## One Piece Chapter 280, pages 7-10: Ascendance - Chapter: 280 - Pages: 7-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Enel, Nami, Aisa ### Summary Page 7: Enel analyzes the situation, thinking, "NO, WAIT... HE'S ONLY A PARAMECIA... HE'LL MOST LIKELY STILL HAVE TO RETAIN HIS PHYSICAL FORM... WHAT IN HEAVENS IS RUBBER...!?" He then grips his golden staff, and intense electricity crackles around his hand and the weapon. He calls out, "GLOAM PADDLING!" The intense heat and electricity cause the golden staff to melt and reshape. Nami watches in shock, exclaiming, "His staff... Is being morphed into a trident!" Luffy looks on in surprise, uttering, "Hm!?" as the newly formed trident solidifies. Page 8: Enel swings his newly formed golden trident, declaring, "Consider this a physical manifestation of my thunder! I have no time to waste playing with the likes of you!" Luffy barely dodges the sharp blades, yelling "AGH!" Enel taunts him, "Yahaha! Just as I suspected, you're weak to sharp things, aren't you!?" Luffy crouches low, preparing his next move. Nami yells out, "That's right. DON'T TELL HIM!" Ignoring her, Luffy launches a rapid barrage of punches, yelling, "GOMU GOMU... GATLI-" Page 9: Luffy's barrage of punches hits empty air as Enel vanishes from his spot. Luffy looks around in confusion, saying, "He's gone!" Aisa, sensing Enel's presence, screams, "LUFFY! BEHIND YOU!" Luffy turns just as Enel begins to emerge directly from the solid gold wall of the giant face structure behind him. Nami watches in horror, realizing, "He's moving through the gold!" Page 10: Luffy looks back in shock as Enel's face and upper body fully emerge from the golden wall. Without hesitation, Enel thrusts the sharp trident directly at Luffy's head. Luffy barely manages to lean back, yelling "Haaatt!" as the trident grazes past his face, narrowly missing him. Nami watches the close call with a terrified expression.
