The breaking of the Prison Dragon Lock Sky Formation didn't surprise Rowen. After all, it was a technique, an inanimate object. Existence meant logic, and logic could be broken.
But humans were different. The outcome of battles was determined by humans, by the living.
"The Soul-Soul Fruit is truly extraordinary!"
He had already experienced the unreasonable assimilation of the Soul-Soul Fruit after his awakening, but the current abilities of Big Mom still exceeded his expectations.
The intensity!
The striking distance!
Rowen seriously doubted that the living Mera-Mera Fruit Ability user, Ace, could reach this level.
Even though the Soul Soul Fruit was a Paramecia, it could make Logias feel ashamed.
"But it's still not enough to deal with me!"
Boom!
Thunderlight surged in all directions in space, shaking the world.
Rowen's arm wrapped around the thunder, enveloping it like a storm. The terrifying momentum dissipated, stopping the approaching sea of flames for a moment.
"Haoshoku Haki!"
Big Mom was no fool. She immediately recognized the true nature of this disturbance.
Only Awakening could confront Awakening, but the powerful Haoshoku Haki interfered with reality, exerting a certain restraining effect on all energy attacks, growing stronger with the wielder.
Undoubtedly, since Rowen was able to stop her awakening power for a moment, he was already a formidable opponent on par with her.
This kind of Haoshoku Haki was the best proof!
Without a technique name, he simply struck flat.
Boom... Crack!
With a single blow, the towering sea of flames receded, creating a breathtaking scene! Like the candles on a birthday cake about to be extinguished, they gradually dissipated, leaving the witnesses filled with anticipation.
"Brat, are you mocking me?"
Big Mom wasn't scared, just angry.
The last time they fought, Rowen hadn't shown this direct use of Haoshoku to nullify Awakening Power, so Big Mom couldn't help but think that Rowen hadn't used his full strength the last time they fought.
In fact, she guessed right.
But it wasn't that Rowen was deliberately toying with her; it was simply beyond his abilities.
"Die!"
With a wave of her hands, ghostly white shadows appeared as if from the underworld, enveloping Big Mom in a sinister aura. With Busoshoku Haki supporting her fists, she tore through the surging Thunderlight Electric Net and rushed toward Rowen with the momentum of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning.
But this was exactly what Rowen wanted.
Awakening Technique: Military Wrist Extreme Fist - Thunder God Eight Gates Cannon!
"The same move won't work on me twice!"
Big Mom recognized what Rowen's fist gathering thunderlight represented. The scar that tore through her heart still lingered on her belly. Big Mom had been preparing for the next meeting for a long time.
As she had said, once the ace was revealed, someone would always find a way to counter it.
Is the Thunder God Eight Gates Cannon powerful?
Very powerful!
Big Mom concluded that even if Kaido encountered it, if he didn't defend seriously, his bones would be shattered.
But it was still a technique, an inanimate object, a presence governed by established rules.
Soul Storm!
Big Mom suddenly stopped her steps and exhaled a stream of black clouds. Upon closer inspection, each small cloud contained a twisted face. If touched by the stream clouds, even the earth would turn gray and be stripped of its "life.
The Thunder God's Eight Gates Cannon was very dangerous, but it was only a melee technique. Since it couldn't be stopped, it was enough to prevent the user from getting close to it.
In an instant, alarm bells rang in Rowen's mind. It was a warning from Kenbunshoku Haki and the sixth sense, telling him that the outcome of rushing into the black clouds of the soul at this moment would definitely not be pleasant.
Only Awakening could face Awakening!
Rowen immediately drew back his fist and raised his arms left and right. The sky lit up with thunder and wind.
Nine dragons descend!
Roar!
Suddenly, a thousand-meter thunder dragon burst out from the black clouds, its roar echoing through the sky with countless thunderous explosions as it unleashed its power.
The black current clouds on the island, facing the thunder and lightning far more powerful than themselves, melted like butter meeting a hot knife and quickly dissipated.
After that, the second, the third... the ninth!
