Chapter 8: Sharks vs Enel.
Enel wasted no time and raised his hand to the sky. Sharks' eyes flashed red and he quickly jumped back, dodging a powerful lightning strike. Enel narrowed his eyes at Sharks dodging his attack but attributed it to luck. Where his lightning bolt struck there was a golden staff sticking out of the ground.
Enel quickly grabbed the staff and swung it at Sharks, who leaned back to dodge his swing and somersaulted backwards. Enel didn't let up and instantaneously appeared in front of Sharks with his staff held high in the air. Sharks quickly drew his saber and blocked the attack.
*BOOM*
The force of Enel's swing was strong enough to create a powerful gust of wind. Enel teleported behind Sharks, attempting another sneak attack, but ultimately failed. Sharks saw into the future and ducked under his staff. Within that brief moment, Sharks applied haki to his right arm, flipped around, and gut checked Enel.
"BLEGH!" Enel had the wind knocked out of him and he was incredibly bewildered, 'How in the world did he manage to lay a blow on me?!'
"DIE!" Enel yelled as he waved his hand, releasing a wave of lightning that tore through the ground until it reached Sharks, who dodged it. Enel then turned blue and vanished, reappearing in the sky.
"Behold, the might of a GOD!" Enel roared as thunderclouds began to gather above him. He raised his arm in the air once again and yelled, "EL THOR!"
Sharks' observation haki subconsciously triggered and he quickly cladded his entire body in armament haki.
*BOOM*
Enel's attack destroyed his villa and electrocuted anyone who wasn't strong enough, to death. Sharks was in the center of the destruction with a few burns but otherwise he was fine. He looked up at Enel with a taunting grin, angering the "God" even more. Enel then descended and swung his staff coated with lightning at Sharks' head. Sharks parried with his saber and kicked Enel in the chest.
Enel recovered and charged at Sharks again. The duo began fighting across Enel's island shaking Skypiea in it's entirety. To the average viewer, their fight consisted of red and blue streaks zooming throughout the island.
Sharks blocked another swing from Enel with a grin still plastered on his face. Enel kicked him into the ground and dug his hands into the ground.
"SMILE ABOUT THIS! 200MV SANGO!" Immediately, thick columns of lightning sprouted out of the ground, engulfing the entire island. Sharks was narrowly weaving his way through the lightning trying to get closer to Enel until an unexpected column of lightning hit him square in the chest.
"KAH!" Sharks' pupils disappeared as he was sent flying off of the island. He fell out of the sky rapidly and at this rate he was going to be a blood splatter on the ground. That was until a Waver ridden by a pink haired girl began riding down Giant Jack.
Celestia pushed the Waver to it's limits and barely caught up to Sharks' falling speed. She extended her arm trying to grab him but he was too far away.
"Goddamn it!" Celestia cursed, "I have to jump!" She yelled as she took a leap of faith. With her increased momentum, she managed to grab Sharks out of the air, but now they were both freefalling.
"Damn it Sharks, wake up!" Celestia yelled and slapped Sharks across the face, which awoke him. He looked around for a brief second before pulling Celestia in.
"HOLD ON!" Sharks yelled as a dark red aura enshrouded his left arm. Crackles of black lightning sparked out of his arm, "Zerstörung!" A thick beam of pure red energy released from his left hand propelling them upwards faster than they were falling. They pierced right through Enel's island clouds and high above the island.
"I need you to throw me!" Sharks yelled prompting Celestia to maneuver in mid-air. She grabbed his collar and used the incredible amount of momentum generated from Sharks' blast to spin and throw him.
Meanwhile, Enel was on the ground angered by Sharks' survival. He began to concentrate lightning between his hands creating a dense ball of lightning. He then beat on all four drums on his back, amplifying the ball of lightning.
"RAIGO JAMBOULE!" A massive dragon born from lightning travelled towards Sharks with it's jaws wide open. Sharks was flying through the air with his saber at his side. He used 20% of Elend's haki on top of his own, concentrating it on his right arm.
"KEN STYLE: WITHERING WISTERIA!" A giant eagle engulfed Sharks and tore right through Enel's dragon. Sharks used his remaining momentum to dropkick Enel in the face, sending him flying across his island. Sharks himself tumbled across the cloudy ground until a piece of rubble stopped him.
"Playing around with him wasn't the best of ideas..." Sharks said to himself in pain. He began to feel the pain from Enel's lightning strike on top of his drawback from Elend. His chest was bleeding heavily and his arm was purple, crackling with haki lightning. Despite this, Sharks still stood up and prepared to fight.
Enel emerged from the cloudy ground with a giant column of lightning. Blood was leaking from his head and lips, which made the "God" reach new levels of anger. He wasted no time and immediately tried to blitz Sharks with a lethal blow to the head. Sharks blocked the attack but was sent sliding across the ground due to the inertia behind it. As soon as Sharks recovered he sped towards Enel, much faster than Enel was expecting.
"Ken Style: Violent Garden!" The image of an eagle's talons appeared over Sharks' left arm and tore through Enel's staff and skin, leaving a large diagonal slash on his chest. Sharks stood behind Enel, who was stumbling as he bled from his mouth and new wound. Enel then remembered Celestia and began to laugh hysterically.
"HAHAHAHAHA! EL THOR!" He yelled and fired the attack at Sharks, who dodged it with ease. Enel was still laughing despite missing his attack confusing Sharks until he felt where it was headed.
"If you thought that would take Celestia out, you need to learn how to gauge the strength of your opponents." Sharks laughed as Enel's attack was sent into the air. Celestia was standing on top of a piece of rubble with a slight frown on her face that quickly turned to concern as she gazed upon Sharks.
"Sharks, are you sure you can still fight?!" She yelled and Sharks gave her a thumbs up. She nodded and sat down on the piece of rubble, continue her observation of their fight.
Enel gnashed his teeth and glared at Sharks, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
Sharks smiled and the wind conveniently began to blow, making his cloak flow in the wind, "I'm the captain of the Demon Eater pirates along with being the future strongest pirate, Sharks!"
Celestia facepalmed while Enel clenched his jaw before his expression turned blank. He wanted to launch another attack at Sharks but he could feel his consciousness slipping. Soon, Enel collapsed on the ground.
Sharks breathed a sigh of relief and gave Celestia a toothy grin. She shook her head and laughed softly as she jumped off the piece of rubble. She then walked up to Sharks and slapped him, "Don't scare me like that again! I thought you were a goner!" She yelled but soon wrapped her arms around him. Sharks flinched in pain from the wound on his chest, but returned Celestia's hug.
They broke their hug and Sharks pointed at Enel, "Despite him trying to kill us and believing he's a god, I don't harbor an ounce of hatred towards him."
Celestia had a feeling Sharks was going to say something outlandish and her feelings weren't wrong.
"I want him to join our crew!"
