Overwhelmed by Conqueror's Haki!

Amazon Lily Royal Palace Conference Room

"Boom!!"

Shanks' Conqueror's Haki swept through the conference room like a storm, causing the stone pillars to crack and the walls to crumble inch by inch!

He stared intently at Roy, roaring like thunder, "Roy--!"

Roy simply picked at his ear and lazily muttered, "Shanks, it's been two years, and you still love yelling like that? It's so noisy."

"You--!"

Shanks was so angry that he took a half-step forward, the hilt of his sword humming.

Benn Beckman quickly reached out and pressed down on the captain's shoulder, his voice low and cold. "Captain, calm down! If we start a war here, Amazon Lily will be reduced to ashes in an instant!"

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Roy with a serious expression, and uttered a truth. "Besides... we can't keep him here at all."

The meeting room fell into a deathly silence upon hearing this.

Everyone knows perfectly well that once the user of the Teleport-Teleport Fruit decides to leave, no one can stop him!

Seeing Shanks being stopped, Roy immediately lost interest, lazily turning his head to look at Boa Hancock: "Boa Hancock, you're not Headliners with the Pirates...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he froze in surprise.

Following his gaze, everyone saw that Boa Hancock's cheeks had turned red, her long, slender fingers were nervously twirling her Ink-Colored Hair, and her eyes were filled with an unprecedented shyness and panic!

"Vice Admiral Roy..."

Her tone was soft and alluring, her voice so sweet it was almost unbelievable. "This humble servant... this humble servant has absolutely no intention of cooperating with Pirates ~"

"I'm a dutiful Shichibukai, and I always strictly abide by the Navy's rules~"

The audience. "???"

Rayleigh's eyelids twitched. "..."

Shakky: "..."

Shanks, breaking his guard, roared, "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Roy raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly chuckled, "Oh? A dutiful Shichibukai?"

"Then why would the Red Hair Pirates' ship brazenly dock in your country's Harbor?"

"This--!"

Boa Hancock panicked instantly, waving her hands wildly and blurting out, "They... they broke in on their own! I was just about to drive them away!"

"Expulsion?!"

Shanks nearly drew his sword on the spot. "Boa Hancock!! You bastard..."

"Calm down!"

Benn Beckman, his Shanks bulging and sweat beading on his forehead, held Shanks down tightly. "What's wrong with this woman?! She's like a completely different person when she sees Roy?!"

Shakky's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but look at the Flame Flower, questioning, "Hey... it's not like what I guessed, is it?"

Flame Flower sighed helplessly, raised her hand to her forehead, and had a "I knew it would turn out like this" expression on her face. "Actually... I was just about to say something, but you guys were arguing so fiercely that I couldn't get a word in edgewise."

She added with a sigh, "Boa Hancock... she's suffering from... Lovesickness."

"What?!!"

Shakky and Rayleigh exclaimed in surprise at the same time, while Shanks' eyes twitched and his face turned as black as ink.

Roy simply picked up his teacup, took a meaningful sip, and smiled without saying a word.

Boa Hancock's infatuated expression shattered Shanks' last illusions; he knew in his heart that Amazon Lily would never side with him again.

He could no longer suppress his anger; his Conqueror's Haki like a raging torrent, heading straight for Roy!

"Roy!!"

He gripped the hilt of Griffon tightly, his eyes burning like flames, his voice Sky Splitter: "Why did you sever the Great Pirate Era that Captain Roger started with his life?!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room froze instantly upon hearing this!

Benn Beckman's forehead veins throbbed, and he almost covered his face in a sigh, "Oh no... once the captain gets involved with Roger, he completely loses his mind. How could he ask such a question!"

Roy slowly put down his teacup, flicked it lightly with his fingertip, and the crisp sound was like the tolling of a death knell.

His eyes turned icy, his voice as cold as an abyss. "The Great Pirate Era? Ha... that's just an excuse for a bunch of filthy people."

"The so-called 'freedom' is merely a pretext for their burning, killing, and looting."

How many families have been shattered? How many innocent people have died tragically? And you call it a dream?

His voice gradually rose in pitch, and his Haki suddenly erupted, causing the entire palace to tremble instantly!

"This era stained with blood—"

"It should have ended long ago!"

