Roy's Choice

Offshore Moby Dick

The entire warship shook violently, the waves roared and pounded against the hull, the deck was covered with cracks and wood chips flew everywhere.

The captains Fire Charge and murderous intent, and they all wanted to leap over the deck and onto the Battlefield!

"Pops's getting beaten up! Don't stop me!!" Jozu roared, his entire body turning into crystal, cracking the ground!

"At least let me cut that kid once!" Vista drew his twin swords, their cold light flashing, exuding a murderous aura!

"Shut up!!"

Marco staggered to the bow of the ship, transforming into Phoenix of Blue Flames. His wings were charred black, and blood dripped from his mouth, yet he stood like a pillar of heaven, firmly blocking everyone's path!

His eyes were resolute, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Going up there is just suicide!!"

"This is no longer a battle we can intervene in!"

"Don't cause trouble for Pops!!"

Amidst the churning Blue Flames, everyone was stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads, gritted their teeth, clenched their fists so tightly they cracked, their faces filled with resentment and anger!

In the crowd, 33-year-old Blackbeard quietly retreated into the shadows, his eyes fixed on the figure churning with lightning in the sky, his smile completely frozen.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his back was already soaked with fear.

"Thief... thief hahaha..."

His throat was dry, Kaido he murmured tremulously, "What a joke... one person... suppressing Whitebeard and Pops?!"

"Those are... two Sea Emperors!!"

In his eyes, shock was gradually consumed by madness, replaced by greed, restlessness, and a kind of burgeoning ambition!

"This power... this power!!"

"If I could obtain it... this ocean, no one could stop me!"

In the distance, Jin, having recovered some of his strength, transformed into Pteranodon and hovered above the confluence of lightning.

He looked down at the Battlefield, watching Kaido being repeatedly struck by heavy punches, his face a mixture of shock, anxiety, and pain.

"At this rate... Kaido will really be killed!!"

"We can't delay any longer!! We must retreat!! We must retreat immediately--!"

"Bang!!"

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

Roy unleashed punch after punch, each strike imbued with Conqueror's Haki and extreme acceleration, bombarding Kaido like a comet crashing into the earth!

Each punch is like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing!

With each punch, Kaido's once indestructible body crumbled further, his dragon scales shattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and his bones cracked with a thunderous sound!

"Ughhh--!" Kaido roared in retaliation, unleashing the Hassaikai, which slammed down with wind and thunder!

However, Roy seemed to anticipate the future, his figure Flash as he Teleportation to dodge, then he threw another punch from a different angle—

"Bang!!"

Kaido's cheek exploded with a bang, his Dragon Fangs flew off, his head shook violently, and he staggered to his knees, his knees smashing through rocks!

The New World's emperor was forced to kneel!

"You brat!! Don't ignore me!!"

Whitebeard roared, his eyes bloodshot, and he channeled his Tremor-Tremor power into "Murakumogiri," slashing down with all his might!

"Air Quake - Boundary Severing Slash!!"

A heaven-shattering slash, carrying the power to collapse space, crashed towards Roy!

--However!

"Whoosh."

Roy gently flicked his left hand, causing the space to tremble slightly.

"--Um?!"

The next moment, the Tremor-Tremor Spatial Slash vanished into thin air!

"Varied--?!"

"Puff--!"

The slash that Whitebeard unleashed appeared directly behind Kaido, tearing his entire dragon back open!

The shock surged into his body, his spine cracked, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

Kaido roared to the sky, his face contorted in rage. "Whitebeard... you...!!"

Whitebeard stood frozen in place, his face filled with horror. "It wasn't me... I chopped down... that brat...!!"

Whitebeard suddenly realized--

In that instant, Roy forcibly diverted the trajectory of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's attack!!

Roy's fists rained down on Kaido like a storm, each strike imbued with the ultimate Conqueror's Haki, crashing down with destructive power capable of tearing apart mountains and rivers!

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

As the fist struck, dragon scales shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

Kaido's body, once considered an impenetrable fortress, was now a bloody mess, the sound of bones cracking echoing across the Battlefield, his sternum collapsed, his muscles torn, yet he refused to fall!

