Huh?
Looking at Patrick Redfield, who was charging directly at him, Roa was utterly bewildered.
What was the meaning of this?
They'd never even met before!
What was with this anger and killing intent?
Is this guy crazy?!
I was just here to watch the show! Who attacks bystanders directly?
Without us passersby, who'll provide commentary, who'll question, who'll be amazed, who'll provide emotional value?
But at this point, Roa didn't have time to think. Patrick Redfield's speed was terrifying.
The twin blades at his waist instantly unsheathed, black fur spread across his body, and elemental chaos surged from his blades.
The next instant, Roa launched forward.
"Four Quarters Annihilation!"
The twin blades, wreathed in various elements, slammed heavily against an invisible barrier.
The sharp tip of the umbrella was a short, slender blade, but at this moment, this sharp blade was completely unused because the umbrella was wreathed in powerful Conqueror's Haki.
A Haki-infused ranged attack!
Black lightning exploded, mixed with scattering elements. The sea surface was pressed into a huge depression by the expanding shockwave, and the ships ahead, along with the giant snail that carried Roa, were pushed back continuously.
"The Lone Red! Patrick Redfield!"
On top of the giant snail, Dylan's clothes flapped in the air currents from their clash. "Was he hunted here by Golden Lion? What a coincidence!"
"Should we make a move?"
Beside him, King's hand was already on the hilt of his sword at his waist.
"Don't act rashly!"
Dylan said solemnly, "This guy isn't an opponent we should face!"
We'd be instantly killed!
On the Flying Pirates' ship opposite, the pirates, having survived the ordeal, cheered, "Lord Roa!! We revere you!!"
They thought they were all going to die!
But then, a savior suddenly appeared!
In mid-air, the two clashing figures suddenly separated.
Roa flapped his wings to stabilize himself, his eyes fixed on Redfield, who landed heavily on the pirate ship ahead.
"So, what's the meaning of this, Redfield?"
Roa casually rested the crimson Hupō sword on his shoulder. "I don't recall us having any grievances."
If his memory wasn't faulty, this should indeed be their first meeting.
"Roa the Disaster! Why are you playing dumb, you brat?!"
Patrick Redfield was also somewhat astonished.
This brat was indeed impossibly strong.
Even the most clichéd novelist wouldn't create such an unreasonable brat. How old was he?
However, the astonishment in his heart didn't prevent Redfield's face from remaining cold and stern. "Didn't you, you brat, suggest that damned Shiki come looking for trouble with me?!"
"Hmm?"
Roa's eyes suddenly widened.
How do you know that?
Did Uncle Shiki disregard all codes of conduct and tell you about this?
No.
Uncle Shiki wouldn't be that talkative.
A flicker of understanding passed through Roa's eyes. "So that's it. Is it your special Observation Haki that can read minds?"
Observation Haki was a very special type of Haki.
It had to be used with a calm mind; if one lost emotional control, Observation Haki would lose its effectiveness.
And true Observation Haki masters often excelled in different aspects. For example, Rayleigh was good at sensing the strength of auras, Luffy was good at sensing emotions, and Usopp's Observation Haki was like a telescope.
However, there were even more special types of Observation Haki beyond these.
Just like Bullet, a unique Armament Haki user, there were many individuals in the world who awakened special Observation Haki.
The future Queen Otohime's Observation Haki allowed her to empathize with others. Not only could she read others' emotions, but she could even force others to feel the same emotions as her, thus achieving a wondrous brainwashing effect.
Like her, Redfield was one of the possessors of this most special type of Observation Haki.
His Observation Haki could read minds.
It wasn't like the limited Mind Web on Skypiea, which could only barely read instantaneous thoughts, but rather could peek into others' memories!
In the game, Redfield, after reading Luffy's memories, used the transforming leaves of the Bakemono Fruit to create various bosses that Luffy had once fought.
What a cheat-like ability.
Roa couldn't help but sigh.
His Three-Color Haki was unremarkable; not only did it lack any special mechanics, but it didn't even have numerical values like Bullet's.
"You fellow!"
Patrick Redfield was indeed stunned by Roa's words.
His Observation Haki was his greatest reliance; no one apart from himself should know about it!
How did this brat know?
There was no reason at all!
"Since you read that memory, then you should know,"
Roa said somewhat wistfully, "I just said it casually back then. Who knew Uncle Shiki would take it seriously?"
"Less nonsense!"
Redfield's eyes were gloomy.
He naturally knew that Roa wasn't the main reason at all.
