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

clang--!!!

The gong sounds!

The burly man grinned maliciously and charged forward!

A punch was thrown!

However, Roy simply turned slightly to the side and easily dodged the punch.

"What?!"

Before the burly man could react, Roy had already raised his hand and gently pushed him in the chest.

boom--!!!

The burly man's body flew backward like a cannonball and slammed hard against the wall!

The wall collapsed instantly, and the burly man was embedded in the rubble, his eyes rolled back, and he had completely lost consciousness!

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence!

Those spectators who were just mocking him now stared wide-eyed at what they saw in disbelief!

"This...how is this possible?!"

"A punch? No, that wasn't a punch, just a gentle push?!"

"That burly man is a strong fighter who has won five matches!"

"Who exactly is this 'Jem'?!"

In the VIP section, Lafayette and Van Auger exchanged a glance and smiled.

"The captain's acting skills are truly..."

Lafayette couldn't help but shake his head.

Van Ace said seriously,

"Actually, the captain has already been quite restrained."

"If he gets serious, that guy won't even have a chance to get close."

……

In the following matches, Roy dominated the game.

In the second match, my opponent was a fighter who used leg techniques.

He had just lifted his leg when Roy slapped him away.

In the third match, the opponent was a swordsman who used a weapon.

He had just drawn his sword when Roy pointed at it, shattering the blade instantly and sending him flying.

In the fourth match, the opponent was an assassin known for his speed.

He circled Roy ten times, trying to find a weakness.

Then, Roy reached out and grabbed his collar, then casually threw him away.

Every match was resolved with a single move.

Every performance left the audience speechless.

Gradually, the jeers from the audience disappeared, replaced by wild cheers.

"Jem! Jem! Jem!"

"Who is this guy?! He's too strong!"

"I bet on him! A million! All of it!"

Roy's winning percentage has been soaring.

It took less than half a day to go from the initial 1:100 to the current 1:1.5.

The gamblers flocked to the betting station, placing their bets on Roy.

Meanwhile, in the stands, a naval lieutenant commander in civilian clothes was staring intently at Roy in the arena.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"This...this is impossible..."

He murmured,

"That 'Jem'...that face..."

He suddenly stood up, turned around and ran off the field.

"This must be reported immediately!"

"Emperor Roy of the Heavenly Path has appeared on Fighting Island!"

……

Roy's gaze swept indifferently over the naval lieutenant commander who was hurrying away.

According to his Observation Haki, that aura was rapidly moving away from the fighting arena and heading towards the port.

Lafayette noticed Roy's gaze and followed it, seeing the departing figure as well.

"Captain, that navy officer..."

He said in a low voice.

Roy waved his hand dismissively.

"Let him go."

"We'll be leaving here soon!"

Lafayette nodded thoughtfully.

Yes, with the captain's abilities, he's not afraid of the navy finding out.

Even if they send a large army, what can they do?

Before the captain whose fruit has awakened, no matter how many people come, they are just food to be served.

Roy withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the next match stage.

……

Meanwhile, outside the fighting arena.

The naval lieutenant commander ran wildly into a makeshift command post near the port.

"Report!"

He was breathing heavily when he spoke to a major general sitting inside.

"Major General! Major situation discovered!"

The major general was reading documents when he heard this and looked up.

"What's going on?"

The naval lieutenant commander took a deep breath.

"Emperor Roy of the Heavenly Path has appeared on Fighting Island!"

"What?!"

The major general abruptly stood up, his expression changing drastically.

Are you sure?!

The naval lieutenant commander nodded solemnly.

"Sure!"

"That face, that aura, there's absolutely no mistake!"

"Although he used the pseudonym 'Jem' to participate, it's definitely him!"

The major general's face turned pale instantly.

Emperor Luo Yi of the Heavenly Path...

That monster with a bounty of over 25 billion...

That man who just fought Vice Admiral Garp for three days and three nights and awakened his Devil Fruit...

What is he doing here?!

"Quickly! Contact headquarters immediately!"

The major general roared,

"Reporting to Marshal Sengoku! Emperor Roy of the Heavenly Path has appeared on Fighting Island!"

"Requesting backup!"

The communications officer immediately began operating the Den Den Mushi.

A moment later, the call was connected.

"This is Naval Headquarters! Please speak!"

The major general snatched the Den Den Mushi.

"I am Major General Morgan from Branch G-3! Stationed in the waters off Fighting Island!"

"Report! A major situation has been discovered!"

"Emperor Roy of the Heavenly Path has appeared on Fighting Island!"

"Again! Emperor Roy of the Heavenly Dao has appeared on Fighting Island!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, a calm voice came.

"I am from the Warring States period."

"Major General Morgan, are you sure?"

Major General Morgan took a deep breath.

"Confirmed! Warring States Marshal!"

"My lieutenant colonel witnessed it with his own eyes!"

"He's participating in the Fighting Island tournament as 'Jem'!"

"And...and..."

The Warring States period said in a deep voice,

"And what?"

Major General Morgan gritted his teeth.

"Moreover, he crushed his opponents all the way, defeating them in a single move!"

"We've made it to the finals!"

There was silence again on the other end of the phone.

a long time--

"understood."

The voice of the Warring States period carried a hint of weariness.

"You...do not act rashly."

Major General Morgan was taken aback.

"A Warring States Marshal? Aren't you going to send troops to encircle and annihilate him?"

The Warring States period gave a bitter smile.

"Encirclement and suppression?"

"Major General Morgan, do you know what he did a few days ago?"

Major General Morgan was taken aback.

"What?"

Warring States period took a deep breath.

"He just fought Garp for three days and three nights and completed the awakening of his Devil Fruit."

"He is no longer someone that an ordinary strong person can deal with."

"Even if we send a large army, it will only be a death sentence."

"Just pretend you didn't see anything."

"As long as he doesn't attack the navy first, don't provoke him."

Major General Morgan opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

a long time--

"Yes... Marshal of the Warring States Period."

The phone hangs up.

Major General Morgan slumped in his chair, staring at the ceiling, speechless for a long time.

Emperor Luo Yi of the Heavenly Path...

Has that man become so powerful that even the Navy Headquarters dares not provoke him easily?

……

The match continues inside the fighting arena.

Roy dominated the entire course and easily made it to the finals.

His opponents include experienced veterans and formidable rising stars.

But against Roy, they were all dealt with in a single move.

There are no exceptions.

The audience has gone from mocking them to idolizing them.

"Jem! Jem! Jem!"

Whenever Roy stepped into the ring, the entire arena erupted in deafening cheers.

Those gamblers who bet on him made a fortune and wished they could worship him like a god.

In the VIP section, Lafayette and Van Auger watched with great interest.

"The captain's acting skills are truly..."

Lafayette couldn't help but laugh.

"He could have easily finished it off with one punch, but he insisted on pretending to be so relaxed."

Van Augur nodded.

"really."

"However, the audience couldn't tell."

"In their eyes, the captain was a dark horse who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

Lafayette chuckled.

"Tomorrow's final against Bages will be interesting."

A glint of anticipation flashed in Van Auger's eyes.

"yes."

"I wonder how long that Burgess can last against the captain."
