Enel

Pale and unusually tall at nearly nine feet, Enel carries a lean, wiry frame and a narrow face fixed in a serene, half-lidded smirk. His permed blond hair stays hidden beneath a snug white skullcap, while thick black brows sit above pale eyes lined with heavy lower lashes. In a nod to Buddhist iconography his earlobes droop to his chest, dragged down by diamond-pendant earrings. A large gray ring is fixed into his shoulder blades, supporting four wooden drums set around his head that he strikes to channel his electricity, evoking the thunder god Raijin. Fond of gold, he wears banded bracelets, ankle ornaments, and toe rings, going bare above the waist with only a flowing sash and a draped wraparound skirt over voluminous, brightly patterned baggy trousers.

Enel is convinced he is an invincible, immortal deity entitled to seize or destroy anything he wishes. Fearless, childish, and bottomlessly arrogant, he values no life but his own and treats mass slaughter as a divine right, cackling as he tried to wipe out Skypiea. His days pass in hedonistic ease, sleeping, eating, and being waited upon, and he carries that same boredom into combat, soaking up attacks and toying with foes rather than fighting in earnest. Because his confidence runs so deep, the unexpected unhinges him completely: facing Luffy's immunity to lightning left him visibly terrified and disrupted his Mantra. For all his cruelty he can still acknowledge a worthy opponent, praising Robin's learning and Luffy's nerve. He proclaims that fear itself is God and rotates between three different words for I as he speaks.

Born on the sky island of Birka, Enel felt no attachment to it and obliterated the place once he found and ate the Goro Goro no Mi, salvaging two hundred Jet Dials first. Eight years before the present, he and his loyalists toppled Skypiea's God, Gan Fall, and he installed himself as the new God, ruling through terror and smiting anyone who defied his commandments. Studying Upper Yard's ruins convinced him the moon was the fabled Fairy Vearth, so he forced laborers to build the colossal flying ark Maxim for the journey. When the Straw Hats intruded, he orchestrated a survival game across Upper Yard, pitting Shandia against Skypieans and cutting down warrior after warrior, from Kamakiri to Raki, while his lightning powers made him seem unbeatable. Wyper briefly stopped his heart with a Reject Dial, but Enel simply jolted it back to life. His undoing came when Luffy, immune to electricity thanks to his rubber body, boarded the rising Maxim. Even after unleashing the island-destroying Raigo upon Angel Island, Enel could not predict Luffy's survival; Luffy used a gold orb to ground the lightning and drove it into Enel, sending him crashing into the golden bell. Enel revived the ark and finally departed for the moon, where in his cover-story epilogue he battled space pirates, awakened ancient automata, discovered a buried lunar city also named Birka, and crowned himself ruler of a new empire with the machines as his subjects.
