"Heat Breath!"

After being sent flying with a single punch, Kaido, who had rushed back to the battlefield, exhaled with all his might.

A majestic pillar of fire instantly pierced the sky, blasting a huge hole through the magma fountain.

"Anger, I see it!"

Roa locked onto the pillar of furious fire in the sky and activated his ability once more.

Above the clear blue sky, dark clouds instantly gathered. "Myriad Lightning!"

Lightning then poured down like a torrential rain, but it strangely struck the same target.

"This!"

Abel's dark brown skin turned pale under the illumination of the sky-filling lightning. He saw the lightning converging into a sea.

A Calamity!

Is this the Boss's ability? It's a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?

"Hoo—"

Roa let out a long sigh.

Whether it was turning the ground into a volcanic cluster or creating a sea of lightning, the stamina consumption was enormous.

His body kept oscillating between extreme exhaustion and full energy, which was incredibly uncomfortable.

But fortunately, the effects were quite significant.

In the sky, a figure emitting black smoke plummeted.

"Ughahahaha!"

Kaido laughed uncontrollably. "Not bad, Roa! Keep up the momentum and finish off that old mad dog!"

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Roa twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Wahaha! It hurts like hell! You two brats are really something!"

The falling black figure's descent suddenly halted. He stomped on the air and shot forward. "Now, it's my turn!"

Garp was in a sorry state.

His clothes were completely burnt off, his head was bald, and his body was covered in black marks from severe burns, making him almost entirely black.

However, he was still full of vigor.

"You're not dead yet? Do you have an Undead Body too?"

Roa clicked his tongue. "This is unreasonable, Haki!"

Big Brother Kaido saying Haki is the power that trumps all else isn't entirely nonsense; there's some truth to it.

The defensive nature of Haki is essentially an invisible armor, not a true absolute defense. It cannot completely block elemental attacks, otherwise, Logia users would have no way to fight.

But looking at it now, when Haki is strong enough, its resistance is also quite exaggerated.

Normally, a mortal body falling into magma would have been melted long ago.

"Continue, just like before, Roa!"

Big Brother Kaido had already charged forward at the first opportunity.

"Understood. Then, wind rise!"

Roa activated his ability again.

Around Garp, who was shooting forward, a Tornado engulfed him once more.

But.

"The same move won't work on me!"

Garp threw a punch directly behind him.

The air roared like thunder as it was struck. Using the recoil, Garp bolted out of the Tornado like lightning and then, with a backhand, punched Kaido, who was caught off guard.

"Thunderclap Eight Trigrams!"

Kaido met the attack hastily, but naturally couldn't match it. He was instead smashed into the magma pool below by the punch, enjoying a magma bath 32 years ahead of schedule.

"Big Brother Kaido, you're too unreliable!"

As Roa retreated, lightning struck again.

However.

"I said, it's useless!"

Red light flashed in Garp's eyes.

Just like how Kaido weaved through Luffy's rain-like punches 32 years later, Garp also moved like a sea swallow, calmly dodging amidst the rain of lightning.

Damn it! Future sight Observation Haki!

Your setup is maxed out too, right!

To break through this Observation Haki, you need a wider, more comprehensive attack!

"Thunder Welcome!"

Dark clouds suddenly gathered, and dense black clouds instantly covered this sky, engulfing both Roa and Garp within them.

Then, lightning crazily leaped within the clouds, indiscriminately bombarding everything inside.

"Wha-ha-ha-ha! Fist Bone - Galaxy!"

The pitch-black storm clouds exploded in the next instant. White lightning ultimately couldn't defeat the pitch-black Haki lightning.

"This is a bit too exaggeratedly strong!"

Are you One-Punch Man?

Roa had to admit, Haki masters just play with numbers.

Body tough enough, speed fast enough, fists strong enough.

That's enough for them to run rampant without fear.

Can't win.

Gotta retreat.

"Fire Dragon Great Torch!"

A flame dragon hundreds of meters long shot up from the magma, and a large amount of magma fell from the dragon's body, making it look like it was condensed from molten rock.

"Oh?"

