Chapter 43: SMILE Factory and Flow

Chapter 43: SMILE Factory and Flow

__________ POV Narration__________

Enel did as he had planned, taking out the rest of the officers with ease, most of them he knocked out in the end, as he no longer saw the need to kill them.

He then carried them all in one place, in front of the palace and tied them all up using his seastone laced staff.

Enel could feel that a crowd was already gathered around him, of both pirates and marines, they had managed to reach the palace with the sole purpose of taking down the man that had enslaved them.

"Where is Doflamingo!?!" Asked one of the higher ranking marines that had been turned into a toy. Enel could tell that he was a Commodore.

"I already executed him under orders from our higher-ups," Enel said as he looked around at the crowd. The pirates and the marines were starting to look a bit strangely at each other.

With no common enemy for them to rally against, it was only natural that they'd jump at each other's necks.

But Enel had had just about enough bloodshed for the day.

"The war is over! Everyone can either leave or stay, I don't care." Some of the pirates had wanted to kill a few marines, to let off some steam. But Enel's gaze made them stop.

Most of them had caught glimpses of Enel, zipping across the battlefield and taking out all of the stronger members of Doflamingo's crew.

His presence calmed the situation down a bit. Enel didn't have the time to stay there forever though.

"All of you, behave! Start apprehending the rest of Doflamingo's men that are still alive. Contact the headquarters to come and capture them already." Enel started ordering the marines around without any hesitation.

The pirates that had gathered also started dispersing when talk of the headquarters started. They had been enslaved for years, they mostly didn't feel like going from one prison to another.

After ordering the marines around, much to the displeasure of the Commodore present, Enel simply went to another part of town.

More specifically, the part that currently had the SMILE Factory, a place the Enel decided to destroy, as he didn't think that Dressrosa had any need for it.

Enel could see many dwarves coming out of the building, most likely hearing of the revolt and deciding to finally free themselves from slavery.

Enel didn't care about them much, only waiting for all of them to exit the building before finally deciding to break it properly.

He looked from a distance, not wanting to attract too much attention to himself while destroying the factory, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to do so without using his devil fruit properly.

With a yawn, he pointed his staff at the building, a massive storm cloud circled around in the sky before a massive beam of lightning hit the factory.

It feels odd, as if I am trying to fish for a dragon with a wooden rod. Maybe I should stop betting on things to happen and forge my own way?

But that would destroy any prediction that I could make about the future... Can I even say that I know the future at this point?

I know of some events that will happen, but if my plans are to alter them, then what can I say I truly know?

Maybe I just need to not get caught up in the moment too much.

To avoid drowning in a sea of uncertainty at every step of the way, questioning my actions and fearing how they affect the future I know of.

In the first place... Why exactly was I even sent here?

I've been thinking about it more and more... But was what I gave the Wanderer even considered kindness?

I've never been one to put much value on money. So one could say that I didn't give him anything of value to me, which wouldn't qualify as kindness.

But, in the first place, that God seemed to have no idea what kindness even was... Do humans even have any idea of what kindness is?

Not really... Putting someone out of his misery is kindness, and so is giving someone money and food. It's an odd concept... And that's exactly what that God said too.

Really, why am I even thinking about that god anymore? It's strange, but he didn't seem horribly interested in humanity. So I doubt he'd get in the way of my plans anyway... At least I hope he won't...

Enough of the existential crisis though.

I should stop trying to control everything and go with the flow for now. I've already altered this world a lot, constantly stressing out about the future won't help me anymore.

I'm sure the world has its own plans, and the coming of Joyboy is something that has been prophesized for hundreds of years, my interference and the changes I made in a few months shouldn't even be able to change that.

I don't even have the time to contemplate all of this now, I really should get my coat back, otherwise, the other marines might start acting up thinking I am some type of pirate.

I think I gave the Riku family enough time to catch up anyway. I should start heading there.
