Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Roger, who hadn't been able to unleash his full power for a long time, was now completely enraged.

Living with the daily fear of death and the pursuit of his dreams, Roger was under immense pressure.

At this moment, the battle initiated by Shiki allowed Roger to completely lose his mind and fight desperately.

He gripped Ace, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords, tightly with both hands, the black blade wreathed in Conqueror's Haki.

The muscles in his arms bulged high, and veins coiled like azure dragons along his arms. A circular sword aura slashed out from his body, sweeping outwards in all directions.

They forced the Golden Lion, who was wielding two famous swords, to retreat.

The Golden Lion, forced back by Roger's sword energy, laughed maniacally:

Roger, Roger! Why won't someone as powerful as you join forces with me to rule the world?!

Why do you insist on forcing me to kill you?

Lion of Weihai Roll!

Shiki the Golden Lion easily controlled his flying figure, speeding towards Roger close to the sea.

The two famous swords in his hands had been plunged into the sea at some unknown time.

With the activation of the Golden Lion's power

The golden lion floated into the air behind him, and in an instant, the golden lion was less than thirty meters away from Roger.

Behind him, tens of thousands of water spheres formed from condensed seawater had already gathered.

"combine!"

With a loud roar from the golden lion, all the seawater that had risen into the air collided in one direction, and within three breaths, it coalesced into an enormous two-headed lion.

Roger looked at the two-headed lion formed from seawater before him, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

He believed in his own strength, and since he wasn't a superhuman, he wasn't afraid of being soaked in seawater, so he didn't try to dodge at all.

"Gods, beware!"

Roger gripped Ace with both hands and slashed down hard with his sword.

A magnificent sword aura flew towards the two-headed lion of the golden lion, and the two-headed lion, fearless, roared and charged towards the sword light.

boom!

The loud bang was clearly audible even to people more than ten nautical miles away.

A flash of golden light appeared, and the two-headed lion formed by the sword's edge and the seawater perished together.

Under the impact of the violent air currents, seawater fell from the sky like a long-planned downpour. Roger stood in the rain, completely unconcerned about the seawater washing over him; he simply looked up at the golden lion who was petitioning.

Because of the nature of his Devil Fruit powers, Shiki is afraid of seawater, so he flew into the sky before the collision occurred.

At this moment, the eyes of the two powerful figures, one above and one below, locked together once again.

Ace and Sakura, and the withered tree stand facing each other from afar.

"Roger, the warm-up is over. Now it's time for the real battle."

The golden lion grinned, the cigar still puffing out smoke.

Roger stroked his beard and flashed a bright smile:

"Shiki, you can't beat me."

boom!

The next moment, the two figures collided again, and the violent impact caused the surrounding seawater to tremble violently.

Both the Golden Lion and Roger were sent flying backwards.

Roger's right arm was slashed by Shiki's withered tree branch, and Shiki's chest was also slashed open by Ace.

At this moment, the battle between the two sides has entered a more dangerous melee phase.

"Hahahaha, Roger, how much longer can your body hold out?"

The golden lion made no attempt to hide his mockery.

Roger's serious illness was not a secret in their circle; most of the pirate captains knew about it.

This is one of the reasons why very few people would go back and provoke Roger; no one would want to offend a powerful figure whose lifespan is unknown.

However, Shiki desperately wanted Roger to know the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapons, as he had dreamed of ruling the world ever since he was in the Rocks Pirates.

Lox failed because he didn't know how rebellious his men were.

Although Rocks' captains were all world-class in strength, they did not share Rocks' interests, so they betrayed Rocks without hesitation during the God Valley battle.

Shiki wasn't worried about encountering this problem at all, because he had already cultivated the loyalty of his subordinates.

He didn't need idealists like Whitebeard and Big Mom; he needed a group of desperados, a group of pirates whose eyes were only on money and killing.

Unfortunately, Kaido ignored Shiki's offer of a fight; otherwise, Shiki would have been fighting alongside Roger long ago.

