Godslayer! The King of the World Appears!
The pitch-black figure pierced through the sky in an instant, surrounded by a sonic boom cloud; even sound could not keep up with the speed at which she flew backward.
Wow! It flew so far!
Roa shaded his eyes with his hand, his gaze following Imu as he flew backward, and he couldn't help but sigh leisurely, "I guess this is what they mean by 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'?"
Twenty years ago, when I fought Imu, I always got knocked away. Now the tables have turned.
This seemingly simple exchange struck many below like a thunderbolt.
"How is that possible?!"
Warcury, the boar being relentlessly beaten by Charlotte Linlin, couldn't even muster the energy to fight back. He cried out in disbelief, "How could this be!"
Everyone from the Five Elders and the Knights of God was completely dumbfounded.
That's Lord Imu!
Even though it's just a possession state, and even though I'm only using Gunko's body, it's still Lord Imu!
Not only them, but even the Navy personnel who didn't know Imu's true identity changed their expressions slightly.
They didn't know the identity of this mysterious Celestial Dragons, but they were aware of her strength.
Roa, has this monster become this powerful?
"Mother, Mother!"
Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily, "Don't even mention you guys, even I can't understand how that kid Roa could be so strong!"
"Are you kidding me!"
"That lord is invincible! How could he possibly lose to a mere pirate!" Warcury roared furiously.
"Mother, Mother! Now open your eyes wide and see just how far these pirates you've been talking about are actually capable of!"
In the sky.
"·..."
Imu flapped his wings with all his might to steady himself.
She lowered her head and looked down at her right hand.
The trident was instantly severed by Roa, and a huge gash was cut into his right hand, with half of his forearm bone severed.
The regenerative power of immortality had, of course, completely failed, and blood was flowing out.
That guy!
Imu suddenly looked up, staring intently at the figure slowly flapping its wings as it approached.
Has it really grown this strong in just twenty-five years?
It's unbelievable that someone this powerful could actually be born into this world!
Roa!
Could this guy really be Joy Boy of this era?
Apart from Joy Boy, no one else could muster such a force.
No one but Joy Boy could be that strong.
"What exactly do you know?"
Imu's voice was cold and stern.
Just now, this guy called out his own name!
Just like the power he just displayed, this is also something abnormal!
The last person to know of his own existence was Roger!
"Hmm, what exactly do I know?"
Roa smiled with great interest.
Although there's no need to hide it anymore, it wouldn't matter if we just told Imu that we'd found the Laugh Tale and knew the truth of history.
But if I just answer your question, wouldn't I, Luo, lose face?
It's precisely because Imu is sexually frustrated that things are so interesting!
Hehehehe!
"So,"
Roa adopted a thoughtful expression, then reluctantly said, "If you can defeat me, then I'll tell you, how about that?"
"You think you can defeat Mu? You think you can defeat a god? You're just a mere pirate!"
Although he was already amazed by Roa's strength, he still had to say some tough words.
A wild and unrestrained spirit had already spread from Imu's body.
A strange spellbook materialized from her raised left hand, and a massive double-barreled shotgun was instantly in her grasp. A powerful Haki gathered inside the shotgun, and the next instant, boom!
It was just a gun, but the sound it made when it was fired was like a thunderclap.
The air was pierced through before it even had a chance to react to what was happening.
Two jet-black bullets, trailing long, Haki tails, were already in front of Roa's face in an instant.
Then.
Roa raised his left hand.
Bring your thumb and little finger together, and straighten your index, middle, and ring fingers.
Gently pinch with three outstretched fingers.
"What?"
Imu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face froze instantly.
"How could such a thing happen?"
Between the three fingers that Roa held up, the two bullets were gently held, unable to move forward even an inch.
Hmm, what should I say at this point?
Roa thought for a moment, then solemnly uttered each word, "Of all martial arts techniques, none are invincible except speed!"
The Fire Cloud Evil God was right!
"Go to hell!!"
With a flap of its dark bat wings, Imu returned like Inazuma, pulling the trident from the spellbook and hurling it at Roa once more.
"Still haven't learned your lesson? Your stats are already lagging behind in this version."
Roa gladly accepted the challenge.
Flames, lightning, gales, magma, and various other elements coalesced once more on the blade, which was billowing with thick, dark smoke.
Moreover, this time, the flames are not ordinary flames, the thunder is not ordinary thunder, and the gale and lava are also special; they are all natural disasters from mythology.
"Annihilation of the Four Directions!"
The Black Blade, wreathed in surging elemental turbulence, slashed fiercely at Imu's slender trident, instantly severing the once indestructible trident once more.
The various elements that spread out instantly swept across the entire sky.
"What is this?!"
Aokiji, who was wearing ice gloves and passionately fighting with Teach, who had transformed into a beastman, looked up in disbelief.
Thunder, flames, gales, lava—chaotic elements mingled together, filling the entire sky and seemingly adding a dome representing destruction to the world!
