The Final Chapter: The Six Seas Become One! Setting Out for the Sea of Stars!

"Roa!!!"

In that instant, almost half the world heard this roar.

Has the final battle already begun?

People couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The flaming sword, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, slashed directly down at Roa.

Roa laughed loudly; although his body had grown to an unbelievable size, his agility remained astonishing.

Just a casual sidestep, and the unlucky one became the Red Line.

The Red Line, thousands of kilometers wide, was no different from a wooden plank in front of Luffy's sword Luffy, as it was cleaved into a huge canyon. The ever-spreading crimson flames continued to widen the canyon.

Not only that, the spreading sword waves continued forward, diagonally passing through the New World behind and reaching the West Blue.

At that moment, the whole world trembled.

Try this!

Roa laughed loudly and flicked his left hand.

Thunder appeared out of nowhere.

This was no ordinary lightning; it was a world-destroying divine lightning bolt, several kilometers wide!

Luffy forward with his left hand, and the flames transformed into a shield, obliquely changing the direction of the lightning so that it passed him by perfectly.

The lightning bolt shot forward relentlessly, obliterating the seawater and vanishing the islands in its wake. It barely made a sound as it quietly pierced through a small section of the world, eventually disappearing into the Milky Way due to the planet's curvature.

The Calamity City and the Uranus, both floating in the sky, were fleeing rapidly into the distance.

At the edge of the giant airship, the monsters of the pirate alliance gathered, all looking down with awe.

"Are these two even human?!"

Katakuri had already come out of the control room, since they no longer needed to operate the Ancient Weapon.

He considered himself quite knowledgeable, but even he was still genuinely parched by the sight below.

Two giants, tens of thousands of meters tall, are fighting on the sea below.

The ocean looked like a small puddle to them, barely reaching their calves.

Just by standing there, their heads were almost touching the height at which the Calamity City was floating, which was the key reason why everyone was desperately trying to speed away.

A single sword strike could cleave the Red Line in two, and a single bolt of lightning seemed poised to shatter the world.

This level of power is probably unmatched even by Ancient Weapon.

"If they continue fighting, the destruction of the entire world is probably only a matter of time!"

The Golden Lion said with a solemn expression.

These two are too outrageous. If their attacks were directed downwards, the Earth's crust would probably be pierced through, and the Earth's core might even be detonated.

"Roa is one thing, but how did this kid become so strong?!"

Charlotte Linlin screamed.

How could the Awakening of just one Devil Fruit ability cause such a huge change?

Even Roa's evolution wasn't that exaggerated!

"Hahaha!"

Teach laughed and said, "That's why the Boss values that kid so much! He's the savior of the whole world now!"

Savior?

The expressions on everyone's faces became somewhat subtle.

Is it really true?

At this moment, in every corner of the world.

People who had been ravaged by the natural Calamity Company and were in despair suddenly looked up for no apparent reason.

Even in areas of darkness, people who are asleep are jolted awake and instinctively look in a certain direction.

The constant tremors in the world instilled fear in people, especially in areas near the battlefield.

But amidst this fear, a strange feeling also lingered in people's hearts.

"What's this?"

"Who's fighting? Who's fighting?"

"I felt it too! Someone is fighting Roa for this world!!"

Heroes are not nameless.

Then.

Whoever it is, keep going!

"You must win, unknown hero, please save the world!"

"Go for it! Go and defeat Roa!"

Then.

This side of Reverse Mountain.

No, there is no Reverse Mountain anymore. In fact, the Red Line, which is thousands of kilometers away, has completely collapsed. Even the rocks that should have been piled up here after the collapse have been pulverized.

The first and second halves of the Grand Line are now truly connected. In fact, the broken sections extend all the way beyond the Calm Belt, meaning that the East Blue, North Blue, West Blue, and South Blue Sea are also completely connected to the Grand Line.

Since the ancient times, when the Ancient Weapon completely changed the structure of this world, the six seas were united once again because of the final battle between Roa and Luffy!

