The extreme storm during the Battle of Ed War reduced Golden Lion Shiki's Flying Fleet by more than half.
Even the legendary Great Pirate Golden Lion Shiki was inexplicably stabbed in the head by a wooden ship rudder, causing his strength to drop significantly.
The care this world provides for the Sons of Destiny is too obvious.
An extreme storm saved the Roger Pirates.
In the original timeline, after the Blackbeard Pirates discovered Straw Hat Luffy's bounty, they tried to attack the Straw Hat Pirates on Jaya Island, but a sudden eruption of the Knock Up Stream sent the Straw Hat Pirates up to Sky Island.
The Blackbeard Pirates' pirate ship was torn to shreds, missing the chance to capture the Son of Destiny, Straw Hat Luffy.
Even Golden Lion Shiki in his peak condition could be stabbed in the head by a wooden ship rudder.
Did Golden Lion Shiki lack Armament Haki, or was the hardness of his skull inferior to a piece of wood?
This made Fang Huo suddenly feel immense malice and a sense of crisis.
To avoid any accidents, he decided to protect his women and descendants first.
---
Seeing Fang Huo begin to settle his wife and descendants, Rocks and Newgate immediately grew serious and entered combat mode.
The fact that Fang Huo took such action meant danger had arrived!
"You guys go in too!!"
Fang Huo spoke to those who were slightly weaker, like the Invisible Man and Streusen.
"Vice Captain, what about me? Should I take cover?"
Seeing the heavy atmosphere on the ship, Kiel Bastard panicked slightly, wondering if even his life was in danger.
However, a single glare from Rocks terrified Kiel Bastard.
"I will forever follow the Captain and the Vice Captain and fight until death!!"
Kiel Bastard quickly pledged his loyalty; as Cadres, they joined the Rocks Pirates specifically to fight for the Rocks Pirates.
How could they hide during a moment of danger!
Bolo Gram looked at the dramatically changed attitude of Kiel Bastard and found it very amusing.
He did not believe that an extreme storm could endanger the powerful Rocks Pirates.
He was even looking forward to the upcoming battle or exciting adventure.
"Fang Huo, what's going on?"
Rocks, Newgate, Redfield, and Charlotte Linlin all asked seriously.
Bolo Gram, Kiel Bastard, and Fūgetsu Kisaburō all had serious expressions and prepared for battle.
"The Roger Pirates should be right ahead!"
"However, Gol D. Roger, a member of the D Clan, seems to be the Son of Destiny of this era, carrying some kind of fate. This extreme storm might be protecting their safe departure."
"Everyone, are you interested in fighting against [Fate]!"
As the weaker individuals entered the Lost World, Fang Huo looked at the escalating extreme storm and suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
The Haoshoku on his body erupted wildly, scattering black and red lightning. It resonated with the dark clouds and thunder above, unleashing a heroic aura of 'infinite joy in fighting people, infinite joy in fighting heaven.'
"What? Son of Destiny?"
"Fate?"
"The extreme weather is protecting the Roger Pirates?"
Rocks and the others instantly widened their eyes. If those words hadn't come from Fang Huo,
they would have thought he was talking nonsense!
Damn it!
Does extreme storm weather have consciousness too?
Is this a joke!
This is simply preposterous!
"wahaha! I don't believe in fate!"
"It's just extreme storm weather! Watch me cleave it!!"
A terrifying fighting spirit erupted in Rocks' eyes, even more ferocious than when he faced Harald.
He fiercely drew Saber of Xebec, gathered strength in both hands, and slashed upward toward the extreme weather in the sky.
A terrifying ten-thousand-meter sword energy roared upward, slamming into the raging clouds.
In an instant, a chasm was brutally cleaved through the dark, heavy clouds.
Massive amounts of thunderous dark clouds, following Rocks' sword energy, continuously swept into the chasm crack, making the uncontrolled lightning and gale winds even more violent.
Aboard the Roger Pirates ship, at the edge of the extreme storm.
"Captain!! The sky... the sky split open!!"
The helmsman, Don Quino, screamed in terror. They were at the edge of the extreme weather and hadn't truly felt the danger of the storm yet.
But the sudden splitting of the sky filled them with utter shock!
"Such powerful Haoshoku!!"
Roger also widened his eyes, his Observation Haki intensely sensing that exaggerated Haoshoku pressure.
"Is that something a human can accomplish!!"
Rayleigh tightly gripped his sword. He couldn't believe someone's sword energy could actually cleave the sky open.
"Damn it! Is this the crisis Roger spoke of?"
Jabā felt his scalp tingle. If they encountered a monster like that, they would probably be wiped out with a single slash.
"What are you standing around for!! Run!!"
Rayleigh snapped back to reality and immediately started cursing out the crew members.
This scene was no less terrifying than when the future Straw Hat Pirates saw the ten-thousand-meter giant shadows on Sky Island.
Even Rayleigh and Jabā, two kings who had recently awakened Haoshoku, were frantically rowing their oars, speeding away from this dangerous sea area.
On the contrary, Roger, this fellow, felt somewhat rebellious. The sea and wind urged him to leave, and the terrifying Haoshoku warned him of extreme danger... but deep down, he wanted to witness the monster capable of splitting the sky... However, Rayleigh and Jabā didn't give him the chance to be willful, and the pirate ship accelerated wildly.

On the other side, Rocks' face turned slightly ashen when he saw that his single slash had only cleaved a chasm in the sky but failed to disperse the extreme storm.
The scale of this extreme weather was quite large.
And a bit strange.
"Fighting Fate, huh! Then I'll give it a try too!"
"Quake!!"
Whitebeard Newgate, inspired by Fang Huo's heroic spirit, clenched his right fist and charged furiously, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that shattered space.
The exaggerated destructive power slammed into the extreme cloud layer in the sky.
He felt that fighting against nature was equally thrilling and enjoyable; his Haoshoku became even more magnificent and his aura more heroic.
"Zeus! Prometheus! Napoleon!!"
"Combination Technique: Roaring Light Cannon!!"
Charlotte Linlin directly combined the three major Homies—Thunder Cloud, Sun, and emperor blade Napoleon—and blasted out a dazzling lightning-fire shockwave.
"I hate Fate and Destiny!!"
"This slash shall be called [Fate Severance]!"
Redfield's expression was icy. If this world had no fate or destiny, then there would be no means or abilities to prophesy or glimpse destiny.
If Gu Yue Fang Huo could not prophesy the future, he would not have seen the future and destiny of Patrick Redfield, and the Barlorick Family and Red Soil Island would not have suffered this catastrophe.
He hates Fate! Hates Destiny!!
The future should be unknowable! Unpredictable!
The future should be full of changes and unknowns.
Why must Destiny exist in this world!
He must break all of it!
Redfield unleashed a sky-cleaving strike filled with anger and unwillingness; his Haoshoku was undergoing drastic changes.
