The Earth-Shaking Battle! Whitebeard Betrayed

Marco carefully observed the group of people behind Roa.

Mercury Barrett and Abel, the Devil's Descendant, are two key figures under Roa's command, needing no further introduction. Although their bounties haven't been updated in a long time, they have undoubtedly become even more powerful during this period, making them Roa's most trusted right-hand men.

Then there's Bloody Hand Dylan, a man who has followed Roa since the Rocks Pirates era, the head butler of the Calamity Company, and also a powerful monster!

Then came some guys whose names I couldn't recall. They all looked very young, and most of them couldn't even be called teenagers; they were practically children.

Those who can catch Roa's eye are certainly extraordinary. One can imagine how powerful the Calamity Company will become once these guys have grown up!

It seems they're really going to rival the Rocks Pirates of yesteryear!

Especially after Roa obtained the power of the giants of Elbaf!

Marco looked at the young giant standing directly behind Roa!

He has two horns on his head and looks about the same as a human boy in his early teens, but he is about 30 meters tall. According to his Pops, this is because he inherited the blood of the Ancient Giant Tribe and is a true monster born in the first place!

Marco still found it hard to believe. What kind of deal had Harald, the giant king who was said to be a confidant of even Rocks, made with Roa that would allow him to entrust his son to Roa? It couldn't be because Harald saw Roa as if he saw Rocks?

At last.

Marco's gaze lingered on the two giants behind Loki, who were even shorter than him.

Unlike the giant prince, these were adult giants, one wielding a battle axe and the other a giant sword; one was thinner and the other fatter.

Um?

What, does this look familiar?

Just as Marco was wondering what was going on, a gasp came from beside him. It was Vista, who was also looking at the two giants, but had already recognized them.

"Although they look much older and fatter than on the wanted posters, these two giants must be the captains of the Giant Soldier Pirates who roamed the seas seventy years ago, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy!!"

"Giant Soldier Pirates?"

Marco finally remembered why it felt so familiar!

They're the two captains of the Giant Soldier Pirates! A maritime legend from seventy years ago!!

Are you kidding me? They're not even dead, so why are they behind Roa?

Does Elbaf really trust Roa that much?

Just what kind of power has Roa gathered?!

Whitebeard's expression didn't change much upon hearing this, except that his eyebrows lowered slightly.

"Roa!"

He raised his voice, "Do you want to start a war with me here?"

Below, on the still-shaking shore, above the snail's head.

Roa raised the corners of his mouth and opened his arms. "Isn't it obvious? How can I allow someone else to sleep soundly beside my bed? Whitebeard uncle, you're too dangerous!"

"So, to deal with you, I've brought all my main fighting forces with me!"

Behind him, from the palace on the snail's back, black shadows shot out one after another, scattering like a swarm of bees along the shore, guarding their king.

"Oh! This is it!"

Loki stared in astonishment at these creatures, which, apart from having human faces, were essentially unrecognizable as human. Each one was in a bizarre posture, its body twisted, and it looked extremely terrifying.

"Those things from eight years ago!"

He was very impressed.

Eight years ago, Roa punished him twice. The first time was when he controlled these inhuman, ghostly things!

"They're all my Wailing Ghost."

Roa Ya smiled and said, "It's very interesting, isn't it?"

In fact, the Wailing Ghost Legion hasn't seen a large-scale increase in members for a long time, and its numbers remain below two hundred.

However, these guys gradually became less and less useful. Although there were quite a few Marine Vice Admiral, and even experts like Chinjao, the mass-produced Calamity Knights and the newly acquired giant legion were still much stronger than them.

However, of course, the Wailing Ghost Legion has one advantage: as long as Roa doesn't care about quality, their size can expand almost infinitely.

"Are you controlling ghosts? How can you control so many at once?"

Loki burst into laughter, "No wonder you sent out all the giant warriors so easily! You still had some in reserve!"

Whitebeard glanced at the monsters that had completely transcended the realm of humanity.

Back when he was with the Rocks Pirates, he had witnessed Roa transforming humans into demons under his control on several occasions.

This is Roa's disgusting ability; human suffering is his sustenance, and even humanity itself will become a weapon under his control!

Right now, among the various pirate factions in the New World, isn't there anyone with more power than Roa?

Even Shiki's bastard Flying Pirates are no match for Roa's Calamity Company!

Whitebeard slowly let out a sigh of relief.

If the Flying Pirates were in such a predicament, then the Whitebeard Pirates were even more vulnerable.

At the cadre level, they simply don't have the qualifications to fight them!

My only advantage is myself!

"Roa!"

Whitebeard Murakumogiri down heavily. "If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight to the bitter end!"

Boom!

The sea surface suddenly undulated like ocean waves, and the rock layers and soil crumbled.

