As an assassin who knew his limits, Chaton slipped away decisively to support the main battlefield.

On the sheer cliffs of McKinley Island, feeling the pain coursing through his body, Rowen shook his head to clear it and pulled himself up.

“*Cough cough… Admiral Akainu, you’re not dead, are you?*”

“Hmph!”

Hearing Akainu’s contemptuous grunt from the “next room”, Rowen breathed a sigh of relief.

This was exactly why he hadn’t wanted a direct confrontation with Whitebeard. The pain of losing a child was something only a father could truly understand.

Although Whitebeard’s current strength might not be as formidable as it was in his golden heyday, his lethal potential had undoubtedly doubled!

Just think, if someone was willing to die, what else could they not do?

The word “family” was taboo for Whitebeard. As an orphan from a war-torn nation, Whitebeard valued his family above all else.

The reason Rowen dared to take on the pirates was simple: he didn’t want to die!

As long as he could delay it, Whitebeard would undoubtedly be defeated.

Although the process was extremely unpleasant, especially for Akainu…

In one fell swoop, two of the Marines’ best contemporary forces were sent flying!

Akainu deeply suspected that Rowen wanted to kill him in order to advance himself!

But now was not the time to ponder these various thoughts. Suppressing his injuries with controlled breathing, Akainu’s eyes narrowed. “Here it comes!”

*Boom!*

Accompanied by intense vibrations, everything in the sky and on the ground changed color in an instant.

On the lush green mountains and forests, the sunlight vanished without a trace, replaced by a darkened world.

*Buzz! Buzz!

The terrible tremor caused the earth to shake like an earthquake. Tons of rocks tumbled down the cliffs and crashed into the sea, making a huge splash.

Finally…

*Bam!*

The sea split apart!

The ocean water, spanning thousands of kilometers in length and width, was sliced into pieces like a cake, the cuts neat and precise on the sea’s surface.

At the front of the Navy’s position, chaos erupted immediately. Battleships collided and were destroyed by each other, losing their firepower advantage in an instant.

The sea seemed to welcome its ruler as Whitebeard’s Tremor dominated and raised a huge “ocean floor” that supported [Moby Dick] as it charged into the battlefield. Whitebeard roared angrily, “Marco, hold on, block Kizaru!”

“Jozu, Vista, unite with others to eliminate the Marine battleships!”

“As for those two… leave them to me!”

With a commanding Haki, Whitebeard issued orders. Combined with the awe-inspiring scenes of the inverted sky, howling winds, and the changing colors of the world, the terrifying power of the Yonko was fully revealed.

“We can’t let him continue to control the ocean, or our battleships will be wiped out!”

Akainu said with a deep voice.

By deliberately manipulating the ocean, Whitebeard concentrated the Navy’s large forces on one ocean floor and used superior military power on other floors to destroy the divided minority forces.

By creating manpower advantages, the battlefield tilted in favor of the pirates. If this continued, more fleets would be divided and devoured by the enemy.

“Leave it to me!”

As for the attack range, as a user of the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Fruit), Rowen feared no one.

Awakening Technique – Heaven Manipulating Thunder God- Drums of Heaven!

*Boom! Boom! Boom!

Twelve thunderous drums appeared in the sky, each of them causing a tingling sensation on the skin, causing Whitebeard to instantly turn around.

Skyquake!

Understanding what Rowen was up to, Whitebeard naturally wouldn’t let him succeed.

The edge of the naginata blade, wrapped in a blazing ball of Tremor Light, slashed upward recklessly.

*Shua!*

The sky split open, forming a trench that stretched tens of thousands of meters out of sight. The shockwave struck heavily, instantly dispersing half of the attacked Drums of Heaven.

However, only half of them dispersed.

Even when all twelve Drums of Heaven were concentrated, they couldn’t block Whitebeard’s explosive attack.

But their wide dispersal range meant that attacks launched on the sea surface, such as the one against the Marine, were difficult to disperse all at once unless they flew like BIG-MOM at close range.

The same goes for anyone else…

Compared to the attack range, Rowen really never feared anyone!

*Boom!*

With a drumbeat, a thousand feet of thunderlight erupted.

The world seemed overexposed as if it had been overly filtered, and the ultimate and subtle electric light made people’s eyes glow and tears flow.

As the drumbeat sounded, a huge ocean floor suddenly burst open, and the battleships on it fell back into normal sea, finally gaining control.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!

The war drums beat with the sky, accompanied by thunder.

It seemed that the scene of the world’s doomsday had taken countless pirates by surprise. Only those who had truly faced Soryu knew why Soryu had the confidence to scare the Yonko in the New World.

Six thunderous drums sounded in succession, and pieces of seawater were scattered and enveloped by the Tremor Force above them, returning to normal.

