...

On the outskirts of Whole Cake Island...

The sky erupted in a furious tempest of thunder and lightning. A face materialized amidst the churning white clouds, only to be swallowed by an encroaching darkness.

Thunderbolts crackled and roared, while on the opposite horizon, crimson clouds, like a miniature sun, spiraled downwards, unleashing a torrent of flames. Fire and lightning intertwined, hurtling towards the earth.

A sea of pirates, alongside an army of animated trees and vegetation, surged towards Ian, their diverse powers unleashed in a chaotic barrage of attacks.

A kaleidoscope of light and energy filled the air, a testament to the sheer variety of Devil Fruit abilities. They hesitated not, unleashing their full fury upon their lone adversary.

Among them were Perospero's candy creations, Daifuku's genie wielding a massive blade, Katakuri's mochi-infused spiked club, and Smoothie, her powers amplified by Busoshoku Haki, pushing the limits of her Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit.

"Squeeze Break!"

Smoothie, having absorbed the fluids of countless pirates, transformed into a towering giantess, wielding a massive sword. With a mighty swing, she cleaved through the air, aiming for Ian. He watched with amusement, raising his right hand.

The earth beneath him shifted and churned, coalescing into a gigantic hand of sand. Despite Smoothie's immense size, the sand hand easily grasped her, nullifying her devastating strike, a blow that would have cleaved even steel.

"Absorbing liquids? I can do that too."

Ian smiled, activating the power of his Sand-Sand Fruit. Smoothie's eyes widened in terror as she channeled her Busoshoku Haki, coating her body in a protective layer. But the suction force was overwhelming. If her Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit was a faucet, then Ian was a raging torrent, a force of nature.

"Aaah!"

Smoothie's scream echoed across the battlefield as, before the horrified eyes of her comrades, she was drained of her very essence, her once-towering form withering and shrinking. Another Sweet Commander had fallen.

The giant sand hand continued its assault, transforming into a devastating sandstorm, obliterating Daifuku's genie, Perospero's candy creations, and Katakuri's mochi weapon, swallowing them whole.

"Damn it!" Katakuri muttered, his arm trembling slightly, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. He had foreseen this outcome, had tried to intervene, but it was futile. Against Ian's overwhelming power, he felt like an ant attempting to topple a giant tree, his efforts meaningless.

With a wave of his hand, Ian had neutralized Smoothie, then effortlessly repelled the combined assault of Katakuri, Daifuku, and Perospero, his power sweeping across the battlefield, leaving them helpless.

In the world of One Piece, the Yonko reigned supreme. Even the full might of the Marines would approach them with caution, meticulously planning their strategies, daring not to underestimate their power.

Figures like the Sweet Commanders and the All-Stars could hold their own against, and even briefly overpower, Marine Admirals. But against Ian, their strength was meaningless.

"The Heat-Heat Fruit? I've been looking for a fire-based Devil Fruit... Yours will do nicely."

Oven's Heat-Heat Fruit, while a branch of the Mera Mera no Mi's lineage, possessed the potential for immense destructive power, capable of generating intense heat, explosions, and even slicing through objects with its thermal energy.
