The hall was brightly lit.
The CP0 leader suddenly stood up, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted!
Dark red arcs of electricity crackled around him, shattering the surrounding tables and chairs!
The teacup crashed to the ground and shattered into dust.
A black figure slowly walked in through the entrance of the hall.
Moonlight streamed in from outside the door, illuminating that young yet aloof face.
A black trench coat, short blond hair, and black eyes that seemed to hold an endless abyss.
Roy.
" Roy!!!"
The CP0 chief's pupils contracted sharply, a chill running down his spine!
What are you doing here?!
Where are those CP0 elites?!
Why didn't anyone warn us?!
Roy didn't answer, he just looked at him quietly.
That gaze was as calm as an abyss.
"You... you took all those people..."
For the first time, the CP0 chief's voice trembled.
Roy still did not answer.
He simply raised his hand and waved it lightly.
Using his Telekinesis, he formed invisible tentacles that slowly closed the door behind him.
Bang--!!!
The gate was tightly shut, blocking out the moonlight.
Inside the hall, only the faint glow of candlelight illuminated the two facing figures.
Roy finally spoke, his voice as calm as if he were discussing the weather.
"Next, it's your turn."
Inside the hall, candlelight flickered.
The two figures stood facing each other, and the air seemed to freeze into a tangible substance.
The CP0 chief stared intently at the man before him, his eyes behind the mask filled with shock and disbelief.
Dozens of CP0 elites were wiped out without a sound.
And he, as the chief of staff, had not received any warning!
what does that mean?
This means that the man before them possesses strength sufficient to crush those elites, as well as... an unbelievable stealth ability!
" Roy..."
The CP0 chief took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his shock, and his voice returned to its icy tone.
Do you know what a heinous crime it is to attack the World Government's highest intelligence agency?
"A serious crime?"
A faint smile curved Roy's lips.
"I've already conquered Mary Geoise, what's one more CP0 member like you?"
The CP0 chief's face stiffened.
Yes, this man in front of us is the one who wreaked havoc in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, freed thousands of slaves, and looted the Celestial Dragons' treasury!
What does a mere CP0 mean to him?
"Okay, very good."
The CP0 chief sneered, and his domineering Haki began to surge wildly.
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished!
Shave and change!
This is a unique skill he perfected by combining his own characteristics with the "Shave" technique from the Six Powers!
Its speed surpassed the limits of the conventional Six Powers, so fast that it left no afterimage, like instantaneous teleportation!
The next second, he was already behind Roy!
His right hand was shaped like a knife, and his Armament Haki was concentrated to the extreme. The jet-black blade pierced straight into Roy's back!
"Die!"
This strike was as swift as Inazuma and as ruthless as a venomous snake!
Enough to pierce steel and shatter rock!
However, just as his chop was about to touch Roy, an invisible force suddenly acted on him!
Telekinesis Field - Deflection!
The chop grazed Roy's body and pierced the air!
"What?!"
The CP0 chief's pupils constricted sharply!
In that instant, a jet-black blade of light swept across!
Black Blade Shusui!
The blade flashed like lightning, carrying a sharp edge that could cut through anything, aiming straight for the CP0 chief's throat!
The CP0 chief was horrified. He dodged with all his might, twisting his body in mid-air to narrowly avoid the attack!
The blade grazed his cheek, shaving off a few strands of hair!
He stomped his feet repeatedly, instantly retreating ten meters and creating distance between himself and Roy!
Observation Haki... prediction?!
The CP0 chief covered the tiny bloodstains on his face from the blade, staring at the red light flashing in Roy's eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.
In that brief moment, he clearly had the upper hand and was moving at top speed.
Why was Roy able to react in advance?!
Moreover, that strange power—not Haki, yet capable of deflecting his attacks!
What kind of ability is that?!
" The Telekinesis Fruit."
Roy sheathed his sword and said calmly,
"Controlling all invisible spiritual forces."
"Besides, no matter how fast you are, in my eyes you're as slow as a snail."
The CP0 chief's face turned ashen.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, and assumed a fighting stance once more.
"Then let's give it a try!"
He suddenly erupted again!
This time, it was no longer a simple thrust, but a frenzied attack with Six Powers unleashed!
