The magic circle, rumored to be used for summoning demons, was operating once more.
Amidst surging lightning and drifting black mist, another monster was about to descend upon this island from ten thousand miles away.
"Wororororo!"
Kaido burst into loud laughter, "Who's coming this time? Has Imu finally shown up personally!"
This was, of course, pure bluster.
If the person arriving truly was Imu, he would be retreating immediately.
It was not Imu, naturally.
Two figures slowly emerged and stood up from within the magic circle.
"Just one Kaido, and they've been forced to this extent?"
The man in the black suit with golden hair spoke slowly.
Former Five Elder Star, Peter the Sand Worm, expressed a hint of displeasure in his tone.
No matter how powerful Kaido was, at the end of the day, he was currently just one man!
Couldn't more than half of the God's Knights subdue him?
How much more face was the World Government going to lose?
Was it true that they stumbled every time they encountered the Pirate Alliance?
"Regardless,"
Garling, the other Five Elder Star who descended with him, the father of Figarland Shamrock, and the head of the Figarland family, slowly drew his sword. "The outcome was decided the moment we arrived!"
"After we deal with this fellow, it will count as severing one of Roa's arms."
"Wororororo!"
Even with the addition of two more reinforcement Five Elder Stars, Kaido's expression remained unchanged. The smile on his face even grew more unbridled.
"Come and try if you think you can!!"
He raised the iron club in his hand, pointing it towards the two Five Elder Stars with an almost defiant stance.
The already tall Peter began to expand rapidly at that instant, transforming into a gigantic sand worm monster in the blink of an eye.
Garling's long sword was also stained a dark black, and Haki lightning began to flicker.
Shamrock, who had been knocked away by Kaido earlier, descended from the sky, stepping on air, landing beside his father.
Both the father and son of the Figarland family were extraordinarily skilled masters, and Peter the Sand Worm, though slightly less powerful, was also a monstrous existence.
And there was more; the God's Knights who had been previously sent flying by Kaido also gathered one by one.
The injuries on them, which were initially suppressed and prevented from healing by Kaido's formidable Conqueror's Haki, now began to rapidly recover.
If the immortality couldn't be truly broken, then merely suppressing their recovery ability was only temporary after all.
"Kaido, you have nowhere left to run."
The massive Sand Worm spoke slowly, his tone as indifferent as a god delivering a judgment.
Since it was a judgment, the result was already predetermined; Kaido merely seemed to need to quietly await his end.
But.
"Wororororo! A bunch of idiots!"
Kaido finally couldn't hold back, his laughter spreading thunderously, seemingly shaking the entire city.
"You didn't really think you were the only ones who could call for help, did you?"
Boom!
The ground suddenly shook.
The enormous Sand Worm turned its head back in surprise.
Then, he saw that the magic circle behind him had directly collapsed.
A small earthquake occurred in that section of the ground, easily destroying the magic circle etched into the earth.
Earthquake?
Wait!!
The Sand Worm's eyes, which looked rather small compared to its enormous body, widened instantly.
Imu-sama!
He roared in his heart, something seemed wrong!
Because at this moment, a tall, black figure walked out from a nearby ruined civilian house.
In the next instant, he flashed over like a phantom.
"Surprise!"
Roa laughed wildly.
He had been waiting inside for a while.
Now it seemed Big Brother Kaido had finished playing, so it was time to get down to business.
He had already entered his Beast-Man form.
With just a slight flutter of his wide wings, his speed was so fast that the God's Knights couldn't react at all.
There was no need for excess words; all that was needed now was to kill.
"Eh?"
Sommers turned his head back blankly. He didn't even see anything clearly, just a black phantom flashing past the corner of his eye.
Then.
"Uh?"
His vision suddenly began to spin.
Hmm?
Was he flying?
Wait, whose headless body was that on the ground? Why did it look so familiar?
No, why were there suddenly so many bodies left only with their necks downwards?
Then, his vision rapidly turned dark.
Thump.
This was the dull sound of Sommers's head hitting the ground.
