The Lion Falls! Roa's Sorrow!

Above a patch of sky in the waters off Beehive Island.

A giant azure dragon flew rapidly forward.

Rings of fiery clouds extended from his four claws, dragging two enormous ships along with him as they flew rapidly through the sky.

Charlotte Linlin gave Kaido's scalp a hard pat, clearly annoyed.

"Kaido! You bastard, can't you fly any faster?!"

"Stop bastard! You old hag!"

Kaido more angrily, "We're already going full speed! If you still think it's too slow, then fly yourself!"

"You good-for-nothing!"

Charlotte Linlin was extremely disappointed in her son.

"You think I'm not anxious? I'm even more eager to fight Roger than you are!"

Kaido sneered, "Damn Shiki! I hope that guy doesn't start fighting Roger first!"

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin revealed a mocking smile, "Don't worry, that guy isn't an idiot. Of course he knows what will happen if he tries to fight Roger alone!"

Although it's very unfair, it has to be admitted that the Roger Pirates are the World's Strongest right now!

Only when all of them are present can we say that victory is assured.

Otherwise, if it were a one-on-one fight, neither Roa nor Shiki would have been able to escape defeat against the Roger Pirates.

According to Charlotte Linlin's plan, even Shiki, who was incredibly devoted to Roger, should just be floating far away in the sky following the Roger Pirates, waiting for them to join him.

"That'd better be it! Roger, you just wait!"

Can't wait!

Meanwhile, on another stretch of the sea in this area, giant snails were also rumbling and moving rapidly forward.

"Oh! Has it already started?"

Roa held Den Den Mushi in his hand, chuckling as he spoke to the person on the other end.

"Um,"

Fisher Tiger's voice came through the phone, tinged with excitement, "Roger and the others have taken to the skies and begun a fierce battle with the Golden Lion."

"They flew into the sky? That's wonderful!"

Roa snapped his fingers happily, "It seems the Geppo technique I specifically taught them has played a crucial role."

Uncle Shiki isn't stupid; he knows he can't win, so he won't force himself to fight.

Therefore, at this moment, the existence of Geppo becomes crucial.

I hope Uncle Shiki likes this gift.

"Investigate further and report back."

"Roa said."

I'm not one of your paparazzi!

Fisher Tiger on the other end of the phone really wanted to give a righteous scolding.

But the last thing Roa heard was "Okay."

Roa put away the Den Den Mushi and chuckled to himself.

"Don't worry, Uncle Shiki, he specifically asked Roger and the others to spare your life. There's nothing to worry about, so fight with confidence!"

I'm not an ungrateful person; I still remember all the kindness we showed each other in the past!

Roger's Supreme Great Grade Sword Ace clashed suddenly with Golden Lion's Famous Sword, Sakura Kiyomizu.

The two incomparably powerful Haki collided violently, and thick, jet-black Haki Inazuma shot out in all directions, tearing the clouds in the sky apart once again!

In their first clash, the Golden Lion and Roger were evenly matched.

However, his face looked extremely pale.

Because two equally monstrous figures on his left and right sides approached!

"Drink!"

With two loud shouts in unison, Rayleigh swung his longsword, and Gaban brought down his double axes!

Faced with three weapons also imbued with two-colored Haki, Golden Lion withdrew his sword to parry, and was then sent flying.

He pierced through the air like a cannonball and crashed heavily into the rock wall below the floating Sky Island behind him.

The solid rock layer was shattered to pieces, and large cracks began to spread.

But before the Golden Lion could even catch his breath, the three figures were already chasing after him like leeches.

"You bastard!!"

The Golden Lion roared.

It's pointless to say anything more now!

"Lion's Might - Earth Strike!!"

The rock wall below the island instantly deformed, turning into a giant lion's head that opened its mouth and lunged at the three attackers.

Boom!

In the next instant, the enormous rock lion was completely pulverized.

"Divine Departure!"

The massive slash shattered the rock lion, leaving a bottomless chasm beneath the island.

Meanwhile, the Golden Lion had already carved out an empty emergency passage inside the island and was flying upwards, reaching the top of the floating Sky Island.

"Prepare for battle!!"

He roared.

But now, all that's left is to fight!

There is no other way but to fight!

"Admiral!!"

Behind him, three of his most capable cadres quickly approached.

Skullcrusher Hyde!

Heartseeker Berg!

Max the fraudster!

The three, already prepared for battle, quickly converged with the surging tide of the Flying Pirates.

Then.

Boom!

The shoreline ahead exploded instantly, and three figures were propelled upwards.

"Leave Shiki to me!"

Roger didn't hesitate and pounced straight at the Golden Lion, shouting, "Rayleigh Jabba! Don't hold back, end this battle quickly!"

"Good!"