Essentially, it was because that bastard Golden Lion, unable to defeat Roger, madly wanted to expand his power.
Roa indeed just said it casually; he naturally didn't know that Golden Lion would take it seriously.
However, if he hadn't said it casually, where would all this trouble come from?
"Brat! No need for more words!"
With a cold shout, Redfield lunged forward again.
Roa sighed helplessly.
What a headache.
Since that's the case, then let's fight.
The elemental chaos on his twin blades instantly surged.
At the same time, flames and lightning covered Roa's body.
Flame-Painted War Body - Five Worlds Annihilation!
With just a flap of his wings, he unleashed a vast expanse of fire and lightning in mid-air.
Roa was like he was flapping a pair of thunder-fire wings that blotted out the sky, his speed no less than Redfield's.
Boom!
The two clashed violently again.
Exploding thunder-fire and gale force winds spread across the sky. The rapidly rising temperature instantly caused the sea below to begin evaporating.
The two separated upon contact, then immediately clashed violently once more.
Both were crimson figures, both astonishingly fast.
Each collision between them made the sea boil, and the spreading shockwaves stirred up gigantic waves.
However, a closer look would reveal that in every collision, Roa flew further.
Very impressive!
Roa flapped his wings and rose, showing no inferiority to monsters like Redfield or Jabba!
While it wasn't true that he alone possessed power comparable to the Roger Pirates or Whitebeard Pirates, as Sengoku exaggerated, he was indeed a rare top-tier powerhouse on the seas.
It's no good. If I don't release my abilities at full power, I'm still a bit short of being able to contend with masters of this caliber.
Patrick Redfield pursued him like a gale, stepping on air. "Don't think of running!"
Then!
Crimson flames suddenly expanded, and a colossal thunder-fire giant, tens of meters tall, stretched across the sky.
Immediately, a gigantic blade, like a divine axe cleaving the heavens, slammed down!
"Foolish!"
Facing this almost world-ending strike, Patrick Redfield's eyes gleamed red. He suddenly shifted direction with a stomp on the air, and the next instant, he had almost pounced on the chest of the flame giant.
"Baby ya!!"
Roa exclaimed.
Observation Haki: Future Sight!
Is this also standard issue?
Why is it only Auntie Linlin who doesn't have it in the future? Is she being isolated?
As Roa's thoughts wandered, Redfield's incredibly sharp umbrella-sword had already stabbed directly towards the flame giant's chest, where Roa's high-gundam cockpit was located.
Stabbing the cockpit directly, what's wrong with you, are you Amuro or something?
The giant's chest instantly burst forth with intense light. Thunder, fire, strong winds, Haki, and blood-qi shockwaves converged into one, and a massive beam of light shot out.
Its name: Chest Particle Cannon!
Ah, that name too is full of a sense of the times.
The scorching light cannon instantly pierced through the sky, but Redfield had already dodged a step ahead, flicking his umbrella-sword, and streaks of enormous crimson slashes directly cleaved towards the flame giant.
"How disgusting!"
Roa unhappily controlled the flame giant to swing its blade and block Redfield's slashes.
If I use the gundam, I can't hit you.
If I don't use the gundam, I can't cut you down.
For the first time, Roa experienced the disgusting aspect of Observation Haki's Future Sight mechanism, especially with an opponent like Patrick Redfield, who was a high-mobility fighter.
I want to learn it too!
Unfortunately, his Observation Haki wasn't strong enough yet.
Then I can only use moves that he can't dodge!
The flame giant instantly dissipated, and Roa flapped his wings and soared.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind suddenly rose!
The airflow instantly became incredibly chaotic, the air velocity so fast it almost had the cutting power of blades.
Redfield's face slightly changed.
The airflow had become too chaotic; Moonwalk was difficult to use!
Since that was the case, he stomped hard with his right foot. While stepping on the air, a Haki shockwave erupted from his foot, forcefully using the recoil to maintain his high mobility.
"Tsk!"
Roa couldn't help but click his tongue. Wasn't that the move Garp used when they first clashed over a year ago?
That's why I say, these taijutsu masters are truly troublesome!
Winds wreathed around his wings, suddenly boosting Roa's speed, instantly widening the distance.
"Rumble!"
Lightning from across the sky suddenly rained down.
"Roar!"
Scorching flames instantly surged like a tsunami.
"Heaven and Earth Transformation!"
No matter how much you predict the future, if there's no space for you to dodge, where can you hide?
This was the limitation of non-ability users!
In an instant, Redfield was swallowed by the thunder and fire.
"Lord Roa!!"
