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

"Luffy!!"

Zoro and Sanji, having recovered their senses, wanted to continue their attack, but Enel didn't even glance at them, simply swinging his golden cudgel casually.

"Sorry, God, but we refuse your worship!"

In an instant, countless fine lightning bolts struck the two of them with precision, completely sealing off all their space to dodge!

Zoro managed to parry with his sword, but the immense force of the lightning caused his hand to split open, forcing him to kneel on one knee.

Sanji was hit directly by several lightning bolts and collapsed, his body charred black.

A complete and utter crushing defeat!

There were no fancy moves, no intense exchanges.

Yes, it's just the simplest, most basic elementalization, Armament Haki, and electrical discharge.

But faced with such absolute speed, foresight, and power, Luffy and his crew's all-out attack seemed so pale and powerless.

Looking at Enel, who hadn't even moved an inch from start to finish, and who had utterly defeated them with just a single finger and the simplest lightning,...

An indescribable chill and despair enveloped the hearts of all the Straw Hat crew members and Law.

Faced with this man, they seemed to be truly... fighting against an invincible force...

god!

Chapter 433 Your so-called desperate efforts seem like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

"Gum-Gum..." Luffy seized the opportunity while Enel was speaking and suddenly kicked out...

"Seal!!" His left leg instantly extended, aiming straight for Enel's chest!

Unfortunately, the attack missed again, only creating a ripple on Enel's chest.

Looking at the hole in his chest, Enel showed no anger whatsoever; instead, it was as if he had finally confirmed something unbelievable.

He looked down at the healing lightning on his chest, then at Luffy's defiant expression, and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is..."

"The reason why my mental network doesn't work well for you and my predictions are always off..."

A flicker of understanding and absurdity flashed in his eyes.

"It's because you... are basically a single-celled organism with no inner thoughts!!"

There are no complicated calculations, no hidden intentions; all actions stem from the most direct instincts and emotions!

This extreme purity of "blank space" makes it difficult for the mind network, which relies on reading emotions and thought patterns, to make 100% accurate predictions!

Just then, Luffy suddenly turned around and, facing his struggling crewmates who were trying to come to his aid, roared with all his might...

"Everyone!! Split up and run!! Run as fast as you can! We'll regroup later!!"

Luffy stared at Enel, his face showing no hesitation or humiliation, only the purest determination.

"This guy... facing this guy..."

I can't beat him right now!!!

"So, run!!"

Upon hearing the words "Run!", the entire Straw Hat crew was visibly shaken.

They knew their captain too well; he was a hothead who would only shout "I'm going to defeat you!" and charge forward even when faced with a desperate situation!

But at this moment, Luffy actually admitted that he "couldn't win" and ordered them to run away.

This speaks volumes about how terrifying our opponent is, more than anything else!

(Note: Oda has confirmed in an SBS that Luffy does not have inner monologues; all his thoughts will be expressed directly or through his actions.)

"Scatter and flee?"

Enel seemed unconcerned about the power difference Luffy had pointed out, and didn't even bother with the hole in his chest that Luffy had kicked through. He simply twirled the golden staff in his hand once.

He switched hands and swung the stick hard at Luffy's leg!

"Bang!" Luffy cried out in pain, lost his balance, and was thrown to the ground!

Immediately afterwards, Enel stomped hard on Luffy's right hand with his left foot, and the head of the golden staff slammed down with a loud "bang," pinning Luffy's left hand firmly to the ground!

At the same time, he bent down, his right hand covered in Armament Haki like an iron clamp, and gripped Luffy's head tightly.

He couldn't break free; his mouth was clamped shut by immense force, preventing him from making a complete sound.

After doing all this, Enel raised his head, looked at the fleeing Straw Hat crew members, and grinned maliciously.

"Since I followed Gern to Qinghai, I have killed so many pirates over the years that I have lost count of them myself."

Enel spoke with an expression of indifference that seemed to look down upon the deaths of all living beings.

"But among these countless pirates, there are always some oddballs."

They all set sail for treasure and fame, yet... they are incredibly concerned about the so-called...

He paused deliberately, then clearly uttered those two words.

"partner."

Upon hearing the word "comrade," Luffy, who was being held down tightly, seemed to realize what Enel was planning.

It struggled frantically, making "muffled" sounds through its clamped mouth, its eyes filled with rage!

Enel relished Luffy's despairing expression, then sneered and issued his final ultimatum.

"If you dare to run another step..."

He condensed a highly compressed lightning blade in his free left hand and slowly pressed it against Luffy's neck.

"I'll cut off his head right now."

