Mamaragan (Heavy Thunder) (Apex Gold).

Raigo (Thunder Welcome) (Apex Gold).

These two Ultimate Technique Traits—which Enel could only unleash using the Ark Maxim—Rowen, having now Awakened the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, automatically acquired them.

And the power of Logia Awakening didn't stop there.

VMM!

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Rowen, standing at the center of numerous thunderclouds, felt the lightning within his body begin to contract.

The next moment—

BOOM!

Accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, the countless bolts of lightning writhing within the thunderclouds surged inwards, following this contraction, pouring into Rowen's body!

All the lightning from these thunderclouds—was absorbed by Rowen.

"Stamina... recovered," Rowen murmured, feeling the change within him, a smile gracing his lips.

After acquiring the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Trait, Rowen himself could transform into a Lightning Human.

The lightning within these thunderclouds—permanently transformed by his Awakened ability, could naturally be absorbed by Rowen, to replenish his lost stamina!

No wonder Aokiji and Akainu could battle for ten days and nights before a victor emerged!

This method of drawing stamina from their transformed elemental environment granted astonishing endurance—

'Converting elements consumes... spiritual power?' Rowen mused, analyzing the sensation.

It made sense...

Devil Fruits themselves were manifestations of ancient human desires—a form of spiritual power. Unleashing their Awakened might would naturally consume spiritual power as well.

However, because this was an inherent ability of an Awakened Logia fruit—as natural as a human waving their arm—the drain on spiritual power was minimal.

At least, negligible compared to the vast amount of stamina recovered.

CRACKLE! WHOOSH!

Rowen transformed into a bolt of lightning, reappearing before the crew, the ambient lightning around his body gradually dissipating as he reverted from his elemental form.

"Rowen! Th-These thunderclouds?" Nami, with her Climate Sense Trait, felt the lingering unnaturalness of the storm clouds that refused to disperse.

"These thunderclouds—have been permanently transformed from normal clouds. This is the power of an Awakened Logia Devil Fruit," Rowen explained.

His words sent another wave of shock through everyone present.

Permanently transformed into thunderclouds?!

This was the power of Logia Awakening? If Rowen unleashed such an ability over a country, wouldn't that nation be utterly annihilated by endless lightning strikes?!

A natural disaster!

"Vivi, once your Sand-Sand Fruit ability Awakens, you'll be able to do something similar. Your Awakened power will allow you to permanently transform an area's climate into a sandstorm," Rowen added, smiling at Vivi.

While sandstorms weren't overly threatening to top-tier powerhouses, they posed a significant danger even to Marine HQ Vice Admirals, let alone those of Rear Admiral rank or below.

An Awakened Logia was true a force of nature.

"Devil Fruits... are terrifying," Zoro and Sanji muttered, deeply impressed.

Before such power, their Haki felt almost insignificant—The 'Mamaragan' scene Rowen just displayed—their Haki would have been instantly overwhelmed by those countless falling thunderbolts, and they'd be annihilated in the barrage...

"Only the absolute top-tier Devil Fruits can achieve such an exaggerated level of power..." Robin commented thoughtfully, her gaze intense as she looked at Rowen.

Thanks to Rowen's explanations, Robin now had a much clearer understanding of the power dynamics on these seas.

The most powerful Devil Fruits, once Awakened, could allow their users to contend with Admirals based solely on fruit abilities.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was undoubtedly one of these top-tier fruits—and Rowen also possessed the power of Haōshoku Coating.

Combining these two abilities—Rowen's combat strength surely surpassed that of a normal Admiral.

Even against Aokiji—one of the "Strongest Generation" of Marine Admirals—Rowen probably wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Though the psychological scars from Aokiji remained, Robin now felt significantly more optimistic and confident.

(Robin's mental comparison of Rowen and Aokiji's strength—Rowen would soon let her witness it firsthand...)

Hearing Robin's words, Zoro, Sanji, and the others instinctively glanced towards Luffy, who was still providing ample emotional support for Rowen, loudly exclaiming "SUGEEEEEEE!" at every display of power.

Luffy's Devil Fruit—once Awakened—was hailed by Rowen as the 'Strongest' Devil Fruit...

The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nika—

If Rowen's Rumble-Rumble Fruit was already this outrageously powerful, then Luffy's fruit, deemed even stronger by Rowen—how powerful would it be upon Awakening??

Zoro and Sanji clenched their fists.

They needed to train even harder... Due to their respective dreams, neither would eat a Devil Fruit.

Now, having witnessed firsthand the exaggerated power of a top-tier Awakened Devil Fruit, they, who relied on Haki, swordsmanship, and kicking techniques, had to exert even greater effort to catch up to these top-tier Devil Fruit users.

"These thunderclouds, Nami—are a gift for you," Rowen said, looking at Nami with a smile.

Displaying the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Awakened power here served another purpose besides personal experience—it was for Nami.

"Eh? For me?" Nami blinked, confused.

"Your Clima-Tact. Using the unique Dials from Skypiea, combined with my Munch-Munch Fruit ability, we can give it a major upgrade. We'll incorporate these thunderclouds into your new Clima-Tact—" Rowen explained, gesturing towards the permanently altered storm clouds.

Normally, Rowen's current Munch-Munch Fruit ability couldn't assimilate and combine such violent, Awakened thunderclouds; the Awakened Rumble-Rumble Fruit's tier was far too high—

But because these thunderclouds were originally transformed by Rowen's own spiritual power, and Rowen himself was using the Munch-Munch ability—it was essentially exploiting a loophole, allowing his Munch-Munch Fruit to assimilate these thunderclouds. Afterwards, by combining Skypiea's Dials, Nami's Clima-Tact, and these thunderclouds through 'munching' and reassembly—they could create a 'Sorcery Clima-Tact' capable of summoning a devastating thundercloud finisher.

"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, ROWEN!" Hearing Rowen's explanation, Nami instantly threw her arms around him, overjoyed.

With the power of these thunderclouds, Nami could wield a portion of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Awakened abilities!

If she could accurately hit her enemies, her combat power would be astonishing!

At the very least, Zoro and Sanji beside her definitely couldn't withstand it.

"Mr. Rowen! Thank you! Thank you for saving this country!" Gan Fall knelt heavily before Rowen.

The Shandians nearby, even Wyper, were silent, their expressions humbled.

Only now, at this moment, did they truly witness the 'scary' power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

During Enel's six-year reign, he had merely been toying with them, like a god playing with ants—If Enel had truly unleashed his full power, they would have died at his hands long ago.

If Rowen and his crew hadn't come here—they would have had zero chance of defeating Enel.

"ROWEN! SO MUCH GOLD!" Once the God's Guards were out of danger, Nami immediately rushed towards the ship, made largely of gold, shrieking with delight. 'So much gold! How much would this be worth?!'
