Kā Chā…
After speaking, the Den Den Mushi tilted its head and went back to sleep.
Zephyr's expression was one of shock as he looked up at Zero who had gone from being surprised to calm but his lips were still trembling with excitement.
Lirisk?
The son of Nibelung Orrick who had been missing for ten years?!
Rowen?
What does he have to do with this?!
Why is such a big thing happening and I, as the Sensei, know nothing?!
Zero calmed down at this point and he couldn't help but feel a bit amused when he saw Zephyr's bewildered gaze on him.
Lirisk's recovery not only affected Rowen, but also had a huge impact on CP0, Marine Headquarters, and everyone else. In a metaphorical sense, Rowen's threat not only bound him to a pirate ship but also forced him to clean up after him.
Luckily, Lirisk had regained his sanity, otherwise, they would have all been in trouble!
It was incredible that something so big had happened and Zephyr, as the Sensei, knew nothing about it… Zero found it quite amazing.
After a pause, he put away the Den Den Mushi and spoke to Zephyr with a serious tone, "You have taught a good student… Zephyr!"
A truly good student!!!
Zephyr's expression changed from bright to dark and he gritted his teeth in anger.
Although he didn't know what was going on but he felt that beating up Rowen would be the right thing to do at this moment!
…
Near Newland Island, there is an unknown deserted island.
"Ah-choo!"
Sitting cross-legged on a large white rock, Rowen immersed his mind into his body in the way of training when suddenly, a chill came over him, making him shiver and sneeze.
"Are there still people who want to harm me?!" Rowen opened his eyes abruptly and looked around with a suspicious expression on his face.
At his level of strength, ordinary injuries could not penetrate his body so his senses would not give him any danger alarms. Every abnormal sensation was a sign of something bad.
"Woo woo…"
The forest trembled as Rowen released his aura. The wild beasts that had been tormented by him these past few days quivered and lay on the ground, indicating that they meant him no harm.
They had already discovered that this human could fly and was incredibly strong and fast!
What was even more remarkable was that their teeth and claws, which had always been effective weapons, were useless against him. They could only passively take a beating!
In just a few days, Rowen had defeated half of the island's rulers, and now, this large forest and every dangerous animal on it recognized him as its king!
Rowen released his Observation Haki (Kenbunshoku Haki), but the few beasts that posed a threat to him still lurked in his territory, oblivious to any abnormalities.
Rowen rubbed his nose and continued to scan his surroundings, remaining vigilant, before closing his eyes again and resuming his training.
Thin blue electrical currents crawled on his skin, causing fluctuations and waves of electromagnetic effects that flattened the grass and trees around Rowen.
It was difficult to imagine the tremendous amount of high-voltage current that is continuously gathering and dissipating around Rowen.
Devil Fruit's development was not as complicated as some ordinary people imagined, especially for Rowen and his physique-transforming type of Devil Fruit. Their bodies and abilities became one, and as their bodies grew stronger, so did their fruit abilities.
And what he is doing right now is not so much a mystical practice as a variant of physical training.
Just like when an ordinary person exercises, the torn muscle fibers regenerate and grow back stronger, he needs to do the same thing.
By continuously releasing the Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method, he depletes the lightning energy in his body and then replenishes it. The lightning energy that he gains back in this way is even stronger than before.
At this point, we have to talk about the bug of the Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method.
Logia users like Aokiji and Kizaru need to find a good place to release their abilities, squeeze their physical limits time and time again, and then wait for their abilities to replenish and grow.
But Rowen only needs to increase the current while stimulating his muscles and bones. This not only strengthens his Devil Fruit ability but also improves his physical fitness.
Releasing his ability in this way not only provides him with a 1+1 doubling effect but also strengthens his entire body with a powerful Blue Thunder that attracts and affects the environment around him.
At this moment, the sky becomes cloudy, and the air crackles with electricity.
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive Thunderlight strikes down on the island, heading toward Rowen.
When the island beasts thought that the Monster was about to be struck by lightning and killed, a massive lightning bolt rushed out of Rowen's body, blocking the Thunderlight in midair.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and after a moment, the thunderclouds were depleted and the Thunderlight dissipated them, bringing the confrontation to an end.
But soon, another cloud was pulled over and struck Rowen with its electric voltage.
This cycle repeated itself, and Rowen's understanding and intensity of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit continued to deepen.
…
At the Sabaody Archipelago, in the 13th district, lies Shakky's Rip-off Bar…
For the past few days, the Marines have been searching for the missing Garp, who happens to be here having a conversation with Shanks.
But the one who convinced him to abandon the fight with Shanks and come to this place to sit quietly is the old man lounging in his chair and drinking, "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh!
The elderly Silvers Rayleigh has long curly hair and a mustache that extends down to his chin, all of which are silver in color. He wears glasses and has a straight scar running down his right eye.
As the Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates and the right-hand man of the Pirate King, Rayleigh's strength is beyond doubt! If he joins forces with Shanks, even though Garp is not afraid to fight them, the Sabaody Archipelago will disappear after the battle!
This is no joke!
Moreover, as the backyard of the Celestial Dragons, there are many Tenryubitos here, and even if there are only one or two, Marine will be held responsible if anything happens to them!
"Well, don't look at me like that, Garp… We've been fighting for decades, aren't you tired of it yet?"
Nowadays, Rayleigh always has a faint smile on his face, and his sharp gaze has become gentle. He loves drinking and gambling, and when he's short on cash, he sells himself out to rob buyers.
When he's bored, he gives ships a coating, and island residents affectionately call him "Old Ray with the Coating."
Seeing Garp staring at him with a murderous look in his eyes, Rayleigh shook his wine pot and said with a smile on his face.
