Thump!

With a spray of blood, Eustass Kid—Captain of the Kid Pirates, the Supernova with the highest bounty of this generation (excluding the Straw Hats) at 315 million Beri—crashed heavily to the ground, his eyes rolled white...

Beside him, Killer—his second-in-command, also a Supernova with a 162 million Beri bounty, known as the "Massacre Soldier", lay equally silent and unmoving.

The pirate careers of the Kid Pirates had come to a permanent end... And the one who ended their dreams—

The Supernovas stared, drenched in cold sweat, at the imposing figure before them.

The World’s Most Dangerous Man. Sky Sovereign Rowen!

Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, soaking their backs, their entire bodies...

H-How??

Kid had one of the highest bounties among them!

Though this high bounty was partly due to Kid’s cruel nature, often flying into a rage over trivial matters and brutally murdering anyone who mocked him.

His actions caused significant civilian casualties, which inflated his bounty—a Marine tactic to make pirates restrain themselves. A higher bounty attracted stronger bounty hunters and Marines.

However, when they saw Kid make his move against Rowen, Scratchmen Apoo, Urouge, and Capone Bege were even cheering him on.

They even fantasized that if the battle came to a stalemate, they could all rush in. Take the head of the 3.9 billion Beri man. Their names would thunder across the seas.

They might even become the next Emperor!

But in this moment—THEIR DREAMS SHATTERED!

Cruel reality showed them how ignorant and laughable their fantasies truly were. Kid and Killer, two Supernovas, attacked Sky Sovereign Rowen together.

And the man—merely lifted a single finger.

Then, a terrifying energy of crimson-black lightning, something they had never seen before, erupted, filling them with absolute dread.

Kid and Killer were instantly silenced...

Annihilated—

Kid’s final, collapsing roar—"THE SEA SHOULDN’T BE THIS VAST!"—still echoed in their minds.

’The sea... was really this vast??’

Kid, a powerful Devil Fruit user who had put considerable pressure on them, possessed no resistance whatsoever... His dreams, his everything terminated by this man!

It was too crushing!

Capone Bege’s ever-present cigar dropped from his mouth. His ’Mafia Boss’ composure completely shattered, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, his eyes filled with horror.

Only now did he realize how utterly foolish his earlier thought—’if we all attacked, Sky Sovereign Rowen can’t win.’

Facing this man, the question wasn’t whether they could win if they all attacked. It was—’if they all attacked, would this man kill all of them??’

And the bloody reality before them screamed: YES HE WOULD!

"Captain. W-We have to run. That man is a monster!" Bepo, already naturally timid, was now utterly terrified, looking fearfully at Law.

"Sky Sovereign-ya... What a terrifying power," Law murmured, his own forehead slick with cold sweat.

Compared to the other Supernovas, Law was more composed and cautious. This stemmed from his past; his sworn enemy was one of the Seven Warlords, Doflamingo.

Law knew how horrifying a Warlord could be.

While many other Supernovas aimed for the Four Emperors upon entering the New World, Law’s primary target was Doflamingo!

Though Law had witnessed Doflamingo’s cruelty as a child, he was too young then to have a quantifiable concept of power. Now, having eaten the Op-Op Fruit, with his strength greatly increased after completing the first half of the Grand Line, Law believed he had a fighting chance against Doflamingo.

Of course, being cautious and burdened by his quest for revenge, Law wasn’t reckless—he wanted to get even stronger, perhaps even by becoming a Warlord himself to minimize World Government interference.

Thus, in Law’s view, he had no reason to conflict with Rowen.

Plus, with his Op-Op Fruit, he worried Rowen, the man who could steal others’ abilities, might target him. So he had stayed hidden, observing.

But even Law hadn’t expected this outcome...

That crimson-black lightning energy was definitely not a Devil Fruit ability... This man, hailed as the World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User—didn’t even use a Devil Fruit ability—and easily finished off the combined assault of Kid and Killer!

Was this the true strength of an Emperor-level figure??

"Captain! Let’s get out of here!" Bepo and the others urged again.

"Leave?" Law smiled bitterly.

WHOOSH!

An Air Door materialized beside Law. A terrifyingly destructive energy pulsed from within.

The sense of mortal danger made Law’s back soak with cold sweat.

Law had no doubt—if he dared to move, his fate would be the same as Kid and Killer lying on the ground. Sky Sovereign Rowen had already locked onto them, even while they were hidden!

The other Supernovas faced the same situation—spatial gates opened beside each of them, the destructive energy within preventing them from moving a muscle.

If this man wished it... they, the so-called Super Rookies would never reach the New World.

Their dreams, their everything, would end here, on Sabaody Archipelago, at this man’s hands.

"The Magnet-Magnet Fruit..." Rowen commented, a purple light glowing on his hand.

CLANG!

Zoro broke out in a cold sweat, using all his Haki to prevent his three swords from being pulled away by the magnetic force.

The same Devil Fruit, in different hands, wielded with vastly different power.

When Kid used the Magnet-Magnet Fruit’s ability, Zoro could break its pull with just a slight surge of Haki.

But when Rowen used it... if he wasn’t careful, his swords would be snatched away.

Before Awakening, the stronger the user’s physique energy, the stronger the Devil Fruit’s power. With Rowen’s current physique, the power he unleashed from the Magnet-Magnet Fruit was already at its pre-Awakening peak. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Magnetic Pull—Great Demon Bull! (Punk Corna Dio)" Rowen’s eyes flashed.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The metal from the numerous ships docked at Sabaody, including Marine warships, and the guns and swords of Marine soldiers—all were pulled by this magnetic force.

Instantly, a colossal bull made of metal materialized before them. Its immense weight and presence made the entire area tremble!

Watching Rowen activate the Magnet-Magnet Fruit’s ability, the Supernovas’ foreheads grew even more slick with sweat, their eyes filled with greater horror.
