Roa swung Hu Po in his hand.
Whoosh!
White snow flew!
The ground was instantly cut by an invisible force, creating a deep and narrow crack that extended to the end of the snowy plain. At the same time, the crimson lightning wrapped around the blade began to contract inward, and the crimson long blade turned into a glowing red light sword.
"That is!!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the monster descending from the sky. It was impossible not to notice him. The fierce aura descending from the sky directly caused the snow on this vast, snowy plain to tremble and fly.
"Is that the Giant King, Harald?"
Dylan's tone was very serious. "What a powerful Conqueror's Haki! The heavens and the earth are shaking because of it!"
The strongest giant who commanded the strongest country in the world!
A monster that even Rocks was captivated by and regarded as a lifelong best friend!
Now, he had arrived!
"This guy is terrifyingly strong!"
Barrett's eyes were fixed on the monster descending from the sky, and his body was trembling slightly. Of course, this trembling was not from fear, but from uncontrollable excitement! When it came to an enemy, it had to be this strong to be fun!
"Harald! You're finally here!"
Dorry and Brogy, who had been beaten into a sorry state by Harald's good son, couldn't help but cheer. No matter how strong Roa was, as long as Harald made a move, everything would be alright! And the other giants, who were terrified because Loki was sent flying, were now cheering directly.
"Your Majesty Harald! Quickly get rid of this guy!"
Without them urging, a bolt of dark lightning shot up into the sky, directly disturbing the clouds in the sky—or rather, beneath the tree canopy. The starting point of the lightning was a giant sword, held in the hand of the most powerful giant.
"Elbaf's Spear!!"
Roa raised the corner of his mouth. "Protect yourselves well. The scene might get a little big!"
"Yes, Boss!"
The executives on the snail's back responded in unison. At the same time, dark fur grew wildly on Roa's body.
Since Harald was using the immense momentum of his descent from the sky, Roa wasn't going to be arrogant. He immediately entered his beastman state, flapped his wings, and shot up like an inverse meteor. In the next instant, the flying snow was pierced, and two figures, one large and one small, and two sharp blades, one large and one small, collided with a loud bang!
No!
"They didn't touch!!"
Enel exclaimed in disbelief. In the sky, Harald's huge sword, like a mountain, and Roa's light sword, which was as small as a toothpick in front of it, collided in mid-air!
"Here it comes!"
Dylan shouted. "Prepare for the impact!"
Boom!!
In the center of the mid-air collision of the two blades, space was almost twisted, and a dark point was born from it! This black point suddenly jumped! One after another, either dark or crimson lightning exploded out! At the same time, a violent wave of air spread out in an instant.
The flying snow was instantly swept away, and the dark clouds above were directly split open, creating a huge chasm! From this chasm, the dense tree canopy at a higher altitude was exposed and trembled violently! This brought a violent earthquake to the villages of Elbaf on the tree canopy! And the ground below was even more of a mess. The violent shockwave swept away everything on the ground.
The snow that had accumulated for who knows how many years was instantly blown away, and at the same time, even the permafrost buried deep below was directly shattered. A blizzard that devoured everything was thus formed.
"Hah!"
Barrett and Dylan simultaneously pushed their hands forward. The Haki of the two combined to form a huge barrier. But even so, the huge snail was also swallowed by the blizzard. And the giants without any protection were even more unlucky. They were swallowed up at the first moment and were directly blown away. Even powerhouses like Dorry and Brogy were staggered by this terrifying blizzard and had to use their strength to stabilize themselves.
In just a few seconds, the overwhelming blizzard had swallowed everything within a radius of several kilometers. Houses were shattered, trees were broken, snow was flying, and the unlucky animals that had approached were instantly gone in the storm.
"Whoa! Did we go a little too far?"
Roa flapped his wings, stabilizing his backward-flying body. He smiled as he looked down at the scene below. The blizzard was like a huge circle, expanding majestically in all directions, wantonly devouring everything in its path.
"But, isn't it spectacular? Harald, what do you think?"
"Brat!!"
Below, on the shattered permafrost, the monster as huge as a small mountain raised its head and looked up at Roa floating in the sky. "Do you have the guts to be so presumptuous in Elbaf because of Rocks!"
Only then did Roa have time to carefully observe the Giant King. Compared to eight years ago, the biggest change was that he was almost completely bald, which made him look a little more ferocious. While observing, he said with great interest, "Presumptuous? What do you mean by that?"
