FWOOSH!

A bizarre purple-black aura instantly enveloped Rowen’s entire body. This demonic, otherworldly presence sent a chill down the spines of every Marine and pirate present, their eyes filled with horror.

Asura Aura—As a Special Trait, its specific power was determined by the user’s own strength. With Rowen’s massive power increase, the force of his Asura Aura had become even more scarier.

Its mere presence instilled a primal fear in the hearts of countless Marines and pirates.

Then, Rowen’s body rapidly expanded, Giantizing. In an instant, he transformed into an Ancient Giant, even larger than Sengoku’s Golden Buddha form!

FWOOSH!

Purple-black flame clouds, like ethereal ribbons, coiled around Rowen’s back—the symbol of an Awakened Zoan Devil Fruit.

"THE ULTIMATE HUMAN, SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN!"

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

Seeing this terrifying figure, comparable to a prehistoric giant, countless horrified gasps echoed across the battlefield.

This form—was Rowen’s strongest combat state!

It was in this very form that Rowen defeated Akainu during the Enies Lobby battle, cementing his true Emperor-level reputation. Becoming a ruler of the seas with absolutely no one left to question his might.

Regarding this form, both the Navy and the pirate forces had heard of it. But to truly witness the majestic figure of the Ultimate Human—still filled them with profound horror.

This was a being who, just by standing there, made them lose all courage to resist. Every inch of his skin, every muscle, radiated frightening power.

Even his breath seemed to suffocate countless Marines and pirates, a fear that came from the depths of their souls.

This was the true presence of a superior being!

Rowen’s form had truly surpassed the limits of humanity. He was on a higher dimension than normal humans—an Ultimate Human. Facing a being from a higher dimension, trembling from the soul was a biological instinct!

And this was not the end...

FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!

Under the horrified gazes of countless people, the purple-black demonic aura completely enveloped Rowen’s body.

The next moment—in addition to the Giant’s own arms and head—two more pairs of arms and two more heads sprouted from his colossal body.

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

"DAMN IT!" Akainu roared, looking at this familiar scene, his face twisting in fury.

It was in this form that he had suffered defeat at Rowen’s hands. Seeing it again reminded Akainu of the humiliation and unwillingness of his defeat in the Enies Lobby battle.

But at the same time, Akainu’s eyes held horror...

Why??

Why was this man’s form even more terrifying than during the Enies Lobby battle??

Was it because his strength had increased, making that so-called Asura Aura even more powerful, leading to all this??

This... MONSTER!

Akainu’s eye twitched uncontrollably.

Previously, he had been unconvinced, believing he had only lost at Enies Lobby because of the man’s unreasonable, sudden power-up.

And even then, Akainu considered it a draw at best.

But now, Akainu no longer had such thoughts. The moment Rowen’s Giant Form appeared, he felt a chill...

Akainu had to admit, if he were alone, he wouldn’t even have the courage to face Rowen. His strength had completely surpassed his, reaching a new height.

And he knew very well, this form was not yet Rowen’s limit...

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

CRACKLE! BOOM!

High in the sky, innumerable thunderclouds gathered, violent thunder serpents writhing and roaring within them, answering the call of their master.

The next moment—

BOOM!

Lightning condensed to its absolute limit appeared on one of Rowen’s pairs of fists. These fists had now elementized, like flowing thunder plasma, looking unbelievably dazzling and dreadful.

Thunder Gloves!

FWOOSH! BOOM!

A Horrifying, world-consuming flames erupted, centered on Rowen, burning furiously.

The next moment, these incredibly terrifying flames instantly contracted, concentrating entirely onto another of Rowen’s pairs of fists. These fists had also completely elementized. Looking like dazzling miniature suns.

Flame Gloves!

VMMMM!

And on his last pair of fists—a transparent cloud, all too familiar to the onlookers, coiled around them. Around this transparent cloud, the very atmosphere shattered like a mirror.

The Strongest Paramecia Devil Fruit, The Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

In the atmosphere, incredibly violent crimson-black lightning tore through the sky! This violent, tyrannical energy rapidly condensed, coiling around all three of Rowen’s pairs of fists!

Asura Giant Form. Combined with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Flare-Flare Fruit, and Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

And further amplified by the power of Haoshoku Coating!

THIS WAS ROWEN’S CURRENT ULTIMATE FORM!

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

Rowen’s gaze fell upon Sengoku and Akainu.

"...." Sengoku was drenched in countless beads of cold sweat at this moment.

Logically, his Golden Buddha Form should be on par with the Ultimate Human form, perhaps even a tier stronger as a Mythical Zoan... But now, just facing Rowen’s Asura Giant Form filled Sengoku with dread.

Sengoku knew why...

Because this Form contained not just the power of the Human-Human Fruit, but also Asura Aura, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Flare-Flare Fruit, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Asura Giant Form was not just on a higher dimension than normal humans; it was even on a dimension above his own Great Buddha.

And the Haki wreathed around Rowen’s hands, it terrified even Sengoku!

Earlier, Rowen used this Haki in a simple attack and completely shattered Akainu’s Magma-Magma Fruit elementalization.

That was the Magma-Magma Fruit, possessing the strongest attack power among all Devil Fruits—yet it was shattered by this Haki.