"Thief! Hahahaha!"
Teach burst into laughter, "Don't you understand yet? Boss is invincible! Aokiji, it's not too late to abandon your evil ways and come to our side! How about it! A guy like you shouldn't be buried with the World Government!"
"Ha?"
Aokiji suddenly turned around, "You call this abandoning darkness for light? Stop talking nonsense, you stinking pirate! Take this, Ice Block - Two-Spiked Spear!"
"You thief! Hahaha! Well then, die!!"
In the sky, amidst the surging elemental turbulence, a figure suddenly plummeted downwards.
"Roa!!"
On Gunko's slender waist, which was possessed by Imu, a deep wound was torn, and the wound was completely carbonized. In the past eight hundred years, no one had ever caused her such a trauma.
Imu is furious!
"Are you calling me?"
A ghostly voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Imu turned around in horror, only to find a left hand covered in exoskeleton armor had already grabbed her head.
Roa's smile widened as he swung Imu forcefully down onto the battlefield below.
Whoosh!
The air groaned under the strain, but the sharp explosion couldn't keep up with Imu's falling speed. Rings of mist rose in the air, and in the blink of an eye, Imu had crashed to the side of the battlefield.
The earth shook violently the moment she fell.
The ground was instantly pierced, creating a bottomless crater. Then, in the next second, the spreading force caused the originally narrow crater to suddenly explode.
The sound was as deafening as a supervolcanic eruption, sending rocks of all sizes flying hundreds of meters into the air. The once solid ground rippled and crumbled like waves.
The battlefield fell silent in that instant.
It's hard for people engaged in fierce fighting not to be drawn to the commotion on this side.
Due to a momentary lapse in concentration, Figarland Shamrock was sent flying by Katakuri, a deep gash tearing open in his right waist.
But he remained oblivious, his face deathly pale as he muttered incredulously, "How could this be?"
That's Lord Imu!
Not only him, but the Five Elders were also pale, and the Divine Knight were equally terrified.
Even the Marines, and even Garp the Hero who sent Kaido flying with a powerful counterattack, had serious expressions on their faces.
They had already experienced the Celestial Dragons woman's power twenty-five years ago, so why were they now completely powerless against Roa?
Just how strong has Roa become now?!
Meanwhile, in one corner of the battlefield, John, who was fighting one of the Vinsmoke brothers, was already drenched in sweat.
If even Lord Imu can't defeat Roa... "Hmm, that's more like it!"
Roa flapped his wings and slowly descended, his ferocious face full of a smug smile. He even closed his eyes in a state of ecstasy. "Behold my power."
This is what they mean by "showing off one's divine power in front of others," right?
"Roa! You deserve to die!!"
The massive crater below exploded a second time, and the enraged figure soared into the sky, charging straight at Roa once more.
"They really never learn their lesson."
Roa shook his head helplessly, "I've already told you, your stats are falling behind."
The Imu possessing this woman's body is indeed extremely powerful, having completely surpassed the so-called Emperor or King level and reached another level.
However, the high ones aren't actually that many.
If my stats before evolution were 100, this guy's would be around 130 or 140.
He couldn't even deliver a dominant performance against his past self, let alone against his current self.
While it wasn't possible to instantly kill her, it certainly gave them an overwhelming advantage.
How do you say Youlong? Youlong!
With a casual reach, Roa caught the trident that Imu had thrust at him.
With another pull, Imu completely lost his balance and ran towards him, throwing himself into his arms.
But Imu is Imu after all, the victor of that great war that swept the world eight hundred years ago.
Even in possessed form, she still displayed exceptional combat skills. In an instant, she released the trident, flapped her bat wings to stabilize herself, and used the momentum to turn her body, with an arrowhead extending from the toe of her long right leg.
The arrow swiftly grazed Roa's body.
Gunko's Arrow-Arrow Fruit ability has been activated, and the next attack will inevitably hit Roa along the trajectory of the arrow!
A powerful, two-tone Haki, wrapped around his long right leg, tore through the air as he arrived with a thunderous roar.
But Roa isn't someone you can easily deal with. Do you think twenty-five years of experience are something to be trifled with?
His reaction speed is far superior to Imu's.
With a swift release of the trident, he easily and comfortably captured Imu's jailer.
Then.
"Let your true form come."
He brought his beloved knife down with a heavy slash in his right hand.
Imu's pupils trembled again.
Rub!
In that instant, the dark red elemental turbulence converged into a giant crescent moon, splitting the entire sky in two from top to bottom.
Imu plummeted back down to the ground below.
But this time, Roa gave her no chance to catch her breath. With a flap of his black wings, he pursued her like Inazuma.
"Roa! What do you intend to do to Lord Imu?!"
The strange bird flapped its wings and flew in. Although it was far slower than Roa, it was near Roa's path, which is why the Five Elders were able to intercept it immediately.
Even though it's just a possessed state, Lord Imu is still Lord Imu!
No one is allowed to offend us!
