Line?
The face behind the black mask frowned slightly.
Even though he was also on the path of the Nadare landslide, his "Shave" speed was enough for him to survive in the Nadare, so he wasn't in a rush to retreat.
And as Rowan said, they were the eyes of the World Government, and they had to see everything with their own eyes.
But now, the black mask couldn't quite understand the "thing" in front of him.
A line?
Is it spider silk?
No, impossible.
The information never mentioned the existence of spiders inside Drum Island that could spit out such fine spider silk.
Besides, even if there were, they would have long been scared away by the aftershocks of the battle and the vibrations of the Nadare.
So, what exactly is that line?
Logically speaking, a line of this thickness should be blown all over the place by the strong winds of the foothills, but the line is currently swaying slowly in a stable manner and angle.
This defies common sense, so that line is definitely not a natural product.
Is it a Devil Fruit ability?
The black mask narrowed his eyes and leaned forward slightly.
He didn't dare to touch it easily, so he could only try to observe from a distance.
With his dynamic vision honed through years of training, the black mask quickly saw the material of the line, and the fact that fell into his eyes made his pupils shrink sharply.
"How is this possible?"
That was a fine line made of sand.
Very thin.
If you don't look closely, you can't even notice its existence.
Because that line is made of grains of sand connected one after another!
These grains of sand have been artificially connected together, one after another, and after connecting countless grains, it finally became such a fine line of sand with an unknown end.
As for the front end, it's located on the tip of the spear in Rowan's hand.
And in the next second, the black mask saw even more shocking things from it.
Those grains of sand are not simply arranged in a line, the front and rear connections of each grain of sand are seamless, and no gaps can be seen with the naked eye!
Sand - mostly formed from the weathering and decomposition of rocks.
Now, those grains of sand have been artificially rearranged and combined to form a "complete" fine line of rock!
But if that's all, then it's just a super long and super thin cylinder, how can it float in the wind like a line?
The answer lies in the medium connecting these grains of sand.
The black mask recognized what that was -
Conqueror's Haki.
Conqueror's Haki that is delicate to the extreme, yet simultaneously considers massive characteristics!
Among the people present, only one person can do this.
The eyes behind the black mask looked at Ryan Rowan, revealing a slightly uneasy light.
The situation seems a little strange.
Combined with what Rowan just said -
"Since it's 'deterrence,' then the other party should feel afraid or scared, right?"
This is a battle of mutual deterrence, not a life-and-death battle.
Although that impulsive idiot almost broke this situation, but according to Rowan's words, the other party obviously has no intention of tearing up the agreement.
But not wanting to tear up the agreement doesn't mean not getting serious.
The World Government is using the latest weapon developed by Vegapunk, which can infuse the abilities of natural-type Devil Fruits into it, becoming "ammunition."
Once activated, that terrifying power would be absolutely devastating to the ordinary people of a country!
This is the power that the World Government is showing to Rowan, meaning that we have the ability to destroy your country at the level of force.
So, how does [Golden Dawn] plan to return the favor? What does he plan to tell the World Government?
The black mask's eyes moved slightly.
Use that line?
The black mask couldn't understand.
What can that line, which is only the thickness of a single grain of sand and condensed by Conqueror's Haki, do?
Rowan noticed the confused look in the black mask's eyes and slowly said:
"Have you ever used a sword?"
The black mask didn't understand why Rowan was asking this, but he still nodded.
Rowan continued, "When I first used a sword, a strange question popped into my head - when a sword cuts someone, what is it using?"
The black mask thought this question was a bit idiotic and subconsciously replied, "Using the blade."
Rowan asked, "How do you use it?"
The black mask thought this question was even more idiotic, "Using the sharp blade, you can cut open a person's skin, that thin layer is enough to be fatal!"
Rowan nodded, "In that case, the body of the sword, the handle, the guard, the back of the sword, these parts seem a bit superfluous, don't they?"
The black mask immediately laughed, "Without those parts, how could there be a blade!"
The part that loses the whole is no longer a part.
But Rowan's answer made his smile freeze.
"No, it's possible."
The fine line emanating from the tip of the spear slowly fell to the ground and disappeared into the snow.
Under the wrapping of Conqueror's Haki, they will not be temporarily wetted by the snowflakes.
That line extended for a very, very long distance, so long that you couldn't see the end.
Rowan slowly said, "I don't use a sword, but one day I suddenly thought that I could actually just use the 'blade'."
"Huh?" The black mask was stunned.
A grain of sand floated in front of his eyes, and Rowan's voice reached his ears.
"If individual tiny grains of sand are arranged in a row to form a 'blade' alone, then can they also be sharp enough?"
Hearing this, a guess suddenly appeared in the black mask's heart, and this guess made him shudder.
Perhaps... he had been wrong from the beginning.
That's not a line, but a pure "blade," leaving only the sharp part, without a single superfluous burden.
A blade made of grains of sand, its length can even run through the entire Drum Island!
Swish...
This conjecture made a long-lost cold sweat flow down the black mask's forehead.
The black mask observed quickly, and the conversation with Rowan was even faster, but this conversation still took about fifteen seconds.
Only five seconds left.
The Nadare has arrived, and that CP0 who had murderous intent has also come to Rowan!
In an instant, the black mask recovered from his stunned state and quickly reached out to stop him, shouting at the same time:
"Idiot, run!"
But it was a little late for him to say this.
The impulsive CP0 has already stepped forward and slashed at Rowan with his two swords.
Behind him is the roaring giant Nadare.
Rowan looked at this scene and sighed softly.
Then, his body didn't move, the hand holding the spear suddenly turned in a circle, along with the tip of the spear, drawing a beautiful "circle" in the air.
Swish...
As a matter of course, the fine line connected to the tip of the spear also followed Rowan's movements and turned in a circle in this world.
Spinning the spear with one hand -
A very simple action, even a little kid in the honor guard can do it.
It's really simple.
...
The black mask will never forget that mission, and will never forget that day.
That day.
[Golden Dawn] Ryan Rowan drew a "line" on Drum Island.
A long, long line.
...
As a result, Drum Island was divided into two by a line that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
