Judgment Day! Monsters Gather!
What is that?
The Holy Land Guards, who were closing in on Roa and his companion, immediately noticed the strange golden light in the sky.
"Flames! It's flames!!"
Like a gaping hole in the Milky Way, the cascading flames surged like a super waterfall.
"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!!"
The garrison soldiers screamed at the top of their lungs.
Then, finally someone saw Roa's face clearly.
"He... he is the Calamity Roa!"
"The pirate alliance is attacking!!"
At the same time.
Deep within the Celestial Dragons' settlement, in that luxurious office building specifically built for the Divine Knight.
"What!"
With his hair and beard completely white, turning him into a man with a full-blown moon-shaped head, Commander Figarland Gehring of the Knights of God looked up in disbelief at the golden expanse in the sky.
"What a joke! They've gone this far with their reckless behavior!!"
At that very moment, he saw a dazzling light pierce through the golden flames, plummeting straight down towards the Celestial Dragons' encampment.
At the same time.
In the deepest part of the Flower Room garden, in front of the Pangea Castle of Roa.
The black-clad figure, who had been watering the flowers, suddenly turned around, and his usually calm voice suddenly became shrill, "Madman!!"
At that very moment, the Five Elders, who had been scattered throughout Pangea Castle attending to their respective duties, simultaneously raised their heads. An angry voice resounded in their hearts, "Roa is here! Prepare for battle!"
The Five Elders' expressions changed drastically in an instant.
It's not Marine Headquarters, so it really is the central hub of the World Government??
Just how crazy is that guy going to be?!
Having just returned to the sea, are they already going to challenge the gods?
Madman!
That's insane!!
However, although he is a madman, he is an extremely powerful madman who requires the World Government to take him seriously!
"Get Garp and the others up here right now! They're actually heading towards Mary Geoise!"
"Also, contact Marine Headquarters immediately, and have Sengoku and Borsalino come over here right away!"
"Evacuate the Celestial Dragons immediately!! This place is about to become a battlefield!"
A room in the middle of Pangea Castle.
"Oh--"
Hawkeye, who was carefully wiping his beloved sword by the window, couldn't help but look up, staring somewhat bewildered at the clusters of flames falling from the sky like heavy snow.
Then, looking at the man's cold face, she couldn't help but smile. "So, this is it?"
The next room.
"Hahaha! What a crazy guy! This is the World Government's headquarters!"
Crocodile stood by the window, even holding a glass of red wine.
But the next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted, "What was that light?!"
A dazzling beam of light pierced through the golden flames in an instant, hurtling towards Pangea Castle like a falling comet.
Should we make a move?
The glass in Crocodile's hand shattered instantly.
Meanwhile, Hawkeye in the next room had already gripped the hilt of his beloved knife.
But at that very moment, both of them stopped abruptly.
Hawkeye turned around in disbelief, his sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, seemingly piercing through layers of walls, looking directly into the deepest part of Pangea Castle.
"That aura!"
Boom!!
Beams of light rained down from the sky, slamming into various parts of the city before most of Mary Geoise could even react to what was happening.
Boom!!
This led to a violent explosion.
Dazzling orbs of light bloomed throughout Mary Geoise, each hundreds of meters in diameter.
It's only because Mary Geoise is such a large-scale gathering place for the Celestial Dragons that the explosions alone would have been enough to cover a small town.
But this was just the light and flame of the explosion; the real cause of the widespread damage was the shockwave that spread outwards!
The air propelled by the powerful explosion spread out at an alarming speed, relentlessly destroying everything in the city!
The ground was pulverized, houses were bulldozed, and plants were blown away; in an instant, the entire city was plunged into destruction.
Screams, wails, and mournful cries.
This time, there was no difference between the Celestial Dragons and the slaves; they were all facing destruction and death equally.
Then.
Golden flames fell.
When the first spark of sulfur fell to the ground, the flames began to spread.
As the flames, like snowflakes, fell to the ground, half of Mary Geoise was already engulfed in flames.
