CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Violent, tyrannical crimson-black lightning flashed wildly through the atmosphere. This Haōshoku Coating—on a completely different level from Luffy’s, almost dyed the entire sky red.

"How scary... Dark King Rayleigh," Kizaru murmured, his hands raised in surrender as he ceased his elementized form, a sword held at his neck.

"GURARARARA! Rayleigh! You bastard actually came," Whitebeard laughed heartily.

"It’s been a long time, Whitebeard—" Rayleigh replied, enveloped in Haōshoku Coating, a smile on his face.

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

"RAYLEIGH! DAMN IT!" Sengoku’s expression changed drastically.

This retired old geezer had really appeared on this battlefield alongside Sky Sovereign Rowen!

A combatant of this caliber could directly influence the war’s outcome.

And at such a critical moment!

"Too late!" Sengoku’s face was incredibly grim.

Kizaru, with his Glint-Glint Fruit, could have stopped all this. But Rayleigh’s appearance completely shattered that possibility!

Was everything calculated??

The Ultimate Human... Sky Sovereign Rowen!

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

WHOOSH!

A transparent Air Door materialized out of thin air.

BOOM!

Violent lightning, twisting and warping space itself, erupted!

"Space itself is warping?? What is this power??" Sengoku’s forehead throbbed, his eyes feeling like they would split open.

The target of this power was—

"BASTARD!" Doflamingo roared, unleashing his Armament Haki and String-String Fruit abilities.

But—

BANG!

Doflamingo’s Armament Haki and String-String Fruit abilities—were like fragile threads before this space-warping lightning, instantly shredded and devoured.

KAMUI—THUNDER SERPENT!

The Munch-Munch Fruit, Door-Door Fruit, and Rumble-Rumble Fruit—three Awakened Devil Fruit abilities, synergizing into a terrifying technique!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The space-warping lightning engulfed Doflamingo, utterly annihilating him and the surrounding buildings!

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo—DEAD!

"Plunder!"

Rowen activated his power.

——

—[Successfully plundered Doflamingo’s Warlord ’Fortune’!]—

—[Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability—AWAKENED!]—

——

Doflamingo’s Warlord ’Fortune’ yielded the Desire to ’Be a Magnet’ needed to Awaken the fruit. The Magnet-Magnet Fruit Rowen had obtained from Kid—completed its Awakening.

And—

Doflamingo’s Awakened String-String Fruit was also obtained by Rowen. Doflamingo’s Conqueror’s Haki also became nourishment, strengthening Rowen’s own.

Poof!

The Doflamingo who had been standing beside Mihawk—dissolved into threads and vanished. It was a string puppet clone.

Upon the main body’s death, the Devil Fruit ability naturally dissipated.

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

"Overly clever idiot!" Sengoku cursed inwardly, seeing Sky Sovereign Rowen drag Doflamingo’s real, now-lifeless, body out from the shadows.

A string-clone, controlled from a hidden location, could deceive enemies. And because the user himself became a ’String man’, under calm conditions, even Observation Haki couldn’t distinguish between the puppet and the user when their emotions were calm.

—When their emotions were calm!

Did that idiot really think he could fool Sky Sovereign Rowen??

Sengoku now understood why this man hadn’t revealed himself immediately, instead letting his subordinate crews and the Straw Hats appear first—he had been in the Door-Door Fruit’s alternate dimension, pinpointing Doflamingo’s true location...

With the Human-Human Fruit’s enhanced intellect and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s Haki amplification, any slight emotional fluctuation could be detected by Rowen.

And because Doflamingo was hiding, not in his designated Warlord position, even Sengoku on the execution platform couldn’t provide immediate support!

And Kizaru, the only one fast enough to intervene, had been pinned down by Rayleigh!

The moment Doflamingo’s location was confirmed was the moment Rowen appeared. AND THE MOMENT DOFLAMINGO DIED!

Trying to show off the String-String Fruit before the World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User... What an idiot!

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

Thump!

Watching Doflamingo’s corpse being thrown down before the live broadcast cameras, Sengoku’s forehead throbbed.

Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords, dead just like that. In front of the entire world!

Seeing Doflamingo’s body, the entire battlefield fell silent for a moment.

Killed in a single, irresistible blow!

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

"Been a while, Aokiji, Akainu," Rowen stated, scanning the battlefield with a smile.

"Rowen..." Aokiji replied, his face grim.

Akainu’s face was incredibly dark.

"Shall we say we’ve finally met?? Sengoku," Rowen called out, looking towards Sengoku on the execution platform.

Though they hadn’t fought directly, Rowen had clashed with Sengoku multiple times through strategic maneuvering.

Sengoku’s face darkened further.

In their remote clashes, he had been completely led by the nose by this man. Marine HQ, under his command, had suffered heavy losses at Rowen’s hands.

For this man to speak so casually now—was a blatant humiliation!

Rowen then looked towards the stunned Ace.

"Ace! I’m here to save you! Hahaha!" Rowen laughed heartily.

"Rowen!" Ace cried out, shocked. Having only met once, and just because of Luffy, Rowen was willing to get involved in this chaotic war??

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

"It’s the World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User!"

Screams of shock echoed across the battlefield.

"B-BIG NEWS! Warlord Doflamingo killed publicly at Marine HQ by Sky Sovereign Rowen!"

"THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS MAN—HAS APPEARED ON THE BATTLEFIELD!"

"The Pirate King’s Right Hand, Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates. ’DARK KING’ SILVERS RAYLEIGH HAS ALSO APPEARED!"

"SKY SOVEREIGN AND THE DARK KING HAVE JOINED FORCES!"

"WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE WORLD??"

Sabaody Archipelago absolutely exploded with this news. The battle’s turn of events was too fast, too terrifying.

The Navy had been completely suppressing the Whitebeard Pirates. The scales of victory had been tipping in the Navy’s favor!

But from the moment Straw Hat appeared... everything went wrong.

Sky Sovereign Rowen—appearing on the battlefield like a new-era King—killed a Warlord with his first move. Though Rowen had killed Warlords before, that was just in reports.

Seeing it happen live was a completely different level of impact.

"Gurararara! Sky Sovereign Rowen! What a remarkable man!" Whitebeard laughed heartily. freewёbnoνel.com

CRACKLE! BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

BOINK! BOINK!
