Chapter 3: Return to Grand line
In a forest with huge trees, the birds escape because of the mess that was happening below.
*buzz* *buzz*
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
Enel had his eyes closed as a layer of electric arcs surrounded him, right now he had his arm pointing towards a tree, not far from him, Vlad was sitting idly on the ground eating a cherry pie.
It had been a whole year since Vlad came to Sky Island, since then he had been taking care of and training Enel, in turn, he had also been practicing and improving his skills, but since I awakened the fruit the speed at which he could improve his devil fruit had become extremely slow, almost zero.
Currently Vlad's physical strength was not very strong, he was at the same level as Water 7's Luffy, although he was training, his physical talent had limits and he needed to make his way with real fights on the brink of death to improve, and on Sky Island he did not have the opportunity to experience those fights.
While Vlad was lost in his thoughts, a loud voice distracted him.
"1 million volts!!!"
With a shout, Enel released a bolt of lightning that completely engulfed a tree not far from him, completely destroying it, along with the surrounding land.
"Big brother! I did it! I was finally able to-" before Enel could finish his words he suddenly fainted, having reached his limit.
Vlad quickly appeared to hold him so he wouldn't get hurt. Since Vlad stayed with him, the two of them had developed a brotherly relationship.
For Enel, who had always been hated by everyone, being an abandoned child with no parents, friends or anyone to take care of him, Vlad had become his most important family.
Unlike before, the current Enel was no longer malnourished, with Vlad he never went hungry nor afraid.
Enel, who was quick to wake up, saw that he was being carried, and with a few weak words he spoke happily.
"I did it bro, I can now throw 1 million volts"
Vlad heard this and smiled. He had told Enel earlier that he would soon be leaving for a while to the sea below, he needed to continue carrying out his plans, when Enel found out about this he freaked out and begged Vlad to take him with him.
At first Vlad refused because he felt that Enel should continue to stay and train on his own before traveling, but under Enel's insistence, they agreed that if by the end of the year he managed to throw a beam with 1 million volts he would take him on his trip, a promise is a promise.
Releasing 1 million volts was a piece of cake for the Enel of the future, but the current Enel is just a child with a weak body, Enel had trained like crazy under Vlad's guidance, and only now could he barely throw a beam of 1 million volts.
"Well done Enel, you did it"
With a gentle tone Vlad came home with Enel and let him rest.
As you can see, Vlad decided to feed Enel the Thunder Fruit, someone worthy like Enel was suitable for such a fruit, he had talent.
In the original plot Luffy was only lucky against Enel by being the latter's direct counter.
Enel developed the Thunder Fruit quite well, he managed to improve his mantra by being able to sense the electromagnetic waves in the air, and that was not an easy thing.
just as Kidd did not think of using electromagnetic waves to improve observation haki even though he could.
Enel was different finding that way and thus managing to improve his mantra or observation haki.
Apart from that Enel even studied meteorology, managing to take advantage of the clouds and launch an AOE attack that damaged the entire Sky Island in the original plot, and not to mention that he could revive himself using his fruit to give himself an electric shock when he had a cardiac arrest.
An interesting fact is that of all the antagonists and villains of One Piece, Enel was one of the few who managed to fulfill his dream, going to the moon, becoming the leader of the moon's indigenous people.
But all that does not matter now because Enel has not achieved any of that yet being a child at this time.
Vlad left Enel and began to make preparations for their trip, they needed a boat after all, although the two could fly, Enel could not do so for a long time since it consumes a lot of energy for his weak child body.
"Heh, I guess it's time for that..."
Activating his supersonic speed, he quickly appeared in the city of gold, the golden light dazzled the entire city, gold and jewels everywhere, undoubtedly an extravagant city.
When Vlad appeared in the sky, none of the guards protecting the city from the Shandians noticed him.
The Shandians were the owners of this city but were forcibly thrown out by the other indigenous people of the sky island.
It didn't take long for Vlad to knock out the guards and silently steal a large amount of gold, he planned to use this to pay for the ship he had built earlier, this gold would also help him with his expenses in the blue sea.
Vlad had planned to build the golden ark that Enel always wanted since he was little, but unfortunately it wasn't time for something like that yet, but in the future Vlad definitely planned to do it.
Taking the gold with him, Vlad quickly headed to another area of the island.
A fat old man who owned a shipyard for shipbuilding had been commissioned by Vlad to build him a large ship, although the ship was not exaggerated like that of the future mugiwaras, it still had a decent quality to travel on the grand line.
"Vlad boy, you finally arrived, your ship is now finished and ready to be used, as for the payment...."
Vlad had no interest in wasting time with this person, he directly threw some bundles and jewels at him, and said goodbye, leaving the old man breathless watching as the ship he built flew away as if nothing had happened.
"Am I hallucinating right now? No, it must be one of Vlad's strange powers, everyone in town knows he has magical abilities."
The man gulped remembering how one day Vlad came to the town with Enel and began to beat up whoever insulted Enel, since Enel was under his protection, no one else harassed him again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Enel woke up with a start, he left the wooden house with hurried steps but found nothing, giving him a bad feeling.
Just when Enel thought that Vlad had left him to go to the blue sea without him, he suddenly heard a voice coming from above, a voice he was very familiar with.
"Enel you slept too much, if you had taken a little longer I would have left without you, now get your ass here before I lose my patience" Vlad on the edge of the flying ship pointed at Enel with a smile waiting for him
"Yes big brother!" Enel was quick to use his lightning speed to fly and get on the ship.
The ship was the same size as the Merry, hell, it was practically the same as the Merry, Vlad had no qualms about copying the Mugiwaras' Merry, after all he was a fanatic, the only difference is that instead of having the head of a goat, it had the head of a Falcon and on its flag there was a skull with blue eye sockets, which in its mouth had a lollipop.
