Bab 66: Chapter 66 : Ultimate Attack!
"BOOM!"
[Amidst the thunder and lightning emanating from Enel's body, as he ascended into the Sky Dome...]
[In this very moment, the perpetual thunderclouds above the sky underwent a transformation!]
[Their size was immense, comparable to an island, even as they materialized from the Skys!]
[The myriads of thunderbolts vanished, replaced by an enormous orb of thunder...]
[Adorning it, was a frenzied, flickering thunder that exuded an aura of world-ending devastation...]
[Resembling a celestial body, it inexorably descended upon the Sky Island...]
[Within it lay a dreadful power, capable of annihilating all in its path...]
[This spherical thunder, brimming with destructive and violent aura, was Enel's ultimate technique...]
"Raigou!"
At this instant, anyone observing the live broadcast...
Without exception, was utterly stupefied!
Even through the screen, the magnitude of this terrifying presence was palpable!
Should this attack strike the Sky Island, in an instant...
The island would suffer cataclysmic damage!
Not to mention its inhabitants, it seemed they would be incinerated to ash by searing temperatures, leaving nothing behind!
This attack... surpassed the menace of the previous Raigou!
It was even more dire...
Whitebeard, gazing towards the Skys, narrowed his eyes involuntarily.
This power...
A sensation he hadn't felt in a long time!
As the mightiest individual in the world, Whitebeard had crossed swords with countless formidable opponents in his lifetime.
With the exception of Gol D. Roger, few could truly contend with him.
The strength of others, relative to his own, scarcely merited remembrance!
Presently, although he bore injuries, he was more than a match for most of the powerful figures in this era.
Let alone his prime...
This newfound strength filled Whitebeard with even more confidence, save for the advancing years!
It reaffirmed his status as the ultimate power, second only to Garp!
However, at this very moment, facing Enel's Raigou, he felt a tremor.
This level of power, this degree of annihilation, presented a worthy adversary!
Even though he knew well that Raigou was a manifestation of Enel's years of work on the Ark, it didn't detract from its potency.
Raigou... was a force to be reckoned with!
Shanks too, displayed a trace of concern on his face.
"Luffy's opponent possesses strength that transcends the norm..."
"Despite Raigou being an attack enabled by an external tool..."
"The fact that he could amplify the power of his Thunder to such a level attests to his deep mastery of his Devil Fruit!"
In all honesty, as the battle unfolded, Shanks' optimism regarding Luffy's victory waned.
This level of attack, even if he were to engage personally, warranted utmost vigilance!
On this matter, he shared Whitebeard's sentiment!
Be it Enel's innate strength or not, this thunder's unleashed potential matched that of a Four Emperor's full assault!
Of course... it was only a single attack!
But whether Whitebeard or Shanks were to engage Enel, as long as they endured Raigou, it was likely Enel had no other tricks at his disposal, rendering him vulnerable.
Nonetheless, this assault was lauded by the two reigning Emperors of the sea!
Not just them, the remaining prominent figures also marveled at the scene.
Garp, Sengoku, Kaido, Big Mom, and even Dragon!
Each of them recognized the terror that was Raigou...
It was clear that this attack was more than impressive.
The dread it evoked convinced Dragon he could not allow this individual to persist, else his son would be imperiled.
Swiftly, he hastened towards the Sky Island...
Simultaneously, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, en route to Sirop Village, witnessed the colossal thunderball in the sky that obscured the horizon.
Nami's legs quaked, her mind went blank.
Could such a fearsome attack really be unleashed?
This man... was set to become her future adversary?
Impossible!
Unless he was insane, what drove him to provoke such a perilous presence?
The reactions of Luffy and Zoro couldn't have been more contrasting.
Though momentarily stunned, they both bore expressions of excitement and unwavering determination...
In the face of danger and adversaries, the two harbored a shared ethos!
Fear had no place in their lives.
Their life's creed? Challenge and confront!
Whether in battle or on the path to battle, they were unwavering.
"Zoro, it seems our future adventures promise excitement. I'm genuinely looking forward to that day!"
Zoro grinned in agreement, "Indeed, just the sight of it makes my blood boil. I can't help but want to unsheathe my blade!"
Nami, on the other hand, was bewildered.
Had she embarked on a pirate's ship?
It felt as though her future was rife with danger...
["Accept the judgment, you mortals, this is the power of a god, hahaha!"]
With the emergence of Raigou, Enel stood atop the Ark and laughed.
His laughter was brimming with madness and exhilaration, tinged with disdain for the ants before him.
Subsequently, beneath the astonished gazes of Luffy and his companions, the Sky Island's residents, and the Skypieans...
Raigou descended gently onto the Sea of Clouds, unleashing boundless might!
"Boom..."
In an instant, the colossal power surged unrestrained!
Endless thunder enshrouded a several-mile radius, turning the area into a frenzied sea of thunder.
Such an astounding and horrifying spectacle might not even spare a Giant.
The thunder's devastation transformed everything into nothingness, and countless plumes of white smoke ascended, unveiling the aftermath of the cataclysm...
The settlement of the Sky Island's inhabitants had vanished entirely, replaced by a gaping chasm.
Viewed from above, the Sea of Clouds appeared bottomless, akin to an abyss.
All traces of human creation were obliterated.
Even after the detonation, numerous lightning arcs continued to dance within.
This single strike eradicated the town, rending the Sea of Clouds asunder.
This titanic assault even plunged through the white sea beneath, creating an unfathomable void.
This illustrated the unfathomable power inherent to Raigou!
Fortunately, the island's residents had evacuated the town.
Otherwise, not only the town, but tens of thousands of inhabitants of the Sky Island...
"The might of Raigou... It feels just as overwhelming to watch."
"This danger is unprecedented..."
Doflamingo, sweating, fixed his eyes on the scene, his forehead dampened by beads of perspiration.
The gravity of this spectacle was undeniable!
Shakky, clutching her lit cigar, exuded a profound sense of envy.
"Compared to Raigou, the prior Lightning Wrath was a mere appetizer!"
"No wonder Enel has always been fearless; possessing such a formidable ace up his sleeve makes him capable of decimating the Sky Island or even an entirecountry with ease!"
In the Blue Sea, those present, including Baby 5 and Diamante, were left awestruck and envious.
The Yonko, Blackbeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Moria, and even Mihawk... all shared the sentiment!
Upon witnessing Raigou's detonation, they realized that this power transcended their own.
Except for Mihawk, who possessed the confidence to stand against it, the rest recognized that their all-out assaults were dwarfed by Raigou's might!
Moria, in particular, stood petrified, his pallid face growing paler, akin to a ghost.
Now, he comprehended why Luffy had defeated him.
Fighting such a monstrosity without dying was a feat in itself, and Luffy was likewise a marvel.
Defeat at Luffy's hands... was no disgrace.
In the current situation, it mattered little whether Luffy or Enel emerged victorious.
At the very least, Moria, with his own strength, was incapable of facing Enel.
Staring at the explosion wrought by Raigou, Moria felt an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.
He recalled a time when he had challenged Kaido.
The dread evoked by sheer power once more resurfaced...