Shave! Rankyaku! Shigan! Geppo! Kami-e! Tekkai!
He used the Six Powers in alternation, combined with his own Haki cultivation, to create a storm of attacks!
His speed was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye, and every attack was cunning and ruthless, aiming straight for Roy's vitals!
The vacuum slash of the Rankyaku came from all directions!
The sharp, swift wind from the Shigan blocks all escape routes!
The fists and feet, reinforced with Tekkai, slammed down with the power to split mountains and shatter rocks!
Shave and Geppo allowed him to move through the air like a ghost, making him impossible to lock onto!
Even a Admiral of similar strength would have to temporarily retreat and seek an opportunity to counterattack when faced with such a fierce attack.
But Roy simply stood still, not moving an inch.
Black Blade Shusui wielded in his hand, each swing precisely parrying the incoming attacks.
Telekinesis Field spreads around him, deflecting, weakening, and slowing down those unstoppable attacks.
With his Observation Haki fully unleashed, every movement of the CP0 Chief and the trajectory of every attack was crystal clear to him.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...
The dense clanging of metal blended together, making it almost impossible to distinguish the intervals.
The CP0 chief's relentless attacks, like a torrential downpour, failed to break through Roy's defenses!
The more he fought, the more terrified he became.
Roy's speed, strength, and Haki presence far exceeded his expectations!
Even more terrifying was that eerie Telekinesis.
He could always precisely deflect his attacks the instant he struck, disrupting his rhythm!
And that unfathomable Observation Haki, as if it could Future Sight and always be able to prepare a response in advance!
How can we fight this?!
"What, is that all you've got?"
Roy's voice drifted faintly from amidst the flashing swords.
"The CP0 chief is nothing special."
The CP0 chief's face turned ashen, and with a roar, his offensive became even more ferocious!
But no matter how fiercely he attacked, Roy's defense remained rock solid.
Thirty moves, fifty moves, eighty moves...
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged nearly a hundred blows.
The tables and chairs in the hall had long since turned to dust, the walls were full of cracks, and even the beams were trembling, as if they would collapse at any moment.
The CP0 chief's offensive is finally starting to show weaknesses.
His breathing became heavy, and his movements slowed slightly.
After all, a full-force attack for nearly a hundred rounds had taken a heavy toll.
Roy remained standing in the same spot, his breathing steady and his eyes calm.
There was even a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips.
That smile sent a chill down the spine of the CP0 chief.
He wasn't fighting against himself...
He's... playing with himself!
The idea had barely formed in the mind of the CP0 chief when it came to mind.
Roy, who had been on the defensive, suddenly disappeared!
Black Blade Shusui sweeps across, forcing back the CP0 Chief!
At the same time, Telekinesis explodes at full force!
Telekinesis - Imprisonment!
An invisible spiritual force transformed into countless shackles, instantly enveloping the CP0 Chief!
His body suddenly froze!
Although it was only for a brief moment, that one moment...
That's enough.
"It's over!"
Roy's calm voice boomed in his ear, and the Black Blade Shusui, condensed with Conqueror's Haki Coating, slashed down!
The blade was as black as ink, with crackling black and red Inazuma on its surface, carrying the power of death as it aimed straight for the CP0 Chief's head!
"Not good!!!"
The CP0 Chief's pupils constricted sharply as he struggled with all his might to break free from the Telekinesis restraints, his body frantically retreating!
But it was too late.
The blade is already at my side!
puff--!!!
Blood gushed out!
The CP0 chief screamed as a deep, gruesome wound, exposing bone, was slashed open from his left shoulder to his chest!
His entire left arm was almost severed!
He staggered backward, crashing into the wall, and blood gushed out!
"Ah--!!!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the hall.
Roy sheathed his sword and watched him silently.
Blood slowly slid down the blade and dripped onto the ground.
"Too bad, they dodged quickly enough."
"Otherwise, this strike would have taken your life."
The CP0 chief clutched his bleeding wound, his face ashen, his eyes filled with horror and fear.
Almost there...
I almost died!
Is this man in front of me really human?!
That power, that Haki, and that eerie Telekinesis...
As the CP0 chief and the leader of the World Government's highest intelligence agency, he was utterly powerless against him!
"You... you..."
