Enel flew high into the sky, unleashing all two hundred million volts of lightning from his entire body, enveloping himself, and instantly transformed into a gigantic Thor form, crashing down with a deafening roar!
Seeing this, Xiang Yu spread his arms wide, showing no intention of dodging, and said, "Let me test your power as the Thunder God!"
Sizzle sizzle...
The entire sky was engulfed in dazzling lightning!
A moment later, the lightning dissipated, and Enel's golden staff struck Xiang Yu three feet above his head, unable to fall even a fraction of a second.
Although Enel sensed Xiang Yu's strength, he did not expect him to be this strong. He even suspected that Xiang Yu had eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit and become an insulator.
Sizzle sizzle...
Xiang Yu, his body still crackling with the aftershocks of lightning, said calmly, "Not bad. Two more moves to go."
Enel gasped for breath, slowly retracting his golden staff and placing it in front of Xiang Yu. He needed to catch his breath, and besides, was it necessary to exchange two more blows?
"I can't kill you, but you shouldn't look for other Devil Fruit users. Go back. They've either left this world or they're dead."
"I've heard that if a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit will be reborn, and whoever eats it will become the new user. You don't even know who I'm looking for before you tell me to go back. What kind of logic is that?" Xiang Yu stared into Enel's eyes and said.
Enel sighed, "There are some things I can't tell you, but I'm not lying to you. I'm the only Devil Fruit user left in this world."
"Why? Tell me and I'll guarantee your safety. If you don't, then you'll have to endure my Soul Search." Xiang Yu guessed that the other party was probably afraid of someone, perhaps it was Ron.
In fact, Hao Jiu had already analyzed that, in this plane, who else could be able to collect all the Devil Fruits besides Ron, the host who rewrote the plot?
Devil Fruits can indeed regenerate, but if people collect Devil Fruits but don't eat them, the number of Devil Fruit users in the world will naturally decrease.
There may be other ways to achieve this effect, but it all comes down to Ron.
Moreover, Ron must have some means to monitor or control Enel, preventing him from speaking recklessly, even if the matter itself might not be a big deal to Ron.
Enel scoffed inwardly, "You think you can just guarantee it like that?"
Since Ron rose to power, there are too many people Enel can't beat!
Lightning cannot harm this Feather God, but that does not mean the Feather God is stronger than Ron. Betraying Ron is tantamount to courting death.
Moreover, his relationship with Ron was not hostile; in fact, he valued him highly, otherwise he wouldn't have kept him to guard the house.
However, although Enel didn't know what Soul Search meant, he was sure it was very powerful, and it was very likely a move that would make him wish he were dead, so he didn't dare to try it.
If you can't win and you can't say anything, then there's only one solution left.
That is, escape!
Whoosh!
Enel vanished in an instant—that's the speed of lightning!
"Trying to catch me? No way..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Enel crashed headfirst into a three-foot-high wall of Haki, but he reacted quickly, immediately changing direction and continuing at an even greater speed...
Bang!
Last time I bumped my forehead and got a bump, but this time my face hit it first, and my nose was flattened, and blood was gushing out.
But Enel didn't give up; he wanted to try again.
Sizzle sizzle...
Enel, his body crackling with two hundred million volts of lightning, gripped the golden rod with both hands and charged upwards, accelerating, accelerating!
This time, he will transform his body into elements and break through the encirclement!
However.
Bang!
His golden staff and arm didn't touch anything, but his head slammed into an invisible barrier again, and this time it was spiked!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Enel, his face covered in blood and feeling dizzy, slid down and landed on his golden spaceship.
Thankfully, it wasn't from a fall, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.
"Are you still going to run? Or do you want to use the power of this ship to finish those two moves you didn't finish earlier?" Xiang Yu landed on the ship.
Enel's lips twitched violently. Still running?
Even elemental transformations have failed; this is the first time I've heard of Armament Haki being able to be cast remotely!
It's no wonder Enel broke down. The nemesis of Logia-type Devil Fruit users is Armament Haki. Ordinary attacks can't hit users who have transformed into elements, but they can by covering their bodies or weapons with Armament Haki.
But what just happened just now seems completely illogical, even though Devil Fruits are inherently illogical!
Only now did Enel truly understand the power of Feather God; he was a true god.
How can we run now? We gave up.
Enel rubbed his battered face. "I'm not running away anymore. Feather God is indeed incredibly powerful. I'll tell you everything I know. Come with me, let's go inside the ship and talk."
"Alright." Xiang Yu had just intended to teach Enel a lesson; if he really wanted to kill him, he would have placed a pressure point mat in front of him earlier.
Enel's spaceship was extremely luxurious, with gold being the eternal theme.
"Someone! Bring out wine and food!" Enel intended to cater to their tastes.
"Speak," Xiang Yu said, finding a place to sit down.
“It was Ron, he collected all the Devil Fruits,” Enel said truthfully.
"Why?" Xiang Yu heard Hao Jiu say that under normal circumstances, each person can only eat one Devil Fruit, and a few individuals can eat two. Eating more than that will have no effect.
Enel hesitated for a moment before saying, "I suspect he can increase his strength through a Devil Fruit, but I have no evidence."
"Doesn't that mean he has a lot of Devil Fruit abilities? What are they? Tell me in detail." Xiang Yu frowned. If Ron ate all the Devil Fruits by himself, he would have to find him to record cards again.
If Ron doesn't cooperate, he'll have to be killed, then all the Devil Fruits will be put back in their places, and then someone else will have to be found to obtain the Door-Door Fruit's power. Who knows how long that will take.
