One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

"Hehehehe..."

Upon hearing Jabba's words, Ron finally couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.

"Hehehehehehehehe........"

Ron's laughter suddenly grew louder.

"Ha ha ha ha........"

"Ha ha ha ha........"

Finally, Ron threw his head back and laughed wildly.

Rayleigh frowned and said in a deep voice, "Hey, what are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Ron's laughter gradually subsided, and his gaze fell on the three people. He spoke slowly and deliberately: "Isn't it funny? Listen to what you said earlier, how righteous and indignant it was."

"But what happens in the end? You yourselves will find that you are pirates."

Ron didn't give him a chance to interrupt, continuing, "As pirates, can you guarantee you don't have the blood of innocent people on your hands? Do you dare? When it's in your favor, you don't even mention morality, but when it's not, you turn around and talk to me about honor?"

"To put it bluntly, you're just a bunch of hypocrites who want to have your cake and eat it too."

Roger and his two companions were stunned by Ron's retort.

"You bastard!" Jabba was the first to react. "What are you talking about?"

"Shut up!" Ron roared. "Didn't I insult you? And who do you think you are? It's the Rocks Pirates who are cooperating with the Kuja Pirates, what does that have to do with your Roger Pirates? What are you yelling about?"

"Have you lost your mind after being a simp for so long? Or have I given you too much face? Why are you babbling on and on?"

"Whoosh~~~!"

The moment the blade flashed, Roger had already drawn his sword and leaped into the air with a ferocious expression.

The sword was enveloped in Conqueror's Haki, and the air was compressed, producing a piercing whistling sound.

His figure traced an arc in the air as he descended from the sky.

Ron's gaze darkened, then he snorted coldly. You resort to violence when you can't win an argument? The future "Pirate King," the man who's supposedly impossible to "hate," is really just this kind of person.

"To be honest, I'm really grateful that you refused to let me board the ship." As Ron whispered, Nine-Tails Mode was instantly activated, and golden, flame-like chakra covered his entire body. Immediately afterward, he drew his long sword from his waist, and Conqueror's Haki wrapped around it at the same time.

"Thump!!!"

A muffled, deafening explosion rang out, and terrifying aftershocks instantly swept outwards.

The earth trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared around Ron, quickly spreading and collapsing outwards.

At the center of the two weapons, Conqueror's Haki compressed the air into a visible, distorted sphere that continuously expanded, contracted, and expanded again.

-------------------------------------

At the same time, in a tavern in town.

The white-bearded man was holding a bowl of unfinished wine, still complaining about why Ron wasn't awake yet, when suddenly his movements froze.

His gaze suddenly turned westward, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Kaido, who was sitting on the other side of the table, belatedly looked up, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

"Wow...that's some really strong Conqueror's Haki." Kaido's voice was a few decibels lower than usual. "Who? Is Rocks back?"

"No..." The white-bearded man slowly stood up, picking up his naginata from the table. "It's not Rocks. Rocks's aura was much more domineering than this."

After saying that, the white-bearded man walked out.

"Where are you going?" Kaido also stood up, picked up his spiked club, and chased after them.

"Let's go take a look, even though we don't know what happened."

"Wait for me, I'm coming too!" Kaido quickly followed.

"Hey," the bartender called out, leaning halfway out from behind the counter, "you two haven't paid yet!"

"Record it in the account of Lox." The white-bearded voice came from afar, growing ever more distant.

"Oh." The bartender nodded obediently.

"Hey, why aren't you chasing him?" The boss rushed to the bar and punched him on the head.

"He said to put it on Locks' tab..." the waiter said, covering his head and looking aggrieved.

"Idiot!" The boss smacked him on the head again, scolding him with exasperation, "Those two guys were clearly freeloading no matter how you looked at it!"

-------------------------------------

Ron's side.

Currently, Ron's Conqueror's Haki is still quite far from Roger's.

However, even with the "Sage Body" and Nine-Tailed Fox mode, Roger didn't gain much of an advantage.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle,"

The two Conqueror's Haki energies continued to clash, the air twisting and deforming between them, emitting a hissing sound like electricity.

At the same time, Rayleigh and Jabba had already appeared beside Ron.

Immediately, two figures leaped high into the air, one on the left and one on the right.

"Hey, kid," Jabba swung his double axes, his movements perfectly synchronized with Rayleigh's longsword, striking simultaneously. "So, what are you going to do next?"

At the critical moment, golden chakra hands instantly extended from Ron's left and right arms.

"Knock knock!!!"

The chakra hand instantly grabbed Rayleigh's longsword and Jabba's double axes.

But the cost was enormous. Under the double impact, the ground beneath Ron's feet collapsed again, with rubble and soil sinking down like quicksand. Half of his body sank into the pit, with only his upper body exposed.

"What the hell?" Jabba was clearly startled by Ron's suddenly extended arm, his eyebrows raised high. "It can grow arms anytime, anywhere?"

"That's really unexpected." Rayleigh chimed in, but his grip didn't loosen at all.

"drink!"

