WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Innumerable giant fists of magma, like the cataclysmic eruption of a doomsday volcano, rained down from the sky!

Meteor Volcano—Akainu’s strongest wide-area attack!

Countless magma fists poured from the sky, transforming the land below into a sea of molten fire!

In the One Piece world, the three greatest natural disasters are tsunamis, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions.

The power of tsunamis was wielded by Whitebeard, user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, hailed as the World’s Strongest Man.

And the power of volcanic eruptions—was in Akainu’s hands.

Using the Magma-Magma Fruit—recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia as possessing the Strongest Offensive Power to create a world-ending volcanic disaster.

This was the might of the Magma-Magma Fruit user. Marine HQ Admiral, Akainu!

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

“WHAT IS THAT?!” Franky shrieked, his eyes practically popping out as he stared at the countless magma fists hurtling towards them from the sky.

This horrifying power, like a doomsday volcano erupting—was beyond human resistance. Even his cyborg body wouldn’t last more than a few hits against such an apocalyptic force…

“Logia Magma-Magma Fruit…” Robin stated, her forehead also beading with cold sweat as she watched the terrifying rain of magma fists.

Directly facing this volcano-like power… the pressure was truly no joke.

“Damn it! I’ll use Gear Third to knock them back!” Luffy yelled, gritting his teeth, preparing to activate Gear Third: Bone Balloon.

Gear Second accelerated his bodily fluids, turning his rubber body into a steam engine, boosting speed and power.

Gear Third: Bone Balloon involved blowing air into his bones and muscles, partially giantizing his rubber body for massively increased strike range and power.

Bone Balloon was Luffy’s strongest offensive move—and against these giant magma fists, only a giantized arm could possibly contend.

“Cutting through magma? Let’s see if I can do it—” Zoro muttered, his expression incredibly grim. Facing this volcano-like destructive power, Zoro’s beastly instincts screamed of mortal danger.

Though he had previously clashed swords with a Marine Admiral, the combat pressure from the Ice-Ice Fruit and the Magma-Magma Fruit were on completely different scales…

Aokiji had clearly been holding back against them. This Admiral Akainu, however—was going for the kill from the outset!

His iron-blooded determination to bury them along with Enies Lobby was palpable. Just from this opening move, Zoro clearly sensed this Admiral was entirely different from Aokiji—

Sanji activated his Diable Jambe, his expression equally grave.

“Rowen?” The Straw Hat’s main three combatants, preparing to fight for their lives, looked towards Rowen as he raised a hand, stopping them.

“Save your stamina and Haki for when it truly matters,” Rowen stated, looking up at the raining magma fists with a calm smile.

As expected of the strongest offensive Devil Fruit.

The Magma-Magma Fruit, being tangible and possessing temperatures far exceeding the Flare-Flare Fruit, completely countered it, making it the superior ability—and just as the true power of the Ice-Ice Fruit wasn’t just ice, but the terrifying freezing aura capable of freezing the sea—

—The Magma-Magma Fruit’s most horrifying aspect wasn’t just its temperature or solid magma, but the explosive force upon impact, like a volcanic eruption. That explosive power was why it was hailed as the strongest offensive fruit!

But now… Rowen’s smile turned slightly mischievous.

VMM!

A strange ripple emanated from Rowen, spreading outwards into the surrounding environment.

“Door-Door Fruit—Air Doors—OPEN.” Rowen waved his right hand sharply.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Beneath every single magma fist plummeting towards them—the very air tore open, forming massive, swirling portals that slowly opened wide!

The magma fists plunged into these open Air Doors—and vanished without a trace!

“Spatial Transfer——” Rowen declared, waving his right hand again. The full power of the Door-Door Fruit was unleashed!

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

“Huh?!” Akainu’s eyes narrowed sharply.

His Meteor Volcano—why hadn’t it landed on Sky Sovereign Rowen and the Straw Hat Pirates? Instead, it just… vanished?

Completely disappeared, without a trace!

The power of the Magma-Magma Fruit, representing the pinnacle of Devil Fruit destructive force—had vanished into thin air!

VMM!

Just then, above the ten Marine warships, a strange ripple appeared in the sky.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

In the sky above them, the air tore open again, forming countless Air Doors that slowly swung open!

