Chapter 281: Bubble, Severance and True Form

__________ POV Narration __________ Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

The Three Gods faced off in spectacular fashion, each of their casual attacks enough to kill anyone from below if hit directly.

They were all well aware that the winner of their battle was going to be the winner of the war as well. No matter how injured each side would end up, they'd still be able to crush the opposing army.

Luffy and Enel were both starting to get frustrated with the lack of effects their attacks were showcasing.

The Sun God's incarnation had already tried plenty of things, including his reality-bending powers, turning IMU into a trampoline with a fist sinking into his gut.

Enel had also tried several ways to damage the Sea God, but each time IMU's body would just regenerate.

All until Enel decided to use the wheel on his back to bisect IMU, with Luffy also using his reality-bending ability to prevent the man from easily recovering.

And this time, IMU had genuinely bled. It was the very first time Enel and Luffy managed to injure IMU.

And it seemed to be fatal, for all of 3 seconds, before IMU's torso grew red tendrils and immediately pulled the cut-off parts back together.

"The two of you are growing more and more tiresome..."

IMU's voice this time sounded different, no longer fluid, just beastly.

In an instant, Enel felt himself choke. All of the humidity around them was extracted from the air, forming a large water bubble which encapsulated both the Sun and Lightning Gods.

Luffy choked for only a second before he seemed to grow fins and started swimming towards IMU, whose body also seemed to be within the water.

At that point, the usual weakness of a devil fruit user hadn't applied, as the water was not stagnant. And before IMU managed to do that Enel immediately filled it with his lightning, fighting for control over it with him.

Unfortunately, however, it seemed that IMU's authority over the seas superseded Enel's control, as the water was still slowly becoming stagnant.

Luffy's body immediately started exuding heat underwater when noticing that, the flames within his hair and around his body flaring up and evaporating the water around him, forcing it to stay moving.

Enel did very much the same, evaporating water at such speeds that the bubble was bound to soon run out of water.

At least it would have, but IMU manipulated even the water from the steam caused by them, forcing it to rejoin the bubble.

'Shit... He's essentially forcing us to fight in his territory...' Enel couldn't help but scowl at that thought.

He and Luffy could both hold their breath for a long time. Hell, Luffy seemed to be able to just breathe underwater thanks to his mastered reality-bending abilities.

It seemed that he barely had any limitations when it came to altering his own body whilst in his awakened form.

But Enel was not quite as lucky, he had the option of getting out of the bubble in the blink of an eye with his speed, but that would also put him at a large range, and it seemed that attacks for a distance were quite ineffective.

The form that the Sea God took was something that Enel was strangely familiar with. Something that he had seen, something that he had hoped to never see again.

A mass of tentacles, red eyes forming all over the skies around them, a mouth of flesh-tearing teeth, sharpened to the most dangerous degree.

It was strangely resembling something that Enel had seen in his dreams. The outsider god that the original Raijin had expelled out of the world, or rather, that the wheel of fate had crushed for interfering.

'Don't tell me he actually had tried to influence this world in the past before...' Enel scowled at the mere thought of that, but it didn't seem impossible as a concept.

The god that had sent him to that world had already interfered a lot with it.

'But it did seem to not be able to easily go against fate... Maybe he didn't get any backlash because his actions were in harmony with fate?'

Many thoughts rushed into Enel's mind, all at the speed of lightning as he dodged a water tentacle that had whipped towards him and Luffy at breakneck speeds.

Luffy seemed able to just jump over it, whilst Enel just reappeared above the now-transformed IMU.

In an instant, the disk on his back expanded, forming a gigantic saw blade, spinning at breakneck speeds and rushing to cut IMU in half one more.

From one side, Luffy also brought his arms together, pulling reality itself and bending it, sending a tremor much like those Whitebeard wielded towards IMU.

The tremors made the Sea God's body harder to control, and Enel's drums passed through the tentacles IMU had put up for protection with relative ease.

What Enel didn't expect was for the drums to be reflected at him, one of the eyes appearing in front of them at that same moment.

Of course, they did not injure Enel in any way, they simply shrunk, turned back to drums and continued to spin on Enel's back.

It was at that moment that the Lightning God realised that they weren't going to be able to meaningfully damage IMU individually.

Luffy and Enel immediately looked at one another and nodded.

'Time for 'that' then...'
