Throwing the Match! The Hardworking Roya!

Roa Adam was starting to have a headache.

He never intended to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Roger Pirates.

It doesn't do him any good.

If it weren't Roger, but someone else who became the Pirate King, Roa wasn't sure if they would announce the existence of the Great Treasure to the world like Roger did. Whether it was Shiki, Kaido, or Linlin, their first reaction would definitely be to keep it all for themselves.

Whitebeard might, but that guy has absolutely no interest in the Great Treasure.

Therefore, it can only be Roger.

Therefore, Roa came with the intention of fixing the match.

Just do something perfunctory to do justice to Uncle Shiki's Devil Fruit, and that's it.

He also had something to say. Without a sufficient supply of dark energy, his combat power would be compromised, and if he couldn't use his abilities recklessly, his output would be greatly reduced.

But what if Rayleigh just comes right at us?

Big Brother Kaido, come save us!

In short,

Roa turned slightly to the three cadres behind him and said, "Go according to the original plan."

"Yes!"

Dylan nodded slightly.

The next instant, the three of them used their abilities simultaneously. Bullet transformed into mercury vapor, Dylan became a pterosaur, and Abel became a tengu. The three of them took off into the air and headed directly towards the Roger Pirates members who were fighting fiercely with the Flying Pirates' executives.

It's a real shame, if only Doflamingo had grown up by now.

In this way, Dylan could step down and hand over the reins to a more capable leader, whose three executives would consist of Logia, Paramecia, and Mythical Zoan.

Very neat and tidy.

While lost in thought, Roa heard Rayleigh slowly speak, "This is truly remarkable. Logia, Ancient Zoan, and even a Mythical Zoan? Give them some more time, and those guys under Golden Lion's command won't even be worthy of being compared to them." "Not at all, not at all."

As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work," and since Rayleigh had taken the initiative to praise him, Luo Ya naturally couldn't be left out. Roa smiled and said, "I've always encouraged them to strive to be like Rayleigh or Gaban."

Rayleigh smiled.

It must be said that this was not just wishful thinking on Roa's part.

Leaving aside the middle-aged man, those two kids really do have that kind of potential.

"However, it's wishful thinking for them to think they can defeat our comrades, Roa."

Rayleigh continued.

"That's what I mean,"

Roa, however, maintained a "you're right" expression. "So, besides you and Gaban, the Roger Pirates had so many other skilled members."

The Red-Hair Pirates of the future were known as the Iron Wall Pirates, but in Roa's opinion, the Roger Pirates at this time were the true impenetrable fortress.

Below Rayleigh and Gaban, these two exceptionally capable executives, there are actually two more executives at the Disaster level, and several more at the level of the Six Sons. It truly has everything from top to bottom, with no gaps in the hierarchy.

If it weren't for the Flying Pirates' officers holding the line, Roa would have already ordered Bullet and the others to retreat.

Behind Rayleigh, Buggy, emboldened by his master's power, kept making faces at Roa, while Shanks had already sensed something was wrong; Roa's attitude was vastly different from that of Golden Lion and Kaido.

The Shanks boy noticed, and Rayleigh frowned even more. "You don't seem to want to start a war."

"I have high hopes for you guys, more than anyone else, I'm looking forward to Roger finding the Great Treasure and ushering in a new era."

Roa said with a serious expression.

"Great Treasure?"

Shanks was taken aback.

How did he know the captain was looking for the Great Treasure?

Rayleigh adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses but didn't say anything.

"But there's nothing I can do."

Roa shrugged. "Uncle Shiki gave me a price I couldn't refuse. So, Rayleigh, do you have any Mythical Zoan? If you give me Mythical Zoan too, I'll immediately retreat with my men, and I'll also throw in some information that should be very useful to you."

"That's a shame."

The Inazuma on Rayleigh's sword surged, "We're not as wealthy as the Golden Lion."

"Yes, that's such a pity."

Roa sighed.

It seems that simply using words won't get Rayleigh to cooperate in fixing the match.

So.

Black fur instantly grew out, jet-black wings unfurled, and the horn-like patterns on Roa's forehead spread outwards.

In the next instant, Roa had already been launched.

"Triple Annihilation!"

Without any hesitation, they immediately unleashed their most powerful move.

Rayleigh's expression had changed. "You despicable devil!"

So you really can?

Observation Haki Future Sight!

How many tricks did you have up your sleeve when you were teaching Luffy?

But it doesn't matter, the plan has already succeeded.

"Shanks, Buggy! Run!"

Rayleigh hastily swung his sword to meet the attack, and the black Inazuma that surged on the blade unleashed astonishing power, sending Roa flying with a single strike.

Hmm, he's not nearly as good as Uncle Shiki.

It's frighteningly strong, though.

However, it's over now.

Boom!

The ground shook violently the moment the two collided, and the ground beneath Buggy and Shanks' feet suddenly collapsed, causing the two boys, who instinctively turned to run, to fall straight down.

Rayleigh immediately turned around, wanting to rescue the two from the deep pit.

But he immediately stopped.

"That's right, being able to see the future doesn't mean you can change it."

Roa flew back, shaking his aching arms, and said, "Nice to meet you from now on, Pluton Rayleigh!"

Rayleigh's eyes held a dangerous glint, like those of a wild beast ready to devour its prey.

It was because he could use Observation Haki to foresee the Future Sight that he was able to see that Shanks and Buggy would be swallowed by magma as soon as he took action.

That brat!!

So baby hot!

