The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

He looked up at the dissipating thunderclouds, took a bite of grilled fish, and mumbled, "Pretty impressive, but the aim was a bit off."

"I refuse to believe it!!" Enel gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

Without further ado, he raised his palm and pointed it at Gern: "Divine Judgment!"

A beam of lightning shot out from his palm, moving with lightning speed, heading straight for Gern's chest.

Gern turned slightly to the side, and a beam of lightning grazed his shoulder, exploding into a dazzling burst of light in the clouds behind him.

"Lightning!" Enel seized the opportunity to unleash a powerful bolt of lightning, the light and heat expanding instantly in an attempt to seal off Guern's movement space.

However, Gern's figure moved like a phantom through the gaps in the lightning, precisely avoiding the attacks with every step.

"Thunder Beast!" Enel struck the taiko drum on his left shoulder, and a wolf-shaped high-voltage current roared as it pounced on Gern.

Gern neither dodged nor avoided the Thunder Beast, allowing it to pierce through his body without causing any damage.

"The nullification of the divine body (elementalization)?" Enel's pupils contracted, his heart filled with shock.

He never imagined that anyone could so easily handle his attacks.

"6000 million volts Thunder Dragon!" Enel pounded the drums on his shoulders in frustration, and dragon-shaped currents surged toward Gern.

But this time, Gern smiled slightly and actually went to meet the Thunder Dragon head-on, just as the lightning was about to strike.

His body transformed into scattered vibrating particles. The thunder dragon pierced his chest, but it was as if it had hit the air, having no effect whatsoever.

"Your lightning can't even stop me from eating fish," Gern shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Gern."

"What a splendid Gern!" Enel's breathing became rapid, his inner pride utterly shattered.

The roar was like a horn of divine punishment, and the entire sky above the floating island was swallowed up by thunderclouds in an instant.

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you the full form of God!!" With that, Enel's body began to twist and swell, his skin cracking open inch by inch, revealing blinding lightning.

"2 Million Volts - Thor!!!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The violent electric current coiled like thousands of thunder dragons.

Enel's body swelled wildly amidst the lightning, his muscles, bones, and even every drop of blood becoming completely energized!

His figure rose to tens of meters tall, and the golden staff split and reformed.

It transformed into two giant tridents wrapped in destructive electric arcs; wherever the spear tips passed, the air was ionized into acrid ozone!

At this moment, Enel is no longer a "human," but...

Takemikazuchi Arrives!

His eyes gushed forth pale lightning, and his voice resonated like a thousand thunderclaps.

"Now... kneel down and beg for mercy, and I might let you die a quicker death!"

On the other side, the Snake Princess frowned slightly and raised her hand to protect Ribo: "This guy has the potential to be a general!"

"Lieutenant General Guern, if this doesn't end soon!" Tesoro shouted, staring at the center of the battlefield, "the rest of the fish will be electrocuted!"

Upon hearing Tesoro's voice, Gern looked up at the lightning giant, a half-eaten grilled fish still dangling from his lips.

He slowly tore off the last piece of fish, chewed, swallowed, and casually tossed the bamboo skewer aside.

"Snap!" The slender bamboo skewer pierced deep into the cloud like a sharp blade, its end trembling slightly.

"Oh~" Gern clapped his hands, brushing away dust that wasn't even there.

Is this what you call... 'being serious'?

Chapter 230 God's Justice is also the Strongest Spear

"Enough with the nonsense!!!" Enel's roar shattered the heavens; in his Thor form, he was like the embodiment of divine punishment.

With a single punch, a torrent of violent lightning poured down like a burst dam!

The entire sky was swallowed by a blinding blue and white, and the air distorted and evaporated in the high temperature.

"Boom!" Wherever the lightning passed, the ground cracked, rocks instantly vaporized, and blinding plasma swept everything like a giant wave!

however.

“Just right… five seconds left.” Gern’s voice came clearly through the thunder.

The next second, the figure disappeared.

It's not the kind of movement that's extremely fast!

It's not that it's truly gone!

"Whoosh!!" With the activation of the shockwave, Gern's figure moved like a phantom through the lightning.

Each molecular-level flash was precisely timed to fit within the gaps in the lightning, as if it had already predicted all attack trajectories!

Enel's pupils suddenly contracted.

“Your lightning is very strong…” Gern’s voice swayed from left to right, like the whisper of death, “but if you can’t hit it, it’s meaningless.”

“Your Observation Haki talent is very strong…” Another lightning bolt flashed past his clothes, but it didn’t even leave a scorch mark. “But you haven’t paid attention to developing it.”