On the pirate ship, which had been pushed further and further away by the aftermath of their battle, the Flying Pirates shouted, "Go, Lord Roa! We already informed Admiral Shiki! He'll be here soon!"
Although Roa was unleashing natural disasters at full power, it was impossible to defeat Redfield just like that.
Within the thunder and flames, streaks of enormous crimson slashes continuously tore through the raging thunder and fire.
Roa's lips curved upwards.
After the battle began here, the snail armada was already approaching.
He took a deep breath, "Redfield! I could fight you for a year!"
Elemental chaos gradually surged violently on his twin blades.
As Roa flung them forward.
A monstrous crimson elemental dragon instantly bared its fangs and claws, charging towards Redfield, who was surrounded by thunder and fire.
This wasn't the end. Roa continuously swung his blades, unleashing five more colossal elemental dragons, hundreds of meters long, in one go!
Its name:
"Five Dragons Annihilation!"
Five colossal beasts made of thunder, gale, scorching flames, Haki, blood-qi, and various other elements attacked Redfield from five different directions.
"Oh!"
On the sea surface not far away, King's eyes lit up.
This is his move!
Boss, he actually made me feel involved too!
Swoosh!!
The raging winds were instantly torn apart by a massive crimson Haki blade. The elemental dragon diving from above was also torn apart.
Patrick Redfield, wreathed in black Haki, rapidly leaped through the air.
He looked up almost incredulously at Roa, who was hovering high in the sky, flapping his wings.
Is this brat's stamina endless?
Who fights like this?
Overwhelming moves, one after another!
Don't true masters calculate their stamina precisely and never waste a single bit when fighting?
For the first time, a feeling called regret arose in Patrick Redfield's heart.
Originally, this brat really just said it casually!
The remaining four elemental dragons almost filled the entire sky, giving Redfield no room to escape. They converged directly.
Boom!!
A colossal sphere of light spanned the sky, even eclipsing the light of the real sun above.
The seawater on the surface violently evaporated, and surging giant waves swallowed the heavens and earth.
However, the next instant, from within the massive sphere of light, a dark figure shot out.
Redfield felt as if his entire skin had been directly scorched. Even his Haki couldn't completely resist Roa's disaster bombardment.
"Hahaha! How is it, Redfield, how do you feel?!"
Roa soared high, giving Redfield no chance to get close to him.
It wasn't a year ago anymore; his mobility had completely caught up!
Endless lightning! All-consuming flames! Air-tearing gales!
A continuous onslaught of three elements assaulted Redfield.
Using ultimate moves as basic attacks, aren't you scared?
Patrick Redfield's face had become extremely grim.
This brat is too troublesome!
Although these moves basically couldn't cause him any severe damage, injuries were continuously accumulating.
Fighting this seemingly endless-stamina brat on the sea was simply too much of a disadvantage!
The Flying Pirates had already contacted Golden Lion; that guy was nearby and should arrive soon with his mobility.
I have to go!
If I don't leave now, I won't be able to leave at all!
Patrick Redfield, who had been hunted by Golden Lion for a long time, had long lost all composure. He immediately plunged headfirst into the sea below.
"Huh?"
Roa raised an eyebrow. "Trying to escape?"
The sea instantly surged, a massive water tornado spiraled into the sky, and streaks of lightning directly struck within the tornado.
Lightning Whirlwind Slash!
"What?!"
Redfield, caught and sent flying by the water tornado, his face changed drastically.
Just like that Golden Lion guy, he can even control the sea?
And there's more!
Patterns of horns spread across Roa's forehead.
Crack!
The surging water tornado instantly transformed into a crystal-clear ice pillar, standing proudly between heaven and earth.
Then a massive wind blade directly cut the ice pillar.
Breaking Sky Ice Slash!
With one umbrella swing, Patrick Redfield shattered the wind blade and landed on the frozen sea surface.
The Lone Red's face was as grim as if he'd eaten excrement.
How could this brat be so troublesome?
How could there be such a monster in the world?
Inexplicably, Redfield suddenly felt a sense of despair.
In two more years, who in the world will be able to contend with this brat?
It was at this moment.
"Gahahahaha! Roa! It's been a year, and you've truly surprised me, brat!"
Unbridled laughter echoed from the sky.
The strong wind rustled his golden hair, and his loose robes billowed.
The king who dominated the skies, Golden Lion, descended from above.
At that, Patrick Redfield's face grew even grimmer.
Now, it's over!
"Yo!"
Roa greeted with a smile, "Uncle Shiki, long time no see."
He arrived so fast.
