With a soft sound, the Thunder Cloud Sword effortlessly severed the ordinary threads. However, when it collided with the thread bound to Doflamingo’s thumb, a bright spark erupted.
It couldn’t be cut!
This thread was the pinnacle of Doflamingo’s mastery over the String-String Fruit, the strongest thread born from his abilities. Even the electromagnetic sharp blade of Thunder Cloud Sword couldn’t sever it!
However, Thunder Cloud Sword, being the former Saijo O Wazamono, bolstered by Busoshoku Haki and Electromagnetic Barrier, proved incredibly resilient. It also couldn’t be destroyed by mere threads.
Both attacks failed simultaneously, yet Doflamingo refused to retreat. Flicking his fingers, he sent the thread flying toward Rowen’s neck.
“Die!”
The flexibility of the thread surpassed that of the cold weapon Thunder Cloud Sword. As it wrapped around Rowen’s neck, the Thunder Cloud Sword barely managed to intercept it, shielding its wielder from the deadly strike.
“So that’s why you never want to turn your back? Maintaining a pose is tiring, isn’t it?” Rowen’s expression remained calm in the face of the imminent danger as he spoke.
“You…!!!”
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of dread filled Doflamingo, causing him to shudder and his scalp to tingle with unease. He was certain that if he wasted even half a second trying to sever Rowen’s head, he would be instantly killed in return!
He still harbored the burning desire to bring down the world controlled by the Celestial Dragons. He couldn’t meet his end here!
Without a second thought, Doflamingo relinquished his attack and fell to the ground in a disheveled manner.
Shoo… Bang!
200 million Volt·Meteor Spear!
An unknown lightning bolt suspended in the air, radiating a pure and holy white thunder, descended upon them with an incredible speed!
Like a ripple slicing through the river of time, it moved swiftly, leaving behind mesmerizing fringes in mid-air as it tore through the blue sky.
An unknown lightning bolt, suspended in the air like a divine manifestation, descended upon the battlefield with unparalleled speed. Its brilliance illuminated the surroundings, casting a holy white glow that seemed to transcend the realm of mortals.
The thunderous force behind it sliced through the fabric of time, creating a ripple that reverberated through the very essence of existence.
It tore through the atmosphere, leaving behind mesmerizing fringes that danced in mid-air, a visual testament to its unstoppable power. The once serene blue sky was now marred by the destructive force of nature.
“You…!!” Dante’s fury surged within him as he stood on the ground, his pupils contracting in both fear and rage. Without uttering a single word, he swiftly reached into his “Treasure Bag” and retrieved a new item— a pair of sunglasses.
With a determined gesture, he slid the shades over his eyes, as if preparing himself for the imminent chaos that was about to unfold.
Boom Rumble!
As fate would have it, the trajectory of the Meteor Spear coincided with Doflamingo’s prone position on the ground.
The explosive shockwaves and searing heat engulfed him, eliciting agonized screams as he was violently thrown and rolled away from the center of the battlefield. His body tumbled, battered by the destructive forces unleashed by the celestial lightning.
…
The brilliance of the Thunderlight overwhelmed everything in sight, rendering the heavens and the earth mere shadows in comparison.
It was a spectacle that showcased the full destructive power of the Thunder-Thunder Fruit. The Meteor Spear that streaked through the air possessed an unfathomable might, capable of obliterating entire islands in an instant.
However…
“So, as I said before, you won’t be able to harm even a single blade of grass here…”
Swish!
Boom!
Following a blinding flash of white light, Rowen’s voice reverberated through the air, and the startled soldiers lifted their heads, realizing that they remained unscathed.
“What just happened?”
“The attack… stopped?”
“Look over there!”
In the distance, the radiant white light swiftly dissipated, revealing Rowen standing with his hands extended out as if cradling a football, clutching the lightning within his palms.
Yes, Lightning!
It was an incredibly incongruous sight, capable of shattering the perception of most individuals. Through some enigmatic means, Rowen had managed to forcibly restrain the devastating electrical currents unleashed by the Meteor Spear.
The Thunderlight, which brimmed with destructive energy, converged toward the center and swiftly condensed into a compact sphere.
Its proximity to the ground was less than twenty centimeters!
Yet, this short distance seemed like an insurmountable abyss, effectively separating the thunder, with its annihilative aura, from the ground. Not even a trace of damage was left on the terrain.
“You’re quite naive, Doflamingo…”
Dante’s lips curled into a contemptuous smirk as he removed his sunglasses and rubbed his weary eyes.
Rowen regarded the Thunder God Seal as a “Certificate from the Gods,” not out of arrogance, but because in this state, mere distance held no significance for him.
The range covered by his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) encompassed the scope of his attacks. There would be no loss of power, and every position within that range could unleash an equal level of devastation!
The “Spatial problem” that nobody could evade had disappeared before their eyes.
In other words, in this form, Rowen became the master of this space covered by his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki)!
Naturally, it wasn’t as mysterious as it appeared.
Thanks to his Thunder-Lightning Human form, Rowen’s Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) had grown exceedingly sensitive to electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves he could sense were naturally under his control, acting as extensions of his own limbs.
The Thunder God’s Judgment, an Over-The-Horizon strike, was the result of this extension. However, previously, the electric current lacked sufficient intensity, necessitating Zephyr’s “Military Wrist·Deep Peaks” to ensure the attack’s effectiveness.
Once Rowen had developed the electric current to a suitable intensity, he would unleash an immense high-voltage current from his body. It would trace back along the feedback of electromagnetic waves, enveloping the area covered by his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki).
Then, harnessing the power bestowed by the Thunder-Thunder Fruit, he would transform the almost nonexistent electromagnetic waves into high-amplitude, high-frequency oscillations, altering the magnetic field within that range.
Whenever required, he could instantaneously manipulate the evolved electromagnetic waves to form thunderous attacks!
It might not be scientific, but within the world of One Piece, this was considered science… even Vegapunk couldn’t escape this paradox.
Thus, distance held no meaning for Rowen. Once he activated the Thunder God Seal, all the electric currents within the area of his Observation Haki became extensions of his own being.
With a mere thought, whether it was the G-10 Branch or Angel Island, there would be no limitations of distance.
The Meteor Spear appeared to descend from the sky, exuding its destructive presence, but in reality, it was merely traces of electric current held within Rowen’s body. He could halt or disperse them at will.
