Conqueror's Haki! Who Doesn't Have It?!

At this very moment.

A battle was raging between three world-class powerhouses.

The scene could only be described as earth-shattering.

All the elite Marines present were dumbfounded.

Moreover.

After several hundred exchanges, Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, had faced two legendary Marines alone without falling into the slightest disadvantage. He had even remained completely unscathed.

"As expected of the creature known as the strongest in land, sea, and air. Such defensive power is indeed rare!" Even Hancock, the proud Pirate Empress among the Seven Warlords, could not help but express her surprise.

"Is this the true strength of an Emperor of the Sea?" Even Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's greatest Great Swordsman, muttered to himself. His gaze instantly sharpened, his eyes as keen as an eagle's.

Finally.

After a fierce clash, the three of them were forced apart.

"Hahahahaha!"

"I told you already, the remnants of the old era like you two are nothing to fear!"

"Well? Still want to continue, Garp, Sengoku?"

Kaido, completely unharmed, raised his spiked club and laughed toward the sky, his tone utterly arrogant.

Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku exchanged a glance. Though neither of them had suffered any injuries, they understood that even if they continued to fight Kaido, it would not lead to any result.

"Sengoku!"

Garp seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

Just then!

Roya stepped forward, using Soru and Geppo from the Six Powers to swiftly reach Garp and Sengoku's side.

"Vice Admiral Garp, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

"You two rest for now. Let me give it a try!"

Roya volunteered, a confident smile still on his lips.

"Roya, don't be ridiculous. Stand back. This is Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. You cannot possibly be his opponent," Sengoku immediately objected.

After what had happened with Blackbeard Teach, Donquixote Doflamingo, and Jack the Drought, Sengoku acknowledged Roya's formidable strength.

But just as he had said, the one before them was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!

The creature known as the strongest in land, sea, and air!

A terrifying existence whom even Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp, working together, had been unable to harm in the slightest!

As the Fleet Admiral of Marine Headquarters, Sengoku naturally could not simply allow such a promising young Marine as Roya to be harmed.

However.

Garp unexpectedly said, "Sengoku, let him try!"

"Garp! You!"

At first, Sengoku was furious. But when he saw the resolute look in Garp's eyes, he could only nod in agreement.

"Roya!"

"You can test his strength!"

"But do not force yourself, understand?"

Garp cautioned him.

"Understood, Vice Admiral Garp!" Roya answered with a smile, then strode forward.

Seeing Roya's confidence.

Everyone present froze, then began whispering among themselves.

"Who is this guy? Does he have a death wish?"

"Look at his rank. He's only a Marine rear admiral! Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp couldn't shake Kaido when they joined forces. Is he trying to get himself killed?"

Hawkeye Mihawk, Hancock, and Bartholomew Kuma of the Seven Warlords all watched Roya without saying a word.

Only Blackbeard Teach wore an extremely ugly expression when he saw Roya preparing to make a move.

"Roya! Are you finally going to act?" Blackbeard Teach said quietly.

After all, having experienced the power of both Roya and Kaido firsthand, Blackbeard Teach had the most right to speak on the matter.

"Hahahahaha."

"Are there no one left in your Marines?"

"You're actually sending out a little brat?"

"Kid, state your name. While you're at it, tell me how you want to die."

Watching Roya walk toward him, Kaido laughed scornfully, not taking him seriously at all.

"Kaido!"

"Didn't you come here looking for me?"

"Now I'm here!"

Roya sneered.

"You're Roya, the one who captured Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack?" Kaido's expression changed dramatically. As his rage surged, the ground beneath him cracked apart.

The reason Kaido had come here.

Was entirely because Roya had captured Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack the Drought. Now that the "culprit" had appeared, Kaido flew into a furious rage on the spot.

Immediately afterward.

Boom!

Kaido erupted with Conqueror's Haki that swept toward Roya like descending darkness. Fueled by fury, he had clearly pushed this burst of Conqueror's Haki to its limit.

As Kaido's violent Conqueror's Haki spread out, countless Marines could no longer endure it and collapsed one after another!

"Just what I wanted!"

After sneering, Roya suddenly raised his head and unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki.

Unlike Kaido's, Roya's Conqueror's Haki was filled with a blood-red aura of slaughter, not inferior to Kaido's in the slightest.

The two violent waves of Conqueror's Haki collided madly, evenly matched as overwhelming power spilled forth, their momentum grand and awe-inspiring!

"These two waves of Conqueror's Haki are like a battlefield of Asura!" Hancock was the first to cry out in shock.

Even the vice admirals and the other Seven Warlords present broke out in cold sweat. They could clearly feel the savage power within Kaido's Conqueror's Haki.

The three admirals, Sengoku, and Garp also wore grave expressions.

At this moment, Roya and Kaido appeared in everyone's eyes like two dark demon kings who had emerged from hell itself, terrifying beyond measure.

"That brat Roya seems even stronger than he was some time ago," Garp could not help but remark.

The two waves of Haki, like a battlefield of Asura, took quite a while to disperse, leaving remnants of Conqueror's Haki lingering through the air.

Yet Roya and Kaido both remained completely unharmed!

"You have Conqueror's Haki too?"

"Do you want to become a king as well? You?"

"This world doesn't need so many kings!"

Kaido roared hoarsely, his voice echoing across the heavens like a dragon's bellow.

The next second.

Kaido gripped his spiked club and charged forward. His violent Conqueror's Haki had already wrapped around the weapon as he swung it down at Roya's head.

Roya sneered once more.

Facing the frenzied Kaido, he showed not the slightest hint of panic and swiftly drew his sword.

Likewise!

Having trained his Conqueror's Haki to a high level, Roya had also unlocked the ability to release and coat his weapons with Conqueror's Haki.

Clang!

Rumble...

The sword and spiked club collided, producing a sharp, muffled crash.

What followed.

Was a tremor across the entire Marineford plaza, as though an earthquake had struck. The two layers of coated Conqueror's Haki collided, their force dozens of times stronger than the mere aura clash from before.
