Borsalino's light sword was called Light Emperor.
Borsalino knew very well that within the Heaven-and-Earth Losing Color domain, his abilities were heavily suppressed and difficult to fully unleash.
However, he also knew that his speed was fast enough. Even Rosinante found it hard to completely prevent him from leaving the domain. So instead of forcing close combat, he developed an ultra long-range attack.
Light Emperor was created based on the Ama no Murakumo Sword. By compressing an enormous amount of light into a gigantic Ama no Murakumo blade, it formed the Light Emperor. It could be controlled for close-range combat, or fired like a cannon shell for long-range attacks.
Because the Light Emperor compressed terrifying amounts of light energy, and could be launched at near-light speed, both its speed and destructive power were beyond imagination. Once hit, the result would be devastation on the scale of an entire city.
And because its firing speed approached that of light itself, dodging it was nearly impossible.
As for Kuzan, the technique he was using was called the Absolute Zero Domain, an evolution of Ice Age.
Originally, Ice Age was a wide-area technique. Kuzan compressed its freezing power into a space of just ten meters. Within those ten meters, it became his freezing domain.
Inside this domain, not only the ground was frozen. Even the air itself, the entire space within ten meters, was reduced to an absolute zero state.
Thus, the Absolute Zero Domain was formed. Moreover, this ability could be further compressed. If Kuzan were to condense all that absolute zero onto his own body, he would become a living source of absolute zero. At that point, his freezing power would reach an almost inconceivable level. It might even be able to freeze the sun. Of course, he could not do that yet.
Among the three, Sakazuki's ability development was by far the most difficult.
Although the Magma Fruit possessed overwhelming destructive power, its potential for further development was actually quite limited.
And what could be developed, Sakazuki had already pushed almost to the extreme. If he wanted to go further, the difficulty increased exponentially.
In order to develop new power, Sakazuki once spent an entire year observing a massive active volcano, even diving into its deepest depths.
Relying on sheer determination, he finally developed the ability of the Magma Giant.
At first glance, the Magma Giant seemed simple. Just a massive humanoid form created from magma.
But inside that enormous magma body were countless active volcanoes, each ready to erupt at any moment.
This was not a mere magma giant at all. It was a collection of volcanoes, filled with nothing but destruction.
Whether it attacked others, or others attacked it, the result would be the same. Volcanoes erupting, explosions detonating, devastation everywhere.
As the dangerous auras surrounding the three Admirals grew stronger and stronger, Rosinante's expression finally became serious.
Even he had not expected Sakazuki and the others to have improved this much, each of them developing such terrifying abilities.
Taking a deep breath, Rosinante suddenly drew back all of the Eternal Silence intent. The Heaven-and-Earth Losing Color domain vanished.
When he slowly exhaled, the aura around him changed completely.
It was not that he became more terrifying or overwhelming.
On the contrary, Rosinante now seemed utterly ordinary.
There was no aura, no pressure, no imposing presence at all. He looked just like a normal person. Like a young man selling fruit at a street stall, or an ordinary passerby on the road. There was nothing about him that resembled a powerful expert, and nothing of the grandeur of a Conqueror.
…
Seeing this change in Rosinante, even Sakazuki showed a look of surprise. The surrounding Marine officers were equally stunned.
Only Sengoku and Garp grew even more serious.
"Returning to simplicity. I never imagined Rosinante had already reached this level," Garp said gravely.
"What a monstrous brat. We kept raising our estimation of him, yet it still wasn't enough," Sengoku said, his brows tightly furrowed. "To think a pirate could reach such a realm. In terms of talent, perhaps only the Pirate King Roger could be compared to him."
"Roger only gradually grasped this realm after reaching the Sovereign's Domain," Garp said. "But Rosinante stepped directly into it. In that regard, even Roger fell short."
"Dragon King Rosinante is someone who must be overestimated again and again," Sengoku said slowly. "If he truly breaks through to the level of a peak Admiral, he might become another Roger."
At that, Sengoku and Garp exchanged a look, both wearing solemn expressions.
The first to attack was Sakazuki.
"Die!"
A thunderous roar erupted from within the magma colossus. The Magma Giant raised its enormous palm and slammed it toward Rosinante's position.
As the palm descended, countless volcanoes within its arm and fist erupted violently, explosions chaining together and unleashing infinite power.
If that palm struck him, what awaited Rosinante would be endless destruction and relentless explosions.