Rayleigh and Gaban nodded emphatically at the same time. Without hesitation, they stepped on the air, their bodies instantly deflecting as they rushed straight towards the Flying Pirates' officers.

Since Roa wants to use them to weaken the Golden Lion's power, and even eliminate everyone except Shiki, then let him have his way!

"Drink!"

With a loud shout, Rayleigh cleaved Hyde, the Skullcrusher, the strongest subordinate of the Golden Lion Demon, away with a single Skullcrusher Hyde strike.

The difference in Haki presence is enormous!

Even worse off is Berg, the third-ranking member of the Flying Pirates and a sniper.

He had transformed into a pterosaur and tried to create distance, but the axe was faster!

"Don't even think about running away!"

Gaban, who had been charging at the enemy, cleaved the sniper rifle in Berg's hand with a single axe blow.

"Asshole!!"

Enraged, Berg stretched out his mouth, and the pterosaur's long snout, wreathed in Haki, lunged at Gaban like a spear.

"Axe Heaven Joy!!"

A black light flashed across the sky and disappeared in an instant.

"Wow!!"

Berg only had time to let out a scream before his mouth was severed and a huge gash was cleaved into his chest.

Gaban, who had just sent Berg flying with a single blow, hadn't even hit the ground yet when he was already swinging his twin axes again with all his might.

"Eighty-year-old warlord!!"

A series of massive slashes rained down like a storm, instantly sending the assembled Flying Pirates and falling like dominoes.

His move could cut down all the trees on a mountain in an instant, making it perfect for clearing out crowds gathered together.

"Damn it! Don't be so arrogant!!"

Hyde roared, a deep sword wound etched on his stomach.

His Heal-Heal Fruit allows him to recover quickly from injuries, and he has already returned to the battlefield in a short time.

But.

"I'll deal with you first."

Rayleigh launched himself forward.

Hyde's eyes were now filled only with a soaring, domineering black Haki.

Roger!!

In the sky, the Golden Lion were wide open in a rage.

"I told you before, don't block my way, Shiki!"

Roger felt no remorse whatsoever.

Battles between pirates are no child's play.

If we don't defeat the Flying Pirates here now, they might be the ones getting wiped out!

"Lion Valley - Thousand Slice Valley!!"

The Golden Lion swung his twin swords wildly, unleashing a storm of massive slashes that instantly engulfed Roger!

But he is Gore D. Roger!

An unstoppable meteor streaks through the storm!

Roger swung his sword continuously, each swing unleashing a Haki shockwave that easily shattered all incoming attacks.

The next instant, the two collided heavily again. The collision of the three blades created a massive shockwave, causing the floating Sky Island below to plummet.

"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Golden Lion roared.

With a wave of his right hand.

The floating Sky Island below suddenly began to move, hurtling diagonally towards Roger Pirates on the sea.

He's going to use this island to smash Roger's ship!

"Shiki, don't even think about it!"

Roger swung his sword directly at the island below, shouting, "Rayleigh! Gaban! Attack together!"

A massive, Haki shockwave roared out—not a slash, but a Haki shockwave!

Haki shockwave slammed into one side of the island, instantly shattering the coastline.

The immense force even caused the island to tilt, sending a large number of pirates flying into the air.

On the island, Rayleigh and Gaban simultaneously leaped up and vigorously swung their weapons toward the island.

Two more massive shockwaves crashed down on the center of the island.

The immense force pierced the entire island through the middle, creating a huge hole. Large cracks spread in all directions, causing the island to crumble. At the same time, the island was also knocked down by the overwhelming force!

Before they could even move to the top of Roger Pirates, the entire island was forcibly smashed into the sea.

The sea suddenly surged with waves, and one giant wave after another rippled outwards.

Roger Pirates ship looked tiny and insignificant in the face of such giant waves, and was pushed further and further away.

"Roger!!"

"Shiki!!"

In the sky, two figures clashed repeatedly, each collision causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Meanwhile, on the island, whose lower half had already fallen into the sea and was beginning to crumble, the massacre continued.

There was absolutely no one who could stop Rayleigh and Gaban in the slightest.

The three subordinates of the Golden Lion Demon had already been eliminated, and the remaining minions were now like straw being harvested.

One cut and it's a slice.

"Asshole!"

In the sky, the Golden Lion was furious.

All the savings I've painstakingly accumulated are going to be handed over here today!

"Roger! I'll never forgive you!!"

"Then don't run!"

Roger showed no mercy to the Golden Lion and continued his pursuit.

No!

Continuing to fight like this will not give us any chance of winning!

We have to stall until Roa and his men arrive! Only then can Roger and his gang pay the price!

The Golden Lion suddenly swooped down and skimmed across the sea.

"Drink!"