"Harald, you are the captain's friend, so you are my friend. I came here to talk business with a friend, but I didn't expect to be treated like this." Roa sighed. "They say the giants are warm and hospitable. It's really disappointing."
"Friend? If you're a true friend, Elbaf will naturally give them the warmest welcome!" Harald's voice was cold. "But you stinking brat, we both know what your purpose is! Don't pretend anymore!"
"Don't say that. I really came here with full sincerity to seek cooperation," Roa said with a hint of helplessness. "For this, I even specially brought back the giant heroes who have been missing for seventy years."
With that, he raised his voice. "Hey, Dorry, Brogy, you've eaten so much of my stuff, it's time to say a few words for me!"
Two tall snow piles not far from Harald suddenly exploded, and two chubby giants stood up.
"Harald! Long time no see!"
Looking at the two giants, who were completely out of shape and looked very disheveled at this moment, Harald was truly stunned. After looking at them carefully for several seconds, he said with some uncertainty, "Brogy? Dorry? Is that really you?"
"Of course it's us!"
Dorry laughed. "It's been more than seventy years, brother!"
"Weren't you two in a duel?"
Harald was very puzzled. "How did you get so fat?"
"Well—"
Brogy was a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that because they couldn't beat Roa, they wanted to get revenge by eating all of his food, which resulted in them getting so fat.
"But, did this kid really bring you back?" Harald asked.
"Yes! He suddenly appeared and said he wanted to talk business with Elbaf and that he wanted our help, so he brought us back!" Dorry's expression became serious. "But Harald, what is his background?"
"This kid?"
Harald raised his head and looked up at Roa again. "He's the successor of the craziest pirate on the sea and is now the craziest pirate on the sea!"
"He and a group of pirates killed the Marine Fleet Admiral and forced the World Government to give up the New World! Now that group of people have divided the entire New World, and this sea area where Elbaf is located is, not surprisingly, the territory he has chosen!"
"What!?"
Dorry and Brogy were both dumbfounded.
Killing a Marine Fleet Admiral.
Forcing the World Government to give up the New World.
And even dividing the New World.
Are those even human words?
Are the contemporary pirates this wild?
To be honest, if Elbaf wasn't a part of the division, they would have applauded Roa.
However, it was a bit too exaggerated for a teenage boy to achieve this level.
"In short, this guy is coming for Elbaf!"
Harald's voice was solemn. "Dorry, Brogy, you came back at the right time! Let's fight side by side with me again after a long time!"
"Although I don't know how crazy the pirates on the sea are now, but," Dorry raised the corner of his mouth, "if you need our strength,"
"Then just use it! Brother!"
Brogy laughed loudly.
Then, the two also raised their heads, their eyes fixed on Roa.
"Oi! How can you do that?"
Roa seemed very annoyed. "It's not good to repay kindness with ingratitude, is it? Wouldn't that make me look like a fool for shooting myself in the foot?"
This was also what Harald couldn't figure out. Did this brat really think that if he brought Dorry and Brogy back, they would help him persuade himself?
"Father!"
Before Harald could figure it out, Loki, who had just been sent flying by Roa, came hobbling back from behind. "And me! I want to fight alongside you too!"
"Loki, are you alright?"
Harald looked back with some concern, especially after seeing the blood flowing from his youngest son's mouth, he became even more annoyed.
"I'm fine! I can join the fight at any time!"
Loki was more respectful to his father than Roa had imagined. He patted his chest and responded loudly—even though this action aggravated the injuries Roa had inflicted on him, causing his cheeks to twitch. He was still as stubborn as he was eight years ago.
"Good! Then let's go, Loki!"
Harald bent down and patted Loki's shoulder. "Then let us father and son fight side by side!"
Loki's face instantly broke into a brilliant smile. Could that weakling Hajrudin do something like fighting side by side with his father?
"You want to use numbers to bully one person?"
Roa looked a little troubled. "Luckily, I have a lot of people too."
Below, the huge snail, which was pushed back by the shockwave just now, rumbled back. On the back of the giant snail, Barrett, Dylan, Moria, Teach, Doflamingo, Bege, Enel, and others were ready for battle. Behind them were the four-colored warriors who were missing the electric blue one.
And there was more.
In the sky, a dark figure suddenly flew over, like a black line soaring across the sky.
"Boss! I'm not too late, am I!"
