At the same time,

The battle has also fully commenced in other parts of Beehive Island!

Outside the palace, Hawkeye faced "Scorpion" Thatch and dozens of pirates alone.

Sachi has entered a semi-beast form—his lower body has transformed into a massive scorpion tail.

Its hands transformed into pincers, and its entire body was covered in a hard shell.

"Just you alone? You're really underestimating me!"

Sachi sneered, and his scorpion tail suddenly lashed out at Hawkeye!

Hawkeye didn't even draw his sword; he simply dodged to the side and then casually swung his hand—

brush!

An invisible slash swept past, and Sachi's scorpion tail was severed at the root!

"What?!"

Sachi screamed in pain, and before he could react, the second strike had already arrived!

This time, it was his left clamp.

Then comes the right clamp.

Hawkeye severed Sachi's limbs one by one, as if pruning tree branches, before finally piercing his heart with a single blow.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

The surrounding pirates were all terrified and stood frozen in place, too scared to move.

Hawkeye glanced at them:

"Surrender, or die."

Thump, thump...

The pirates all knelt down on the ground.

On the east side of the palace, Tesoro faced off against "Iron Wall" Barton.

Barton was a burly, bald man whose entire body was covered in jet-black Armament Haki, making him truly like an iron wall.

"Lightning? Ridiculous!"

Barton, enduring Tezzolo's lightning strike, strode forward.

"I've trained my Armament Haki for twenty years! Your lightning has no effect on me!"

Tezzolo laughed:

"Really? Then try this—"

He clasped his hands together, and golden arcs of electricity leaped wildly!

"Golden Thunder Spear, Billion Volts!"

A golden spear, entirely formed from lightning, appeared in his hand.

The surface of the spear pulsed with destructive energy!

Patton's expression finally changed.

He sensed a deadly threat from that thunder spear!

"go!"

Tesoro hurled his thunder spear!

Barton roared, unleashing his Armament Haki to its fullest extent, and punched out with both fists!

boom--!!!

The lightning spear collided with the fist, unleashing a blinding light!

When the light faded, Patton lay on the ground, his body charred black.

Although still alive, it has completely lost its fighting ability.

"Armament Haki is good, but not enough."

Tesoro clapped his hands and looked at the other pirates.

"Next?"

On the west side of the palace, Crocodile encountered "Phantom" Lina.

This was a woman with long purple hair and a bewitching face, who was smiling at Crocodile at that moment.

"Hey handsome, want to play with me for a bit?"

Her eyes suddenly turned into vortexes, and Crocodile felt dizzy.

Illusion Fruit, activate!

Crocodile was filled with countless illusions—money, power, beautiful women… everything he desired was right before his eyes.

But he just gave a cold laugh:

"You think you can fool me with an illusion of this level?"

His Sand-Sand Fruit power activated, turning his body into quicksand, which then reformed.

In this process, the influence of the illusion was completely dispelled!

"What?!"

Lina's expression changed drastically, and she turned to run away.

But Crocodile is faster.

"Sand Blade Modified!"

As the sand blade, covered in Armament Haki, slashed past, Lina's body froze.

A thin line of blood appeared on her neck, and then she slowly collapsed.

"boring."

Crocodile shook the blood off his sand blade and looked in another direction.

The battle continues.

In the square, the battle between Roy and Wang Zhi had reached a fever pitch.

Wang Zhi's strength was indeed terrifying; each punch, amplified by the Power-Power Fruit, felt like a meteorite falling.

The square was riddled with holes.

But Roy's Nen-Power Fruit is even more bizarre.

He can not only use telekinesis to defend and attack, but also interfere with Wang Zhi's movements.

Altering the trajectory of attacks, or even creating illusions.

"Damn brat! You'd better fight me head-on!"

Wang Zhi roared and punched Roy.

But just as the punch was about to hit, its trajectory suddenly and strangely changed, grazing Roy's body and missing its mark.

"The Power-Power Fruit amplifies strength, not speed or accuracy."

Roy said calmly, "The Black Blade Autumn Water has already struck!"

Wang Zhi hurriedly parried, but the angle of the knife was so tricky that it still left a wound on his shoulder.

"Aaaaah! I'm going to kill you!"

Wang Zhi went completely mad, his muscles swelled to their limit, and his veins bulged like a writhing dragon!

"Power-Power Fruit - Maximum Power - 100x Amplification!!!"

A terrifying aura erupted from Wang Zhi, causing the surrounding ground to crack and the air to tremble!

This is his trump card ability, a hundredfold increase in strength, but the price is that he will be weakened afterward.

"Go to hell!!!"

Wang Zhi unleashed both fists simultaneously, and this time, even space itself began to distort!

Roy's expression turned serious.

This blow cannot be met head-on.

Roy took a deep breath and pointed forward with his left hand!

"Psychic Power: Absolute Territory!"

An invisible force field unfolded around him, completely controlling the space within a ten-meter radius!

When Wang Zhi's fist entered this area, its speed decreased sharply, as if it had sunk into a quagmire!

"What?!"

Wang Zhi was shocked.

He felt his fist being pulled and blocked by countless invisible hands, and every inch forward required a tremendous amount of strength!

"It's over, Wang Zhi."

Roy's voice came from all directions.

The next second, thirty-six silver threads emerged from the void and bound Wang Zhi tightly!

"Break it—!!!"

Wang Zhi roared, trying to break free.

But Roy won't give him a chance.

With his left hand, he slashed across the blade of the Autumn Water Blade.

"Command - Sharpness!!"

With a flash of light, the Black Blade Autumn Water transformed into a streak of black light, piercing straight for Wang Zhi's heart!

Pfft—!

The blade pierced through the heart and emerged from behind.

Wang Zhi froze.

He looked down at the knife in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"I...I am...Wang Zhi..."

"A...member of the Rocks Pirates..."

"How could I... lose to... a brat..."

His voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely.

Wang Zhi, a user of the Power-Power Fruit and a former executive of the Rocks Pirates, perished here.

Roy slowly drew his sword, and Wang Zhi's body crashed to the ground.

The battle in the square had basically ended.

Barrett, Hawkeye, Tesoro, and Crocodile all defeated their respective opponents.

They are cleaning up the remaining pirates.

Cyrus, Xiong, and others also completed the surrounding clearing and controlled the port and major facilities.

Stella reported via communicator:

"Captain, the main resistance force on Beehive Island has been eliminated."

Moria and the CP five have successfully taken control of the underground vault and are currently counting the treasure.

The civilian areas were largely unaffected, and residents remained calm.

Roy nodded, looking at Wang Zhi struggling on the ground, and felt a pang of emotion.

The Power-Power Fruit is indeed powerful, with its simple and brutal power amplification making it almost impossible to counter.

However, Wang Zhi relied too much on the fruit's power and neglected other aspects of his training.

If his Observation Haki were stronger and his physical skills were more refined, the outcome of the battle might have been completely different.

"Is this the end for the powerful of the old era...?"

Roy muttered to himself.

He raised his head and looked eastward—where the sun was slowly rising.

A new day begins.

Beehive Island has welcomed a new owner.

"Pass down the order."

Roy sheathed his black knife, his voice echoing throughout the entire square.

"From today onwards, Beehive Island belongs to the Roy Pirates."

Those who surrender will not be killed; those who resist will be killed without exception.

Protect civilians and maintain order.

We will establish our new era here!

"yes--!!!"

A deafening response echoed throughout Beehive Island.

Thus, the Roy Pirates established their first base in the New World.

And all of this is just the beginning.
