The Flower Capital, Kurozumi Orochi's Mansion.
The luxurious hall was brightly lit, and the CP0 chief sat in the main seat, his eyes behind the mask as cold as an abyss.
Below, a CP0 elite is kneeling on one knee, reporting the latest intelligence.
"... The mine was attacked; preliminary assessment indicates that it was led by ' Thunder God ' Tesoro of the Roy Pirates."
Accompanying them were Kaido's daughter, Yamato, and about five hundred enhanced soldiers.
"Vice Admiral Momonga, Onigumo, Doberman have joined the battle, and Lord ' Demon Mask ' is currently fighting Tesoro."
"The battle is currently at a stalemate, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"
The CP0 chief's brow furrowed deeply.
Mine--
That is the core interest of the World Government's cooperation with Kurozumi Orochi, the lifeblood of the Seastone resource.
If the mines fall, the gains of this Wano Country operation will be greatly diminished.
He couldn't bear the wrath of the Five Elders.
"Pass on my order—"
The CP0 chief stood up, his voice as cold as iron.
"First, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, depart immediately to aid the mine."
Tell ' Demon Mask ' to defend the mine at all costs.
"Yes!"
Six CP0 elites stood up simultaneously, accepted their orders, and left.
Their figures vanished like ghosts into the night in an instant.
The CP0 chief sat back in his seat, looking out the window toward the mine.
There, lightning flashed, and a faint rumbling sound could be heard.
The CP0 chief took a deep breath, suppressing his unease.
Since the main force of the Roy Pirates is at the mine, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Six CP0 elites, plus ' Demon Mask ' and three Vice Admiral, were enough to hold off Tesoro and his five hundred soldiers.
As for Roy himself...
The CP0 chief snorted coldly.
According to intelligence, Roy should still be on Onigashima, discussing countermeasures with Kaido.
Even if he comes, it will take time.
This period of time was sufficient for the battle at the mine to reach a conclusion.
But what he didn't know was --
The moment the six CP0 elites left the mansion, an invisible Telekinesis had already silently locked onto them.
In the night sky, Roy floated among the clouds, his black trench coat fluttering in the night wind.
His eyes were slightly closed, and the power of his Telekinesis Fruit was unleashed at full force.
The six auras were as clear as a beacon in the darkness to him.
They were speeding towards the mine at an extremely fast pace.
The techniques of Geppo, Shave, and Six Powers are used alternately, moving as fast as six black shadows darting through the night sky.
Roy opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
Want to provide support to the mine?
Did you ask me?
In the next instant, Roy's figure vanished silently into the clouds.
Six CP0 elites sped off.
The leader, codenamed " Silver Owl," is the strongest among the six, with strength approaching that of Admiral candidate.
His shaving technique has been perfected to the extreme; with each step, he can instantly traverse hundreds of meters, so fast that even his afterimage is not visible.
"Speed up!"
Silver Owl hissed.
"The situation at the mine is urgent; we must get there as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
The five people behind him responded in unison, increasing their speed once again.
The night wind howled, and six dark figures streaked across the night sky like shooting stars.
They crossed mountains and rivers, and the outline of the mine could be vaguely seen ahead.
However, at this very moment,
Silver Owl's body suddenly sank!
An invisible, immense force, like a mountain weighing tens of thousands of tons, crashed down from all directions!
"What--!"
He cried out in alarm, lost control of his body, and plummeted rapidly from the sky!
The other five people were hit in the same way; amidst terrified screams, the six of them crashed onto the ground below like dumplings being dropped into a pot!
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Six muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously, creating six deep craters several meters in diameter in the ground, and dust billowed out!
"Enemy attack!!"
Silver Owl roared, struggling to stand up, but the invisible pressure still pressed down on him.
Make him unable to move!
He strained to activate his Armament Haki, attempting to resist this strange pressure.
But he could only barely lift his head and look ahead.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a black figure slowly approached.