But the first consequence of such a change is, of course, destruction.

Countless islands were destroyed directly by the aftershocks of their battle, and no one could predict how many lives the spreading shockwaves and giant waves would swallow.

"Oh!"

Amidst her busy schedule, Roia glanced down at the scene before her, and said with a smile, "This can be considered fulfilling Joy Boy's unfinished dream, right?"

Joy Boy Boyke also dreamed of unifying the six seas.

"Roa!!"

This destruction Luffy's rage even more.

We can't let this drag on any longer, or the whole world will be doomed!

Luffy suddenly paused, realizing he had to take down Roa as soon as possible.

He felt a constant influx of power into his body!

The people's final prayers have been answered!

"Everyone! I have received your support!!!"

The flames on Luffy's body surged even more fiercely, and at this moment his power was increasing dramatically!

However, his size shrank rapidly to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the size of a normal person!

"Oh? You're tired of giant battles? Then I'll definitely play along to the end!"

Roa smiled, his body contracting in response.

Luffy looked up at Roa, who still wore a gentle smile, in the distant sky.

We can win!

I now absolutely possess the power to defeat this man!

Everyone in the world has lent their power to themselves; there is no reason to lose!

At that moment, Luffy felt connected to everyone in the world!

Everyone seemed to see the Demon King floating in the sky through Luffy's eyes.

"Go! Defeat him! Go save the world!!"

Countless voices rang out in unison.

They were chanting, "Luffy and save the world!"

Never before has Luffy's flaming sword shone so brightly!

The originally deep red sword of destruction suddenly burst forth with golden light!

The distance of hundreds of kilometers seemed to be just a stone's throw away at this moment, as a golden meteor streaked across the sky.

The very space around the sword distorted as it passed!

All the light was drawn to it, forcibly concentrated upon it!

Ultimately, it formed a meteor that shone even higher than the sun!

It's so heavy!

The hopes of the entire world rest on this one sword!

This sword strike truly pierced through the stars!

It's getting closer, it's almost there.

Luffy gritted his teeth and desperately thrust his sword forward.

"Roa, don't underestimate this world!"

At that moment, everyone in the world stood up without even realizing it.

They can neither see nor hear, yet they inexplicably know that what happens next will determine the future of the world!

Die, Roa!

At this moment, billions of people are united in thought!

Die, Roa!!

Those watching the battle from the Calamity City were even blown away by the aftershocks of the attack, and even Ancient Weapon struggled to maintain their balance amidst the raging storm.

Everyone fell silent, simply staring blankly down as they flew about in disarray.

At the same time, Robin and Hancock, desperately trying to maintain their balance atop the Dragon of the End, also held their breath.

Everyone realized how terrifying this attack was!

That was an attack that no human could possibly use; the entire world seemed to be contained within it!

How heavy this burden is!

"Die, Roa!!"

With Luffy's final roar, the sword finally pierced Roa's chest.

That's how it should have been.

One hand.

Just before the blade was about to pierce Roa's chest, a jet-black left hand grasped the blazing sword, which seemed to be formed from a star and embodied the prayers of everyone in the world.

Luffy stared blankly at Roa.

"Don't be discouraged, Luffy!"

Roa said earnestly, "You've done your best. It took me absorbing almost half the world's worth of dark energy to withstand that attack. It was stronger than I could have imagined."

"How... is that possible?!"

Luffy didn't understand what Roa meant by the black aura. He only knew that the strongest being could never unleash this attack a second time, and it was useless against Roa.

In other words, it's all over.

It's not over yet.

Rather, it's over forever.

This world will never produce someone who can defeat Roa.

At that moment, everyone in the world lost their voice.

Some were in pain, some wailed, some numbly clutched their heads, and some committed suicide in despair.

They can neither see nor hear, but they can feel that so-called true despair.

"Ugh!"

Roa took a deep breath, and an unusual look of rapture immediately appeared on his face.

"Yes, yes! That's it! Hopefully, the despair that follows will make it even more delicious! Honestly, everyone still has energy to spare, but I still have to squeeze it myself. Wouldn't it be better to be more self-disciplined?"

