Taking Divine Departure Head-On, Instantly Crushing Four Commanders!
Once the Red Hair Pirates saw who it was, their expressions instantly tensed, and the atmosphere froze like ice!
The newcomer was none other than Marine Vice Admiral Roy!
Roy glanced around, and the Red Hair Pirates, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, were nothing more than a threat in his eyes. A disdainful smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Hmph... a bunch of troublemakers, it took some effort to find you."
"Yasopp got slapped away again!"
Raki Luh was yelling as he chewed on his meat, but his hand was already on the weapon at his waist.
Benn Beckman narrowed his eyes, a wisp of smoke curling around his lips. "Found us so quickly? Was it an ambush... or were we the target all along?"
Hongo, Snake, Binz, Monsters (the monkey), Limejuice, and Gab also got into position.
They came out to support Kaido at a crucial moment, so they were traveling light and there was no point in bringing along any grunts.
The atmosphere became extremely tense at that moment!
Shanks had already drawn his Griffon, its cold light like blood, the blade pointing directly at Roy, his eyes burning with rage.
"Roy! Do you really want to destroy this ocean?!"
"What good will it do you to disrupt the balance?!"
Roy didn't stop walking, responding with a cold laugh, "Balance? Shanks, who do you really think you are?"
The next moment--
His Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted! Dark arcs of lightning danced around him, the surrounding air seemed to be compressed, and the sea breeze abruptly stopped!
"Balance isn't maintained by Pirates!!"
Shanks' pupils contracted sharply, his eyes flashed red, and his Haki poured out instantly, the terrifying Conqueror's Haki soaring into the sky!
"Boom!!"
Two top-tier Haki collided head-on in mid-air, causing a hundred-meter-high wave to erupt on the sea surrounding the Deserted Island, and tearing a narrow crack in the clouds in the sky!
Roy uttered a sentence in a low voice, each word firm and resolute:
"A sea without Pirates is a truly peaceful sea!"
Shanks fell silent, his figure vanishing from the spot. Griffon drew a crimson arc, distorting even the light!
"Divine Departure!!"
The sword Sky Splitter, its killing intent aimed directly at Roy's brow!
Roy's eyes narrowed, and his right fist instantly became enveloped in black Armament Haki. His muscles tightened like iron, and his Haki surged like a tidal wave!
"Fist Bone Impact!!"
"Bang!!"
The moment fist and sword clashed in mid-air, a terrifying Shockwave exploded!
The ground of the entire Deserted Island's Harbor instantly cracked and splintered, sending rubble flying in all directions like a rain of bullets!
Raki Loo and the others were forced to raise their arms to block the flying stones. Benn Beckman's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of shock swept through his heart!
"This guy... he actually managed to block Shanks's 'Divine Departure' with his bare fist?!"
Shanks' Griffon was still trembling; his pupils contracted slightly, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back to more than twenty years ago—
At that time, he was just an apprentice on Roger's ship. He witnessed Garp using his Iron Fist to forcefully shatter Captain Roger's "Divine Departure," and the Impact of that moment is still etched into his bones.
And now, Roy was recreating that scene right before his eyes!
The two Conqueror's Haki were still colliding wildly, and the pitch-black arcs of lightning intertwined Thunder Dragon the roar of thunder dragons. Cracks crisscrossed the ground of the Deserted Island, and the surrounding waves were shaken into countless tiny droplets of water. The oppressive feeling enveloped the entire area like a mountain!
Benn Beckman's cigarette had already been shattered by his Haki. He roared, "Don't just stand there! Attack together!!"
Upon hearing this, Roy curled his lips into a cold smile, his eyes looking at a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered.
"The whole group is targeting me? Ha... that'll save you trouble."
Before the words had even finished --
"Whoosh!!"
Roy's figure suddenly blurred, as if swallowed by the void, and in the next instant appeared directly in front of Hongo!
"What?!!" Hongo had only raised his blade halfway—
"Bang!!"
Fist Bone, wrapped in jet-black Armament Haki, slammed into his abdomen, causing the air to explode instantly!
"Puff!!"
Hongo coughed up blood, his body flying like a cannonball, crashing into several huge rocks before falling unconscious!
"Whoosh!"
