Chapter 247: Return to the Blue Sea

Jaya Island, on the coast.

After experiencing a thrilling, extreme high-altitude, free-fall, Enel seemed to have awakened a new personality quirk.

Gazing at the boundless sky above, Enel's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he were saying, "Let's do it again!"

Due to the "Big Talker" buff, which Adrian had experienced firsthand for its bizarre and almost nonsensical effects, he completely ignored Enel.

Remaining silent, Adrian quietly walked towards Mock Town on Jaya Island.

Several months ago, Adrian had been deeply impressed by this pirate haven, and he had secretly noted its location.

Now that the Sky Island affairs were concluded, it was the perfect time to cause some trouble!

"Master! Is this the Blue Sea? Where are we going?" Enel hurried to catch up, waving the black prismatic staff in his hand and eagerly asked Adrian.

As a native of Sky Island, he had naturally heard of the vast sea below.

"Blue Sea" was the term Sky Islanders used for the ocean below.

As for the staff in Enel's hand, it wasn't a "Weather Staff" imbued with Sky Island climate knowledge but merely an ordinary hard stick.

It wasn't that Enel didn't want a weapon that could control the weather, but his energy was limited.

He couldn't possibly absorb and master extensive climate knowledge while also training himself rigorously.

Even a genius navigator like Nami needed two years of study and training to master the new Weather Staff.

Given Enel's current understanding of meteorology, it was better not to think about such things.

"There's a pirate town ahead; we're going to clean up the trash," Adrian said as concisely as possible.

"Really? Pirates? Do such people exist?" Enel remained excited, holding a strong curiosity about everything in the world below the sky he had never seen.

If he weren't worried about getting beaten up, he probably would have been collecting "dirt" from the ground by now!

You know, dirt was a precious treasure!

This was common knowledge for Sky Islanders!

Adrian said, "I am a pirate."

"Master is lying again!" Enel didn't believe him at all. "Even in the storybooks I've read, there's no pirate like you."

Adrian didn't bother to argue, waving at Enel and pointing to the two people running towards them.

The one in front had a sharp, monkey-like face, looked wretched, and was tightly clutching a small, bulging brown pouch that constantly made clinking sounds of coins colliding. He was running fast.

The one behind had a fierce expression, a strong build, wielding a sailor's cutlass, and a flintlock pistol at his waist, shouting angrily.

Without a doubt, it was another common theft chase scene in Mock Town.

Adrian said in a calm tone, "Enel, take care of these two."

Swish, swish!

Excited, Enel twirled his staff and responded loudly, "No problem!"

However.

Seeing that he was about to lose the chase, the burly man suddenly drew the flintlock pistol from his waist and fired several shots at the figure ahead.

But his marksmanship was so poor that only one shot hit, barely grazing the small man's swinging arm and not affecting his ability to move.

The bullets that missed their target continued to fly towards Adrian with undiminished force.

At that moment.

A crimson flash crossed Enel's eyes. He stepped forward, swung his staff, and deftly deflected the bullets that were headed their way.

Metal bullets clashed against the prismatic staff, sparking brilliant flashes.

The next moment.

A lecherous man had already rushed in front of Enel, giving him a knowing look while shouting loudly:

"Good brother! I'll split the money with you fifty-fifty when we get back!"

Hearing this, the expression on the fierce-looking man's face behind them became even angrier.

However.

Enel remained unmoved, swinging the staff in his hand to block the lecherous man's path.

Caught off guard, the lecherous man slammed his foot hard against the prismatic staff.

Crack—

Accompanied by an extremely crisp sound of bones breaking.

The lecherous man's left leg snapped, bending into a horrifying angle.

"Ah!!"

He fell to the ground, dropping his wallet, clutching his broken leg, and wailing in pain.

"Well done!"

The fierce-looking man's face lit up with joy. He quickly ran over, bent down, and grabbed the wallet off the ground.

Then, pointing a gun at Enel, he demanded.

"You brat with the stick! Hand over all your money! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you live!"

Enel's face twisted into a sinister smile, "Thank you for that!"

Before the man could react.

Enel burst forward with explosive speed, becoming a blur that was almost invisible, suddenly appearing right in front of the man.

"If it's a fight, be ready to die!"

The prismatic staff whistled through the air, smashing into the man's neck, nearly shattering his neck bones completely!

Meanwhile, the lecherous man, still wailing, peeked over.

He saw the lifeless body of the fierce man, thrown backwards by the force of the staff.

The lecherous man instantly froze in fear, forgetting the pain in his leg.

Enel, holding the blood-dripping prismatic staff, walked towards the lecherous man step by step.

Soon, the lecherous man met the same fate as the fierce one.

"Master, did I do well?"

"With your Observation Haki and Soru, if you couldn't handle those two, I'd think you're useless."

Adrian didn't hold back in enhancing Enel's abilities, despite Enel being just a makeshift guard.

Although he didn't give him a Devil Fruit directly, he imparted many physical techniques, especially the Rokushiki.

Over several months.

Enel had mastered Soru well, used Geppo proficiently, and had made considerable progress with Tekkai.

Coupled with the help of his self-awakened Observation Haki.

In Adrian's judgment, Enel's current strength should be enough to challenge pirates with a fifty million berry bounty.

Remember, this wasn't twenty years in the future.

At this time, a fifty million berry bounty was earned purely through brute strength and ability!

Even Crocodile, before becoming a Shichibukai, had a bounty of only 81 million berries!

Adrian and Enel soon entered Jaya Island.

Many pirates lined the sides of the road, their eyes covertly assessing these two "guests" who didn't look like pirates at all.

"Who are those guys? Pirates?"

"They look like easy prey!"

"That kid with the long earlobes looks a bit strange, but the handsome guy in the suit would fetch a high price at a slave auction!"

"Should we make a move? There's only two of them!"

A group of pirates eyed Adrian and Enel greedily, already discussing their potential auction prices.

Adrian patted Enel on the shoulder, "Finish them quickly, don't waste your energy. There's a lot more trash like them in this town!"
