Crocodile was astonished.
It's truly exaggerated.
The forces gathered by the World Government were one thing.
The truly formidable force was on Roa's side.
Shiki the Golden Lion, Kaido, Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Linlin, Patrick Redfield, Teach, Loki—which one wasn't a world-renowned, famous great pirate?
And now, every single one of them was obediently following behind Roa!
The most terrifying thing about Roa the Calamity wasn't his personal power, but the aura that could make so many monsters willingly follow him!
No wonder, twenty years ago, everyone called him the successor to Rocks.
This ability was practically identical to Rocks' back in the day!
No, one should even say that the power Roa had assembled now was already completely incomparable to the original Rocks Pirates, right?
Hmm, though I'm here to watch the excitement, with so many monsters gathered, I must be extremely careful, or I might actually get killed.
Thinking this, Crocodile subtly took two steps back.
"Gwahahaha! Next up is the climax battle!"
"Kill them!"
In the sky, Imu, who was perched upon Pangaea Castle, ordered indifferently
"KILL!"
The Great Wild Boar Warcury roared in anger.
The combined force of Conqueror's Haki and the sonic roar formed a massive shockwave, crushing down on the pirates like an overwhelming tide.
With his roar, the battle was officially declared begun.
The Five Elders, the God's Knights, the Navy, CP0, the Warlords—everyone surged forth like a tidal wave.
"What are you waiting for? Let's make some trouble!"
Roa curved his lips into a smile.
"Mamama! Then here we go! Elbaf's Spear: Ikoku!"
Charlotte Linlin's hat had transformed into a massive sword. Riding on the thunder cloud, she darted out, and along with a leaping, colossal, black lightning bolt, a gigantic sword wave was instantly hurled out by her.
The shockwave roared out by the Wild Boar was instantly pulverized by Charlotte Linlin's massive sword wave, and then—
The enormous Wild Boar leaped up, the mountain-sized monster slamming into the gigantic sword wave wrapped in black lightning.
Boom!
Accompanied by leaping flashes of powerful Haki lightning, the massive sword wave unleashed by Charlotte Linlin was instantly smashed to pieces by the Wild Boar's head-on charge.
"Pretty tough, huh?"
Roa spoke with a light chuckle.
Tougher than Auntie Linlin, perhaps?
I wonder how he compares to the current King.
"Uororororo! What are you all standing around for!"
Amidst a wild burst of laughter, Kaido charged first, "Let's have some fun!"
He completely ignored who was in front of him. The iron club in his hand was already wrapped in black lightning, and he suddenly smashed it down.
"Ragnarok!"
A figure darted over, "Fist of Impact!!"
The collision between the iron fist and the iron club. The mere spreading shockwave instantly pulverized the surrounding ground, and the fiercely burning flames covering the ground were instantly blown away.
Not only that, but the intertwined Haki lightning surged into the sky, directly tearing apart the clouds above.
Then, the colossal object floating in the sky finally revealed itself to everyone.
"Are you kidding me!"
Aokiji's pupils suddenly contracted, "How can it be that big!"
A colossal island now floated in the long sky, quietly overlooking the city below, which was supposed to be the highest place in the world.
"That barrage earlier, did it come from that ship?"
One of the Five Elders, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who was charging forward on multiple spider legs, also had a grave look in his eyes.
Is it an aerial battleship built with Pluton technology?
Although the power is far less than the true Pluton, it's already terrifying enough!
One full salvo could destroy a large city like Mariejois!
It must be destroyed!
But right now, there's no time for that.
"Come on!"
The ground directly rose and coiled, transforming into giant rock lions that were immediately thrown toward the World Government's forces.
On the head of one of the lions, Shiki the Golden Lion laughed loudly.
"Shiki, don't you dare be presumptuous!"
Radiant sword lights flashed out, and the lion's head composed of rock and earth was instantly sliced through. A figure shot out from the flying debris.
"Jie hahahaha! It's you, Moon Head!"
Shiki's eyes brightened. He instantly flew down, his twin swords at his waist simultaneously unsheathed, "Are you ready to die?"
"Bastard Dad! You should just die!!"
