OPI Chapter 175: The Consequence of Power
🕑 Added 2024-06-10 21:32:08 +0000 UTCA bare-chested child is formed from the electric light. The boy had earlobes that reached his chest and a head of curly golden hair.
"What is happening to me?" Enel exclaimed, staring in disbelief at the palms of his hands, where small blue electric currents were jumping back and forth. It had all happened too fast.
"Awesome!"
"This extraordinary skill is amazing!"
This boy, who was just sixteen years old, is now extremely happy. As an orphan, he has been despised by people on the island for many years.
He had fantasized more than once about having superhuman powers to become someone important on the island, living in a big, beautiful house, eating exquisitely prepared food, wearing clean clothes and, if possible, buying a Waver to sail at high speed across the White Sea.
"I have to go back and show Bull and the others! They'll be jealous of me for sure, and those idiots won't dare to look down on me anymore!"
Enel turned into an electric light again, but this time calmer. He began to control his ability, discovering that he could slow down.
Adjusting his speed, he was soon able to observe his surroundings clearly. Although not as fast as before, it was still much faster than running on foot and in an instant he was back in the bustling city.
However, the city was no longer as peaceful and beautiful as before. A tense and sorrowful atmosphere now reigned. Laughter and cries of joy had been replaced by heart-rending wailing.
A large number of people gathered on the street, crying around their relatives and friends on the ground.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a woman screamed: "That thing is coming again!!"
"Run!"
In an instant, all the residents of Birka scattered, running away in fear.
"What happened?" Enel wondered, emerging from the lightning, observing the chaotic scene. He looked at those lying on the ground, confused.
"Enel!"
"How could it be you!"
"It's me, look, I'm now the legendary devil fruit ability user!" Enel, unaware of what had happened, excitedly raised his right hand, from which blue electric snakes emerged.
"This should be electricity, right?"
"Right?"
But with his words and actions, the whole scene was silent.
The residents of Birka Island watched intently as the electric currents ran through Enel's arm. Especially those who were crying beside the bodies of their loved ones, whose faces were contorted in fury.
"You killed Garcia!"
"You! Why did you kill Lowell! He gave you bread before!"
"Woo! Woo! Woo! Give me back my dad!"
A wave of insults was thrown at Enel, leaving him stunned and at a loss for words. Little by little, he began to realise the magnitude of his mistake.
"Enel! Bull is dead!" A group of orphans screamed, crying as they carried the body of a child.
Enel, in a flash of electricity, appeared before them, but his action only served to frighten them further.
"How could this happen?" Enel muttered, holding Bull's limp body.
He finally understood that in his electrical form he had passed through everyone in his path, and those people had not been able to withstand the intense shock.
"Get out of Birka!"
"You damn murderer, get out!"
"Monster! Monster! Monster!"
At this time, the anger of those residents had reached the limit.
"It was not my intention!" Enel screamed, desperate. "I just ate the devil fruit and lost control of my body!"
In desperation, he didn't want to hurt anyone anymore, so he had to hold his friend's body and turned into lightning to escape to the jungle deep in the island.
"Why, how did things turn out like this?" Enel was in a complicated mood.
Although there were many adults on the island that he didn't like, there were also some adults who helped him from time to time.
He really didn't want to kill anyone!
"Am I a monster?"
"No, I'm not a monster!"
Enel, hugging Bull's body, felt torn apart, with tears of anguish and pain rolling down his cheeks.
"But if I'm not a monster, what am I? I killed people..."
"You are the divine emissary, my messenger." Suddenly, an imposing voice echoed through the jungle.
"Who's there?" Enel raised his head, alert, searching in all directions.
"Most people's lives are fragile. Minor illnesses, minor collisions, even walking on a flat road, can lead to death from various types of accidents and disasters."
"You have the ability of a natural disaster, so you are a natural disaster. Treat those who are accidentally killed by you as if they died in a natural disaster."
