Rules of the Underworld! Zephyr's Fury

"Wow, that's quite a large scale."

Roa stood atop a fortress at the flank of the snail fleet, peering through binoculars at the large fleet rapidly approaching on the distant sea.

Eleven enormous warships lined up in a row on the sea, rapidly encircling the snail-like fleet.

This is going to be the ultimate climactic battle!

"Boss, what do we do?"

Dylan stood beside him, his expression remaining calm even when facing the massive fleet led by a former Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.

Because if Lord Roa says they will win, then they will win.

"Yes, how should we play?"

Roa tilted his head, "It feels like I can win no matter how I fight, so is there any reason to lose?"

Of course not!

Bullet stood behind Roa, the thirteen-year-old boy's face filled with fervor.

As the bullet that pierces through all obstacles for the Boss, he only needs to do one thing: obey the Boss's orders and then achieve victory!

"Even I got excited."

Abel's hand instinctively gripped the hilt of the Ame no Habakiri at his waist, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes. "Let's get started!"

Only Doflamingo, standing at the very back, curled his lip in disapproval.

These guys are getting way too cocky!

Especially that bastard Roa, his opponent was a former Admiral from the Marine Headquarters!

Even he knew what the title of Admiral meant.

But.

Nine-year-old Doflamingo suddenly sighed inexplicably; it was indeed hard to imagine Roa's defeat.

Since that's the case.

"I want to join the war too!"

Doflamingo wore a strange, wicked smile on his small face.

With the Poneglyph as the material for his fusion, he was no longer afraid of anything!

"Then, child, be careful not to fall into the sea."

Abel said with a smile.

Roa almost burst out laughing.

Come to think of it, Doflamingo seems to be the only one here who can't fly.

Dylan ate the Ancient Zoan Pteranodon Fruit, and Bullet can now transform into mercury vapor and fly.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Doflamingo, with a smug expression, said, "I'm not going to be an idiot and charge into their ranks!"

All he needs to do is have Judge bring out a bunch of heavy weapons, and then turn himself into an indestructible and invincible turret!

"So!"

Roa took a deep breath; the fragrance of the black mist and the excitement before battle heightened his spirits.

"Move the boat closer!"

After saying that, he realized something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words.

"Move the snail closer!"

The snail suddenly turned and headed towards the navy's encirclement.

On the approaching warship.

"Oh! Not only are they not running away, but it looks like they're going to fight back, Professor Zephyr!"

Borsalino stood on the lookout tower of the mast, lowered his binoculars, and said in a seemingly panicked tone, "Honestly, even if we didn't know you were the fleet commander, seeing a fleet of this size should tell us we're not to be trifled with."

"Garp said that brat is Rocks' successor!"

Zephyr moved his body slightly.

Having not fought for more than half a year, my body is starting to feel rusty.

"His madness is in the same vein as Rocks '!"

"The successor to Rocks?"

Borsalino gasped in disbelief, "That's terrifying!"

Even these new recruits knew just how terrifying the Rocks Pirates had been back then.

"We absolutely cannot let that brat continue to grow up!"

Sakazuki lowered the brim of his hat; the man with the most fiery abilities spoke with a tone as cold as ice.

As Zephyr said, the thing the headquarters fears most right now is that the successor of Rocks will actually rebuild the Rocks Pirates.

This concern is very likely to become a reality.

Because Roa has truly formed an alliance with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, and even the Germa Kingdom, Affiliated Nation of the World Government, has submitted to him!

We must take him down, right here and today!

"Prepare for battle!"

Zephyr roared, "Spread out as planned! That guy's ability can summon all sorts of natural disasters at will! Keep a safe distance from them! Don't fire yet, to avoid drawing his attention!"

The massive warships then spread out even further, gradually turning their hulls sideways and aiming their broadside cannons at the swarm of snails.

There was only one ship, the one Zephyr was on, rapidly approaching.

The chief instructor of the Marine Headquarters stood at the bow of the ship, his Justice Coat draped over his shoulders fluttering in the sea breeze.

Soon, the two were close enough to see each other's faces clearly.

"The Calamity Roa!"

According to common practice in the martial arts world, courtesy should be given before resorting to force.

Before the battle officially began, Zephyr's voice boomed through the loudspeaker, "Your end is nigh! Surrender now!"

"Oh! It's Black Arm Zephyr?"

Roa asked knowingly, "He doesn't need a megaphone anymore, he just needs to make the sound waves stronger. Honestly, Aunt Linlin's secrecy isn't very good."

"Pretend you didn't see what happened to me. I've already stepped down from the front lines, so there's no need for me to risk my life anymore, right?"

"Justice will always be on the front lines!"

With a passionate roar, the former Admiral suddenly launched himself out, shooting across more than two kilometers of sea like a cannonball, heading directly towards the snail swarm.

"Do you want to make this the battlefield?"

Roa's expression was somewhat strange.

There's always a lot of black mist floating above the Germa Kingdom.

Oh well, at least this country is my home. I don't care about the people, but I don't want them to destroy the country.

Instantly, Roa entered orc form, his black wings flapping, and he moved towards Zephyr like a shadow.