A behemoth shattered the earth and leaped up. Massive thunder descended from the sky, striking directly onto the huge black war hammer. Loki roared, lifting the hammer high with effort. Amidst the leaping electric sparks, black Haki lightning surged out simultaneously.
"Hahahaha! Loki, my son!"
The Giant King Harald, a true behemoth whose height even exceeded a hundred meters and who had transformed into a Devil Giant twenty-five years ago, laughed loudly, "Haven't given up yet? Come to your king. I will lead you to restore Elbaf's glory!"
"Your death now is the beginning of restoring Elbaf's glory!"
Words failed, and the gigantic thunderbolt struck the colossal war hammer named Iron Thunder. Loki smashed the hammer down fiercely.
"Hahahaha! Foolish son!"
The Devil Harald slowly raised his massive greatsword. With black lightning leaping around, he laughed and met Loki's descending hammer.
"Then let your father here wake you up! Only by following the master can Elbaf truly restore its glory!"
"Elbaf's Spear!!" X2
Father and son roared simultaneously.
The greatsword and the iron hammer collided with a boom the next instant.
A vast shockwave instantly exploded. If all the participants in the battle at this moment were not true masters, that single collision alone would have been enough to blow everyone away.
In the thunderous explosion, Loki, whose size was already far greater than that of an average Giant, was cleaved away by his old father's sword, crashing heavily onto the distant ground.
"Zehahaha! Loki! You're still not good enough!"
Teach laughed loudly, already transformed into a massive three-headed dog. One head turned back to mock his old friend, while the other two spewed out pitch-black Hellfire.
"Ice Pheasant Strike!"
A blue-and-white ice bird unfolded its wings and came flying, slamming into the raging black flames.
"Hmm?"
Teach frowned, looking somewhat surprised at the man blocking his path.
"Ararara, I actually really dislike guys who use fire!"
Admiral Aokiji's body was half-turned to ice. Though a smile was on his face, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Zehahaha! Then there are too many people in this world for you to hate!"
Rumble!
The earth trembled as two behemoths suddenly rose up!
A silver giant nearly a thousand meters tall, and a purple-black giant roughly half its size, rose simultaneously from behind Roa.
"Hahahaha! Bring it on!"
The silver giant, Douglas Bullet, roared with laughter, "Mercury Tsunami!!"
A monstrous silver tsunami wrapped in absurdly powerful Armament Haki instantly surged forth, rising hundreds of meters high, crushing down on the World Government's forces with a power that seemed to tilt the heavens.
Mercury is much denser than iron. The mass of this surging mercury tsunami was immeasurable!
Even a small island would be instantly pulverized into dust before this mercury tsunami.
The terrifying destructive power of a Logia ability user was fully demonstrated at this moment!
"This is too exaggerated, isn't it!"
Although they were on the same side, Katakuri couldn't help but gasp when he witnessed the mercury tsunami with his own eyes.
But it was in this very instant that two massive slashes erupted simultaneously!
The two intersecting slashes were practically unstoppable, instantly cleaving a gigantic gap in the surging mercury tsunami.
Hmm?
Mihawk, who had just unleashed a slash, subconsciously looked at the man who had swung his sword alongside him.
His pupils couldn't help but contract suddenly.
Who is this guy!
Figarland Shamrock, who had also swung a sword, immediately swung another one.
Clang!
A sharp metallic sound rang out. The black sword blade suddenly collided with a similarly black trident.
"Oh? Charlotte Katakuri?"
The No. 2 figure of the God's Knights looked with interest at the man who was attacking him.
"I'm really curious about that Straw Hat guy's twin brother,"
The ground around Katakuri instantly turned into mochi and surged up, "Does he possess power close to his!"
"Don't compare that useless younger brother to me!"
"Great Eruption!"
A crimson shadow shot up like a heavy bomber taking off. A giant magma fist, like a super volcano erupting, smashed directly toward the massive silver giant.
"Magma bastard? You're nothing! Ultimate Heavy Cannon!"
The colossal black silver fist, like a mountain range, smashed back.
The two behemoths collided with a boom, causing another world-shaking tremor.
At this moment, Akainu's face drastically changed.
Such power!
