Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Birka is a very small island and can't hide much. Raleigh scanned the entire island with his Observation Haki while he was on the ship.

He was very curious because Enel wasn't on the island.

Undeterred, Raleigh used his Observation Haki to scan the island of Birka repeatedly.

After scanning the island of Bica three times, Raleigh finally looked defeated!

That doesn't make sense! Enel should be in Birka right now.

Moreover, if he were truly going to leave Bika, he would definitely destroy Bika before heading to the Kingdom of Gods.

Unable to find anyone, Raleigh could only sit under a large tree and rest for a while.

A moment later, a gray-haired resident walked over and glanced strangely at Raleigh sitting on the ground:

Young man, you look like you're from out of town.

"I advise you to leave here before Enel returns. That kid doesn't like outsiders coming to Piccolo."

Raleigh, who was originally drowsy, suddenly perked up after hearing the old man's words. It turned out that Enel had not left Birka permanently, but had only gone out temporarily.

Judging from the old man's words, Enel will likely return soon.

"Old man, this is indeed my first time on Pika Island. I'd like to ask, who is this Enel you're talking about?"

Why does Enel dislike outsiders coming to Bika?

Fortunately, the old man had nothing else to do.

Hearing the interest Raleigh had in Enel, I simply sat down next to him, ready to talk to him about Enel.

Enel, that kid, was a stray from somewhere and ended up in Birka when he was little. I remember he was only five years old then, as skinny as a three-year-old.

Grandma Erza took pity on Enel and adopted him. Although Enel was mischievous and naughty as a child, he was generally well-behaved.

One thing that's really strange is that Enel seems to have an innate ability to sense extremely distant places; the children who were with him on the island all mentioned this.

What truly changed Enel was an incident from a couple of years ago. A group of adventurers, claiming to be a pirate crew, arrived on Birka Island.

"Enel went hunting in the Sky Sea with Birka's hunters. Granny Erza was killed by the pirates for resisting them."

Enel's voyage granted him a special ability: the ability to control lightning in the sky.

"When Enel learned that Erza had been killed by a group of pirates, he lost control and, ignoring everyone's attempts to stop him, steered a small boat into the White Sea."

Seven days and seven nights later, Enel returned covered in blood, carrying the pirate captain's head.

The old man's expression turned to one of nostalgia, suggesting that he had feelings for this old woman, Erza.

After pausing, the old man continued;

"From then on, no one in Birka could surpass Enel in strength, and Enel's personality became more and more withdrawn, and he hated outsiders more and more."

However, Enel still remembered what Granny Erza had taught him: generally, for outsiders who came to Birka for the first time, Enel would only give them a small punishment and expel them.

"Enel will only really make his move against those who are detrimental to Piccolo or those outsiders who refuse to leave."

At this point, the old man lifted his buttocks, preparing to go home.

Before leaving, he turned back and gave Rowley some more instructions;

"Young man, I don't think you're a bad person. What I'm telling you is the truth. Before Enel returns, hurry up and leave Pikachu Island. That way you'll suffer less physically."

With a broad smile and his eyes narrowed, Raleigh spoke to the old man;

It's too late, sir. I sensed an aura locking onto me; if I'm not mistaken, it's Enel, the one you mentioned.

"Alright, sir, you can go home now. Leave the rest to Enel and me."

Looking at the faintly smiling face, the old man mentally evaluated Raleigh several times.

He didn't think Raleigh was a bad person. Having lived this long, he could easily distinguish between good and bad people. "I haven't seen Enel in a long time either. Since Enel is coming, I'll meet him here."

After hearing the old man's words, Luo Li's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a slight upturn of his lips;

"Okay, then let's wait here for Enel to come."

Meanwhile, in the sea surrounding Bika Island, a small boat was struggling to make its way towards the island.

"Damn it, when did such an unfathomably powerful expert like Bika arrive?"

A burly young man on the boat said angrily,

He is Enel, the user of the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Today he just explored the ancient ruins and found a weapon that is very useful to his strength.

Before even returning to Bica, Enel sensed a powerful figure loitering in his hometown. He initially wanted to avoid him, but soon he discovered that the unfathomable figure was accompanied by Jesse Bradford.

Bradford was almost the best person to Enel after Erza.

Enel couldn't suppress his fear and immediately headed towards Pika Island.

I don't want to experience the feeling of losing a loved one again.

Almost the instant the small boat reached the shore, Enel's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, leaving a graceful trail across the sky.

This guy's talent for Observation Haki is truly astonishing!

Raleigh muttered to himself.

His current strength, in terms of naval strength, is between that of a vice admiral and an elite vice admiral.

Furthermore, his Observation Haki amplifies the range of his Logia-type Hurricane Fruit. In a sense, Raleigh's Observation Haki already makes him one of the people with the widest range of perception in the world.

However, Enel's talent for Observation Haki is in no way inferior to Raleigh's cheat code.

Enel spotted Raleigh when he was only a few kilometers away from him.

In a sense, he was already an extraordinary genius with astonishing talent.

Enel is currently just a teenager.

Lightning flashed through the air with a deafening roar, carrying irresistible power, and appeared instantly between Raleigh and Bradford.

He looked at Raleigh, who was sitting cross-legged under the tree, with a wary expression.

He asked Raleigh in a questioning tone:

Out-of-towner, what brings you to Pika Island?

Raleigh looked up at Enel, who was on guard, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing Raleigh's smile made Enel's muscles tense up again, and currents of electricity surged through his body.

"Calm down, Enel. I don't really want to fight you right now."

"I had a very pleasant chat with the old man behind you just now. I know you already possess very powerful abilities, but I also believe that the small island of Bika limits your potential."

