Chapter 265: Enel vs. Diamond Jozu
Enel stared at him coldly.
Boom!
An explosion rang out beneath his feet as his body vanished in an instant, leaving behind a massive crater in the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Enel appeared in front of Diamond Jozu, his small fist smashing forward.
Jozu's diamond fist shot out as well.
One large fist and one small fist collided, and space itself seemed to freeze at that moment.
Immediately afterward, a blinding beam of light shot straight into the sky, forcing everyone to shut their eyes.
At the same time, a terrifying explosive shockwave swept outward.
Enel was blown straight back by the shockwave and slammed heavily into the ground.
The center of the battlefield was shrouded in a surging cloud of dust, but within it, Jozu's gleaming figure could be vaguely seen.
"Kid, I told you—you're not good enough!"
As the dust settled, Jozu's figure emerged.
That level of explosion hadn't injured him in the slightest.
In the distance, Enel stood up. Without a word, his figure vanished again as he charged toward Jozu.
Meanwhile, Jozu remained standing in place, not moving at all—utterly confident in his defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
A series of explosions rang out.
Enel was seen relentlessly bombarding Jozu, blasting him from every direction, each explosion growing stronger than the last.
The clearing several hundred meters wide had been blown into a massive circular crater. Members of both pirate crews stood on opposite edges of the pit, while the explosions below continued nonstop.
One hour later.
A terrifying aura suddenly began to gather from within the deep crater.
"Oh no—Enel's about to use his ultimate move!"
Buck and the others' expressions changed as they all turned to look at the captain.
"Let him use it,"
Jiang Qize said with a smile as he watched.
Enel's ultimate move wouldn't kill anyone—at most, it would just leave them bedridden for a while.
The Whitebeard Pirates, sensing this overwhelming aura, were all astonished.
They hadn't expected such an attack presence to come from such a small child.
Below, a terrifying heat surged upward, and the sky began to change color.
Then, a dazzling pillar of light shot straight into the heavens.
Boom—!!
An apocalyptic wave of heat erupted, sweeping across the land.
Wherever this scorching wave passed, everything turned to ash. The ground was burned dry and blackened.
The clouds in the sky were blasted apart.
This heat wave enveloped a thousand-meter radius, swallowing up everyone from both pirate crews.
Several minutes later, the heat finally began to subside.
Thump… thump… thump…
The ground trembled slightly as a towering figure emerged from the giant crater.
It was Jozu.
At this moment, even Jozu looked battered. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and a chunk of diamond had actually been blown off his body.
"Among your pirate crew, this kid has the most guts."
Jozu walked up to the Dragon Flame Pirates, glanced at the Enel in his arms, then spoke to Camon, Buck, and the others.
By now, Enel had completely exhausted himself and was unconscious.
After saying that, Jozu placed Enel on the ground and turned to walk back.
"Aisa, take Enel back,"
Jiang Qize said softly.
"Yes!" Aisa replied, then picked up Enel and carried him back toward the Dragon Flame.
...
One day later.
Morning on the open sea.
The Moby Dick sailed across the ocean.
"Gurararara… A new day's begun. Aren't you all happy?"
Whitebeard laughed heartily as he looked at his sons.
"Dad, why is there such a huge gap between us and a brand-new pirate crew?"
Marco asked in a somewhat dejected tone.
Yesterday, he had fought a fierce battle against Devourer camon, yet it had ended in a draw.
But he had followed his father for so many years—so why was his strength only on par with a pirate who had been at sea for just one year?
Did that mean his talent was poor?
He couldn't help but question himself.
