Chapter 26 Overload Part 2

The officer looking at the scene with his Observation Haki looked on with a solemn look on his face, he looked at Rowan who was exuding an extremely strong and dangerous aura from the center of the field and spoke calmly.

“He is just warming up!”

“Uh…Is that so?”

The Instructor shrugged and he was about to say something but he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. Looking up, the whole area had fallen into deathly silence! 

The Marine Officers who were using their Observation Haki frowned and looked at Rowen. Affected by them, the surrounding civilians stopped talking and cast their eyes on Rowen.

In the end, what happened?

Ordinary people are definitely not as good as Marine officers. They can smell the heavy threat of death from Rowen, they know that Rowen has changed from a small figure to a beast who will eat them if they move against him! In their eyes, Rowen just had a few spots on his skin, which made him look weird.

In this regard, as Rowen’s teacher, Zephyr smiled happily.

“Have you finally finished it? Rowen… then, Show them, show them what kind of Monsters came out of Headquarters Recruiting Camp!”

Overload Form·30 Million Volt!!!

Rowen’s appearance is the same as when he uses the Overload 10 Million Volt form, but if someone looks closely, they will find that there are no pupils in his eyes, and they have become bright balls of light. In the surrounding air, tiny electric currents emerge out of thin air, and lightning the size of a hair began to strike the ground.

Hum… Hum…

Moving his fingers indifferently, Rowen spoke to himself: “Half an hour of healing time, I would not be able to mobilize my thunder for fifteen minutes and my stamina will be exhausted. I don’t know how high in Doriki Value I can get after paying such a high price?”

Now he can only perfectly control the Overload Form of 10 Million Volt, not just point it in one direction and letting it go…

To test his limit, Rowen directly used his Strongest Overload Form!

Click!

Click!

Slowly raising his arm, thin silk-like snakes made out of lightning were flying around uncontrollably, and the high temperature of thunder and lightning blew the air continuously, creating a familiar smell of ozone, Rowen folded his fingers one by one and created a fist.

Guru…

At some point, everyone at the viewing platform was looking at Rowen and they couldn’t turn away. Looking at him, they felt as if they were looking at the abyss, there is an inexplicable attraction to his figure that makes their heart chill.

Swallowing hard, the civilians kept their eyes on, waiting for the test.

Immediately……

Zī Zī Zī Zī!!

The dazzling Thunderlight gathered in Rowen’s fists and crackled. But they are not simply agglomerations, but they show eight curved Thunder Pillars, constantly hovering around his arm. 

Soon, from the very white and round beams of light, those thunder and lightning became dragon-like with figures with clear scales. Every single one of those eight thunder and lightning became a little Dragon.

Bang Rumble!!!

Suddenly, the thunderbolt dragon shot out uncontrollably, flaring his teeth and claws in the air, scaring the people on the viewing platform and creating chaos. However, before the thunder and lightning fell, the gravity seemed to have attracted them all back. Everyone looked back, and they found that it was Rowen who had called them back!

These thunder and lightning dragons are not external forces and cannot be wasted at will, but Rowen released them to accumulate more energy. He can’t control this move perfectly right now. At this moment, all of his energy is devoted to the thunder that is rolling around his fists.

With the blessing of thunder and lightning, the little Dragons around his fist swelled rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into huge monsters with a length of more than ten meters with surging electric lights!

“This trick has a nice name, called…”

Rowen raised his head and a grin appeared on his mouth.

Then he stepped forward and he slammed his fist out.

“Overload Form·Esoterics·Eight Dragon Grasping Gems!!!”

Under the gaze of many people, eight Thunder Dragons flew down around Rowen. They roared and moaned endlessly, leaving behind the beautiful but deadly Thunderlight tassels, and then they fiercely impacted against the test machine. After a deafening explosion, an invisible surge burst out, blowing everything around!

Afterward, the eight dragons of thunder followed one after another and the dazzling thunder emitted a strong light, and exploded with the sound of Bang!

For a time, people heard the explosion even on the other side of the Island!

Boom!!!

…

Many people believe that the third type of Devil Fruits are called Logia because the power they represent can be found in nature, so they are named after Logia.

