A huge force exploded in one city.
There were not many people in this city, because when Aatrox first showed his dark power, the people on this island started to flee.
Even when the Marines first arrived here, they had already prepared for this.
Now a massive black crescent moon sliced the city in half. Right in front of the crescent, Aatrox's huge figure slowly stepped back.
"What a monster..."
Roger could not help saying. The strike he just made was his full power, but it only made the demon step back one step.
But he could not retreat!
Roger charged forward again. In this city that he had split in two, he could fight freely now.
After stepping back one step, Aatrox swung the huge magic sword in his hand with one hand, clashing with Roger. The massive force directly knocked Roger back, but after retreating, he leaped up and actually jumped right onto Aatrox's arm!
He originally wanted to jump onto that sword, but at that moment his sensing ability warned him wildly, as if standing on it would immediately bring some terribly scary event, so he took the risk and jumped farther.
Sure enough, Aatrox's body was huge, but besides strength, he also had great agility. As soon as Roger landed on him, he saw the other hand slapping over.
"Unlike your looks, your moves are really quick!" Roger shouted. He stood on Aatrox's arm and ran upward constantly, but he still got hit by that huge arm.
This blow almost shattered all his bones. If not for the Shikon Jewel's self-healing power, Roger would have welcomed death peacefully after this strike.
But it was exactly because he had the power of the Shikon Jewel that he chose to take such a risk!
He forced his broken body to lift Aatrox's palm. Though it was just a small gap, that was enough.
With this gap, Roger kept rushing upward and reached the shoulder in the blink of an eye!
Seizing this chance at the cost of serious injury, Roger gathered all his strength. Whether it was his energy coating or other powers, everything focused on the blade extending from his arm.
The vast power turned his whole body into a shining meteor, driving the sword edge toward Aatrox's head!
Boom!
Roger clasped his hands tightly, pushing Ace with full force. At this moment, he had reached Aatrox's neck. He believed that no matter the person or creature, the neck was always a weak spot.
His earlier attacks had little effect on Aatrox, but he did not believe the enemy could still be fine without a head!
This strike pierced deeply into Aatrox's flesh, but Roger was not satisfied. He pushed forward with all his might, basically running on Aatrox's body. The flesh ahead was his obstacle, and every step forward felt like shoving a mountain, but Roger kept going.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!!"
Roger let out a loud roar. He knew this was his only chance; he had to succeed!
Pfft!
In the end, this strongest slash was complete. Roger broke through from the other side of Aatrox's neck. Due to the high speed, he could not stop and had almost used up all his energy, so he fell from the high sky.
But falling with him was Aatrox's head!
That huge head, like a massive rock, was falling from the shoulders!
Did it work?!
Weak Roger felt a surge of joy in his heart, but this joy just started and turned into deeper despair.
"You think you can... kill me?!"
The falling head seemed to mock Roger's foolishness. The next moment, under Roger's unbelievable gaze, countless bits of flesh surged from Aatrox's body, pulling the head back together. Then the huge head was reconnected to the neck by the flesh on his body!
!
Roger knew Aatrox's body was remade from the flesh and blood of Number One's kin, but he did not expect it to survive even decapitation. Could it be...
Roger thought of a possibility.
Could Aatrox's weak point not be this body, but...
That sword?!
Before attacking, he did feel a huge sense of danger from the sword in Aatrox's hand. No wonder when he went for the head, he did not face the enemy's full defense. He thought the other side was careless...
He vaguely guessed Aatrox's weak point, but now he had no strength left.
"I hate your freedom, Gol D. Roger..."
Aatrox returned to normal, while Roger fell to the ground. He looked at Aatrox's huge body and noticed much of the flesh on it was starting to rot. This made him even more sure of his idea.
But what could he do about it? No one could stop Aatrox now...
"Now, you, the last force of resistance in this world, have lost. Wait in the dark hell for the world's fall."
Aatrox raised the sword in his hand high. This slash would sink the whole island into the sea. Roger saw the power in it. He tried desperately to fight back, but even with the Shikon Jewel fragment in his body, it could not restore his fighting strength.
But at this moment, suddenly a figure appeared in front of Roger.
It was a woman's figure. She wore black pants and a white shirt on her upper body. She stood in front of Roger, staring straight at Aatrox.
Makima!
The Fleet Admiral of The Black Order, the hot figure in the world lately. Of course Roger had seen her picture. After all, the Fleet Admiral of the World Government's fourth major organization had long been known worldwide.
She actually appeared here. But since they were dealing with a demon, her showing up seemed expected.
The only strange thing was, why did she not act with the Marines?
But that was not what Roger cared about. He only cared if this world could still be saved.
"By the way, we at The Black Order are the real experts at dealing with demons."
She stretched her right hand forward, her thumb and index finger shaped like a gun, her left hand supporting below the right. She said softly,
"If we're talking about the world's savior or last hope, I never planned to hand that title to anyone else."
Bang!
Her right hand was like a real gun. With her sound effect, Aatrox's body, just about to swing the sword, was suddenly hit by a force and flung into the sky!
