Chapter 1673 Rain Woman Saves the Island
Fortunately, the sudden mega-explosion on the edge of the Sabaody Archipelago occurred in a remote area on the outermost edge of the archipelago.
The scale of the explosion was truly terrifying. The towering flames and billowing smoke devoured several islands near the blast site like a giant beast, and continued to sweep outwards with violent shockwaves and heat waves.
The residents of the more distant islands were now gripped by utter panic.
Screams, cries, and desperate wails filled the air.
People fled in all directions with their families, like headless flies, and boats crowded the docks; some even jumped into the sea.
Faced with such catastrophic explosive power, how far can an ordinary person escape on foot and in a makeshift boat?
Just as the wave of destruction was about to sweep over more islands, heroes always stepped forward.
"These bastards, fighting on someone else's turf, can't they find another place?!" A cold, angry female voice rang out.
Near the edge of an island in the blast zone, a figure holding a blue umbrella stood on a rooftop—it was Juvia.
She looked up at the billowing, deadly clouds of smoke and fire that blotted out the sun, her beautiful face covered with droplets of water, whether rain or sweat, she couldn't tell.
She loosened her grip on the umbrella handle.
The seemingly ordinary blue umbrella suddenly floated up on its own, its surface instantly transforming into countless crystal-clear raindrops, which then unfolded again under the influence of some force.
The Sabaody Archipelago is located near the sea, and its air and soil are rich in moisture.
At this moment, the umbrella seemed to transform into a tangible black hole, frantically absorbing all available water from its surroundings.
Water vapor in the air condenses into streams, water droplets seep from the ground, and even a faint mist rises from the distant sea, drawn by an invisible force and converging on the suspended umbrella.
The umbrella expanded rapidly as water was poured in, and in the blink of an eye, it became a curtain of water, forming an umbrella shape, covering the sky above several islands.
This water curtain is not a thin layer, but a solid layer, with a blue halo flowing across its surface, like an inverted ocean.
Just as the devastating shockwave and scorching dust were about to engulf the populated area, the enormous water curtain was fully unfurled.
Like a semi-transparent blue giant bowl, it firmly shelters all the unaffected islands and their inhabitants behind it.
boom--! ! !
The shockwave from the explosion slammed violently against the water curtain.
The sheer force of the water, powerful enough to tear apart steel and flatten buildings, caused the thick curtain of water to tremble violently, creating layers upon layers of rapidly spreading ripples on its surface, like a lake being struck by a boulder.
The scorching smoke and splashing molten material slapped against the surface of the water curtain, making hissing sounds as they vaporized and releasing large amounts of white mist.
The water curtain merely shook violently, creating towering waves, yet it remained incredibly resilient, showing no signs of breaking.
The seemingly gentle water flow, under Juvia's exquisite control, displayed incredible defensive power, firmly blocking the deadly impacts, high temperatures, and suffocating smoke from the outside world.
Inside the water curtain, the islanders, still shaken, looked up at the miraculous blue water curtain, watching as the devastating black and red smoke outside was blocked and diverted, and feeling the tremors beneath their feet lessen.
The overwhelming sense of relief at surviving the disaster instantly overwhelmed them. Many people collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way, embracing their loved ones or strangers and weeping, grateful to be alive.
"It's a retainer hired by those gangsters!"
"We're saved! It's all thanks to Lord Juvia's power!"
"That's amazing! Is this the power of Logia-type magic?"
Words of gratitude and amazement spread through the crowd.
The people, who usually feared and dreaded the criminal forces that occupied the island and the powerful men they recruited, were now filled with complex emotions, but mostly with gratitude for their survival.
"Wow, this Logia-type ability is truly amazing." A slightly hoarse voice sounded beside Juvia.
A man with a blade of grass in his mouth appeared out of nowhere; it was Atomic Samurai, one of the retainers hired by the local gang for a hefty sum.
Faced with an explosion of that scale, even with his strong swordsmanship, he was unable to conduct such a large-scale group defense, and could only prioritize protecting key figures and himself.
Almost simultaneously, another figure quietly appeared.
The colorful hair fluttered slightly in the aftershocks of the explosion; it was Sani.
He and Atomic Warrior stood on either side, subtly protecting Juvia, who was doing her best to maintain the water curtain, in the middle.
Their approach was both to provide close protection and to prevent any malicious individuals from attacking Juvia while she was using her abilities, and also out of concern for their companion.
"Then...what is that?!"
Just then, Juvia, who had been focused on maintaining the water curtain and sensing the outside world, suddenly let out a low gasp, her voice trembling slightly.
Atomic Samurai instantly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Sani's magnificent long hair moved without wind, and the strands began to grow longer. The two men entered a state where they could launch an attack at any moment.
Through the swaying, translucent blue water curtain, and beyond that curtain, the billowing smoke and dust, still mingling with firelight and ash, they could vaguely see…
A pair of enormous "eyes" emitting an ominous red light, or rather, huge spots of light like burning lava, lit up deep within the smoke and dust.
Even a fleeting glimpse of that light-filled gaze brought an indescribable sense of oppression; that pure will to destroy made even Juvia, who was used to seeing powerful figures, feel a tremor in her heart.
"Observation Haki... it's not even complete?" Atomic Samurai frowned, his Observation Haki extending outwards as he tried to penetrate the smoke and dust and see the entirety of the behemoth.
However, the feedback was vague and overwhelming; the figure's outline, in perception, resembled a moving mountain.
Its scale was beyond imagination, far exceeding the scope of ordinary giants, and even many super-large sea kings.
"Is this monster... also a power of some kind of Devil Fruit?" Sani's voice also became serious.
His colorful hair, like a peacock spreading its tail, spread slightly behind him, shimmering with various colors, as he entered a state of high alert.
Outside the water curtain, smoke and dust continued to churn.
Those terrifying red "eyes" moved slowly, as if scrutinizing the land ravaged by its birth, and the tiny creatures behind the water curtain.
The terrifying pressure emanating from just a blurry outline and a pair of eyes was enough to make the three gang leaders feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
This is no ordinary enemy that can be dealt with in a battle. I wonder how the Five Elders, who initiated the war, are doing.