When the nine thunder dragons appeared in the sky at the same time, Big Mom was astonished to see Potato Chip Island begin to crumble.
The ground shook like an earthquake, buildings collapsed, and trees were uprooted! Thousands of tons of stone objects lost their balance under the magnetic storm and slowly floated up.
Even before it was formally attacked, Potato Chip Island couldn't withstand the electrical strain under the awe-inspiring power of the Nine Dragons and gradually began to collapse.
Buzz! Buzz!
The heavenly buzzing woke Big Mom from her stupor. When she looked up, she saw a huge black ball appearing in the sky, the size of which could not be described with words.
Even though only an arc of it pierced the clouds, that insignificant portion was larger than any Sea King class creature Big Mom had ever seen!
At that moment, Rowen was the thunderous God of Destruction, ready to destroy the world with his overwhelming power!
"I have many ways. Take your time to figure them out, Big Mom... before you're struck down."
With his back to the "Black Sun" Raigo - Thunder Greeting, Rowen pulled his arm down.
The next moment, the nine dragons descended rapidly, and the black ball of Raigo - Thunder Greeting was pulled down, gradually submerging the sea.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the thin layer of the sea at that moment couldn't compare to the giant Raigo - Thunder Greeting. It wasn't the sea swallowing the black orb, but the black orb swallowing the sea.
Bang!
When the black sun landed, everything was gone.
Big Mom widened her eyes, but could only watch as everything around her was engulfed by thunder, a blinding white light flashed, and amidst the thunderous roar, a huge energy spread outward, destroying everything.
Boom!
On the horizon, a blazing bright sun rose. On the distant battlefield, Garp suddenly turned around and watched the ball of white light appear on the horizon, his face twitching rapidly.
"This brat, how far does he intend to develop the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Thunder Fruit)?!"
The destructive power of the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Thunder Fruit) was terrifying, especially after the Awakening.
However, the previous user of the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Thunder Fruit) ability, who was recognized as the most powerful monster that had developed the killing power of the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Thunder Fruit) to the extreme, had never displayed such a terrifying aura of condensation, violence, and destruction.
Even though the miniature sun was thousands of miles away from them, Garp could still feel the resolute power of annihilation.
"Wow, well done, Rowen."
On another battlefield, Aokiji nonchalantly waved his Ice Mass Spear and shot down the cookie soldiers that Cracker had summoned, then turned around with some energy left over.
"I thought you were only responsible for providing support and distraction to give us time to wipe out the main force. Now it seems unnecessary."
"Alright then!"
With a withdrawn look, Aokiji's aura suddenly changed.
A sudden chill rose in the hearts of the cookie soldiers surrounding Aokiji's cracker on the distant battlefield, causing him to quickly control the outer cookie bodies to retreat.
But then...
Ice Age!
Shua!
Suddenly, the world turned pure white.
Time seemed to pause for a second, like a movie that fast-forwards through the middle and jumps straight to the end.
"Damn it, move!!"
Cracker suddenly realized that all of his proud cookie soldiers had turned into ice sculptures!
Of course, he could continue making cookies to form soldiers, but the premise was that he could break through the layer of ice that encased him. In Aokiji's serious moment, even his carefully crafted reinforced main body armor was frozen solid.
"Originally, I wanted to keep you here to attract more pirates and make it easier for me to wipe them all out."
Suddenly, Aokiji's voice rang in his ear.
Cracker looked up in panic as he saw a glimmer of light pierce the cookie armor, heading straight for him.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"0° Aurora!"
"Damn... you!"
Cracker was horrified to realize that Aokiji had known for a long time that the outer cookie was the puppet armor he had created and that his true self was hidden inside.
Freezing the armor also meant freezing himself.
"Don't worry, before the pain starts, you will be dead. You won't feel anything."
Aokiji remembered a line from the information, smiled as he spoke, and then slapped his forehead.
"Oh, I forgot, you probably can't hear what I'm saying."
Inside the cookie armor, Cracker maintained a face of shock and anger, transforming into the most realistic ice sculpture.
