Acting Pro! Koutowa Ryu! A Battle That Ended in an Instant

In the skies of a certain New World, Pteranodon soars high into the sky.

Bege sat on his back, her head bowed, like a corpse.

Of course, this is actually just because Bege has shifted her focus to her body.

Inside Bege's body.

The executives of the Calamity Company gathered here.

"This time, Bullet, Abel, and I will go."

Roa leaned back comfortably on the sofa. "If the enemy is Divine Knight, you can never be too careful."

"Ultimately, Boss,"

Abel asked with some curiosity, "What kind of power do these so-called Divine Knight possess?"

The Boss isn't even afraid of opponents like Roger Golden Lion.

But when it comes to the Divine Knight, they are so solemn.

"Doflamingo,"

Roa turned to look at Doflamingo, who was standing behind the sofa. "Weren't you a former Celestial Dragons? Tell me what you know about the Knights of God."

Doflamingo was somewhat absent-minded, only snapping out of his daze upon hearing Roa's voice. He quickly replied, "I... I don't know much about them either."

All that is known is that they are an organization composed of the most powerful Celestial Dragons, possessing the power to judge other Celestial Dragons, and their status is second only to the Five Elders.

"Can the Celestial Dragons be judged?"

Abel nodded slightly. "As expected, there are many elites among the Celestial Dragons."

It would be strange to say that all the Celestial Dragons have Pig Head.

Nineteen families have multiplied for eight hundred years. Even though the Celestial Dragons generally do not have a strong desire to reproduce due to their extravagance and debauchery, the total number of Celestial Dragons has long exceeded one hundred thousand.

Among 100,000 people, there will always be some gifted individuals.

This group possesses resources that cover almost half the world; anyone with a little ambition and talent can become a powerful figure.

"It's not just about status and strength,"

"Seven years ago at God Valley, when they appeared with the Five Elders, they really startled everyone," Roa said lazily.

Why?

Bullet said in a deep voice.

"Immortality."

Roa casually remarked, "The Five Elders and the Knights of God both possess a special teleportation ability, allowing them to gather a massive amount of power in an instant. However, that's not the key point. The real key is that all of them possess true immortality."

"Immortality?"

Even Moria, who had remained silent until now, exclaimed in disbelief, "Boss, are you talking about the kind of immortality I understand?"

While teleportation is impressive, there are plenty of strange and unusual abilities on the high seas, so there's no need to be too surprised.

But immortality? That's a completely different story!

In addition, the title "Boss" becomes more and more natural after being used a few times.

"Yes, of course, the kind of unreasonable immortality where you can keep regenerating no matter if your heart is pierced, your head is cut off, or you're burned to ashes."

Roa casually remarked, "There probably isn't another kind of immortality in the world, is there?"

"They actually have this ability?"

Moria couldn't help but swallow hard.

"In that case, wouldn't they be invincible?"

Bege said anxiously, "Boss, aren't we just courting death?"

How can we possibly defeat an enemy who is immortal?

Doflamingo nodded in deep agreement.

So the Knights of God actually possess such power?

This is the power that Celestial Dragons should possess!

"Quiet."

Bullet scoffed, "So what if you're immortal? There's no such thing as an unbreakable ability in this world!"

"That's right!"

Roa snapped his fingers with a smile, "That's the significance of this operation."

Since only one Divine Knight has arrived, plus two CP0 members as extras, there couldn't be a better opportunity.

Can the Divine Knight summon reinforcements via teleportation?

As long as he hadn't called everyone over in the first place, Roa guaranteed that he would never have had the chance to draw the teleportation array.

"Let's seize this opportunity and try to figure out how to break their immortality. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very awkward when we fight in Mary Geoise later?"

According to dramatic theory, all mechanisms are designed to be broken.

Whether it's absolute defense, Super Regeneration, or the immortality of the Divine Knight, there will always be a way to break through them.

Otherwise, how would Luffy become the Pirate King?

"Understood, Boss!"

Abel nodded seriously.

"Well then, be careful—well, it might be quite easy."

Bart Island is an island not far from the waters off Beehive Island.

This is a non- World Government Member States, and perhaps it can no longer be called a country at this point. It is too far from paradise and too close to Beehive Island.

Order had long since collapsed, and the entire country had long since become a hunting ground for pirates.

It was only in recent years, Ochoku restored order to the surrounding waters and acted like a lord, that the island was able to recover some of its vitality.

At this moment, on the east side of the dilapidated city on the island, in an unremarkable little house.

Stussy had already professionally changed into a simple dress, her brilliant blonde hair was covered by a hood, and her beautiful face looked dull and dirty because of the makeup.

She was talking to the Divine Knight through Den Den Mushi. "Yes, Lord Thomas, he said he'll be here soon. You can get ready."

"Okay, do your best."

The other side gave this reply.

Stussy waited patiently until the Divine Knight on the other end of the phone hung up before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, the woman sighed with a bitter smile.

Being a triple agent is really tough.

