Wang Zhi... belongs to the 'poor' among the top-level cadres.

All of it was given to the common people.

They did not accumulate much wealth.

Their power grew rapidly and steadily; building such a vast network of relationships and influence in just eight years was something he could not have accomplished alone.

"Kahn?"

Roger suddenly roared angrily, "You were distracted while fighting me? Are you looking down on me?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Kahn was annoyed. This damn bastard wouldn't let go, he couldn't kill him, and he was blocking his way... If he had the fighting power of Rocks, he would risk dying several times to quickly beat this bastard to death and not give Roger a chance to escape.

"I despise you! I've despised you from the very beginning, you piece of trash! You have to pay the price for being willful! You're always causing trouble, like a troublemaker, don't you find it disgusting?"

Kahn devised a countermeasure while multitasking.

Before he awakens his immortal physical body, he naturally cannot multitask, making him vulnerable to being exploited by his opponents.

After awakening.

Multitasking is a last resort, as it can lead to over-reliance on the benefits of an immortal physical body.

It creates flaws that shouldn't exist.

"Wow~ Hahaha!"

Roger laughed again, blocking Kahn's attack, and retorted, "You don't understand! The sea is calling me! The world needs me!!!"

"..."

I really want to kill this bastard!

But joining forces to take down Wald is the most sensible choice.

If they failed to defeat 'World Destroyer' Wald this time, defeating him next time might be even more difficult than defeating Roger.

That mad dog, Wald, will bite people indiscriminately when he goes berserk.

"You keep saying the sea is calling you, that this sea belongs to everyone, but aren't you also harboring the idea of ​​conquering the sea and overthrowing the world? You keep your crew in check by not harming civilians, aren't you the freest pirate crew on the sea? Have you ever restrained yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kahn vanished from his spot and reappeared above Roger's head with the speed of teleportation.

A sword was swung out.

As fast as lightning, Roger was unfazed by the teleportation ability as it struck towards his head. Relying on his Observation Haki, which was far more terrifying than Katakuri's, he dodged to the side as if he had anticipated it.

Kahn anticipated his opponent's prediction and changed his move as the sword fell.

"I've seen this trick before."

Roger held the sword in one hand, the sword not moving, while his other hand clenched into a fist and punched out, striking Kahn's sword with precise force that disrupted the sword's rhythm.

Kahn constantly manipulated the surrounding life elements, transforming them into blades that attacked Roger from various corners.

Roger was enveloped in an aura of dominance.

It flows continuously in a cycle.

They never stopped for a moment.

This level of power consumption is terrifying; only a monster skilled in power can withstand it.

“Vines grow and twine.”

Countless vines sprouted out.

"Hey, Kahn, while your vines may have many functions, they can't break through my domineering aura."

Roger held the sword in one hand, while Ace's blade was wrapped in an astonishing aura of dominance. With a single swing, Ace easily severed dozens of vines, demonstrating the power to overcome any technique.

He grinned and said, "Don't you have any new tricks up your sleeve?"

Peng!

Peng!

Peng!

The severed vines exploded instantly, releasing a strong, pungent odor that spread all over the body.

Roger's face immediately darkened.

"That's not the new trick I was talking about!"

"Thorns and Prison!"

Kahn maintains a stable sword-holding posture.

Dozens of dragons composed of life elements were circling nearby.

Nearly a hundred vine-like thorns, following the words spoken, rapidly grew by drawing life elements from the wooden dragon through the trees, forming a prison that trapped Roger inside.

The thorns on the surface of the thorn bush grow rapidly, as if they are instantly magnified into thick and strong thorns.

He stabbed Roger.

pat!

pat!

pat!

……

The thorns broke off at the root.

Immediately afterwards, dense vines grew in through the gaps, trying to entangle Roger's body and control him for a moment.

There was a whooshing sound.

The entire Thorn Cage was shattered, and countless wind blades attacked in all directions. Gusts of wind seemed to be imbued with life, surrounding Roger and wrapping around Ace's blade.

At this moment, he was like a god of the wind.

"Can't even control it for a moment..."

Kahn was helpless. He didn't have enough Haki, and the Haki was too scattered. It's not a good habit to have too much Haki wrapped around things. If you can't concentrate it, your attack and defense will become very weak.

For example, the thorns that weren't so imposing just moments ago broke with a single poke.

If it's Lena entangled in domineering thorns, seize the best opportunity and stab her away.

"Roger, you're not a Devil Fruit user? How can you control the wind?"

As Kahn attacked, he thought to himself, "The creators of this world believed that magma, earthquakes, and hurricanes were the most powerful forces."

"In the decisive Battle of Wald, Shiki, who possessed the Float-Float Fruit, almost perished in the storm, and the pirate fleet was reduced to less than one-tenth. On the contrary, Roger, who was not a Devil Fruit user, survived the storm and led his entire crew to safety."

In that sense, it's not unreasonable for someone like Roger, the protagonist of this era, to be able to control one of the three great powers—the wind.

"Lava, earthquakes, and hurricanes are three natural disasters, but none of them can compare to life."

The very aftershocks of their battle caused the space itself to tremble and become unstable.

Clouds churned, seawater surged, islands crumbled, and countless trees were destroyed—a scene of utter devastation, all because of a man-made battle.

"Hahaha! That place is making a bigger commotion than me!"

"The little brat has grown up to this extent."

"They've already destroyed several islands, and countless people have died because of them. Why are they so cruel?"

"The New World is full of monsters, and the Grand Line is too dangerous lately. I'd better go and make my way in the four seas."

"..."

If the fight reaches this point, and all the moves have been used, even thousands of moves wouldn't be enough to fight for days and nights.

Roger knew in his heart that the outcome depended entirely on attrition.

Whoever persists the longest.

Whoever wins.

He didn't need to withdraw before Wald was defeated; he could perhaps exhaust Kahn's spirit.

Captured alive.

In Roger's view

No matter how terrifying a monster is, or how incredible its abilities are, it will have weaknesses.

Another day has passed.

"A volley of ten thousand swords!"

The elements of life transformed into countless swords, densely packed, blotting out the sky.

"Whoo~"

Roger took a deep breath, gripped Ace tightly with both hands, and with Conqueror's Haki swirling around him, swung his sword with all his might.

boom!!!

The once overwhelming sword shadows were mostly cleared away.

The sky cracked open again!

"All swords return to one!"

The remaining swords merged into one, using their remaining power to launch an attack on Roger.

But the opponent was already getting impatient.

He used Conqueror's Haki Entanglement once again to thwart the attack.

"A great opportunity!"

Kahn's momentum had already reached its peak, and he was just waiting for the right opportunity. When Roger became impatient, his figure disappeared again, waiting to reappear.

The person was already close, and he swung his sword.

"Kahn, you're getting impatient."

Roger blocked the attack, but saw something unexpected: the dragon's roar form began to change. This sword itself could change according to its master's actions.
