Chapter 90 Enel vs. Moria!
The door was ajar, letting in a dim, yellowish light.
Enel stood in front of the door, arms crossed, glanced at the skeleton, and then kicked the door open without any politeness!
"Bang!"
The two doors slammed open and hit the wall with a loud thud.
Behind the door, a dark hall came into view.
The hall was over thirty meters high, with a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the dome, inside which flickered a ghostly blue flame. The flame shimmered, casting the entire hall in an alternating light and shadow.
At the far end of the hall, a huge figure leaned back in a chair, holding a massive pair of scissors in his hand, his purple lips parted to reveal jagged teeth.
"Hehehehehe!!"
Amidst chilling laughter, Moonlight Moria emerged from the shadows.
Enel stood at the doorway, looking at the enormous figure.
Moria also looked at Enel, and the two stared at each other for a few seconds.
"So you're the one who defeated my zombie subordinate?" Moria's dangerous gaze swept across Enel's face.
Enel showed no fear: "So what if I am, Onion Head?"
Enel easily recognized Moria's identity from that face that was exactly the same as the wanted poster.
That's right, it was the enemy Norton had him defeat. Given that, there's almost nothing left to think about.
Just defeat the opponent.
Moria narrowed his eyes, a terrifying smile spreading across his face as he faced the uninvited guests who had intruded into his headquarters.
"Hehehehe! You've defeated so many zombies, so you'll make up for it with your shadow!"
The giant scissors drew an arc in the air, and Moria suddenly raised his hand and struck out with lightning speed!
"Kagekiri!"
The shadow beneath Enel's feet suddenly came to life, as if it had its own consciousness. It contracted and twisted violently, then flew towards Moria's direction.
Upon seeing this, Enel's pupils contracted slightly.
"Oh? A silhouette?"
Faced with this strange ability, Enel did not move, but when his shadow flew three meters, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Moriah was taken aback.
Enel grinned, raised his hand, and a cluster of golden arcs of electricity danced at his fingertips.
"I forgot to tell you, Onion Head, I am Thunder! Thunder's speed is the speed of light!"
The moment the words left his lips, a burst of electricity shot from Enel's fingertips, striking the shadow flying in mid-air.
The shadow was struck by lightning, and normally it shouldn't react. But suddenly, the shadow twisted, like a living thing struck by lightning, and abruptly shrank back to Enel's feet.
Moriah's eyes narrowed again.
"Nature-based?"
"So you finally figured it out?" Enel tilted his head, his words dripping with sarcasm. "I thought the Seven Warlords of the Sea were so powerful, but they're just a bunch of trash who can't even use Haki."
When mocked so closely, Moria's perpetually smug smile twitched involuntarily.
"What did you say?!" Moria roared furiously, his arms outstretched, fingers spread wide. "Shadow Box!"
The moment Moria uttered those words, countless shadows on the walls around the hall came to life simultaneously!
The shadows peeled off the wall, like a black tide, surging towards Enel.
They converged, stacked, and compressed, eventually forming a giant black cube that sealed Enel inside!
Inside the projector box was endless darkness.
There was no light, no sound, and no sense of direction. Only thick, ink-like darkness pressed in from all sides.
Moria stood outside the screen, catching his breath.
"Hehehehe—" Moria chuckled wickedly, "Now you're behaving yourself, aren't you? Once the shadow box flattens you, your shadow will—"
Before Moria could finish speaking, the camera exploded with a "boom"!
Countless golden bolts of lightning pierced the darkness from within, tearing the enormous black cube to pieces. The fragments scattered in the air, transforming into countless tiny black shadows before vanishing.
At the epicenter of the explosion, Enel was covered in lightning, his hair stood on end, and the taiko drums behind him blared incessantly.
The lightning bolts danced across his body like living things, enveloping him in a dazzling golden sphere of light.
"That's it?" Enel said disdainfully.
Moriah's smile suddenly froze.
The camera box couldn't even trap this electric shock kid?
Having spent too long in the Devil's Triangle, Moria had almost forgotten what defeat felt like, and his zombie subordinates could always be replenished no matter how many died.
The advantageous terrain further solidified Moria's position as the ruler of this dark sea.
However, now, the abilities that the enslaved zombies rely on are no longer effective!
Enel raised his hand and unleashed a 30 million volt Thunderbird, interrupting Moria's thoughts.
