• Roy ordered the fighters to hold the kings in place and switched the allied forces to defense.
• Roy concealed his presence, reached the elder, and used the Dark-Dark Fruit to nullify his power before attacking with Shusui.

• Roy cut off the elder's head with Shusui, and the other eighteen kings spat black blood as their shared bond was disrupted.
• Kaido, Loki, Hawk Eyes, and Shanks kept the eighteen kings occupied as Roy walked toward them.
