Dressrosa, Underground Port.
“Just f*cking die already!”
As soon as the words fell, Rowen transformed into a black streak, crossing a distance of more than ten meters in a blink of an eye. He raised his right hand high, with thunderous power swirling around his fist. He had learned this technique from Zephyr, and it sealed off all of Lao G’s possible evasive maneuvers, leaving him with no escape.
Lao G, equally skilled in techniques, recognized the power behind Rowen’s punch. He let out a roar and countered by unleashing a kick, enveloping his right leg with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki). The kick struck out like a steel pillar.
It was a desperate attempt to exchange injuries!
But Rowen wouldn’t give him the opportunity. Since the moment his killing intent surged, Rowen had no intention of holding back.
A lion pounces on its prey with all its might!
Shoo…!
Lao G’s leg swept past, failing to make contact with anything solid. Instead, it passed straight through Rowen’s body, accompanied by crackling electrical currents that were trapped within the broken body by some mysterious force.
Indeed, Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) could make contact with the Logia’s elementalized body, but if the Logia user preemptively created space for elementalization, all that Lao G would hit was empty air!
“Nani?!” Lao G was taken aback, wanting to change tactics, but it was already too late.
Squelch!
A piercing sound echoed as surprise flickered in Lao G’s eyes, but before it could fully manifest, his eyes turned lifeless. Rowen’s five fingers were like five sharp knives, easily piercing through his nose bridge and directly grabbing hold of the soft, unknown organism within his skull. Immediately, high-voltage electricity surged through it.
In the face of the vast current, the object that Rowen grabbed instantly turned into a charred mass!
Zzzt… Boom!
One second later, a large amount of electricity overflowed from the wound, followed by a loud explosion as Lao G’s entire head disappeared without a trace.
Thud…
The headless body collapsed, rapidly reverting back to its frail, emaciated old age appearance. With a flicker of electricity in his hands, Rowen turned the various impurities on his hands into ashes with a single clap.
After completing all this, Rowen leisurely lifted his head.
“So, the remaining executives are in the executive tower, right? It must be a secret chamber,” He murmured.
The executive tower was also within the range covered by his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki), but he didn’t sense any signs of living beings. However, since Lao G was able to come out from there, it meant that there were other unknown secret chambers within, blocking the infiltration of Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki).
“But that doesn’t matter right now!”
Looking through the opening in the ceiling where he could see the sky growing dark. Rowen didn’t have much time to continue playing hide-and-seek with them.
‘If you want to hide, then hide. In the end, the outcome won’t change.’ With this thought in mind, the sky suddenly became shrouded in dark clouds.
The clouds floating high in the sky quickly gathered under the influence of the electrical currents, gradually forming a huge dark cloud region.
Outside the port, on the submarine of the Qilin, Dante, who was searching for Doflamingo, was slightly startled when he saw the scene and he muttered to himself in astonishment.
“Oye, Oye, what’s going on?”
The next moment, Dante snapped out of it and angrily picked up a Den Den Mushi, shouting, “Everyone, stay away from the dark cloud region! Immediately, evacuate from that region right now!!”
The soldiers who received the order were a little dumbfounded.
‘It was one thing to station us a kilometer away, but now they want us to immediately evacuate.
Are they playing with us?!’
However, soldiers must obey orders as their duty, so they didn’t dare to complain. The Marine soldiers didn’t hesitate and started retreating with their respective commanders.
Bang… Boom!
At this moment, a thunderous sound reverberated through the sky. The dark clouds, filled with accumulated clouds, writhed and released deafening thunder.
“By the way… Don’t you guys find this thing a bit familiar?”
A soldier rubbed his itchy ear and said so.
After a moment of silence, the people around him turned their heads and looked at the dark clouds in the sky… and the next moment.
“F*ck! Damn it all to hell!!”
“It’s Vice Admiral Rowen’s Heavenly Punishment attack!!”
“What?! The Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder that annihilated the entire pirate group on Jaya Island in one move?!”
The soldiers were instantly terrified, gripping their guns and rushing away.
Since Mozambia was transferred to G-5 Branch, many soldiers stationed at Headquarters were assigned to Rowen. They had witnessed the Thunder Rain on Jaya Island and naturally knew the terrifying power of this move.
Looking at the range covered by the dark clouds now, it was unsafe to be even within a three-kilometer range, let alone one kilometer!
The scene instantly became unbearable to watch. Elite soldiers who had emerged from the Marine Headquarters now looked like scattered soldiers who had suffered a defeat and were fleeing in disarray.
But this decision was the right one.
Just as the soldiers were running outward for one or two minutes, the next moment…
Bang!!
An unimaginably intense explosion occurred at the center of Dressrosa. The explosive shockwave overturned the soldiers who were running frantically. The fire reached the sky, and the entire Dressrosa trembled ceaselessly!
The terrifying tremor instantly stirred up towering waves while Dante’s pupils contracted, and he shouted in anger.
“Prepare the main cannon! Blast through the massive waves!”
After roaring, Dante’s face turned gloomy as he looked at Dressrosa.
“Damn it! Has Doflamingo gone insane?!”
Yes, it was Doflamingo.
Because Rowen hadn’t detonated the dark clouds, which continued to gather power in the sky, there was no movement from them. Instead, this explosion came from underground.
The time rewound back one minute.
Underground Port, Executive Tower.
Lao G’s headless body appeared on the screen, causing Baby 5 and Dellinger to fall into silence within the secret chamber.
The power difference between them and their enemy was too great!
Not only did they fail to buy any time, but Lao G couldn’t even pose a slight challenge to Rowen before his death.
With the situation at hand, Dellinger was no longer as afraid as before. The gruesome fate of their comrades had numbed him to the concept of death and he was no stranger to death.
“Let’s Detonate directly, Baby 5…” Dellinger said.
“Are you sure?” After a moment of silence, Baby 5 asked, contemplating the decision.
If they Detonated directly, they wouldn’t have time to escape through the Underground passage.
“Let it be… Now that young lord has escaped, if we can help young lord get rid of this big trouble, it can be considered as the last thing we do for young lord.”
In this life-and-death situation, Dellinger’s state of mind had changed drastically.
If he could survive, his strength would surely skyrocket due to this but that was impossible…