Now all we can do is pray that Roa wins; otherwise, if he loses, he will definitely betray us without hesitation.

That's just the kind of person he is.

Ultimately, if they knew how terrifying the Divine Knight were, why did they willingly offer themselves up?

That's just creating trouble for yourself!

Stussy had no one to confide in about his resentment.

Doctor, perhaps it would have been better if I hadn't been created in the first place.

Time slowly passed amidst Stussy's self-pity, until finally...

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Is Aunt Stussy home?

A cheerful, youthful voice rang out, "The mercenaries you ordered have arrived."

It's here!

Stussy took a deep breath, her sorrowful expression instantly transforming into one of panic. She rushed to the door and flung it open.

"You've finally arrived, Roa!"

Looking down at the woman before him, whose face was filled with panic, Roa couldn't help but feel amazed.

Even with makeup deliberately applied to conceal her appearance, her pitiful and broken expression still managed to make any man who saw her sway.

Not good!

Hormones are kicking in!

Is the smaller head about to start directing the larger head?

Is this what puberty is like?

Not bad.

"You look so disheveled!"

However, since they were putting on an act, Roa casually lifted Stussy's chin, his tone mocking, "The Stussy I remember has always been glamorous."

Stussy's acting skills far surpassed Roa's. He slightly turned his face, revealing a look of utter humiliation. "What happened in the past was influenced by Whitebeard. I'm sorry, Roa! You must help me this time!"

"You've already given me a Mythical Zoan, of course I'll help you."

Roa grinned and spread out his right hand. "Where's the fruit?"

You must ensure I get through this crisis first!

Stussy argued forcefully, "Otherwise, how would I know—"

"Oh! You keep saying sorry, but you still don't believe me?"

Roa shrugged. "Then there's nothing to discuss. I always charge upfront."

Stussy's expression changed.

Then, at this moment.

"Hahaha! It's finally here! The Calamity Roa! I've been looking for you for so long!"

A figure crashed through the wall behind Stussy and appeared before Roa amidst a cloud of dust.

"Oh? What does that mean?"

As Roa sized up the man, she asked knowingly, "What do you mean by 'looked for me for a long time'? Aunt Stussy, shouldn't you explain to me whether I fell for your trap?"

He was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He was about three meters tall, quite strong, and his white suit was stained with dust. His short black hair stood up like steel nails, and he had an excited smile on his face.

As expected of Divine Knight, his appearance and attire are completely different from those of Celestial Dragons in the conventional sense.

As for the CP members who came in with this guy, Roa simply ignored them. They were just a bunch of scum. As long as the leader of CP0 didn't personally come, Roa wouldn't even give them a second glance.

At this moment, Stussy's act continued. The woman's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and she instinctively grabbed Roa's sleeve. "No! I don't know what happened either! Roa, you have to believe me!"

"Stussy, we really should thank you."

At this moment, a CP0 officer Stussy in with a cold laugh, "Our target was Roa. We originally wanted to extract his whereabouts from you, but we didn't expect you to directly ask him for help! Very well, you've saved us a lot of trouble!"

"Oh! So, I really was implicated?"

Roa nodded repeatedly, "Did you hear that, Aunt Stussy? You've gotten me into trouble, I need to pay more!"

"Let's talk about this later!"

Stussy had already discreetly hidden behind Roa.

"Alright, enough of this boring nonsense."

Divine Knight Thomas looked at Roa with great interest. "Hehe, Roa, right? The following news might be a bit too shocking for you. Be prepared."

That sounds like a familiar sales pitch.

I can't possibly have a second uncle who left me 20 billion, can I? You can't possibly be my mistress, can you?

"Oh? Really? Please wait a moment, I'll adjust it."

Roa cooperated by taking deep breaths to adjust his mindset, then patted his face before speaking with a serious expression.

"Alright! I'm ready, go ahead and say it!"

"Hahaha! Interesting lad!"

Thomas laughed heartily, "Since you experienced the God Valley Incident seven years ago, you must know about our Knights of God, right?"

"Your Knights of God?"

Roa's eyes widened again in surprise, "You're the Divine Knight?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Topman Saint Thomas!"

Thomas grinned, "From the Topman Family!"

The Topman Family?

Roa knew that this family was far more prestigious than the Donquixote Family, which was full of good-for-nothings.

One of the current Five Elders, and most likely the strongest among them, the boar Warcury is from the Topman Family.

"I'll get straight to the point."

Thomas said, "The higher-ups sent me to invite you to join the Knights of God. Be overjoyed, mortal!"

"You have received God's approval; you can not only become a new Celestial Dragons, but also one of us."

As he said this, the other couples behind him all cast envious glances at Roa.

Those are Celestial Dragons, those are Divine Knight!

"Ah?"

But Roa was genuinely taken aback by what this guy said.

Not only him, but even Stussy stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

No way?

Is this the true purpose of this Divine Knight' journey?

They've come to invite Roa to become the new Divine Knight?

