"Hmm, I smell the scent of milk."
Above the azure sky, Rowen stood calmly in the air, surrounded by dragon-shaped thunderbolts flickering around him, while dark clouds slowly converged towards him.
Gazing down at the tranquil islands below, and at the pirate flag with red lips and a skull perched atop the town, Rowen no longer needed to conceal the violent aura he had suppressed all week. His Haoshoku Haki and Thunder Cloud Dragon aura radiated outward in all directions.
Bang!
The thunderous sound came suddenly, as if reverberating directly in the mind. The invisible pressure spread out, and in an instant, the bustling main street of the town fell silent.
Pū Tōng. Pū Tōng.
A short chef, holding a box of flour, foamed at the mouth and collapsed, followed by one resident after another falling unconscious, like dominoes.
Faced with Rowen's dual pressure of Haoshoku and Thunder Cloud Dragon aura, ordinary people couldn't resist.
They felt as if the world had suddenly turned dark, the atmosphere as oppressive as the calm before a midnight tempest. Then, a thunderous explosion and a flash of light tore through the sky, and consciousness was instantly lost.
"Look up there, someone's there!"
"Oh no, it's Marine Soryu! Quick, inform MAMA!"
"Marines are coming, everyone run!"
Rowen didn't bother to conceal his presence. Those pirates who hadn't been covered by his Haki instantly found the culprit above.
But when they saw that the bundle wrapped in lightning was a person, their despair was beyond words.
Marine Soryu had actually come knocking on their door!
"So, it's just the outskirts; no wonder there's no one to fight."
Taking in the pirates' shock, Rowen calmly closed his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he knew the number and positions of the pirates on the island.
This was Cheese Island, managed by the Minister of Cheese, one of the 34 ministers of Totto Land, but it was the outermost border of Totto Land, a disposable pawn in case of war, a strategic depth to be abandoned.
"In that case, let's not waste any time."
Rowen calmly raised his hand, and a massive amount of energy quickly gathered in his palm, forming a fist-sized glass-white orb!
Awakening Technique: Heaven-Manipulating Thunder God - God's Cry Shot!
Swish. Bang boom!
White stars fell, and in the next moment, an infinite and terrifying thunder instantly enveloped the entire Cheese Island, tearing through everything in its path - bodies, houses, land, ocean - venting its destructive desires and devouring everything in its path.
"Hey hey, isn't this too much?! When did Rowen become so terrifying?!"
Several miles away from Cheese Island, on the surface of the sea, Kizaru placed his hand on his forehead, staring dumbfoundedly at the white light rising from the horizon.
He could naturally destroy an island with a single blow, but Cheese Island was just an expendable outpost on the outer edge of Totto Land, with no value in destruction.
However, Rowen still made a move. With the overwhelming killing power advantage of the Goro Goro no Mi Awakening, he destroyed it.
Kizaru couldn't help but speculate.
"Could this kid be planning to sink the entire Totto Land one by one?"
Thinking about that terrifying future, even he couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine.
That scene was simply...
"Excellent!"
Zero swung his fist ruthlessly, his tone enthusiastic, then urgently said in the face of Kizaru's speechless gaze.
"These pirates dare to declare themselves kings, they're really audacious!"
'Who would've thought you're also a hot-blooded guy?' Kizaru thought strangely.
The status of the Yonko had gradually stabilized only in the past decade, and the strength and background were vastly different from other major forces.
Apart from strength, the differences were quite significant.
Otherwise, BIG MOM wouldn't need to hold tea parties every year to deepen her ties with various factions.
She was an ambitious woman, and establishing authority and threats were just means to an end.
As an elder generation, it wasn't surprising that Zero was angry about the government's decision to "cut land and pay compensation" for stability when facing these "newcomers," right?
"Admiral Kizaru, leave the task of resisting the combined attack to me, and I will leave the rest to you."