Roger's eyes were already somewhat bloodshot. He looked at the wound on his arm and burst into laughter:

"Shiki, I don't know how much longer I have to live, but I promise I won't fall before you die at Ace's hands."

The Golden Lion grinned, unperturbed by Roger's mockery.

"Lion's Thousand Cut Valley!"

Several sharp sword beams were unleashed by the golden lion. Each of these incredibly fast sword beams was capable of instantly killing a naval colonel.

Such an attack was merely a casual slash by the Golden Lion as a test.

Roger, carrying Ace in one hand, used Moonwalk to dash towards Shiki.

Stunned, stunned, stunned, stunned.

As if something fragile had been easily shattered, the Golden Lion's slash was like glass to Roger, easily broken.

Roger swung Ace's sword with Conqueror's Haki as he slashed at Shiki.

"Gods, beware!"

"Lion Valley".

The Golden Lion, holding Sakura Ten and the withered tree in both hands, was also shrouded in Conqueror's Haki, and collided with Roger's Ace.

Clang!

At the moment of collision, powerful pressure and air currents surged outwards from the two people's bodies.

Even the members of Roger's Pirates, who were fighting the Flying Pirates at their feet, were surprised.

"Captain Roger, you've grown even stronger!"

Barrett had just snapped the necks of two pirates, licked the blood from his lips, and looked at the two men locked in a stalemate in the sky.

Puff puff.

The sound of weapons piercing flesh rang out, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground with a thud.

Rayleigh, his face covered in blood, walked out of the crowd carrying a famous sword, with a ship full of pirate corpses behind him.

If the captain is working so hard, we, his companions, can't hold them back. We need to hurry up and defeat them.

Rayleigh's words were as if he were talking about something trivial; in fact, they had expended a lot of energy just killing a whole ship of pirates.

The Golden Lion's Flying Pirates were not a hodgepodge. Even the cannon fodder in the Flying Pirates were members who had been eliminated through brutal competition. Each pirate had killed at least ten people, including one or two of his own crew. Although the Roger Pirates were far stronger than them, the depletion of their stamina was inevitable.

boom!

The collision in the sky finally ended, and Roger's body flew rapidly downwards.

The golden lion flew backwards, stirring up the air currents in its wake.

However, the golden lion only flew backwards for a few hundred meters before stabilizing itself in mid-air.

He looked at Roger, who was still plunging into the sea, with a puzzled expression.

In the sky, Roger's figure had his eyes closed, unleashing his unique talent—the domineering power to listen to all things in the world.

Even during his fierce battle with the Golden Lion, he heard a mysterious voice coming from the seabed.

"Run!"

However, he was busy fighting the Golden Lion, so he wasn't fully focused on finding the source of the sound.

Right now, he created an opening, plummeting from the sky to search for the secret of that voice.

Finally, after Roger used all his Observation Haki, he finally heard and saw the meaning of the owner of that voice.

Beneath the turbulent surface of the sea, swift currents surged, and sea monsters, each over three or four hundred meters long, were collectively moving away from the battleground. They cried out:

"Hurry, a devastating tsunami is about to hit!"

Go to the deep sea, where there are no tsunamis.

Sensing the information from the Sea Kings, Roger opened his eyes, his expression filled with shock.

It was also Roger and the Golden Lion who stopped...

In a short period of time, Roger also verified the letter from his surroundings.

The accuracy of the information.

In the fierce battle with the enemy just now, everyone neglected to be aware of their surroundings and had no time to think. Roger once again held Ace in his hand, once again swirling Conqueror's Haki around him, and his deep voice rang out above everyone's heads.

"Gods avoid."

"Stop, Roger!!!"

With a roar from the Golden Lion, he used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to quickly approach Roger below.

A surge of rage-filled Conqueror's Haki descended from the sky, sweeping towards Roger.

The golden lion's slash, unleashed with vengeance, was an absolutely devastating attack.

However, Roger paid no attention to the slash from behind, and stared expressionlessly at the pirate ship that was wrapped around his own vessel at his feet.

A slash no less powerful than that of the Golden Lion appeared from Roger's hand, and with merciless ferocity, it slashed towards the pirate ship beneath his feet.

