Chapter 249: Taming Enel—The Rumble-Rumble Fruit Revealed!
"You bastard! What did you do to me?!"
The information from the Devil's Contract imprinted itself into Enel's mind, making everything painfully clear.
He finally understood the true nature of the document he had just signed.
His face twisted with rage and despair—his life, his freedom, his very existence… all ruined!
Overwhelmed by fury, Enel forgot his injuries and roared at Uchiha Yi, seething with hatred.
If his body weren't so battered, he would've lunged forward and torn this accursed mortal apart with his bare teeth.
---
"Enel, shut up."
Uchiha Yi's voice was calm, almost casual.
But in Enel's ears, it resounded like the voice of an omnipotent god—irresistible, absolute.
An invisible force bound his body and will, silencing him instantly.
Enel's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, countless curses trapped in his throat.
He couldn't speak!
---
"Enel, bark like a dog for me."
Uchiha Yi smirked, watching Enel's struggle with amusement.
The command was ridiculous, but it was the perfect test of the Devil's Contract's effectiveness.
---
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Enel's face contorted with humiliation and agony, but he couldn't resist the order.
The words escaped his mouth, completely against his will.
This… this was absolute control!
---
At that moment, Enel's world turned to ash.
The once-mighty god, reduced to a puppet.
---
"Enel, start dancing!"
"Enel, drink water while standing on your head!"
---
Uchiha Yi didn't stop there.
He continued issuing one absurd command after another.
Enel had no choice but to obey, his pride ground into the dirt.
---
"Enel, kill yourself!"
---
Even at this extreme order, Enel raised his hand, ready to strike his own heart.
Of course, Uchiha Yi canceled the command before the blow landed.
He had no intention of losing such a valuable asset.
---
This was more than mere humiliation—it was a comprehensive stress test.
Could the Devil's Contract override the survival instinct?
What about sensory interference? Distance?
---
To further probe its limits, Uchiha Yi ordered Enel to cover his ears while issuing another command.
Then he instructed Enel to move several meters away and gave another order.
---
The result?
Perfect execution, every time.
---
"Not bad!"
Uchiha Yi nodded in satisfaction.
---
Enel, meanwhile, lay sprawled on the ground, utterly drained.
Between his injuries and the relentless barrage of commands, his body had reached its limit.
---
Seeing Enel on the verge of collapse, Uchiha Yi finally relented.
Wouldn't want him dying on me…
---
After all, killing was easy.
But finding someone as powerful as Enel and shaping him into a loyal subordinate?
That was far more valuable.
---
Even with Entry Powers, potential was still bound by individual talent.
For example, Nami's body wasn't particularly exceptional.
Despite receiving Entry-based enhancements, her strength remained rudimentary—raw power without finesse.
Her lack of ambition and drive further hindered her growth, leaving her unable to maximize her newfound strength.
---
In contrast, a naturally gifted fighter, when empowered by Entries, would soar to unimaginable heights.
---
That was why Enel was worth keeping.
A rare talent with an already formidable Devil Fruit.
And now, Uchiha Yi had complete control over him.
---
---
"That's enough for today."
"From now on, Enel, you are a member of the Nameless Pirate Crew."
"Rest up and heal properly."
---
Snapping out of his thoughts, Uchiha Yi issued the final command for the day.
Enel's head hung low, his spirit crushed.
"Yes…"
It was the voice of a man resigned to fate.
The once-proud god had fallen, now shackled to the will of another.
---
In the end, Enel had realized the brutal truth:
Obedience was survival.
---
---
"Hmm?"
Just as Uchiha Yi turned away, his Observation Haki flared.
Several individuals, radiating intense battle intent, were rushing toward the island.
More trouble?
---
Choosing to wait rather than act preemptively, Uchiha Yi soon caught sight of the newcomers.
---
The Shandians?
---
Recognition dawned as he scanned the approaching warriors.
The Shandians—descendants of the people who had been blasted skyward by the Knock-Up Stream centuries ago.
They'd spent generations locked in conflict with the Sky Islanders.
---
Uchiha Yi wasn't interested in their history.
But their purpose here was obvious—they'd come to confront Enel.
---
"Robin, handle these guys for me."
This wasn't worth his time.
The Shandians posed no threat to Robin and the others.
---
---
Meanwhile, let's rewind to the moment Enel had unleashed his 200 Million Volt Thunder God form.
When the lightning struck, the Lightning Repelling Array absorbed it instantly.
Or, more precisely—redirected it.
---
The energy funneled down through the lightning rods, discharging from their bases.
Countless thin strands of electricity pierced the White-White Sea, then the White Sea, and finally, the Blue Sea far below.
---
Even from 10,000 meters below, the Blue Sea dwellers could see the colossal lightning pillar descending from the sky.
---
Every living creature near the impact zone was instantly fried.
Fish floated belly-up.
Birds fell from the sky, feathers charred black.
The sea itself steamed where the lightning struck.
---
And that was when the Flying Pirates—searching for their missing division—noticed the phenomenon.
---
One glance was all it took.
They immediately recognized the cause: a Devil Fruit ability.
Specifically, one with lightning-based powers.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
---
The strongest Logia… and it's resurfaced!
---
Whether someone had consumed the fruit or not didn't matter.
The ability itself was a priceless treasure.
---
Without hesitation, the pirates called Golden Lion Shiki via transponder snail.
"This is urgent! We've found traces of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
---
But they weren't the only ones to notice.
Spies from various factions across the sea had also seen the sky-splitting thunderbolt.
Within moments, they were dispatching urgent reports to their respective leaders.
