Feeling the rapidly expanding ball of lightning before him and the thunderous power it contained, Cyrus's eyes filled with curiosity.
"Two Hundred Million Volts: Amaru!"
Enel's furious voice echoed from within the sphere of lightning.
The expanding sphere of lightning then abruptly changed its form.
A giant made of electricity replaced the sphere.
'Was this Enel's Logia Type Awakening?'
Cyrus's eyes were fixed on Enel's current form as he speculated.
He looked up at the sky.
As if drawn by Enel's technique, countless tiny arcs of electricity flickered in and out of existence in the surrounding air.
In the sky, thunderclouds were also reconverging.
Perhaps he could find a way to further advance the Flame-Flame Fruit from Enel.
The development of his Flame-Flame Fruit had been stuck at the "complete control" stage for a long time.
Of course, in terms of Devil Fruit development, this wasn't actually a long time.
But Cyrus himself was dissatisfied, as it had been a long while since he'd made any progress.
In other words, his Devil Fruit development had also hit a bottleneck.
Did he have to activate Unbending again to try and find a solution?
Setting aside whether it would succeed, it wasn't easy for him to actively activate Unbending now.
With his current physique, if he just stood still and let others hack at him, he might not even lose health faster than he could regenerate it.
As for finding an expert, Hawkeye or Issho?
Cyrus didn't want to face their strange looks.
The Enel before him was a decent opponent. He could just mess around with this guy using only his Devil Fruit Ability.
With this in mind, Cyrus swung his arm back, and the sword he had been holding flew toward the ship.
Hawkeye raised a hand and caught the sword Cyrus had thrown back.
He glanced down at it with a puzzled expression, then turned to Robin.
"Cyrus probably has some idea in mind."
Seeing the confusion on Hawkeye's face, Robin took the sword from him and said helplessly.
Based on her understanding of Cyrus, this was likely the reason he had thrown the sword back.
"Get back. It's going to get a little loud in a moment." Cyrus's voice rang out.
The three on the ship had no intention of disobeying.
Issho directly used his ability to move the ship away.
Enveloped in crackling electricity, Enel, like a giant of thunder, turned his furious eyes toward the retreating ship.
He hadn't forgotten what Hawkeye and Issho had done to him just now.
Now that he had used his Amaru technique, Enel was clearly getting cocky again.
He pulled back his left fist, aiming at the departing ship.
Boom!
With a flash of lightning, the fist made of thunder shot out, extending.
"Torchlight!"
Boom!
A wide wall of fire erupted from the ground, blocking the thunderous punch.
A sword made of pure flame was now held in Cyrus's hand.
The burning wall of fire collided with the fist of thunder, causing a massive explosion.
A large hole was blasted through the Flowing wall of Flame.
In an instant, the flames refilled the gap, repairing the hole.
Flames coiled around his body as Cyrus's figure floated up, leveling his gaze with the giant-formed Enel.
"Your opponent right now is me," Cyrus said, his tone calm.
The response was a massive ball of lightning that struck Cyrus head-on.
Enel's punch shattered Cyrus's body into a sky full of sparks of fire.
The scattered sparks, far from extinguishing, continued to burn in the air as if there were some kind of accelerant present.
In the blink of an eye, a giant fireball floated in mid-air.
The fireball was no smaller than Enel in his Amaru form.
It was as if an orange-red sun had suddenly appeared in the sky.
The high temperature baked God's Island below.
The moisture in the plants evaporated rapidly, and they turned withered and yellow.
Enel, witnessing this scene, stared with wide eyes.
It was also the power of a Logia Type.
His was lightning, and this guy before him was actually flame.
"Fire Fist!"
Cyrus's voice suddenly boomed from within the fireball.
A giant fist condensed from flame flew out of the fireball, smashing straight into Amaru's face.
Boom!
Half of its face was blown apart by the punch.
Amidst the crackling electricity, Enel's face was rapidly regenerating.
Boom!
Another punch.
This one struck Enel's chest, causing another massive explosion.
A large hole was blasted through Enel's chest.
Enel retreated, trying to lock onto Cyrus's position with his Mantra.
But within the flames, there was only Cyrus's presence, yet he couldn't pinpoint him.
It was as if the entire fireball was Cyrus himself.
On the other islands of Sky Island, everyone stared blankly in the direction of God's Island.
There, a scorching fireball floated in the sky, attacking a giant of thunder.
"It's those people!"
Gan Fall, riding his bird-like horse, watched the clash of flame and lightning in horror.
He thought of the ship that had headed toward God's Island from the sky not long ago.
There was no one like this on Sky Island; they had to be powerhouses from the Blue Sea.
Could it be that they could defeat Enel?
Gan Fall was filled with a mix of anticipation and worry.
On the edge of God's Island, Issho used gravity to move the ship over, and the three of them watched the situation on the battlefield.
Hawkeye had also stood up, his eyes fixed on the clash between the two Logia Type ability users.
Flame and lightning were both Logia Types.
He had just tested Enel of the lightning.
His Devil Fruit Ability was very strong, but he himself had probably focused too much on his ability and had never fought anyone on his level, so his combat experience was lacking.
But Cyrus was different.
From their brief clash back in Alabasta, Cyrus had given him a very threatening feeling in the end.
A serious Cyrus would definitely not be in a situation like this.
He just didn't know what Cyrus was planning to do.
"He plans to defeat this Enel using only his Devil Fruit Ability!" Issho said in a calm tone.
"Cyrus probably wants to crush this man's confidence, or rather, his pride," Robin guessed.
From Cyrus's actions, she had figured out his intentions.
Fists of flame and the thunder giant collided.
This was the first time he had purely unleashed his ability like this.
Most of his previous uses had been mixed with many other things.
Now, the two of them were purely competing to see who could last longer.
Because with every collision, both sides would consume a considerable amount of stamina.
But Enel's physique was truly nothing in front of Cyrus.
However, it was unnecessary for Cyrus to construct a concrete form with his ability like Enel.
But it wasn't that he couldn't.
Amidst the clash, the fireball grew larger and larger.
With each explosion after a clash, the fireball, instead of shrinking, grew bigger.
The massive fireball floated in the sky, almost touching the thunderclouds above.
Countless bolts of lightning struck the fireball, like a clay ox entering the sea, the small explosions unable to cause even a ripple on its surface.
Only when fires started to appear all over God's Island below did Cyrus stop.
The massive fireball, which had swelled to a size comparable to God's Island below, rapidly shrank.
"Great Flame Commandment: Flame Emperor!"
Cyrus's body appeared.
Above his head, in his raised fist, a condensed fireball spun rapidly, at an extreme speed.
The surrounding space distorted under the scorching flames.
The already tattered Enel looked at the fireball Cyrus held aloft.
The terrifyingly high temperature and the threat of death rushed toward him!
