Chapter 460: Ian Teaches a Lesson
Damn! Feels great!
When his punch landed solidly, Ian couldnt help but cheer for himself.
Due to his expertise in using swords, Ian rarely resorted to using his fists to settle matters during combat. But this ti, well, Enels position was just perfect! Even Ian couldnt resist using his fist. The feeling of punching soone directly in the face sotis felt even more satisfying than cutting them with a sword.
Enel was struck directly in the nasal bone by Ians punch, causing him to fall backward and blood to spray into the air.
He was completely stunned by Ians punch, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. It was nothing like he had envisioned, where Ians fist would seemingly pass through his ethereal form. Instead, he, the almighty god, found himself bleeding from the nose, courtesy of a re mortals blow!?
Ians punch was powerful, causing Enels nasal bone to collapse, and the impact sent him crashing into the ground, rolling a considerable distance before finally coming to a stop.
The pirate hiding behind a big tree, witnessing this scene, was shocked beyond words!
Having been imprisoned on this sky island for years, he knew very well how powerful the god Enel was. So when Enel suddenly appeared just now, he thought he was dood and quickly hid, hoping that this person who saved him could buy him so ti.
However, the developnt of the situation completely exceeded his expectations. Instead of dominating, the god Enel was being suppressed in every way possible, and now he was even punched and sent flying by his savior.
This Could it be that the person in front of him was even more powerful than a god!?
For a mont, the pirates once-clouded future suddenly shimred with newfound hope
Enel climbed up from the ground, shook his head slightly, and regained his senses. His face wore an expression of disbelief as he reached out, wiping the blood trickling down his nose with a trembling hand, and his gaze fixated on the crimson stain.
You you! Enel, at this mont, finally felt a hint of fear, pointing at Ian and said, How could you possibly hit my divine body!?
Hehe! Guess! Ian clenched his fist, and his joints made a cracking sound filling the air. He was quite satisfied with his punch just now.
Impossible! Enel gritted his teeth and said, I am a god! No one can defeat . I shall kill you and teach you the dire consequences of defying divine authority!
Ian let out a resigned sigh, realizing that this guys Chniby syndro was quite serious. Even in this situation, he still believed he was a god?
Unable to resist the temptation, Ian beckoned to Enel with a curl of his finger and said, Co, co, let
show you what it ans to be human!
Hmm that line had a nice ring to it
Ians taunting expression successfully ignited Enels fury. With a swift motion, Enel swung his golden staff and gripped it with both hands, assuming a defensive stance.
Seeing Enel wielding his weapon, Ian naturally drew his Senbonzakura blade. In the next second, their figures clashed head-on.
Clang! A deafening sound rang out, freezing the scene. One could see Enels golden staff and Ians black blade colliding. Enel clenched his teeth in frustration, while Ian wore a smile on his face.
Enel possessed a modicum of battle acun. When he realized that his prideful Devil Fruit powers were ineffective against Ian, he understood that he would have to rely on martial arts for battle.
It had to be said that in this mont, Enel finally grasped the elusive key to challenging Ians might.
His thunderous power was indeed formidable, but no matter how powerful it was, it had no effect on Ian, who could control lightning. On the contrary, if Enel used martial arts in combat, his ability to teleport at lightning speed would pose a headache for Ian.
Enels teleportation was more ferocious than Kizarus Light Fruits light-speed movent!
Why? Because Kizarus light-speed movent could only be conducted in a straight line. Ian discovered this during their battle against each other. When he moved in irregular directions, Kizarus light-speed movent couldnt necessarily catch up to him.
However, Enels thunder-based teleportation was different. He didnt follow the rules of light propagation in a straight line; he could teleport wherever he desired.
Especially when there were conductive materials nearby, he could even rge with them and move within.
The two engaged in dozens of lightning-fast clashes, with Enel taking the offensive and Ian defending. Gradually, Enel sensed the changing rhythm of the battle and realized that his attacks had gained an upper hand.
