The Ark Maxim is Enel's colossal flying ark. She was built by Gan Fall's men for Enel.[1]
Appearance
The ark contains a throne that is beneath a golden face,[2] and a large storage room.[3] The gears and generators are quite large, and she has a line of oars whose use was not shown. She also has multiple rotors and propellers to help her fly.[4]
Abilities
The Maxim is capable of flight,[5] even in space.[6] Enel's electrical energy is her main power supply, while two hundred Jet Dials are used as a backup power supply to keep the ark in the air for an hour if something were to happen to the Ark's mechanism.[7] Enel used the gold from the Shandora ruins as a conductor for his electricity.[5][8]
Enel can use Maxim to create massive lightning storms via a combination of chemical vats that produce storm clouds and his own lightning abilities.[9] One of these thunderbolts is enough to burn down an entire village, and Enel can create a giant thundercloud that can destroy an entire island.
History
During the Skypiea Arc the ship suffered a good bit of damage, although none was crippling to the vessel's ability to fly. After Enel's defeat at the hands of Monkey D. Luffy, the "God" departed to the moon on his ark, in hopes of finding his Endless Vearth. This leads to his mini arc, where the Ark Maxim was implied to have been destroyed by the Space Pirates during a large explosion that Enel saw, though not confirmed.[10]
Trivia
- This is the first, and only canon, ship revealed that utilizes Devil Fruit powers to fly; the other being the non canon Island Ship.
- Maxim's name may have come from the name of the very first machine gun, the Maxim, which was the primary reason for European success at conquest and colonization in the 19th century, just as Enel planned to colonize the moon. The inventor of the gun, Hiram Maxim, also designed various flying machines.
- An unconfirmed bit of information is that the Maxim's name also may have come from the "Circus Maximus", an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium east of the temple for Summanus, the god of nocturnal thunder.
