_________ POV Narration __________
The cleanup didn't really take that long, as the cabin itself wasn't all that large.
Bonney didn't do a lot to help, she was a bit concerned about there being only one bed though...
Enel left her in the cabin for a while, to be alone with her thoughts.
He wanted to go visit a few old friends for now...
In lightning form, he blitzed across the island and reached the middle of the largest city instantly.
Gan Fall had made his office in the middle of the city so the people would have the option of communicating with him by just going there.
Enel didn't bother much to hide his appearance or presence. He received plenty of odd and scared gazes.
He didn't really care though, only walking into the Mayor's building and asking for Gan Fall at the receptionist.
The woman was petrified to see Enel drop by there. To be exact, Enel actually had to cough a few times before she finally reacted and informed Gan Fall of his arrival.
The thought at the forefront of everyone's mind was that Enel was back, and he was going to try to take over leadership again...
No one wanted that type of thing to happen. Not only was Enel a bad leader in general, but he was also a murderous psychopath with an actual god complex.
So, Enel could somewhat sympathize with the reactions he was getting. But that didn't mean he liked being treated as a ticking time bomb.
He knew that salvaging his public image on sky island would be difficult, but he still planned to do it at some point. Bit by bit, of course.
For now, the first step would be to let them all know that he was still there and that he wasn't exactly a threat to anyone.
But that wasn't his main focus on this outing, merely a side objective.
Enel just felt like seeing how Gan Fall was faring and how much Wyper had improved.
He could feel that the two of them were together in the Mayor's office, so he simply started walking there, stopping in front of the door for a second and knocking a bit.
Upon entering, he was instantly able to recognize Gan Fall and Wyper, although they had changed quite a bit.
Well, mostly Wyper had changed his clothing style entirely. Gan Fall was mostly the same, only looking a bit more tired than usual.
Wyper was now wearing a black formal suit, much like what Enel used to wear before his clothes got ruined.
He still had a large canon on his back, and his hairstyle hadn't changed all that much.
Still, his new look gained a smile from Enel.
"Hello there! I see you've taken after me, Wyper..." Enel covered his mouth with one of his gauntleted palms, covering the shit-eating grin that was spreading on his face.
"Enel!?" Wyper shouted with a bit of anger in his voice, something that made Enel a bit confused.
"Why'd you go off on your own without even saying goodbye?!" Wyper instantly walked over to Enel, pointing at the taller former marine's chest with a throbbing vein visible on his forehead.
"No need to get so angry about it. Not like I was away for a very long time..." Enel said as he waved one of his earlobes around dismissively.
"I can be as angry as I want! Bit of a warning would be nice next time you plan to fuck off for a few months!" Wyper huffed as he crossed his arms and went back to his place, standing behind Gan Fall while the old man was at his office.
He was officially made the God Gan Fall's personal guard, and he had been training non-stop in order to catch up to Enel.
The two of them had been sparring quite a bit before Enel left Sky Island to join the Marines.
Wyper hadn't really won any match, he had a slight advantage in skill at first, but that vanished quickly as Enel was a fast learner.
So, Wyper really wanted to have a rematch with his long-earlobed sparring partner.
"... It's good to see you've come back, Enel..." Gan Fall said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He was a lot calmer than Wyper regarding the entire situation.
"It's great to be back, what can I say?" A smile spread on Enel's lips as he looked around the room for a bit.
It was rather plainly decorated, it was pretty apparent that Gan Fall didn't hire any interior designer for his office.
"Has anything of note happened while I was away...?" Enel's gaze turned serious as he started asking some more pertinent questions.
He knew that he wasn't gone for a long time, so there was no need for some long reunion.
"Some people from below managed to find their way here... We are still unsure how, but they seemed to be oddly interested in the Shandia Clan's ruins from the Upper Yard." Gan Fall said as he put down a few pieces of paper on the table.
"Probably pirates, did you guys deal with them?" Enel asked as he crossed his legs and grabbed a cup of tea from the table.
Another vein rose on Wyper's forehead when seeing that. 'That's my cup, you dick!' But he didn't want to interrupt the conversation, so he held back.
"Wyper managed to subdue them. They are currently still captured, but they didn't disclose the means they used to reach us..." Enel nodded when hearing that.
'It's a good thing they were captured... I had forgotten that people from below could still travel up here.
I think Bellamy had managed to do that and steal some gold in the original story... But he should've been imprisoned, so it likely wasn't him this time around.'
Enel rubbed his chin with one hand as he pondered a bit more about what methods people could use to reach Sky Island.
He knew that it was technically possible if one was able to fly. But the sea of clouds would turn any Devil Fruit user into a sinking rock if they attempted to jump to the sky islands.
Enel wasn't exactly worried though... As he had plenty of plans on how to proceed if people actually found the Sky Islands.
It wasn't as if that was never a possibility in his mind, but having his main base of operations discovered so quickly was rather annoying...
"I'll visit the prisoners at some point... Do make sure to keep an eye on them." Enel eventually said as he wondered how he'd go about interrogating the 'visitors'.
"Good. Besides that, I've been doing my best to prepare our islands for outsiders attacking us at any point since you left. I don't really know what you've been doing, but I wanted to be safe." Gan Fall said as Enel raised an eyebrow.
'I guess he didn't want to just leave things up to me... Well, a bit of preparedness is never bad for you.'
"It's a good thing that you've decided to take precautions... Here, this will certainly be helpful to you." Enel handed Gan Fall 6 small booklets, the same books that Sengoku had given him upon joining the Marines.
Gan Fall grabbed one of them and pursued it for a few seconds, smiling a bit as he said "Interesting... If all techniques you've provided are this useful, then it is sure to bolster our strength..."
Gan Fall had only picked up the book for Tekkai, and had only gotten to read a brief explanation of the technique's effects, and he was already impressed.
"Yes, but it will certainly take a few years for people to learn them..." Enel said as he shook his head a bit.
"Still, I expect us to have a trained squad with enough mastery in at least 3 of those skills within the next 2 years..." Enel continued as he shrugged a bit and hoped for the best.
"That should be possible. The training regime will certainly be a harsh one though..." Gan Fall said as he started looking through a few more books.
"Well, this will be a special squad, so only the best will qualify for it anyway," Enel said as he took another sip of his(Wyper's) tea.
"It will be a special squad until all of our soldiers manage to learn it, I guess..." Gan Fall said as he smiled a bit.
"Indeed!" Enel's smile didn't diminish either, becoming larger as he thought about his main base having more and more strong fighters to defend it.
Wyper also picked up one of the books with a sceptical face, only to also get a sadistic smile when reading more about it.
Still, he didn't really know if Enel had mastered any of those techniques yet, so he was still eager to fight him.
"Special techniques from the people below, huh?... Enel, it's been a while already. Let's see if you've been lazing around the past few months!" Wyper said as he cracked his knuckles, Enel simply chuckled a bit as he looked at his first sparring partner.
"Don't be too disappointed when you lose..." The former marine said as he remembered the sparring partners he had had since then, mainly Garp, and how much stronger he had become.
The two of them got up and proceeded to leave, leaving only Gan Fall, who sighed a bit in frustration at the fact that his personal guard had just left him alone...
