Fateful Showdown! Dragon and Tiger!

The warriors have arrived at the foot of the Demon King's throne and launched an attack on Demon King immediately.

The boy wearing Straw Hat had a powerful, two-tone Haki wrapped around his fist.

The aura emanating from him intimidated both Robin and Hancock.

However, the Straw Hat boy was utterly insignificant compared to the enormous creature behind him.

The jet-black dragon raised its sharp claws high and slammed them down on the high throne like a collapsing mountain.

Although the black dragon was covered in wounds, with hardly any good scales left on its body, its right wing drooping strangely, and even one of its horns was broken off.

But its power remains terrifyingly immense!

This simple action alone caused the air to emit a desperate wail, and the forcibly pushed-out air formed a white shockwave that spread recklessly in all directions.

However, before the devastation caused by the shockwave could occur, the three of Roa, sitting on the throne, would first have to face a world-destroying blow!

That's how it should have been.

However, in the very next instant, just as the enormous claw was about to strike Roa's face, the black dragon abruptly stopped.

Because he saw it, he saw Robin sitting on Roa's lap.

Níðhöggr possesses intelligence equivalent to that of humans, and also has emotions just like those of humans.

Therefore, he is also bound by emotions, which is why he cannot bring himself to harm his friends.

"Oh, how touching!"

Roa chuckled softly, "Robin, this guy still remembers you."

Robin remained silent.

However, the other person didn't care about all that.

Boom!!

The fist, crackling with black Inazuma, slammed heavily into the air in front of Roa.

The air, which should have been transparent, seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier, rippling and easily blocking the Straw Hat boy's all-out punch.

"What?"

The boy's face, which had been contorted with anger, froze in that instant.

Is this Haki?

This level of Haki is exaggerated to this extent!!

"You're still a long way off, Luffy."

Roa said with great interest, "With this level of skill, you can't become the hero who defeats the Demon King."

Almost instantly, Luffy, who had thrown a punch, was instead sent flying by the recoil.

"Luffy!"

Dragon, who had just landed awkwardly on the ground, stared in astonishment at Dragon, who had flown off and crashed into a Luffy of ruins.

That can't be right!!

"Waaaaaah!!"

At this moment, the black dragon lowered its body, letting out a strange growl. The pupils of its huge eyes had shrunk to two vertical lines as it stared intently at Roa, as if it had encountered a feline predator.

"Níðhöggr I-"

Shanks, looking just as disheveled as Dragon, gazed at Níðhöggr with a bewildered expression.

Why was Níðhöggr so wary of this appearance?

Two years ago, when Roa defeated Imu, Níðhöggr was indeed terrified, but at that time he was not fully developed and was far from possessing the power he has now!

Why--

"Oh, and there are some unexpected faces too."

Roa looked down at the people who were getting up from the ground, their faces covered in dust.

The Straw Hat Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the survivors of the Whitebeard Pirates.

There's also Hawkeye and Crocodile.

What an interesting combination!

"Roa!!"

Dragon took a deep breath, stepped forward, and looked up at the man who had brought him countless despair and pain in the past.

"Your end is nigh, the world has no need of you!"

"How arrogant you are, Dragon!"

Roa leaned back leisurely on the throne, a gentle smile even playing on his lips. "What are you? If anyone should represent this world, it should be me."

Do you even understand who the King of the World is?

Say what you want!

Dragon's eyes remained unmoved. "There's no point in saying more now! Let's fight!!"

Shanks had already drawn his beloved sword, Griffin, from his waist.

He looked at Robin, who was being held in Roa's arms, with an unusually complex expression.

Then, this man, with his head held high, shouted, "Níðhöggr! Don't hesitate any longer! At this point, we have no other choice!"

They carry the hopes of the entire world on their shoulders!

Even Robin--

"Hold head high!!"

The black dragon then roared loudly.

The roar alone was enough to make the entire Logue Town tremble, and even the throne beneath Roia's buttocks began to crumble.

Of course, the throne that collapsed in the next instant was restored to its original state.

A hint of relief flashed in Robin's eyes as he sat on Roa's lap.

If Shanks and Níðhöggr still hesitate at this point, then they truly have no chance of winning.

Although, in her opinion, their chances of winning were still pitifully low.

Behind them, amidst the shattered ruins, a massive black Inazuma shot into the sky, and a figure roared as he leaped into the air.