Hmph! Enel couldnt help but reveal a smile on his face. As he continued to clash with Ian, he spoke, I see it now. You cant keep up with my speed!
Is that so? Ian replied and swung his sword casually.
Enel raised his golden staff, preparing to block the attack just like before. However, at that mont, black flas suddenly surged from Ians blade. Combined with the Haki coating on the blade, it effortlessly sliced through Enels golden staff as if cutting through butter.
With the staff broken, it was unable to withstand the blade. If Enel hadnt been holding the staff with both hands, leaving so distance between the staff and his chest, Ians strike would have cleaved him in half!
Even so, Ians blade grazed Enels chest, leaving behind a massive wound that cut deep into the bone.
Enel let out a miserable scream and transford into lightning, moving far away from Ian in an instant. Only then did he gaze at the wound on his chest.
No blood flowed from the wound because the flas on the Hellfire Sword had already seared it shut at the mont of impact. It served as a ans to stop the bleeding, but this strike still dealt a heavy blow to Enel.
Enel possessed cunning on the battlefield, and so did Ian. He knew very well that he couldnt keep up with Enels teleportation speed. Hence, he played an unexpected move.
Enel had no knowledge of Ians ability to infuse flas onto his sword. Thus, Ians attack caught him off guard. Honestly, if he had evaded every one of Ians attacks, Ian wouldnt have been able to harm him. However, Enel chose to block Ians sword, and that was his own fault
In fact, if Ian had followed up with a Flying Slash while injuring Enel, he could have easily killed him. But Ian chose not to take that path.
The Goro Goro no Mi, the fearso Thunder-Thunder Fruit, was an incredibly rare and formidable Logia Devil Fruit. Its power was undeniable. If it werent for Ians abilities countering Enels lightning-based attacks, combined with the dominance of his Haki-infused strength, Ian might have suffered a disastrous defeat at Enels hands.
Facing Ian, Enel was destined to taste defeat. However, it was uncertain whether he would face the sa fate against others. Truth be told, in Ians eyes, if Enel were placed in the Blue Sea, he would easily beco one of the Shichibukai, and possibly even rank among the highest. What Ians Dragon Hunters Pirate Crew lacked was precisely this caliber of top-tier combat power. Thus, Ian pondered the possibility of recruiting Enel to his side, rather than simply disposing of him.
Originally, since Ian got hold of the Gluttony Fruit after killing Wapol, he thought he should carry another a Fruit and see if defeating Enel would grant him the Goro Goro no Mi. However, the likelihood of such an occurrence was uncertain. The Goro Goro no Mi was already a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit, and there was no telling if the sa degradation would occur as it did with the previous Fruit.
If, in the end, Ian obtained a Devil Fruit like the Eleki Eleki no Mi (Electric-Electric Fruit) or a lesser fruit that rely induced paralysis or electric shocks, it would be of little use.
Therefore, Ian opted to explore the possibility of recruiting Enel. In this matter, he had a greater chance of success.
Enel, in terms of personality, was an egotistical maniac, believing himself to be a god due to his long-lasting invincibility. From a psychological standpoint, individuals like him, once dethroned from their godlike status, would obediently submit. Such people tended to be more superstitious about power. When they realized soone stronger than themselves existed, they experienced a trendous psychological gap, which in turn bred deep reverence for those surpassing them in strength.
Ian wasnt certain if Enel would react in the sa manner, but he had to give it a try. After all, he held the advantage in this regardEnels lightning could be controlled and manipulated by him. This ant that Enels greatest strength beca a massive weakness in Ians presence.
If he could enlist Enel to his cause, Ian would gain a trendous ally, and the re thought of it was delightful.
Hence, now, Ians objective was to rcilessly tornt Enel, reducing him to tears, rendering him helpless, and making him question his very existence!
And this, my friends, is Ians thod of teaching soone a lesson
Absolutely flawless!
