Nami:"Look! They are calling us the Fifth Yonko!"
Nami says excitedly, which the rest of the crew perk up to, and surround the newspaper, trying to see what it shows.
Lucy:"Woah! Look at Roya, he's clashing that big creat-"
Zora:"Lucy you idiot! That's Kaido! The captain of the people who we had beaten!"
Lucy:"Ohhh, them? They were too easy to be a Yonko crew, they are even weaker than Shank's crew."
Issha:"It's because that isn't the full Beast Pirates, most of them were in their base and the only ones who were powerful were Kaido and King."
Kuina:"And Lawe beat King, so I guess if we had Lami go to Roya and Issha, it would have been more easier, right?"
Nojiko:"Wait, where is Roya? Isn't this supposed to be a chance for a celebration?"
Usoppe:"He said he went to train in that simulation room."
Buggie:"Alright, when he comes back, let's surprise him!"
Simulation Room
'After that near loss against Kaido, I really need to step up my game.'
'Not only have I not focused enough on my MBA technique at all, but I haven't also used the Ten Shadows in a proper battle.'
'But I think that's good for now, if I reveal even more powers to people in the outside world, like the Marines, then I'm finished.'
'The good thing was that when I slightly showed electricity in my clash against Kaido, she most likely isn't going to tell anyone.'
'Why? It's because she's a Yonko, and from her behaviour and my past life, she has a lot of pride and wouldn't try to sell me out to the Marines and World Government, which is good.'
'Anyway, I need to try to improve my other abilities, which means I need to go against someone who is relative to those abilities.'
'First, I'll try out MBA on Kizaru, then I'll use the Ten Shadows on Kaido, just to see how I will perform.'
Roya proceeds to use a menu-type screen to find Kizaru's image, and clicks on it.
This brings him to an artificially created landscape, identical to his last battle, which was in Loguetown.
"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
Roya proceeds to block the attack, and recognises this scenario as the same as real life.
Roya activates MBA, causing electricity to start spreading around his body, and turns himself into electricity.
"Huh, two devil frui-"
Roya proceeds to try to hit Kizaru, but she dodges it and hits him again, sending him away.
'Jeez, the only way I know to evolve this is that technique release Kashimo showed, and I don't even know how to successfully upgrade it to that.'
Roya proceeds to try to match her speed, but even with Future Sight he's struggling, causing him to tank many attacks from Kizaru.
Roya tries to send out electric discharge, but Kizaru easily dodges it completely, which decimates the surroundings behind her.
"My oh my, that attack would have surely damaged me, but I guess even electricity can't compare to light."
'So fucking annoying, thank goodness I already experienced meeting her.'
Roya proceeds to start producing a storm in the sky, helping him have an advantage in terrain and weather, while Kizaru continues to land hits.
After the finalisation of completely covering the sky, he finally summons another weapon that he got from this very technique, the Nyoi Staff.
It has the ability to act like a lightning rod, very useful to use to attract lightning and in close quarters.
"Woah, do you have another devil fruit? Quite surprising, but you still struggle to contend with me."
Roya proceeds to close the distance and attack once again, which Kizaru decides to do the same, causing the battlefield to become a mix of light and electricity.
Due to Kizaru being unable to keep up her light form when changing directions, has allowed Roya to be able to hit her, causing quite significant damage.
Kizaru then proceeds to continue using her speed to her advantage, while Roya starts to use his electricity to wrap around his body, causing Kizaru to injure herself when she gets too close.
'Now, the only problem is her attacks can also come from a distance, which means I need to either come close to her in time, or be able to contend with her from afar.'
Kizaru flies away, and starts to try to use laser beams to attack Roya, who dodges them and sends back electrical beams, which, of course, are dodged as well.
This continues for quite some time until Roya decides to send thunder strikes towards Kizaru, who now has to dodge both Roya's beams and the sky's beams, causing her to become serious.
"Yasakani no Magatama."
Roya proceeds to try to dodge most of the beams, with many still hitting him and causing lots of damage overall, weakening him quite a bit.
After the barrage of light beams, Kizaru decides to kick Roya once again, but now with the use of Advanced Armament Haki, coupled with her Advanced Observation Haki.
Kizaru blitzses Roya, causing significant damage towards Roya, and sending him into the ground.
"Ama no Murakumo."
Kizaru tries to put Roya out of the fight, but fails to properly end it, only being able to stab him in the kidney region.
She retreats immediately, and continues to send light beams toward Roya to slow him down, annoying Roya due to the obvious disadvantage in speed, even in his electricity form.
After awhile of a one-sided beating, Kizaru finally beheads Roya, and ends the simulation, not surprising him at all.
[You have not claimed your reward for holding your own against the Yonko Kaido]
'....Oh, is it the same as the last two rewards I received?'
[Yes]
'Give me construction then.'
After the necessary preparation of implementing the technique construction, Roya now has his 4th technique under his arsenal, only requiring one more, plus the partial mastering of them all, to be able to use all techniques at the same time.
Roya proceeds to pick Kaido, which sends him back to the automated region of the outskirts of the Ilisia Kingdom.
"Bolo Breath!"
Roya proceeds to activate assimilation of Nue and Round Deer, appearing as a Zoan User, and dodges the blast while flying up to Kaido's dragon form.
"A Zoan User? I never expected you to have another devil fruit, but I guess that will make this battle more fun."
Roya lands on Kaido, and assimilates Tiger Funeral to increase his overall physical capabilities.
Roya proceeds to land multiple hits on Kaido, which damages her, but not severely.
Kaido starts to move erratically, shaking off Roya, who proceeds to continue attacking Kaido in the air.
Kaido finally decides to turn back into her human form, whilst Roya lands back onto the ground and takes of Nue's wings.
Kaido proceeds to release her Conquerer's Haki, which Roya is able to tank with mid difficulty, slightly impressing Kaido.
She proceeds to take Roya head on, which Roya does as well, assimiltaing both Nue's lightning and Divine Dog's physical capabilities.
Kaido tries to hit Roya, but he dodges and hits her stomach, damaging her slightly, but is easily shrugged off.
Kaido sends him flying, and chases after him.
Roya starts to charge up his electricity around his body and attacks Kaido at the same time as she does, with the addition of Haki, sending them both flying.
Roya gets back up, and proceeds to dash towards Kaido, who suddenly turns into her Hybrid form, planning to directly end Roya immediately.
"Raimei Hakke!!!"
Roya tries to block fully in time, but gets sent flying into the sky, which Kaido takes advantage of and proceeds to fully finish him off.
"Kōsanze Ragunaraku!!!"
Roya, completely off-guard, takes the full attack of the hit, getting completely crushed by the attack, and ending the simulation.
'Well....what did I really expect from that.'
