BOOM!

Crimson-black lightning ripped through the skies above Marineford.

This terrifying Conqueror’s Haki formed into a raging, tyrannical storm. Under this storm, the entirety of Marineford was dyed the color of Conqueror’s Haki—crimson-black, an utterly chilling sight.

More horrifying still, before this Conqueror’s Haki storm, countless Marine soldiers instantly went white-eyed and collapsed. Among them were numerous Rear Admirals and Commodores.

These renowned Marine officers, famous across various seas, under the horrified gaze of the entire world, fainted in droves...

What left the world utterly aghast was the sight of the battle-hardened, fearsome Marine HQ Vice Admirals, men who normally projected an aura of absolute security... Even they, under the sweep of this frightening crimson-black storm, collapsed in large numbers—

—These were renowned warriors who commanded respect across the seas. The absolute core strength of Marine HQ.

The strongest active forces below the Admirals. Even against the commanders of Emperor crews in the New World, these Vice Admirals could fight on equal terms.

But now—before the terrifying storm unleashed by Sky Sovereign Rowen—they fainted and fell...

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

Sabaody Archipelago.

The citizens and reporters covered their mouths, staring in utter horror at the massive screen.

At this moment, the screen’s color was no longer that of a normal sea battle—it was completely crimson-black!

A terrifying storm raged at Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Many citizens and reporters fearfully pointed at the fallen Marines on the screen. These were famous officers they recognized. Possessing immense prestige on the seas.

Before Sky Sovereign Rowen, they were so fragile. They didn’t even possess the right to remain conscious...

"HEY, HEY... ARE YOU SERIOUS?? THIS HAKI..."

Kizaru, engaged in a life-or-death struggle, momentarily pushing back the now somewhat suppressed Rayleigh, now had beads of sweat forming on his own forehead.

"Even some of the Vice Admirals couldn’t withstand it and fainted... Is this the Conqueror’s Haki of Sky Sovereign Rowen?"

This was the first time Kizaru had personally experienced the impact of Rowen’s Conqueror’s Haki, and he murmured in disbelief.

But then, he sensed something was wrong.

If Rowen possessed such Haki before, why would he need to resort to schemes to barely win against Aokiji?

Haki of this level... the mere storm it created put Kizaru under immense pressure. The Vice Admirals who had approached Rowen, trying to stop him from releasing his Haki—were all annihilated.

Even the Vice Admirals further away couldn’t withstand it and fainted.

Conqueror’s Haki of this caliber was at the absolute pinnacle of this sea.

It could even be compared to the Haki of that Emperor—the only non-Devil Fruit user among the Four Emperors, who, like Roger, relied solely on swordsmanship and Haki to achieve his Emperor status—The man hailed as the ’World’s Most Dominant Haki User’, Red-Haired Shanks!

Combined with Rowen’s terrifying Devil Fruit abilities, Aokiji shouldn’t have stood a chance.

It wasn’t that Aokiji was weak, it was that this Haki was too frightening—even Gion and Chaton, two Admiral Candidates whose strength surpassed Marine HQ Vice Admirals, showed expressions of pain under this Conqueror’s Haki storm!

Based on this deduction, did Rowen’s Haki suddenly strengthen??

Did he... steal Aokiji’s Haki??

But Aokiji didn’t possess Conqueror’s Haki... How did Rowen do it??

Kizaru’s forehead was now also beaded with cold sweat.

"Hahaha! What a powerful Haki!" Rayleigh laughed heartily.

Looking at the figure releasing the terrifying Conqueror’s Haki, forming a crimson-black storm that enveloped the entirety of Marine HQ, his eyes held a hint of a daze.

Conqueror’s Haki of this caliber reminded Rayleigh of his deceased life-and-death friend, Roger.

Roger’s Conqueror’s Haki surpassed even Whitebeard’s in his prime. In that era, in terms of pure Haki, Roger was the strongest.

The only one who could somewhat compare was Garp from that era, who also relied solely on Haki and his Iron Fists.

"A new era, is it?"

Hearing Rowen’s words, Rayleigh, far from feeling any negative emotions, instead smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Whitebeard and he were remnants of a bygone era. Even Rayleigh, whose body hadn’t deteriorated as much as Whitebeard’s, fully acknowledged this.

Stamina, energy, Haki—none were at their peak. Initially, he could gain the upper hand against Kizaru with Haōshoku Coating, but as the battle continued, his stamina and Haki declined. It was an inevitable consequence of old age.

Just as Rowen said.

This era no longer belonged to them!

Not to Whitebeard, not to him, and certainly not to the deceased Pirate King, Roger.

The man at the center of this era—

Rayleigh looked at Rowen and smiled.

Without a doubt... This era, at this very moment, had begun to bear the mark of the Sky Sovereign!

Will this era ultimately be named after Sky Sovereign?

Rayleigh’s eyes sparkled.

"U-UNBELIEVABLE! WHAT A RIDICULOUS CONQUEROR’S HAKI!"

Marco and the other commanders stared in utter horror at the terrifying Conqueror’s Haki storm sweeping across Marine HQ, Marineford.

They were not inexperienced. They had followed Whitebeard in his prime, even clashed head-on with the Roger Pirates.

They had personally experienced the Conqueror’s Haki of a prime Whitebeard and Roger—and they knew exactly what Haki of this level signified...

This was Haki capable of competing for the title of the Strongest in this era.

At this moment, Marco and the others looked at the fainted Vice Admirals, their eyes filled with uncontrollable horror—though not the first time they had witnessed Conqueror’s Haki of this level, it still filled them with a terror that came from the depths of their souls.

These Vice Admirals couldn’t withstand this Conqueror’s Haki and could only faint. If it were unleashed against them, aside from Marco and a few others, the rest of the commanders would also be knocked out!

This was a true King of these seas!

When a true King released their Conqueror’s Haki... their allies, even their own subordinates, would be immobilized, filled only with sincere reverence for this ruler of the seas.

High above all. Reigning over the seas like an Emperor!

This was the level of Rowen’s Conqueror’s Haki!

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

"BASTARD!!" Sengoku was also drenched in cold sweat at this moment.

What incredible Conqueror’s Haki... How did Rowen’s Haki suddenly become so strong??

Sengoku had a very thorough grasp of Rowen’s power—though previously, due to ignorance of Rowen’s vicious ability to steal others’ powers, his calculations were frequently wrong.

But ever since learning of this vicious ability, after factoring it into his Buddha Deductions, there shouldn’t have been any more errors.

Rowen was strong, yes. But his strength lay in Devil Fruits, not Haki!

And after Rowen stole Aokiji’s power, he only displayed the Ice-Ice Fruit’s ability, not recovering his stamina.
