Rumble!
The entirety of Loguetown shook violently.
Houses and the ground swelled, and immeasurable amounts of rock and earth condensed into colossal lions.
"Lion's Will: Earth Scroll!"
These gigantic lions, carrying shocking mass, thundered down toward the figure on the central rooftop.
The next instant, a black and crimson lightning bolt shot into the sky.
"Fist Impact!"
The rock lion that collided head-on instantly disintegrated. Accompanied by thick Haki lightning, the reversed meteor directly slammed toward the Golden Lion in mid-air.
"Garp!!"
Roaring furiously, the Golden Lion Shiki swooped down. The next moment, his twin swords collided in an impact across the air with Garp's iron fist.
Boom!
It was like a nuclear explosion in the sky. The savage shockwave swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami, leveling whole swaths of previously intact houses.
"Blast it!"
Garp, falling due to the immense force, looked down at the devastation below, his face turning grim.
The battle between the powerful was something this town could simply not withstand!
He had to take the fight to the higher skies!
Meanwhile, the earth lions that were plummeting toward the ground below were suddenly severed by an invisible force, the cuts incredibly smooth.
Clang!
Two blades, both similarly wreathed in black and crimson lightning, struck together fiercely.
The surrounding ground instantly tore open with massive fissures, and everything in their path was sliced apart.
"Hah!"
Rayleigh roared, the blade in his hand moving as fast as the wind.
His opponent, Figarland Garling, Commander of the Holy Knights, was utterly unfazed, calmly parrying every single one of Rayleigh's strikes.
"I'll ask again: Where is the child you picked up, Shanks?"
Garling's voice was frigid and sharp.
"I told you, I don't know what you're talking about!"
The smile on Rayleigh's face didn't fade, but his eyes were full of solemnity.
This man, who was very likely Shanks's biological father, possessed terrifying strength.
Though they seemed evenly matched now, it was only because he hadn't even used his Devil Fruit ability yet. At full power, this man was undoubtedly on the level of Roger or Newgate (Whitebeard)!
"Then I'll just capture you and interrogate you properly!"
The blades clashed again, and a deflected flying slash ripped across the battlefield, coincidentally entering the narrow space where two other monsters were clashing. A jet-black shoe and a sharp umbrella tip attacked from both sides, crushing the flying slash before colliding fiercely with each other.
"Black Leg Zeff, was that title not a joke? I thought you'd given up after Roa chopped off your arm!"
Redfield maintained an exceptionally elegant posture even during combat. His Observation Haki was astonishingly strong, resulting in a fighting style that always precisely targeted the enemy's weak points—even his verbal jabs were the same.
However, Redfield was genuinely surprised this time.
Abandoning his fists for kicks, Zeff's strength had not diminished one bit since their past clash. He was still undeniably worthy of the level of a Marine Admiral!
No Conqueror's Haki, yet his Armament Haki alone was strong enough to contend with Redfield.
He truly was a remarkable man!
"Because,"
Zeff kicked off the air, moving at an incredible speed—no one in the world likely had a higher mastery of Moonwalk than he did—"The thought of scum like you running rampant on the seas makes me eager to crush you bugs with my feet!"
"Then we'll see who crushes whom!"
Redfield was also a speed-based fighter. A single thrust could pierce even a mountain.
Above the battlefield where they clashed, beams of light flew in, all smashed by the gigantic Azure Dragon's tail.
"Ah, am I still unable to shake this monster?"
The man named Borsalino couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
"But thankfully, the reinforcements have finally arrived!"
On the ground below, three figures shot into the air.
"Kaido of the Beasts, your doomsday has arrived!"
A look of interest finally surfaced in the gigantic Azure Dragon's eyes. "Uo-ro-ro-ro-ro! Holy Knights with immortal bodies? Now things are finally getting interesting!"
On another nearby battlefield.
Gale winds and magma raged relentlessly.
Two men were constantly colliding.
But amid the deafening roars...
"Why are you here?"
"I had a feeling something would happen, but I didn't expect the situation to escalate to this uncontrollable point! Loguetown has turned into a second God Valley!"
"It's not a good time for you to leave now that the Holy Knights are here. Let's wait for an opportunity! But don't worry, it doesn't matter even if you're captured."
"Understood!"
Beyond the two men colliding, two other figures were rapidly approaching.
"The Dragon of Rebellion, another damned fellow!"
And next to them:
"Trying to run?"
A tall figure looked at the two men before him with curiosity. "If I let you run, where would I, a Holy Knight, put my face?"
"Be careful, young man! This guy is a Holy Knight!"
