Honestly, Rowen, who hadn't activated Thunderous Titan mode yet, still had a considerable gap to face "Natural Destroyer" BIG MOM head-on. If she were given enough time to stabilize her Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), Rowen seriously doubted if even his attacks could penetrate her defense.
Fortunately, he had the advantage in speed, allowing him to go toe to toe with her on Pott Island.
But after activating Thunderous Titan mode, Rowen's thunderous destructive power had increased by at least twice! In this state, even BIG MOM herself would have to treat him cautiously, let alone a mere Homie.
"I..."
Napoleon wanted to say something, but the souls inserted into its broken body quickly dissipated. It only managed to utter one word before its body turned gray and plummeted downward.
Two of the three major Homies under "Yonko" BIG MOM, "Thunder Cloud" Zeus, and "Giant Blade" Napoleon, thus became a thing of the past.
"No!!!"
Prometheus became even more frenzied. It could see that Napoleon had launched the attack on Rowen in an attempt to save itself.
But what it didn't expect was...
"Even a bonfire like that could break free from the Thunder Extreme Coffin under pressure. Why wouldn't I be prepared for you?"
Rowen remained calm, a hint of coldness curling up at the corners of his mouth.
What's scarier than a brute is a brute with a cunning mind.
Deliberately exposing vulnerabilities to lure Napoleon into a trap.
Watching the broken sword heavily crash onto the ice, Rowen took a deep breath with satisfaction.
Yes!
That's the feeling!
Destruction!
Destroying everything!
To cut down one powerful enemy after another, that joy was something Rowen had never experienced before.
Then, he set his sights on the only remaining Prometheus.
He needs to finish the job thoroughly and pull up the roots!
"Stop!"
The voice reached before the person arrived.
But at this moment, a loud shout accompanied by a tremendous Haoshoku pressure suddenly descended. Rowen slightly lifted his head and found a black sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters flying towards him at high speed.
"Is that a God's Cry Shot inside?"
Rowen wondered in surprise.
It turned out that after BIG MOM packed the God's Cry Shot, which was enough to destroy Cake Island, into the wicked Soul Pocket, she used it as a grenade and threw it at him.
It was a very shocking scene. The 9-meter-tall BIG MOM lifted the huge black sphere, which was more than twice her height, like an atlas, displaying her formidable power as the "Natural Destroyer" to the fullest!
However, at this moment, in front of Rowen's hundred-meter-high Thunderous Titan body, this huge black sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters seemed so small and fragile, giving a sense of vulnerability that was not worth a blow.
And the reality was almost the same.
"Hold!"
Zi Zi!
Rowen gently raised his hand, and the still-existing Thunder Extreme Coffin suddenly activated. The Aerolite black ball, whistling in its approach, stagnated in an instant at a distance of one meter from his palm. From motion to stillness, it was only a split second, as close as a world away.
And then...
"The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy!"
Rowen's tone turned cold as he glanced at the motionless Prometheus beside him. The black sphere rotated out of thin air, quickly engulfed in flames.
"What are you going to do?"
Prometheus quickly sensed that something was wrong. That black sphere was something MAMA had thrown at Soryu, so it definitely wasn't something good!
"Oh, just giving you a little treat."
Rowen slightly smirked, confirming that Prometheus had already "swallowed" the black sphere, and then snapped his fingers.
"Disperse!"
Boom rumble!!!
Swish!
With a heavy step, as the black sphere burst, Rowen crushed the ice under his feet, immediately appearing a kilometer away.
At the same time, the unleashed black sphere violently exploded and a mass of black energy-wrapped white light bloomed on the ice. Even the clouds in the sky were stirred by the terrifying electric power, thundering and lightning dancing wildly for a while.
An immeasurable gust of wind pressure formed instantly, and the hard ice and snow were squeezed out with crackling cracks.
The ice layer nearby was even directly destroyed, with tons of ice falling into the ocean with a dull "thud."
Near Totto Land, near Peppermint Island.
"Wow, what a commotion!"