King, who had flown back from the sky island a long way and looked a bit haggard, flew to Roa's back. He hovered in the air and said respectfully.
"You're not early, you're not late, you're just on time!"
Roa raised the corner of his mouth.
Although it wouldn't affect the victory whether he came back or not, having more people added to the momentum.
"Be careful!"
Harald looked at the giant snail and then looked up at King behind Roa. "The executives under this guy are also extraordinarily strong! Don't let your guard down!"
"Understood!"
Dorry and Brogy both took out their weapons, which had become very dull after clashing for seventy years, and nodded hard.
Then.
"But, do you really want to fight?"
Roa said with great interest. "If we really fight, I won't show any mercy."
"Do I look like I need your mercy?"
Harald pointed his long sword directly at Roa. "Bring it on, you damn brat!"
"If you insist, then I won't hold back."
Roa chuckled. "But, don't you think it's a little too dark here? Fighting here would only make people feel depressed. How about some light?"
Light?
Harald was stunned.
Then, light suddenly came from above.
Harald's face changed drastically, and he looked up in disbelief. Above, the clouds had already been split open by the clash of the two just now, exposing the branches and tree canopy above.
And at this moment, on a huge branch above, a raging flame was burning. The fierce fire was already spreading to both sides of the branch. One side was the treetop, and the other side was the huge trunk of the Treasure Tree Adam!
"What!!"
Harald's eyes were about to burst out of their sockets.
This Treasure Tree Adam was too old!
Every time a fire broke out, it was a huge disaster for this country!
"Harald! I almost forgot!!"
Dorry finally remembered this, and his face changed drastically, filled with panic. "This guy's ability is very unusual! He can freely control lightning and fire!!"
"That's right!"
Brogy also remembered this, his face equally contorted. "He once threatened to burn down the Treasure Tree Adam to threaten us!"
And now, it wasn't a threat!
"That's why I told you two to help me persuade Harald well. Why didn't you listen?" Lu Jingming said with a sigh. "In the end, you completely threw my words to the back of your mind. What can I do?"
"Stop! Roa!"
Harald roared in a rage, slashing his sword directly at Roa. "What do you want to do to this country!"
"You completely misunderstand something, Harald,"
Roa calmly flapped his wings and pulled away. With a casual snap of his fingers, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck the huge trunk in the distance, which seemed to hold up the sky.
Boom!
Even from such a far distance, the rising flames were clearly visible to everyone.
"I said I came with good intentions, so if you refuse these good intentions, all that's left is malice."
Harald's veins bulged on his forehead, and a violent aura spread out from his body like a giant wave. But it was meaningless to Roa. He just quietly looked down at Harald. "Giant King, there's something else you should understand. The reason you were able to refuse the captain back then was simply because the kind and naive captain considered you a friend and didn't want to force you."
"But you're not willing to be my friend, so I can only use some extreme measures."
Roa said leisurely, "Harald, Elbaf has reached a crossroads of destiny! Survival or destruction, what is your answer?"
That's why invincible people are invincible people. If someone were to threaten him with the Germa Kingdom or his subordinates, Roa would guarantee that he wouldn't even blink. But Harald, this benevolent king, was different.
"..."
Harald's teeth were almost ground to dust, and his facial muscles twitched constantly. Even in this freezing environment, large beads of sweat rolled down his face.
Beside him, Loki looked at his father's back in a daze, and then looked up at Roa in a daze. And Dorry and Brogy also gritted their teeth.
Roa!!
What a despicable man!
No wonder he didn't care about their betrayal at all!
And then.
Harald's aura suddenly dropped, and a third of his spirit and energy were gone. He looked more than ten years older in an instant. "Roa, what do you want?"
He had admitted defeat.
But even so, his tone was still filled with righteous indignation. "Don't get greedy! Otherwise, even if we have to risk all of Elbaf, we will fight you to the death!"
The corners of Roa's mouth lifted.
It was as simple as that.
The captain and Auntie Linlin were thinking too complicatedly.
"I already said that I came here for a cooperation that is good for both sides!"
Roa said with a smile. "But before that, Harald,"
"Let's have a fight."
"What?"
Harald was truly stunned. He had already admitted defeat, and he still wanted to fight?
"Are you serious?"
He was a little suspicious. "I won't show any mercy!"
"That's exactly what I want!"
Roa said with a smile.
Observation Haki Future Sight, I'm counting on you, Harald.
Let my Observation Haki sublimate again and reach a higher realm!
