Friend's Sister! The Princess Falls

The pirate ship sailed silently on the surface of the Whole Cake Island Sea.

Saladin was extremely nervous, gripping his greatsword tightly and looking around anxiously, fearing that Charlotte Family's ship might attack at any moment.

Although I bravely ventured into this area, now that I've calmed down and thought about it, it was incredibly dangerous!

If the Charlotte Family could unite their forces, they would undoubtedly be the World's Strongest. To run wild on their territory is tantamount to courting death.

Although Saladin also came to this sea with the dream of seizing the Great Treasure and becoming the Pirate King, he did not want to start a war with the Charlotte Family so soon.

Now all we can do is pray that this guy who suddenly appeared really does have a connection with the Pirate Emperor Charlotte Katakuri, just as he claims.

But how could that be?

How old is this kid?

When Katakuri became famous, this kid probably wasn't even born yet!

We're doomed! This time it's definitely over!

Roa glanced at the guy with interest, his inner monologue quite amusing.

The evolved abilities go beyond simply seeing others' negative emotions; they can also roughly understand the general meaning behind each emotional change.

It's very close to truly understanding mind-reading.

The only downside is that, like Observation Haki, this technique is an active skill that requires active activation to take effect.

If it could become a passive skill, I wouldn't have been ambushed by that John guy in the first place.

However, the most interesting change after this ability evolved is of course--

"Roa,"

At this Kozuki Toki was as docile as a kitten, leaning gently against Roa, "It's so good to see you again..."

She still hasn't shaken off her identity as a vengeful spirit, and can still be completely controlled by Roa with a single thought.

However, she did regain consciousness, regardless of whether it was her original personality or not.

Isn't this very similar to Imu's Black Turn Domination?

Even.

A thought flashed through Roa's mind.

The black energy between heaven and earth suddenly converged towards him.

This time, however, the dense black mist did not enter his mouth and nose, but instead seeped directly into his skin.

Yes, the absorption process has changed from being absorbed through the lungs to being absorbed throughout the body, which does significantly improve efficiency.

Then, the black energy he absorbed into his body suddenly transformed into some kind of energy.

After that.

"Forehead!"

Kozuki Toki suddenly trembled, and his green hair moved strangely without any wind.

"Power! The power is growing stronger!"

She looked up in surprise. "Roa, what did you do?"

"It's quite interesting, isn't it?"

Roa chuckled softly.

The ability to turn people into ghouls can be enhanced, and what's strange is that ghouls themselves are derived from one's own abilities, so they can also be enhanced.

See, doesn't it really look just like it?

However, it's still impossible for anyone to easily gain immortality, not to mention the equally unreasonable teleportation array.

Imu, right now your abilities are definitely more underhanded!

"You're truly amazing, Roa. I just want to stay by Roa side forever."

Kozuki Toki nestled in Roa's arms once more, murmuring sweetly.

Saladin, who was standing nearby, sword in hand, trying to be on guard, felt like a complete clown.

No, do you even know who our next enemy might be?

What kind of lovey-dovey display is this?!

Looking down at Kozuki Toki, who was staring at him with adoration, Roa frowned slightly. "As expected, Shi, you're still not quite suited to this posture. Let me help you adjust it again."

As for golden cats, the Calamity City already has several of this style.

It seems that the style of Kozuki Toki is more suited to someone who appears cold on the surface but is internally tormented and twisted, yet has no choice but to obey.

Therefore, the parameters still need to be adjusted.

Bring back the previously inflated levels of affection and dependence, then boost the sense of justice and compassion... and finally, maximize obedience.

Kozuki Toki's body trembled again.

The next second, she suddenly looked up and stared at Roa in utter astonishment.

The moment the woman saw Roa's face clearly, she recoiled as if electrocuted, her exquisitely beautiful face now filled with bitterness. "Wouldn't it be better to let me immerse myself in my love for you?"

Well, I'm just not naturally fond of seeing other people happy.

Roa smiled, then nodded repeatedly in satisfaction, "But that look! That's more like it! It already resembles you eighty percent."

Well, now, it's not just negative emotions that can be managed; even positive emotions can be balanced. After all, no matter how positive an emotion is, if it goes to extremes, it can lead to disaster.

That makes perfect sense.

The ghost, Kozuki Toki, remained silent, simply standing motionless with his head bowed, just as Roa had seen Kozuki Toki countless times before.

But now, she will no longer emit the dark aura that brought Roa pleasure.

After all, her current personality and emotions were manipulated by Roa and did not belong to her.

Well, that's not bad at all; the similarity is already pretty good.

You see, even though you betrayed me, I still haven't let you go—I mean, I've given up on you.

Saladin looked on in utter bewilderment. What were these two up to now?

Then.

"Oh! It seems like a formidable fellow has arrived?"

Roa suddenly turned around and looked at the sea in front of him.

A very powerful aura is rapidly approaching.

