When a truly "weird" scene shows up in front of someone's eyes.
No matter if that person is just an average person, a Marine, a pirate, or even the Four Emperors [Beasts] Kaido, they will feel a little bit of "fear" in their hearts for a moment.
That feeling can't be overcome with willpower alone.
It's a fear that comes from "breaking people's common sense about the world."
…
Let's use an example.
If people see a giant walking around on the street, they might watch him or get used to it.
Because the existence of "giants" is already part of this world. Even if people haven't seen a giant before, they will at most be curious and go to watch.
It's the same for a giant, and probably the same for a giant who is unusually tall.
If there really is a giant who is hundreds of meters tall, sitting at the foot of a mountain, humming a song and drinking alcohol.
People who see this might be scared, but that's just because they are afraid of the giant's "size."
Because even this kind of being, in people's common sense, still has the "possibility" of existing.
But what if something completely breaks people's understanding of common sense?
"A giant hundreds of meters tall, slowly swimming in the sea"—this scene is certainly worthy of the viewers' amazement.
But what if it's "a giant skeleton hundreds of meters tall, slowly swimming in the sea?"
Anyone—even the Four Emperors—seeing this would probably have a few drops of cold sweat on their forehead.
That's not a normal thing like "powerful force" or "huge power," but a truly "strange" thing!
…
Right now, this is the scene in front of [Beasts] Kaido!
The giant made of sand had its wrist almost cut off, and its waist was blown apart!
But the sand giant's body itself didn't seem to be affected at all.
Neither positive nor negative effects were shown!
Jin's slash and Kaido's heat breath both caused huge damage to the sand giant.
According to common sense and the look of this move, if this move is really strong, the sand around should directly fill in the sand giant's wounds.
In this way, unless the sand giant or the sand that makes up the sand giant's body is completely destroyed, it's impossible to defeat the sand giant.
This is the "most extreme" possibility that people facing this move can imagine.
A sand giant that can't be defeated unless it's completely destroyed, and whose speed is so fast that even the Four Emperors' officers can't react!
—This kind of move is already powerful enough.
But what Kaido and Jin didn't expect was that the sand floating around didn't fix the sand giant's wounds.
But at the same time, the sand giant wasn't affected by those wounds.
The wrist that was almost cut off can be explained by the fact that the sand giant's body structure is quite stable, so even if only a small part is connected, it can still make sure the body is strong.
But the waist that was destroyed by Kaido's heat breath can't be explained at all!
Now, the sand giant's upper body seems to be floating in the air, there's only air where its waist should be, and its lower body is still standing on the desert. The whole body is still in the same state as it was at the beginning.
This strange scene almost breaks everyone's common sense.
They can't figure out what the sand giant really is!
Is it really something Ryan Rowan created?
Or is the sand giant itself a "weird" thing from Alabasta?
The people who saw this, whether they were Beasts Pirates or members of the Four Seas Alliance, couldn't help but swallow.
The sand giant is just too unusual!
But among them, there was only one… no, only two people, who realized the "essence" of the sand giant.
Those are the two men who have actually fought the sand giant.
[Beasts] Kaido and [Flame Disaster] Jin!
Jin had already been punched away by the sand giant before.
But just one hit, even if it's incredibly powerful, is still not enough to kill one of the Beasts Pirates' top members.
After Jin was punched away, he crashed heavily into the desert in the distance.
From here, you can't even see the port city of Yuca anymore, and you can only see a small head of the sand giant.
He was really punched far away!
Jin endured the pain of his body falling apart, struggling to move his body a few times, and barely got himself back in shape.
Then, he stood up from the desert and found that he had actually smashed a huge pit into the ground, like a meteorite crater!
"Ugh…"
Jin stumbled suddenly, kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.
Jin himself knows his physical abilities very well.
Just one hit, and he was beaten into this state. The sand giant's attack strength was obviously beyond Jin's expectations!
"Huff… Huff…"
Jin breathed heavily, trying to turn into an animal, but found that his body wasn't ready for that yet.
"First… rest for a while, let the captain handle it over there."
Jin thought to himself.
But when he remembered the sand giant, a hint of fear flashed in his heart.
As one of the Beasts Pirates' three top members, Jin realized the truth of the matter the moment he was hit by the sand giant's fist.
At first glance, the sand giant looks like a giant humanoid creature made of sand, but that's not really the case.
In terms of the "complexity" of the ability, the natural type devil fruit is actually the most simple of the three types of devil fruits.
Strictly speaking, natural type devil fruit users don't have the ability to "create things out of thin air."
At most, all they can do is control their "natural ability."
But Ryan Rowan did it.
Not only that, but Ryan Rowan's most famous move is the endless sand soldiers!
Creating living beings?
That's impossible, of course.
All Ryan Rowan can do is "control sand"!
And in fact, whether it's the sand soldiers or the current sand giant, Rowan is just "controlling sand"!
Controlling each grain of sand one by one.
Making them change into the shape of a "giant."
Each grain of sand is an independent individual!
In this way, even if a part of the sand is badly damaged or completely turned to ashes, it won't affect the other sand at all!
The strange appearance of the sand giant, with its waist missing and its upper and lower body still growing and moving, is born from this!
"This… how is this possible?"
Jin couldn't help but shrink his pupils, muttering to himself.
How many grains of sand is that?
Each one controlled separately?
How much effort does that take?!
"Can the human brain do something like this?"
…
Answering Jin was a series of gloomy laughs.
"Hehehehehe…"
Around Jin, sandstorms began to rise.
