The jet-black figure instantly pierced the sky, a ring of sonic boom cloud encircling her body, so fast that even sound could not keep up with her backward flight.
"Oh! Flying so far!"
Roa made a visor with his hand, his gaze following Imu who was sent flying, all the while leisurely exclaiming, "Is this what you call, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river?"
Twenty-some years ago, when he clashed with that Imu guy, he was always the one getting blasted away. Now, the tables have turned!
This simple exchange, however, struck many below like a bolt of lightning.
"How is that possible!!!"
Warcury the Boar, who was being relentlessly pummeled by Charlotte Linlin's teeth, couldn't even bother to fight back, shrieking in disbelief, "How could such a thing happen!"
All members of the Five Elders, all members of the Holy Knights, were utterly dumbfounded at this moment.
That was Lord Imu!
Although it was only in an possessed state, although only using the body of Gunko, that was still Lord Imu!
Not just them, even the Marines, who didn't know Imu's true identity, had a slight change in expression.
Though they were unaware of this mysterious Celestial Dragon's identity, they knew her strength.
Roa, had this monster's strength reached such a level?
"Mama-mama!"
Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily, "Don't just talk about yourselves, even I can't understand how that brat Roa became this strong!"
"Are you kidding me!"
Warcury roared furiously, "That Lord is invincible! How could she lose to a mere pirate!"
"Mama-mama! Then open your eyes and watch closely what the pirate you speak of is capable of!"
In the sky.
"..."
Imu frantically flapped her wings to stabilize her body.
She lowered her head to look at her right hand.
The trident had been instantly cut off by Roa, and a massive gash was sliced into her right hand, with the forearm bone severed halfway.
The recovery ability of the immortal body had clearly failed completely, and blood was gushing out.
This man!
Imu abruptly raised her head, staring fixedly at the figure slowly flapping his wings and approaching.
Has he actually become this strong in these twenty-five years?
There is actually a person in this world who can grow this powerful!
Roa!
Could this man really be the Joy Boy of this era?
No one other than Joy Boy could gather such a force.
No one other than Joy Boy could be this powerful.
"What exactly do you know?"
Imu's voice was sharp.
Just now, this man called out her name!
Just like the power he just displayed, this was also an abnormal occurrence!
The last person who knew of her existence was, Roger!
"Hmm, what exactly do I know?"
Roa smiled with keen interest.
Although at this point there was absolutely no need to conceal it; even if he directly told Imu that he had found the Final Island and knew the truth of history, it wouldn't matter.
But, if you ask and I immediately answer, wouldn't I, Roa, lose face?
It's more fun to leave this Imu guy wanting more!
Jie-jie-jie-jie!
"How about this,"
Roa put on a deeply thoughtful expression, then spoke with a reluctant tone, "If you can defeat me, then I'll tell you?"
"Do you truly believe you can defeat Imu? Defeat a God? A mere pirate!"
Although inwardly astonished by Roa's power, the tough talk still had to be delivered.
A wild, imposing aura spread out from Imu's body.
A strange magic book condensed from her raised left hand,
A massive double-barreled shotgun instantly appeared in her grip. Powerful Haki gathered inside the shotgun, and in the next moment,
Boom!
Although it was merely a gun, the sound it made upon firing was like a clap of thunder.
The air didn't even have time to react to what was happening before it was directly pierced.
Two jet-black projectiles, trailing long tails of Haki, reached Roa's face in an instant.
Then.
Roa raised his left hand.
Thumb and pinky folded, index, middle, and ring fingers straightened.
He gently caught them with the three straightened fingers.
"What?"
Imu's pupils instantly contracted, her face freezing stiff at that moment.
"How could such a thing happen?"
Between the three raised fingers of Roa, the two projectiles were gently pinched, unable to move forward another inch.
Hmm, what should I say at this time?
Roa thought for a moment, then spoke out seriously, one word at a time, "All martial arts under heaven, nothing is unbreakable; only speed is supreme!"
Evil God of Fire Cloud truly did not deceive me!
"Go die for Imu!!"
The dark bat wings vibrated, and Imu returned like lightning. The trident she ripped from the magic book was once again smashed towards Roa.
"Haven't learned your lesson yet? Your stats are outdated for this patch."
Roa gladly met the attack.
On the blade, which was emitting thick, dark smoke, flames, lightning, gale, and magma—various elements—once again gathered.
And this time, the flames were not ordinary flames, the lightning was not ordinary lightning, and the gale and magma were also special; they were all Calamities from the myths.
"Four Directions Annihilation!"
The black blade, wrapped in surging elemental turbulence, fiercely cleaved onto Imu's slender trident. The trident, which should have been indestructible, was instantly sliced apart again.
The spreading elements instantly swept across the entire sky.
"What is that!"
Aokiji, who was passionately exchanging blows with Teach in his beast-man form with his ice gauntlet, looked up in disbelief.
Lightning, flames, gale, lava—chaotic elements were jumbled together, filling the entire sky, seemingly adding a destructive dome to this world!
