Aerial Ace! Before the Throne!

If someone were to look down upon this ocean from outside the world at this moment, they would see a clearly visible sphere of chaotic color.

Destruction has never been so concrete as it is at this moment.

The entire East Blue was struck by a massive disaster.

Leaving aside the unfortunate souls directly caught in the massive explosion, the raging shockwaves were now creating giant waves that were spreading in all directions, threatening to engulf all the surrounding islands.

That's why Roa said before that it would be futile to escape anywhere.

"----"

In Logue Town, Robin unconsciously gripped Roa's sleeve tightly.

An explosion of this scale!

Are you kidding me!

Is this truly a clash of forces at the level of Ancient Weapon?

This very first clash will bring a massive disaster to the East Blue!

What would happen if the fight continued?

Robin didn't even dare to think about it any further.

In the distant sky.

"Hold head high!"

The black dragon roared in great displeasure.

Did it miss?

Shanks sighed with some regret.

It would be great if I could take down Roa with a single breath attack.

However, if that monster were to be defeated so easily, then he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Imu's conquest of the world.

"Charge! Níðhöggr!"

The black dragon sped forward, rapidly closing the distance to Logue Town.

One thousand kilometers, eight hundred kilometers, six hundred kilometers, five hundred kilometers, and then...

"They're here!!"

Inside the Calamity City, Katakuri shouted almost in unison.

I can now clearly perceive Observation Haki!

In that case!

"Fire!!"

And then, in the next instant, the Calamity City roared with heavy artillery fire once again.

It's not over yet; Uranus, who stands shoulder to shoulder with the Calamity City, has also opened fire.

Thirteen dazzling crimson beams of light shot out from the sky!

Meanwhile, in the deep sea not far from Logue Town, a massive steel ship, silently floating in the dark waters, also raised its cannons, aiming at the black dragon in the distant sky.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The seawater evaporated in an instant, and beams of light shot up.

"---- Roa!!"

In Logue Town, Robin couldn't help but scream.

Uranus, Pluton, and the clone of Pluton, the Calamity City —are these three Ancient Weapon about to unleash their full power?

In the distant sky, the black dragon, which had just released a breath, suddenly tensed up.

With his Observation Haki surpassing everyone else's, he immediately sensed the approaching killing intent.

The black dragon unleashed its full speed, its wings flapping wildly, its body shooting through the sky like an arrow released from a bow.

Beams of light, each carrying destructive power, rained down from the sky.

It moved so fast that it pierced through hundreds of kilometers of sky in an instant!

But at this moment, the black dragon displayed astonishing agility, constantly weaving between the beam cannons.

"It looks like they're playing hide-and-seek with us!"

Inside the Calamity City, Katakuri smirked, "Don't give him any room to hide!"

"Leave it to me!"

Fujitora nodded slightly.

Thus, Pluton and Uranus, under their control, also began to turn their cannons around.

The three people wielding the three Ancient Weapons are among the most outstanding Observation Haki masters of their time.

Anyone of them has long since reached the level of Observation Haki Future Sight.

Even though they are hundreds of kilometers apart, they are still able to make corresponding adjustments based on Níðhöggr's actions in the first instance.

Beam cannons followed closely, and several of the shots nearly hit Níðhöggr.

But at that very moment, the black dragon unleashed a roar, deflecting several artillery shells.

He raised his arms, and the two giant cannons mounted on the backs of his two claws fired as well. The two cannons, whose power was in no way inferior to that of Ancient Weapon, fired, and several more brilliant suns bloomed in the sky.

The continuous explosions shook the heavens and the earth; the seas boiled and the continental plates trembled.

Even Roa, far away in Logue Town, felt the oncoming gale, and the entire island was whipped into a sandstorm.

Not to mention the people on the back of the black dragon near the explosion.

In an instant, large numbers of brave warriors were blown away.

It wasn't just a matter of being blown away; the violent shockwave nearly crushed their bodies, turning everyone into a pile of mangled flesh.

Those who managed to stay afloat were in equally terrible condition, their skin torn, bleeding profusely, and their internal organs groaning. Even Armament Haki couldn't protect them; they were just one step away from death!

Is this what battles involving Ancient Weapon are like?

Shanks gritted his teeth.

It seems they were too optimistic!

This level of battle is not something ordinary people should participate in!

However, everyone here had mustered their courage and risked everything to be here, and they absolutely could not let them die in vain before they even had a chance to see Roa!

Níðhöggr!!

Shanks roared furiously, "Charge!"

