The Ark Maxim travels in a northeast direction.
As they drew closer, the waves on the sea began to roll, with layer upon layer of waves surging towards them.
Roy's Observation Haki instantly detected Roger and his crew's presence on the distant island.
Roy accelerated the ship, Ark Maxim transformed into a shooting star in the air, leaving a trail of gold and red.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the distant sea, followed by shockwaves from the collision of two terrifyingly Haki!
"This is...!"
Roy's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
" Whitebeard and Roger! They've started fighting!"
Everyone felt those two terrifyingly Haki —one as bold and kingly as a king, as if it wanted to conquer the entire sea;
Another aura, majestic as a god, seemed capable of shaking the entire world. The collision of these two Haki caused the entire sea to tremble!
"Those who want to fight, prepare yourselves!"
Roy's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Whitebeard whale ship appeared in everyone's sight at the edge of the island.
Roy maneuvered the Ark Maxim down, and the group quickly disembarked. Only Dr. Gracia insisted on staying on the ship, refusing to leave no matter what.
"Boom--!" "Boom--!"
The roaring sounds from the island continued. Roy, Bullet, and Hawk Eyes exchanged a glance, and their Conqueror's Haki erupted simultaneously.
In the center of the island, two figures are engaged in an earth-shattering duel!
Edward Newgate, with his Whitebeard, wielded the Newgate Murakumogiri, each swing causing a violent tremor in the space around him, the air crackling like shattering glass.
His tall frame resembled a mountain, and his white captain's coat fluttered in the gale.
"Kura-ra-ra! Roger, you're still as good at fighting as ever!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly as Murakumogiri slashed down with devastating force.
Gol D. Roger met the attack with great spirit, while Ace, enveloped in golden Conqueror's Haki that seemed to solidify into a tangible form, clashed fiercely with Murakumogiri!
" Newgate, let's fight to the death today!"
"Boom--!!!"
The moment the two swords clashed, a terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring, shearing the surrounding ground down several meters again!
Black and red Inazuma leaped wildly between the two, as if the sky itself were about to be torn apart!
Around the battlefield between the two, the crew members on both sides also found their own opponents:
Marco the Phoenix transformed into a blue firebird, clashing fiercely with Dark King Rayleigh's sword light in mid-air;
Kozuki Oden's unrestrained Two-Sword Style clashed fiercely with Baku Gaban's twin axes, resulting in a close and evenly matched contest.
Diamond Jozu's completely diamond-formed body clashed head-on with Fish-Man Sambel's Fish-Man Karate;
Young Shanks and Buggy are also fighting against the younger members of the Whitebeard Pirates...
The entire deserted island transformed into a fierce battlefield, with shouts, the clash of weapons, and the explosions of abilities resounding through the sky!
Suddenly, from behind the island, Roy and his two companions unleashed their Conqueror's Haki.
This stunned both sides involved in the battle. Roy and Rayleigh exchanged a glance and smiled mysteriously, clearly recognizing the person.
Facing the still puzzled Whitebeard, Roger brandished Ace, grinned widely, and laughed heartily!
" Newgate!"
A bunch of troublesome kids are coming! Watch out!
"Snort!"
Whitebeard scanned the Observation Haki and gave a cold snort.
"They're just a bunch of brats! I'm Whitebeard!"
As he spoke, he continued to swing his Murakumogiri and attack Roger.
After exchanging greetings, Roy and his two companions didn't wait any longer. With a shout, they rushed towards the battlefield.
The group quickly crossed the outer perimeter of the island.
Aside from Roger and Newgate, who seemed unconcerned, the crews on both sides had already exercised considerable restraint.
The Conqueror's Haki from Roy and his two companions made them somewhat wary, fearing that someone might suddenly attack them from behind.
Amidst this tense atmosphere, the Roy Pirates finally appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
Watching the two sides clashing in the arena, Roy drew his long sword from his waist, the tip pointing straight at the battlefield.
"Comrades! Defeat them!"
"Okay!" everyone replied.
"Hey Gaban! We meet again!"
Bullet's wild roar echoed across the battlefield. With a powerful push of his feet, he transformed into his beast form mid-air.
He charged straight at Gaban, who was fighting Oden.
Gaban brandished his twin axes, laughing as he met the challenge, " Bullet, kid, didn't you get enough last time?"
The two instantly clashed, Bullet's Armament Haki Haki-covered fists colliding fiercely with Gaban's sharp double axes, unleashing a deafening roar!
At the same time, Dracule Mihawk silently appeared beside Kozuki Oden, slowly drawing his Black Blade Yoru, its sharp sword intent aimed directly at Oden.
He had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the samurai from Wano Country.
"Samurai of Wano Country! Please enlighten me."
Oden raised his twin swords.
"Hahaha! A swordsman?! A worthy opponent!! Let's go!!"
"Hahaha! Mr. Rayleigh! I've been waiting for this for so long!"
Tesoro also appeared in the battle between Rayleigh and Marco, his body crackling with lightning.
"Oh! Tesoro?! You've gotten a lot stronger too!!"
Rayleigh deflected the incoming lightning snake with a single slash, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Marco transformed into blue flames and retreated to the side, watching the battle with great interest.
"Hey, is this going to be a sequel to the Sabaody Archipelago battle?"
Meanwhile, Charon also approached Sambel, the Fish-Man from Roger Pirates, and displayed his Fish-Man Karate.
"Senior! Please enlighten me!"
"Have people from Fish-Man Island joined Roy's gang too?"
Sambel accepted the challenge with a smile.
"However, I won't show mercy just because you're from the same clan. Since you've decided to set sail and become a pirate, you should be prepared!"
"Come on, kid! Let me see your Fish-Man Karate!"
Jozu's diamond-like body turned to one side, directly facing Savi in his human-beast form.
"Kid! You're quite a big guy!"
"Hehe! You're not bad either!"
Savi unleashed a 'Shave' technique, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Pea, Enel, Moria, and Vera, following Roy's instructions, each sought out the opponents of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates.
The battlefield became even more chaotic with the addition of the Roy Pirates, and the three forces engaged in an unprecedented melee on this deserted island.
Whitebeard, who was engaged in fierce combat with Roger, glanced at the battlefield out of the corner of his eye and laughed loudly.
"Kurarara! Roger, it seems these kids are quite familiar with you!"
" Newgate, these kids are no pushovers. They gave the Navy a real hard time at Sabaody last time!"
Upon hearing this, Whitebeard understood; he had been following the reports about Roy and his group.
"Interesting! Let me see what they're capable of!"
Seeing that everyone had found their opponents, Roy took a deep breath, his figure slowly rising into the air, and he went straight into the battlefield between Whitebeard and Roger.