Now Rayleigh understood how this brat had defeated Zephyr.

"Why are you so serious? Smile, Rayleigh!"

Roa pounced forward, his twin blades, wreathed in violent elemental turbulence, scorching the air with just a swing.

Hmph, it has to be version TO!

Rayleigh, you old codger, you were watching the show in Sabaody Archipelago when Ace was executed, and you didn't even go to Marine Headquarters to get some moral blackmail. Now, I, Law, am here to fill in this important part of your life!

Rayleigh's brow furrowed as he swung his sword to meet the attack. "Kex! Buggy! Don't move! I'm coming to save you!"

He glimpsed the future again, but what he saw left him somewhat puzzled.

When!

The first clash of swords marked the beginning of a fierce battle between the two.

What exactly do you want to do?

Rayleigh clashed fiercely with Roa.

Although the two were locked in a fierce battle, both were well aware that Rayleigh had held back.

What puzzled Rayleigh was that in the future he had just seen, Roa hadn't used Shanks and Kiwi him into giving up, but had simply told him to cooperate.

"Wow, that's really something."

Roa was speechless.

Future Sight is a real headache.

Before he could say anything, Rayleigh had already started doing what he wanted.

But it doesn't matter.

Roa raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, I've already stalled you, which is enough to repay Uncle Shiki's Devil Fruit, right? As for how I stalled you, does it matter?"

Why risk your life for just one Mythical Zoan?

They had no grudge against the Roger Pirates, and were even counting on them to start the Great Pirate Era.

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If this brat were to unleash his full power, it would be an absolute disaster for the ordinary members of the Roger Pirates.

Of course, Rayleigh promised that he would make that brat pay with his life!

That's good too. Could Roger really lose to Golden Lion? Could Gaban really not handle Golden Lion's subordinates and Kaido?

"What a cunning devil."

Rayleigh remarked with this thought.

Just as Rocks said, this kid is his successor, and he has indeed perfectly inherited the qualities of the Rocks Pirates.

The Golden Lion back then also chose to retreat without hesitation.

Thus, the two began a "fierce" exchange with remarkable tacit understanding.

The earth was torn apart by the aftershocks of their attack, and the dense forest was blown away by the shockwaves of their clash.

This scene thrilled the Flying Pirates' executives, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Roger Pirates.

They actually managed to hold off Pluton Rayleigh!

As expected of Lord Roa!

The admiral was indeed brilliant; sending that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit absolutely the right decision!

While fiercely battling Rayleigh, Roa said, "This kind of direct fighting is getting a bit boring, Rayleigh. How do you do internal damage with Armament Haki? I can make Haki flow, but I still have no idea how to infiltrate an enemy's body."

The outward application of Armament Haki is already considered advanced and capable of penetrating Kaido's defenses.

However, the Armament Haki that can destroy internal structures is the truly top-tier skill, a skill that even the samurai of Wano Country haven't mastered.

Even Luffy figured it out on his own.

"Huh? Are you serious, you little brat?"

Rayleigh's lips twitched.

At times like this, in places like these, ask yourself:

"I'm just idling around anyway."

Roa casually remarked, "You don't want to either—huh? Right?"

"You brat!"

Rayleigh really wanted to just kill Roa with a single sword strike.

I don't know whether he thinks highly of me or looks down on me.

But for Shanks and Buggy.

"To achieve internal sabotage, one needs a system even stronger than flowing Armament Haki,"

As Rayleigh explained, the black Inazuma on the blade had vanished, replaced by an invisible aura that coiled around it, "Making Armament Haki more active, like flowing water, able to seep into the interior of any object through any crevice!"

"I see, I understand completely now!"

Completely confused and thinking Rayleigh was just spouting nonsense, Roa didn't hesitate to draw his sword and engage in another fierce clash with Rayleigh's blade.

I understand the principles, but how do I make Armament Haki flow like water?

Then, immediately, at the very moment the blades clashed, Roa sensed something— Armament Haki as fluid as water.

Its intensity is far greater than that of Armament Haki!

Moreover, it's more flexible and easier to use!

Each time the blades clashed with Rayleigh's, the elemental turbulence swirling around them would slightly explode.

Roa carefully sensed it, and with the foundation of flowing Armament Haki, it surprisingly seemed quite easy to understand.

Even on the battlefield amidst fierce battles, Roa never forgot to study diligently—this is the quality of contemporary youth!

However, just as Roa was studying diligently under the guidance of his tutor Rayleigh, a figure descended from the sky.

"Hey, Rayleigh, is this guy really that strong? How come he can fight you to this extent?"

Jia Zao, carrying two axes, landed on a leaning tree to the side and began to speak with great interest.

Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief; he'd arrived just in time.

Roa's lips twitched slightly.

Those men of yours are utterly useless, Uncle Shiki.

Fortunately, my reinforcements arrived.

"Roa!"

The colossal creature crashed to the ground. Kaido, who had just been cleaved away by Roger's sword, finally returned to the battlefield, roaring excitedly, "That bastard Roger was as strong as a monster!"

"Has my opponent arrived too?"

Gaban finally gripped his twin axes with a hint of excitement. "Kaido of the Beasts, come on!"

I have absolutely no interest in you!

Kaido glanced at Jia Zao, snorted, and then continued excitedly to Roa, "Use that move! I'm going to find Roger first!"

Roa Ya thought about it and decided it was a good idea; he should go find Roger and tell him that big secret.

Come on, unleash your combined ultimate attack!