"Zehahaha!"
Teach roared with laughter, "Haven't you understood yet? The Boss is invincible! Aokiji, it's not too late to abandon the darkness and join the light now! You shouldn't be buried with the World Government!"
"Ha?"
Aokiji suddenly turned his head, "You call this abandoning the darkness and joining the light? Cut the crap, you stinky pirate! Take this, Ice Age: Double Spear!"
"Zehahaha! Then you, go die!!"
In the sky, amidst the surging elemental turbulence, a figure abruptly plummeted downward.
"Roa!!"
A not-so-shallow wound was torn on the slender waist of Gunko, who was possessed by Imu, and the wound was completely carbonized.
In these eight hundred years, no one had ever caused her such trauma.
Imu was furious!
"Did you call me?"
A ghost-like voice suddenly sounded by her ear.
Imu recoiled, and a left hand covered in grotesque exoskeleton armor had already gripped her head.
Roa's smirk deepened. He swung Imu and forcefully slammed her towards the battlefield below.
Swoosh!
The air immediately let out a painful wail, but the piercing boom couldn't keep up with Imu's falling speed. Rings of mist appeared in the air. Imu crashed to the side of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
The moment she crashed was earth-shattering.
The ground was instantly pierced, forming a bottomless pit, and then, in the next second, the spreading force caused the originally narrow hole to explode.
A world-shaking sound, like a supervolcano erupting.
Large and small gravel were instantly blasted hundreds of meters into the sky. The ground, which should have been incredibly solid, undulated and shattered like waves.
The battlefield fell silent at that instant.
The people who were fiercely fighting could hardly help but be drawn by the commotion on this side.
Figarland Shamrock, momentarily dazed, was immediately run through by Katakuri's halberd, leaving a deep gash on his right waist.
But he still seemed unaware, only murmuring with a pale face in disbelief, "How could such a thing happen?"
That was Lord Imu!
Not only him, but the Five Elders also had pale faces, and the Holy Knights were utterly terrified.
Even the Marines, even Hero Garp, who had just fiercely countered and sent Kaido flying with a punch, had a solemn look in his eyes.
They had witnessed the power of that Celestial Dragon woman twenty-five years ago, yet now, in front of Roa, she was completely powerless?
How strong is that Roa guy now!
In a corner of the battlefield, John, who was fighting one of the Vinsmoke siblings, was sweating profusely.
If even Lord Imu couldn't defeat Roa—
"Hmph, that's more like it!"
Roa slowly descended, flapping his wings, his grotesque face filled with a triumphant smile. He even closed his eyes in a moment of intoxication, "Gaze upon my power."
Showboating in front of others—that's what this is, right?
"Roa! Your sins are unforgivable!!"
The massive pit below exploded a second time. A furious figure shot up into the sky, once again charging directly at Roa.
"You really don't learn,"
Roa shook his head, somewhat helplessly, "I already told you, your stats are outdated."
Imu, possessing this woman, was indeed formidable, having completely surpassed the so-called Emperor-level and King-level dimensions, reaching another height.
But it wasn't too much higher.
If his pre-evolution stat was one hundred, this guy was perhaps one hundred thirty or forty.
She could barely achieve a dominating performance against his former self, let alone confront his current self.
Although he couldn't instantly kill her, it was indeed an overwhelming advantage.
The dragon travels, the dragon travels!
Roa casually reached out with one hand and immediately caught the trident Imu thrust at him.
With a forceful yank, Imu's figure completely lost balance, stumbling toward him for an embrace.
But Imu was Imu, the victor of the great war that swept the world eight hundred years ago.
Even in a possessed state, she still displayed outstanding combat skills. She instantly released the trident, flapped her bat wings to stabilize herself, and used the momentum to spin her body. An arrow shape extended from the toe of her long right leg.
The arrow instantly zipped past Roa's body.
The power of Gunko's Arrow-Arrow Fruit had been activated; this next strike was bound to hit Roa along the arrow's trajectory!
Incredibly powerful two-color Haki wrapped around her long right leg, tearing through the air and crashing down.
But Roa was no pushover either. Did you think his twenty-five years of accumulation was a joke?
His reaction speed was simply too much stronger than Imu's.
He also released the trident, easily and leisurely catching Imu's wrist with a grab.
Then.
"Send your main body."
His beloved sword in his right hand fiercely cleaved down.
Imu's pupils trembled again.
Shing!
The dark red elemental turbulence instantly converged into a giant crescent moon, slashing from top to bottom, almost splitting the entire sky in half.
Imu plummeted towards the earth again.
But this time, Roa did not give her a chance to breathe. His dark wings flapped, chasing after her like lightning.
"Roa! What do you intend to do to Lord Imu!!"
The strange bird, Marcus Mars, flapped its wings and flew over. Although its speed was far inferior to Roa's, it was near Roa's path, so this member of the Five Elders could rush to intercept immediately.
Although only in a possessed state, Lord Imu was still Lord Imu!
No one was allowed to offend her!
Blazing flames brewed in his mouth.