Behind them, the actual sea was even more turbulent, with waves tens of meters high, as if they were about to swallow the whole world.

Oh?

Is their attitude really that strong?

On the contrary, it feels a bit off.

Roa smiled.

"Haha! Hey, is this the ability of that crescent-bearded guy?"

Loki laughed excitedly, "This guy seems incredibly powerful! My boss, can you handle him?"

"We can't win, but we won't lose either."

Roa answered casually.

Ignoring the group in Mary Geoise, Whitebeard, at forty-four years old, is definitely one of the strongest people on the seas.

In a one-on-one fight against him, he's probably still a bit lacking.

But as long as he doesn't want to die, Whitebeard won't be able to hurt him.

Haha! That's good!

Loki chuckled, "I don't want to be killed like this for no reason!"

"Who's the most powerful guy under that Moonbeard? Let me deal with him!"

Bullet suddenly turned around and looked at Loki with a very displeased expression.

This bastard not only acts casually and arrogantly in front of the boss, but he also wants to take my place!

"Oh?"

Roa glanced back at Loki, "Whatever."

I must say, it actually seems quite suitable.

Loki could actually put up a fight against Marco.

His strength is probably even greater than Marco's, after all, the Phoenix Fruit's amplification of physical strength isn't particularly powerful.

On the defensive end, Marco, at fifteen years old, couldn't possibly be that Haki, and Loki could easily withstand the attack thanks to his thick skin and tough build.

Of course, Loki would also be Phoenix against the Phoenix Fruit's cheat-like regenerative abilities.

Although there are numerical values, there is absolutely no underlying mechanism.

"Hehe, then what are we waiting for!"

Loki couldn't wait.

Behind him, Dorry and Brogy stood ready.

Although they didn't know what the Whitebeard Pirates meant in this era, they had heard Roa say with his own ears that he couldn't beat that man with the crescent-shaped beard.

This group of people is probably not simple!

We must protect Loki!

"Then, let's go!"

Roa laughed and raised his voice, "Whitebeard, let's fight!"

So, Whitebeard, it's time to tell us what you're really up to.

I don't want to fight, and I think you feel the same way.

"Then you'd better be prepared, you brat!"

Whitebeard's voice spread out in a mighty, resounding manner, accompanied by a powerful vibration, like a thunderclap.

"Prepare a group of people to come here, then leave all alone!"

"Oh?"

Roa raised the corners of his mouth, and said with great interest, "So you're threatening me now?"

"I know you don't care about the lives of your men at all,"

Whitebeard said, "However, if you think it's a good deal to exchange this country for your hard-earned subordinates, then..."

Then come on!

"Wow! This is really interesting!"

Roa couldn't help but laugh, "It's always me threatening others!"

The reversal of the Heavenly Stems is considered an error.

"Hey, you old Whitebeard man, aren't you afraid I'll kill all your children?"

Roa chuckled, "Well, incidentally, we could also sink this entire country to the bottom of the sea."

Do you think that those of us who are here would still fear death?

Marco roared, "Roa! Even if it means death, we will make you pay the price!"

Without a do-or-die determination, how could we possibly fight this monster!

"Oh my god! That's scary!"

Loki instantly shrank back, clicking his tongue, "I regret it! Let someone else deal with this guy!"

"This is really a headache."

Roa raised his hand and rubbed his chin.

It's definitely not worth it.

This country is almost useless to him except for yielding some black energy.

Even if they could wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates, if the cost was heavy losses of their subordinates and all they gained was an island, it would be a huge loss no matter how you looked at it.

Therefore, from the beginning he did not think that a battle would break out, which is why he carelessly sent out all the giant warriors.

Whitebeard had no intention of fighting him, and Roa also felt that the losses would be considerable if a war broke out.

However, the situation in this country is not as good as Whitebeard himself imagined.

"Whitebeard, why make things so tense? Can't you just obediently get out of this sea?"

Roa sighed. "Leaving now would at least be dignified."

"You think I'm joking with you?!"

Whitebeard's eyes suddenly widened, and an invisible aura surged forth.

As this surge of Armament Haki accompanied the earth, sky, sea, snails, and indeed everything in this region began to tremble!

"Wow! I'm shaking!!"

Enel suddenly screamed in alarm as his body was instantly transformed into Inazuma, constantly switching between solid and elemental forms. "What is this?!"

Doflamingo cried out in disbelief, "The heavens and the earth, and even we ourselves, are shaking!"

"It's Awakening!"

Abel's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Has Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening?"

The ability to directly influence the outside world is indeed a manifestation of the awakening of Paramecia Devil Fruit Awakening!

Roa raised an eyebrow. "Resonance?"

It seems a bit more troublesome than I imagined.

While the single-target damage might not be significantly increased, the area-of-effect damage is definitely maxed out.

