Ochoku is going to fight the Calamity Roa!

The news spread throughout Beehive Island almost instantly.

The pirates on the island immediately erupted in excitement.

However, the pirates' excitement wasn't about immediately witnessing the battle of the former Rocks Pirates' officers; it was fear.

The last time the Rocks Pirates' executives clashed was when their leader, Ochoku Zhi, faced off against Golden Lion.

In that battle, half of Beehive Island was destroyed, and countless people died.

Therefore, upon learning that the monsters were about to wage war on the island again, a large number of pirates instantly began to flee in terror.

But of course, the world is never short of those headstrong fools who knowingly venture into dangerous territory.

"Croak! To witness a battle between titans, even death would be worth it!"

Shouting these slogans, the pirates gathered towards the place where the battle was about to take place.

It's located on a deserted coastline of Beehive Island. Compared to the golden beaches in other areas, this place is rugged with jagged rocks and reefs, making it not a fun place.

"Oh! I miss this place too."

Roa looked around at the scene, his expression somewhat wistful.

When he was a child, he often came here to fish with Katakuri because it was a quiet place.

And now, those two laughing little figures have become big names in the New World.

"Is that so?"

Ochoku thoughtfully suggested, "How about we go somewhere else?"

"No need."

Roa smiled. "Where on this entire island doesn't hold memories of the past?"

Memories are worth cherishing, but we must always look forward.

"That's good."

Ochoku raised his hand, unbuttoned his collar, and loosened his tie slightly. "After all, if we get serious, it wouldn't be surprising if we sank Beehive Island."

"Is that so?"

Roa's lips curled into a slight smile. "Then I don't mind."

"You brat!"

Ochoku wasn't annoyed at all; instead, his smile grew even brighter.

That little kid everyone was looking forward to back then has really grown up now.

"Then, Roa, let me experience it for myself."

Ochoku lowered his center of gravity, his right hand extended forward in a claw shape, his left hand clenched into a fist and pulled back, both hands completely black, already in a fighting stance. "Just how much power do you possess now!"

He was just so curious!

Just how far has Roa, who was unmatched since childhood, evolved?

Since the atmosphere is harmonious and there is no risk of a complete falling out, we should seize this opportunity to see for ourselves!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Roa's hands also turned completely black, and he struck the same pose as Ochoku, "I haven't forgotten."

"Hahaha! Very good, come on, let me test whether you've slacked off all these years."

Ochoku waved to Roa Ya.

"Well then, here I come!"

The yellow sand suddenly billowed up, Roa shattered the solid ground beneath his feet, shooting out like a bolt of black Inazuma.

Not far away, the pirates who had come to watch the battle cheered instantly.

"Go for it, Ochoku!"

"Lord Roa, don't lose!!"

The main focus is on maintaining a balanced approach.

But their cheers came too slowly; so slowly that they only managed to utter their first word when Roa's fist was about to smash into Ochoku's face.

However, there are those even faster than Roa's fist.

Ochoku's right hand, as sharp as a venomous snake, snapped shut on Roa's wrist. Then, with a twist of his body, he used the momentum to fling Roa away.

"Not fast enough, Roa."

The voice sounded behind Roa.

Roa glanced back slightly, and a downward kick, as sharp as a battle axe, crashed down on him.

"So fast!"

Abel, watching the game, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so fast my eyes can't keep up!"

"Mr. Ochoku is skilled in a very special kind of boxing."

"Add to that his unparalleled power of the Three Types of Haki, and he's definitely a true powerhouse!" Dylan commented.

Ochoku is indeed very strong, but Roa is not just a name without substance.

Just as he was about to be hit, he stepped on the air with his right foot, and his body suddenly sprang forward.

Geppo!

Having seen the navy use it so many times, they had naturally already learned it, and it wasn't a particularly difficult move to master.

By continuously stomping on the air, Roa refracted the air and even kicked out a huge vacuum wave.

Storm kick!

"Kid, is this what you call not having forgotten?"

Ochoku, like a jet-black missile, directly shattered the vacuum wave thrown out by Roa, and grabbed at Roa with his large hand.

His Haki solidified into a form in that instant, transforming into a jet-black eagle claw that reached out to grab Roa.

"Oh!!"

Roa suddenly raised his voice, "I've always thought this move is super cool!"

The secret technique that Ochoku possesses allows his Haki to undergo a special transformation, almost like it has materialized!

This is not an unbelievable thing. In the special episode of the original work, Marine Vice Admiral Kongming has the ability to condense Armament Haki into a long sword.

The move Ochoku is using now, the Dragon-Capturing Hand, is...

Roa slammed his fist into the shattering of the Haki claw.

