VMM! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Arcs of purple lightning sparked and blazed, centered on Rowen, flashing wildly in the sky above Marine HQ!

The next moment—a frighteningly immense magnetic force erupted!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Numerous elite Marines stared in horror as the weapons in their hands were ripped away, drawn towards the crackling purple sparks above!

Before this overwhelming magnetic force, no matter how desperately they tried to hold on, it was useless!

Even some Marine HQ Rear Admirals, horrified, coated their weapons in Armament Haki, attempting to resist the pull.

But the next moment, the Armament Haki coating their weapons was shattered by the immense magnetic force!

Before the power of an Awakened Magnet-Magnet Fruit, these Rear Admirals’ Armament Haki crumbled on contact, completely unable to stop their weapons from being torn away.

Only the Marine HQ Vice Admirals, with their superior Armament Haki, could barely resist this magnetic force—but even they were drenched in cold sweat, their faces filled with horror!

RUMBLE!

Even the heavy cannons positioned in key defensive locations began to tremble and shake loose!

BANG! BANG!

Several shore-defense heavy cannons couldn’t resist the magnetic pull, ripped from their foundations and pulled up into the sky.

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

“HOLD THEM! DON’T LET ANY MORE HEAVY CANNONS BE TAKEN!”

The Marines stationed at the heavy artillery positions screamed in horror, desperately trying to use their own bodies to hold the cannons down!

“IT’S SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN’S DEVIL FRUIT ABILITY! THE WORLD’S STRONGEST DEVIL FRUIT USER—HAS MADE HIS MOVE!”

Horrified screams echoed across Marine HQ!

The numerous elite Marine soldiers stared in terror at the frightening, crackling purple sparks in the sky.

Up there, countless weapons had already converged, gradually forming an extremely massive mechanical sphere!

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

“The World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User!”

On Sabaody Archipelago, countless civilians and reporters stared in horror at the scene!

Sky Sovereign Rowen—upon his arrival—had killed Warlord Doflamingo with an unparalleled kingly demeanor.

His formidable strength was on full display—

But that time, Doflamingo’s real body was hidden, on the big screens at Sabaody, these civilians and reporters had only seen a flash of lightning engulf a building, then Rowen tossing Doflamingo’s corpse to the ground.

Though scary, it wasn’t the same as now—directly pulling countless Marines’ weapons, even the heavy shore-defense cannons from Marineford Bay, into the sky.

That gigantic mechanical sphere—exerted an immense, oppressive presence on these civilians…

To a super-powerhouse like Rowen, these weapons were nothing, but to them, these were all lethal instruments of murder.

Especially those shore-defense heavy cannons.

Those cannons could even wear down a Marine HQ Vice Admiral under a sustained barrage. Their destructive power had been demonstrated to the world—a single shot could blast a huge hole in a pirate ship!

But now… all of them were concentrated in the sky, forming a giant mechanical sphere—

The World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User… HAD UNLEASHED HIS FURY!

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

“This is… The Paramecia Magnet-Magnet Fruit’s power. The Supernova Kid’s Devil Fruit ability??” Sengoku stared, his face incredibly grim, as numerous elite Marines, even Rear Admirals, couldn’t resist the magnetic pull.

That Devil Fruit had really been stolen by Sky Sovereign Rowen. This fruit’s ability had an immense impact on the battlefield.

For non-Devil Fruit users, or even Martial artists who trained their bodies to the extreme like Garp—weapons were still an extremely important source of power.

As evidenced by nearly every Marine HQ Vice Admiral using a sword as their weapon—but now, a large number of Marines’ weapons had been directly pulled away by the Magnet-Magnet Fruit’s ability.

Disarmed, their strength was drastically reduced. On a bloody battlefield like this—that was incredibly fatal!

In the ensuing chaos, many Marine soldiers were already being severely injured or even killed by pirates!

The entire Marine formation began to crumble.

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

“KUZAN! STOP HIM!” Sengoku roared at Aokiji.

“You’ve really given me a difficult task, Fleet Admiral Sengoku…” Aokiji replied, his expression incredibly grim, looking at Rowen wantonly unleashing the Magnet-Magnet Fruit’s ability.

