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

The sudden appearance of Roy caused Sengoku and Fujitora's expressions to change simultaneously.

A rare look of astonishment appeared on the wrinkled face of the Warring States period.

He had just scanned the entire plaza with his Observation Haki and hadn't sensed Roy's presence at all.

This person appeared on the battlefield as if out of thin air, without any warning, without any energy fluctuations, and without leaving even the slightest trace.

"Roy—!!!"

With a roar, golden Buddhist light exploded from his body.

His original Buddha body, which was over ten meters tall, rapidly shrank, and with a single palm strike, he deflected Jin's flaming blade, revealing a small Buddha statue over three meters tall before everyone's eyes.

The miniature Buddha turned and unleashed a palm strike towards Roy.

A golden shockwave exploded from the Buddha's palm, sending stone slabs flying and compressing the air into a visible white wave.

Roy didn't even turn his head.

He pulled out Qiu Shui from inside Green Bull's body and slashed out with a backhand slash.

A pale green flying slash shot out from the blade, precisely striking the center of the Buddha's palm impact, slicing the golden shockwave in two.

The two forces exploded in mid-air, and the shockwave spread in all directions, overturning several stone slabs.

Roy himself used the recoil from the blow to land lightly on a stone pillar a dozen meters away.

Green Bull's body was flung off the knife and rolled several times on the ground like a tattered sack before coming to a stop.

The wound on his chest, inflicted by Qiu Shui, was still bleeding. The residual energy from Conqueror's Haki caused his body to spasm, making him unable to move even a finger.

Fujitora, who was standing nearby, reacted the moment Roy appeared.

He pushed the power of the Gravity Fruit to its limit, and purple gravity ripples spread wildly around him.

He was initially tightly entangled by Jack and Quinn, but at this moment, he risked taking a heavy punch from Jack and managed to break free from the encirclement.

The blind man's cane slammed heavily on the ground.

"Gravity Field Suppression!"

Purple ripples of gravity spread toward Roy, crushing the stone slabs in their path and causing the air to vibrate with a buzzing sound due to the distortion caused by gravity.

The stone pillar beneath Roy's feet was crushed into powder the instant the gravitational field pressed down on it.

However, he himself had already disappeared from the spot before the stone pillar shattered, and the next second he appeared on the ruins at the other end of the square.

Jin seized the opportunity and led his officers to press forward again.

The flaming blade traced a scorching arc in the moonlight, aiming straight for Fujitora's back.

Jack transformed into his mammoth form and charged forward with his head down. Queen's Gatling gun swept from the side, and the other members of the Flying Six also attacked from different directions simultaneously.

Fujitora was forced to retreat repeatedly by this wave of attacks.

Although his gravity field could deflect most attacks, it was still too much for him to deal with so many people attacking at the same time.

The gravitational ripples on the blind man's cane kept expanding and contracting, and each release made his breathing more rapid.

air.

Roy stood on the platform formed by his psychic powers, looking down at the battle in the square.

Fujitora and the heavily wounded Green Bull were forced to retreat under the siege of King and his subordinates.

While Fujitora's Gravity Fruit is troublesome, the Beast Pirates' executives' defenses are no joke either.

They would rather take a heavy blow than not retaliate against Fujitora.

Moreover, he now has to protect the Green Bull who is lying on the ground unable to move, which makes his movements even more restricted.

Sengoku, on the other hand, was stopped in mid-air by Roy himself.

The former admiral's golden Buddha aura was more refined than before, and the form of a miniature Buddha allowed him to maintain his offensive and defensive capabilities while also enhancing his agility.

Each strike of his Buddha's Palm carried overwhelming power, but Roy's blade always precisely cleaved through his attack path, neutralizing the golden shockwaves one by one.

The two fought fiercely in the air, evenly matched.

Golden light and black light collided fiercely in mid-air, each collision creating a ring-shaped shockwave.

To be honest, Roy felt a bit emotional.

There is an unwritten rule in the world of One Piece—

Pirates' strength begins to decline rapidly as they age.

Whitebeard is a typical example. When he was young, he could sink an island with one punch, but now he needs IV drips just to maintain his imposing presence.

If Roger hadn't died, he probably wouldn't have escaped this pattern either.

But the navy does the opposite.

The older they get, the more monstrous they become; the older they get, the stronger they become.

Let's leave aside Garp, whose strength remains a mystery.

The Warring States period is a living example.

After retiring as marshal, this old man should have been enjoying his retirement, but instead of being idle, he further developed his Devil Fruit ability.

The original form of the Buddha was a colossal creature tens of meters tall, with astonishing power but lacking in agility.

Now compressed into a smaller Buddha, it not only retains the attack and defense capabilities of the large Buddha, but also improves speed and reaction speed.

As Roy cleaved through Sengoku's Buddha Palm attack with a single slash, he was already plotting something else.

Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Great Buddha Form.

The rarity of this fruit in the world of One Piece goes without saying; the mere mention of "Mythical Zoan" is enough to make any Devil Fruit user envious.

Moreover, the Warring States period had developed this fruit to an extremely terrifying level. If they could obtain it, Beehive Island would have another top-tier fruit available.

Conquer the Warring States period.

The thought flashed through Roy's mind.

But he quickly calmed down—the Warring States period was not some Tom, Dick, or Harry that could be easily conquered.

Even though his current strength has firmly surpassed Sengoku's, capturing this former Fleet Admiral alive will not be an easy task.

"Roy—!!!"

The roar of the Warring States interrupted Roy's thoughts.

The golden Buddha swung his palm, compressing the surrounding air into a tangible white wave of energy.

Roy raised his knife to block.

The autumn water collided with the Buddha's palm, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal.

The shockwave exploded from the point of impact, shattering the surrounding clouds.

"Mr. Sengoku, you've become even stronger since you stepped down than when you were marshal."

Roy's voice was unhurried, as if he were chatting with an old friend.

Zhan Guo did not respond.

His face was terribly grim, and golden Buddhist light surged wildly around him, each palm strike more ferocious than the last.

He only wants to do one thing right now—take care of Roy as soon as possible, and then go support Fujitora and Green Bull.

But Roy's blade remained firmly in place, blocking all his attacks.

The black sword, Autumn Water, seemed to have a life of its own in Roy's hands; every swing precisely struck the weakest point of the Buddha's palm's power.

It's not about brute force, but about using skill to overcome strength.

The fiercer Sengoku's attacks, the more he was led by Roy's swordplay.

The battle situation in the plaza below is becoming increasingly unfavorable for the navy.

Fujitora's gravitational field is shrinking at a visible rate.

It wasn't that he was exhausted, but rather that he had to devote more energy to protecting the Green Bull.

Ember's flaming blade kept slicing in from tricky angles, Jack and Queen's frontal attacks became more and more ferocious, and the Flying Six took turns attacking from the sides and behind.

Fujitora had to withstand so many attacks and protect a seriously wounded soldier all by himself. Even someone with an iron body couldn't hold on.

Green Bull lay on the ground behind Fujitora, blood still seeping from the wound on his chest.

He finally managed to dissipate most of the remaining Conqueror's Haki energy, but the injuries to his body were far from easy to heal.

He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but his legs wouldn't obey him at all.

"Fujitora... leave me alone..." Green Bull squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
