“Playing God game—is over?!”

Enel, initially stunned by the Blue Sea dweller’s claim of seeing the future—a power Enel himself considered the epitome of an omniscient, omnipotent God—now grit his teeth, enduring the searing pain, and slowly pushed himself to his feet.

His eyes, bloodshot and blazing with fury, locked onto the man before him.

Shatter his divine dream?! Playing God game?

What kind of joke was this?

He wielded the power of lightning—a force only Gods should possess!

Able to use electromagnetic waves to amplify his Mantra, extending his perception across an entire country, monitoring the words and actions of every single citizen.

Anyone who defy his divine rules or incur his wrath would be smote by heavenly thunder, reduced to ashes.

Within this nation, he was omniscient, omnipotent!

Wasn’t that enough to be called a true God?!

Yet now, this Blue Sea man dismissed all of it—as a mere ‘game of playing God’?!

“DON’T GET SO COCKY, BLUE SEA DWELLER!” Enel roared, his eyes bloodshot as he unleashed the full power of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

CRACKLE! WHOOSH!

His body rapidly swelled, enveloped in crackling lightning, transforming into a colossal figure of pure electrical energy!

“200 MILLION VOLT—AMARU (THUNDER GOD)!!”

“How’s this?! Blue Sea dweller! MY DIVINE FORM!” Enel’s thunderous voice boomed.

——

Ultimate Technique Trait (Enel): Amaru (Thunder God) (Deep Gold): Unleashes 200 million volts of lightning, enveloping the body to become a giant of pure thunder.

——

Rowen observed this ‘Ultimate Technique’ Trait with interest.

Enel hadn’t yet Awakened his Rumble-Rumble Fruit—unlike Rowen, he couldn’t concentrate its Logia power entirely onto his fists, resorting instead to this inflated form.

But, admittedly, Enel’s control over the Rumble-Rumble Fruit surpassed Ace’s mastery of the Flare-Flare Fruit.

This Amaru form was very close to an Awakened state.

Enel was indeed talented—he had even constructed the Ark Maxim using gold—a vessel through which he could channel his fruit’s power to achieve effects mimicking Awakening.

Attacks like ‘Mamaragan’ (Heavy Thunder) and ‘Raigo’ (Thunder Welcome), when channeled through the Maxim, possessed Apex Gold level destructive power, reaching the Admiral tier.

But to achieve such combat power relying solely on an unawakened Rumble-Rumble Fruit, without Haki—it truly underscored why the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was considered one of the most powerful Devil Fruits.

Once Awakened, its power would undoubtedly far exceed the minimum Admiral threshold.

This makes sense.

No wonder the Magma-Magma Fruit, possessing the highest offensive power, allowed Akainu to achieve such devastating results—anyone who fought him ended up dead or maimed.

The power amplification from those potent Devil Fruits might be even greater than Rowen initially anticipated—Combined with his own Haōshoku Coating—the destructive force he could unleash would be frightening.

Rowen looked at Enel’s ‘Thunder God’ form, using his Observation Haki to sense the immense power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

This fruit was already as good as his—seeing its impressive display naturally pleased him.

“What’s with that look?!” Enel’s eye twitched.

His earlier rage and adrenaline rush had numbed much of the pain.

But now, having transformed into his 200 Million Volt Amaru form, Enel instinctively wanted to see this Blue Sea man’s reaction to his Divine might.

Instead, he saw the man looking at him—like a hunter eyeing prized prey. Seeing that gaze, combined with the fading adrenaline and the returning throb of intense pain in his face, made Enel’s cheek twitch uncontrollably.

“The Rumble-Rumble Fruit… truly a fine ability. After today, it will be mine—” Rowen stated calmly, the crimson-black light in his eyes flaring.

“Rumble-Rumble Fruit? YOURS?!” Enel started to scoff. ‘This Blue Sea fool doesn’t even know a person can only eat one Devil Fruit…’

But the next moment, Enel froze.

“I seem to have forgotten to tell you…” Rowen added.

Enel stared blankly.

The Blue Sea man before him—half his body dissolved into smoke! As a Logia user himself, Enel was certainly familiar with such power—it was the Logia ability of smoke!

This Blue Sea man possessed the powers of TWO Logia Devil Fruits simultaneously! And from his words—he intended to take Enel’s Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability as well!

To possess a THIRD Logia ability!

WHO THE HELL WAS THE REAL GOD AGAIN?! Enel felt his entire worldview shattering.

