Chapter 255: Conqueror’s Coating, Progress and Setting Off

_________ POV Narration _________

Enel's arm glowed as he closed his fist tightly.

He was wearing a tightly fitting t-shirt, and a pair of short loose pants paired with some metallic boots.

He had stored all of his metals within his earrings and boots, as he wanted his hands free for the training he had been undertaking.

"Huuuh~" Compressed air shot out like a cannon as the emperor exhaled.

He was not using his devil fruit, but Blue Lightning was still constantly rolling off of his hand.

Conqueror's coating was a rather strange concept, hard to grasp, but at the same time, it also felt very basic.

A conqueror would obviously be able to infuse his will into his attacks right?

Those were the basic principles of Armament after all.

But a Conqueror's will was inherently different to that of a regular person. It was grasping that difference that made it difficult for people to actually master it.

Enel had been aiming for it, and training his Haki for longer than Luffy. But he was still struggling with it slightly.

It felt like he was learning to walk for the first time. But he had thankfully already taken his first steps.

The broken rocks and stones around him were the proof of his hard work. The damage to his surroundings was done using nothing other than his Conquror's Haki.

With a smile on his face, he lashed out at his surroundings one more. Blue light sprouted out of his body as his will took the shape of deep blue lightning, which went on to wreck more and more of his surroundings.

His actions immediately raised a thick cloud of dust in his surroundings.

"Tsk, stop playing around you bastard!" An angry voice shouted from the side, Enel then smiled as he heard a booming sound, before all of the dust was blown away, revealing the figure of none other than Wyper.

Currently shirtless and barefoot, wearing a pair of loose pants that were rolled up to his ankles. On his back was his spear, secured tightly by a bunch of leather straps.

The Tribal Warrior had also been training nearby, his progress had been quite staggering in Enel's eyes, but it was still not quite enough to make a difference during the upcoming war.

Despite being almost as talented as Luffy, Wyper lacked one crucial aspect... And that was the fact that he didn't really have a Devil Fruit to grant him the power to alter reality.

He did have a few good points though... Like the fact that his spear, the 'Wild Fang' which Francisco had gifted him, was one of the strongest blades that Enel's army had.

Its quality was on par with Xebec's Saber after all. Both being part of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades.

This meant that, even though he wasn't as strong as the others, he still had a chance at injuring people like the Elders.

The Navy was thankfully able to give Enel and the others a very basic understanding of the strength of a few of the elders.

It wasn't enough to make a proper judgment on how they'd fair against all elders, but at least they learned of the fact that they each had quite powerful awakened devil fruits.

Enel was confident that Wyper was going to prove himself useful one way or another. He was already stronger than Zoro and most of Luffy's crew after all.

Granted, he had also been training earnestly in haki for longer than them and was insanely talented.

"I am not playing around Wyper, I am just celebrating my success." Enel smiled as he spoke, his Will vanishing back into his body.

"Bah, celebrate it a bit quieter! You know, people still live in the islands nearby!"

Wyper shouted while waving his hand dismissively at Enel.

He was also not exactly wrong, Enel's training made a lot of noise in the form of a constant storm underneath their islands.

The Emperor's Haki still affected the world around them. And its effects were only really sensed by those who lived near his training island.

Like Wyper, who had moved somewhat nearby for his own training.

But the clash ultimately ended as Wyper's will faltered.

Enel seemed to feel that and raised an eyebrow, both of them were then pushed back, and Enel's eyes narrowed.

"Odd... You're not one to hesitate usually..." The Emperor muttered as he gripped his staff tighter.

"Shut your trap..." Wyper muttered back, with a bit of spite in his tone.

Enel simply shook his head and narrowed his eyes.

"Fine... But I'm going on the offensive now though..."

Enel didn't even finish that sentence properly, and Wyper had already lost sight of him.

But he wasn't about to let himself get taken by surprise.

Immediately, he spun his spear around at great speeds, forming a circle of flying slashes around him.

"Let's see you getting close now!" Wyper shouted as he continued to spin his Wild Fang around maniacally.

He continued for almost a full minute before he stopped, panting slightly. His spear extended to the side and held by one hand as he was prepared to swing it once again at anything that got too close to him.

But he didn't get that opportunity, unfortunately, as he felt his spear suddenly weighing a bit more than usual.

His eyes then shifted towards the tip of his blade, where the Emperor was simply crouched down and looking at him with a smile.

"Nice defence!"

Was all that Wyper heard before he felt his head being forced to the side, as the tip of Enel's metallic staff hit him square to the cheek.

Enel hopped slightly as he sent Wyper flying further into the distance and crashlanding into a hill, breaking it to pieces and knocking out the Tribal Warrior for good.

Well, he wasn't going to stay down for long. Enel knew how resilient Wyper was. But the spar was essentially over.

'Something odd must've happened during our clash... He seemed to lose his focus all of a sudden. I think it's worth speaking to Francisco about that during the War Tour...'

Enel rolled his stiff shoulders and sighed.

"There's plenty of time left, but the clock is ticking... I guess it's time to set sail, huh..."

Heya, sorry this took so long.

Honestly, it was really hard to write the chapter for Patr_eon cuz it was an important one, basically revealing the One Piece

I had a lot of ideas for the One Piece, I rewrote that chapter twice tbh :)))

Notable ideas for what I wanted to make the One Piece before this:

1. A piece of Nika's soul

2. Nika's spear

3. Just a message left by Nika, something like a secret to mastering his abilities. I decided against this one though, since his abilities are all about imagination, there shouldn't be any guidelines for it

Won't say what it actually is here tho ;) You'll have to read further to find out

anyway, I'mma go to sleep cuz it is pretty late :))

Story Shoutout :
