Chapter 68 - Accept the lightning

"SHSHSHSHHS" Golden rain coming down from the sky endlessly.

"*Rumble*" A strong lightning, like rifts on the sky, moving between the golden rain striking the black ball on the air.

After hitting the ball. The lower half of the ball disappeared and a white-haired man appeared holding two dark swords on his hand and charged toward the figure that is moving between lightning around the golden rain.

"BOOM" His sword attack was much stronger than usual. With his sword slash, The figure inside the plot of lightning falls down on the ground. But he stood up faster and moved toward the void again.

Seeing the lightning man moving again. The white-haired man disappeared and appeared in front of him again.

But before his sword touch this illusionary figure. The gold rain around him suspended on the air and attacked him from all directions.

"WOOOG" the white-haired man re-completed the dark ball to defend himself.

The lightning man also caught the chance and attacked the white-haired man who appeared in front of him.

"* Rumble *" Not once, nor twice. The lightning was endless. And all of it aiming at the black ball.

If you look it this black ball, you will find its slowly changing color. From the top, the black smoke some time turning into gold, but it will return to black, Then became gold again.

But if you kept looking it at. The golden color is slowly becoming stronger than the black color and more obvious.

"BOOM" Enel returned to the ground with lightning and came to Gild's side while looking at the ball with calm eyes.

He's using his Haki to the limit right now. Because of the gold around, Enel found that his Observation of his surrounding is stronger than usual. And he also felt that he's in danger right now.

"Behind...." Enel suddenly said and a bolt of strong lightning strikes his shadow.

"BOOM" Behind him, or can be said from his shadow. Gray appeared and flew a few meters away.

Without halting even for a second Gray waved his dark winges and flew to the sky and made a big dark shield surrounding him from all directions, similar to the ball he defended himself before.

In fact, this shield only exists to protect him from the golden rain. If the gold touch him, not only will he turn to gold slowly. Enel will also be able to attack him at a very fast speed.

Gray looked at his hand while moving and was able to see many golden spots on his skin.

Even though it was for a second. The rain touched him just for a second and his hand started turning to gold. But soon a dark smoke appeared on his hand and removed the golden effect returning his hand to normal.

This damn gold rain is so annoying. if it wasn't for his ability can protect him from other fruit abilities he will probably be a golden state by now.

"BOFF" From the ground. The golden liquid suddenly raised upward and splashed in front of Gray.

Gray was faster and let go of the dark shield around him and moved to the left side.

While doing this he regenerated another dark shield.

"* Rumble *" But a plot of strong lightning came very fast to his direction and hit him from between the shield that wasn't completed yet.

"BOOM" like a wingless bird. Gray directly falls from the air and hits the golden ocean under him.

As soon as Gray falls down. Dark energy around surrounded him form all directions. Protecting him from the rain and the lightning attacks that following him from all directions.

"* Rumble *" Enel didn't stop and directly attacked Gray's dark shield trying to break it. But Gray's dark energy is so weird. It's so hard to be damaged by their attack. To they need to waste so much energy to penetrate it.

...

Inside the darkness. Gray's body is shaking violently. He used so much energy in this fight and started feel weakness all over his body. Especially while using the damn shield, Enel and Gild continuously attack had wasted so much of his energy.

The darkness he uses is produced from his body. Not like Gild simply controlling the gold around him.

And the quality of darkness is much higher than the lightning energy.

So the prise of using his ability is higher than Enel's ability.

"Have to finish this fight... Can't fight like this anymore" Gray mood is so depressed right now. He really feels wronged!

Why every damn one he wants to fights, suddenly became so strong like this.

Even though they did not become stronger themselves. But their power level became stronger because of random things.

First Moria that noob used his mind and gave his shadow to his strongest zombie. Which gives him big trouble.

And now these two guys are working together and made a very strong machine that can almost rule the world!

Yes, the machine they made is really that strong.

He doesn't think many people in this world can stop Gild with the help of this machine.

After all, not everyone can resist and absorb the gold effect that touches the like Gray.

If his ability didnt somehow resisting other fruit ability. Gray doesn't think he will be alive by now.

"Can only do this..." Gray looked at the black ring on his and thought of something.

"Mr. Gray....." But before he acts, Gray heard a little girl voice coming from his side.

"Huh!" Gray looked beside him.

"....." Gray.

"....." The little girl.

"You simply came in time, Perona!!!" Gray didnt ask a stupid or useless question like how did you come here or why are you here.

He can see that she's in soul/ghost form. So naturally, she can come here and help him without being affected by the golden rain outside.

Gray didnt waste time and told Perona what she should do! With Perona's here, Gray thought of another plan.

"Well...." After telling Perona what she has to do. She nodded her face and entered the ground again.

...

"He's hiding inside his ability" Enel beside Gild said while looking at the shield that Gray made and hid inside.

"He won't be able to resist for too long!" Gild also looked at the dark shield and said with a smile on his face.

"GO" Gild raised his hand and said. With this, all the gold on the ground, air, and even the golden rain charged toward the dark shield where Gray hiding.

