_________ POV Narration_________
Oven lay on the ground, he was heaving for air as he tried his best to comprehend what had been happening.
Three days, that was how long Enel had lasted to move from that place.
Even now, after many hits, and Enel's body being bruised all over, all Oven had done was to make him take a step backwards.
That was it. Oven was exhausted beyond anything else, his injuries somewhat affected his stamina, and he still wasn't in the best of shape.
Oven could now at the very least correct his posture, and he had gotten used to the strange balance that his body had now that he was missing an arm.
The peg leg that Enel had given him was also already making up for his lost leg. The only problem was that it was rather easy to bend.
Enel did tell him eventually that gold wasn't a horribly strong metal. The rear Admiral ended up repairing it for him in an instant, which the pirate appreciated.
Still, missing limbs did make him feel quite discouraged. It was as if he had to get used to an entirely new body.
Oven didn't really blame it on the Rear Admiral, it was just a bit odd, not being able to feel parts of his body that he once could.
Oven could only inwardly curse his stamina and weakened body, as he was now the one sprawled on the ground, and Enel was still standing, casually walking around and bandaging himself.
"We should probably eat now..." Enel said as he flexed his arms a bit.
"What? Eat what? That backpack of yours won't have anywhere near enough food for the two of us, even for one sitting..." Oven said as he raised an eyebrow.
Enel had not taken many supplies, he had basically started sailing spontaneously, only getting his new weapon and bringing a small backpack with some books, a journal, a map, and very few supplies.
He also had a few eternal poses, one was for Marineford, and one was for Cake Island, the main stronghold of the Big Mom Pirates.
"Don't be such a pansy. We can always fish a Sea King and get enough food to last us the rest of our lives." Enel said as he finished bandaging his body.
His entire abdomen was now bandaged up, Oven had given him a few injuries, but nothing too major, most of them were bound to heal in a few days.
"..." Oven sulked a bit as he murmured some slurs. It was hard for such a prideful pirate to accept Enel's casual demeanour and remarks.
Still, training with Enel had managed to humble him slightly, making him realise that Enel could basically stand in a place for three days, and Oven wouldn't be able to defeat him in any way.
Sure, he had yet to use his devil fruit, but he wasn't about to try and kill Enel. He knew that would also likely mean suicide.
It wasn't like he was a Fishman, and that he could survive underwater until one of his family members followed his Vivre Card.
"So we're just hoping for a Sea King to appear!?" Oven said as he rubbed his stomach a bit. Another reason for his tiredness was definitely the lack of nutrition.
He wasn't exactly fed anything great during his stay as a prisoner in Marineford.
"Nah. We're going for the Calm Belt. We are already relatively close to it, I'll just get us close to the water and some curious sea creature is bound to pop its head out." Enel said as he started lowering the ship through the clouds below them.
Thankfully, there wasn't any storm, well, thankfully for Oven, Enel would've been just fine either way.
Not like storms were all that common near the Calm Belt. It was called the 'Calm' Belt for a good reason.
Enel was quick to spread out his Observation Haki as far as he could. He sensed it, all of the lifeforms hidden in the depths. He could sense them shifting around as they also likely felt his intrusive presence.
Out of the waters rose a snake, a Sea King. It was tall and long, thick and powerful. Its fangs bared at the golden ship that was hovering in place at a low altitude.
Oven trembled a bit, knowing that he wouldn't be able to do much without falling off of the ship. He could only hope that Enel had some type of plan...
It dove out of the water at surprising speeds, its maw instantly opened, and it was large enough to swallow the ship in a single bite. And it tried, oh it tried.
Oven's eyes widened at that. Cold sweat filled his back as he saw the rows of teeth that threatened to eat him, as well as the ship he was on, whole.
Enel didn't bother dodging the attack, he didn't panic, nor was he surprised. To him, the snake moved so slow, that it was pitiful. He simply pointed his white-greyish staff towards the quickly approaching snake.
Like a river, a torrent of tendrils sprouted from the staff, dwarfing the giant snake in both size and speed.
The snake realised that it was being attacked, but it was far too late to dodge, so it hoped for the best and forged forwards...
The tendrils were merciless, their sturdiness almost unmatched as they pierced through the snake's head in countless places and pushed it back towards the sea.
From the sea, it looked like a golden cloud was releasing a storm of blades, a deadly rain that threatened to kill anything in its wake, all towards the sea creature that was unfortunate enough to approach Enel's ship first.
The lifeless body of the Sea King reached the sea, waves rising in its wake as it was slowly starting to sink.
"See? That was easy." Enel said as he quickly steered his ship towards the corpse of the sea king.
Golden tendrils expanded from the ship and quickly started collecting large chunks of meat out of the cadaver.
Oven gulped a bit, both out of glee that their food was secured and out of fear.
'Would I survive something like that?' The attack wasn't just terrifying, it was also terrifyingly fast.
It had taken less than a second from the Snake jumping towards the ship, to it being riddled with holes.
Any notion of even attempting to escape or fight Enel once they reached an island vanished from Oven's mind at that moment.
"We'll only be taking around a ton or two of meat, I don't want our speed to be affected by this." Enel said as he created something akin to a golden net at the bottom of the ship that held the meat he had collected.
"I understand... But how are we cooking it exactly?" Oven asked while slowly getting up from the golden floor he was laying on.
"Oh, that's your job." Oven snapped his head at Enel when hearing that.
Enel just tilted his head when seeing that.
"What? Your name is Oven, and you have a devil fruit very well suited for this. For the rest of this journey, you are this ship's designated cook." Enel said as he clapped his hands with a friendly smile.
Oven just looked at the ground in exasperation. 'This is going to be a long month...'
