Chapter 170 A brief battle

What do you mean?

Enel heard the voice in his ear, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Before Enel understood what Rhodes meant, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck the next moment.

‘When! ? ’

Feeling the power coming from his neck, Enel was shocked and angry.

It has been a long time since anyone dared to do this to him.

No! Compared to this!

Enel's mind flashed, and he wanted to activate his own ability to element the captured part, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

His neck was indeed tightly grasped by the other party!

Swish——

Rhodes grabbed Enel's neck tightly, and his body moved suddenly, ejecting him from the Polar, and then he stepped suddenly in the air, and slammed Enel to the ground with him.

Boom! ! !

Accompanied by a violent roar, Enel was pressed hard to the ground, and on Rhodes' arm, the domineering aura kept surging, launching waves of attacks on Enel.

‘It’s not seastone, but the so-called Haki?’

Enel spit out a mouthful of blood, staring at Rhode.

‘However, why is this guy’s Haki so strong!’

Although it is not convenient to communicate between Sky Island and Qinghai, there have been many people who have landed on Sky Island through other means over the years, and among those people, there are many who have mastered Haki.

However, except for the first time he was injured because of carelessness, after that, even those who have mastered Haki were vulnerable in front of Enel, and a thunderbolt could completely defeat them.

As the God of Thunder, he has invincible power!

And this is the first time that Enel has encountered such a powerful Haki!

“Luo, Bakara, hurry up and prepare the ceremony!”

Rod controlled his Haki to surge, and attacked Enel in waves, making him unable to use his abilities at all, and turned his head to order Luo and Bakara.

Although Enel has developed his fruit ability quite well and is strong enough, he has been hiding in Sky Island after all. He is slightly lacking in both combat skills and vision. It would be great if he could rely on his carelessness to "kill him at first sight".

"I am a [God]! You bastard, die!"

Enel roared, and then his whole body burst into dazzling light.

"The strongest discharge, 200 million volts!!"

As Enel roared, a terrifying thunder sounded, and his whole body burst into dazzling lightning. At the same time as the lightning burst, a terrifying energy that made people tremble also emanated from his body.

"200 million volts!?"

Gray looked at the battle over there in surprise.

The strong current and the heat generated by the current were transmitted to Rod's body, causing Rod's body to stiffen slightly.

Even with his well-trained physique, he could not be completely immune to the damage of lightning.

However, the next moment, Rod's face showed a more excited smile.

The lightning attack hurt him!

While Rod was stunned, Enel suddenly exerted force and forcibly broke free from Rod's restraints. His body instantly turned into lightning and appeared in the distance, looking at Rod and his party with angry eyes.

"Damn bastard, you completely pissed me off!"

Since eating the Thunder Fruit, mastering the power of lightning, and becoming a true [God], Enel has not suffered such damage.

Boom! Boom!

The golden stick in Enel's hand hit the two drums behind him, and dazzling lightning burst out from the drums.

Thunder Dragon! "

Just now, Rhodes caught his entity without noticing. Enel started with a big move. The lightning that burst out from the drums behind him turned into a huge thunder dragon, carrying terrifying power and rushing towards Rod.

"Just in time! "

Excitement flashed across Rod's face, and the domineering aura that had been flowing through his body instantly dissipated.

I originally thought that I couldn't find anyone who could hurt me in the first half, but I didn't expect that this trip to Sky Island would bring me unexpected gains.

This kind of lightning attack can not only cause damage to myself, but also make the golden finger of [What doesn't kill me will make me stronger] work. Even the lightning itself can stimulate the body and promote the improvement of physical fitness.

If you use domineering aura to fight the enemy, it would be too wasteful!

Rod's footsteps swayed, and he distanced himself from the Polar, and during this time, Enel's Thunder Dragon directly caught up with Rod, and the burst of lightning instantly submerged Rod.

Boom!!

A terrifying shock wave suddenly erupted from the lightning, instantly blasting away the surrounding electric current. Rod's body surface was slightly charred, but there was a wild laugh on his face.

"It's powerful enough! "

Bang!

The ground beneath Rod's feet collapsed instantly, and his body rushed towards Enelu.

When he fought Aokiji on Drum Island before, even though he knew that if he withdrew his defense and allowed Aokiji to attack him, he would suffer great damage. However, considering Aokiji's strength and the positions of both sides, Rod still did not dare to let go completely, for fear that he would be wiped out by Aokiji if he was not careful.

