Buzz!!!
A sharp buzz, causing chest tightness and spitting of blood, abruptly exploded. Time seemed to freeze as the flying sea spray halted in mid-air, rapidly vibrating, then morphing into spherical droplets.
Time hadn’t truly stopped, but after Rowen unleashed his thunderous power, the surrounding space was locked down.
A powerful magnetic surge pinned everything in place, rendering escape impossible.
Zeus suddenly found himself in horror as the electricity coursing through his body stopped abruptly. Without the current support, although its mind remained clear, its body couldn’t move.
At this moment, if someone were outside the range, they would witness that with Rowen launching his Awakening ultimate move, this sea had fallen into a peculiar state of solidification!
“Thunder Extreme Coffin: Locking the skies, trapping the land!”
It didn’t have a fixed appearance; it was simply Rowen leveraging the powerful current gathering in the sky after activating his fruit’s Awakening to lock everything in space with electromagnetic force.
The specific effect could be likened to the Electromagnetic Barrier on the Thunder Dragon Crescent-sided Halberd, but in reverse— want to move freely? Break through the barrier first.
“Not good, he’s going to kill Zeus!”
Seeing Rowen’s gaze locked in position, Prometheus suddenly awakened from its daze.
The three of them were special Homies created by BIG MOM using fragments of her soul, having a certain soul connection with her. If Zeus were to be killed, it would spell disaster for BIG MOM!
Moreover, Homies had their own personalities.
Who would want to die if they could avoid it?
“We must save him!”
But…
“We can’t move!”
Despair filled Prometheus’s rolling eyes.
While thunder wouldn’t cause much interference to its fiery body, the restraining effect was impeccable. At this moment, it was forcibly compressed from the size of a small island to that of a basketball, utterly immobile.
BIG MOM noticed this too, but even though she could move, she couldn’t spare a hand at the moment.
Bang!!!
A fist-sized God’s Cry Shot could destroy an entire island. What about a giant-scale God’s Cry Shot the size of a hundred-meter Giant’s fist?
Anyway, sinking Cake Island was enough.
“Wicked Black Prison!”
Naturally, BIG MOM couldn’t allow that to happen. The biggest flaw in this battle was that the battlefield was too close to the interior lands of Totto Land.
As long as Cake Island had an accident, BIG MOM’s pirate crew would never be able to hold their heads up again. Even if there was a chance to counterattack Marine Headquarters or Marineford, it would be a pitiful and hysterical attempt.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
BIG MOM opened her mouth wide, and three substantial beams of black light, resembling tangible entities, spewed out— or was it vomited out?
Judging from her expression, she probably didn’t enjoy this feeling.
The God’s Cry Shot disappeared in an instant. BIG MOM had only one chance to act, and if she missed it, there would be no turning back.
So, in response to Prometheus’s plea for help, BIG MOM chose to ignore it.
You were created by me using fragments of my soul. Isn’t it normal for you to serve me now?
Tsk! Tsk!
Three beams of black light emitted piercing screeches as they scattered in mid-air, each with a peculiarly twisted human face. As a result, as soon as they appeared, they seemed lifelike, swiftly intertwining into a web, giving off a sensation reminiscent of Doflamingo’s Kumo no Sugaki (Spider Net Wall).
The white glass sphere struck it, causing the entire net to cave in backward by hundreds of meters. Combined with the large normal area at the bottom of the black net, the shape was quite bizarre!
“Get in there!”
BIG MOM roared in anger, and the unsightly black net immediately began to contract, enveloping the God’s Cry Shot within it.
After a moment…
Bang! Bang!
In the moment when the black net expanded frantically due to the explosion, Rowen acted.
Gungnir!
A pristine thunder spear pierced straight into the center of Zeus’s cloudy body. Rowen approached it, grasping the spear’s tail, and with a swing of his arm…
Zi Zi!
Great Electricity Producer!
Rowen’s experience on Hell Island told him that there was a hierarchy among electrical currents.
