The Power of the Devil! Overwhelming Strength!

Aramaki's body was shattered by a single punch from the young Teach.

However, this is only scary on the surface.

Young Teach's domineering Haki wasn't strong enough to truly cripple Aramaki.

Even so, Aramaki was shattered into pieces by his attack, screaming in agony.

"The Tremor-Tremor Fruit? And Mythical Zoan? What's going on with these guys?!"

Aramaki screamed as it was sent flying.

But it's not over yet!

A figure flashed by like a phantom!

That's Roger, young Roger!

"MoMo - 100x Speed - Divine Departure!!"

This clone of Roger possessed the power of the Silent-Silent Fruit. Of course, his speed wasn't increased a hundredfold as he claimed; otherwise, even someone with the Lunarians bloodline would find it difficult to withstand.

Even so, his speed was so fast that even Aramaki couldn't react in time.

The blade, imbued with Haki, tore through Aramaki's body like Inazuma.

"Wow!!"

This time, Aramaki's screams became even more shrill.

Young Roger's Haki was even stronger than that of young Teach!

Moreover, he made his move at the very moment when Aramaki was knocked away and had no time to react.

This strike cleaved Aramaki's body in two.

This time, the elementalization actually backfired, making Aramaki's defenses even weaker.

Logically speaking, even a Logia Fruit user should have died after taking that blow.

But, Aramaki is Divine Knight!

The torn body began to heal in the blink of an eye.

"It hurts so much! You bastard! It's terrifying!!"

Thick vines and trees began to grow from all directions, like tentacles, sweeping towards young Teach and young Roger.

"Hahahaha! I'm invincible!!"

Relying on his immortality, Aramaki became somewhat arrogant and complacent.

"You two,"

Just then, a figure sprang into view. "Brother Roa said that this is the thing to use to deal with these guys!"

As the white werewolf Yamato leaped into the air, he untied a knot from the rope binding his spiked club.

Buzz!!

The next instant, an unusually thick, Haki Inazuma leaped up from the black spiked club in her hand.

"Oh, this attack looks like it's going to be really strong!"

A smile played on Yamato's lips. "Thunderclap Eight Trigrams!!"

The iron rod pierced the air!

All the vines and trees along the way were instantly smashed to pieces, unable to stop Yamato in the slightest!

"What??"

Aramaki suddenly panicked.

What is this power?!

Is this woman really that strong?

But then he immediately remembered that he was immortal!

What's there to be afraid of? Let's fight if we want!

Boom!

The iron bar slammed heavily into Aramaki's chest.

The immense force instantly caved in the man's chest.

It wasn't over yet. The iron rod, undeterred, continued to draw an arc, tearing a huge gash in Aramaki's chest.

"Wow!!"

Aramaki's body, which was nearly broken Yamato Yamato's blow to the chest, was transformed into a cannonball and flew out through the battlefield with a bang.

He crashed headfirst into Warcury, the Great Boar Charlotte Linlin had once again cleaved in two with her sword.

The enormous wild boar was sent flying by the immense force emanating from Aramaki.

Then.

Wow!

Aramaki screamed in agony, "It hurts so much!"

What are you yelling about?

Warcury got up and said irritably, "Lord Imu has already granted you immortality--"

The Great Boar was completely stunned.

The wounds on Aramaki's body have not healed!

What exactly is this?

"Mother, Mother! Oh right! I almost forgot!"

In the sky, Charlotte Linlin grinned maliciously, "To deal with you guys, we'll have to rely on Roa's Haki!"

She also reached for the knot on the hand of the broadsword.

Warcury felt a chill run down his spine at that moment.

Roa's Haki?

Could it be that they developed a technology to store Haki during this time?

Boom!

At that moment, the entire Uranus began to tremble violently.

"Fufufufu!"

A wild laugh echoed across the entire battlefield, "It's my turn to perform!!"

The entire skyship trembled violently, and with this tremor, a huge purple giant slowly rose up before everyone.

Inside the giant formed by the Combination Fruit, Doflamingo laughed incessantly, "So, who shall we start slaughtering?"

The giant's hands are two enormous cannon barrels.

This is bad!

In that instant, everyone in the World Government realized what had happened!

Let's rewind to a slightly earlier moment, when Roa had just taken Imu into the sky.

Inside the Uranus.

This is the base of the Marine Science Unit.

The scientists gathered here are nervously observing this war through images transmitted by Transponder Snail installed throughout Uranus.

Vegapunk, the leader of the Science Unit, clenched his fists even more tightly.

