One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 277: The Sky Pirates vs. the Roger Pirates

"Hahahahaha, Roger, since you don't want to rule the world, then hand over the secret of the ancient weapon!"

"Since you don't want to rule the world anyway, there's no point in having the secret of the ancient weapon. Why not give it to me and let me rule the world? If you want to do what you like, I will never stop you."

Golden Lion had long guessed that Roger would refuse. What he really cared about was the secret of the ancient weapons. He used his Observation Haki to convey this to Roger, so no one else could hear what Golden Lion said.

He didn't want anyone else to know the secret of ancient weapons.

If other people knew about this and spread the news, both the World Government and the Promise Pirates would become his competitors, and he would have no advantage at all!
"Shi Ji, although I know that ancient weapons exist, I don't have them, I don't know what they are, and I don't know where they are hidden!"

"What's more, I think this world cannot fall into your hands, otherwise, this world will become a mess."

Roger also knew that the matter of the ancient weapons could not be publicized, otherwise it would cause turmoil in the world, so he also replied to the Golden Lion with his Observation Haki.

As he said, he knew about the existence of the ancient weapon, but because Li Yuan took away the historical text that recorded the ancient weapons in advance, Roger did not know that the ancient weapon Pluto was in Wano Country, let alone what Pluto was and how it existed.

He only knew that these two ancient weapons existed in this world and possessed powerful destructive power that could easily destroy an island.

"Roger, you think this world cannot fall into my hands. Will it fall into Li Yuan's hands? Or do you think it is better for this world to continue to be ruled by the World Government?"

Hearing Roger's words, the Golden Lion suddenly became extremely angry. What did he mean by "can't fall into his hands"? Did Roger say that he was not qualified to rule the world?
He, the Golden Lion, is not qualified? Then who is qualified? The Five Elders? Or Li Yuan? Or someone else?

Is this world going to get bad? Isn't this world already in trouble enough? How much worse can it get?

Hearing Roger denying him, the Golden Lion, like denying his Golden Lion's ambition and dream, he was now like a raging lion, his anger swelling to its peak!

"Hahahahahaha, neither you nor Li Yuan are fit to rule the world!"

"Shiji, if you want to fight, just do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I don't have what you want!"

Roger said.

In his opinion, Golden Lion is an ambitious and cruel pirate who is not fit to rule the world.

Although Li Yuan did not show too much ambition, he was also very ambitious and wanted to rule the world. He destroyed many countries in the process of expansion.

Now he has become the most powerful arms dealer in the world, causing the whole world to become chaotic, with wars never stopping everywhere, indirectly causing the deaths of countless people!

So Roger also doesn't want Li Yuan to rule the world!

“Hahahahaha, since you refuse to hand it over, then you and your crew will go to hell with this secret!”

Seeing that the negotiations failed, Golden Lion drew out his double swords, and two-color domineering aura condensed on the blades.

Black lightning burst out from the blade wantonly, bombarding the storm. All the heavy rain and storms nearby were dispersed by the black lightning.

"Shishiwei Senkiriya!"

The golden lion swooped down, slashed with both swords, and a huge cross slash exploded.

At the same time, the turbulent sea surged and rolled up huge waves hundreds of meters high, which instantly turned into a huge lion's head 500 meters high.

The cross slash was in front, and the huge sea lion was behind, the two combined perfectly and rushed towards Roger together.

"Hahahahahaha, you, Shiki, don't have the ability to kill me, Roger!"

Seeing that the golden lion was getting angry, Roger immediately jumped out of the boat. The Ace in his hand instantly turned into a black knife, and the black lightning collided with the lightning emitted by the golden lion.

"God avoids!"

Facing the frontal attack of the Golden Lion, Roger was not afraid at all. He picked up Ace and used his ultimate move to dodge.

The moment the golden lion's slash collided with Ace, the violent aftermath of the collision of the domineering color impacted the surroundings, and black and red lightning gushed out vigorously.

After only a brief stalemate, the golden lion's attack was shattered by Roger, and even the huge sea lion behind it was cut in half by Roger.

