In this world, the strongest Conqueror's Haki belonged to the future Red-Haired Shanks. The strongest Observation Haki was wielded by the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. The most durable physique was that of Kaido, the King of the Beasts. The most potent attack belonged to Whitebeard. The strongest Busoshoku Haki was Garp's, and the fastest speed was Kizaru's.

Every powerhouse in this vast sea possessed some weakness, however minor. Whitebeard, with his unparalleled offensive might, lacked exceptional defenses.

His speed was also lacking. Gol D. Roger, with his unmatched Observation Haki, was incredibly fast and skilled with a sword, but his Busoshoku Haki was not the world strongest.

Crocodile, with his Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit, possessed remarkable survivability, unless faced with a water-based opponent.

Ian, however, possessed almost no weaknesses. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was a versatile ability, granting him speed rivaling the Glint-Glint and Wind-Wind Fruits.

His attack power matched the Flame-Flame and Magma-Magma Fruits, with the added advantages of freezing, paralysis, and various other properties, such as explosive force, sharpness, and vibrations. His defenses, augmented by Busoshoku Haki and Hierro, were incredibly tough. In terms of both strength and speed,

He was practically flawless. Even among the Espada, each specialized in either speed, attack, or defense. Ulquiorra's abilities were inherently well-balanced.

Now, with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Explosion-Explosion and Kilo-Kilo Fruits, Paramecia-types that mirrored the abilities of the Flame-Flame and Tremor-Tremor Fruits, he had set his sights on Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit and Daz Bones' Dice-Dice Fruit. He was steadily approaching the pinnacle of power.

Most individuals struggled to master even a single ability, let alone two. But Ian wasn't satisfied with proficiency. He sought to achieve mastery in all aspects of combat.

Jack of all trades, master of none? But if one achieved mastery in all trades, they would become a truly formidable force, shaking the world to its core.

Ian's gaze was fixated on Crocodile, his mind already envisioning a future confrontation with Whitebeard, a clash of titans, where he would unleash his full power, only to be crushed before the might of the world's strongest man. Their encounter was inevitable.

"Come forth, Black-Winged Demon! Unleash your true power!" Crocodile's voice boomed from within the colossal sand giant's head.

"Such a weakling doesn't deserve my Resurrección!"

Crackle, crackle! As Ian's words echoed, a torrent of lightning erupted, engulfing his entire being in a blinding white and blue aura. His body began to expand, growing larger and more imposing with each passing moment.

As the lightning converged inward, absorbed into his very essence, Ian's figure had grown several times larger. He was bathed in a shimmering white and blue aura, a true god of thunder descended upon the mortal realm.

"200 Million Volt... Raimei!" He roared, three large drums strapped to his back.

"A giant? I can do that too!"
