Chapter 231 - Chapter 231 Face-Off

Like it was said before.

A Natural Devil Fruit user, they themselves stand for "nature".

And if this "nature" is added to the real nature around us, what will happen?

Probably, something really amazing will happen, right?

Dalton had been curious about this.

Especially after hearing that Ryan·Rowan's Devil Fruit was the Sand-Sand Fruit, and coincidentally, his country was known as the "Desert Kingdom" on the Grand Line.

When two "deserts" mix together, what kind of amazing power will they unleash?

Dalton had imagined this, he was very curious.

Now, Dalton's curiosity finally has a final answer.

When Ryan·Rowan is in the desert, he really unleashes terrifying power that would amaze anyone on this sea!

...

The sunlight in the sky is still blinding, it's the typical good weather of Alabasta.

In the endless desert far from the port town of Nanohana, countless grains of sand are rolling and surging wildly.

A giant golem made of sand slowly rises from the rolling sand.

He wears a set of classical Alabasta light armor, bare-handed, but with an indescribable sense of pressure filling his entire body.

That is the fury of nature displayed when a Natural Devil Fruit is unleashed to its full potential!

A powerful Natural Devil Fruit user represents a "natural disaster" itself.

And Ryan·Rowan is a genius who has developed the Natural Devil Fruit to the extreme!

In his hands, the already impressive power of the Sand-Sand Fruit has been further developed, ultimately transforming into the form Rowan is now showing.

That is a terrifying power based on nature itself, yet far exceeding "nature"!

"Gravel gravel gravel..."

Strange rumbles came from all parts of the sand golem's body, it was a low growl like that of a beast, filled with a primal sense of power.

"Kai...do..."

The sand golem opened its mouth, using the friction of the sand to unleash a deep voice that was almost a roar.

Distorted, blurred, but chilling.

The sand rubbed together, and the entire sand golem suddenly clenched its right fist, then raised it high, aiming at Onigashima in the distance!

This scene made even those on Drum Island, who were just watching, couldn't help but take half a step back.

Even more, they were directly leaning against the wall, barely managing to keep themselves from collapsing on the ground!

...

This is, of course, an exaggerated scene.

But in fact, that sand golem didn't do anything to affect the people around him.

He didn't carry any killing intent, and he didn't release even a trace of Haoshoku Haki.

But even so, just raising his fist and aiming it forward was enough to make people's spines tingle.

To give an example, it's like being in a closed room with a strong man swinging his large hammer to forge a sword.

Clang clang clang, one hammer after another, heavily falling on Tekkai.

Even though the target is not anyone else in the room, the onlookers still feel terrified!

...

At this moment, for the Drum Kingdom army in the port town of Nanohana, that sand golem is the blacksmith in the closed room, swinging the heavy hammer!

The entire sky and ground seemed to become much "smaller" because of the appearance of that sand golem, eventually turning into an ordinary "room".

The sand golem is in the "room", raising his arm high, aiming at Onigashima!

...

The sand golem's presence is too strong.

Whether from the perspective of presence, or the more direct reality.

Therefore, almost instantly, the Beasts Pirates members on Onigashima noticed something strange in the distance.

Someone... stood up?

In the first few seconds, the Beasts Pirates members didn't notice anything strange, they just saw a "person" slowly standing up.

But after combining it with the surrounding scenery, things got a little weird.

So...so huge!

Hey hey hey hey hey, are you kidding me, that guy should be several times bigger than a giant!

One hundred meters?

Two hundred meters?

Isn't that a bit too exaggerated!

Is there such a monstrous race hiding in the first half of the Grand Line?

No, that's not right.

Soon, the Beasts Pirates members noticed something strange.

All around in the air, there was sand flying everywhere.

Those grains of sand seemed to be imbued with life, floating in the surrounding air, and constantly surging towards the sand golem in the distance in a very special pattern.

Those grains of sand stuck to the sand golem's body, further increasing its already enormous size!

"A...a Devil Fruit user?"

After all, they are members of a pirate crew under the Four Emperors, their knowledge is much wider than ordinary people, and they immediately understood the general situation.

"Sand...is that the Sand-Sand Fruit user?"

"Are you talking about [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile? A mere Shichibukai couldn't have such ability, right?"

"Idiot, I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about another Sand-Sand Fruit user!"

"It's that [Golden Dawn] Ryan·Rowan!"

Many of the Beasts Pirates members are not very bright, they only know to follow their captain and act recklessly, they haven't really thought about what their captain is trying to do on this trip.

After a few people reminded them, more people realized what was going on.

Their captain, [Beasts] Kaido, is here to attack Alabasta.

And in today's Alabasta, the most famous person should be [Golden Dawn] Ryan·Rowan.

But Rowan's "fame" is not about "establishing the Four Seas Alliance", "killing the Donquixote Family in the North Sea", or "cooperating with the Marines" and other crazy things.

Those things might be strange, but they are essentially just some regular things, and there is nothing to be amazed about.

What really made Rowan famous in the New World is his own "specialness".

On this sea, there are two guys with the same Devil Fruit ability at the same time!

One is [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile, who is already famous at sea.

The other is Ryan·Rowan, the "emperor" from eight hundred years ago who was rumored to have recently been resurrected!

This incident itself broke one of the many common senses on this sea.

Therefore, whether it is establishing a huge force, or cooperating with a certain force, these are "possible" things.

But the matter about Ryan·Rowan is filled with a sense of "impossible".

"Wororororororo!"

Kaido sat cross-legged on the projection in front of Onigashima, and laughed with his signature laugh.

He took a big gulp of alcohol, and looked up at the sand golem in front of him.

"Well, let me see what the emperor from eight hundred years ago is capable of!"