Without a doubt, this battle will determine the future direction of the entire world!

If Imu wins, the world should return to normal.

But what if Roa wins, what if that monster takes over this world!

Without a doubt, this world will become a hell!

Keep it up, Im, Lord Imu 're a god!

Only you can save this world!

That is, at this time.

Click.

With a soft click, the Air Door opened.

Vegapunk turned around, somewhat bewildered.

"Whoosh! It really is time to say 'Long time no see, 'Vegapunk!"

Accompanied by eerie laughter, a ghostly man floated out from the Air Door.

Vegapunk's expression changed drastically.

But it's not over yet.

"The boss specifically assigned us this task of finding you, Vegapunk. Now we can finally catch up after so long."

He kicked the ghostly man blocking his way aside, and another man stepped in.

"Caesar, Judge-- "

Vegapunk instinctively took two steps back, calling out the newcomer's name while exclaiming in astonishment, "Is it the Door-Door Fruit's power again? How many did you copy?"

"It's more than you imagined."

Judge grinned, arms crossed. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your technical support, Vegapunk. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to replicate Paramecia Devil Fruit so easily."

"..."

Vegapunk paused for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth, "I should have realized that Roa was far more dangerous than I thought!"

"That's why you were able to provide us with energy data riddled with errors."

Caesar chuckled, "But it doesn't matter anymore. No matter what you did, the Boss will always win!"

"However, because it's you, Vegapunk, the Boss sent us to take you back!"

"In this brand new world that is about to unfold, you will have a place."

Were they targeting me?

Vegapunk understood.

Caesar and Judge weren't enough; did that monster want him to serve him as well?

"But Vegapunk, what's wrong with your head?"

Judge looked at Vegapunk in front of him with some surprise.

Where did that iconic big head go?

Why is there only a cap that looks like the top of an apple now?

"Our main body! We've arrived!"

At that moment, a voice rang out.

Several figures quickly approached.

"Ontology?"

Judge looked at the figures with surprise.

There are men and women, and even robots.

Could it be that--

"Interesting. Looks like we'll have to have a serious talk, Vegapunk!"

Judge's smile suddenly turned strange.

"Don't even think about doing anything reckless! Judge! Caesar!"

Despite never having met Judge or Caesar, a rather large girl with pink and white hair standing in front of Vegapunk spoke up loudly.

Don't underestimate us!

"I'm not underestimating you."

Judge waved at them. "Go, take care of them."

From the still-open Air Door behind the two, figures emerged one after another.

Vegapunk's expression suddenly changed.

Calamity Knights —and there's more than one!

Let's go back to an earlier time.

At this moment, before anyone on the Uranus's deck had even had a chance to start a battle.

Higher than the Uranus, very, very high in the sky.

Roa, his body radiating flames, flew in, with Imu close behind him, flapping his wings in pursuit.

"Is this height sufficient?"

"Stop and keep going up," Roa muttered to himself.

Becoming too powerful isn't always a good thing.

Even a Uranus like him couldn't withstand a fight against someone of Imu's caliber.

If you don't maintain enough distance, it's easy to completely destroy the Uranus during a fight.

This thing is certainly quite precious; even disregarding its attributes as a weapon, it is still a valuable antique.

"Roa!!"

With her long, azure hair fluttering in the wind high in the sky, Imu, carrying a trident, followed closely behind.

Tentacle-like shadows appeared on the woman's body surface and shot towards Roa like arrows.

"Oh, a beautiful girl and a tentacle monster? Not bad."

Roa chuckled maniacally, casually waving the Tiger Soul in his hand, easily severing all the attacking tentacles.

These tentacles resembled shadows, or perhaps some kind of surging darkness.

That's amazing.

When!!

The jet-black trident came crashing down on him, but Roa simply parried it with his sword.

A burst of Haki Inazuma erupted in an instant, the powerful force forcing both sides to shoot backward simultaneously.

"Hehe,"

A surge of Haki erupted once more, Roa abruptly stopped. "Not bad, Imu. I've trained hard for over two years, and you can still hold your own against me."

"You scoundrel!!"

Imu was furious, "Still spouting nonsense here!"

However, she also had to admit that in the past two years, that bastard Roa had become far too strong!

This bastard hasn't even used his abilities yet!

Ultimately, this kid is still in a period of rapid development!

He's only eighteen years old this year, and his body may not even be fully developed yet!

Therefore, even Imu, the King of the World who had ruled the world for eight hundred years and had long been accustomed to all kinds of storms, was somewhat bewildered at this moment.

