When the smoke and dust cleared, a ten-meter-tall image of the God of Thunder was revealed on the battlefield.
⚡200,000,000 Volt Amaru⚡
The Thunder God's power isn't limited by this height; ten meters is merely his most concentrated and powerful form.
His speed, attack, defense, and other stats are pushed to their limits in this state.
Even if Kaido shows up, he's confident he can punch a hole right through him.
Purple light blazed as James's Thunder God Avatar materialized over the rock giant. Then, with a cannon-like motion of his wrist, he unleashed a devastating purple thunder blast.
Fast! Too fast!!!
Shiki watched the purple thunder explode in his eyes, time seeming to stop as his entire life played out in his mind.
Overwhelmed by the fierce bombardment, he was unable to react and his rock-giant armor was pierced.
"My era... is over..."
"The sea without Roger... is too boring!"
"Roger!!!"
Overwhelmed by despair, he could only silently scream his frustration. He then fell unconscious.
The suspended islands momentarily appeared unsupported by Shiki, beginning their descent into the ocean.
As the purple light faded and his Thunder God Avatar vanished, James materialized next to Golden Lion Shiki.
With heavy breaths, he fastened the Sea Stone shackles around Golden Lion Shiki.
James understood that while the Sea Stone wouldn't strip ability users of their powers, it would leave them helpless and unable to utilize those powers.
In addition, it can temporarily make the user a normal person.
For instance, when a Devil Fruit user touches Sea Stone, they can't transform, either actively or passively, but the fundamental change to their nature remains.
Consequently, he had to find a way to render the Golden Lion Shiki powerless.
James then used one hand to grab Shiki's bloody head; an electric shock briefly jolted Shiki awake from his coma.
He had to find a way to deal with the Devil Fruit.
With Shiki's revival, the falling islands ceased their descent and resumed floating.
Slowly, Shiki woke up. Despite his desire to speak and open his eyes, he found himself completely paralyzed and unable to control his body.
"Brat... you win!" He silently muttered to himself.
This was undoubtedly James's best work.
He left Shiki in a vegetative state, conscious but paralyzed, by electrically stimulating his acupuncture points.
James calmed himself by taking a deep breath.
The Thunder God State Amaru, achievable only through fruit awakening, had depleted his physical strength, leaving him momentarily weak and breathless. The sounds of his own ragged breathing filled his ears.
Still, wielding that power was quite Satisfying.
The sky in this particular region will be permanently overcast, and the sea will be subject to incessant thunder and lightning from this point forward.
Countless pirate, navy, and merchant vessels will be caught in this stormy sea and ravaged by thunderous storms in the future. He had effectively changed the climate in this region.

James slowed, grasped Shiki by the neck, and with lightning speed, reappeared on the island in the middle.
With the majority of the Golden Lion Shiki's men either killed or critically wounded, a horrifying sight unfolded; several pirates, in a futile attempt at survival, jumped from the 50,000-meter-high island, their screams barely audible before they became tiny specks against the vast sky. The salty tang of blood mingled with the scent of death in the air.
Then, James locked up the pirates in their island jails. His super wide-range observation Haki meant nobody could escape him.
Nami and her companions were stranded on a deserted island by him, covered by a thunder cage that would kill anything, including sea kings, that approached.
The next experiment will determine if he can gain multiple Devil fruit abilities.
Deep down, James understands that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit isn't enough to make him the only True God.
Even with his experience on Earth, he's still unable to do it.
Even without considering the countless mythical Zoan Users, Kizaru's mastery of the Light and his Thunder Fruit creates a stalemate where neither can overcome the other.
To potentially become a multi-fruit ability user, he needs to conduct many experiments on "little white mice".
Trying it on himself is impossible. The body is where the revolution originates. If things don't go as planned, he will face the consequences alone.
He's actually unsure if his White Lightning Spark, used to steal the fruit, is his time-traveling golden finger or a developed Rumble-Rumble Fruit power.
The One Piece world, being idealistic, rewards those with strong hearts and vivid imaginations; their potential is limited only by their strength of spirit and creativity.
Haki's power system is dedicated to elucidating this point, particularly when it comes to the manifestation of Conqueror's Haki.
Maybe he'd already gotten Conqueror's Haki from constantly trying to get all those Devil Fruit powers. Who can say for sure?
Either way, he needs to use this skill to the fullest.
Once he can use multiple Devil fruit powers, it's hunting time!
[Scene Break]
"Cat-Cat Fruit, Dog-Dog Fruit, Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit,..."
James nodded, happy with the outcome.
There are eight Devil fruits in all. He doesn't know every single one. Three trophies and untouched Float-Float fruit in hand, he felt rich.
He used Observation Haki to penetrate the minds of Golden Lion Shiki and his subordinates, then he stole all their treasure—Devil Fruits and all—and took it with him.
Yet, he felt the need to speak to Golden Lion Shiki. 'Shiki, why are you so stubborn? With your vast resources—countless Devil Fruits, fifty pirate captains, and a crew of two thousand—it's surprising you have no ability users. Isn't that kinda crappy?'
Okay, time for the experiment.
With White Lightning Spark clutched in his hand, James and his pirate crew arrived at Shiki's fortress. He got the Dog-Dog Fruit from his stash, and its ability was absorbed by his palm.
The Dog-Dog Fruit lost its ability and became ordinary. Then, the Devil Fruit pattern showed up in a new fruit.
He tried sending the power back, but nothing happened, so he tried putting it in another fruit. It was a breeze, and boom—the fruit turned into a Dog-Dog Fruit.
It seems that the ability that has been absorbed cannot be put back into the original fruit.
Having removed the Dog-Dog Fruit's power from its fruit, James bestowed it upon Pirate No. 1. Everything was normal.
The seastone cuffs didn't faze him! He can still use his abilities!
Throwing him into the sea had no effect. He can still use his abilities!
Working with Pirate One, he quickly realized his White Lightning Spark plundering abilities would remove the weaknesses of other Devil Fruits.
He also discovered Pirate No. 1 couldn't see the White Lightning Spark he held.