Yes, he does look very handsome, but without the support of physical strength, mere Haki isn't enough.

But at the same moment, above, Ochoku had already thrown a punch.

Now, with the added advantage of physical strength...

The unseen giant swung a powerful punch; although only half of its pitch-black arm was visible in the air, it was still awe-inspiring enough.

Roa suddenly twisted his body and crossed his arms to block.

Boom!

He was struck down from the sky by a massive, dark fist and crashed heavily onto the shore.

The rocky coastline shattered instantly; even the aftershocks of Roa's fall had already spread out large cracks.

"That guy!"

Bullet's gaze, which was watching the battle, suddenly turned dangerous.

"He's another monster after all."

Moria muttered to himself.

He'd only been in the New World for a short time since arriving from the West Blue, yet he'd already encountered countless super-powerful experts he never even dared to dream of before?

"But is this a martial art?"

Doflamingo was dumbfounded. "Haki can be used like this?"

Ochoku landed casually beside the large crater Roa had created. "Roa, I'm not so old that I need you to go easy on me."

He's certainly not old at all; he's only a few years older than Charlotte Linlin, and he's just over forty, right in the prime of his life.

"Sorry, sorry, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Within the enormous crater, Roa, transformed into a jet-black tiger-man, slowly flapped his wings and rose into the air.

That's impressive, Uncle Ochoku.

He truly is a master of Conqueror's Haki's Haki! And that's in addition to his unique fighting style.

No wonder it was able to occupy Beehive Island for over thirty years without anyone being able to challenge it.

But... it seems I'm still a bit short of Rayleigh and Jabba's level.

If that's the case, it seems there's no need to draw the sword.

Roa landed slowly, slamming his fists heavily onto the ground.

Boom!

Lava splashed.

"Um?"

Ochoku's gaze froze slightly.

It wasn't surprising that Roa could summon a volcano, but what he saw was that Roa actually put his hand into the surging lava!

When Roa raised his fists, they were covered in a layer of lava, making them look like ferocious fists.

Then, blazing flames rose from the lava gauntlets, with thunder rumbling and winds howling between the leaping flames.

"Annihilation of the Four Directions - Fist of Calamity!"

Roa lowered his body slightly, his wings fluttering high behind him. "Alright, Uncle Ochoku, the second round begins!"

"Bring it on!"

Ochoku's fists flared with Haki, making him appear even more like Black Arm than Zephyr at this moment.

Rub!

The air was instantly pierced by the scorching fist. Ochoku's pupils contracted. So fast! In an instant, the fist was almost about to smash into his face!

However, "almost" means "not yet!"

"Drink!"

With a roar, Ochoku stomped his right foot on the ground, the powerful force causing the ground to crack instantly. The power was transmitted through the spinal dragon to his right arm, and the master of Beehive Island unleashed a merciless punch.

Boom!!

Black and crimson, two fists collided heavily, and Haki Inazuma suddenly began to leap.

The shockwave from the collision alone was enough to blow away the pirates watching from afar, and in an instant, cries of agony filled the air.

Even so, some pirates still shouted, "That was awesome! What a battle!"

The ground around the two instantly shattered; even the reefs, weathered by countless years of wind and rain, were utterly vulnerable to the collision of the monsters.

This power!!

Ochoku's face was full of amazement. In terms of physical strength alone, she was much stronger than him!

If it weren't for his overwhelming Haki, which had already widened the gap between him and Roa, he would probably have been sent flying by a single punch by now.

But.

Is that all?

Roa's lips curled into a smile. "Then it seems that I am stronger!"

Suddenly, a volcanic eruption occurred at the elbow of the fist, which was covered by the Magma Fist. With a second burst of force, the fist sent Ochoku flying!

Now, every punch Roa is as ferocious as Akainu's, like a volcanic eruption!

"That kid,"

Ochoku landed heavily on the ground, his right fist bearing some burn marks. "Her abilities, Haki, and physical skills have been perfectly integrated?"

"Not bad, right?"

Roa launched himself forward, unleashing the Volcanic Fist once more.

"Hand chop!"

Ochoku raised his right hand high like a knife, then slashed down.

Then, a jet-black arm formed from Haki slammed down from the sky with a powerful chop.

Hundred-Style Guanyin? Netero, are you?

Roa froze for a moment, then shattered the Haki arm with a backhand punch.

"Cut!"

Ochoku gripped his hands loosely and chopped with all his might.

The Haki extending from his arms transformed into two arms, and with a grab of his two large hands, he conjured a jet-black greatsword out of thin air, slashing it towards Roa.

"This has absolutely nothing to do with martial arts anymore!"

Roa's lips twitched slightly.

He didn't learn these things from Ochoku when he was a child!

