Mythical Beast! Crushing Everything in Its Path!
On an island not too far from Beehive Island.
This is a large Marine Base.
After Ochoku officially became Shichibukai under the government's command, the construction of this island was put on the agenda.
Today, this Marine Base has stood in this sea area for more than twenty years, and in this not-so-short period of time, it has largely maintained the peace and tranquility of this sea area.
At this moment.
Inside the base commander's office on the top floor of this base building.
"Hello? Hello? Byron? Say something! What's going on on Beehive Island right now?!"
The base commander held the Den Den Mushi, his voice filled with urgency.
The subordinate sent to Beehive Island to assist in the investigation had just called to say that something had happened on Beehive Island, but before he could finish speaking, a scream came from the other end.
Then there was silence.
After repeatedly asking without receiving any answer, the Vice Admiral general base commander finally put down the Den Den Mushi.
His forehead was now covered in cold sweat.
Something's happened!
Byron is probably already dead!
He just said, "The Calamity Roa!"
No way?
How could such a thing happen?
Could that monster, which disappeared twenty-five years ago, really have returned?
Is he now about to take revenge on those who betrayed him?
It started with Silver Axe! Now it's Ochoku!
No, we must report to headquarters immediately!
This is a once-in-decades event!
If it really is the return of the Calamity Roa, then the New World, no, the entire world, will be plunged into crisis once again!
Meanwhile, on Beehive Island...
"What, what is that?!"
Bonney stared at the enormous creature slowly rising before him, his jaw dropping in astonishment.
Because what appeared before him was indeed a monster beyond human imagination!
Emerging from the abyss-like chasm was a colossal creature over one hundred meters tall.
Overall, it resembles a giant.
But its entire body was covered in feathers, and even more terrifying was the countless heads growing densely on its shoulders!
Those heads resembled both roaring Arlong and hissing venomous snakes!
From those hideous mouths spewed out scorching flames!
"I haven't seen him this time either."
Katakuri was equally astonished.
Doesn't Roa's ability attract all sorts of natural disasters?
How did he summon such a monster?
This is completely irrelevant.
Even Awakening should have its fundamental principles, right? What kind of "enlightenment principle" is this?
"Hey, Roa, what's going on now?"
Confused, Katakuri asked directly, "I don't recall your ability being able to summon pets directly."
Roa turned his head slightly, a smile on his face. "Is there anything strange about it? It's just a natural disaster."
As we all know, in various mythologies, in addition to the various divine punishments that are sent down by gods in the conventional sense, all kinds of strange monsters are also typical representatives of natural disasters.
For example, the golden crows in Chinese mythology.
For example, the Bull of the Sky in Sumerian mythology.
For example, Hundred-Headed Evil Dragon Typhon Roa summoned at this moment!
This guy must be considered pretty high-class among all the mythical monsters.
After all, this natural disaster wasn't ravaging humanity, but rather ravaging the gods!
It was a divine calamity that swept through the Greek gods!
It even once pulled out the tendons of King of Gods Zeus.
Since he can summon various natural disasters from mythology, then Roa can naturally also summon such a materialized beast of natural disaster.
However, like all other natural disasters, no matter how remarkable their setting or performance in the background story, they are all limited by the strength of Roa itself.
In short, the maximum power of the monsters that Roa can summon is himself.
Moreover, for the monsters to continue to exist, they also need to continuously deplete his stamina.
If he were to summon a monster with equal power to him, even if the world were filled with an endless stream of black energy, he would have virtually no energy left to do anything else.
Once summoned, the monster's stamina will be depleted, and the stamina restored by the absorbed black energy will become the energy required to sustain the monster's continued existence.
However, if Typhon, for example, only possesses half of his power, then that would be fine.
Half of its physical strength was used up, and only half of the absorbed black energy was used to maintain the monster's existence.
In this way, his stamina will be quickly restored, and his recovery ability will only be weakened by half, which will not affect his normal combat.
And what about the monster that possesses half his power?
Roa smiled and said, "Uncle Ochoku, enjoy yourself."
"Roar!"
The monster, with a full hundred heads, roared.
With just a roar, a violent wind swept across the entire island in that instant.
Vast stretches of buildings, along with the pirates fighting between them, were blown away.
On the sea outside the island, huge waves surged instantly.
Wow! That's amazing!