Seeing that Ron was distracted by Rayleigh and Jabba, Roger seized the opportunity and suddenly exerted his strength. The Conqueror's Haki on his sword surged up suddenly, shooting into the sky like black flames.

The force pressed down on Ron's blade, causing it to bend slightly and groan under the strain.

At the same time, Rayleigh and Jabba pulled back their swords and retreated, adjusting their posture in mid-air before launching a second attack.

This round of attacks is far faster and more intense than the last.

The three worked together flawlessly. Roger pressed forward from the front, while Rayleigh and Jabba flanked from both sides, cutting off all of Ron's escape routes.

Ron frowned, but without hesitation...

The nine-tailed fox demon has descended.

"boom,!"

A giant golden fox rose directly from the crater, its expanding body tearing several huge cracks in the surrounding ground.

Nine enormous tails spread out behind him, and seven or eight chakra hands extended from his sides.

Roger, Jabba, and Rayleigh hesitated for a moment, their attack faltering slightly. They hadn't expected Ron to be able to transform into his "beast form."

Without hesitation, Ron, who had transformed into a nine-tailed fox demon, threw a punch at the three of them.

This sudden turn of events forced Roger and his two companions to switch from an offensive to a defensive posture.

But just as they were parrying, Ron's chakra hand suddenly opened its palm and then clenched its five fingers, trying to grab them.

Roger and Rayleigh reacted even better, dodging at the last second before being caught, slipping through the gaps between the chakra hand's fingers.

But Jabba was a step too slow; the chakra hand gripped his waist tightly and pulled him in front of Ron.

"Fuck you, here's three for you."

Ron cursed, and with a thought, the chakra arms that stretched out in front of him each condensed a Tailed Beast Ball.

It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. The three chakra arms acted simultaneously, thrusting towards Jabba from the left, right, and top.

"Jabbar!!"

Roger and Rayleigh's pupils contracted simultaneously as they both realized the danger and launched an even more ferocious attack.

"Ron, stop right now!!!" Roger roared hoarsely.

"BOOM!!!"

A dazzling beam of light, like the sun, illuminated the entire world, followed by a deafening explosion.

The violent aftershocks spread outwards, the earth was like a crumpled piece of cloth, layer by layer was lifted up, and everything was thrown into the air.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a golden figure darted out from the thick smoke.

Ron has reverted to his human form in Nine-Tails mode.

"Pfft!"

As soon as he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been so focused on giving Jabba the Tailed Beast Ball that he hadn't paid any attention to defense, and had taken a hit from Rayleigh and Roger.

But... it doesn't matter.

With his immortal body, his wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ron!!!"

At the center of the smoke and dust, a loud shout rang out, and the surrounding smoke and dust were instantly blown away by a powerful gust of air, revealing three figures inside.

Roger stood at the front, his face bearing several bloody scratches, and the killing intent in his eyes was more than ten times stronger than before.

Rayleigh stood next to Jabba, not much different from before.

Jabba's upper body was stained red with blood, but he was still able to stand, indicating that he was only injured and had not lost his ability to fight.

"Damn it," Ron cursed under his breath, the blood still smearing from his mouth. "If I had more time, I'd give you something even bigger."

"Whoosh!"

High in the sky, two figures descended from the heavens and landed heavily beside Ron.

The white-bearded man glanced at Ron first, then raised his head and looked ahead.

He was clearly taken aback when his gaze fell on Roger.

"Roger?" the white-bearded man whispered, then looked at Ron and asked, "What happened? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Ron replied.

"What happened?" Kaido gripped his spiked club, his eyes warily fixed on the three men ahead, his tone tinged with anger. "What did Roger and his gang do to you, Ron?"

"Heh heh heh..." Ron sneered, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "They came here out of nowhere to interrogate me. As Shakky's lapdogs, they've already succeeded quite a bit."

The white-bearded man frowned slightly, but didn't press further. Instead, he turned his gaze back to Roger, his expression grave: "Roger, you bastard, what are you trying to do?"

Roger looked at the white-bearded man, paused for two seconds, and then slowly said, "Newgate...you and I are old friends who are both enemies and friends, right? For my sake, I hope you won't interfere. This is a feud between us and Ron."

Ron glanced at Whitebeard instinctively, unsure of who Whitebeard would side with.

After all, he hadn't spent much time with Whitebeard, so what kind of relationship could they have?

The relationship between Whitebeard and Roger was one of mutual respect and admiration, forged through years of sparring at sea.

One acquaintance can only be counted by day, while the other acquaintance is counted by year.

The choice seems to require no hesitation.

Ron lowered his gaze, even plotting in his mind how to make a getaway.

However, a large hand suddenly landed on Ron's head.

To be honest, Ron was a bit overwhelmed; if Whitebeard had been any stronger, he would have transformed into a nine-tailed fox demon on the spot.

Then, the white-bearded man's voice came down from above Ron's head, "What are you talking about, Roger? I treated that kid like a little brother."

"That's right, Roger, you bastard! We're all members of the Rocks Pirates, we're the crew, you're just an outsider!" Kaido shouted.