Garp looked down, his gaze passing through the fire dragon's shell and seeing the Azure Dragon inside, whose scales were also blackened by the magma.

"Rising Dragon - Flame Eight Trigrams!!"

The fire dragon's head turned pitch-black, wrapped in Armament and Conqueror's Haki, and it charged directly at Garp.

"Fist Bone - Comet!!"

His iron fist was like a falling comet.

BOOM!!

Pitch-black Haki shot into the sky.

The pitch-black flame dragon struggled for two seconds before being smashed to pieces, and the entire flame dragon exploded along with it.

The black and green dragon was once again knocked down into the sea of magma.

"Brother Kaido!"

Roa shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let's stop here for now. We'll let him go this time!"

The magma exploded, and the black dragon Kaido shot up into the sky. "Roa, are you telling me to run?"

Roa rolled his eyes. Enough of the act.

"How can you call it running? This is a strategic retreat!"

Roa said with a serious expression, "Being able to rescue you guys is already our victory this time. Now, we're just turning to head towards another victory!"

"Wha-ha-ha-ha! You think you still have a chance to escape?"

Garp twisted his neck. "There's only one place you can go, and that's Impel Down!"

"Is that so?"

Roa took a deep breath.

The black energy permeating the air immediately gathered towards him like a vortex.

"Then I'll show you a very interesting move."

The horns on Roa's forehead almost glowed.

RUMBLE!

The island below began to shake violently.

The ground undulated continuously, and huge cracks appeared.

"An earthquake again?"

Garp frowned. "But what good is an earthquake now?"

All the survivors had already come out of the buildings!

"No, it's not an earthquake."

Roa smiled innocently. "The island's bedrock is collapsing. Soon the entire island will sink into the sea."

"What?"

Garp's face changed drastically.

There were tens of thousands of residents on this island!

"So, hurry up and go deal with the disaster, Marine Hero," Roa said with a grin. "We won't see you off."

Garp instinctively clenched his fists.

However, amidst the continuous booming roars, the island, already in pieces, was slowly sinking just as Roa had said.

Screams erupted one after another.

"You bastard!!"

Garp's teeth were almost ground to dust. "What exactly is your ability?"

You can even do something like this?

"I already told you,"

Roa's smile didn't fade. "Call me Calamity."

Calamity?

Garp stared intently at Roa, then turned and sprang away.

It would take time to capture these flying guys.

But he couldn't just watch everyone drown!

He'd save as many as he could!

"Oh, good thing he's really a hero."

Roa patted his chest, looking as if he had narrowly escaped danger.

No matter how much he scorned the Marines, Roa had to admit that a considerable portion of them would risk their lives for civilians.

Respect.

"Damn it!"

Kaido, still dripping lava, glared at Garp's retreating figure.

"Alright, Brother Kaido, it's time to go,"

Roa said. "Are you going to stay and save people? If so, I'd be impressed."

"Hmph!"

Kaido snorted coldly again and turned to fly away directly, ignoring Roa.

"Brother Kaido, you're going the wrong way, it's this way,"

Roa called out to him, pointing behind him.

Kaido paused, then silently turned around.

Thus, the plan to save the brilliant strategist Kaido was successfully completed.

It really is a Tier 0 version!

I can use this move for the rest of my life!

A little later, Roa sat on the head of the dragon Kaido, stretching his long legs, and said without looking back, "How about it, Abel? The air of freedom?"

Abel, standing behind Roa, gazed at the clouds at the distant horizon, a faint smile appearing on his indifferent face. "Very pleasant."

Why wouldn't it be pleasant?

You had a great time mixing in just now.

You'll have to work hard to make it up to me later.

"You two brats, get the hell off me!"

Kaido's displeased voice rang out.

"Don't be so stingy, Brother Kaido,"

Roa said lazily. "I specifically rushed back from the North Blue to save you."

"Hmph, what did my subordinates trade for?"

"Hahahaha, they insisted on giving it, it would be rude of me not to accept."

Roa said with a grin, then decisively changed the subject.

"By the way, Brother Kaido, do you want some territory?"