"Humanity's hatred of natural disasters has no meaning."
Enel looked around, frightened.
"Fly, Enel, use the power of lightning and fly to the sky. Follow the guidance of the Golden Bell and come meet your god."
...
On Castro Island, the Capone family's stronghold in the West Blue, an angry voice echoed. "I won't allow it!"
"Old man, didn't we agree before that as long as I defeated one of the other four families, you would support me to go out to sea to find Whitebeard?" A nineteen-year-old, 1.6-meter-tall young man said. His eyes were narrowed, and his tone was cold. "Do you want to break the contract and play tricks on me?"
Capone Al didn't know what to say. He had only made that impossible condition to discourage his son from going out to sea.
"Bege, what do you care if Whitebeard joins the world government?!" Capone Al yelled enraged.
“Because Whitebeard is definitely not a man who will compromise for wealth and glory or bow down because of the threat of the World Government. There must be a big problem here!” Capone Bege said coldly.
In short, Whitebeard is his idol, and he is an admirer of Whitebeard. Anyway, he is going to the New World.
“How do you know he is not that kind of person?”
“Have you seen him?”
“Where in this world are there people who don’t pursue wealth and glory, and where are there people who are not afraid of death!”
Capone Al was really going crazy. He only had this one heir. What kind of place is the New World?
“You are my father, so I will give you one chance. If you insult Whitebeard again, I will kill you.” Bege warned coldly without showing any emotion, and then added: “If I find out that he is really a man who disappoints me, I will cut off his head with my own hands!”
Capone Al’s eyes twitched when he heard this.
“For the last time, I tell you that I will set out to sea and return after seeing Whitebeard. At that time, I will destroy the other four families and unify the Underworld in the West Blue under the control of the Capone family.”
With that, Bege turned and headed for the door. But suddenly, he heard his father's shout behind him.
“Is Whitebeard your father or am I your father? Wake up, he has already become the World Government’s dog!”
[Bang!]
The sudden sound of a gunshot terrified the mafia members who were nearby. Shocked, they watched as Bege turned around and fired without hesitation, piercing his father's forehead.
Bege's eyes were cold and cruel. “I warned you, another word and I would kill you. And you dared to break our agreement?”
"You're looking for death."
Bege raised his head and looked at the family members surrounding him.
“From now on, I am the boss of the Capone family. I am the boss here. Get the boats and supplies ready!”
“Boss, if we leave, what will we do if the other families attack us?” A subordinate dared to ask.
“Take all the treasures, food and weapons. As for these territories, they are not going anywhere. We will take them back when we return and eliminate them in the process.”
Bege replied patiently, but just as he finished speaking, he raised his pistol and shot the subordinate in the forehead, once again surprising the other members.
“Good question, but don’t repeat it.”
At this moment, an arrogant laugh resounded in the room.
"Hahahaha!"
"It was a great show, boy, you are pretty good, it's worth it that I personally brought you the appointment letter~~"
…
An electric blue flash emerged from the center of Birka Island, shooting into the sky.
"I'm really flying!"
Enel looked around continuously, trying to find the god who was guiding him. Just then, a distant, melodious sound of bells reached his ears.
"There!"
Instantly, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the origin of the bells.
A huge white ship, the size of Birka Island, rose hundreds of meters above the White Sea.
A golden tower stood on the vast deck and a blue snake more than thirty meters long was striking the golden bell with its tail.
[Clang!]
Enel, transformed into lightning, landed on the deck.
"I am Stussy, the secretary general of Saint Nerona. I have been ordered to take you to the Empty Hall to meet the Lord!"
Enel, seeing the blonde woman dressed in black, hurried to follow her. Hesitantly, he asked: "Who are you? Are you gods?"
"We are part of the World Government, and this is Noah's Ark, Saint Nerona's floating palace."
Along the way, Enel learned many things from Stussy, but the most important thing was the existence of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
