Ultimate Battle! Heaven and Earth in Human Form!

A massive, Haki Inazuma shot into the sky, piercing through the entire heavens.

A terrifying aura swept across the heavens and earth. The Logue Town, which had been forcibly held together by Roa, began to shake violently again at this moment. A super earthquake was triggered, and as a result, spider web-like cracks appeared on the already dilapidated Logue Town, and the entire island was shattered once more.

"This!!"

The demonized Imu's pupils suddenly dilated.

Such momentum!

This brat, he's only just Awakening, how could he possibly have undergone such a change?

But this is just the beginning.

It started as just a spark, but in the next instant, a brilliant golden pillar of fire shot into the sky, entwined with streaks of black, Haki Inazuma, standing between heaven and earth like a celestial road connecting the two worlds.

The earth is burning—no, it's melting!

Starting from that pillar of fire, the lava, like a giant python awakening, surged and flowed in all directions, turning everything in its path into boiling magma and billowing black smoke.

The terrifyingly high temperature distorted the air, and as far as Roa could see, the air seemed to turn into shimmering water, making everything blurry.

The rapidly expanding air transformed into a gale, carrying astonishingly high temperatures. The sea beyond the island was boiling, and white water vapor condensed into a thick fog on the surface.

"Oh my god!!"

Zoro, who had just been transformed into a demon by Roa, couldn't help but let out a scream.

Even with his Armament Haki, he couldn't completely withstand the astonishing heat.

Not to mention him, even Robin and Hancock, who were sitting on the throne, looked troubled and subconsciously used Haki to protect themselves.

"Luffy?"

Robin stared blankly at the enormous pillar of fire.

What a terrifying aura!

This aura was not only terrifyingly powerful, but also carried a strange sense of destruction!

It was as if everything in this world was about to end at this moment!

This chilling feeling is just like the one I had two years ago when Roa completed its evolution!

Is it not over yet? Is there still hope?

"Call"

The towering golden pillar of fire gradually twisted and then dissipated.

But at the same time.

"Roa!!!"

Anger erupted like a volcano, turning into a raging inferno.

Amidst the dissipating flames, a fire-man, whose physique was not much different from that of an ordinary person, appeared before Roa.

The intense heat that had threatened to scorch mountains and boil seas had completely dissipated, and the leaping flames on the figure seemed to have lost all their heat.

Even the surging momentum from just now had vanished abruptly, as if it had all been an illusion.

But at this moment, no one will underestimate him anymore.

Imu subconsciously took a half-step back with his right foot.

Then, the man's eyes suddenly trembled, and a feeling of shame welled up inside him.

They backed away!

I was actually scared by this brat and backed away!

Are you kidding me!

"Hold head high!!"

Not only him, but Níðhöggr, the black dragon trampled under Roa's feet, also lowered his head, baring his teeth and his eyes full of vigilance.

"Hahaha!"

Only Roa was still laughing, or rather, he wasn't smiling, but laughing out loud. "Funny! I knew it, Luffy, you definitely wouldn't let me down!"

Ordinary Observation Haki would certainly not be able to perceive it, but it's different for me.

Tsk tsk, this aura----

".

Young Luffy didn't speak immediately; he simply raised his right hand and pressed it to his chest.

The wound on his chest, inflicted by Imu, had quickly disappeared.

I no longer feel pain; instead, I feel an immense, surging power!

Luffy turned his head slightly and looked at Dragon, Shanks, and the others who were staring at him in terror.

His face, now completely engulfed in flames, showed no expression whatsoever; even his eyes were just two blazing orbs of fire, revealing no change in his gaze.

However, Roa, who could clearly see the changes in others' emotions, could see that the boy's heart was filled with sadness.

However, this sadness was abruptly suppressed, replaced by "Roa!"

The boy Luffy, transformed into flames, raised his head, "I will burn you to ashes right here!"

"Oh?"

Roa tilted his head. "Do you want to kill me?"

In the original work Luffy never said he was going to kill anyone. No matter what kind of enemy he faced, he would just knock them away. As for whether he was killed in the process, that was none of his business.

But now Luffy is bluntly saying he wants to kill him.

This.

"That's really interesting."

Roa's smile widened even more.

"If you continue to live in this world, then no one can be happy!"

Luffy raised his right hand, crimson flames erupting from his palm and instantly coalescing into a dazzling blade of fire. "Roa! You are the enemy of this world! The entire world is plunged into despair because of you!"

"Only you! Only you don't deserve to live in this world!"

"Shut up, you brat!"