Ignoring Kizaru's strange look, Zero's red spots on his eyeballs swelled, revealing an undisguised killing intent.
As soon as Rowen made a move, the war began.
The well-prepared BIG MOM Pirate Crew would immediately mobilize their troops to besiege Rowen. Even though they knew it might be futile, they had to keep the battle within a certain range, creating an opportunity for them to strike.
With that said, Zero stopped wasting words and ordered the army to move up to intercept the enemy's reinforcements.
"Attacking the rear? That sounds rather casual." Kizaru watched in disbelief as Zero's fleet began to turn, glancing at the Zipper Thunder extending towards the distant horizon, his expression stiffening. "Oh my, isn't that Cheese Island over there?"
Cheese Island. Seems like it falls under the category of "internal defense" as well.
Totto Land.
Bang!
The door to the room was forcefully kicked open, and BIG MOM instantly cast a murderous gaze, wanting to see who was so bold.
However, the newcomer was completely unaware of her killing intent at the moment, gasping for breath as they entered the room, and urgently exclaimed, "MAMA, it's bad! Cheese Island is gone!"
"What?!"
BIG MOM immediately stood up, disregarding the other's rude behavior, and snorted with rage.
"What's going on?!"
"It's Marine Soryu!"
Smoothie rushed into the room, quickly reporting, "MAMA, the enemy's army has bypassed the first line of defense and is expected to collide with Nut Island and Anger Legion. The leader is a masked man in white."
"Admiral Aokiji's Marine forces have dispersed and formed an arc to surround the eastern sea."
"In addition..."
Smoothie swallowed her saliva.
"Furthermore... Marine Soryu, relying on his own mobility advantage, has destroyed Chocolate Island and Marshmallow Island along the way and is heading towards us. He's expected to arrive in half an hour."
Such swift actions!
BIG MOM was surprised. The attack information had just come in, and Soryu had already penetrated deep into the interior lands.
Such swift action once again confirmed the government's premeditation.
However, she still didn't know that this time, the government and Marines were just seizing the opportunity. If it weren't for Rowen's irrationality in coming to pick a fight with her, who would dare to target an undefeated Yonko?
It's a typical case of "trouble comes from home."
Boom!
A huge fist smashed the table, and seeing this, the three major Homies' momentum surged, surrounding BIG MOM, venting their power.
"MAMA, let's go! This time, I'll definitely burn him to ashes!"
Prometheus looked furious. After the last defeat against Soryu and Kizaru's alliance, BIG MOM was seriously injured, and Anger Legion returned in defeat. It had been holding back a lot of anger, and now it was ready to burst.
Even if Rowen didn't make a move again, they would take the initiative to seek him out and settle the score.
The dignity of a Yonko can only be cleansed with the blood of the enemy!
"And me, and me!"
Thunder Cloud Zeus turned from white to black, and the sound of thunder resounded, "This time, I'll make him suffer!"
Napoleon, restored and silent, transformed directly into a huge double-edged sword, "kā chā," inserted into the floor, standing next to BIG MOM.
"MAMA~ MAMA~!"
BIG MOM laughed in her strange tone, her Haoshoku Haki surging wildly, causing the room to tremble as if in an earthquake, with the ceiling and walls instantly cracking.
Shuā!
But the next moment, the laughter abruptly stopped.
"Soryu!!!"
BIG MOM's face was grim, and she murmured softly.
"Zeus!"
Then, with a few steps, "Boom," she smashed through the wall, her feet stepping on the Thunder Cloud as she flew towards the distance.
BIG MOM, one of the mighty Yonko, was unwilling to wait a minute longer. She wanted to personally kill Rowen, so she chose to take the initiative!
After a moment of stunned silence, Smoothie quickly came to her senses and hurriedly took out a Den Den Mushi. "Everyone, attention! In the name of the First Minister, I declare to drop all current tasks and support MAMA at full speed!"
"The war has begun!"