The large-headed Emporio Ivankov's expression was solemn. "They are Celestial Dragons above Celestial Dragons! Every one of them is an absolute powerhouse! Moreover, they possess immortality!"
"Immortality?"
The young man with the slicked-back hair frowned, then exclaimed, "But why do I have to fight?! This has nothing to do with me! I just came to watch Roger's execution!"
"Hahaha! What's said is done! Fight, young man!"
Ivankov lifted his left leg, striking a pose similar to a White Crane Spreads Wings. "Though it's only temporary, we are comrades in arms! My name is Emporio Ivankov. Young man, your name?"
"You bastard!"
Crocodile gritted his teeth. "Then remember it! This name is destined to shake the seas! I am Crocodile!"
"Then let's go together, young Crocodile!"
And at almost the exact same moment.
On Roa's side, five colossal beasts were charging directly at him.
However, Roa didn't immediately acknowledge them. Instead, he tilted his head slightly, peering through the gaps between the five monsters at the figure lying quietly on the ground.
"Well, I am a kind soul," Roa sighed.
The markings on the twin horns on his head subtly grew.
Then, the ground suddenly split open with a massive fissure. Roger's corpse dropped into the crack, likely plunging hundreds of meters deep underground.
Hmm. Now he has a burial place.
No need to thank me. Just have Robin repay me later by working like a slave.
Then, Roa finally looked at the Five Elders, who were now practically within arm's reach.
He curled his lip. "You dogs, come all at once."
They didn't need him to tell them; the Five Elders were already attacking together.
Five colossal beasts assailed Roa from five different directions.
The Sandworm burrowed directly underground.
Horse Bone (Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro) circled to the left, his blade wreathed in ice!
Gyuki (Saint Jaygarcia Saturn) attacked from the right, spewing a giant ball of venom!
Itsumade (St. Marcus Mars) flapped its wings, and scorching flames brewed within the monster bird's mouth.
Charging from the front was the massive Pig Head (Saint Topman Warcury), thundering forward like a small mountain. It opened its mouth and roared furiously, the roar, mixed with Conqueror's Haki, transforming into a torrent that crushed everything in its path, heading straight for Roa.
It must be said that anyone facing an assault from five directions would be troubled.
Each of the Five Elders was a formidable opponent; a normal person would struggle greatly against even one.
A true master would be overwhelmed by two or three.
And now, there were five!
Five directions, five attacks!
But.
Roa's smile deepened. "Didn't you just walk right into my trap?"
The markings on the pair of sharp horns on his forehead instantly spread. Simultaneously, black energy, courtesy of the residents of this island, surged toward him.
Then.
"Crack!"
The ice on Horse Bone's blade immediately spread, freezing the entire skeleton centaur solid!
"Whoosh!"
The flames from the monster bird's mouth surged out, then reversed, forming a giant flame vortex that instantly engulfed its colossal body!
"Boom!"
A massive wind blade materialized out of thin air in front of the venom ball spewed by Saturn (Gyuki ), slicing the poison ball open and detonating it. A huge mushroom cloud engulfed the entire giant spider.
"Rumble!"
The ground instantly began to shake violently. A sudden earthquake continuously fractured and displaced the earth. Consequently, the body of the gigantic Sandworm buried deep underground was also ripped and twisted.
Finally.
Roa took a deep breath.
"This is what a roar is like!"
He screamed.
The sound waves condensed into a pillar of white light.
After mixing with the dark-red energy transmitted from the Tiger Soul blade, the enormous light pillar also became dark and heavy!
Hiss!
The air was instantly pierced. The laser-like sound wave beam slammed fiercely into the shockwave roared out by the Pig Head.
There was a brief stalemate, but in the very next second, the dark-red sound wave beam pierced through the shockwave and violently struck the Pig Head's head.
"Ugh!!"
No matter how thick-skinned and tough the Pig Head was, Roa's merciless strike still sent it flying backward. The forehead, which had been directly hit, was instantly torn open and bloody.
Rumbling!
The huge wild boar became a rolling gourd, crushing all the buildings behind it, practically traversing the entire town and carving out a massive path.
"Hahaha! This is the world's highest authority?"
Roa laughed heartily. With a flap of his wings, the fierce wind aided him, and in an instant, he flew to the frozen Horse Bone, Nusjuro.
"Looks like a few stray dogs to me!"
The next moment, the ice shattered, and the centaur swung its sword in fury.
"Mere pirate! How dare you be insolent before a god!"
This time, he dared not let his blade be wreathed in ice.
Roa's ability was too exaggerated; their own attacks only served as a boost for that bastard!
Then.
Clang!!
