Am I going to die?

Am I really going to die here like this?

The demon Imu's eyes widened, initially filled with confusion, but quickly replaced by intense fear.

"No! Roa! No! You can't do this!"

Imu screamed uncontrollably, "I can give you the whole world! I can give you everything!"

"Don't kill me! I don't want to die!"

"It's really ugly."

Roa tilted his head, looking down at Imu, whom he held in his hand. "Imu, Joy Boy didn't look like this when facing death, did he?"

"However, it's true that if a villain has to look like they're bravely sacrificing themselves at the end of their life, that would be disgusting. Wouldn't that make the good guys feel no sense of accomplishment?"

"That's exactly what makes it look like they're begging for mercy in a pathetic state, tears streaming down their faces!"

To be honest, in his past life, Roa really disliked those villains who acted like they were going to their deaths heroically when they were about to fall from grace; it was just a loser putting on an act.

When the villainous boss is about to fall, he should make a complete fool of himself.

Even if I were ever forced into such a situation, I would definitely do whatever it takes to survive.

Roa's taunts did nothing to anger Imu; the former King of the World no longer dared to be angry in front of Roa.

She pleaded desperately, "I can submit to you! Roa, even my power should be of some use to you! Just spare me!"

It's not that living a long time makes one indifferent to life and death.

Or perhaps it's quite the opposite; it's precisely because life is so long, and we lack sufficient sense of accomplishment throughout these long years, that we can't achieve the state of "hearing the truth in the morning and dying content in the evening," which makes us cherish life even more.

"Submit to me?"

Roa raised his hand, gesturing for Imu to move closer. "That sounds interesting too."

"Right? Of course that's correct!"

A surge of exhilaration welled up within Imu, a feeling of relief washing over him. "My power can definitely help you!"

Only then did Imu get a clear look at Roa's appearance.

The head alone was so large that it blotted out the sky.

Overall, it resembles an Awakening beastman form of Zoan type, but it is closer to the beast form.

What appeared before Imu was the enormous, gaunt, and ferocious head of a tiger-man, as large as a mountain.

On his forehead were a pair of ferocious horns that seemed to pierce the sky.

Appearance isn't the point!

As Imu looked at Roa, a strange and intense emotion welled up within him.

It was as if what appeared before her eyes was some indescribable monster; the intense malice almost made the already terrified Imu vomit.

What exactly is he?

What exactly is this monster, Roa?

He is definitely not human!

The demonic form born from the convergence of human malice and his own abilities is utterly innocent in the face of Roa's power!

"Your abilities are indeed quite interesting; I find them very intriguing."

Roa raised the corners of his mouth.

Imu's eyes lit up instantly.

Will they survive?

Although I would have to grovel before Roa, if I could survive, there would still be hope!

Back in the day, how arrogant were Davy Jones and Joy Boy? In the end, they were all taken down by their own hands!

That arrogant guy, Roa, although incredibly powerful, isn't without a chance—

"But unfortunately, Imu, in your current state, it seems you're no longer able to resist me."

That's what Roa said.

The fear and despair in Imu's heart had overflowed.

Upon hearing this, Imu stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.

Farewell, former King of the World.

Dark energy surged in Roa's eyes.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

Imu suddenly screamed in agony.

Her already menacing pupils were now rapidly turning pitch black.

At that moment, Imu suddenly remembered.

It's that move similar to Black Turn Domination.

That guy Roa, he wants to turn me into his puppet?

This is what I love to do most!

Roa, you scum, are you going to humiliate me like this even at the very end?

But there was no way to resist.

What terrifying power!

Imu's eyes were rapidly turning completely black.

Is that all?

Is this the end of Mu's life?

At this final moment in his life, a strange thought suddenly arose in Imu's mind.

Joy Boy, the one who finally defeated Mu, wasn't the one you were waiting for!

The era you're waiting for will never come!

The Roa who defeated Mu was a monster that was stronger, more vicious, and more hostile towards the world than Mu!

The real disaster is yet to come for this world!

Then.

In his final moments, Imu actually laughed.

"Oh?"

Roa noticed the smile on Imu's lips. "Does becoming my accomplice make you so happy, Imu?"

"Of course, Your Excellency Lord Roa!"