Facing Rowen now, completely different from on Thunder-Ice Island, he felt an overwhelming, terrifying pressure.

The best-case scenario was to act as a check, like Rayleigh against Kizaru, to stand before Rowen and stall him. To make him unwilling to waste stamina and Haki, and thus not directly intervene in the battlefield.

But clearly, that was just wishful thinking…

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

“ICE BALL——!!!”

Facing Rowen, Aokiji didn’t dare hold back like he did against Whitebeard earlier, merely making probing attacks.

Before the World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User… if he held back his own Devil Fruit abilities—THAT WOULD BE SUICIDE!

The now-deceased Doflamingo was a prime example.

WHOOSH!

A terrifyingly intense freezing aura surged towards Rowen!

Aokiji wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could defeat Rowen with just his Ice-Ice Fruit. His goal was to use the powerful freezing aura to stop Rowen from continuing to use his fruit’s ability—

—Just like when he froze Whitebeard and Garp in the original story, though they shattered the ice with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and powerful Haki—If he could just use his fruit’s properties to freeze Rowen for a single instant, it would be enough.

To prevent more Marine weapons from being stolen by Rowen!

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

“Aokiji.”

Rowen watched the approaching freezing aura, his lips curling upwards.

“Great Flame Commandment——!”

VMM!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An incomparably inferno instantly erupted from Rowen. The surging, terrifying flames instantly vaporized the incoming freezing aura.

“WHAT??” Aokiji stared in horror as his freezing aura was instantly vaporized!

Freezing aura existed as gas and particles, without a solid form, which was why it could even freeze magma.

But for this very reason, against flames, which were also intangible natural elements, it was at an absolute disadvantage.

The Flare-Flare Fruit ability countered the Ice-Ice Fruit ability…

But his Ice-Ice Fruit ability was Awakened.

On Thunder-Ice Island. Rowen’s Flare-Flare Fruit ability couldn’t directly vaporize his freezing aura.

Now… there was only one possibility!

“The Flare-Flare Fruit is Awakened too??” Aokiji grit his teeth. Another powerful Logia Devil Fruit ability Awakened in Rowen’s hands—and it was the Flare-Flare Fruit, which countered his Ice-Ice Fruit.

For Aokiji, whose combat power already lagged behind Rowen’s, this was like adding frost to snow.

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

“It’s Ace’s Flare-Flare Fruit ability!” Marco and the others stared in horror at the surging, horrifying flames.

This fire was far stronger than Ace’s. Completely on another level!

Undoubtedly, Rowen had mastered the Flare-Flare Fruit to its extreme, unleashing all of the fruit’s power—

“The Flare-Flare Fruit…” Ace murmured from the execution platform, watching Rowen release flames far surpassing his own.

’So this is the true power of the Flare-Flare Fruit? STRONG! If my Flare-Flare Fruit had this kind of power, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation…’

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

“BASTARD! SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN!” Veins bulged on Sengoku’s forehead.

Another Awakened Devil Fruit—and it completely nullified Aokiji’s battlefield control ability.

Aokiji’s power could no longer stop Rowen!

What in the world was wrong with this man’s power?? Even with a unique advantage in Devil Fruits, the number of Awakened fruits was too absurd!

To say this man could steal others’ mastery of their Devil Fruits didn’t make sense either.

Because Ace’s Flare-Flare Fruit was nowhere near Awakening… This fruit was undoubtedly Awakened by Rowen himself!

Sengoku knew all too well the difficulty of Awakening a Devil Fruit—especially a powerful Logia like this. It couldn’t be explained away by mere ’Talent’!

But the next moment, Sengoku’s pupils constricted again.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

An Air Door suddenly opened beside Aokiji!

“Huh??” Aokiji’s pupils constricted. He immediately activated his Ice Glove ability, concentrating all his Armament Haki and Ice-Ice Fruit power into his fists!

WHOOSH!

But to Aokiji’s surprise—what shot out of the Air Door was just a cloud of smoke.