Before Roa could speak, Imu roared angrily, "The Boss is the master of this world, and everything in this world belongs to him!"

"Those lowly commoners should be proud of using their suffering to please the Boss!"

Luffy didn't say anything.

Then.

"That's right! Luffy!"

Garp the Hero shouted, "The Boss has every right to do whatever he wants! How dare you spout such nonsense here!"

"Luffy!"

Shanks, equally serious and with a tone full of displeasure, said, "How dare you be so insolent in front of the boss! Kneel down and apologize to the boss right now!"

Luffy! Surrender!

Dragon earnestly advised, "The Boss is the master of this world! Don't do anything foolish again!"

"That's right! Luffy!"

Sabo, equally matter-of-fact, said, "If you continue to be so stubborn, we'll have no choice but to be ruthless with you!"

On the throne, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of both Robin and Hancock.

What kind of pain must this child be going through right now?

All his relatives and friends betrayed him and sided with Roa.

What kind of despair must this be?

"Everyone----"

Luffy's voice was hoarse.

Even a naturally optimistic and cheerful young man like him was filled with grief at this moment.

Even though I knew everyone was just being controlled by Roa, hearing them say those words still caused me great pain.

"Even so, you still want to fight, Luffy?"

Roa laughed and said, "No one will help you, no one will stand by your side. Are you still going to be my enemy all alone?"

"I don't care about that kind of thing!"

Young Luffy took a deep breath and took a step forward. "Roa! This world doesn't need you!"

"How arrogant!"

Imu had once again conjured a trident in his hand, blocking Roa's path. "The whole world grovels at the Boss's feet! This world doesn't need a foolish brat like you!!"

Without hesitation, he slammed the trident down directly at Luffy.

This brat was his match to begin with. If that attack didn't kill him, then let's try again!

Then.

Luffy, now transformed into flames, merely raised his head slightly and casually swung his flaming sword.

"Forehead--"

Imu's eyes widened suddenly, and without a sound, the trident in his hand was severed.

No, it wasn't severed!

Instead, they were melted and evaporated!

The broken surface was covered with burn marks left by the high temperature.

It wasn't just the trident that was severed; Imu's body was also cut in half at the waist in that instant.

"Hold head high!!"

The black dragon beneath Roa's feet roared, its right claw suddenly rising high and slamming down heavily.

The enormous claw slammed into a crimson wave of sword energy.

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, red flames suddenly began to spread.

The terrifyingly high temperature instantly caused the entire Logue Town to begin melting.

The sudden rise in temperature unleashed a powerful heatwave that blew everyone around away. Even Robin and Hancock, who were being deliberately protected by Roa, were not spared and were thrown out in a similar sorry state.

"Wow!!"

Imu's body, broken in two, was blown apart, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"How could such a thing happen?!"

It's just the Awakening of Devil Fruit ability!

How could mere Awakening possibly achieve this?

Even if he has lent out a lot of his power and is not at his full strength now, it shouldn't be like this!

Davy Jones, who originally ate this fruit, didn't possess this level of power at all!

Even more terrifying is -

Wow! This, this is!!

Imu let out another terrified scream.

His immortality, far surpassing that of the Divine Knight, did not allow his injuries to begin to heal. In fact, deep red flames were rapidly spreading across his severed body, threatening to burn him completely to nothingness!

"Help! Boss! Help me!!"

After Roa, Imu once again felt a strong threat to his life.

That brat's flames are his nemesis!

"Oh?"

Roa's lips curled into a smile.

A flame that burns everything?

Amaterasu.

It does bear some resemblance to Teach's Hellfire.

Well, now he finally has some of the aura of Surtur, the mythical destroyer of everything.

With a slight thought, Roa sent endless streams of black energy surging into Imu's body.

The unparalleled, terrifying regenerative power began to manifest in that instant. Even the flames of destruction could not suppress the raging crimson flames that burned everything. After a brief rampage, the flames finally lost their effect and could only dissipate helplessly in the face of Imu's constantly regenerating body.

"Call"

Imu, panting heavily from the ordeal, sprang backward like a rabbit, instinctively putting distance between himself and Luffy.

This kid's acting strange!!

What exactly happened?

He couldn't understand why his strength would change so drastically just from Awakening.

"Roar!!"

The black dragon's pupils had shrunk to two vertical lines, and it let out a low, extremely wary growl.

At this moment Luffy also made him feel immense pressure.

"Alright, Níðhöggr, Imu, step back a bit."

Roa chuckled and stepped forward, his foot firmly planted on the air, seemingly floating in mid-air. "This kid is no longer someone you can handle."

