Chapter 694: Who Will Be the Future Fleet Admiral of the Air Force?
"Damn it, I... I am... God's Emissary."
The enraged Enel scrambled up from the ground full of Dents, wiping the Blood from the Corner of his Mouth.
Supported by his Rage, he endured the pain in his back and gathered more Electro on his body. His pair of large, pure white wings also began to emit bright, deep blue Electric Flash.
[Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz]
In the blink of an eye, the Electric Flash on his Influence formed a lifelike coiling Thunder Dragon around him.
"Sixty Million Volts. Thunder Dragon!!"
As his angry Roar subsided.
This Thunder Dragon, containing terrifying Lightning, immediately let out a high-pitched Dragon Roar, charging rapidly towards Borsalino.
Although it was dragon-shaped.
But because its essence was still Electro, its Speed was still as fast as Lightning.
From the moment it moved, ordinary people's Eyes could only barely see a thick, long Electric Flash streak through the Air.
"This is far enough, Electro Kid."
Zephyr saw Enel attack again, and quickly Hardened a layer of Armament Haki on his left hand.
Before he finished speaking.
A massive, pitch-black Fist, truly as large as a pot, swung out and smashed the Thunder Dragon, which was just about to flash past him, head-on. Instantly, a Loud Noise Accompanied By a sky full of blue Electric Flash exploded In the Court.
"You!!"
Enel was filled with Rage, glaring coldly at Zephyr, but didn't curse wildly, because he recognized the other party's Identity.
Before coming, he had already seen the Data/Files of all current Ministers, Fleet Admirals, Admirals, and Admiral Candidates in the Whole Army on the Ark.
Although his Personality was extremely arrogant due to his Identity as a Shichibukai and the powerful Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability.
But he wasn't truly that kind of brainless, impulsive Idiot who didn't even put Fleet Admirals and Admirals in his Eyes.
Perhaps the Enel in the Canon was like that, but the current him was well-traveled and actually Understood who he could provoke and who he couldn't.
Zephyr walked up to Enel and smiled, "This Old Man had Borsalino test your level. The Result is that you are still very far off right now."
"Hmph!"
Enel couldn't refute, and could only turn his head away with a displeased look, but then heard Zephyr say again, "However, your Potential is great. At least when Borsalino was your Age, he didn't have this kind of Strength."
"..."
Enel's mood improved significantly upon hearing this, and his expression naturally softened. Seeing this, Zephyr chuckled inwardly, thinking, 'He's still a Child after all.'
But what he said wasn't empty talk.
Enel is eighteen this year, almost nineteen, and is indeed much Stronger than Borsalino was at the same Age.
At that Time, the latter not only didn't have the Glint-Glint Fruit Ability, but also hadn't received any Training in other aspects.
As for the former, besides possessing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability, he had already mastered the Six Powers and Haki by training with the Elite Members of Cipher Pol on Noah's Ark.
Zephyr asked, "This Old Man can help you catch up to him as quickly as possible. How about it? Do you want to accept my Special Training?"
He had always liked being a teacher, and especially after becoming the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, this Attribute was further amplified. Whenever he saw a Good Prospect, he wanted to teach them.
Also, Zephyr didn't want Enel to become a second Borsalino.
He still felt that Devil Fruit Ability should be used as an Auxiliary Ability for Martial Arts and Haki, like Sengoku, Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Sakazuki, Kaido, and the others.
Although these people seemed to frequently use their Devil Fruit Ability, their Main Body Strength was all powerful and heavy.
Their Foundation in Physical Ability and Haki was very solid.
As for Borsalino, although he claimed to be a Swordsman, his Combat Core wasn't Swordsmanship but the Glint-Glint Fruit Ability.
His Swordsmanship was based on the Speed brought by the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Or rather, he had no intention of pursuing Sword Dao at all, which is why Zephyr felt he relied too much on his Devil Fruit Ability.
And previously, during the Summit War, Issho, who was in a Standoff with Borsalino for five days, ultimately fought to a Draw and successfully Obtained the Qualification of 'Marine Headquarters Admiral Candidate' and the Epithet 'Fujitora'.
That was also at the Age of over thirty, also at the Swordsmanship Realm of a Great Swordsman, and also possessing a top-tier Devil Fruit.
