Experiment! Weakness! Planetary Devastation!

As we all know, these guys with absolute defense or immortality have a bad habit: they always like to let their opponents attack them, in order to demonstrate their tolerance for mistakes.

It seems like doing this is arrogant and cool.

So, on the way here, after recalling the fighting styles of the Five Elders from the original story, Roa brought along a Seastone bullet.

This thing is obviously useless to top-tier ability users.

However, for those who like to show off in front of others, they can probably be considered a natural counter!

Does he like to pretend?

Do you like to demonstrate tolerance for mistakes?

Go talk to my Seastone!

Ultimately, if you can't counter the opponent's abilities, isn't it just something only a fool would do to fight an immortal enemy head-on?

Moreover, Thomas is very strong.

Extremely strong.

"Roa!!"

Thomas's body was weak and powerless; even with his immortality, he could not resist the restraint that the highest purity Seastone had on a Devil Fruit user.

The noble Divine Knight could only lie weakly on the ground, tumbling about, and even trying to show an angry expression required a great deal of effort.

You're so cute and adorable!

We're all Mythical Zoan users, can't we have a thrilling, high-octane 1v1 real man's battle?

What are you saying?

Roa asked with some surprise, "Are you calling a pirate—no, a merchant—despicable?"

As we all know, real business warfare is all about simplicity and brutality; whatever is convenient, quick, and lethal is the way to go.

"Luckily I brought Seastone, and luckily you're an Ability User, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to deal with someone like you who's practically immortal."

Yes!

This guy saw the Divine Knight in God Valley; he knows about the existence of immortality!

That's incredibly unlucky!

Thomas gritted his teeth. How could this bastard have to happen to have Seastone on him?

Almost instantly, realizing something was wrong, the CP0 members rushed towards Thomas like madmen.

How could things have gotten to this point!

The noble Divine Knight was taken down by Roa in an instant!

Saint Thomas must be freed immediately, or they will all die here!

Roa's power is beyond their ability to contend with!

But.

Boom!

Boom!

Two loud explosions.

The enormous mercury fist and the surging Flame Dragon instantly blasted them all away.

Behind Roa, Bullet and Abel launched themselves forward, chasing directly after the CPs.

Be careful.

Watching them walk away, Roa gave them a word of advice.

The other small fry are manageable, but those two CP0 executives are quite powerful.

Then, Roa strolled up to Thomas.

"How does it feel to look up to them, Divine Knight?"

"Roa!"

Thomas stared intently at Roa, "Don't be so arrogant! Since you know we're immortal, you should understand that no matter what methods you use, they won't work on me!"

"That's all talk, but don't pull any dirty tricks."

Roa reprimanded him with a stern face.

The wall next to them collapsed with a crash.

On the ground outside the wall, dark patterns were spreading, seemingly about to form a magic circle.

However, at this moment, the ground began to crack and weather, causing the half-formed magic circle to vanish into thin air.

"You don't think I didn't see the Five Elders' teleportation array back in God Valley, do you? That giant bird even tried to teleport in front of me to intercept me back then."

Roa asked, somewhat surprised, "If you really wanted to call someone, you should have done it sooner."

Thomas's face froze instantly.

We're truly at a loss now!

He couldn't move, and he had no chance to call for help. CP0 was definitely no match for this guy in front of him.

Doesn't this mean we can only wait for Mary Geoise to realize something's wrong and summon him back?

Thomas's flustered gaze darted around, then landed on Stussy standing behind Roa.

Yes! And this woman too!

Stussy noticed his gaze, his expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward.

But Roa turned around instantly, "Auntie, what do you want to do? This guy is my prisoner."

"No, I, I was just curious..."

Stussy stuttered as he stepped back.

Thomas's eyes dimmed again. Yes, this woman couldn't possibly save him by force.

She could only look for opportunities.

"I was already very curious back in God Valley. Is your immortality truly immortal in the absolute sense?"

Roa looked down at Thomas with eager eyes, "Let me verify this properly."

"Hey! Mortal! What do you intend to do to a great Divine Knight!"

Thomas, all bluster and no substance, said, "I advise you to calm down! Otherwise, I'll definitely not let you off the hook!"

"Don't bluff; that will only expose your incompetence."

Roa casually repeated a famous line, flicking his finger slightly.

Thomas, lying on the ground, had a small volcano erupting beneath his right leg.

Wow!

The surging lava engulfed his right leg, and before he could take any defensive action, it melted away in just a few breaths.

Will it hurt?

Roa looked at Thomas, who was slightly grimacing.

Then.

Black matter material materialized out of thin air from the severed part of Thomas's right leg, forming a new right leg like drifting catkins.

"Tsk."

Seven years later, seeing this scene again, Roa couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

That's cheating!

Are you demi-humans?

Even if it's suppressed by Seastone, does that not hinder recovery at all?

It's an ability that seems to belong to a completely different system than Devil Fruit.

