One Piece: Reborn as Enel

_________ POV Narration_________

Enel travelled from cloud to cloud, looking for his destination. The first thing he quickly needed to do, was to look for a certain pirate.

Jewellery Bonney was technically not supposed to be kidnapped anymore, but Enel wanted to make sure nothing bad would happen.

Blackbeard was dead, but Enel also knew that Bonney was far from being prepared to venture into the New World, much like the rest of the Worst Generation.

He knew that, as long as she was allowed to roam around the world freely, then the world government had the possibility to get their hands on her.

He simply couldn't allow something like that to happen, so he simply started jumping from cloud to cloud, heading directly towards the beginning of the New World.

Enel spent a few hours travelling like that, he sunk a few pirate ships out of boredom, sniping them with lightning from the clouds.

In the end, he finally caught sight of Jewelry Bonney, surprisingly though, she was not on her own ship...

Bonney had set sail with her crew right after watching the war from Sabaody Archipelago. She had thankfully managed to hide from the marines that had stormed the island after Luffy's attack on a Celestial Dragon.

She also got to experience the war in all of its glory, finding out more about how strong people could get in the world.

Despite her age and fruit, she was still not that accustomed to the world's powers. She knew about them, but she had rarely gotten to see them in action.

Still, she felt that she was prepared to go further into the New World, to grow stronger in her journey.

Unfortunately for her, the timing she chose couldn't have been worse, as the Marines were currently moving base to Mary Geoise, which just so happened to be extremely close to Sabaody...

The moment she set sail, she was quickly followed by four different marine warships kitted to sail on the Calm Belt at speeds far greater than her own ship.

She also had just gotten her ship coated, and a stray cannonball from a Marine Ship had both ruined her coating and made her completely unable to go to Fishman Island by extension.

She could only curse loudly as she was forced to sail further and further into the New World, going in blind as the Marine ships seemed to trail closely behind her.

And, suddenly. Just when she thought they had a chance to escape, another ship came along, right in front of her.

Being disoriented by the odd weather of the Grand Line, and not having a set direction she could go towards, she had ended up going somewhat towards the former Marine Base, Marineford.

And, just as she was shouting orders to turn the ship around... The entire sea froze solid, completely trapping her ship as a tall figure started making its way towards her ship.

'Fuck me this isn't happening...' Bonney could instantly recognize the person.

It was none other than Aokiji, the admiral that had played a huge role during Marineford, also considered the one to have managed to stop the Sky King's devastating attack on the marine base...

Aokiji was credited as the one to have routed Enel during the war, but the Ice Admiral knew better, as he had been completely unable to freeze the snake and had even gotten trapped within it.

However, the rest of the world didn't need to know that.

The world government did their best to rationalize that the marines had done fought the hardest during the war and that the pirates had escaped through sheer luck.

Making Aokiji the hero of said war was a way to take some attention away from the fact that it was a complete loss for the marines.

Still, now Bonney had to somehow face off against the supposed 'Hero of the Summit War', who also happened to be an Admiral and someone that could freeze the sea instantly.

The situation developed about as most people would've expected it to. Aokiji froze most of her crew alive and captured her, as she was a 'special prisoner' that was only wanted alive by the world government.

Bonney was brought on the ship, guarded by Aokiji as they started making their way for the Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons once more...

That was about the time Enel flew into the frame, zipping around in the clouds as he observed the situation below him.

He could tell that Aokiji was present, but beside him, there were also a few Rear Admirals and even two Vice Admirals.

There were also four other warships nearby, which were turning away to continue heading for Mary Geoise.

Enel decided on a course of action rather quickly.

'I can't let the World Government get their hands on her...'

He quickly turned into a bolt of lightning and hit their Bowsprit directly, breaking it off completely as Enel stepped onto the Deck with a calm smile.

The marines were immediately alarmed, as there were not even any storm clouds around when the lightning hit their ship.

The actual panic set in when seeing who had attacked them.

"IT'S FORMER REAR ADMIRAL ENEL!" Many of the marines had yet to start calling Enel by his epithet of 'Sky King'.

The betrayal was still fresh, and many had considered him a true marine in the short time he had been with them.

Seeing him freely attack a Marine Warship right after Marineford was not something they had expected... It also wasn't something anyone on board wanted.

The marines quickly formed a circle around Enel, grasping at their weapons in desperation, as Enel simply smiled at them.

Even the Rear Admirals panicked in the same way as the regular soldiers, only the Vice Admirals and Aokiji himself were keeping their cool.

'He must want something...' Aokiji stepped forward, raising his arm and signalling his men to back off for now.

"Sky King Enel... To what do we owe the pleasure..." At this point, Aokiji knew that fighting Enel while at sea was simply impossible.

A stray lighting beam from Enel would likely sink their ship instantly.

They were in the middle of the sea, Aokiji was rather confident in fighting Enel, as he was an Admiral. But he knew his crewmates would all most likely die in the process.

Wanting to save his crew, Aokiji decided to take a diplomatic approach for now.

"Aokiji, great to see you again, actually!" Enel said as he patted the dust off of his clothes and tattered cape.

"As you might've guessed, I am here because I need something from this ship," Enel said as he crossed his arms and looked at the marines with a smile.

Aokiji could tell that Enel's words were rousing anger in the marines around them, many of them felt that Enel shouldn't even have the guts to show up near the marines anymore, seeing him come to them and ask for something felt insulting to them.

Aokiji didn't seem bothered by it, he just hoped that the rest of the marines wouldn't act in anger and get themselves killed.

Although the world government didn't like to admit it, Enel was currently an Emperor. So Aokiji knew he needed to handle the situation delicately.

They simply couldn't afford a war with Enel so soon after Marineford.

"And what might that be? We aren't carrying any special cargo to speak of..." Aokiji said as he realized that Enel was most likely referring to Jewelry Bonney, the woman that the World Government wanted for undisclosed reasons.

"Oh, no need to be coy about it, Aokiji. Bonney comes with me, and I'll leave you all alone. That's it, I don't need anything more and I don't want to kill anyone to prove a point." Enel said as he sighed a bit.

He hoped that his request would be fulfilled, but he knew that it was unlikely judging by the reactions of the marines around Aokiji.

"... Fine" Surprisingly, the Ice Admiral agreed instantly, shocking his subordinates instantly.

"A-Admiral Aokiji! We can't accept the demands of this criminal!" A Rear Admiral said as he looked at Enel with pure anger in his gaze.

"Y-yes! He has no right to ask us for anything!" More and more marines joined in, voicing their distaste for Aokiji's decision.

Honestly, if any other of the Admirals were here, they would've fought Enel without caring about the rest of the crew.

But Aokiji also didn't happen to put a lot of value on the request of the 5 Elders to bring Bonney in.

To him, giving a pirate with a low bounty away for the life of his crewmates was a great trade-off.

But still, with so many people voicing out their distaste, they were at an impasse. Aokiji sweated a bit as he wondered what to do next...
