Roa's horns were glowing.
The airflow suddenly accelerated.
Then, the clouds in the sky began to move rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a massive hurricane that devoured everything took shape, swallowing most of the sky. The sky and earth were connected, and the world gained a pillar that supported the heavens!
"Hmm!"
Kaido's pupils contracted. What scale!
He could create tornadoes as well.
But compared to this enormous hurricane Roa had created, one that reached from heaven to earth, his was on an entirely different level!
With equal strength, could a Wind-Wind Fruit user create a hurricane like this?
Could it be that the natural disaster this brat had created was even stronger than what a corresponding Logia user could produce?
Kaido hurriedly tried to escape, but the hurricane's suction force and expansion speed clearly gave him no chance. It swallowed him whole.
"Thunder Welcome Vortex!!"
The whirlwind suddenly turned pitch-black, and black thunderclouds formed within it.
The clouds and wind merged together. Then, thunder illuminated the entire hurricane.
The pillar supporting the heavens became incomparably dazzling, as if it had truly transformed into a heavenly road connecting heaven and earth! Thick bolts of lightning rose and fell across the hurricane's surface, like divine dragons coiling around the heavenly pillar!
Yet Roa still clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
So many powerful techniques couldn't be used in the sky. He could only make do with lightning and wind.
Sorry for the poor hospitality. He hoped Big Brother Kaido wouldn't mind.
Inside the hurricane, Kaido roared in pain.
The turbulent wind made it impossible for him to control his body, while the pain and damage from the violent lightning were difficult to defend against even with his Haki.
"Fire Dragon Great Torch!!"
Amid a roar that even the hurricane and thunderstorm could not suppress, the enormous fire dragon forcibly scattered the hurricane and charged toward Roa head-on, unstoppable.
"Abilities alone can't defeat everything! Roa!!"
That was what he said, but wasn't this technique of yours also a combination of ability and Haki, Big Brother Kaido?
Roa certainly wasn't going to clash head-on with Kaido like Luffy and Kaido did. With a beat of his wings, he instantly pulled away.
Then.
"Meteor Shower!"
One bright light after another appeared in the sky at the same time.
Meteors!
Huge meteors nearly a hundred meters in diameter came crashing down toward Kaido one after another, like rain.
"What?"
Inside the fire dragon, Kaido's pupils contracted again. He looked at Roa in disbelief.
Did this bastard brat have no limit to his stamina?
Who attacked like this?!
But he immediately remembered another terrifying ability Roa possessed.
"My energy is infinite!"
Roa laughed heartily.
His stamina consumption was indeed enormous, but in a world Kaido could not see, endless black energy was constantly converging on Roa. He absorbed it into his abdomen, and the stamina he had consumed was restored completely in the blink of an eye!
"Brat! Who the hell do you think I am!"
The enormous fire dragon soared into the sky. The moment the massive meteors touched him, they melted.
However, the melting speed was ultimately limited. The meteors' tremendous force still smashed into the fire dragon, making it tremble nonstop.
"Flame Eight Trigrams!"
The fire dragon actually expanded again, and every part of its body began turning pitch-black.
Rumble!
The fire dragon spun across the vast sky. Its enormous body was like a giant god swinging a whip, and the falling meteors were actually smashed apart in midair. Countless fragments, wrapped in molten magma, fell to the ground, bringing annihilation to this wasteland.
The entire country shook. Whether they were civilians working or warriors fighting, everyone trembled in terror. For a time, the black energy throughout the country grew even denser.
"That's really outrageous! How could I possibly block that in a frontal battle?"
Roa marveled again and again. He would have been smashed into an idiot.
"As expected, I can't get close!"
The corners of Roa's mouth lifted. "Big Brother Kaido, do you want to keep going? If we're playing meteor games, I can play with you for a whole year!"
As long as this country wasn't destroyed.
"..."
Kaido fell silent.
He was confident that he was stronger than Roa, of course.
