Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

Enel, cut in two, grinned menacingly. Between the smooth cuts, chains of lightning connected and pulled, trying to mend his body.

At the same time, he spread his five fingers, grasped the leaping lightning in the void, and was about to smash it towards Kuina.

"Tsk, this guy is really arrogant."

Leviathan, nestled in Sakura's arms, glanced at Enel and clicked his tongue in disdain.

He's just a petty thief who just acquired a Nature-type skill; even the great Nature-type generals that Leviathan has fought weren't as arrogant as him.

"Indeed, we should catch him on the boat and teach him a lesson."

Sakura smiled maliciously and swept her dangerous gaze over Enel, who was engaged in fierce combat.

"You want him to join us?"

Tiger was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Sakura nodded, "Yes, don't let his arrogant and smug appearance fool you, he's actually quite capable."

The fact that Enel could lead the entire construction of the Ark Maxim with just an old and incomplete blueprint demonstrates his exceptional knowledge and practical skills as a shipwright.

Coincidentally, Leviathan also lacked a skilled shipwright to perform routine maintenance and upgrade her weapons and equipment.

Enel, who possesses considerable combat prowess and exceptional shipbuilding talent, would be an excellent candidate.

"Interesting, I'll try this guy out later!"

Tiger's interest was piqued by Sakura's praise.

The two of them stared intently at the battlefield with expectant eyes, until they got goosebumps all over when they saw Enel, who had transformed into lightning.

"Damn it, it's happening again!"

Enel, supporting himself with one hand, did several somersaults to create distance between himself and Kuina, then squatted on a large rock not far away, hugging his arms and rubbing them together.

Feeling as if he were being stared at with malicious intent by a hungry beast, Enel couldn't ignore the creature spying on him.

"Thunder!"

With a flick of his right arm, a bolt of lightning, radiating immense light, roared and crashed down on the onlookers riding on the Veyron.

Even though Enel had just eaten the Devil Fruit, the voltage he possessed when he first gained it was as high as 30 million volts.

Boom!

Above the desolate sky island, an indescribable roar suddenly erupted.

Amidst flashes of lightning, Sakura, sitting atop the Veyron, gave a mocking smile.

He simply raised his finger slowly and gently flicked it.

Without the need for chakra, simply by instinctively manipulating electrons with the ability of collision ionization, the Thunder Deflection that locks onto Weba is deflected.

In a moment of stunned disbelief, a lightning bolt carrying thirty million volts struck its 'target'.

【? 】

A giant air fish leaping from the white sea stared wide-eyed in confusion.

Then, as it stood there dazed, the lightning pierced through its body, leaving a deep gash.

"Yes, it's perfectly ripe, you won't prick it with a needle."

Sakura took a light sniff of the aroma of grilled fish in the air and gave Enel a provocative look in the distance.

"Damn it!" Enel's face immediately turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Raise both arms high to mobilize all the electricity in your body to the maximum extent.

The ferocious lightning gathered between his arms, forming the outline of a dragon's head, and the lightning roared as it stood tall.

"Sixty million Volt Thunder Dragons!"

A dragon-shaped surge of high-voltage current burst forth.

A figure stood in front of the deadly arc of electricity.

"Ha, foolish mortal, die under the judgment of the gods with your ignorance!"

Enel laughed mockingly at Kuina's behavior.

However, the girl gripped the twin swords tightly with both hands, and the chakra flowed evenly over the surface of the blades, transforming into dazzling and majestic lightning under Kuina's mastery of nature transformation.

Ding!

The faint, lingering hum of swords and blades spread lightly, heralding the beginning of destruction.

——Nito-ryu·Iai·Inazuma!

The thunderous roar of the sword cutting through the air erupted slowly, and the entire white sea suddenly twisted and rippled, creating a white wave.

Then, Enel saw his lightning dragon, which should have burned through everything, being sliced ​​in two along the midline by the twin swords that were moving against the current.

The lightning bolt was cleaved in two!

"How is this possible!" Enel roared in grief and indignation.

His facial muscles twitched, his brows furrowed, his eyes widened, and he gaped in shock.

That's lightning! How could anyone possibly cut it open with a knife?

"Nothing is impossible. As a swordsman, all you need to do is trust your sword!"

In the blink of an eye, as the intense light dissipated, Kuina, stroking her sword, arrived in front of Enel.

"you...."

