Chapter 15: Jaya: The Island of Pirates

_________ POV Enel_________

Now, there is also an issue I need to address... How exactly do I join the marines anyway?

I know there's some sort of Boot Camp for recruits, but I don't want to go through that. I don't have a few years at my disposal to finish it.

I only have so much until the 'War of the Best'. By that time I need to learn everything that the marines can teach me.

I doubt they'd bring a recruit at Marineford as well.

So I need to make a big move. I need to do something that will grant me a spot as a marine, one that could also erase any suspicion that I need to start as a recruit.

Thankfully, right below Skypea, there lies a treasure trove. A place where I can run wild with no consequence, and there is also a marine base in somewhat close proximity.

Jaya is an island ruled by pirates, people that believe in the 'New age' of pirates. Misguided fools that only leave their home islands in search of treasure and women.

I've already managed to design a smaller flying ship that can use my Devil Fruit as a fuel source. It wasn't exactly hard to do since the engine in old Enel's big ship was rather ingenious.

It wasn't too difficult to create a miniature version that can carry a much easier load without any trouble.

Now, here's the kicker, I haven't actually built this manually. I simply compressed more gold into my staff, turning it into a stable 3-ton staff, when I need the ship, I can just rebuild it out of memory.

It was a bit difficult at first, I also made some mistakes, but right now I can consistently create my golden flying ship using my staff.

Another thing I need to do... Learn how not to stand out too much. I am about to do something that will definitely put me on the map for the Marines to recruit, but I don't want to rise through the ranks too fast.

I've decided to somewhat change my image a bit. I turned my golden bracers into rings, and I cut out the drum-like accessories on my back, leaving it empty.

Now, I just look like a blonde businessman with golden rings and long earlobes. I think I enjoy this look a bit better.

The drums fit my powers really well, but I don't want to use my powers much while in the marines, so they aren't needed much and would likely just cause confusion to others.

It's better to look as inconspicuous as possible, even if my actions are going to be anything but that...

Now that the preparations are done and I also have the eternal pose for Skypea... I am ready to set off.

_________ POV Narration _________

Enel touched his staff as he arranged the collar to his suit. In a second, part of the staff seemed to unravel and create what looked to be a small golden rowboat with two large fans at the back of it.

The rowboat only had one seat, and it looked as if tubes were connecting said seat with the two engines of the ship.

To the side of the ship formed two aeroplane wings, and underneath the rowboat appeared a set of small golden wheels.

Enel had given the ship more of a modern design, taking inspiration from the aerodynamic design of the aeroplanes of his old world.

The engines seemed to start as soon as Enel sat down, the fans at the back started spinning at breakneck speeds and propelling the boat forward.

With a bit of a running start, the boat soon took to flying. Enel looked at the sky islands from above for a second. The sun shone over the clouds as he made his way further away from the islands...

It was a beautiful sight, unlike anything he had ever seen in his life. Enel decided not to dwell for too long on it, only taking the moment in for a few seconds.

Then, he nosedived into the sea of clouds below him. With a smile and a blink of his eyes, just as he was about to hit the sea of clouds head-on, he raised his hand.

The pirates that were rushing Enel quickly started being impaled by his golden staff.

Those that were impaled were then swung around like ragdolls and thrown into the others. The situation quickly turned to anarchy, as the pirates started cowering and trying to run away.

But Enel didn't let even a single one of them leave. Using his speed, he managed to arrive on the other side of the large group of pirates, they were no longer encircling him, now he was simply blocking their escape.

More and more pirates fell, their desperate strikes toward Enel did nothing, as golden tentacles either blocked the bullets or swords that came his way.

Bellamy looked on in horror as the number of pirates on the island dwindled by the second.

The island had mainly been occupied by pirates, now out of the thousand that had waited on the shore for the golden ship to land, only a few hundred were still standing.

And all of them were doing their best to run away wherever they could. To no avail, Enel was not allowing them to run, even the ones that tried to hide behind buildings got pierced by the golden tendrils.

Bellamy sweated heavily as he realised that Enel was easily able to see all of them, even through walls.

In a moment of desperation, he turned his legs into springs and jumped in action. He was somehow able to bypass the expanded staff with his speed after building enough momentum.

He was at Enel's side before he knew it.

Bellamy smiled a bit at his small accomplishment, then his pride turned into horror as he realized one thing... Enel's gaze was on him.

He quickly turned his arm into a spring, starting the motion to punch Enel with all of his strength. Then he noticed it... Enel was wearing golden rings on his fingers.

In an instant, he was stabbed through all of his limbs as Enel just raised his arm towards him.

Then, as Bellamy was reeling back from the pain, he was kicked in the head and sent flying back into the crowd of pirates.

'This should show them that getting close to me also won't work...' Enel had let Bellamy get close to him on purpose, he knew that the blonde pirate was the strongest pirate currently on the island, so he wanted to make an example out of him.

A few more minutes of bloodshed passed, as the last of the pirates fell to the ground and Enel's staff returned to its original shape.

"I still need some practice... That took way longer than it should've." Enel said to nobody in particular.

Sure, he could've finished everything instantly using his devil fruit, but how could he get stronger if he only relied on one aspect of his powers?

He needed to expand his arsenal, which was why he wanted to learn the six powers as well as armament haki.

With a sigh, he realised that he now had to call the marines to the island, they would need to come with an entire fleet to carry all of the surviving pirates to impel down and all of the corpses to the morgue, or wherever they wanted really.

Then he felt it... A figure in the distance, swiftly approaching the island.

Enel could easily see who it was.

A tanned, yellow-haired man wearing a white shirt, a frilly pink coat and a pair of sunglasses... A flamboyant and easily recognizable look, especially for a fan of One Piece.

"Donquixote Doflamingo... I forgot about him."
