As everyone knows, Paramecia-type Devil Fruits can Assimilate and Fuse different non-living substances after Awakening, allowing the Ability user to control them, just like Doflamingo's strings and Katakuri's mochi balls.
Whether the Awakening of a superhuman physique is the same is debatable, but Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit definitely falls into this category, belonging to the "emission type".
The towering ghostly waves exceeding a kilometer in height were not special Homies created by her infusing souls into seawater but rather an extension of her Soul-Soul Fruit.
In other words, at this moment, BIG MOM, who had unleashed her Devil Fruit Awakening, was the entirety of this Sea!
"Soul-Soul Fruit, it's really unreasonable."
Ignoring the keratin particles in the seawater, forcefully infusing the fruit's power into the Sea, and manipulating it, this was something that Logia-types could never achieve.
Only the bizarre Paramecia types could possibly do this.
Tsk, tsk!
On the Ghost Ship formed by the crest of the waves, terrifying skeletal figures brandished their swords and roared angrily, the countless friction sounds merging together to emit a suffocating ghostly howl.
Just as the waves were about to crash down, Rowen suddenly relaxed his expression, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.
The cannons had sounded, and the drums were beating.
Awakening Skill: Thunderous Titan!
Bang!
The curtain-like waves surged and engulfed the Thunderlight, but it lasted less than a second. A thunderous roar, alarming the heavens, pierced through the sky, descending from above!
The thunderous power, so dense it turned from blue to white, suddenly surged, like an exploding balloon, bursting the waves apart.
Huā Lā La!
The boundless seawater was torn into pieces like a torn cloth. BIG MOM's pupils contracted as she looked towards the splash, shocked, "What is this?!"
Appearing before her was a Thunder Giant exceeding 100 meters in height.
Vaguely discernible between its brows was Rowen's figure. The raging electric currents outlined the Giant's armor and spear, its heavy steps shattering the ice underfoot into pieces.
Like a Titan from ancient myths controlling thunder and lightning, it was powerful, majestic, and impossible to ignore.
With the exaggerated oppression and the hair-raising thunderous power, even BIG MOM couldn't help but feel shocked.
Thunderous Titan!
This was Rowen's strongest form, combining the "Violent Ape of Hell Form" and Enel's "200 million Volt Thunder God" after Awakening, demonstrating its might!
"Hmph!"
After bursting the huge waves, the Thunder Giant looked at the figure in front of it, which was less than the size of its palm, and raised the thunderous long guns in its hands.
"Not good!"
BIG MOM's soul trembled as she swung Napoleon outward.
Buzz!
A burst of white light shot out, compressing the air to the extreme, causing the hard ice layer to instantly crack deeply. With Big Mom's movement, it swiftly rushed towards the Giant in the distance.
Spear of Elbaf · Might of the Nation!
Bang!
And this was not the end. Thunder Cloud Homies Zeus and Flame Homies Prometheus simultaneously attacked, unleashing two streams of flames and thunder.
Hoo!
The roaring flames and Thunder Pillars intersected in mid-air, merging into one without distinction, finally catching up to the airborne cannonball. The combined forces formed a destructive energy torrent shimmering with various colors of light.
This cautious approach was only because the long guns in the Giant's hands were already thrust outward!
Hiss!
The two powerful energies collided in mid-air, creating visible flat ripples in the air, followed by a deafening explosion.
In the interweaving of thunder and fire, the sharp thunder spear cut through the colorful energy torrent for hundreds of meters before exploding due to the old force.
Boom!!!
The intense explosion made both sides stagger slightly. Rowen took a step back, preparing to launch another attack, but at that moment...
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
BIG MOM's face twisted into a sinister smile with a conspiratorial gleam in her eyes.
Suddenly, she raised her fist, and the Ice Mass under the Thunder Giant's feet seemed to come to life, transforming into thick ice spikes over a hundred meters long from all directions.
This was not a simple Ice Mass spike. Each ice spike had a twisted human face on it, indicating that they had been controlled by the Awakening power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.