However, Roger knew that the Golden Lion was best at long-range attrition warfare, relying on the Float-Float Fruit to consume enemies. There were few people in this world who could outlast the Golden Lion.

Then, Roger took a big step into the air and rushed upwards. The best option was to fight the golden lion in close combat.

"Hahahahaha, Roger, even if you created this natural disaster storm, it still can't change the fact that you will be defeated by me!"

Seeing Roger rushing up, Golden Lion also retreated, holding two swords and rushing down to slash at Roger.

"It is still unknown who will win or lose, Shiki. Blind arrogance is the biggest reason for your defeat. The final winner will definitely be our Roger Pirates!"

When Roger blocked the golden lion's attack, he dodged and slashed at the golden lion's abdomen with a sword.

"Hahahahahahaha, I, the Golden Lion, will never lose. The only ones who will lose are you, the Roger Pirates!"

In the air, the Golden Lion was very agile and easily avoided Roger's attack, while launching a fierce counterattack.

Roger fought with the Golden Lion in the air. Even though he did not have the air advantage, he still fought with the Golden Lion and did not lose.

As Golden Lion and Roger started a battle, the battle between the Flying Pirates and the Roger Pirates broke out immediately.

Reinhardt took the first step. In this catastrophic storm, the ability of his natural air flow fruit was invisibly strengthened a lot.

"Airflow tornado!"

With a wave of his hand, Reinhardt created a huge tornado over 500 meters high, sweeping the sea water and storm within a radius of one kilometer and crashing into the Orl Jackson.

Even if the Orr Jackson was made entirely of Adam tree branches, it would still suffer a fatal blow under such a powerful attack.

"Young people nowadays really have all kinds of powerful devil fruit abilities!"

As Roger's deputy, Rayleigh had long been paying attention to the members under Golden Lion. Reinhardt was Golden Lion's deputy!
"Hell!"

Above Griffin, which had transformed into a black sword, the pitch-black armament domineering aura poured out like a ghost from hell.

With a slash of the sword, it was as if hell had descended from the underworld. The turbulent air tornado was instantly extinguished and turned into invisible air flow and dissipated.

"Young man, don't attack our Orr Jackson at every turn. It is our most precious companion!"

A cold light flashed across Rayleigh's glasses, and he jumped into the air with both feet, slashing at Reinhardt with a knife. "Roger's right hand Rayleigh is really powerful, comparable to the top admirals of the navy!"

Facing Rayleigh's knife, Reinhardt didn't dare to take it. He immediately turned into an invisible airflow and quickly dodged the attack.

His fighting style is very similar to that of the Golden Lion, which is to use his flying ability and flexibility to constantly wear down the enemy.

Even though he cannot defeat Rayleigh now, he can dodge Rayleigh's attacks. In addition, his flight control advantage allows him to hold back Rayleigh, the powerful force of the Roger Pirates, in a short period of time.

"What a cunning young man, just like that fellow Golden Lion!"

Although Rayleigh knew that Reinhardt was just trying to delay him, he had no choice but to let him do so, because if he left Reinhardt alone, the Orl Jackson would be attacked by Reinhardt.

On this vast ocean, the Ole Jackson is the only companion that can carry them on their voyage, and they must protect it!

Harold William, the second-in-command of the Flying Pirates, transformed into a perfect griffin form of a mythical beast species several dozen meters tall, his entire body wrapped in blazing flames, standing out in this natural disaster storm.

"Sun Griffin!!"

As Harold roared, the flames on his body suddenly surged, and a huge ball of flame spurted out of his mouth, transforming into a four-hundred-meter-tall giant flaming griffin that rushed towards the Or Jackson.

The first target of their Flying Pirates' attack was the Ole Jackson of the Roger Pirates. Not only these cadres, but also the artillery of the five pirate ships were constantly bombarding the Ole Jackson.

As long as the Ole Jackson is sunk, the Roger Pirates will lose their foothold on the ocean, and their defeat will not be far away.

"These guys from the Flying Pirates are so sinister!"

Jabba said dissatisfiedly, standing on the bow with a huge axe in his hand, looking at the huge flaming griffin falling from the sky.