Roger followed closely behind, his black blade tearing through the sky and slashing down.

When!

And so, another earth-shattering collision occurred!

Roger was sent flying high into the air, while the Golden Lion was slammed directly into the sea!

But just as he was about to fall into the sea, the ocean split open a chasm!

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Come on, Roger, let's fight the sea!"

The Golden Lion laughed wildly.

The giant waves began to surge!

The seawater surged hundreds of meters high without any logic, crashing down wave after wave onto the Roger Pirates' ship in the distance.

"Gaban! He's all yours!"

Roger, unconcerned, swooped down again, heading straight for the Golden Lion.

Meanwhile, on the gradually crumbling island, a dark figure shot out.

"Eighty-year-old warlord!"

The massive slashes easily shattered the giant waves!

But that wasn't enough; huge waves kept forming and crashing toward the ship, one after another.

"Help!!"

On deck, Buggy clutched his head and screamed in despair, "I'm going to drown!!"

"That crying was awful, Buggy!"

Gaban, who had rushed back using Geppo, descended from the sky and cleaved the oncoming giant wave in two swings of his axe.

"Uncle Gaban!"

Buggy was moved to tears.

My sense of security is back!

It sounds unbelievable, but at this moment, Roger and Golden Lion are fighting beneath the surface of the sea!

Golden Lion used his power to create a huge underwater cavity, and the two engaged in a passionate duel within this space.

The sea surface cracked repeatedly under the enormous impact, and then in a violent explosion, the Golden Lion soared into the sky once more.

But at this moment...

"Shiki! It's two against one now!"

Rayleigh arrived, cutting through the air.

"Asshole!"

The Golden Lion were about to burst.

Among so many subordinates, the familiar aura of the cadres has basically disappeared!

You bastard!!

Even the ruthless Golden Lion was heartbroken at this moment.

Those who died were not only his subordinates, but also the cornerstones of his empire!

But that's not what we should be thinking about right now!

The sea exploded again, and Roger was in hot pursuit once more!

Facing both Roger and Rayleigh at the same time!

Even with his Golden Lion knew he had no chance of winning!

Drag!

We can only stall for time!

He flew upwards at lightning speed, trying to create distance.

Although Geppo can fly, it is still inferior to his speed!

But.

"!"

Several massive slashes suddenly tore through the sky, abruptly halting the Golden Lion's upward flight!

It was Rayleigh; he anticipated Golden Lion's movements and directly swung his sword to block him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Roger had already rapidly approached.

"Divine Departure!!"

The Golden Lion's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

Rayleigh blocked his movement, Roger launched a frontal attack!

With this combination, it's hard for him to escape!

Damn it, Roa! Get here right now!!

The giant snail rumbled forward.

"Achoo!"

Roa, who was standing on the snail's head, suddenly sneezed.

Who's insulting me?

But.

While rubbing his nose, Roa squinted and looked ahead.

One giant wave after another was crashing in.

The raging winds never stopped blowing.

Furthermore, one could hear a series of muffled sounds.

How long has it been?

It's not finished yet?

Uncle Shiki, you're pretty resilient.

That is, at this time.

"Roa! What are you still doing here!"

A strange roar came from the sky.

Roa immediately turned around, smiling and waving at the blue dragon flying overhead, "Big Brother Kaido! Take us with you!"

Soon, besides the two ships, several Giant Snail were also swept up by the fiery clouds.

"We can already hear sounds from here!"

Above the Azure Dragon's head, Charlotte Linlin exclaimed in surprise, "Are they fighting?"

"Linlin, didn't you say that Shiki wasn't an idiot?"

Kaido grumbled unhappily, "Why are they fighting again?"

Charlotte Linlin said irritably, "How was I supposed to know he could be such an idiot?"

"But honestly, I really don't know what Uncle Shiki is up to,"

Roa shrugged. "Why didn't they wait for us to get there?"

"Our opponent is Roger!"

Kaido, however, defended Shiki, saying, "It's only natural that that bastard Shiki couldn't help himself!"

Big Brother Kaido, what kind of existence was Roger in your eyes? Bait?

"Speed up, Big Brother Kaido!"

Roa's expression turned serious. "I have a bad feeling!"

"I already said, this is the fastest speed possible!"

Kaido roared.

However, he was already quite fast, and soon he arrived above the area of surging waves.

It should be said that they came at the perfect time.

"Defeat, Shiki!"

With a roar, a jet-black sword light suddenly stretched across the sky.

The figure struck by this slash fell like a meteor.

It fell directly into the sea, creating a huge splash.

"My beloved Uncle Shiki!"

Roa was overcome with grief and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Roger! What have you done! I will never forgive you!!"

In the sky not far away, Roger's lips twitched slightly.

That's enough.
