"It's time!"
The reason why Lucifer didn't take action to deal with him himself was because he wanted Enel to have a chance to fight against a strong opponent.
If Lucifer had intervened, the three-eyed masked agent would have been killed in seconds.
That would have deprived Enel of the opportunity to grow through a battle with a strong foe.
Presumably, after this battle, Enel would become stronger.
As for the final beheading, Lucifer would naturally handle that himself.
Just kidding—an agent leader is worth at least 100,000 kill points, so it can't be wasted.
Whoosh!
A flash of light shot into the sky, instantly piercing through the head of the three-eyed masked agent.
With a loud bang, the agent's head exploded and was engulfed by the exploding laser fireball.
"Ding! Host kills the Magic Eye agent and earns 105,000 kill points."
The value of the Magic Eye agent is 5,000 higher than that of the Bone Demon, and Lucifer's kill points increased significantly.
Properties Panel:
Host: Lucifer
Age: 23
Devil Fruit: Word Spirit Fruit
Physique: Hell Devil
Armament Haki: Pinnacle
Observation Haki: Pinnacle
Conqueror's Haki: Pinnacle
Kill Points: 920,000
Killing three powerful CP0 agents brought Lucifer's kill points to 920,000.
"Only 80,000 more to reach 1 million."
To purchase the Conqueror's Haki field, Lucifer needs 1 million kill points.
Once he asks the system to recycle a few Devil Fruits, he will reach the target soon.
Whoosh!
With a flash of lightning, Enel appeared behind Lucifer, clutching his abdomen. His blood had stopped flowing.
"How is it? Are you all right?"
"I'm not dead... still not dead."
Enel shook his head.
Though injured and looking disheveled, his expression was one of excitement.
Fierce battles only make him stronger. That statement was no lie.
After this battle, Enel clearly felt that his Armament Haki had improved.
"These old guys weren't easy. It's impressive that you were able to fight with them and end up in a draw."
"Let's go, we need to leave here."
Lucifer glanced at the devastated island and shook his head slightly.
After the intense battle, one-third of Ford Island had been destroyed.
This is the harsh reality of the One Piece world.
Without strength, even if you hide at home, you might face unwarranted disasters.
Especially in the New World, where pirates are incredibly powerful.
Once a battle breaks out, it's not uncommon for entire islands to be shattered and sunk into the sea.
To survive in such a world, the only option is to constantly grow stronger.
Lucifer left Ford Island with his crew, and the Erebus set sail once again.
On the deck, Baby5 was bandaging Enel's wound.
"Looks like it's time to find a ship's doctor."
Currently, the Nether Pirates were not fully prepared. They were still lacking a ship doctor, sniper, and navigator.
The navigator wasn't a priority. After all, Lucifer and his crew were strong enough to handle the Devil's climate in the New World.
And with Lucifer's abilities, the Erebus was incredibly maneuverable, able to go anywhere.
But a ship's doctor and a sniper were essential—especially a ship doctor.
Some diseases in the sea could be very dangerous, and Luffy from the Straw Hat Pirates was a perfect example.
Who would have thought that the mighty Pirate King, the strongest man in the world, would be defeated by a simple disease?
Although Lucifer could buy healing items from the system store, he didn't want to waste his kill points on something that could be avoided.
"Some people have excellent medical skills, but none are suitable to be ship doctors."
Several candidates appeared in Lucifer's mind.
The first, of course, was Trafalgar Law, the user of the Op-Op Fruit.
With the Op-Op Fruit, Law could heal almost any injury, and he had great potential. With proper training, he would also become a valuable combat asset in the future.
But Law hadn't gone to sea yet. He was still in North Blue, so finding him would be both time-consuming and difficult.
The second candidate was Man Xueli, the little human princess.
She was a Paramecia-type healer, capable of quickly healing any injury she sustained.
However, she was difficult to locate, and the last time Lucifer searched for her in Dressrosa, he couldn't find her.
Additionally, Man Xueli was weak in combat and didn't offer much potential for development.
"Looks like I'll have to take it one step at a time. Hopefully, New World has doctors with great medical skills."
Lucifer glanced at the sea ahead, turned, and walked into the cabin.
Inside the cabin, Lucifer sat on the bed, waved his hand, and seven Devil Fruits appeared on the table in front of him.
They were: Ancient Saber-Toothed Tiger Fruit, Transparent Fruit, Door-Door Fruit, String-String Fruit, Stone-Stone Fruit, Blood-Blood Fruit, and Bone-Bone Fruit.
These seven Devil Fruits were all very powerful. It was a shame to let the system recover them, but Lucifer hesitated for a moment.
"Forget it, no matter how many Devil Fruits I have, I can't use them all. It's better to turn them into kill points to improve my strength."
"Your strength is the most important thing."
Lucifer no longer hesitated and activated the system.
"System, recover the String-String Fruit and Bone-Bone Fruit."
"Ding! Recovery of String-String Fruit and Bone-Bone Fruit complete. 80,000 kill points earned."
A golden light descended, and the String-String and Bone-Bone Fruits disappeared from the table without a trace.
After recovering two fruits, Lucifer had finally gathered 1 million kill points.
"1 million kill points... this is the first time I've had such a huge amount."
Lucifer looked at his kill point balance on the properties panel, feeling a bit emotional.
After entering the New World, things had been very different from the first half of the Grand Line. The rate of earning kill points was much faster than before.
If he were still in the first half of the Grand Line, it would have been impossible for Lucifer to gather 1 million kill points so quickly.
Lucifer closed the properties panel, opened the system store, and mentally gave an order.
"System, buy the Conqueror's Haki field."
"Ding! Purchase of Conqueror's Haki field successful. 1,000,000 kill points deducted, leaving remaining kill points."
The system's mechanical voice echoed, and an overwhelming power surged within Lucifer's body.
The moment this power emerged, it immediately fused with Lucifer's own internal strength.
That power was Lucifer's Conqueror's Haki.
Lucifer's mind went blank as his consciousness seemed to soar thousands of miles away, as though it was about to leave the planet.
Looking down, the entire world was at his feet.
In that moment, Lucifer felt like a god, overseeing the world. Everything was under his control.
But just before Lucifer could fully comprehend the power, his consciousness snapped back to reality.
Lucifer shuddered, feeling as if everything that just happened was an illusion.
However, the changes in his body were undeniable.
Lucifer could feel the tremendous power of Conqueror's Haki coursing through him, its reserves seemingly limitless.
With a mere thought, Lucifer could unleash his Conqueror's Haki like a tsunami, sweeping everything in its path.
In an instant, Lucifer could create his own Conqueror's Haki field.
Within this field, he would be an invincible king.
Enemies entering his field would be constantly attacked by the force of his Haki.
Even the most battle-hardened warriors would lose their will to fight and fall into a coma from the overwhelming power of his Haki.
Those without sufficient physical strength would be crushed into pulp by the sheer force of the field.
To resist Lucifer's Conqueror's Haki, one would need their own Conqueror's Haki.
But if their Haki wasn't strong enough, it would be shattered instantly by Lucifer's field.
"It's so strong... too strong. I can't even describe it with just the word 'strong.'"
Lucifer felt immensely powerful. He no longer worried about Marine Admirals or the Four Emperors.
Admirals and Four Emperors... they were nothing!
"Now, this is interesting."
Lucifer suppressed the Conqueror's Haki threatening to burst out and kept it within his body.
His control over the Haki had become so precise that this time, there was no risk of it getting out of hand.