A giant golden bird burst forth from his palm and crashed directly into Moria's massive body.
Moria tried to dodge, but his body was too large and his speed too slow. He couldn't avoid it in time, and the Thunderbird slammed into his chest at incredible speed, exploding with a deafening roar!
With a crack of thunder, Moria fell backward, his chest charred black, wisps of black smoke billowing from it.
Enel withdrew his hand and clicked his tongue.
"So weak."
Does someone of this caliber deserve to be called a Shichibukai?
Qinghai... is nothing special. I thought everyone was a monster like Norton and Steelhand.
"weak----?"
A deep, hoarse voice came from the smoke and dust, completely different from the previous shrill laughter. Moria stood up from the ruins, the charred skin on his chest still smoking, but his eyes became even more terrifying, as if red light was coming out of his pupils.
You're saying I'm weak?
Enel blinked his long-lashed eyes: "Isn't that right?"
Moria took a deep breath, as if trying to squeeze his anger out of his chest, and then burst into a fierce roar.
Something began to cover the giant hand!
A jet-black, metallic black color spread from the back of Moria's hand, enveloping his fingers, wrist, and forearm.
It wasn't the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, but Armament Haki!
Enel was somewhat surprised. He had thought this onion-headed guy was just a good-for-nothing, but he hadn't expected that the other party also possessed the power of Haki...
Moria clenched his fist, the fist covered in Armament Haki, which gleamed with a cold, hard luster under the eerie blue ghost fire.
"I—" Moria said, enunciating each word clearly, "Back when I was adventuring on the Grand Line, a brat like you was probably still suckling at home!!"
Moria strode toward Enel, each step heavier than the last, the oppressive feeling like an invisible wall pushing toward Enel!
But Enel did not retreat, remaining dignified and fearless, though he slightly reduced the arrogance on his face.
"Shadow Spear!"
Moria's shadow came to life once more. But this time, the shadow was no longer ethereal; it was covered in the same black layer—Armament Haki.
The black shadow spear shot out from the ground, its speed more than ten times faster than before!
The same applies to its power.
Enel's expression hardened slightly, and his body instantly transformed into elemental form!
But his reaction was a moment too slow, or rather, the speed of the Shadow Spear was too fast. The speed from before to now was too great, and Enel couldn't adapt to it all at once.
This caused the spear tip to graz his shoulder, splattering blood!
Enel's body reformed ten meters away, and he looked down at his shoulder.
There was a wound there, not deep, but the blood was so glaring. He looked up at Moria.
"you----"
"Hehehe!! That's Haki!" Moria laughed. "To be able to encounter a Logia-type physical Armament Haki! Thanks to you, Electabuzz, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find this power that once belonged to me!"
Enel raised his hand, wiped the blood off his shoulder, looked at the blood, and remained silent for two seconds.
The various experiences I've had during this period have flashed before my eyes like fleeting shadows.
"very good."
"I originally thought you were a good-for-nothing and could be easily dismissed."
"I never expected you to make this god bleed!"
Enel spread his arms, and the taiko drum on his back began to roar. With each roar, the electric arcs on Enel's body surged by one point!
Golden lightning surged from his body, no longer the simple bright gold of before, but with a faint black texture, like gold mixed with ink.
Moriah's smile froze for a moment.
"You think you're the only one who knows how to be domineering?" Enel grinned, a smile containing the arrogance of a sky island god, but even more so something purer and more excited. "I can do it too! Although I just learned it not long ago, it'll be enough to deal with you."
He raised his hand, and the black shadow on the dancing arcs of electricity at his fingertips grew increasingly clear.
—That's enough!
"Sixty Million Volts Thunder Dragon - Armor!"
A roaring thunder dragon burst forth from the palm!
It was no longer a dragon purely composed of lightning, but a more solid and dangerous monster covered in a layer of black sheen. The dragon's body writhed in mid-air, and wherever it passed, the air was ionized and emitted a pungent, acrid smell.
Moria's pupils contracted sharply, and he crossed his arms in front of his chest, his entire body covered in Armament Haki.
The Thunder Dragon crashed into him and exploded, golden arcs of electricity mixed with black fragments of Haki scattering in all directions. Moria's massive body slid backward for more than ten meters, his feet carving two deep trenches in the ground.
The Armament Haki on his arms was blasted open, revealing the charred skin underneath.