On what grounds?

How did this kid become so strong so quickly?

Even back then, he and Joy Boy seemed like two green recruits in front of him!

"Roa! You deserve to die!!"

Black energy surged from Imu's body.

The woman's slender body swelled up slightly in that instant, her wings on her back became even larger, a pair of ferocious, goat-like sharp horns grew from her forehead, and her long tail behind her rear end was aimed at Roa like a venomous snake.

More importantly, dark, fiery clouds swirled around her shoulders like ribbons of light.

"Wow! The atmosphere has completely changed!"

Roa exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the Devil Fruit born from the evil thoughts of humanity, the Zoan - Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Devil Mode?"

In the original work, Vegapunk once said that Devil Fruit are the power of human wishes.

This conjecture was absolutely correct.

The original Sun God Nika was a miraculous power born from the prayers of slaves in the First World, in the ancient period even older than the Void Century.

The power that Imu possesses is the most evil Devil Fruit in history, formed from the evil thoughts of people who were malicious towards the world during that chaotic era more than 800 years ago!

"Go to hell!"

Imu appeared in front of Roa almost instantly.

Wow, that was fast!

Roa hastily swung his sword to meet the attack.

When!

Amidst a deafening roar, Roa was sent flying by Imu's attack.

Despite her exceptionally slender body, she unleashed an astonishingly powerful force!

Just as Roa regained his footing, with a whoosh, Imu reappeared beside him, his black tentacles wrapping around his body.

The sharp trident was aimed straight at Roa's neck.

"I can see it very clearly!"

Roa's eyes flashed red, and his body twisted and deformed like clay, easily dodging every attack from Imu.

If neither of them uses their abilities, he is definitely much stronger Imu.

Therefore, his domineering Haki, which is based on his physical body, is stronger Imu's!

He can see Imu's future!

However, in the next instant, Imu grabbed Tiger Soul's blade and thrust the sharp trident straight at Roa's chest once more.

In the end, does it still come down to comparing numbers?

Roa had originally planned to have some fun with the controls, sighed and grabbed the trident as well.

Fine black hair began to grow on his left hand.

Roa's body instantly expanded.

Even if you can see the future, it's useless if you can't keep up with the pace.

Since Imu has already unleashed his full power, I naturally have to follow suit.

In the blink of an eye, Roa transformed into a colossal figure over ten meters tall, making Imu appear petite in comparison.

Did you catch it?

No!

Not only did he catch it, but with a gentle squeeze of his hand, Roa crushed the trident in two!

Imu gritted his teeth inwardly.

Sure enough, this guy became terrifyingly strong after using his ability!

But it's not over yet!

One after another, sharp tentacles stabbed straight at Roa.

"Ha!"

Roa simply chuckled, casually grabbed all the tentacles with his left hand, and then tore them off.

He tore off all the tentacles.

Using the force of being pulled by Roa, Imu soared upwards once more, his long right leg lashing out like a steel whip.

Why do people always like to be proven wrong?

Roa casually tossed his head back, dodging Imu's attack.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and roared.

"Roar!!"

The powerful sound waves, combined with the surging domineering Haki, created a violent shockwave that sent Imu flying.

A wave of energy, like a black beam of light, pierced through the sky, tearing apart clouds in the distant heavens.

Imu narrowly avoided the attack by flapping his wings, twitched his eyelids.

If you get hit head-on, the injury will be severe!

Imu opened her left hand, and amidst the surging black energy, a magic book materialized in her palm.

Weapons emerged from the spellbook and rained down on Roa like a storm.

"Ha."

Roa's lips twitched. "Fancy."

Bear!!

Roa is about to unleash his power!

Black energy roared out from his body, creating a massive shockwave that blew away all the weapons that were heading his way.

In that instant, Imu appeared almost in the blink of an eye behind Roa, and the trident he summoned again pierced Roa's back.

"That's it? Well—"

Roa shifted slightly to the side, his massive body displaying astonishing agility.

He caught Imu's trident almost effortlessly, then swung it away.

"Forehead!"

Imu's expression changed, and his body was immediately tossed around like a yo-yo by Roa.

"Have you had enough?!"

Roa threw Imu directly into the higher sky.

What power!!

Even Imu felt dizzy at this moment.

The friction between the body and the air even caused the clothes to catch fire!

But there are faster ones!

A dark figure suddenly appeared, and Roa raised his beloved knife high, laughing as he brought it down.

The roles have reversed!

So fast!!

Imu's expression changed again.

Boom!!

The heavens and earth roared!
