The Calamity Wushen flew out of Logue Town in a flash, flying upwards along the canal on Reverse Mountain without stopping.

Only after Luffy to the Reverse Mountain did Roa and the Golden Lion tacitly slow down their pace.

"It seems they haven't caught up."

Redfield, who was very skilled in Observation Haki, nodded slightly.

"Escape operation a great success!"

Roa then sheathed his sword, and as the Blood Qi dissipated, the massive Calamity Wushen vanished into thin air.

The four of them landed lightly on the summit of Reverse Mountain, with the confluence of waterways from Four Seas not far behind them.

"Hoo--This is really dangerous,"

Roa looked shaken, "I thought I was going to be killed."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Kaido said irritably, "From beginning to end, have you suffered even the slightest injury, you bastard?"

What are you pretending to be here for?

Roa paused.

I looked down at myself.

That's true.

Dealing with the Five Elders was as easy as kicking five stray dogs to death on the side of the road; it was a piece of cake.

Then Imu appeared, and the moment he was at a disadvantage, Uncle Shiki came to his aid.

In the end, he even cleaved Imu away with a single sword strike, managing to break through!

They didn't suffer at all.

Now that I think about it carefully, isn't my performance this time a bit amazing?

Especially the feat of single-handedly taking on five opponents and achieving a pentakill—besides Imu, there probably isn't another person in the world who could do that.

Even Shiki and Whitebeard couldn't do that, let alone a pure hand-to-hand combat master like Garp.

"Haha! Looking back now, it really was a lot of fun."

Roa's expression instantly transformed into one of smugness. "The Five Elders are nothing special!"

Kaido smirked.

"But who exactly is that last woman?"

Redfield's tone was quite grave, "It took the combined strength of the four of us to send her flying, and that attack probably wouldn't even have seriously injured her! How could someone be so strong!"

Even Roger Whitebeard Golden Lion couldn't possibly have done that, right?

Oh, even Roa, who was already on par with Roger and the other two, couldn't do that.

"That's exactly what I can't understand!"

Golden Lion frowned as well, "The Knights of God and even the Five Elders made their appearances much earlier, but this guy only showed up after the Five Elders were defeated."

"Is her status even higher than the Five Elders?"

The Five Elders, aren't they already the ones who wield the highest power in the world, the leaders of the Celestial Dragons?

Who would know such a thing?

Roa pretended to be confused, while Little Bear shrugged, "The Celestial Dragons are still too mysterious. Perhaps she was one of the previous Five Elders?"

"How could that be! She's such a young girl!"

Golden Lion immediately retorted, "The Five Elders have been the Five Elders for who knows how many years. Those damned old geezers seem to be incapable of aging at all—hmm?"

The Golden Lion suddenly stopped.

Both Redfield and Kaido's pupils contracted.

Roa nodded solemnly, "Perhaps it's not like they're... but rather, they really won't age any further!"

Yes!

The Five Elders have ruled the World Government for far too long, so long that no one remembers exactly when they began to wield supreme power in the world.

People have become accustomed to this.

But is it possible that the Five Elders are not simply living long lives through proper maintenance, but are truly immortal?

"If that's the case, then the World Government is far too terrifying!"

Redfield's tone was grave. "If that woman really is a monster left over from a long time ago, then if there's a first one, why can't there be a second or a third?"

Both Golden Lion and Kaido had very unpleasant expressions.

Could there really be more than one monster like that?

If that's the case, then what's the point of overthrowing a World Government?!

I might as well just wash my neck and wait to die!

There's no need to be so pessimistic.

Roa laughed and said, "If they really had such exaggerated power, would our Rocks Pirates have been able to be so arrogant back then?"

Golden Lion and Kaido's eyes lit up instantly.

Yes, if there were truly many super-powerful fighters like that woman, would the Rocks Pirates have been able to wait until God Valley to be destroyed?

"Upon closer reflection, the commander of that Knights of God also gradually aged somewhat in the years following God Valley,"

Roa continued, "Furthermore, the ages of the Five Elders are not uniform; some look much younger than their colleagues. Does this mean that they also need to meet certain conditions to possess the power of immortality?"

Is it due to Imu's ability, or the Perennial Youth Operation Op-Op Fruit?

Roa actually prefers the latter.

While this is uncertain, it is certain that Imu does not possess many precious items that grant immortality.

"Hehehe! In that case, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Kaido burst into laughter.

"Oh! Big Brother Kaido is truly exceptionally optimistic,"

Roa couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's one thing for the Navy to have its combat power all out in the open, but does that mean they don't even care about those monsters in the World Government who have immortal bodies and can teleport at will?"

