Within the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven Formation, there are three main zones: the “inner,” the “middle,” and the “outer.

The “middle” is where Whitebeard is, the “inner” refers to the Thunder Dragon Crescent Halberd, which is connected to Whitebeard by magnetic lines, and the “outer” is the planetary magnetic field acting on him.

Fighting the “outer” zone is futile.

Rowen doesn’t control that zone, otherwise it wouldn’t be a chaotic magnetic storm area.

The only way to break the formation is to resist the “inner” zone.

As Whitebeard said, even if only 1 percent or 0.1 percent of the feedback reaches the Thunder Dragon Crescent Halberd, Rowen cannot remain completely unaffected.

Through his actions, Whitebeard showed Rowen the existence of a flaw within the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven Formation.

He knew that Rowen had such a move, but he didn’t know what it was.

Because he knew it, his pride made him despise the evasion.

Because it was unknown, his respect as a strong person made him dare to hurt himself to break the formation.

This is the difference in attitude between Whitebeard and BIG MOM, both of whom are Yonko.

To some, such behavior seems foolish – if he couldn’t find a way to break the formation, the result would be predictable.

But… so what?

Only by doing this can he truly be called Whitebeard!

*Bang!

Another blow struck his chest. Under the resonance, Whitebeard grunted and blood began to drip from the corner of his mouth.

*Bang!

Another blow shattered Rowen’s hands into lightning snakes. The thunder dragon’s crescent halberd let out a mournful cry and flew away uncontrollably like a broken dragon.

As the thunder halberd left the ground, the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven Formation was shattered!

“Gūlālālā, I never thought there would be a day when I would have to rely on it to save my life. I always thought that ability was useless!”

“Gūlālālālālā!”

With the pressure released, the magnetic storm exploded, spreading out in a palpable shockwave and sending up a cloud of dust.

Whitebeard stood up and stood in the center of the crater, laughing heartily.

“Resonance,” like Rowen’s “Overload” technique, involves adding the same type of energy to the body from the outside that cannot be fully assimilated, causing damage to the body itself.

Even without his self-healing ability, Rowen would have made the same decision as Whitebeard.

**Ryusei Kazan – Meteor Volcano!!!**

Akainu had not expected the Soryu (Azure Dragon) Locking Heaven Formation to be broken head-on. Seeing Whitebeard break free, Akainu gathered magma in front of him and shot out magma balls the size of battleships.

“Bring it on!”

In high spirits, Whitebeard did not dodge and punched the air.

*Bang!

Though seemingly empty, the air produced a deafening sound. The spreading white cracks quickly covered the sky and leveled the mountain peaks.

The lava iron fist lasted less than a second before it was covered in cracks and shattered into countless sparks that lit up the sky.

**Awakening Technique- Thunderous Titan!**

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, a strong electric current appeared around Whitebeard, making his entire body tingle and slowing his reactions.

When he turned his head, Whitebeard was shocked to see a blue-glowing Thunder Giant standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him. He said, “Huh? That shape looks familiar.”

“Oh, right! Two hundred years ago, when the previous user of Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder Fruit) disappeared, he looked just like this.”

**Awakening Technique- Military Wrist – Extreme Fist – Thunder God Eight Gates Cannon!**

*Boom!

The fist filled with thunder and lightning collided heavily with Whitebeard’s fist, which was wrapped in a glowing white aura. The impact created a ripple that spread horizontally, engulfing everything in its path.

“Two hundred years ago? Have you lived two hundred years?”

Rowen sneered before he slapped Whitebeard’s hand away from the naginata, and struck again.

*Boom!*

Whitebeard countered violently. Unlike BIG MOM, who was known as a “Natural Destroyer,” Whitebeard’s origins were not as high, so his combat experience far exceeded that of BIG MOM. He blocked Rowen’s thunderous blows twice in a row.

“This world has something called visual records, brat!”

Whitebeard frowned slightly as he spoke.

Rowen’s second blow was more than three times stronger than the first!
Unaware of this, Whitebeard countered with the same force, causing his arm bones to creak under the pressure.

