One Piece: I only realized murder was illegal after leaving the Holy Land.

So he simply assumed this guy was a member of Roger's pirate crew, and naturally, he attacked without any scruples when facing pirates.

The scalding magma slammed into Vikingham's freezing light wave, hissing and creating a cloud of water mist and white smoke.

“Sakazuki?” Vikingham only then noticed Sakazuki’s presence.

Unfortunately, based on his Observation Haki, this guy's aura only indicated that he was an 'elite', so Vikingum didn't pay much attention to him and thought he was just an ordinary elite naval officer. He only recognized him when he saw him.

On the other side, Sakazuki suddenly realized that the magma he had unleashed was being rapidly eroded by the freezing air. Although its power was weakened, it was completely unable to stop the spread of the freezing air.

Left with no other choice, Sakazuki increased his energy output, unleashing a torrent of Logia-type magma power as he shouted, "Borsalino, what are you daydreaming about?!"

Not far away, Borsalino was watching Vikingum's figure with a complicated look. Unlike Sakazuki, Borsalino was a 'background' in the Navy, so he naturally recognized Vikingum.

Their eyes met at that moment, and a bright smile appeared on Vikingum's lips. He then raised his hand and swung his chain axe at Borsalino.

At this moment, there were no words, but Borsalino already knew what he had to do. His gaze darkened, and as golden light flashed in his hand, a laser beam shot out.

"Too slow!" Vikingham quipped, missing the laser beam, and his figure had already reached Sakazuki.

Sakazuki drew his long sword from his back, which was covered in scalding lava, and without any fear of Vikingum's imposing aura, he raised his hand and slashed out.

This guy is not only a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, but also a formidable swordsman.

"Your lava is barely enough to light candles on a cake..." Vikingham taunted as ice crystal prisms suddenly erupted beneath his feet.

The ice prism pierced Sakazuki's body instantly, and before he could even mobilize the magma, he was frozen solid.

Vikingham then dodged past him and delivered a powerful elbow strike, slamming it into Sakazuki's ice sculpture. The force of the blow instantly tore Sakazuki to shreds, leaving behind a pile of ice shards mixed with cooled lava.

Following closely behind, Borsalino transformed into a laser beam, drawing a Kusanagi sword and slashing at Viking Gum, saying, "Let me see just how much of a difference there is between us..."

“The gap is huge!” Vikingum immediately responded to Borsalino’s words, his figure gliding away from the attack of the Ama-no-Murakumo sword.

Then, with lightning speed, he grabbed Borsalino's wrist, using the force to sway and hang upside down in mid-air. With a powerful kick to Borsalino's head, he said, "Even light can be kicked!"

With a bang, Borsalino's head exploded, and he flew backward, crashing to the ground some distance away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

With a single blink, Vikingham instantly killed Sakazuki and Borsalino, and continued rushing towards Harald's location.

He then added in a rather pretentious tone, "You're all too young right now; you're not qualified to be on this stage yet..."

Finally, it's his turn to lecture others. How satisfying!

While Logia-type Devil Fruit users can be physically captured by Haki and thus injured, they can also be restored to their 'whole' state through the fusion of natural energy.

Just like during the Marineford War, Sakazuki was cut in half by Vista's Haki, but the lava adhered to his body, and he quickly returned to his 'undamaged' state.

Even after being violently beaten and deformed by Newgate, he was still able to recover. The injury seemed to be internalized rather than externalized.

The same thing happened here. Vikingum smashed his head into pieces and kicked it open. It seemed like a fatal injury, but for a Logia-type, it wasn't. And Vikingum did indeed show mercy.

Then, black smoke rose from the fragments of Sakazuki, and soon the magma thawed, gathered together, and returned to its human form.

Without a second thought, Sakazuki prepared to give chase and continue the fight, but in the next instant, a flash of blue flame passed through his peripheral vision, followed by a fierce kick from his left.

Compared to Vikingham's speed just now, this attack was much 'slower', which was something Sakazuki could handle. Therefore, Sakazuki quickly raised his arm to block the attack from his side.

