Rektol stepped out of the dark underground temple, his feet sinking into the damp, rubble.
Military boots trotted onto the yellow earth, making a dull thud.
The blinding sunlight pierced through the thin clouds of Wano, shining directly on his face.
His vampire instincts caused him to have a slight physiological aversion to sunlight.
A slight burning sensation spread across my skin, like being pricked by hundreds of needles at once.
Before he could even raise his hand to cover himself...
The third heart in the right chest cavity pounded violently.
A layer of dark red blood vapor, invisible to the naked eye, seeped out from every pore of the body.
The blood and qi quickly congealed under the sunlight, adhering to his skin and forming a thin, slightly reddish, transparent film.
The burning sensation disappeared instantly.
This thin film perfectly blocked the corrosive effects of ultraviolet rays. Standing under the sun, he didn't feel any discomfort from the heat.
Rektol clenched his fist.
The joints made a crisp popping sound. The thin membrane acted like a second skin, without affecting the tactile sensation.
Three-Core Drive, fully formed.
The first heart on the left contains the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Two hundred million volts of electricity danced on the fingertips of his left hand. The intense heat tore the air apart, producing a piercing hiss. This was the most extreme destructive force and speed on this ocean.
The second heart in the middle controls the Float-Float Fruit.
With a slight press of his right hand, the soil within a ten-meter radius levitated. Then, under the crushing force of reverse gravity, it was instantly compressed into a high-density soil ball the size of a fist. It fell to the ground and created a deep crater.
Unsolvable mobility and widespread gravity crushing.
The third heart on the right is fused with the Vampire-Vampire Fruit.
A continuous flow of vital energy surged through his veins. The slight muscle soreness from squeezing out the two fruits earlier was completely swept away, replaced by inexhaustible, ferocious stamina.
He bent down.
He picked up a broken samurai sword from the nearby ruins. The blade was covered in dried blood.
Without any hesitation.
Rektol, holding the broken sword, aimed it at his left wrist and slashed down forcefully.
The cut was very deep; the sharp gash severed the major artery.
The rolled-up flesh revealed the white bones underneath.
The blood had just gushed from the veins; not a single drop had even had time to fall onto the soil.
A red halo appeared at the edge of the wound.
The granulation tissue was like living threads, frantically intertwining and snapping together.
0.1 second.
The incision healed completely, leaving not even a tiny white mark. Only a smear of blood remained on the smooth skin.
Rektol dropped his broken sword. The metal shard clattered against the stone.
He shook his wrist. The pain hadn't even reached his brain before the wound was gone.
Rebirth from a drop of blood. Unlimited stamina.
High attack, high speed, strong control, plus an insanely resilient ability that makes it virtually unkillable.
He has now become a true hexagonal numerical monster.
"Bang."
Suddenly, a high wall of a quarry in the distance collapsed. Several samurai from Wano, pushing mine carts, looked over in this direction with expressions of horror.
Rektol ignored them.
He took a deep breath. His lungs expanded violently, and he inhaled large gulps of air that smelled of earth.
Legs slightly bent.
The thigh muscles tightened like a winch. The rubber on the soles of the military boots began to melt under the high temperature and pressure, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
"Boom!"
The ground suddenly collapsed.
A giant meteorite crater, hundreds of meters in diameter, was instantly formed. Spiderweb-like cracks tore apart the entire Udon Quarry. Tons of soil were thrown up in all directions.
Rektol rose from the ground.
The speed instantly broke the sound barrier. Two white sonic boom clouds exploded in mid-air, shattering the eardrums of all the samurai below. Several people rolled on the ground, clutching their bleeding ears.
One second.
It only lasted a fleeting second.
Rektol's body tore through the thick cumulonimbus clouds of Wano and pierced the troposphere.
Blue Inazuma, a black gravitational field, and dark red blood energy swirled around him, forming a violent energy storm.
He remained in the stratosphere.
Beneath my feet lies a vast, white sea of clouds. Above me stretches the dark, deep expanse of space.
The air here is extremely thin. The temperature is tens of degrees below zero.
The thin membrane of blood vapor blocked the extreme cold of the high altitude. He hovered in mid-air, and the three hearts in his chest cavity simultaneously entered an overclocked state.
He did not deliberately seek out targets to attack.
It was simply about releasing the terrifying energy that had been building up inside his body.
The three-colored energy ripples spread outwards in all directions from him.
The Earth's atmosphere was forcibly disturbed by this tyrannical force.
Below is the sea area of Wano.
The towering waterfall came to an abrupt halt. The sea roared under the immense pressure, then defied gravity and surged upwards into the sky.
The sea levels in the New World rose and fell violently, creating waves tens of meters high.
The first half of the Grand Line.
Deep in the Calm Belt, the sea, calm for hundreds of years, resembled boiling water.
Countless enormous Sea King surfaced in terror. Their massive bodies collided with each other, emitting mournful cries that shattered eardrums.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Giant mangrove bubbles burst one after another. The once clear sky was instantly filled with dark clouds. Hail mixed with torrential rain pounded on the island.
At this moment, the global weather system was thrown into complete chaos.
Storms, tsunamis, and thunderstorms unfolded simultaneously in four sea areas. The entire world trembled under the aftershocks of this energy.
The distant Marineford.
Marine Headquarters, Supreme Scientific Monitoring Room.
The room was filled with rows of sophisticated mechanical instruments. Red and green indicator lights flashed alternately. The air was filled with the hum of electronic components.
A naval technician in a white lab coat is holding a coffee cup.
He yawned and just brought the cup to his lips.
"Drop--"
A sharp, long siren shattered the silence of the monitoring room.
The technician's hand trembled, and hot coffee spilled onto his crotch, scalding him so much that he jumped up. The porcelain cup fell onto the floor tiles and shattered.
He didn't even bother wiping his pants; he scrambled towards the giant energy band monitoring device in the very center.
The black needle on the dashboard swung wildly to the right.
It crossed the red danger line, surpassed the peak value for Admiral, and crashed directly into the metal stop bar on the far right of the dial.
"Click click click..."
The solid iron pointer was bent under the force of the huge reading, making a teeth-grinding twisting sound.
"What... what's that noise?!" the technician's voice cracked.
He frantically typed on the keyboard, trying to recalibrate the data. His fingers trembled so much that he pressed several wrong keys.
The energy waveform on the screen turned into a vertically upward dead line.
"Bang!"
The thick, explosion-proof glass of the dashboard shattered. Glass shards flew everywhere, cutting the technician's cheek. Blood dripped from his chin onto the control panel.
At the same second.
The red air raid siren lights atop Marineford began to spin wildly.
Sengoku sat in his office, his pen drawing a long line of ink on a document.
He jumped to his feet. The chair tipped backward and crashed onto the carpet.
He rushed to the window and pushed it open. Looking at the flashing red light above him, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
The piercing siren wailed through the sky, drowning out the cries of the seagulls in the square.
The sound was so shrill it made your teeth ache. Even the glass windows were shaking.
The alarm sounded for more than ten seconds.
A muffled bang came from several loudspeakers hanging high on the wall.
The internal coil burned out and broke due to overload.
Thick black smoke billowed from the speaker grille, leaving a glaring black mark on the white wall of the corridor.
