet!"
A fist rapidly enlarged in Enel's pupils, smashing into his face before he could react.
??!!
"I don't care if you're a god!"
"You dare to hurt my friends like that—"
Bang!
Another punch fiercely hit Enel's stomach, almost making him spit out bile.
'Calm down,'Enel, who was sent flying, finally came to his senses after a round of beatings.
'Physical attacks are ineffective against me! As long as I become elemental, I have plenty of ways to deal with this monkey—'
Smack!
A high-temperature fist once again smashed into Enel's face, filling his mind with countless '???'Where's my elemental form? Where's my invincible lightning form? What the heck—"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the absolute restraint of Devil Fruits."
Roman, who was protected by Nami, shook his head with lingering fear. In this world, the Rubber Fruit restrains the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and this restraint is an 'absolute' attribute suppression!
Even if it's billions of volts of lightning, theoretically capable of piercing anything! But if it can't harm the Rubber Fruit, it can't harm it at all. Not just lightning, but the massive light and heat generated by lightning follow the same principle.
What's even more terrifying is that Luffy's Armament Haki is still in a state where he can only use it occasionally, but the characteristics of the Rubber Fruit have already given him the ability to forcibly attack Enel, who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
It's simply a natural counter!
Crackle!
Lightning isn't just for attacking. Enel, who was being beaten, finally woke up. As he released a large amount of fine lightning, it instantly spread across the battlefield, interweaving into a jumping lightning net barrier!
Then, using this lightning to move himself, his speed was so fast. It was truly like lightning! In the eyes of others, they could only see a flash of lightning as Enel escaped Luffy's pursuit, so fast that even the afterimages were invisible.
"Huff, huff, huff~~"
Enel, who was almost knocked silly by Luffy's combo, looked at the boy in front of him in embarrassment, having to admit he had misjudged.
"What the heck are you... brat!"
Facing Enel's question, Luffy, with a strong sense of 'pirate spirit,' paused his attack.
"My name is Luffy, I'm a pirate... and a rubber man."
"Rubber?"
What the heck is that?!
Enel knew the opponent was a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, but what was rubber... wait, it didn't matter what rubber was, he must have a weakness!
*Whoosh——!*
Before Enel could think of a countermeasure, Luffy, in his Gear Second state, had already rushed at him again at high speed, his steam-emitting, red-hot fists proving their power.
"Mantra!"
Forcing himself to calm down, Enel immediately activated his Observation Haki, finding the attack routes and flaws in Luffy's swift punches, and countering with his own punches and kicks! But:Luffy had been trained in combat by Garp since childhood! And Enel... a mage used to long-range lightning attacks switching to melee combat was a disaster. —— If it weren't for his abnormal durability, he would have been beaten to the ground by Luffy's flurry of punches!
*Bang, bang!*
This won't work.
After taking two more punches, Enel had to give up the idea of teaching this ignorant Blue Sea monkey a lesson with his fists and used the surrounding lightning barriers to retreat.
Damn, if I still had my weapon, I could use other methods to find this guy's weakness... So, that paper-playing kid deliberately stole my weapon?
Enel suddenly turned to look at Roman, who 'friendly' waved at him.
So it was this guy...Wait!
Since that paper-playing kid is this 'rubber' guy's companion, I can 'hear' this guy's weaknesses from him...So Enel used the surrounding lightning to make high-speed dodges while concentrating, fully activating his Mantra to envelop Roman. What he heard was:'This is a sure win!'
'Easy win...''Watching the show and waiting for surrender——'???
Damn it, what gave you the courage to think this god would lose!!!
Distracted, Enel failed to dodge in time and was grabbed by the neck by an extending arm, then:
"Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol!"
*Bam!*
Enel, once again punched and sent flying, rolled away from Luffy's follow-up attacks, wiping his mouth fiercely.
"On second thought... I don't need to fight you head-on."
Unarmed and facing this 'rubber' monkey who was unharmed by his proud lightning attacks, Enel decided to make a strategic retreat. After all:
"Once I launch the Ark Maxim, I'll blast you and this broken island into the Blue Sea. —— Without you, I'm invincible!"
*Crackle*,With a flash of lightning, Enel teleported away!
The opponent had an invincibility cheat, all attacks were zero damage. Not running would mean getting beaten up~~~As a 'rational' god, Enel's decision was very wise. —— Many bosses couldn't swallow their pride and insisted on a showdown with Luffy, only to be dragged to death.
"He ran away, Luffy, chase him!"
Facing Nami's shout, Luffy, who had been using Kamui, stood still, his red skin and rising steam gradually disappearing.
"Ah, I'm exhausted."
Plop,He sat down on the ground, turning his head with a look of someone who had just run 30,000 meters with Seastone handcuffs and then did a thousand push-ups in one go, completely drained.
—Or more directly, like someone who hadn't eaten for three days.
"Roman~~~"
"Got it."
Roman, having regained some strength, opened his palm, and a piece of paper with a large iron-bucket mouth appeared, then the mouth in the picture spat out.
Large chunks of meat, large barrels of wine.
Since boarding the ship, Roman had always prepared these exclusive items to 'replenish' Luffy.
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
Gulp, gulp~~
"Great, I'm revived!"
"Be careful, Luffy."
After eating and drinking heartily, Luffy jumped up energetically, ready to go after Enel again. Roman had to remind him.
"Although the thin air at this high altitude reduces the burden of Gear Second on your body compared to below, but—"
"Hehehe,"
Facing Roman's reminder, Luffy just grinned.
"Roman, when you face an enemy, don't you give it your all?"
..."Understood."
Rustle~~Sheets of white paper flew out from Roman, forming a large bird.
"That guy has already started to ascend."
In the distance, a giant golden ship was slowly rising. At the same time, thick smoke billowed from the 'chimney.' —Of course, it wasn't smoke, but thunderclouds created by Enel's ability!
"Let me give you a lift, Luffy."
"Oh! Thanks, Roman—" —————— ----