Enel shook his head. "He doesn't have the power of a Devil Fruit, but he possesses far more powerful magic. A single strike can destroy the world, and he can even be resurrected after death. Back then, even the strongest Four Emperors and Marine Admirals were no match for him."
The problem is, he doesn't seem to have eaten a single Devil Fruit; he obtained its power through some other method. Furthermore, Devil Fruits processed in this way won't regenerate, and it's unknown whether killing him would allow them to regenerate.
Just then, a row of beautiful dwarfs brought wine and meat.
As Xiang Yu pondered, he picked up his wine cup and took a sip. The taste was unexpectedly mellow and fragrant, but why were all these people so petite and delicate?
Hao Jiu also noticed the problem, his forehead instantly covered in black lines. Enel's height seems to be 2.66 meters...
Xiang Yu, you've had too much to drink!
Chapter 576 CP9
This clone of Xiang Yu unexpectedly grew to 2.8 meters tall, but it was proportionally enlarged, so it looked very strong.
"Relax, being a little taller isn't so bad, as long as you're healthy. If it really gets too much, we can go back and take some more shrinking pills to adjust things," Hao Jiu said guiltily. "Yu Shen should ask Bruno about it as soon as possible."
Xiang Yu thought about it and agreed, so he continued to ask Enel, "Are you sure that, apart from you and those Devil Fruit users who left with Ron, all the Devil Fruits were eaten by Ron?"
Enel pondered for a moment, "No. But it's close. Even if the slightest news about Devil Fruit users spreads from place to place, the Navy will go to hunt them down, and the Devil Fruit users in the Navy have all left this world with Ron."
"Aren't all the admirals superhumans? With them gone, how much fighting power will the navy have left?" Xiang Yu asked doubtfully.
Enel gave a wry smile. "Powerful Devil Fruit users have either been subdued by Ron or have already been killed. The Navy's Rokushiki is sufficient to deal with the new Devil Fruit users."
In addition, Ron left a secret force hidden somewhere, all of whom were very powerful mages. Ron himself was a god-level mage, and his intimidating presence made it impossible for anyone to even think of resisting.
Forgive my bluntness, but even though Feather God is strong, he might not be a match for Ron. No matter who that Devil Fruit user you're looking for is, or how important they are, I advise you to give up.
"I see." During his previous investigation, Xiang Yu discovered that the people of this world possessed a special weapon engraved with magical runes. Ordinary people could wield this weapon with considerable combat power, and could even rival Devil Fruit users.
This may also be one of the main reasons why Devil Fruit users disappeared so quickly, since they were afraid of seawater and seastone after consuming Devil Fruits.
"It's good that Yu Shen understands. Sometimes giving up is the right choice. If you want to find someone else, I might be able to help you." Enel secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he understood.
“When did I say I was going to give up? How can I get that Ron back? I’ll ask him myself,” Xiang Yu said coldly.
Enel shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to contact him either."
"Never mind then, it's alright if we can't find them. Do you know where we can find the whereabouts of the surviving members of CP9?" Xiang Yu asked.
“CP9? That was a World Government intelligence agency from a long time ago. Ron probably wiped it out a long time ago,” Enel guessed.
"Approximately? I need accurate information." Xiang Yu frowned.
"I can't say for sure, after all, I don't know if Ron has caught them or not, but I can be sure that they haven't shown up at all." Enel felt a little uneasy.
"Then I need their detailed information, or you can tell me where I can find their detailed information," Xiang Yu said, staring into Enel's eyes.
“The old world government’s archives might have it. I’ll take you there now,” Enel said, standing up.
"No need. I have someone over there; he can go. If you can't help me this time, then I don't need you anymore," Xiang Yu said coldly.
"Uh, this, it must exist, it must exist." Enel shuddered for no reason. Was he still a prisoner of the Feather God?
Soon, news came from the Shadow System that the information on the CP9 members had been found, but they ultimately betrayed the World Government, defeated the Navy that was pursuing them, and then completely disappeared.
Xiang Yu carefully reviewed the information, then closed his eyes. "You will protect me. I need to focus on finding their whereabouts."
"Alright, please rest assured, Feather God, with me here, no one will be able to disturb you!" Enel thought to himself, could it be that the Feather God can find people just by sitting on the ship? Could this be the power of a god?
Time passed second by second, and Xiang Yu's domineering energy began to spread across the globe. At the same time, based on the appearance and characteristics in the data, he began to investigate and found that the planet where the Pirate King was located was not very large.
Since Ron has been relentlessly hunting down Devil Fruit users, the members of CP9 can't live in crowded places. To avoid capture, they have no choice but to find a deserted place to live in seclusion.
The ocean in the One Piece world is vast, and there are countless islands, including many uninhabited ones.
Therefore, Xiang Yu began to focus his investigations on islands with very few inhabitants, the more secluded the better.
Not long after, Xiang Yu found two old men on an unnamed island. One had an unusually long nose, while the other had a bald pigeon on his shoulder and was wearing a tie!
The overwhelming energy of the entire world instantly converged on the island. In a small village on the island, Xiang Yu finally discovered a burly man with a horn-shaped hairstyle, none other than Bruno!
He's still alive!
Yeah, it's a bit old...
"I'm leaving. You can tell Ron about me. If he comes back quickly enough, I might still have time to fight him." Xiang Yu said, then flashed out of Enel's golden airship. "I've taken all your wine with me."