Facing the abundant electricity expelled by the White Snake on Hell Island, he wouldn’t be harmed due to his Thunder-Lightning Human physique, but neither could he move.
Now, applying the same situation to Zeus, who lacked a true body and was merely constructed from a cloud, it immediately emitted a piercing scream.
“Aaaahhhhh!!!”
Its already sizable body suddenly swelled again, and under the Thunder Pillar connecting the sea and sky, cracks appeared in the black cloud body, followed by…
Bang!
“Zeus!”
Prometheus roared furiously as its compressed body showed signs of breaking free.
“How could it… Zeus, that little devil?!”
Napoleon’s expression stiffened as he watched the black cloud gradually dissipate within the Thunder Pillar, his expression bewildered.
“Stubborn fool!”
Confirming that Zeus had “disappeared” in the attack, Rowen dissipated the thunder and reclaimed Gungnir, then turned to the other two Homies with bloodthirsty intent.
“Next, who’s going first?”
“I’ll go toe to toe with you!”
Prometheus roared furiously, the electromagnetic surge that had trapped it vibrating rapidly. The atmosphere appeared with mottled traces, then with a loud “bang,” as if shattering glass, it fiercely lunged towards Rowen.
“Indeed! Because I’m still not familiar with the power of Awakening, it’s surprising that it could break free,” Rowen silently pondered, filling the gaps in his knowledge during the battle.
So, it wasn’t surprising that the Thunder Extreme Coffin couldn’t trap BIG MOM right now. But the future remained uncertain.
Glancing into the distance, BIG MOM controlled the black sphere, continuously stabilizing the souls within.
The most dangerous explosive period had passed. As long as there were no surprises, Cake Island would be safe. It was delicate work, so there was no time to focus here.
Therefore…
Hiss!
The enormous spear tore through the endless flames of Prometheus, the scene was heart-stopping.
“A mere Homie dares to be so arrogant in front of me?!”
“Asshole!”
Being split in half didn’t cause much harm to Prometheus. Homies of their elemental nature, like Logia users, had no vital points. Unless completely obliterated inside and out like Zeus, they wouldn’t even be injured.
“Go to hell!”
After being split into two, Prometheus hesitated for a second, then the searing flames surged again, forming two fiery cobras—one on the left and one on the right—lunging at Rowen.
Thud!
Facing such weak retaliation, Rowen casually raised his arm, swiftly grabbing the flames with both hands as if lightning, and then he had the two fire serpents, Orochi, by the neck.
“Let me see how long you can hold on!”
Looking at Prometheus’s terrified gaze, Rowen grinned crookedly.
Great Electricity Producer!
“Let me go!”
Prometheus struggled in horror, feeling the familiar sensation of being squeezed, leaving it nowhere to hide or avoid.
And at this moment, from Rowen’s palm holding it, Prometheus already sensed the threat of death.
“Stop it!”
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.
Although Napoleon was often wielded as a weapon by BIG MOM, it didn’t mean it lacked the ability to move freely.
In fact, among all of BIG MOM’s Homies, Napoleon’s movement speed was second only to its two companions, Zeus and Prometheus.
Seeing Rowen’s intentions, without a second thought, Napoleon wanted to intervene to help, swinging down towards Rowen’s head.
But…
Heaven-resisting Thunder Cry: Third Style: Cloud Dragon Kill!
Clang!
The clash of metal resounded, deafening. Faced with that familiar move, Napoleon’s eyes showed a hint of fear.
The last time it faced this move, it almost couldn’t recover, until BIG MOM went to great lengths to fill it with soul fragments and reshape its body, which saved its life.
Now, facing the Cloud Dragon Kill again, Napoleon involuntarily hesitated for a second.
“I really should’ve had the Thunder Dragon Crescent-sided Halberd handy.”
Rowen thought silently as he suddenly exerted force, thrusting the thunder spear ruthlessly forward, causing sparks to burst in the air.
Crack!
Boom!
“No!!!”