"Roa!!"

The boy in the Straw Hat roared loudly, his awe-inspiring spirit shaking the heavens.

"Hehe,"

Roa Ya smiled with some satisfaction and nodded, "Not bad, you're very energetic."

"But I'm not interested in small fry."

"Come and prove yourselves, warriors, prove that you are worthy to fight me."

Boom!!

Before the throne, a pitch-black pentagram suddenly appeared, accompanied by black Inazuma and thick black smoke rising into the air.

In that instant, Shanks and Dragon's expressions changed drastically.

This, this is -

How could that be!

That's Imu's ability!

In the center of the pentagram magic circle, a tall figure slowly emerged.

"Hehehe, you are not qualified to fight the Boss! I will grant you your deaths!"

Her azure hair fluttered in the wind, and her exquisite face carried an arrogance that ran deep in her bones. Behind her, jet-black bat wings unfurled.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Shanks' hand gripping the sword trembled slightly. "Imu! Is he still alive?!"

Dragon's pupils also constricted, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched.

Not only did he not die, he was even controlled by the monster Roa!

How could such a thing possibly happen?

That's Imu!

During these long eight hundred years, this monster could rightfully be called the King of the World!

He actually became a puppet in Roa's hands?

Roa isn't just stronger Imu; in fact, he's left Imu a whole dimension behind?

It's not over yet.

Within the magic circle beneath Imu's feet, figures were rapidly emerging.

"Hahaha! Isn't that Dragon and Luffy? It's been so long!"

A bold and cheerful voice echoed across the battlefield.

Dragon's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Grandpa -"

Luffy, who had crashed to the ground, froze, "And, Uncle Zephyr, Uncle Kuzan —everyone—"

Imu had summoned all the high-ranking naval officers.

Not only them, but two other people also caused Shanks' expression to change drastically.

"Hahaha! Isn't this Shanks? It's been so long!"

The man carrying two large axes waved and grinned at Shanks.

Beside him, the tall, muscular merman boy greeted him with a smile, "Brother Shanks, how have you been lately!"

"Uncle Gaban, Coron"

Shanks gritted his teeth.

Roa, you scum, how far are you going to take manipulating people?

Not only him, but the remnants of Roger Pirates behind him also had sorrowful expressions on their faces.

But, as I said before, now that things have come to this, no matter who is standing in their way, they can no longer hesitate!

"Luffy!!"

Suddenly, Dragon roared, "You deal with Imu!! We'll handle the rest!"

But, Grandpa and the others...

Luffy was still somewhat hesitant.

"Now is not the time to hesitate!"

Shanks charged towards Gaban, shouting, "Fight, Luffy! Only fighting!"

Can we back down now?

Fighting!

Only battle!

"I see!"

Luffy took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and launched himself straight at Imu.

"You brat!"

A cold smile appeared on Imu's exquisite face. "You think you're qualified to fight me just because you've obtained Davy Jones's power?"

Her slender fist, too, leaped up with an equally Haki Inazuma.

David Jones died because of her!

"Get out of my way!"

But Luffy showed no respect for his senior and unhesitatingly delivered a heavy punch.

Boom!!

Two fists collided in mid-air, and leaping, domineering Haki Inazuma swept across Logue Town like lasers, instantly making the already dilapidated city even more shaky.

This was merely a small aftershock of the overwhelming Haki of the collision.

An even more violent shockwave tore through the land of Logue Town, and a bottomless chasm was instantly formed during the clash between the two.

Amidst a deafening roar, Luffy's body was sent flying backward.

"Little devil----"

Despite having the upper hand, Imu's expression wasn't exactly pleasant.

This kid is incredibly strong!

Is he really, as Boss said, the Joy Boy of this era?

The thought of Joy Boy fueled Imu's anger even more.

Of course, we would no longer compare Joy Boy to the great Boss.

Even so, the name Joy Boy still evoked deep hatred from Imu.

That was the name he hated and feared most in his long life!

And it's not just Joy Boy!

This kid even possesses Davy Jones's abilities!

"Go to hell, you brat!!"

Imu's black wings fluttered behind him, and the jet-black trident was already in his hand. In that instant, his slender figure pierced through the air.

Even a powerful figure like Shanks couldn't react to Imu's speed.

But there's also Luffy!

