Heading to Fish-Man Island

Master Swordsman are a group of madmen who pursue the ultimate attack, and Great Sword Master are the best in this field. Close combat is undoubtedly the nightmare of any enemy.

The two Great Sword Master clashed without holding back, resulting in faint black cracks appearing in the sky above Sabaody, as if an endless void storm was about to surge forth.

Like a clap of thunder in spring, the people on the island suffered temporary hearing loss, and many unlucky souls near the center of the battle even had their eardrums ruptured, with blood flowing from their ear holes.

Roy was blasted away by a terrifying force, the remaining Sword Qi raging across his chest, blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth.

It must be said that Momousagi truly lives up to her reputation as Admiral- level powerhouse. Her swordsmanship is on par with that of Great Sword Master, and she possesses formidable Armament Haki and keen Observation Haki. Apart from being slightly weaker in physique, she has almost no weaknesses. Even Roy would not be able to withstand such a desperate attack from a top-tier powerhouse without incurring any cost.

"Damn it, Nightmare, you bastard, Buddha Shockwave!" Amidst the billowing dust, a golden giant fist carrying a torrent of energy slammed towards Roy.

Roy's pupils contracted sharply. As the Fleet Admiral, Buddha Sengoku rarely made a move, but with his memories from his previous life, Roy knew that this old guy was definitely hiding his true strength. His only two achievements were that he joined forces with Garp to defeat the then-dominant Golden Lion, and that he severely injured the Blackbeard Pirates with a single blow.

Faced with such an enemy, Roy naturally dared not underestimate him in the slightest. Even if it meant expending a lot of Dream Source Power, he had to maintain himself at his peak condition.

Roy unleashed a powerful sword strike, annihilating the golden shockwave. He calmly cleared the blockage of blood and qi in his right hand, thinking to himself, "Sengoku is truly a man of great vigor despite his age. At his advanced age, he can still unleash such a powerful attack."

However, Roy was not panicked. He had already figured out Sengoku's approximate strength, which was about the same as Akainu's. Although such an enemy was troublesome, he was not insurmountable.

Moreover, Sengoku's left hand was supporting Momousagi's body, so if he wanted to fight Roy under these circumstances, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

Compared to Roy's injuries, Momousagi's condition can only be described as horrific. Almost every inch of her body was covered in blood, as if she had been pulled out of a pile of corpses.

However, Roy could sense that although Momousagi's aura was very weak, like a candle in the wind, she wouldn't die anytime soon. And since the Marine Headquarters was nearby, as long as she was sent for treatment in time, she should still be out of danger.

Although it was somewhat regrettable, it was also within Roy's expectations. After all, the opponent was Admiral- level powerhouse. If he were so easy to kill, he would not live up to the title of the strongest combatant.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, instead of staying at your Marine Headquarters and enjoying your retirement, you're so old and still out fighting and killing. It's such a bad influence on others. They'll think that the huge Marine Headquarters doesn't have many capable fighters left." Roy sighed, as if he felt sorry for Sengoku.

"Hmph, Nightmare Roy, don't be too arrogant. I haven't settled the score with you for injuring Momousagi yet!" Sengoku said, his face darkening as he barely suppressed his anger.

Unlike Chaton, another Admiral candidate with an unlikable personality, Momousagi, who is strong yet gentle, has always been a goddess in the hearts of all marines. Even Sengoku treats Momousagi as... his daughter.

Seeing his "daughter" in such a miserable state, even Buddha felt anger rising in his heart.

"Oh? Is this female Master Swordsman named Gion from your Marine Headquarters? I'm really sorry, she didn't reveal her Navy identity and accidentally injured a friendly force. I feel really guilty!" However, judging from Roy's expression, he didn't seem to feel any remorse.

Roy's crew were speechless; their captain was really good at shifting blame.

Sengoku was furious, but there was really no way to reason with him about this matter. After all, it was Momousagi had acted unilaterally, and given the previous Sabaody incident, the situation was already very sensitive. He couldn't continue to dwell on this matter.

Most importantly, Momousagi's injuries are quite serious, and if this continues, it may lead to irreversible consequences.

"Hmph, I hope you can stay this arrogant forever!" Sengoku said rudely before hurriedly leaving.

Watching Sengoku leave, Roy did not try to stop him. In order to recover from the injuries that Momousagi had left him, he had expended a lot of Dream Source Power. Under such circumstances, it would be unwise to choose to start a full-scale war with Sengoku.

Of course, the most crucial point is that he sensed another warship was also en route. Even the Golden Lion at his peak couldn't handle two old guys at the same time.

"That old man, Sengoku, really hasn't changed at all. The power of the Buddha Shockwave is still as astonishing as ever!" Rayleigh's eyes were filled with laughter. For an old man like him, the most enjoyable thing to do was to reminisce about the glorious past.

"Hmph, looks like I'll have to find a chance to settle accounts with Roy, otherwise, I really can't stay in Sabaody any longer." Shakky said rather unhappily as she looked at the Rip-off Bar, which had been destroyed again and was now a ruin.

"Yes, after this incident, I'm afraid more than half of the people on Sabaody Archipelago will be gone." Rayleigh was speechless at this, and only now did he realize that Roy's reputation as a jinx was truly well-deserved.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the Marine Headquarters did not cause any trouble for Roy, and the brief battle did not spread to the outside world. Everything was as if nothing had happened.

Roy was not surprised by this. Having learned from the previous lesson, the Marine Headquarters would definitely keep this news strictly confidential this time. After all, if the newly appointed Marine Admiral were to be defeated by Roy again, the Navy would really lose all its prestige.

The membrane of the Ark Maxim has been coated, and it is now quietly floating above the sea.

"Going from a Sky Island 10,000 meters above the ground to Fish-Man Island 10,000 meters below the sea, it's truly a rare trip!" Enel said lazily.

"Fish-Man Island is that old man Whitebeard's territory!" Crocodile the Sand gazed into the distance, seemingly reminiscing about the past.

"Whitebeard? One of the Three Legendary Pirates of the previous era, on par with that Golden Lion?" Enel raised an eyebrow. Although the Golden Lion Shiki was defeated by Roy, he still left a deep impression on him.

"Don't underestimate him because of his age. He's the world's... strongest man!"
