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

Several seemingly invincible shockwaves from the Warring States period were largely neutralized by this layer of flames.

The actual damage dealt to Roy was greatly reduced.

Roy's recovery ability is also astonishing.

Occasionally, being grazed by the edge of the Buddha's palm or injured by the shockwave often results in death within a few breaths.

The wound began to stop bleeding and heal, although not as visibly abnormal as Barrett's.

But it far surpasses ordinary people, and even surpasses most Zoan-type ability users!

"The 'Divine Fire' of the Lunaria race... the physique of the Oni race... and the power foundation of the Bakania race... that bastard Gracia actually succeeded!"

And it's all so perfectly integrated into one person!

Sengoku roared inwardly, his eyes icy cold.

The qualities Roy is displaying right now are clearly the signature abilities of those legendary races!

The mystery of bloodlines that the World Government has been secretly pursuing and researching for many years has been mastered and applied to such an extent by the Roy Pirates!

This terrified Sengoku even more than Roy's individual strength.

This means that the top combat power of the Roy Pirates may be about to experience a qualitative leap!

Roy must be nipped in the bud here, their technology seized, or at least their core severely damaged to slow their growth!

"We must finish this quickly!"

A fierce glint flashed in Zhan Guo's eyes, and he held nothing back any longer.

"The Profound Meaning of Buddha: The Palm of Vairocana Buddha!"

Sengoku clasped his hands together, and endless Buddhist light and Conqueror's Haki converged wildly in his palms.

A terrifying pressure that made the world lose its color descended!

The palm strike covered an extremely large area, sealing off all of Roy's escape routes. It was like a golden sun, intent on completely suppressing and purifying him!

Faced with this unavoidable, seemingly divine, deadly attack, Roy finally stopped his high-speed movement.

He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

"Are we getting serious now?!"

Om-!

Roy's body seemed to have expanded slightly, with more perfect and smooth muscle lines, exuding an explosive sense of power.

Beneath the skin, faint bluish-black vein patterns emerge, a testament to the formidable vitality of the demon race.

The bones emitted a slight popping sound, as if undergoing final adjustments and reinforcement.

An indescribable aura, a mixture of holiness, savagery, dominance, and pure life evolution, erupted from his body!

This aura was so strong that it even briefly diluted the spiritual pressure brought by the Great Sun Tathagata Palm of the Warring States Period!

Roy opened his eyes.

Deep within those black eyes, it seemed as if golden flames were burning.

Calm, yet carrying an indifference that overlooks all living beings and absolute confidence in one's own path.

With a swift stroke of his left hand along the edge of the Autumn Water Blade,

"Command - Sharpness!"

"This is my true form... Bloodline fusion, complete liberation."

He murmured to himself, his voice not loud, but it echoed clearly across the battlefield.

There was no dodging, no blocking.

He gripped the black sword Qiushui tightly with both hands, pouring all the power in his body into the blade!

The Black Blade Autumn Water emitted a cheerful yet deep tremor, its blade turning completely black, and ripples spread through the space around it.

It seemed to be able to devour even space itself, and a wisp of blazing golden flame flowed along the edge of the blade.

Roy took a step forward, and the ground exploded with a deafening roar.

He swung his sword, slashing upwards against the golden Buddha's palm that was pressing down like a sun!

This strike has no name; it is simply the condensation and explosion of all his power and will at this moment!

"cut!"

The blade flashed, as black as night, yet carried a glimmer of dawn's fiery gold.

Like the first ray of dawn piercing through eternal darkness, it goes against the current to meet the golden sun of Buddha that suppresses everything!

laugh--! ! !

The moment the blade touched the Buddha's palm, time and sound seemed to be swallowed up.

There was only a faint yet incredibly clear sound, as if something was being sliced ​​open at its most essential level.

Then, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget—

That imposing, all-encompassing golden Buddha palm sun was actually sliced ​​straight through by that jet-black blade of light tinged with blazing gold!

It's like a hot knife slicing through butter, so smooth and effortless!

Golden Buddhist light, solidified domineering aura, and terrifying energy—all these clashed before this strike that concentrated all of Roy's evolved power.

Like a fleeting bubble, it was split in two, collapsing and vanishing to both sides!

The blade's momentum continued unabated; even after slicing through the Buddha's palm-shaped sun, its force remained undiminished.

It continued upwards, striking the enormous Buddha body of the Warring States period!

Click—!

Like the sound of shattering glass, the majestic and sacred phantom of the Buddha rang out.

A clear crack appeared on his chest and quickly spread out!

"puff--!!!"

As if struck by lightning, Zhan Guo coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his life force instantly vanished.

He staggered back several steps, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground.

His face was deathly pale, and a gruesome wound ran diagonally from his shoulder to his abdomen, clearly visible on his chest.

The wound was so deep that bone was visible, and golden Buddhist light mingled with fresh blood, continuously gushing out.

No matter how much he channeled his domineering energy, he couldn't heal immediately!

On that wound, Roy's psychic power was constantly eroding his life force!

One strike, shattering the ultimate technique, injuring the marshal, and destroying the Buddha statue!

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence!

Whether it's Zeffa, who is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Barrett and is already at a disadvantage,

Or perhaps it was Kizaru, who was forced into a perilous situation by Hawkeye and sustained a shoulder injury.

Or perhaps it's Aokiji preparing to unleash his ultimate trump card in his duel with Tesoro.

Even the Golden Lion, Red Earl, Kaido, and all the Marines and CP0 members who were providing support on the perimeter,

They were all dumbfounded, staring at the scene in disbelief!

Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha was actually severely injured by Roy in a direct confrontation?!

"No...it's impossible..." Zefa's eyes widened in disbelief, he could hardly believe his eyes.

"What a joke..." Kizaru's lips twitched, and even his usual lazy tone disappeared.

After unleashing that earth-shattering strike, Roy's blazing golden flames slowly subsided.

His breath returned to normal from its peak, and he was slightly out of breath with sweat on his forehead.

Clearly, that attack had taken a huge toll on him.

But he stood there with his sword, his posture still upright, his gaze calm as he looked at the heavily wounded Sengoku, and slowly sheathed his sword.

"It seems this whetstone... is hard enough."

He spoke calmly, his voice carrying across the battlefield.

"I am very satisfied with the test results."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, you flatter me."

The words, though seemingly innocuous, struck like the loudest slaps across the faces of all the navy personnel.

It also struck the seemingly indestructible authority of the World Government!

Roy, this young pirate, with the power of a single sword strike, proclaimed to the entire world—the true emperor of the New World has arrived!

And the source of his power, his body formed from fused bloodlines, sent chills down the spines of everyone who knew about it...

Uncontrollable greed!

Sengoku's injury was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the navy's last hope of annihilating Roy and his men there.

At this moment, the tide of battle was fundamentally reversed!
