"Kiten!" Enel roared, his pupils contracting. He struck the drum on his left shoulder, unleashing a wolf of pure, high-voltage lightning.
The thunder-wolf howled and lunged.
Jin threw another simple punch. The sonic boom from the blow shattered the air and shook the very ruins.
The thunder-wolf exploded.
"Is this all the power a god has?" Jin asked, stepping forward. His gaze was as sharp as a blade. With each step, the ground trembled, the rocks cracking beneath his feet, his presence a crushing weight.
Even Wyper, a hardened warrior, felt a tremor of fear.
Though he spoke no words of arrogance, his absolute confidence, his overwhelming pressure, his invisible aura—it said everything.
Enel was shaken. He instinctively took a step back, but the retreat filled him with a profound sense of humiliation and rage.
He could not tolerate being suppressed by a mere "mortal."
A God is absolute.
He struck both drums simultaneously, and an even greater torrent of lightning erupted, coalescing into a writhing, divine dragon.
The dragon roared, soaring through the air, its body a condensed mass of brilliant, crackling lightning.
"60 Million Volt Jamboule!"
Jin punched the air.
The shockwave from his fist tore the thunder dragon apart and even left a massive, fist-shaped imprint on the storm clouds above.
Enel called himself a god? He loved to put on airs?
Then Jin would use the power of a "man" to crush him, to utterly and completely break him.
Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit was undeniably a god-tier fruit. The techniques he had developed were on the level of a Marine Admiral. Combined with his Ark Maxim, and its "Deathpiea" function—Mamaragan, Raigo, and the 200 Million Volt Amaru—he was a force of nature. His large-scale destructive power was comparable to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
His only weaknesses were his lackluster close-quarters combat skills and his complete ignorance of Armament Haki. Even so, he was easily on the level of an upper-tier Warlord.
Luffy's victory over him had been a stroke of pure luck.
Rubber counters lightning.
It didn't make scientific sense, but in a world where "willpower" was a tangible force, the unscientific could become scientific.
People observed that rubber was unharmed by lightning and came to believe it to be true. That belief was then fed back into the "will" of rubber itself, and it became immune.
After all, a Devil Fruit is the manifestation of a person's will, their desires, and their pursuit of evolutionary possibilities.
It is, by its very nature, a thing of the mind.
I think, therefore I am.
Seeing that even his 60 Million Volt Jamboule couldn't harm his opponent, a flicker of panic crossed Enel's face.
That was his strongest conventional attack.
But he had an ace up his sleeve. Before he had left his shrine to hunt down Wyper, he had activated the core of his ark: "Deathpiea."
"Deathpiea" was, in essence, a large-scale weather manipulation system, a technology unique to Skypieans, that could create a massive thundercloud. It was similar to the technology Nami would learn during her two years of training on Weatheria.
———————————————
The storm clouds above were now roiling, thick and dark, crackling with a massive buildup of electricity.
Enel spread his arms, and the lightning he generated and the lightning in the sky resonated with one another.
A massive torrent of electricity flowed into his body.
His eyes glowed.
A brilliant light erupted from his body, and the air, the very earth, began to tremble.
A surging power was welling up from within him.
Lightning crashed down from the sky, flowing into his body and then exploding outward in a tidal wave of destructive energy that obliterated everything around him.
The ruins were vaporized.
The sound was deafening.
Wyper, too slow to escape, was caught in the blast. His body was charred black, and blood trickled from his mouth.
He looked back and saw that the area around Enel, for a radius of five hundred meters, had become a "Domain of Lightning."
Thunderbolts rained down, the destructive power terrifying, tearing the very ground apart.
And in the center of that domain, a "god" was slowly rising. A colossal titan of pure lightning.
It was massive, as large as a mountain, its features terrifyingly lifelike, glowing with a brilliant white light.
"200 Million Volt Amaru!"
The thunder god glared down.
The tiny human below walked through the lightning, each of his punches creating a thunderous boom.
Though he was a giant, Enel felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of monster was this?
He had to kill him.
In his giant form, Enel was a being of pure, cold, emotionless power. He lunged forward and slammed his palms together. His massive hands blotted out the sky as he unleashed a world-ending thunderstorm.
It was an attack that could not be dodged. It could only be endured.
But Jin had no intention of dodging.
He stomped the ground, and it shattered like an earthquake as he shot into the air.
He met the storm head-on, as fast as lightning, the shockwave from his fist so powerful it seemed to warp space itself.
The fist and palm met.
Immense power and pure lightning clashed.
With a deafening roar, the lightning giant was pushed back, its massive hands unable to withstand the incredible force. Jin surged upward, then dove down, appearing before the titan's face.
"A god?" he asked, and threw a punch.
The full force of the blow was unleashed.
BOOOOOOM!
The lightning giant was sent flying, its massive body soaring for a thousand meters, destroying everything in its path.
The giant looked up at the sky.
Who is the god again?
Enel's mind went blank.
His confidence, built over years of untouchable power, was shattered by a single punch.
He crashed to the ground, crushing ancient trees, the earth itself exploding in a shower of rock and soil, leaving a massive crater.
He lay at the bottom, his human form restored, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
When he saw the man land before him, his strength finally gave out, and he slipped into unconsciousness.
The god had been defeated.