With a deafening roar, the Conqueror's Haki of black and red combined with Spatial Ripples, sweeping across the entire conference room like a tsunami!

He slowly rose, his imposing aura erupting like a tsunami. "Boa Hancock, considering your good behavior these past two years and your refusal to be courted by the Four Emperors, I forgive you for keeping Rayleigh hidden away."

The next second, his eyes turned cold, his sharp gaze fixed on Shanks and the other two, finally stopping on Rayleigh!

"From this day forward, I will not give you any more chances!!"

"None of you are getting away today!"

"Clang!"

Shanks finally lost his temper. Griffon was instantly drawn, its crimson Conqueror's Haki erupting like a volcano, the sword light slicing through the sky!

"Who the hell's afraid of you?!"

"Whoosh!!"

Roy's figure seemed to evaporate, and the next moment he appeared in front of Shanks, his right fist wrapped in a spatial vortex, his Haki surging like a falling star!

"Fist Bone - Meteor!!"

"Boom--!"

A punch landed squarely on Shanks' chest!

Shanks didn't even have time to react, "Whoosh! Thud--!"

He crashed through the walls, palaces, and forests of Kuja Castle, finally slamming into the distant Harbor!

"Boom--!"

Giant waves surged skyward, seawater surged backward! The conference room fell into a deathly silence!

Benn Beckman's expression changed drastically, and he immediately raised his gun. Lucky Roux followed suit, while Roy teleported Teleportation in pursuit. The two of them sprinted out simultaneously, shouting, "Captain!!"

Rayleigh and Shakky exchanged a glance, both shocked—but they immediately gave chase!

Empress Hancock, seated high on her throne, clutched her chest, her eyes sparkling, her voice trembling, "Lord Roy... he's so handsome..."

"Cough--!"

Shanks scrambled to his feet from the Harbor ruins, blood trickling from his mouth, his chest heaving violently.

His eyes were filled with disbelief—just now... I didn't even see his movements?!

Before they could catch their breath, the air suddenly froze!

"Whoosh!"

Roy's figure appeared out of thin air, his chilling killing intent sweeping over you, as if a tangible blade were piercing your very bones!

"Roy--!"

Shanks dared not be careless in the slightest, and unleashed all of his Haki!

"Boom!!"

The black and red Conqueror's Haki exploded like a thunderous tsunami, transforming into an angry dragon that pounced on Roy with terrifying force!

However, Roy merely raised his eyelids and gave him a dismissive glance.

The next moment--

"Buzz--!"

An even more terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted like the sky collapsing, directly overwhelming Shanks's aura!

"Click--!"

Shanks' Conqueror's Haki shattered like glass during the collision, completely crushed!

"What?! Your Haki... is actually this strong?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Roy's Iron Fist had already landed!

Spatial vortexes coiled around his Fist Bones, their power converging into an irresistible force of collapse!

"Fist Bone - Sky-Shattering!!"

"Boom!!"

Shanks gritted his teeth and roared, forcefully using Griffon to counterattack!

"Clang!!"

The sword vibrated violently, sending countless sparks flying! The tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood splattering everywhere!

He was slammed into the ground again, causing the Harbor's rock layers to collapse and sending waves soaring into the sky!

"Captain!!"

Benn Beckman roared, gathering Armament Haki to coat the bullet, and a bullet Sky Splitter, heading straight for Roy's back!

"Boom!!"

Lucky Roux Rue charged forward, his massive fist carrying immense physical power, Quake-Split the very air!

"Whoosh!!"

Rayleigh's longsword descended like the River Styx, its momentum imbued with the domineering Haki honed over the years, aimed directly at Roy's throat!

The three joined forces, each move deadly, completely sealing off all escape routes!

However--

"Buzz--!"

The bullet, the force of the fist, and the sword's edge struck simultaneously, but at the very moment of contact... they pierced right through his body!

It's as if he doesn't exist in this world at all!

"How... how is this possible?!"

Benn Beckman's eyes widened in horror, Lucky Roux broke out in a cold sweat, and Rayleigh's pupils constricted sharply!

Roy slowly ascended into the air, his black and red Conqueror's Haki swirling around him, looking down down at the disheveled crowd at the Harbor:

"The Four Emperors? Pluton?"

"Today, none of you will escape."
