Chapter 303: Against Such a Powerful Opponent as Moria, I Will Go All Out!
Chapter 303: Against Such a Powerful Opponent as Moria, I Will Go All Out!
With a determined mindset, Moria didn't take Enel seriously at all.
His initial anger shifted into a playful smirk, as if he believed that Enel was completely under his control.
"Shadow Master!"
Moria immediately used his Devil Fruit ability to create a shadow clone.
This clone could ignore any damage and move like a wraith, assisting Moria in both offense and defense.
As the dark shadow figure rushed towards him, Enel frowned, feeling a bit puzzled.
Why did it feel like the opponent's attack posed no threat at all?
He had an odd sense that one of his God's Judgement strikes would be enough to obliterate the clone.
Still, remembering his past experiences, Enel remained cautious.
Since Uchiha Yi appeared in his life, he had suffered many defeats.
There's an old saying: "Once bitten, twice shy."
He had been bitten three or four times now—if he still didn't learn, he might as well be rebuilt from scratch.
To be safe, Enel decided to go all out from the start.

"Thunder God War God!"
This was a new skill Enel had developed or rather improved upon.
The original Thunder God Form released 200 million volts of electricity, transforming him into a giant thunder god.
While powerful, it had a major drawback: the massive size made it slow and cumbersome, negating the speed advantage of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
The dispersed power also required great concentration to control.
It was effective against ordinary opponents, but against enemies of similar strength, it was not very useful.
Thus, Enel had improved it.
He compressed the 200 million volts of electricity into a battle armor, covering his entire body.
This way, he combined destructive power, speed, and defense into one perfect form.
No matter whether the enemy attacked, ran away, or fought back, Enel felt that he was now on par with a Marine Admiral!
---
"Hmph!"
"Take this!"
"Thunder God: Lightning Shimmer!"
Holding his golden staff with both hands, Enel coated it with a black substance, like a shadowy force.
Then, his entire 200 million volts of electricity flowed through the staff.
He swung the staff at the shadow clone, and in an instant, the shadow shattered without any resistance.
Enel was momentarily stunned.
However, he didn't have time to dwell on it.
With the shadow clone gone, the black, lightning-charged staff continued its trajectory.
A brilliant flash of light shot from the staff's tip, like a laser beam, directly at Moria.
---
"What?!"
Due to his long years of laziness and isolation, Moria's battle instincts had long since dulled.
He didn't even consider the possibility of such an attack, resulting in a moment of stunned hesitation instead of an immediate reaction.
By the time he realized what was happening, the lightning beam was already right in front of him.
Panicking, he quickly used Shadow Mage to swap places with the shattered shadow.
But he was still too slow.
The thunderous strike obliterated half of his body, leaving Moria slumping to the ground, his face frozen in disbelief.
As his life ebbed away, he found himself reminiscing about his entire journey, his life flashing before his eyes.
---
"Haha!"
"Did I just win?"
"Does that mean I now have Admiral-level strength?"
Enel was dumbfounded. He had mentally prepared for a hard-fought battle, but it ended just like that?
---
"No need to be so surprised."
"Moria is just the weakest among the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"With your strength, defeating him is no big deal."
The Golden Lion clone couldn't help but explain.
"Huh?!"
Enel didn't know how to process his emotions, feeling like he'd been tricked by fate.
He had prepared himself for an epic struggle, only to have it end in seconds.
That powerless feeling was deeply frustrating.
---
"Since Moria is done for, let's clean up his remaining subordinates."
"We clearly overestimated his strength—turns out he was just a weakling among the Warlords."
Lucci shrugged off the confusion, realizing that they had seriously misjudged the enemy's power level.
"It doesn't matter now—the problem is solved."
Hearing Lucci's words, Enel sighed and prepared to regroup with Nojiko and the others to report the situation and plan the next steps.
---
Just as they were about to leave, Enel's Observation Haki suddenly detected a strange presence.
"Who's there?!"
"Stop sneaking around and come out!"
Enel shouted, his senses sharp and alert.
The others also paused, looking around cautiously, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Before they could ask Enel what was wrong, he raised his finger, pointing towards an empty area.
A million-volt lightning bolt shot from his fingertip, piercing through the space.
---
"Ugh!"
A sound of flesh being punctured reached Lucci's keen ears.
A figure gradually became visible—a tall man with a lion-like face, stitched together like a patchwork creature.
This was Absalom, one of Moria's three monsters.
---
"Cough, cough!"
"How did you find me?"
Absalom clutched his bleeding chest, his face twisted in pain and disbelief.
"Ah, so it's Absalom, one of Moria's three monsters."
"You must be the user of the Clear-Clear Fruit. No wonder we couldn't sense you earlier."
Lucci's eyes narrowed as he recognized the intruder.
---
"No time to answer your questions!"
"Go join your captain in the afterlife!"
Without another word, Enel delivered a final lightning strike to Absalom's head, leaving him completely dead.
The others didn't bother to intervene, as they knew it was already over.
A short while later, Enel and his team regrouped with Nojiko's party, reporting the unexpectedly low level of Moria's strength.
---
"If that's the case, let's just take over Thriller Bark!"
Nojiko decisively gave the order after hearing the report, not wasting any time considering other options.
With Moria and his crew eliminated, the massive ship was now theirs to occupy and utilize.