But…

Through Zephyr’s explanation to Rowen, he learned that the real reason why Logia is called “Logia” is that they are like nature and represent the vastness of that element! Because of the fear and awe of nature, Devil Fruits, which can grant these powers, were named Logia.

As it is now, Rowen’s move has a dramatic name “Eight Dragon Grasping Gems”, which once again evokes the awe of mankind towards nature!

The sky was stunning and thunder exploded in it, and the people present here couldn’t hear anything but a buzz in their ears! The dazzling Thunderlight looks like it is all over the world, Occasionally, a small ray of thunder and lightning would burst out, hitting their faces, causing tingling pain sensation, and letting people know that they are still alive.

In the stands, Sengoku held onto his hat that was about to be blown away, and sighed out loud in a mixed mood: “I finally know why Zephyr wanted me to increase the distance between the audience stand and the test stand…”

If the distance was not increased, Rowen’s current move would have involved everyone around him, and the consequences would have been very serious! Unlike now where the major Instructors of the Recruit Camp made their moves neatly and quickly blocked the lightning that spread out.

The Thunderlight didn’t last long and it almost disappeared after a few seconds. But in the stands, the group of ordinary people were panting with dementia and they looked at the Test Site.

The Recruits of Rowen’s team were even more unbearable, they were all sitting on the ground, receiving Zephyr protection. When they remembered that they almost came under such terrifying thunderstorms, their heartbeats became faster.

“This… Monster!”

No one knew how long it took before someone said this sentence dryly. Hearing this, the people around him nodded and cast admiring glances at Rowen.

This is One Piece World, a world where the strong are respected!

No matter how bad Rowen’s results were in the first test, he is now a strong person!

He is Worthy of respect from everyone!

Only…… Riwen fell down.

“Uh……!!”

Seeing Rowen falling down with the smoking test machine, the crowd’s cheers stuck in their throats. They looked left and right, staring helplessly.

They were about to cheer, but the protagonist fell down. This was… embarrassing!

“Keep him down! You…check his results!”

“Yes!”

Zephyr was prepared for this, and he ordered at once, someone immediately picked up Rowen and sent him to the rear. There was plenty of food for him, and he would be able to eat until he is full. Given Rowen’s special physique, this injury was not a concern for him or for anyone.

Afterward, the Officer mobilized his unskilled Armament Haki and he lifted the flashing test machine and looked down. The Instructor in charge of reporting the number suddenly looked at the number in horror and stared straight. It wasn’t until the Officer gave him an impatient look that he swallowed his saliva and spoke.

“The results are valid!”

“Recruit Rowen, Doriki Value…”

Guru…

After swallowing hard again, the Instructor shouted hoarsely: “2700!!!”

Bang!

The Instructor threw away the nearly scrapped testing machine with his numb hands and feet, and the sound was like explosives, detonating the atmosphere!

“What?! 2700!!!”

“Unbelievable! This is unbelievable!!!”

“2700 Doriki value!!!”

“This kind of power is about the same as Headquarters Officer, right?!”

“This is more than that! This kind of power is enough to let him become a Rear Admiral in the Four Seas!”

The Officers who can stay in the Marine Headquarters have the same position as the officers in the branches of Four Seas and Grand Line, but their strength is definitely different! 

Like Shuzo who has the strength of 4000 Doriki, it is enough for him to serve as a Base Head in any branch of the Grand Line, and it is also a General Position. In Headquarters, even if he had made no mistakes in the past, he is at most at Rear-Admiral position.

The reason for this situation, in the final analysis, is the opponent’s strength gap.

The highest position in the Base Head of the Four Seas branch is Rear Admiral, which is generally an Officer of the Headquarters. But because the Four Seas are weak, as long as they have the ability and Military Merits, ordinary people without strength can also sit at that position. 

Because the enemy they have to face is very different from the Grand Line, Marine’s Strong weapons and people are not something they can just send to the Four Seas!

But on the Grand Line…

If they tried to put a person with no strength in a high position, then he would be found murdered the next day by either the pirates or…