The erupting volcano paled in comparison to Bullet's power at this moment!
Akainu was forcefully suppressed.
While the two Logia users, who possessed world-destroying power, fought, Doflamingo, who had merged with Bege again, laughed loudly, "Fufufufu! Let me show you old man's firepower!"
Giant cannon barrels extended out from within the purple-black giant's body.
Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
Dazzling beams of light shot out from those thick muzzles.
What Bege had installed inside his body were the same light cannons as those used in the Catastrophe City, only scaled down due to space constraints, making their power somewhat weaker.
But even so, such a bombardment would still bring about devastating results!
However, it was at this moment that a cold light suddenly flashed across the sky. The descending light cannons were instantly all detonated, and spheres of light suddenly spanned the long sky.
"What?"
Inside the purple-black giant, Doflamingo's expression changed, "So fast!"
One of the Five Elders, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, had entered his Centaur form and was galloping across the battlefield at extreme speed.
In the blink of an eye, he had already run to the lower end of the purple-black giant, and the next moment he was about to leap up and deliver a vicious strike to Doflamingo.
But, before the next moment arrived, in this very instant!
"100 Million Volts: Discharge!"
A bolt of lightning suddenly converged in front of him. Before he could even recover from his elementalized state, the dazzling lightning unleashed by Enel instantly swallowed Nusjuro.
"Looks like,"
Enel's teasing voice blossomed from within the lightning, "I'm faster."
"Mamama!!"
On the other side, Charlotte Linlin laughed loudly as she jumped off the cloud. Her hands directly grasped the tusks of the Wild Boar charging toward her.
"I'm going to see just how tough you are!"
The innate Destruction Queen exerted force with both arms, actually managing to lift the Great Wild Boar, and then threw it directly toward the colossal sand worm lunging at her.
The two behemoths immediately crashed together.
Seeing his colleague frustrated, the Great Spider Saturn immediately spat out a pitch-black venom ball, heading straight for Charlotte Linlin.
However, precisely at this moment, a white figure passed through the venom ball.
The sphere, containing terrifying power, was instantly frozen solid and fell heavily to the ground.
And then—
"Ragnarok!"
The sturdy iron club, wrapped in dual-colored Haki and chilling ice, slammed heavily onto Saturn's head, instantly knocking the Great Spider flying away.
Yamato dramatically swung her club, "Is this a Five Elder? Is this all the skill they have?"
"Hmph! Don't think you can get ahead! Yamato!!"
At the same time, the Charlotte family's masterpiece, Destruction Queen Bonney, leaped up, her greatsword slashing directly toward the strange bird in the sky.
"Get lost! Lowly creature!!"
The strange bird immediately spat out scorching flames.
"Elbaf's Spear: Ikoku!!"
The large open space outside Pangea Castle had now descended into complete chaos.
And amidst this chaos.
"Roa!!"
A figure charged directly toward Roa.
Roa merely turned his head and calmly glanced at him.
Zephyr, is it?
With just that one glance, Roa withdrew his gaze.
A figure darted out from behind him.
A sharp rapier suddenly clashed with Zephyr's flying kick.
"Yo, Zephyr!"
Patrick Redfield spoke with a light chuckle, "You've really gotten old, haven't you? Your strength is completely not what it was back then."
"Patrick Redfield!!"
Zephyr gritted his teeth.
This guy really hasn't aged much compared to back then!
In fact, everyone on Roa's side was like this!
Not only did Roa still look as he did twenty years ago, but everyone else was also frozen in their prime!
"It's really lively."
Roa chuckled, "Right, Tesoro."
Tesoro behind him couldn't speak.
Merely staying conscious amidst the shockwaves of the monsters' battle was already an extremely difficult task for him.
Shing!
A green slash instantly cut through the air. The space was instantly cleaved into a vacuum that took a long time to heal.
"Hmm?"
Roa slightly raised an eyebrow.
Clang!
The green slash was instantly cut in half by a black blade.
King stood in front of Roa.
"Can you move aside?"
Mihawk held his sword, a calm smile on his face, "The person I want to fight is not you."
King looked at him calmly, "A guy of your caliber is enough for me."
"Is that so—hmm?"