"Hold head high!!!"

Black Dragon seemed to be infected by his friend's anger. After letting out a hoarse roar, he stopped charging straight ahead and began to move in an S-shape.

At the same time, the black dragon's domineering Haki began to surge.

At that moment, the Haki even began to surge backward, transforming into propulsion.

He had witnessed how Roa used Haki, and having long since reached the same level, he could do the same thing.

The black dragon's speed began to surge again at an absurd level.

However, the shelling that came from the opposite direction never stopped.

But this time, it was far less easy to intercept Níðhöggr than before.

After all, the distance was too great, and Enel and the others needed a certain amount of time just to adjust the position of the cannon muzzle, making aiming a very difficult task.

Even so, they continued to launch precise sniping attacks using their Observation Haki, but Idhogg could easily block all of these attacks with just a few breaths.

If there was no time to spare, he used the two giant cannons mounted on his arms to meet the attack.

The entire East Blue is experiencing continuous and violent tremors.

Some islands were blasted apart, leaving only a deep underwater canyon.

Some deep-sea areas have been compressed, forming mountain ranges.

This sea area has completely collapsed.

"Whoa!"

Roa felt the constant vibrations coming from his buttocks. "So this is how people back then almost destroyed the whole world?"

"Roa!"

Robin said anxiously, "Don't continue fighting like this!!"

In the ancient times, when Nika saved the world, it was nothing more than a clash between two Ancient Weapons!

The chaotic battle between Davy Jones, Joy Boy, and Imu eight hundred years ago, if we don't count Aquaman, was just a clash of three Ancient Weapons!

Now, four weapons with earth-shattering power are clashing!

This world cannot withstand it.

If these continuous collisions continue, this world will sooner or later be completely destroyed and plunged into the abyss of destruction!

Even if Roa were to defeat Shanks and his crew right now, it would be better than the world facing its final destruction!

"No, Robin,"

Roa shook his head without hesitation, refusing, "How can the Demon King make his appearance before the hero has even reached my throne?"

Robin remained silent.

Although she was quite certain that Roa harbored feelings of love for her and Hancock.

But for Roa, love was merely a diversion in his life.

Once he's made a decision, no one can change it!

Robin clenched his fists involuntarily.

She was even thinking, "Shanks, hurry up and come here!!"

"Yay! Hahaha!!"

Inside the Calamity City, Enel laughed maniacally, "Such power! A few shots at the sea, and the entire ocean would be submerged by giant waves!"

"Not just giant waves,"

Katakuri wholeheartedly agreed, "What's even more terrifying is the shifting of the Earth's crust! The Red Line was created because of the clash of the Ancient Weapon!"

In that distant, ancient era, a terrifying weapon known as the Earth God, at the cost of its own destruction, completely altered the landscape of the world!

"None of that matters! The key is this guy's extraordinary agility. Our attack seemed to have been completely anticipated by him. Is it because of his Observation Haki?"

Fujitora was taken aback.

It's going to be very difficult to hit!

The black dragon is approaching at an astonishing speed!

"Even the Dragon of the End can master Haki!"

Katakuri said, "Given that guy's level of existence, his Observation Haki is certainly far beyond our imagination!"

"If it weren't for our numerical advantage, a single Ancient Weapon would probably be no match for him!"

It took Joy Boy quite a while to defeat Davy Jones with his three Ancient Weapons, and in the end, he actually won in a one-on-one duel with Davy Jones!

"Don't rush, because the distance is too far right now. As the distance gets closer, it will only become easier for us to aim!"

Katakuri shouted, "In that case, let's just let him come over!"

As a result, the bombardment from the three Ancient Weapon suddenly slowed down.

Then.

"The intensity of the shelling has decreased!"

Above the black dragon's head, Shanks shouted, "Níðhöggr! A perfect opportunity!"

The black dragon sped forward.

Hundreds of kilometers become insignificant at his speed.

Just moments later, the monster was less than 100 kilometers away from Logue Town.

Wow, it's gotten so big!

Although the distance was still far, Roa's eyesight was indeed not at the level that a normal person should have.

He could clearly see the menacing, jet-black dragon approaching!

However, the real battle is only just beginning.

Inside the Calamity City, Katakuri roared, "Now's the time!"

The Calamity City scattered in the sky, Uranus, and Pluton submerged in the deep sea—three world-destroying weapons—fired simultaneously once again.

A barrage of artillery fire, each carrying destructive power, crisscrossed the area, forming an impenetrable network of fire.