However, the flames did not have a chance to be spat out.
The next moment, the surging flames backfired all over his body, instantly turning him into a flaming bird.
Then, a black line flashed past his side.
The figure of the strange bird, Marcus Mars, completely froze at that instant.
A line of blood abruptly appeared on the top of the strange bird's head, running down its long neck, serpentine body, and equally long tail.
Puff!
The line of blood instantly burst open. The colossal body of this strange bird was instantly cleaved in two, and it was cut perfectly in half.
"Marcus Mars!!"
Ju Peter the Sandworm, one of the Five Elders who was being whipped back and forth like a whip by Charlotte Linlin onto the great wild boar, couldn't help but scream in shock at that moment.
Dead?
Marcus Mars, who was ranked among the Five Elders with them, died just like that?
"Huh?"
Roa landed on the ground, tilted his head, and looked at the great spider with a forehead full of cold sweat, "Are you trying to block my way too?"
"..."
Saturn's body was trembling imperceptibly.
Could he admit that before he even realized he was blocking the way, Marcus Mars was instantly killed by you as if you were kicking a stray dog on the roadside?
"Never mind, just a mere crawler."
Saturn's eyes suddenly widened.
He's gone!
Roa had vanished!
Gah!
It hurts!
His vision suddenly began to spin rapidly. My head, is it flying?
The great spider's entire body was spewing blood. Blade lights flashed across his body, severing all his spider legs, chopping his body into pieces, and then, sending his head flying into the sky.
"Saturn!!"
Nusjuro, who was playing a game of tag with Enel, also had a drastic change in expression.
Two of their long-time colleagues were killed so easily in such a short time?
Roa stopped in front of the pit created by Imu's most recent crash.
"Hey! Roa! You killed my opponent!"
Behind him, Bonney, wielding a great sword, was disgruntled.
"Me too, Brother Roa!"
Yamato also looked sulky, "Don't you have your own opponent?"
"Haha, sorry, sorry,"
Roa scratched the back of his head and said with a grinning smile, "But they came looking for death themselves, so I couldn't help it."
"Don't let it happen again, okay."
Yamato put her hands on her hips, a bright smile on her usually heroic face.
Roa smiled, then turned back to look at Imu lying quietly in the massive pit.
A huge wound was carved from her right shoulder to her left chest, nearly cutting her in half.
But even so, she remained conscious, her eyes fixed on Roa as she spat blood.
"As you wish—"
Roa heard her say.
Then, the woman's wings disappeared, and the tail behind her butt also vanished.
Roa's smile widened, "The interesting part has just begun."
With a casual slash, a Flying Slash instantly sent the head of this already-dying Holy Knight flying.
"Hmm?"
Roa, who was waiting for Imu to make her entrance, suddenly narrowed his eyes, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.
"Dylan! Don't push it too far!"
John was running away.
In the sky behind him, the winged Pteranodon flapped its wings, sending out massive slashes that constantly attacked Captain John.
"John, accept your fate. The Boss will not forgive any traitor."
"..."
Captain John didn't speak, just clenched his jaw tightly.
Did you think I wanted to betray him?
I was forced—
He suddenly felt his body lighten, and then he collapsed to the ground in dismay.
After a brief moment of confusion, intense pain began to surge.
"Ah!!"
Captain John screamed, turning his head in disbelief.
His body was still there, but the part below his waist was gone!
It was severed!
But, the immortal body—
His eyes suddenly widened.
The immortal body was broken!
"Yo, Uncle John, are you playing here too?"
A figure stood before him.
John's body trembled. He looked up fearfully, "Ro, Roa!!"
"I'm sorry, Uncle John,"
Roa looked down at the man he had bisected, apologizing sincerely, "Time is limited, so I can't treat you like Uncle Wang Zhi or Uncle Silver Axe. I hope you enjoy a simple waist-chop special."
"Roa..."
Captain John stared fixedly at Roa, his entire face distorted by the violent pain, "Spare me—"
"I spare you, I spare you. As long as you can live, I spare you."
Roa's face was full of magnanimity.
Then, to add a little difficulty to this test, Roa chopped off another section of Captain John's impossibly thin waist.
Well, now it's a test.
"Wah ah ah ah!"
The piercing scream made one's back involuntarily run cold.
"Boss!"
Dylan landed respectfully in front of Roa.
"Get ready, Dylan. The real battle is about to begin!"
Roa didn't look back, only glancing at Harald, who was unilaterally beating Loki not far away, "Keep the City of Calamity away for now. Tell Kuma to be prepared to retreat at any moment if things go wrong."
"Yes!"
Dylan nodded respectfully.
Roa twisted his neck.
If he had a little more time, he'd go deal with Harald first, after all, he promised Loki—
Boom!
Pangaea Castle suddenly began to shake violently.
A jet-black lightning bolt pierced the massive structure, shooting straight into the sky, causing the floating island high above the clouds to tremble.
"Hoo-hoo!"
Roa, who was about to go trouble Harald, turned back with delight, "Finally here?"
"The King of the World!"