But this bastard Roa simply refused to reason normally, hurling all kinds of devastating natural disasters at him as if they cost nothing.
That brat's injuries and stamina could recover infinitely. Even he, who also possessed a Mythical Zoan ability, absolutely couldn't outlast him!
What kind of monster was he?
Even Kaido, who had been called a monster since childhood, couldn't help but feel genuinely shaken.
Back then, everyone in the Rocks Pirates had tried their best to overestimate him, but now it seemed that everyone had underestimated him!
This brat was an unprecedented monster beyond everyone's imagination!
Looking at the silent Big Brother Kaido, Roa knew that he was stuck in an awkward position.
He had come charging in, eager to fight, but had no way to deal with a younger brother more than a decade younger than himself. Even Big Brother Kaido would feel embarrassed about that.
Therefore, as a considerate good child, Roa decided that he should take the initiative and break the stalemate.
"Let's make peace, Big Brother Kaido."
Roa smiled. "Do me a favor and let's end it here. It's been so long since we last met, so let's have a good chat."
"...What is there left to talk about?"
Kaido let out an aloof snort.
At this point, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only admit it. He had no way to take down Roa, and naturally couldn't force Roa to join his Beasts Pirates.
He had made the trip for nothing.
Damn it, he still wasn't strong enough.
If he possessed the power of Whitebeard or that bastard Golden Lion, how would this stinking brat Roa dare act so arrogantly?
"Let's talk about our invitations to each other."
That was what Roa said.
"What?"
Not long afterward, a ship gradually sailed away from the Land of Endless War.
A feast was underway on the deck.
"This is my first meal in six years! I've almost forgotten how to chew."
Roa was clearly unaccustomed to tearing into a steak. His face revealed a hint of disgust. "Tsk, as expected, it's just as awful as ever!"
"You damn brat's foul temper really hasn't changed at all."
Kaido, sitting beside Roa, sneered as he guzzled his liquor.
"You don't understand, Big Brother Kaido."
Roa waved his hand. "There's no point talking to people who've never tasted the supreme delicacies."
"Enough with the nonsense, Roa. What exactly do you mean?"
Faced with Kaido's question, Roa licked his fingers and said with a smile, "I want you to join my company, while Big Brother Kaido wants me to join your pirate crew. You think it's one or the other, but only children make choices. Adults naturally want both!"
Kaido snorted. "You're just a brat, yet you're talking about adults? So what exactly do you mean?"
"It's simple!"
Roa's little face turned solemn. "You join my company, and I join your pirate crew at the same time. We'll have two leaders."
"What?"
Kaido's brows furrowed even more deeply. "Are you joking with me, brat?"
"What's the harm? From now on, we'll each call the other whatever we want!"
Roa was completely unconcerned. "You call me President, and I'll call you Big Brother!"
Haven't you always called me Big Brother anyway?
Kaido put down his cup, his eyes turning dangerous again. "If you still want to fight, brat, I'll gladly see it through to the end!"
Although Roa's strength meant Kaido couldn't take him down even after they left the Land of Endless War, that wasn't a reason for him to toy with Kaido!
"Don't get excited, Big Brother Kaido."
Roa waved his hands repeatedly. "You want to overthrow the World Government and establish a new order, while I also want to overthrow the World Government and turn the world into a paradise of food. Naturally, we should be on the same side."
Kaido's expression visibly improved, and the look he gave Roa became much friendlier.
That was right. Their goals were indeed the same!
Roa longed for humanity's suffering, while what he himself yearned for was a world where the strong could freely trample the weak!
Wouldn't the two of them be a perfect match?
"This is what I'm thinking. We'll become unofficial members of each other's organizations. Whenever you encounter trouble you can't resolve, I'll give you my full assistance. Whenever I need help, you'll lend me a hand as well!"
Roa said, "When the time is right, you and I will join forces. Who in the world will still be able to stand against us?"
Kaido's heart stirred.
Taking Roa as a subordinate was already impossible, but this kind of cooperative relationship didn't seem bad either.
