_________ POV Narration _________
Robin's lecture was a lot more straightforward than Enel's.
Only being related to the Ancient Script, the basics of it and deciphering the first few words in a simple text that they had prepared beforehand.
Enel didn't have much input for the rest of the lecture, but plenty of people were still sotis looking over at him, especially the higher-ranking figures of the Revolutionary Army.
People like Belo Betty, Morlay(who was taking up a quarter of the room by himself), Karasu, Ivankov and even Sabo and Dragon were constantly looking at Enel with curious gazes.
Ivankov especially was looking at Enel with quite a bit of appreciation. Having been part of the war, he was well aware that many of his people were unhard thanks to his lightning.
He had only co to Baltigo in order to et Enel in the first place, as he wanted to thank the Lightning Emperor in person.
Well, the lessons were mandatory, he would've had to learn the contents of them even if he failed to show up for the class itself.
There would be more classes in the future, but Enel, who was by this point considered the Master Archeologist of the group, only lectured in the very first class.
The rest was to be handled by Nico Robin, the only survivor of Ohara.
Ivankov could tell that, for so reason, Enel was a lot more experienced as a professor. Robin herself wasn't bad, but the queer king could still tell that she was a bit uncertain in places.
Enel, by contrast, was completely confident in each and every word that he had spoken, even when admitting that he didn't know shit about so things.
It was endearing though, all of the head figures, and everyone that knew about Enel's feats found him endearing.
Not only was he strong enough to make the World Governnt bend backwards and constantly get in their way without any repercussions.
Hell, Ivankov was shocked when he heard about one of the secret weapons that the World Governnt could employ. The most shocking part was that Enel had faced it, and was completely fine.
Now, usually, he wouldn't believe a claim like that without any evidence. But these were the words of an actual Emperor of the seas.
Enel was a person that didn't need to brag about his strength, as it was already recognized by the world to be at the very top.
Ivankov waited diligently till the end of the lecture, just as everyone else did. He morized as much as he could from Robin's lecture.
But the job of the high officials was just to have a basic understanding of the language, not to know it by the back of their hands.
They could choose to learn it earnestly, but knowing it was still the job of the Archeology Team. So, Larthy, the leader of the archaeology team was the one that paid the most attention to the lecture.
The blonde woman had managed to fill out half of each notebook that she had brought with her.
She was also the most likely to follow all of the future lectures as well, and the higher-ups would likely just learn from her notes.
It was mandatory for her subordinates, the rest of the mbers of the Archeology Team, to also attend these lessons with her, so they all had their own notes to rely on.
Enel walked off the podium with a smile on his face, he sidestepped the questions from the Archeology Team with a smile on his face as he walked out the door whistling.
Ivankov followed him, and Dragon decided that he would likely just visit him afterwards.
Larthy seed to have more questions for Robin, as the two of them left the lecture hall together.
Ivankov managed to run into Enel after asking around a bit, he got directions to his ho and managed to find him on his way there(with so luck).
"Enel-chan~ So glad to finally get a hold of you~!" Ivankov's sensual voice reached Enel's ears, as the Sky King's spine trembled in fear.
'What the fuck?!' He looked around slowly, the sweat on his brow accumulating as he sighed when seeing that it was just Ivankov.
'I forgot about him...' Enel had felt soone approaching when he was mulling over his thoughts, but he wasn't exactly in a state of high alert while in allied territory.
"Ivankov! Haven't seen you since the war! Glad to see you are healthy..." Enel asked, his poker face not breaking one bit when the queer king winked a few tis at him.
"We didn't speak all that much, but I had heard about you before..." Enel said as he shook Ivankov's arm with a cordial smile.
"Oh! I didn't know little old was so famous!" Ivankov said, sounding sowhat flattered as he randomly turned himself into a woman.
In his female form, he looked completely different, a lot taller and better proportioned.
Enel sweated a bit as he started rembering more about Ivankov's ability and how busted it was.
'Was he even originally a man?! It's honestly impossible to tell or know...'
"By the way, your previous lecture was quite enlightening..." Ivankov said as she started rearranging her hair and makeup.
"I wouldn't mind a private lesson-"
"I'm afraid I don't have ti for that... I, unfortunately, don't have long to spend with the Revolutionary Army, but I am flattered by the proposition."
Enel's tone was extrely polite, Ivankov sweated a bit as she felt as if she was speaking to a corporation or a politician, or both.
In the end, the queer king/queen decided to stop joking around.
"Enel... On a serious note, I want to thank you for saving so many of my people during the war." Ivankov's words lost their usual 'sensual' tone, being replaced by a marginally more serious one.
Enel raised an eyebrow at that, he was a bit confused until he rembered that plenty of Ivankov's n and quite a few revolutionaries were there helping Luffy rescue Ace during the war.
"No need to thank ... Our goals aligned back then, I saw no use in letting so many die..." Enel's voice was calm, but it was also quite cordial this ti around.
He was clearly appreciating Ivankov's gratitude and the fact that the Queer King had felt the need to thank him in person.
"Well, you had no obligation to save my people. Nor did you have any obligation to save so many marines and pirates that day.
The casualties of war were relatively small after your lightning started interfering."
Ivankov crossed her arms and flashed Enel a wide smile.
"Well, that was all I wanted to say... Even if you don't end up allied with the Revolutionary Army, know that you will always find an ally in the Kamabakka Kingdom."
Ivankov then walked away, swaying her hips as she walked forwards, making Enel sigh a bit when thinking about the situation.
The Kamabakka Kingdom wasn't a horrifyingly powerful nation, but they had their fair share of powerful fighters, all masters of the Okama Kenpo.
Plenty of the people in that Kingdom also knew Haki, and with Ivankov they were actually a force to be reckoned with even on the world stage.
'I guess doing good deeds does pay off sotis...'
Enel didn't regret saving that many people in the war. He hadn't done it expecting sothing, but in doing so he had managed to not completely burn the bridges with the marines, and gain new allies in many parts of the world.
Now, saying that he didn't burn the bridge with the marines was a bold claim. But it was the truth that most of the high-ranking figures in the marines weren't outright hostile to him.
Enel had the power to kill a lot of people during the war, yet he choose to protect the marines as well. That was also why Sengoku, Akainu and Aokiji even felt like they could rely on him to save Garp.
Enel sighed, no longer thinking about the war and starting to look into other activities that he could get into while waiting for the information he had requested from Dragon.
He also started thinking of ways to improve Robin's training. He had Garp's techniques, and they worked great short term, but they needed one to have an extrely powerful ntality in order to bear with them.
Enel could tell that Robin was slowly reaching her limits, so he needed to adjust a few things. He didn't want to make it too hard for her.
'She has 2 years to get stronger. I'll just help her build a foundation, the rest will likely be done by the rest of the Revolutionary army.'
Enel then proceeded to go on with his day, not really bothering to do much else besides planning out Robin's new training program and looking for ways to appease his boredom...
'Maybe I should've given Ivankov so private lessons after all...'
Enel laughed a bit at his own thoughts as he rembered his conversation with the Queer King.
'Welp, I still have to rebuild that engine Enel had originally created... I've yet to figure out how to make it more compact...'