Lao Tzu said—

Just as Thomas was about to say something, Roa stomped on his head and crushed it.

Will there be any impact if I don't have a brain?

As it turned out, no. In the blink of an eye, accompanied by the condensation of black matter, Thomas's mind quickly returned to normal, and the half-finished sentence he hadn't finished uttered came out smoothly.

"--But, our immortality is absolute!"

If it can recover even after its head is blown apart, then no matter how much damage is done to other parts of its body, it shouldn't make much of a difference.

Ultimately, the source of this immortality is not the Divine Knight themselves, but Imu behind them. It is a passive ability that does not require them to actively activate it.

Thomas looked up at Roa with a hint of provocation in his eyes. "See that? Kid, this is the power we Divine Knight possess. Now you know what you've refused!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you prisoner?"

Roa stomped on the guy's head and crushed it.

It truly is immortal; aside from needing some time to recover, it shows absolutely no weaknesses.

It's pretty much the same as the Impure World Reincarnation in the next shed.

But there are no sealing techniques in this world.

"Hahahaha! Impotent rage, utterly meaningless, Roa!"

Thomas laughed loudly, "You'll regret it now! I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Roa looked at the guy, and he really wasn't afraid at all.

Is it because they can be teleported away at any time?

Although I really want to take this guy back so that Judge study him properly, I'm afraid I don't have the time.

So let's use the simplest and most direct method.

"There is no such thing as a perfect ability in the world."

Roa looked at Thomas and said slowly, "Even your immortality has some kind of weakness."

"Snort!"

Thomas responded with a sneer, "Stop daydreaming. Our abilities are truly flawless!"

However, Roa curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "I knew it would taste like a lie. Even you have weaknesses."

Language can deceive, facial expressions can deceive, but the emotions surging deep within one's heart cannot lie.

Roa saw it very clearly.

Thomas's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly, then he continued to sneer, "Idiot, you must have lost your mind! Our abilities are the most perfect!"

"Seastone has been proven ineffective, so is it some kind of Devil Fruit power?"

Roa didn't bother to answer Thomas at all, and just started talking to himself.

"Oh, wait, is that some kind of special weapon? Legendary Demon King always needed specific weapons to defeat them."

"No, that's not right either. Your abilities are somewhat like legendary magic. Do you need corresponding magic to break your immortality?"

"Not yet,"

Roa sighed.

If only Red were still here, there would be no need for me to go through this brute-force method; a simple memory read would have solved everything.

Thomas, however, was somewhat bewildered.

Is this guy really insane?

What was he muttering to himself?

"Is that... Haki?"

Roa continued, "Haki is used to counter the power of Devil Fruit. If your abilities come from a Devil Fruit, then Haki should be able to counter them."

To be honest, when Roa talked about Haki, he didn't have much hope. Luffy's Haki on Bullet Island was useless against the Five Elders, and Aunt Linlin's Conqueror's Coating attack in God Valley was also ineffective.

But.

"Snort."

Thomas snorted coldly.

Roa's eyes lit up immediately, "You're nervous! Is that really Haki?"

"..."

Thomas's expression finally changed slightly.

No, is this guy reading his mind?

In that case--

"Oh! I'm getting more and more nervous!"

Roa smirked. "I see. So it really is the most common Haki? Then, is it Armament Haki? Observation Haki?"

Thomas gritted his teeth, trying to think of random things. He decisively began to curse Figarland Gehring in his mind. It was all that bastard's fault for sending him here, otherwise how would he have ended up in such an embarrassing situation?

However, the more you try to control your emotions, the less control you have over them.

"Of course, it's Conqueror's Haki."

Roa raised the corners of his mouth. "In the end, it all comes down to the Conqueror's Haki."

"But here's the question: why didn't Aunt Linlin's Conqueror's Conqueror's Haki work on the Five Elders seven years ago?"

Although he fled in such a hurry that he didn't get to see the battle Knights of God on the central battlefield, Roa did see the battle between Linlin and the Five Elders.

"Is it because Conqueror's Haki isn't strong enough?"

Roa looked at Thomas carefully.

Thomas's inner curses had shifted from Gehring to Roa.

"Or is it simply that Aunt Linlin's Conqueror's Coating techniques are still insufficient?"

"I see,"

Roa had already gleaned the answer from the negative emotions surging within Thomas: "Is it both?"

He nodded slightly in satisfaction. "So, this is all there is to the Divine Knight?"

I thought weaknesses would be hard to find, but this is all?

Those who possess Conqueror's Haki are already one in a million, and those who can truly master Conqueror's Coating are probably fewer than twenty in the entire ocean. It is a high-level technique that only true powerhouses can master.

However, among the very few who have mastered the art of Conqueror's Coating, pirates make up a large portion.

No wonder the Divine Knight rarely wander onto the sea.

I wonder if Golden Lion knows about this. It's better if he doesn't, but if he does know and doesn't tell me, that would be too stingy!