The black dragon that flapped its wings was a flying insect that had fallen into the net!

However, this flying insect was indeed quite large.

"Here we go again!"

Above the black dragon's head, Dragon roared.

The black dragon, which was moving forward at full speed, suddenly wobbled in the air in a Z-shape, just in time to avoid the oncoming artillery fire.

But it wasn't over yet; several more shells, difficult to avoid, were still coming straight at them.

The black dragon could only exhale its breath while simultaneously firing its heavy hand cannons!

Even so, he continued to move forward.

However, as the distance gradually shortened, such progress became increasingly difficult.

The closer the distance, the easier it is to aim, and the more difficult it is to dodge.

When they were about fifty kilometers away from the Logue Town, Níðhöggr's advance came to an almost complete halt.

Even though Níðhöggr's strength and Observation Haki far surpassed those of Enel and the others, it would still take him time to evade.

At this distance, attacks from both sides can be said to arrive in an instant. Even Níðhöggr found it difficult to dodge the full-force bombardment of three Ancient Weapons at the same time.

"No! At this rate, we'll never make it!"

Dragon was extremely anxious.

How could their firepower be that strong!

"The attack came from three different directions! Besides Pluton and Uranus, there was another weapon of similar size!"

Shanks frowned. "As expected, after Roa got his hands on the blueprints for Pluton, he built another Pluton Battleship!"

"The Pluton Blueprints?"

Crocodile forehead was also covered in cold sweat, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing Shanks' words.

He spent his entire life searching for Pluton, only to find that not only Pluton himself, but even the blueprints had long since been obtained by Roa?

"So what should we do now?"

Hawkeye was also having a bit of a headache.

In that case, let alone fighting Roa, they wouldn't even be able to get close to that man!

"Hold head high!!"

At this moment, Níðhöggr seemed to be annoyed by his current situation. After roaring, he charged forward at full speed without regard for anything else.

Níðhöggr?

Shanks exclaimed in surprise.

In that instant, the black dragon performed a fatal roll in the air, throwing everyone off him.

Then, amidst a series of gasps, he stretched out his paws and pulled everyone into his arms.

Fortunately, most people had been blown away in the previous series of explosions; otherwise, even Uranus would not have been able to capture tens of thousands of people at once.

Black Dragon held everyone tightly in his arms, his body accelerating forward like a black meteor.

"Create distance!!"

Inside the Calamity City, Katakuri made a snap judgment, "This guy has gone mad!"

Níðhöggr has indeed gone mad.

The black dragon took a deep breath, and a huge black beam of light shot out.

However, this time Níðhöggr's breath was relentless, continuously spewing out black flames.

One artillery barrage after another was shattered by the relentless breath.

Even so, Níðhöggr could not withstand all the shelling.

The barrage of artillery fire, coming from three different directions and fired from three Ancient Weapons, was too much, too dense.

If you can't avoid it, then don't try to avoid it!

An unprecedented Haki gathered on the surface of the black dragon's body as it rammed into the dazzling beams of light.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

In the sky, a series of earth-shattering explosions filled the entire expanse.

The Logue Town was shaking violently.

The sea roared, and the earth trembled.

The world seems to have come to an end.

"Hehe!"

Roa looked up at the fireballs exploding closer and closer.

"Is the last resort to tough it out?"

The Dragon of the End does indeed possess defensive capabilities sufficient to withstand attacks from Ancient Weapon.

However, this doesn't mean that attacks from Ancient Weapon can be completely ignored.

"Hold head high!!"

Roa could already hear the shrill screams amidst the earth-shattering roar.

However, it must be said that Heilong's choice was correct.

As the distance closed further, it was Katakuri who started using the rat-throwing machine.

"No,"

Inside the Calamity City Katakuri gritted his teeth, "We're too close. If we keep firing, we'll get Roa caught in the crossfire!"

Enel and Fujitora paused simultaneously.

"So, what do we do now?"

Enel asked instinctively.

Katakuri shook his head somewhat helplessly, "Didn't Roa just say that we were just going to test whether the heroes could challenge his power? Now they've passed."

Then.

The shelling suddenly stopped.

Then, almost the next instant.

The pitch-black meteorite crashed down on the Logue Town.

Amidst the rising dust and smoke.

A dark shadow streaked across the sky, "Roa!!!"

Roa, still seated high on his throne, raised the corners of his mouth as he noticed a straw Straw Hat.

Following this figure, accompanied by a thunderous roar, the enormous black dragon's claw slammed down directly towards the throne.
