Chương 112: 112. Enel
As he walks around the town on Birka, Buggy ponders about something. His body is still normal even though he is at 10 km above sea level. The altitude change should affect his body, especially his breath.
'The others also didn't have any difficulties like the Straw Hats & Roger Pirates. Is it because we go up slowly unlike them? Maybe that's the case because we have time to adapt while they don't,' ponders Buggy.
The Clowns go up slowly using the Hot-Air Balloon, so they have time to adapt to the air pressure change. While the Straw Hats & Roger Pirates move up too fast because of the Knock-Up Stream.
Well, it's a good thing for the Clowns because they don't need to adapt again. They'll be able to move normally now and don't need to worry if there's a trouble that forces them to fight.
While walking around, Buggy realizes that the people here are looking at him secretly. It's a normal look that he'll get as a visitor or someone from a different race. But it's also a wary look and they are putting their guard up.
'Hmm, these guys are trained as warriors, so they are always vigilant. But isn't this too much?' thinks Buggy while trying to act normally.
Buggy ignores the watching eyes and focuses on his exploration. These guys are not that strong, so he doesn't need to worry about them. The number isn't a problem too for the current him, so there's no need to worry.
In his exploration, Buggy finally finds what he always wants to see, Dials. These things are very useful and he won't get them outside of Sky Islands. It's also not clear whether Dials are available on every Sky Island or not. But at least Birka has them, so he needs to get as much as possible.
"Ruff will like them and he'll be able to use them for many things. I've already had some ideas too that I want him to make," says Buggy while checking some Dials.
There are many types of Dials here with many sizes. But the shops that sold them are very few and their prices are rather high. Maybe it's because he is a tourist, so the prices are higher.
But he has a solution for that problem, the soil. By using the soil, Buggy is sure he can get every Dial in Birka. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but at least he'll be able to get a lot of them.
Buggy leaves the shop after looking at the dials there. He doesn't buy anything and just checks them. There's no need to rush it as he has just arrived here.
While walking around, Buggy also tried many specialty foods, clothes, tools, etc. A new place always has new things that make him curious. This is also why he wanted to explore the world because it's always interesting to learn new things.
'Hmm? Isn't that?' thinks Buggy when he sees something that piqued his interest.
He looks at someone around his age that has a round ring with some drums on his back instead of wings.
'That must be Enel. There's no one here with drums on their back except him,' thinks Buggy while grinning.
Enel looks different from what Buggy remembers. He wears a shirt to cover his upper body, his ears aren't long, his hair is short, and he looks bored. Well, he is still young now, so he must be different than the older him.
Surprisingly, the Sky People are looking at Enel with a disgusted look and tend to get away from him. Buggy knows that it's because of the drum on his back instead of wings. Discrimination is everywhere, even on Sky Island.
'Maybe this is why he doesn't have any love for his homeland and destroy it later. Hmm, so he has such a past, huh? But it's still won't justify what he did in the series. Still, it might be my chance,' thinks Buggy.
Buggy knows Enel has great potential to be very strong. If he doesn't meet Luffy who is his natural enemy, then no one will be able to stop him at that time. Also, if he has the chance to sail on the sea, then Buggy is sure that Enel can get even stronger.
But Buggy knows that it won't be easy to make Enel get on his side. He doesn't know anything about Enel or how to make Enel wants to follow him. Also, he is rather worried about the dude's God Complex.
'I hope he hasn't grown his God Complex right now. It will make him very annoying,' thinks Buggy with an annoyed face.
Buggy decides to stalk Enel while erasing his presence so Enel won't detect him. It's an easy thing to do for him now after his 6 months of training. The martial arts that he learned are very useful.
To erase his presence, Buggy needs to control his breath. He learned it from the martial arts and combine them. After a lot of training, Buggy has improved this technique to a high degree.
No one in his crew can detect him while he used this technique. Their observation hakis are good, especially Mantis, but she still can't sense him. So Buggy is confident in his presence hiding skill.
However, he knows that Enel's 'Mantra', or Observation haki is very strong. The Rumble Rumble Fruit's ability enhance his Observation Haki to a high degree.
That's why Buggy isn't sure whether Enel can detect him or not. If Enel already has his devil fruit, then he might sense Buggy. But if he hasn't, then he won't sense Buggy's presence at all.
Buggy follows Enel from afar using his Observation haki to keep track of Enel. On his way, Buggy sees the discrimination that Enel gets. Although it's not very extreme to the point where people hurt Enel physically, Buggy knows it's still hurt his feeling.
With his observation haki, Buggy can also sense Enel's hatred for the people here. Of course, he will hate people who hate and discriminate against him. But Enel doesn't show it on his face and he just looks very bored with everything.
It's very interesting, but Buggy knows the reason after hearing people's conversations. Enel is strong since his younger age, so it makes people afraid to attack him. They can only talk bad about him and don't interact with him.
Buggy follows Enel until they leave the town and enter the forest. The trees here grow on the solid cloud that's not too good for them to grow. That's why the trees are rather rare and they're small.
After walking rather deep into the forest, Enel suddenly stops. Buggy also stops and looks at Enel from a very far distance. Many trees between them block his view. He can only sense Enel using his Observation haki.
*RUMBLE*
Suddenly, a lightning bolt comes from Enel's direction and moves toward Buggy. It's not a big lightning bolt, but it moves very fast. Buggy just grins and coats his right hand with colorless armament before flicking the lightning bolt away.
'Phew, luckily I can deflect the lightning with haki,' thinks Buggy.
"That's not a good way to greet someone," says Buggy while grinning and looking at Enel who has his eyes widened.
Enel never thought that Buggy will be able to deflect his lightning attack. No one has been able to do it since he got this ability a few weeks days ago. He has tested it on some people and no one can do what Buggy did.
'So he has eaten the devil fruit, huh? Then my plan to take the fruit has gone. But this also explains why he can detect my presence,' thinks Buggy.
"Who are you? Why're you following me?" asks Enel.
"Nothing. I'm just curious on a Sky People who don't have white wings," says Buggy.
"Sky People? Are you from Blue Sea?" asks Enel while frowning.
"Yeah, that's why I'm very curious about the Sky People," says Buggy.
"How did you deflect my attack?" asks Enel.
"Why should I tell you? I'm not stupid, you know," says Buggy.
Enel frowns hearing Buggy's answer, but then he grins and says, "Fine, I'll force you to answer it."
Enel cracks his neck and fingers while grinning. He is ready to attack Buggy to get the answer. He still has that young blood and spirit to fight someone.
Buggy grins and taunts Enel with his finger, "Come!"
