On the reviewing stand, Luo Chen manipulated Whitebeard to leap up and blast a punch toward the sky.
The atmosphere cracked instantly, covered in dense fissures.
The tremors transmitted through the air caused the bodies of everyone present to shake involuntarily.
Next was Sengoku.
He transformed into a golden giant Buddha, displaying the ability of the Mythical Zoan: Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha.
Roger did not have a Devil Fruit ability, but under Luo Chen's control, he unleashed his signature Divine Departure.
The attacks of the three had no specific targets.
They were merely to convince the audience that the Roger, Whitebeard, and Sengoku brought back by Impure World Reincarnation were indeed the originals.
After they performed their unique abilities, all doubts before the screens disappeared.
Originally, some people speculated whether Roger and the others were the result of some kind of mimicry ability.
But to be able to mimic even Devil Fruit abilities was highly unlikely.
Wano Country, Onigashima, inside the castle.
The sake gourd in Kaido's hand had rolled to his feet at some point.
He looked astonished, staring blankly at the live broadcast.
Roger... Luo Chen really resurrected him?
He didn't care about Whitebeard or Sengoku.
But Gol D. Roger, that was the Pirate King who had reached the Final Island and knew all the secrets.
Dead for more than twenty years, yet today he reappeared in the world of the living.
Kaido didn't dare to imagine what the world would become.
The astonishment on his face faded, gradually revealing an excited smile.
"The war that engulfs the entire world is finally coming!"
"Who exactly is qualified to rule everything and control everything? Only war can decide!"
"The living possess everything; the dead are just scum!"
Kaido laughed excitedly.
Luo Chen's declaration meant that the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, the Marines, the pirates, the nobles of various countries, and even the Revolutionary Army...
All forces would be swept into this approaching war.
A person's value, whether a person had the ability to occupy a high position, could only be revealed through war!
This was the war engulfing the entire world that Kaido had always dreamed of!
Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly. "Kaido, you don't think you can be the winner in this war, do you?"
"Luo Chen has the ability to kill you."
Kaido didn't care much. His iron club smashed heavily by his feet, sending stone fragments flying.
"Whether I live or die, I don't care! Fighting to my heart's content and using war to redraw the world structure is enough!"
Charlotte Linlin had nothing to say in response.
She was different from Kaido.
Knowing clearly that she was not Luo Chen's match, she did not intend to continue being enemies with Luo Chen.
"It's just that my dream is going to be shattered..." Charlotte Linlin grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
She watched the live broadcast, her expression fluctuating uncertainly.
Leaving aside Luo Chen, whose combat power was unimaginable, the Jinghai Army now possessed nine Admirals.
Roger, Whitebeard, Monkey D. Garp, Sengoku, Akainu...
Every one of them possessed power that rivaled hers.
Charlotte Linlin could no longer see any hope of defeating Luo Chen.
The kingdom she longed for, where all races and things in the world lived together without distinction of high or low, seemed impossible to ever realize.
The mountain that was Luo Chen stood horizontally ahead.
It was enough to block everyone in the world who tried to move forward.
The Four Emperors were no exception.
...
The island of the Red Hair Pirates.
Shanks, Dracule Mihawk, Benn Beckman, and the others no longer had any doubts.
They witnessed the resurrection of Roger and the other two with their own eyes.
The green-haired young man from before was ninety-nine percent likely to be the World's Greatest Swordsman from hundreds of years ago, Shimotsuki Ryuma!
The cigarette in Benn Beckman's mouth was bitten in half.
His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared tightly at the live broadcast.
What kind of Devil Fruit ability could resurrect the dead?
It could even recall Shimotsuki Ryuma, who had been dead for hundreds of years, back to the world of the living.
This kind of ability probably transcended the scope of humanity, right?
Benn Beckman didn't believe in gods.
But at this moment, he felt that Luo Chen seemed to have stepped into the domain of gods.
Dracule Mihawk had stood up at some point, carrying the Black Blade Yoru on his back, a sharp sword intent ready to be unleashed coiling around his body.
Shanks withdrew his gaze from Captain Roger and turned to look. "Mihawk, are you going to challenge Shimotsuki Ryuma?"
He naturally guessed what Dracule Mihawk was thinking.
He had occupied the position of the World's Greatest Swordsman for a long time.
To have the fortune today to see the World's Greatest Swordsman from hundreds of years ago appear across the eras...
Let alone Dracule Mihawk, even Shanks couldn't resist the urge to cross swords with Shimotsuki Ryuma.
Dracule Mihawk glanced at him. His determined gaze needed no further explanation.
Shanks also stood up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and smiled.
"Let's go together. If I had known Luo Chen had the ability to resurrect the Captain, I wouldn't have come back a few days ago."
Even if he had to beg Luo Chen to agree to let him stay in Totto Land for a few days.
Shanks wanted to see Captain Roger as soon as possible.
He was raised by Roger.
Everything he had done so far was also to fulfill Roger's dying wish.
In this world, there was absolutely no one who wanted to meet Roger more than him.
Thinking of this, Shanks suddenly smiled.
"Maybe Mr. Rayleigh is more excited than I am."
"And Luffy. I wonder if he has seen this live broadcast that has shocked the world..."
He said with a light laugh.
Benn Beckman followed behind. Catching a glimpse of Shanks' uncontrollably trembling hand, he smiled silently.
On the surface, he looked fairly normal.
But inside, Shanks didn't know how excited he was.
To be able to see Roger again was absolutely the wish he hoped for most in this life.
...
Sabaody Archipelago.
A giant screen was set up in the center of a clearing.
The surrounding area was crowded with spectators.
There were pirates from the Four Blues, local residents, Marines on the island, and undercover agents; it was a mixed bag of fish and dragons.
On a small hill behind the audience.
The eyes behind Rayleigh's lenses turned red, and tears hovered in his eyes.
Shakky smiled beside him. "You're so old, yet you're still crying."
Although she said that, she understood Rayleigh's mood perfectly.
From the moment Roger set out to sea, Rayleigh had accompanied him all the way.
From unknown pirates to the Pirate King who shook the world.
Only Roger and Rayleigh knew how much they had gone through.
The deep friendship between the two was not something outsiders could understand.
Seeing Rayleigh wiping his tears, Shakky asked, "Are you going to the New World to see Roger?"
Rayleigh calmed his emotions, put his glasses back on, and shook his head. "Wait a little longer."
He gazed toward the east of the Sabaody Archipelago. "I promised Shanks before to teach Luffy and the others, to help him and his companions improve their strength."
"Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are about to master Haki."
"After they learn it and set out to sea, I will head to the New World."
Originally, for Luffy and the other two to master Haki, it would have taken at least a year or two.
But Luo Chen had taught them Haki training methods before.
The three of them had a certain foundation, shortening the time Rayleigh had estimated by a lot.
Shakky raised her eyebrows. "Little Luffy wants to become the Pirate King. Now that Roger is resurrected, will he be discouraged?"
Rayleigh was speechless for a moment.
That was really hard to say.
Moreover, did Luffy still have a chance to be a pirate?
Luo Chen had just declared that he wanted to wipe out all pirates.
For Luffy and the others, who had just learned Haki, to enter the New World and challenge Luo Chen...
The difficulty of this was far greater than challenging the Four Emperors.