Have the Celestial Dragons gone mad?

Have you forgotten how many Celestial Dragons Roa killed in God Valley seven years ago?

Furthermore, is it possible for Celestial Dragons to become Divine Knight?

Could there be outsiders among the current Divine Knight?

Compared to Stussy, Roa was also surprised, but to a much lesser degree, since he knew that Loki had also received an invitation from the Knights of God in the original story.

However, Roa also found it utterly absurd that he had received an invitation as well.

He couldn't help but ask, somewhat curiously, "You should know what I did in God Valley seven years ago, right?"

No, is Imu really that magnanimous?

"That kind of guy is dead, so be it."

Thomas said, seemingly unconcerned, "There are class differences even among the Celestial Dragons. If you accept the invitation to become the new Divine Knight, then they will have died a worthy death."

Wow.

It seems there are some sharp conflicts within the Celestial Dragons.

Roa was speechless.

"But,"

Thomas's eyes turned cold. "If you refuse, you'll have to pay for their deaths with your own!"

"So,"

Roa Mosso, whose chin was already showing faint stubble, asked, "What can I get?"

Honestly, if he really did start out as Celestial Dragons, he would have already taken off long ago.

Who could be exposed to more dark energy than the Celestial Dragons?

"All of this!"

Thomas laughed loudly, clenching his fist as if he were grasping the entire world. "Wealth, power, status, prestige! Everything you can imagine, plus power you can't even imagine! You can have it all!"

"That sounds really good."

Roa nodded slowly.

"Then what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and come back to Mary Geoise with me!"

Thomas said matter-of-factly.

Everything went smoothly!

This is only natural!

Who could refuse to become the new Celestial Dragons?

"Um, can I not go to Mary Geoise?"

Roa tentatively suggested, "Let me stay on the sea, hmm, as an outer elder of the Knights of God."

What are you saying?!

Thomas was instantly enraged. "You've become a knight of the gods, how dare you linger in the mortal realm? Associating with ants? Do you want to disgrace the name of us Divine Knight?"

"That's such a pity."

Roa sighed deeply, "Because I have a disease that will kill me if I go to Mary Geoise, I refuse."

Just kidding, if I went to Mary Geoise, I'd definitely get marked by Imu.

Roa didn't want to end up like the Five Elders, with his life taken by Imu's mere thought.

Although it's not yet possible to prove whether Satan was killed outright or died of old age after losing his immortality, it doesn't really matter, right? Roa wouldn't gamble on that.

"What did you say?"

Thomas doubted he had heard correctly.

The couples who followed him were also incredulous.

Did you hear that right?

You must have misheard. How could anyone possibly --

Roa's face seemed to harden at that moment, tilting his head slightly to face Thomas with his sharply defined profile.

"Roa I love to do most is talk to arrogant people,"

"No!"

"Then you should just die!"

Without any hesitation, Thomas lunged directly at Roa.

The creature's body swelled up in an instant, brown feathers grew out of its body, its hands turned into a pair of huge wings, and its feet turned into bird claws.

He transformed into a bird, a bird with a wingspan exceeding thirty meters.

The giant bird had two pairs of wings, and most importantly, its body was covered in a large amount of lightning!

Mythical Zoan.

Tsk, the Celestial Dragons have way too many resources at their disposal. Is every member of the Knights of God Mythical Zoan?

But what kind of ability is this, Inazuma form? But the color is wrong.

However, it would be great if he were an ability user.

Roa also instantly entered orc form and launched himself directly at the giant bird.

"Thunder!!"

With a sharp roar, the giant bird unleashed thousands of bolts of lightning from its body, raining down on Roa like a storm.

"How arrogant! Has he never read the navy's battle reports?"

Roa chuckled softly.

So, you're playing with fire, aren't you?

The falling lightning exploded in the next instant, turning into specks of light that scattered across the sky.

At this moment, Roa had already closed in, his right hand transforming into a palm blade, and thrusting directly towards the large bird's chest.

If he were a normal person, he would have already run away, but Thomas is the Divine Knight! The most courageous Divine Knight!

Completely ignoring Roa's attack, the sharp beak, now covered in dark Haki, lowered its head and pecked at Roa.

This is the confidence that his immortality gives him.

Then, Roa's right hand pierced Thomas's chest with unstoppable force.

There was absolutely no defense; it was completely exposed and allowed to attack freely.

Wealthy and generous.

"Forehead!!"

Suddenly, the Haki on the Divine Knight's beak vanished, its body went limp, its massive form rapidly shrank, and it fell from the sky as an ordinary human again.

"Saint Thomas?"

The couples looked completely bewildered.

"Seastone?!"

Thomas, slumped on the ground, looked up at Roa in disbelief.

Roa landed lightly on the ground, shrugged, and sighed, "I've carried it with me for a long time, but I've never had a chance to use it."

"Thank you, it's finally no longer a harmless bullet."

In an instant, the outcome was decided.

That's why Roa said it might be easy.