With a thud, Barrett kicked Sakazuki in the arm, then said coldly, "Your opponent is me!"

"Who are you!?" Sakazuki asked as he threw a punch.

Barrett made no attempt to stop him. Sakazuki punched him in the chest, creating a gaping hole and spewing magma, but Barrett didn't react at all. Instead, he retaliated by punching Sakazuki hard in the head, saying, "Douglas Barrett, Roger Pirates' doctor!"

"The ship's doctor!?" Sakazuki felt the ferocity of the punch, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his expression one of disbelief.

Damn, are all the doctors on your ship this good? No wonder they're the legendary Roger Pirates, known for their 'all-elite' crew!

Both of them had very fierce and direct fighting styles, so they started throwing punches at each other on the spot. The magma and blue flames mixed together and kept splashing. But perhaps because Barrett's Haki was more skillful and Sakazuki had only been practicing Haki for a short time, Sakazuki was still at a disadvantage even though he was older than Barrett.

In particular, Barrett, relying on the power of the phoenix, didn't need any protection and used all his Haki to beat people up!

On the other side, Borsalino was also stopped by Dorling and the other members of Roger's Pirates. Due to the complex relationship between his mentality and position, he did not intend to break through the obstruction. Instead, he started acting and fought fiercely with Roger's Pirates, looking like he was outmatched.

Harald was briefly blocked by Sakazuki and Borsalino, but this allowed him to break free of the glacier's restraints and emerge completely from the ground.

Compared to Roger falling from the sky and Shiki chasing after him, Harald instinctively locked onto Vikingum as his first priority target when he noticed Vikingum approaching.

There was no way around it; the biggest loss he suffered on Whole Cake Island came from this guy who was usually quite inconspicuous!

"Sun Saw!!!" Harald swung his greatsword, imbued with immense domineering power, and instead of unleashing a slash, he smashed it directly at Vikingum.

With a flick of his wrist, the chain axe flew up, and at the perfect length, freezing air instantly solidified the flexible chain into a hard axe handle. Viking Gum neither dodged nor evaded, his domineering aura surging forth, and as the battle axe turned black, he slammed it into Harald's greatsword.

However, in just a moment of contact, a tremendous and terrifying force was transmitted, causing the ground beneath Vikingham's feet to crack instantly. His arms trembled, and his face flushed, as if he was about to give way.

"This is...!" Vikingham didn't have time to complain before his figure was swept away by the longsword and blasted away.

Compared to his time on Whole Cake Island, Harald's physical strength at this point can be described as superhuman!

Vikingham was confident in his strength, believing that even Roger wouldn't be able to easily knock him away when he went all out. However, at this moment, he couldn't even reach Harald's fierce attack!

However, the instant he landed and smashed the ground, raising dust that obscured his vision, a roar of metal clashing together erupted from the smoke.

"Majestic Armor - Frosty Ice Ferocity!!!"

A frost-white beast, even larger than Harald, swayed its five tails and, imbued with the power of Susanoo, burst forth from the enormous cloud of dust with lightning speed.

The forelimbs transformed into sharp claws that precisely pierced Harald's shoulders before he could react. Taking advantage of its massive size, the beast pinned Harald down and then opened its blood-red maw, biting into Harald's neck.

Blood splattered, and Harald stumbled and was knocked to the ground.

At the same moment, Shiki had already arrived, his eyes wide with surprise, and exclaimed, "What the hell is this ability?!"

They directly defeated the corrupted Harald!?

Roger was stunned by what he saw. Was Susanoo really that powerful?

Chapter 155: Peak Harald Smashes Roger and Vikingham? (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

The King of Giants was crushed to the ground by an even larger phantom beast. The bloody battle at this moment had an epic feel to it, as if the myths of Elbaf had come to life.

Roger seized the opportunity, plunging a knife into Harald's eye. He stood on Harald's cheeks and roared, "Hey, Harald, do you even have a sense of self?!"

Harald, who was originally in a state of rage, suddenly had a glimmer of clarity in his uninjured eyes, and his whole body froze.

