Chapter 47: Departure and Conflict
Chapter 47: Departure and Conflict
_________ POV Narration_________
When seeing how the Cipher Pol was involved, Enel decided to spend a few more days on Dressrosa.
King Doldo obviously gave him a room in the castle, and Oven was also allowed to basically do whatever he wanted, as he was considered Enel's comrade at this point.
Oven and Kyros were basically sparring partners now. Oven was obviously stronger, but it seemed that Kyros was improving really quickly thanks to his new leg.
Enel had technically created a work of art that would fascinate most researchers. Still, he knew that it had plenty of areas where it could be improved upon.
And Enel really didn't think it was that special either, as he had seen others in the series turn themselves fully into cyborgs...
Regardless of that, some other things had been happening in regards to the Dressrosa Cleanup.
Enel had closely observed the CP0 agents without holding back at all. He had basically kept his eyes on them at all times.
Enel only slept around 4 hours per night, so it wasn't hard for him to keep a close watch on the agents.
Still, Enel decided not to stop them from taking Doflamingo's body, nor did he stop them from planting some random pieces of evidence.
He realized what they were doing eventually, and he honestly didn't care if the World Government tried to hide the matter right now, as he already had plans on how to use this coverup in the future.
He obviously took pictures of the two agents in the act of planting evidence. The agents weren't able to spot him, as he was basically standing on the clouds while doing that.
Still, Enel knew that his stay on Dressrosa needed to come to an end soon. This fact was amplified by the moment he heard that the Straw Hat pirates had successfully raided Enies Lobby and escaped from a buster call all in the same day.
This was a reminder to Enel, that Ace's capture was getting closer and closer. And the war was most likely going to begin by the time he finally returned to Marineford...
So, he decided that it would be for the better to continue on with his journey to the Cake Islands.
Oven seemed to be a little reluctant to leave, but he was also rather eager to get back to his family. He and Kyros shook hands with a deep nod, a promise to likely meet again and spar in the future.
Enel also shook hands with King Doldo, took a small bow and took a few steps, only to run into Viola... The person he was not exactly most excited to meet during his departure.
"Enel... So I guess this is it, huh?" She asked, twidling her thumbs a bit. She was dressed in a more royal dress, a deep blue that seemed to match rather well with Enel's own costume.
"I do have a mission to carry out..." Enel said with a small nod.
He and Viola hadn't spent much time together since that fateful day. Enel was rather busy spying on the agents and commanding the cleanup process of Dressrosa.
The princess herself was also rather busy with her own family matters. The only free time she had, she had spent it sleeping.
She remembered sometimes passing by Enel's room during the night, only to see the light still on. But she was a bit too anxious to walk in, maybe it was due to tiredness? Maybe she just didn't want to bother him, as he was likely working deep into the night...
But still, their interactions were few and far between. Which made Viola feel like their relationship wasn't quite what she wanted it to be.
"I see..." Viola said as she looked at the ground for a bit.
A weird frown found its way to Enel's face as he noticed her mood. In the end, he sighed and hugged the princess without much buildup. It was sudden, he only embraced her tightly for one second, then started walking off.
Viola was flabbergasted for that one second, before smiling and looking at Enel's back with a smile.
"Don't forget to come and visit me when you're done!" She shouted as Enel's back disappeared in the distance.
She couldn't hear if Enel responded, and she couldn't see if he had nodded. She was caught in her own world for a bit, before continuing with her work.
Enel and Oven made their way to the docks, their presence was rather well received by all of the civilians.
The two of them then passed by the two CP0 agents, as Enel had taken this route specifically to run into them.
They seemed flabbergasted when seeing a supposed prisoner, walking around freely looking as healthy as ever, sporting an expensive-looking golden pegleg, and not shackled by anything at all.
They were startled at first, but then they decide to use that as a reason to finally test Enel's strength.
The two of them were quick to hide in an alleyway and change into clothes more appropriate for their ranks, finally ditching their recruit disguises and wearing white tuxedos with white coats.
They also put their masks on, each wore a different coloured wooden mask, to hide their identity.
Enel smiled when feeling that, knowing that they were about to do something that could be classified as stupid.
"Rear Admiral Enel!" Enel and Oven turned around when hearing that shout from behind them, Oven was a bit confused, but he didn't think much of it as he figured Enel already knew about them beforehand.
"What is the meaning of this?! You are prancing around with a well-known pirate in the middle of the streets! Are you betraying the marines?!" The two agents made it a point to sound as disgusted as possible as they took their fighting stances.
One of them took out a sword, a long katana that seemed to be just as tall as him, so around 2 meters. And the other took out a chain and a sickle, it was clearly long, the agent spun the sickle above his head with rather impressive skill.
Oven just raised an eyebrow at the weirdos in front of him. He didn't for one second think that they were an issue to Enel.
If anything, the fact that they were using metal weapons meant that they were genuinely unintelligent.
"Well, strange interlopers that don't know how to introduce themselves, this man here is my prisoner... I have a mission given by Fleet Admiral Sengoku himself, and I didn't receive specifications on the way I should transport him..."
Enel said as he glanced at the two agents with an amused smile.
'I've seen better acting in porn opera...' Was the thought going through his head.
"That doesn't matter, you are transporting a devil fruit using prisoner! Where are the seastone shackles you received?!" The agents asked while they prepared to pounce.
Enel, at this point, was about to burst out laughing.
Oven just scratched the back of his head for a bit, looking at his pegleg for a bit, before an idea rose to his mind.
"Well, Rear Admiral Enel has control over metals, as you two must know already..." Oven started saying, gaining the attention of the agents instantly.
"He made this pegleg using his gold, the moment I misbehave it will wrap me up like a candy bar..." Oven said while staring at the ground.
Meanwhile, Enel was contemplating those words. 'You really think I'd use that much gold for your pegleg?!'
"Reasoning with them is a waste of time," Enel said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Oven ended up shrugging his shoulder and looking to the side, pouting a bit.
The two agents both dashed toward Enel, weapons slicing towards Enel at breakneck speeds.
Enel simply grabbed both of their blades with his blackened gauntleted hands. The two CP0 agents smiled underneath their masks, as they felt their blades start to cut into Enel's gauntlets.
But that smile didn't last long, as both of their blades were instantly splattered into blobs of metal, leaving the two agents looking flabbergasted at what remained of their weapons.
And, from a single moment of carelessness, Enel grabbed both of their heads and slammed them into the ground with enough force to send Oven flying a bit.
He dusted his hands after slamming them into the ground, then looked at Oven, who was wincing a bit.
"Let's get going!" Enel said as he started walking towards the docks again.
Oven ended up just shrugging, stepping over the unconscious agents without even looking at them twice, and continuing with his way.
'Yeah... That went about as I expected it to...' Oven thought to himself while whistling a bit.