And with his Buddha wisdom, Sengoku could deduce one thing—just as Rowen had told Akainu before, this frightening power was so strong, so strong that even Sky Sovereign Rowen, an Ultimate Human, couldn’t completely control it at first!

Not even fully mastered and it was already this strong...

Sengoku’s eyes shook violently.

He didn’t understand.

Why did Rowen have such a massive power-up after Whitebeard’s death??

By what means did he obtain this enhancement??

Besides the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard should have had no power left.

Undoubtedly, this Haki had surpassed that of the man hailed as the World’s Most Dominant Haki User, the only one among the Four Emperors who wasn’t a Devil Fruit user—who became an Emperor through Haki and swordsmanship alone, Red-Haired Shanks!

The World’s Most Dominant Haki User now—was Sky Sovereign Rowen!

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

"ATTACK TOGETHER! AKAINU!" Sengoku roared lowly.

A solo attack was no longer possible against Rowen.

Akainu said nothing, just transformed both his fists into magma.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Akainu roared, his magma fists blasting out!

"HAAAAH!" Sengoku followed closely, slamming his right palm forward. Sengoku’s control over power was at its absolute peak.

He could precisely control his power, allowing his Buddha Impact Wave and Haoshoku Coating to synergistically amplify Akainu’s attack energy.

Whether Haoshoku Coating, Armament Haki, or Devil Fruit abilities, all were fundamentally a form of energy.

Just as Haoshoku Coating and Armament Haki could be infused to amplify Devil Fruit attacks, even attacks from two different people, as long as they didn’t directly collide but intersected at the closest range, could have their powers superimposed!

Though during this process, because the power wasn’t from a single source, some energy would be lost, such an attack was undoubtedly far stronger than their individual attacks.

Of course, to achieve this effect, Sengoku, as the one controlling the power, also had to consume more stamina and Haki.

For the 77-year-old Sengoku, this was a horrific expenditure.

The Buddha Impact Wave, wreathed in Haoshoku Coating, now enveloped Akainu’s Magma Fist attack, hurtling towards Rowen.

"Hmph," Rowen’s eyes flashed with a frightening crimson-black light. His Thunder Gloves slammed downwards.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An unbelievably powerful Haki erupted in that instant. Combined with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, this attack ascended to another level.

The Buddha Impact Wave and the Magma Fist were instantly shattered, becoming a spherical wave of energy that collided fully with Rowen’s Thunder Glove attack!

Forming a horrifying energy storm, sweeping across Marineford.

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

"GET OUT OF HERE! DON’T GET CAUGHT IN IT!" Marco and the others stared in utter horror at the terrifying energy storm sweeping.

TOO SCARY!

Marco’s memory even flashed back to his time with Whitebeard in his prime, during their battles with the Roger Pirates. The energy storm from Pops and Roger’s full-power clash then wasn’t even as intense as this!

Without a doubt... the level of this battle now surpassed the clash between Roger and Pops in their prime.

And on one side of the battle—was the combined might of Sengoku and Akainu!

This was understandable. After all, it was the combined might of two Admiral-level or higher powerhouses—even a prime Whitebeard couldn’t win against two Admiral-level or higher fighters.

And Sengoku and Akainu weren’t average Admiral-level fighters.

A prime Sengoku could fight head-on with Whitebeard—and Akainu was the strongest of the three Admirals. Both were true top-tier powerhouses of this sea!

BUT THE OTHER SIDE WAS JUST SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN ALONE!!!

Marco stared in utter horror at Rowen, not at a disadvantage at all against the full-power combined attack of Akainu and Sengoku.

What this situation signified... needed no further explanation.

Rowen had already surpassed a prime Roger and Whitebeard!

THE WORLD’S STRONGEST!

A title appeared in Marco’s mind... For Rowen’s strength—the qualifier ’Strongest’ no longer needed any modifiers!

Whitebeard was hailed as the World’s Strongest Man, but his fellow Emperor, Kaido, was also called the ’World’s Strongest Creature’—and previously, Sky Sovereign Rowen was hailed as the ’World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User’

In their respective fields, they were the strongest...

But now, Sky Sovereign Rowen no longer needed the title World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User—even the late Whitebeard’s title, ’World’s Strongest Man’, couldn’t describe Rowen.

Rowen’s current strength, in Marco’s view, was undoubtedly—THE WORLD’S STRONGEST!

Who else could surpass Rowen in strength?? At least in Marco’s view, there was no one!

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

"U-Unbelievable," Rayleigh and Kizaru’s battle had also stopped.

Rayleigh stared at that battlefield, at that terrifying energy collision, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

THIS POWER!!

IT HAD ABSOLUTELY SURPASSED ROGER!

In terms of Haki and strength, the world said Pirate King Roger was the strongest. After all, Roger had conquered the entire Grand Line, becoming Pirate King.

But Rayleigh, who had been to the final island, Laugh Tale, knew that in terms of Haki and strength, even Roger, who had completely conquered the Grand Line, was still a distance away from the true strongest.

At least that legendary person who left behind the Great Treasure, ONE PIECE—his Haki and strength were above Roger’s!

That existence, deemed taboo by the World Government.

That legendary person who could even represent the Void Century’s history.

That Warrior of Liberation who represented hope, the legendary Sun God!

"Joy Boy..." Rayleigh murmured, looking at Rowen’s Asura Giant Form.