The flames continued to spread, quickly turning the entire city into a sea of fire.
Once touched by this terrifying flame, there is no escaping it; whether it is stone, metal, or human body, everything that comes into contact with the flame is rapidly ignited.
The high and mighty Celestial Dragons fled in a frenzy, only to be engulfed in flames and instantly transformed into torches.
They were surrounded by slaves, also engulfed in flames, but now laughing maniacally.
Burn, burn!
Everything in the city was ablaze! The brilliant flames seemed intent on burning away all the evil.
"Oh?"
Roa tilted his head back.
The beam of light that was falling towards Pangea Castle was blasted apart in mid-air by a powerful Haki shockwave that shot into the sky.
A small sun burst forth in the sky, and although the shockwave made the entire Pangea Castle tremble, it did not actually cause any substantial damage.
"A true master."
Roa raised the corners of his mouth.
Is that your Haki, Senior Imu?
Beside him, an extremely strong light fell on Tezzolo's ferocious and twisted face.
His scarlet eyes revealed an indescribable excitement and joy.
That's it!
That's exactly how it should be!
Kill!
Kill them all! Slaughter every single one of them!
"What a pity."
Roa turned around and looked at Mary Geoise, who was completely engulfed in flames, and sighed deeply.
For him, this city was like a utopia.
I've never seen such a dense concentration of black mist!
Compared to this place, the Land of Endless War he painstakingly built back then is nothing more than children playing house!
They have to be Celestial Dragons! That's the authority!
I'm still too young.
But there was nothing he could do; after all, he was an enemy of the Celestial Dragons.
So, the only option was to painfully destroy the city.
Roa had wondered more than once if things would have been much easier if he had been born a Celestial Dragons.
Throat.
That despicable theory of bloodline, that despicable Imu!!
"Roa! You audacious madman! Where do you think you are to act so recklessly!"
Five pitch-black magic circles suddenly formed in front of Roa, and black Inazuma suddenly exploded in the sky, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble violently! The raging wind even blew away the raging flames around them.
With an angry roar, a giant boar emerged from the magic circle.
Then came Horse Skeleton, sandworms, strange birds, and Ox Demon.
"Oh!"
Roa raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and waved to them, "So it's you five stray dogs? Do you like today's Judgment Day?"
"Roa!!!"
The wild boar, Warcury, his voice laced with rage, said through gritted teeth, "Don't be so arrogant! Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!!"
The entire Mary Geoise has been devastated, and now even Pangea Castle is ablaze!
In eight hundred years, the World Government has never been in such a predicament!
"Today is your death day!"
The Ox Demon Satan spoke in a similarly cold and stern tone.
"That's true. As a philosopher once said, 'Don't spout nonsense; it only exposes your weakness.'"
Roa's smile remained unchanged. He simply chuckled and said, "You five stray dogs dare to bark and howl in front of me? I think you're the ones who's got the nerve!"
"Lord Roa!"
Although Tesoro already had a guess in his mind, he still couldn't help but tremble as he spoke, "Could they be... Oh, the Five Elders?"
Roa casually replied, "Just five clueless old men."
They really are the Five Elders!
Tesoro.
The leader of the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons above the Celestial Dragons!
The true ruler of this world.
Does Lord Roa not even consider such an existence worthy of his attention?
No wonder he was the world-renowned Lord Roa twenty-five years ago!
"You'll soon find out who's spouting such nonsense!"
The monstrous bird Azukigahama, Mars of the Five Elders who had once hunted Roa in God Valley, flapped his wings and coldly declared, "Roa, let's end it all today!"
Black Inazuma leaped up again from the teleportation array beneath him.
Then, figures suddenly began to emerge from the teleportation array.
The leader was a white-haired man with a crescent-shaped head, wielding a long sword.
Beside him stood a red-haired man in military uniform, his eyes indifferent, a long knife also slung at his waist.
Divine Knight, assemble!
"Hey! Aren't I still in the West Blue? Why am I suddenly being called back!"
