Luffy and others didn't ask much and started on their way. Ken could always use the Observation Haki to find them, so this was not a big deal. In fact, they could ride the Bifrost and get to the Upper Yard, which was quite close by, but they didn't. Luffy was a sucker for adventure, and he wouldn't let anything come in the way.
Soon, both of the small boats took off and vanished into the cloud road that led to the upper yard. Ken just watched them from the shore. The berets who worked as police under the orders of Enel were confused about why this guy didn't go with them.
Was he scared? But he looked like someone who had quite a bit of respect in the crew, so why didn't he go? Some of the berets wanted to test their luck and see if they could catch him and bring him to the god, but before they could do so, Ken brought out his Stormbreaker, and before the berets could arm themselves well, he opened the Bifrost and vanished.
The berets were dumbfounded with what had happened and just looked at the weird burnt circle on the ground in amazement. What the hell was this?
When Ken appeared again, he was in a new place. The place looked like an old temple with its wall structures but had modern amenities. In the courtyard of the old temple, there was a man laying on his side, eating fruits while looking around.
His eyes looked like they were half asleep and seemed to belong to someone who didn't care about the world. But as Ken appeared above his head, he slowly looked up. His eyes still held the narcissism and God complex that he had always maintained.
This was Enel. And Ken had just appeared near him.
Ken slowly floated down. He didn't need Mjolnir or Stormbreaker to fly anymore. His Rinnegan eyes allowed him to do that without any help now. Enel's eyes followed his descent and he didn't say anything. He was a bit curious too about the new pirates that had arrived.
They were easily able to take down the shrimp he had sent, and now there was another guy. Ken didn't say anything and proceeded to take an apple that was lying on the table and sit just opposite Enel.
His followers were not around at the moment, and thus he was alone with Ken.
"Emine.. I mean, Enel. Am I right?"
Enel just looked at him without responding at all, and only his munching sounds were heard.
"It must be good to sit around and enjoy yourself just because you got lucky in your life once." Ken said.
"Who gave you the right to sit here like that and talk to me?" Enel replied in a very calm and orderly tone, making sure all his pronunciation was heard. With those words, Enel lifted his hand and said,
"10,000 volts."
A huge spark of lightning covered the hand of Enel in just a second, and the same huge spark of lightning hit Ken with all its intensity. The intensity was so huge that everything in its path was obliterated. Burning everything to a crisp.
Ken took the full hit of the lightning attack without even moving. Neither of them bothered to move. He was Thor to begin with. Any elemental attacks from anyone in this world were almost a joke to him. Even Akainu wouldn't be able to do shite to him; forget about Enel, who didn't have Armament Haki and only relied on his devil fruit.
Enel went back to eating, as he expected the man who had come flying down to be already half dead after being hit by his 10,000 volts. But when the dust settled and he saw Ken sitting in the same position as when he was still looking at him, he was a little taken aback.
"You did good by dodging my attack."
Ken was amazed by the narcissism of this guy and how he thought that Ken had dodged his attack.
"10,000,000 volts."
This time, from the hand of Enel, there was no spark but rather a cylindrical white beam of light that traveled from his hand towards him. Ken, just like last time, decided not to do anything about it and let Enel see with his own eyes. The lightning attack passed through Ken's body like nothing happened.
After a few seconds, the calm and collected Enel had his eyes wide open, his jaw falling to his chin, and tears coming out of his eyes. He was dumbfounded, to say the least. He probably gave a better surprise Pikachu' face. He couldn't believe his own eyes after what he saw.
"What... what are you?" Enel was shaking when he asked that. He always believed himself to be God because he had lightning power and nobody could stand in front of him due to his power. But today, for the first time, he saw someone not being affected in the least, and even his clothes didn't seem to burn or get torn.
Ken lifted his hand while it sparked with lightning, and his eyes became blue.
"You think you are the only one who has control of lightning." Ken said, and then he vanished from his place. He used the body flicker jutsu and appeared near Enel, but he was too out of shape to use his 'mantra, or rather, he didn't care to use his mantra.
But that was his greatest mistake. Ken's hand had turned black, and he struck at Enel's face with his knuckles. Enel was expecting his hand to go through his head, but he was wrong.
He had never been so wrong in his life.
Enel was punched so hard that he flew away on the side and destroyed a pillar on the temple before stopping. His mouth spat out a tooth, and his face instantly bulged.
Enel was hit physically for the first time in years.