Morgans, who was trying to take pictures, was also blown away, but even so, the birdman was still laughing loudly.
Not to mention him, even Bonney couldn't help but take two steps back. "Eh! This level of power??"
Ochoku's expression changed drastically at that moment.
A seasoned veteran like him could easily see the power this monster possessed—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as astonishing!
Roa, what have you been doing for the past twenty-five years?!
"Roar!"
There was no more time for Ochoku to think. The hundred -Arlong trampled the earth and crashed down on him like a collapsing mountain.
"Asshole!"
Ochoku gritted his teeth.
At this point, fighting is probably the only option left!
Roa will absolutely not let him get away with this!
That brat's heart is as small as a pinhead!
So, let's fight!
Ochoku leaped up and vigorously raised his right arm.
Haki surged from his arm, coalescing into a massive, jet-black arm behind him.
"Get the hell out of here!"
Roaring, Ochoku swung his fist with all his might.
Let's fight!
Then let's fight!
As he threw his punch, his massive, Haki arm also blasted out!
"Roar!"
The Titan roared, and its enormous fist slammed down as well.
Two enormous fists, almost the same size, collided with a deafening roar.
The sky suddenly exploded, and ripples spread out in concentric circles.
A wind, even more violent than Typhon's roar, suddenly began to blow.
And at this time.
Boom!
A thunderclap boomed.
Ochoku's expression changed drastically.
The dark, Haki arm exploded in that instant, and a fist as large as a small mountain slammed towards him with undiminished momentum.
Ochoku could only quickly cross his arms in front of his chest to block.
With a loud bang, his body flew through the air like a cannonball.
Such power!!
What kind of monster is this?
Roa chuckled softly.
Typhon was a Titan, best known for his unparalleled immense strength.
Of course, it's not just about strength.
The hundred heads of the hundred -Arlong roared simultaneously at Ochoku was flying away.
Fifty heads spewed flames, fifty heads spewed thunder.
At the same time, the feathers covering the monster's body were flapping, and a sudden gust of wind arose.
Thunder, fire, and gale—the three forces converged to form a massive elemental storm that engulfed Ochoku in the sky in the next instant.
The elemental storm continued its relentless advance, instantly sweeping across the sky and scattering the white clouds far in the distance.
"This--"
Bonney was speechless.
Such power?
It seems like even Katakuri's brother can't compare.
Katakuri's lips twitched slightly.
Roa is indeed a bit too strong.
Wow! It flew so far!
Roa shaded his eyes with his right hand, gazing at Ochoku who had been knocked away.
It has to be said that Ochoku's condition is indeed much better than Silver Axe's.
Silver Axe is even weaker than it was twenty-five years ago, but Ochoku is definitely a step stronger than he was back then.
This guy now truly possesses power at the level of Four Emperors Admiral.
No wonder Teach in the original work had to team up with Law and Koby to take down this guy.
Yes, but he's much weaker than Katakuri, maybe around the level of an early Four Emperors!
However, this level of strength is indeed completely inadequate compared to Typhon's.
"Roar!!"
The monster roared, took off, and charged forward.
Ochoku had just been knocked away and hadn't even had time to regain his balance, looked up and saw the ferocious monster leap up and crash down on him from the sky.
Thunder surged and flames roared on the massive fist, with hurricanes swirling around it, as if it were unleashing a cataclysmic attack!
The air twisted and trembled under extreme pressure, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain, as if the heavens and earth themselves were crumbling before this single punch!
"Roa!!"
As Ochoku's injuries rapidly healed, his roar tore through the sky, unleashing his full Haki without reservation. An even larger and more solid black fist cleaved through the air, crashing upwards like a meteor in reverse.
The fists clashed again--
For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world had fallen silent.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying energy storm exploded from the center of the collision, and a vast shockwave spread outwards in a ring, crushing all the building debris, broken rocks and trees on the ground into dust and sweeping everything away!
This time, Roa's war game truly came to an abrupt end; very few pirates could continue fighting after this attack.
At the heart of the turmoil, a dark figure suddenly plummeted.
It moved so fast it tore through the line of sight, leaving a straight and heavy black line in the air, like a divine spear of judgment piercing through heaven and earth.
The black line ended and crashed into the earth.
