Chapter 99: Call to Action and Arrival

Chapter 99: Call to Action and Arrival

_________ POV Narration_________

Enel didn't think much of his day. His training with Robin had already been over, and he was just laying on his bed and looking at a few books, trying to study a bit more about steam engines.

He was somewhat interested in the trains built in Water 7, as they reminded him a lot of his world's trains, but on water, which didn't make much sense to him...

But the world of One Piece was always strange to him, so it wasn't like he expected the logic and even physics of his own world to apply in all places...

Dragon had given him access to their entire library, and it was quite extensive.

Not quite as large as the one in Ohara going by Robin's words, but it was still a lot of information all gathered in one place.

Enel received a few bits and pieces of news regarding the outside world, but he tried to focus on his tasks for a bit.

Dragon seemed rather anxious about the reports he was receiving though.

A Celestial Dragon being moved over to Garp's hometown was certainly something of notice.

As Garp's son, he felt the need to mobilize a few agents nearby, just to observe the situation from a distance.

Enel didn't act when hearing the information though, thinking that the world government was likely announcing that as a way to gloat to the Marine Hero.

Enel assumed they were planning on keeping the village hostage for at least a few months, not nuking it instantly. In the first place, he didn't think they would dare to destroy it.

The World Government would really be playing with fire if they tried that.

That was the hometown of the Marine Hero, Ace, who was a commodore to the Whitebeard pirates, and Dragon, the 'world's greatest criminal' and leader of the Revolutionary Army.

That place also happened to be where Shanks and his crew stopped by a few times and befriended the locals.

Of course, Enel didn't think they'd know about all of that, but at least the parts with Garp and Dragon should've been enough to stop them from attacking.

It was as if they were starting a war. Though the war might've been started the second they tried to imprison Garp...

Enel stopped thinking about the news after a while and concentrated on his light reading material on advanced Thermodynamics.

What Enel didn't expect was to hear a familiar ringtone... Well, it was a snail making ringing sounds with its voice.

Enel had still kept his Transponder Snail, he always carried it at the bottom of his travel bag.

Even after he left the marines, he still kept it. It was still a useful tool. He could also use it to speak to Gan Fall at greater distances, so he always brought it with him.

What he didn't expect when picking up was to hear Akainu's voice.

"Enel! Good thing you picked up, you piece of shit!" It was in an angry tone, as usual. But Enel could tell that Akainu was actually glad he had picked up.

Enel blinked a few times as he wondered why Akainu would even call him. He doubted it was a mandatory health check or to speak about Marine Pension benefits...

"Didn't expect to hear your cheery voice! The hell do you want?" Enel asked as he tilted his head a bit, his tone was a bit amused as he spoke without any filter.

He didn't think he was still considered a friend to the navy, so them contacting him obviously came as a surprise.

Aokiji's situation was a lot different, as it was still him that jumped on their ship.

With Akainu, Enel was half expecting him to find a way to trace the call back to Baltigo and lead a buster call there.

'Even if they decide to attack this place, I'll just sink their ships and suggest a new base for the Revolutionary Army... On the Sky Islands, of course.'

Enel would've liked to have his allies closer to his main base, but he also couldn't just ask them to uproot everything and move to an island in the middle of the sky.

Especially not when their island was already well hidden and devoid of any government agents.

"I just felt the need to let you know... Foosha Village is most likely getting attacked currently, we intercepted a Buster Call request as well... Do what you wish with that information."

Akainu hung up after saying that, making Enel stare at his transponder snail with a startled gaze.

'Seriously? They're actually acting already?!'

Enel quickly got up and walked outside, looking at the sky with a cold gaze.

He quickly spotted Dragon flying towards his home, he seemed to also be sporting quite a grave look in his eyes.

He had clearly received a report from his agents near Foosha Village. He was heading towards Enel's residence, as he knew Enel would reach there fastest.

"ENEL!" Dragon shouted as he the two of them stopped in Midair, Enel's lower body was made of lightning and Dragon was controlling the clouds around him to prop himself up.