Roy's figure flashed again, this time appearing behind Snake!
The frantic warning from his Observation Haki had just exploded in his mind when he had no time to react.
"Too slow."
Roy whispered, his hand suddenly striking down—
"Snap!!"
Snake heard a cracking sound in the back of his neck, and he collapsed to the ground, completely limp!
"Limejuice! Gab!!" Benn Beckman roared, but it was too late!
"Whoosh! Whoosh--!" Roy moved between the two like a ghost, unleashing both fists simultaneously!
"Fist Bone - Twin Stars!!"
"Bang! Bang--!"
With two muffled thuds, Limejuice and Gab's chests caved in simultaneously, the sound of breaking ribs clearly audible. They were sent flying backward into the distant dense forest, their fate unknown!
In just a few seconds, the four main members of the Red Hair Pirates were instantly defeated!
"Asshole--!"
Shanks' roar was like a thunderclap, Griffon's sword was wreathed in overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, and the crimson sword energy tore through the earth, as if it wanted to shatter the entire world!
"Whoosh!!" He slashed with his sword, and the space within the sword light seemed to twist and shatter!
Roy neither dodged nor evaded; his Iron Fist was simultaneously engulfed by the Haki and the dark current, his momentum soaring to the heavens!
"Fist Bone - Dark Star!!"
"Boom--!"
Sword light and fist shadow collided in the center of the Deserted Island, Shockwave instantly swept around, blasting a huge crater with a diameter of 100 meters and a bottomless depth into the center of the entire island!
Benn Beckman and Raki Lou were also thrown several meters by the blast wave, their faces extremely grave.
Roy's Teleportation mobility combined with Conqueror's Haki and his Fist Bones has completely exceeded their expectations in terms of destructive power!
On the Deserted Island's coastal Battlefield, the aftershocks of sword energy and fist shadows still rippled, and cracks in the ground stretched like a spider web to the edge of the Harbor, with seawater continuously pouring into the giant crater!
Shanks was breathing heavily, Griffon's sword still gleamed with a scarlet light, and the rubble beneath his feet crumbled under the pressure of his Haki.
Benn Beckman strode forward, his eyes sharp as iron. "Shanks, he'll find a chance to Teleportation away in a one-on-one fight! Two against one, engage him and take him down!"
"Heh... finally decided to go for it?" Roy took a step forward, dark arcs of electricity crackling around his body.
"Boom!!"
The next instant, Shanks and Benn Beckman simultaneously sprang into action!
The sword's edge and the gun's muzzle blocked Roy's escape route from the left and right, respectively. The cooperation between the top swordsman and the top gunslinger was like a seamless net!
Roy laughed as he charged forward, his Iron Fist striking out with a thunderous roar!
"Fist Bone - Sky Splitter!!"
"Clang--!"
Griffon and the Fist Bone clashed again, sparks flying like meteors!
On the other side, Benn Beckman's bullet, imbued with a high concentration of Armament Haki, aimed at Roy's brow and struck, but Roy tilted his head and the bullet grazed past his ear!
"Bang! Bang! Bang--!"
The clash between the three was like a meteor exploding on the ground. The battle zone expanded wildly from them, turning the Harbor into ruins and the waves were whipped up into walls of water tens of meters high by the aftershocks!
In the distance, Raki Lu, along with Binz and Monsters, quickly carried away the unconscious Hongo, Snake, Limejuice, and Gab and evacuated them!
The Harbor was in chaos, but at the center of the Battlefield, three top-tier Haki clashed head-on like a raging storm!
Just as the battle on the Deserted Island reached its climax,
On the seas of the New World, three Tart Ships cut through the waves!
The crew of the Big Mom Pirates, who were originally filled with murderous intent, suddenly saw a huge island floating in the sky slowly approaching in the distance!
"That's... an island?!" Cracker's voice trembled slightly.
Smoothie's hand slowly tightened around her longsword, her pupils shrinking slightly. "This isn't an ordinary island... it's been levitated using some kind of ability!!"
On the Flagship's deck, Charlotte Linlin's laughter ceased, replaced by an unusual solemnity.
She stared at the enormous landmass floating in mid-air, blotting out the sky, and murmured softly:
"Shiki? No, he's dead..."
