But Roy did not stop in the face of Ace and the others' roars.
Shadows gathered around him.
The shadows swallowed Squard's corpse outright.
Even in the New World, Squard was no weakling.
Once he became a Shikigami, his strength could reach the level of an Elite Vice Admiral.
Even among the forces of the Four Emperors, Elite Vice Admiral-level fighting power was in a class of its own.
This haul had taken no effort at all!
"Roy... you actually killed one of our Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Pops will never let you get away with this!"
Ace and Rakuyo were utterly chilled.
Roy truly had no fear of the Whitebeard Pirates.
In the past, wherever they went, they would be fine even if they lost.
People feared Whitebeard's might and would let them go.
But today, Roy was not afraid.
"Enough. You talk too much."
"People will be here soon."
"You two can enter my Shadow Grave first."
Roy's expression did not change.
He paid no mind to Ace and Rakuyo's threats.
In an instant, he appeared before Rakuyo again.
He killed him on the spot.
He took him into the Shadow Space.
Once infused with cursed energy, he would transform into a Shikigami.
That would be another Elite Vice Admiral-level Shikigami!
"Ace, a piece of trash like you can only watch me kill your companions, can't you?"
"You're so useless."
"Why are you still alive?"
Roy had not planned to deal Ace a lethal blow.
Instead, he kept provoking him with words.
"Ah... Roy... am I really useless?!"
Just as Ace was about to erupt, Roy knocked him unconscious.
"Heh, hurry up and grow stronger."
"This body of yours might prove very useful someday."
"For example, against a certain Nika..."
Roy shook his head, his gaze flickering.
In the end,
