Oven's heating lasted a full ten-odd minutes. Who knew how much seawater had been evaporated into the sky? Before their eyes, the originally clear heavens filled with dark clouds.
Before long, a torrential downpour came crashing down over their heads. Everyone present, including King Riku, who had been dragged back, was drenched to the bone.
Countless purple-white bolts of lightning fell alongside the rain, accompanied by unending, ear-splitting thunder.
This was clearly the kind of typical convective rainstorm only seen in the height of summer, yet Dressrosa was still in the dead of winter!
For a moment, King Riku looked at Charlotte Oven with even greater terror. "So not only can Big Mom herself create natural disasters, but even her son can too?"
The weather in the New World truly could not be explained by common sense. Torrential rain was not a metaphor here, but a fact.
Because the rainfall was so heavy, Mousse, as a Devil Fruit user, even felt weak all over. Had his sister Castard not grabbed hold of him, he might have been blown over by the gale and choked in the floodwater, which had already risen over a foot deep.
Rainfall of this magnitude was enough to cause a disaster. Fortunately, they had brought Zeus with them this time. Once he took to the skies, the power of the thunderstorm began to weaken.
Not long after, Charlotte Oven finally stopped as well, resolving the problem at its source.