Imu, held in Roa's hand, bowed respectfully to Roa with a bright smile. "The reason I've survived from eight hundred years ago until now is so that I can become a force under your command!"

Hahaha! You're quite the smooth talker.

Roa's laughter was like a thunderclap.

"It would be my greatest honor to satisfy you!"

Imu, incredibly obsequious, said, "Back then, I used this ability to completely outmaneuver Davy Jones and Joy Boy!"

"Hmm, not bad."

Roa nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

Putting aside combat prowess, Imu certainly delivered on the emotional value aspect.

Although he has been the supreme leader for over 800 years, he is certainly not just good at being a leader.

"Then, in that case, the world should enter a new era."

Roa lowered his head and waved downwards.

Below, an invisible wind formed an enormous hand, which grabbed the island-sized Uranus and dragged the behemoth upwards.

The Golden Lion, floating above the deck of the Uranus, glanced down at the wind hand gripping the massive ship and couldn't help but smirk, "That's really outrageous."

This is basically using brute force to lift this enormous thing up.

However, what's even more outrageous is...

The Golden Lion raised its head and looked up at the sky.

Beneath the clear blue sky, the enormous creature floated silently.

Its entire body was covered in grotesque black bone armor, with each barb reflecting a dim light under the sunlight.

Just looking up at him fills one with an indescribable fear, as if something monstrous from the depths of hell is floating there.

But aside from his appearance, the most crucial thing is this guy's physique.

"That's way too big!"

Charlotte Linlin, sitting on Zeus's back, couldn't help but marvel at the sight.

At this point, Roa's size could no longer be simply described as enormous.

His head is a mountain peak, his limbs are four mountain ranges, his body is a plain, and his hair is a forest.

While this description may be a bit exaggerated, everyone who sees Roa at this moment would probably agree wholeheartedly.

Because it's too big!

At this point, Roa's height probably exceeded 10,000 meters. Among all creatures in the world, the only one larger than him at this time should be Zunesha.

The Uranus floated all the way to Roa's side. At this moment, the large ship was only the size of a table to him.

"Roa!"

Kaido stood on the deck of the Uranus, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Is it all over??"

"Really, Big Brother Kaido,"

Roa placed his left hand on the deck of the Uranus, and even this slight movement caused the massive ship to tremble, almost causing it to plunge into the sea.

"You don't trust me at all? Is there any other possibility besides victory?"

Roa placed his right hand on the Uranus deck, spreading it upwards.

The great demon Imu stood smiling in his palm.

"Gentlemen, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!"

"Are you kidding me?"

When Hancock saw this, her already pale face turned even whiter.

Imu!

That's Imu!

That monster was turned into a puppet by Roa!

How could such a thing possibly happen?

Beside her, Robin's face was filled with only deep despair.

It's unwinnable. Even if Níðhöggr reaches his full potential, he can't possibly defeat Roa!

Why would a monster like Roa be born into this world?

In the ancient times, when the world faced its first crisis of destruction, the original Sun God Nika stepped forward and saved everything.

More than 800 years ago, although Joy Boy ultimately failed, he did indeed protect the world from Davy Jones and Imu.

But this time, in this day and age, who can stand up and stop Roa?

Even the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika was eaten by Loki, one of Roa's subordinates!

Only Níðhöggr remained.

Is one Níðhöggr enough?

Having taken the suffering of people worldwide as fuel for Roa fear the Dragon of the End?

Robin just stared blankly at everything before him.

What will the future hold?

No, the question should be: does this world even have a future?

The Navy personnel shared the same despair as Hancock and Robin.

The commotion Roa caused was so overwhelming that the pirates didn't even have time to deal with the remaining marines.

However, the World Government's forces are now reduced to just them; the CP members, due to their inferior strength, were all wiped out long ago.

Now, seeing the great demon standing in Roa's palm with a beaming smile, the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of the Marines has finally vanished completely.

"The final result was like this?"

Aokiji sighed dejectedly.

The navy, and his sense of justice, can only go so far.

Garp the Hero simply breathed heavily, while Fleet Admiral Sengoku bowed his head, his expression one of deep sorrow.

Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head helplessly, while Zephyr lay on the ground expressionless.

Fujitora's expression was desolate, and the heavily injured Akainu was swaying as he tried to stand up.

