Chapter 175: The Consequence of Power
A bare-chested child is formed from the electric light. The boy had earlobes that reached his chest and a head of curly golden hair.
"What is happening to me?" Enel exclaimed, staring in disbelief at the palms of his hands, where small blue electric currents were jumping back and forth. It had all happened too fast.
"Awesome!"
"This extraordinary skill is amazing!"
This boy, who was just sixteen years old, is now extremely happy. As an orphan, he has been despised by people on the island for many years.
He had fantasized more than once about having superhuman powers to become someone important on the island, living in a big, beautiful house, eating exquisitely prepared food, wearing clean clothes and, if possible, buying a Waver to sail at high speed across the White Sea.
"I have to go back and show Bull and the others! They'll be jealous of me for sure, and those idiots won't dare to look down on me anymore!"
Enel turned into an electric light again, but this time calmer. He began to control his ability, discovering that he could slow down.
Adjusting his speed, he was soon able to observe his surroundings clearly. Although not as fast as before, it was still much faster than running on foot and in an instant he was back in the bustling city.
However, the city was no longer as peaceful and beautiful as before. A tense and sorrowful atmosphere now reigned. Laughter and cries of joy had been replaced by heart-rending wailing.
A large number of people gathered on the street, crying around their relatives and friends on the ground.