"Speaking of those guys' immortality—"

Kaido got angry whenever he talked about it, and he said irritably, "You said that Conqueror's Haki was the key to dealing with that guy, but how come my iron rod has no effect on them at all?"

He was thoroughly thrashed by those Divine Knights. If he hadn't been so thick-skinned, he might have been turned into a pulp like the Five Elders by now.

"Perhaps Big Brother Kaido, your Conqueror's Haki isn't strong enough."

Roa laughed, "Red and Uncle Shiki will definitely be fine."

"What did you say?"

Kaido furious.

"But,"

Roa paused, then his tone became somewhat solemn, "Even I cannot truly kill the Five Elders. Even my Conqueror's Haki can only suppress their regeneration!"

Red Eyebrows: "Wouldn't that make those guys invincible?"

Even a powerful figure like Roa couldn't kill them, and they could even summon each other in times of crisis.

How do you deal with an enemy who can fight and run at will?

"There must be a way to solve it."

Roa slowly exhaled. "Conqueror's Haki is definitely a countermeasure, and perhaps there are some techniques I haven't realized yet."

"If only I could capture a Divine Knight, I could experiment on him properly."

"How can we catch it? Even if we could, it would be summoned back immediately."

Kaido rolled his eyes.

"Yes, it's really troublesome."

Roa couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Joy Boy, it's all your fault.

To simply say that Conqueror's Haki is the key to dealing with immortality—who could possibly understand that!

"Anyway, let's go back."

Roa stretched, "It was quite enjoyable to have a good time."

"But when you get back, everyone should keep a low profile. I don't think anyone wants that woman to come knocking on our door, right?"

Both Golden Lion and Kaido's expressions changed slightly.

Without a doubt, if that woman came knocking, they would have no chance of winning. After all, the woman who was suspected of being an immortal was already ridiculously strong, not to mention she could summon people.

"I'm not afraid!"

The Golden Lion immediately snorted coldly.

He flies everywhere in the skies of the New World; who can find him?

Red shrugged. "I don't care at all. I'm already homeless, where is she going to find me?"

Kaido's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Let's not stay in Wano Country for now.

"That's good!"

Roa grinned and opened his arms wide. "Now, get ready to embrace a brand new world!"

"That Roger gave us the greatest era with his life!"

"Hehehehe!"

Mentioning Roger, Kaido burst into laughter, "I wonder how many ambitious men will set sail because of Roger's words! The most chaotic era is about to begin! The Great Treasure? I'm taking it! Roa, Shiki, Red, whether it's you or anyone else, I won't hold back!"

"Great Treasure, huh? That must be very interesting."

Red smirked wickedly, "The second person to find Laugh Tale will be the new Pirate King, right?"

"Treasure hunt? Pirate King?"

The Golden Lion sneered, "This is just child's play! Once I conquer this world, what will all this so-called treasure matter?"

Roa's attitude towards Golden Lion was not surprising; in the original work, he was quite disdainful of the so-called Great Pirate Era.

"Just go for it!"

Roa Ya laughed heartily, "Isn't this what they mean by freedom?"

"Before that,"

Suddenly, the Golden Lion abruptly turned to look at Roa, its eyes burning like electric shocks, as if about to unleash a laser beam. "Roa, fight me! I'm really curious to see just how far you've evolved!"

After Roger died, besides the World Government, the strongest enemy was this brat!

"Um?"

Roa raised an eyebrow. Was it because Roger was dead that they were now focusing their attention on him?

"OK."

Roa nodded happily.

Having already defeated Roger, we certainly can't miss out on the remaining two legendary pirates.

"Hahahaha!"

Anyway, let's go back to the New World first.

A large ship, some distance from Logue Town, was propelled by the wind, making it move as fast as an arrow.

Dragon stood at the bow of the ship, his mind still replaying the scene he had seen from afar when he left Logue Town.

The World Government actually has such a powerful figure hidden away?

Once there's a first one, won't there be a second?

"Dragon, shouldn't we thank Roa?"

Ivankov emerged from the cabin. "If that guy hadn't drawn so much attention, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape at all!"

Roya Dorrag's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

That guy is undoubtedly the second biggest source of chaos in the world, under the World Government!

However, his existence can also pose a significant obstacle to the World Government, and even the current Self-Respect Army is inseparable from his support.

Although the cost was that the Self-Respect Army was riddled with infiltration, it wouldn't be too far off from being a branch of the Calamity Company.

Throat.

Dragon shook his head.

Then, in the next moment, he rallied his spirits, "Ivan, an unprecedented era is about to begin! We must be prepared!"

"Of course!"