In the distant sky, Kizaru, his form solidified, wiped the sweat from his brow. "Now, there's nothing anyone can do."

The ending was already decided; all their struggles and efforts could only come to an end here.

The Kuja Pirates and the remnants of the Navy were filled with despair, while the pirate alliance was overjoyed.

"Hehehe! You actually turned Imu into your puppet?"

Kaido immediately burst into laughter, "Roa, just how strong have you become now?!"

"Well, I'd say I'm practically invincible."

"I'm laughing, "Roa said.

"Invincible under heaven?"

The Golden Lion leisurely lit his cigar, both swords already sheathed. Everything had settled, and there was no need to continue the fight.

Roa's first swordsmanship teacher looked up at the disciple who was as big as a mountain.

Indeed, there is probably no one in this world who can rival Roa.

Unrivaled under heaven, truly deserving of the title.

Before this, he had never imagined that he could teach such a disciple.

That Rocks probably never expected this either, right?

Although he favored Roa back then, and everyone even thought Roa was his chosen successor.

But even Rocks never imagined that Roa could achieve this, did he?

"Mother, Mother! Anyway! We've successfully taken over this world, right!"

Charlotte Linlin was incredibly excited.

"If this is only the world, then no one should be able to stop us."

"I'm laughing, "Roa said.

"Hahaha! As expected of the Boss! Absolutely amazing!!"

Teach also burst into laughter.

I'll repeat myself again: choosing to follow Boss back then was the best decision I ever made in my life!

Didn't that mean they won all the way to the end?

Even Imu, who ruled the world for eight hundred years, was utterly helpless in front of the Boss!

Everyone had a cheerful expression on their face.

Without a doubt, this world now belongs to them!

Roa became the true King of the World, and the entire world was in his grasp!

And those below Roa, the highest levels of these pirate alliances, will naturally become the Celestial Dragons of the new era!

No, they are the Five Elders of the new era!

In fact, Roa treated them with far more respect than Imu treated the Five Elders!

"So,"

Katakuri turned around and looked at the silent Marines.

What should we do with these guys?

Roa lowered his head, looking down at the numb-faced marines, and said with interest, "Hmm, those who once fought for justice have ended up as lackeys of the evil villain boss, even using more cruel methods to suppress the people. Isn't this script interesting?"

"Roa!!!"

With a roar, the Marine Hero leaped into the air, his jet-black iron fist smashing directly towards Roa.

We can't win.

Garp knew better than anyone that his all-out attack probably wouldn't even scratch Roa's head at this moment.

However, the question now is not whether we can win or not.

"Roa!!"

The already critically injured and dying Sengoku desperately entered Buddha Form mode again, unleashing a shockwave at Roa.

Zephyr, who was also created by Redfield, leaped up and delivered a flying kick.

A staggering Akainu unleashed his final Magma Fist, Aokiji followed closely behind Garp, leaping into the air to deliver the same blow.

Fujitora unleashed a powerful strike, gravity merging into his attack.

Kizaru, the only one who could possibly escape, crossed his arms and unleashed a barrage of light bullets.

Vice Admiral Tsuru launched himself forward, followed closely by Gion and Chaton.

The remaining navy soldiers launched a desperate charge.

Roa just smiled. "How interesting."

An invisible wave rippled in the air before him, and his surging domineering Haki easily blocked all attacks.

Just like the last evolution, Roa's Conqueror's Haki has also evolved to a completely new level.

Then.

A large amount of black energy poured into Roa's body, and his eyes turned from black to white.

"Oh my god!!"

Almost instantly, all the sailors began to scream in agony.

The ability to manipulate emotions has evolved once again, to the point that emotions are no longer even necessary.

As long as there's enough black energy, you can absolutely fly bricks with tremendous force!

Then.

"Lord Roa!!"

One by one, the figures straightened up and then respectfully knelt down before Roa.

The Golden Lion couldn't help but smirk as he watched this scene.

If these guys are all like this, then even if he faces Roa's attack, he probably won't fare much better.

Who in the world can resist?

That's an exaggeration.

"Um."

Roa nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

The lineup of the Changgui is more impressive than ever before!

"Then, let's go and conquer the whole world!"

Yes, first become the King of the World, and then conquer the world.

Isn't this backwards?

Never mind, it's about the same.