A blazing fire in his final blend.
However, the flames never had a chance to erupt.
The next instant, the surging flames backfired on his entire body, turning him directly into a firebird.
Then, a black line flew down from his side.
The strange bird Azukigahama, froze completely in that instant.
A line of blood suddenly appeared on the top of the strange bird's head, running down its long neck, snake-like body, and equally long tail.
Puff!
The bloodline burst open instantly, and the monster bird's massive body was instantly cleaved in two, perfectly split in half.
"Mars!!"
Ju Peter, one of the Five Elders, couldn't help but cry out in alarm as the sandworm was being whipped like a lash by Charlotte Linlin towards the Great Boar.
Dead?
Mars, one of the Five Elders alongside them, died just like that?
"Um?"
Roa landed on the ground, tilted his head, and looked at the large spider in front of him, its forehead covered in cold sweat. "Are you going to block my way too?"
Satan's body was trembling almost imperceptibly.
Can you really say that you didn't even notice Mars blocking your way before you killed him like a stray dog?
"Forget it, it's just a web crawler."
Satan's eyes suddenly widened.
It's gone!
Roa has disappeared!
Forehead!
It hurts!
My vision suddenly started spinning rapidly; was my head flying?
The giant spider was spurting blood all over its body. Blades of light flashed across its body, severing all its spider legs, splitting its body into pieces, and then sending its head flying into the sky.
"Satan!!"
Horse Skeleton Nusjuro, who was playing a chase game with Enel, also had a drastic change in expression.
Two colleagues of many years were so easily murdered in such a short time?
Roa stopped in front of the crater created by Imu's fall from the sky once again.
"Hey! Roa! You took down my opponent!"
Behind him, Bonney, wielding a greatsword, looked displeased.
"Me too, Brother Roa!"
Yamato also looked sullen. "Don't you have your own rivals?"
"Haha, sorry, sorry,"
Roa scratched the back of his head and said with a grin, "But they chose to come looking for death, so there's nothing I can do about it."
"This is a one-time exception."
Yamato stood with his hands on his hips, a bright smile on his Yamato dashing and sarcastic face.
Roa smiled, then turned around and looked at Imu, who was lying quietly in the pit.
A huge wound had been cleaved from her right shoulder to her left chest, almost splitting her in two.
Even so, she remained conscious, spitting blood as she stared intently at Roa.
"As you wish -"
Roa heard her say that.
Then, the woman's wings disappeared, and so did the tail behind her.
Roa smirked. "The interesting things are just beginning."
A casual slash, a Flying Slash, instantly sent the already dying Divine Knight splitting up.
"Um?"
Roa, who was waiting for Imu to appear, suddenly focused his gaze and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Dylan! Don't push your luck!"
John is running away.
In the sky behind him, a pterosaur with outstretched wings flapped, unleashing massive slashes that relentlessly attacked Captain John. "John, accept your fate. The Boss won't let any traitor get away with it."
Captain John didn't speak, he just clenched his teeth tightly.
Do you think I want to betray you?
Lao Tzu was also forced into this situation. Suddenly, he felt a lightness in his body, and then collapsed to the ground in a slump.
After a brief period of confusion, intense pain began to emerge.
"Ah!!"
Captain John screamed and turned back in disbelief.
The body is still there, but the part below the waist is gone!
It's been cut off!
However, the immortal's eyes suddenly widened.
The immortality has been broken!
"Hey, Uncle John, you're here playing too?"
A figure stood in front of him.
John, trembling with fear, looked up and cried out, "Roa!!"
"I'm sorry, Uncle John,"
Looking down at the man he had cut in half at the waist, Roa said apologetically, "Time was limited, so I couldn't treat you like Uncle Ochoku or Uncle Silver Axe. I hope you like this simple half-cut meal."
"Roa --.-"
Captain John stared intently at Roa, his face contorted with intense pain. "Spare me—"
"Spare me, spare me, I'll spare you as long as you can live."
Roa looked at him with a tolerant expression.
Then, to make the test a little more difficult, Roa cut off a section of Captain John's slender, invisible waist.
Yes, that's what a test should be like.
"Wow!"
The piercing scream sent chills down one's spine. "Boss!"
Dylan landed respectfully in front of Roa.
"Get ready, Dylan, the real battle is about to begin!"
Without turning his head, Roa glanced at Harald, who was unilaterally beating Loki not far away. "Stay away from the Calamity City for now. Have the bears prepare to evacuate at any time if things get dangerous."
"Yes!"
Dylan nodded respectfully.
Roa twisted his neck.
If we still have some time, let's take care of Harald first, after all, we promised Loki!
Pangea Castle suddenly began to shake violently.
A jet-black Inazuma pierced through the massive building, shooting straight into the sky, causing the floating Sky Island high above to tremble.
"Shh!"
Just as Roa was about to go and cause trouble for Harald, he turned around with delight, "So you've finally arrived?"
"King of the World!"