"Hehehehe—" Moria panted, looking at the cracks on his arms, "Interesting—really interesting—a Logia-type brat has actually learned Haki—"
He lowered his arms and opened his hands again.
"Then I'll show you what a true Shadow Ruler is!"
On the walls surrounding the hall, countless shadows came to life once more. But this time, instead of coalescing into a shadow box, they enveloped Moria himself.
Those shadows, like layers of black armor, enveloped his massive body, and then Armament Haki covered them—a deeper black sheen emerged from the jet-black armor.
"Shadow Warrior - Armed Form!"
Moria roared and charged at Enel.
Its enormous body, shrouded in shadow and imposing double armor, resembled a mobile black fortress. With each step it took, a crack appeared in the ground.
Enel did not retreat, but instead clasped his hands together, and lightning erupted from his entire body at the same time!
"A billion volts of Thor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Enel transformed into a ten-meter-tall thunder giant, his entire body covered in golden lightning, with black, domineering luster flowing across the lightning facets.
That is no longer a simple elementalization, but a form that combines Haki and Devil Fruit abilities to the extreme!
Thor and Shadow Warrior collided in the center of the hall, the shockwave spreading outwards, the crystal chandelier on the dome shattered, countless cracks appeared on the walls, and the ground collapsed into a crater more than ten meters in diameter!
Moria's fist slammed into Thor's chest, Armament Haki piercing through the lightning, leaving a charred fist mark.
Thor's hand slammed onto Moria's shoulder, unleashing a burst of imposing lightning that tore a large chunk off his Shadow Armor.
The two retreated at the same time, then rushed forward at the same time.
boom!
Boom!
boom!
A clash of fists.
The clash between the Shadow Spear and the Thunder Dragon.
Armament Haki biting against each other.
Moria's fighting style is pure brute force.
With his massive size and overwhelming aura, every attack he made seemed designed to smash Enel into mincemeat.
Enel's fighting style is characterized by extreme speed and penetrating power.
Using the speed advantage of lightning, he darted around Moria at high speed, aiming each strike at the gaps in his armor.
But Moria's Observation Haki was also awakening. Those forgotten fighting instincts were gradually forced out in this life-or-death struggle. He began to be able to predict Enel's attack trajectory and block his evasion routes with his Shadow Spear.
The fighting continues.
five minutes.
ten minutes.
As time passed, wounds began to appear on both of their bodies. Moria's Shadow Armor was torn to shreds, revealing his bloodied body beneath. Enel's Thunder God form also became unstable, sometimes flickering suddenly, almost collapsing.
But no one backed down.
Moriah, panting heavily, stared at the little brat whose body was crackling with electricity.
He recalled his battle with Kaido many years ago in the New World.
"—Kid," Moria said in a hoarse voice, "What's your name?"
Enel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "God of the Sky Islands!"
"God of the Sky Islands—" Moria repeated, "Alright! I've got it!"
He took a deep breath, opened his arms, and squeezed out every last bit of strength.
The shadow surged out from beneath his feet, swallowing him whole. His body began to twist and shrink, slowly being engulfed by his own shadow.
Enel's pupils contracted as he sensed Moria's aura surging, compressing, and converging towards a single point.
Enel took a deep breath, squeezing out all his power. Lightning surged from his body, covering his entire form, and Armament Haki enveloped the lightning facets...
The lightning grew brighter and brighter, until it became so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
"Come on!!!" Enel roared.
"They're here!!!" Moria roared.
Shadow and lightning erupt simultaneously!
Moria's body burst out of the shadows, enveloped in the purest, darkest Haki, like a black meteor crashing towards Enel!
Enel thrust his right hand forward, and the extremely compressed lightning bolt in his palm shot out!
"Divine Judgment - Final Form!"
"Shadow Warrior - Final Strike!"
Thunder and shadow met in mid-air.
No sound.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
"Boom!!"
The entire hall exploded! The shockwave tore apart the dome, blew away all the remaining will-o'-the-wisps and chandeliers, collapsed the walls, and caused the ground to cave in, with countless rubble and debris flying in all directions.
Golden lightning and black shadow fragments intertwined, soaring into the sky, tearing through the thick fog, and illuminating the entire sky.
In the distance, pirates from all over the island looked up and saw the pillar of light that stretched to the heavens and the earth.
"What is that—"
"Enel—that long-eared one—"
