The dust explosion came so suddenly that if Shanks and Benn Beckman both doesn’t have Future Vision, they wouldn’t even have a chance to react.
At the same time, if El wants to use the dust explosion to hurt these two people who have reached their peak, then that is only simply a whimsical thing.
So El made this kind of change, naturally, it is impossible to use the limitation on their vision to consume their stamina and the dust explosion to consume their Haki. In fact, neither the limitation on their vision nor the sudden dust explosion mattered to Shanks and Benn Beckman’s with their strength.
The main purpose is those dust particles, the ability of the Float-Float Fruit is to control all non-living things, but these non-living only include tangible things.
Whether it is Shiki or the El, their devil fruit ability cannot control intangible things.
Even so, El also got inspiration from Shiki controlling the blizzard with his devil fruit ability in the theatrical version, the Strong World.
Since Shiki can even control snowflakes, then that means that the Float-Float Fruit’s ability can also control dust particles that are extremely small but still tangible things.
The dust that enveloped the entire island is actually under El’s devil fruit ability and since Shanks coughed without even finishing his word, then it means that the dust particles he inhaled are at a very alarming amount.
That is to say, whether it is Shanks or Benn Beckman, there are a lot of dust particles covered with Float-Float Fruit ability in their bodies.
Although the ability of the Float-Float Fruit cannot work on living things, however, if a living being inhales an inanimate object under the Float-Float Fruit ability, El can still control those inanimate objects in the living being’s body, that’s El’s true purpose.
When the explosion spread on the entire island and the dazzling fire that tears the darkness is about to drown Shanks and Benn Beckman, they had already made preparations to use Haki in advance for defense when they saw this scene in the future vision.
At this time, El, who was also in the range of the explosion, held his sword in one hand while he stretch out his other hand toward Shanks and Benn Beckman before clenching his fist hard.
In an instant, Shanks and Benn Beckman’s pupils shrunk instantly and they felt a heart-wrenching pain that cause the invisible shield they had just created to disappear suddenly.
When they saw that the fire approaching them at a very fast speed, they endured their pain and once again used their haki to create an invisible shield but it was already too late, it was this delay that made them pay a lot of prices.
For this chance, El is even more guarded about the appearance of a mistake, so he did not choose to retreat, but to face and endure this explosion with Shanks and Benn Beckman.
The terrifying dust explosion is a continuous explosion, but it still destroys the earth wall in an instant.
After a while, an incomparably huge mushroom cloud rose up from the island that even those several islands closest to them can see a mushroom cloud that covers the sky and the sun.
Looking at the astonishing mushroom cloud, those who were at ease and thought they had escaped the catastrophe were nervous again and they could not help but look at the blue sky once again for the fear that it would turn red again in the next second, with one or two meteors falling.
The huge mushroom cloud lasted for a long time before slowly dissipating.
The scene returns to the place where the explosion happen, at this time, the island that is filled with mountains, rivers, trees, and beasts, has now become a deserted island with nothing, even the barren ground were now full of cracks.
There are only three living beings left on the island and those three are naturally El and Shanks, and Benn Beckman.
However, the state of these people is particularly embarrassing at this time, El who made this explosion, his black robe and trousers have become tattered while his smooth and tender skin on his back is mutilated and with no place not dripping with blood.
Even El, someone born with a strong physique and Life Return (Seimei Kikan) that have automatic defense has his back blown to pieces while suffering a lot of injuries.
From this, it can be assumed that Shanks and Benn Beckman as ordinary people while their defenses are a bit slower at the most critical time, they will definitely not be safe, and will definitely suffer more serious injury than El.
The current situation of Shanks and Benn Beckman is so bad and like El, their clothes were blown to tatters.
On Shank, even more part of his body was mutilated and many places were dripping with blood, even his broken arm bitten by the sea king was also injured. However his much better than Benn Beckman, because Benn Beckman’s injury is even worse, as he has more Haki left than Shanks, he hugged Shanks at a critical moment and helped him resist the next continuous explosion.
On Benn Beckman’s back, there was not a single intact place in sight, and he also became similar to Shanks, as his right arm and shoulder were blown off by the explosion.
That is to say, El’s move to control the dust particles to attack their internal at the critical moment was very successful and made these two powerhouses pay a heavy price.