Those scarlet dragon eyes stared intently at Roy, filled with rage, humiliation, and madness, yet without a trace of submission!

"Damn it... this guy's durability is just outrageous!"

Roy's expression remained cold and stern, his punches striking like thunder and lightning, but a burning fire was igniting deep within his heart.

--Having taken Law from Paradise Marineford Teleportation across the entire New World to New World northernmost depths, his stamina was already nearly half depleted!

The reason they can continue to suppress Kaido is entirely due to their willpower and skillful planning.

He deliberately exerted all his strength to suppress Kaido, and even spent a lot of energy to pretend to easily deflect Whitebeard's slash, all to mislead Whitebeard —to make this "monster of the old era" think that he was still in control, and thus dare not make any rash moves.

As expected, Whitebeard did not make a move for a long time.

But the problem is...

His gaze sharpened as he glanced at Kaido, who was panting heavily but still standing. "This mad dragon... he's really too resilient!!"

"This battle has been going on for two days already. If it drags on any longer, that meddlesome guy will probably be here soon..."

Whitebeard stood not far away, Murakumogiri " tightly in his hand. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit quietly gathered in his arm, with black and red lightning swirling around him, but he hesitated to unleash it.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce. "That attack just now... he diverted it."

"If I act rashly again... I might be the one who kills Kaido."

His old rival's life was not something his proud Whitebeard wanted to take the blame for!

"You little brat from the navy... what exactly do you want?!" he roared, his voice booming.

Roy didn't answer, but just swooped down with a cold smile.

In the next instant, he appeared in front of Kaido, his fist condensing once more, his ultimate Haki exploding like a blazing sun!

"Boom--!"

That punch landed Kaido's chest!

A violent Shockwave swept across the entire island, causing the ground to collapse and the rock layers to crack!

Kaido was struck as if by a thunderbolt, flying hundreds of meters backward before crashing heavily into the ground, creating a cloud of dust!

"Boom--!"

The entire Deserted Island trembled violently, and the crust at its edges began to crack, with the fissures spreading wildly in all directions from Kaido's center!

Whitebeard's pupils constricted sharply; he was terrified!

"Oh no... what is he doing..."

He suddenly realized Roy's true intentions!

"He wants to blow up the whole island!!"

"Stop--!"

Whitebeard roared and charged toward Roy, unleashing Haki of Tremor-Tremor. His "Murakumogiri," carrying the power of spatial collapse, slashed violently toward Roy!

However--

"Whoosh!"

Roy's figure vanished instantly, only to reappear high in the sky!

He coldly looked down at the cracked earth below, his body crackling with lightning, and slowly raised his fist.

The sky darkened at that moment, and the black and red Conqueror's Haki swirled around his right fist, as if it were the fury of an entire starry sea!

"--Too late!"

"Instant Galaxy Starburst!!"

That punch seemed to pull the entire sky into an abyss!

Before the fist even landed, the air shattered, the center of the island roared incessantly, and the sky was completely dyed black and red!

Whitebeard roared and forcefully leaped into the air to block, but in that instant!

"Click!!"

An invisible killing intent suddenly descended from the extremely distant horizon!

As if the eye of a god had descended, a red light suddenly exploded deep within Roy's mind!

His pupils contracted sharply, Observation Haki alarm went off!

"This is--?!"

The air around him was torn apart, creating an invisible ripple, as if a "divine intent to strike" had been projected from thousands of miles away!

"Whoosh!!"

A thin yet terrifying red streak appeared in the air, heading straight for the core of the Galaxy Starburst!

Roy abruptly stopped his punch, his figure flashed, and amidst the crackling lightning, the starburst power on his fist collapsed with a deafening roar!

"Bang--!"

A thunderclap exploded in mid-air, and the fist of destruction stopped in the void!

On the distant horizon, a giant ship bearing a red Pirate flag is slowly sailing into the Battlefield.

At the bow of the ship, a one-armed Red-Hair figure stood silently in the wind, his eyes filled with murderous intent and warning.

"Red-Haired Shanks..."

Roy's pupils contracted, and a slow smile crept onto his lips, "You really do... pick your timing."