However, this clarity was fleeting, followed by darkness in his eyes and a brutal tone: "I'm in better shape than ever before! You bastards who covet Elbaf, I won't let a single one of you get away with this!!!"

Clearly, although Im separated his consciousness from Harald and did not monitor him in real time, Harald's thinking had already been corrupted and affected.

That was a change that had already begun before he returned to Elbaf.

From the moment he signed the contract, he was no longer the person he once was.

However, because Im had previously tried to take Elbaf, his consciousness had fiercely resisted. Now, Im's order was to kill Shiki, who coveted Elbaf, which he did not resist. Therefore, he did not realize that he was still being 'controlled'.

As for why Im lost consciousness and stopped monitoring, perhaps it was because he was afraid of pain.

This wasn't the first time; it must have been a habit. Back in God's Canyon, after Black Turn dominated Lox, he quickly withdrew his consciousness and stopped looking.

In the original story, when Harald fought Loki, Im also did not monitor the situation, so he did not know how Harald died.

The same situation exists now!

After signing the contract in Mary Geoise, Harald felt his power increase in an incredible way.

Before leaving the castle, Im transferred the power he originally intended to use to control Harald to Harald, further enhancing his strength.

It can be said that Harald is currently at his 'peak'.

On this vast ocean, when it comes to one-on-one combat, apart from Im, the controller, no one can rival him! Not even the former Rocks!

He raised his head and slammed it hard, smashing the ground with the back of his head. The powerful recoil also sent Roger flying.

At the same time, the ice monster that Vikingum had transformed into let out a painful howl. Harald's greatsword pierced through Vikingum's Susanoo and plunged into the ice monster's abdomen. The sharp blade, dripping with hot blood, emerged from the monster's back.

Seizing the moment when Vikingum was in pain and relaxed, Harald delivered a powerful elbow strike, slamming it into the jaw of the Ice Beast. The immense force sent the beast flying off its back.

Harald is in a terrible state; half of his neck has been torn off, and his shoulders have been pierced by ten claws, bleeding profusely. Roger has also blinded his right eye.

But this guy was immortal. As he struggled to get up, black smoke billowed from his wound, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely healed!

"Slash Wave!!!" Shiki roared.

The sharp slash whistled past, cutting a bloody wound directly into Harald's waist, exposing his muscular kidneys to the air.

But Harald paid no heed to his injuries; the savagery in his eyes intensified. With a battle cry, he gripped the hilt of his greatsword with both hands and unleashed a strike: "Overlord!!!"

With a pop, it was like opening a bottle of red wine, but what followed was an incredibly terrifying impact.

Harald still completely disregarded Shiki, and his primary target remained Vikingum.

The devastating impact of the Overlord Kingdom struck the Ice Beast that it had just overturned, leaving a deep trench tens of meters deep in its wake, and scraping away a layer of the indestructible branches of the precious tree Adam beneath the soil.

Seeing that Viking Gum couldn't dodge at all, Roger, who could have, suddenly had a ruthless glint in his eyes. His Conqueror's Haki erupted from Ace, and he stood before the giant beast, who had been stabbed and was still unable to get up, roaring, "Fire Kagutsuchi - Eishi!!!"

This attack was Roger's strongest move. Back in God's Canyon, he used this move in combination with Garp to defeat Rocks.

But this time, there was no Garp, but Harald, who had signed a contract and was not forcibly converted to the dark side!

The two strikes, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, collided instantly, causing the world to lose its color. The Adam Tree also trembled, and a large number of leaves fell from the sky. The waves around Elbaf surged and gathered into a tsunami, spreading in all directions.

The clouds in the sky were torn apart, and dark lightning shattered space, flashing incessantly.

Roger's hands, gripping the hilt of Ace's sword, bled crimson from the pressure, but ultimately could not withstand it. In the next instant, his killing strike was shattered, followed by a terrifying shockwave that swept over the area.

However, in the instant it swallowed his figure, the Ice Beast's arm grabbed Roger's tiny figure and held him protectively in its embrace.