This was the sound of a huge blade striking something incredibly hard and metallic.
"What!!"
Nusjuro's pupils contracted sharply.
Roa had grabbed his sword with his hand!
This power!
This body strength!
"Dead muscle built in a gym is useless," Roa sneered. "This is what I call power!"
Roa exerted force with his left hand, forcibly swinging the centaur into the air, then slamming it heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
A massive hole was instantly punched into the ground, and thick cracks spread outwards.
"What a weak god," Roa couldn't help but sigh.
Just at that moment, the ground beneath him cracked open, and the gigantic Sandworm burst out, its mouth opening wide like an abyss, intending to swallow Roa whole.
Simultaneously, above him, the giant bird flapped its wings and descended, its sharp talons clawing at Roa.
"Hold still for me!"
That wasn't all.
Saturn, his body having completely recovered from the earlier explosion, glared fiercely at Roa, activating his Immobilization Technique at full power!
While he couldn't completely control Roa, even a moment's delay would be enough!
"Heh."
Roa merely smiled.
Boom!
In the sky, lightning bolts descended like a sudden storm, striking the descending monster bird.
The earth also shook. Two giant volcanoes materialized out of nowhere—one launched Saturn into the air, and the other hurled the Sandworm upward.
However, before Roa could do anything more, Horse Bone, using his extraordinary speed, leaped forward again, his massive blade slicing down at Roa from the air.
Roa simply shifted his body slightly.
His speed was not slow either.
Moreover, he could not only foresee the future but also prevent others from doing so.
These guys didn't seem to have the Future Sight Killer technique.
Easily evading Horse Bone's strike, Roa took the opportunity to rush in. His scarlet blade, covered in black markings and wreathed in various elements, slashed directly toward the centaur's chest.
Nusjuro's pupils contracted.
Observation Haki Future Sight??
There was no time to dodge. He could only hastily raise his fist to meet the attack.
Then.
Slash!
An arm flew into the sky.
The giant centaur was cleaved backward by Roa's single sword strike.
No pressure!
Is this what it means to be as graceful as a swan and as fluid as a dragon?
Siu!
"No recovery?"
Nusjuro, quickly stabilizing himself and getting back up, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
His severed left arm and the not-so-shallow wound on his chest hadn't healed!
Some powerful force is suppressing his immortality!
"Be careful!"
Nusjuro shouted loudly, "His Haki is strong enough to counter our immortality!"
"And this is just countering it?"
Roa examined the centaur more closely.
There was no sign of recovery on the severed left arm or the chest wound, yet this didn't stop him from being full of fighting spirit.
It still only suppresses their regeneration. It looks like I still can't truly kill them?
"Seriously," Roa sighed, "your vitality is more tenacious than a cockroach's."
"You brat!!"
The monster bird roared from the sky, "Don't get too carried away!!"
"Oh?"
Roa chuckled, "If you had tried a little harder at God Valley nine years ago, I wouldn't have the chance to get carried away today, would I?"
"It's your own fault for not trying hard enough. Reflect on that."
"Attack together! Don't give him a moment to breathe!!"
Accompanying a loud rumble, the massive wild boar had already returned to the battlefield.
Its two gigantic, sharp, tusk-like tusks were wreathed in Armament and Conqueror's Haki as it charged at Roa.
"Good!"
Saturn and the Sandworm (St. Shepherd Ju Peter), who had been launched into the air by the volcano, had already returned to the embrace of Mother Earth and charged at Roa simultaneously.
Horse Bone, missing an arm but still fully capable of movement, galloped toward him, and the monster bird Itsumade flapped its wings to join the attack.
Once again, Roa was besieged by the five.
However, this time, their bodies didn't have the elemental attributes that Roa could directly manipulate.
So,
"Let's change the stage!"
Roa spread his arms. "This plaza is now called Roa Plaza!"
Rumble!
The sky instantly filled with dark clouds, and lightning bolts poured down like sudden rain.
On the ground, small volcanoes appeared out of nowhere, spewing volcanic ash and magma like a fireworks display.
In the air, storms raged, and colossal wind blades savagely sliced through everything between the sky and the ground.
Dancing with the storms were flames surging from the magma, instantly filling the entire space!
And it wasn't over. On the land, rocks rapidly collapsed, and then a black point began to appear. A powerful gravitational force began to arbitrarily pull everything around it.
Although the power was far less astonishing than when Roa unleashed his full strength, it was sufficient to pull the Five Elders toward it.
"What is this!!"
Amidst terrified shouts, the Five Elders were instantly engulfed by the disasters.
This was the terror of unlimited elemental power!
