One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

At the entrance to the secret passage beneath the steep cliffs of the Red Earth Continent, the figures of the last group of slaves disappeared into the deep passage.

Dragon and Raven stood on either side of the entrance to the secret passage. Tiger clutched his chest; the fish-man's powerful vitality allowed him to remain standing for the time being.

But there was no longer any confusion in his eyes, only a firm belief in the future and a deep gratitude to Roy and the others.

"Captain Roy!"

"The slaves are safe now, let's go!"

However, Roy did not move.

He stood on the open ground outside the secret passage, his back to the passage, using his Observation Haki to sense the direction that the Golden Lion Raiden had retreated in.

Barrett, Hawkeye, and Tesoro also did not retreat, but stood quietly half a step behind him, their sharp eyes looking in the same direction.

"Boss, the main naval force has arrived."

Golden arcs of electricity danced in Tesoro's hands, his eyes showing no fear, only eager excitement.

Hawkeye, holding the Black Blade Night, his sword intent restrained yet seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart at any moment, calmly looked at Roy, awaiting his decision.

Barrett grinned, the ferocious aura of the white tiger orc faintly visible.

"Hey Roy, thinking of pulling off a big heist? I'm itching for a fight!"

Seeing this, Long frowned and instantly understood Roy's intention.

"Roy! Sengoku and Zephyr are leading the team themselves, with Kizaru and Aokiji following behind!"

This is not the time to be reckless! We must evacuate immediately!

Roy slowly turned around, the hem of his black trench coat fluttering gently in the lingering dust.

His gaze swept over the dragon, the raven, and Tiger, finally settling on his three companions.

A calm yet undeniable smile curved at the corners of his lips.

"Dragon, Raven, Tiger, you escort the slaves to Sabaody Archipelago immediately. Rayleigh and Shakky will meet them."

Ensuring their safety was part of our plan, wasn't it?

"And what about you?!" Long asked anxiously.

"I?"

Roy looked towards the pass, where a terrifying aura, a mixture of Buddhist majesty and iron-blooded ferocity, was rolling in like a tsunami, darkening the sky.

"I have just gained some new power and need a whetstone of sufficient weight to test its sharpness."

Roy stared intently at the three men, his gaze sharp and unwavering.

"The Navy Headquarters' top combat power, four admiral-level opponents have gathered..."

Is there a better 'testing ground' than this?

Upon hearing this, even Barrett was slightly taken aback, and then an even more intense fighting spirit erupted in his eyes.

Hawkeye nodded slightly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Tesoro took a deep breath, suppressing his initial shock, and his eyes became fanatical—

Yes, we have just completed the evolution of our bloodline, and it is time to test our results and consolidate our realm through a thrilling and exhilarating battle!

Running away in fear of battle is not the style of the Roy Pirates.

"You're all crazy! You're all crazy!"

Dragon gritted his teeth, but he knew that no one could change Roy's decision.

Moreover, from a strategic point of view, if Roy and his three companions can truly hold off or even severely damage the Navy's top combat force here,

The removal of slaves and the future actions of the revolutionary army will have an immeasurable positive impact.

Dragon gave Roy one last, deep look.

"Take care! We'll be waiting for you on Beehive Island to celebrate your victory!"

Having said that, without further hesitation, he and the crow helped the seriously injured Tiger.

One last look at the four figures standing as firm as rocks.

He turned and disappeared into the secret passage, using his abilities to temporarily seal and hide the entrance.

Almost at the same moment the entrance to the secret passage disappeared, the figures of the Golden Lion and the Red Earl appeared at the pass of the Red Line.

Behind them, golden and blue light followed closely, and the figures of Kizaru and Aokiji appeared, their faces fixed on the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the earth rumbled, and Sengoku, wearing a marshal's coat,

Beside him stood Zephyr, his eyes blazing with fury, his fists covered in black Armament Haki.

Leading a massive, elite naval force, they completely sealed off the area!

"Hehehehe! Roy!"

"The main naval force is here! We should retreat!"

The golden lion approached Roy and his companions and slowly came to a stop, floating above them.

Count Red also stopped beside Roy, brandishing his cane-sword with a slightly puzzled look in his eyes.

"Hehe! I have no intention of leaving just like that!"

Roy looked at the navy in the distance,

"Shiki, Ryder, we'll need your help to hold off the Navy for a while."

After all, the slaves had only gone a short distance, and the navy could catch up with them at any time.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion looked at Roy with a sinister gaze.

"Kid, helping slaves or something?"

"This wasn't part of our plan, Roy!"

"Don't say that! Shiki! You and Ryder will cover for us. If things get bad, you can evacuate on your own."

"Besides, with your abilities, if you wanted to escape, the Navy couldn't possibly catch you!"