“Alright. Playtime’s over. I’ve seen enough of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s capabilities,” Rowen’s smile faded, replaced by a tyrannical crimson-black glint in his eyes.

“Your control over your Devil Fruit may be superior to mine… and I don’t know what power you used to harm me, an incarnation of lightning—But lightning’s offensive power is greater than fire! You can’t defeat me!” Enel roared, thrusting his lightning-wreathed right hand towards Rowen in a palm strike.

“It seems my last attack didn’t make things clear enough. Very well. This time—I won’t bother predicting your moves,” Rowen stated, raising both fists.

“Armament——!”

VMM!

Dense Armament Haki instantly coated Rowen’s Flame Gloves!

WHOOSH! BANG!

The combination of Armament Haki and Flame Gloves slammed heavily into Enel’s outstretched palm!

“HISSS! SO PAINFUL! BASTARD! WHAT IS THIS POWER?!” An excruciating pain shot up Enel’s arm, forcing a pained cry from him.

BOOM!

His feet slid back, the ground beneath his lightning-form cracking under the force. In contrast, Rowen looked completely unfazed.

(Actually, the combat power of Flame Gloves combined with Armament Haki wasn’t vastly different from Enel’s Amaru form; it hadn’t quite reached Apex Gold attack power yet. But because Rowen possessed Armament Haki, the reactive force from their energy collision was absorbed by his Haki. Enel, however, had to endure that shock with his physical body.)

Enel, having little tolerance for pain, immediately howled.

“This is called Armament Haki. It allows one to strike the true body of a Logia Devil Fruit user. The taste of Haki—isn’t too pleasant, is it? This is a power every living being possesses. Your so-called ‘Mantra’—is also a form of Haki, called Observation Haki,” Rowen explained with amusement, watching Enel clutching his hand in agony.

This was the limitation of relying solely on Devil Fruit powers.

Ranged attacks couldn’t unleash a Logia’s full potential. But in close combat, without Haki, even if you could match the opponent’s offensive power, you still had to endure the pain of impact.

Enel’s current state would normally pose little threat to an Armament Haki user. The surface of his body was composed of coalesced lightning.

But Rowen possessed Armament Haki – Ryūō!

It directly bypassed the surface layer of elemental lightning, striking Enel’s true body hidden beneath!

“Armament Haki… Is that the black energy those Blue Sea dwellers used to defeat my Priests?!” Enel’s eye twitched.

Under the intense pain, even his elemental Amaru form began to destabilize. His Mantra sensed a power similar to what those Blue Sea dwellers used on his fists—but the density, the sheer power, was on a completely different level!

‘This power… Human power can actually contend with the power of a God? With lightning?!’ Enel, amidst his agony, felt his convictions begin to crumble.

Why did he consider himself God? Wasn’t it precisely because mortal power was helpless before a natural disaster like lightning?

Yet now, this Blue Sea man told him mortal power—this Armament Haki—could contend with lightning! How could Enel not be devastated?!

“Are you trying to insult me?! Trying to make me lose my Amaru form and Mantra?! Close-range attacks involving contact won’t work on you! Then—I’ll use long-range!” Enel roared. All the lightning energy in his body surged towards Rowen!

The next moment—

WHOOSH!

Enel’s true body transformed into a bolt of lightning, attempting to flee—

His real plan was to use the lightning blast to stall Rowen, then escape to the Ark Maxim using his lightning speed—

With the Ark, he could unleash power far greater than his current abilities! Attacks like ‘Mamaragan’ and ‘Raigo’ required the Ark!

But—

CRACKLE!

“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!” Countless arcs of crimson-black lightning instantly ensnared Enel’s true body as he tried to escape, piercing him like countless arrows!

The pain, as if searing his very soul, forced an uncontrollable scream from Enel!

“Did you forget? I told you—I’ve already seen your future,” Rowen stated calmly, a pure red light flashing in his eyes. Observation Haki—Future Sight.

Enel’s every move had been predicted by Rowen.

The power of Conqueror’s Haki was already waiting for Enel along his escape route before Enel even made his move!

“Th-This power?! This isn’t that Armament Haki! Why—Why can this harm me too?!” Enel shrieked in agony.

“This is called Conqueror’s Haki. As for its power—experience it with your own body…” Rowen replied, looking at Enel, whose elemental transformation had been forcefully disrupted. An astonishing crimson-black light flared in Rowen’s eyes!

The next moment—that light fully materialized! Countless arcs of crimson-black lightning roared through the atmosphere, then surged, converging towards Rowen!

