Enel's furious cursing echoed loudly, reaching everyone's ears instantly. The onlookers were left dumbfounded, was that long-eared guy really cursing at a Celestial Dragon? Did he have a death wish?
Saint Charlos, stunned as if in a daze, roared incredulously, "How dare you insult ? I am the most noble of Celestial Dragons!"
"Your so-called nobility can go to hell!"
In an instant, Enel was surrounded by crackling lightning. With a thunderous crash, he shattered the restaurant's wall and charged towards the obese Saint Charlos.
Panicked, Charlos fired several shots in desperation. Enel ignored them all, his gaze fierce as he transford his hand into a blade, the sound of crackling lightning resonating in the air.
Drawing from what he had learned from Noir, [Chidori], Enel's hand, now a sharp spear of electricity, easily pierced through flesh. Crimson blood splattered, instantly staining half of his face.
But the one Enel had pierced wasn't Saint Charlos; it was the slave that Charlos's father had been leading by a chain.
The slave, seeing Enel charging, reflexively leaped up, standing between Charlos and the attack. In that split second, although Enel hesitated, he ultimately followed through.
Pulling out his blood-soaked arm, Enel looked down impassively at the man now kneeling at his feet.
The man's lips moved slightly, a faint, almost inaudible voice reaching Enel's ears: "My daughter... she's in his hands... I'm sorry..."
"...Thank Y..."
The slave's chest was blown open, a gaping hole where his heart used to be. His eyes wide open, he died at Enel's feet.
Recalling the man's murmurs and the look of relief in his eyes as death approached, Enel felt a strange irritation welling up inside him.
When people are killed, bullied, and tortured, they should be angry, they should seek revenge!
But that cowardly expression, what was that supposed to be?!
The slave's deanor sohow reminded Enel of certain experiences from his past, and the aura emanating from him changed entirely.
If Enel's initial aura was one of conceit and pride, it was now replaced by pure, unadulterated killing intent!
His gaze toward Saint Charlos was now one that viewed him as a dead man.
Charlos, overwheld by the fierce killing intent, collapsed to the ground, but he still stubbornly shouted, "You intend to kill ?"
"No! Impossible!"
"I am a Celestial Dragon, a God! If you touch , you'll pay the price!"
Shalria. who had been maintaining her composed deanor, finally lost it, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
Saint Rosward turned pale, frantically shouting for reinforcents.
The terrified crowd had long since fled in all directions, and the Celestial Dragons' entourage of lackeys quickly surrounded Enel.
Enel sneered, looking at Saint Charlos as he asked, "You think you're a god?"
The image of Noir overwhelming him with sheer, destructive power played vividly in Enel's mind.
A disdainful smile curled on Enel's lips. "Do you know what you really are?"
Saint Charlos's grotesque features twisted in pain as electricity spread across his body. Enel's cold laughter echoed in his ears.
"weakling..."
A bolt of lightning struck, blasting Saint Charlos into the ground. The solid ground was torn apart, leaving a large crater.
In the crater lay an unconscious, misshapen lump of flesh. His clothing and protective gear were completely obliterated, exposing raw, bloody flesh, jagged bones, and foul-slling fat to the air.
Charlos had been reduced to an unrecognizable ss by the lightning strike. Rosward, unable to bear it any longer, cried out in anguish, "My son!!"
Exhaling deeply, Enel felt the murderous rage within him subside slightly. His head instinctively turned to look behind him.
At the restaurant table, Kalifa and Conis were unafraid, smiling warmly, as if they understood his actions.
Wyper, as usual, looked indifferent, but secretly gave a thumbs-up under the table.
Seeing the raised thumb, Enel smirked.
And then, surprisingly, a rare warm smile spread across Enel's face. He was no longer who he used to be.
Yes! He now had so many good... subordinates!
Enel had just committed an act that would shake the world, but despite this, Ace, who had been watching the spectacle, continued eating without missing a beat.
Ace swallowed his food, watching Enel with amusent.
If Enel hadn't reacted in ti, Ace would have intervened himself. The result, however, exceeded his expectations.
And that kind of decisiveness... it reminded him a bit of his brother.
The news of a Celestial Dragon being attacked, with one possibly dead, quickly spread across the Sabaody Archipelago.
Countless Marine soldiers were deployed en masse, swarming toward the scene of the incident.
All businesses on the archipelago ground to a halt, as everyone sensed sothing ominous in the air.
Sothing big was about to happen!
anwhile, at the nearby Marine Headquarters, in the office of the man known as the "Sengoku the Buddha," the phone snail was ringing off the hook, overwheld by calls from the Celestial Dragons and the governnt.
The assassination of a Celestial Dragon was a heinous cri in the eyes of the governnt, and they ordered Sengoku's Marine to capture the culprit at all costs!
Sengoku, sitting in the Fleet Admiral's chair, felt as if his hair was about to turn white from stress. Adjusting his round glasses, he scrutinized the report in his hand.
"Enel, confird to be a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, subordinate of the Devil Noir, currently has no known achievents or bounty."
Sengoku's old face was filled with caution. This Noir, even his subordinates were causing trouble!
A Devil Fruit user capable of replication was a significant threat to the Marine. When Sengoku first received Enel's report, he was deeply troubled.
From the Marine's perspective, the more Devil Fruit users Noir had under his command, the greater the threat he posed.
If it weren't for the governnt's insistence on capturing Noir alive, Sengoku would have opted for a more aggressive approach long ago.
Now, with this opportunity, they had to act quickly and eliminate the threat while it was still manageable!
Sengoku looked up, glancing at the man lounging on the sofa in the corner of his office, a yellow-suited man diligently filing his nails with his legs crossed.
Seeing the man's lackadaisical deanor, Sengoku's head began to throb as he said, "Borsalino, head to Sabaody and dismantle Noir and his pirate crew!"
Kizaru blew on his freshly filed nails, grumbling reluctantly, "Eh? But I'm here on vacation..."
Sengoku's face tightened as he replied, "We can't leave until this matter is resolved!"
Kizaru scratched his head and suggested, "How about sending Kuzan instead?"
Sengoku, on the verge of losing his temper, held back his anger and said, "Kuzan just completed a mission and hasn't returned yet."
Kizaru pondered for a mont, then clapped his hands and proposed, "Then send Sakazuki; he'd be happy to go."
Sengoku's nerves were frayed, his voice trembling as he said, "He's in the New World."
"Then why not send Garp, "
Sengoku slamd his desk and finally erupted in anger, "You're going! Right now! Imdiately!"
"Yeesh..."
Realizing he couldn't shirk the task, Kizaru, who had been planning to clock out on ti, reluctantly pushed open the door and left.
Another overti shift...
Sengoku sighed in relief, but then sothing ca to mind. He quickly leaned out the office window.
Sure enough, the Marine's fastest man was casually strolling along as if he had all the ti in the world.
Sengoku, like an overbearing boss squeezing every ounce of effort from his employees, roared, "Turn into light! Start running!"
Kizaru, pouting in displeasure, placed his palms together and transford into a beam of light, disappearing into the horizon.
Finally, a Marine admiral was dispatched. If they had delayed any longer, even Sengoku, as the Fleet Admiral, would have faced severe reprimands from the Celestial Dragons.
Back on the Sabaody Archipelago, Noir had just walked out of the Revolutionary Army's hideout when he was stunned by the scene before him.
Enel had started a fight with the Celestial Dragons?
Sure, he had done the right thing, but...
He had only been out of sight for one chapter, how had things escalated so quickly?
