Chapter 540: Docile Devil Fruit User
“Marine Vice Admiral?” Enel looked at the epaulettes on Momousagi’s shoulders and asked with some confusion, “Who are you?”
Following Ian, Enel had learned how to identify the Navy’s ranks. However, having clashed with Admiral Kizaru before, he was a bit puzzled to see that the reinforcements sent by the Navy were only a Vice-Admiral at the moment.
He originally thought there would be another Admiral coming…
“I am Gion, you can call me Vice-Admiral Momousagi!” Momousagi smiled and said, “You seem very confident!”
“Hahaha!” Enel laughed heartily. “Who do you think I am? I am God Enel!”
With Ian absent, Enel’s chuunibyou (eighth grader disorder) was acting up again. He said, “You marine guys shouldn’t have come. Kneel down and pray, maybe I’ll spare your lives!”
However, Momousagi didn’t seem bothered and said nonchalantly, “I can’t agree with that. Because those who think they are invincible due to their Logia power are usually the ones who die the fastest!”
As she spoke, the marine soldiers on the warship also rushed out, wielding guns and swords, surrounding Enel.
“Do you think you can deal with me with this trash?” Enel sneered.
“Well… how about adding Kairoseki bullets?” Momousagi said, waving her hand, and the soldiers surrounding Enel immediately opened fire.
Upon hearing about Kairoseki bullets, Enel was startled. In the moment the Navy soldiers started firing, he instantly teleported away from the ship’s railing, unwilling to confront the attacks with his elemental body.
However, as he appeared on another part of the deck, a sudden fragrant breeze swept in. Momousagi was already wielding her named sword, Konpira, and slashing towards him.
Enel desperately tried to evade, but Momousagi’s swordsmanship was exceptionally exquisite. After a few dodges, Enel’s abdomen was grazed by Momousagi’s blade. The sword was wrapped in Haki, so the cut directly injured Enel’s true form, leaving a long red gash that began to bleed.
In pain, Enel felt a strong aversion to Busoshoku Haki. Fueled by anger, he threw out a Thunderbird with a voltage of thirty million volts. The Thunderbird spread its wings and opened its beak, rushing towards Momousagi.
Facing this astonishing attack, Momousagi remained calm, raising her right hand. Just like before, she caught the Thunderbird with the back of her hand.
This time, Enel finally saw it clearly. There was a faint pink glow on Momousagi’s extended right hand. As the Thunderbird touched this pink glow, its form instantly contracted, transforming into a ball of lightning that stopped on Momousagi’s hand. It flickered for a while, becoming smaller and smaller until it vanished.
“What kind of ability is this!?” Enel was on the verge of going mad. He felt that, apart from the encounter with Admiral Aokiji, everywhere he went lately, he encountered people who could neutralize his Thunderbird.
“Hehe, take a guess!” Momousagi chuckled, not giving him an answer, and continued to slash towards Enel with her sword.
Enel tried to teleport again, avoiding Momousagi’s attacks. However, as soon as he reappeared, a Flying Slash rushed towards his location.
This time, Enel finally realized his predicament and couldn’t help but regret his actions.
While Momousagi couldn’t match his teleportation speed, the issue was that Enel was now fighting her on a navy ship. Though the navy ship was massive, the deck where people could stand was not very wide. Compared to fighting on land, Enel’s teleportation distance was effectively restricted. He couldn’t move onto the sea surface, or he would fall into the water.
Knowing the limitations of Enel’s movements, Momousagi could more easily capture his location through her Kenbunshoku Haki.
Honestly, after facing various formidable opponents, Enel’s confidence in his invincibility was diminishing. In battles, strength alone wasn’t the deciding factor; battlefield conditions and the opponent’s ability restraint played crucial roles in determining victory.
Now, facing Momousagi, he felt constrained, unable to fight with his full capabilities. He hadn’t even figured out her Devil Fruit ability yet.
After dodging the Flying Slash, Momousagi closed in again. Enel evaded left and right, but inadvertently, he was slashed once again.
This can’t go on! I can’t be entangled with this strange woman!
With this thought in mind, Enel shifted his gaze towards the nearby navy ships on the sea, planning to use teleportation to escape onto those ships.
It couldn’t be that those navy ships also had people similar to this strange woman, right? By then, as long as he jumped over, those navy soldiers couldn’t stop him. Even if this strange woman wanted to catch up, she wouldn’t match his speed. He could then engage her in guerrilla warfare.
However, just as Enel was about to activate his ability to teleport, Momousagi seemed to have guessed his intentions. Suddenly, she lifted her right hand!
The two wounds on Enel, where Momousagi’s sword had struck, suddenly emitted a faint pink glow.
Enel was already midway through his teleportation, but at this moment, it was as if he had lost all strength. He dropped from mid-air!
Splash! Enel fell into the sea…
The moment he hit the water, Enel was still dazed. He could sense that his Thunder Devil Fruit ability was still intact, but it suddenly became unresponsive!
As the seawater rushed in, Enel felt his strength fading away. He couldn’t float in the sea, and in a state of panic, he desperately tried to breathe but only ended up choking on seawater, resembling a drowning man.
“Bring him up!” Momousagi sheathed her sword and ordered the navy soldiers.
Soon, navy soldiers capable of swimming jumped into the sea and rescued Enel. However, by the time they pulled him up, Enel was already restrained with SeaStone handcuffs. Coughing, Enel knelt on the deck after being pulled up, soaking wet and in a sorry state. His turban, a casualty of the fall, revealed his explosive hairstyle.
Momousagi couldn’t help but tremble all over, struggling to contain her laughter at the sight of Enel’s explosive hair.
“Darn it, what the heck just happened!” Finally catching his breath, Enel, ignoring his hairstyle issue for now, looked up at Momousagi, gritting his teeth in frustration.
Unwilling to accept it, he had faced Admiral Kizaru before, and now he found himself defeated so quickly by a Vice Admiral. No matter how he thought about it, something felt off.
“Hehe! Unlike your Logia, I possess a Paramecia Devil Fruit!” Momousagi smiled slightly and finally answered him, “But my ability is quite unique. I am a docile Fruit user!”
“docile Fruit?!” Enel looked at Momousagi in confusion, feeling unable to comprehend.
Momousagi walked over to Enel, placed her hand on his shoulder, and a pink glow emerged once again, enveloping Enel’s entire body.
“Feel it?” Momousagi smiled and said, “Do you feel like your body is completely out of your control?”
Although Enel was restrained with SeaStone handcuffs and lacked strength, his body could still move. However, after Momousagi touched him, he felt his muscles stiffening!
“It’s simple; your muscles have been ‘tamed’ by me!” Momousagi removed her hand from Enel’s body, not wanting to keep touching this explosive-haired guy but explained, “As long as it’s within my ability, I can ‘tame’ anything I want, whether it’s a person’s body or energy. I can make them act according to my will. This ability can even spread through intermediaries. As you can see, the reason we arrived so quickly is because I ‘tamed’ the sea currents!”
Enel suddenly realized why the Navy arrived so swiftly; it was this strange woman who manipulated the sea currents to speed them up!
As for why his powers were unresponsive after Momousagi struck him, it turned out that her ability lingered in his body.
“Do you understand now?” Momousagi looked at Enel’s expression and chuckled, “No matter how violent the energy or fierce the attack, in the face of my ability, everything becomes as gentle as a little rabbit. Otherwise, how do you think I got my nickname?”