With this, the dark shield wasn't able to resist, and slowly turned into gold.

...

Inside the shield, Gray was able to see what is happening outside. His situation is not good at all. This golden liquid is so dangerous, even though his darkness can protect him from turning to gold. But everything has a limit.

His darkness won't be able to absorb all the gold that hit him and stop his body from turning to gold.

Feeling the shield of darkness around him losing against Gild gold power. Gray didn't panic but calmed and prepared for what he's about to do next.

Gray looked at Enel who's beside Gild.

Enel is the problem. He can't move freely around with Enel's lightning attack.

Lightning can move between Gold, let's not say what is raining is golden rain. So even if he withstand not turning to gold for some time. He can't avoid Enel attacks.

And if Enel managed to hit him with lightning. The numbness from the damage he will receive, will slow his operation over his power. And like this, he will turn into gold faster.

All in all. He has to get rid of Enel first.

But things are not so easy, Even after defeating Enel, Gray can see that Gild is getting stronger and stronger every minute. Apparently the more gold around the stronger he is.

So Gray thought of another plan.

Since he can't elude Enel lightning ...Then simply accept the lightning!

....

"WOGGGG" The dark shield wasn't able to withstand the gold invading. And soon it turned into a golden ball.

"Hhahahaahaha, What if you are strong! Under this power! Under GOD power you can't fight against me! HAHAHHAHAHAH" Gild laughed like a maniac when he saw the darkness that covered Gray turned to gold completely.

Enel beside him also smiled. But his mind wasn't smiling at all.

In fact, he was somehow not satisfied with Gild being at the same level as him. The reason why he accepted to work with him from the beginning because Gild's ability was useful for him to upgrade the ship.

But he never expected he will be able to change the world like this! This is simply so strong!

"This man..." Enel looked at Gild with dangerous eyes.

"Hmm?" Suddenly as if he felt something. Enel looked behind him.

Not only him. Gild also looked Back.

"Hrahrahra" From the ground a smiling ghost came out and rushed directly to Enel.

"WHAT!"X2 The ghost is formless. It's something made of Perona's spiritual energy, It was already good enough that they felt it. It's not easy to notice them with Observation Haki.

But.... it was already too late for them to notice.

The ghost directly penetrated Enel, while another big one penetrated the golden shield around Gild and exploded.

"BOOM" The explosion was so sudden that forced Gild to jump back a few meters away.

While Enel already kneeled on his knees and said; "I'm so weak as a god... What lightning god? ... I want to reborn as slug god..."

"...." Gild who came from the explosion smoke almost fall down.

Brother! What the hell is Slug god? That is so low!

"No! Enel behind you!!!!" Gild who was still on confusion suddenly notice Gray who's coming out from Enel's shadow and screamed.

"Too Late" Gray smiled and said. Then with his hand, he seized Enel's shadow on the ground and pulled hard.

"WOOG" Enel's shadow was forcibly separated from his body.

"WOH" Gild action was fast and directly attacked Gray.

And Gray naturally dodged his attacks and made a new wing and flew away. While creating another shield to protect himself from the golden rain.

"Enel ?! what's wrong ?!" Gild came to Enel's side and found that he has completely lost consciousness.

"Unconsciousness? What did you do!" Gild saw this and looked at Gray who's half body turned to gold on the process of stealing Enel's shadow.

Gray didnt answer him and looked at Enel's shadow on his hand and smiled.

Then the shadow reduced in size and soon it transformed into a small pall on Gray hand.

"GHOM" Gray raised his hand and swallowed the dark pill that was Enel's shadow, to begin with.

"GOM...GOM...GOM" Suddenly Gray's heart started beating loud.

"DIE! GRAYYY" Gild didn't want to see Gray do what he's planning to do. So he controlled the golden ocean around him and attacked Gray with all that he has.

"GOM...GOM....GOM..GOM.GOM" Gray heart pounded faster and faster.

"WOGG" The gold ocean directly swallowed Gray on the air and surrounded him.

"GRAY!!!" Perona who was hiding not far away. Saw Gray trapped by gold panicked and wanted to help.

But she can't really touch anything with her ghost form. So she tried to attack Gild.

But her ghosts couldn't penetrate the gold around him. Gild naturally became more careful.

He can create armor that can strengthen the wearer. So naturally, he can powerup the gold around him to resist Perona's ghosts. He was already attacked once. So he naturally won't allow himself to be attacked by ghosts again.

"What should I do!!!" Perona is really worried right now!

She did what Gray told her to do. But now Gray is washed by gold! He probably turned to gold like everything else right now!

"EHAAAAA, Stupid Gray! You can't lose like this! Or we will die also die after you!" She lost hermind and screamed her real thoughts...It turned out that this little girl is worried about herself. Not about the fact that Gray who might be dead...

"GOM...GOM...GOM" But both Gild and Perona suddenly heard a deep and loud heart beating from the golden ball that is getting bigger and bigger around Gray sealing him inside.

"Who said I will lose?...

...
