The tangible Conqueror's Haki erupted violently.
A powerful aura surged in all directions like a hurricane.
Boom!!!
After a muffled blast,
came the sounds of heavy bodies hitting the ground.
The Conqueror's Haki Roya unleashed this time was not merely mental suppression. It had become tangible, directly inflicting harm upon the prisoners.
Roya's command of Conqueror's Haki had become even more refined. He had already reached advanced-level Conqueror's Haki!
"Conqueror's Haki? Interesting!" Bullet was the first to show interest. Sensing the power of Roya's Conqueror's Haki, a faint smile curled across his lips.
"I never expected that after all these years, the Marines would have improved so much. Even a mere rear admiral has mastered Conqueror's Haki." Red Count Redfield also laughed.
The other infamous pirate captains reacted similarly.
Even Magellan stared at Rear Admiral Roya in astonishment, viewing him in a new light.
To be honest, Magellan's initial attitude toward Roya had been fairly ordinary. Though he had introduced things along the way, he had merely been fulfilling his duties as a host.
Like everyone else, Magellan had initially assumed Roya was just a rear admiral. It would have been understandable if his strength had been nothing special.
But judging from the Conqueror's Haki Roya had just unleashed, he had truly earned Magellan's respect.
Magellan even sighed inwardly. Were the young Marines of this generation all so powerful? Such a young rear admiral possessed such formidable Conqueror's Haki.
Most of the prisoners had been intimidated by the strength Roya displayed and no longer dared cause trouble, so imprisoning Ace afterward went smoothly.
But then—
led by Bullet, there were still some prisoners who refused to submit. They sneered, "Heh, isn't it just Conqueror's Haki? What's so impressive about that? In the New World, plenty more people possess Conqueror's Haki. You were simply lucky enough to train yours to the point where it became tangible. But what can Conqueror's Haki alone prove?"
After all, the prisoners confined to Infinite Hell were no ordinary people. Though most had been subdued, some still refused to accept it. Naturally, those defiant prisoners were exceptionally strong, and they had likely been imprisoned here for many years, perhaps unaware of the situation outside. So they continued to mock him.
"So, you're not convinced?" Roya sneered.
"So, you're not convinced?" Roya sneered.
"That's right!"
"We just aren't convinced. What are you going to do about it?"
"It's only Conqueror's Haki. Do you really think you're an admiral now?"
Before Roya could speak,
this time, Magellan made his move!
Magellan activated his Venom-Venom Fruit power, using venom to form three massive purple dragons behind him. In an instant, the Venom Dragons lunged forward, and one particularly defiant prisoner was immediately corroded by poison.
"Aaaahhh..."
The prisoner immediately collapsed to the ground and began howling in agony. Without an antidote, he could only wait to die in pain. Unfortunately for him, Magellan had no intention of giving him one.
Seeing Magellan act, the prisoners fell silent. There was no doubting Magellan's strength.
Even Roya was somewhat shaken upon seeing the power of Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit.
However—
Roya had no intention of letting Magellan steal all the spotlight.
This was the perfect opportunity to display the Dark-Dark Fruit power he had already trained to the intermediate level.
As the thought crossed his mind, Roya had already begun to act.
Dark matter instantly burst forth from his body. Within only a few seconds, it had spread throughout the entirety of Infinite Hell and completely covered it.
"Th... what is this..."
Just as most of the prisoners were astonished by Roya's Dark-Dark Fruit power, the dark matter began to churn like a raging tide. Every prisoner covered by the darkness felt as though they had stepped into a swamp. Their limbs could not move freely at all, and they could only slowly wait to be swallowed by the dark matter.
Having trained the Dark-Dark Fruit to the intermediate level, the range and effects of Roya's Dark Hole far surpassed those of Blackbeard Teach.
Several minutes later,
Roya withdrew his Dark-Dark Fruit power.
By then, a great number of prisoners had fainted after being swallowed and wrapped up by the Dark-Dark Fruit power. Some had even suffocated to death.
"Wh... he's... he's also a Devil Fruit user..."
"Too... too terrifying... What kind of power is that..."
The small number of surviving prisoners panicked once more. This time, they had truly submitted and no longer dared continue mocking him. They knew that the Roya before them was not only immensely powerful, but also decisive and ruthless. If they continued to ridicule him, they would be the ones to die.
At that moment,
Magellan stared at Roya with a deeply furrowed brow, disbelief written all over his face. He thought, What kind of power is that? When that dark matter covered me just now, I even felt a chill run down my spine, as though it could swallow me too. Combined with his earlier display of Conqueror's Haki, he has practically reached the strength of the three admirals. Terrifying!
At this point, Magellan sincerely acknowledged and admired Roya's strength. He even began to feel an alarming sense of threat from him.
"Hmm, the Dark-Dark Fruit power is pretty good, but it's still not strong enough. Looks like I need to work even harder!" Roya felt the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit he had just unleashed.
Although his performance had already shocked everyone, Roya was still unsatisfied, because what he sought was even greater strength!
Just then,
the system's voice rang out once more.