Sommers was not the only one decapitated in that moment. The ordinary God's Knights simply could not react to Roa's extreme speed. With just one slash, five or six God's Knights were directly beheaded.
The Conqueror's Haki, which surpassed the limits of humanity, completely shattered the God's Knights' immortality.
At this moment, the God's Knights were no different from ordinary people, and they finally understood an ancient truth passed down through the ages—if a person is killed, they die.
"Ohohoho! This is truly nostalgic!"
Roa chuckled, swinging his sword back out again. A massive black and red slash instantly swept across everything in front of him. "It's a bit like chopping rapeseed flowers when I was a kid!"
Who could refuse the fun of using a handy stick to chop rapeseed flowers when passing through a field, only to be chased and scolded for it?
Well, after two moves, the cannon-fodder God's Knights were nearly wiped out.
After all, ordinary God's Knights were only at the level of a Calamity or an All-Star. For the current Roa, one move was enough to take out a large group; they were not much different from rapeseed flowers.
"Roa!!"
Garling, who had leaped into the air to avoid Roa's massive slash, shouted in a pale voice, "We've been tricked!"
This monster had personally made a move!
In that case, the situation was already clear!
It wasn't they who were setting an ambush for the Pirate Alliance, but Roa who was waiting for the prey to come to him!
They initially thought Roa sending people to destroy the teleportation array was the first layer, and them quietly carving a new one to launch a surprise attack was the second layer.
But, now it seemed Roa was on the third layer!
This bastard was waiting for them to gather from the start!
He intended to destroy the God's Knights, which had severely obstructed their strategic operations, in one fell swoop!
And now, he had truly succeeded!
This bastard had taken out so many God's Knights in one go!
One must know that every God's Knight was an elite among the Celestial Dragons; only nineteen families together managed to form this personal guard of God!
Although there were still some elite members remaining among the Celestial Dragons, they were all defectives who originally weren't qualified to join the God's Knights.
It would be impossible to quickly form a second God's Knights like this in a short time!
This maniac!
Wasn't he afraid? Wasn't he afraid of Imu-sama personally descending?
Had this bastard forgotten how he fled in disarray at Mary Geoise before?
"Roa!!"
To avoid Roa's slash just now, Peter had also returned to his human form. He roared in fury, "Since you dare to show up, then stay here!"
Under his feet, the magic circle began to reappear again.
"Who are you looking down on? You think you can call for backup right in front of me?"
Roa grinned, snapping his fingers lightly.
A volcano immediately erupted beneath Peter's feet, the scorching magma and volcanic ash blasting him into the sky.
Even if Imu wanted to descend personally, they would have to rely on the magic circle, wouldn't they?
"..."
Shamrock's expression also slightly changed.
If Imu-sama couldn't descend, there was no doubt that the three of them would also be killed by Roa!
Would this monster give them time to teleport back?
"Alright, all of you go die. It would be impolite to make me come all this way for nothing."
Roa smiled gently, transforming into a black shadow and flashing towards them again.
But, right at that moment.
Garling, in mid-air, suddenly had his eyes change color, and a pair of pitch-black bat wings unfurled from his back.
"Roa!!"
A chilling voice, like ten thousand years of unmelting ice, rang out.
"Huh?"
Roa looked up in surprise, and a dark black sword blade was already positioned directly in front of him.
"You really aren't picky."
Could he even possess an old geezer like the Moon Head?
Or was it that any existence with the power of immortality could be possessed?
Roa lamented, swinging his sword to meet the attack.
Just the collision of the two blades instantly cleared the area.
The violent impact waves destroyed everything within a nearly ten-kilometer radius. The ground shattered, buildings turned to dust, and those who hadn't managed to escape instantly disintegrated.
"Oh?"
Roa flapped his wings, stopping his backward momentum. He was quite astonished. "The power is stronger!"
Undoubtedly, the power displayed by Imu, who was currently possessing the Moon Head, was stronger than when he had possessed that woman.
However, it was probably just an increase of a few dozen stats; he was still stronger!
Roa shot forward, completely ignoring the Moon Head-version Imu whom he had slashed away with his sword.
