One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Left with no other option, Enel had to unleash Thor's Palm in an attempt to tear the black threads apart. Unfortunately, the number of black threads far exceeded his expectations, and despite his best efforts, he was still unable to stop one of the threads from quickly wrapping around his foot.

Enel's expression changed drastically, a panic he had never felt before welling up inside him. He hurriedly stretched out his hands, grabbing the black thread tightly, trying to tear it off with his immense strength. At the same time, a super-powerful electric current of up to one hundred million volts generated a terrifyingly high temperature. Even the black thread, covered in hard Armament Haki, began to melt and soften under such intense heat.

Finally, with a crisp "snap," Enel successfully severed the black threads. But before he could even catch his breath, more black threads surged forward like a tidal wave, quickly wrapping around his entire body.

At this moment, Enel was completely thrown into utter panic. He frantically flailed his arms, haphazardly pulling at the black threads that kept wrapping around him, trying to break free. But it was all too late; Fiona's longsword had already transformed into a cold flash, mercilessly slashing towards Enel.

With two muffled "crack" sounds, Enel's legs snapped, blood splattering everywhere. Immediately afterward, the long sword left several deep, gruesome wounds on his body, excruciating pain causing Enel to let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Severely injured, Enel could no longer maintain his Thor form and plummeted straight to the ground. Fearing he would die from the fall, Fiona pulled him back with a string just before he hit the ground. At the same time, to prevent him from escaping in his elemental form, she took out a pair of Seastone handcuffs from her storage space and handcuffed him. The whole process was incredibly smooth.

"Clap clap clap." Applause rang out, and Lin Yi and Robin looked on with admiration. Enel was definitely not weak. Apart from not knowing Haki, Enel was a strong person with no weaknesses. And Fiona was able to defeat him without getting hurt, which showed that Fiona had entered the ranks of top-level strong people.

"Well done, Fiona," Lin Yi praised.

“He’s too weak,” Fiona said calmly.

"You...you...you've gone too far!" Enel almost burst into tears after hearing Fiona's words. It was such an insult.

Lin Yi approached Enel and said in a teasing tone, "Respected God, could you tell me where you obtained the Devil Fruit you ate?"

"What Devil Fruit?" Enel asked dejectedly, his answer weak and listless.

"It's the fruit that gave you the power of lightning after you ate it."

"I don't know, I don't understand, I didn't eat it," Enel said, utterly dejected.

"..." Everyone.

Chapter 54 In Search of Bika's Secret

"I don't know, I don't understand, I didn't eat it."

Upon hearing Enel's familiar words, Lin Yi's forehead veins throbbed. Was this bastard copying him?

Enraged, he immediately retaliated, slapping Enel across the head, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

"Kid, don't go too far. I've been defeated. You can kill me or torture me as you please, but why humiliate me like this?" Enel roared.

Seeing that the guy was still acting like this, Lin Yi said disdainfully, "You're just a prisoner now, you have no right to make demands of me. If you don't behave, I'll strip you naked and hang you up to beat you."

"you..."

"Will you tell me or not?" Lin Yi asked with a hostile look.

"I really don't know what kind of Devil Fruit you're talking about," Enel said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"When did you acquire the power of lightning?" Seeing that Enel didn't seem to be faking it, Lin Yi changed the subject and asked.

Enel frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a fragment of his deepest memory had been awakened. He slowly began to speak: "About six years ago, one day I suddenly discovered that I possessed this incredibly miraculous divine power. But actually, before that, a terrifying thing happened. Once, I was accidentally attacked by a gigantic serpent with an astonishingly large body. It opened its blood-red maw and swallowed me whole! At that time, my injuries were extremely severe; you could say I was on the verge of death."

At this point, Enel shuddered slightly, still shaken by the memory, and continued, "In that dark, sticky snake's belly, in my hazy state, I saw a strange fruit. The fruit looked odd, and its taste was even more unpalatable. But at that time, I was so hungry that my survival instinct drove me to swallow it with great difficulty. Looking back now, perhaps that extremely unpalatable fruit was the Devil Fruit you mentioned."

Just then, Gan Fall and his men, who had been watching from afar and hesitant to approach, saw that Enel had been successfully subdued and finally mustered their courage to gradually move closer. When they heard Enel recount his experience of being swallowed by a giant snake, Gan Fall immediately shook his head in denial and loudly retorted, "That's absolutely impossible! The legendary evil god Jesse died more than three hundred years ago, and there is no such enormous snake creature on our sky island today."

