Thunder God Battles the Twin Demons

Enel lowered his eyelids as he appeared above the beach. The air immediately crackled, blue-white currents flashing continuously as the sand began to melt.

The relaxed look vanished from Moon Demon’s face.

The pressure Enel exuded was overwhelming, almost making him feel as though he were facing a Marine Admiral.

Mercenary Tao had been right about one thing: Moon Demon had not killed Hawkeye through his own strength. After Hawkeye had challenged a powerful enemy and suffered severe injuries, Moon Demon had used the Marines and cloudburst bombs to bombard the island where Hawkeye was located, ultimately worsening Hawkeye’s injuries and causing Perona’s death.

Amid the siege of countless reincarnators, Moon Demon had seized Hawkeye’s Drop Card.

With Black Blade: Yoru’s enhancement, her swordsmanship specialization had reached a terrifying Lv10. With nearly every casual swing, she could unleash a Flying Slash. The extraordinary traits gained from both strength and agility breaking past their limits also allowed Moon Demon to unleash slashes capable of splitting mountains.

Yet she still felt that she was far inferior to the Hawkeye from that battle. That gap was not in specialization level, swordsmanship grade, or attributes…

Her instincts as a swordsman were simply incomparable to those of the world’s greatest swordsman. Furthermore, the differences in split-second reactions, resolve, and Haki kept her trapped within the shackles of the Strong-tier.

Whoosh—

Moon Demon opened his mouth, drawing in a massive amount of air. Feeling the numbness across his skin, he knew that this place was already completely dominated by Enel’s Rumble-Rumble Fruit. The next moment, Moon Demon’s figure began to dance wildly.

The godlike speed gained from agility breaking past its limit combined with the full eruption of the dragon power gained from strength breaking past its limit.

In Enel’s eyes, the man wielding the black blade that gave him a sense of danger seemed to grow three heads and six arms, as though he had unleashed slashes in countless different postures in an instant.

Downpour!

Swish swish swish swish…

Countless emerald sword lights erupted before Enel in an instant, blooming like lotus flowers.

Enel’s scalp went numb, his heart tightening slightly. The chilling sensation of death closing in had never been so intense.

Crackle!

Intense lightning flared up. As Moon Demon wielded his peerless sword momentum, he suddenly felt a powerful repulsive force. It did not prevent him from continuing his sword movements; instead, it deflected every single one of his slashes.

Boom!

Amid the scattered sword lights, a flaw appeared at the center of what should have been a perfectly balanced lotus. Seizing that opening, Enel instantly transformed into lightning and shot backward a thousand meters. Once he had opened enough distance, sword lights capable of reaching a thousand meters could no longer threaten Enel as he moved in lightning form.

Moon Demon frowned. He knew that his Haki was ultimately not strong enough and had been affected by the other’s bizarre electromagnetic force. But an idea flashed through his mind. Rather than resisting that force, he followed its pull and scattered all his sword momentum toward the sea.

Swish! Swish!

Several terrifying gashes were instantly carved into the sea, and the sword lights shot straight toward the dragon-headed pirate ship in the inner sea.

Seeing this, Flame Demon grew even more furious. With a roar, he transformed into his Dragon Form, opening his mouth to condense blazing flames over a hundred meters wide before spewing them toward the shore.

The sword lights collided with the dragon flames, producing a terrifying explosion. A powerful shockwave swept in every direction, and dense white mist rose from the seawater.

Flame Demon landed on the ship. The wings on his back had yet to disappear, and with a flap, he dispersed the white mist. Just as he was about to pursue, the reincarnator beside him wearing a half silver mask changed expression and said,

"Flame Demon, leave now. This Enel isn’t easy to deal with!"

In the sky, Enel seemed like the true Thunder God descending upon the world. His entire body was shrouded in Blazing White lightning, making him appear far larger. Even from high in the air, everyone below could feel the terrifying pressure.

Thump, thump…

Moon Demon’s heart began to pound, and he felt waves of stabbing pain. Even the moisture in the air had been completely electrolyzed. That terrifying power, which truly and completely controlled natural elements, was enough to make every creature of flesh and blood tremble.

Enel raised a finger high. Thunderclouds immediately rolled across the sky, changing the expressions of Flame Demon and the others aboard the pirate ship. In the original story, Enel had created thunderclouds using the Ark Maxim. But now, without relying on any external tool, Enel was changing the weather through his own power alone.