Just as Roa was feeling pleased, Thomas's gaze towards him turned almost murderous. "You ant!!"

Damn it, he leaked the secret!

If Boss Imu finds out about this, he's in big trouble, isn't he?

Thank you for clarifying my question.

Roa thanked him sincerely, "This is really important to me."

If the Conqueror's Coating can handle the Divine Knight, what else is there to fear?

Roa felt that he was very close to achieving Conqueror's Haki, especially after his previous battle with Red.

He was only lacking a little control to begin with, and after mastering the internal destructive Armament Haki, he was already very close.

"As a reward, I'll let you experience the new move I just came up with."

Roa bent down and grabbed Thomas, then looked up at the battlefield where Barrett and Bullet were fighting.

The colossal Mercury Giant was relentlessly swinging its enormous fists, while Abel, transformed into a tengu, was also indiscriminately unleashing massive dragons of wind and fire.

Their opponents, CP, are now down to just two dead—two CP0 executives.

It must be said that their strength is quite formidable. Both are Ancient Zoan Fruit users, one being an ancient rhinoceros and the other a Stegosaurus. Combined with their powerful Haki and the honed Six Powers, they fought fiercely against Bullet.

Roa estimated that if there were no outside interference, they could fight for several days without a clear winner.

So.

"Oi, look this way."

Roa called out.

As the two CP0 agents looked over, he casually crushed Thomas's head.

"Saint Thomas!"

The two Celestial Dragons' pet dogs' expressions changed drastically in an instant.

It was in that instant that my mind was thrown into turmoil.

"Ultimate Heavy Cannon!!"

A fist as big as a small mountain smashed the rhinoceros into the ground.

"The Blade Twin Emperors!"

At the same time, the blade, wreathed in flames and gales, suddenly tore through the sky, and with the enhancement of the Tengu Fruit's slashing ability, it instantly cleaved open the Ankylosaurus's shell, creating a huge wound.

The battle is over.

"Alright, Bullet, Abel, go back to heaven."

Roa.

"Yes."

Although neither of them had a proper fight, it was the Boss's order.

Bullet turned into steam, and Abel flapped his wings and flew into the sky.

Their opponents, however, were still incapacitated. Those who had been driven underground struggled to crawl out, while those who had been cleaved in two by a single blow used their Life Return forcefully rejoin the sky.

"Roa!"

Thomas's head had been repaired again. He sneered, "Don't waste your time, you can't do anything to me!"

"Try again."

They are indeed very troublesome; not only are they immortal, but they can also be teleported back at any time.

They can't kill them, and they can't keep them alive.

There wasn't even time to experiment with methods like starving or suffocating him if he couldn't be killed by external force.

Once Mary Geoise realizes what's happening, they can teleport Thomas back at any time.

It's so annoying.

But Roa wondered, could there be limitations to teleportation?

If Thomas remains in a non-human form, will he still be able to be teleported back?

Roa decided to give it a try.

A soft snap of the fingers.

A huge meteorite crashed down from the sky.

"Hahahaha! Idiot, you think you can kill me with a meteorite?"

Thomas burst into laughter.

Forget meteorites, even if Roa smashed the moon down, he wouldn't care.

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning."

Roa took a deep breath.

Fortunately, the concentration of black energy on this island was very high; otherwise, I would have really collapsed after using this move.

"Um?"

Thomas noticed something strange: the falling meteorite in the sky was shrinking rapidly!

What's the meaning?

Go!

Roa hurled Thomas at the falling, shrinking meteorite.

"Saint Thomas!"

The two heavily injured CP0 members were overjoyed and immediately used Geppo to head towards Thomas.

At that moment, Roa grabbed Stussy and launched him into the air, shouting, "Run! Run! Disaster is coming!"

Thomas's astonishment deepened.

In the instant he approached, the meteorite had shrunk to the point that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Then, it disappeared completely.

I can't see anything anymore!

The light was slightly swallowed up and could not be reflected into a person's eyes, so Thomas could not see it.

The meteorite had shrunk to a tiny, tiny, tiny point.

As a result, space itself began to collapse, and the final outcome was...

"Wow!!"

Thomas screamed as a powerful force, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, instantly pulled him towards them.

The body was instantly twisted and deformed under the immense force of compression, then exploded, forcibly crushed into a sphere by an invisible force, and continued to be compressed.

The two CP0 agents who wanted to save him were also unable to resist this force and were pulled over as well. Under the powerful gravitational suppression, they couldn't even move, which added two more layers to the sphere that Thomas had become.

Then.

The ground began to shake, and houses, trees, and even the earth itself began to shatter, being forcibly pulled into the sky by a powerful force.

Large quantities of rock and earth blocks began to be forcibly kneaded together by a powerful force.

In the blink of an eye, a huge sphere appeared in the sky.

"This--"

Stussy was dumbfounded.

What is this?

Roa raised the corners of his mouth, "A superminiature black hole, or rather,"

"Planetary Devastation!"
