Ferocious thunder illuminated the sky. The colossal sea turtles charging from a distance seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying. Their eyes widened instantly, and they frantically braked with all four limbs.
Beasts possess an extraordinarily keen sense of danger. In their eyes, these two luminous spears contained a dreadful power that couldn't be described by their meager intelligence. They absolutely must not collide with them.
However, they realized too late that escaping was futile…
Whiz! Whiz!
Spear of Meteors streaked across the sky from above the sea surface, piercing through the entire group of sea turtles in an instant.
Then!
Bang! Bang!
Numerous meaty turtle shells exploded, scattering in all directions. One by one, the sea turtles wailed and fell, and the colossal bodies, akin to mountains, were forcibly opened, creating a passage with a diameter of tens of meters. Blood gushed out in torrents.
The sea roiled, and the fierce wind howled.
The air was filled with tremendously powerful electrical currents. The sea turtles that had managed to escape no longer had any other thoughts; they turned and headed towards the sea. Despite being turtles, their movement speed was quite astonishing.
Rowen didn't have time to bother with them; his goal wasn't this group of turtles.
Electricity gathered and didn't disperse on his body. He looked at the sea surface ahead, shrouded in electric light, and furrowed his brows in silence.
"Momousagi faced the Spear of Meteors head-on. What about Chaton?"
In his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) perception, the two opponents didn't suffer much damage. One stabbed Konpira on the ground to break through the Spear of Meteors head-on, showcasing the true destructive power of a Greatswordsman. However, the other… seemed a bit peculiar.
"So, this is your ability?"
Zi Zi!
Chaton, who had escaped the electric light, hadn't had a chance to catch his breath when a bone-chilling coldness surged to his heart. Without thinking, he turned around, finally taking his hand out of his pocket.
Biu!
That was probably the sound, and it was as if a silenced handgun was firing. Indeed, Chaton's weapon was a "Hand" gun. The middle finger and the two fingers to the right of it were bent and gathered together, while the index finger extended straight, and the thumb raised.
Rokushiki Esoterics: Rokuōgan (Six King Guns): Soundless Pistol!
Under normal circumstances, it would require mobilizing one's entire body to launch the Six King Guns. However, Chaton managed to fire it with just one finger!
At the same time, the impact cannonball, not much larger than a grain of iron sand, was enveloped in thick Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), and it was incredibly fast.
It was so fast that there was almost no acceleration process, and it instantly pierced through Rowen's chest!
Pu Chi…!
Blood blossomed in front and behind Rowen's chest, and large chunks of flesh scattered. However, Chaton didn't feel happy; the bullet he anticipated to collide with Rowen's thunder had struck Rowen himself. Where did the thunder go?
In the next moment, Rowen provided him with the answer.
Thunder Clone…
Blink!
A figure, outlined like a blue crayon, appeared behind Chaton, then suddenly burst forth!
Bang! Bang!
"That's ruthless enough!…"
In the high sky, Chaton convulsively fell toward the sea, and although the electrical current wasn't life-threatening, it temporarily paralyzed him, rendering him unable to move.
Seize the opportunity when your opponent is weak.
Rowen quickly released his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) and prepared to pursue. Suddenly, his expression froze. He raised his hand behind him, then ruthlessly pulled forward.
Buzz!
An enormous electric arc, over a kilometer in length, abruptly appeared. In the azure sky, it intersected and clashed with the sword light shooting from afar.
Clang!
A shrill ringing of swords echoed through the sky, shattering the clouds into powder as the fractured sword light churned the atmosphere. But in the next moment, Momousagi's brow furrowed with deadly intent as she swiftly advanced toward Rowen amidst the surging sword light.
Slash!
There were no extravagant techniques, just an ordinary slash.
However, the moment the sword descended, Rowen was split into two from his waist.
In a three-way melee, there would never be a situation of a fair one-on-one duel. Who the fisherman, who the snipe, and who the clam in such battles wouldn't be clear until the fight ended.
But Rowen attacking both of them simultaneously undoubtedly infuriated Momousagi!
As the sword light descended, the waves behind Rowen, over a kilometer away, suddenly split open. The ocean seemed to come alive, opening a colossal abyss that reached all the way to the seabed, and it remained unhealed for a long time.
A single strike creates a chasm in the sea! The fame of the Marine's contemporary strongest swordsman was well-deserved!
However, even when facing a Swordsman of this caliber, Rowen still wore a cheerful smile on his face.
With no time to gather his shattered body, Rowen reached out and grabbed Konpira, which had passed by his waist. Ignoring the blood flowing from his palm, caused by the blade carrying Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), he roared.
Great Electricity Producer!
Zi Zi Zi Sizzle!
…
"Oh!! Is Rowen going for a one-versus-two?!!"
On the central plaza of Marine Headquarters in Marineford, a massive curtain rose.
The stands were filled with people, and countless Marines cheered fervently for their Admiral Candidates.
Garp sat with his legs crossed at the highest point of the stands. When he saw two lightning bolts striking simultaneously toward Momousagi and Chaton, he was so surprised that he nearly popped his eyeballs out.
"Hmph, Rowen going for a one-versus-two is quite normal, you know?"
Beside him, Zephyr sat in a chair with Ain, with a small table filled with snacks and fruits nearby. They looked like retired veterans watching a World Cup match.
Zephyr was disdainful of Garp's surprise. He proudly said, "Although their overall strength is similar, Rowen has the advantage in destructive power due to the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Thunder Fruit). But don't forget, Rowen is used to fighting people above his power level!"
"With self-healing abilities, Rowen would undoubtedly the victor in a one-on-one battle. But he's not interested in those kinds of pressure-free fights!"
In summary: He is just adding to the drama!
"Tch, it's not like you're the one fighting now. Why are you so proud?!" Garp rolled his eyes and, after some thought, decided not to provoke Zephyr's bad temper. He had just witnessed Zephyr turning a hidden flask of alcohol into a pile of sand and then gulping down a mouthful of sand.
Considering the protective nature of this small group, Garp took a bite of his doughnut.
Can't provoke, can't provoke these mad people!
At this moment, there was a cry of surprise from the plaza below. It was observed that Konpira, which had severed Rowen, was caught by Rowen in midair. Then, a colossal pillar of lightning erupted on the spot.
Bang…!!
Since it was quite a distance away, safety wasn't a concern. However, under that dazzling white light, the audio-visual Den Den Mushi couldn't help but blink, causing the image on their side of the screen to flicker. Subsequently, tears welled up in their eyes, making the picture blurry.
"What's going on? What's happening?!"
"Admiral Aokiji. The light is too bright, and the Den Den Mushi is having trouble handling it."
"So, what do we do?"
"Just chill!"
There were murmurs of dissatisfaction from the plaza, as they couldn't see anything important at such a crucial moment. It was utterly uncomfortable.
Realizing the anomaly, the Den Den Mushi quickly closed its eyes and, after a few moments, reopened them, restoring a clear image.
At the same time, in a location invisible to the Den Den Mushi, Aokiji's voice sounded lazily and leisurely.
"Sorry, sorry… Uh… What was I going to say? Well, never mind, it's just some trivial matters. Everyone, keep watching."
All the soldiers: "…"
Is he serious???
"This idiot!"
In the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku's old face turned red.
He knew something like this would happen, so he stayed in his office, refusing to go out.
With three Admirals like this under his command, he felt utterly despairing!