"An extraordinary guy?"

Saladin quickly looked up and saw a ship rapidly approaching on the distant sea.

Are they here?

His hand trembled slightly.

But now there's nowhere to escape!

He glanced furtively at Roa's retreating figure again; at this point, he could only rely on this guy.

"Captain! It's the Cream Princess Bill!!"

At the same time, the lookout on the mast was already screaming at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with panic and terror.

"What!!"

Saladin's voice turned shrill in the next instant, "How could it be! Why that ship of all times!"

"Oh?"

Roa raised an eyebrow. "A very famous ship?"

The Cream Princess Bill —that's a truly awful name only the Charlotte Family could come up with.

It must be the flagship of some high-ranking official in the family.

But what princess would be named Bill?

Saladin was pale, his facial muscles trembling, and he had to clench his teeth to make a sound.

"It's not as simple as whether he's famous or not! That's a high-ranking member of the Charlotte Family, the leader of the Sweet Three Generals, a monster with a bounty of 1.16 billion Beli, the ship of Charlotte Bonney, the Princess of Destruction!"

"Hey-- Bonney?"

Roa's lips gradually curled upwards.

You don't even need to guess who it is.

Bill, Bear, right?

Xiong, you seem to be doing quite well in the Totto Land, managing to convince Aunt Linlin to name her daughter like that.

However, Aunt Linlin probably doesn't care. She's not the cuckolded heroine in a wife-chasing-after-the-cremation novel, and her husband still has a white moonlight in his heart. It means nothing to her.

As long as the bear and the child can be used by her, that's fine.

It's a real shame, though; it seems like it all benefited Katakuri.

However, one would say that she truly lives up to her reputation as the child of the Bakaria Tribe and Aunt Linlin, a born destroyer.

They must be only twenty-four years old this year, yet their bounty has already reached 1.1 billion Beli. It should be said that they are in no way inferior to Aunt Linlin.

"What do we do now?!"

Saladin was sweating profusely. "Lord Roa, we can only rely on you now!"

A monster with a bounty ten times his own—how could he possibly handle it?

Now we can only rely on Lord Roa, who claims to have a connection with Katakuri!

If he can't handle it, then everyone will die here!

Roa ignored Saladin's fear and continued to observe the rapidly approaching pirate ship with interest.

When he finally saw the tall figure standing at the bow of the ship, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Wow, it seems he has indeed inherited Aunt Linlin's powerful talent."

At first glance, I thought it was Aunt Linlin from her younger days.

They were both ridiculously tall, with equally slender and sexy figures, and equally flowing pink hair.

It's so nostalgic; Aunt Linlin from before God Valley looked pretty much like this.

As Roa was reminiscing, on the large ship opposite...

Charlotte Family's most powerful executive drew the greatsword that had been strapped to his back.

She raised her greatsword high, and a layer of dark, Haki instantly enveloped the blade.

A wicked smile appeared on the woman's bright face. "Idiots! Now you can all be buried in the sea!"

"The Elbaf Spear-- "

"Ikoku Sovereignty!!"

Without any further words, the massive blade cleaved through the air with a deafening roar.

The roaring shockwave transformed into a massive pillar of light, tearing a chasm through the sea and carrying a destructive force as it hurtled straight toward Roa's pirate crew.

"Croak!!!"

Saladin could no longer contain his terror and screamed.

Unstoppable!

How could he possibly withstand such an attack!

We're doomed!

Everyone will be pulverized by this blow!

Lord Roa!

Use whatever moves you have!

"Looks like a very mischievous child."

Roa chuckled softly and raised his right hand.

An invisible Haki suddenly surged forth.

Driven by willpower, in the next instant, Haki formed a massive, pitch-black barrier in front of them.

"Eh!!"

Saladin was dumbfounded.

Haki?

Is that Haki?

What does this Haki attitude mean?

Boom!

The roaring shockwave slammed into the dark wall like a heavy hammer.

Then.

A sudden gust of wind howled across the sea, and the spreading shockwaves instantly created wave after wave of giant waves.

"It's blocking the way!!"

Saladin's eyes and tongue almost flew out.

The raging sword waves were unable to penetrate the dark barrier!

That was a blow from Charlotte Bonney!

It really blocked it!

Just who exactly is this Lord Roa?

"What?"

On the deck of the Cream Princess Bill, the over eight-meter-tall Bonney stared in astonishment, "It's blocking the way?!"

And it blocked it very easily!

The black wall, which was of unknown origin, didn't even shake, and it shattered the sword wave she released!

"A master!"

Just like her mother, the woman who had drawn a heart shape with lipstick between her upper and lower lips immediately caught my eye.

"It's worth cutting! Hahaha! Brother Perospero! You're so good to me!"

As she spoke, she lowered her weight and bent her legs.

Boom!

As the woman exerted force with her legs, the bow of the large ship tilted downwards, creating a deep dent in the sea.