"I came here to ask you if you will join our organization if you are leaving Bika."

Enel said with a disdainful look;

"What's so great about your organization? I think I'm already doing very well on Skypiea."

"I eat and drink, nobody cares about me, and I have nothing to worry about."

Raleigh gave a disdainful smile:

It seems Enel has spent too much time in Skypiea and this small place like Birka; his thinking is almost set in stone.

"As the saying goes, 'You can't talk to a summer insect about disease,' and 'A frog in a well doesn't know the vastness of the sky.' Enel has lived in the White Sea and Birka since he was a child; his world is only that big."

If anyone else possessed a Logia-type Devil Fruit as powerful as Enel's, they would definitely be heading straight for the Grand Line.

He strives for the title of the world's most powerful man, the highest status, and the most supreme power.

This is the most normal way of thinking in the One Piece world.

In fact, it can be seen from what Enel did later that he was also full of ambition.

However, he was misled by the Sky Island and mistakenly believed that it was the center of the world.

After driving away Gan Fall, he became the so-called god of Skypiea, but Luffy defeated him within six or seven years.

In fact, Luffy's fight with Enel was completely illogical.

Even if Enel couldn't transform into an elemental being at the time, he should theoretically have become a powerful figure simply because of his billions of volts of electricity.

As a result, he was defeated by a kid who hadn't been at sea for long. After losing face, Enel resolutely rushed to the moon after discovering the infinite land.

"That's what you might think right now, but I can only tell you that Sky Island is simply too small."

Skypiea is not the center of this world, nor is it an important place in this world. The center of this world is Mariammania, the holy land of the Grand Line.

The place with the largest number of strong individuals in the world is the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line.

You might think I'm very strong right now, but let me tell you, there are quite a few people in the new world with my strength; I know at least twenty.

Enel, a man's dream should be to conquer the world, not to lord it over in a small place.

Raleigh said to Enel in a serious tone that he knew in his heart that Enel would eventually leave Birka.

Because Birka was far too small for Enel.

What Raleigh is saying to Enel is actually planting a seed in Enel's heart.

That means if Enel leaves Pika Island, he doesn't only have the option of going to the island of gods, Apayado.

Raleigh offered a different path, one that would open up a wider world than Enel's journey to Apayado.

Seeing Enel's expression, Raleigh knew that Enel was already thinking about this, and yawned, saying:

"That's all for today. I'm going back to the warship to rest. If you've thought things through, come find me on the warship. I'll be staying here for two days."

After saying that, Raleigh stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and prepared to walk toward the warship.

"Wait, I did not ask you to leave."

Although Enel was tempted by Raleigh's words, his priority now was to uphold the white rules he had set on Pikachu Island.

Pika Island has a rule: outsiders are not allowed to set foot on Pika Island's grounds without my permission.

You've broken my rules; wouldn't it be impolite to just leave like this?

After hearing Enel's words, Raleigh, who had been facing away from Enel, suddenly burst into loud laughter:

"Interesting, very interesting. Enel, it seems that a small place like Bika is seriously limiting your horizons."

Now I'll tell you another truth: the rules set by the weak have no binding force on the strong.

Just like the rules you set, I don't need your permission to roam freely on Bika's land, because I want to be stronger than you.

"The reason I haven't attacked you is because I'm very interested in you and hope you'll join my ranks."

Hearing Raleigh's words, Enel, who was already quite unruly, became somewhat angry.

Who is he? Enel!!!

This name is famous throughout the White Sea near Bika; everyone knows Enel's strength.

In this area, no one dared to mess with Enel.

Now suddenly a stranger has appeared, claiming he wants to recruit Enel into his demonic realm.

What Enel found even more unbearable was that he was actually considered weak by Raleigh.

"Damn it, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

"Inazuma!"

Enel's arm suddenly transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, accompanied by a terrifying thunderclap, and roared as it struck Raleigh's head.

"That's a bit slow."

Raleigh simply tilted his head slightly and dodged Enel's lightning attack.

Enel's pupils widened suddenly, staring at Raleigh in disbelief:

"What kind of technique? How did you manage to dodge my attack!"

Enel could hardly believe what he was seeing.

From a young age, Enel discovered that he could sense other people's movements.

As he grew older, his special ability became stronger and stronger, to the point that he could hear what people were saying from several streets away.

This is why Enel was able to join Birka's hunting party at such a young age.

His innate talent for Observation Haki enabled him to develop the special technique "Mind Web".

Especially after eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he was able to receive electromagnetic waves in the air, greatly enhancing the power and range of his "Mind Network".

Theoretically, his ability is impossible.

The level of Observation Haki of the person in front of you must exceed that of others.

he.

"You—how did you also learn Mind Control?" Enel could hardly believe his eyes. He thought only he possessed Mind Control. (Enel hadn't yet met the Four Priests, nor had he begun teaching Mind Control.)

Raleigh shrugged and said:

So I said you're just a frog in a well, narrow-minded world. The ability you call "Mind Map" is actually called Observation Haki in the Grand Line.

"While Observation Haki is relatively difficult to master, there must be at least several thousand people in the New World who possess it."

"Of course, the fact that you cultivated Observation Haki out of thin air without any guidance shows that you have an exceptional talent for it."

However, this does not affect the outcome of this battle, because my domineering aura is stronger than yours.

Enel's veins were throbbing; he had had enough of the humiliation.

"Damn it, let me show you my most powerful move, 80 million volts Thor!"

Countless tiny bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from Enel's body, and the scene instantly resembled the chirping of tens of thousands of sparrows.