“You call yourself ‘God’…” Gern’s figure suddenly appeared directly in front of Enel, their gazes meeting in a fraction of a second, “yet you don’t even understand the most basic combat techniques.”

Every word was like a heavy hammer, slamming into Enel's heart!

"Enough!!!" Enel went completely berserk, his Thor form expanding wildly, and endless lightning erupted from within him.

The entire city of Bika trembled under his rage; the clouds were torn apart, and the atmosphere wailed!

"I am a god!!"

"Gods cannot fight like mortals!!!"

"Is that so?" Gern's figure suddenly appeared close by.

Enel was taken aback.

when?!

Before he could react, Gern was already in front of him, his right fist drawn back to his waist to gather power, the fist tip forming a vortex of vibration.

"Time is up."

"So now, it's my turn." With that, he unleashed a straight punch, his fist wreathed in Armament Haki.

"Black Shock - Piercing Star".

In that instant, Enel's Thor form shattered like glass!

"Cough!!!" His eyes bulged out, and blood gushed from his mouth. The shockwave blasted a visible vacuum fault in the air behind him.

His body then flew backward like a kite with a broken string, but was grabbed by the shoulder by Gern in mid-air.

"Do you know why I came to ask you to join me, Enel?"

Enel's vision was blurred and his ears were ringing, but he could still hear Gern's voice.

"Why……"

A slight smile appeared on Gern's lips.

"Because I need God."

"I will give you... God's justice."

“God’s… justice…” Enel’s consciousness gradually faded, and his body slipped from Gern’s hand, falling to the ground like a meteor.

But Enel did not fall into a coma.

He lay there amidst the ruins, his gaze fixed on the figure in the sky.

The oppressive aura of Conqueror's Haki...

The destructive power of Armament Haki...

And then there's that... Observation Haki that sees through everything...

Gern had already shown him what true power was.

Even at the moment of the Conqueror's Haki attack, he awakened it...

But the arrogance of "God" prevented him from bowing his head.

That's why he took on the challenge again.

And now...

Enel slowly raised his trembling hand, looking at Gern in the sky.

"Heh...hehehe..." Enel laughed; he was convinced.

"I see……"

What he needs... is precisely this power.

because

God must be omnipotent.

........

"It seems you've figured out what you want."

Gern's figure fell silently, his eyes looking down at Enel lying on the ground.

The young "god" slowly raised his head, a near-maniacal smile spreading across his lips.

Tell me... what is God's justice?

"All mortals should submit to God; those who disobey are sinners, and destruction is the only salvation."

"Anyone who questions God is a blasphemer and deserves to be struck by lightning."

"Those who cannot withstand the trials of God should not exist in the first place."

Gurn wouldn't say anything else, much less use those hypocritical "theories of justice" to distort Enel's will.

Because it is precisely this extreme, pure divine madness that he needs!

Enel's "divine justice" will be the most extreme variant of "justice" under his command.

It will completely glorify violence as a sacred judgment.

Therefore, Enel's joining will not strengthen the Navy; on the contrary, it will tear apart its hypocritical "justice" facade and expose the true nature of "might makes right."

Or rather, compared to Akainu's "absolute justice"...

Enel's "Divine Justice" differs only in

Akainu considers himself "a tool of the world," while Enel bluntly states, "The world is my tool."

It is precisely this extreme divine arrogance, which disdains even the pretense of "hypocrisy," that is what Gern's current subordinates need most!

Because every team needs someone who refuses to be threatened by any force, considers themselves superior, and looks down on everyone.

Treat any rules and threats as a blasphemous spear!

And this most powerful spear is... God Enel!!!

"Hahahaha!!!" Enel's maniacal laughter echoed through the sky, and lightning surged wildly around him.

He had assumed that Gern would, like those mortals, bind him with hypocritical "reasons" and demand that he restrain his so-called "divine nature."

But to my surprise, this man was even more charming and charismatic than I had imagined!

"Really?!" Enel's eyes burned with a frenzied intensity. "After all, if I really become that powerful..."

I will destroy you too!

Then, establish a dictatorship over Qinghai! Make the entire world submit to the thunder of 'God'!!!

"Heh." Gern's lips curled slightly, his gaze calm.

“If ‘justice’ only requires the backing of power…” His voice was deep, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Then, what's wrong with you, who are stronger than me, proclaiming yourself a god...?"

“After all, it’s on that vast sea…” He turned his head slightly, the morning light falling on his profile, revealing a cold, stern curve.
