A Double Meaning, Rayleigh on Guard

The battle between the two grew fiercer by the moment!

Though Roya kept switching between his two selves, he found the fight exhilarating!

Meanwhile, on Sabaody Archipelago No. 1 Island...

The island had been utterly destroyed!

Seawater surged in from all sides.

It swallowed the island without mercy.

In the sky, Zero and White Dove faced each other under everyone's gaze.

Everyone was still wondering how White Dove had blocked Zero's attack.

Then White Dove moved.

Though the Susanoo looked enormous,

it was mainly sustained by the power of the Illusion-Illusion Fruit, so it moved as lightly as if it weighed nothing.

"Soru!"

Roya appeared before Zero and extended both hands, one above the other, as though aiming a cannon.

Six Powers Ultimate Art: Maximum Wheel, Six-Point Spear!

As Roya spoke, a dazzling mass of light gathered between his hands.

The immense power contained within it

made everyone shut their eyes instinctively.

Shock swept through them. Once again, they sensed power that could rival the slash from moments before.

"White Dove's strength actually matches Zero's!"

"That much power is just ridiculous!"

"After this battle, White Dove's reputation will never be the same!"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Kizaru and Akainu wanted to go help White Dove.

But as that power burst forth, they realized they had no chance of entering the battlefield!

Rrrip!

The air seemed to tear apart!

A massive fissure opened in the sea!

For a moment, it showed no sign of closing!

Boom!

The Six-Point Spear erupted!

A violent gale swept outward in an instant!

Then, all at once,

the sunlight vanished. Dark clouds filled the sky, a lightning dragon roared, and a torrential downpour began!

As the light gradually faded, Zero was no longer in the sky.

He seemed to have vanished into thin air.
