Chapter 146: Overwhelming
While Buggy gets his ass kicked by Kizaru, Cricket & co are fighting well with the officers. They show why they are worth their bounties and reputations. The Marines weren't prepared well for this.
Enel, Jude, & Manba who fight the Marine Captains are overwhelming their opponents. Even Enel who has 2 opponents can suppress them easily. He is also pissed after getting defeated easily by Kizaru, so he lashed it on the 2 Captains.
He spams his lightning on the 2 Captains, Greg & Parjo. Their seastone coated weapons which are a club & a spiked wrecking ball are useless against Enel's attacks. Enel just attacks blindly without caring about his surrounding.
Luckily, he is alone with the 2 Marine Captains because the others have spread to other places. His rage just affects the 2 Captains and makes them can't get closer to him. They can't get closer, but they need to evade Enel's lightning bolts.
"DAMN VERMIN, WHY ARE YOU STILL RUNNING AROUND? DIE!" says Enel in frustration as he still can't defeat the Marine Captains.
He is very pissed, so Enel flashes toward the 2 Marine Captains. They see it as a chance and swing their weapons at him who now stands beside them. But suddenly, Enel glows brightly because of his lightning power.
"10 Million Volt Discharge!" says Enel.
*BOOM*
The Marine Captains widen their eyes as Enel's body explodes. His lightning spread everywhere, creating a big explosion. It hits the 2 Marine Captains and electrocutes them. The high voltage makes the 2 Marine Captains faints immediately.
"Phew, I feel better now," says Enel in relief after releasing his pent-up emotion.
Jude also has an easy time with her opponent. She got a Marine Captain, Tono, who wields a pair of seastone coated short sticks as an opponent. His weapon made her worried at first, but Tono isn't as strong as she thought.
She just doesn't need to get close to her opponent and attack from a distance. As long as she doesn't touch the seastone coated sticks, she will be fine. She overwhelms Tono easily and strangles him in the chest to suffocate him. He finally faints after being unable to breathe, making Jude wins easily.
"Hehe, I've grown stronger. Captain should like me now, right?" ponders Jude, still not giving up chasing Buggy.
The Marine Captains are not too strong for the Clowns' current level. It's also the case for the last Marine Captain who fights Manba. The fat doctor fights calmly and he is an experienced fighter. So he can fight the Marine Captain easily too.
Manba just needs one shot of his spear bazooka to defeat his opponent, Slek, who fights barehanded. The bazooka has been upgraded by Ruff and has bigger firepower. It can even knock out a Seaking in one shot.
Slek can't use Armament and can't even use Observation Haki, so Manba can predict his movement easily and hit him with one shot. Without armament, Slek can't protect himself and receive the full brunt of the bazooka's explosion that makes him faint instantly.
"What a rare thing for me to get an easy opponent. Is this what Captain felt all these times?" ponders Manba as he ties Slek onto a tree.
On another hand, Mantis's fight isn't an easy one, but it's also not difficult. Her opponent, Commodore Jasmine, who wields an axe is quite strong. Jasmine is also a devil fruit user, a zoan type devil fruit.
She ate the Dog Dog Fruit, model: Red Fox. As a fox, she is very fast & agile, but not that strong. Her weapon choice is very strange considering she is a speed type. Axe is a heavy weapon and needs strength, not speed, after all.
"This is HQ, what's the situation over there?" asks the caller from Marine HQ.
"A-Uh, wait, please! I'm a chore boy, not the one responsible here," says Ruff with a fake nervous tone.
Deon is dumbfounded seeing Ruff's act, but he approves it.
"What? Chore boy? Where's the ship's Captain?" asks the caller.
"H-He's having diarrhea and left a few minutes ago," says Ruff.
"Is there anyone else there?" asks the caller.
"N-no, it's just me. I'm cleaning the room, so no one enters it. S-Should I give the denden mushi to the ship's Captain?" asks Ruff.
".... Sigh, no, it's okay. Just tell me what happens there," says the caller.
"Y-Yes," says Ruff.
Ruff then gives a fake report with a fake nervous tone. The caller isn't suspicious at all because he thinks Ruff is a chore boy, so it's normal for Ruff to be nervous. Ruff finished the call without creating any suspicion.
Deon claps his hands after Ruff finished, "Great job, Mr. Actor."
Ruff smirks and has a smug expression, "Leave this task to me, The Great Ruff."