"I'm also creating nightmares in North Blue. What happened? By the way, where am I? Why is it all a sea of fire?"
9
The speakers were an elderly man in military uniform and a young man with a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Shut up, Somaz, Kirin Gom."
The man with the moon-shaped hair, Commander-in-Chief of the Knights of God, Figarland Gehring, spoke coldly, "Take a good look around. This is Mary Geoise. The pirate alliance has attacked."
"What!!"
The Divine Knight, who had just been summoned back from the West Blue and the North Blue, were immediately terrified.
They quickly looked around at everything. Although it was burning fiercely, Pangea Castle was still very conspicuous.
"Ah!"
Somaz was utterly dumbfounded. "They've actually come all the way to Mary Geoise? Are there really such crazy guys in the world?!"
"Right in front of you."
The Shanks man, Figarland Gehring's son, Figarland's future heir, and the Knights of God, Figarland Shamrock, casually pointed ahead.
"Um?"
Somaz instinctively looked in the direction Shamrock had pointed.
Then.
"Roa!!!"
His eyeballs nearly popped out of Somaz's sockets, and his face instantly turned terrified. "I don't want to fight him!"
This guy really does possess the ability to break free from immortality!
You'll get killed; if you fight him, you'll definitely get killed!
"Shut up, Somaz!"
One of the Five Elders, Horse Skeleton Nusjuro, sneered, "Now, do you think you have a second choice?"
"Yes, sir!"
Somaz sighed and fell silent.
The Divine Knight have also assembled.
Tesoro's breathing became increasingly rapid.
He realized that what he was witnessing was not just an attack, but a real war launched against the World Government!
Lord Roa!
I love you dearly!
"Roa! You've finally appeared!!"
A roar came from the distant sky.
"Oh?"
Roa looked up and saw six figures walking through the air in the distance.
The one roaring at that moment was a one-armed man.
"Is this Mr. Zephyr?"
Roa waved enthusiastically to the newcomer, "It's been a long time!"
It was after defeating this man that I truly became famous.
Looking back now, I really miss those days.
"You scumbag, you're as disgusting as ever!"
Zephyr slammed heavily to the ground, his tone and expression both revealing an indescribable disgust.
"Roa, your death day is today!"
Beside him, Admiral Akainu spoke with a cold laugh.
"I've really been underestimated."
Roa shrugged helplessly. "These defeated opponents are now spouting nonsense."
"Ara ara, Calamity Roa, I'm not your defeated foe!"
Admiral Aokiji, dressed in a blue suit, spoke with a cold laugh.
Roa glanced at him, then nodded slightly. "It will be soon."
"You've really been underestimated!"
Aokiji plagiarized Roa's lines.
However, as he looked around, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "He actually came for Mary Geoise! What a madman!"
In fact, they had a contingency plan for this, after all, everyone knew about Roa's madness.
Apart from Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Kizaru who remained at Marine Headquarters, all of the Navy's top combatants were gathered at the spaceport beneath the Red Line. This way, they could provide immediate support should either Mary Geoise or Marine Headquarters be attacked.
Even so, when he actually saw the burning Mary Geoise with his own eyes, Aokiji couldn't help but feel a mixture of schadenfreude and shock.
That's insane!
"Is that the Calamity Roa?"
The woman with a long sword at her waist, a candidate for Admiral, Momousagi Gion, carefully examined Roa. "He looks as young as in the newspaper. How does he maintain his youth? Is he really older than us?"
Beside her stood Chaton Tokikake for Admiral, whose sleazy appearance was almost on par with Kizaru's. He rubbed his chin, "But he is indeed very handsome, almost as good-looking as me."
Even at such a crucial moment, Gion couldn't help but turn around and glance at this guy.
That's really bold of you.
What about the Shichibukai?
Standing at the forefront of the navy, the Marine Hero, Iron Fist Garp, turned his head and asked the giant sandworm not far away without any politeness.
One of the Five Elders, Saint Pith, glanced down at Garp, but wasn't angry. He simply said calmly, "They've arrived!"
