Forum:A question about the Skypiea arc.

Hello :)

I’m ultimatez3000, nice to meet you.

This is going to be somewhat of a long post, so please forgive me for any inconvenience but I want to be completely honest.

first of all, please allow me to tell you more about myself.

I’ve been watching anime since the early 90s, and my favorite animes are Dragon Ball and Detective Conan. I also like to play video games and watch movies.

I asked this question on a lot of forums, and still didn't get an answer. In fact, if you searched for this question on google chances are the poster is me. And I also asked people that watch One Piece as well but I'm still looking for answers. And this question is one of the main reasons why I joined this forum. And I'm not doing this because of any malicious intent, I genuinely don't know the answer.

Also, a while back I had my PC completely formatted, so I lost all of the links to the posts that had this question, so I decided to ask the question again here and on a number of forums that I recently joined. Also, please note that I don’t read the One Piece manga.

My question is this:

In the Skypiea arc in the One Piece anime series, Enel, who is the main antagonist of that arc, says he's "god", is that true?

And if so, does he mean he’s A god, like Thor from the Marvel comic book franchise or does he mean he’s THE God, the one one that Muslims and Christians pray to?

And did any of the Straw Hat Pirates believed him?


 * No, Enel is not an actual deity, nor is he the Judeo-Christian god worshipped by the Abrahamic religions (El/YHWH/Jehova/Yahweh/God/...). I'm frankly not even sure if the Abrahamic religions exist in any form in One Piece. Regardless, Enel is just another example of a mortal having what's called a "god complex", kind of like Light Yagami from Death Note; Enel simply believes that he is above mortal laws and can do whatever the hell he wants without consequence. It certainly does not hurt that he has one of the most powerful Logia Devil Fruit powers (Goro Goro no Mi) at his disposal. That, and "god" is also a title given to Skypiea's ruler.
