A fivefold increase in strength!

It's simple, brutal, and equivalent to a power enhancement that can be stacked with any other talent or skill.

The precondition is that Abel's body can withstand this ferocious power; otherwise, his body would collapse before anything else.

Fortunately, the gourmet cells within his body have completed three evolutionary life stages. The enhancement provided by his unique skill, Dark Breath, and various routine trainings also bolstered his resilience.

He believed he could handle it.

To his delight, the talent "Strength of the Titanic Beast" could also be upgraded to a red-tier talent.

He needed to record nine more different giant beast templates to reach a total of twelve.

While challenging, it was not unattainable.

With this step concluded, his primary mission on Skypiea was accomplished. Anything else, whether or not he could take down Enel, would be a bonus.

"Let's go, let's meet the other 'god'." 

Mounting the Waver, a Skypiea-specific vehicle resembling a sea motorcycle, the two followed the map they obtained and headed toward Bianca.

Shortly after their departure, the Divine Guards stumbled across the remains of the giant python.

"Quickly report to god that the 'Ruler of the Skies' has been slain, suspected to be the work of those two missing Blue Sea people."

They delivered the news to Gan Fall immediately.

Upon hearing the report, Gan Fall's expression grew stern, and he ordered, "Find them immediately, but do not act rashly. I will handle this personally."

The strength to easily kill the 'Ruler of the Skies' should not be underestimated!

These Blue Sea people surely came with unspeakable intentions.

He must expel them before they brought disaster.

Meanwhile, Abel and Baby-5 rode the Waver at high speed toward Bianca, making no stops along the way.

Soon, they reached the small sky island located in the south.

It was almost indistinguishable from the Angel Island they left; the culture, people, and architecture were all the same.

However, it seemed that news traveled slowly here; they had been on Sky Island for three or four days, yet the residents of Bianca were completely unaware of the arrival of the Blue Sea people, still looking at them with that peculiar gaze.

Abel didn't worry about alarming the locals and started to inquire about Enel directly.

The responses were mixed.

Many in Bianca knew the name Enel, given the small size of the island where almost everyone knew each other.

But as Abel brought up the name, most changed their expressions, and their tones were no longer friendly.

It seemed that they were unwilling to acknowledge the presence of such a person.

At first, Abel was surprised, but then he remembered the events following Enel's rise to power from the original story and realized there must be an underlying story.

After all, the first action of a person with 'godly' powers wouldn't be to destroy their homeland.

It was a hatred so intense that it reflected a desire not for dominion, but complete annihilation.

What could have happened to Enel before that would make him despise everything about his hometown so deeply?

After defeating Gan Fall and becoming the new god of Sky Island, Enel didn't annihilate his predecessor; he maintained his own rule in his way.

Now, seeing the hatred the people of Bianca had for Enel, Abel had some speculations in mind.There might have been some misunderstanding, but it was true that they were mutually repulsed.

Abel had been inquiring all the way, but no one was willing to mention anything about Enel until a young man wearing a pilot's cap and goggles stopped them.

"Are you looking for Enel? I know where he is, come with me."

Although the man hid it well, Abel, with his Observation Haki, still sensed a subtle malevolence.

However, he did not expose the man, instead, he followed him into the depths of the dense forest with Baby-5.

Upon reaching a certain spot, the man suddenly attacked, binding Abel and Baby-5 with a strange rope cloud. Then, three more people emerged from behind the trees, surrounding them.

"Blue Sea dwellers?"

"Shura, what's the deal with these two?"

"I saw them inquiring about Lord Enel, so I lied about knowing his whereabouts and lured them here."

"That's bold of you. Lord Enel will surely be interested in these Blue Sea dwellers, take them away."

"Don't worry, once they're bound by my Rope Cloud, not even the God's Guards can break free."

At that moment, Baby-5 sent Abel an inquisitive look, to which he shook his head, signaling her to stay calm.

They still needed these people to guide them, there was no rush to take action yet. They would wait until they met Enel.

Under the escort of these men, they continued further in.

Finally, in front of a treehouse, they met their target.

At only 25, Enel was already in his classic attire: a white bandana on his head, long earlobes, bare upper body, with thunder drums attached to his back, lantern pants on the lower body, and barefoot.

"Lord Enel, we have captured two Blue Sea dwellers who were inquiring about your whereabouts."

"Looking for me? Blue Sea dwellers?"

Enel looked at Abel and Baby-5 with some surprise, not understanding how the Blue Sea dwellers would know of him.

After all, in the two years since he had gained 'the power of a god,' he had been keeping a low profile.

Apart from installing thunder drums on his back and showing some 'miracles' to recruit a few subordinates, he hadn't even killed any of the people he despised.

He wanted to fully master 'the power of a god' and then destroy this disgusting place in one fell swoop!

Before then, he needed to bide his time.

But since these two Blue Sea dwellers were captured, there was no need to waste them. It was an opportunity to learn some things he was interested in.

"Blue Sea dwellers, state your names and the purpose of your visit."

Although Enel did not yet proclaim himself a god at this moment, he was already intentionally or unintentionally aligning his behavior and tone with that of a 'god' as he imagined it.

"The thunder drums on your back suggest that you've indeed eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

Upon hearing the words 'Rumble-Rumble Fruit,' a shock hit Enel's heart.

He had begun to acquire 'the power of a god' after unintentionally consuming a very odd-tasting fruit.

However, he chose to believe that a deity had bestowed the power upon him through the fruit.

To put it bluntly, he was someone with little knowledge, coupled with a severe case of chuunibyo!

Abel saw right through this guy.

Then, covering his entire body with Armament Haki, he shook himself free with little effort.

The so-called incredibly tough Rope Cloud was easily broken by him.
