The peak master, Gal Testa, slowly rose to his feet. He carried no weapons, yet his entire being was like a divine weapon unsheathed, battle-hardened and indestructible! His heavy, sharp aura, seemingly capable of cutting through any obstacle, pressed down on the Straw Hat Pirates had just reached the summit, making even nine times the force of gravity seem somewhat insignificant in the face of this aura.
"The final trial is simple." Gal Testa's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Stand before me for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Or... allow me to take a step back."
He extended a finger, the tip of which seemed to embody the weight and sharpness of the entire Rogrim.
"Of course, you can all come together."
Arrogant! Yet, no one dared to refute him, for his imposing presence proved he had the right to be so arrogant!
"I'll go!" Zoro was the first to step forward, his three swords instantly drawn. He unleashed the "Gravity Slash" field he had just mastered, attempting to sever the invisible pressure of the aura. However, his invincible slashing intent was like a mud ox sinking into the sea when it came into contact with Gal Testa's aura, only causing a ripple and failing to shake it in the slightest!
"Your understanding of 'slashing' is still too immature." Gal Testa didn't even look at Zoro, simply offering a brief comment.
" Gum-Gum - King Kong Murder of Crows Cannon!" Luffy unleashed Gear Fourth, unleashing countless giant fists wreathed in black and red Haki, raining down on Gale Testa like a storm!
Gal Testa remained motionless, but the terrifying aura surrounding him slightly solidified!
Rumble--!
All of Luffy's attacks shattered as if they had hit an invisible and indestructible wall several meters away from him, and he couldn't even get close!
"His strength is decent, but his Haki... is scattered and not solidified," Gal Testa commented again.
"Divine Fire - Shiranui!" Ace's platinum flame spear shot out like a meteor, its extreme heat seemingly melting the space itself.
This time, Gal Testa finally moved—he raised that finger and gently tapped it against the flaming spear.
There was no collision, no explosion. The platinum flame spear, imbued with Ace's full power and possessing terrifying heat, vanished silently the moment it touched that fingertip, like a bubble bursting! As if it had never existed!
"The essence of fire is the manifestation of energy and rules; your control remains superficial." Gal Testa's gaze remained calm.
Sanji's Diable Jambe, Jinbe's Fish-Man Karate, Franky's General Cannon, Brook's Soul Howl, Robin's Vibration Pulse Technique... all of their attacks seemed pale and powerless before Gal Testana's aura, which seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and his seemingly ordinary finger. They couldn't even make him move an inch!
He is like an ancient mountain, unmoved by wind and rain!
The Straw Hat Pirates's strongest attacks couldn't even budge their opponent an inch! They couldn't even get the opponent to get serious!
Is this... the power of the Lord of Rogrim?!
A sense of despair began to spread in the hearts of some.
Just then, Allen, who had been silently watching the battle, finally stepped forward and faced Gal Testa directly.
"Your 'momentum' isn't simply Haki or power," Allen said, revealing the key point, "But rather a power that's almost a domain, formed by highly condensing and sublimating one's will, beliefs, and even understanding of the rules of power. It directly affects reality, negating all attacks below its level."
For the first time, Gal Testa showed a hint of seriousness. He looked at Allen and nodded. "Good eye. It seems you are the one among them who is truly qualified to undergo my trial."
He withdrew his finger, but his aura suddenly surged once more, as if he had merged with the Unyielding Peak beneath his feet and with the entire Rogrim Island!
"Then let me see just how far your 'power' has gone?"
The final showdown seems to be between Allen and this " Unyielding Blade "!
