161. Training partner

161. Training partner

"That is impossible. Only I know the best mantra." Enel wasn't really able to believe that someone was better than him. All his life, he was known to be the best at mantra and could predict the moves of others. But now he saw that Ken was better at his mantra, and there was something higher than that. How was this possible?

Enel was incensed and proceeded to throw lightning at him. Ken just watched this narcissistic bitch cry as he did so. His whole worldview just got destroyed, which led to his mental collapse. Ken just let him vent his feelings around for a while, and finally Enel calmed down.

Enel didn't want to believe him, but the way Ken made a joke out of him was what made him understand that Ken had probably spoken the truth. Ken beat him with his hands, which had never been possible before, and he continued to claim that he wasn't very good at it.

There was no point in degrading oneself after beating the other guy. Calming down after a few minutes, Enel looked at him with emotionless eyes again, but this time there was hatred in him. He knew that if he really went after the friends of this guy, he really might lose everything.

They didn't have to be enemies.

"What do you want?" Enel asked.

"Now we are talking." Ken smiled. He hated Enel for sure for what he was going to do to Skypiea, but it was still a future thing, and it hasn't happened yet. So he wanted to see if this guy could be salvaged from his cruel and god-complex self.

Enel didn't speak more and wanted to see what this guy from Blue Islands wanted.

"I want you to beat the sh*t out of my friends." Ken said.

"What?" His words completely astounded Enel. What did he mean?

"Well, you have heard of my friends and how fearless they are. You priests won't be able to hold a candle to them, as they know Haki just like me. But you are different; you have speed and lightning with you. You can inflict serious damage." Ken said. Enel was confused now. This guy had threatened to destroy his work if he went after his friends, and now he was suggesting the same thing.

"Of course, I don't want you to go after the girls or the cute animal. Go after the boys and beat them but not kill them. But be aware that our Captain too is immune to your lightning, and the only thing you can do is inflict damage upon him using heat from the lightning." Ken said.

Enel had a question mark on his face as he didn't get it.

"Don't think too much. Just go after the boys." Ken said it in simplified words.

"But why?" Enel really wanted to know.

"It's because they don't have someone who could genuinely hurt them. They need a good partner in training and to understand how big the world is. You can be their wake-up call."

"Can't you teach them yourself?" Enel was more confused. He was sure that Ken was better than him; then why was he asking him?

"I can. But I am their partner, and they will never feel a sense of dread from me. I want them to fear somebody, and you are the perfect asshole for that. Just don't touch Mashira, Cricket, and Shoujo. They will die if you use your lightning on them." Ken said. Enel's eye twitched a bit when Ken called him an asshole, but he didn't protest. He didn't have the right to protest.

"I can do the favor if you teach me the other mantra." Enel was ready to be the training partner, but he didn't want to do it for free.

"Sure, do your work. Lead them to your temple. Also bring the Shandians and the Sky Island people to the main temple. It's time they bury the hatred that has been going on for so many years." Ken ordered. Enel wanted to say that he was a god and didn't take orders from others, but he stopped himself.

He would only get beaten in return. He wanted to learn the other mantra and then take his revenge. He was ready to do his bidding only because of that reason. After Ken gave him directions on what to do, Enel became ligntning and vanished.

Ken himself went on his way around. He had been running around a lot since he came to this world. Training with Luffy and Ace, hunting for food always—take care of everything. It was only recently that, after getting on board the ship, he didn't have to care about the food, but then again, he would have to care about all the other things and keep everyone in line.

He didn't have any complaints about it, and he was happy to be with the crew and was more excited to see the end of their journey. The only thing he complained inwardly about was the characters he got and what others got. He himself had the system, while Luffy got one of the most broken characters.

He wished he had something like that. And it was for this reason that he was racing against time to realize the full potential of his character, Obito. He had already unlocked the Rinnegan abilities, and all he needed was to get the Mangekyo. After that, it would be easier for him. Now that he had free time, he would try to see what new abilities he would be able to unlock.

The island was big, and he would be able to do anything he wanted. Thus he roamed around, practicing whenever he wanted. Meanwhile, Luffy and the others got separated, and the two teams went through two different ordeals.

Enel didn't bother to alarm the priests that they were no match for the new guys. Thus, they suffered. In fact, the main force laid back and let the secondary team deal with the priests and the divine soldiers.