After all, in Rod's pirate group at that time, except for himself, no one else was qualified to fight Aokiji.

But there was no such worry when facing Enelu.

He only has super attack and destructive power because of the power of the devil fruit. In terms of comprehensive strength, he is probably the same as Crocodile. There is almost no possibility of him going too far.

Moreover, even if he really went too far, with the current strength of the Rod Pirates, it is enough to deal with Enel.

Rod clenched his fist and swung it hard at Enel.

Bang! !

The heavy fist hit Enel's abdomen, making him bend down uncontrollably, and his stomach was churning.

‘Too fast! ’

Enel's eyes were slightly white, and his mind was in a trance.

Although he had predicted Rod's actions in advance with the ability of the ‘heart net’, the opponent's actions were too fast, and he didn't even have time to transform into an element.

“Discharge!”

Enel forced himself to be alert, and the dazzling electric light burst out from his body again.

Feeling the current flowing in his body, Rod's mouth curled up.

But, was it too heavy?

Seeing Enel's slightly white eyes, Rhode silently retracted his strength.

This guy is not as tough as Crocodile.

"Natural!"

On the Polar, Nia looked at the battle between Rhode and Enel with shining eyes.

Finally!

After missing Aokiji and Crocodile, she finally saw a natural devil fruit user.

Nia's hands on the side of the ship changed quietly, her fingers became slender, her nails became sharp, and on her head, two black cat ears grew out at some point, shaking restlessly, and wisps of black flames swayed on her body.

Pei Jin and Xia Qi looked at each other, recalling the scene of the previous battle with Aokiji.

Even after half a year of training on Drum Island, their strength has greatly improved. If they face Aokiji again, I'm afraid the result will not be much better.

Even if it is this guy who discharges electricity in front of them, they may not be able to deal with it.

'Natural devil fruit user! '

Kosha clenched his fists and looked at the flashing lightning in the distance.

Although he could clearly feel that his strength had become much stronger during this period of time, he once again felt his weakness when he saw the battle in front of him.

He couldn't even keep up with the movements of both sides and could only see the flashes of lightning.

"Luo, Bakara, seize the opportunity and rush forward!"

Gray grabbed Luo and Bakara excitedly.

"This is thunder and lightning. If we can use thunder and lightning as energy, our Polaris will definitely be able to be transformed to be more powerful!

No, my previous design has to be torn down and re-designed. The power method I had conceived before is too backward. I want to replace it all with electricity!

If there is a constant supply of electricity, I don't know what speed our Polaris can reach. Not only that, the main gun on the bow can also be replaced. Driven by electricity, it will definitely greatly enhance the power.

Also, when building the Polaris before, Rhodes said that we were short of manpower and didn't let me deploy more cannons, but now we have people on the ship. Quite a lot, and he said before that he would recruit some more sailors when entering the Grand Line. In this case, I will have to deploy more artillery on the ship.

That's not right. If there is electricity, the artillery can be eliminated and replaced with new ones.

Still not right, the abilities of Pekin and Xia Qi should also be taken into consideration. Their abilities can also greatly enhance the power of the artillery..."

After saying a few words, Gray turned around and ran to his own laboratory. Although the result of the battle has not been seen, based on his understanding of Rhode, there will definitely be one more [Thunder Fruit] ability user on their ship.

As for whether to recruit this ability user or his devil fruit, it makes no difference to Gray.

As long as there is someone on the Polaris who can provide electricity, it will be fine.

Thunder Fruit!

A natural devil fruit with super mobility and destructive power!

Neru's thoughts floated in his mind.

···

"Why, why won't this guy fall down!"

Enelus sent out another terrifying lightning strike to hit Rod, and then quickly changed his position through elementalization, looking at Rod who dispersed the lightning again and rushed towards him with a gloomy face.

Although his body had been burned black by the electricity, the guy in front of him had excited colors in his eyes and a smile on his face.

With this level of damage, he should have fallen down!

"It seems to be almost done."

Rod suddenly stopped.

Without using the armed color domineering for defense, the impact of lightning and the heat emitted by the current have accumulated enough injuries in his body. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times after suffering this level of damage.

Enelus looked at Rod in doubt and did not continue to attack.