Having just been repelled by Imu, he flipped to his feet, twisted his body, and delivered a powerful whip kick, colliding fiercely with Imu's trident once again.

"Ohhhhhh!!"

Luffy roared at the top of his lungs.

Imu's eyes gradually darkened.

Because Luffy's body has begun to change shape.

The power possessed by Davy Jones, the deep-sea pirate who roamed the world eight hundred years ago and almost became the first King of the World, is finally about to be revealed!

Meanwhile, Shanks and his men had launched an attack on the ghouls under Roya's command.

"Mr. Gaban!"

Shanks moved as fast as a red Inazuma; in a fleeting moment, his body was even enveloped by a red griffin-like figure.

His eyes were fixed on the smiling man. "I've come to free you!"

"Divine Departure!!!"

The black and red slash instantly tore through space, and leaping black Inazuma almost filled the sky.

"Hahaha! Shanks! So full of energy!"

Gaban laughed heartily, brandishing his two massive axes, and leaped up with equal Haki, shouting, "Then I'd better get my act together!"

"Oh!!"

Beside him, his eldest son Coron, was still waving his fist, cheering for his father and his most respected older brother, "Dad! Brother Shanks! You both have to do your best!"

Their reaction only made Shanks's knife move even faster.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

With a burst of laughter, Gaban launched himself forward, raising his twin axes high in the air, shouting, "Axe Heaven Joy!"

Meanwhile.

"Pops, that's enough for now!"

Dragon had transformed into a whirlwind and appeared before his elderly father Garp the Hero.

His right arm transformed into a whirlwind, his hand forming a claw, swirling wildly with Haki, as the massive drill pierced directly towards Old Garp's stomach.

Dragon's eyes were filled with sorrow.

The father, who upheld justice throughout his life, became a puppet in Roa's hands, killing countless innocent people for him, and is now a notorious butcher.

Those iron fists, which were meant to protect the weak, have now become bloody hands that are feared by the world!

"Dragon Claw Fist - Storm Dragon King!!"

"Hahaha! Dragon, you brat!"

Garp the Hero laughed heartily, "You're fifty years too young to defeat me!"

The man was swinging his fists vigorously.

Now, even without concentrating all of my Haki, I can easily unleash this move.

"Infinite Fist Bone!"

Four people, two battlefields, at the same moment, collided with a deafening roar.

Then, in the same instant, the outcome was decided.

One axe cleaved the longsword crackling with black and red Inazuma, while another axe struck Shanks in the chest.

The overwhelming jet-black fists shattered the drill formed from the storm and then relentlessly bombarded Dragon's body.

"Wow!!" x2

Two cries of pain rang out as two figures were blasted away, their blood instantly splattering across the sky.

"Mr. Dragon!!"

Sabo, who was holding a steel pipe, suddenly became furious.

Shanks!!

Buggy, with his blue hair, was already screaming in agony.

How could this be? How could such a thing happen?

Shanks and Mr. Dragon were defeated in an instant!

Although the enemies are Garp and Gaban, two legends of the seas, they are old! How could they still possess such power?

No! Even at their peak, they couldn't possibly defeat Shanks and Mr. Dragon in an instant, could they?

Shanks and Dragon crashed heavily to the ground, their powerful momentum leaving two deep tracks as they slid across the ground, overturning another row of houses in Logue Town.

Robin and Hancock couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned their heads away.

"Hahaha!"

Gaban slung his axe over his shoulder with a backhand grip, laughing heartily, "This is the power the Boss bestowed upon us! Shanks, you guys are still too green!"

Standing beside him was the Garp the Hero, who also wore a broad smile.

Behind them stood Fleet Admiral Sengoku, four Admiral, Black Leg Zephyr, two admiral Admiral, and the Navy's Chief of Staff; the monsters pressed forward simultaneously.

Those who had miraculously survived the ace air battle were now deathly pale.

So, did each of these monsters receive the power bestowed upon them by Roa, as Gaban claimed?

"Hold head high!!"

With a roar of shock and rage, the black dragon finally moved, its massive claws striking down at Roa without hesitation this time.

"As for you, only I can handle this personally."

Roa sighed.

The next instant, the black dragon's chin was suddenly struck with tremendous force, and its massive body was blasted away by the earth-shattering power.

Roa stepped through the void and chuckled, "Come on."