“Oh? Is that so? But… what does that have to do with me?!”

The third strike!

Countless lightning bolts converged on Rowen’s arm, forming a terrifying thunderstorm. With the third punch, Whitebeard’s eyebrows furrowed as he sensed something unusual.

“Not good, this combo is getting stronger with every hit!”

Whitebeard immediately realized the problem.

Rowen was stalling, using the conversation to buy time to build up a stronger punch, not expecting the first two punches to be effective, but to set up the following strikes.

“That looks like a move from ‘Black Arm’ Zephyr. I can’t take it.”

Whitebeard quickly judged.

Zephyr, a former Navy admiral known as “Black Arm,” had been a formidable opponent even to Whitebeard decades ago.

Despite his seeming lack of power, Zephyr could unleash astonishing effects.

The “black” in “Black Arm” symbolized not only his formidable armor but also his deep, unfathomable nature.

It was known that Rowen was Zephyr’s last student.

“A little resemblance” meant a guaranteed 100 percent!

Facing the three-punch combo, Whitebeard planted his left foot and spun in place.

His massive body moved with the wind, creating a powerful momentum. With the naginata in hand, Whitebeard completed his maneuver in an instant, swinging the blade toward Rowen’s back.

“What a terrifying and impressive intuition!”

The Thunder God Eight Gates Cannon was not a technique that could be easily diverted. Similar to its predecessor, Military Wrist-Deep Gate, it was a straightforward, brute-force move.

Of course, it could be redirected, but doing so would break the accumulated power, making it counterproductive.

Rowen knew his limits well. Whitebeard’s ability to intuitively sense this weakness was particularly alarming.

**Inugami Guren – Dog Biting Crimson Lotus!**

Magma quickly coiled around his arm, forming a vicious dog’s head made entirely of magma, biting fiercely at the naginata.

*Yelp!*

“A cooperative Akainu is truly terrifying.”

The naginata aimed at Rowen was deflected, creating a deep, bottomless trench upon landing, cutting through the sea and forming an abyss.

Whitebeard narrowed his long eyes slightly, turned, and swung the naginata. His red and white cloak billowed wildly in the wind, the blade’s edge slashing upward at Akainu with lightning speed.

*Boom!*

A thundering foot stomped on the handle of the naginata, forcing it back to the ground. Rowen’s blue glowing face appeared before Whitebeard, grinning.

“Don’t forget me, Whitebeard.”

**Super Electromagnetic Cannon!**

**Nether Hound!**

A blue and a red iron fist struck simultaneously. Whitebeard had to drop his naginata and spread his massive hands forward with a loud yell.

*Bang!

Blinding white light and thunderous magma exploded in place. The three fighters’ awakened powers collided, corroding the space around them as they battled in the void.

Purple-black lightning flickered between them, and even the power of Haoshoku Haki was dwarfed by the sheer intensity of the energy, unable to penetrate the vicinity of the trio.

In the midst of the stalemate, a laser beam suddenly descended from the sky.

**Heavenly Sovereign Spear!

*Whoosh. Boom!

Rowen and Akainu, both Logia Ability users, were not afraid of Kizaru’s laser causing collateral damage. They allowed the explosion to push them back, retreating from the blast.

“Kizaru…”

Whitebeard crossed his arms in front of him to block the attack, looking up as he did so.

“What have you done to my son, Marco?”

Among them, only Marco had the ability to intercept the flying ace Kizaru. With the advantage of the Phoenix Fruit, Whitebeard had full confidence in Marco if it came to a prolonged battle.

But now, with Kizaru on the front lines, what about Marco?

“Ara ara, such a terrifying aura, truly worthy of Whitebeard!”

As the dust settled, Kizaru stood in place, dressed in his usual light yellow suit, one hand in his pocket, his eyes behind the sunglasses radiating a deep, inscrutable look.

“But for that question, why not ask him yourself in hell?”

“Oh?”

Whitebeard laughed rather than show anger, though his eyes shot a cold glare that grew even darker. “Then let me trouble you to take a message to him in Hell. Tell him… I have avenged him!”