At the same time, using this force, Bonney was launched into the air like a grenade launcher, drawing an arc in the air before crashing down towards the pirate ship in the distance.

Behind her, the ship's crew and Homies seemed unsurprised by the sight.

This princess has a fiery temper and has always enjoyed fighting strong opponents; it's unclear who she inherited this trait from.

They weren't worried, after all, Lord Bonney had never been defeated in all his years of experience.

"He jumped over here!!"

Saladin screamed again.

Did he really jump hundreds or even thousands of meters like that?

This isn't a human he knows!

It's probably a flea!

"If you can't stop them, then die!!"

The woman, falling like a meteorite, wore a maniacal smile.

Black Inazuma crackled and leaped from the massive blade of the sword in her hand.

"Wow, this is completely different from the Bonney I remember."

Roa stood leisurely on the ship's railing, looking up at the enormous woman descending from the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

That makes sense, it would be strange if they were the same.

Now is not the time for lamentation!

Saladin's eyes widened in fury.

However, he dared not utter a single word, fearing it would affect Roa's actions.

I blocked that attack just now, so I should be alright now, Lord Roa! It's all up to you!

Roa simply smiled, "Then let me see what kind of power the young people on the high seas possess these days."

He raised his right hand.

"Huh?"

Bonney was completely stunned. This guy was going to use his hand to meet his slash?

Immediately, a cruel smile curved her lips. "Then you can die!!"

The greatsword slashed down without hesitation.

Call!!

A sudden gust of wind howled, even making the pirates on the deck lose their footing.

But no one paid any attention to the gust of wind at that moment, because everyone was completely stunned.

Bonney was also dumbfounded, "Caught, caught them??"

This guy, whose name I don't even know, gripped the blade of his sword as he swung it down with his right hand!

Are you kidding me!

He didn't even use his Haki!

This power!

Who exactly are you?!

Bonney couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This guy can't be described as just an ordinary person!

When did such a monster appear on the high seas?

Roa casually tossed Bonney backward, sending him crashing onto the deck.

The enormous beauty, as large as a small mountain, staggered backward, knocking over a group of pirates.

The pirates, as if waking from a dream, retreated in panic to make room.

Saladin covered his mouth, trying his best not to make a sound.

This Lord Roa, whom he had met by chance, seemed to be much more powerful than he had imagined!

This is Charlotte Bonney, the Princess of Destruction!

"I'm here to see Katakuri,"

Roa told him the truth, "You should have heard of me, my name is Roa."

Bonney is amazing! Her strength is almost exaggerated. She's definitely inherited Aunt Linlin's and the bear's bloodline.

With this one sword strike alone, there should be no match for him among those capable of Sweet Commander Calamity.

However, my physical strength has also improved a lot.

"Never heard of it!"

The answer to Roa was a greatsword that came crashing down upon him.

Bonney shattered the deck and launched himself forward.

The greatsword, raised high, Inazuma with dark, Haki. "Try this one too!"

Oh, the Conqueror's Haki.

That would mean Sweet Commander disaster.

They're even better than Bullet and Abel were 25 years ago, right? These young people are really amazing.

But how come you've never heard of your own name before?

You ignorant brat, you need to be taught a lesson!

An invisible Haki surged forth once more, and a massive, jet-black arm instantly materialized.

"What?"

Bonney's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively slashed with his sword.

However, her greatsword pierced straight through the dark arm, as if it had no physical form.

But the next second, a hand even larger than her body grabbed her again, and she became a physical entity once more.

Wow!

Bonney yelled, "Let go of me!!"

She struggled fiercely.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from the dark hand.

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

Conqueror's Haki is a power that grows stronger as the user becomes stronger.

After evolving, he became stronger, so naturally, his Conqueror's Haki also became more powerful.

Not to mention he also used Observation Haki to Future Sight.

Facing Bonney at this moment, it was practically a case of being outmatched.

Hmm, her body is very resilient. It seems she has inherited Aunt Linlin's steel-like physique very well.

"This is Ochoku's move!"

Before Roa could say anything more, Bonney gritted his teeth and shouted, "You're one of Ochoku's men!"

"Ochoku?"

Roa tilted his head. "Does he even deserve it?"

Bonney was taken aback.

Indeed, although Ochoku is an incredibly powerful guy, he's still no match for Katakuri.

Could Katakuri's brother really defeat him so easily?

Who exactly is this guy?

"Really,"

Roa shook his head helplessly, "Has Katakuri never mentioned my name to you guys? Even if he hasn't, Aunt Linlin and Perospero must have."

"Ah?"

Bonney was stunned.

Etc!

You mean Roa? You mean that Roa?

Bonney's eyes widened suddenly. "Huh? Are you kidding me?!"

Meanwhile, on that ship in the distance.

The pirates and Homies were both stunned.

Then.

"Lord Bonney has been arrested!!"
