Face-Face Fruit
The five who had stopped fighting because of the sudden appearance of this colossal Giant Sea Kings exchanged glances and then unanimously resumed their melee, leaving the bewildered Sea Kings standing aside in a daze.
"Hey, can you guys have some respect for me? I climbed up from 10,000 meters underwater to get some fresh air and show off a bit, don't I have any dignity?!"
Just as the Sea Kings was enraged and about to teach these insects a lesson, several streaks of sword Sword Qi pierced through its skin and penetrated deep into its flesh without encountering any resistance.
Roar!
As the overlord of the deep sea, it had long forgotten the taste of pain, but it finally experienced what it meant to be heartbroken once again.
Before it could even figure out what was happening, it was struck again by the spreading spatial rifts. Its hundreds-of-meters-long tail snapped off instantly, followed by countless bolts of lightning that struck it to the point of near death.
If we were to describe it using Roy's past life's meme expressions, it would be like a weak, pitiful, and helpless cat tentatively poking its head out of its burrow, its eyes blank and surprised, "Is this the world of the big shots?"
Before it could retreat back to the seabed, it was cut in half by a seven-colored sword beam and lay dead on the sea surface. The gushing blood once again stained the sea red. Unfortunately, the five people in the midst of the melee were indifferent to this, as if they had just accidentally stepped on an ant on the roadside.
In the midst of the five-person melee, Roy always intentionally or unintentionally drew the battlefield towards Red Hair. It wasn't that he had any special feelings for this one-armed man; it was simply because he was very curious about Red Hair's application of Conqueror's Haki. If he could learn it, his strength would definitely increase greatly.
Red Hair was naturally happy to see this happen, and he also wanted to test Roy's limits.
The rapier Griffin in Red Hair' hand is enveloped by two auras: Armament Haki makes it indestructible, and Conqueror's Haki makes it invincible. It is precisely because of Red Hair' powerful Haki cultivation that his sword does not shatter instantly like the weapons of Whitebeard and Kaido.
Even so, in terms of weaponry, he was still completely outmatched by Roy. After all, the Seven Star Sword, which surpasses the Above Supreme Grade Sword, was not a sword that could be bridged by mere Haki.
Therefore, Red Hair always fought and retreated, trying his best not to engage in a direct confrontation with Roy.
Suddenly, the Red Hair, who had been avoiding battle, changed his attack in an instant. The dazzling sword light on the Griffin surged, as if it would completely devour the unsuspecting Roy.
Roy's eyes widened suddenly, a rainbow of light swirling in them, his Conqueror's Haki raging outwards, piercing the Red Hair's brain like a mental storm.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Roy swung his Seven Star Sword down, with eerie flames clinging to it, like a shooting star falling from the sky.
Red Hair, however, seemed completely unaffected. He raised his sword to parry, sending Roy flying with a single blow, and pressed his advantage relentlessly.
A gust of sea current shot into the sky, like a waterfall hanging in the void, blocking the two of them and obstructing the Red Hair's path.
"It has absolutely no effect on him?" Roy shook his head, finally understanding the difficulty his previous enemies had faced when dealing with him.
In some ways, Red Hair is indeed very similar to him. Both are all-rounders and incredibly well-rounded. Whether it is swordsmanship, Haki, or physique, they are all at the top of the world. Even the usually invincible mental attacks cannot have much effect on them.
Such people may not be the strongest, but they are certainly the most difficult to deal with because they have almost no weaknesses.
As time went on, the injuries on the five men gradually worsened, and their strength began to give out.
In fact, all five of them possessed monstrous physical strength, and could easily fight for ten days and ten nights. However, in this chaotic battle, the consumption of energy and stamina was far beyond what they could normally endure. The fact that they could hold out for half a day was due to their exceptional talents.
"You bunch of bastards, you did a really good job! This is the first time I've had such a good fight since Roger and Shiki left this sea. Kura-ra-ra!" Whitebeard laughed heartily, as if his injuries had no effect on him.
"You old codger, you've regained some of your peak form. That's good, so you won't die in your sickbed before I defeat you." It has to be said that Kaido is indeed a monster. Due to his disadvantage in speed, he has almost never dodged any attacks, but his current state is better than anyone else's, as if he is not the one who has been knocked into the sea countless times.
"Seeing you all so energetic, I'm relieved. It seems this sea won't be boring any longer." Big Mom's resilient body gives her physical strength comparable to Kaido's. If she didn't lack Kaido's abnormal regenerative ability, the title of the Strongest Creature would probably have changed hands.
"I hope you can all give me some face." Red Hair, still defiant, activated his Face-Face Fruit again. "If the battle continues, it will inevitably lead to a conflict between our various pirate crews, and the flames of war will spread to the entire sea. The ever-watchful Marine Headquarters and the World Government will certainly not let this opportunity pass. I know that you are not afraid of the so-called Marine Headquarters, but the World Government, which has stood on the sea for eight hundred years, is not as simple as it appears."
Roy raised an eyebrow. He had never been sure about Red Hair's stance. After all, in his memories from his previous life, Red Hair had an ambiguous relationship with the Five Elders. He even suspected that Red Hair was a spy planted by the World Government among the pirates.
However, judging from Red Hair's actions, it doesn't fit the behavior of an internal traitor at all.
Furthermore, the domineering Conqueror's Haki Red Hair displayed during this chaotic battle further dispelled Roy's previous doubts. A puppet subordinate to the World Government would not possess such an aura.
"Red Hair, you bastard, you're really going backwards as you get older. A pirate should just do whatever he wants!" Kaido vented his frustration.
However, aside from Kaido, who was simply courting death, both Whitebeard and Big Mom were considering the pros and cons in this regard.
After all, Whitebeard was only trying to confirm the ownership of Fish-Man Island with Roy, and Big Mom was simply playing the role of a troublemaker. Although neither of them was afraid of the World Government, it was really not worth attracting the World Government's attention for such a senseless matter.
"I almost forgot, you didn't mention it. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and being with you bunch of vicious pirates is just too much pressure. Let's call it a day." Roy shrugged and said. Red Hair and the others were speechless. You think you, Shichibukai, are any better than us? Maybe in the eyes of the World Government, your threat is second only to the Revolutionary Army.
After Roy finished speaking, he sped swiftly toward the Ark Maxim on the horizon, leaving behind only a light, casual remark. "Whitebeard, whether you agree or not, Fish-Man Island is my territory now. If you still want to fight me, I will gladly oblige."
"Kurarara, what a domineering brat." Whitebeard chuckled noncommittally twice, then turned and left the battlefield.
"That's fine, I need to go back and prepare for a grand Tea Party!" Big Mom swayed her "graceful" body as she returned to her ship.
"Damn it, these cowards!" Kaido roared furiously, charging towards Red Hair. "Red Hair, it's all your fault, you bastard!"
"The Fish-Man Island conflict?" Red Hair, still trying to figure out Roy's intentions, laughed and flew away after seeing Kaido's actions. "We'll talk about it when you catch up with me."
Kaido, with his short legs, couldn't keep up with Red Hair's speed and could only watch helplessly as Red Hair boarded the large ship and left, while Kaido clung to his small wooden plank and roared in frustration.
