"Ugh!!"
Charlotte Linlin was instantly dumbfounded. "He's actually, actually that strong!"
It was like a joke!
That bastard Redfield might be a little weaker than her, but the gap wasn't significant!
The two bastards, Teach and Loki, also possessed astonishing strength and weren't far behind.
While Yamato hadn't reached that level yet, she was stronger than Bonney, and Charlotte Linlin reckoned she couldn't instantly defeat her either.
Yet, all these people combined were completely taken care of by Roa alone, in just a few moves, like chopping vegetables!
How can anyone be this powerful?
Even that woman among the Celestial Dragons doesn't have this level of strength, right?
Awakening?
What kind of awakening is this outrageous?
Good thing I didn't join the fight, or I'd be split in half by a sword by now.
Katakuri wasn't too surprised by this.
After all, when he fought Roa previously, the moment Roa went all out, he was equally defenseless.
This old friend has completely transcended this dimension!
Roa floated in the air, flapping his wings, a mysterious smile on his face.
The current me is indeed astonishingly strong, right?
Uncle Shiki and Brother Kaido combined—I dare you to be scared!
My strength is more than twice that of Redfield and the others.
In a clash between experts, a difference of even a tenth is enough to determine the victor.
A twofold difference means nothing but a crushing overwhelming victory!
Although their combined power is certainly greater than mine, and if they could cooperate perfectly, they might still put up a fight.
But I'm too fast. I hold the absolute advantage in speed, making it easy to defeat them one by one.
Hmm.
Looking at it now, Imu in her possessed state shouldn't be my match, either, right?
That woman couldn't achieve a dominant advantage even against the past me.
I just wonder how I measure up against Imu's true self.
"Alright, let's wrap this up quickly."
Roa looked up.
In the sky not far away, Shiki the Golden Lion was entangled with the winged fierce tiger.
The Flying Lion's expression was extremely grim.
The monster Roa summoned was incredibly difficult to deal with!
What kind of outrageous Awakening is this!
How can such an illogical Awakening exist in this world!
"Okay, Uncle Shiki, it's your turn!"
Accompanied by a laugh, the winged fierce tiger suddenly vanished, and a black shadow descended.
"Roa!!"
Instinctively, Shiki swung his two swords.
Roa grasped his blade with both hands, and a column of black and red Haki shot into the sky from the edge.
He slashed down!
Boom!
The sky shook, and a strong wind howled.
The Golden Lion crashed down!
"What?"
Kaido, who had just bent the giant snake's head with a blow, suddenly looked up, his face slightly changing.
I'm the only one left?
How could he be that fast?
Then, the massive black snake in front of him suddenly dissipated as well.
"Nggh!"
Roa, who was slowly descending in front of him, let out a comfortable hum. "This is the true full-power state now, Brother Kaido. Are you ready?"
"Great Thunder Bagua!!"
The leaping Haki lightning even emitted a dazzling light. The club shot toward Roa like a meteor.
Roa's lips curved upward.
He raised his left hand.
Boom!!
The ground behind Roa was instantly torn apart by the ferocious force. Large chunks of rock shot into the sky like cannonballs, and a widening gully was carved into the earth.
But Roa still stood in place.
His raised left hand had caught Kaido's spiked club, and no matter how much the Haki lightning jumped, it couldn't budge his fingers in the slightest.
"What?"
Kaido's pupils constricted.
How is this possible!
How can the gap be this enormous?!
"Is there anything strange about it? I'm twice as strong as you are, Brother Kaido."
Roa swung his blade down.
Blood flew, and Kaido was sent flying.
"Victory!"
Roa laughed, raising his left fist to the sky.
My clothes are a little dirty.
Wait.
It doesn't look like my clothes were even touched.
Oh, Roa is awesome!
The other executives of the Blackbeard Pirates, who had watched the whole scene unfold, were now completely speechless.
The tall, thin sniper wearing a hat was trembling. "A human can actually be this powerful!"
"Did he really travel directly from twenty-five years ago? Did he really lose twenty-five years of time?"
The man who was originally sickly lying on a horse's back became animated due to the terror in his heart.
"Captain Teach was defeated so easily, it's unimaginable!"
The man with skin as pale as paper was also filled with astonishment. "Even the Golden Lion and Kaido were so effortlessly defeated in front of him."
Forget them, even the well-traveled Dorry and Brogy exchanged glances.
Is he even human?
"Ugh!"
The Golden Lion, who had just been slashed down by Roa, stood up. He frowned, looking down at the long, narrow wound on his chest, where blood had soaked his clothes red.
"That brat! Has the gap actually reached this point?"
He had to go all out just to resist one of Roa's attacks, and even then, he couldn't completely block it.
"Waaah! Ouch ouch ouch!!"
A cry of pain came from not far away.
Teach, who had been slashed out of the air by the huge blade, was left with a massive indentation in his body, a whole section sunk in.
"Boss! You didn't have to hit so hard!"
"I wanted to say, Brother Roa, you were a little too serious."
The dishevelled Yamato crawled out of a huge crater.
