There are many strange things in the Scary Triangle area.
Some people have seen huge, human-like black shadows walking in the fog, the bottomless sea like a pond to them!
Some people have said that huge "lands" travel in it, with scary zombies and monsters living on that strange land.
Those might be just stories, or they might be real.
But now, for the Flying Sky Pirates and the Four Seas Alliance, the Scary Triangle area has completely turned into a "battlefield"!
Everyone there has no doubt that this fight in the fog, where you can't even see the enemy's face, has touched the top of this sea!
It's a fight between "legend" and "story"...
...
Golden Lion's cut and Rowan's black spear went through the thick fog in front of them, heading straight for each other.
Crackling sounds came from the thick fog, mixed with sparks.
That was proof that the cuts and black spears hit each other.
Most of the cuts and black spears crashed together, and then the cuts disappeared. The strong energy on the black spears also ran out, turning into sand and falling into the sea.
But some of the cuts and black spears got through the fight in the middle and reached Rowan and Golden Lion.
Whoosh!
In that moment, Rowan's eyes saw the cuts that messed up space.
And in front of Golden Lion, several black spears covered in strong energy suddenly appeared!
The two moved at the same time, but they defended in different ways.
...
Golden Lion suddenly reached out and grabbed the black spear in front.
A huge force came from his arm, making Golden Lion's eyes shrink.
What great strength!
Oh, I see...
He looks like a politician who's good at tricks, but he's pretty strong in a fight!
Golden Lion wanted to pour his float-float fruit power into the black spear in an instant, and then use Rowan's own black spear to attack back.
But the moment Golden Lion grabbed the black spear, he realized he was wrong.
The force on that black spear was just as strong as his own cut!
He can do this just by throwing a weapon?
Golden Lion's eyes widened, and he immediately changed his plan, stepping back and jumping with the black spear in his hand.
At the same time, more than a dozen thick steel plates flew over from all parts of the Flying Sky Pirates' ship.
One of them hit the black spear in Golden Lion's hand, smashing it into the deck.
The other dozen steel plates blocked Golden Lion's front, forming a strong steel wall!
Thump!
Thump, thump, thump...
The sound of black spears cutting through the air was scary.
They hit the steel plates one after another, immediately piercing through the first few plates.
If it were just normal shields, probably not dozens, but even several dozen steel plates wouldn't be able to stop the terrible force of the black spears.
But the key point was that these steel plates had the power of the float-float fruit.
What can the float-float fruit do?
That's right, it can make things "float."
A steel plate is a thing...
The "left" and "right" of a steel plate are things!
So as long as Golden Lion controlled the "left" and "right" things to move in two different directions, he could fold or tear the steel plate!
That's what makes the float-float fruit so scary.
The moment the black spears pierced the steel plates, Golden Lion suddenly squeezed his fingers hard.
The steel plates then tightened inward under Golden Lion's control!
That sudden, terrible pressure could even crush giants, and although the black spears were covered in strong energy, they were still just weapons thrown by Rowan, and they ran out of steam.
Soon, the black spears lost their power and were crushed into tiny pieces by the steel plates.
"Huff..."
Golden Lion's fingers trembled slightly, his eyes full of anger and excitement.
"Heh ha ha ha ha!"
...
On the other side, Rowan faced Golden Lion's cuts and didn't choose to dodge by turning into sand.
One cut would be fine, but Rowan was facing dozens of sharp cuts!
He was now in a temporary spot made by Golden Lion's floating island.
If he was hit by those cuts, he would instantly turn into countless fragments and sink to the bottom of the sea.
So he couldn't dodge this wave of cuts, he could only block them!
"Hiss... huff..."
The sound of clear breathing rang out again. The sand soldiers behind Rowan held their spears back, with their right arms forward, pulling up sand shields from the ground.
Holding a shield in the right hand is essential for a defensive formation.
This way, the force of the hit moves away from the heart, effectively reducing the impact on the soldiers' bodies.
The soldiers of the Alabasta Empire were trained like this.
Of course, sand soldiers don't have a "heart" or anything like that, but their way of thinking — or rather, Rowan's control over them — was fully kept.
The sand soldiers quickly charged forward, building a solid "shield wall" between Rowan and the cuts.
Crack!
The first cut hit the sand shield, leaving a deep mark on it.
With just one hit, it almost split the sand shield in two!
What sharp cuts!
The sand soldiers seemed to feel the threat from the cuts and slammed their shields into the ground.
In that instant, countless black sand rose from the ground and stuck to the soldiers' shields.
A black shield wall was built!
Crack!
The second cut landed on the black shield, leaving only a dent on it, not cutting through at all.
The cuts rained down, all landing on the surface of the black shields.
The sand boiled fiercely, and the sand kept filling the sand soldiers' bodies, allowing them to withstand Golden Lion's cuts.
After a few breaths, the rain of cuts finally stopped.
The strong energy on the shields gradually disappeared.
The sand soldiers threw away the broken shields, turning them into sand.
Then, they picked up new shields from the ground, as if nothing had happened.
...
Crocodile, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes at this scene.
That's right, this is the most scary part of Rowan's sand-sand fruit power.
A single sand soldier is nothing to be afraid of.
A group of sand soldiers is just "disposable" to top experts.
But Rowan doesn't have to pay any price for this so-called "disposal."
As long as he wants, his power is "Limitless"!
An army of sand that can't be killed, worn down, or finished off — even the Marines would have to think twice about confronting them head-on and how many casualties it would cause.
What scary power...