"Then let's start the war!"

Deep within the castle of the Germa Kingdom, Judge laughed wildly, "Yes, Boss!"

The structures on the backs of the snails on the periphery instantly began to deform.

Heavy cannons emerged from the fortresses.

The next instant, boom boom boom boom!

Heavy artillery roared, and shells suddenly soared into the air amidst flames, heading towards the surrounding warships.

Almost simultaneously, the warships also opened fire. The capabilities of the naval vessels deployed in the New World are beyond question, and their heavy naval guns are capable of launching attacks from distances of more than ten kilometers.

At that very moment, two figures collided in mid-air.

Roa gripped the two swords at his waist, and crimson Inazuma leaped from the scabbards, so dense that it almost completely enveloped both swords.

Are they actually choosing to confront us head-on?

A cold glint flashed in Zephyr's eyes.

They really were underestimated.

Kid, then I'll blast you down!

A jet-black, Haki Inazuma leaped up from his right fist.

"Drink!"

Amidst the roar, a jet-black iron fist pierced through the sky.

Roa's lips curled into a smile; next up was his original move!

"Calamity Two-Sword Style ·Iai·Thunder!"

Crimson Inazuma suddenly exploded from the scabbard, and in the next instant, the twin swords were drawn, tearing through the sky, seemingly severing and dislocating even space itself.

Boom!!

Iron fists clashed with twin swords, unleashing Inazuma of black and red Haki that instantly pierced the sky.

The Air Shock, and shockwaves visible to the naked eye spread outwards, forcing the sea below to ripple with one huge wave after another.

What?

Zephyr's pupils constricted.

It's blocked!

"Hahaha! That's awesome! Black Arm Zephyr!"

Roa Ya laughed loudly, his body being thrown backward by the powerful force.

Although it's a lower-class horse without Conqueror's Haki, its Armament Haki is really impressive!

Only.

Is that all there is to it?

Roa's laughter grew even louder, "Compared to the Garp the Hero, he's nowhere near as good!"

Zephyr clenched his teeth.

Was the enemy stronger than he imagined?

No, the fact that Roa was able to fight Charlotte Linlin to a standstill meant that his strength was expected.

Is it because they didn't expect themselves to become weaker?

"Let's go!"

Behind Roa, Bullet's lower body transformed into elemental form, spewing out scorching mercury vapor as he hurtled towards the warship carrying Zephyr in the distance like a rocket.

Following closely behind was Abel, who took flight with flapping wings, and Dylan, who had transformed into a pterosaur.

"Prepare for battle!"

On the warship, a Marine Vice Admiral had temporarily taken command raised his knife and roared.

"Oh?"

Roa glanced at the warships over there and remarked, "The numbers seem to be quite different."

The young Akainu and Kizaru, along with Bullet and Abel, might have a tough time.

There were also four Vice Admiral and a whole host of other officers; it wasn't realistic to rely on Dylan alone.

According to the rules of the martial world, kings fight kings and generals fight generals; how can we allow our subordinates to be ganged up on?

So.

Roa suddenly plummeted into freefall.

Zephyr was stunned. What was going on? Was this guy going to jump into the sea and commit suicide?

But the instant Roa's feet touched the sea surface, he cried out, "Let's go back to the Ice Age!"

The sea beneath their feet froze instantly, and the ice was expanding rapidly and visibly, connecting the snail swarm and the warship in the blink of an eye.

Zephyr's pupils trembled.

Is this also one of the natural disasters that Roa can control?

"Is he really not Logia?"

Borsalino was speechless.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Sakazuki looked up, and three dark figures rapidly approached. "They're here!"

Roa raised his head. "Alright, I'm launching a full-scale attack now!"

Behind them, dark shadows suddenly shot out from the structure on the snail's back.

These ghouls, whose forms were indistinguishable from aliens, landed one after another on the frozen sea surface, and then headed towards the warship without stopping.

As always, some Hokage ran, some ran upside down, and some were on all fours; none of them looked human.

"What?"

Zephyr paused for a moment.

It was foreseen that Roa had other combat forces under his command.

But these guys don't look like normal people at all.

Zephyr suddenly noticed a figure rushing at the very front.

He looked at him closely in disbelief, then exclaimed in shock, "Senior Jensen?"

That's Headquarters Vice Admiral Jensen, who went missing six years ago after being attacked by the Rocks Pirates! Someone even he had to call senior!

How could this senior be under Roa's command!

"Oh! Is this someone you know, Mr. Zephyr?"

Roa flapped his wings and slowly took flight. He chuckled and said, "I don't know his name, but as expected of Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters, he's quite useful among all my treasured ghouls."

"Hmm, maybe we'll be able to pick up a few more naval traitors today, Mr. Zephyr. I should thank you for that."

"..."

Zephyr's forehead veins throbbed instantly. "You bastard! How dare you insult justice like this!"

The Admiral who had not been killed was now filled with rage.

Without hesitation, he headed towards Roa once more.

Meanwhile, Bullet and his two companions had already fallen toward the warship.

The battle officially begins now!