Then, the sword's edge and Conqueror's Haki exploded together at the ship's most vulnerable point.

The entire ship instantly split in two, and then, under the pressure of the seawater, it shattered into pieces.

"Captain, watch out!"

"Roger, I've arrived."

Two voices rang out simultaneously, appearing behind Roger.

They were Roger's right-hand men, Rayleigh and Jabba.

The two of them used all their special moves to barely withstand the Golden Lion's hateful attack.

Everyone landed on the Orjaxson, while the Golden Lion landed on his flagship, his eyes filled with hatred.

In this encounter, he was outmaneuvered by Roger and lost a ship.

Although Roger's primary targets were ships rather than people, the fact that he managed to launch a successful sneak attack right under Shiki's nose still infuriated Shiki.

"Roger, I originally intended to defeat you and let you be gloriously buried in this sea."

"But now I've changed my mind. I'm going to take you back to the floating island and let my men watch your corpse forever."

The Golden Lion's words were filled with ruthless cruelty, sending chills down one's spine, but they were ineffective against Roger.

"Captain, what is he saying? It sounds like he wants to take you away."

Jabba joked with Roger.

Roger also laughed heartily:

"The golden lion wants to worship me, making me kowtow and offer sacrifices to him every day."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, but the veins on the top of the golden lion's head continued to throb.

After laughing, Roger turned around and said with a serious expression!

"Everyone, I just heard the voice of the Sea King. A cataclysmic tsunami will erupt here soon. Now is not the time to fight the Golden Lion, but to see if we can escape the tsunami's reach."

But I believe in you, and I believe in the Orjaxson beneath our feet.

At first, no one noticed anything amiss, but after Roger finished speaking, everyone suddenly sensed that something was wrong with their surroundings.

The dark clouds over the sea were even thicker than before the war began. They had initially thought it was caused by the fighting, but now it turned out that wasn't the case at all.

From the distant dark clouds, lightning, resembling a thunder dragon, could be seen flickering between the clouds. Rayleigh closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in the surrounding magnetic field, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

"Roger is right. I sensed the chaos in the magnetic field. It seems that an unparalleled tsunami is about to erupt here."

Bucky looked at everyone in terror and shouted;

Captain, Mr. Raleigh, you're joking, aren't you?

I feel that the chances of surviving a devastating tsunami are lower than the chances of surviving a battle with the Golden Lion.

Bamoto already felt that facing the Golden Lion Pirates' encirclement and suppression was already hell mode, but now it seems there is an even greater purgatory mode.

The members of Roger's pirate crew were all powerful individuals who did not eat Devil Fruits. Their mastery of the three types of Haki, as well as their physical skills and physique, was astonishing.

Even if they encounter a shipwreck, their chances of survival are extremely high.

Buggy is different. As a Devil Fruit user, he would lose all strength if he fell into the water, making it a 100% death situation for him.

Suddenly, he felt someone grab his neck and turned around to see Shanks.

Shanks said with a serious expression;

Bucky, don't worry, I'm here with you. If what the captain said is true, I'll definitely swim you out of these waters.

Shanks' words warmed Bucky's heart, but he couldn't accept that Shanks' blood had stained his clothes.

He shoved Shanks aside and scrambled to Rayleigh's side.

"Mr. Raleigh, what should we do now?"

Rayleigh stared at the changing clouds in the sky, then spoke;

"First, furl the sails to prevent the strong winds from blowing us around."

As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, a violent gale began to rage across the sea from afar. Because the sails of the Orjaxson had been lowered relatively quickly, its hull was not subjected to strong impact.

The Golden Lion's fleet, on the other hand, had long been decimated by the attack.

The once tight encirclement is now riddled with loopholes, allowing Roger and his men to escape from anywhere they wish.

However, they dare not make any move at the moment.

In the distance, a colossal wave, almost reaching the sky, surged towards the sea with ferocious force. The long-accumulated thunderclouds in the sky finally erupted, and bolts of lightning as thick as stone pillars struck the vast ocean.
