"Terrifying! This is the power of a god!"
"Too strong… absolutely overwhelming!"
"This is definitely the strongest strike I have ever seen in my life!"
"The sky... it actually exploded!"
"The title of the strongest man in the world is no exaggeration! Elior truly possesses power that completely surpasses Whitebeard!"
"Whitebeard? How could he possibly compare to Lord Elior?"
"It's not even a comparison between children and adults!"
"No, this is the difference between heaven and earth! Whitebeard could never be Elior's opponent!"
At this moment, as they gazed at Elior, who had completely obliterated the endless, dense thunderclouds with a single blow, countless people looked up at that seemingly not-so-imposing figure.
Everyone present, even top-tier powerhouses such as the Redfield, Kaido, and Big Mom, were either shocked to their core or filled with fear.
There was no need to mention those who were one level, or many levels below them.
What kind of reaction could they possibly have?
Elior had already been regarded as a god. Those low-ranking subordinates wanted nothing more than to kneel before him on the spot and worship him without restraint worship him completely!
And as for Elior's women, seeing him standing so powerfully in the sky—
The girls, gazing at Elior's back, could not help but feel utterly mesmerized.
Yes, that was their man!
Powerful! Invincible! So handsome it was unfair!
An existence that even women could not resist!
But Elior himself paid no attention to everyone's reactions.
After using the strongest explosive magic he could unleash in his current state to annihilate the boundless thunderclouds in the sky—
In an instant, countless rays of sunlight poured down from the heavens that had once been shrouded in endless thunder and darkness.
Dawn had arrived!
Everyone across the entire Paradise Island was bathed in this incomparably brilliant sunlight.
Immediately afterward, Elior dove straight down toward the sea once more.
Although the sky was now completely clear, this sea region was still violently surging!
This was the Whirlpool Sea!
However, there were no actual whirlpools here.
The reason it was called the Whirlpool Sea was simply because this sea was unimaginably terrifying.
Thunderclouds that could never be dispersed, endless lightning, violently shaking seawater, and extremely horrifying deep-sea monsters—
This was why the sea was called a "whirlpool."
A whirlpool meant extreme danger!
Countless ships that had ventured here were either torn to pieces by lightning or swallowed by the violently churning sea. The weaker ones were devoured by the monsters lurking beneath the waves!
The moment Elior landed upon the raging sea, his Observation Haki and Armament Haki were instantly released.
A top-tier Observation Haki field rapidly spread into the dark depths of the ocean.
There—
A terrifying deep-sea creature resided.
It was not a Sea King.
It was something closer to a demon-like existence. Judging by its appearance alone, it looked like a creature straight out of hell!
As for its size, its body was comparable to the length of Gran Tesoro, meaning its total length reached nearly ten kilometers!
One could easily imagine just how colossal this demonic being was!
It was unknown how many ships it had swallowed in this sea among them, of course, countless Sea Kings.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was the absolute overlord of this sea region!
No one knew how many years it had ruled these waters.
However, the instant Elior descended onto the sea, the creature sensed an intense crisis!
This was pure instinct—
The instinctive fear of encountering a far more terrifying existence!
Fear surged through it!
It even began to tremble uncontrollably!
And it clearly understood one thing—
Elior was also aware of its presence!
"This human…!"
"What's going on?!"
"Terrifying… I need to escape!"
"Run... run as far away as possible!"