Flame Demon’s expression shifted, but he ultimately said,

"Retreat first!"

At the same time, he transformed back into human form and began chanting loudly. Though no one else could understand that ancient language, merely hearing it made them feel as if some power in the air had begun to stir.

Dragon Language Magic

Layers of protective barriers began to appear.

On the beach, Moon Demon also swiftly transformed into an afterimage. The next moment, he had already shot into the sky. The sounds of air being stepped on echoed everywhere, and hundreds of afterimages appeared in the heavens within moments.

Godlike speed was one of the abilities most desired by reincarnators whose agility had broken past its limit. It could grant the already absurd speed of agility-specialized reincarnators an enormous percentage increase, and that increase came with no burden whatsoever.

Moon Demon split into hundreds and thousands of figures in an instant, flying in every direction. He no longer had the mind to care about Mercenary Tao, whom he had just slashed open with another terrifying wound. He now understood that Mercenary Tao had deliberately entangled him here. From the very beginning, the other side had intended to use Enel to attack him and Flame Demon.

60 Million Volts: Thunder Dragon!

Enel pointed downward. Within the gathered thunderclouds, countless Thunder Dragons hundreds of meters long roared as they descended. From the sea, the sight was utterly terrifying.

An entire stretch of ocean was covered by thunderclouds, and Thunder Dragons continuously emerged from them, bombarding the surroundings according to Enel’s will.

"Yahahaha!"

"This is the Power of God!"

"Even evil demons will howl beneath the thunder!"

Enel’s maniacal laughter could be heard clearly even by the Marine Headquarters fleet in the outer sea. Chaton’s expression was grim. He had originally planned to launch an attack today according to the suggestion of that marine soldier from the 51st Branch.

Judging from Enel’s movements, powerful figures of unknown identity had indeed launched an operation near Skuld Island at the same time.

Had the Marines acted earlier, they should have been able to land on the island from the other side of the sea by now.

But Marine Headquarters had rejected that operation plan.

As the legends of Eldorado spread ever more widely, the World Government seemed to have made up its mind. They intended to truly take control of Skuld Island. At this moment, the World Government’s forces were likely already on their way.

The several injured Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals now had a new duty: clear out the surrounding waters and prevent Eldorado from being moved.

Bang bang bang…

Explosions rang out continuously. The pirate ship covered in a fiery red magic barrier became Enel’s primary target. Under the repeated bombardment of Thunder Dragons, the ship’s barrier rapidly dimmed.

Finally, amid Enel’s wild laughter, the pirate ship was blasted apart.

The countless Moon Demon afterimages in the sky were instantly wiped out by an enormous discharge over a wide area. But Enel’s Mantra had locked onto Moon Demon’s true body. After blowing up the pirate ship, the Thunder Dragons began shrieking through the air as they flew toward the high clouds.

Roar roar roar!

Moon Demon’s expression changed as he flew into the sky. A sudden chill ran through his heart, and he instantly gripped his sword horizontally before him.

Clang!

A purple light bullet struck the black blade and split in two. Only then did the sound of the sonic boom explode outward, while the clouds were instantly torn into a V shape.

Moon Demon’s expression darkened. Damn it, that bastard Critical Point had actually set his sights on him?!

On the beach, Bai Cangshu leisurely rose to his feet. He patted his pink robe, shaking off the sand. His injuries had fully recovered. Aside from the loss of vitality and blood, he had paid almost no price in this battle.

Instead, Flame Demon and Moon Demon had both fallen into dangerous circumstances.

Bai Cangshu turned around, and vital signs such as his heartbeat and breathing vanished once more. He deliberately waited for a long time before the strange feeling of being watched finally disappeared.

He guessed that the reincarnator who had blown him apart with a single shot possessed some special ability that allowed him to observe this place from beyond visual range. Moreover, that observation ability was some kind of living entity he could not see!

When his chest had been blown open by that shot, he had not sensed any killing intent locking onto him at all, so he had been unable to evade in advance.

Bai Cangshu could only feel a sensation of being watched.

But after his heart had been blown apart and he fell to the ground, that sensation weakened considerably. He focused his senses and only turned to leave after confirming that the feeling had completely vanished.

Bai Cangshu became an afterimage, returning from the beach to the town in an instant. Without slowing down, he headed toward the temple as though no one else existed.

"Hey, Moon Demon, Flame Demon, try harder. Give Enel a lesson."