(I changed a bit of the setting here. The giant snake on Jaya Island was called the God of Garshi, who was later killed by Noland. This is something I added. Just think of it as two giant snakes.)

Lin Yi knew something about the god Gasi that Gan Fall mentioned, but Robin and Fiona did not. So Robin asked, "Mr. Gan Fall, who is this god Gasi you are talking about?"

Faced with Robin's curious and inquisitive questions, Gan Fall dared not be the slightest bit negligent. Although Robin hadn't personally demonstrated her strength, merely witnessing the terrifying power displayed by the woman beside her named Fiona had already filled Gan Fall with trepidation. Logically, since the two could travel together and were so close, Robin, as her companion, must be no ordinary person. Thinking this, Gan Fall quickly composed himself, cleared his throat, and began to explain in detail to Robin and the other two beside her:

"The legendary evil god Jesse was a gigantic serpent of immense size. Because it always appeared alongside the sun, our ancestors on the island regarded it as a 'sun god'! Initially, the inhabitants of our sky island considered this giant serpent a sacred being who protected our race, and thus often offered it various lavish sacrifices. However, as time passed, Jesse gradually became dissatisfied with ordinary livestock meat and began to prey on humans, wantonly devouring the lives of us sky islanders! At that time, Jesse..." Jesse, with his long-accumulated immense power, had made the people of our Sky Island hesitant to resist him. But who could have foreseen that Jesse's appetite would only grow ever larger, becoming utterly insatiable! Finally, the inhabitants of our Sky Island could no longer tolerate it and resolved to rise up in rebellion. Thus, everyone united, organizing all available forces, and after a fierce and arduous battle, finally, at an incredibly heavy cost, successfully defeated and utterly killed this vicious and evil god, Jesse!

"Hey! Lin Yi, don't you think this story sounds familiar?" Fiona asked with a puzzled look.

"Hehe, you forgot? There was a giant python on Jaya Island back then, which was later killed by a man named Noland because it ate people," Lin Yi laughed.

“I see, no wonder it felt so familiar,” Fiona said with an "I see" expression.

Lin Yi turned to Enel and asked, "Where is that giant snake you mentioned?"

"Heh, why should I tell you?" Enel suddenly straightened up, his eyes hardening.

Just now, through his unique telepathic abilities, he clearly sensed that his subordinates had located the whereabouts of this despicable Qinghai man's companions. Hmph! He didn't believe these guys from Qinghai were all so capable! As long as he could capture all of this man's companions, why should he be afraid of him not letting him go? Thinking this, Enel's lips curled into a smug smile.

Lin Yi, standing beside him, stared at Enel with a look of astonishment, completely baffled as to what had gotten into this guy to suddenly become so tough.

However, Lin Yi had no time to delve into the reasons behind it. After all, in his view, if a child misbehaved, a good beating would suffice. So, the next moment, a series of crisp slaps rang out.

Lin Yi swung his hand, mercilessly slapping Enel's face while cursing, "I'll teach you to talk back to me! I'll teach you to keep laughing! I'll teach you to act tough and show off here..." With each word, he increased the force of his blows, making Enel see stars and feel dizzy.

At first, Enel was completely stunned by the sudden beating, even temporarily losing the will to resist. However, it wasn't long before, as he gradually regained his senses, an uncontrollable rage surged into his heart. His eyes widened, and he roared furiously at Lin Yi, "Damn Qinghai man, I swear I will tear you to pieces! Not only you, but your companions too, I will never let them go easily! Ahhh, I will personally kill you today to vent my hatred!" With this hysterical roar, the lightning power within Enel began to surge uncontrollably, but the next moment he collapsed to the ground. The Seastone handcuffs were indeed very effective.

After slapping Enel's once arrogant face until it was swollen, Lin Yi slowly straightened up. His icy gaze, as cold as a star, shot straight at Enel, and he said coldly, "You think someone like you dares to be so insolent in front of me? Hmph! Let me tell you, taking your life would be easier for me than crushing an ant. What, do you really naively believe that your lowly underlings can capture my companions? You're truly pathetic."

Upon hearing this, Enel, whose face was swollen, was shocked. He stared wide-eyed at the man from Qinghai in disbelief, wondering to himself, "How did this wretched man from Qinghai know all this?"

