The Oro Jackson landed in a relatively conservative position, not directly entering the battlefield.
The people might be able to withstand it, but the ship couldn't.
Soon, nearly twenty members of the Roger Pirates landed on the shore. As for the pirate ship, it was left to the few interns who were still 'sleeping in' to guard.
Rayleigh and Gaban led the way, with other crew members following behind them, rushing towards the battlefield where Roger was.
Due to the impact of the previous battle's aftershocks, the island's coast had collapsed. Even the current new shore was covered with a spiderweb of cracks.
The land was divided into pieces by ravines, some high, some low, and uneven. Due to the impact of giant waves, the cracked landmasses were still continuously moving up and down.
The crew members leaped across the shattered landmasses at an extremely fast pace.
Each of them was an elite who had experienced numerous battles, big and small, in the New World.
To be able to remain on the Legendary Pirate's ship was, in itself, proof of their strength. This level of environment naturally posed no difficulty for them.
As they advanced, a crew member suddenly noticed a group of figures gathered in a high-ground area deep within the island.
"Huh? Those kids… what's going on?"
"They're probably wandering orphans helped by that Admiral Shirojishi. Heh, this Admiral often does things like this."
"Strange, there are also Marines among that group of kids. Are they hiding a large Marine force? It doesn't look right."
"I'll go take a look."
A figure flashed out of the group, it was the tall Fishman, Sunbell.
Sunbell knew what the other crew members meant. They were worried about the Marine force outside the field secretly launching an attack.
After all, no matter what, that was an Admiral's direct unit, equivalent to his personal guard, and their combat power was not weak.
"Are they here?" Marie was already prepared, with no surprise on her face.
She saw Sunbell turn and run towards them, then raised her hand to signal.
Behind her, a team of elite soldiers stood in formation, and upon receiving the order, they immediately raised their rifles and aimed in unison.
The officers stood around Marie, hands on their weapons, with some officers already releasing Armament Haki, enhancing their fists and weapons.
Amidst the tension, two voices suddenly came from behind.
"Let me join the fight too!"
"I'm very interested in that opponent!"
Crocodile and Mihawk were eager to join from behind, their blood rushing to their faces with excitement.
Hearing this, Marie turned her head, frowned, and scolded, "You aren't even interns, don't cause trouble!"
"Interns?" Crocodile and Mihawk were stunned.
"Good! I'll go apply to Anna-senpai right now!"
Mihawk didn't hesitate, turning directly and running towards the training camp in the far rear.
Crocodile was still a bit reluctant, taking one last look at Sunbell's tall figure rapidly running in the distance, but ultimately turned around and chased after Mihawk.
At this moment, Kenji, who was still hovering above the coast, did not know that the two promising youths he had personally interviewed would soon gain the status of recognized interns by the system.
Furthermore, the system side quest reward for recruiting potential interns was also about to arrive.
However, at this moment, Kenji only glimpsed out of the corner of his eye the fierce battle between Marie leading the elite unit and Sunbell in the distance, then swept his gaze around.
His greater attention was still on Roger below, and the Roger Pirates rushing towards him from further away.
"A bit troublesome…"
Kenji frowned, not worried about himself, but considering how to severely beat up the guys below without destroying the island.
After some careful deliberation, he understood.
"Undamaged is impossible, I can only get some compensation from them."
Kenji's gaze swept over Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban, and the others, making a decision in his heart.
The next moment, a human-shaped Conqueror's Haki glow flashed, and Kenji rapidly descended, bringing down a heavy punch, targeting Roger.
"Hahaha! What terrifying pressure, I must get serious!"
Roger grinned, looking up, and Conqueror's Haki light instantly burst forth from his eyes.
He gripped the hilt of his sword, Ace, tightly, while Conqueror's Haki enveloped his entire body, and a domineering and fierce aura impacted the battlefield inside and out.
This scene greatly surprised the Roger Pirates, who were rapidly approaching from a distance.
"Are they really going all out?!" Gaban's face showed surprise, but his steps didn't falter.
"Yahahaha! When fighting an Admiral, of course, you have to go all out, Gaban-senpai!"
"Opportunities to confront an Admiral up close are rare."
The Roger Pirates were all excited, rapidly advancing against the tide of pressure emanating from the battlefield ahead.
At this moment, First Mate Rayleigh suddenly frowned slightly. He turned his head, and scanned around, his gaze passing over the older crew members and quickly settling on a few 'next-generation' newcomers who had been on the ship for less than five years.
"You guys stay back for now. That battlefield isn't one you can join yet."
"Ahahaha! Are you joking, Rayleigh-san?!"
"Even when we fought other Legendary Pirates before, we never showed fear!"
The next-gen crew members' smiles brimmed with vitality, each gripping their weapons tightly, with Armament Haki already released. They were confident but not arrogant, having prepared themselves early.
As they spoke, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed from the distant battlefield.
The Roger Pirates only managed to see the heavy punch descending from the sky clash with their Captain's sword from a distance, followed by an earth-shattering tremor. They were violently swayed by the rapidly moving, up-and-down landmasses, almost unable to stand steadily, and for a moment, they couldn't even watch the battle.
At this moment, if someone were to observe the battlefield from the distant sky, they would see a doomsday-like scene.
Endless black lightning connected the island to the sky, dull thunder rumbled, shaking the earth, and a violent aura instantly dispersed the clouds above the battlefield, while the intensely bursting Conqueror's Haki light completely dyed the clear blue sky.
At the center of the blazing light, two figures, one above and one below, continuously clashed.
Around them, the torn earth and rocks flew, and the battle's aftershocks swept everything, rushing towards the sky.
In the central area of the battlefield, nothing could withstand the impact of Conqueror's Haki's power.
Kenji and Roger were both enveloped in Conqueror's Haki.
"You can take a hit, kid!" Kenji grinned, applying more force to his right fist to suppress him.
Boom!
The ground beneath Roger's feet instantly shattered, and dense, web-like cracks rapidly spread out.
Just as the battle was at its fiercest, the sound of a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang from Kenji's clothes.
He naturally ignored it. However, the continuous intense battle accidentally connected the Den Den Mushi.
In an instant, Garp's anxious voice came from Kenji's clothes.
"Kenji? Hello?! I received the news, I'm on my way! Hello? Hello?"
"Why aren't you talking? You haven't started fighting the Roger Pirates already, have you?"
Garp's tone grew more agitated, finally almost shouting.
"You must leave Roger to me!"