“The Smoke-Smoke Fruit?” Aokiji frowned. A Devil Fruit of this level, in a battle of this caliber, was practically useless.

And it was true, since Rowen obtained powerful fruits like Rumble-Rumble, the Smoke-Smoke Fruit ability had rarely been used by him.

Whether in his battle with him, or with Akainu, Rowen hadn’t used the Smoke-Smoke Fruit’s power…

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

“The Smoke-Smoke Fruit…”

Smoker, who had been watching the battle between Aokiji and Rowen, felt a complex emotion upon seeing the smoke. It had been a long time since he’d seen the fruit that once belonged to him.

But having worked with Vegapunk, Smoker now had a much deeper understanding of Devil Fruits. He also knew, though he was reluctant to admit it, a fruit of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit’s level wasn’t worthy of being used by Sky Sovereign Rowen.

But the next moment—

“Aokiji. Go cool off in the sky for a bit,” Rowen’s words made Aokiji’s pupils constrict sharply.

“Magnetism—Assign!”

VMM!

The power of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit instantly passed through the smoke, into Aokiji’s body.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Aokiji stared in horror as his own body began to emit purple sparks!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Attracted by this purple sparking, some of the weapons being pulled into the air changed their target, hurtling towards Aokiji!

“I’ve become a magnet?? The Magnet-Magnet Fruit is Awakened too??” Aokiji’s eyes were filled with horror.

What happened??

This Magnet-Magnet Fruit, which Sky Sovereign Rowen had just stolen from the Supernova Kid on Sabaody Archipelago had also been Awakened??

WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE WAS THIS??

Kid’s mastery of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit was far from Awakening—yet in Rowen’s hands, in just a few days, had Awakened??

If Devil Fruits were so easy to Awaken, this sea would be teeming with powerhouses!

But the facts were laid bare before him… An even more terrifying magnetic force began to erupt!

Countless weapons and shore-defense heavy cannons, even the steel from the warships on the outer perimeter of Marineford Bay, began to deconstruct.

A massive torrent of steel surged towards his body—His body had now become a giant magnet, attracting this torrent of steel!

“Elementize——!” Aokiji grit his teeth, immediately elementizing.

If he tried to block with Armament Haki, where would he get so much stamina and Haki to waste so wantonly?

Under these circumstances, using elementalization to avoid damage was the most logical choice.

But this also meant—for a short time, he couldn’t get out!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Countless streams of steel slammed into Aokiji’s body, piling up like building blocks, completely engulfing his figure, forming another massive mechanical sphere!

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

“The Magnet-Magnet Fruit is Awakened too??” Sengoku’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

Aokiji was trapped. Though not in life-threatening danger, he could no longer stop this man from using his Devil Fruit abilities!

“Kid’s Magnet-Magnet Fruit?” Law and the other Supernovas stared in horror at the scene.

They had all seen Kid’s Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability. Though strong, it was like a firefly compared to the moon before this spectacle.

Even a Marine HQ Admiral was directly trapped by this ability!

Is this the World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User??

Law and the others swallowed hard.

And it wasn’t over yet…

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

“Munch-Munch Fruit——!”

VMM!

A powerful devouring force, superimposed with the magnetic pull!

An Awakened Magnet-Magnet Fruit, combined with an Awakened Munch-Munch Fruit!

In an instant, an incredibly terrifying magnetic force began to erupt in the sky above Marine HQ, Marineford!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

In the sky above Marineford, the constantly flashing purple lightning completely went berserk. The scary power of two Awakened Devil Fruits, superimposed, was now on display.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

Under the horrified gazes of countless people, the numerous buildings of Marine HQ, Marineford, began to collapse!

The iron and steel rebar constituting these buildings were all attracted by this immense magnetic force!

The fifty warships on the outer perimeter also began to completely deconstruct!

The protecting Marine soldiers could do nothing to stop the shore-defense heavy cannons from deconstructing, all attracted by the terrifying purple lightning!

“Chibaku Tensei — (Planetary Devastation)——!” Rowen’s right hand slowly closed into a fist as he stated calmly.
