"The user of the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel, and the user of the Mythical Zoan Thunder Lizard Devil Fruit, Wiper. Known as the Thunder Twins of the Fire Tank Pirates. In the battle on Fear Island, the two of them worked together to hold off Admiral Kizaru," Stussy said, her eyes narrowed and her expression grave.
"I also read Morgans's news report, the one he wrote himself," the Loan Shark King said in a low voice. "It was about these two. In his report, he said that this Enel has the potential of an Admiral. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is one of the most powerful Logia types, on par with the Devil Fruits of the three Marine Admirals. He definitely has Admiral potential."
"And Thunder Beast Wiper's Mythical Zoan Thunder Lizard Devil Fruit was actually the Devil Fruit of the former Marine Admiral Raymond. And interestingly enough, that Admiral Raymond's epithet was also 'Thunder Beast.' To some extent, you could say that this Wiper also has Admiral potential."
"Two young men with Admiral-level potential... the potential of the Fire Tank Pirates is beyond imagination," the Undertaker's voice grew even deeper.
"Hehehe, Wiper, did you hear that? I guess everyone knows we have Admiral potential now," Enel said with a laugh.
Wiper crossed his arms, his expression cool and calm. "Enel, are you really getting proud over a mere title? The Godfather already told us, Admiral potential is just potential. If you don't grow into it, it's nothing but a pile of crap. My goal is to become a real Admiral. Mere potential isn't enough to satisfy me."
Enel pouted. "Tch. You think I don't know that? I've always kept the Godfather's words in my heart. If you want to be an Admiral, go ahead. I'm going to be the strongest warrior under the Godfather. Hehehe, I'll definitely be stronger than you."
"I can't talk to you. We're here on business," Wiper snorted, his gaze shifting to the three underworld kings.
Enel slammed his golden staff on the deck, his eyes instantly turning sharp.
"Right. Business first."
The crew members on the deck immediately surrounded them, their expressions wary.
The Loan Shark King laughed. "You two captains of the Fire Tank Pirates, we're not here to cause trouble. I am the Loan Shark King of the underworld, Du Feld. This is Giberson the Undertaker, and she is the Queen of the Pleasure Quarter, Stussy. We're here to see Demon Dragon on business."
"The three kings of the underworld," Wiper said, his brow furrowed.
"I don't care if you're the three kings of the underworld or not. You're the ones who injured the Sea Patrolling Beast, right?" Enel said with a cold snort.
"That... was not our intention. It attacked our ship first. We had no choice but to repel it," the Loan Shark King said, his expression faltering for a moment before he put on a smile again.
"No choice but to repel it? That Sea Patrolling Beast was almost killed, and you call that 'no choice'?" Lightning crackled around Enel's body as his eyes swept over them.
"I'm the one who injured that Sea King. What are you going to do about it?" the Undertaker said, stepping forward. The scent of blood coming from him was extremely unsettling.
"Hehehe, I want to see just how capable a king of the underworld really is," Enel said. He vanished in a flash, shooting toward the Undertaker like a bolt of lightning.
The two of them collided in an instant, and lightning shot out in all directions. The Undertaker was sent flying, and Enel, as a bolt of lightning, pursued him.
The men on the deck, especially the Undertaker's subordinates, immediately moved to intervene, but a wall of lightning appeared in front of them.
"All of you, stay put. Don't make this a bigger deal than it needs to be," Wiper said, crossing his arms. Lightning surged around his body, and the image of a giant thunder lizard formed behind him, the destructive aura it radiated intimidating everyone.
"Thunder Beast Wiper, are you trying to start a war?" the Loan Shark King said, his face extremely ugly.
"Don't say that. Enel just has a bad temper and needs to blow off some steam. He just wants to spar with the Undertaker, that's all," Wiper said nonchalantly.
"Let them spar. I'm sure they won't cause too much trouble for Demon Dragon," Stussy said with a light laugh.
Wiper gave her an impassive glance before turning his attention back to the two fighters.
The Undertaker's strength was indeed impressive. With a swing of his scythe, he unleashed a slash that tore through the air, as swift and powerful as a swordsman's. It cut through Enel's lightning and shot straight for him.
Lightning surged around Enel's golden staff as he smashed the slash apart. He transformed into lightning, his speed reaching its peak, and appeared behind the Undertaker in an instant, his staff swinging down like a thunderbolt.
The Undertaker's expression changed. He instantly coated his hand in Armament Haki and reached back, catching the golden staff. The scythe in his other hand was also coated in Haki, and he swung it at Enel as he spun around.
A terrifying cutting force rushed toward Enel.
Enel caught the scythe with his Haki-clad left hand, and black lightning raged between them.
"This ends now," the Undertaker said in a low voice.
"What's the hurry?" Enel said with a cold smile. Lightning surged from his body, and a violent torrent of electricity shot toward the Undertaker.
The Undertaker's expression changed again. He coated his right foot in Armament Haki and kicked Enel, causing his body to explode into a shower of lightning.
Arcs of electricity flickered across the Undertaker's body. He trembled slightly, his face growing even darker, and the scent of blood around him intensified.
Just then, a bolt of lightning shot toward him. He swung his scythe, unleashing a series of slashes that tore through the air.
Enel's figure appeared within the lightning. He swung his golden staff, which was surging with electricity. The lightning and the slashes all shattered on impact, and the scythe and the staff collided with a deafening roar. A shockwave erupted from the point of impact, blasting the people on the deck away. Some were even thrown overboard into the sea.
The deck beneath their feet began to crack, the fissures spreading across the entire ship until the whole vessel was covered in fractures.
"That's enough," a cool voice said. Stussy stepped forward, a smile on her face. "If you two keep fighting, this ship is going to fall apart."
The Undertaker coldly retracted his scythe. Enel still looked like he wanted to continue.
"Enel, stop," Wiper said nonchalantly. "They're here to see the Godfather, after all. Let them see him first. Maybe you'll have another chance to fight later."
A glint appeared in Enel's eyes. He put away his golden staff and looked at the Undertaker with a grin. "You're not bad. No wonder you're a king of the underworld."
"But only 'not bad'."
That last sentence made the Undertaker's face even uglier.
"Follow our ship. I'll take you to see the Godfather," Wiper said, his gaze sweeping over Stussy and the Loan Shark King.
He and Enel then transformed into lightning and flew back to their own ship.
"That brat is really strong," the Undertaker said, shouldering his scythe, his voice grim. "Du Feld, I'm starting to regret coming here with you."
The Loan Shark King's face was also extremely ugly. He was beginning to worry that his goal for this trip would be difficult to achieve.
"What are you afraid of? The power of the underworld is vast and complex. Demon Dragon won't make an enemy of us so easily," Stussy said with a light laugh. She then looked at the Loan Shark King and said in a low, suggestive voice, "But it's also very possible that he won't give us any face. Du Feld, you'd better be prepared."
The Loan Shark King's face grew even darker. He rubbed the ring on his finger, his thoughts unreadable.
"Don't forget," he said, "you two have your own reasons for being here as well."