The next moment--
The entire ground undulated violently like ocean waves, rocks crumbled, soil churned, and countless cracks spread wildly outward from the point of impact.
Immediately afterwards, the entire island groaned under the strain, the earth's strata fractured completely, and the coastline collapsed entirely, marking the beginning of a cataclysmic collapse.
"This island looks like it's doomed."
Bonney looked down at the cracks that stretched out in all directions.
"That won't do,"
Roa turned around, "No matter what, this island is the captain's legacy, how can we just destroy it like this? Katakuri, it's up to you!"
Katakuri smirked. "Wasn't it almost completely destroyed?"
You really cherish the Rocks legacy! Is there even a single intact building left on the island?
All that's left is an island that's starting to fall apart.
However, since Roa has already said so...
The Mochi Mochi Devil Fruit Awakening activated!
The entire island suddenly began to tremble, and in an instant, the shattered island had all turned into white mochi, which was then forcibly brought back together under Katakuri's control.
Although it's a pretty useless Devil Fruit, with nothing to do except for the ability to transform into an element, it can still unleash considerable power in Katakuri's hands now.
As the islands converged, Typhon, who had knocked Ochoku down with a single punch, crashed to the ground. The instant he landed, his second punch slammed downwards.
Then came the second punch, and the third punch.
Even though Katakuri tried his best to control it, the entire island continued to shake, with wave after wave of mochi-shaped waves surging and crashing.
Ochoku felt as if he had been turned into a rice cake, constantly being ravaged by the monster's iron fists, with no power to fight back.
So strong! How can someone be so strong!
He's no less impressive than Newgate or Shiki!
Just how strong is this kid, Roa?!
Is a single summoned monster really that powerful?
Did he really hide away and cultivate during those twenty-five years?
However, this kind of attack cannot harm an immortal!
"Get the hell out of here!!"
Roaring, taking advantage of a gap in the giant beast's attack, Ochoku sprang up. His twisted body quickly recovered. This time, his Haki did not condense into a giant fist, but rather seemed to be covered by a layer of pitch-black armor.
He leaped up using Typhon's arm as a springboard, and like a cannonball, slammed his fist into the beast's chest.
The powerful force smashed a hole directly into Typhon's chest.
But.
The next instant, the hole returned to its original state.
Ochoku's pupils contracted.
Is it also immortal?
Behind them, Roa's lips curled slightly.
Typhon is essentially just a natural disaster he summons; even if he is injured, he can recover by consuming stamina or mana.
As long as his stamina is not exhausted, Typhon is indeed truly immortal.
"So, that's it."
Roa raised the corners of his mouth.
In that instant, a jet-black, Haki Inazuma leaped up from Typhon's fist.
Typhon is an extension of Roa's abilities and a part of Roa, so transmitting Haki to him is naturally a piece of cake.
However, this would increase the energy consumption even further.
But it doesn't matter, Uncle Ochoku is one of us, so it's not unreasonable to treat him with a little hospitality.
Suddenly, a huge fist came crashing down on Ochoku.
Ochoku's pupils constricted sharply, and he quickly threw a punch to meet the attack.
The dark, Haki fist collided once again with Typhon's fist, which was swirling with elemental storms.
This time, however, it was like an egg colliding with Tekkai; the dark, Haki fist was shattered almost instantly.
Before Ochoku's stunned eyes, the enormous fist opened as it approached him, grabbing him tightly in its palm.
Then, the giant beast slammed its two enormous hands together as if swatting a mosquito.
Finally, he twisted his hands together like millstones.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this scene, Roa couldn't help but gasp. "That must hurt so much! Poor Uncle Ochoku."
Has he always been like this?
Bonney asked Katakuri another question in a low voice.
"Um."
Katakuri smiled and nodded.
But is that all?
How could it be so devastating?
It's only been a few minutes.
However, Ochoku's performance was far better than Silver Axe's.
That guy was taken care of with just one slap from Roa.
The enormous creature approached rapidly with heavy steps, and bent down as it got close to Roa.
Typhon was no longer as ferocious as before; it carefully opened its arms.
A sticky blob slowly slid down from the giant beast's palm. Seemingly annoyed by the slow descent, the beast shook its hand downwards.
Finally, a pile of rotten flesh fell in front of Roa and his two companions.
"Hey, Uncle Ochoku, your new look is pretty good, very Picasso-esque."
