I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Hundredfold Slash!"

In an instant, the scythe in his hand grew a hundredfold, transforming into a giant sword over a hundred meters long, which he then slashed down in fury!

Moreover, figures flashed behind Roger, their fists and blades completely covering the area where he stood.

But just as the gigantic scythe descended from the sky, about to strike!

Roger, who had been standing still, blurred for a moment before dodging the massive scythe that fell from the sky.

He swiftly changed direction and lunged forward, his hands covered in dark Armament Haki. He appeared in front of the Black Wing Tengu and, before the Tengu could react, grabbed his dark wings with both hands. With a twist of his waist, he unleashed a burst of powerful force that sent the Tengu flying like a cannonball.

call out!

Tengu's figure flew backward, like a cannonball piercing the air with a whistling sound, and crashed sideways into a female swordswoman with dual swords. The two figures flew backward for hundreds of meters.

Roger swiftly drew his sword, unleashing a stunning sword light as he spun around, dodging the whistling blade past his ear. A spinning kick landed squarely on the abdomen of a burly man behind him, sending him flying like a cannonball.

But at that very moment, a giant fist the size of a head came crashing down from the side and slammed into Roger's cheek.

boom!

A strong wind howled, and the ground collapsed a bit, with spiderweb-like cracks patching it up, but Roger did not retreat an inch.

A dark Armament Haki silently covered his face. He glanced at the giant who had punched him in the face, and with lightning speed, he swung his sword upwards. A crescent-shaped sword light burst forth, sending the giant flying into the sky.

"He's really good at causing trouble. I never expected such a warm welcome."

Amidst the fierce battle, Roger muttered to himself.

When facing Sig, the Fifty-Sixth Emperor would be somewhat wary and would not act rashly.

But Roger Wang, an unknown nobody, seemed to be more popular than Sieg, and the attacks coming from all directions immediately overwhelmed him.

"what happened?"

"While we've been in prison, have any formidable new figures emerged on the high seas?"

The black-winged tengu that Roger had just thrown out flapped its wings repeatedly, stopping its backward flight in mid-air, its gaze immediately becoming serious.

The man who calls himself Roger Wang is surrounded and attacked.

However, he was extremely experienced in combat. In this storm of attacks, his dodges and attacks were incredibly smooth, almost like a fish in water, constantly moving through the impenetrable sword light.

"How could this be a newcomer? A newcomer could never have such extensive combat experience."

While Black Wing Tengu was filled with doubt and surprise.

A roar, like a thunderclap, exploded across the battlefield.

"Go away!"

boom!

Barrett roared and strode into the battlefield, charging like an enraged bull, knocking away all the pirates who stood in his way.

"Damn it...aren't we allies of the pirate alliance?"

The fifty-six emperors were completely unprepared for the attack from behind and were knocked away by Barrett.

then.

Barrett's towering figure stopped in front of Roger.

He stared intently at Roger in front of him, then suddenly grinned.

A chilling aura and Armament Haki instantly enveloped his entire body, turning his skin indigo purple and his eyes crimson, revealing a devilish appearance.

"I thought I'd never have another chance in this lifetime..."

Chapter 845 He is Roger!

"I thought I would never have another chance in this lifetime."

Barrett growled from her throat.

At this moment, he exuded a ghostly aura, his eyes were bloodshot, and his muscles, which were as hard as cast iron, turned a strange indigo blue, like a demon from hell descending to earth.

Unlike others.

He fought Roger the most times and was once Roger's crew member, so he can be said to be the man who knew Roger best among the Fifty-Six Emperors.

Barrett's eyes were bloodshot, and she let out a low growl from her throat:

"Luo----"

"Barrett, after all these years, you still remember me as Roger Wong!"

Roger took a step forward, his figure as fast as lightning, and the long sword in his hand struck Barrett with lightning speed.

"Gods, beware!"

In the blink of an eye, Barrett crossed her arms in front of her chest, resisting the lightning-fast sword strike.