"Roa!!!"

With a roar, the deep red flames on Luffy's sword surged, and he slashed down with all his might.

"It's really ugly."

Roa shook his head helplessly. "Luffy, can a man like you ever feel despair?"

He saw it very clearly.

"That's right, it's only natural for them to despair in front of me."

Roa nodded to himself.

He looked at Luffy, who was acting like a madman, and shook his head regretfully. "Sure enough, youth is just something to reminisce about."

With a casual wave of his hand, the oncoming flaming sword was crushed instantly, without even causing Roa's hand to tremble in the slightest.

The hand gripped the fire-man's neck.

Luffy,

Roa smiled and said, "Let's leave this story at that."

He brandished his knife.

On the Calamity City, the people who had struggled back to the floating Sky Island were slightly stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but cheer.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hehehehe!"

"Mother, Mother, Mommy!"

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

Above the head of a pitch-black dragon floating in the distant sky.

Robin and Hancock sighed first, then a smile appeared on their lips.

And so it all came to an end.

Time flies, and years pass like an arrow.

Ten years have passed since the First World War, which plunged the entire world into utter despair.

The world has been very busy over the past decade.

The Calamity Company is busy mining and smelting metals.

People in this world can only be driven by them, working for them like diligent ants.

Although the Revolutionary Army continues to cause trouble all over the world, leading people to rise up in resistance.

However, after that battle, there were very few people left who dared to stand up and resist.

The hope that Roa had been so eagerly anticipating was finally drifting away from this vast sea.

Roa was deeply moved by this; if even hope is lost, what is left of this world?

Sigh, none of them are doing very well.

Then, ten years later...

Roa floated in the sky, looking down at the boundless blue sea below.

"Phew—I always thought it was cramped, but now I'm actually a little reluctant to leave."

"Now that things have come to this, you're not going to say you don't want to leave, are you?"

Kaido's somewhat impatient voice came from behind.

Roa turned around, and the Calamity City floated there silently.

On the clouds at the edge of this floating Sky Island, the executives of the pirate alliance gathered, all looking at Roa.

"Big Brother Kaido, you really have no sense of romance."

Roa sighed, "Don't you know the saying, 'It's hard to leave one's homeland'?"

"All I know is that I've been going crazy for the past ten years!"

Kaido scoffed irritably, "This sea is now nothing but boring!"

"That's true."

Roa smiled and said, "Life really does need to be exciting!"

Staying on this planet will make it impossible to complete the next evolution.

"However, Boss!"

Teach chuckled, "Is it really okay to just leave this planet like this?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Except for Imu, all the ghouls have stayed behind."

Bullet scoffed, "Could this world possibly give birth to a being superior to Níðhöggr?"

"And,"

Abel added, "Even if something goes wrong, everything will be back to normal as long as we come back."

"Hahaha! Yeah, right!"

Teach chuckled softly.

In short,

Roa stretched and said casually, "Our story on this planet ends here."

"The journey ahead is to the stars and the sea."

"I can't wait!"

The Golden Lion laughed heartily.

"Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!!"

Kaido didn't even say a word, he just smiled.

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Charlotte Linlin was equally excited.

"Let's set sail!"

Katakuri excitedly raised his arms and shouted.

Roa rolled his eyes. "Katakuri, you want to usurp power, don't you! That's my line!"

He paused, then coughed twice in a mock manner, and finally said, "Let's set sail."

"Oh!!!"

Cheers resounded through the sky.

The Calamity City slowly rose, flying towards the outside world.

Below this floating city, a series of equally large airships followed closely behind.

Over the past decade, by pushing the limits of this world, Roa has successfully assembled a large fleet composed of Ancient Weapon.

The vast universe, what a sight to behold!

My own evolutionary journey will continue indefinitely, until the end of the galaxy!

Roa floated above the Calamity City, taking one last look down at the azure sea below.

I'm leaving this world. What will happen next?

Good luck everyone!