With a deafening boom, the massive Ice Demon Beast was struck by the Overlord's Haki. The Susanoo, also formed from Conqueror's Haki, shattered instantly, blood exploding and then disappearing. The impact, carrying the Ice Demon Beast's body, slammed into the trunk of the Adam Tree of the Yang Realm, shaking the entire Elbaf!

Looking again, perhaps because of Roger's valiant resistance, or perhaps because Vikingum's massive body and Susanoo absorbed most of the impact before exploding, the Treasure Tree Adam was not pierced. The giant beast, its blood staining its frost-white fur, was embedded firmly in the tree trunk, like prey displayed by the Elbaf warriors upon their return from the hunt.

"Roger!? Viking!?" Rayleigh, who was fighting Zeffa, shouted in a frenzy.

Ze seized the opportunity and punched Rayleigh in the face, sending him flying.

Jabba, who was fighting alongside Silver Axe against Sengoku, was also staring blankly at the scene because he was in very poor condition due to his challenge against the Elbaf female warrior the night before.

At this moment, Jabba was filled with remorse. He shouldn't have indulged himself like that yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to unleash his full potential today!

After unleashing a full-force attack, even Harald, who possessed an immortal body, felt his legs buckle as if he were exhausted and stumbled.

In fact, he was indeed somewhat exhausted. Just now, he had unleashed all his strength and domineering aura in that attack, which was an absolutely devastating burst of power!

But he only needs a moment to catch his breath to recover!

"What did you do to Roger?! What a joke!!! Bastard!!!" Shiki roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot.

An island, like a meteor, fell from the torn clouds, its speed so great that it ignited flames in the sky. Enraged, Shiki slammed the meteor-like island down on Harald.

With a deafening roar, like an explosion, the island shattered. Harald's body, weakened by the brief moment of exhaustion and without the protection of his domineering aura, was also smashed to pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere. He was slammed into the ground by the island's meteor.

The surging shockwave spread out in a ring, completely destroying everything in its path. Those who were not strong enough could not withstand the aftershocks. More than a dozen giant warriors were instantly thrown into the underworld, and the nearby warrior village was directly destroyed into ruins.

It has to be said that Shiki also 'deeply loved' Roger.

On the coast, in a tavern, Harald's lover, Ida, held onto Loki tightly as he shouted angrily, saying, "Don't go over there! That's not a battle you can participate in right now!"

“But Father…” Loki struggled and roared.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Your father's condition is completely off. From the first day he came back, I already felt something was wrong!" Ida scolded and stopped him.

Chapter 156 Mythical Zoan Ability Awakening! Hachiman Saves His Life! (Bonus Chapter 2 for Monthly Tickets)

On the trunk of the precious tree Adam, Roger awkwardly poked his head out from the blood-stained fur.

The guy's mouth was bleeding profusely, and he was breathing heavily, clearly indicating that he was also seriously injured.

Fortunately, Vikingham was there to shield him, so he was only seriously injured and not seriously hurt.

"Hey, Viking, are you alright? Are you still alive?!" Roger looked at the giant beast behind him and asked frantically.

If Vikingham dies, he will definitely slaughter Elbaf!

“Waist…” Vikingham, transformed into a giant ice beast, uttered a single word in exhaustion.

"Is your back broken? You're finished! You'll be paralyzed even if you don't die!" Roger said in horror.

“If you can’t speak properly, then… don’t speak at all…” Vikingham cursed intermittently.

Roger breathed a slight sigh of relief at the fact that he could still speak. It seemed alright; he was just seriously injured. With the abilities of a Zoan-type Mythical Beast, as long as he didn't die on the spot, he was usually fine and would only need to lie in bed for a few months at most.

Due to the severity of his injuries, Vikingum could no longer maintain his Ice Serpent form. His fur rapidly retracted, and his size shrank at a visible rate.

During this process, the area of ​​the giant beast's lower back was also revealed. Where the precious tree Adam was smashed, a secret chamber embedded in the trunk was exposed.
