After years of training and countless battles, Daren, who had already developed the Jiki Jiki no Mi to its fullest potential, finally succeeded in reaching this realm!
The Devil Fruit... has awakened!
Unlike the "external development" approach commonly practiced across the sea, Daren, prompted by Michael's casual "reminder," chose to shift the development of the Jiki Jiki no Mi from affecting the external world to manipulating the magnetic field within his own body.
Since the Jiki Jiki no Mi granted him the ability to manipulate magnetic fields within a certain range, didn't that mean he could also use it to control the magnetic fields inside himself?
After all, the human body naturally possesses a biological magnetic field—albeit far weaker than the external magnetic fields capable of moving metal.
More importantly, Daren had previously conducted experiments on human bio-magnetic fields while stationed in North Blue. He once applied a controlled magnetic field to the body to enhance its recovery.
But back then, his physical strength and control over the Jiki Jiki no Mi were too limited. He didn't dare to force internal magnetic circulation, fearing that if his body couldn't handle the violent magnetic energy, it could literally explode on the spot.
Now, however, with the "Indestructible Body" as his deepest foundation, and the Jiki Jiki no Mi nearing full awakening...
Daren finally had the capital to "risk death"!
By rotating the magnetic field within his body, he could force his cells into overdrive. Both energy consumption and output would spike dramatically beyond normal levels.
To put it simply, by spinning the internal magnetic field, he placed immense pressure and stimulation on his body—forcing it to erupt with even more powerful strength!
This was the brand-new awakened ability Daren had developed by forging his own path...
"Magnetic Field Rotation"!!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!"
In that moment—
As purple arcs of magnetic energy surged unstoppably across his skin, waves of near-death dread surged from deep within his brain...
Daren's entire body trembled violently as he felt an overwhelming power erupting from within.
The Jiki Jiki no Mi was forcibly altering his internal magnetic field, rotating it at a fixed high speed. His heart, muscles, nerves, and other organs roared like engines firing at full power!
"Rotate, damn it!!"
Daren bellowed, eyes bulging wide. Even his skin began to emit a faint red glow, as though his muscles, nerves, organs, and even his cells were set ablaze—unleashing a godlike and terrifying aura.
Michael's face twisted in disbelief.
With his Observation Haki, he could clearly sense the "insect" before him was emanating an aura that surged upward at a pace visible to the naked eye!
This wasn't an enhancement of Armament Haki or even Conqueror's Haki...
This was something far more fundamental—an evolution and awakening of raw physical potential!
His very life force... was rising!
And with his natural perception abilities, Daren could clearly feel the moment he activated "Magnetic Field Rotation", his body's stats began changing once again!
Physique +0.033, Physique +0.036, Physique +0.032...
Strength +0.085, Strength +0.079, Strength +0.094...
Speed +0.03, Speed +0.03, Speed +0.03...
Physique represented the durability and toughness of flesh, regenerative ability, and immune resistance.
Strength measured raw explosive power and physical might.
Speed governed nervous response, flexibility, and sensory acuity.
These three fundamental stats were all receiving massive boosts—rising and stacking without pause!
As this surging power continued to climb, Michael's eyes trembled violently. He let out a muffled grunt as blood leaked from the corners of his mouth.
Crack!
The curve in his Western sword grew increasingly pronounced. The invisible armor formed by Armament Haki seemed no longer able to bear the inhuman force pressing down on it...
A fracturing sound rang out—the blade strained, unable to endure.
"This can't be!!"
Michael gritted his teeth, both hands pressing down hard on the bent Western sword. His eyes were bloodshot, veins crawling across his sclera as he growled, trying desperately to hold back Daren's punch.
Boom!
He roared hysterically, unleashing every ounce of strength in his body. The black flame-like aura around his neck quivered violently, and his clawed feet dug deep into the earth below.
"I am the Frostshadow Silver Wolf—the most mysterious and elegant form of the Mythical Zoan... I'm the strongest!"
"You're just a bug... there's no way you can stand up to my power!"
"—Is that so?"
Daren burst into a wild, unrestrained laugh. Blood seeped from his nose and mouth, dark red and viscous, as the overloaded magnetic field within his body pushed him to his limits with unbearable pressure and pain.
But he didn't care in the slightest.
His twisted grin bordered on madness, fully immersed in the thrill of breaking past his limits. His magnetic field roared and churned, his bloodshot eyes burning with unrelenting fighting spirit.
Rip!
The sleeve on his right arm suddenly tore apart. As the shredded cloth scattered, bulging muscles—twisting like giant pythons—swelled across his arm. Bursts of white steam erupted like jet engines from his body.
Magnetic Field Rotation: Giant's Body—Explosion!
Strength stat... 99.999!!
Like a meteor crashing straight through, Daren's fist surged forward with explosive force—shattering Michael's Western sword with a thunderous smash!
Crack!
Countless fragments flew into the air. The silver-haired Celestial Dragon's pupils shrank to pinpoints, as thin as needles.
"I'm using nearly maxed-out strength—what the hell are you going to block that with!?"
With a beast-like roar, the black-haired youth's brutal punch crashed into the Celestial Dragon's arms like an avalanche.
Bang!!
A shockwave erupted. The silver-furred werewolf's expression froze on the spot. His body bent backward like a boiled shrimp—then launched away like a cannonball.
He was sent flying for several kilometers, smashing through towering trees and small hills along the way, before crashing deep into the side of a massive mountain in the heart of the island.
Boom!
A shockwave soared skyward. Dust and debris roared like a dragon unleashed.
The commotion was so massive that Dragon, who had just taken down one of the CP0 agents, paused mid-motion. His head snapped toward Daren's direction, eyes narrowing.
Whatever he saw made him draw in a sharp breath.
Before the black-haired youth,a massive ravine split the land open—stretching from beneath Daren's feet all the way into the distant mountain range deep within the island...