They've definitely arrived!
Yellow sand drifted in.
"Hahaha! This is really lively!"
Crocodile, a cigar dangling from his lips, solidified his form to the side. "Is this the start?"
He glanced at Roa; he really hadn't changed at all since then!
What's wrong with this guy?
Then, a figure appeared within the magic circle left behind by the Five Elders.
Captain John's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were darting around, and he held a bottle of wine in his hand, but he couldn't bring himself to put it in his mouth.
"Oh, Uncle John!"
Roa keenly spotted him in the crowd and greeted him with a smile, "You're the only one missing."
John didn't dare to reply at all, he just lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Roa even once.
"What an incredible aura!"
A gasp rang out as a figure carrying a massive black sword descended from the sky, landing precisely beside Crocodile. The man, with eyes as sharp as a hawk's, stared intently at Roa's beloved sword, Tiger Soul, at his waist. "Even before it's drawn, that aura of carnage and bloodshed is impossible to conceal!"
"Is that so?"
Roa subconsciously picked up the Tiger Soul and sniffed it. "It doesn't smell? I clean it very thoroughly every day."
Hawkeye paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.
What an interesting man.
Seriously, it makes me so eager to fight him!
It wasn't over yet. After the Shichibukai appeared, a series of white figures leaped over quickly—it was CP0.
At this moment, Tesoro's eyes were wide open.
Monsters, so many monsters!
Roa tucked the Tiger Soul back into his belt, then turned to him and asked, "So, Tesoro, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Tesoro clenched his bloodied fist and said resolutely, "I'm not afraid of death anymore!"
Mary Geoise has been reduced to ruins. Countless Celestial Dragons perished today. So, Stella, although I couldn't avenge you with my own hands, I at least witnessed this scene! Even if I die here alongside Lord Roa, I will have no regrets!
"I see?"
Roa grinned, "If you're not afraid of death, then let's fight."
"Hehehe! It's so lively!"
"Hahaha! They're all old acquaintances!"
"Mother, Mother! Even I'm getting excited!"
Accompanied by eerie laughter, figures plummeted from the sky.
The Five Elders, the Divine Knight, the Marines, the Shichibukai, and the CPO all had a slight change in expression.
Because the people who fell were Kaido, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, Charlotte Katakuri Redfield, Teach, Loki, Bullet, and Abel!
One after another, figures landed lightly or heavily on the ground behind and around Roa.
The entire earth trembled incessantly, the wind generated by the fall alone scattering the raging flames around it.
"Hahaha! It's finally starting!"
Teach burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! False gods, it's time to step down from your thrones!"
Lightning crackled around Enel.
"Let's have a contest, Yamato! Let's see who takes down more people!"
Bonney laughed, brandishing his greatsword.
"This time, I can play along with you!"
Yamato was carrying a spiked club.
"Mary Geoise, this scene suits it much better here!"
Doflamingo yelled maniacally, "Hey, Bege, don't you dare drag me down!"
Bege, one of the few officers urgently brought back from the West Blue to participate in the war, snorted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"What are you waiting for, Roa!"
Katakuri stood beside Roa, his sharp trident already in his hand. "Let's fight!"
Roa didn't answer immediately, because of a slap!
Within the magic circle, a bolt of jet-black Inazuma rose up.
A colossal creature suddenly appeared within the magic circle.
"Master! Harald obeys your command!!"
A colossal Demon Giant roared as it entered the arena, brandishing a massive sword.
"Boss!!"
Loki roared furiously, "Kill him!!"
Roa still didn't answer; he simply raised his head.
At the top of the raging fire of Pangea Castle, a figure flapped its wings and flew down.
"Roa, this time, things won't be the same as they were twenty-five years ago!"
The woman who descended from the sky, possessed by Imu, floated in mid-air, looking down at Roa. Her voice was no longer as cold as it used to be; instead, it was filled with the purest killing intent!
"OK,"
Roa raised the corners of his mouth, "Come on."
