Coming to Nothing

Roa watched the arm that was flying through the air, spinning and falling downwards, and tilted his head helplessly. "Hey, damn fate, are you really that obsessed with Mr. Zephyr's arm?"

In the original work, Zephyr only suffered severe injuries to his right arm; it was not severed.

Fate, you are too cruel to Mr. Zephyr!

The warship was in complete chaos.

In the sky, Borsalino shouted and flashed as he transformed into light, yelling, "This is so unfair! Two against one!"

"That guy!"

Dylan, relentlessly pursuing Borsalino, was growing increasingly annoyed. "He's so persistent!"

"He's too fast!"

Abel unleashed a massive ball of fire, barely touching Borsalino's clothes, and the Flash was already high in the sky, showering down beams of laser light.

Dylan flapped his wings, unleashing powerful Flying Slash infused with external Armament Haki, shattering all the Laser Beam in mid-air.

"It doesn't matter, he can't change anything, the outcome is already decided."

He said.

At that moment, a dark shadow pierced through the air, creating rings of air waves, and flew over with a roar.

Abel's lips curled into a smile, "Of course, it will only be the Boss's victory!"

"..."

Borsalino's expression changed drastically, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "No way, Professor Zephyr?"

He suddenly transformed into a ray of light and vanished, only to be instantly positioned in front of the incoming figure, getting rammed into its arms.

The immense force even sent Borsalino flying backward.

"Professor Zephyr! You can't get hurt!!"

The usually cynical man couldn't help but shout loudly at this moment.

If this teacher dies here, then everyone except him will die!

Who can escape Roa's pursuit?

Who can stand against the natural disasters that he can unleash at a mere wave of his hand on this vast ocean?

It was at this moment that Borsalino finally got a clear look at his teacher.

Utterly miserable.

The burns and fine knife wounds all over his body were minor issues; the key problem was that his right arm was severed at the elbow, and there was a deep X-shaped wound on his right abdomen.

It hasn't been that long!

What kind of monster is Calamity Roa, the Calamity? How could he have so severely injured Professor Zephyr in such a short time?

Just then, a scarred hand grabbed Borsalino's arm. "Stop the bleeding! Then, go and signal for a retreat!"

This way.

Roa took a deep breath, and the black mist drifting from the snail swarm nearby quickly restored his strength, allowing him to return to peak condition in just a few seconds.

Well then, it's time to wrap things up.

With a flap of its wings, Roa swept out like a black whirlwind.

He flew over quickly and met up with Abel Dylan.

"A great victory, Boss."

Dylan said with a smile.

"Great?"

Roa smiled and said, "Why talk about something great when it's something that's taken for granted?"

"It's taken for granted by you,"

Dylan's smile remained unchanged. "But for us, to defeat a former Admiral of the Marine Headquarters so easily is already great enough!"

A former Admiral?

She's far behind Garp in skill level; her raw strength might not even be as good as Aunt Linlin's when she's at her full strength, not to mention her worrying mental state.

"That won't do, Dylan,"

"We need to get used to it," Roa said. "After all, we will always be victorious."

"Certainly!"

Dylan lowered his head deeply.

"So, how much inventory can I replenish this time?"

Roa slowly descended.

The battle on the warship below has ended; all the junior officers below the rank of general and ordinary marines have perished.

The surviving officers were all covered in wounds and were unable to move, suppressed by the demons.

"Roa!!!"

From the mouths of these stray dogs came curses filled with anger and resentment.

"Very nice."

Roa was very satisfied.

So.

The black and white colors in his eyes suddenly reversed.

Suddenly, the dark substance in the eyes of the naval admirals increased.

Three of the four near-death Vice Admiral soon went blind, while the other major generals and Rear Admiral Commodore who were just there to make up the numbers were all wiped out instantly.

There was no other way; they were already in a state of emotional collapse.

Only one person managed to stop Roa's power through sheer willpower.

This made Roa look at him with newfound respect. "Then you can send your colleague on his way."

If one cannot become a cougar, then there is no point in living.

And so, in the despairing gaze of the Marine Vice Admiral, his comrades who had just been fighting alongside him suddenly rushed towards him.

"Roa!!"

In the end, all that remained were screams of despair.

"Meigou!!"

A burst of heat came from behind.

Roa glanced back slightly, "Where did this stray dog come from?"

He slightly turned to the side, brushing past Sakazuki who attacked from behind. In that instant, a crimson sword light streaked across the sky.

Um?

Roa raised an eyebrow.

Laugh!

A dazzling beam shot out and collided with his sword light.

In the violent explosion, Sakazuki was blasted away, screaming in agony as a deep, bone-revealing knife wound appeared on his back.

Roa smacked his lips.

It's a real shame; if someone hadn't interfered, that strike could have severed this guy's spine.

Before Sakazuki could even regain his footing, a dark figure shot in, grabbed his shoulder, and violently flung him backward.

"Sakazuki! Retreat!"

Sakazuki was thrown thousands of meters like a hammer, exclaimed, "Zephyr- sensei?"

He instinctively wanted to go back, but then he immediately recalled Zephyr's instructions before the war.

Now, all you need to do is obey orders!

Despite the excruciating physical and mental pain, Sakazuki leaped through the air toward the warships that had already turned around and were preparing to retreat in the distance.

He could certainly use Geppo as well, and every time he stepped on the air, lava spewed out from under his feet, making him much faster than ordinary Geppo users.

"Sorry, Boss."

Bullet transformed into mercury vapor and flew to Roa's side, bowing his head in apology, "I can't keep that guy here."

"That's great, Bullet."

Roa didn't care.

Just kidding. Although he's still a nobody right now, Akainu is a future Fleet Admiral. Even the peak Bullet from the original work wouldn't be a match for him.

