"Thunder Fruit?"
Katakuri suddenly fell into thought. But as far as he knew, he had never seen or heard of people who have this Devil Fruit ability.
Marco and Katakuri couldn't reach any conclusions from their analysis. With just this clue, they couldn't figure out who it was. The world is big, and there might be hidden powerhouses they don't know about.
Later, Marco took all the wounded back. However, on the way back, they encountered a figure.
"That's him?" Marco looked up and saw a guy wearing a headscarf floating in the air, with pale skin and lazy eyes looking at them. Behind the person were four drums with three magatama in each drum.
"Yaahaha, the flag of Whitebeard. It seems it's Whitebeard's crew again. You guys are fast"
Standing in the sky and speaking is Enel, who has already left Sky Island to the moon. If it wasn't for the information Whitebeard gave him, he wouldn't have returned and gone to the blue sea.
However, Enel didn't know about Whitebeard, but since he came to the New World, he has heard the people talk about him. As a strong man, Enel's desire to compete with Whitebeard has also been stirred.
Therefore, after encountering Whitebeard's forces, Enel couldn't help but attack. His attack wasn't serious, but it still led to injuries for Jean and his team.
Now, Enel saw Whitebeard's fleet again, and at first glance, it seemed to be quite large, with more people than before.
"The ones who came this time should be stronger"
Enel said to himself. He felt the previous fight with Jean and the others was too easy, and they were basically unable to defend themselves.
Enel uses his thunder power to float in the air. He has mastered his fruit abilities more proficient than when he encountered Luffy, not just as an attack method, but also for various kinds of auxiliary abilities.
Under Enel's gaze, Marco and Katakuri were subconsciously cautious. Despite Enel floating in the air and appearing close, there was still a distance between them.
Therefore, Marco and Katakuri didn't act rashly, but they strongly suspected that the man was the one who injured Jean and his team. Marco immediately prepared the crew for battle.
"This guy isn't easy. I'll test him later. You analyze his abilities,"
Marco said to Katakuri. If the other party didn't make a move, then Marco planned to try that person himself.
As long as his abilities are related to thunder, they can basically figure it out.
"I feel a bit of danger from him. You must be careful"
Katakuri said solemnly. His eyes glanced at Enel with a trace of dread. The strong usually exude a frightening aura, quietly but unmistakably.
"Yeah," Marco nodded.
However, just after they finished speaking, Enel's figure floated closer in the sky, accompanied by laughter.
"Yaaahaha, you've got good eyes. Did you sense danger? But it's too late. Now that you've met me, then you leave with some scars,"
Enel's arrogant voice echoed.
"Huh? He heard us?"
Marco was surprised. They were whispering at such a close distance, and Enel was so far away. How could he hear them?
"This feeling, this ability... apart from him, I only felt this kind of feeling from Oyaji,"
Katakuri said with some concern.
"Who are you? Did you injure Jean and his crew?"
Marco transformed into a phoenix and flew into the sky, confronting Enel. In this state, even if the opponent attacks suddenly, Marco would be restored immediately.
"What kind of flame is this? It looks so beautiful"
Enel said, showing immediate curiosity at Marco's ability.
"Answer my question,"
Marco said lightly.
"What's the problem? Are you talking about that trash? Yeah, I did"
Enel replied indifferently.
"Do you know who they are? Do you recognize this flag?"
Marco asked again, pointing to their Pirate Ship flag, which bore the Whitebeard logo.
Enel glanced at him inconspicuously, then chuckled slightly with a scornful smile. "Yes, I know you're from the Whitebeard Pirates, but my goal is Whitebeard!"
When Enel said those words, Marco and Katakuri were shocked. They had no idea someone would dare declare war on Whitebeard so boldly. It seemed extremely serious, yet with a trace of confidence.
"No matter who you are, you might not understand Oyaji. His power isn't something mortals can compare to. It's the first time I've seen someone so arrogant towards him. I doubt you'll even get close to him"
"It's time for you to go down!"
Marco said to Enel.
But to this, Enel replied contemptuously, "I am not a mortal. Do you think I am the same as you people?"
"No, it's not the same!"
Enel's forehead twitched suddenly, making an exaggerated movement as if he had seized control of the world, and then he spoke proudly.
"I am a god!"
A burst of Haki erupted from Enel. Though not Conqueror's Haki, the aura it emitted was extraordinary.
Both Marco and Katakuri were stunned, staring blankly at the sky where Enel was. What was that? It felt like a god descending on the world. Around Enel's body, blue lightning flashed.
However, Marco soon snapped out of it and said, a bit surprised, "He actually called himself a god. What's his background?"
Even after following Whitebeard for many years, Marco didn't know there was still such a top-tier person in the New World. Just the momentum he showed was enough to prove he was a strong man.
"I don't know, I haven't heard of him either. It seems today we're in for a tough fight"
Katakuri added with a heavy tone
Both Marco and Katakuri were ready to fight, and they ordered all the crew to hide in the cabin. In this situation, they wouldn't be able to help anymore.
Seeing Marco and Katakuri looking dignified, Enel couldn't help but smile. Then, he decisively attacked, hitting the drum behind his back, and a powerful thunderbolt crashed down from the sky.
