"It should have been done a long time ago!"
Bullet, who could no longer contain himself, received the message and let out an extremely excited roar, unleashing both demonic Demonic Aura and Conqueror's Haki simultaneously.
With a single punch, he knocked Gaban away, and with a few blinks using 'Shave', he appeared beside Roy.
Hawk Eyes was equally fast, shaking off Kozuki Oden's entanglement and appearing beside Roy as well.
"Hey! Hawk Eyes, don't run away! We're really getting into the swing of things!"
Kozuki Oden, carrying his twin swords, watched his opponent's attack vanish in an instant and shouted in dissatisfaction.
Gaban wiped the blade of his axe and looked at the three figures converging in front of him.
"It seems the battlefield over there needs them more. However, to think that just the three of them can take on Whitebeard and Roger is really..."
Gaban's gaze shifted, turning back to Oden had lost his opponent.
"Come on, Oden! Let's continue our battle!"
Faced with this equally matched opponent, Kozuki Oden instantly forgot about Hawk Eyes, who had retreated.
He brandished his twin swords, and the fighting spirit in his eyes rekindled.
"That suits me perfectly!"
" Oden Two-Sword Style: Peach Blossom Spring!"
"Good timing!"
Gaban laughed loudly, wielding his double axes with impenetrable force.
The axe blade and the knife edge clashed fiercely once again, sparks flying everywhere!
Both were powerful fighters with both strength and skill, and their fighting style was wide-ranging and aggressive, causing the ground to tremble with every clash.
Meanwhile, the dust around Whitebeard and Roger, who had blocked Roy's returning attack, gradually dissipated.
Roy, Bullet, Hawk Eyes stood in a triangular formation, their auras subtly merging into one.
It rivals the overwhelming, ocean-like pressure of Whitebeard and Roger!
"Kurarara... The three little devils standing together do look quite imposing."
Whitebeard held the Murakumogiri in one hand, a white halo flowing across the blade.
"But do you think you can defeat us like this?"
"Hahaha! Newgate, looks like we've been underestimated!"
Roger hoisted Ace onto his shoulder, his face still bearing that same hearty smile.
"Enough with the nonsense!" Roy swung his long sword.
"Let's go!"
"Roar!" Bullet roared, unleashing a beam of light from his mouth that shot directly at the two figures opposite him. He knew that any probing against these two monsters was futile, and his figure followed closely behind the beam of light.
"White Tiger - Sky-Splitting Strike!"
The tiger claws, Conqueror's Haki Coating, tore through the air with a demonic howl, aiming straight for Whitebeard's face!
"Oh! Another Conqueror's Haki Coating!?"
"But you're far inferior to that brat!"
" Air Quake!!"
Whitebeard unleashed another punch, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power causing space to shatter inch by inch, meeting Bullet's tiger claw head-on without backing down!
"Boom--!!!"
The instant the two collided, Hawk Eyes moved!
Instead of helping Bullet, he moved with lightning speed, appearing beside Roger like a ghost.
With a will to sever everything, the Black Blade Yoru silently stabbed towards Roger's ribs! The angle of this strike was extremely tricky.
Even Roger was slightly surprised.
"A pure swordsman, huh? Not bad, you little Hawk Eyes!"
Roger seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, Ace defended from an incredible angle, precisely blocking the Black Blade Yoru's stab!
But just as Roger blocked Hawk Eyes's attack, Roy's killing move arrived!
" Gravity Singularity - Collapse!"
Roy clenched his fists, and a tiny black dot instantly appeared in front of his palms!
The black dot seemed to devour all the surrounding light, emitting a terrifying wave of destruction!
Instead of attacking directly, Roy slammed the unstable Gravity Singularity towards Whitebeard, who was locked in a struggle with Bullet!
"What?!"
Whitebeard's pupils contracted; he could sense the terrifying energy contained within that small black dot!
If it were allowed to erupt at such close range, even he would be injured!
"Kurarara! You cunning little devil!"
Whitebeard suddenly exerted his strength, Murakumogiri Bullet. He then unleashed a powerful spin, channeling the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and blasted towards the Gravity Singularity.
Try to destroy or push it away before it fully erupts!
Meanwhile, Roger, in the instant he parried Hawk Eyes's thrust, also encountered Roy's pre-planned countermeasure—
" Mental Storm - Chaos!"
An invisible yet incredibly violent Mental Shock, like countless sharp needles, pierced Roger's brain!
Even a powerhouse like Roger couldn't help but experience a slight stiffness in his movements under this sudden mental attack!
"Now!"
Hawk Eyes's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and Black Blade Yoru slashed upwards in the same direction, unleashing a condensed green slash like a dragon soaring into the sky, aiming straight for the opening Roger had made due to his stiffness!
Hahaha! That's interesting!
Roger forcefully broke free from the mental interference at the critical moment, Conqueror's Haki erupted. Ace slashed down with unstoppable momentum!
Boom! Boom!
Two explosions, rang out almost simultaneously, shook the entire battlefield!
On one side, the Gravity Singularity was prematurely detonated by Whitebeard's shockwave, and the terrifying gravitational turbulence and shockwave force tore and annihilated each other, turning that area into an absolute no-man's land!
On the other side, Hawk Eyes's Rising Dragon Slash clashed with Roger's slash, and black and red Conqueror's Haki Inazuma and green sword energy raged wildly!
Amidst the smoke and dust of the explosion, five figures were simultaneously thrown backward.
Whitebeard's right hand, holding the sword, went slightly numb. Looking at the chaotic energy zone ahead, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Roger rubbed his still slightly throbbing temples, and looking at Hawk Eyes and Roy, his smile became even more excited.
Roy's face was somewhat pale; the continuous use of Gravity Singularity and Mental Storm had taken a toll on him.
Bullet was panting heavily; the direct confrontation with Whitebeard had left his blood surging.
Hawk Eyes's hand holding the sword remained steady, but his breathing became a little more rapid.
"Kurarara... Not bad, little devils."
Whitebeard Murakumogiri heavily into the ground, creating a shockwave.
"You truly deserve the title of 'New Era'."
Roger shook his numb arm and grinned, "But shouldn't the warm-up be over? Let's see what else you guys have up your sleeves!"
As you wish!
A glint flashed in Roy's eyes, and his mental energy instantly connected with Bullet and Hawk Eyes.
The three of them suddenly sprang into action, transforming into three streaks of light to launch another attack.
Bullet continued to focus his attacks on Whitebeard, his tiger claws unleashing a frenzied assault with a tearing, all-consuming force.
Hawk Eyes remained close to Roger, his swordplay becoming increasingly fierce.
Roy moved along the edge of the battlefield, sometimes providing support with his sword, sometimes disrupting the battlefield with his Gravity Domain, and sometimes launching Mental Shock, maximizing his control over the battlefield.
"Command - Slow Down!"
Roy seized the moment when Whitebeard swung his sword and forcibly slowed down the flow of time in that area.
It was this slight delay that allowed Bullet to narrowly avoid Murakumogiri's fatal blow, and with a backhand swipe, leave three bloody gashes on Whitebeard's chest.
"Interesting!"
Instead of getting angry, Whitebeard laughed, unleashing the full power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit, causing the space within a hundred meters to tremble.
"But how many more times can such a trick be used?"
The battle on the other side was equally fierce.
Roger's Conqueror's Haki Coating even more violently, each strike carrying the force of creation.
But Hawk Eyes also continued to break through under Roger's pressure, and Black Blade Yoru seemed to have become one with him.
Each sword strike precisely targeted the weakest point in Divine Departure, and the Conqueror's Haki on his body seemed to be gathering strength.