That is the true Combat Style of a Swordsman. The Gravity-Gravity Fruit Ability is completely attached to the Foundation of Swordsmanship, incidentally adding a few Countermeasures for himself.
In Zephyr's Eyes, Borsalino was less of a Swordsman and more like a Pure Devil Fruit User.
Martial Arts, Swordsmanship, and Haki were all Auxiliary Abilities for his Fruit Ability.
This is Putting the Cart Before the Horse!
"Hmph, how can you help me?"
After a moment of Thought, Enel still couldn't resist the Temptation of greater Strength, and asked, tilting his Chin slightly.
Zephyr didn't mind the Kid's Tsundere attitude and immediately gave his Suggestion: "First, stop bringing out that Spear condensed from Lightning."
"Then, continue to Research the Essence of Hasshoken's Control over Shockwaves. At the same time, you cannot neglect the Cultivation of the Six Powers until you master its Secret Technique, 'Six King Gun'. Also, 'Life Return' is a Required Course."
"Finally, you need Combat, Combat, and more Combat. You must constantly fight against Powerhouses to temper your Will and Haki!"
At this Time, Borsalino saw that there was nothing more for him, and his Curiosity about Enel was satisfied, so he immediately turned into a Flash and left.
Neither Zephyr nor Enel paid him any mind.
After the latter Thought about the former's words, he asked, "So you're going to teach me 'Six King Gun', 'Life Return', and also fight with me?"
"Teaching you these is certainly no problem, but I don't have that much Time to fight with you." After speaking, Zephyr Thought for a moment and then gave Enel another Suggestion.
"Once you have basically mastered 'Six King Gun' and 'Life Return', you can go to the Titan World and find Kaido. He should be very Joyful."
At the same time, there was something he kept in his Heart and didn't say out loud.
That is, Kaido doesn't hold back, and with Enel's current Strength, the entire process should be very painful, but he believed this would be helpful for tempering Haki.
Furthermore, Zephyr had a strange Feeling about Kaido.
After interacting with him for this period of Time, he vaguely felt that Kaido seemed to have similar preferences to himself, just that his methods were a bit more brutal.
"I Understand."
Facing Zephyr's sincere good Will, Enel felt a bit uncomfortable, and immediately turned into a streak of Electric Flash and disappeared from the spot.
"Hehehehe, he even has a shy side!"
Zephyr smiled.
On the way here earlier, Kuzan called and told him about the Matter of meeting Enel previously.
So he also knew that Enel was trained by the Celestial Dragons, and might even be a subordinate of Lord Imu. As for the reason he was sent to the Air Force, it wasn't hard to guess.
It was nothing more than planting a Spy here.
Zephyr also suspected that the Army and Marines also had someone like Enel, such as 'Fujitora' Issho, who was mentioned earlier. However, he couldn't tell who it was on the Army side.
It's just that in Zephyr's view, these were Irrelevant, as they didn't have anything shameful anyway.
Regardless, it was a good thing that the Celestial Dragons were willing to use their Foundation to strengthen the Military's Strength.
"Adding that Bastard Shiki who is coming soon, the three Admirals on the Air Force side will basically be complete. However, this Enel is clearly aiming for the Air Force Admiral position as well. So, who will replace This Old Man as Fleet Admiral then?"
Zephyr crossed his arms across his Chest and looked at the magnificent Fortress of Justice in the distance.
"In terms of Ability, that guy Shiki is a perfect fit, but his Identity dictates that it's impossible. Kaido also seems suitable, but he is, after all, of Pirate Origin..."
"Borsali... Ugh, that's the most Nonsense!"
Zephyr Shake Head, not wanting to think about such absurd Matters. He couldn't even imagine the Screen Feed of Kizaru becoming Fleet Admiral.
"So, could it be that this Kid Enel was specifically sent by the Celestial Dragons to take over the Air Force Fleet Admiral position?"
Although this idea was also a bit unbelievable, after all, Enel's Age, Strength, and Qualifications were clearly insufficient. But once he has Admiral Level Combat Power in the Future, it doesn't seem impossible.
As long as his Strength meets the Condition, what do Age, Qualifications, and so on count for in front of the Celestial Dragons?
Unless Borsalino is willing to step forward and compete with Enel for the Fleet Admiral position at that Time, which everyone knows is impossible...