In the sky, Peter, who had been blasted upwards by the volcano, was falling back down. The wounds on his body, burned by magma and volcanic ash, were rapidly recovering.
But, it seemed he didn't have time to recover much more.
He saw the figure that appeared before him like lightning.
"Imu-sama!!"
He only managed to let out a scream, his body instinctively swelling into the massive Sand Worm, teeth wrapped in potent Haki, biting towards Roa.
"Old guy, your ability is the most useless."
Roa commented.
The Five Elder Stars were all Mythical Zoans, but the others all had some kind of special abilities. Only this guy could just bite, bite, bite. He was too crude even to be Nika's Fiji stick.
Useless thing, remember to eat a better Mythical Zoan in your next life.
A black and red slash instantly tore through the sky, splitting the very air into two halves.
Also split into two halves was the long body of the enormous creature.
However, this time it wasn't split in half laterally, but vertically, with the cut starting from the mouth.
That was how you were supposed to cleave an earthworm!
"Wororororo!"
On the ground below, Kaido burst into laughter at the sight, "Brilliant! Roa! That's the way to kill! That makes three Five Elder Stars dealt with now!"
The five old geezers, once called the world's highest authority, truly one person below none, had now had three of them dealt with by Roa alone!
"Roa!!"
The Moon Head-Imu, who had been cleaved away by Roa's sword, finally returned, flapping his wings. "You damned thing! Imu will not forgive you!"
"Hmm?"
Roa lowered his head in surprise.
He said he wouldn't forgive him, but he wasn't charging at him!
"Hmm?"
On the ground, Kaido was stunned. That figure, moving so fast that even he was slow to react, flashed over.
Was he coming for him?
Could he not deal with Roa, so he was going to take it out on him?
But.
Kaido grinned, "Idiot!"
Clap.
Behind him, an Air Door suddenly opened.
Kaido only took one step back, instantly entering the interdimensional space.
Then, the door closed.
Swoosh!
Just then, a dark black blade swept across, tearing a deep trench in the ground, but of course, it couldn't touch Kaido, who was already in the interdimensional space, in the slightest.
"What?"
Imu's face instantly darkened. "Door-Door Fruit?"
A space-based ability!
"How about that, Imu?"
Roa slowly landed on the ground, flapping his wings, a relaxed smile on his face. "Specially prepared for you."
Crack!
It was at this moment that the black lightning struck down again.
"Huh?"
Roa slightly tilted his head, looking behind Imu.
Shamrock, who had been hiding behind them since earlier, had reopened the magic circle, and the summoning had begun again.
The bat wings on the Moon Head's back vanished at that instant, and his aura returned to its previous level.
Then, a pitch-black figure had already appeared within that magic circle.
"Roa!!"
Rampant Conqueror's Haki began to sweep across the entire island at that moment. Accompanied by Imu's low voice, the entire Brandy Kingdom began to tremble under the monster's presence.
"Ohoho, personally making an appearance again?"
Roa smiled. "Then it seems today can only end here."
The results were already brilliant, weren't they?
Only Shamrock was left of the God's Knights who had gathered here.
Although he didn't know how many were left, the remaining God's Knights were certainly powerless to stop his strategy.
And he had also conveniently killed another Five Elder Star.
A huge profit.
"Don't even think about running!"
Black wings spread, and Imu rushed towards Roa immediately.
But, still slow, still too slow!
Behind Roa, the Air Door opened.
Bruno alone certainly wouldn't have this quick reaction speed.
But what could be done when Roa could control his Specters?
"Adieu."
Roa waved at Imu with a cheerful smile, then vanished into the interdimensional space.
Click.
With a crisp sound, Imu missed again.
"..."
The World King, who had ruled the world in the shadows for eight hundred years, was trembling all over with anger.
"Roa!!!"
Again, he was tricked by this bastard again!
Even Joy Boy hadn't made Imu feel this humiliated!
"..."
The Figarland father and son lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
Imu-sama, it seemed, truly had no way to deal with Roa either.
In that case, what would happen to the North Blue and West Blue next?
Who would guard them?
How would they be guarded?
Was this world truly going to be divided in half with Roa?