She had been fiercely bitten by the giant tiger head, leaving several large teeth marks on her body, piercing her skin and muscle, with blood constantly seeping out.
"It's really too much,"
Redfield, his clothes tattered and his skin stained red with seeping blood, sat cross-legged on the ground, a smile still on his lips. "Completely powerless to resist."
"Hahahaha! Can one really become this strong in a few dozen days? I feel like all my bones are scattered."
Loki, who was slammed into the ground, also struggled to his feet. Several of his ribs were broken, and his left arm was twisted.
However, he was also laughing heartily. "Amazing! Truly worthy of the Boss!"
With this kind of power, dealing with his deadbeat father would be easy!
"You bastard, Roa! It's not over! Again!!"
This was Kaido, rushing back at a gallop.
A deep wound was also slashed across his chest.
"That's enough, Brother Kaido,"
Roa smiled, sheathing his sword as he deactivated his ability. "I already went easy on you."
It was just for fun; there was no need to go all out and seriously wound people.
Roa had held back a little power when delivering the final blow to them.
Of course, besides that, the reason everyone wasn't seriously injured was also because they were genuinely strong.
Uncle Shiki and Brother Kaido were true top-tier fighters. Loki, Teach, and Redfield were also at the standard Yonko Commander level, only slightly inferior to them, and on par with Katakuri.
Even Yamato, Doflamingo, and Capone 'Gang' Bege were exceptional. Yamato was even stronger than Bonney and was already very close to the Yonko level.
Doflamingo's Devil Fruit ability had awakened, and although he hadn't mastered advanced Conqueror's Haki, his Armament Haki was decent. Not counting equipment, he barely surpassed the level of a Calamity.
Even the weakest, Bege, was still firmly at the Calamity level.
"Went easy on me? You brat!!"
Kaido was so angry that his chest wound was spurting blood.
"Right,"
Ignoring Kaido's anger, Roa recalled something and waved a hand at Teach's useless subordinates. "Go fish Doffy and Bege out."
Those two unlucky fellows were knocked directly into the sea by a single slash and were likely still bubbling.
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, the four people who had gathered around Teach as if by fate—Burgess, Doc Q, Patrick Redfield, and Van Augur—hurriedly headed toward the sea.
Even Teach had been cut down screaming; how could they dare harbor any dissatisfaction towards Roa?
"Zehahaha! How was that, Boss!"
Teach covered his chest and walked over. All the previous swagger and arrogance had vanished from his face; he was once again the obedient Teach he was in front of Roa. "Did I not disappoint you?"
"Not bad,"
Roa nodded slightly, then asked with interest, "But Teach, you and Loki can both become stronger, right?"
"Why haven't you eaten a second Devil Fruit yet?"
The smile on Teach's face instantly froze.
How did he know?
Right!
Teach suddenly remembered something. When he first joined the Calamity Company, Boss had Judge give him a physical examination!
Was it then?
"Zehaha!"
Teach instantly returned to normal. "Actually, it's because there's one Devil Fruit I absolutely want to get, and I've been waiting for it!"
At this point, concealment was meaningless.
After all, even if he got that fruit, he still wouldn't be a match for the Boss.
"Wait! What do you mean eat a second Devil Fruit!"
Charlotte Linlin, who overheard Roa's words, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. "Roa, what does that mean?"
"The literal meaning."
Roa shrugged. "Teach has a very special body structure; he can eat an additional Devil Fruit."
"Such a thing exists?"
Even the Golden Lion was stunned by this. He scrutinized Teach carefully. "That bastard Rocks didn't have this ability. Is it a bloodline trait inherited from his mother?"
"Oh?"
Charlotte Linlin also examined Teach, her eyes sparkling. "If it's a bloodline, it can be inherited, right?"
"Woh-loh-loh-loh! Linlin, are you serious?"
Kaido couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Can you still bear children at your age?"
"Don't look down on me, Kaido!"
Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly. "Thanks to Pure Gold, my body is still very young!"
It's true!
Her current physical age was under fifty.
Teach gave an awkward laugh and instinctively moved a little further away from Charlotte Linlin.
If it were the young Charlotte Linlin, it might not be a problem, but the one whose age was stuck near fifty—he'd pass.
Then.
Roa looked up at Loki. "And what about you, Loki? Didn't you get the Devil Fruit passed down through the generations of Elbaf?"
"Don't mention it!"
Loki cursed unhappily. "It's all because of the damn World Government! My bastard father, who was being manipulated, rushed back to Elbaf immediately after that battle and took that Devil Fruit! It's in the World Government's hands now! He only left me this Iron Thunder!"
He showed Roa the gigantic war hammer in his hand.
"I see."
Roa nodded lightly.
It wasn't too surprising.
"Speaking of which,"
Loki's expression turned serious. "Boss! Help me deal with that useless bastard father! I'm sick of his idiotic state!"
"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
Roa nodded readily. "Harald is indeed asking for death."
That guy was practically a traitor.
The moment he stopped resisting Imu, he became one.
"That's great!"
Loki's smile instantly became radiant. "With you taking action, that old fool is absolutely dead!"