"I already got the news! I'm going first, don't worry about it!" Enel then turned into a flash of light.

With a loud burst, a thunderous roar was heard across all of Baltigo as Enel's figure turned into lightning and departed.

But unfortunately for the CP agents, recognizing Enel only meant that they would know what killed them...

The people of Foosha village and the bandits weren't exactly relieved by his presence either, but Momonga released a tired sigh when seeing him descend.

'With him here, everything should be fine... I doubt he would harm Garp's home.'

And so, Momonga finally let himself fall to the ground, dropping his sword to the side as he took a deep breath of air.

None of the agents that had been attacking him took advantage of that though, they had far greater concerns now...

The CP agents looked at the sky with fear, but they didn't wait for death to take them.

They all instinctively knew what to do, as their leaders had already instructed everyone on a way to combat Enel, at least while on land.

"ALL OF YOU! DISPERSE THE CLOUDS! AT LEAST WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE THAT WAY!"

The Agents quickly swiped their weapons and legs at the sky, releasing flying slashes, as many as they could.

Their efforts were shown, as they managed to part the clouds slightly, forming a small hole in the sky.

But it didn't mean much in the end...

"Sango!" (Lightning Flash!) Enel pointed his palm at the ground, and an erratic stream of lightning flowed out of his palm, parting in many ways and extending towards the village almost instantly.

The agents didn't get the time to dodge, as the lightning struck them down one by one.

Not even 5 seconds passed, and the CP agents were already down from 34, which had been all of the agents they had moved into the nearby base(minus the ones Momonga killed), to a measly 4.

The 4 had managed to somehow either hide or use the bodies of others as shields. But Enel didn't even take a second glance at that.

Surviving a casual attack wasn't something that deserved praise in Enel's eyes. The sky discharged some more lighting bolts onto them, creating small pillars of light that killed each of the agents...

Enel then landed near Momonga, who was already sprawled on the ground from exhaustion.

"Enel..." Momonga muttered as Enel turned around.

"Vice Admiral Momonga... You look worse for wear..." Enel said as he grit his teeth a bit.

He hadn't expected to see a marine defending the town, but it seemed that Sengoku and Akainu weren't exactly on good terms with the World Government.

As if that hadn't been made obvious by the fact that Akainu had called him of all people.

'I guess they won't be acting on the Buster Call... Covering it up won't be easy though. They absolutely have spies in their ranks... As well as plenty of world government fanatics...'

"I'm fine... I can still fight if I need to." Momonga said as he shakily got up. Looking at Enel with some confusion.

"Nah... They're all dead or dying now. Pretty sure Akainu stopped a buster call from coming here, so there shouldn't be more enemies."

Momonga sighed a bit when hearing that, wondering how Enel even knew about Akainu's actions. But he decided not to get into that right away.

Instead, he felt as if he was meeting an old acquaintance. A former comrade in arms even.

He may have turned coats and betrayed the marines, but Enel had never actually killed a marine in the war, so there wasn't much resentment on Momonga's part.

"I didn't expect to see you so soon after Marineford... Figured you'd be lying low for a few years." Momonga said with a bloody smile.

"Heh... I'm sure there's plenty to talk about... But let's get your wound looked at first. There's surely a medic in this village."

Enel then looked at Woop Slap, the mayor of the village. The old man was looking up at Enel without any trace of fear, he also didn't seem to be bothered by his injuries.

"Heh... I guess Garp has plenty of friends." The old mayor said as he slowly got up.

"I'll gather everyone. We'll have to leave this place if we want to live." Woop Slap said as he stood up and went over to the middle of the village, quickly calling what remained of the bandits to him.

Their group quickly started gathering as many civilians as possible, and Enel was stuck thinking of ways they could use to escape the island...

There was always the possibility of stealing a ship, but he doubted any of the people present knew how to run a ship beside him and Momonga.

'Seriously... Why did things have to go to shit so quickly?'