The Golden Lion took a deep drag on his cigar and snorted coldly.

Without saying anything more, his figure floated up dozens of meters in the air behind Roy and the other three, hovering quietly.

"If things don't go well, I'll leave first. Also, I've already repaid your favor."

"certainly!"

Count Red gave Roy a deep look before slowly walking towards the back.

"Roy!!!"

Just as Roy finished his discussion, Sengoku's roar exploded like thunder.

A phantom image in the form of a giant Buddha faintly appeared behind him, and terrifying Conqueror's Haki was released without reservation.

It merged with Zephyr's iron-blooded aura and crushed towards Roy and his group of four!

The air groaned under the weight of the burden, and the tiny pebbles on the ground silently turned to dust.

"Shiki, Ryder, Kaido, and Bullet, Mihawk, Gild Tesoro... Good, very good!"

The Warring States period's gaze was as cold as ancient ice, sweeping over the group of people.

"They dared to attack the Holy Land, liberate slaves, and loot treasures. Now they still dare to stay?"

Today, none of you will leave alive!

The Navy will, in the name of justice, utterly annihilate you here!

Zephyr didn't speak, but his furious eyes were fixed on Barrett.

Kizaru tilted his head, his gaze behind his brown sunglasses sweeping back and forth between Mihawk and Roy.

"Oh my gosh, what a terrifying lineup! Captain Roy, it seems you orchestrated this incident again?"

"Who knows!"

Roy shrugged indifferently.

Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold air, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet and ice crystals to begin condensing on the ground.

"...This time, you won't escape again."

Faced with the encirclement and overwhelming pressure of the Navy's four top combat forces, Roy took a deep breath and took a step forward.

With just one step, a vast yet destructive Conqueror's Haki erupted!

Om-!

Dark red arcs of electricity raged wildly, yet they coiled around him as if they were alive.

Solid and calm, yet carrying a violent pressure, it forcefully resisted the combined pressure of Sengoku and Zefa, and even showed a faint tendency to push back!

Roy's gaze swept calmly over Sengoku, Zephyr, Kizaru, and Aokiji. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears:

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Chief Instructor Zephyr, Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Aokiji..."

"This battle is not for breaking through."

Roy slowly drew the black sword, Autumn Water, from his waist. The blade reflected the still-burning flames of Mary Geoise and the gradually brightening dawn, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

"Just to test my... true limits!"

"Gentlemen, please don't hesitate to offer your guidance and serve as a whetstone for my Roy Pirates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his fighting spirit soared to the sky!

Almost at the same moment Roy unleashed his domineering aura and formally declared war, not far behind Roy,

One was unruly and mad, the other elegant and composed, both erupting at the same time!

Shiki the Golden Lion, hovering high in the air on the left side of the battlefield, stood atop floating rocks, laughing arrogantly.

"Hahaha! You little brats from the navy, trying to gang up on me? Did you even ask me first?!"

Earl Redfield, the Red Earl, was now standing on a section of broken wall to the right, his deep red suit spotless.

With a light tap of his cane, his red eyes swept over the CP0 remnants and the Knights of God attempting to approach from the perimeter.

"Today's battle is their stage. All irrelevant personnel, step back."

The highest clouds suddenly parted, revealing Kaido's ferocious dragon head in his blue dragon form.

Its eyes were crimson, its breath was gathering in its mouth, and its voice boomed like thunder.

"Hehehehe! Sengoku! Zephyr! You want to mess with my allies? You'd better ask my spiked club for permission first!"

The three legendary powerhouses from the old era, though they did not directly join Roy's group of four,

However, by forming a triangular shape, they firmly occupied three key positions on the periphery of the battlefield, creating an invisible deterrent circle.

Their auras were firmly locked onto the CP0 chief, the remnants of the Knights of God, and the naval vice admiral-level troops.

Any attempt to disrupt the central battle, or to ambush or gang up on Roy and his companions,

They will all face their thunderous strikes!

The situation instantly changed to four people: Roy, Barrett, Hawkeye, and Tesoro, with three legends providing support.

The ultimate showdown between the Fleet Admiral, a former Admiral, and two current Admirals of the Navy Headquarters!

Above the Holy Land Mary Geoise, several streams of Conqueror's Haki, arguably the most powerful in the world, clashed, intertwined, and tore at each other, distorting the air and creating visible ripples.

The thick clouds were completely torn apart, revealing the crimson light of the rising sun behind them, casting a somber and tragic glow upon the battlefield that was about to turn into a living hell.

The world government's highest fighting force and the core of the fastest-rising overlord in the new world stand atop this Red Line continent.

On the edge of the holy land, a battle destined to shake the entire world unfolded—a battle of epic proportions!