"Strike to the sky!"

The moment the giant axe was raised, it turned black, and the strong muscles all over the body bulged. The moment the axe was chopped down, a huge axe blade of more than 500 meters shot up into the sky.

The falling flaming griffin was instantly cut in two by the axe. The two halves of the flaming griffin quickly dissipated in the air like fireworks, without affecting the Or Jackson at all.

Afterwards, Jabba also rushed into the sky with the Moon Step. He knew that if he didn't fly away from the Ole Jackson, the guy in the sky would continue to attack the Ole Jackson. He couldn't guarantee that every attack of his could accurately protect the Ole Jackson.

"Jabba, you are known as Roger's left hand, as famous as Rayleigh. I wonder if you are strong enough!"

Harold smiled as he watched Jabba rushing towards him.

"If it's strong enough, why don't you try it and find out?"

"Strike to the sky!"

Jabba said sarcastically, and at the same time, he gathered power with the giant axe in his hand and chopped it down.

"Hahahahaha, just give it a try!"

"Flame Lion King Claw!"

Harold's huge lion claws turned black and slapped down with billowing flames.

But the power of the giant axe was so enormous that with one blow, Harold's entire griffin body was chopped away hundreds of meters.

"Hahahahaha, you dare to challenge me with such little strength? You're courting death!"

Jabba took advantage of the situation and rushed forward to continue the attack.

But as a griffin, Harold quickly stabilized his body by dual wielding and using the advantage of flying to quickly avoid Jabba's attack.

At this moment, another person rushed over from not far away. It was none other than Aslan Erasti, the number three figure of the Flying Pirates, the user of the parahuman Elimination Fruit!
"Eliminating Fist!!"

With one punch, the strange power of the devil fruit burst out, and the surrounding hurricane, rain, and even the air disappeared!

Jabba immediately held his giant axe horizontally to block on the side, but he was surprised to find that the armament domineering on his giant axe was partially wiped out by the opponent's devil fruit ability. This power was too strange. Once hit in the body, God knows what would happen. This made Jabba immediately alert.

"Roaring flames!"

At the same time, on the other side, Harold shot out a flame ray from his mouth and blasted it towards Jabba who was confronting Aslan.

"If you have the ability, fight one-on-one. What's the point of besieging someone?"

Jabba used Aslan's power to retreat and avoid Harold's fire ray. Looking at Aslan and Harold who were obviously planning to join forces, Jabba roared in dissatisfaction.

"Even if you want to attack, why don't you attack Rayleigh? Why are you attacking me?"

Jabba was already complaining in his mind at this moment, wondering why all the bad luck happened to him.

"defeat him!"

Aslan and Harold had already made plans long ago, which was to besiege Jabba, defeat this guy first, and then help Reinhardt defeat Rayleigh. In that case, Roger's pirate group would naturally be defeated.

The Hikong Pirates have more than 300 people, while the Roger Pirates have only about 70. Even though the crew members of the Roger Pirates are all elites, when facing an enemy with four times their number, they are defeated by the Hikong Pirates.

What's more, they also have to focus on protecting the USS Orr Jackson.

So in terms of top-level combat power, the Roger Pirates are not weaker than the Hiku Pirates, but in terms of bottom-level combat power, the Roger Pirates are suppressed by the Hiku Pirates.

Buggy and Shanks, hiding in the cabin of the Ole Jackson, watched the battle outside through a tiny crack in fear.

Seeing their former companions getting injured in the battle while they were unable to help at all, they felt extremely conflicted and scared. After all, they were just little kids now.

"Hahahahaha, Roger, just admit defeat, or all your crew members will die!"

Golden Lion and Roger were fighting hard in the air, but with an occasional glance of his Observation Haki, he could clearly see the situation on the battlefield below.

"Hey, Shiki, I believe in my crew. My crew will never lose!"

Roger snorted, not affected at all by Shiqi's ridicule.

No matter how big the storm is, the Roger Pirates have survived it, so how could they be defeated by the Flying Pirates!
Seeing that taunting didn't work, Golden Lion stopped talking nonsense and fought Roger with all his might.
