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

The Flower Capital, the residence of Kurozumi Orochi.

The luxurious hall was brightly lit, and the CP0 chief sat in the main seat, his eyes behind the mask as cold as an abyss.

Below, a CP0 elite is kneeling on one knee, reporting the latest intelligence.

"...The mine was attacked; preliminary assessment indicates that it was led by 'Thor' Tesoro of the Roy Pirates."

Accompanying them were Kaido's daughter, Yamato, and approximately five hundred enhanced soldiers.

"Vice Admirals Momonga, Onigumo, and Doberman have joined the battle, and Lord 'Oni Mask' is currently fighting Tesoro."

"The battle is currently at a stalemate, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

The CP0 chief's brows furrowed deeply.

Mine —

That is the core interest of the World Government's cooperation with Orochi, the lifeline of Seastone resources.

If the mine falls, the gains of this Wano Country operation will be greatly diminished.

He couldn't bear the wrath of the Five Elders.

"Pass on my order—"

The CP0 chief stood up, his voice as cold as iron.

"First, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, depart immediately to aid the mine."

"Tell 'Ghost Face' to defend the mine at all costs."

"yes!"

Six CP0 elites stood up simultaneously, accepted their orders, and left.

Their figures vanished like ghosts into the night in an instant.

The CP0 chief sat back in his seat, looking out the window toward the mine.

There, lightning flashed and a faint rumbling sound could be heard.

The CP0 chief took a deep breath, suppressing his unease.

Since the main force of the Roy Pirates is at the mine, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Six CP0 elites, plus "Ghostface" and three lieutenant generals, were enough to hold off Tesoro and his five hundred soldiers.

As for Roy himself...

The CP0 chief snorted coldly.

According to intelligence, Roy should still be on Onigashima, discussing countermeasures with Kaido.

Even if he comes, it will take time.

This period of time was enough for the battle at the mine to come to a conclusion.

But what he didn't know was—

The moment the six CP0 elites left the mansion, an invisible force of thought had already silently locked onto them.

In the night sky, Roy floated among the clouds, his black trench coat fluttering in the night wind.

His eyes were slightly closed, and the power of his Nen-Power Fruit was fully unleashed.

The six auras were as clear as a beacon in the darkness to him.

They were speeding toward the mine at an extremely fast pace.

The body techniques of Moonwalk, Shave, and Six Styles are used alternately, moving as fast as six black shadows darting through the night sky.

Roy opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

Want to provide assistance to the mine?

Did you ask me?

In the next instant, Roy's figure disappeared silently into the clouds.

Six CP0 elites sped off.

The leader, codenamed "Silver Owl," is the strongest among the six, with strength approaching that of a general candidate.

His shaving technique has been perfected to the extreme; with each step, he can instantly traverse hundreds of meters, so fast that even his afterimage is not visible.

"Speed ​​up!"

Silver Owl hissed.

"The situation at the mine is urgent; we must get there as soon as possible!"

"yes!"

The five people behind him responded in unison, and their speed increased again.

The night wind howled, and six dark figures streaked across the night sky like shooting stars.

They crossed mountains and rivers, and the outline of the mine ahead was already faintly visible.

However, at this time,

Silver Owl's body suddenly sank!

An invisible, immense force, like a mountain weighing tens of thousands of tons, crashed down from all directions!

"What?!"

He cried out in alarm, lost control of his body, and plummeted rapidly from the sky!

The other five people were hit in the same way. Amidst terrified screams, the six of them crashed onto the ground below like dumplings being dropped into a pot!

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

Six muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously, and the ground was smashed into six deep craters several meters in diameter, with smoke and dust billowing everywhere!

"Enemy attack!!"

Silver Owl roared, struggling to stand up, but the invisible pressure still pressed down on him relentlessly.

Make him unable to move!

He strained to activate his Armament Haki, attempting to resist this strange pressure.

But he could only barely lift his head and look ahead.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a black figure slowly approached.

A black trench coat, short blond hair, and black eyes that seemed to hold an endless abyss.

Roy.

"Heavenly Path... Roy!"

Silver Owl's pupils contracted sharply, and a chill ran through his heart!

Shouldn't he be on Ghost Island?!

How did I end up here!

Roy didn't answer, he just watched them quietly.

That gaze was like looking down at an ant.

"asshole!"

Another CP0 elite roared, raising his right hand with all his might.

Armament Haki gathered at his fingertips, and he pointed sharply in Roy's direction!

"Flying Finger Gun - Pierce!"

A sharp gust of wind shot out, aiming straight for Roy's brow!

This is his ultimate move, a strike that gathers all his strength and is enough to pierce through steel!

Faced with such a fierce attack, Roy didn't even look at it. A red light flashed in his eyes, and he simply tilted his head slightly.

The wind brushed past his cheek and slammed into the mountainside behind him, blasting a crater several meters in diameter.

"What?!"

The CP0 elite stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

His all-out attack was dodged so easily?

"Is that all you've got?"

Roy spoke softly, his voice as calm as if he were discussing the weather.

"The elites of CP0 are nothing special."

As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand gripped the black sword Qiushui at his waist.

Silver Owl's pupils constricted sharply, and it roared with all its might.

"Attack together! Don't give him a chance!"

The six of them unleashed their power simultaneously, their Armament Haki surging wildly, enveloping their entire bodies, as they tried to break free from the invisible psychic restraint!

However, the pressure was simply too great.

So large that even with all their might, they could only barely lift their arms, and couldn't even stand up!

"Psychic Power - Heavy Pressure"

Roy uttered three words softly and pressed his right hand down slightly.

boom--!!!

The six people felt the pressure on them increase several times in an instant!

The ground collapsed again, and the six people were embedded deep into the pit, their bones creaking under the weight!

"ah--!!!"

Amidst screams, some people coughed up blood, while others had their eyes rolled back and were on the verge of fainting!

Silver Owl gritted his teeth and, with all his might, raised his head to look at Roy.

His eyes were filled with horror and resentment.

Is this... is this the true strength of "Heavenly Path" Roy, who has a bounty of 25 billion?!

The difference... how could it be so huge?!

Roy walked to the edge of the pit and looked down at them.

With his right hand, he slowly drew the black sword, Autumn Water.

The blade gleamed with a cold, eerie light under the moonlight, reflecting the terrified faces of the six men.

"You're unlucky."

Roy said calmly,

"Of all times, it had to run into me."

As he finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Telekinesis - Mental Interference!

The six people's consciousness instantly fell into chaos!

The scene before my eyes began to distort, as if countless illusions were exploding in my mind!

Fear, despair, confusion... all sorts of negative emotions surged in like a tide.

This prevents them from concentrating on resisting!

At this very moment

The blade flashed.

Black Blade Autumn Water transformed into a jet-black streak, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

The flash of the blade was as fast as lightning, yet as beautiful as a dream.

But all it brought was death.

puff--!!!

Blood gushed out!

The throats of six CP0 elites were slit open simultaneously!

Their bodies froze on the spot, and the light in their eyes quickly dimmed.

He didn't even have time to let out a final scream.

Roy sheathed his sword and shook off the blood remaining on it.

Blood droplets fell to the ground, gleaming eerily in the moonlight.

He glanced at the six gradually cooling corpses at the bottom of the pit, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

From the start to the end, it only took a few breaths.

All six CP0 elites were wiped out.

Roy turned around and continued walking towards the Flower Capital.

The figure gradually blended into the night.

Behind them, only six deep pits, six corpses, and the gradually spreading stench of blood remained.

The night wind howled, scattering the last trace.

Ahead, the lights of Orochi's mansion remained bright.

There, even more prey awaited him.
