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

The two members of the Knights of God, who had been cleaved in two by Roy, were now enveloped in swirling black mist.

An attempt to reconnect the body that had been broken in two.

The black mist, like countless tiny tentacles, extended from the wound and reached towards the other part of the body, trying to pull the two back together.

Roy's figure disappeared from mid-air.

The next second he appeared beside one of the members of the Order of the Gods.

With his Observation Haki fully activated, his senses enveloped the man like an invisible net.

He sensed an unusual fluctuation on the man's right arm—

It was a tattoo-like mark, emanating an aura that shared the same origin as the black mist.

"Found it."

Roy's Conqueror's Haki coalesced into an invisible spike, precisely piercing the mark.

The power of Conqueror's Haki and Black Strike collided, producing an extremely piercing buzzing sound.

The body of that member of the Knights of God began to convulse violently, and the surging black mist suddenly stopped as if it had been choked.

His body began to flicker like a broken television screen—

Sometimes it is whole, sometimes broken, sometimes there is black mist, sometimes there is no black mist.

The power of the Black Transformation became extremely unstable under the impact of Conqueror's Haki, unable to be repaired or completely dissipated.

"How—how did you know—!!!"

The member of the Knights of God opened his mouth, and his voice came out in broken, intermittent sounds, as if squeezed from deep in his throat.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

For eight hundred years, the Black Dragons' dominance has been one of their most closely guarded secrets.

Apart from the Five Elders and members of the Knights of God, almost no one knows of its existence.

But this pirate not only knew, he also knew how to break the code.

Roy did not answer his question.

Black Blade Autumn Water slashed upwards, the blade precisely slicing across the skin where the mark was located on the man's right arm.

A complete right arm detached from the body, flipped twice in the air, and then landed on the ice, bounced twice, and then remained still.

The body, having lost its mark, was completely stripped of the protection of the Black Transformation.

The flickering black mist suddenly contracted the moment the severed arm was separated from the body.

Then it vanished completely into the air like a punctured balloon.

The two severed bodies lost all support, and blood gushed from the cuts, splattering a large, dark red fan shape on the ice.

One member of the Knights of God has died.

Roy straightened up, shook the blood off Qiushui Dao, and turned to look at another guy who was being repaired by the black mist.

He had already sensed the black mark on the man's calf.

The figure vanished from its original spot once more, only to reappear beside the person a second later.

The same operation—the Conqueror's Haki interrupted the repair, and with a single slash, Shusui severed the lower leg. The black mist dissipated, and blood splattered.

Another one has died.

From the moment Roy teleported down to the moment he took down the two men, it only took a dozen seconds.

The two members of the God's Knights, who were protected by the Black Transformation, were dealt with cleanly and efficiently.

The remaining members of the Knights of God were deathly pale.

Their ability to turn black is their greatest asset.

With the Black Transformation, they can fight recklessly in battle, and even if they suffer fatal wounds, they can automatically recover.

But now Roy has shown them a cruel truth through his actions:

Black magic is useless against him.

Not only is it useless, it may even become a death warrant.

Roy can not only interrupt the Black Transformation repair process, but also accurately locate the imprint position of each person.

This means he knows how the blacklist works—

This information should have been known only to the Five Elders and Lord Im.

Shamlock's knuckles turned white from gripping the knife too tightly.

"you……"

His voice was hoarse and deep, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

But the strength Roy was displaying at that moment left him speechless.

Even his planned surprise attack on Roy by using the Black Reversal was easily thwarted.

Saint Satan stood behind the Knights of God. Of his eight spider legs, only six were still movable, and the two that had been severed were slowly regrowing.

But at that moment, his attention was completely elsewhere—

His eyes were fixed on Roy, and the apprehension in his eyes had turned into fear.

Roy knew about the black turn.

He not only knew about the existence of Black Transformation, but also about its operating mechanism, how to use Conqueror's Haki to interfere with its repair process, and how to accurately locate the mark.

This level of understanding is beyond what ordinary intelligence gathering can achieve.

Does he still know about Lord Im's existence?

Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore.

Im, the true ruler of the Void Throne, a mysterious being who has ruled the world for eight hundred years—

This is a top-secret information of the World Government, and no more than ten people in the entire Celestial Dragon race know about it.

But if Roy knows this much about the Black Transformation, then he probably also knows about Lord Im.

If Roy knew about Lord Im... then that person's threat level would have to be reassessed.

Saint Satan lived for eight hundred years and had seen countless so-called "threats"—

Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard, Kaido—each of them was considered a thorn in the side by the World Government.

But even the strongest players can only struggle on the chessboard, while Roy seems capable of overturning the entire chessboard.

Even more frightening is that if Roy were to reveal the secret of the Black Transformation, it would be a huge blow to the World Government's credibility.

Although there aren't many people on the high seas who can suppress Black Turn with Conqueror's Haki, which of those monsters with Conqueror's Haki isn't a troublemaker?

The remnants of the D clan all regard the Celestial Dragons as their mortal enemies.

If they were to discover the weaknesses of the Black Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Satan could no longer sit still.

His scepter slammed heavily on the ground, and with all six intact spider legs exerting force simultaneously, his massive body charged toward Roy at a speed disproportionate to its size.

A dark blue light shone from the top of the scepter; it was the pure, domineering aura he had accumulated over eight hundred years, so thick it was almost tangible.

The domineering aura spun rapidly at the top of the scepter, forming a blue sphere the size of a fist.

The space around the sphere of light began to distort and deform due to the condensation of this force, and the air was compressed, producing a piercing popping sound.

"Roy—!!!"

Satan's roar echoed across the battlefield, and his scepter, carrying enough power to shatter a mountain, struck Roy in the back.

This attack was devoid of any fancy moves; it was simply a pure and overwhelming assault.

Roy had just dealt with the second member of the Knights of God, and before Qiushui could even retrieve it, Satan's scepter had already arrived.

But there was no panic on his face.

Within the range of his telekinetic domain, no attack could escape his perception.

When Satan's scepter was still three meters away from his back, Roy's body had already begun to shift.

The scepter grazed Roy's clothes, and the blue orb at the tip of the scepter slammed into the ice behind him.

A massive ice crater, more than ten meters in diameter, appeared behind Roy, and shockwaves spread in all directions, scattering ice shards and blood mist all around.

Seawater was blasted out from the bottom of the ice pit, spewing up a water column more than ten meters high.

Roy steadied himself amidst the shockwave and turned to face Satan Saint.

"A sneak attack from behind is not the style of the Five Elders."

His tone remained relaxed, but a hint of seriousness had crept into his eyes.

Satan's attack was far more powerful than he had expected—this ancient monster who had lived for eight hundred years was indeed a force to be reckoned with.

Satan did not respond to his teasing.

He raised the scepter again, but this time he did not test him.

A black, domineering aura surged from his body, forming a thick layer of armor around him.

With all six spider legs exerting force simultaneously, he transformed into a black lightning bolt, his scepter striking Roy like a torrential downpour.

Each thrust carries the domineering power to shatter a mountain, and each sweep carries the might to tear the air apart.

Roy raised his knife to block.

The moment Qiu Shui collided with the scepter, he felt a tremendous force emanating from the blade, making his hand go numb.

The old man's strength was far greater than he had imagined—the enhancement of his physical body by the Bull Demon form, coupled with eight hundred years of combat experience, made each of Satan Saint's attacks carry a kind of raw and fierce power.

The two engaged in a fierce battle on the ice.

The glint of Qiu Shui's sword clashed repeatedly with the blue light of the scepter, each clash unleashing a shockwave that shattered the surrounding ice surface.

Several members of the Knights of God who were nearby tried to help, but they were blasted away by the aftershocks of the two men's battle before they could even get close.

Above the battlefield, the battle between Roy and Satan Saint continued.

While the two were fighting, on other battlefields in Marineford,

The fierce battle between Beehive Island and the Navy has entered its most brutal phase.

The entire Marineford region has become a giant meat grinder.
