Enel's Great Space Operations

Enel's Great Space Operations (エネルのスペース大作戦 Enel no Supēsu Daisakusen, Eneru's Great Space Mission in the Viz Manga) is a mini arc that revolves around Enel finally reaching "Fairy Vearth", which actually turns out to be the moon.

Short Summary
Having finally reached the moon, Enel encounters a group of small robots known as the "spaceys", as well as a vicious space pirate. After a series of events, Enel's Goro Goro no Mi powers wind up activating not only all the spaceys, but their city as well, and the self-proclaimed god discovers his true roots.

Long Summary
While exploring the moon, Enel finds a small robot in a crater and attacks it. The electricity, instead of harming it, recharges it (much to Enel's disappointment). The robot, identified as First Lieutenant Spacey, finds its fallen comrades - three more robots - and weeps over them while Enel watches on, impassive. While the Lieutenant is mourning, a fox-like space pirate attacks it from behind with an electrocuting spear.

The space pirate then attempts to attack Enel, who nonchalantly phases through the spear and attacks and defeats it in retaliation. Enel then sees a huge explosion in the distance, and is angered by what appears to have destroyed his ark, Maxim. Meanwhile, over at the area of the explosion, three more Space Pirates are converging, planning to excavate the moon for its treasures. Enel soon appears at the excavation site.

In the meantime, the shocked, but still alive Lieutenant Spacey reminisces about why he and his comrades came to the moon in the first place. An old man named Professor Moonwatcher made them on Mechanical Island, and one day, while watching the moon and eating snacks, a huge explosion happened on it, much like the one that destroyed Enel's ark. The professor, shocked, swallowed his dumpling without chewing, resulting in him suffocating to death.

After burying the professor, the four spaceys traveled to the moon(each one with a balloon) to take revenge on the one who caused the explosion that resulted in the accidental death of the professor by suffocation. Upon reaching the moon, they find the same space pirates that destroyed Maxim, and despite overwhelming odds, they fought the captain of the space pirates. In the end, however, all four of them were defeated.

In present time, Enel attacks the Space Pirates and destroys the entire excavation site with his lightning powers. This uncovers a canal that he intends to explore. Before he can do so, however, Lieutenant Spacey (towing his comrades' bodies behind him on a sled) rushes up to him and thanks him for avenging him and his comrades' "father".

Enel shocks the lieutenant and all of his comrades out of sheer annoyance, and goes on to explore the dried-up canal, coming upon a cave. Inside the cave is a huge Mayan-esque city, which he decides to electrocute as well. The resulting surge of electricity awakens not only the city, but a horde of ancient-looking spaceys as well.

The entire city having been activated, all of the ancient spaceys, as well as the four "new" ones that Enel had just met, rush to thank him, much to his confusion. Enel then studies a wall painting, and realizes that the original Bilkans,his ancestors, one of which is Professor Moonwatcher, came from the moon. Looking around, Enel sees endless followers and an enormous amount of "vearth", and decides that the "Fairy Vearth" was everything that he had wanted.