"If I grew up feeding on the suffering of the entire world, then this kid now carries the hopes of the whole world on his shoulders!"

Devil Fruit are the power of wish fulfillment.

The original Nika was a product of the prayers of slaves yearning for freedom.

At this moment, people all over the world who were suffering from ravages shared the same wish.

The wishes of billions of people came together, giving birth to an unprecedented and great miracle!

This is not a simple Awakening, but a true blessing from heaven.

"Hold head high!!"

After letting out a worried cry, the black dragon obeyed Roa's command and flew away.

Needless to say, Imu had already teleported away to create more distance.

Those people who had been blown away by the heatwave also quickly moved away from the island.

So, only Roa and Luffy remained.

"Bring it on."

"I'm laughing, "Roa said.

"Roa!!"

With a roar, the next instant, scorching flames rushed towards him, completely filling Roa's vision with fire.

He swung his beloved Tiger Soul down with a heavy slash.

The deep red, world-destroying flames were instantly split apart.

The two fiery streaks that separated instantly pierced the sky and slammed into the Reverse Mountain in the distance.

On the Reverse Mountain, which had already been severely damaged by the black dragon's breath, two enormous fireballs erupted.

Amidst a deafening roar, the already crumbling Reverse Mountain began to collapse completely, shattering the sea route connecting the Four Seas and the Grand Line.

Amidst the exploding flames, the fiery figure flashed before Roa, slashing down heavily with his flaming sword.

This kid isn't very skilled with a sword, but just by relying on his strength and speed, this attack was something no swordsman other than Roa could handle.

But thankfully, there's still Roa!

Roa chuckled and swung his sword to meet the attack.

As the sword and blade clashed, the powerful energy was sent flying the instant Roa deflected Luffy's Luffy sword with his own.

The ruins of Logue Town beneath their feet shattered completely at that moment.

The ocean was blasted open, creating a bottomless chasm that stretched all the way to the Red Line at the edge of sight.

Boom!

The Red Line, which had originally been like a wall of sighs dividing the world, was now as fragile as a bubble. It was blasted into a chasm by this incomparably powerful force, stretching for countless kilometers.

Before the Red Line could even adjust to its new form, Luffy had already delivered another horizontal slash.

This time, Roa countered with a vertical slash.

The ocean was cleaved open, creating a deep trench that reached the seabed, and even the seabed below was torn open with a bottomless crack.

"Wow!!"

On the high sea, the ghosts that had just been blown away were screaming in agony.

Even powerful figures like them were as weak as infants when faced with the aftershocks of Roa and Luffy's battle.

Thankfully, someone came to rescue them!

The black dragon swept across the sea like a black Inazuma, completely ignoring the terrifying aftershocks of Roa's fight with Luffy.

He easily scooped everyone up.

Now that they're on the same side again, their friendship can be rekindled.

On the back of the black dragon, Robin and Hancock were already standing there.

The two looked at the distant sky, where each collision shattered the heavens and caused the sea to boil. Even the aftershocks caused the distant Red Line to continuously collapse. Their faces showed undisguised anxiety.

Robin had unconsciously clenched his fists.

If this fighting continues, the entire world will likely suffer irreparable and massive destruction!

On the battlefield, Luffy was also somewhat unwilling to accept this entangled situation.

In the next instant, just as Roa was about to continue his attack, he was cleaved away by the suddenly enormous flaming sword.

Luffy's size swelled thousands of times, transforming him into a super fire giant tens of thousands of meters tall!

But he was still as fast as Inazuma, closely following Roa as he flew away.

Roa crashed directly into the Reverse Mountain in the distance.

No, the Reverse Mountain is gone now; all that remains is ruins.

But even then, the ruins were still smashed and shattered.

The black line pierced right through the base of Reverse Mountain, sending it flying almost from one side of the Red Line the other.

This terrifying bombardment pierced through the Red Line, sending shattered rocks of all sizes flying everywhere, soon unleashing a dense rain of rocks over the surrounding seas for thousands of kilometers.

"Roa!!"

Luffy leaped into the air above the Red Line and slashed down heavily with his flaming sword.

But at that very moment, from within the ruins, a pitch-black figure, growing larger with the wind, rose up, its size no less than that of the fire giant, and with a backhand slash, sent the fire giant flying.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Roa's laughter echoed like thunder across the surrounding seas for thousands of kilometers. "Now this is more like the final battle!"

Hmm, it has that feel of the Dark Myth: The Battle of Heaven and Earth!
