The lush green Door-Door Fruit in another dimension.

Robin and Hancock, unable to move, floated silently here.

Not far from the two, a specially made Door-Door Fruit android was rapidly ascending. Although its speed was far slower than the real-world Roja, it was indeed following the real-world Roa who was rapidly ascending.

"I see!"

Robin finally understood, "That bastard Roa was able to easily escape the battlefield through the door connecting to this space!"

"If we could take that guy down--"

The woman's beautiful eyes now revealed a sharp glint, her gaze fixed intently on the rapidly ascending figure.

"It's meaningless."

Hancock sighed dejectedly, "The scientists under Roa have mastered the ability to copy Devil Fruit. Although copying Logia and Mythical Zoan is still difficult, Paramecia and ordinary Zoan can be copied easily."

"The Door-Door Devil Fruit User under Roa's command can now form a company."

"To deal with Imu's Divine Knight, each high-ranking officer is accompanied by a Door-Door Fruit clone whenever they go into battle."

"What?"

Robin could hardly believe it, "Copying Devil Fruit?!"

Is this even possible?!

"Roa has recently begun searching for Imu's whereabouts,"

Hancock's voice grew more serious, "You know what this means, Robin."

"Is that guy already planning to start the final showdown?"

Even though her whole body was stiff and she couldn't move, Robin's face was still rapidly turning deathly pale.

That madman, Roa, is definitely not an impulsive person.

He would never have launched the final battle without a certain degree of certainty.

Unless, he is already certain he can defeat Imu!

But that's Imu!

He defeated Joy Boy and his companions eight hundred years ago, becoming the true ruler of this world!

For eight hundred years, the rule of that King of the World remained unshaken, and no one was able to challenge the monster's position.

Even without absolute certainty of victory, Roa still felt he was capable of fighting Imu, because in the past year or so, he had honed his Haki to an incomprehensible level!

That's what Hancock said.

This answer made Robin's expression even more unpleasant.

So this time, even when facing Níðhöggr, this guy didn't back down, but instead took the initiative to fight!

Is this bastard really that strong?

Níðhöggr, take him down!

Otherwise, I really can't imagine what the world will become next!

Of course, the Dragon of the End outside couldn't hear Robin's thoughts.

"Hold head high!!"

The furious roar transformed into a shockwave in that instant, sweeping away the dust and smoke from Roa's exploding waves of Haki.

After the dust settled, the enormous creature simply flapped its wings, and like a dense dark cloud, it pounced directly towards Roa.

"Hahaha, as expected, smoke doesn't cause any harm!"

Roa laughed heartily.

The barrage of attacks was like tickling Níðhöggr; only the initial Kamehameha wave managed to crack the scales on his chin.

The subsequent Prince's Battle Strategy can only be described as polishing its scales.

The black dragon was incredibly fast; even the wind couldn't keep up with it. Its enormous claws slammed down across the sky once more!

However, Roa's speed is also quite impressive.

The surging, domineering Haki transformed into a super thruster, propelling him upwards instantly.

"After all, they're not real Z Fighters!"

Roa finally drew his sword.

In the past year or so, Roa's Armament Haki and Observation Haki have also surpassed their limits, evolving into a non-human realm.

In terms of the manifestation of Armament Haki, in addition to the simple increase in strength, the most crucial aspect is that it is more closely integrated with willpower, making Haki almost come alive and giving it vitality.

The being known as the Black Blade is a product forged by imprinting one's own will onto the beloved sword.

Therefore, it's only natural that as Roa's Haki evolved once again, Roa beloved sword also received an upgrade.

The Crimson Blade, which was originally wrapped in jet-black patterns, has changed its appearance once again.

The entire blade had almost completely turned black, but it still gleamed with a dim, scarlet light.

A black current of energy rippled from the blade at that instant.

The air itself seemed to distort in that instant, as if a dense black current was compressing and collapsing the space itself.

"Drink!"

With a sudden roar, Roa passed right by the black dragon in the next instant.

"Hold head high!!"

The colossal creature roared once more in pain.

On Níðhöggr's right neck, the scales were severed, and blood splattered.

But.

Wow, really?

