A few minutes later, Rowen left as promised.
Rayleigh watched his figure and remembered what Garp had said back then…
“He will be a qualified Marine! Even if Ace and Dragon gave up on this path, he will inherit my will! And he will bring an end to this Pirate Era that Roger started!”
It had been over a decade, but Rayleigh still remembered Roger’s words before he turned himself in—”I won’t die.” Just as Roger had predicted, the Pirate Era had given birth to countless individuals who inherited his will and shook the unattainable summit.
Until Rowen appeared… The changes he brought to the Marines were terrifying, terrifying enough to make even Rayleigh shudder.
Within firing range lies Justice!
The cover of cannon fire signifies peace!
These two slogans shouted by the Marines made the old-school pirates, accustomed to boarding battles and spitting saliva at each other in naval battles, extremely uncomfortable.
They disappeared one by one in the flames, like Native Americans charging at a gunboat with axes and spears, adorning Marine’s medals of honor with their lives.
Under the overwhelming might of the Marine’s iron ships and cannons, the sea seemed to have been paused, as if someone had pressed the pause button on the era’s tide.
Just when Rayleigh thought the stalemate would continue, Rowen arrived.
“Was Roger’s target the World Government?”
No one knew the extent of the shock in Rayleigh’s heart when Rowen asked this question.
In that instant, the stagnant tide began to churn again and the still image started to move!
However, at this moment, the tide had been pushed in a direction that even he couldn’t understand, heading toward an unknown sea.
“He truly is special… Shakky, I wonder if Shanks’ bet on the New Age can stop him.”
With his gaze averted, Rayleigh held the bottle and murmured to himself.
“I understand the reasoning…”
Leaning on the bar counter, Shakky silently took a drag of her cigarette as she spoke. “But have you paid for this bottle of alcohol?”
Rayleigh: “…”
At that moment…
Boom rumble!!!
The sky became covered in dark clouds, and the winds raged. Silver serpents, like spears thrown by the gods, descended from the sky. Thunderclaps resounded throughout the Sabaody Archipelago, and almost every corner of the archipelago was struck by deafening thunder in a spectacular display.
Bang… Crack!!
A tremendous sound, like the collapse of the heavens, echoed outside the building. As they watched pirates being disintegrated bit by bit in the thunderous light, screaming in agony, the two fell silent.
After a long while, Shakky extinguished her cigarette in the ashtray and sighed.
“Why bother thinking so much?”
“The era ultimately belongs to the young…”
A Thunderain struck, and a total of 1,715 pirates perished within the entire range of the Sabaody Archipelago!
…
“That Thunderain is really terrifying…”
In Area 69, Kizaru sat on a recliner, swaying back and forth, and spoke in a nonchalant tone as he looked at the person beside him.
“Admiral Kizaru, don’t joke around. For an Admiral who is a top-level force of the World Government, my methods are only suitable for dealing with small fry.”
Rowen appeared beside Kizaru, showing a dismissive attitude towards Kizaru’s comments.
This old guy is always like this…
Despite having immeasurable power, he always likes to act as if he can’t defeat someone and praises them for being formidable. It’s a show of weakness, but with his bastard-like face, it not only fails to have any effect of showing weakness but also comes across as full of sarcasm! It’s one thing to do it in front of enemies…
But even in front of his own people, Rowen could only attribute it to his nature.
It’s all because he’s an ugly bastard…
Fortunately, due to their encounters with Caesar, the two had spent quite some time together, so Rowen understood this and didn’t take the mockery seriously.
He picked up a pastry from the table and chewed on it while asking, “Where is Saint Mjosgard? Has Sentomaru not received him yet?”
Summoning the Heavenly Punishment to lock onto the pirates in the entire archipelago’s open space took quite some time, so Sentomaru should have returned with the captive by now.
“Saint Mjosgard wanted to go back directly and took the bubble elevator to leave. He just left a little while ago…”
After saying that, Kizaru raised his head and pointed with his chin toward the sky. “Look, you can still see a bit of it.”
Sabaody was adjacent to the Red Line. From their current position, they looked up, and a massive red land stretched into the distance, blocking the sea and isolating the sky. At this moment, above the clouds, a soap bubble the size of an ant rose slowly, standing out against the backdrop of the crimson stone.
‘He went back directly?’ Rowen thought to himself while feeling a little surprised in his heart. But upon further thought, it made sense.
With Doflamingo’s situation completely settled, there was no way the remnants of the Donquixote Family, with only “abnormalities” remaining, could put up any resistance.
However, the fact that he left like this made Rowen’s expression strange.
Just think about it, he couldn’t deal with a Celestial Dragon and that Celestial Dragon seem t have all the power here… but nothing happened!
Rowen really felt like he was quite impressive!
“By the way, Vice Admiral Rowen, do you know how the outside world refers to you?”
At this moment, Kizaru suddenly brought up idle chitchat.
Rowen was slightly taken aback and instinctively answered, “Undying Vice Admiral, Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Thunder Fruit) ability user, the youngest Vice Admiral… Um… those are the ones, right?”
Surviving the explosion in Dressrosa, the discussions surrounding Rowen as the “Undying Vice Admiral” surpassed even his other feats like killing Hell Island’s Crab, being the youngest Vice Admiral, and defeating Jino…
Everyone dies at some point! That’s a common understanding among humans.
Even the mighty “Pirate King” Roger was executed by two executioners, right?
However, now the sea had produced a Monster who couldn’t die… and that was shocking news for the whole world!
He survived being drowned in the sea when it is known that only Fishman who had eaten a Devil Fruit can survive in the sea and they would only survive, they wouldn’t be able to move anymore. But even his survival can be explained away as a fluke.
But surviving from the catastrophic explosion, where all vital signs had disappeared and he was about to be buried, couldn’t be explained with common sense!