As if reading Enel's mind, Lin Yi's lips curled into a slight, contemptuous smile. He then scoffed, "Judging from your surprised expression, you must be eager to know how I know these secrets, huh? Haha, let me tell you the truth. Don't think you're the only one with that so-called sensory ability. In our lower realm, there are countless people with this ability, and you're just an insignificant one among them. In the end, you're nothing but an arrogant, conceited clown."

Lin Yi's merciless words struck Enel like a heavy hammer, nearly shattering his Dao heart. Enel's face contorted in a grotesque grimace, and he roared furiously at Lin Yi, "Damn Qinghai man, stop spouting nonsense! Don't think you can deceive me with your sweet words! I won't believe a single word you say..."

However, just as he was about to continue speaking, a strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart. With his keen senses, his gaze seemed to transcend time and space, landing directly on the breathtaking scene in the distance.

His men, dispatched to carry out the capture mission, were utterly powerless the moment they encountered the mysterious figures from Qinghai! They couldn't even withstand a single blow, collapsing like fragile straws. What shocked and disbelieved him most was that even his four highly regarded and exceptionally powerful priests, facing this ferocious bear-like creature, only managed a few rounds before meeting their demise.

Enel's eyes widened, his throat bobbing involuntarily as he swallowed hard. The shock he felt was indescribable. He had initially thought the operation would easily capture their target, but reality had delivered a harsh slap in the face. The overwhelming power displayed by these Qinghai people far exceeded his previous estimates and expectations. That overwhelming advantage made him realize for the first time that he might have encountered an unprecedentedly formidable enemy.

"Haha, judging from your expression, it seems my companions have won. Now you can answer my question, right?" Lin Yi laughed.

“I don’t know where that giant snake went. I haven’t seen it since it spat me out of its stomach,” Enel said, as if resigned to his fate.

Lin Yi frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Enel's answer. However, he didn't delve into the matter further. Instead, he said, "Take us to your hometown."

Upon hearing the word "hometown," Enel's eyes clearly flashed with hatred, but the thought of his revenge brought a look of glee to his face. This left everyone present completely stunned.

"Are you trying to get me killed? Answer me now!" Lin Yi said, kicking him in annoyance.

"You..." Enel was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but considering his current predicament, he swallowed his words. There was nothing he could do; he was simply in a stronger position than anyone else.

“Bicca has already been destroyed by me. Heh, all you can see now are ruins,” Enel said with a sinister look.

Lin Yi showed no surprise at this. In fact, he had already anticipated this situation. As for why he wanted to go to the mysterious Bika, it was because he seemed to remember: the legendary Bika people were the true descendants of the moon! Their most distinctive feature was that they had real wings on their backs, unlike the people on Angel Island who only used them for decoration.

Enel suffered bullying and humiliation from the Bica people during his childhood, which ultimately stemmed from his birth lack of the pair of wings that symbolized his identity.

Robin and Fiona were unaware of Bika's situation, so neither of them showed any particular reaction.

However, Ganful, standing to the side, was struck as if by lightning, his heart instantly filled with turmoil. He could never have imagined that Enel could be so ruthless, so cruel as to completely destroy his homeland. Although the inhabitants of Birka Island were known for their arrogance, the sudden disappearance of their people inevitably evoked pity and a sense of shared sorrow.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just take us there," Lin Yi said coldly.

Enel nodded, indicating his submission.

After greeting Gan Fall, Lin Yi had Fiona tie Enel up and lead the way.

"Captain, you seem to know a lot?" Robin asked Lin Yi curiously on the way to Bica Island.

"Hehe, there's nothing strange about it. I've been to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, where I learned many secrets that no one else knows," Lin Yi said, offering himself a plausible excuse.

"Really?" Robin said, somewhat skeptical.

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Lin Yi said with a very sincere expression.

"Then we'll believe you for now, but Captain, you'd better tell us more about those little-known secrets when we get back," Robin said with a smile.

"Hehe, there will be an opportunity," Lin Yi chuckled.

This woman is too shrewd; she's not easy to fool.

Chapter 55 The Death of Enel

Da Pan and his friends were enjoying themselves at a place called Cute Street on Angel Island. Just as they were having a great time, a group of burly men wielding various weapons appeared like ghosts, instantly surrounding them. The leader, a hulking figure with a face full of scars, shouted menacingly at Da Pan and the others, "If you know what's good for you, surrender now!"

This sudden turn of events enraged Da Pan. How could he tolerate such humiliation? Without a word, he flashed forward like a tiger, charging straight into the crowd. The dragon-patterned staff in his hand gleamed coldly, each swing bringing a storm of blood and gore. Seeing this, Felina and the others joined the battle without hesitation.