“AMARU!” Enel roared again, desperately trying to unleash his 200 Million Volt Thunder God power once more.

(Rowen’s Conqueror’s Haki, while powerful, wasn’t yet at Shanks’s level; he couldn’t completely immobilize someone like Green Bull from a distance with Haki alone. But interrupting Enel’s elemental escape was more than enough.)

CRACKLE! BOOM!

As the crimson-black light in Rowen’s eyes blazed even brighter, he dispersed the Flare-Flare Fruit’s energy.

Instead, he gathered all his physical energy, channeling it forward—

The countless converging arcs of crimson-black lightning also merged into it! Finally—forming an incredibly terrifying ball of pure shockwave energy!

All of Rowen’s physical power was contained within it—along with the utterly violent and tyrannical power of Haōshoku Coating!

The Spear of Elbaf—HAKOKU SOVEREIGNTY!

Because this fusion technique originated from the combined power of two Giants, Dorry and Brogy—Rowen alone could now unleash a shockwave ball comparable to what Big Mom and Kaido working together could produce in the original story!

(‘Ocean Sovereignty’ and ‘Hakoku Sovereignty’ are both ultimate Elbaf techniques requiring two giants.)

Rowen—COULD DO IT ALONE…

VMM!

The incomparably violent shockwave ball pulsed, surrounded by countless roaring arcs of crimson-black lightning! Before this utterly tyrannical power, the entirety of Upper Yard began to tremble!

Luffy, Zoro, and the others—Gan Fall, Wyper, and the rest—stared in horror from afar at the dazzling crimson-black sphere of destructive energy.

The sheer violence radiating from it—was terrifying just to behold! Enel’s colossal Thunder God form seemed almost insignificant before it.

“Let me tell you, you frog in a well—ONLY HAKI CAN TRANSCEND ALL! BRAT!”

“HAKOKU SOVEREIGNTY——!!!”

Rowen gave Enel no more time to react. He slammed his fists together!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The incomparably violent crimson-black shockwave ball tore through the sky, obliterating countless ancient trees, carrying an aura of absolute destruction as it surged towards Enel!

Everything in its path was instantly annihilated, reduced to dust!

“AMARU——!”

Facing this terrifying attack, Enel, his elemental form already disrupted by Conqueror’s Haki, could only stare in horror, desperately releasing all the power of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, thrusting his palms forward in a futile attempt to resist!

But—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The unstoppable, tyrannical energy smashed through his defenses, coursing through Enel’s entire body!

The dazzling, colossal Thunder God form—was utterly annihilated before this overwhelmingly violent energy!

Amaru—instantly disintegrated!

Revealing Enel within—his eyes already beginning to roll white.

“Wh-Why…?!”

Before Enel lost consciousness, memories of his past flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern:

Eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit… Destroying his homeland, Birka… Coming here… Becoming God… Using the Gold here to build the Ark Maxim for his journey to the Endless Vearth… Reigning supreme, like an Omniscient, Omnipotent God…

Until he met this Blue Sea dweller.

Until he encountered this power—Conqueror’s Haki!

CRACK! THUD!

Accompanied by the sickening sounds of bones shattering and organs rupturing—just like Enel’s divine dream, and his journey to the Endless Vearth—it all shattered!

Three punches—shattered Enel’s God dream!

BANG!

The shockwave carried Enel’s broken body high into the sky.

Then, the full force of the shockwave’s energy detonated, blasting a massive, gaping hole through a section of the White-White Sea!

It was as if—a prehistoric giant, with matchless power, had thrust a spear through the very sky, creating this terrifying void!

Haōshoku Coating! Hakoku Sovereignty!

Enel, relying solely on his Devil Fruit ability without Haki—couldn’t even withstand a single blow!

<><><><><><><><>

Watching Enel being obliterated by a single attack—Gan Fall, Wyper, and the others stared in utter horror.

That Enel—couldn’t even take one hit from Rowen?!

What kind of divine power was this?!

Even Usopp, who had boasted earlier but was witnessing the Full power of Haōshoku Coating for the first time, had his eyes nearly pop out.

‘He was just habitually exaggerating! Who knew Rowen would actually one-shot that lightning monster?! THIS IS TOO RIDICULOUS!’

Zoro and the others also stared, mouths agape, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

This too, was the first time they had witnessed the full, unbridled power of Rowen’s Haōshoku Coating.

Compared to this, Rowen’s earlier Haki ‘training’ with them felt like child’s play!

“Plunder.”