Roa looked back at the wound, his lips twitching involuntarily. "I didn't hold back at all!"

It only created a wound that was probably only about 20 centimeters deep!

This thing has a wingspan of five or six hundred meters, so this wound is just a scratch to it.

Its defensive capabilities are ridiculously strong.

This isn't even the complete version yet!

Hmm, but on second thought, it seems quite normal.

A fully-formed Níðhöggr can withstand the bombardment of Uranus and Pluton, which is a truly world-destroying force.

"Hold head high!!"

Roaring, the enormous dragon head lunged directly at Roa.

"Too slow!"

A red light flashed in Roa's eyes, or rather, his pupils had turned completely crimson.

The evolution of Observation Haki is quite simple.

Besides the significant improvement in the range and accuracy of perception, the biggest change is that Roa can now see further into the future.

Very, very far away.

A burst of Haki erupted once more, propelling Roa's body to the side to avoid the monster's bite. At the same time, the blade in Roa's hand slashed fiercely at the corner of the Dragon of the End's mouth.

But this time...

Damn it!!

It didn't even pierce into the flesh; instead, it sent up a burst of dazzling sparks.

Because the monster's mouth had turned completely black!

"Damn it! Is it supposed to Haki?"

Roa was quite annoyed.

Although Joy Boy had mentioned in his comment that Níðhöggr possessed the aptitude to master Haki.

But this is way too fast!

It's only been a little over a year!

Moreover, just as one's body has surpassed its limits, allowing Haki to evolve into a non-human realm, the Haki intensity generated by Nerohog, this born monster, is also frighteningly high!

I can't cut it!

"Hold head high!!"

The dragon roared, and the black shockwaves that spread out instantly shattered the air, creating cracks, just as if Teach had activated the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

The island below was struck by divine retribution in that instant; a violent force ruthlessly crushed everything on the island, even causing the island itself to crack!

The sea was surging and turbulent, pushed back by the powerful force, revealing vast expanses of seabed.

"Ugh!!"

This time, Roa was blown away, and the powerful force made his body feel somewhat numb.

This kind of attack with an extremely wide range is something he can't avoid no matter how much he Future Sight.

That's outrageous!

Roa couldn't help but marvel.

If a diffuse roar already possesses such power, what kind of power would a breath truly concentrated at a single point unleash?

Roa had no desire to experience it firsthand!

"Hold head high!!"

Taking advantage of the instant Roa's body was blown away, the dragon once again swept across the sky, its massive, mountain-like claws slamming down towards Roa.

This time, its claws were even wrapped in Armament Haki Haki!

Or, how about giving it a try?

At that moment, various elements began to surge forth from the Black Blade Tiger Soul in Roa's hand.

At first, blinding lightning leaped, the divine thunder of judgment unleashed by King of Gods Zeus!

Then, fierce flames surged, the destructive fire summoned by Shiva!

Secondly, an invisible gale is sweeping across the land; this is the divine wind of the Yellow Wind King that shakes the three realms!

Secondly, there were surging, monstrous waves, with the Christianity flood of destruction also entwined around the blade.

Frost was not lacking either; the white ice contained the deathly stillness of Fimbulb's winter!

At that moment, all sorts of mythical calamities simultaneously entangled the blade in Roa's hand!

The sky trembled violently because of these turbulent elements, the air was constantly being crushed and reassembled, and the natural disasters unleashed by the gods were about to destroy everything in the next instant!

This attack was named,

Ragnarok!

Roa simply brandished his knife.

The calamities cast by different gods from different mythologies converged at this moment, mixing with Roa's own Haki, and transformed into a torrent that destroyed everything!

The world lost its color in that instant; everything collapsed in the face of that single blow!

In the alternate dimension, Robin and Hancock simply stared blankly at the attack.

The destructive torrent, which defied description, now exuded a strange beauty, drawing the attention of everyone.

But.

Boom!!

The enormous claws shattered the torrent of natural disaster.

"Whoa!"

Roa stared wide-eyed as the massive claws of the Black Dragon of the End shattered his torrent of natural disaster bit by bit!

Are you kidding me?!

Aren't you making those mythical gods lose face?