Mihawk paused. He clearly saw the sword in King's hand.
Then, a brilliant smile appeared on the man's face, "I see. My apologies, I didn't notice right away! There is another Swordsman as outstanding as this!"
Mihawk gripped his beloved sword with both hands, his body slightly sinking, his muscles tensed, ready for battle, "Please!"
"Nonsense."
King sneered, his figure sweeping out like a gale.
These two immediately engaged in a fierce battle as well.
The top-tier monsters were locked in duels, and the next level of powerhouses also began to clash.
Dylan, leading the executives of the pirate crews who didn't go to the West and North Seas, Vinsmoke Judge's five sons, a group of Calamity Knights, and the two giants, Dorry and Brogy, also began their battles against the other Marines, God's Knights, and CP0 agents.
Chaos!
Mariejois must not have experienced such chaos for hundreds of years.
"Well, it seems everyone has found their own opponent."
Hmm, the fighting power seems a little short still. Sengoku and Kizaru haven't shown up yet.
But even if they come, I can just summon monsters to fight them.
Roa stretched, "Well then, it's time for me to make my move too."
He looked back at Tesoro, "Tesoro, take care of yourself."
Tesoro, dizzy from the immense shockwaves of Conqueror's Haki, stared at him blankly, then forcefully shook his head.
"Yes!"
Although dying here wouldn't matter, Tesoro was now even more expectant. Just how far can Roa-sama go!
Therefore, he would try his best to stay alive, witnessing Roa-sama's great endeavor until his death!
Roa curved his lips into an arc of pleasure.
He was quite fond of this guy.
Then, Roa looked up, watching Imu quietly floating in the sky. Their eyes met.
Imu raised her right hand, the tip of the Devil Trident pointing straight at Roa, her voice cold and majestic:
"Come and die, Roa. Imu shall descend the judgment of the Gods upon you."
"Gods?"
Roa chuckled lightly, taking a step forward.
With his stride, his figure began to grow taller and swell at a visible speed.
Pitch-black wings suddenly unfurled from his back, blotting out the sky.
Grotesque bone armor covered his entire body like a living thing, emitting an ominous, faint light.
A pair of winding horns grew from his forehead, pointing diagonally to the heavens, as if intending to tear the sky apart.
Bizarre dark energy circulated around his whole body, like the descent of a demon!
In the sky, Imu's pupils abruptly contracted.
What is this ominous aura... what is going on?
And this guy's power—
"Then today, I shall be the one to slay the God."
Roa curved his mouth into a joyous arc, slowly drawing the beloved sword from his waist.
A dark-red aura, like flames, coiled and surged on the blade, condensing into a pillar of air that shot toward the sky.
An invisible pressure spread out like a tide.
Roa hadn't fully unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, yet every person on the entire battlefield felt a deep-seated tremor and suppression originating from their very soul.
"What is this...!?"
Figarland Garling, the commander of the God's Knights, who was fiercely battling Shiki, suddenly changed his expression, his attack involuntarily faltering.
Such ominousness, such terror! This guy!
"That guy...!?"
On the other side, Garp, who was forced back by a heavy blow from Kaido, also looked grave, his fists unconsciously clenching tight.
This aura... it has completely exceeded the bounds of ordinary understanding!
"Here we go."
Roa twisted his neck, his joints cracking crisply. He moved his body slightly, then looked up, smiling brilliantly at Imu.
"Imu."
"What!?"
Imu's face drastically changed, and alarm bells rang in her heart.
How does this guy know!
But she had no time to think further!
The ground beneath his feet shattered in response. Roa's figure turned into a pitch-black lightning bolt that pierced through space. Wherever he passed, even the air let out a sharp shriek.
Almost in the very same instant, he appeared before Imu, so fast that even an afterimage couldn't be left behind.
How is that possible... so fast!?
Imu's eyes widened. All that remained in her vision was a surging expanse of dark crimson.
The next moment, a dark-red, magnificent slash tore through the long sky. The arc of the blade extended for a thousand meters, as if dividing heaven and earth in two.
A figure shot out backward like a falling meteor, shattering layers of air currents, tracing a path of defeat across the sky.
