BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Tyrannical energy erupted violently across this stretch of sea!
The Bomb-Bomb Fruit, while not top-tier among Paramecias, let alone all Devil Fruits, became a scary detonator in Rowen's hands!
It ignited the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's lightning and the Flare-Flare Fruit's fire from their very core—from every single spark of thunder, every wisp of flame!
Lightning and fire, already the most violent elemental manifestations in nature, now had all their energy unleashed instantaneously in a colossal explosion!
The terrifying energy rocked the entire sea region!
The atmosphere was now devoid of flame and lightning—because in that single instant, they had completely detonated! All their energy unleashed!
And Thunder-Ice Island—created by the Awakened Rumble-Rumble and Ice-Ice Fruits—under this cataclysmic energy release, shattered into countless fragments!
Completely wiped from the world's map!
Henceforth, this uninhabited island would no longer exist in this sea region!
Erased by Rowen!
<><><><><><><><>
Aboard the Going Merry, far from the epicenter, the crew clung desperately to anything that offered stability as monstrous waves tossed the ship about.
"..." They stared in utter horror at the distant sea.
"G-GONE! THE ISLAND—IT'S GONE!" Usopp stammered, his mouth agape, his eyes glazed with a mixture of terror and disbelief.
In the distance, the colossal mushroom cloud from the explosion was slowly dissipating. Where the island had been—there was now nothing.
Only scattered debris rained down from the sky, splashing into the turbulent sea, swept away by the currents to unknown destinations.
Soon, only seawater would remain, no other trace.
But they remembered clearly... just a short while ago, they had personally set foot on that not-so-small uninhabited island.
Now... that island was completely GONE! Annihilated—by Rowen's attack!
"Un-Unbelievable! R-Rowen!"
Zoro and Sanji's foreheads were drenched in cold sweat, staring in horror at the empty expanse of sea where the island once stood.
Though they had been shocked countless times since Rowen began fighting Aokiji, the scene before them now left them somewhat stunned, almost numb.
An island of considerable size—utterly obliterated by a single attack from Rowen! Such power—was beyond words!
It felt like the act of a God—
"One of the three Ancient Weapons... Pluton, which Crocodile chased relentlessly—legend says its cannons could make an island vanish with a single shot! I once thought it was just a legend—I never imagined a power like that could exist..."
Robin murmured, covering her mouth, staring incredulously at the scene.
Robin had read about Pluton on the Alabasta Poneglyph. A single shot erasing an island from the map—the power Crocodile sought for years. Now, she had witnessed such power firsthand—From Rowen!
The Buster Call that caused her most terrifying psychological trauma—consisted of ten top-of-the-line Marine HQ warships, led by Vice Admirals.
Once activated, a Buster Call aimed to utterly destroy everything at the designated location—buildings, people, everything—with cannon fire. But it only destroyed what was on the island; the island itself remained.
An entire island was completely obliterated!
Though it was an uninhabited island of modest size, and Rowen's current power might not yet compare to Pluton's legendary island-destroying capability—it was still an island...
To wipe a not-so-small island directly from the map—such horrible power was beyond human description.
Robin had never even imagined such power before.
<><><><><><><><>
"Where's Rowen?!" The crew, still reeling from the shocking spectacle, were speechless.
Nami and Vivi were the first to recover, anxiously
"Huh?!" Just as Aokiji's mind raced, trying to figure out how to retreat from this battlefield, he suddenly noticed the man opposite him frown.
"What a strong presence..." Rowen turned his head, looking towards a distant stretch of sea.
An extremely powerful presence and Haki had just entered the range of his Observation Haki—
—Rowen pushed his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability to its limit, listening intently to the sounds from that direction.
<><><><><><><><>
A Marine warship, its figurehead a dog's head, was rapidly approaching Rowen and Aokiji's battle site!
"GARP! YOU BASTARD! HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL YOU GET HERE?!" Sengoku's voice, anxious and agitated, blared from a Transponder Snail.
"I'm already going full speed, old friend! But Sengoku—what the hell happened to your face?" Garp's voice replied, looking at the Transponder Snail in his hand.
The snail's projected image of Sengoku was incredibly distorted—appearing to be crying and laughing, joyful and sorrowful, all at once.
"MY ABILITY IS OVERDRAWN! BASTARD!" Sengoku yelled, barely able to control his emotions.
The Human-Human Fruit, Model: Daibutsu, granted Sengoku Buddha-like wisdom, not just for thinking, but also for 'Buddha Deductions'. Combined with his manifested sixth sense, Sengoku could see even further into the future than extreme Observation Haki. Shortly after Aokiji embarked on this mission to capture Rowen, Sengoku felt an intense sense of unease—
It was his Buddha ability warning him—the source of the unease was Aokiji! This left Sengoku utterly bewildered. Aokiji's level of combat strength could directly confront the Four Emperors—
Yet a mission to capture Rowen made him feel so uneasy?! So, Sengoku immediately performed a Buddha Deduction regarding Aokiji's mission. The result shocked Sengoku to his core—After completing the deduction, his Devil Fruit ability was completely overdrawn.
The price of overdrawing the Buddha form was a temporary, complete inability to control his facial expressions and emotions, resulting in that bizarre, statue-like visage.
Sengoku had essentially burned out his ability for a short time. What shocked Sengoku even more—was the result of the deduction!
<><><><><><><><>
"Aokiji is in danger! Great danger! Aokiji's level of strength—absolutely cannot be lost!" Sengoku's strangely modulated voice, simultaneously joyful and sorrowful, came through the snail, his emotions unstable.
"Fleet Admiral! Are you joking?! That's Kuzan we're talking about!" A figure walked up beside Garp, speaking incredulously into the snail. It was Vice Admiral Gion.
"MY ABILITY IS OVERDRAWN! DO I HAVE ANY REASON TO JOKE WITH YOU?! DAMN IT ALL!" Sengoku, his emotions extremely unstable due to ability exhaustion, roared curses.
"Though I can't know the exact situation—the result I got is that Aokiji is in great danger! Mortal danger! My Buddha ability can only get a general picture! I'm not a god! I can't know everything accurately!" Sengoku's unstable, strangely modulated voice continued from the snail.
"Un-Unbelievable... Kuzan—in mortal danger from Sky Sovereign Rowen? Could it be... is there an Emperor there?!" Gion's beautiful eyes widened in horror.
Kuzan's combat strength? Those capable of putting him in mortal danger on these seas—could be counted on one hand...
Those four who reigned over these seas like emperors—the super great pirates! The Four Emperors!
Beside Gion stood Tashigi.
Since the Alabasta incident, Tashigi had been training under Gion. Hearing their conversation, Tashigi's eyes also filled with disbelief.
"I understand. I'm heading there at full speed now," Garp replied, all traces of his usual frivolity gone, his voice serious. Kuzan—was still his student.
But the next moment—
VMM! BOOOOOOM!!!
High above, a terrifying flash of lightning erupted!
"Huh?!" Gion and the others stared upwards in horror!
A terrifying bolt of lightning—descended!
"Divine Judgment——" Rowen declared, pointing a single finger towards the sky, activating his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
