"My intention is very simple. Starting today, Skypiea will be officially incorporated into the territory of the World Government, renamed as the Skypiea Special Zone, and placed under the comprehensive jurisdiction of the World Government. I can make an exception and let you serve as the first governor of the Skypiea Special Zone," Rosse spoke with an indifferent expression and a calm tone, looking at Gan Fall, directly stating his intention without any roundabout way.
There was not the slightest hint of beating around the bush, nor the slightest tone of negotiation, completely issuing an unquestionable order.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Gan Fall]
[Comprehensive Rating: C-]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The strongest person on the entire Skypiea, Gan Fall, was only at C level, not even as strong as the combat strength on Holy Land.
From the beginning, Skypiea was not qualified to communicate with him on equal terms.
The total population of Skypiea was just a little over ten thousand. To put it harshly, if he wanted to slaughter all the people of Skypiea and completely sink both Angel Island and Upper Yard, it probably wouldn't even take ten minutes.
The reason he was willing to talk first rather than take direct action was already giving the Skypieans a chance.
The race with small white wings was rare, and the appearance of people like Conia was rather to Rosse's aesthetic liking.
It's just that the male genes here weren't great and might need some optimization.
If Gan Fall didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't mind cleaning up conveniently.
If Gan Fall chose to submit, he wouldn't mind taking a few years.
After all, Gan Fall looked about the same age as Zephyr and wouldn't be in office for many more years.
Once Gan Fall retired or passed away, the transfer of power in Skypiea could be more smoothly and steadily completed, which was also a good thing for Rosse, saving a lot of trouble.
"This...", Gan Fall, upon hearing this, immediately fell into hesitation, his face showing obvious reluctance.
If it were other small matters, even if it were just a short stay, he could treat the group as gods.
But now, taking over Skypiea directly, he couldn't help but feel some unwillingness.
However, this unwillingness was more of a probing assessment.
He wanted more to know what Rosse's attitude toward them was.
If it was to oppress them, then he would rather die than let Rosse succeed.
The nearby Divine Squad were even more direct, all kinds of weapons already drawn, just waiting for Gan Fall to give the order and they would kill Rosse on the spot.
What the hell.
Skypiea belonged to Skypieans.
A mere Blue Sea person wanted them to accept governance?
Impossible.
Rosse keenly captured the complicated and contradictory expressions on Gan Fall and the Divine Squad around him.
The corners of his mouth slightly curved upward as he let out a scornful laugh, "From now on, your term is only 4 years."
Since Gan Fall wanted to see it, then let him see Rosse's attitude.
As soon as the words fell, the Trident of the Sea God suddenly appeared in Rosse's hand.
Facing the vigilant Gan Fall and others, Rosse didn't even glance at them properly.
Swish!
On the Trident of the Sea God, Conqueror's Haki suddenly coiled up.
This was the technique he gained from killing Redfield, and now it was the first time using it.
Conqueror's coating combined with Devil Fruit ability, today he could test its power.
If the earlier Rosse was already unfathomable,
Then now, Rosse, surrounded by Conqueror's Haki and holding the Trident of the Sea God, was like a descended deity, exuding pressure from within, terrifying to the extreme.
Sensing Rosse's sudden outburst of Conqueror's Haki, even though it wasn't aimed directly at them, Gan Fall and the Divine Squad felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their faces pale.
Almost simultaneously, all the Divine Squad felt as if they bore an invisible mountain, could no longer support themselves, their legs buckled, and they knelt to the ground.
Each of them had ashen faces, eyes full of incomparable fear and despair, bodies stiff and unable to move, as if all their strength and courage had been drained.
And this was only the natural pressure produced by the Conqueror's coating.
Fortunately, Rosse's Conqueror's Haki wasn't aimed directly at them. Otherwise, with their strength, fainting at best or dying on the spot was not out of the question.
"So strong...", Gan Fall was the only Skypiean present who could barely stand. But even he had trembling legs, a pale face, his body tottering, almost collapsing to the ground.
Only by gritting his teeth did he barely remain upright.
From Rosse's Conqueror's Haki, he had already sensed Rosse's attitude.
It was just that this attitude made him feel despair.
Rosse seemed to be saying that no matter what he wanted to do, people like him had no power to resist.
The key was, that was indeed the truth.
The fight hadn't even started, and they were already all on the ground.
The gap was just too great.
"So this is the result...", Conia let out a soft sigh. She had already foreseen this outcome.
Protected by Gion and controlled by Rosse, she was not affected and could move freely.
Just seeing Gan Fall and the others' miserable state, she knew they were enduring some kind of pressure.
Even the prelude before the battle couldn't be endured, how could they fight?
It wasn't that Conia lacked the courage to resist.
But facing the power Rosse displayed, she felt there was no point in resistance.
From the moment the Shandians were killed... no, from the moment she led Rosse and the others, she had already anticipated this ending.
Facing Rosse and the others, even their god had no power to resist.
At this moment, Rosse's performance clearly wasn't over.
In fact, this was only the beginning.
As Rosse continued to release Conqueror's Haki, the Haki wrapping the Trident of the Sea God reached its peak.
And at the very moment it reached the peak, Rosse suddenly swung the Trident of the Sea God fiercely and slashed forward into the empty air.
Zzzz!
In an instant, the heavens and earth lost color, the winds and clouds changed.
The entire Upper Yard Island trembled violently at that moment, emitting a tooth-aching rumble, as if about to collapse and disintegrate.
Under the stunned and unbelievable gazes of everyone present, including Gion and Sora, with Rosse's swing of the Trident of the Sea God, a dazzling, blinding strike appeared in the air ahead, like red thunder, also like a bursting dam of torrential floodwaters, terrifying and surging.
That red thunder-like sea waterfall was at least ten meters wide, and its height soared skyward, as if it would tear the sky apart. As for the length... it was almost immeasurable to the naked eye.
Everyone could only watch with wide eyes as that red lightning sea waterfall, like a destructive force of nature, surged forward unstoppably, roaring and crushing everything in its path.
Whether it was towering ancient trees, hard rocks, undulating hills, or even lofty mountains.
Under the terrifying impact of that red thunder sea waterfall, all were destroyed like fragile tofu, turned to dust, completely annihilated, leaving not a trace.
The red thunder sea waterfall surged forward endlessly, seemingly without an end.
It continued for at least over a dozen kilometers, nearly sweeping across the entire Upper Yard. Until it completely plowed through the central area of the island—
Only then did that terrifying red lightning sea waterfall gradually dissipate, turning into sparkling droplets of light, dispersing in the air.
The water droplets eventually disappeared, as if they had never existed.
This was currently Rosse's strongest strike, also the strike where Devil Fruit power and Conqueror's coating were pushed to their limit.
