The clash between Bullet and Gaban was the first to erupt!
"Take this punch!"
Bullet roared, Armament Haki flowing across his brass knuckles, and a faint phantom of a white tiger appeared.
With an aura that seemed to tear everything apart, it slammed directly into Gaban's face.
"Impressive momentum,"
Gaban crossed his two axes, facing the incoming fist head-on, and blocked it in an instant.
Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his right hand, and the back of the axe smashed directly into Bullet's waist.
"Bang!"
The difference in quality is immediately apparent!
But the excitement in Bullet's eyes grew increasingly frenzied!
He could sense that Gaban was the whetstone he had been longing for!
He pounced again, his fists flying like the wind, each strike delivered with all his might.
With its formidable physique and extraordinary strength, it launched a frenzied attack on Gaban.
Faced with such a crazy Bullet, Gaban had no choice but to take him seriously. If he lost to this kid, he'd be laughed at to death by Roger.
Both fighters had extremely fierce fighting styles, and every collision caused the earth to shake, as if two ferocious beasts were fighting.
The fight between Hawk Eyes and Rayleigh may seem unremarkable, but as swordsmen, every move is extremely dangerous.
Hawk Eyes raised his Black Blade Yoru, which then transformed into a black Inazuma, unleashing an extremely refined sword aura.
"A very sharp slash!"
A serious glint flashed across Rayleigh's face behind his glasses. With a flick of his longsword, a sword aura shot out as well.
The sword energy split Hawk Eyes's strike in two, and the remaining sword energy even forced Hawk Eyes to take a step back.
"My way of the sword is to sever everything."
Hawk Eyes's voice was calm. With a flick of his wrist, he closed in again, unleashing another strike from his Black Blade Yoru.
The sword energy continued to envelop Rayleigh's vital points.
Rayleigh wielded his longsword, precisely deflecting each attack. A dense clang of swordsmanship echoed through the arena, showcasing two distinct sword techniques.
Yet they are strangely similar; one is sharp and calm, the other is quiet and domineering.
Tesoro faced off against Sambel, Fish-Man from Roger's ship, and used the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to turn him into lightning.
It moves at extremely high speed, launching unexpected attacks from various angles.
Sambel, relying on his Fish-Man Karate and powerful physique, withstood Tesoro's attacks.
A gigantic hand slammed into the air, unleashing a powerful shockwave. " Fish-Man Karate - Five Thousand Brick Fist!"
The shockwave collided with lightning in mid-air, causing a series of explosions.
Stella flew through the air, shooting out feathered arrows as she clashed with sniper Petermoo, while Savi transformed into an ancient Giant Ape and faced off against a burly man as well.
Even the youngest member, Enel, sought out Shanks and Buggy from Roger Pirates.
Through its Logia, it is now entangled with them.
The Pea stood still, while countless vines sprouted from the ground, sometimes hindering, sometimes supporting their companion.
Green light condensed in his hands, ready to heal his injured companions at any time.
Roy drew ' Frost Snow ', tearing through the air in front of him. Armament Haki enveloped him, and gravity and Mental Shock simultaneously coalesced at the blade's tip. Facing Roger, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
" Gravity Blade - Mental Storm "
"Hahaha~ Kid! You're here just in time!"
Roger laughed heartily, drew his Supreme Great Grade Sword ' Ace ', black Inazuma coalesced on the blade, and struck his signature pose.
" Divine Departure!!"
"Buzz~~"
As Roy's Frost Snow was about to collide with Ace, it was unable to advance even an inch due to the Conqueror's Haki entangling it, resulting in a momentary stalemate.
Roy's body flew backward, crashing through several giant trees behind him before slowly coming to a stop.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Roy's eyes flashed with a hint of speechlessness. Who would have thought that Roger would Conqueror's Haki Coating right from the start?
If netizens from his past lives knew this, they'd probably all quickly tell Roy, " Divine Departure you, you're even more awesome than God."
Feeling his current physical condition, he was relieved that his physique was still intact; otherwise, he would have been defeated in one move, and how could he have held his head high in front of Bullet and Hawk Eyes?
He raised the knife again, a red glint flashing in his eyes.
"You really think highly of me, Roger! You start with Conqueror's Haki Coating!"
Haha, didn't you accept it?
Roger laughed heartily and raised his sword again to meet the attack.
Damn, did I even catch that? I was just knocked away.
Damn it, this Roger Deng has no sportsmanship, bullying a young man like me like this.
As they drew near, Roy activated his Gravity Domain, using his Observation Haki to fully perceive Roger's next move. He unleashed Frost Snow Slash, unleashing the full power of his four years of intensive swordsmanship training, his mental energy assaulting Roger's brain.
"Clang--" The twin swords clashed again, and Roger used the force to take a step back.
"Not bad, kid!"
Roger's smile faded slightly. This brat's attack was truly bizarre—the sudden application of gravity, the invisible mental interference, and the fact that his dual-color Haki had reached an extremely high level. He couldn't afford to be careless.
"Again!"
Roy's fighting spirit intensified. With a low shout, he stomped his feet, creating a shallow crater in the ground. His mental Telekinesis broke through the air barrier in front of him, increasing his speed even further.
This time, we'll maximize our strengths!
" Gravity Domain - Gravity Blade - Instant Shadow"
An invisible force field instantly enveloped Roger once again, and the twentyfold gravity caused Roger's movements to pause slightly. Although the effect on a strong person was limited, it was enough for Roger to gain the upper hand.
Roy's body blurred into several afterimages, and the Frost Snow in his hand stabbed at Roger's vital points from different angles!
"Oh! That's interesting! But not enough!"
Roger did not break free from the constraints of gravity. Instead, relying on his fighting instincts and powerful Haki, he wielded Ace in his hand, seemingly slowly but precisely blocking every attack from Roy.
"Clang! Clang! Clang~"
Sparks flew everywhere!
Even through the gaps in the parry, several slashes Conqueror's Haki Coating could still be unleashed. Roy's Observation Haki, which allowed him to foresee the Future Sight, was unable to detect them. He could only use his Telekinesis to accelerate and dodge, or exert all his strength to defend himself. For a moment, he was in grave danger.
"Kid, your abilities are troublesome, but the difference in Haki presence can't be bridged by such petty tricks!"
Roger laughed loudly, and seizing the opening after Roy dodged, black and red Inazuma flashed again on ' Ace '!
"Damn it! Not again!"
" Mirror Refraction!"
Faced with Roger's " Divine Departure," Roy's mental Telekinesis instantly condensed and compressed the air in front of him, forming an invisible barrier!
Roger's terrifying slash struck the barrier, but instead of crushing it, it was slightly deflected by the distorted force field, grazing Roy's body and blasting him backward, leveling a forest further away!
"Um?!"
"They actually used this method to deflect my attack?"
"Fighting is not a contest of strength, Roger!"
Roy took a breath; that attack had taken a considerable toll on his mental energy.
In the previous contest, Observation Haki was almost completely ineffective. Whether it was probing someone's mind or Future Sight, it was useless against Roger. Armament Haki was also at a disadvantage when it Conqueror's Haki Coating.
Glancing at Shanks in the distance, it seemed his " Observation Haki Killer " technique was learned from Roger.
It's so nice to be under a big tree; it makes me want to join Roger Pirates.
However, he didn't come away empty-handed. Several times, facing attacks Conqueror's Haki Coating, Roy also released his Conqueror's Haki. Although he couldn't concentrate it into a powerful attack, each time he was struck, a bit more of his Conqueror's Haki would gather.
This is also because Roy's mental strength is so great that he was able to detect these subtle changes.