Ivankov, with a rather flamboyant right hand gesture, held a peace sign across his right eye. "The miracle worker is about to change the world!"

"Change the world?"

A mocking voice came from behind, "You think you can take it all?"

Dragon turned around and saw Crocodile, his body wrapped in bandages, leaning against the cabin door frame. He smiled slightly, "How will you know if you don't try?"

"Oh! Little Kuro, you're awake already?"

Ivankov spun around like a whirlwind to Crocodile's side, grinning, "How about it? Join us! Let's change this twisted world together!"

"I'm not that bored."

Crocodile snorted coldly, "Now that I've heard Roger's last words with my own ears, my target is only one thing! And another..."

He gave Ivankov a disdainful look. "Little Kuro? What kind of nickname is that?"

"The Great Treasure?"

Dragon understood.

How many people in the world could resist that Great Treasure?

"But little Kuro! I saved you! Not only did I fight alongside you, but I also carried you away from the battlefield and even healed you!"

Ivankov held up three fingers. "You owe me three favors. As repayment, join our Self-Respect Army. Who says joining us means you can't search for the Great Treasure?"

This kid is also exceptionally strong; if he can be recruited into the Self-Respect Army, he will undoubtedly become an Admiral!

"Fighting side by side counts as a favor? And are you trying to take advantage of me, you bastard?"

Crocodile retorted irritably, "I'll repay the favor I owe you sooner or later, but not at the cost of my freedom!"

"Honestly, Kuro, you're really willful."

Ivankov sighed helplessly.

"Who's being unreasonable here?!"

"Never mind, I'm going back to visit my family now!"

Ivankov said, "Little Kuro, do you want to come back with me?"

Why should I go with you to visit relatives?!

The inexperienced young Crocodile was so angry at this guy that veins bulged on his forehead. "What does this have to do with me?!"

"The World Government is definitely keeping an eye on you too,"

Dragon spoke up at this point, "Acting alone would be dangerous. It doesn't matter if you don't join us, as long as things calm down."

It'll be safer to stick together for now.

Crocodile's brow furrowed immediately.

It seems that's indeed the case.

"What are we waiting for!"

Ivankov enthusiastically put his arm around Crocodile's shoulder and said with a grin, "Target: the South Blue!"

Almost at the same moment.

Rayleigh is swimming.

Swimming in the vast ocean.

Shanks dragged the still unconscious Buggy along behind him, the Red-haired boy's face looking rather grim.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "Uncle Rayleigh, was that person just now my...?" "If I'm not mistaken, it should be your father."

Rayleigh said it bluntly.

Shanks fell silent.

Captain Roger had told him about his past before he disembarked.

The fact that he was actually a Celestial Dragons, and not just any ordinary Celestial Dragons, dealt Shanks a huge blow.

And today, I actually met my father in a blood relationship.

But that person was Mr. Rayleigh's enemy.

"Shanks, you haven't made up your mind yet, so I'm taking you away."

Rayleigh's voice rang out, "Whether you return to Mary Geoise or remain on the sea is a decision you must make yourself."

"It's not up to me or your Celestial Dragons father to decide."

"No! Mr. Rayleigh!"

Shanks immediately declared resolutely, "I don't want to go back to Mary Geoise! I just want to stay on the sea, I just want to be a free pirate like Captain Roger!"

"I can,"

He raised his hand and placed it on his Straw Hat, "Carry on Captain Roger's will!"

Rayleigh raised the corners of his mouth.

But immediately, he noticed something rolling off his back.

Shanks was originally holding Buggy with one arm, but now that arm is resting on his Straw Hat.

"Wow! Buggy! He's sinking!"

Soon after, Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle, among the Flower Room.

Six figures writhed in agony in the room filled with blooming grass.

They were the Five Elders who had been chopped into mincemeat by Roa, and Figarland Gehring who failed at the last moment.

Black energy rose from the six men, their faces were incredibly ferocious, and their clothes were completely soaked with sweat, as if they were undergoing some unimaginable torture.

But let alone screaming, the six of them even tried their best to control their struggling movements, desperately trying to make their movements as small as possible.

They endured their unspeakable suffering in silence.

Not far away, in front of the flowerbed, the figure wearing a tall crown crushed the blooming flowers in front of him.

"To subject Mu to such humiliation, they all deserve to die!"

"Of them, Roa is the most deserving of death,"

The King of the World suddenly turned around, and the power acting on the Five Elders and Gehring instantly dissipated. "Don't let Mu down again! Mu will kill Roa!"

"Yes, Lord Imu!"

Without any hesitation, the six men rose to their feet and knelt before their god.

"Furthermore, this world is spiraling out of control! Mu needs more fighting power!"

"Yes!"