“THIS IS—!” Vice Admiral Onigumo, standing beside Akainu, his face instantly paled.

On the other warships, the four other Vice Admirals—Momonga, Yamakaji, Doberman, and Strawberry—their expressions also changed drastically!

“A DEVIL FRUIT ABILITY! THAT ABILITY IS—THE DOOR-DOOR FRUIT!” Momonga roared in horror. He finally understood why Admiral Akainu’s attack had suddenly vanished above Enies Lobby!

“LOOK OUT!”

FWOOSH!

Before Momonga’s warning could fully register—Destructive energy erupted from the opened Air Doors above!

Those very magma fists Akainu had rained down upon Enies Lobby—had been spatially transferred from the alternate dimension within the doors—directly here!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The sound of magma fists tearing through the atmosphere echoed, as the apocalyptic power of a volcanic eruption now rained down upon the Buster Call fleet—upon these ten Marine HQ warships!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Caught completely off guard, one warship was instantly struck by a magma fist! The explosive energy of the magma instantly engulfed the Marine HQ vessel!

Even these massive warships—built in Water 7, capable of traversing the Calm Belt and battling giant Sea Kings—were utterly defenseless before the terrifying offensive power of the Magma-Magma Fruit!

The main sail instantly exploded and collapsed.

The deck was melted in a fraction of a second. The entire warship, consumed by unquenchable flames, began to capsize under the terrifying explosive energy of the magma!

“BASTARD!” Akainu roared, his face incredibly grim as he watched his own Meteor Volcano now raining down endlessly upon his fleet.

The Door-Door Fruit. A Paramecia-type spatial Devil Fruit ability!

That ability should have been in CP9’s possession.

Had Sky Sovereign Rowen stolen it already??

And to create Air Doors on such a massive scale—clearly, the Door-Door Fruit had Awakened in that brat’s hands!

Akainu had anticipated CP9’s Devil Fruits might fall into Rowen’s hands. But as a Marine Admiral, Akainu was well-aware of CP9’s strength intel.

None of CP9’s Devil Fruits were Awakened!

Even Rob Lucci, hailed as the Strongest in CP9 history, was far from Awakening his fruit. The CP9 agent who possessed the Door-Door Fruit couldn’t possibly have Awakened it!

Before coming here, Akainu had thoroughly reviewed all intelligence on Sky Sovereign Rowen. According to Marine HQ’s analysis and the brat’s own revealed information—this brat could steal all of another’s powers.

If he stole a Devil Fruit, he didn’t just get the ability itself—if the original user’s fruit was Awakened, then the stolen fruit would also be in its Awakened state in his hands.

The reason this brat could use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit at an Awakened level was because he stole it from an already Awakened user—the analysis regarding his Devil Fruit abilities should have been correct!

But what was happening now??

The Door-Door Fruit, unawakened in CP9’s hands—was suddenly Awakened after being stolen by him…

Devil Fruit Awakening was an entirely different concept. Only after Awakening could a Devil Fruit unleash its full power—and Paramecias, especially spatial ones like the Door-Door Fruit, underwent a horrifying qualitative change upon Awakening.

Before Awakening, the Door-Door Fruit required the user to physically touch a surface to create a door—even if trained to an extreme level to open Air Doors, it still required the user’s touch, making it very limited.

But an Awakened Paramecia could assimilate everything in its surroundings! Just like now—even without physical contact, within the range of the Awakened Door-Door Fruit’s influence, countless Air Doors could be opened.

Before this ability, simple long-range Devil Fruit attacks were completely useless—and could even be spatially transferred back to attack oneself!

Stealing an unawakened ability, then instantly Awakening it?? And a spatial Devil Fruit like Door-Door, at that??

WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE WAS THIS??

Even Akainu cursed inwardly.

Devil Fruit Awakenings weren’t common cabbages!

Originally, Akainu thought this brat was arrogant.

Aokiji had guessed the brat’s true ability. To steal all of another’s powers—based on the brat’s own words.

Without the brat’s own careless boasting, Aokiji wouldn’t have figured it out so easily. Deliberately exposing one’s own ability—what arrogant foolishness!

But now Akainu understood—What arrogant foolishness?

This bastard brat still had major secrets hidden. Awakening Devil Fruits was as easy as eating and drinking for him!

