Usopp and Chopper stood frozen, staring at the scene in disbelief. The once-crowded battlefield was now littered with the remains of the Divine Soldiers, their weapons and armor scattered across the ground. The threat that had seemed insurmountable just moments ago had been wiped out in an instant.
Nami slowly pulled away from Coby, her eyes wide as she looked up at him. "That was… incredible," she said, her voice filled with awe.
Coby grinned down at Nami as he released her. Luffy, Robin, Zoro, and Sanji approached, bruised and battered but clearly victorious. The priests were no match for the crew's persistence and teamwork, and their defeat sent shockwaves through the island.
As the crew regrouped, a distant commotion echoed through the forest. The Shandians, hearing the clash and realizing the defeat of Enel's priests, decided to take advantage of the chaos. Their warriors, led by Wiper, geared up for an all-out assault against Enel, seizing the opportunity to strike while the priests were down.
Meanwhile, Conis and Pagaya, feeling guilty for their earlier deception, decided to make their way to the Upper Yard. Conis couldn't stand the idea of the Straw Hat Pirates facing such dangers alone, especially after the kindness they had shown her and her father. Pagaya, despite his reluctance, followed his daughter, determined to offer whatever help he could.
At the same time, in his temple high above the clouds, Enel sat comfortably on his throne, his long earlobes twitching as he sensed the changes in the air. The defeat of his priests didn't faze him—instead, it amused him. A slow grin spread across his face as he drummed his fingers against the armrest of his chair.
"Interesting," Enel mused, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Things just got more entertaining. It seems I'll need to deal with these intruders myself."
He stood up, his body crackling with electric energy. The air around him buzzed with power as he prepared to descend from his temple and confront the challengers who dared to disrupt his rule. His eyes gleamed with anticipation—finally, something worthy of his attention.
Back on the island, the crew wasn't aware of the storm that was about to descend upon them. They were still catching their breath, taking a moment to appreciate their victory over the priests. Luffy stretched his arms above his head, a wide grin on his face as he looked at his crewmates.
"That was fun!" Luffy exclaimed, always eager for the next challenge. "Let's keep moving!"
As they made their way deeper into the island, Coby turned to Luffy. "Captain, can you leave that fake god to me?"
Luffy frowned, clearly eager to face Enel himself. The idea of letting someone else take down such a powerful opponent didn't sit well with him.
"I'll leave the next big opponent to you, I promise," Coby added, trying to sway Luffy's decision.
Luffy thought for a moment, the gears turning in his head. "But you took down Crocodile," he countered, his tone filled with lingering frustration.
Coby sighed, still regretting about that fight. He didn't earn any SP from that fight at all. It was a total waste of time. "I know. It won't happen again."
Luffy considered his words carefully, then finally nodded. "Fine, but I want the next two."
Coby paused, mentally running through who the next two major threats would be. Rob Lucci and an Admiral. He could let Luffy handle Lucci, no problem, but an Admiral would be a different challenge altogether. Grinning, Coby agreed. "Fine."
Luffy squinted at him, sensing something was off, but he shrugged it off quickly, focusing back on the path ahead. Coby had been accumulating Skill Points for a while, planning to use them for Enel's ability. He was set on gathering as many as possible before confronting the self-proclaimed god, hoping to copy some of Enel's powers. That was why he had yet to copy Mantra—not that he could afford it yet.
Before they could move forward, a bolt of lightning struck the ground in front of them, sending a shockwave through the clearing. The crew jumped back, startled by the sudden attack. From the center of the impact, a figure emerged, his body crackling with electric energy.
Coby grinned as he said, "You can go and have fun. Leave this place to me."
Enel stood there, his body crackling with electricity. His expression was one of pure arrogance as he stared down the crew. "Did I allow you to leave?" His voice echoed with a sense of superiority.
Before anyone could react, Coby shot forward with blinding speed. He used his Super Heavy Stealth Foot Punch, driving his fist straight into Enel's face. The impact sent Enel flying through the trees, crashing into the ground with a loud thud. Enel's eyes widened in shock as he tumbled, clearly not expecting to be hit. He felt the attack with his Mantra but he had assumed that Coby's fist would pass right through him, just like any other physical attack.
"How…?" Enel muttered, staring up at Coby with disbelief.
The crew watched the scene unfold, confusion written all over their faces. Luffy rubbed his eyes, trying to process what had just happened. "Is that really the strong enemy Coby was talking about?"
Coby smirked as he stared down at Enel. "Don't act like you're a true god just because a few weaklings who can't touch you due to your Logia fruit worship you. You're nothing."
Enel slowly got to his feet, his body still crackling with electricity as he glared at Coby. "You dare mock me?" His voice was filled with rage, but beneath it was a hint of uncertainty. He had never been hit like that before. He couldn't understand how Coby had managed it.
Coby had three weapons against Enel: the Gomu Gomu Pistol, which he had copied from Luffy and could use to land hits on the self-proclaimed god by turning his fist into rubber, Uchimizu, a water-based attack that could act as a projectile, and his jitte, a solid tool that could counter the powers of Devil Fruit users like Enel.
As the battle raged on, Enel recovered from Coby's earlier strike, his eyes narrowing in anger. The air crackled with electricity as Enel stood tall, his presence imposing and dangerous. "I won't let you touch me again," Enel hissed, his voice laced with arrogance.
Coby knew better than to underestimate Enel. The puny god's Observation Haki, or Mantra as it was called here, made it difficult to land consecutive blows. He needed to be unpredictable, to use his abilities in ways that Enel couldn't foresee.
Without wasting time, Coby launched his first attack. "Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" His fist stretched out toward Enel, the rubbery limb shooting forward at high speed. As expected, Enel's Mantra kicked in. He easily dodged to the side, smirking as Coby's fist slammed into the ground, missing its mark.
"Predictable," Enel taunted, summoning a spear of lightning and hurling it toward Coby. The electricity crackled through the air, bright and deadly. Coby quickly sidestepped the attack, but the lightning struck the ground behind him, sending shockwaves that rattled his bones.
"Not bad," Coby muttered, shaking off the static. He decided to change tactics. Gathering water in his hand, he unleashed "Uchimizu!" The water bullet flew through the air, straight at Enel's chest.
Enel's Mantra allowed him to sense the attack, and he shifted to the side just in time. "Water? You think that'll work on a god?" he sneered, though there was a flicker of caution in his eyes now. Coby wasn't just relying on brute force—he was mixing up his strategies.
"How about this?" Coby called out as he detached his hand using the Bara Bara Detach Hand technique. His hand flew through the air, light as a feather thanks to Ms. Valentine's 1 Kilogram Form. He aimed it right at Enel's head, the speed and unpredictability making it harder to dodge.
But Enel's Mantra didn't fail him. He sidestepped again, smirking as Coby's hand zipped past him. "Too slow!" he laughed, preparing to unleash another lightning attack. But just as he raised his arm, Coby made his move.
"Super Heavy Sniper Pistol!" At the last second, Coby increased the weight of his detached hand to 10,000 kilograms using Ms. Valentine's 10,000 Kilogram Form. The hand, now a massive projectile, shifted its trajectory mid-air and slammed into Enel's side with tremendous force. The impact sent Enel crashing into the ground, creating a crater where he landed.
Coby grinned as he reattached his hand. "Got you that time."
