Biography
Enel (Japanese: エネル, Hepburn: Eneru)
Eight years ago, Enel and his loyal contingent of followers overthrew the then current ruler of Skypiea Gan Fall thus becoming the island's new ruler. Enel maintained a personality cult over Skypiea, truly taking the mantle of 'god' to its more literal sense. Though Skypiea still had a sense of peace and paradise, much like in any classic dystopia, it was a false paradise. If anyone dared speak out against Enel, or challenge his list of commandments, he would shoot a giant column of lightning down from the sky to effectively eliminate the dissenter. When a man illegally set foot on Upper Yard, Enel unleashed a massive thunderbolt that consumed him at the edge of the island.
Later, Enel overheard the Skypiean Conis revealing to Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji on Angel Island that she had had their crewmates sent to the Sacrificial Altar for their intrusion, and he unleashed his judgement on her, though she was saved by Gan Fall. As night fell, Enel summoned his priests. Gedatsu, Ohm, and Shura began squabbling and sparring as soon as they arrived at God's Shrine, and Enel spun in and attacked them before settling in. He told them that the intruders were searching for gold on Upper Yard and that the Shandians would attack again tomorrow, so he gave them permission to roam the island as they liked, as the Maxim had been completed and they would soon prepare to depart for the Fairy Vearth. The next morning, Enel told the enslaved Divine Squad his plan to destroy Skypiea, and when they revolted against him, he took them all out. One of Enel's men reported that his priests and Divine Soldiers had gone down to Upper Yard. Enel had high expectations for the upcoming battle, and predicted that only five fighters would remain standing after three hours. Soon afterwards, Enel observed that Shura had been defeated, but the downfall of two of his priests in rapid succession only made him laugh. Enel then went to the Milky Road and came to the Going Merry, the ship of the intruder Straw Hat Pirates where Gan Fall was. Sanji attempted to attack him, but Enel quickly dispatched him. Usopp loudly fretted over Sanji, causing Enel to electrocute him as well, and Gan Fall wondered why he had come. Enel replied that he was bidding farewell to Upper Yard and mentioned the long-lost gold of Shandora, laughing at the thought that the winner of this fight would dream of reaching it. He then went off to join the fighting.
Enel went near the beanstalk Giant Jack by Shandora, and Kamakiri and another Shandian warrior approached him on the Milky Road. Enel took out the latter and confronted the former, saying he would display God's power by not attacking or dodging for five minutes. Enel phased through all of Kamakiri's attacks with his Devil Fruit, and Kamakiri suffered electrical damage in the process. After five minutes passed, Enel went on the attack, and Kamakiri tried running away to warn his leader Wyper. However, Enel quickly caught up to him and discharged a million volts, defeating him as well as around 20 other fighters who were on the Milky Road. Enel then encountered another Shandian warrior who attempted to attack him, but he quickly appeared behind the warrior and incapacitated him. Enel watched from his perch as the remaining fighters headed up toward Shandora's Upper Ruins, and happily waited for them to reduce their numbers more. When Raki warned Wyper in Shandora about Kamakiri's defeat, Enel went up and confronted her. She tried shooting him, and the shots passed through his body. Enel then took out Raki and mocked Wyper for his naivete before disappearing. He went to the ruins of Shandora and confronted Nico Robin, who was the first person to reach them after him. He revealed that he had already taken all the gold, but did not recognize the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell that Robin mentioned. Ascertaining that the Bell was indeed somewhere on this island, Enel decided to look for it after the survival game concluded. He then overheard one of his escaped prisoners on the coast of Upper Yard revealing his plan to destroy Skypiea, and he sent a thunderbolt to try to take him out. After that, he shot lightning up Giant Jack to destroy the Upper Ruins, sending them and the fighters there crashing down below for the final act of his game.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Enel was a pale-skinned man with a well-toned yet somewhat wiry build, standing very tall at 266cm (8'9"). He had a slim face, usually seen with a relaxed, half-lidded expression accentuated by a calm, confident smile. He had blond hair that is set in a large perm, albeit always tucked under a close-fitting, white skullcap. His eyebrows are contrastively black, rather thick, and top grayish-blue eyes with prominent bottom lashes. His nose was slim with a marked, flat bridge that has several lines run horizontally across it.
Enel had no actual care for his subordinates, and he had no problems with killing his followers either. In addition, while predicting the victims of the Survival Game, he had no pity for his fallen people.
Despite these traits, he was shown to gives some level of recognition to opponents. He was impressed with Robin's knowledge of the golden city, and he told Luffy that he was very courageous when he met him on the ark.
Powers and abilities
He came to consume the Goro Goro no Mi (ゴロゴロの実, Rumble-Rumble Fruit) that was a Logia (自然ロギア系, Rogia-kei) type Devil Fruit (悪魔の実, Akuma no Mi). This turned him into a Lightning Human (雷人間, Kaminari Ningen?) that granted him the power to create, control, and become lightning at will. This allowed him to discharge varying amounts of electricity from their body to manipulate as they please, including regulating the voltage: 200 million volts being the maximum output.
Among the techniques known to him included:
- El Thor (神の裁きエル･トール, Eru Tōru?, literally meaning "God's Judgment") :
- Vari (放電ヴァーリー, Vārī?, literally meaning "Electric Discharge") :
- Sango (稲妻サンゴ, Sango?, literally meaning "Lightning Flash") :
