As for what Rowen did that made Dante call him a crazy man, it would begin with a sunny afternoon with no one to provoke anyone.
The soldiers, who were suffering from sobriety because of Rowen’s orders, complained as they went about their business, while Dante took out his beloved sword and went on the deck to continue his practice.
In order to master Observation Haki, Rowen had locked himself in the training room for a few days, and Dante had a rare good time without being disturbed by the said person.
But the sky did not remain beautiful for long. The weather on the Grand Line was unpredictable.
One minute ago, it was still sunny without any clouds in sight and one minute later, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a Thunder Rain poured down upon the ship.
The soldiers quickly acted and they began to direct the Ship outside the dark cloud area, trying to escape from the Thunder Rain.
At this moment, a Thunder Strike slashed straight towards the Marine Battleship!
The mighty Sky Thunder Strike was like a War Spear thrown by a God, it was unstoppable!
After a while, a hole was made in the Marine Battleship due to the Thunder Strike. While Dante arranged for someone to put out the fire, he went to find Rowen to ask him to do something about it.
As a Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability user, Rowen can fly into the sky to break up the dark clouds, their ship would be able to bear with some Thunder Strikes but it won’t last forever.
Another Thunder Pillar struck down towards the hip as Dante went to find Rowen.
Then the third Thunder Pillar, then the fourth Thunder Pillar…
The Thunder Strikes seemed to be controlled by someone as they only hit one spot on the Battleship.
At first, Dante still had some doubts in his heart but when he found out that the lightning would only hit one spot, he suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart.
Because he found that the place getting bombed by the Lightning Strikes was the side of Rowen Training Room!
Finally, the last Thunder Strike struck down and blasted through the Training Room.
Rowen held the Thunder Cloud Sword in his hand and he had a dumbfounded expression on his face as he looked at it, it was as if his brain had been fried due to the many Thunder Strikes.
The extremely high voltage current spread wildly in the Training Room and it kept rushing towards Thunder Cloud Sword.
It seems that the Thunder Cloud Sword was stimulated by the external lightning and the Thunder Gem on top of the Sword broke out at this moment, and at the same time, it drew Rowen’s Thunder-Lighting Human’s thunder force, forming a circle of huge electricity that covered the entire Battleship!
This is the passive effect of the Thunder Gem in preventing the Thunder Cloud blade from being damaged by lightning. The Thunder Cloud Sword disperses lightning strikes with electricity, which was once seen on Hell Island.
But this time, it wasn’t just the natural ones that were being dispersed, it was the high-voltage currents that were being pulled from inside him!
With the support of Rowen, the protection of the Thunder Cloud blade by the Thunder Gems is directly magnified to the extent that it covers the entire Marine Battleship! Rowen is fearless towards its as a Thunder-Lighting Human, but other people…
Dante fell down at this moment. He looked at Rowen as he stepped out of the Thunder Pillar…
Mmp!
Now that Rowen was asking about the weather again, Dante couldn’t help but shudder. Although he didn’t know who the target is, he would still allow himself to mourn for them for three seconds.
Rowen is not only a Humanoid Self-Propelled Monitoring Den Den Mushi but he is also a Humanoid Self-Propelled Lightning Rod!!
Dante hanged up the Den Den Mushi as a soldier walked over and handed a newspaper to him.
“Lieutenant Commander Dante, we found this!”
“This is?”
Dante gave out a startled cry, and after a moment, he seemed to have come to an understanding.
“So that’s it, that’s how it is! You are a member of the so-called Peace-Seeking Faction, aren’t you?”
Dante smacked his lips as he walked over to David and Minai with a smile on his face and said, “That’s why you wanted to transfer us to facilitate the Pirate United Army’s attack on Pucci …… If I guessed it correctly then King Lapnis is likely unaware of the news of our arrival and he must have thought that the Marines had not sent reinforcements or it may be possible that he is already in your hands and there was nothing he could do about it, right?”
David and Minai were surprised at first because what Dante had said was very close to reality.
“Yes… So what?! We are an Allied Kingdom Member!! You will soon meet your end!!”
Count David threatened Dante in a hoarse voice and said: “I will report your abuse of power to the World Government! You Marines are not qualified to interfere in the internal affairs of an Allied Kingdom! You will be sent to the Military Court!”
“That’s very nice and all, but…… When it comes to Pirates, it’s no longer a matter of internal affairs, you should see it clearly ……”
Dante refused to comment on David’s threat as he shook his head and reminded him with a sneer: “And it’s a pity that the King recognized by the World Government is only Lapnis. Your behavior does not represent the Internal Affair of this Kingdom. You have colluded with pirates and you tried to shake the relationship between the World Government and the Allied Kingdom! You would be punished for your crime!!”
Cang!!
Dante pulled out the Sword from his waist and put it on David’s heavy collar which was already soaked with a cold sweat, and said, “Speak, where is King Lapnis? I hope you haven’t done anything stupid yet!”
…
Santra Town, a coastal town that makes its living from fishing.
The place where the Pirate United Army landed was here and they turned this place into a purgatory on earth. However, it was because that everyone died that Crocodile and Jino were not discovered by anyone, and they peacefully stayed here.
At this moment, in a small building that barely maintained its stability, Crocodile put away the Den Den Mushi in his hand and spoke with a solemn expression on his face.
“The situation is not right! Rowen did not arrive with the Marine force, he disappeared!”
“Nani? Disappeared?!”
A tall and sturdy black man moved for a while in the opposite of Crocodile, the tall and sturdy figure put down his dishes, and said with an unhappy expression on his face: “Crocodile, don’t you tell me that the Mission target has not come here!”
If Rowen doesn’t come to Pucci then what are they even doing here?
Jino seemed to hear a crow flying over his head, yelling: “Aho(Idiot)… Aho(Idiot)…”
“No, he must have arrived earlier!”
Crocodile remembered the intelligence about Rowen and made bold predictions: “That’s not someone who would be so easy to take down! I have put my subordinates into the Pirate United Army so Rowen many already know that the Baroque Work Agency is going to deal with him, but he shouldn’t know who would come after him. He must have wanted to find us out in advance. With the terrifying power of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he would be confident in it. But…”
“I am not to be messed with either!!!”
There was a sneer at the corner of Crocodile’s mouth as he spoke this last sentence.
