BOOOM!!!
The azure-blue Lunar Dust Cannon collided head-on with Sanji's Flambage Shot, wrapped in Armant Haki and blazing flas, erupting into a terrifying storm of energy!
Under the direct brunt of that force, the deck of the Visalia shattered and vaporized instantly, leaving behind a massive, charred crater!
"Guh…!"
Sanji's body was blasted away like a cannonball, smashing through the mast behind him before crashing down to one knee on the deck.
The right leg he had used to block the attack, his suit pants were completely burned to ash, and his calf was covered in dense electrical burn marks, trembling uncontrollably.
"Haa… haa…"
Sanji exhaled a breath that slled faintly of scorched hair.
His Armant Haki had blocked the strange erosion of the Lunar Rock, but the hundred million-volt current still pierced through his defense, filling his entire body with searing pain and numbness.
"Yahahahaha!"
Enel hovered in midair, looking down at the battered Sanji with a smile like a cat toying with a mouse.
"Oh? You're still standing? It seems that in the Blue Sea, you're at least a sowhat capable 'warrior.' But, this is the end."
A god's judgnt does not tolerate repeated defiance from mortals.
He slowly raised his golden staff, pointing it at Sanji, ready to deliver the thunderous finishing blow.
"Oi, long-eared bastard."
Suddenly, a lazy voice with a chilling undertone appeared right beside Enel.
"Your opponent… is the both of us."
"What?!"
For that mont, even Enel's prideful Mantra didn't perceive any warning. He spun around in shock.
Rehn had silently appeared midair on his left side, almost as if he had been there the whole ti.
Hands in his pockets, calmly standing on the air, using Geppo.
"Another insect?"
Displeasure flickered in Enel's eyes.
"Oi, fatso."
Sanji shook out his numbed leg, stood up straight, and lit a cigarette.
"This guy… is tricky."
"I can see that."
Rehn pushed his glasses up.
"Goro Goro no Mi, one of the strongest Logia. His speed is lightning, his attacks are lightning. And with his island-wide Observation? He's practically invincible."
"Mortal, you're quite knowledgeable!"
Enel raised his chin proudly.
"Since you understand the greatness of 'God'… kneel and die."
"But-" Rehn's tone shifted, tinged with pity.
"You… seem to be missing sothing."
"Sothing?" Enel frowned.
"This."
Rehn vanished.
Enel's Mantra instantly sensed him behind!
"Fool! Before lightning-"
He smirked, turning his body into light. A blinding flash erupted as he prepared to fry the intruder.
But then-
"Too slow."
A fist coated in jet-black Armant Haki tore through the lightning!
Before Enel could fully transform, Rehn's fist landed squarely on his back!
"GUH!!"
Ti froze for a mont.
Enel's expression twisted, eyes bulging in disbelief.
Pain.
Clear, unmistakable, pain!
Ever since eating the Goro Goro no Mi, except for that damned rubber brat, this was the first ti… soone had hit his real body.
"Y-you… how could you, "
BOOM!
Rehn's punch exploded, sending Enel crashing down like a shot bird, plunging into the white sea of clouds below, raising billowing waves of mist.
"…"
"…"
Every scientist on the deck stared with their jaws on the floor.
"Y-you're kidding, right?"
"Enel...Enel… got punched out of the sky?!"
"Thats Rehn!"
Nami covered her mouth, eyes wide with shock and rising excitent.
But then, she saw sothing even more shocking.
"Unforgivable! UNFORGIVABLE!!!"
A thunder pillar thicker than the Lunar Dust Cannon blasted upward!
Enel ascended again, clutching his aching back, his beautiful features twisted with fury.
"Insects! What sorcery did you use?!"
"This isn't sorcery."
Sanji was now in midair beside Rehn, using Geppo as well. His right leg burned red with flas again, this ti coated in Armant Haki.
"This is a power everyone in the New World knows."
"Armant Haki!"
Rehn's voice turned cold.
"It's made specifically to counter arrogant Logia users like you."
"Haki?!"
Enel had obviously never heard the term.
"Looks like this 'god' is just a frog in a well," Sanji sneered.
"SHUT UP!!"
Enel snapped. His drums roared with frenzied thunder.
"200 Million Volts Amaaru!!"
His body morphed into a towering thunder giant tens of ters tall. The sheer pressure and power shook the sky itself.
"Thunder Purification!!"
A massive lightning beam swept across hundreds of ters like divine wrath.
"Scatter!"
Rehn and Sanji broke in opposite directions.
"Don't think you can run!" Enel's Mantra locked onto both.
"Thunderbirds!"
Two thunderbirds shot out, faster than sound.
"Diable Jambe Dragon Chop!"
Sanji twisted midair, kicking one thunderbird straight in the head, halting it, though the shock nearly numbed him again.
"Tch! Annoying thing!" he growled.
anwhile, Rehn didn't dodge.
He opened his hand, Armant Haki swirling like a tiny black vortex in his palm.
"Armant Empty Palm."
He struck the air.
A concentrated shockwave of pure Haki blasted the thunderbird, BOOM!
Shattering it into glittering arcs of electricity.
"What?!"
Enel was stunned. His attacks, which were absolute against normal fighters, were almost ineffective here!
"Now! Sanji!" Rehn shouted.
"On it!"
Sanji had already circled behind the Raijin.
"Diable Jambe Rapid Kick Course!"
His Haki-coated legs unleashed a storm of crushing kicks onto Enel's back.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Each blow rocked the thunder giant.
"DAMN INSECTS!!"
Enel whirled around, reaching for Sanji with a massive thunder hand.
"Your opponent is ."
Rehn appeared in front of him like a ghost, right fist wrapped in the densest Armant Haki yet.
"Armant Extre Break!"
He drove his fist toward the Raijin's heart.
"God's Wrath!!"
Enel countered with his strongest thunder pillar.
They clashed head-on.
KRRAAACK, BOOOOOM!!!
The sky itself seed to split in two.
Black Haki shockwaves tore into gold lightning, the two forces devouring each other.
Sanji was blown back by the aftershock.
Rehn pushed forward, inch by inch, through billion-volt current.
"H-how… is this possible?!"
Nami was speechless.
The scholars were pale, trembling, as if witnessing a myth co alive.
"A-are they really human…?"
"That curly-browed guy… and Rehn…"
Her heart pounded wildly.
Sanji, whom she always thought of as a flirt, was this strong?!
And Rehn, seemingly a harmless aide to Renzo, possessed power beyond comprehension.
The two of them…
Were fighting the invincible "God" Enel, and we're winning!
"Yahahahaha… interesting! SO INTERESTING!!"
Enel roared, pouring more power into the clash while monitoring Sanji with his Mantra.
Armant Haki restrained his lightning.
Their teamwork closed the gap in speed.
Enel's godlike power, stamina, and all-seeing Mantra held the balance.
A three-way stalemate of divine proportions.
