Chapter 8: Results and Arrival

Chapter 8: Results and Arrival

_________ POV Enel_________

Three months.

I spent three months going through the motions of training and constantly studying those poneglyphs.

I ended up doing what I could for training, Gold turned out to be a good thing to use for weights, so I asked Gan Fall to give me some more.

I also got started on building a mall ship using the old Enel's design. I plan to make it entirely out of gold, memorize its structure and form it at any time I need.

This is so that I can turn it into a weapon of sorts if needed. Being able to mould conductive metals with my electricity is a really great boon for my fruit, something that I might've underestimated at first.

I've made what I call a 'deceptive weapon'.

I managed to condense a lot of gold within my staff, that way I'm able to constantly expand and retract it, taking enemies by surprise with constant changes in the reach of my weapons.

It should be noted that I obviously didn't have any formal training in using weapons in my past life, I only did some MMA. Thankfully Enel's memories did provide me with some experience using the staff, as he was apparently considered adept at it.

I've managed to easily combine that with my ideas and create a new style. One based on both speed and sharpness.

It wasn't hard since staves, spears and tridents are extremely similar in wielding style. It needs some work but it's still a great improvement to just bludgeoning people with a golden bat, as Enel did before.

My progress is also easy to see, as I grew stronger with each day. People in this world are simply built differently by the looks of it.

Enel was also an inherently talented individual, he wasted that talent by disregarding his training. But he was still absurdly strong despite not having trained at all his entire life after getting a devil fruit.

I was now able to make noticeable progress, constantly having to change weights and ask Gan Fall for some more gold.

The stronger I get, the more gold I can condense inside my staff, making my style more and more effective. The more weight my weapon has, the more damage it will do as well.

It's a bit difficult to tell, but my staff should be weighing at least a ton by now. And this is a weight I can move comfortably around with.

To the point where I can barely feel it.

I could condense even more metals into my staff, but I do need to be flexible at all times for my fighting style, so this is ideal currently.

My body hasn't changed all that much, but my muscles do look a bit more well-defined.

At some point Wyper also joined me in my training, he is quite formidable by this island's standards as well. It was fun to finally have a sparring partner.

Although it is a bit hard to control my earlobes, I can't seem to do it consistently in fact...

Now that I think about it... The Rokushiki of the marines that the CP9 were using allowed one to have complete control over their entire bodies... So learning those techniques might actually benefit me greatly.

If I remember correctly, Seimei Kikan was the stage where one had absolute mastery over their body. I think I need to master all of the six techniques to reach that stage... Or at least gain some semblance of mastery over them.

Either that or simply master Kami-e to perfection. I can't seem to recall, but I will eventually learn all 6 techniques anyway, as they are all great ways to get stronger.

Besides that, there are dozens of combinations that I can think of using my devil fruit and the six powers. Tekkai might also be a good start in learning armament haki...

Regardless, the more time I spend in this body the more attacks and methods of fighting I come up with. It seems that devil fruits do indeed reward creativity.

*Ring ring ring*

I find this sound to be rather annoying, but the thing making this sound can't be any less interesting. Transponder Snails are an odd piece of technology... If you can even call it that.

The only people that have my number are Wyper and Gan Fall, so I don't have to guess who would be calling me.

"Hello there! Elongated earlobes speaking" I picked up the phone, I kind of decided for this to be my opening whenever answering a transponder snail.

Figured it's best to have fun with it if I can't change it.

"... Enel, Gan Fall here." I can somehow feel the uncertainty in his voice... I guess some people just can't take jokes all that well.

"Figured~ Wyper would've at least laughed a little at that," I said while twirling the cord on my phone.

"I-I see... I wanted to give you a warning that a group of pirates are approaching the island through the sea of clouds... Just figured it's better to let you know just in case they aren't a friendly bunch..."

Upon hearing that, I couldn't help but smile widely.

"Pirates, huh?"

They're finally here... Straw hats...