In an instant, absolute silence enveloped the battlefield.

There were no pacifists, no Sentomaru, no Kizaru, and Kuma didn't even make a move.

The escape route was thus laid bare before the entire Straw Hat crew.

However, at this very moment, it has been completely blocked.

Because Enel used the most direct and cruel method to turn the double-edged sword of "comrades" into the most effective shackles, firmly binding the entire Straw Hat crew.

"asshole!!!!!"

Sanji was the first to turn around, his anger and worry overpowering his fear of the formidable enemy.

Dragging his injured body, he rushed towards Enel at top speed, and with a ground-shaking kick, he slammed it into Enel's head!

"Get your filthy hands off our captain!!"

"Devil's Wind Kick!!!"

"madness."

Enel didn't even turn around; his wrist, gripping the golden cudgel, trembled slightly.

The staff was instantly lengthened and bent by the smelting process, covered with refined Armament Haki.

It transformed into a sturdy, curved shackle, and with a "clang," it locked Luffy's neck tightly on the ground, making it difficult for him to even struggle.

At the same time, with a precise sidestep, he grabbed Sanji's ankle with his right hand!

“You are showing great disrespect to God.”

The moment the cold words were pronounced, Enel raised his left hand and delivered a heavy elbow strike to the side of Sanji's knee!

"Crack!!" The sound of bone breaking was clearly audible.

"Aaaaaah!!" Sanji let out an extremely shrill scream, his right leg bent unnaturally backward, clearly having been forcibly broken!

Enel showed no mercy, grabbing Sanji's blond hair and throwing him away like a tattered sack!

"Twelve blooming stages!"

Just as Sanji was thrown out, countless arms sprouted from Enel's body like blooming flowers, tightly binding his limbs and torso.

Robin activated her power! Trying to create an opportunity for Zoro!

"Three-Sword Style: Ultimate Technique - Three Thousand Worlds!!"

Zoro, who was already prepared, appeared directly in front of Enel.

The three swords transformed into a cold light that tore through space, unleashing his strongest attack to date!

however.

"Discharge".

Enel simply uttered two words indifferently.

"Sizzle!!!"

A violent current of electricity erupted from his body and lashed violently at the arms that were wrapped around him!

"Ugh!" Robin, who was in the distance, was hit hard. Both her real body and the arm that had been conjured up felt intense burning pain and numbness at the same time. Her ability was broken instantly, and she screamed and collapsed to the ground.

However, in the face of Zoro's seemingly extremely fast ultimate slash, the trajectory was as clear as if it were in slow motion in front of Enel's Mind Network.

He didn't even use his weapon to parry; his free left hand simply reached out accurately.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, a single palm struck Zoro's face with perfect precision, abruptly interrupting his slashing momentum!

"too slow."

Immediately afterward, to everyone's utter astonishment, Enel, who had interrupted the attack, grabbed Zoro's head and swung him around violently.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...!"

Like smashing a tattered sack, Enel slammed Zoro's head against the hard ground again and again!

The dull thuds continued, and blood spurted from Zoro's mouth and nose instantly!

After repeating this dozens of times, Enel grabbed Zoro's blood-stained green hair as if throwing away trash and flung him violently toward Sanji, who was struggling to get up in the distance!

"Enough." The bear, which had been silently watching, finally moved.

He knew that if Enel continued to "play" with them, these kids might actually be beaten to death, which would not be in line with his original intention of "learning a profound lesson".

Then, Kuma closed the Bible, and in an instant, appeared in front of Zoro, who was flying backward, and Sanji, who was struggling.

That enormous body exuded a despairing sense of oppression.

The bear looked down at the two young men, their bodies covered in wounds, yet still glaring at him with angry and defiant eyes.

He sighed and calmly stated a cruel fact.

"Faced with absolute power, your so-called all-out effort..."

The palm slowly rose, the flesh ball's power ready to be unleashed.

"It looks...like..."

"Boom!"

The first palm strike landed precisely on Zoro.

Buy one get one free.

Zoro's figure vanished instantly, sent flying to an unknown distance.

Just as Sanji, with his broken leg, was about to make his next move with sheer willpower, Kuma's second paw landed effortlessly.

"Boom!"

Sanji also disappeared instantly, without any suspense.

In the blink of an eye, two of the Straw Hat crew's three main fighters were sent flying, and one was bound in shackles, lying in the distance, their fate unknown.

The remaining members include Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Brook, Franky, and others.

Seeing this nightmarish scene, I felt a chill run through my body, and even the thought of resistance was almost completely crushed.

Despair enveloped everyone.
