"Such speed! Even Observation Haki can hardly detect it. Although I was careless, this attack is indeed far beyond what I imagined!" Roy's eyes became extremely serious. He had always thought that although this kind of weapon of war was incredibly powerful and could wipe out an island with a single strike, it shouldn't be of much use to a top-tier fighter like him with extremely high mobility.

This is actually a common understanding on the high seas: what's the use of a powerful attack if it can't hit anyone? The cannons and muskets currently available on the high seas are only good for dealing with Fire Pistol fodder, and they're not very effective against pirates with bounties of over 100 million, let alone a great pirate like Roy.

But now it seems that his idea may be wrong. This Annihilation Ion Cannon is not only extremely powerful, but also incredibly fast. Observation Haki may not be able to perfectly detect it. It can be said that those so-called strongmen on the sea can basically be killed with one shot.

The problem now is that if he attacks from an extremely long distance, even if he can break through the protective shield, the process itself is enough for the terrifying light wave to negate his attack.

As for close-range attacks, it's practically sending yourself close to the Annihilation Ion Cannon to be bombarded. In such a short time, even he himself might not be able to react in time. It's not very reliable to place all your hopes on the ability to Future Sight. After all, Future Sight is not omnipotent. It's fine against enemies weaker than yourself, but against top-tier combatants of the same level, there is a risk of failing to foresee the future.

"A combination of biology, technology, and Devil Fruit abilities? What a terrifying monster!" Roy took a deep breath. If his true form were here, he would naturally be fearless. Even this ultimate weapon of war, bearing the title of "god," would be unable to withstand such power that surpasses all limits. However, the problem is that his clone has not yet reached the level of being able to ignore the power that almost annihilates space.

"How about we find a way to lure it into the Fantasy Kingdom and let its true form take action?" However, Roy quickly shook his head and rejected the idea. The price he would have to pay for using this ultimate weapon of war was beyond his imagination. Otherwise, Loki would not have been so desperate as to awaken it, and the Giants would not have remained holed up in Elbaf.

"Captain, why don't you let me try? Hmph, technological weapons are a joke in the eyes of Logia-type Fruit Devil Fruit User." Enel transformed into lightning and rushed over, speaking disdainfully to the infinitely magnificent Pluton.

Roy's eyes lit up. Indeed, for Logia Devil Fruit User, especially those who Awakening their powers, these technological weapons are almost useless. Moreover, he did not sense the power of Sea Stone from the previous attacks.

However, Roy still cautiously reminded him, "Be careful. After all, it's the Extremely Evil Battleship known as Pluton, and what it showed before was only one of its attack methods. There's no guarantee that it won't have other tricks up its sleeve."

"Hahaha, Captain, just wait for my good news! The ocean must tremble in fear of thunder!" Enel didn't care and flew forward with a loud laugh.

"Annihilation Ion Cannon!"

Another terrifying beam of energy shot out, the dazzling white light filling the entire world. Even Roy, from a great distance, could feel the terrifying power within the beam. Enel, who was blocking the track, was blasted into nothingness by this ion cannon. But in the next instant, lightning condensed in the world, Enel reappeared unharmed in his original position, laughing wildly.

As expected, no matter how powerful the Annihilation Ion Cannon was, it could not break through the limitations of the world and was helpless against Elementalization enemies.

"Ten Thousand Thunderbolts Thunder Judgement!"

Enel knew that with Pluton's power, ordinary attacks couldn't harm it at all, so he unleashed his ultimate move right away.

The vast sea of lightning instantly enveloped Pluton's enormous body. Black lightning flashed within, electric snakes danced wildly, and thunder dragons roared. All things trembled and groaned under the power of heaven and earth. In Roy's previous life's novels, this would at least be the tribulation of lightning that a person undergoing the transformation from mortal to immortal during the Mahayana stage would undergo. It was terrifying beyond measure.

The moment the sea of lightning exploded, an invisible protective shield rose from the body of the continental whale, blocking the endless lightning.

"It works!" Roy thought to himself. Although he failed to break through the barrier, the aura of the protective shield he sensed had indeed decreased significantly. If it was 100% charged before, then Enel's ultimate move had blasted away at least 10% of its energy.

Pluton's enormous size provides it with a near-infinite amount of energy, which is the source of its confidence to unleash devastating attacks like the Annihilation Ion Cannon without restraint. However, its massive size also makes it an easy target. Furthermore, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit's power is limited. If Pluton were only the size of a typical island, the area that the shield would need to cover would be greatly reduced, and Enel's attack would be lucky to deplete even 1% of its energy.

The lightning bolts were blocked by the protective shield, and the Pluton's ship was thus undamaged. However, it seemed to know that the Annihilation Ion Cannon attack would be ineffective against Enel, so it used a "splash leap" to fly out of the sea and crashed its enormous body into Enel. To everyone's horror, its round head was covered with a layer of black metallic luster, which was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.

"Pfft, Armament Haki?" Enel almost peed his pants in fright. He definitely didn't want to know what it felt like to be hit head-on by a continent.

Roy's eyes were also somewhat dazed. A whale that can Armament Haki?

Hmm, in his past life's memories, there were also Kung Fu Dugong who could Armament Haki, so thinking about it that way, it's understandable that whales could Armament Haki... Bullshit!

Roy suddenly started to wander. If Neptune has Observation Haki Pluton Poseidon Armament Haki, then could the legendary Uranus have Conqueror's Haki?

Enel's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he transformed into lightning and fled at top speed. However, he hadn't gone far when he crashed into an invisible barrier and was forced out of his Elementalization state.

Seeing this, Roy quickly snapped out of his daze and unleashed a powerful slash that shattered the invisible barrier, taking Enel away from Pluton's attack range.

"Fortunately, the barrier becomes more fragile the further it is from the main body, otherwise I might not have been able to cut it in one strike," Roy thought with some relief.

Boom!

Pluton's body plunged into the sea once more, stirring up a terrifying wave nearly a thousand meters high, which swept outwards in all directions.
