Issho Gets Ganged Up On

"Is this your plan?" Roy, unable to move due to the oppressive gravity, looked at the impending Meteor Fire Rain and chuckled. "Unfortunately, these methods are useless against absolute power."

An extremely powerful aura rose from Roy's body, sweeping outwards in all directions, instantly dissolving the invisible gravity that had been binding Roy's body like shackles.

Once free, Roy stretched his limbs slightly, and facing the rain of fire, he calmly unleashed a sword strike. This seemingly powerless strike had reached the realm of returning to simplicity, instantly annihilating the countless fireballs in the sky into the smallest particles, leaving not even a trace of their existence.

"Phew, I'm saved!" Diamante wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. In his current severely injured state, he had no way of escaping from such a catastrophe-level attack. After all, Yixiao already knew that only those scum from the Donquixote Family were within this range, so naturally he wouldn't hold back at all.

"Are these two monsters?" Violet stared blankly at the scene. Five years ago, Doflamingo's capture of Dressrosa was too easy. He didn't encounter any decent obstacles and naturally didn't show any earth-shattering strength. So she had no idea how terrifying the battles of top-level experts could be.

"How could this be? How did this guy's strength increase so much in an instant?" Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yixiao's forehead. In his perception with his Observation Haki, if Roy was a ferocious and tyrannical Giant Sea Kings before, then Roy's aura was now as vast and deep as the ocean, completely unfathomable.

"I didn't want to use this move originally. After all, after using Virtualization, I'll lose my trump card against the Four Emperors within a month. If Kaido attacks now, it will be really difficult to deal with." Roy felt the continuous power within his body, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "However, this opportunity is too rare right now. If I use it properly, it might add an Admiral- level fighter to my team. At that time, even the Four Emperors won't be able to get the better of me."

"Besides, finding someone as brainless Kaido within a month won't be an easy task," Roy said sarcastically, then pointed his sword at Kaido again.

"Alright, let's resume the fight."

Yi Xiao's face was ashen. He was no match for Roy to begin with, and now Roy had amplified his strength so much. How could this battle possibly continue?

Yi Xiao, being a top-tier fighter on this vast ocean, quickly calmed down and pondered to himself, "However, his ability can't possibly be without cost or time limit. As long as I can hold out for this period, once he weakens, it will be the best time for me to kill him."

Seeing Roy's figure suddenly disappear, Yi Xiao's pupils contracted sharply; he could no longer predict what the battle would entail.

"Gravity Chaos!" Although he was a little flustered, Yixiao still made the most perfect response in an instant. Since Roy couldn't break through his gravity, he might as well remain unchanged and wait for Roy to get closer so that he would naturally reveal his weakness.

Bang!

An eerie sword light flashed, blood splattered out and quickly disappeared into the ancient patterns of the Seven Star Sword. The delicious taste of the powerful made the Seven Star Sword tremble and hum once again.

Yi Xiao struggled to cover the wound on her chest, blood seeping from between her fingers.

Even though he had used Armament Haki to protect his body in time, it was probably impossible for even a monster Kaido to remain unharmed in the face of Supreme Grade Sword like the Seven Star Sword.

"How is that possible? Why did you completely ignore the effects of gravity?" Yixiao looked at Roy in disbelief.

"Because I am just too strong now," Roy's voice echoed softly, "So strong that even this world cannot limit me."

Yi Xiao's lips twitched slightly. What kind of bullshit answer was that? According to you, everything can be explained by being strong enough.

"It seems I have to retreat. He's just too strong in this state. I simply can't hold out until his amplification period ends." Yi Xiao thought dejectedly. It wasn't that he was afraid of losing his life; he just didn't want to make a pointless sacrifice.

If his death could cause Roy irreparable harm, he would accept it. But given the current situation, even if he paid the price of his death, he probably wouldn't be able to cause Roy any harm.

This is the difference between him and Akainu. Although Akainu was almost powerless against Roy in this state, Akainu was tough and thick-skinned, so even Roy in this state could not cause him fatal damage. Therefore, Akainu continued to pester him relentlessly.

"Trying to run away? Not so easy. If I let you escape after paying such a high price, I might as well give up my life on this sea."

Roy's words only strengthened Yi Xiao's suspicions. Roy must have paid a huge price to boost his strength, but unfortunately, he wouldn't live to see that day. Of course, if Yi Xiao knew that Roy's so-called huge price was just a month's skill cooldown time, he would probably really lose his temper.

"Roy, you are indeed unmatched in your current state, but if I were determined to escape, it wouldn't be difficult for me." This was also the source of Yixiao's confidence. Defeating and killing are two different concepts. Top combatants on the high seas may be defeated, but there is almost no precedent for being killed in a one-on-one battle.

"Is that so? I'd like to see how you escape from the encirclement of my entire Phantom Sword Pirates." As soon as Roy finished speaking, Crocodile and Enel appeared around him, forming a triangle with Roy. The other powerful members under Roy's command hid behind the three of them, some standing with their swords drawn, others aiming their guns. A deadly crisis lingered in Roy's mind.

Even with a good attitude, I couldn't help but curse at this moment.

It's important to understand that there are almost no weaklings among Roy's crew. In a one-on-one situation, he's confident he can kill them easily, but with Roy watching from the sidelines, he can't free his hands and feet at all. At this point, any attack from them would be a deadly threat to him.

Moreover, in his perception, the other two people surrounding him with Roy were also extremely powerful. They might be slightly weaker than him, but they were still enemies that required his full attention to deal with. Even if he faced both of them at the same time, he would have no choice but to retreat. Not to mention that there was also Roy, the big boss, watching from the side. To describe this situation as a desperate situation would be an understatement.

The other party was clearly stronger than him, yet they resorted to such despicable tactics as ganging up on him. It was simply intolerable.

Yi Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse, and said, "Roy, isn't what you're doing a bit too unethical?"

"Why talk about chivalry with a saint like you? Let's fight side by side." Roy was taken aback; something about that statement seemed off.