The sudden hurricane was terrifyingly powerful and it could be felt from far away. Affected by this sudden hurricane, the opponent's attack slowed down by a second.
Aokiji decisively activated his Devil Fruit ability, raising a tens-of-meters-high iceberg in front of him to block this attack.
"You little bug hiding and running! Don't run away!"
This roar was like a bell tolling, with unparalleled Haki!
With this roar, the already broken ice field around shattered even more, as if it had been buried in explosives, bursting with a bang.
Eight Trigrams Thunder Cry!
"Hundred Beasts" Kaido angrily raised his wolf-tooth club with Haoshoku Haki forming visible purple-black lightning, ruthlessly striking the iceberg.
Boom!
Suddenly, the iceberg, which was as hard as steel, exploded into countless ice fragments. A wolf-toothed club wrapped in black Busoshoku Haki tore through the mist of ice debris and continued to strike toward Aokiji.
However, faced with this sudden attack, Aokiji didn't retreat but instead moved forward.
Raving Pheasant Beak!
Pressing his left hand against the back of his right hand, a sharp and icy cold entangled, and a bluebird made of ice mass emerged from the palm, looking vivid and lifelike.
Chirp!!!
With a long cry, the air temperature suddenly dropped sharply. The Raving Pheasant Beak tore through the sky, with the huge white wings leading the way. Before the wolf-toothed club hit Aokiji, it struck Kaido's face.
Boom!
"Lightspeed Kick!"
Before the Ice Mass completely dispersed, a yellowish laser beam, as thick as a normal person's waist, rushed forward and hit Kaido's shoulder with a bang, sending him flying.
"Kaido! You Bastard! You have got a lot of guts coming here!"
Swish!
The light particles quickly condensed into shape, and Kizaru somewhat embarrassedly appeared beside Aokiji, blood at the corner of his mouth.
Just now, he had relied on his speed advantage to deal with the miscellaneous army brought by Kaido first. However, Kaido treated it as a sign of being looked down upon. In an explosive outburst, Kizaru almost couldn't catch his breath.
"... ... ... ... ..."
Coming at me again would still put you at a disadvantage.
Aokiji glanced at him strangely.
Similarly, exchanging blows, Kaido would fear no one.
"How far is Zero-Sama?"
Putting away lines that might provoke Kizaru, Aokiji changed the subject.
"His injuries haven't fully healed yet. It's estimated that he'll be here in half an hour."
Kizaru smirked, "It's not a big deal. It's been almost a year."
"Don't forget, Dragon hasn't shown up for almost a year either."
Aokiji couldn't help but remind, then his expression turned strange, "And not everyone is like Rowen. It's not that easy to recover from injuries."
More speechless than dealing with all sorts of unreasonable bugs from the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Thunder Fruit) was how Rowen, no matter how he was hit, had the Undying trait.
Aokiji knew that when Rowen fought with Rayleigh, Rowen was hit by a full blow of Rayleigh's Haoshoku Haki.
Different from the oppression and intimidation of Haoshoku in ordinary situations, after the deep-level Awakening of Haki, Haoshoku Haki would turn into a real weapon, a sharp blade, directly harming the opponent's spirit, and even killing them.
Being hit by Rayleigh at zero distance, an ordinary person would have long been dead. Aokiji himself wasn't sure if he could survive, let alone be an undead person, which was the best result.
But not only did he survive, but he also had no problems at all.
This... was just too unreasonable!
"You're right. We ordinary people can't compare with that Monster."
Kizaru stood up, nodding in agreement, then rubbed his chin with his right hand, "But even the strongest self-healing ability is ineffective against damage to the consciousness, right? This time, the fruit Awakening went wrong, and Rowen can be said to have lost his biggest advantage."
"Yeah, let's hope he can pull through!"
Aokiji glanced at the Thunderlight blossoming in the distant sky, "If he pulls through, with his strength, leaving will be easy."
BIG MOM has just activated her fruit Awakening. That woman is quite terrifying!
