Chapter 161: God vs. God
Enel slowly got up on his feet and looked at Ken in horror. He couldn't believe his own feelings.
"How?.. How are you able to hit me?"
Ken didn't reply and used the Body Flicker Jutsu and appeared near Enel, again. This time he wasn't as clueless as the last time. He used his mantra. But there was a problem here. Ken also knew observation haki, and actually his observation haki was much better now than him thanks to his physique and his new set of eyes. After Ken got Rinnegan and Sharingan, his observation haki somehow tended to grow much faster than before.
So his mantra wasn't exactly effective in front of him, and Enel was again hit on the other side of the face even though he made a dodging move. He flew away again and destroyed a bunch of things along the way. Now the good pale face of Enel had swollen like a pumpkin.
Ken this time didn't let Enel stand up, caught him by the neck, and flew up. After lifting him up, he let himself use the move that Ken was loving the most now.
"Shinra Tensei."
Enel, who was confused, was hit by gravity's push, and before he knew it, he was hit on the ground with intense force. But of course, this move wasn't as effective against Enel as it was against Blackbeard. He etherealized himself and got out of the danger zone. Though he did that, he was still able to feel the aftershock. If he wasn't a logia, it would have been a different story for him.
He appeared a few meters away from the almighty push crater and looked at Ken. Ken actually wanted to see if his almighty push had any effect on logia fruits, but was sad that it was not the case. Enel got way pretty fast.
Ken slowly came down and saw Enel, who was also looking at him with anger and fear mixed within.
"Who are you?"
"You have heard so much from your mantra. Why bother asking?" Ken asked.
Enel got his tongue tied. He did hear what Ken and others were saying, but that was just his pass time. He wasn't particularly interested before and only recently became so. He had seen tons of pirates coming here and taken care of them, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"What do you want?" Enel said as he put his hands behind his back. He was going to call down lightning from the sky on Ken and see if it worked.
"What do I want? Well, I want many things, but beating you right now is the top priority." Ken replied with a sunny smile. This incensed Enel more, and without stopping, he called down a huge bolt of lightning from the sky. Ken just looked up and shook his head.
He let the lightning hit again. And as expected, he came out of it without a scratch. Normal lightning couldn't affect him; only lightning that could pass through his nerves had the ability to hurt him, which Loki did in Ragnarok, but sadly, none of these people know.
If Enel could deliver the lightning to his nerves, only then would he have the chance to win, which in this case was almost impossible as he had Armament Haki.
Enel was sweating from his head as he watched Ken come out so easily. He was sure that Ken didn't dodge and took it all. So why had lightning no effect on him? Well, that was too much thought, and Ken had enough of it. He flew straight at him and was ready to deliver a punch. But this time, Enel was cunning about it.
He teleported to a different location. But Ken didn't stop and gave chase to Enel. This was one of the drawbacks of his haki. He couldn't see the future, and he wasn't as fast as Enel. It was fine if it was just a melee fight, but once Enel thought of running, it was a different game.
Enel wasn't ready to fight with this dangerous kid, and he was very close to completing his ark. He couldn't just give it up. And thus the chase of cat and mouse began. But Ken wasn't exactly infuriated by it. He was training his Haki too while going after Enel.
Though it was impossible for him to see the future in the short term, that didn't mean that he couldn't train for it. He went on a flying spree, and Enel was teleporting to random places in the Upper Yard.
This went on for a few minutes before Enel stopped and looked at Ken angrily.
"You want to come after me no matter what." Enel asked. Ken just looked as if he were some kind of fool. Two hits were all it took to send this coward on an escape spree.
"Then I will kill your friends." Enel declared. Ken just looked at him smilingly.
"You can try," Ken replied.
"You don't care about your friends. I am sure that your friends don't have the same lightning power as you. The women on the ship seemed good. I wonder if I could have some fun torturing them." Enel said.
"As I said, you can try. But remember, for every woman you put your hand on, one section of your golden flying ark will be destroyed by me." Ken said, reminding Enell that he too had something to lose. Enel had been trying to get to the moon for such a long time, and finally his plans were coming to fruition after years. The golden ark was almost ready.
"How do you know this?" Enel was horrified. He thought he had hidden everything, but his secret plans got exposed so easily.
"You use lightning the same way I do. Is it that surprising?" Ken aske.
"But people from the Blue Islands don't know mantra." Enel refuted.
"Then you haven't met the ones who can. Honestly, the mantra you call is called Haki in the Blue Islands, and there are ones who could take you down with one punch, just like I did. I am not actually very good at it."
