At the climax of the Skypiea arc, Thunder God Enel is defeated by Luffy’s rubber-and-gold punch. The Ark Maxim breaks apart with a roar, and instead of flying to the moon, Enel plummets toward the blue sea ten thousand meters below. Seawater floods his lungs, triggering a backlash from his powers. His shattered organs leave the god who ruled Skypiea for six hundred years a dying mortal, able to command only thirty percent of his lightning power.
His former arrogance becomes an endurance carved into his bones. Enel lies low and trains in Falling Star Village in the East Blue, then sets out in search of a renowned doctor. Along the way, he saves Lina, a wandering ship’s doctor; Karu, a shipwright prodigy; and Sophie, a navigator held captive. When the Marines surround and pursue them, he smashes open a prison to free Crocodile, then wins the former Shichibukai’s allegiance as his first mate through sheer strength.
The Thunder God Pirates sail the Thunder Shadow into the Grand Line. Kizaru’s golden light cannot stop the surging thunder, and Gecko Moria’s shadows vanish in the storm. Enel steadily regains his former peak and awakens the ultimate power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. He takes on a Marine Admiral single-handedly, tramples the territory of the Four Emperors, and sweeps aside every obstacle with thunder. No longer content with his place as a god of Skypiea, he vows to make the name of the Thunder God ring across the entire sea and become the true ruler of the pirate world.