"Big Bear!"

Rod shouted.

The next moment, Big Bear's body appeared directly beside Rod.

Seeing this scene, Enelus' pupils shrank again.

There is still a master!

There was no sign of the other party moving at all. This tall man was also very strong!

"You are a little too reckless."

Big Bear spoke softly, reaching out and patting Rod's body.

With a "pop" sound, a huge crimson bubble was patted out of Rod's body.

"I feel great now!"

Rod clenched his fists, feeling his body getting stronger again, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

After the card bug on the magnetic drum island, Rod's physical fitness has reached a higher level.

And after the physical fitness reaches this level, any slight improvement seems precious.

'What is this? '

Enelu looked at Rod who recovered instantly, and a little retreat rose in his heart.

In the previous battle, because Rod retained some strength, Enelu did not suffer too much damage. On the contrary, Rod suffered a lot of damage because of his crazy output.

In Enelu's cognition, Rod was just a little bit strong, and it was only by a sudden attack that he hurt him at the beginning.

He originally planned to use his ability to completely defeat Rod, and then slowly deal with the rest.

However, there was such a person in the opponent's team who could instantly recover from the damage.

If this is the case, there is no need to continue fighting with them!

Thinking of this, Enelu put away his fighting posture and looked at Rod and his group from a distance.

"The warm-up game ends here."

"I'll be waiting for you at the Island of Gods, if you dare to come."

As soon as the voice fell, without waiting for Rhode's reply, Enel turned into lightning and disappeared in front of their eyes.

Swish——

A black shadow passed through, but failed to catch Enel who was leaving. Nia fell to the ground with a bit of anger on her face.

"Damn, I couldn't fight with the natural system again!"

This is the third time. Is it so difficult to fight with the natural system?

"There will be another chance!"

Rhode looked into the distance. If he remembered correctly, as long as he continued to move forward, he would soon reach the so-called Island of Gods.

Enel, who regarded himself as the [God] of Sky Island, did not feel the insurmountable gap in strength in the previous battle, and he would definitely stay there and wait.

"His observation Haki is very strong!"

Nelu looked in the direction where Enel left.

In just a blink of an eye, the opponent disappeared within the range of Nelu's observation Haki.

However, the old lady who was guarding the door just whispered something, and the other party appeared here directly.

In other words, the other party used the power of observation Haki to detect what happened here in a place beyond the perception range of Neru's observation Haki, and rushed over in an instant.

At least in terms of the coverage range of observation Haki, the other party is very strong!

Luo turned his head and glanced at Neru, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Do you want to fight?"

"Of course."

Neru also showed a smile on his face.

"Leave the enemy to us this time!"

···

Through the dilapidated [Gate of Heaven], the Polar Ship continued to sail forward.

"You don't allow me to take action?"

Rhodes looked at Neru and Law.

After repeating the operation of absorbing damage and ejecting damage many times, Rhodes' physique was slightly improved again. Just as he was about to reach the Island of Gods and directly defeat Enel, Neru and Law pulled him into the captain's room.

"This time, we want to try to fight without relying on your power!"

Neru looked at Rhodes seriously.

"If you, as the captain, need to rush to the front every time we encounter a strong enemy, wouldn't the significance of all of us be denied?"

"We are partners in sailing together, and we can't always hide under your protection!"

"Besides, everyone has experienced a considerable degree of hard training on Drum Island, and they all put in their best efforts to show you!"

Law added on the side.

The first half of the voyage of the Grand Line is already halfway through, and they are about to enter the New World.

According to the original plan, they will face Doflamingo head-on after entering the New World.

Law really wants to take Doflamingo's head with his own hands!

"Have you practiced any special skills again!?"

Rod looked at Luo with expectation.

"No matter what, you must use the names of the moves I gave you, please!"

"Boring."

Thinking of the moves that Rod had begged for before, the corners of Luo's eyes twitched slightly.

"Then, this time, the battle for Sky Island will be handed over to you!"

Looking at Luo and Nelu with serious eyes, Rod put away the joke and his face became serious.

"I need to remind you that there are some strong guys on Sky Island. In addition, the fighting style on Sky Island is different from that below. If you are careless, you will suffer a great loss."

"Don't worry."

Neru's face also became serious.

"Then, this battle is all up to you."

A hint of expectation also flashed in Rhodes' eyes.