Seeing the pirate ships and battleships fighting together, Whitebeard turned his head with anger in his eyes, and with heavy steps, he stepped on the exploded bow whale head of [Moby Dick].

“Say your prayers, Soryu!”

The blinding white light caused Whitebeard to step into the void like a cannonball rushing toward the cliff, his naginata held high, and he split the mountain.

In this regard…

“How about you create a distraction and I’ll do the main attack?”

Rowen turned his head seriously and asked.

“Is it still necessary to share this now?”

Akainu roared through pointed teeth, not even knowing where his baseball cap had gone. Then he took a deep breath. “Ready!”

Meigo – Nether Hound!!!

The momentum of this single blade was completely unstoppable. Combined with his seven-meter tall, muscular body, his fierce attire of a bare-chested robe made him resemble a giant from mythical legends who split the heavens and the earth.

Akainu’s Meigo – Nether Hound flew into the air, instantly torn apart by the knife light, and then continued its momentum, sweeping down from the mountaintop.

*Bang… KāChā!!*

Debris splattered and bangs continued.

A mountain cliff hundreds of meters high and thousands of meters long was split in half with a bang!

Awakening Technique…!

Taking advantage of Akainu’s distraction, Rowen calculated Whitebeard’s trajectory, his thunder halberd glowing endlessly in his hand, and charged straight out.

*Chirp!*

The pure white, flawless pillar of light pierced through but left no trace of injury.

Seeing this scene, Rowen and Akainu were overjoyed.

Success!

The greatest challenge of the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven was to strike.

Unlike Rowen’s other moves, which relied on the speed of thunder itself to move quickly, this move moved under the pressure of the planet’s magnetic field, resulting in a speed… just a little faster than a bullet.

For opponents at this level, if they are careful, they can easily dodge it, just like he did with BIG-MOM.

Of course, whether Whitebeard was unaware of this or simply deflected it, it was a success.

The electric current flowed into Whitebeard’s body, and Rowen held the end of the thunder halberd, thrusting it heavily into the ground, and the thunder dragon crescent halberd pierced the ground heavily.

Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven Formation, activate!

*Bang!

The raging planetary magnetic field turned into a gravitational black hole at that moment. Hard rocks instantly crumbled, and hundred-meter-high trees were pushed back to the ground from their treetops, forming “tree cakes” that stuck tightly to the ground.

Deep craters with depths of more than ten meters appeared uniformly within a radius of one kilometer!

Whitebeard fell heavily from the sky, kneeling on one knee, his hands gripping the naginata handle for support, unable to move.

His cloak clung to him as if soaked in seawater. In the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven Formation, even Willowy couldn’t fly, like the legendary River of Heaven, where feathers don’t float and birds find it hard to cross.

But what Rowen found laughable was that even though the gravitational pressure within the formation would make Fujitora tremble with fear, Whitebeard’s moustache… those two upright whiskers on his lips still pointed upward, showing no signs of drooping.

“Gūlālālā!”

“Is this the technique you two used to capture Dragon?”

*Bang!*

Gravity intensified once again, directly crushing the dense layers of stone and earth where Whitebeard was, sinking him knee-deep into the mud.

Yet his expression remained remarkably calm. He even had the energy to gesture around him. “Truly powerful!”

“Ordinary people trapped in this cannot break free at all. It seems so perfect… wouldn’t you agree, Soryu (Azure Dragon)?”

The biggest difference between the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven and the gravity field created by Fujitora’s Gravity Fruit is that the foundation of the former is the planet itself, while Fujitora’s Gravity Fruit changes the gravity field with itself as the support.

How can a person and a planet be compared?

At least for now, Rowen couldn’t see any comparison.

So in battles of this level, Fujitora’s gravitational field still had the possibility of escape, while resistance against Rowen’s Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven would only increase the pressure.

“But I don’t believe it!”

Suddenly, Whitebeard grinned, his gaze burning into Rowen.

“No technique is flawless!”

“Even if it’s only 1 percent, 0.1 percent, the internal pressure will be transferred to you in the same way, Soryu (Azure Dragon)!”

*Bang!!!*

With great effort, Whitebeard raised his hand and, under the shocked gaze of both of them, struck his chest heavily with a fist wrapped in Tremor’s white light.

Using the external Tremor to amplify his own Tremor, he violently unleashed a more powerful shockwave. This method was similar to Rowen’s Overload mode but more explosive.

Rowen’s arm trembled, not out of fear or excitement, but because everything that happened on Whitebeard was fed back through magnetic lines into the Thunder Halberd, causing it to vibrate at a high frequency that was almost impossible to hold steady.

“I found the answer, didn’t I?”

Whitebeard grinned broadly.

Indeed, through this unconventional self-inflicted method, he had found a way to break free from the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locked Heaven. He might not have the power to resist the planet itself, but he could resist Rowen.