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

Though enraged, Akainu still had to block the magma fists continuously raining down from the Air Doors above.

Even though his initial attack lacked Infusion, the Magma-Magma Fruit’s offensive power was at the absolute pinnacle—Average Vice Admirals couldn’t fully block its power.

Not to mention, five of the warships lacked Vice Admiral-level protection.

“GREAT ERUPTION——!!!” Akainu roared, his right fist transforming into an incredibly massive magma fist!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

This magma fist expanded, covering the sky above all ten warships, intercepting all the falling magma fists from above!

Though he blocked it, Akainu’s face was incredibly dark.

His own attack—turned into a weapon against them. Another loss due to insufficient intel, DAMN IT!

Where did this brat get so many troublesome abilities?? And how could he Awaken the Door-Door Fruit so easily?? Akainu seethed with rage.

“SAKAZUKI! Three warships are completely immobilized!” Onigumo yelled urgently, now calling Akainu by name in his haste.

Three warships, all without Vice Admirals aboard—were on the verge of sinking after the first exchange.

The Buster Call fleet consisted of only ten ships! Before even engaging Sky Sovereign Rowen directly, they had lost three ships—to Akainu’s own Magma-Magma Fruit ability!

Though it wasn’t Akainu’s fault… it was Sky Sovereign Rowen’s suddenly revealed Awakened Door-Door Fruit ability—this level of attrition left even Onigumo feeling incredibly frustrated.

“LAND IMMEDIATELY! NO MORE RANGED ARTILLERY FIRE!” Akainu ordered, his face grim.

Before an Awakened Door-Door Fruit, any ranged attack was useless; fired projectiles would just become weapons turned against themselves.

Under these circumstances, their only option was to land quickly and engage in close-quarters combat!

“UNDERSTOOD!” Onigumo immediately relayed Akainu’s orders.

The remaining seven warships sped towards the main island of Enies Lobby, attempting to make landfall.

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

“SUGEEE! SO COOL, ROWEN!” Chopper cheered, jumping up and down excitedly as he watched the three distant warships gradually sink.

Defeating the enemy with their own power—that fighting style was too awesome!

“The Door-Door Fruit’s power—is that strong?!” Franky stared, dumbfounded.

He had originally thought Blueno’s ability was just somewhat bizarre; he never imagined it could be used so terrifyingly on the battlefield.

Directly transferring countless magma fists above the enemy warships, making them suffer their own attack.

This was practically a battlefield superweapon!

“This is the Awakened Door-Door Fruit ability. In Blueno’s hands, he could only open doors by touching them,” Rowen explained calmly with a smile.

“Awakening?” Franky heard this term for the first time. ‘Devil Fruits can Awaken?’

But still on the battlefield, Franky didn’t press further.

“AWOOO! NOW IT’S MY TIME TO SHINE! SUUUUPER!!!” Franky roared.

“Don’t be so hasty. Thinking you can land so easily? It won’t be that simple. Akainu isn’t the only Logia user here,” Rowen commented, looking at the warships rapidly approaching, intending to land, his expression turning villainous.

‘Trying to establish dominance with an opening salvo, Akainu? Think I’m that good-tempered?’

“DIVINE JUDGEMENT——!” Rowen declared, pointing a single finger towards the sky.

The full power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit erupted!

CRACKLE! BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Accompanied by terrifying thunderclaps, countless bolts of lightning erupted from Rowen’s body, transforming into terrifying pillars of lightning that shot into the clouds above, then vanished!

CRACKLE! BOOM!

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

The next moment—Above the seven Marine warships speeding towards Enies Lobby’s main island—dozens of colossal lightning pillars rained down from the sky!

From afar, it looked as if pillars of pure, divine lightning, piercing through the sky, were descending upon those who angered the God of Thunder—delivering divine punishment!

Divine Judgement! Barrage!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The speed of lightning completely outmatched anything the Magma-Magma Fruit could muster.

The two remaining warships without Vice Admiral protection were instantly struck by the descending, terrifying lightning pillars.

Under the onslaught of rampaging thunder, these two warships were instantly capsized beneath the lightning.

Fire and explosions erupted across the sea once more!

Before both sides even made contact—five of the ten Buster Call warships were instantly capsized by Rowen’s casual attacks!

And the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s scary assault—wasn’t over yet!