It's just some basic boxing routines.

That damned Deng, holding back, huh?

Since that's the case.

"Me too!"

The lava gauntlets instantly expanded, transforming into two enormous lava arms, from which a lava greatsword was drawn.

Boom!!

The sword of lava clashed with the sword of Haki, and in an instant, there was another earth-shattering roar.

For a moment, the entire Beehive Island seemed to be shaking.

"Hahaha! It's actually that powerful!"

Ochoku's emotions had also become completely excited, and he swung his fists repeatedly, his huge fists, formed from his Haki, slamming down one after another.

Roa, naturally unafraid, countered with his own lava fist.

The coastline had completely collapsed; the two attacks hadn't even landed on the ground, and the mere aftershocks of their clash had already shattered everything.

"If that's all, it's not even worth three billion, Roa!"

Ochoku said provocatively, "Isn't it time to draw your sword?"

Very strong!

The power that Roa is now displaying is already very close to his.

But is this all of Roa's power?

"In that case, you'd better be prepared for this attack!"

Roa finally drew his sword.

The lava surged and roared once more, transforming in the blink of an eye into a lava giant hundreds of meters tall.

"Tsk!"

Ochoku looked up at the lava giant who held his crimson longsword high in the air.

"So, they've been holding back even greater power?"

The powerful Blood Qi released by Tiger Soul and the pseudo- Conqueror's Coating transformed by Enma.

Two powerful forces were then injected into the massive blade.

"The Five Realms Annihilation!"

The giant blade cleaved down!

Ochoku made no attempt to dodge and sprang into the air.

A dark, Haki enveloped him, forming an illusory half-giant.

At that moment, the giant swung his jet-black right fist.

Wow, this is a true Susanoo!

With Roa's astonishment, the broadsword slammed heavily into Ochoku's Haki fist.

Boom!!

The Air Shock.

The seawater along the coast was rushing backward, and even the coconut trees in the distance were uprooted and blown away.

The buildings on the island not far away collapsed and were destroyed by the shockwave, creating an apocalyptic scene everywhere.

But at this moment, Ochoku's expression suddenly changed.

Such power!!

"Fall down!!"

Roa laughed loudly.

The black giant's fist gradually collapsed, and a huge arc of light suddenly streaked across the sky.

Boom!!

A dark shadow plummeted to the ground, crashing into the earth and creating a bottomless crater, further intensifying the earthquake on Beehive Island.

"That should be enough, right?"

The fire giant dissipated, and Roa slowly lowered his wings.

"Uncle Ochoku, are you still alive?"

I'm not that fragile.

A dark figure leaped out of the pit and landed lightly in front of Roa.

Ochoku's clothes were tattered, and his exposed skin bore the marks of burns.

But overall, there's nothing seriously wrong.

His Haki is indeed incredibly strong, and his defensive capabilities are exceptionally powerful.

Looking at Roa, Ochoku's thoughts were complicated.

The figure of 3 billion is somewhat inflated, but not by much.

It has truly become that powerful.

If Roa were to go all out now, he would be slightly inferior to him.

Ochoku realized this.

"You little rascal, you're really being unreasonable."

It's even gotten to the point where it doesn't evoke feelings of jealousy anymore.

"In other words,"

Roa raised an eyebrow. "You're qualified to help me now, aren't you?"

Ochoku smiled nonchalantly, "Of course."

As a result, the loose pirate alliance expanded again.

"By the way, Uncle Ochoku,"

Roa asked casually, "What exactly is the principle behind your technique? How can you condense Haki to such an extent?"

They already have physical forms.

Ochoku gave Roa a deep look. "Isn't it incredible that flames, thunder, and gales can possess physical forms?"

Roa was slightly taken aback.

That's true.

How did I and Big Brother Kaido manage to do this? How did we use these elements as armor?

"The key lies in willpower."

Ochoku, "The government's Six Powers have a profound secret called Life Return, which uses willpower to control the body, and can even control every single hair at will."

"If that's the case, then using willpower to control Haki isn't so hard to understand, is it?"

Roa's eyes lit up instantly.

To reiterate, the willpower mentioned here is a real and tangible force in this world; it is a power of the mind.

The willpower that can resist Roa's emotional manipulation is not the same thing; that willpower is more akin to conviction.

Just as Ochoku said, the Life Return depends on this power.

According to Ochoku's theory, his and Big Brother Kaido's Gundams should also be products based on willpower.

In that case, using willpower to control Haki might actually be a viable strategy.

Your confidence is what makes you Haki, right?

I need to further strengthen my training in this area.

The Black Blade originally relied on willpower, but now it seems that this power can even amplify abilities and Haki!