While marveling at this, Roa accelerated at full speed to dodge the attack from the Calamity Dragon.

Tsk, no matter how powerful the background, in the end it's still a move you make yourself, and how much power it can unleash depends entirely on yourself.

"Hold head high!!"

As Roa soared through the air, a torrent of darkness surged forth.

"It's no use, I've seen it."

With a slight flap of its wings, Roa changed the direction of its Haki, instantly deflecting the attack in mid-air and perfectly avoiding the black dragon's breath.

Níðhöggr doesn't seem to have mastered the Observation Haki Killer technique.

That way, it seems like we can still maneuver for a while longer.

As he was thinking this, Roa had already instantly approached the enormous creature.

The mythical calamities that had been entangled in the blade have gone berserk once more!

In that instant, the torrent of natural disaster transformed into a destructive slash, striking the black dragon squarely in the chest.

"Hold head high!!"

The agonizing screams once again unleashed a powerful shockwave, forcing Roa to plummet downwards once more.

However, at the same time, his powerful strike also left a long wound on the black dragon's chest.

It's just not very deep.

To draw an analogy, it's like a normal adult getting pricked by a thumbtack.

It was indeed quite painful, but it wasn't really a serious injury.

"Tsk."

Roa couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.

It's too hard!!

No wonder, the aura this guy exudes far surpasses that of Imu's true form, which I saw in Mary Geoise more than a year ago!

Although it is not yet fully developed, it has already surpassed the god-level classification of Roa and is beginning to gradually approach the world-destroying level of true Ancient Weapon.

To truly defeat this guy, we'll have to wait until the next evolution.

Roa thought.

The black dragon roared at Roa once more.

This time, it was a pitch-black wave spreading out in a cone shape.

"Oh."

Roa clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Although the coverage area is narrower this time, there is no doubt that the power has been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, the coverage area is indeed narrower, but this narrowing is relative to the previous all-encompassing Roar.

In reality, the black dragon's breath covered a large area of the sky, making it difficult for even Roa, with his speed, to dodge.

Even if he could see the future.

After all, the black dragon isn't stupid; it adjusts the direction of its breath based on Roa's movement.

But.

Click.

A portal opened wide in front of Roa.

Boom!!

A pitch-black torrent swept across the sky in an instant.

Roa even yawned leisurely.

The dark, gaping gate transformed into a wall of sighs, carving out a patch of pure land from the dark torrent, allowing Roa to escape unharmed.

And in the lush green alternate dimension.

Robin looked up at the high sky, at the black torrent that suddenly rushed into this space and disappeared into the distance. He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Even Níðhöggr can't handle that bastard Roa?

This Door-Door Fruit user is such a nuisance!

While Níðhöggr is immune to Devil Fruit abilities, it can't prevent Devil Fruit users from using their powers!

The raging torrent finally began to recede slowly.

Roa's gaze passed through the spatial portal and landed on the ferocious behemoth.

If the attack doesn't work!

In an instant, Roa's eyes flashed black and white.

"Hold head high!!"

An angry breath came at me again.

"Haha, this trick isn't working either."

Roa scratched his head.

Its inherent strength is too high; turning it into a cougar won't be so easy.

In that case, it seems like there's no way to deal with it at all.

Tsk, he even said he wanted to see just how strong he really was.

It turned out that this thing was too strong, and we couldn't get anything out of it during testing.

Sigh, Luo also embarrassed himself today.

Okay, let's try version T0 again, using Robin--

However, it was at this moment that the black torrent disappeared.

A faint voice came from the still-open, Air Door.

"Níðhöggr! Don't worry about me! I don't care if I die! Run! Go back and tell Shanks the Revolutionary Army belongs to Roa!"

"Um?"

Roa raised an eyebrow.

"Hold head high!!"

The Dragon of the End roared angrily once more, shaking the very sky.

Then, without hesitation, the monster turned and ran, its wings flapping, and in an instant it had already soared to the edge of the sky.

"Ah?"

Roa tilted his head.

How can you hear that? How developed is your hearing? I can't even see anything resembling an ear!

And without even the slightest hesitation?

Can Robin still be used to threaten you?
