Is it logical that Enel's power is ineffective against Luffy?


According to [the One Piece wikia's Enel
page](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Enel), Enel's power won't work against
Luffy because he is a rubber-man. But at some point, I'm confused from this
fact since lighting that strikes at 1 Million Volts would burn anything, even
rubber. Also, he melted gold and placed on Luffy's hand.

So my question is, is there any logical reason why is it that Luffy doesn't
feel any hurt when Enel strikes him?? I will not include what episodes this
happen.




No, it isn't logical, but it was deliberate. TVTropes has a trope which
perfectly summarizes this kind of phenomenon: "Acceptable Breaks from
Reality".

> A Willing Suspension of Disbelief is a must for almost any work of fiction.
> There are certain elements of story or gameplay where realism would simply
> make a work tedious, difficult, or confusing for the audience. Thus there
> are ways in which works will be blatantly, unabashedly unrealistic, and
> nobody really minds.

The manga deliberately takes liberties with certain inconvenient real-life
physics rules for the sake of drama or balance; Most Logia Devil Fruits would
have been way overpowered and/or impractical if the manga followed the laws of
physics faithfully. Akainu's magma powers, for instance, would have made him
unapproachable because his magma would have vaporized everything without even
needing to make contact. For the same kind of reason, Luffy is completely
immune to electricity; Enel would have won way too easily otherwise.
