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

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Roy's endless stream of abilities were giving even veteran powerhouses Sengoku and Garp a headache.

If they weren't both users of Conqueror's Haki, capable of constantly removing various negative effects from their bodies...

Roy could render the two helpless simply by using his kite tactics.

Moreover, Roy also possesses the Dark-Dark Fruit, which can counter Devil Fruit users.

This forced the Sengoku period to be extremely cautious, lest they inadvertently fall into Roy's trap.

"brush!"

Roy dodged another punch from Garp, but landed right between the two of them.

Just then, Sengoku unleashed a Buddha's Palm strike from the front, while Garp delivered another Iron Fist from behind.

The two attacks came from both sides, with a time difference of less than half a second.

"Boom~"

Since the start of the battle, he has been constantly using the Soul-Soul Fruit, coupled with the pressure from the two top experts.

A glint of light flashed in Roy's eyes.

He sensed it.

After countless uses of mental energy, the barrier that had been so difficult to break through finally loosened.

Roy's pupils contracted. As the barrier that had been preventing the Soul-Soul Fruit from awakening shattered, his mental power, like a flood breaking through a dam, breached the last dam at the deepest level of the fruit's power.

hum-

A buzzing sound, reaching the very depths of their souls, exploded in the hearts of everyone present.

A pale blue pillar of soul light shot into the sky from Roy's body.

The beam of light shot straight into the sky, tinting the moonlight above the Skull Palace with a faint blue hue.

The light was not dazzling, yet it was impossible to look directly at it; at that moment, everyone's soul felt a tremor from its very source.

Within the pillar of soul light, Roy's spiritual power surged wildly, spreading in all directions like a tsunami.

Every inch of space covered by spiritual power seemed to be occupied by Roy's soul, and everyone present felt as if they were being seen through by something.

The entire top of the Skull Hall was shrouded in soul suppression.

Sengoku felt as if his soul was being gripped by something.

His movements were more than half a beat slower; the golden Buddha light flickered uncertainly under the impact of the pillar of soul light, like a candle flame in the wind.

Garp's situation isn't much better.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and his teeth were grinding together.

The suffocating feeling that came from the depths of his soul made him react sluggishly, and each punch required several times more mental effort than usual to generate.

"What kind of power is this...?" Garp squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

Roy opened his eyes.

A faint blue light appeared in those eyes.

He clenched his fist, feeling the surge of spiritual energy coursing through his body.

That power seemed to have unlocked some kind of shackles, elevating his perception, reaction, and attack to a completely new level.

In his eyes, the soul shapes of Sengoku and Garp were clearly visible.

The soul of the Warring States period is like a golden Buddha, solemn and majestic.

Garp's soul is a burning flame that will never be extinguished.

Roy's own soul, however, was a bottomless black ocean.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"It's finally done."

Roy's figure disappeared from the spot.

The next second, he appeared in front of Garp and threw a right punch.

This punch contained no dark water or black mist; it was simply a soul attack imbued with the awakened power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

A fist slammed into Garp's chest.

Garp raised his arms to block, but the soul power attached to the fist penetrated the physical defense and struck his soul directly.

Garp felt as if something had torn a hole in him, and his soul trembled under the blow.

"Bang!"

Garp was blasted away.

Sengoku wanted to provide support, but Roy had already appeared behind him.

A pale blue soul slash flew from Roy's fingertips.

Zhan Guo turned around and struck with a palm, golden Buddhist light meeting the soul-slaying attack.

The two forces collided in mid-air. The soul slash pierced through the Buddhist light and struck Sengoku hard.

"puff--!"

Zhan Guo spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although the soul-piercing strike only grazed his shoulder, he felt as if his soul was about to leave his body from that blow.

The golden light suddenly dimmed, and the small Buddha's form swayed slightly.

Roy stood in the moonlight, surrounded by a deep blue glow.

He looked down at his hands, his expression calm.

The awakening of the Soul-Soul Fruit elevated his spiritual power to a new level, making his previously invisible spiritual power seem incredibly viscous.

At the same time, the further enhancement of his mental strength made Roy's Nen Fruit even more terrifying.

Their previously stagnant strength has reached a new level.

Sengoku and Garp on the opposite side also stood up again.

The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

How did Roy manage to awaken his Devil Fruit while fighting the two of them?

What kind of monster is this?

Roy landed on his feet, and a faint blue aura of his soul slowly swirled around him.

His shadow was stretched long by the moonlight, covering the cracked stone slab beneath Sengoku and Garp's feet.

After awakening, Roy seemed like a completely different person.

His spiritual power solidified around his body like a physical entity, and every grain of dust in the air was clearly visible to him.

He captured every breath, every muscle contraction, and every flow of Haki from Sengoku and Garp.

"Gentlemen,"

Roy flexed his wrists, his tone as casual as if he were chatting at a tea party.

"I will be more serious from now on."

Garp snorted and charged forward first.

The iron fist tore through the air, carrying a burst of Conqueror's Haki lightning as it slammed into Roy's face.

This punch contained all of Garp's explosive power; he couldn't hold back anymore.

Roy did not dodge.

He raised his right hand, palm up, and a pale blue light screen unfolded in front of him, with streaks of black and red lightning dancing on it.

Garp's fist slammed into the light screen, and Conqueror's Haki flashed everywhere, but his fist was stuck in the mud and couldn't move.

Karp's pupils contracted.

This light barrier is not a physical barrier, but a purely mental barrier.

Conqueror's Haki is a manifestation of will and spirit, and is actually an extension of the soul.

The awakening of the Soul-Soul Fruit, combined with Roy's already immense spiritual power, allowed him to utilize the soul to its very essence.

The use of Conqueror's Haki is second nature to him.

Roy pushed back with his hand.

The soul light barrier exploded, and Garp was knocked back several steps, his feet carving two deep furrows in the stone slab.

Warring States period approached from the side, and the small Buddha's palm struck out three times in succession.

Three golden shockwaves flew towards Roy in a triangular formation, blocking all his evasive angles.

Roy neither dodged nor evaded, but instead opened his mouth and unleashed a pale blue soul shockwave.

The shockwave, carrying an overwhelming aura, collided with the Buddha's light. The Buddha's light was eroded and disintegrated by the power of the soul the moment it came into contact with the light, like ice and snow meeting boiling water.

The three golden shockwaves dissipated within three meters of Roy, without even touching the hem of his clothes.
