Overwhelming Power

Everyone was stunned by this scene. It seemed that the plot was not developing as they had imagined. They had been worried that Sanji would leave and Dream-Enter's forces under the influence of family ties, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.

Sanji actually called his family "disgusting scum," and coupled with Sanji experience of being stranded in the East Blue, it seems to indicate that Sanji has a painful past. However, looking at his usual carefree attitude, it's hard to believe.

While Usopp and Nami were stunned, Luffy seized the opportunity to break free from their grasp and dashed towards Roy's direction, his arms suddenly extending backward, shouting, "Gum-Gum Rocket Launcher!"

Seeing that Sanji and Luffy had already made their move, Zoro, who had been itching to fight, could no longer suppress his desire to battle. He bit Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, gripped the Third Generation Kitetsu and Yubashiri he had obtained in Loguetown, and assumed an offensive stance. "Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds!"

Roy completely ignored the attack from the Straw Hat Pirates' three main fighters, as they were still too inexperienced.

The only person here who could pose a threat to him was Fire Fist Ace, who had grown into the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In a sense, Ace was right. This spiritual clone, which suddenly appeared after crossing most of the Grand Line, didn't even have one-tenth of the original Ace's fighting strength. Defeating Ace at his peak would not be an easy task.

However, he never needed to fight Ace to the death...

"Great! The enemy didn't react in time!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly, feeling victory was within reach. "It seems the enemy might not be as strong as we thought, there's..."

However, what happened next made Usopp's eyes widen, and he completely forgot what he was about to say. His mouth opened and closed, and he was at a loss for words.

Not to mention him, even Luffy and his Luffy, who were full of confidence, were dumbfounded.

They had considered that the enemy would use strong defensive measures to withstand their attacks, or that the enemy would use domineering offensives to break through the encirclement, or use exquisite footwork to dodge their attacks one by one, but they never expected that the enemy would simply ignore them and let their attacks pass through their bodies, as if they were hitting the illusory images projected by Den Den Mushi.

"How could this be? I clearly hit him." Luffy stared in disbelief at Roy, who was completely unharmed in mid-air. The scene before him was beyond his comprehension.

"By listening to the Breath of All Things, one can possess the power to cut through everything..." Zoro's forehead was covered in fine sweat, Wado Ichimonji he even bit his sword hilt with faint teeth marks. "But why can't I sense his breath at all?"

"Ugh... I can't look him in the eye, and I can't even attack his body. How am I supposed to fight like this?" Usopp cried out in despair.

"No wonder even arrogant Fish-Man would choose to submit to his power. Compared to others, Arlong's power is indeed insignificant." Nami's delicate body trembled, unable to suppress the fear in her heart.

"You've done enough. Leave the rest of the battle to me!" Ace, who had been playing a minor role, finally stepped forward. He hadn't participated in the previous battles not only because he wanted to give Luffy and the others experience, but also because he wanted to conserve his strength to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise during the battle.

"Nightmare, I will be your opponent from now on!"

"Brother Ace is so reliable!" Chopper's adorable eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Unlike Luffy, who's such a troublemaker, his brother is surprisingly reliable!" Nami thought to herself.

"Sorry, I have no interest in wasting my time with you." Roy's gaze was indifferent, and he didn't take Ace seriously even though it was just a pitifully weak clone.

"What do you mean?" Ace instinctively sensed something was wrong. Although he could sense that the other party's aura was not strong, especially compared to the deep and abyss-like aura in his memory, it could be described as weak and feeble. But the other party was, after all, the Nightmare known as the "Hidden Emperor," a figure who was on par with his Old Man. This kind of monster could no longer be treated with common sense.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you to leave for a while so I can have a private chat with these interesting guys. Different Dimension Space!" As soon as Roy finished speaking, Ace disappeared from everyone's sight, as if all traces of his previous existence had been erased.

Nami stared blankly. Wasn't Luffy's brother supposed to be in complete control? How could he be wiped out by the enemy in an instant? Sure enough, she had to take back her previous assessment. No one connected to Luffy was reliable at all!

"Aaaaa... Was Ace killed? We're doomed, we're all going to die!" Usopp was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, too weak to even stand up.

"You damned bastard, give Ace back to me!" Luffy's eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious to the extreme. Suddenly, an incredibly powerful force erupted from his small body, and his aura swept across the entire scene with awe-inspiring force.

Zoro and the others gasped for breath, feeling as if they couldn't catch their breath. They were secretly shocked, thinking, "This power is... the powerful aura that erupted in the sky when Luffy's grandfather fought the great pirate Golden Lion!"

Roy was secretly shocked. "Although it's still very immature, this aura is undoubtedly Conqueror's Haki. To Awakening Conqueror's Haki so much earlier than in the original story, what an enviable talent!"

Although Luffy didn't know what was happening to him, this feeling of being filled with power was definitely not a bad thing.

Spurred by this force, Luffy rallied and rained down punches on Roy, shouting, "Enhanced Gum- Gum-Gum Gatling!"

"What a reckless captain!" Sanji leaped high into the air, his right leg slamming down like a giant axe. "But let's all go crazy today! Flying Kick Breast Meat!"

"A swordsman who can cut through anything, or a swordsman who can't cut through anything, which one will I be? Sleepless Night: Oni Giri!" Zoro held his swords in both hands, crossed them, leaped into the air, and slashed at Roy once again.

"Great! The three of them have rallied again. In the past, no matter what kind of enemy they faced, they would fall to their attacks. This time will be no exception," Nami prayed in her heart.

"The weak are not fit to survive on this cruel sea. Let me tell you the truth of this world." Roy clasped his hands together and then slowly opened them, revealing an ancient longsword in his palms. He gripped the hilt with his right hand and slashed out with a fierce blow.

Seven Stars Fall Across the Sky!

The seven-colored sword light instantly shattered the three's attack, and the remaining force struck them, sending them flying backward at an even faster speed than when they arrived, crashing heavily to the ground, their bodies cracking and bleeding profusely.

The difference in skill is obvious; the outcome is already decided!