But he let out a muffled groan.

His lower abdomen felt as if it had been struck by an invisible force, slightly denting in. An immense, invisible force flipped him over, his feet carving a deep furrow in the ground.

Barrett gave Roger a deep look, and their eyes met.

After all, they were partners who had spent every day together, and he quickly understood the meaning in Roger's eyes.

"Roger Wang? It's been so many years!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared as he charged again!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each punch was powerful and heavy, crashing down with a whooshing sound, cracking the ground and creating trench after trench.

Clang! Clang!

Roger's longsword rang out with a loud clang, and Barrett's power surged like a river bursting its banks.

"For over a decade... day after day, endless training in Impel Down..."

"That's why I can stand before you in my strongest form right now!"

Barrett let out a low growl and slammed a punch at Roger in front of her.

Barrett was still young in that bygone golden age.

It is undeniable that... even though Roger, Whitebeard, and the others' strength did not decline due to their advancing age, and they were still at their peak.

But their true peak was always their prime, when they were competing with each other.

And this moment.

After more than a decade of dedicated training in Impel Down, Barrett is now 33 years old.

His mastery of Armament Haki has reached its peak, and his Fusion Fruit has awakened...

At this moment, he was in the most powerful period of his life!

At the peak of his career, he encountered the opponent he most wanted to defeat...

"I'm so excited!"

Barrett grinned and threw a punch at Roger, which was blocked by Roger's sword. The two men's eyes met in mid-air.

But at that moment, a gust of wind sounded behind his ear.

"Hey, Barrett, we need to settle the score for that attack we just had—"

One of the pirates who had just been knocked away reacted and charged toward Barret with a grim expression.

Blackwing Tengu's face was grim:

"Damn it, that Barrett guy is a real troublemaker on the battlefield. He doesn't distinguish between friend and foe no matter which side he's on! It's almost turning into an internal conflict."

But this internal strife lasted only a few seconds.

"It's in the way!"

Barrett directly blocked the attacks of these powerful pirates with her bare body, and then blasted them all away with a powerful punch.

Anyone who stands in my way of fighting him shall die!

"Roger...King Roger!"

At this moment, Barrett was like a demon, her figure charging and crashing across the battlefield, her surging fist winds like a storm, sweeping across the battlefield with unbridled abandon!

The deafening roar of the engines filled the air, and the clash between the two sides instantly brought the battlefield to a fever pitch.

With each clash of fists and swords, a raging storm rises, causing mud to fly, rocks to crumble, the abandoned ship island beneath their feet to shatter in trembling, and the seawater beside the shore to surge and crash, waves colliding and breaking apart.

"When did such a powerful figure appear on the high seas...? How did Barrett manage to get there first?"

Wald's scythe returned to its original form. He looked thoughtfully at the two fighting figures without intervening.

The strong in this world prefer to fight alone and rarely encounter situations where they outnumber the weak, so Wald was unwilling to get involved.

Other great pirates either disliked Barrett and didn't want to get involved, or they were wary of her, and the weaker ones found it difficult to even get close to her.

They stood there in a circle at a distance, their eyes filled with apprehension.

"Roger Wang... I've never heard of him before. Who is he? Even a fully-powered Barrett couldn't take him down?"

"Have we been away from the sea for too long? When did another monster appear on the sea?"

"That's not impossible... Years ago, I met a blind swordsman who was incredibly strong, like a monster, yet he was completely unknown..."

As is widely known, Zoro and Zorojuro are two different people, and Roger and King Roger are also completely unrelated.

Outside of this bustling battlefield, the ship's doctor, Crocus, kept his eyes glued to the man's retreating figure.

"How could this be..." he muttered to himself, recalling the last image of Roger's back in his memory.

I will not die...

......

On the other side, Redfield gripped the long umbrella tightly, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He couldn't recognize Roger's appearance or scent... but he could cheat.

From Roger's inner thoughts, he vaguely had a startling guess.
