  "Run... Run!" O Fursten roared, quickly rushing to the helm. He spped the helmsman aside, sending the underling flying, and took trol himself.

  But his voice trembled slightly, and the sound of the wind covered it, so the Pirate crew didn't uand. They thought their captain was eager to plunder.

  They cheered excitedly, beating their chests. Some of the ships, eager to get ahead, eveook the main ship, speeding towards Arthur.

  "Arthur, Pirates are blog the way!" Aurora called out, a note en her voice.

  The warning snapped Arthur out of his deep thought.

  Disturbed from his ption, his faaturally darkened.

  "...." His expression was cold. The inspiration he'd just had vanished without a trace, fueling a murdere.

  "Hahaha, there's a woman!"

  "Kill them all, and offer the woman to the cap!"

  "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

  The two sides' ships had met. The Pirates brandished their heavy s, flinging the iron balls at the end toward the mast of Arthur's ship.

  Arthur's gaze turned icy. He reached to his waist, and with a surge of electricity, the iron ed around his waist instantly transformed into a long, shimmering whip of crag lightning.

  "Eleagism - Iron Sand Whip!"

  The around his waist was inally made of iron sand. On the God-Given Isnd of Sunlight and Hope—Arthur had drawn iron sand from the ground, developing a move called [Eleagism - Iron Sand Sword].

  The [Iron Sand Whip] and the [Iron Sand Sword] were simir in principle.

  However, the sword was generally used for close bat, while the [Iron Sand Whip] could be extended indefinitely, used for le attacks!

  "Whoosh!!"

  Driven by electricity, the whip cracked through the air. Illuminated by the sunlight, it shoh a brilliant blue light.

  It extended forward tinuously.

  The head of the [Iron Sand Whip] suddenly swerved, shing out at the Pirates who were trying to board.

  The Pirates at the forefront didn't even uand what had happened before their bodies were sliced in two. With a "plop," they fell into the sea, their blood instantly staining the water red.

  "What's going on?"

  "What happened??"

  The Pirates who were preparing to board via the s paused, staring in horror at their dead rades.

  "Where's the Captain??"

  "The Captain—he ran!"

  Some Pirates turheir heads, seeing that the main ship had already turned around and was fleeing at full speed, like a desperate stray dog.

  Before they could react, the blue-electric-driven [Iron Sand Whip], like a slehread, turned again and shed towards them. The dazzling light, though it was lightning, felt as cold as ice, making the many Pirates shudder.

  The iron sand, trolled by Eleagic force, had the potential for infiension. And by eg it with Eleagism, it es sharpness and preve from easily breaking. Its destructive power was astonishing. With a single sh, it could even slice a Pirate ship in two.

  Its sharpness seemed parable to the level of a swordsman who had mastered cutting steel!

  O Fursten took the helm, fleeing swiftly. Thanks to the favorable wind and the ship's own power, it was like an arrow loosed from a bow.

  He seemed to think he was safe. He took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and looked ba the dire from which he had fled.

  Arthur's Iron Sand Whip had thio the size of a hair, but its power remained undiminished. Under his Eleagitrol, it was as nimble as his own arm, striking wherever he directed, with incredible flexibility.

  Every sh cimed the lives of over a dozen men. One ship after another lit in two and sank to the bottom of the sea, causing many Pirates to wet themselves in fear.

  Let's test the power of the Eleagic Railgun!

  Arthur found killing with the Iron Sand Whip slow, far less effit than the all-enpassing Rain of Thunder. So he stopped.

  With a thought, the scythe-like iron sand immediately flew back, gathering in his palm.

  He separated a -sized iron ball. Eleagic forstantly spread out, f a magic field. He adjusted the unch trajectory, aiming at the Pirate ship with the most Pirates.

  Eleagism, as the driving force, could greatly increase the speed and power of a projectile, making it a huimes strohan the ons on Marine warships.

  "Super Eleagic Railgun!!" Arthur flicked his hand.

  "BOOOOOMMM!!!"

  The iron ball and the air rubbed violently, produg a deafening roar. Because of the presence of the atmosphere, fri geed heat, and the iron ball quickly began to melt. The intense heat caused the iron to begin to vaporize.

  "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!"

  Almost immediately, the Eleagic Railgun struck the Pirate ship, which was less than 600 feet away. The immense power shattered the ship into pieces.

  Fmes erupted. The entire ship of Pirates was instantly swallowed by the sea!

  The Eleagic Railgun tinued onward, striking the surface of the sea, creating a crater. Another sed ter, a cloud of steam rose, the heat from the fri vaporizing the seawater, which was then dispersed by the sea breeze.

  "S-save... Save me!"

  No one could know the feelings of these few surviving Pirates. They thought they could plunder wealth or beautiful women as usual. But instead... they entered the grim reaper's scythe. Their captain, seeing the situation, had fled faster than a rabbit!

  Some clever Pirates immediately abandoned ship, plunging into the sea with a "plop," relying on their det swimming skills to escape.

  These small fries weren't worthy of Arthur's attention. He had crushed a swarm of ants, nothing more. He didn't even ge his expression. He frowned and tio think.

  "The [Iron Sand Whip] and [Iron Sand Sword] are only useful for clearing out small fry. Their efficy is far inferior to [Divine Judgment] and [Rain of Thunder]!

  So they only be used in close bat against skilled oppos, simir to how Kizaru uses the Ama no Murakumo Sword, which he forms from light."

  "The Eleagic Railgun's power is great, but it also has shortings. Because the unched iron ball 't be elementalized, it's limited by speed and air pressure. Although it's still fast, it's absolutely unusable against skilled oppos. Observation Haki predict the point of impact! Moreover... the intense fri gees heat. If the iron ball is too small, it will vaporize before it hits. If it's te, the effect is diminished, wasting stamina!"

  "Moreover, I still 't use Eleagism to freely increase or decrease fri aicity!"

  Arthur fell into deep thought, ign external affairs.

  ....

  Aurora, for the first time, withe true power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It was far more powerful than when he had killed Gotti on Elbak Isnd. Her heart was filled with shock.

  Her pretty face was ruffled by the wind, and her eyes darted around.

  Meanwhile, the Pirate leader, O Fursten, who had already escaped, withis shog se through a telescope. He wiped away his cold sweat, gd he had run fast.

  "That's the legendary Logia-type Devil Fruit? Hhtening... Good thing I'm quick-witted! No, the Young Miss has recruited this powerful man—she's probably ing to deal with e Bege. I have to report bad let the boss prepare!"

  He took the helm himself, urging the sails to their fullest, heading towards the Mafia's headquarters!
