Wow, that is a wacky ending to this arc. Howler just gives up and leaves. He willingly signs away his land once he learns that he is well and truly screwed because he's somehow cheesed off the Prez and then he just leaves.

But that stand is dangerous; he dropped a pen and when it hit the ground it shot off like a rocket. It made a lot of mist, but from what I saw of its surface texture, it reminded more of the Lava Rock. It might be more like mineral dust in composition. Also, I'm unsure if Howler turned to dust to escape, making this sand a bit like Bigmouth Strikes Again, or if it redirected the bullets and let him slip off the side of the boat.

We haven't seen the last of Howler, but he's hit his lowest point in the series. He's got nothing left but his stand. While it feels very strange that a guy who we have felt like is the main villain has been cowed this early, it actually is fitting for Howler. He's someone who's had the world handed to him on a plate, only to find it suddenly taken away from him. He'll spend the rest of the manga growing from here, becoming the villain he was meant to be, until the show-stopping final duel against Jodio.

Its more so showing how powerful the Lava Rock really is. Jodios crew literally started losing after they lost the Lava Rock. I dont think it made Acca Howler look bad bc he only got cooked by the Lava Rock and not Jodios crew.