Bullet was already quite surprised that he was able to have a good fight with him.

The key now is...

"Mr. Zephyr, you're making me very embarrassed."

Roa looked at the one-armed man lying on the mast of the warship and spoke with a sigh.

I already said it was over, but you still won't give up. It's so embarrassing.

"..."

Zephyr was only breathing heavily.

His condition was quite serious. Roa's two slashes severed his right hand and left a deep wound on his right abdomen. Several of his intestines were cut off, and his bladder was likely also severely affected, possibly leading to urinary incontinence in the future.

Although Borsalino treated his wound with a laser, it didn't mean his condition was stable.

He simply gave Roa a deep look.

In that one glance, Roa saw three parts hatred, three parts pain, three parts confusion, and ninety-one parts anger.

After just one glance, Zephyr didn't hesitate and used Geppo to escape.

"So, you're trying to run away? That's a rather weak sense of justice."

Roa said with a hint of mockery, and without hesitation, he flapped his wings and chased after it.

Not only him, but Bullet, Abel, and Dylan followed suit.

"Don't do anything reckless, Professor Zephyr told me to stop you."

Higher in the sky, dazzling light burst forth, followed by a torrential downpour of light projectiles that rained down on the group.

Roa brandished the Tiger Soul in his hand, shouting, "Get out of my way!"

The surging Blood Qi transformed into a roaring giant wave, sweeping across the entire sky in an instant, clearing away all the light projectiles.

"Professor Zephyr, no! We can't stop this monster!"

Borsalino let out a strange cry.

Zephyr, who was retreating towards the distant warship with all his might, turned around and suddenly swept his right leg horizontally, shouting, "Storm Kick - Destruction Cannon!"

A white beam of light, like a laser cannon, roared in.

Roa didn't hold back either, and immediately countered with a move, "Ikoku Sovereignty!"

The red and white light cannons collided, creating shockwaves that rippled outwards.

This powerful force slightly hindered Roa and his group, but it gave Zephyr an extra speed boost.

By the time Roa burst out of the explosion's flames, Zephyr's figure had already receded further into the distance.

"What a monster."

Roa couldn't help but sigh.

The injuries Zephyr sustained would have killed an ordinary person several times over.

But thinking about it, it's not surprising. Whitebeard was stabbed, punched in the chest by Akainu, and had half his face torn off, yet he still managed to make Blackbeard call him "Dad."

Monsters are always incredibly resilient.

Soon, Zephyr and his two disciples finally landed on a warship.

The sailors on board were utterly terrified. Mr. Zephyr had actually been beaten like this?

Were all the elite troops that ship took with them wiped out?

"Full speed retreat!"

Zephyr remained vigilant; Roa was catching up, but the ship couldn't keep up with his speed.

So.

"Borsalino, Sakazuki, stand with me against his attack!"

Zephyr prayed silently, while Roa focused solely on himself.

Otherwise.

"That's so rude!"

Roa had caught up and said somewhat angrily, "Are you planning to leave without even saying goodbye?"

"Fine, what can I say, I have a good temper. I'll give you a final farewell fireworks display!"

He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Above the warships that were rapidly dispersing and evacuating, meteorites about twenty meters in diameter crashed down.

"Roa!!"

A furious roar came crashing down, and the one-armed man leaped up again, unleashing a ferocious punch at Roa with his remaining left arm.

Boom!

Roa swung his sword to meet the attack.

Amidst the deafening roar, Roa soared into the sky, while Zephyr plummeted onto the ship's deck.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

Sakazuki's eyes widened in fury.

But it was too late. All he could see were warships being smashed to pieces by the meteorites, and then slowly falling silent.

"Call--"

Roa took a breath.

It seems inappropriate to summon meteors for such a grand occasion; they're too far from the snail swarm, and the black energy can't be replenished in time.

The black mist emanating from those warships wasn't much, and it was quite far away; it wasn't enough to sustain them.

Why not just let Bullet and the others go after them?

"Roa! Roa! Roa!!"

A hysterical roar came from below.

Roa lowered his head involuntarily. On the deck below, Zephyr was screaming madly, "I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you! You damned pirates! Why don't you damned pirates just die?!"

His murderous intent and anger towards Roa and the pirates had driven him to madness.

Roa's eyes lit up immediately. Could it be...?

Let's go!

The manipulation of negative emotions has been activated again!

The evil spirit has been made!

"Ughhhhh!"

Visibly, the darkness in Zephyr's eyes was rapidly increasing.

Despite possessing an unbreakable will, Black Arm Zephyr's willpower has been severely shaken after a series of blows!

I'm about to acquire the strongest cougar!

"Wake up, Professor Zephyr!"

Sakazuki, who was originally enraged just like Zephyr, was instantly chilled to the bone.

He witnessed firsthand how Roa turned those officers into monsters!

Is Professor Zephyr going to repeat the same mistake now?

He didn't know how to stop it, so he simply punched Zephyr in the face.

With all his might and without mercy, a punch sent Zephyr, who hadn't made any attempt to defend himself, flying straight into the cabin.

"Ah?"

Roa froze for a moment, then yelled incredulously, "You bastard! How are you going to compensate me?!"

It failed!

It was so close to success!

That despicable Akainu!

That despicable personality-correcting fist!

Boom!

The wreckage of the ship's cabin exploded, Zephyr walked out step by step, still gritting his teeth and looking at Roa with utter hatred.

"There's really no other way, let's just leave it at that."

Roa sighed. There was no point in continuing the pursuit. If all else failed, Zephyr and the other two could escape using Geppo. Without a sufficient supply of dark energy, he couldn't do anything to them.

Just consider it an act of kindness.

I made some minor modifications.