Oh dear, if war breaks out now, I really don't know how many officers will survive, assuming Whitebeard will be ruthless towards his own men.

"Fight? No way!"

Whitebeard's roar shook the heavens and earth, "Roa, what is your answer!"

But Roa's smile grew even brighter. "Speaking of which, isn't that a bit too arrogant, Whitebeard?"

"What?"

Whitebeard was suddenly taken aback.

Arrogant?

What is that brat saying now?

Roa tilted his head and asked curiously, "This country is just your homeland. You are neither a king nor do you represent the will of the people. What right do you have to make decisions for the people of this island?"

"Or perhaps we should ask the people of this country. What if they want to join my demonic path and are unwilling to accept your protection?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Whitebeard roared, "I have no patience for your nonsense! Fight or retreat, there are only two options!"

"Is that so?"

Roa gestured to the side with his chin, "But it seems like they don't really think so."

"Pops!"

The angry Whitebeard heard Marco's slightly trembling voice beside his ear.

On one side of the gentle slope, a group of people were rapidly approaching.

The moment he saw the group of people clearly, Whitebeard's expression changed.

"Lord Roa! We're here to help you!"

This was a group of heavily armed men, their faces beaming with joy, shouting towards Roa below the gentle slope.

Whitebeard certainly remembered them; they were the former Sphinx Rebellion forces, and the chaos that erupted at Sphinx a year ago was caused by them!

The uprising was quelled long ago, and they promised not to cause any more trouble, didn't they?

Why are they here?

Why would they come to greet Roa?!

Even behind them were massive armies! At a glance, it seemed the entire nation's army was here!

What exactly happened?

An unprecedented rage surged within Whitebeard, and he roared uncontrollably at the group.

"What are you idiots doing! Don't you know what kind of insane monster Roa is?!"

"Of course we know what kind of person Lord Roa is!"

The former leader of the rebels, now leading the crowd, declared loudly, "He has come to change this country! He will make the Sphinx as famous as the Germa Kingdom!"

"Call out."

Upon hearing this, Roa couldn't help but whistle.

What did Morgans' men say to these people?

He had informed Roa of the situation in this country, saying that their spies in the country had developed a considerable force, which was why Roa had come over so leisurely. Without these guys, it would have been really difficult to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

But this is way too exaggerated; these guys have been completely fooled.

The organization that Morgans set up to gather intelligence is now proving to be working much better than expected.

"Idiot!!"

Whitebeard was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and the officers behind him also looked furious.

"Do you think you know Roa better than I do?!"

"Hmph! Stop spouting nonsense, Whitebeard! What right do you, a defender of a decaying royal family, have to judge Lord Roa?!"

1

The rebel leader roared, "Let me tell you the truth, we've been waiting for this day! All this talk of ending this, all this talk of reconciliation, is just a way to lull you into a false sense of security!"

How could we possibly reconcile with a corrupt royal family that is hindering the progress of this country?

"This country needs change, and now is the time for change! Whitebeard, if you truly care about this country..."

Don't get in my way!

"Shh,"

Roa's laughter rang out, "Looks like this country doesn't need your protection, Whitebeard."

"Shut up!"

Whitebeard was somewhat out of control; after glaring fiercely at Roa, he turned his angry gaze to the rebels.

"Fools! What changes! How could Roa possibly care about you, or the life or death of this country! He's a monster who feeds on human suffering!"

"No matter what you say, you can't change our mind, Whitebeard!"

The rebel leader sneered, "You've been back in the Sphinx for almost a year now. Has anything changed in this country during that time?"

Oh, the number of pirates attacking has indeed increased, and they're all your enemies! Do you really think we'll thank you for repelling them?

"This country remains as poor and dilapidated as ever! If things continue like this, even a hundred years from now, this country will not develop!"

"It's the corrupt royal family that's hindering the country's development! You're accomplices too!"

"No, Pops,"

Marco said with a wry smile, "They've gone mad!"

The Whitebeard gritted his teeth.

Let's use Conqueror's Haki to knock these guys unconscious first; we can't let them cause trouble!

But.

"Fortunately! The corrupt royal family can no longer hinder this country!"

Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard paused for a moment.

His eyes widened, his tone growing increasingly serious, "What have you done?"

"Hahahaha! Whitebeard! You think we've done nothing for almost a year, just patiently waiting?"

The man laughed maniacally, "We've been preparing for this day all along! We've been secretly developing our manpower, gathering allies, constantly sending people into the army, and even directly turning officers against us. The entire army has long been under our control!"

"Everything was for this day!"

He reached into the bag hanging at his waist and pulled out a head.

"The king is dead! The army is under our control! The people support us! Whitebeard! Now you are the enemy of this country!"

Looking at the lifeless head, Whitebeard's body suddenly trembled.

How so?