Roa couldn't help but stare at him.
Seriously? That happy?
He knew it was because Harald was being controlled by Imu and Loki wanted him to die.
But this was still a little too filial.
Even Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but glance at her own children.
Compared to Loki, maybe they weren't so disobedient after all?
"Alright,"
Roa looked at Teach. "Tell me, what exactly have all of you been doing these past two decades?"
"Allow me to answer that question."
Lightning suddenly descended from the sky.
A massive column of lightning slammed down in front of Roa, and a figure abruptly materialized within the leaping electrical arcs.
The newcomer bowed to Roa. "Boss! Welcome back!"
"Hmm?"
The Golden Lion frowned slightly.
Roa's little lightning brat?
That aura!
It's quite extraordinary.
Not inferior to Linlin's daughter.
"Oh, it's Enel. You've grown up, too, kid."
Roa assessed the person who had suddenly appeared.
He looked to be in his thirties, with a similar appearance to the original. He was bare-chested, wore a white bandana on his head, his long earlobes drooped to his chest, and four golden drums, connected by a gold ring, were embedded in his back.
He looked quite tired, covered in sweat, and his breathing was ragged.
He must have elementalized and flown the entire way.
"Boss, huff—Dylan and the others asked me to meet you first,"
Enel wiped off some sweat, a slight playful tone in his voice. "They are huffing and puffing their way back to the Blue Sea. Please wait a little longer!"
"Oh, returning? So,"
Roa asked with interest, "You all left the Blue Sea?"
"Of course, Boss,"
Enel subconsciously raised a hand to pick his ear, but quickly dropped it, his usual flippancy much reduced.
"After realizing you might not return for a while, Dylan knew we couldn't stay in the Blue Sea for long. He began consolidating our forces then."
"After the government noticed, he led us to completely withdraw from the Blue Sea. We went to Skypiea."
"Oh! Good idea."
Roa wasn't too surprised. "Conquering that place early on truly turned out to be foresight."
"That's right."
Enel put on a troubled expression again. "But even hiding in the White Sea or the White White Sea, some desperate pirates from the Blue Sea would occasionally slip through. To truly have 'peace,' just hiding in the clouds wasn't enough."
"So,"
Roa already had a good guess at this point. "You went to the Moon?"
"Worthy of the Boss! You guessed it right away."
Enel chuckled. "We built a base on the Birkana ruins and officially migrated there eighteen years ago."
"The Moon, you say?"
The Golden Lion was stunned to hear this. "Brat, are you serious?"
"Going to the Moon is a lot simpler than you think, Uncle Shiki,"
Roa said with a smile. "You can get to the Moon with your own ability. We already went once twenty-five years ago."
"That happened?"
Not only the Golden Lion, but everyone else was quite amazed.
After all, leaving this world for an outer planet was truly an overpowered concept to them.
"But the Moon is super boring,"
Loki complained unhappily. "Every day is just training, training, training. That bastard Barllet doesn't give anyone a moment's rest!"
"Then,"
Roa looked back at him. "Why did you all return to the Blue Sea?"
"Because we ran out of resources."
Teach shrugged his shoulders like a bear. "Although Dylan prepared before we left the sea, collecting a lot of resources, acquiring resources became difficult after leaving the Blue Sea, and even more so after moving to the Moon."
"But you were gone for too long, Boss. Even though Judge and the others were extremely frugal, and even delayed the progress of many projects, the resources were depleted five years ago."
Enel glanced at Teach, then curled his lips and said bluntly, "So this guy, Teach, came up with an idea. Some people would temporarily return to the Blue Sea to collect supplies and then transfer them to the Moon via Skypiea."
"Oh, I see,"
Roa looked at Teach. "Was that your idea?"
"Zehahaha! It just so happens that Loki and I both had things we wanted to do."
Teach scratched his head awkwardly. "And we've been working hard, Boss. To transport the supplies without attracting the government's attention, Moriah even deliberately joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"They did send back quite a few resources."
Enel paused, then gave a strange snort. "But the quantity has decreased over the past two years."
"That's not our fault, Boss!"
Teach quickly explained. "Because we've gained notoriety, the World Government is watching us more closely. We couldn't take risks for the sake of safety."
Enel gave him a sidelong glance, then looked at Roa with a zealous expression. "However, since you're back, none of that matters! Dylan and the others are returning to the Blue Sea! Boss, it's time to announce the return of our Calamity Company to the world!"
Only the man before him could lead them to overthrow the World Government and avenge the people of Birka from all those years ago!
Enel was absolutely certain of this.
"How much longer will they need?" Roa asked.
"The entire base is relocating this time, so the speed will be quite a bit slower,"
Enel said firmly. "But, one week at most!"
"One week, huh?"
Roa nodded slightly. "That's enough time. Loki, let's take this time to go to Elbaf first."
"That's great!"
Loki cheered. "You bastard father, I'm coming to kill you!"
What a filial son!
"As for you, Uncle Shiki and the others,"
Roa looked back at his allies. "Gather your forces during this time! After all, after that, it's the real war!"
"How about we take back the New World that belongs to us?"