A black trench coat, short blond hair, and black eyes that seemed to hold an endless abyss.
Roy.
" Heavenly Dao... Roy!"
Silver Owl's pupils contracted sharply, and a chill ran through his heart!
Shouldn't he be on Onigashima?!
How did you end up here!
Roy didn't answer, he just watched them quietly.
That gaze was as if looking down at an ant.
"Asshole!"
Another CP0 elite roared, raising his right hand with all his might.
Armament Haki gathered at his fingertips, and he pointed sharply in Roy's direction!
" Flying Finger Pistol - Pierce!"
A sharp gust of wind shot out, aiming straight for Roy's brow!
This is his ultimate move, a strike that gathers all his strength and is powerful enough to pierce through steel!
Faced with such a fierce attack, Roy didn't even look at it; a red light flashed in his eyes, and he merely tilted his head slightly.
The wind grazed his cheek and slammed into the mountainside behind him, blasting a crater several meters in diameter.
"What?!"
The CP0 elite stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
His all-out attack was dodged so easily?
Is that all you've got?
Roy spoke softly, his voice as calm as if he were discussing the weather.
"The elites of CP0 are nothing special."
As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand gripped the Black Blade Shusui, at his waist.
Silver Owl's pupils constricted sharply, and it roared with all its might.
"Attack together! Don't give him a chance!"
The six of them unleashed their power simultaneously, their Armament Haki surging wildly, enveloping their entire bodies, in an attempt to break free from the invisible Psychokinesis: Imprisonment!
However, the pressure was simply too great.
So large that even with their best efforts, they could barely lift their arms and couldn't even stand up!
" Telekinesis - Heavy Pressure."
Roy uttered three words softly, and pressed his right hand down slightly.
boom--!!!
The six people felt the pressure on them instantly increase several times over!
The ground collapsed again, and the six people were embedded deep into the pit, their bones creaking under the weight!
"Ah--!!!"
Amidst screams, some people coughed up blood, while others had their eyes rolled back and were on the verge of fainting!
Silver Owl gritted his teeth and, with all his might, raised his head to look at Roy.
His eyes were filled with horror and resentment.
Is this... is this the true strength of " Heavenly Dao " Roy, with a bounty of 2.5 billion?!
The difference... how could it be so huge?!
Roy walked to the edge of the pit and looked down at them.
With his right hand, he slowly drew the Black Blade Shusui.
The blade gleamed with a cold, eerie light under the moonlight, reflecting the terrified faces of the six men.
You're unlucky.
Roy said calmly,
"Of all times, it had to run into me."
As he finished speaking, a glint of malice flashed in his eyes.
Telekinesis - Mental Interference!
The six people's consciousness instantly descended into chaos!
The scene before my eyes began to distort, as if countless illusions were exploding in my mind!
Fear, despair, confusion... all sorts of negative emotions surged in like a tide.
This prevents them from concentrating on resisting!
At this very moment
The blade flashed.
Black Blade Shusui transformed into a jet-black streak, drawing a perfect arc in the air.
The flash of the blade was as fast as Inazuma, and as beautiful as a dream.
But all it brought was death.
puff--!!!
Blood gushed out!
The throats of six CP0 elites were simultaneously slit open!
Their bodies froze on the spot, and the light in their eyes quickly dimmed.
He didn't even have time to let out a final scream.
Roy sheathed his sword and shook off the blood remaining on it.
Blood droplets spilled onto the ground, gleaming eerily in the moonlight.
He glanced at the six gradually cooling corpses at the bottom of the pit, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
From the moment the attack began to the moment it ended, it was only a few breaths.
All six CP0 elites were wiped out.
Roy turned around and continued walking towards the Flower Capital.
The figure gradually blended into the night.
Behind them, only six deep pits, six corpses, and the gradually spreading stench of blood remained.
The night wind howled, scattering the last trace.
Ahead, the lights of Kurozumi Orochi's mansion remained brightly lit.
There, even more prey awaited him.
