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

Van Augur stood on the gunwale of the Ark of Truth, his sniper rifle aimed down below.

He didn't hit people, but rather the weapons in the recruits' hands—the bullets accurately struck the barrels and knife handles, knocking the weapons from their grasp.

Lafayette drew his sword and moved swiftly across the deck, each strike precisely hitting the recruits' wrists or shoulders, rendering them incapable of fighting but not seriously injured.

Charon followed behind Lafayette, tasked with kicking the fallen recruits off the battlefield to keep them out of the way.

Kazami did not participate in the melee.

His gaze locked onto the bamboo-skinned man on the warship carrying a long sword.

"brush--!"

Kazami drew his sword and flashed to appear directly in front of the bamboo pole man.

The sword flashed, aiming straight for his throat!

Xiu Zuo's pupils contracted, and he twisted his slender body, narrowly avoiding the sword strike.

"Who are you?!" Xiu Zuo shouted sharply.

Kazami did not answer, but turned his sword and thrust it forward again.

His sword was incredibly fast, each strike aimed at Shuzo's weaknesses—eyes, throat, heart, joints.

As a user of the Abundance Fruit, Shusa's body can sway freely like a vine, but Kazami's sword is too fast, forcing him to be fully focused and fight with all his might.

"Damn it!" Xiu Zuo gritted his teeth, waved his hands, and several seeds burst out from his palms, enveloping Feng Jian.

Faced with the identical attacks from Shuzo and Pea, Kazami lightly stepped back, avoiding the area of ​​smoke.

The two faced off, separated by a distance of more than ten meters.

"You're not a swordsman?"

"Damn it! Does carrying a sword make you a swordsman? It's just an accessory!"

Shuzo cursed silently.

He never imagined that carrying a knife would make him a swordsman, and that he would suffer such an undeserved calamity.

On the battlefield, everyone tacitly held back.

The Roy Pirates' executives only injured, not killed, while the Marine recruits fought with all their might, but the difference in strength was too great.

Only the battle between Zephyr and Savi, Yamato, and Burgess was a true head-on clash.

Zefa's black wrists clashed repeatedly with the spiked club, the giant ape fist, and the power punch, each impact creating a thunderous explosion.

Zefa fought against three opponents single-handedly and held his own in no way.

But his expression grew increasingly grim.

It wasn't because he couldn't beat him—it was because he knew Roy hadn't made a move yet.

The man standing at the bow of the Ark of Proverbs is the real trouble.

............................

Roy stood at the bow of the Ark of Proverbs, arms crossed, looking down at the battlefield below.

His Observation Haki covered the entire area, allowing him to perceive the location, state, and movements of everyone present.

Savi, Yamato, and Burgess teamed up and fought Zephyr to a standstill.

The three young men grew increasingly coordinated and their teamwork improved with each fight. Although Zefa was stronger than them, he couldn't defeat them in the short term.

Enel suppressed the recruits in the air, and his lightning struck those who tried to fight back with pinpoint accuracy.

The pea vines controlled the battlefield, making it impossible for the naval recruits to move an inch.

Van Augur's sniper rifle destroyed more than a dozen weapons, while Lafayette and Charon cleaned up the battlefield.

Kazami abandons Shusa and confronts a young female marine. The two dart across the deck, their swords flashing.

The situation is under control.

Roy withdrew his gaze and looked at the World Government ship that was being protected in the center.

The CP members on the ship had already rushed out, their faces ashen and their eyes filled with fear.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of having the gold stolen from the sky.

The methods of world governments are far more terrifying than death itself.

"Stop him!" the leader of the CP members roared. "We absolutely cannot let him board the ship!"

Seven or eight men rushed toward Roy at the same time, their blades flashing and guns spitting fire.

Roy didn't even glance at them.

The psychic field unfolded silently, and those people, halfway through their charge, suddenly froze.

An invisible force, like a giant hand, held them firmly in mid-air, unable to move.

"Don't bother," Roy said casually as he walked past them.

He landed on the deck of the World Government ship and walked toward the cabin.

The cabin door was locked—three locks, each made of a specially crafted seastone alloy.

Roy used his telekinesis to probe the lock cylinder, sensing its internal structure.

Then, twist it gently.

Click. Click. Click.

All three locks opened simultaneously.

As the cabin door opened, a smell of metal and wood wafted out.

Roy stood at the doorway, looking at the scene before him, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

gold.

The gold bricks, stacked neatly from floor to ceiling, gleamed with a dark yellow luster under the dim lights of the ship's cabin.

Jewelry.

Rubies, sapphires, diamonds, emeralds—gems of all colors are packed in open boxes, refracting dazzling light.

Pele.

Bundles of banknotes, neatly stacked, covered half a wall.

There are also antiques, artworks, rare minerals...

Roy took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his lips.

"The World Government is really rich."

He wasted no time, took out his storage bag, and unleashed his full mental power.

An invisible force enveloped all the treasures in the entire cabin—gold bars, jewels, pewter, antiques—and they all rose from their original positions, converging in mid-air to form a golden torrent that flowed into the storage bag.

The scene was spectacular.

Gold glittered under the lights, jewels refracted iridescent light, and Pele's papers rustled.

The entire cabin was emptied at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than three minutes, only bare walls and floors remained in the cabin.

Roy patted the storage bag and nodded in satisfaction.

"knock off."

He turned and walked out of the cabin toward the deck.

The CP members on the ship were still struggling in mid-air, and when they saw Roy come out, their eyes were filled with even more fear.

"Where...where did you hide the heavenly gold?!"

Roy ignored him, pushed off the ground, and soared into the air, landing back on the Ark Maxim.

He stood on the ship's railing, looking down at the still fierce battle below, and whistled.

The whistle was sharp and long, a signal to retreat.

Yamato was the first to hear it, and with one blow he forced Zephyr back before retreating.

"Let's leave! Let's leave!"

Savi stopped, his giant ape form dissipated, his body shrunk back to normal size, and he turned and ran.

Bagesway laughed, threw a punch at Zefa to force him to defend, and then ran away.

The three of them ran faster than the next, like rabbits.

Zephyr wanted to give chase, but Enel's lightning struck down from the sky, forcing him to stop.

"asshole!"

He roared and looked up at the Ark's Proverbs.

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, smiling at him.

"Mr. Zephyr, you played well today. Your students are much better than the last batch."

Zephyr's face turned ashen: "Roy! Where's the Heavenly Gold?!"

"Heavenly Gold?" Roy patted his storage bag. "It's with me."

"you--!"

"Don't get excited."

Roy waved his hand.

"I'm just keeping it temporarily."

"I'll return the money I've plundered to the people of all countries when the world government is willing to do so."

Zefa trembled with anger at Roy's words.

But there was nothing they could do but watch Roy and the others leave!
