Enel transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped towards Basil Hawkins. The man cautiously watched the approaching lightning as it morphed back into Enel, who stared intently at this peculiar figure reading tarot cards.

"What?!" Basil Hawkins' crew exclaimed as Enel suddenly appeared before them.

Hawkins observed the uniquely dressed man, clad only in pants, with large ears and drums on his back. He seemed quite intrigued by him.

"I heard what you said," Enel remarked, looking at him.

"How may I assist you?" Hawkins asked, somewhat cautiously. After all, he didn't need to read the cards to know whether he could defeat this man or not. Being a Logia, no member of the infamous Worst Generation there could fight him, except for the Straw Hats who might actually beat him in a fight.

"You can see possibilities...?" Enel inquired, wanting answers from this mortal.

"I can..." Hawkins replied, seeing no reason to lie.

"Then I want some information, mortal," he stated disdainfully.

"The possibility of refusal is 10%," Hawkins stated, looking at his cards and disliking the situation. "What do you want to know?" In the end, he turned back to Enel.

"I want to know what the possibility of me becoming a god is?" Enel asked immediately, after all, he was eager to regain his status.

"A god?!" Many exclaimed upon hearing the question, but Hawkins started reading the cards. Seeing the answer to the question in the cards, he debated whether to tell the truth or not, but ultimately chose to. After all, he is a pirate.

"There's a 1% chance," Hawkins spoke, bracing for the Logia user's fury.

"1%..." Enel unexpectedly seemed thoughtful, not angry at the revelation.

Suddenly, Chouchou appeared at the side. "Woof! Woof!" He was barking at Enel.

"What do you want, mutt!!??" Enel grumbled at Chouchou, who growled back at Enel. They didn't seem to get along and were about to start a fight.

Hawkins was worried about getting out of there before this conflict began. But Enel looked at the dog and had an idea.

"Hey, tell me one more thing. What's the chance of this dog becoming a god?" He asked curiously.

"Very slim as well, it's 2%," Hawkins said, though he seemed a bit surprised that a dog had such a chance of becoming something like that.

"This dog has a better chance than me?" Enel was not pleased with this, especially since the stray dog had twice the chance he did. "Are you sure about this?" Enel asked Hawkins, looking at him seriously and wanting to really confirm it.

"Yes," Hawkins answered.

"Well, that doesn't matter, that 1% is all I needed," he said finally with conviction. "It won't be a dog that becomes a god, nor even that demon, no one will stop me from becoming a God!" he exclaimed as several lightning bolts began to appear around his body.

"What is he doing?!" This was scaring everyone nearby, as Chouchou started growling, ready to attack, but someone emerged first.

Before Enel could react, a slap hit his head with an enormous hand, because the hand was wrapped with King's haki, and it stopped him from continuing his lightning show.