Enel sensed the direction of Kuina's sword strike through his mental network, but her speed was too fast for him to dodge.

The instant the Flying Slash lit up, Enel closed his eyes.

It's alright, this is the power of God, I am immortal!

"Dual Sword Style: Death - Utpala!"

puff!

Chapter 217 An Easily Handled God~

"I was slashed?"

A terrifying chill spread through Enel's soul, and he stared blankly down at his chest.

The sensation of swords slicing through skin, cutting through flesh and bone, and tearing apart the lungs and viscera was so vivid.

The mournful cries of death enveloped him, rendering him unable to utter a sound.

His vision was rapidly darkening; the passing of life was urging his organs to release large amounts of adrenaline, making the world appear to slow down.

Damn it, didn't I already have the power of the gods? Why was I killed so easily?

boom!

Enel's body crashed to the ground, but the pain in his back gave him a sense of being alive again.

"Damn it, you damned mortal!"

Sobbing as he got up, Enel wanted to rebuild his body.

However, the feeling of being pierced by swords had already been engraved in his heart through Muramasa's death aura.

Even if one's mind commands their body to recover, their subconscious still believes that their body should remain disconnected.

Therefore, Enel could only continuously transform into lightning, reassemble, shatter, and reassemble again.

It struggles pitifully on the island clouds.

"Guina, well done."

Sakura drove the Waver to the shore and walked towards the two of them, clapping her hands.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Sister Xiaoying's excellent teaching~."

Kuina, having sheathed her sword and returned to the group, raised her hand and scratched the back of her head.

"Alright, let's go welcome our new member."

Sakura ruffled Kuina's hair and led the crew toward Enel.

Amidst the flickering thunderclouds, Enel's face contorted with resentment, his gaze filled with shame and indignation as he looked at Sakura.

"It was you! You were the one interfering with me from the very beginning!"

A hand emerged from the lightning and grabbed Sakura's trouser leg. "You actually tried to win this way? Do you have any honor as warriors? How despicable!"

"Haha, looks like he's still not convinced."

Sakura laughed and turned to Tiger for a nod.

The tall, red fish-man gave a knowing smile and walked toward Enel, cracking his knuckles.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Having barely managed to restore his limbs with lightning, Enel crawled haphazardly into the distance.

"No...don't come any closer!!!"

The future Sky Island God glared and roared.

Then he saw the six-meter-tall red fishman bend down and reach out to grab his leg.

???

In a moment of stunned disbelief, Enel's thoughts raced.

What's going on with this group of people from Qinghai? It's one thing for them to cut through Leiting with a knife, but another for them to do so.

The red one in front of him is even more outrageous; why did he just grab it with his bare hand?

"Kid, I'll teach you a lesson today: Natural elements are powerful, but they're not omnipotent!"

Tiger gripped Enel's leg, and the superhuman strength in his grip made his expression change.

However, it was this excruciating gripping that caused the bodies, which were originally unable to come together, to reassemble.

"Fishman Karate - Shoulder Throw!"

Tiger's Armament Haki captured Enel's body and even wrapped around him, rendering his elemental transformation ineffective.

Enel, who was being grabbed and swung around, felt a dizzying sensation before Tiger slammed him into the rock-hard island cloud.

Click!

Numerous cracks spread haphazardly, and soil and rocks shattered and flew into the air.

But it was Enel, who was held in Tiger's hand, that bore the brunt of the impact and recoil.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and blood seeped from the numerous bruises on his body.

Enel, his body deeply embedded in the pit, rolled his eyes back and his consciousness gradually faded.

"Hmm, he has a strong physique and indeed possesses remarkable combat talent."

Tiger, having released his grip, walked back to Sakura's side and nodded in approval.

"Haha, I knew it."

Sakura stepped forward, ready to treat Enel.

Just as her hand was about to touch Enel, his eyes suddenly opened.

Immediately, a hand crackling with electricity reached out and grabbed Sakura's shoulder, sending current into her body.

With his other hand, he pulled out a dagger from behind his back and held it to the girl's neck.

"Don't move!"

Enel, who had taken hostages, was like a wounded beast. He shielded Sakura in front of him, his fierce eyes sweeping over Kuina and the others.

"Hey, don't do that, you'll get hurt!"

Sakura looked down at the dagger held to her neck and kindly reminded him.

"Who cares about you? You're a hostage now!"

Enel increased the pressure in his hand, plunging the dagger into Sakura's skin.