With their current strength, this rabble was clearly no match for them. Before long, the ground was littered with the dead and wounded of their enemies, and the air was thick with the stench of blood. The once bustling Ke'ai Street was now deathly silent, with only the heavy breathing of Da Pan and his men echoing through the air.

However, to their utter surprise, what happened next left them extremely frustrated.

It should be noted that the residents of Angel Island already harbored prejudice and hostility towards people from Qinghai. At this moment, Da Pan and his gang were so brazenly committing massacres on Ke'ai Street, which undoubtedly ignited the burning anger in the hearts of the Angel Island residents.

The people of Angel Island were completely unaware that these attackers were actually sent by Enel. In their eyes, they only saw these blue-haired people slaughtering their fellow citizens. Enrage quickly spread, and more and more Angel Island residents rushed to the scene, armed and menacing, surrounding Da Pan and his group. Even though Da Pan and his companions had previously displayed considerable strength, it couldn't quell their fury. A much larger conflict was on the verge of erupting.

Left with no other choice, Felina had to order her companions to retreat temporarily, since they couldn't possibly kill them all.

Although Da Pan felt somewhat aggrieved, he still followed Filina and flew away from there.

After leaving Angel Island, Felina and her companions originally planned to search for Lin Yi and his two companions. However, because they were searching haphazardly, they unexpectedly stumbled upon a mysterious and peculiar village.

Just as they were about to approach the village to investigate, suddenly, a group of people dressed in strange clothes surged out of the village like a tide. Their attire was so bizarre that it made them wary. They all looked hostile, glaring fiercely at Felina and her companions as if they were mortal enemies.

At this moment, a fierce-looking man with his face covered in black paint shouted at Felina and her group, "Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" His sharp gaze was like two bolts of lightning, shooting straight at the group.

Before Felina and the others could explain, a furious shout rang out from the crowd. The speaker was a burly man with his face also painted black. He roared through gritted teeth, "Brother Manhu, in my opinion, these people are definitely those despicable Sky Islanders! Let's not waste time talking to them, let's just kill them all!" With that, he brandished his gleaming broadsword, preparing to pounce on Felina and the others.

However, just then, another person in the group stood up and loudly retorted, "Seven Feathers, are you stupid? Didn't you see that giant bear guy among them, and that strange person who looks like a fish? How could they be Sky Island people?" His words immediately silenced the scene. The previously aggressive crowd began to whisper among themselves, seemingly developing some doubts about the identities of these strangers.

"Ah! I didn't notice." Qi Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly after being told off.

"So you're stupid." The man laughed smugly.

"You bastard Tata, if you call me stupid again, I'll tell everyone about you peeping at Ah Si taking a bath!" Qi Yu said angrily.

"Damn it, Qi Yu, you bastard, you're such an idiot, why are you shouting so loudly?" It was too late when Tata tried to cover Qi Yu's mouth. His companions looked at Tata with disdain. This guy looked so handsome, but they never expected him to do something like this. What a beast, he didn't even take us with him.

Looking at his disorganized subordinates, Man Hu's face turned ashen. Couldn't these bastards just give him a break?

"Enough, Qiyu, Tadada, if you keep causing trouble, you can go back to feeding the pigs!" Manhu roared angrily.

Seeing their leader get angry, Qi Yu and Ta Ta immediately quieted down obediently.

"Ahem, please excuse my poor performance." Originally, Man Hu wanted to give Felina and the others a hard time, but now it was clear that wouldn't work.

Felina and her companions were initially watching these strangely dressed people with great interest, but upon hearing Man Hu's words, Felina smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's alright, we apologize for disturbing you. Could you tell us about your situation here?"

Manhu looked at Fei Li and the others, but instead of introducing himself, he asked, "Are you from Qinghai?"

“No, but we did come from Qinghai,” Felina said truthfully.

“Then please come with us. Perhaps our chieftain needs to ask you some questions,” Manhu said.

Felina and Da Pan exchanged glances, did not refuse Man Hu's suggestion, and followed Man Hu into their village.

Guided by Enel, Lin Yi and his companions soon arrived at a small floating island, which was Enel's hometown, Birka.

The scene on Pika Island made Lin Yi and his companions frown. Fiona and Robin even kicked Enel in anger, causing the already severely injured Enel to cough up blood.

Lin Yi did not stop Fiona and Robin. If Enel hadn't been somewhat useful, he would have killed him long ago to extract the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