BIG MOM's Soul-Soul Fruit Awakening power could even spread to seawater, naturally extending to the Ice Mass.
The previous attack was just a feint; this was her true intention!
The Awakening power of the Soul-Soul Fruit wouldn't change the existence form of matter itself like the Ito Ito no Mi (String-String Fruit) or the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, but it could turn them into a type of soul, accepting Big Mom's control.
This move was a surefire one for BIG MOM. She had studied Rowen's data and knew that dealing with this kind of speed-based opponent required catching them off guard. Otherwise, with Rowen's level of Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) combined with the flexibility of lightning, there would be no second chance to strike.
Fortunately, she bet correctly.
But what she didn't expect was...
"So why do you think I became so huge?"
In the face of danger, Rowen remained unchanged.
"He" and himself were one, their fighting styles consistent.
BIG MOM had managed to control the sea, so Rowen couldn't afford not to be wary of the Ice Mass that now covered the entire space.
Even though it was a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the area of effect of this attack was no less impressive than that of a Logia-type.
And when dealing with large-range enemy attacks, besides evading, one could also break through with sheer force!
So...
Rankyaku: Lion Slice!
"What?!"
BIG MOM's eyes widened suddenly as the Thunder Giant abruptly twisted its body and lifted its foot. The colossal thunderous body, without a hint of awkwardness or sluggishness, burst forth with a wild, primal power, transforming into a flurry of blue vacuum slashes.
It was as if a majestic lion roaring up to the sky had appeared on the spot, with those vacuum slashes serving as its mane, shattering the Ice Mass!
"This is impossible?! How could you have prepared in advance?!"
BIG MOM's face was filled with shock as she suddenly realized that Rowen had planned this all along.
Under normal circumstances, breaking through this overwhelming mass of icebergs would have required Rowen to exert considerable effort. This was because he had to avoid unnecessary trouble while also determining the enemy's movements to plan the follow-up of the battle.
Being small was troublesome, and Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) wasn't omnipotent.
So he simply grew bigger. The "overwhelming mass" in BIG MOM's eyes under this form was nothing to him. Instead, it allowed him to take full advantage of the situation.
The only difficulty lay in how to ensure that BIG MOM would follow his script.
"Heh!"
Rowen disdainfully refused to answer BIG MOM's question— it was just a simple thought guidance.
Imagine you have a rocket launcher and a .38 revolver in your hands, and your goal is to destroy a building. Which one would you choose?
The answer was clear.
BIG MOM just couldn't believe that she had been played.
She was calculating Rowen, and Rowen was calculating her.
Awakening Skill: God's Cry Shot!
With a single blow, Rowen shattered the iceberg spikes that posed a threat to him. He then raised his spear and pointed it at the bewildered BIG MOM. A small, but seemingly only as large as his fist, yet several meters in diameter, the sphere of scorching white glass condensed at the tip of the spear.
Then...
Whoosh!!!
"Protect MAMA!"
Prometheus was suddenly terrified by this move. Once, on Whole Cake Island, Rowen's black glass had made it feel unbearable pain. Now, this white one seemed even more dangerous.
"MAMA, I'm coming!"
Zeus showed commendable courage at this moment. Upon hearing the call, without hesitation, he stirred the power of lightning within him, and his several-meter-wide body instantly grew to be no smaller than Rowen's, standing in front of BIG MOM like a wall.
"You're asking for death!!!"
Watching this scene, even without interference from the will of the Devil Fruit, Rowen's eyes were suddenly filled with killing intent.
Zeus was a Homie created by BIG MOM, with a portion of the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit already present. Rowen couldn't directly interfere with it through the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder-Thunder Fruit). There wasn't much he could do about it.
The Drums of Heaven that blocked him before, although shattered with a single blow, gave BIG MOM time to use her Devil Fruit power, saving Whole Cake Island from destruction.
And now it's blocking him again. Did they really think he was made of clay?
"Want to die? I'll grant your wish!"
Zeus's heart suddenly trembled as he watched the Thunder Giant wielding the spear approaching, his expression stunned.
